Alexander Von Humboldt, in his "_American Researches_," also speaks of this feast, when the Mexicans crucified a man, and pierced him with an arrow.[200:8] The author of _Monumental Christianity_, speaking of this, says: "Here is the old story of the _Prometheus crucified_ on the Caucasus, _and of all other Pagan crucifixions of the young incarnate divinities of India, Persia, Asia Minor and Egypt_."[201:1] This we believe; _but how did this myth get there_? He does not say, but we shall attempt to show, in a future chapter, how _this_ and _other_ myths of Eastern origin became known in the New World.[201:2] It must not be forgotten, in connection with what we have seen concerning the Mexican crucified god being sometimes represented as _black_, and the feast when the _crucified man_ was shot with an arrow, that effigies of a _black crucified man were found in Italy_; that Crishna, the crucified, is very often represented _black_; and that _Crishna_ was shot with an arrow. Crosses were also found in _Yucatan_, as well as Mexico, _with a man upon them_.[201:3] Cogolludo, in his "History of Yucatan," speaking of a crucifix found there, says: "Don Eugenio de Alcantara (one of the true teachers of the Gospel), told me, not only once, that I might safely write that the Indians of Cozumel possessed this holy cross in the time of their paganism; and that some years had elapsed since it was brought to Medira; for having heard from many persons what was reported of it, he had made particular inquiries of some very old Indians who resided there, who assured him that it was the fact." He then speaks of the difficulty in accounting for this crucifix being found among the Indians of Cozumel, and ends by saying: "But if it be considered that these Indians believed that the Son of God, whom they called Bacob, _had died upon a cross, with his arms stretched out upon it_, it cannot appear so difficult a matter to comprehend that they should have formed his image according to the religious creed which they possessed."[201:4] We shall find, in another chapter, that these virgin-born "_Saviours_" and "Slain Ones;" Crishna, Osiris, Horus, Attys, Adonis, Bacchus, &c.--whether torn in pieces, killed by a boar, or crucified--_will all melt into_ ONE. We now come to a very important fact not generally known, namely: _There are no early representations of Christ Jesus suffering on the cross._ Rev. J. P. Lundy, speaking of this, says: "Why should a fact so well known to the heathen as the crucifixion be concealed? _And yet its actual realistic representation never once occurs in the monuments of Christianity, for more than six or seven centuries._"[202:1] Mrs. Jameson, in her "History of Our Lord in Art," says:
