Located in Rosicrucian Park at Park and Naglee Avenues (entrance on Park Avenue), the Planetarium shows are being presented Tuesday through Sunday at 2 pm (closed Mondays) with additional shows on Saturday and Sunday at 3:30 pm. Admission is complimentary. Tickets may be picked up at the admissions desk of the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum. About the show "The Mithraic Mysteries" Of the many riddles left to us by antiquity, none is more intriguing than that of the ancient Roman religion known as the Mithraic mysteries. The teachings of this ancient Roman "mystery religion" of Mithraism were guarded with the utmost secrecy, revealed only to select initiates. While the Mithraists never wrote down their secret doctrines, they did leave a key to them in the arcane iconography, which filled the walls of their underground temples. Until now, all attempts to decipher this iconography have proven fruitless. Most experts have been content with a vague hypothesis that these images somehow derived from ancient Iranian religion. In a groundbreaking work, Dr. David Ulansey has recently offered a radically different theory. He argues that Mithraic iconography was actually an astronomical code, and that the cult began as a religious response to a startling scientific discovery. We present his theory of the mysteries concealed in Mithraic temple carvings that could reveal the central secret of the cult: a secret consisting of an ancient vision of the ultimate nature of the universe.
