Acharya S

Dorothy Milne Murdock (March 27, 1960 – December 25, 2015), better known by her pen names Acharya S and D. M. Murdock, was an American writer known for her support of the Christ myth theory, a fringe theory asserting that Jesus never existed as a historical person, but was rather a mingling of various pre-Christian myths, solar deities and dying-and-rising deities.

She wrote and operated a website focused on history, religion and spirituality, and astro-theology. She asserted the pre-Christian civilizations understood their myths as allegorical, but Christians obliterated evidence by destroying or suppressing literature after they attained control of the Roman Empire, leading to widespread illiteracy in the ancient world, ensuring the mythical origins of Jesus's story was hidden. She argued the Christian canon, as well as its important figures, were based on Roman, Greek, Egyptian, and other cultures' myths. Her theories are not accepted by mainstream historians, textual critics, and archaeologists, however have been promoted by scholars such as Robert M. Price, a fellow of the Jesus Project, and prominently featured in the 2005 documentary The God Who Wasn't There. Provided by Wikipedia
