I'm doing research for a book and came across the Mises/Moses story as outlined in The Christ Conspiracy. The narrative in reference discusses that Moses is from the Assyrian cultural character, Mises, as stated in Lloyd Graham's book, Deceptions and Myths of the Bible. I cannot find Graham's source nor any information on Graham.

Can anyone, including Acharya, assist me with this research? Are there other academic or historical evidentiary sources for the Mises/Moses connection?

Hey there, give the New Zeitgeist Part 1 Sourcebook (August 2010) Transcript a going over. It mentions the Mises-Moses issue several times from several sources starting on #48, page 82. Also, look for it in Christ in Egypt.

I'm pretty sure that Joseph Campbell gets into that too along with the Moses and King Sargon I of Akkad parallel. But that subject spreads out over a wide range of different books and lectures. I just remember hearing about it somewhere in Campbell before I saw ZG part 1 or heard of Murdock.

I delve into the Moses-Mises parallel in greater detail in my book The Gospel According to Acharya S as well (pp. 69ff).

Basically, "Mises" is an epithet of Dionysus, a number of whose exploits parallel those of Moses. As I say in The Gospel (71): Thus, we discover traditions attached to Dionysus/Bacchus, also called Iacchus and Mises, that in essence represent the story of Moses, full of fantasy and fabulous exploits which are better taken as myth than history.
