I have done extensive study of Sufism, Buddhism, Jainism, Christianity, Hindusim as well as as many African belief systems and so on. It would be nice to discuss some of them here if possible. I stayed roughly 3 years at Dharamsala to learn different aspects of buddhism and 5 years at Rishikesh in search of sadhoos and mahatmas hiding in Rishikesh caves. I did meet many old hindu yogis there and gained much sought after knowledge from them, which is totally impossible to gain by just reading books. I have read about Mazdayasna as well as Bah'a'i faith. Having said all this, I have to admit I did all this roughly 14 years ago when I was in my late teens and mid twenties before I married and settled down. It would be nice to discuss them to refresh my memory! Oh, by the way, I also stayed 19 months at the holy city of Amritsar and 4 months at Abchal Nagar Sachkhand hazoor Sahib for further learning. Thanks to my parents for funding most of my visits and stays in India. It wasn't unusual for me to run out of funding from time to time.

You are very lucky to be Amtitsar for so long

That feeling when you study world mythology and religions, and begin to see correlations and similarities between supposedly unique and separate personalities .  Then you begin to wonder if they weren't all one common group that we're adopted and adapted by whichever race and culture decided to propagate their "history."  

So true

Only issue I have most go back to the three Faith's, the trinity Jews, muslims, christianity,  they don't go back further , for instance the pope wears a fish shaped head dress that's from from Dagon

Judaism definitely goes way back. There's even a proper term for their religious mentality: Talmudic-Pharisaic (Talmud being the holy scripture of the Jews, and the 'Pharisaic' referring to the Jewish tribes who resided in ancient Egypt, and the gods, practices, and other mystical knowledge they obtained residing in that part of the world for as long as they did).  It began in the Synagogue and eventually ended up in the Vatican, lol.

Then there's the key civilisations of the Sumerians and the Babylonians, which is where what we know to be "the Jews" worshipped the ancient gods / entities of Moloch, etc., all forces that for some reason required blood sacrifices and massacres in order to be satiated. The subsequent Judeo-Christian white-washing is a sham in order to convey a respectable front to a very questionable history.

This seems to be common about the Abrahamics. They have a habit of white washing their dubious pasts.

The Fish shape is related to Pisces. 

Before that the Jews used a ram's horn for call to prayer. This is related to Aries.

The next age is related to "age of aquarius ".

These are related to the zodiac. All pagan and astrological stuff.

You are so lucky to be able to spend so much time at such special places (Hazoor Sahib, Amritsar) with funding!

Like you, I too did my research when I was much younger, teens and beyond. I know that if I did it again, I'd pick up a lot more than I did when I first did it. But that being aid, Sikhi is a limitless khazana and just studying it (especially if you include Dasam Granth) seems sufficient to me. I notice that it isn't mind narrowing like some other abrahamics. It has the opposite effect on so many dimensions.

I did a lot of research into Buddhism and did like a lot of what I read, I even applied some of it to my own life to positive effect.

However I didn't like the monk and nun aspect of it. They believe that only the monks and nuns can receive enlightenment in this life. If everyone became a monk or nun the whole world would simply stop working.
