Mythicism: Is Richard Carrier Part Of The Solution or Part of The Problem, The Gnostic Perspective!
Executive Summary: The Collapse of the Bayesian Ceiling Richard Carrier’s mythicist framework, while logically superior to the “historicist” consensus, ultimately fails by establishing a 33% “historicity ceiling” that ignores the 10,000-year-old Egyptian foundation of the Christ-mythos. By adhering to the “Aryan Model” of history—which isolates Judeo-Christian development from its Afroasiatic roots—Carrier remains blind to the fact that the Gospel “history” is not a collection of legendary accretions around a man, but the “resurrection pie” of an ancient Kamite drama literalized for a Roman audience.
Using the works of Gerald Massey and Walter Williams, this critique demonstrates that Jesus is 100% Kamite mythology, institutionalized between 320 BCE (the creation of Serapis) and 451 CE (the Council of Chalcedon). Modern academia’s “Egyptophobia” and refusal to recognize the Karast mummy as the original Christos renders Carrier’s probability analysis obsolete.
——————————————————————————– 8-Point Systematic Dissection 1. The Bayesian Framework vs. Egyptian Typology Carrier uses the 22-point Rank-Raglan scale to argue Jesus is likely mythical, but he treats these traits as generic “hero” motifs. Massey proves these are not arbitrary traits but specific astronomical and eschatological “types”. • Carrier’s Error: Jesus scoring high on a myth-list suggests a “low probability” of existence. • Egyptian Reality: The “Jesus” narrative is a point-for-point reproduction of the Ritual (Book of the Dead). The “history” is merely a “spurious version” of the Gnostic explanation of the Egyptian mythos. Carrier’s 33% chance of historicity collapses into 0% when the “seed in the soil” is identified as 100% Egyptian.
