The Beatles, Ancient Egypt, Crowley and 'Paul is Dead.' (Matt Sergiou chats with Andrew Arnett).

From 2022:

This is a 'YouTube' presentation about occult aspects of The Beatles (whether alleged or not, confirmed or not) for your ears and eyes.

Hosted by me (Matt Sergiou, the proprietor of the site 'The Occult Beatles'), it’s presented in the form of a conversation that I recorded in January 2022 between myself and Andrew Arnett, a researcher, writer, musician and lifelong Beatles fan. He first came to my attention last year when I stumbled across an article he’d published in 2019 as well as a couple of radio-show guest-spots in which he shared his rather - I think - unique perspective on P.i.D. (or in other words, ‘Paul is Dead’ of course), linking it to Aleister Crowley and the symbology and rites of ancient Egypt. The Egyptian element is an avenue I’ve explored myself with regards to the band and, in particular, a couple of its members, in previous posts either at The Occult Beatles or at my partner sites ‘Conspiro Media’ and here at ‘ConspiroTV.’ If you choose to take a look and a listen to my conversation with Andrew, you’ll in fact hear the two of us ‘swapping notes’ as it were, or in other words, sharing information that the two of us have discovered independently of each other with regards to The Beatles and their links (whether alleged/confirmed or not) to not only ancient Egypt but also Crowley and P.i.D.

During my lengthy chat with Andrew, you can hear him put forward an idea that connects ‘Paul is Dead’ to initiations and beliefs of ancient Egypt including solar worship and symbolism and also, in particular, to birth, dying and rebirth and through this, in our conversation, he regularly refers back to Osiris, who in Egyptian mythology, is God of death, and who was killed but was brought back to life. You’ll also hear a lot of mention during our discussion to the scarab beetle, it was a highly revered insect all those thousands of years ago because, Andrew explains, it lays the eggs of its young inside dung that it has rolled into a ball, and so, from apparently dead waste-matter new life is brought forth… Regeneration.

Did the Beatles name themselves - whether consciously or not - ‘The Beatles’ after the beetle as according to and/or in homage to - in honour of - ancient Egyptian beliefs? It’s a question and an avenue I’ve explored before as you may know if you've been a visitor to my sites, and it’s talked about during my conversation with Andrew.
