Xena, >> Caesar's Messiah <<
Just a brief synopsis, but the 'Caesar's Messiah' narrative goes something like this --->
In the 1st Cent AD the Romans had been having so much trouble with their province in Judea (3 Jewish Wars, endless rebellions), that they had to keep numerous legions there just to keep a lid on things. The extreme Zealot faction in particular was an endless source of problems (similar to the Neocons of recent decades). The Roman Flavian rulers (Vespasian, Titus, Domitian) came up with an idea to 'chill out' the inhabitants of Judea so the Romans could hopefully move their legions to other areas of the empire where they were needed.
The scheme they came up with was designed with the help of Josephus, the Jewish 'court historian' to the Romans, who was an expert scholar on Jewish religious history. The narrative they came up with sounds ridiculous, and Josephus undoubtedly knew it wouldn't work in pacifying Judea, but went along with it anyway. Christianity already existed, but was still a relatively minor religion, but compared to Judaism it was extremely pacific and soft, stressing love, forgiveness, etc. So a perfect replacement for the aggressive and war-like Judaism. So the idea was to codify a narrative of Christianity as being the long awaited Messiah, and hope the folks in Judea would buy into it and thus be pacified.
Not leaving well enough alone, the Flavian rulers of Rome also wanted to add elements to the story that would indicate that Emperer Titus himself was the Messiah (!) This would never fool anybody in Judea, but Josephus dutifully wrote a narrative that exactly fit with the old Jewish Messianic details, with Titus in the role of their awaited Messiah.
Anyway, it didn't work, and Titus had to launch a full scale war against Judea, destroyed their Temple, and the Jews were once more scattered to the wind all throughout the ancient world. However, over the subsequent centuries Rome was running into many problems, and realized that the chilled out version of Christianity they had developed ('pay unto Caesar, love thy enemies, etc) was a perfect tool to not only control their own aging empire, but to also provide cohesion to the otherwise muti-religion vast empire. Ultimately Constantine adopted Christianity as the state religion, it became the basis for the Byzantine Empire, and then the later Holy Roman Empire, and up to today.
The above is just a brief summary, but Atwill published 'Caesar's Messiah' and it was an instant hit, especially with the Deep State anti religion ghouls, who are constantly trying to find ways to weaken and discredit traditional religion. Seeing this, I assumed that Atwill must be a paid Deep State historian, but looking at his later work suggests the opposite. But either way, his work has clearly been used by the NWO ghouls to trash traditional Christianity, so most regular religious groups hate 'Caesar's Messiah' and see it as blasphemy, etc.
But listening to Atwill himself discussing the historical details he presents in Caesar's Messiah, he is clearly on to something. The evidence is massive. Same with his later work on the shared origins of Zionism and Nazism, and his revelations on the true origins of the 1960s counterculture and drug movement. He's also written a 'alternate' type book about Shakespeare (was a woman), though I haven't examined it fully yet.
