    Very interestin Aliya. Perhaps you could supply AO with information to do an article on the ancient Bulgarian history. Considering the close proximity of the Bosnian pyramid to Bulgaria, it speaks volumes of the high civilization which once inhabited that area, long before the divisions of ‘countries’.

    One instance of wax found inside of one of so many mean very little in terms of relevance. It is a curiosity, but not a determining factor as it would be if many or most were found with wax. This could simply be due to an adjacent candle melting into one.

    Edit: "God had already promised to make of Abraham a great nation" in last the paragraph should have been in parentheses to be more easily understood.

    Did you not read in the article that they are speaking of Nabatean Arabic? What in the world does Trump have to do with this? It's a shame Islam is disagreeable to education, especially towards it's females.("Love for the poorly educated" !!!!!) You proved nothing wrong in the article, you merely added to it.
    Advent simply means, the coming or arrival of something or someone that is important or worthy of note: such as the advent of the computer, you seem to have misunderstood it to mean the religious meaning of the word.
    Ishmael was born under slavery to Hagar an Egyptian and slave (handmaid) of Sarah, Abraham's wife, and are still under spiritual slavery today but it was through Isaac birthed by Sarah his wife, not concubine or slave (not under slavery but freedom) the the promises would be fulfilled. (we are freed from the law of sin and death)
    You intimate the Jews do not count Abraham as their father, that simply is not true. The Muslims seem to want to claim an exclusivity to Abraham but Moses wrote quit clearly, as God was quite clear to Moses that the promise would come through Isaac born of his wife. Yet he said that God would make of Ishmael a great nation as well God had already promised to make of Abraham a great nation because God saw the grief of Hagar, Sarah's slave (handmaid) When Ishmael was born their names were Abram and Sari, before the birth of Isaac God changed their names to Abraham and Sarah.

    I use AO Members Chat feature for private conversations and for security.  I am recently widowed and reluctant to give out my personal email address.  The Members Only chat feature allows me to get to know members a bit better first, without conversations being ‘public’.  I check in each day there at 12:00 pm Central Standard Time for the USA :-)  I am excited to hear your news!

    First of all i want to thank you very much, i received the book that i ordered with the redeeming points.

    The problem that i want to report is that after i ordered the book, i still can see my whole amount of points (254) and i should have 220 points less (34), because that was the value of the gift i ordered.

    Thanks

  • Reply to: Eight More Statues of the Ancient Egyptian Goddess Sekhmet Found in Luxor   8 years 1 month ago
    Comment Author: Native

    Quote:
    “In ancient Egypt, Sekhmet was a solar deity and a warrior goddess who was very popular, especially during the New Kingdom Period. She was also a goddess of healing for Upper Egypt”.

    Goddess Sekhmet is NOT a solar deity – and neither is Ra. They both belongs to the Story of Creation which is directly connected to the Milky Way Mythology.

    The very same is the case with the Egyptian goddess Hathor – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hathor#Relationships.2C_associations.2C_images.2C_and_symbols

    “Hathor, along with the goddess Nut, was associated with the Milky Way during the third millennium B.C”

    When having no knowledge of the Milky Way Mythology, scholars confuses the central Milky Way Light as the Sun and ascribes the Milky Way deities to the Sun and to the “Solar Disc” instead of to the Milky Way Disc.

    5 feet 11 inches are not 228,60 cm. And 160 cm are NOT gigantic- rather SMALL, even today! So either the size in feet /inches is wrong or the size in cm. Please correct these important details. Thank you.

  • Reply to: Decoding the mysterious ancient Indus Valley script will shed light on powerful ancient civilization   8 years 1 month ago
    Comment Author: donald fernandes

    Historically, all events must follow an order. Large scale human disasters tend to scatter people. Sometime around c.4000 BC(a new date is 6000 BC), A large scale disaster happened in the region of the Indus valley, and the people fled(or migrated). The book of Genesis describes the arrival of the "black headed" people from the east to Mesopotamia, who brought the art of brick making, town planning, metallurgy, writing and recording, public health concepts, and who built the Ziggurats. They were also masters in surveying, mathematics, and literature. They were also known as the "watchers". Watching for whom? No doubt- their enemies. A section of people from the Indus valley would have sailed southwards. Some would have landed in Srilanka and the rest would have continued their long voyage to Indonesia, Australia and finally to the Easter Islands. They preserved their script and handed it down to their descendants. When this race died away, the new settlers took upon themselves to guard the manuscripts, because it contained knowledge. However, the secret of reading the script was lost, and today we have no clue as to what are the contents of the Rongorongo script. Some workers believe that the Egyptian and Cretan civilisation could be ascribed to the unknown migrants. Perhaps in the near future, someone will discover the secret of the script. Until then we may have to wait.

    Just a correction: the public latrine in Ostia is not from the second century, but from the fourth century.

    There must have been something very special and very powerful in the most Ancient human spirituality which has always made it a subject of constant attempts to suppress it, hide it, appropriate it in secret societies, condemn it.
    Truth is that people were special and powerful in spirit in the prehistoric times of humanity dawn. Therefore their spirituality was also very powerful. Ancient Bulgarian language traces all the human spirituality history back to its roots. Ancient Bulgarians were the first human beings the giant enlightened sages who lived in full unity with God Existence. Their priests called Zhretsi used to wear horns and masks of animals, wings of birds, etc. while performing their spiritual rituals in honor of Godess Allmather of Creation. They called this Godess Ba from where the Bulgarian word Ban arose. Ban means Godly. Later on Ban became a major deity in Roman empire, created by Ancient Bulgarians. Ancient Bulgarians called Ban all Godly priests who performed the spiritual rituals. They called them also Volkish which means Like Wolves, because they used to wear wolves masks as well. With the spreading of Ancient Bulgarians around the globe priests themselves started being perceived as Gods which gave birth to Ancient Hellenistic, Egyptian, Roman, Indian, American Indian gods. Main part of them have all Bulgarian naming. Swastika is the sign of God Sun the Son of Godess Ba Allmather. The original Sanscrit name of Swastika is SuAz-tika whereas Su Az is a Bulgarian naming meaning With the Soul. Swastka was a symbol one had always to have with himself and and that is the meaning of SuAz-tika - with the soul. Sanscrit is Ancient Bulgarian language written down with a different alphabet. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=699894580130168&set=a.313566...

    The extent of historical misinformation in this article qualifies it to be a Trump's speech who loves the "poorly educated" !!!!!
    Christianity and Judaism were present in Arabia long before Islam was "revealed" (not "advent" as intentionally erroneous as mentioned in the article )...... There was a huge Jewish community in Yathrib or Medina (the city where Prophet Muhammad moved to after leaving Mecca and the site of the first Islamic community and state). This community lived in peace with the Islamic community till they allied with the infidels of Mecca and betrayed the Muslims in the battle of the Trench (Ghazwah al-Khandaq) when they allowed some infidel troops to pass through their territories which were excluded from the trench and stab the Muslims in the back !!!!! They were then deported from Medina in a series of battles !
    There were a Christian state, a satellite of the Christian kingdom of Abyssinia in Yemen. In the year Prophet Muhammad was born, Abraha , the Abyssinian, the assigned ruler of the Christian state of Yemen (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraha) built a church in Yemen and invaded Mecca to destroy the Kaaba and convert the Arabian infidels to Christianity !!!!! He tried to use a huge elephant to crumble the Kaaba ...... The campaign was disastrous and the army of Abraha vanished in the perimeter of the Kaaba though he met no resistance on the way there and the people of Mecca fled and left their sacred place totally defenseless !!!!!
    Neither Quran, Muhammad or Muslims deny the presence of Judaism or Christianity in Arabia before Islam. Christianity was present in Iraq (Lakhmids) (a satellite under the Persian rule , like East Germany during the cold war era!)(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lakhmids) and the Ghassanids in Shaam (adjacent areas of northern Arabia, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghassanids) (They were satellite state of the Roman Empire like West Germany during the cold war) ...... Both states (Lakkmids and Ghassanids were Christians but with different doctrines (Lakhmids were mostly Orthodox while Ghassanids were mostly Catholic) as a sequel of the rivality between the two dominant superpowers of the pre-Islamic era (Persians and Romans). But both were Arabs. In addition, it is mentioned in the books which narrate the life, acts and teachings of Muhammad (Sera) that when the Kaaba was rebuilt during the life of Muhammad, it was built by a Christian mason. One of the earliest followers of Muhammad (Suhayb , the Roman or Suhayb ar-Rumi) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suhayb_ar-Rumi) was a Roman Christian living in Mecca !!!!
    About Arabic Writing, Arabic as as old as Hebrew as Arabs belong the the first son of Abraham (Ishmail) as Jews refer to Isaac as their father. The Arabs used to write the best Arabic poems in Gold and hang them on the walls of the most revered place (Kaaba) in what is called as the Mu'allaqat or (Hanging Poems)(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mu'allaqat). Their number is controversial but mostly they were 10 Mu'allaqat . These poems are still preserved till today (not the writings) and are considered as the gems of Arabic poetry ! This tradition was present hundreds of years before Muhammad or the revelation (no advent) of Islam !!!! So, Arabic writings were extremely older than what you are "Trumping" in this article !!!!
    "Love for the poorly educated" !!!!!

    Hi Warren, if you will view the link I provided to J. Golden Barton’s presentation to the Mormon group, he discusses an artifact from Crespi’s original collection with Egyptian hieroglyphics which they had translated and dated to 148 bc by Harvard faculty in the early 90’s.  I don’t have the image of it in my files but it’s available from different sites online, if you think your connection has an interest in tackling it.  If someone had a connection with the Mormons they may have the original translation in their archives still. I tried to join their group to see if I could find out, but since I am not on their rolls never heard back from them.

    I have also been working on a couple of others which I have downloaded copies of from the ‘original collection’ prior to Crespi’s death..  One appears to be a Phoenician ‘daughter’ script, but with elements matching Etruscan and Paleo-Hispanic mixed in. The others (gold grid tablets) have me baffled at the moment.  But I was able to match around 15 of the symbols on one I’ve been studying to the Qeiyafa Ostracon... that still leaves a lot ‘unidentified’.  But some of the symbols are still being used today in modern Tifinagh.  I’m leaning toward a Carthage connection, but a lot more work is needed….it would be great if you could help :-)

    Only beginning to learn??? I knew about this over 50 years ago when I was a kid. Seems strange they cannot create a new one out of 2 gourds, some membrane and string. I doubt it would work very well with 75 feet of line though.

    Hi Walter...what motivated you to visit and view Father Crespi’s collection?  Do any of your photographs contain artifacts which had inscriptions or ancient writing on them?  I would be very interested in those.  Also, did you happen to see an artifact of Egyptian origin with hieroglyphics?  The link I gave above to the Mormon’s presentation stated that they had a man from Harvard University get it translated and it was dated to 148 bc.  I would have an interest in reading the complete translation and validating this :-)
