Episode notes
Mystery Cults Are The Deep Root

- Cynthia Chung links Freemasonry and Rosicrucian traditions back to these ancient ritual centers as cultural continuities.
Priesthoods Survive And Shape Empires
- The Marduk priesthood maintained influence after Babylon's fall, indicating religious elites survived regime change.
- Chung views Babylonian cult practices, including human sacrifice, as foundational to later corrupt elite traditions.
