The audience listened quietly and attentively, then, without saying a word or showing any emotion, began to clap. Having enjoyed the applause, which, however, was surprising to Nomor himself, he stood up, bowed like a stage master, and continued:

– I will draw your attention to a certain abstraction transferred from the subconscious. One of such abstract comparisons, which carries a sacral meaning, is the model of burial, i.e. departure to the other world. After all, it is not for nothing that this began to be given great importance. Let's return mentally to my hypothesis about the Sun, which was lost not only at night, but for half a year. It gave food for mystery, birth in minds of assumptions about possible variant of the world where such "day" and "night" take place. A little crookedly said, but still I'm sure you understood better the associative component of my thought. So, pay attention to how and where they buried majestic people, that is, how they wanted to be buried by these very people, meaning in their time more than mere mortals. I am talking about dolmens, burial mounds, pyramids and similar tombs. I am about to give some comparison and I apologize in advance. I'm sure you don't understand what I mean. And I want to ask you: what does the emblem, the sign on a woman's latrine look like?

Although the hall had swallowed the "worm", the "stabilizers" of consciousness were working clearly. Everyone was silent, waiting for an answer from the theologian. The theologian did not pause.

– Yeah, it's a triangle with the base down. And there's an "entrance" somewhere… What do pyramids look like? And there's an entrance at the bottom. What's my point? In many funerary structures, for example, burial mounds, the entrance is extended corridor and peculiarly framed, resembles a woman's womb. It is not just so, it is on the partition at the end of the corridor, separating the outer and inner parts, the rays of the sun, we imagine – God, get only at a certain position, and even only at a certain time of year and even day. Now think, why was Jesus' body put in the cave for three days? Why was such a decision made? The cave seemed to represent a portal to pass from one world to another. It was a kind of association of a woman's womb in which conception took place. The same association existed, or rather, that's why it was born, when the sun went somewhere or at least stopped and rolled in the other direction. But it didn't roll physically… it rolled what it affected, which was time. Like finding itself in a cosmic portal, a cave. And, of course, nine months later, at the end of December, in this "cave" was to be born the great king of heaven, the son of God, eventually God himself, who, of course, was to bring salvation. And now think, why in all corners of the world, where intelligent life appeared, the first god of all became the sun? I'll give you a hint – the next god was fire. The answer is that it gave life, strength and power. First, for survival in general: think of the example of polar nights and think with what hope you would wait for light and warmth. Secondly, power and strength in battles, including with wild animals.

The lecturer took a breath, apologized for leaving the main topic. The experts were partly delighted, partly surprised. They listened with pleasure and wanted to continue.

– Let's remember where we left off. At the situation when the crypt with Christ was empty. What happened next? These guards, after finding the crypt empty, went to the chief priests and reported the body missing. Here it may seem strange why the guards went to the chief priests. In order to understand this mishap (as if the power in the country is Roman in general, accordingly, all the soldiers are subordinate to Pilate), we need to look into the Gospel itself. Matthew writes about it as follows: "…on the next day, which follows Friday, the chief priests and Pharisees came together to Pilate and said, 'Sir! We remembered that that deceiver, while he was still alive, had said, 'After three days I will rise again; therefore order the tomb to be guarded until the third day, lest His disciples, coming by night, steal Him away and say to the people, "He has risen from the dead"; and the last deception will be worse than the first. Pilate said unto them, You have guards; go, guard as you know how. They went and set a guard at the tomb, and put a seal to the stone." According to another version – they persuaded Pilate to allocate their men to the guard, because the Sabbath was ahead and Jews should not work. The officials of the high priest probably paid the prosecutor for the favor. And afterwards, when they reported the missing…I quote "…And these assembled with the elders, and took counsel, and gave quite a sum of money to the soldiers, and said, Say, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept; and if a rumor of it should come to the governor, we will persuade him, and save you the trouble. And they took the money, and did as they were taught; and this word has passed among the Jews until this day" (Matthew 28:11-15). I understand what you are thinking right now…and yet.....
