Yeah, there's so much history to cover. Even at the conception, it's known that members of the Cult of Mithra, many who were high ranking officials & generals, helped create Constantine's theocracy. It was an ancient secret society amongst Roman Paganism, including their mystery schools, because it came from the east like the Orphic cult. There were accusations against such cults from the other folk. But the Romans generally had more respect for secrecy than we do, because they had their own mystery schools and were a multicultural empire. The Cult of Mithra had tiers of initiation with different levels of "gnosis" (Greek word for the Hebrew "da'ath," or knowledge), each tier requiring more severe oaths and rituals, it's very reminiscent of Freemasonry.
The mystery schools go back to Egypt, when you create a new chapter of what is just the brotherhood of the snake, you have to call it another name. The levels of initiation are designed to enslave anyone who is not at the top of the pyramid.
Is there any major distinction between the Anatolian/ Zoroastrian/ Canaanite/ Babylonian paradigm and the Egyptian mystery schools? It seems like the "additional chapters" of Mithra/ Orphic cults would be redundant if it was all based on the same paradigm or foundations.
They all seem to be the same. Caananites were egypts proxy empire. Something like half egyptian and greek. The entities they focus on are all similar. Plato spent three days in the pyramid and started a school. The canaanites would have been another sub chapter. They call these cults new names to hide in plain sight and work towards the same goal.
Its redundant on purpose. Most people wouldnt join satanists but would not think twice about jesuits etc. Low level people are led around by their noses.
