I don't know about all that but I recall one guest on Coast to Coast saying that the ceremony she performed was a common " crowning " ceremony in that part of the world at that time. I have been looking for some scholarly confirmation of this but it makes sense. The word " Christ " meaning " anointed one " or " king " has been twisted into something it was never meant to imply, imo. at that time virgin meant un-married. (later she and christ married and they raised kundalini through sacred s£x..) Actually there are two words in the Bible that are translated " virgin " . The word in Isaiah's prophecy that is commonly used to justify belief in a Divine Virgin Birth is " almah " (a girl who has reached puberty but is still under the shielding protection of her family; she is a young, marriageable (i.e. unmarried) girl.). There was a word available to Isaiah - " parthenos " which actually does mean " virgin " in the manner in which we understand it. The concept of a virgin birth is a pagan idea with a long and colorful history which pre-dates Christianity practically to the dawn of recorded history. Like so much Biblical history you need to keep peeling off the layers and take everything with a grain of salt since it all suffers though 2,000 years of (deliberate imo) mistranslation.
