The diffusion of Egyptian cults in the Greek and Roman World Sources The Roman imperial fleet was one of the main gateways for diffusion of Egyptian cults into the Roman world, and both merchant and war fleets had significant role in that diffusion.

For the purpose of this article I will refer to the extraterrestrial intelligence by the more commonly accepted term of the Engineers.

First, crypto-Judaism could only be overcome by the introduction of an Inquisition; second, Jewish influence over the conversos could only be overcome by their expulsion.
