Nimrod was murdered and his body cut and spread across the land....
"Semiramis, who was wife as well as mother to Nimrod, for, she had married her son, took command of the religion and proclaimed Nimrod a god. She collected all of Nimrod's body parts except for his penis, which she could not find, and created the symbol of the obelisk and established phallus worship. This mother-wife also claimed that an evergreen tree sprang forth from a dead tree stump, which symbolised springing forth into new life of the dead Nimrod. Semiramis further claimed that every year on the anniversary of Nimrod's birth, said to be on December 25th, he would visit the evergreen tree and leave gifts upon it. This tradition is the real origin of the Christmas tree. Semiramis was an adroit schemer who manuvered herself into prominence in the religion founded by Nimrod. Through her scheming she became the Babylonian "Queen of Heaven" whilst Nimrod, under various names, became the "divine son of heaven." Nimrod was later refashioned as a messiah figure, son of Baal the Sun-god, thereby creating the archetypal motifs: the World Redeemer and the "Mother and Child.""

Where this is also written:
"Thus, Semiramis and Nimrod
reborn became chief objects of worship within the cults of the ancient world. The worship of the "mother and child" spread throughout the ancient world appearing in different cultures in different names. In Egypt, the pair was called
Isis and
Horus, in Asia Minor, they were Cybele
and
Attis, in Rome, they were Fortuna
and
Jupiterpuer. The figure of Nimrod
as the dying and resurrecting man-god is at the heart of the Ancient Mysteries but under different names. In Egypt, he was
Osiris, in Greece
Dionysus, in Asia Minor, Attis, in Syria, Adonis, in Persia,
Mithras, in Rome, Bacchus. It is also the motif of the Messiah Tradition in
Judaism and Christianity. Hence, throughout the ancient world the idea of the World Saviour, the incarnation of a god into the body of a man, was a perennial theme. The "mother and child" motif also appears in other religious systems throughout the world. In the seventeenth century, for instance, Jesuit missionaries to Tibet, China, and Japan were astonished to find the counterpart of Madonna and her Child was devoutly worshipped in the lands as in papal Rome itself.

I see there are comments on this article. At this time I do not have more information as to the author of this article. As well, I will do research into other stories of Nimrod and Semiramis. IN many of the old stories, there are conflicting versions. Thank you for your inquiries and comments.
