  • Reply to: Ten Legendary Lost Cities that Have Emerged from the Past   7 years 6 months ago
    Comment Author: Tefo Mangope

    These and other discoveries are clear evidence that our planet does experience a 're-birth' thousands of years in between whereby a calamity befalls it, wiping civilisations. This 'armageddon' or 'end of time' is the subject of many stories. The occurrences 'resets' everything such that when the next civilisation emerge, it is as if there has never been a repeat. The biggest take home from such discoveries, I believe, is that our (present) civilisation must prepare itself for the next calamity by learning from such records so that we do not become victims too.

  • Reply to: Did the Portuguese Have Secret Knowledge about Brazil Before the Treaty of Tordesillas?   7 years 6 months ago
    Comment Author: Garcia

    In Manuel Rosa's book, COLUMBUS The Untold Story he shows quite convincingly that Columbus had sailed to Canada in 1477 in a Portuguese secret mission and that King John II knew of Brazil before 1492. The "idea" that Vasco da Gama ever met Ahmad ibn Majid before 1487 is quite silly. Tangiers was a Portuguese outpost in current day Morocco, where they fought Islam on a daily basis. The idea that Ahmad ibn Majid born and living in today's United Arab Emirates would come to meet with the enemies of Islam in Morocco and exchange navigational notes is a far-fetched idea. Furthermore, Rosa explains that Perl da Covilha was a Portuguese spy sent to India in 1487 and who found out where one could get pilots in Eastern Africa who could guide Gama to India. May I suggest a slow reading of Rosa's book to Mr. Winters

    DNA analysis of mummies from the 12th dynasty indicate MULTIPLE lines of descent and show a genetic identity similar to MODERN Egyptians. Please try again. Look up DNA history of Egypt on wikipedia.

    Interesting hypothesis, I would be interested in learning more about where you came up with this idea.

     

    I have long thought that the Hebrews incorporated myths from all the people they encountered into their own history. Since the “Old Testament” was not written down until their return from the captivity in Babylon, probably by the prophet Jeremiah, they would have encountered many different peoples during their captivity, so the myths of many ancient peoples got incorporated.

     

    That being said, I don’t think that Akhenaten was either Adam or Moses as I believe the Israelites left Egypt much earlier than his reign. But, I did enjoy reading your hypothesis and hope that you will continue your research. That is why I’m enjoying this site. All the interesting hypothesis’ that appear here.

     

  • Reply to: Like a Virgin? The Controversial Account of Mary, Mother of Jesus   7 years 6 months ago
    Comment Author: Joe Mahler

    "I am of the opinion that Mary was raped by a new recruit into the Roman army ." "I believe that Jesus is the Son Of God" therefore kitnkaat believes that a new recruit into the Roman army is God. Kitnkaat gave a lot of information but then goes into her personal belief and opinions to defend herself. What she has written is nothing new. But since she doesn't believe the Bible is necessarily the Word of God then what does she have to go on in believing that Jesus is the Son of God and that through Him she will reach salvation. She apparently accepts everything else that she has put forth as being true but the Bible is the untrustworthy book, though, it is the book most scrutinized of them all. Amazing, the work of illogic at work in the world. But then she says, "don't criticize me because I believe in Jesus but the truth is what the Bible says but rather what I have determined is orthodox." Absurd. She must be a church of one or a unitarian.

  • Reply to: Ancient Signs in the Sky: Did a Meteorite Change the Course of Christianity 2,000 Years Ago?   7 years 6 months ago
    Comment Author: Sean Murphy

    It always annoys me when people try to come up with so-called scientific explanations for miracles in the bible or other mythologies. If you accept that it happened, then you have to accept that it was a miracle, not a historical event with a scientific explanation. Silly, stretched-out pseudo-scientific explanations for miraculous events are insulting to science as well as to religion. And to the intelligence and/or faith of the reader.

    Comment Author: kitnkaat

    I have done much research into the birth of Jesus and the formation of the early Church. Some of what I have discovered in my readings is this:

     

    For centuries, scholars have discussed at length why Jesus was so regularly called ben Panthera in many contemporary writings without coming to a consensus.

    The discovery of the “Panthera Tombstone” at Bingerbrück in Germany has reignited the question of the paternity of Jesus.

    The engraving reads:

    Tiberius Julius Abdes Panthera, an archer, native of Sidon, Phoenicia, who in 9AD was transferred to service in Rhineland (Germany).  (translation via Jesus the Magician, Professor Morton Smith, 1978, Dea. Lea. 1973-1974.)

     

    Even during his lifetime,  it appears that there was some question as to the legitimacy of Jesus’ birth. In John Chapter 8, the religious leaders ask Jesus if he was born of fornication and if his father is a Samaritan. And, in the third Chapter of Luke, it states that Jesus was the supposed son of Joseph. The gospel of Mark calls Jesus and Judas the sons of Mary (not Joseph).

     

    Also, Joseph’s reaction to Mary’s pregnancy indicates that he was not the father. Matthew clearly states that Joseph did not want to shame her and made arrangements to end the engagement. Only a dream convinced him to go through with the marriage. (Matt. 1:18-19)

    John states in verse 8:48 that the Jewish leaders doubt his parentage calling him  “a Samaritan and demon-possessed.” could it be that they were recalling the rumors surrounding Mary’s pregnancy?

     

    Other Christian writers made reference to the birth.

    The earliest Christian historian to mention Panthera was Church Father Origen who was refuting the 2nd-century Greek philosopher Celsus who was an opponent of Christianity. He stated that someone who was anti-christian, as Celsus was, would be unable to accept the miraculous birth of the Jesus and would look for an alternate explanation. He claimed that  a man born of unhallowed intercourse would have been a teacher of licentiousness, wickedness and other evils and not of temperance, righteousness and other virtues.  (Origen, Contra Celsus, book 1, chap. 28, 32, 38 )

    In passage 1:32, Origen says :

    “ when she was pregnant she was turned out of doors by the carpenter to whom she had been betrothed, as having been guilty of adultery, and that she bore a child to a certain soldier named Panthera.”

    passage 1:323:

    “ a body produced, as Celsus thinks, by an act of adultery between Panthera and the Virgin?”

    passage 1:64:

    “He was begotten by one Panthera, who corrupted the Virgin,”

    Granted, Origen states that Celsus was anti-Christian, but one must still wonder where the original information came from. According to Origen, Celsus originally received the information from an “unidentified Jew”. Unfortunately, Celsus’ works did not survive but I have often wondered if Celsus did not ever mention the Jew’s name or if Origen just did not include it.

     

    The traditional church writings of St Epiphanius, the Bishop of Salamis also covered the ben Panthera story and his information was of a startling nature. This champion of Christian orthodoxy and saint of Roman Catholicism frankly stated:

    “Jesus was the son of a certain Julius whose surname was Panthera” (Heresies, Epip., Haer, Epiphanius, lxxvii, 7)

     

    he ben Panthera legend was so widespread that two early stalwarts of the Christian church inserted the name in the genealogies of Jesus and Mary as a matter of fact.(Heresies, Epip., Haer, Epiphanius, lxxvii, 7)

     

    There are other references to Pantera (or Panthera). One must wonder why they felt the need to explain the Panther legend. It must have been widespread at the time and perhaps many believed it.

     

    Personally. I am of the opinion that Mary was raped by a new recruit into the Roman army (he would have been a member of the auxiliary), most likely urged on by fellow soldiers as a type of hazing.

     

    And, before those commenters who will view this as an attack on Christianity can say anything, I would like to say that I consider myself a Born Again Christian in that I believe that Jesus is the Son Of God and that through Him I will reach salvation. However, I do not consider the Bible to necessarily be the Word Of God. I view the Bible as a resource on how I should live my life. Hopefully, this will not be seen as a threat to anyone.

     

  • Reply to: Why are Democrats ‘Left’ and Republicans ‘Right’? The Surprising History of Political Affiliations   7 years 6 months ago
    Comment Author: Jeremy Auldaney

    The term to be right refers to this symbolism. Right meant good, left meant evil. The Bible says he puts the sheep on his right hand, and the goats, the unsaved on his left to be cast into Hell. This is where the term to get left came from. And he is my right hand man. In the military a you always walk march or stand to the left of the man in charge. Political parties are Right Conservative Traditional and Moral values. Left Socialist Communist Democratic Mob Rule as described in the protocols of the learned Elders of Zion. See my books on history and science.

  • Reply to: The Top Three Scientific Explanations for Ghost Sightings   7 years 6 months ago
    Comment Author: Jeremy Auldaney

    The Bible says do not contact spirits because they are the spirits of Demons who serve Satan. This is Pagan worship called witchcraft. Secular sciences are atheists and do not believe in the supernatural, so they say these are hallucinations by suggestion, or caused by altered states from drugs hypnosis etc.

    See documentation in my book Part 2. At Amazon Books under Auldaney.

    The truth is all three explanations are partially correct. If you believe something you are likely to jump to conclusions and interpret every tiny thing as a ghost, etc. like most of the ghost television programs who try to make you believe it it all a hoax. However, some are real, but they are not ghosts The Bible says no one returns after death, they go to Heaven waiting for their celestial bodies after the Rapture occurs on earth, or Hades to wait for judgement.

    The real appearances of evil spirits is caused by electromagnetic fields produced by the earth at certain times mainly at solstices and equinoxes, along lay lines at Megalithic sites built by the Phoenicians and Naphilim giants all over the earth. This electric/magnetic field is used by invisible entities to materialize as electromagnetic holograms as dead people, aliens, faeries, gnomes, and UFOs. Sometimes they can use transmogrification to create solid objects out of this energy. Peyote and other drugs, hypnosis, and sex brings on altered states which open the mind to contact with Demonic Guide Spirits. These communicate by telepathy which can also produce hallucinations. Or they can levitate objects. And produce other paranormal phenomenon.

    We are living in the last days before Jesus return, so Satan and his Fallen Angels, assisted by Demonic spirits, hybrid humans known as Nephilim, and chimera genetically altered organisms made of genes from humans and animals creating monsters. This is in preparation for the contact with aliens from space hoax that will be used to cover Satan's Invasion during the 7 year Tribulation period.

    I think you missed this.

    This is from my last Ancient Origins Article

    http://www.ancient-origins.net/news-history-archaeology/stone-age-text-l...

    The title for the image that shows the two bones is incorrect (Page 2 of article)... I'll talk to April later to correct it... the article incorrectly describes the two bones from Germany as Australian...) anyway these two bones are 300,000 to 400,000 years old, and the data found on them is identical to the astronomical data taken from the polygonal walls at Delphi and engraved stones found in Australia.

    The background for this specific test was to see if angular values found in ancient religious sites and archaic geometric images are totally random. They aren't....When we have sufficient numbers of lines to take reasonable statistics the same order is found for the first second and third most commonly seen angles in Australia and Delphi (Greece).

    Data now suggests there was an archaic stone age language and written text, and the text dates back 400,000 years.

    Comment Author: Meghavahan

    Rig Veda Book 8, Hymn 48
    We have drunk Soma and become immortal; we have attained the light, the Gods discovered.
    Now what may foeman's malice do to harm us? What, O Immortal, mortal man's deception?
    Absorbed into the heart, be sweet, O Indu, as a kind father to his son, O Soma

    Atharva Veda Book 14, Hymn 1
    One thinks, when men have brayed the plant, that he hath drunk
    the Soma's juice,.
    Of him whom Brāhmans truly know as Soma, never mortal eats.

    The soma that grants immortality is not a physical substance, the physical soma was an stimulant that was used by warriors when they went into battle.

    I have apparently participated in a haunting of ... me. When I was very young we lived in Germany [army brat] and when I was late 2 early 3 years old until we moved back to the US I had an imaginary friend who would tell me stories. When I was seen by a kiddy shrink, and he asked me about it and to describe the old man I gave the description of my long dead great grandfather, including the description of a moderately distinctive birthmark which I would have had no way to discover as the only extant picture of the gent was in Florida. When I got back to the US I wasn't as isolated as I was then surrounded by bunches of cousins to play with. Odd? Yes. Ghost? I would say something odd and unusual was going on, that could not be explained in any other manner. Do I believe in Ghost Hunters and other TV shows? Yes and no ... I preferred the early years when they didn't automatically claim everything was a ghost ... they had the nous to say nothing was going on. But I do know that there is something out there we can't always explain though lots can be explained away by the 3 explanations above.

    White people never do anything wrong. There aren't any white looters because when they do the looting, it isn't called looting, it's called preservation. Of course, the things they preserve end up being transformed and taken away from the people. But we should be ok with that, right? GTFOH trying to take and give credit to monsters that are only capable of destruction is insanity. Your research is faulty, your logic is absent. But at least you're trying, good for you 'Genetiker.'

    Ghosts are the spirits of those who have passed on....some fear the "Judgement" of God, so will not enter into the portal of light, even though friends and family members within are inviting them...The fear the coming judgement, and so elect to stay in this realm, rather than going before the Lord! I'm surprised that they can and do do evils...I had assumed that once dead, you could commit no more sins or evils...I was wrong!!

    DWWEBB, if you really want to know about how the NOK people established such an elaborate Judicial system, I would advise you to read a few books on NOK civilization, because this is only a short article which gives a few “HIGHLIGHTS” about some of the creations of this highly sophisticated culture which existed at least 3000 years ago...This article will not cover all the information in a few paragraphs or less.  I am quite sure that all of the highlights were researched over the past century, and you shouldn’t expect all of the facts to be in this one small article...Come on fella, please use your senses and stop complaining about something that disturbs you because it mentions the sophistication of an anceint Black African culture, which you would like to doubt ever existed...later

  • Reply to: The Highly Advanced and Mysterious Ancient Civilization of the Nok   7 years 6 months ago
    Comment Author: Charles Bowles

    It appears to me that we know just as much about the NOK as we know about any ancient culture/civilization that existed 3000 years ago,or should I say before ancient Greece became an advanced civilization.  We examine artifacts, such as statues, pottery, drawings, languages, study various tools and instruments used and almost anything that would be connected to that culture..We study the NOK culture using the same methods that we study ancient Black African civilizatiions such as ancient Zimbabwe, PUNT (modern day Somalia), CUSH/AKUM (modern day Ethiopa), NUBIA (modern day Sudan), SUMERIA (modern day Iraq), LEVANT (modern day Israel, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon)...NOK ISN’T ANY DIFFERENT FROM THE STUDIES OF THESE OTHER ANCIENT CULTURES THAT ONCE EXISTED ON EARTH...One of the facts revealed in this article is that the NOK people were indeed sophisticated jurists when it came to judicial fairness, punishment, as well as rehabilitation to prevent reoccurrence of crimes which tends to destabilize societies, it was ahead of present day so call Western Nations.    Also, the art of African “Lipombo” (elongation of the skull into a cone shape) which can be observed by the NOK sophisticated sculptors, can be viewed as an art by many ancient Black Africans, including the Egyptians/Nubian’s which used this “Cranial Deformation” to distinguish Black Rulers from ordinary citizens within many different African societies, even the present day Mangbetu Tribe of the Congo who still practices this same art to a lesser extent than in ancient times….

    Good Morning,  Many Native Tribes call this Mother Earth, she has a cycle.   The Hopi believe civilizations have been started three times prior to this cycle we are living in today.  The first two were on time and the third, the flood came early.   

    If you look at Hapgood’s “Path of the Pole”  and his climate chart of 100,000 years, you see that 12,500 years ago there was a transition of the pole, (the last time the ice caps melted and there was a flood), 25,000 years ago there was a transition of the pole (the last ice age), 50,000 years ago there was a transition of the pole, (major global warming), and it goes on to say there was a transition of the pole 75,000 and then again 100,000 years.  Civilization weren’t here on the last two times but animals, monkeys, dinosaurs, bugs, fish, might have been and they could have been buried, frozen, drown, or burned at those times. Just my thoughts.   

    If you have any questions about this article please let me know.   all the best.   tom
