I think it was bought up by the Catholic Church.

And they stopped production of it.

And then he released a new book called The Dead Sea Scrolls and the Christian Myth.

And that one was available.

But then since then, they've republished... Both of them?

Yeah, both of them.

But the big one was The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross because that was the one that was kind of very difficult to get.

And I have a couple copies of it, but they're original copies that I had to buy online.

Okay, okay.

It's a fascinating book because he translates or he...

He breaks down the word Christ to an ancient Sumerian word, which was a mushroom covered in God's semen.

And this is what he's saying, is that they thought that when it rained...

that this was God, his semen on the earth, which has caused all life to rise from.

We all need water.

And then plants, of course, need water.

And then after rainfall, they would find these mushrooms, because mushrooms grow incredibly quickly.

And they would consume these mushrooms and have these religious experiences.

And this was a hugely controversial book, of course.

To really be able to know if he's right or wrong, you would have to have a deep understanding of ancient languages and the Bible and so many different things.

Well, it's all a mystery, right?
