  2. The Parthenon Code: Mankind’s History in Marble by Robert Bowie Johnson, Jr. presents overwhelming evidence for a revolutionary and astounding new interpretation of ancient Greek myth and art. It is this . . .

  3. Greek “myth” is not myth at all but rather the history of the human race told from the standpoint of the way of Kain (Cain).

  4. Greek artists told the story of what happened in the ancient paradise . . .

  5. The Greeks depicted the events leading up to Noah’s Flood, the disappearance of the line of Kain into the earth during the Flood, and Greek artists depicted Noah himself.

  6. The Greeks also told the story of mankind’s successful rebellion against Noah and his God after the Flood, and they painted many images of their celebration of the rebirth of the line of Kain after the Flood.

  7. Greek gods looked exactly like humans because, for the most part, they represented the Greeks’ (and our) human ancestors.

  8. The philosopher Sokrates knew the truth of this. In Plato’s Euthydemus, he referred to the gods Athena, Zeus, and Apollo as his “lords and ancestors.”

  9. Greek artists have left us a true picture of their history, and an artist’s code meant to be understood. They take us back to the woman being born full-grown out of the first man.

  10. And to that woman’s relationship with the serpent and the tree.

  11. The ancient Greeks recount the same events as Genesis, except from the contrary viewpoint that the serpent did not deceive Eve in paradise, but rather enlightened her, and through her, all of mankind.

  12. PART II ZEUS AND HERA, ADAM AND EVE, AND THE GARDEN PARADISE

  13. The couple Genesis calls Adam and Eve . . .

  14. The Greeks called Zeus and Hera.

  15. According to Genesis, Adam and Eve were the father and mother of all humanity.

  16. According to the Greeks, Zeus and Hera were the mother and father of all humanity.

  17. Adam and Eve were a brother-sister/husband-wife pair.

  18. So were Zeus and Hera.

  19. The Greek poets and playwrights traced Zeus and Hera back to an ancient paradise they called the Garden of the Hesperides.

  20. Greek artists always depicted the garden with a serpent-entwined apple tree.

  21. Genesis doesn’t say what kind of fruit tree it was. It’s from the Greek tradition we get the idea that Eve ate an apple.

  22. PART III KAIN KILLING ABEL DEPICTED ON THE PARTHENON

  23. In Genesis, we read of Adam and Eve’s eldest son, Kain (Cain), killing his younger brother Abel.

  24. On the south side of the Parthenon, in a series of four sculpted scenes, the Greeks depicted their memory of this very first human murder.

  25. These are the drawings of those sculpted scenes by Jacques Carrey from 1678.

  26. In the first panel, Kain, the taller and older brother, speaks with Abel.

  27. In the second panel, Kain argues with his wife over a sacrifice. The dispute with Abel had affected Kain’s family life.

  28. In the third panel, Abel is depicted as being in the field.

  29. In the fourth panel, Kain kills Abel.

  30. This is Greek narrative art at its best and most revealing.

  31. PART IV KAIN AND SETH, HEPHAISTOS AND ARES

  32. ADAM AND EVE KAIN SETH According to Genesis, after Kain killed Abel, Adam and Eve had another son named Seth. That means Adam and Eve had two sons who, in turn, each had offspring: Kain, the eldest, and Seth.

  33. ADAM AND EVE ZEUS AND HERA KAIN SETH HEPHAISTOS ARES Zeus and Hera also had two sons between them with offspring: Hephaistos, the elder, and Ares.

  34. According to Genesis, the members of Kain’s line were the first to become forgers “of every tool of copper and iron.” The Greeks deified Kain as Hephaistos, god of the forge.

  35. In the Greek system, Seth, the younger son of Adam and Eve, is Ares, the younger son of Zeus and Hera. Ares is the troublesome god of conflict and war.

  36. ADAM AND EVE KAIN SETH Bad Son Good Son CHRIST From the standpoint of Scripture, Seth was the good son, through whom the line of Christ was traced. Kain “was of the wicked one,” a reference to his association with “the ancient serpent.”

  37. But the Greeks considered the association of Hephaistos with the serpent, and his welcoming of the serpent’s enlightenment, to be good things.

  38. In the serpent-friendly Greek system . . .

  39. ZEUS AND HERA HEPHAISTOS = KAIN ARES = SETH Good Son Bad Son . . . Hephaistos, the deified Kain, is the good son. Ares, the Seth of Genesis, is the bad son. Zeus loved his elder son Hephaistos, and made him armorer of the gods. Zeus despised his younger son Ares, calling him “hateful,” “pestilent,” and a “renegade.”

  40. The Greek hero Herakles made it a point to kill the offspring of Ares, the Seth of Genesis. On this vase, Herakles kills Ares’ favorite son, Kyknos, as Ares looks on.

  41. From opposite viewpoints, Genesis and Greek Religion share a knowledge of the same historical events . . .

  42. ADAM AND EVE ZEUS AND HERA KAIN SETH HEPHAISTOS ARES . . . And they share a knowledge of the same characters, but with different names.

  43. PART V BEFORE THE FLOOD, THE SETH-MEN TAKE THEIR WOMEN FROM THE LINE OF KAIN

  44. And coming is that humanity starts to be multitudinous on the surface of the ground, and daughters are born to them. And seeing are sons of the Elohim (men in the line of Seth) the daughters of the human (the line of Kain), that they are good, and taking are they for themselves wives of all whom they choose. Genesis 6:1-2 In Chapter Six of Genesis, before the Flood, the men from the line of Seth are described as taking their women from the line of Kain: “taking are they for themselves wives of all whom they choose.”

  45. The Greeks depicted men from the line of Seth as Kentaurs, half-men/half-horses, who often carried branches, signifying to the Greeks that they were part of a strange “branch” of humanity.

  46. And the Greeks depicted these Kentaurs carrying off their women, just as it says in Genesis.

  47. According to Genesis, only the line of Seth, through Noah and his family, survived the Flood. The line of Kain disappeared into the earth.

  48. The Greeks depicted that same horrendous event as a man named Kaineus being beaten into the earth by Kentaurs, the line of Seth.

  49. Kaineus means “pertaining to Kain,” or the “line of Kain.” On this partially damaged vase, the artist has written the name KAINEUS next to the man being pounded into the earth by the Kentaurs.

  50. In the most ancient Greek manuscripts of the New Testament, Kain is spelled in uppercase letters, just as it is on the vase.
