  • Reply to: Researchers discover secret recipe of Roman concrete that allowed it to endure for over 2,000 years   8 years 1 month ago
    Comment Author: EricTheRed

    Um... I realize this post is a couple of years old, but thought it prudent to mention: the article stated that modern concrete lasts about 120 years. Your "friend" claims that the cement used in the SF bridge would last a century. But you seem puzzled...?

    A century = 1oo years, so if the article claims roughly 120 years, it would seem to be within the margin of error and corroborate your friend's claim.

    So... again, why are you puzzled?

    The problem with relying on the Ipuwer papyrus is that almost the entirety of it is contradictory to the account. Christians desperate for verification of the Old Testament stories have cherry picked the Ipuwer papyrus. One example of ignoring the entirety of the document is that it says that 'Asiatics' are arriving, not leaving Egypt.

    Hello Lilly,

    The ancient Egyptian word seba (acutally sba, since they did not write vowels) means 'star,' as in a star up in the sky. The hieroglyph for sba is reproduced in the article above as the five pointed star. There are no alternative meanings for sba that would allow it to mean 'wealth' or 'vow.'

    Yours, in service,

    Jason

    Jack quoted this

    “For starters, the book is forbidden from God, and the religion is a cult.”

    I have just re-read this and I think what you are trying to say is that the reference I used should not be considered from your view because it isn’t in the bible.

    This suggest that no words including your references and written text should be considered from your belief as they do not appear in the bible. Is this what this comment means, could you please confirm?

    This article provides no sources and is meant to be taken on faith? What a bad joke. Like the unholy babble, most of it was probably simply invented - and it has wasted the precious time of many readers, by the look of it. A great pity it was allowed oxygen here.

    The inane prejudices of many readers are blatant and irrelevant. There's no conspiracy to hide the truth here, and what on Earth does the story have to do with Jews? The gold was stolen by rotten rich local thieves and the theft was covered up by the government, who took kickbacks. A great pity, as there seems no way to tell if any of the plates were ever genuine; some of the missing pieces appear to display far better workmanship than anything left lying around there today.

    First read the given data about jesuits how they infiltrate ALL sectors of Societies and religions and drag everywhere the power and values away from the Poor People who sadly enough are cheated into helping them..exact like this crespi story...exact like our political system and politicians.

    Same change you have a jesuit is your banker politican doctor scientist schooldirector even woman or husband etc. This is not about normal people but usualy raised and programmed criminals and terrorists rolling out a program a commandment.

    The addition of the jesuit data gives the crespi story a more true value about how good he not was but missionaris always were used to infiltrate and spy out Civilisations...trojans.

    So Jack says that the following millions of people will spend "eternity in Hell" Jack this is your interpretation and this is a very negative and destructive personal interpretation Jack. This is a very aggressive and sad belief you have Jack and I think you are alone with this one. 

    Jack's quoted Interpretation of biblical text;-

    God warned us in Revelation 22:19 that any who add or take anthing from His Word will spend eternity in Hell. So Islam, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and Mormon all ignore that warning at their own peril. All those cults were started hundreds of years and more after God’s Book had been completed.

    Jack do you think Mr Christ knew what he was talking about when he refers to his spiritual Mother and Father. Do you think you know exactly what he understood.

    Quotes

    Amongst the Eastern Church communities there is none more clear about the feminine aspect of the Holy Spirit as the corpus of the Coptic-Gnostic's. One such document records that Jesus says, "Even so did my mother, the Holy Spirit, take me by one of my hairs and carry me away to the great mountain Tabor [in Galilee]."

    The 3rd century scroll of mystical Coptic Christianity, The Acts of Thomas, gives a graphic account of the Apostle Thomas' travels to India, and contains prayers invoking the Holy Spirit as "the Mother of all creation" and "compassionate mother," among other titles.  The most profound Coptic Christian writings definitely link the "spirit of Spirit" manifested by Christ to all believers as the "Spirit of the Divine Mother." Most significant are the new manuscript discoveries of recent decades which have demonstrated that more early Christians than previously thought regarded the Holy Spirit as the Mother of Jesus.

    One text is the Gospel of Thomas which is part of the newly discovered Nag Hammadi texts (discovered 1945-1947).  Most are composed about the same time as the Biblical gospels in the 1st and 2nd century AD.  In this gospel, Jesus declares that his disciples must hate their earthly parents (as in Luke 14:26) but love the Father and Mother as he does, "for my mother (gave me falsehood), but (my) true Mother gave me life."  In another Nag Hammadi discovery, The Secret Book of James, Jesus refers to himself as "the son of the Holy Spirit."  These two sayings do not identify the Holy Spirit as the mothering vehicle of Jesus, but more than one scholar has interpreted them to mean that the maternal Holy Spirit is intended.

    That's all very interesting, and I tend to agree that Jesuits often have a sinister aspect to them. (I also have been disturbed at how they seem to appear in the most unlikely places...like helping to collect the bones of Eve, or in charge of digging out the Hypogeum)

    But dude. Crespi was a Salesian monk. Not a Jesuit.

    @White Eagle:

    Pompeii is an excellent example. Those ruts were made in mud. The mud became the "flagstone paving stones" we see now after being baked beneath many meters of hot volcanic ejecta. Notice the pattern of the "paving stones" is the same pattern seen on mud that has dried and cracked.

    Another clue that the roads were mud are the series of raised stones that can be seen in some places. Those are "stepping stones", they allowed people to cross the road without having to slog through mud a foot deep.

  • Reply to: Enigma of the Heartless Pharaoh: Who Stole the Heart of King Tut, and Why?   8 years 1 month ago
    Comment Author: Andrew B Brown

    Without going through all the details:

    Impersonators (or genetic half-breeds of illegitimate) wanted the throne. Tut may have been a "dumbed-down" half-breed himself, but was born in political awareness. Was Tut related to Isis/Osiris? Probably significantly, or possibly it may have been an attempt at restoring a previously stolen throne. Experts would need to consider.

    So, the impersonators destroyed genetic evidence would prevent Royal comparisons (or resurrection).

    This explains why the tomb was not found for many years, because the evidence had been destroyed by the Royal impersonators' throne-theft who saw no need for the "treasure".

    This also supports my theory that Carter et. al. were killed, because some evidence may have been discovered in this era.

    When were Isis/Osiris promoted to Gods? It would likely only have been after the Royal impersonation had been well established.

    The heart was taken by the impersonators for their "magic".

    Actually 'Bathsheba' means 'House of Sheba'.

    Jack here is your quote and what you have done by changing these words is exactly what the quote is about. I am not sure if you have grasped the basic cosmological understanding of the bible. You have referred to God as "His" in your quote but God does not have a gender. Are you referring to the Father who art in Heaven. 
    Jack's quote changed and personalised.
    God warned us in Revelation 22:19 that any who add or take anthing from His Word will spend eternity in Hell. So Islam, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and Mormon all ignore that warning at their own peril. All those cults were started hundreds of years and more after God’s Book had been completed. 

    19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
    And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll.

    And if anyone removes any of the words from this book of prophecy, God will remove that person's share in the tree of life and in the holy city that are described in this book.

    and if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book.

    May every one who hears or reads these words, desire at once to accept the gracious invitation. All are condemned who should dare to corrupt or change the word of God, either by adding to it, or taking from it.
     

  • Reply to: Drinking in the Past: Centuries Old Evidence for Consumption of Corn Beer Found in Mexico   8 years 1 month ago
    Comment Author: tmobley1

    I think this is a very cool find. I understand that there is not alot of evidence of corn growing by these people. I do have a question, Did they trade to get the corn to make corn mash? I think that there was corn growing widespread because of this quote from Virginia.org, “When the English settlers arrived in 1607, corn was a key food crop of the Native Americans in Virginia. The English colonists plannned to trade for food (as did the Spanish in Florida). From the beginning, the colonists were planning to eat corn grown by the Native Americans in Virginia.” http://www.virginiaplaces.org/agriculture/corn.html

    I think it is really cool that around the world people that lived neolitic and peleolithic modes of society all knew and utilized fermentation. I wonder if it was a way to cleanse water without boiling it. I wonder who was the first society mode to distill, was it the agricultural based society?

    How about going all the way back to the Great Pyramid? The base (230.4 M) to height (146.5 M) ratio in that case.
