    'Jesus was Caesar': New book by Philosopher and Linguist Francesco Carotta Claims That the real identity of Jesus Christ has Been Discovered http://www.carotta.de See also: A documentary by Jan van Friesland The Gospel of Caesar - discovering the historical Christ-, a documentary film by Dutch Public Broadcast VARA-TELEVISION and director Jan van Friesland. http://www.vanfrieslandfilm.nl Following the tracks of two investigators on their quest for the historical Jesus this enthralling documentary about the life, death and apotheosis of ‘the greatest of mortals’ unravels the hidden origin of Christianity. Francesco Carotta, an Italian linguist, philosopher and engineer, discovered that the story of Jesus Christ is based on the life of Caesar. (Carotta, F. (1999) War Jesus Caesar? Munich.) Carotta: ‘Everything in the story of Jesus can be found in the biography of Caesar. The Gospel appears to be the history of the Roman Civil War, a ‘mis-telling’ of the life of Caesar – from the Rubicon to his assassination – mutated into the narrative of Jesus, from the Jordan to his crucifixion. Jesus is a true historical figure, he lived as Gaius Julius Caesar, and resurrected as Divus Julius, later transformed into Jesus.’ Inspired by Carotta’s publication in order to verify this hypothesis, together with Pedro García González, a Spanish priest, they investigated Roman traces of the passion in the Semana Santa, the Holy Week, and compared it with the reconstruction of the funeral of Caesar, according to the ancient sources, which lead to fragments of an earlier passion about the betrayal, death and ‘crucifixion’ of Caesar. García González: ‘The death and deification of Caesar is the essence and origin of Christianity, which happened on the Forum Romanum in Rome.’ Scholars speak of a paradigm shift with respect to the history of Chris- tianity: ‘This is a shift of paradigm in the history of religion.’ - Fotis A. Kavoukopoulos, Ph. D. ‘The author draws parallels between the founder of religion Jesus and Julius Caesar, the Roman emperor, whose name was given to all succeeding emperors.’ - Erika Simon, Ph.D. ‘This report is of the same order of importance as the scientific discoveries of Darwin and Galileo... Carotta’s discovery will turn the entire history of civilization upside down.’ - Paul Cliteur, Ph.D. ‘I try to explain this theory to my pupils at the gymnasium and give arguments for its plausibility and they react very enthousiastic.’ - Gerard Janssen, MA ‘As a work hypothesis it is very important, especially because it fills a gap, what, from the point of view of the investigation, heuristic, was never made.’ - Francisco Rodríguez Pascual, Ph.D. For more than four years the documentary maker accompanied the two investigators, the linguist and the priest, on their combined search for traces of the historical Jesus in several locations in Europe, among others Cyprus, Athens, Rome: Saint Peter and the Forum Romanum, London: British Museum, Madrid: Escorial, Utrecht: Geldmuseum, Rascrafría, Segovia en Bercianos de Aliste (Spain), Oberried and Kirchzarten (Southern Germany), Colmar (France), Leeuwarden: Piter Jelles Gymnasium. Van Friesland filmed in churches and monasteries, at scientific congresses and in Holy Masses. He recorded a reconstruction of the historical funeral of Caesar, which resembles the crucifixion story of Jesus, in a Spanish village. Carotta, García González and residents from a Spanish village performed on the basis of texts about Caesar’s death and funeral.

    'Jesus was Caesar': New book by Philosopher and Linguist Francesco Carotta Claims
    That the real identity of Jesus Christ has Been Discovered
    SOESTERBERG, The Netherlands, February 8 /PRNewswire/ --
    - Carotta: 'Everything of the Story of Jesus can be Found in the
    Biography of Caesar.'
    The Italian-German linguist and philosopher Francesco Carotta proves in
    his book Jesus was Caesar that the story of Jesus Christ has its origin in
    Roman sources. In more than fifteen years of investigation Carotta has found
    the traces which lead to the Julian origin of Christianity. He concludes that
    the story of Jesus is based on the narrative of the life of Julius Caesar.
    Carotta: ''The Gospel proves to be the history of the Roman Civil war, a
    'mis-telling' of the life of Caesar-from the Rubicon to his
    assassination-mutated into the narrative of Jesus, from the Jordan to his
    crucifixion. Jesus is a true historical figure, he lived as Gaius Julius
    Caesar, and ressurected as Divus Julius.''
    The cult surrounding Jesus Christ, son of God and originator of
    Christianity appeared during the second century. Early historians, however,
    never mentioned Jesus and even until now there has been no actual proof of
    his existence. Julius Caesar, son of Venus and founder of the Roman Empire,
    was elevated to the status of Imperial God, Divus Julius, after his violent
    death. The cult that surrounded him dissolved as Christianity surfaced.
    Carotta's new evidence leads to such an overwhelming amount of
    similarities between the biography of Caesar and the story of Jesus that
    coincidence can be ruled out.
    - Both Caesar and Jesus start their rising careers in neighboring states
    in the north: Gallia and Galilee.
    - Both have to cross a fateful river: the Rubicon and the Jordan. Once
    across the rivers, they both come across a patron/rival: Pompeius and John
    the Baptist, and their first followers: Antonius and Curio on the one hand
    and Peter and Andrew on the other.
    - Both are continually on the move, finally arriving at the capital, Rome
    and Jerusalem, where they at first triumph, yet subsequently undergo their
    passion.
    - Both have good relationships with women and have a special relationship
    with one particular woman, Caesar with Cleopatra and Jesus with Magdalene.
    - Both have encounters at night, Caesar with Nicomedes of Bithynia, Jesus
    with Nicodemus of Bethany.
    - Both have an affinity to ordinary people-and both run afoul of the
    highest authorities: Caesar with the Senate, Jesus with the Sanhedrin.
    - Both are contentious characters, but show praiseworthy clemency as
    well: the clementia Caesaris and Jesus' Love-thy-enemy.
    - Both have a traitor: Brutus and Judas. And an assassin who at first
    gets away: the other Brutus and Barabbas. And one who washes his hands of it:
    Lepidus and Pilate.
    - Both are accused of making themselves kings: King of the Romans and
    King of the Jews. Both are dressed in red royal robes and wear a crown on
    their heads: a laurel wreath and a crown of thorns.
    - Both get killed: Caesar is stabbed with daggers, Jesus is crucified,
    but with a stab wound in his side.
    - Jesus as well as Caesar hang on a cross. For a reconstruction of the
    crucifixion of Caesar, see:
    http://www.carotta.de/subseite/texte/jwc_e/crux.html#images
    - Both die on the same respective dates of the year: Caesar on the Ides
    (15 th) of March, Jesus on the 15 th of Nisan.
    - Both are deified posthumously: as Divus Iulius and as Jesus Christ.
    - Caesar and Jesus also use the same words, e.g.: Caesar's famous Latin
    'Veni, vidi, vici'-I came, I saw, I conquered-is in the Gospel transmitted
    into: 'I came, washed and saw', whereby Greek enipsa, 'I washed', replaces
    enikisa, 'I conquered'.
    Prominent European scholars and intellectuals are jubilant:
    'This report is of the same order of importance as the scientific
    discoveries of Darwin and Galileo. - Paul Cliteur, Ph. D., University of
    Leiden, The Netherlands -
    'Reading Francesco Carotta's book has fascinated me, ...leading the mind
    of the reader step by step to the solution of an obscure intrigue. This
    voyage was like a liberating and exhilarating breath of fresh air.' -Fotis
    Kavoukopoulos Ph. D., an international expert in linguistics, Athens, Greece -
    -'New connections which have never been seen that way'.
