Thanks. I so far watched only 5 mins of that vid. Though must say, based on what I've watched so far they need to improve their research or how they connect the dots as the video starts.

For example, they mention "Mithra" as the Persian god and connect it somehow to the 'moon and stars' in Islam? That's completely inaccurate.

Historically, Mithra also known as Mehr (in persian language) was the sun-god centuries ago in pagan Persia & was the Main god to be worshiped. The moon, equivalent of Anahita was quite insignificant by comparison. The pagan Romans also worshiped Mithra (the sun-god), and knew Mithra as "Sol Invicta".

Moon worship (or symbolism) didn't really start in Turkey either. It started with the Arab Bedouins in what we now know as (Saudi) Arabia. Formerly known as Arabistan or just Arabia.

Also, any 'moon related' influences from pagan times originate from semitic races including Arabs.

One can also clearly ascertain the 'Moon deity' influence today in the Islamic and Arab calendar for instance, which is based on lunar cycles (moon phases). The Persian national/civic calendar, for example, still uses the Solar (sun based) calendar, as does the Turkish one.

I'll watch the rest of the vid later.

Yeah, I figured some of it is reaching/erroneous. The most important thing I took away from it was towards the middle where they explain Bible prophecy about the end times in a fresh way...How the Caliphate is the revived Ottoman empire (beast who’s deadly wound healed)and SA is Mystery Babylon.
