The slides are my own work and the text is from Encyclopedias, Dictiopnaries, etc. Vital to understanding the history IMO, and if I make a historical claim without showing evidence that is just silly. And I know most wont read it, it is for who it is for...
Here's my opinion on the event, though my own thoughts of coarse..

about 8am Friday morning the Pharisees and the crowd wanted him crucified, after that while leading him out the temple the soldiers grabbed Simon who was just passing through the city and made him carry the cross but upon reaching the city walls he fell down Jesus said its ok I got it from here and proceeded up the hill to the skull mount.

15:25 It was the third hour when they crucified him.

Jh19:17 Carrying his own cross, he went out to the place of the Skull (which in Aramaic is called Golgotha).
Jh19:18 Here they crucified him, and with him two others—one on each side and Jesus in the middle.
Jh19:23 When the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took his clothes, dividing them into four shares, one for each of them, with the undergarment remaining. This garment was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom.
Jh19:24 "Let's not tear it," they said to one another. "Let's decide by lot who will get it." This happened that the scripture might be fulfilled which said, "They divided my garments among them and cast lots for my clothing, So this is what the soldiers did.
Jh19:25 Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.
Jh19:26 When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, "Dear woman, here is your son,"
Jh19:27 and to the disciple, "Here is your mother." From that time on, this disciple took her into his home.

Jh19:14 It was the day of Preparation of Passover Week, about the sixth hour. "Here is your king," Pilate said to the Jews.

Jh19:19 Pilate had a notice prepared and fastened to the cross. It read: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Jh19:20 Many of the Jews read this sign, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and the sign was written in Aramaic, Latin and Greek.
Jh19:21 The chief priests of the Jews protested to Pilate, "Do not write `The King of the Jews,' but that this man claimed to be king of the Jews."
Jh19:22 Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written."

Your welcome, side note, you may already know of the HRV Hebraic Roots Version, it's a good read for sure. :) here's the same verses

1 chron 11-13

11 Yours, O YHWH, is the greatness and the power, and the glory and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is Yours. Yours is the kingdom, O YHWH, and You are exalted as head above all!
12 Both riches and honor come of You, and You rule over all. And in Your hand is power and might, and in Your hand it is, to make great, and to give strength unto all. 13 Now therefore, our Elohim, we thank You, and praise Your glorious Name.

Yeremyah 7:18-20, “How the children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, while the women knead dough to make cakes for the Queen of Heaven, and how they pour out drink offerings to the hinder gods (elohim), so they may provoke Me to anger? Is it I Whom they provoke to anger? says Yahweh: Or is it not themselves, whom they harm to their own shame? Therefore this is what Yahweh says: Behold, My anger and My fury will be poured out on this place--on man and on beast, on the trees of the field and on the fruit of the ground--and it will burn and not be quenched.”


Eerdmans Dictionary of the Bible:


Queen of Heaven: A goddess worshipped first in Judah in the late 7th century and then by Judahites who fled to Egypt after the Babylonian destruction of 586 b.c.e. (Jer. 7:16–20; 44:15–28). Jeremiah’s remarks associate the goddess with fertility and somewhat with war; she also, as her title indicates, has astral characteristics. The Canaanite goddess who best fits this description is Astarte, who is associated with both fertility and war and who has astral features. Phoenician inscriptions also ascribe to Astarte the title “Queen.” Astarte’s Mesopotamian counterpart, Ishtar, whose female devotees ritually weep in imitation of the goddess’ lamentations over her dead lover, Tammuz (Ezek.8:14).
Acts 19:26 Now you see and hear that, not only at Ephesus, but over almost all Asia, this Shaul has convinced people to believe his teaching, and turned away many people, saying that gods (elohim, teraphim) that are made with hands are not powerful at all. 27 So there is danger not only of this trade of ours falling into disrepute, but also the temple of the great goddess (elohim) Artemis becoming despised and her magnificence destroyed; whom all Asia and the world worships. 28 And when they heard this, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying; Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!"


Collier’s Encyclopedia, Volume 3, page 97
ASTARTE [æsta’rti], the Phoenician goddess of fertility and erotic love. The Greek name, ‘‘Astarte’’ was derived from Semitic, ‘‘Ishtar,’’ ‘‘Ashtoreth.’’ Astarte was regarded in Classical antiquity as a moon goddess, perhaps in confusion with some other Semitic deity. In accordance with the literary traditions of the Greco-Romans, Astarte was identified with Selene and Artemis, and more often with Aphrodite. Among the Canaanites, Astarte, like her peer Anath, performed a major function as goddess of fertility. Egyptian iconography, however, portrayed Astarte in her role as a warlike goddess massacring mankind, young and old. She is represented on plaques (dated 1700-1100 b.c.) as naked, in striking contrast to the modestly garbed Egyptian goddesses. Edward J. Jurji

From The Two Babylons, by Hislop on page 109
From Egypt these sacred eggs can be distinctly traced to the banks of the Euphrates. The classic poets are full of the fable of the mystic egg of the Babylonians; and thus its tale is told by Hyginus, the Egyptian, the learned keeper of the Palatine library at Rome, in the time of Augustus, who was skilled in all the wisdom of his native country: ‘‘An egg of wondrous size is said to have fallen from heaven into the river Euphrates. The fishes rolled it to the bank, where the doves having settled upon it, hatched it, and out came Venus, who afterwards was called the Syrian Goddess’’*—that is, Astarte. Hence the egg became one of the symbols of Astarte or Easter; and accordingly, in Cyprus, one of the chosen seats of the worship of Venus, or Astarte, the egg of wondrous size was represented on a grand scale. (See Fig. 32) § The Roman Catholic Church now has their own Official Representation of Ishtar—the Virgin Mother, who stands upon the top of this Sacred Egg of Heliopolis, with the Serpent Typhon at her feet.
