This is an exciting article Joanna thank you for sharing this piece.
Growing up in S.F. California's Sister City I heard various stories at one time or another The Winchester House once was apart of Social Studies back in grade school.
There is this one story a fellow classmate who attended another before coming to the one I attended talked about a Field Trip they and their class were to take at the Winchester House they said when they themselves the fellow classmate that is that talked about the house.
They felt like something was seriously wrong and Dared Not Go into that particular House when we asked them what was so wrong with it the student said it Felt Evil somehow and they wanted no part of it meanwhile their Fellow Classmates and Teacher went ion to The House.
They swore that they would never set foot in that place. I was in second grade when I and my classmates talked to them.
I guess that's why I never had any particular interest in doing any kind of tour of the house.
This is worth examining thank you Ed for sharing this article.
The devil's antics?
Well Revelation chapter 12 does teach about Him making War on the Saints and Accusing The Brethren Day & Night.
I guess it's possible there are some Bible Book's that speak of Satan's & Devil's oddly a diversity between the two is intriguing it's almost like they're different tribes of Dissent and Discord.
I noticed your article Ed mentions some Stones and The Ancient One's? Is there perhaps a little more information about The Ancient One's in Belgium?
This is odd ever since the Pandemic Hit I've not been able to go out for Bible Study so I've been watching Bible Study Videos on Ytube. I've finished my last one yesterday hosted by a Pastor Chuck.
It was called Days of Noah The Nephilim. I was expecting Pastor Chuck to just touch on the Fallen Angel's and their Hybrid-Offspring which He did then He talked about UFOs, Alien encounters, Alien abductions and oddly The Language of Creation The Pascal Triangle.
I find it interesting that just yesterday; I watched this Bible Study Video, on "The Days of Noah", The Nephilim.
I read your article Igor and your discussion on that very subject knocked me for a loop. Another article today posted on Ancient Origins just today discussed being watch by Allen's.
As this was an Bible Study Pastor Chuck mentioned those Allen's that people have had encounters with willing or unwilling could be Demons.
I just wanted to tell you what I watched on Ytube and that what you're discussing here in the article is spoken about in that Video. Guess I have to go back and watch it again see what I missed.
It is funny/ironic that such a website would peddle the same fear-mongering tripe as the corporate mainstream media (evil and dangerous Trump-supporting far right conspiracy theorists, anti-semitism, blah blah blah) but I am disappointed that this website is not immune to such pettiness. Equally or more likely is the possibility that this vandalism came from new “immigrants” of a certain religious inclination who have been vandalising and attacking religious and historical monuments all over Europe for extemist/religious purposes. One week past a European man was beheaded in the streets for drawing Mohamed. But apparently we can’t talk about that because we do not want to hurt the feelings of the poor brown people or something xD...must be those crazy Turkish Trump supporters in Germany, right?? And honestly, what does anti-semitism have to do with any of this vandalism? This is moronic, the “writer” of this article should feel bad.
God destroyed sodom and Gomorrah for sexual immorality and homosexuality. You seem to be referring to the “Daughters of Cain/Sons of Seth theory. IMO that doesn’t hold any water as it doesn’t explain where the Nephilim/giants came from, why they were huge and powerful, why they were cannibals, had six fingers and six toes and why they had long elongated skulls w/ double rows of teeth. When God judged the earth and destroyed it with water, only 8 people survived, Noah, his wife, his three sons and their wives. Lot and his family came many many years later.
I don't doubt those nails were used for crucifixion; I just doubt those Nails were used on Jesus. The Romans conducted a lot of Crucifixion throughout Israel & Palestine, so that's why I can't see those Nails being the ones used on Christ.
There have been found bodies whose unfortunate souls died because of Crucifixion with Nails in their Hands or Wrist There's one such victim that was 5 foot 6 with evidence of nail marks in his Hand.
Perhaps The Romans nailed an individual in a certain way depending on both the height and strength of The Body.
Oddly this reminds me of The Reformer Martin Luther.
The main reason Luther nailed his 95 Thesis to the Church Door on All Saints Day was because the Church sold not only Indulgences but artifacts that were supposed to have come from Jesus either directly or indirectly.
A piece of Wood that came from the Cross of Jesus the Church sold items like Robes as in the clothes of Jesus that The Romans gambled over who gets what from the Dead Men on The Cross. Of course Nails that were used too Nail Jesus are St. Peter to the Cross upside Down.
Thank you for sharing article Ed very interesting so until next time around Goodbye!
Funny Ashley that you posted this article I've just finished watching a Bible Study video on Ytube by Pastor Chuck teaching about Days of Noah- The Nephilim it's over 3 Hours. What's so interesting about This Bible Study Video?
I was expecting a Study on The Fallen Angel's an Nephilims but not what this Pastor Chuck talked about UFO's and Alien encounters.
Since, this is a Bible Study Pastor Chucks conclusions is that those Aliens are in fact Demons ; don't take my word for it.
Pastor Chucks Study is on Genesis chapter 6:9 He was studying The Passage to the reference about The Sons of God saw the Daughters of Man they were beautiful and therefore came down an chose Wives for themselves (apparently) these Women didn't have a choice about it and the wives gave birth to yes The Nephilim.
Okay, somehow Pastor Chuck got into UFO's and Alien Encounters especially the testimonies regarding abductions and through the animated discussion the pastor mentioned those Aliens might be in fact demons.
If you're interested go to Ytube and look it up The Name of the Bible Study Video is Days of Noah The Nephilim by Pastor Chuck. It's 3 hours in 48 minutes and some seconds. He did explain how it is that they're even watching Us.
Thanks for sharing Ashley until next time Goodbye!
The picture shown a nail through a hand. This is probably false because the weight of the body would rip the hand out of the nail. The wrists were a more likely place where the nails were placed. Since the wrist bones would hold the body.
It doesn't look at all like she 8s squatting like a toad; or in a birthing position... She appears to be sitting crosslegged; hence the analysis seems quite off..
I just rather recently have learned that The Holy Ghost is Women (another massive debate in the church), but what's been found in Guatemala opens the doors of understanding at least to Me that is with Genesis "Let Us Make Man in our Own Image".
Recognizing Genesis chapter 3 & 4, Adam was Created in the image and likeness of God; but, then when the World changed after Eden, curiously The Bible says We were Created Male & Female in the Image & likeness of God.
Now I'm somewhat realizing that The Holy Spirit or in The African American Churches Holy Ghost what's been found in Guatemala makes perfect sense.
The Sweat lodges are intriguing how many of them were found in the America's?
Still, trying to understand the Toads & Iguanas this could be quite the mystery too Me.
Thank you for sharing interesting article regarding the Shroud Enrico well until next time Goodbye!
That's funny the Shroud is the only artifact of our Ancient Past that I'm skeptical of okay that might not be the only one but The Shroud is at the top of that particular lists of Mine.
This is truly an alarming article Ed thank you for sharing this information.
In addition to the throwing things in Berlin's Museum artifacts and displays has anyone noticed while these attacks with graffiti and other horrendous Acts happened if anything was stolen from the Museum?
I wonder if those geniuses (I'm being sarcastic) read Judges? God calls on Gideon whose of The Tribe of Manessah, great-grandson of Joesph to deliver his People out from the hand of the Midianites & Sarceans apparently, the scriptures described these two Tribes in Judges as that of The Locust.
Why I'm wondering if the Vandals read Judges?
Because The Angel of The Lord instructed Gideon to destroy the Altars dedicated to the false-god Ba'al.
Gideon completed the Job with the assistance of his Servant at Night.
The townspeople tried to confront Gideon who worshipped Ba'al by attempting to execute Him. Save for his Father who told the people should you defend Ba'al let Ba'al defend himself if He's a god.
Then again maybe they haven't read Judges or any part of The Bible. I just wondered because the smashing artifacts in addition to the spraying things.
Troubling thing I'm beginning to wonder is for how long the bad feeling is going to be around Globally?
1930's-1940's lasted no less than 20 Year's.
A 90 year old Holocaust Survivor back in I think 2018 or 2019 stated He didn't understand why Germany is in shock that the Nazi's are back They've Always Been Here.
I found out from Japanese News in Tokyo one of the World Leaders is in the process of severing The Pact that was made with Japan after 75 years.
70's in The Bible relayed to significant moments in Time with History translates too Week's- So one week in the Bible is 7 Year's, 70 weeks in the Bible stands for 70 Year's.
75 weeks with Japan means that something is coming to an end I just don't know what? Like I mentioned Hitler & Mussolini did what they committed no less than 20 Weeks which is 20 Years.
Man I pray this is over soon what's happening in Berlin is definitely going to start up elsewhere. I still think they may need to check and see if anything is missing after The Attacks.
I truly enjoy your articles, as they are well-written in addition to being well-researched and reliably sourced. I didn't know much about this piece, and have not given it a lot of thought, but it is truly amazing and mysterious in intent. I appreciate your research and the obvious passion for history that drives you forward.
They are not the same thing. The Mandylion and the Shroud were two separate relics. The Mandylion was kept in a small gilt-silver hanging box in the apse of the Church of the Pharos near the Bukoleon Palace. After the Crusader sack of Constantinople the Mandylion was taken to France. Today it is still in Notre Dame. The Holy Shroud was in the Church of the Virgin of the Blachernae duing the sack. It was mounded on a display that was unraveled-unrolled to show the face. The Holy Shroud vanished in the sack. The famous miraculous icon of the Virgin that was in the church vanished at the same time. The church was one of the first buldings to be sacked after the Palaces of Blachernae were looted. The relics in the church of the Pharos were all saved by one of the crusader knights. The French seem to be unaware that the Mandylion is in Paris. The image was very faded in 1204 and it has completely vanished from the cloth it is on. The West was much more intersted in Veronica’s veil rather than the Mandylion.
The extent of our brainwashing is Israel itself. The very idea that Almighty God “gave” an entire region over to a religious sect is just plain daft: God has more sense! and would certainly be capable of going forward in time to review the catastrophic consequences of this mythological act, if it were ever to occur.
In the West this has led, unfortunately to a Judeo-Christian mindset, beloved of Terrorists, of Be Good or Be Punished and/or Dead! totally unlike the Buddhist? Hindu/Zen mindset that explains clearly that we are ourselves the authors of our own stories, and that we have to work out our own personal salvation, and that this has always been the case, and that there are always Gurus of various descriptions and levels of accomplishment to help us on our merry way.
What this has to do with politics I have frankly not the foggiest idea!
As an image maker I take pictographs & heiroglyphics at face value. I do not try to use them, or imagine them as forming a part of what we are SUPPOSED to be able to read. Even supposing there is a reasonable interpretation of heiroglyphics and older languages, and the mistranslations of reigns lengths etc. must posit a limit to our accuracy, it is quite possible that characters change meaning in relation to their neighbours- as punctuation alters sense in old Hebrew, and rather more than that:
Egyptian Heiroglyphics, Harappa script & Linear A, with Rongorongo tell us, possibly, about another, divinized form of human life.
Interpreters of Heiroglyphics recognize pharoahs names & official titles in those ovoid separated colophons they complain are too often erased! but here as elsewhere the lines of drawings are surely representations of PROCESSES, as well as, possibly, bits of military history and kings praises.
These cultures had more than a single language and I take it that the truly indecipherable were designed to be so, and that they record processes of initiation & divinization by priests, to preserve the means by which one has become reincarnated etc.
Hence the pictures. What ARE these images? Well, the Harappa script in particular uses many many figures, in a shorthand by which their individual attributes, at that stage of the process, are added to them. One little stick man is holding one something, then two of them, and then various objects that could be nets or animals, there are those that remind me of the Long Man of Wilmington, but they ONLY remind me of other pictures, and none (except perhaps those that seem to indicate quantities) make me want to read them- they just dont.
They are quite unlike the basque language or Sanscrit, or Runes, all of which are read the way we read our languages- as sequences of sounds.
These pictorial languages are not languages, but records of events affecting individuals in their path towards God. The argument that “what about all those bas-reliefs in Egypt?” fails, and for this reason: over the long course of divinization for the priesthood initiates had to do something, no? They were apprenticed to artists and sculptors TO BE ABLE to record their being in an impermeable, eternal way: they did, after all, claim to live and be led by the gods themselves, and so they needed to celebrate it, just as years later Giotto recorded the life of Christ and Michaelangelo (the fallen Angel Michael?) painted the Sistine Chapel and carved the Pieta.
I believe the Rongo rongo script as certainly the Harappa have exactly the same function, but in societies less public, more secretive, and more inti a personal relationship with the Divine, than a public one.
The clay tablets from Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa showing animals, and one a man, record their Divinities at the time. The man is unrecognizeable as are the animals: the equivalent of animal-headed gods in Egypt and Babylon.
The reason these gods are represented with animal heads and a bevy of animal attributes is to safeguard them without betraying their identity. Each of the gods exists always in a human beings body and that body can be killed- as Jesus death bears witness to. So, in the old religions the boddhisattvas and saints of the day are shown as animal forms, or human forms with animal heads, just as they still are today in India, and I would respectfully suggest that the interpretation of the currently indecipherable be given over to the asian scholars whose own languages are pictographic at heart, as we in the West will get nowhere, having wrongly decided, a very long time ago, that people would spend their entire adult lives carving merely, only, the histories of kings into hard rock.
There certainly is something to it. If Rita Louise is right and the gods were an earlier advanced civilization with Ragnorok etc. causing a reset the survivors would have left something to their memories behind to teach their “children” and rock being what rocks are would have been the best medium. Some of the pictures on GT do make me think of something out of mythology with the birds and the reptiles. Both Norse and Greek myths tend to have the “good guy” gods depicted as birds and their counterparts reptiles.
