[Andromeda]

A curious discovery by me during my History of Western Art class I learned something about the Mithra. The Mithra was an ancient religion/cult that existed during the time of the Roman Empire. Some say it pre-dates Christianity and might be the foundation for it. But that is all speculation, though one site makes the question that Does Mithraism mean Christianity is Fake.

Another interesting tid bit, my teacher said that the cult was an all male group.

Type Mithra in google and you'll discover nothing but things about the cult, at least for the first few pages, nothing about FFXI. Mithraic or Mithraism is a widely known cult that has people very curious about its very secretive roots.

I found it quite entertaining.
