The Hero with a Thousand Faces is a seminal 1949 work of comparative mythology by Joseph Campbell, which introduces the concept of the monomyth (or "Hero's Journey"). Campbell argues that myths from diverse cultures share a fundamental narrative structure, detailing the archetypal hero's departure from the ordinary world, initiation through supernatural trials, and return with a boon for humanity.
The theory was heavily influenced by Jungian psychology, Freudian analysis, and James Joyce’s concept of the monomyth, while also drawing from the mythic scholarship of Heinrich Zimmer. Campbell posits that myths reflect the universal structure of the human psyche, stating that "dream is the personalized myth, myth the depersonalized dream."
Key impacts and characteristics include:
* Literary and Cinematic Influence: The structure has been consciously applied by modern writers and artists, most notably influencing George Lucas in the creation of the Star Wars saga.
* Structure: The journey typically involves a call to adventure, crossing a threshold, facing trials, encountering a mentor, achieving a decisive victory or reward, and returning to the ordinary world.
* Legacy: The book was named one of the 100 most influential books written in English since 1923 by Time magazine in 2011 and remains a vital resource for understanding the intersections of myth, culture, and psychology.
Francis, thank you for your content and work. I am especially interested in names and family lines that links the story to reality. You have written a lot on this. I have three questions. First, because I can't remember if you mentioned this, do you link the Venice gang to Pharao/Egypt? Second, do you know anything about the Faran family from Italy, and last, but most importantl, have you read Anatoly Fomenko or David Ewing jr? Thank you very much.
Thanks for the questions, Ole! I do think that there is a strong link between the Pharaohs and the Roman Empire, obviously long before Venice was established. Sean Hross covers that thoroughly in his many videos. I wrote about him here: https://francesleader.substack.com/p/the-swiss-beast-home-of-the-devil
I have not heard of the Faran family, sorry.
Fomenko and Ewing are among a long list of writers I would love to read more but, so far, I have only seen extracts.
I looked up the Faran family and felt suddenly stupid when I realized I ment the Farnese. I have my head in a research bubble. Both Fomenko and Ewing likes to play around with spelling to find hidden connections. Ewing connects Farnese both to Firenze, France and to Pharao in the bible and in the Koran.
I must admit that every time I read any of your articles I only dream about what you could have done if you get your hands on what Fomenko has done. He proves that history has been falsified. But he deals mostly with ancient history. Ewing is so far the only one who takes it further and shows how the recent history falls into place.
I can't write articles like you, but I would be happy to discuss it, because as far as I know, David Ewing and I are the only ones who read Fomenko's work. Nobody else is talking about it.
Fomenko does get mentioned very frequently by historians. I prefer to focus on the international organised crime syndicate and would urge you to listen to this podcast in which I explain my views in less than one hour.
Modern languages Butrus al-Bustani: The Untold Story of Arab World’s First Encyclopedist
Butrus al-Bustani created the Arab world’s first detailed Arabic dictionaries, an achievement unmatched by any scholar before him. His masterpiece, Muhit al-Muhit, earned him 250 Ottoman liras from Sultan Abdülaziz. The groundbreaking work took fourteen years to complete and revolutionized Arabic lexicography.
There we go the Jesuit grandfather of modern Arabic dictionaries.
One problem with adopting a perspective like mine is that so much becomes obviated subset. It makes you feel like an alien for being the only one that asked why like a toddler and kept asking until bedrock was struck.
Of course it's mostly that I simply wasn't told repeatedly that X was truth as a child. That's why the religion you have is always deeply correlated with where you were born. Followed by a few other accidents of birth.
But this article tells me that a given religion was what, made up? I'm like, aren't they all? (Even scientific material realism is just another religion.) Even if true in some ontological sense, like the past is still occurring in some distant realm we could visit with the proper machine, and all the claims are authentic. Even if it all happened our account of these things is the full package at this point, just like any past event. I know about religion the same way I know about Australia. People told me. The words themselves are made up. Layers and layers of fakery.
I just can't unsee it. The only thing that real is the present experience. And what I know of the past, 30 seconds or 30 millennia ago, are part of that present.
It just gets so insane when you start digging consistently. Thanks for coming to my ted talk X)
Oooo! Thank you Frances for posting this information here!
This is something that I've been questioning lately!
The Bible, the truth and who are the real author's of the Bible?
Is the Bible the true information sent to mankind from God, humanity's true Creator?
Considering the time period that we are talking about here, the Roman empire, the height of the Roman empire and the early Roman empire when it's trying to gain it's power, it makes total sense to me that the ruling class, ruling royalty, or the black Nobility, the Roman senate, would do whatever it could to centralize it's power by "creating" a religion, and "creating" a "savior" figure for the masses of people who are illiterate and can't read!
This is the ultimate and perfect form of control for an uneducated public, and for the empire to maintain control, for the Emperor and royal family to create pin names and authorship on a religious text or religious texts of the time 😆
I found 2 books mentioned here on welib.org here's the links if anybody is interested, the downloads are free, and people can create a free account here too and save the books to their account too and read on the Welib.org site!
It would be nice to get the same type of academic perspective on the royal writers who constructed the Hellenistic religion of the jews in Alexandria, Egypt around 200BCE and how the characters of Abraham and Moses and the kings were invented for the purpose of mind control and behavior control. If this is done in the book “Piso Christ”, then all the better.
Aaahh. Josephus aka Arrius Piso also borrowed the name “Philo of Alexandria”. These (so-called) “historians” were nothing more than pathological liars. Or so it seems.
An off topic question, Phil? Yes I am very well informed about the Committee of 300 and have included in many of my articles, references from the book written about that by John Coleman.
Sorry, God is infinite; he was, he is and will be. Our DNA is God's signature:

I have heard it actually. This interview made me aware of your work when it was launched.
Thank you, I'm glad to hear that. I always appreciate it. I will listen to your podcast.

But the New Testament was written in Greek. Or did you skip reading the actual content of this post?
which version and what date and do you have a copy of the original?
Thank You for this perspective on the manipulation of the teachings of Jesus to create a suitable religion for the Roman Empire, Frances.
We all know that it was done, but revealing some members of the team adds a refreshing twist to it.
"Caesar's Messiah: The Roman Conspiracy To Invent Jesus," by Joseph Atwill is another good read:

Many thanks for the links! The first one is an alternative copy of the book I was referencing in my article.
Oh, ok! I was wondering if that was the same book! 🤗
hello, it's me
I wonder why the foundations of Judaism are not as regularly academically attacked as the foundations of Christianity are. Curious.
If you read the book I referenced throughout my article you will see that the foundation of Judaism is just as bogus as Christianity.
It would be nice to get the same type of academic perspective on the royal writers who constructed the Hellenistic religion of the jews in Alexandria, Egypt around 200BCE and how the characters of Abraham and Moses and the kings were invented for the purpose of mind control and behavior control. If this is done in the book “Piso Christ”, then all the better.
Yes, it is. Here is the direct link to the pdf:

Aaahh. Josephus aka Arrius Piso also borrowed the name “Philo of Alexandria”. These (so-called) “historians” were nothing more than pathological liars. Or so it seems.
Are you aware of the Commitee of 300 that Gorbachev spoke about after the collapse of the Soviet Union?
An off topic question, Phil? Yes I am very well informed about the Committee of 300 and have included in many of my articles, references from the book written about that by John Coleman.
Thanks, I thought that I was imagining it. I hope that you are keeping well and that Scooty McScoot hasn't let you down.

Weren’t they involved in writing parts of the Bible?
Erm. That is what the article is about, Connie. Haven’t you opened it?
Yes, sorry Frances, I commented before reading the article, me bad!
