...you must have learned something
important about your origins?
:51:10
- We learned that our family...
- Which we traced way back.
:51:16
...significantly helped
some religions survive...
:51:21
...at the end of the Middle Ages.
:51:23
We're talking about
the worship of the goddess Isis.
:51:27
You're egyptologists?
:51:30
No, I'm mean the religion
which continued in Europe...
:51:35
...in spite of the persecution it
suffered from the Catholic church.
:51:41
That is why things were
borrowed from foreign religions...
:51:48
...as the goddess Isis was.
- Who we already mentioned.
:51:53
In particular, Christians
hunted down their enemies.
:51:58
They adopted the ancient
religion of the horned god...
:52:04
...who has been worshipped
since prehistory.
:52:07
Violently persecuted,
this religion was destroyed.
:52:13
Although they claimed
to worship the goddess Isis...
:52:18
...in fact, they had turned
a male god of local origin...
:52:23
...into a female god
of foreign origin.
:52:27
So those who opposed Christianity...
:52:31
...adopted two arguments
against their persecutors.
:52:36
They'd say, "We can't be blamed
for worshipping the horned god...
:52:41
...because she is a woman."
:52:43
Sometimes they'd say, "She is a
woman, so we do not revere an idol."
:52:50
This woman was the Virgin Mary.
:52:53
As I said, it was all about derision
because it was verging on blasphemy.
