  • Reply to: Goddess Ninkharsag—Ancient Powerful Mother who Faded into The Holy Ghost   8 years 1 month ago
    Comment Author: Barry Sears

    It is my understanding that the Holy Spirit is the biblical defined title for the Mother Earth. All references usually refer to the terrestrial configuration and cosmological structure known by most cultures as an Earth Mother. This is combined with the Celestial Father figure. It is a contrast to the Egyptian genders but the recognition of the Earth figure is clearly defined by Mr Christ. At the time of Mr Christ the Zodiac detailed the Celestial figure divided into twelve anatomical parts from the head to the feet. These connected to the Earth zodiacs, which were observations of the World anatomy and changing characteristics of our animals, expressing the zones on Earth from the head to the tail. The Earth zodiacs rotate opposite to the Celestial zodiacs and are usually filled by animals and their anatomical variations. Mr Christ confirmed the Earth formation and defined the region of Israel as the zone of the womb, Virgo, the Virgin Mary. This is obviously next to Egypt which is the zone of the lungs of Leo the sphinx. All regions of the World consist of great monuments and stories related to the individual parts of the World anatomy. This on a cosmological level is referred to in the bible as the Holy Spirit.

    Bless his heart, his remains have been used as a plaything. As far as DNA, they could look for a direct male line descendant. I don't know if one exists, but that would be the best bet for verification. Personally, I'd want to check several who were from different lines to allow for paternity discrepancies.

    Since posting this comment just over a month ago, an idea has occurred to me that would explain the peculiar manner in which Silbury Hill evolved.

    I have been in touch with the owners of this site, proposing that the idea in question be announced here, where it’s likely to attract far more attention than if published on my dormant Silbury blogsite.
    But there’s a snag: even if the site were to agree to publish my article, that could take time, with the risk that I could lose publishing priority (“publish or perish” as they say).
    While the idea is simple in principle, absurdly so, it could have important implications for the way in which one judges the level of technological development in late Neolithic society (circa 2500BC).
    So, to establish priority (“you read it here first”) here’s my idea in telegraphic form.
    Silbury Hill began as a gravel mound, with the underlying turf and top soil removed down to subsoil, and the turves and topsoil then placed back on top of the gravel.

    I believe that was a device to create the beginnings of a compost heap, and that earthworms were deliberately introduced into what Leary and Field have described as the initial “organic mound”. The gravel heap with uninviting subsoil was a device to keep the earthworms captive within the mound, where they would then be given human mortal remains, namely selected internal organs and/or other soft tissue as primary input (while recognizing that earthworms are considered to obtain their major nutrition from the microorganisms – bacteria and fungi - that grow on the biodegrading organic detritus).

    Silbury Hill can be seen as the end result of a coalescence of scores, perhaps hundreds of individual small ‘compost heaps’ each containing a deposition from one deceased individual, each “seeded” with a handful of earthworms that would reduce the soft tissue offering via aerobic (NOT smelly anaerobic) processes to something resembling inoffensive-looking, inoffensive smelling black soil.

    Hopefully there will be an opportunity to back up the hypothesis at a future date with more information. In the meantime, I strongly recommend the book “The Story of Silbury Hill” by Jim Leary and David Field (English Heritage 2010) with its delightful artist’s impression of the early stages of construction provided by Judith Dobie (which can also be seen on the helpful display board at the visitor’s observation area).

    I would like you to tell that to those few that are left who suffered in death camps during WW2. Or those Jews who were forced to give up everything they had and flee for fear of death. Or to those who were experimented upon in some of the camps.
    There is too much information available to deny the nightmare that was the holocaust. I just hope we never have to repeat this bit of history because we didn't learn enough from it.

    John Julius Norwich, a retired civil servant of the UK, wrote a 3 volume history of "The Byzantine Empire". The information I used came from the 1st of the 3 volumes. I forget the title of that volume, but it can be found from what I wrote enough.
    I recommend reading the 3 volumes to all those interested in history.

    Constantine never pretended to be a Christian, however, he remained the high priest for the Roman Empire. Constantine did issue the Edict of Toleration which ended the persecution of Christians and allowed them free worship as they chose. The establishment of Christianity as the official religion of the Empire was still 80 years ago.

    Constantine did convert to Christianity on his death bed. As a Roman Emperor he knew he would need to do many un-Christian things in the course of his life, so by being baptized on his death bed, all his sins were wiped away and he knew he would not have time to commit any more sins. This became a practice followed by many.

    Constantine did arrange the Council of Nicaea out of which came the Nicene Creed. He did this because he tired of the Christiana bishops endless bickering. Was the Council convened, Constantine told the assembled bishops that they would remain there until they reached an agreement.

    By moving the Christian Sabbath to Sun day he got his peoples worshiping on the same day. The Christians did not object because they were just glad they could worship in peace. Besides, the Christians knew Constantine could take away everything he had given them.

    If paganism had been that powerful, the Christian Church would have taken over, rather than suppress it. That being said, this doesn't explain the persecution of pagans.

    The Western World was collapsing and the pagan beliefs no longer met their needs, hence the appeal of Christianity. The upper classes had the power, privilege, and wealth, the lower classes had the misery. Christianity at offered the masses a chance at a better afterlife, which paganism did not.

    There is no scientific or forensic evidence able to prove there really was a 'Jew Holocaust' WW2 or any other time in the history of human existence. So, why are little children taught, made to think, in school and church, that the "Jews Holocaust Story" is something that did happen, is real history, when it is clearly not anything but a lie?

  • Reply to: The Early Temples and Monuments of the Alban People in Ancient Azerbaijan   8 years 1 month ago
    Comment Author: Rouben Galichian

    Yes, not All the Albanian tribes converted to Islam. Some kept their Christian religion, they are the present day Udis, who lived in the villages of Nij (Nic) and Vardashen in the present-day Republic of Azerbaijan. However, they were and are prevented from practising their religion and many have left for Georgia. The monastery of Gandzasar, according to all old historians was the seat of the Catholicos of the Armenians and the bringer of Christianity to Albania, Grigoris, is buried in the village of Amaras, whose tombstone was broken to pieces by the Azerbaijani army.
    Back in 2004 a Norwegian charity allocated finds for the renovation of the Udi church in Nij, but some of the funds were used to obliterate the Armenian inscriptions in the church. Steiner Gil, the Norwegian Ambassador of the time in Azerbaijan protested against this barbaric act and no European Ambassador attended the opening of this church. See copy of the his letter and other facts in my book "The Invention of History" 2009/2010 available from my site on the web www.roubengalichian.com.
    So much for the tolerance and the ethnic Christians fate in Azerbaijan.

    I have heard that theory, yes. I’m not sure how far anyone has gone to proving it by matching arrangements of cups with known constellations – do you know if anyone has done this?

    Exactly – thank you! And a window into the past has an inherent value, regardless of how we then chose to interpret what we see.

    I’m very glad that you enjoyed the article! I suppose that depends on whether we have a collective consciousness: I don’t think so, but perhaps there are elements of the human brain which we all have in common which lead to certain sorts of behaviour, and stimulate certain responses to symbols, and the desire to produce symbols like this may perhaps fall into this category. It’s an interesting line of thought... .

    Koila, thank you for the information you provided. It once again sounds like your traditions, truths, beliefs where highjacked revamped Christianized for any number of reasons. Very classical Christian technique to move in and take over.
