    To clear up any doubts concerning the physical Ark,simply contact the Israeli Govt. Portal online and ask the relic archive agents. Or fly to Israel and go to golgotha yourself !!!$2850.00 roundtrip ticket .

  • Reply to: Exploring the Megaliths of Magnetic Rock – Guidepost for Ancient Man?   7 years 6 months ago
    Comment Author: Steve Benassi

    Magnetic Rock on Gunflint Trail is at least 2 Artifacts. First, the tall standing Oblelisk is a land route trail marker for the trail between Magnetic Lake and Knife Lake. Second, adjacent on the NE side of the Obelisk is a water route trail marker for the water route between Magnetic Lake and Knife Lake.

    It is easy to lose your way at this point in the trail between Hudson Bay and Gulf of Mexico.

    I have been mapping artifacts like this since 2012 and can prove that magnetic rock is an artifact by the association of the huge water route trail marker next to it on its NE side.

    Charles Bruns... See more examples, and my contact info at my webpage... Steve Benassi Google+ to discuss.

    Thanks.

    Of course you have no proof of any of this, just ramblings. I note you state, "it (the Ark)was still in the Jerusalem Temple in 70 AD but was removed by God to Heaven when Jesus was crucified. The crucifixion occurred about 33 AD, yet it was here in 70 AD?

    If your book is as poorly written as your comment, I think I'll pass on reading it.

    The ark of the Covenant is an important element of Jewish lore but in reality probably did not exist but was an invention of the Jewish scribes who put the books of the Old Testament together the majority of which were written not long before the Christian era with much being composed during the Babylonian exile. In fact the proportions of this Ark are replicated at Solomon’s Temple so as the Ark was placed within the temple we had a greater and a lesser Ark on Mount Moriah nestling together akin to Russian dolls! We find that both Ark and Temple have a 1:1.66666 proportion.
    During the later period of Norman expansion in Britain we saw Chartres Cathedral being built in France and not so long afterwards Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland. Both of these structures emulate the Ark of the Covenant. In fact at Chartres the prime key to the dimensions of the building is the inscription over the North Door, also known as The Door of the Initiates, which states in Latin,

    …Here things take their course…you are to work through the Ark…

    Of course to understand this one must, of necessity have knowledge of the values in use at the building as of course applies also to the Temple and to Rosslyn Chapel and fundamentally to the Ark itself. The Ark utilises a cubit of 1.76 feet and hence its length was 2.5 x 1.5 of these cubits which results in 4.4 feet x 2.64 feet. When the ‘working through the Ark’ has been accomplished a dimension emerges that is seen as part of the Ark of the Covenant and this is confirmed within 0.3 of a millimetre of the unit measure that Charpentier derived from a combination of his own and other’s surveys. But Charpentier was unaware of the units in use and could not make the evaluation that connects to the Biblical writings, an omission that does not occur in the book noted below where a full and provable evaluation is found.
    The origination and evaluation of ancient measures is seen in the book Measurements of the Gods while a full description of Solomon’s Temple is seen in the book Deluge:From Genesis to Atlantis. Both are free to read online or download at:-

    There is a great deal involved regarding this tale of the Ark and indeed that of the earlier model, Noah’s Ark and in transpires that the Noah version is no more than a boat shaped geological oddity but most importantly its dimensions were copied rather precisely. There is no doubt here because the plan dimensions [albeit with the beam reduced by the golden section which is easily constructed geometrically] were copied and used in the Genesis description. The Chaldean version of the flood tale which was added to later versions of the Gilgamesh Epic gives the location of the boat shaped lump of rock which apart from the beam difference noted above is the same length as is given in Genesis. The same cubit value applies to this ark as well.
    The proportion of 1: 1.666666 also occurs elsewhere; this fits the outline of the constellation Gemini which as the flood revolves around the loss of pole star is not surprising. Many of the myths in the religious works are allegory which, when evaluated tell of the movements of the skies. Pliny the Elder’s work Natural History contains the following statement.

    From the time of Father Liber [Roman Bacchus or Greek Dionysus] to that of Alexander the Great, [356-323 BC, ascension in 336 BC] one hundred and fifty-three kings of India are reckoned, extending over a period of six thousand four hundred and fifty-one years and three months.
    Here we have a date from the summer of 336 when Alexander ascended the throne. Effectively this can be seen as 335.5 BC to which we add the 6451.25 years mentioned by Pliny to arrive at a date of 6786.75 BC or the spring of 6787 BC, the vernal equinox. This date is 111 years prior to that derived from India of 6676BC for the commencement of the Saptarisi calendar and yet it equally could indicate the commencement of the Age of Cancer. Visually the space between the two relevant constellations, Cancer and Gemini is such that 111 years would be barely noticed as it is the sunrise in the constellation that denotes the Zodiac Age.
    So we have Dionysus who in reality is virtually the same as the later Roman Bacchus coming into existence at the same celestial occasion as the Indians set their Saptarisi calendar. The Biblical flood story is derived from Indian sources with the boat element taken from the location in what is now Turkey and that is a tale of a celestial flood as is that from China. The Ark of the Covenant and Solomon’s Temple emulate the constellation Gemini as do Rosslyn Chapel and Chartres Cathedral as these are based in proportion upon the Ark of the Covenant. For enlightenment we have to look to the skies…and understanding the applied dimensions as these tell us a great deal.
    I suggest that those who are interested in these Biblical myths read the relevant sections of the works mentioned above, or hopefully the books in their entirety as there is a great deal of information there…all free; it costs nothing but reveals the results of decades of investigation on the part of the principal author Harry Sivertsen.

    All of this has been thoroughly debunked. There are so many ways to criticize and disprove Christianity, there's no need to make things up. I can't believe people are still repeating this nonsense. Just google zeitgeist debunked.

    Dave Talbott expands on this, exploring these and many other mythic symbols, amassing evidence that the ancient sky featured some phenomena unseen and others rarely seen since.

  • Reply to: Padre Padilla, the Incorruptible: Body of Murdered Friar Remains Perfectly Preserved After Centuries   7 years 6 months ago
    Comment Author: Willy

    Fun story with no actual evidence. Incourruptables are anything but. They are the result of very good embalming of natural mummification combined with cosmetic artistry. Padre Pio (depicted above) for instance, has a silicone face and hands to hide the fact that his body has in fact decayed. This replaces the wax sculpture faces he has worn in the past. This goes for others as well.

    Comment Author: Stuart McLaren

    Osiris, you go from discounting the Exodus to the birth of the Messiah in one breath, as though any proof or chance of the existence of one will prove the other, and your biblical minimalist construct comes to a crashing end.  It's important to keep an open mind with something like the movement of Asiatics out of Egypt, albeit at a different period.  Have you encountered the works of authors and Egyptologists around the so called 'New Chronology'?

    Totally amazing how normal that all sounds with Nanni and his complaints. Sounds just how people complain today. Goes to show that the more things change, the more they stay the same. So very interesting!!!

    Comment Author: Edward Hanson

    The civil war was over religion: The Age of Taurus was over and the Age of Ares had begun, but the established priesthood didn't want to change over. The Hyksos were the champions of the new age, and were twice expelled from Egypt, settling in.....Jerusalem, where they styled themselves as poor shepherds, rather than wealthy kings. Ralph Ellis documents this history quite well. He also reveals that the Hyksos Pharaohs were the Hebrew Patriarchs.

    Comment Author: danny2.0

    not true at all...one thing about the Thuggee is that they WOULD NOT attack British travellers even in their heyday, they feared the organised wrath of the East India company/British Empire, which they were right to - thats what shut them down in the end...weak and unarmed parties and solo travellers were most in danger, the Thugs weren't stupid, thats why they lasted as long as they did...
