- Christianity is thought of as a religion of peace. But this episode reveals something different. The investigation begins with a mysterious symbol found engraved on an ancient skull. The film then discovers the same symbol on the walls of Roman army barracks and on pillars of underground churches. From Pompeii to the farthest reaches of the Empire, this episode reveals how Christianity secretly thrived within the very army that was supposed to suppress it.
Secrets of Christianity brings the techniques of investigative journalism to history, with Simcha Jacobovici connecting the dots of many academic and scientific disciplines to present a new take on the past. The series uncovers alternate truths that have either eluded us, or been kept from us - until now. - Krátké a kreslené filmy

Prof. Irvin Finkel is here! Thank you for the insights!!
Jesus always was and and is not only Son of God but he’s also God! “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.”
John 1:1, 14 NKJV

I was told about the SATOR square in 1973. The message is the central message of Christianity; work to reap what you sow - "do unto others what you would have done to you" or "love your neighbour as yourself".
The Romans merged pagan traditions with Christianity but the big change was the merge Constantine created from Sun god worship.
Hence the Catholic Church.
Try to remember the roman centurion who came to Jesus in cainan asking if Jesus can come with him and cure his son. But Jesus refuses and said that, go home, your son will live. And the roman general can't do anything but trust on Jesus words. So he thank Jesus for his words and go on his way home. When he arive on his household. His soldier tells him that his son is cured, at the same time Jesus spoke the words "go home, your son will live"
Remember that when this happened, That general and his household start to worship Jesus and follow him. Try to remember that story
Nice STORY !
Merlie Capobres amen
Remember that blind faith is ultimately what we rely on. I trust jesus promise to return in 2030 amen

Great research team,*
those who, personally, witnessed the Crucifixion and, then, the Resurrection, were, undoubtedly, the first Christians...
how could you *not* be?
by not experiencing it firsthand, like the rest of the selfish world
@Mr Scratch I'm used to observing ignorance among 8 billion gentiles but damn your pig flies higher then average. They give you a skin milk bath like Babe. He was a terrific pig, he just didn't want to get eat. It's very understandable.
Why would a profound intellectual personalized signature of yourself leaving such a horrible and ingenious characterized character of one self. Why not withhold some of your integrity & stay quiet during bleeped moments or oopps I had a brain fart.

There were plenty of so called gentile Christians, especially after Paul got going.
wow this is amazing!!
Wonderful documentaries. Thank you for the wonderful work. You are an artist.
This is my favorite episode
St. Longinus who pierced the Lord became a Christian. He was depicted in the Passion of Christ who, after piercing, knelt down.
So happy I found this
All The Gospels, Speak Of Such Folk! Research-Research-Research!! Well-Done!!
The two fish symbol was used as Jesus WAS The Christ of Pisces. He was born in Pisces on the 15th March and at the beginning of the Age of Pisces (which we are now leaving behind for Aquarius). The FIRST Christian church ever built anywhere was constructed by Jesus around the age of fourteen on the slopes of 'Brown Willy' - the highest point on Bodmin Moor, England, not too far from the birth place of his grandmother Anna (Saint Anne of Cornwall). I have the transcript of a letter from Pilate to Tiberius in which he states "This man is more a friend to Rome than an enemy". And of course when Jesus was brought before Pilate he said several times "I find nothing wrong with this man". In 1958 when in a small chapel in London Jesus gave an updated extension to The Sermon on The Mount (which is not secret) He stated regarding The Sun "... It is The God of The Bible, It is the Brahma of the Hindu scripts, it is the nearest thing to God in your concept of manifestation." .
Fish.. From Jesus word, to Peter.... Fisher of men.
God Bless you abundantly syndica. Ameen
WOW!!! BRILLIANT! THANKYOU!
And if he had bothered to read the Bible there were Roman soldiers converted when Jesus was alive, when he was crucified and just after
I am thinking maybe your not so smart?
@@ilovegir Move along troll.
@@ilovegir I am thinking youarte not an expert - it is written in the Bible of various conversion of Roman soldiers to Christianity also one of the leaders of Rome converted and spread Christianity. Do some research before you make stupid comments.
Yea I have watched a few of these Videos from this guy and I agree with some and like what he is looking for. But suspect he aint no Christian - and a lot of his so called conclusions based on perceived fact are just pain wrong.
As one Roman soldier said, Truly He is the son of God...

shut up idiot your bible is made by the roman empire
@@the_light_wins1718 the Bible is man made you can't trust it Jesus was a Jew that's what history said their is no proof that the deciples worshiped him, so the bible saying Jesus is god is a corruption, and the saving throught the blood is a pagan idea which was common in that time persian for example believed in that, so Christians are pagans and god is not a man the old testament say that

Roman soldiers we're the first to witness to the Resurrection of Jesus.
yes the two
sorry, this is "testified" by Christians, hundred(s) of years AFTER: si I choose not to believe it.
@@florinnegretu7425 it's nothing wrong with not believing their illustrated instructions that was handed down through edited editions from notoriously infamous people power.
I'm not saying Jesus did not appear after he did not die on the cross but free Willed himself to the father out loud in front of the standers.
Resurrection happens before the death. Living God & the living Father contributed to the world as the world crucified Jesus so Jesus could crucify the world. What's going on now it's nothing. When it's all said and done in Jesus's lifts crucifixion. There won't be no more church and Bible on Sundays as they preached hellfire on others & create fear so they can could sell hope. humans are not ready to develop for spiritual realm & very very long time before so
What were they doing in the tomb?

the top 3 soldier we know to be saved is Cornelius, the one with the healed servant, and the roman guard of the prison of paul and silas
I loved it.. so interesting
This is so very true!
Dr. Finkel got it right "Sator Square" means "PATER NOSTER" in a cross sign with alpha and Omega.
A Christian Code.
Alepo Sator Tenet Rotas Opera
"The Alpha and Omega Hold the Wheels in Work"
"JESUS MAKES GOD'S WORK POSSIBLE"
What a load of rubbish!
It is possible since the Roman soldiers who've crucified Christ witness supernatural things - the darkening of the day and the earthquake and there were many Roman soldiers who became Christian bishops and saints.
mindt kiri Romans ......no Yews They choose To Kill him. Federal gov Rome..... Governor, mayor Jew. They did Rome said Non of our buss-inis....
Army
*Matthew **27:54* Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God. (KJV)
An army officer and those watching Jesus with him saw the earthquake and the other things happening. They were terrified and said, "Certainly, this was the Son of God!" (GWT)
St. Longinus who pierced Jesus Christ was one.
I agree
Jesus makes God's work possible. This was from 79 A.D. Awesome! God's work of salvation - the gospel - the good news of God. I have the same faith. Rally enjoying the series. thank you.

A Roman Centurion`s servant was healed by Jesus after he approached Jesus and asked him to do so. This Centurion and his entire family became Christians.
Amen.
Amazing video! I love the professionalism from Simcha..God bless you always for his love in discovery ancient evidences..it makes sense to me why the Catholic churches are as they are and worship gods...basically the converted Romans brought a transformation of faith...combining what they used to worship and then how they saw jesus and is the teaching from centuries...so I could say that those ones were the first knight templars...?? So..this message went transformed over the years until it was spread all over Europe and the message have been changed in the course of the time while time passes and now we have different but similar be livings like what Russians workshop and so on. And finally the we have the Vatican in Rome. But...many things have corrupted over the time..sadly. amazing discovery...this Guy deserves a nobel prize!
No news here. Saints Loginus, George, Demetrius, Theodore, Morice, Fidelis, the 40 Martyrs of Sabastia and many more were Christian Roman soldiers who were martyred under the Roman Persecutions. Yet no mention of this ancient Orthodox Christian Tradition.
@Artoo Deetoo yes, St Cornelius, and many others as well.
Don't forget St. Sebastian.
@@titob.yotokojr.9337 yes there are many more. And I wouldn't forget St Sebastian (I even have a reliquary icon of him).
@Artoo Deetoo well I'm Eastern Orthodox, and with all due respect, we consider that when Rome went into schism in 1054 she in effect became protestant. Most protestants, excepting such as 7th Day Adventists and Jehovah's Witness, celebrate Christmas on the Gregorian Dec 25th, proving they are stepchildren of Rome. The failure here is in understanding of why the date was selected. The Early Christians kept the Feast of Theophany (we still do) which is the baptism of Christ with His birth as a footnote. In the 4th century the Eastern Fathers selected Dec 25th on the Julian Calendar specifically because it was a couple of weeks before Theophany, AND was the birthday of the unconquered sun. They used the image of Christ as the Sun of Righteousness, which actually is commemorated in the Nativity hymnology.
@Artoo Deetoo God says don't worship Him In the manner, the heathens worships their pagan god(s). The Bible says they cry for tamuzz in My House make ☁ 🎂 for "👑 of heaven" Christmas&Easter He called them abominations. It's easy to find this is Ishtar (Easter) tamuzz Xmas
Wow so cool
Okay a very good documentary and I will hand it to him, great research. I did not like the one about debunking giants as it had me believe the man was a shill, but this one was pretty awesome.
I have Lyme Disease; I'm sympathetic to how Symcha had to protect himself from ticks!
Look into psychosomatic healing, and the possibilities build until all out spiritual Christian healing..... There is a bee sting technique for starters.....

The thing I like is that the word ROTAS that means "wheel" actually forms a wheel in the square in that it goes around it and can be read around it in both directions...and the word TENET actually forms a cross. Its a very powerful piece of symbology! Nice one!
When Christ died there was apparently an eclipse of the Sun that lasted for 4 hours. Now considering that the Romans worshipped the Sun _as a_ God this must have been pretty momentous and mind-numbing for them...lol. It was probably at that point that they realised that they had buggered up! When one of the Roman soldiers said in an American accent as in Cecil B Demils movie "Truly this man was the Son of Gaad!
Son of Gaad ?
There is a strong and long tradition in the Catholic Church that the centurion in Matthew 27:54 who exclaimed "Truly, this was the Son of God!" converted to Christianity.
And of course, the whole of chapter 10 of the book of Acts is devoted to the conversion of the centurion Cornelius.
Well it makes sense that some would covert, of course. But you cannot intermingle paganism and the teachings of jesus as it would seem some of the romans were beginning to do. They are oil and water my friend.
Oh yes, that well known Roman Centurion, John Wayne!
@@isaachunt7107 I quote scripture and you bring in the world of make believe, the movies. You have become delusional from watching too many movies.
@@mkultra8640 How would you know that, were you actually present during the early era of Christianity? My topic is scriptural accounts of Roman soldiers secretly converting to Christianity.
@@titob.yotokojr.9337 Make believe? At least I can prove John Wayne existed!
Thx a lot that was exciting
Thank you this documentary,we need more like this to get the lost truth right.
Luke 7: 1After he had finished speaking in the hearing of the people, he entered into Kfar Nahum. 2A certain centurion had a beloved servant who was sick, close to death. 3When he heard about Yeshua, he sent elders of the Jews to him, asking him to come and save his servant. 4When they came to Yeshua, they begged him earnestly, “He is worthy for you to do this for him, 5because he loves our nation, and he built our meetingplace for us.”
This is 7 book of moses hidden book 📖
A very convincing archeological research about early Christianity.
@Pulang Araw DareAngeL so are u Jewish or Muslim now?
@Pulang Araw DareAngeL how do born again christian beliefs differ from catholic? They both believe in the trinity? Christmas? Easter? Birthdays? They believe they when someone dies they either go to heaven or hell? Yet all these are of pagan origin.
@Pulang Araw DareAngeL so is it ok for the true gods followers to celebrate pagan traditions? Xmas, birthdays etc. I understand that you have got rid of the idols, but the belief system still have similarities?
i tend to agree with his the result of his investigative research here & how he decoded the square. Makes a lot of sense to me.
A great achievement watching this documentary, God bless you all for the great work.
The sator square was used by a religious healer in Philippines who cured me when I was young. It seems like a magical word or a some sort of prayer.
Healed from leprosy?
Another interesting search, interesting I looked up the word: Tenet and multiple dictionaries show the earliest use of the word in English is 1600, which is obviously wrong but the meaning seems to hold all the way back to these Sator squares. Tenet, a principle, belief, or doctrine generally held to be true Even to this day (tenet) holds form is maintained and for some reason the definition does not seemed to be linked to Latin or Christianity . Just another proof that a lot of the meanings that are all around us have become either twisted or lost. I wonder where Sador squares originated, if history has any clue, these squares were taken from something else. In the years 50-60 Sator squares must have seemed like magic, they make me think of computers. Thanks for the show I look forward to researchin this more. Funny I am just learning about "Secrets of Christianity." Great show and i had no idea the Simcha was in production still. Sure makes me happy to see him here :) Thank you
Today, the consequence of the Cartesian mind-body-natural-spiritual split is key.
37:57 - the best part.
arepo the sower keeps working swiftly, is a better translation of the latin magic squaretenet = holding or keeping. rotas can be translated as swiftly , continious, it means he keeps spreading the word.with urge
Even the Longinus who use the lens and Pierce the heart of Jesus he is a Roman soldier because he has a total conversion after the piercing of heart of Jesus what about Marcos
I do not recollect that at all. what I've always known when the soldiers sphere Jesus in the side. Moments after Jesus willed himself unto the Father out loud and in front of the standers.
Being of a creation gives us the right to choose. free will maybe double said I'm not saying it's not. Free Will is a creation as a tool for mankind. A person can choose not dwell and taste death. Free will, free to choose but they will to give back what was given
Faith is a creation and a tool also. A manifesting tool
Have I been living in my phantom drive? I never heard Jesus was stabbed in the heart
Christians influenced the Roman empire more through bureaucrats than legionnaires. Christians learned to read and write in order to read Scriptures for themselves so as literate people they formed a disproportionate percentage of the Roman establishment. Around 250AC is when gentile Christians began to outnumber Jewish followers, and a lot of them entered Roman service, again, because they were a select few that could read and write and the Roman bureaucracy needed thousands of local clarks. Importing Latin speakers from Rome was useless even if they had the numbers. They needed Aramaic speakers.
Jesus Christ will take many by surprise
It means,,, Revolution through the written word is the slow movement to free speech
The satyr square I think could have been a word game. Even tho they say it's not. If you read the letters diagonally in any direction they make up palindromes. They can be read the same forward or backwards. So from the top right read diagonally down the the bottom left reads "srnrs" and the top left read down the to bottom right reads "rpnpr". You can do this in any diagonal direction. And then when read line by line you notice other patterns like top left down to bottom left reads the same and the very bottom line read backwards from bottom right to bottom left. I can read the word "opera" in 4 different places. It's almost like an early Sudoku game
You mean “SATOR” Square. Isn’t like game you mention, but the complete opposite. God said, “There is nothing new under the sun.”
You said yourself that local militias were sent as auxiliaries with the Legions to Masada. I'm thinking a thousand ninety five years later, then borrowed what they saw. They loved mysticism and wrote in mathematical anagrams.
This is all lies and they know it. This supposed Christian word puzzle is a pagan magical spell for protection and healing. In the early days all religion was thought of as magic. Taught by magicians not priests and it blended all of what we call "religions" together. All anyone need do to prove it is read the PMG. In it a magician explains how to write it, how to use it, what gods it adjures, etc. These aren't Christian symbols. They are pagan magical symbols. It implores the 4 living creatures to grant health and protection. Hence why it's seen in Roman military barracks. If Christians were persecuted (which they weren't, we know this from Christian diaries of the day. Yes they kept diaries. and the Roman military was becoming Christian it wouldn't escape notice. Why? Because soldiers ranked up then just as they do today. Carving Christian symbols into stone wouldn't go unnoticed and all these academics know it. They count on people being wilfully ignorant.
Very nice to know that Roman soldiers even 100+ years after Jesus still continued to believe.
@ approx. 25:50 - rotas opera tenet arepo sator = The father works on wheels and holds arepo
Looking at other discoveries too, I think the Evionites and the Essenes were the ones who were persecuted. The Pauline religion that was for gentiles was this one - sanctioned in secret agreement between Herod (whichever Herod of the time - remember folks, semitic vassals always take names of their fathers instead of earlier patriarchs or prophets!!) and Caesar. The essence of it (the Jesus religion as a member of Roman Pantheon with those flavors) still became something very monotheistic in time.
Very interesting theory.
There exists another one which might go well with it. I came across it while 40 years ago I was investigating on the hypothesis that christianity could be a kind of "medical" religion, which had healing or becoming whole again at the core of it's message. In roman times around the times of Christ the asclepic healing cult (amongst other greek ideas) spread widely within the Roman empire and apparently prepared ground for the spread of christian belief, as the areas where this cult had manifested itself functioned like crystallising points for christianity.
(Unfortunatly when I decades later tried to find the sources for this observation in scientific literature I didn't succeed.)
Letters on The amphora are made when The amphora has made!!! Also Salonas IS Salonas etc.

The SATOR riddle
What you sow you reap.The Golden Rule.
Paul was chained to a Roman centurion, Roman soldier in the prison in Rome where he spent the last couple years of his life. He ministered to and threw his daily activities activities...
Yesterday I scratch that rock I did carved carvings them
The science of literary analysis shows that the Gospels are Flavian propaganda not Jewish histories. This is why the Roman Army promoted Christianity.
this was the ancient roman's way to avoid widespread christianity
Remember Jesus also had a friend who was Jewish rabbi.he also secretary followed Jesus Christ,and was christian .
The Sator square was a witchcraft protection spell. I have seen it plenty of times in witchcraft books
This is really close to what muslims say about Jesus peace be upon him. He was a prophet sent to the lost sheep of the children of Israel. Than his teachings got hijacked by pagans, they combined what he said with what they believed about mithra and created christianity. Jesus said that he came only to fulfill the laws of moses. Jesus also said that he was only sent to the children of Israel not the gentiles. Jesus was on the ground in prostration begging God not to allow for his crucifixion, and his supposed last words were my God my God why have thou forsaken me. That doesn't sound like someone willing to be the lamb, someone who wants to die for others sin. He was sent as a Jewish prophet.
As far as trying to decode the Sator square, the decipher specialists are missing the "X". If you trace the square in an X pattern, it's all consonants and no vowels. There has to be a reason for this, I don't think it's coincidence.
5:50 the tower of Babel
Waldemar Januszczak knows what the square denotes
So secret, so small with a world carried with.
This is like wow... To find actual evidence of early Roman worshippers.
Rome enslaved anyone into their Roman army, especially in Judea, the question should be, how many early Christians were enslaved into the Roman army, seeing Hebrew and Christian symbolism together is new to us, but most likely it was normal for early Christians to still practice the Hebrew religion, you know, Christianity does have its roots in Hebrew religion, no?
Yes
Pachomius the Great was 21 and pagan in Egypt just as Constantine was fighting. He was forcefully enlisted, but had been impressed by kind Christians as he was taken. In 9 months he was let out, and sought Anthony the Great....
The "hidden" meaning behind the sator square seems fairly obvious to me. You have the word tenet running top to bottom and left to right. 5 square and 5 square.... adding up to 10, like ten commandments. Also forming a cross
I'm sure the Roman Army contained plenty of disgruntled soldiers who wanted to escape to another world.
In our day we have the same problem
John 14:8-9 King James Version (KJV)
8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?
Please don't make documentary without knowing the basic thing that "Jesus is God"
Jesus clearly answered before Abraham was Iam, The word in the beginning became flesh in human form that's "JESUS".

@ 25:45 - My first impression was also a game before she said it, but I'm convinced it is not. What I feel? I feel like it's a posted warning of sort or a message telling soldiers or perhaps even prisoners as they march [or if prisoners, were marched] through the yard & coridors they see it every day.... it's a reminder to "Work Hard" - Not very scientific, but it could be a warning?!?!
What many people don't know is that some of the Roman emperors e.g. Nero, were initiated into certain of the ancient mystisms to increase their power and so also considered the emerging Christianity as a threat to their powerand so persecuted them. Things are not always what they seem on th surface.
He’s a tall tall man from a tall tall land. He makes no apology for his archeology...
I definitely believe that because how many Roman soldiers did Jesus perform miracles in the Gospels?
Just praise the Lord GodThe Almighty
32:42 That sun cross is the Eucharist.
It also looks like the Egyptian symbol ank.
yes there was a Roman Centurian in the book of Mathew 8.5-15...When Jesus entered Capernaum. There a centurion, whom his master valued highly, was sick and about to die. The centurion heard of Jesus and sent some elders of the Jews to him, asking him to come and heal his servant and he got healed.
I think that centurian and his soldiers are first Roman soldiers who got converted to Christianity when they witnessed their sick got healed from Jesus.
Jesus and The Roman Centurion has just come to life. I believe
Sol Invictus was not invokeed until the time of 250 AD
No wonder the Roman emperors were eventually forced to adopt some form of Christianity. No ruler can stay in power without military support. Most likely the soldiers were converted through their contact with foreign middle eastern women they married, a common custom in Roman legions permanently stationed abroad.
Seems like an incredible stretch. They said the a and the o were left out because in revelation Jesus called himself the alpha and omega. The only problem is Pompeii was destroyed in 79 ad and the book of revelation wasn’t even written yet.
Roman were afraid of the Christian believer that if they all die than who will work for them and for this reason Roman had to accept Christianity
The romans present at our Lord's crucifixion must instantly have been convinced and from then on seeking God and helping disciples , was his name Longiines , the one with a speer. A black soldier as I remember it , and his colleagues too as the rumors spread of what happened in that moment he died for our sinners , the holy of holy schroud got ripped , the heavenly signs too . Unlike today news spread through a entire city by mouth in minutes
As he said... TRULY, He is the son of God.
Yes the army of Rome was one way it spread. quickly starting with longinus
How u think eventually constantine converted? By a vision alone?
Resurrectec messiah defeats rome by taking roman army from caesar over time
An army is more loyal to the god than the man
If they were christian they would realize that caesar is the beast of revelation 13 they knew the symbols back then
So the roman army was loyal to christ long b4 constantine
I think we see messiah defeating rome with in not by the sword but by peace.
God knows all and is wiser than all of us
Amen
If the surrounding area was an encampment for the Roman soldiers,i would think among their ranks would be slaves tending to some of their needs as well.
The cave as a holding cell for these,isnt too far fetched a possibility,and with who among these were in that mix.
The cross carved in the cave is splayed. Looks to me to be Templar; or that the Templar cross has more ancient origins.
@Leslie thats me I've never heard that before. Romans from Rome or Byzantium? Where'd you get this idea?
Since very ancient times the cross has ALWAYS stood as a SYMBOL of CROSS. Later, appropriated and popularized as a Christian symbol for J.C.
