  • Reply to: Does the Ipuwer Papyrus Provide Evidence for the Events of the Exodus?   7 years 6 months ago
    Comment Author: osiris

    It may certainly be evidenve of calamaties and disasters in Egypt at this time but it does not evidence the claims of the bible, nor of the exostence of any Hebrew people. The only people kicked out of EGypt were the Hyksos. And they were run out because thay had debased the Egyptian society. They were thieves and criminals. If the biblical claims reflect this group being kicked out then certainly, they deserved it, and there was no ‘almighty Deity’ leading them.

    It points to the liklihood that this particular controversy was ‘lifted’ and used to justify belief in the exodus ‘story’ – which is all it is. This habit of ‘lifting’ would also mirror the new testament claims about a miraculous individual, born of a virgin, crucified, rising from the dead, ascending, etc. These attributes were not new claims and were given to at least a dozen other ‘crucified savior god-men’ in the history of religion, prior to the rise of christianity. The bible, both OT and NT were written by the same group of people.

    I looked around wondering what would be attractive about this area and came up with this. At 50.557084 98.014940, 20 kilometers east of Kungurtug appears to be an eroded pyramid surrounded by a watercourse. What appears to be a natural circular formation starts to look like an eroded 4 sided pyramid as you come in closer. It reminds of the ones in China. It looks roughly to be 400 x 400 meters. There is a village almost half way between Kungurtug and the suspicious mound. Also Por Bajin sits on the northeast corner of a quite remarkable looking mountain range. Probably host to monasteries and such.

    How the heck could Herodotus mention that the Scythians grew corn and onions when maize is a new world crop?

  • Reply to: The Enigma Surrounding the Stunning Lady Of Elche   7 years 6 months ago
    Comment Author: William John Meegan

    Since I made my initial comment I have begun to research this Dharmachakra wheel and there is no doubt that this image is known in all religions. I am going to research Buddhism and Hinduism symbolism that obviously relates to the wheels that flank the Lady of Elche's head.

    The word HEAD in Judaism is exactly what commence the writing of the Judaeo Christian Scripture: i.e which symbolizes the east-west corridor of TIME. The first two letters of Genesis: BETH and RESH writes the first word of Genesis: BE-RESH-ITH. When Resh crosses Beth it is creating the Cross of Christ. Both these letters represent a container. The HEAD houses the psyche. The skull or place of the skull is where Christ died. Creating the word BERESHITH creates the sacred geometry of the VESICA PISCIS, which are the two wheel of the Dharmachakra with the throne of Christ (Merkabah) in the center, which allows the initiate to enter the future on a spiritual level.

    It appears to me along with my study of the Vedas that there is more to Dazbog. He appears to be a depiction of the coming Jesus Christ. His body forms a Celtic Cross...Serbs have Celtic blood in them. The halo around his head carries the unfolding of the many petaled lotus which signifies the complete and perfect unfolding of the crown chakra with the halo around that. He has a crown on his head with three points (father,son, holy ghost) and his heart chakra is depicted as fully open. At his feet is a lion laying down with a lamb on the other side. There is a complete halo around his body as well depicting that all his chakras are open, including the many petaled lotus above and he is crowned. This is the Christ, the perfected man to come.

  • Reply to: The true meaning of Paganism   7 years 6 months ago
    Comment Author: Kevin M.

    Don't blame "threats to you and your family" on Christianity, blame it on Constantine. He was a politician and a ruler of his time whose conversion is now suspected to be insincere, and rather done for political purposes, probably to gain adherents from the growing numbers of Christians. And why was Christianity growing so steadily? Christianity's "appeal" is indeed from the Messiah's words and actions themselves - messages of God's mercy and forgiveness for mankind. But it wasn't just his message, which others had also given, it was his real power to heal, save and forgive, a power he only had because he was the sole, unique, physical manifestation of God on earth and in time. God promised him and sent him, because mankind cannot hope to save himself or survive without him. This is a power lacking in all other religions, pagan and otherwise. Having said that, God is Father of all his human children, and does not favor or disfavor any religion or denomination. We are all precious in his sight, and we will all meet in the same heaven, no matter what any particular religion says.

    “"There was trade going on between Malaysia and ancient Rome as early the 1st century AD"?! Malaysia? As far as I know it was the port city of Barus in present day North Sumatra that had trade going with that part of the world. Trade in "kapur barus" (camphor) and benzoin.

    In addition to this building, most of the Gothic Cathedral were built with masonic principles. They are the same principles that the Egyptians, the Greeks and Romans used. These principles are based on the Greek mathematician, Euclid's encoding of earlier work into his Elements, which lays out the basics of Geometry.

    Siberia had a temperate climate during the period the writer mentioned. No permanent ice at that time, and no permafrost. According to a number of recent studies, it appears the change to "todays" conditions was quite sudden.

    Um actually archaeologists used carbon dating to know when it was built. They were also able to identify that it was built most likely as a monastery around the time that the emperor converted to the Chinese religion. It was actually abandoned as a result of an earthquake and a severe fire.

    The first thing I saw was the cross of St.George = the Zodiac and the Sun moving around " flat Earth " like map ... imo correct ...

    amazing if it fit that map too ... as it may show how mesopotamian cities were also aligned to the stars ... for example the Euphrates river may have been the equinox line ...

    Pacific Lemuria? As far as I know, Lemuria is identical with Kumari Kandam, being the connection between Australia, India and Madagascar.

    Science tries to prove itself wrong. Thee are a whole lot of claims being made and not a single piece of defensible scientific evidence. Call it conjecture, call it a theory, but do not insult real science with conspiracy explanations. That just makes this whole thing hoaxy and quacky. Yup.
