In our modern day time, loads and loads of people believe strongly that whatever is written in books, mostly history books, us archeologist must find the artifact AS WRITTEN IN THE BOOK. Add to it MSM, Hollywood and recently the internet with social media, the truth is easily twisted, distorted to fit whatever narrative a few choses it to be. A lot of people nowadays want quick clicks and fast reading. Unfortunately that doesn’t work in archeology mostly if you are trying to find the truth about something specific. See in archeology, the initial data is always pure, raw….However, the interpretation of the data can be easily biased and manipulated. What people read on the net and from main stream history books are just that = it’s the analyzed version of the initial information found in archeology, which can be biased in the wrong hands. No one is willing to go and dig into a mountain of paper work just to get one sentence out. But it’s much easier and less time consuming to read what others interpret and write about the data.

To make it clearer for anons, I’m going to give you a few examples:

1 – Take a look at all sarcophaguses I’ve attached pictures of in this drop. At first glance, a lot of people immediately say, the first 2 are Pharaoh Egyptian and the last one is Greek. I’m certain millions of people walked by these sarcophaguses in museums without even knowing that they are actually Phoenician. And here comes the drama and the hysteria when I say that to people: “but, but….Phoenician doesn’t look like that! It looks Greek, Egyptian…. That’s impossible.”

No it isn’t? There is a very logical explanation to that. It was the trend back then ^_^ Tabnit and Eshmunazor were both kings of the Polis Sidon and back then, there was Egyptian art influence on the East coast of the Med sea. Those 2 kings had money and they bought those sarcophaguses. Tabnit wrote inscriptions in both hieroglyphics and Phoenician on the cover of his anthropoid sarcophagus, while Eshmunazor only wrote in Phoenician. Then, we have in a later period, where the Greek influence was dominating the East coast of the Med sea, a sarcophagus with Greek design on it. The explanation is super easy: I wear jeans most of the time, does that make me American? I adore eating Spaghetti Bolognese, does that make me Italian? I drive a Honda, does that make me Japanese? See what I mean by cultural influence and trends, anons? And if you’ve got money and you are king, you can buy yourself the best items that are provided by trade in the ancient world, even very exotic items.

And then, when you present this logical explanation, (((they))) and (((their))) minions come up with a supposedly counter argument saying: “if that’s the case, then the Phoenicians didn’t have any culture or arts of their own and they just copied others”. Really? That argument gets easily flushed when you point out that the biggest traders of the ancient world were the Phoenicians = they dominated trade for tens of centuries. Nowadays, if a car dealer buys a big lot of Japanese cars, can’t he keep one of them for himself and use it? And if he is wealthy, can’t he keep more than one for himself? Of course, he can. Back then was no different then what we do now. Imagine Potus not wearing a single one of the ties he produces with his name on it? Or never drink the wine the Trump family makes? Really? So since Potus is in the business, he cannot use his own products? It’s just the same for the biggest traders in the Med sea = can’t they follow the trend of back then and get buried in an Egyptian style sarcophagus? Says who? Oh! (((THEY))) said so. And since (((they))) own or control most media and printing, (((THEY))) get to write history as (((they))) want to interpret it themselves. Followed by a huge brainwashing of the public.

See how (((they))) hide the truth right in front of everyone’s nose?

2 – I’m going to talk about a very specific nose, belonging to a very famous person as a second example: Cleopatra….everyone knows her right? And everyone remembers Sophia Loren, but mostly Elizabeth Taylor in her iconic role as Cleopatra. Terribly beautiful isn’t she? Such a wise and powerful woman and so romantic. That’s what (((they))) have made you believe through the means of Hollywood = their tool. The truth as archeologist knows it is totally different from the fiction we see in movies. Here again archeological artifacts are overlooked by the public and they choose the easy way into knowing history = through movies.

Ancient coins are evidence that Cleopatra VII Lagide is nothing like what Hollywood project her to be. Old coins are like a picture catalogue of ancient rulers. So take a look for yourself anons, and look closely to that nose. The truth is, among archeologists, Cleopatra VII is believed to be an ugly woman. The reason is because of the incest marriage in the royal Lagide family for centuries. If you take a look at the founder of the dynasty Ptolemy I Soter – note mostly detail of face, especially eyes, nose and chin, mouth) you will notice that most of his descendants had almost the exact same facial traits, mostly the boggled eyes. And since brothers married sisters to keep the blood pure, they perpetuated those physical traits all the way to Cleopatra VII. And yes, there were 6 other Lagide “queens” before her also named Cleopatra.

Some have attempted to make a digital reconstruction of Cleopatra VII’s true face. There are different results as anons can see, not totally identical, because the people doing the reconstruction have adopted different norms and each interpreted things their way. The point is, this is another method (((they))) used to distort history. The public doesn’t check the archeological artifact, but it’s easier, more comfy, for it to simply watch a movie = it’s like (((they))) cast a magic spell on the people using the movie and made everyone believe an alternative, false reality = welcome to the matrix anons.

I’m adding that in the documentary pointed out by Qteam = “Out of shadows”; they talked about this as well.

3 – I’ve mentioned this before and since we are talking about coins being a photographic catalogue of past rulers = their portraits; let me give anons a third example of how (((they))) twisted and manipulated history by using the example of Tigran II the Great. Plutarch mentioned Tigran II in 3 of his “Parallel Lives” (in French: “La vie des hommes illustres”): In Sulla, in Lucullus and in Pompey. In Lucullus, (XXX & XXXI) he described the “reign of Tigran II as being tyranical”. If you read the whole of what he wrote about the Armenian king, anons will get the image of a very tyrannical, block minded, arrogant, power hungry and merciless Tigran II; even I could say a total illiterate barbarian.

Upon digging further, I found out that Tigran was considered by many as a wise ruler. He was very educated for his time, speaking fluently Armenian and Greek. He was patron of arts and his court welcomed musicians, painters, sculptors, poets, writers etc. At the fall of the Seleucid Empire, Antioch called for Tigran to assimilate the Polis and its territory to his kingdom; opening the gates of the city and celebrating him entering it. They even happily accepted to print his famous tetradrachms with the title of “Basileos Basileon Tigranou” = King of Kings Tigran. The reason given by Antioch was that Tigran was considered the only remaining king in the region which not only perpetuated the Hellenistic culture but also had an army powerful enough to defend them against any barbaric aggression including the one of the Romans.

So the Romans considered whatever that was not Roman to be tyrannical, arrogant and barbaric; while the Hellenistic culture considered whatever that was not Hellenistic as barbaric. But if you look closely to Plutarch’s texts, you will notice that he “attacked” Tigran’s personality, not mentioning his accomplishments (unless they are bad ones) or the cultural nest which his court was. In other words Plutarch did his best to paint the Armenian king in a negative way. If anons compare, it’s the exact and same method used by nowadays MSM to attack Potus and paint a negative image of him. Same type, exactly the same. If I wanted to describe Plutarch bias, I would say he was the Roman CNN – if you know what I mean there.

But this doesn’t mean Plutarch’s text should be thrown away and disregarded. In fact, there is one section in his description of Tigran that matches the truth: it’s when he described Tigran’s clothing and crown. How do I know this? Remember how I keep on saying that the text must match the archeological artifact and not the artifact must match the text? The answer was provided by Tigran’s coins, his famous tetradrachms. So only in this section of his writings about Tigran did Plutarch say the truth because what he wrote is very very close to what we see on those famous tetradrachms. That section matches the archeological artifact. So you see anons, no matter how much Plutarch slandered Tigran and called him stuff, even invented stuff or omitted them, there is a small fraction in his text that was truthful. This is why we got to always handle the ancient texts very carefully, very.

4 – My last example is something that I’ve experienced myself in one of my digs. An acquaintance of mine needed an extra set of digging hands to help him out at a small site from the Middle Ages. Not my era but a digger is a digger in archeology. So I agreed to it, and of course the experts handled the artifacts that came out, I just helped them get them out of the soil. So I was digging a medieval site and I had the surprise of my life time: right there, next to the skeleton I was digging out, very close to it, was a soda can.

A soda can with the design from the late XX century, laid so close to the skeleton I was digging. My first reaction was = somebody was pulling a prank on me. I asked everyone around but everyone was as much as surprised as I was. So it was not a prank. We decided to take a closer look at this soda can: it looked like it was smashed on one side while it had this kinda of circular hole in it. We couldn’t figure out what it’s all about. There was no explanation, no logical explanation onto how this “modern” day soda can managed to get into the medieval layer which was many centuries ago. And I can assure everyone, no one pulled a prank, it was not the wind blowing it since the design on the can was from late XX century, and it was surely not the aliens who put it there. So how did it get there?

I’m very interested in GIANTS and ELONGATED SKULLS. I think it goes straight into a section of the puzzle. But as I just said, no Nephilim, so when I will be talking about giants, it will be mostly about graves, skeletons and sculptures.

In order to understand me better, please anons, go grab a coin; any coin would do. Then take a good long look at that coin. Turn it around and inspect closely every inch of it. If I asked anons how many sides does a coin have; what would your reply be? I bet most if not all would tell me two sides (heads and tails); while I would reply three side = heads, tails and the edge.

We always have 2 sides of things in life and that includes History: we had the main stream history and just on its opposite side, we had the alternative history. But what if both are wrong and both are right? What if neither got it right? What if each got a fragment of the truth? What if the truth was stuck on the line, somewhere, where both sides meet? What if there was a third option?

This is where I will be walking. I will be walking on that narrow edge of the coin, where the heads and the tails meet. And if you look closely, there are ridges on most coin edges = it’s going to be a bumpy ride.

I’m not “satisfied” with the main stream history, like when they tell us that the Sumerians “suddenly appeared out of nowhere”. That doesn’t make any sense? And I’m not satisfied in what the alternative history is telling us = Aliens = the anunnaki created the Sumerians. It doesn’t stick with me. What if, there was a third option? What if there was a very logical explanation? But it was kept away from us in order to hide a much bigger truth.

With everything said and done, I’m going to ask anon, whoever is truly interested in knowing the truth, to take a bit of your time and read about Armenia’s geography - precisely: the geographical location, the relief = physical geography, the hydrology, the meteorology, the fauna, the flora, agriculture, domesticated animals and the minerals coming out of the earth. In order to understand what I’m going to talk about, you got to get acquainted about those first anons.

Let me tell anons how it all started: I was working back then in a research place, as a team member and we had this big research. It took us 7 full years to accomplish it. For obvious reasons I’m not going to mention the subject of our research, but I want to point out that in order to get the information needed for that specific subject of ours, we had to gather secondary information. That secondary information consisted of two points: 1 – finding ALL the trade (traveling) routes leading to the East Coast of the Med Sea. 2 – What type of merchandise was used in trade. We also had a specific time frame to work under = from 2000 B.C. all the way to the end of Augustus’ reign. HUGE isn’t it? But just like I said, this was only secondary information which will lead us to our main research subject, back then.

The geographic area to cover was as huge as the time frame. So we decided to divide the work between us and each one of us was in charge of one “geographic location” to gather the required information from. It turned out Armenia was assigned to me. A place, I know almost nothing about apart hearing of the genocide. So I was as clueless as clueless can be about Armenia.

I had to start somewhere, right? And what better way to get acquainted with Armenia than to get to know its geography (=context). I want to point out to anons, that geography is ALWAYS HONEST, it cannot LIE or be BIASED. It’s a physical object, or should I say a force of nature that cannot be changed: like we have a mountain here, a river there, a valley next to a mountain which is this high and this wide etc. No matter how you try to twist it, the physical geography of a place remains the same for everyone to see.

I read a lot of modern books about Armenia’s geography. Of course I used maps, saw videos and pictures of it as well, to confirm what was written. I even read from ancient sources (Strabo, Geography, mostly XI) and compared what they said to modern day writing to see if there were any type of changes, mostly in the flora and fauna.

There are a few important things that popped out about Armenia’s geography that anons should take note of:

Its geographical location on a HIGH plateau = Armenia is considered a HIGHLAND. It’s like a huge maze of interlocked or zigzagging mountains, making it a NATURAL fortress. No matter what the era, century or rule was, 90 % of Armenia’s ancient capitals were located in what is called as “Armenia’s heart”, including nowadays capital Yerevan (which apparently means Victoria). I was surprised to see how easy it is to locate Armenia on any map (just like the boot shape of Italy) because of “Armenia’s heart” = the 3 Armenian lakes with the names of Van, Sevan and Urmia consist of the 3 angles of a triangle, once connected like what I did on this map, anons will have a visual of Armenia HEART. Those 3 lakes along with Erzurum and Ararat were from the beginning of times part of Armenia; they were stripped away from it by the Bloodlines at the beginning of the XXth century….but that is a story for another time.

Another specific trait in Armenia’s geography is that all through history, heart land Armenia = the plateau, never had any direct access to any sea. And then comes the weather, mostly the terrible Armenian winter. There isn’t anyone writing about it who didn’t describe it as a harsh winter, which is due to the altitude of the plateau. This terrible Armenian winter was in a strange way like a protector, shielding the plateau many months per year from invading armies.

(Please read from the start)

Strabo, reported something about the winter: apparently travels of the Armenian Plateau during winter used very long sticks, tube like sticks. These specific sticks had a double function: 1 – In case of an avalanche occurring and they were buried, those sticks would be used as tube to breath. 2 – Those sticks would also pin point the location if they got buried in an avalanche.

Even Xenophon, in his Anabasis (IV), reported how harsh and terrible Armenia’s winter is. He even reported that the locals used, during winter, to wrap their horse’s feet with animal skins so they won’t sink into the snow. As if this was not enough, the plateau was also exposed to violent winds.

After I got acquainted to the “WHERE” my research was going to take place, it was time to find out about the “WHAT” and the “HOW”.

One of my early findings was the inscription of Behistun, located in nowadays Iran. Let me say from the get go: FOR NOW, I’m not going to comment on the relief. I’m ONLY going to talk about the TEXT.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behistun_Inscription

“The Behistun Inscription (also Bisotun, Bistun or Bisutun; Persian: ‎, Old Persian: Bagastana, meaning "the place of god") is a multilingual inscription and large rock relief on a cliff at Mount Behistun in the Kermanshah Province of Iran, near the city of Kermanshah in western Iran, established by Darius the Great (r. 522–486 BC). It was crucial to the decipherment of cuneiform script as the inscription includes three versions of the same text, written in three different cuneiform script languages: Old Persian, Elamite, and Babylonian (a variety of Akkadian). The inscription is to cuneiform what the Rosetta Stone is to Egyptian hieroglyphs: the document most crucial in the decipherment of a previously lost script.

Authored by Darius the Great sometime between his coronation as king of the Persian Empire in the summer of 522 BC and his death in autumn of 486 BC, the inscription begins with a brief autobiography of Darius, including his ancestry and lineage. Later in the inscription, Darius provides a lengthy sequence of events following the deaths of Cyrus the Great and Cambyses II in which he fought nineteen battles in a period of one year (ending in December 521 BC) to put down multiple rebellions throughout the Persian Empire. The inscription states in detail that the rebellions, which had resulted from the deaths of Cyrus the Great and his son Cambyses II, were orchestrated by several impostors and their co-conspirators in various cities throughout the empire, each of whom falsely proclaimed kinghood during the upheaval following Cyrus's death.

Darius the Great proclaimed himself victorious in all battles during the period of upheaval, attributing his success to the "grace of Ahura Mazda".

The inscription is approximately 15 m (49 ft) high by 25 m (82 ft) wide and 100 m (330 ft) up a limestone cliff from an ancient road connecting the capitals of Babylonia and Media (Babylon and Ecbatana, respectively). The Old Persian text contains 414 lines in five columns; the Elamite text includes 593 lines in eight columns, and the Babylonian text is in 112 lines. The inscription was illustrated by a life-sized bas-relief of Darius I, the Great, holding a bow as a sign of kingship, with his left foot on the chest of a figure lying on his back before him. The supine figure is reputed to be the pretender Gaumata. Darius is attended to the left by two servants, and nine one-meter figures stand to the right, with hands tied and rope around their necks, representing conquered peoples. A Faravahar floats above, giving its blessing to the king. One figure appears to have been added after the others were completed, as was Darius's beard, which is a separate block of stone attached with iron pins and lead.”

(Please read from the start)

A translated section from the inscription:

“Darius also lists the territories under his rule:

King Darius says: These are the countries which are subject unto me, and by the grace of Ahuramazda I became king of them: Persia [Pârsa], Elam [Ûvja], Babylonia [Bâbiruš], Assyria [Athurâ], Arabia [Arabâya], Egypt [Mudrâya], the countries by the Sea [Tyaiy Drayahyâ], Lydia [Sparda], the Greeks [Yauna (Ionia)], Media [Mâda], Armenia [Armina], Cappadocia [Katpatuka], Parthia [Parthava], Drangiana [Zraka], Aria [Haraiva], Chorasmia [Uvârazmîy], Bactria [Bâxtriš], Sogdia [Suguda], Gandhara [Gadâra], Scythia [Saka], Sattagydia [Thataguš], Arachosia [Harauvatiš] and Maka [Maka]; twenty-three lands in all.”

And there is also this second source, to read carefully because of Vanderbilt University (this indirectly means cabal was trying to decipher the text – (((they))) were interested in it): https://www.ancient.eu/Behistun_Inscription/

It’s important to note “the countries by the Sea” = this refers to the Phoenician City-States, like Byblos, Tyr, Sidon, etc. But we will leave this for some other time. And of course, there is Armenia. Why is this important or relevant to my research? Because it is providing subtle information beyond the obvious ones: the Armenian Satrap couldn’t leave the territory for LONG. All of the Satraps were supposed to pay tribute to the Medes then the Persians. With the “political” instability and mostly the rebellion of some of the Satraps, it’s obvious the Armenian Satrap couldn’t leave for a very long period his Satrapy to travel all the way to Persia to pay the tribute.A subtle information which was backed up by the harsh and terrible winter of Armenia: they had a very narrow time window in which they could travel from and back Armenia without being trapped by the weather. So in an indirect way the Inscription of Behistun provided me with 2 clues:

1 – The means of travel shouldn’t consume too much time, it should be a “quick” method of traveling all of this distance, and this includes all types of people traveling, from the Satrap to traders.

2 – Armenia had “precious” merchandise (thought after) which was paid as tribute to the Achaemenid kings.

>>9208004

(Please read from the start)

This lead me to check what was THAT tribute and it lead me straight to Apadana East Stairs’ relief.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apadana

“Apadana […] is a large hypostyle hall, best said the great audience hall and portico at Persepolis and the palace of Susa. The Persepolis Apadana belongs to the oldest building phase of the city of Persepolis, the first half of the 6th century BC, as part of the original design by Darius the Great. Its construction completed by Xerxes I. Modern scholarship "demonstrates the metaphorical nature of the Apadana reliefs as idealised social orders".

“The Apadana was the largest building on the Terrace at Persepolis and was excavated by the German archaeologist Ernst Herzfeld and his assistant Friedrich Krefter, and Erich Schmidt, between 1931 and 1939. Important material relevant to the excavations are today housed in the archives of the Freer Gallery of Art in Washington, DC.

It was most likely the main hall of the kings. The columns reached 20m high and had complex capitals in the shape of bulls or lions. Here, the great king received the tribute from all the nations in the Achaemenid Empire, and gave presents in return.

Access to the hall is given by two monumental stairways, on the north and on the east. These are decorated by reliefs, showing delegates of the 23 subject nations of the Persian Empire paying tribute to Darius I, who is represented seated centrally. The various delegates are shown in great detail, giving insight into the costume and equipment of the various peoples of Persia in the 5th century BC. There are inscriptions in Old Persian and Elamite.”

On the East side of the Apadana staircase the Armenian delegation is represented. And what they paid as tribute was: HORSES and WINE. This archeological finding was supported by what was written in ancient sources (remember how I always say that the written source must fit the artifact and not the other way around?).

In his Cyropaedia (III), Xenophon mentions a dispute between the locals in Armenia which was resolved by King Cyrus. When reading this, many domesticated animals were mentioned, including the Armenian horse.

But the best confirmation came from Strabo, Geography (XI) who stated that Armenia had to pay as tribute of 20 thousand foals, that is 20 000 FOALS, PER YEAR to the Achaemenid king; for the Mithra festival held on the 25th of December each year. Ring a bell anyone? Please take NOTE for later.

Xenophon in his Anabasis (IV) supports Strabo’s words and adds that these foals were destined to the cult of the SUN. After extensive reading, I found out it was widely known through the ages and all the way up to modern times that Armenia was the “Land of horses”. It was famous for it.

Upon further digging, I found out that the prophet Ezekiel said in his lament of Tyr (XXVII,14) : “14The men of Beth-togarmah exchanged horses, war horses, and mules for your wares.” He says that Togarmah comes from the “extreme north”; combining this information with Armenia being known as the land of horses, we can say that “Beth Togarmah ( = house of Togarma) is a reference to Armenia. I will explain this further later on.

We shouldn’t forget the WINE we saw in the relief of Apadana, which I considered as the second Armenian merchandise. I did a lot of reading anons, and I found out that during the centuries the Armenian merchandise traded varied a bit depending on the age and time, but there were 3 MAJOR items which turned out to be consistent = the Armenian horses as I’ve just given an example of, the Armenian wine and animal skin and/or furs. These turned out to be the most famous, consistent Armenian trade items during the ages. And yes, they reached the shores of the East Med Sea. So I finally nailed the WHAT = the Armenian merchandise that reached the coast = HORSES, WINE & ANIMAL SKINS.

Anons, you will understand me more and more as I progress and you will understand why I’m leaving secondary research and details aside for now and going straight ahead to the Main GOAL.

- Page 10 -

>>9208077

(Please read from the start)

Since I knew the WHERE and the WHAT it was time to find out the HOW; how did they travel from the high plateau to the East coast of the Med Sea?

When trade is concerned, there are usually 3 ways of travel:

1 – By Air.

2 – By Land.

3 – By Water.

1 – Well, this one was quick and easy to solve: there were no flying machinery back then, so Air travel didn’t occur. This method of travel is easily eliminated.

2 – At first glance traveling by land is doable; all the travelers had to do is to follow the sun (during the day) and the stars (during the night) for directions. But upon looking further into this, I found out it’s not a favorable way of travel, despite the fact that it can be done. There were many disadvantages:

2A- The first disadvantage is the relief of Armenia itself; all of those mountains and valleys interlocked, creating a big maze as I’ve stated before. So instead of going through a straight walking line, the travelers will have to zigzag a lot, making the walking distance longer, more tiresome, and more time consuming – remember the Armenian satrap couldn’t leave his Satrapy for a long period of time because of revolt possibility. Apart that, anons should remember that BACK THEN, there were no paved road, no tarmac, no street lights….it was all mountain trails and dirt roads. Since Armenia is a mountainous country, we should add to the equation the terrain slides and soil movement, mostly after the snow melts. The plateau is volcanic in nature, so we shouldn’t rule out earthquakes as well.

2B- The second disadvantage is the weather. As stated before, the long, terrible and harsh Armenian winter narrows down the time window to travel (remember the tube like sticks mentioned in previous drop). But that was not the only problem the weather caused. Even during the “good season”, the plateau suffered from extreme temperatures during day and during night = freezing cold night and suffocating day heat with no humidity at all. And as mentioned before, there were violent gushes of wind. So even if it wasn’t winter, anons shouldn’t underestimate the harshness of the Armenian weather.

2C- The third disadvantage was the Armenian fauna; by that I mean the wild life. The Armenian plateau was the home of a varied and huge collection of wild life animals; from: bears, ducks, tigers, foxes, boars, owls, Lynx and other mountain cats, deer, eagles and wolves. There were also many poisonous types of snakes, scorpions and other little creepy creatures crawling everywhere. This is why the plateau was renowned for centuries as being a hunting destination for all royals from Mesopotamia and Persia. And this also explains the abundance of animal skins and furs for them to use in trade. Up till this day, Armenia has a skin/fur market.

- Page 11 –

>>9208086

(Please read from the start)

2D – The forth disadvantage is actually the flora; back then, Armenia was covered in many, many forests = home of the wild animals. Anons should know that a caravan walking through a forest infested with wild animals and camp there at night is not a very smart thing to do, mostly if you are transporting a big number of livestock, like the foals. Not to forget the potential risk of wild fires in the warm season.

2E – The fifth disadvantage was the “type” of merchandise itself. Well, it’s easy to transport the animal skins, all you have to do is to stack them one on top of the other on the back of a mule or horse and that would be it. The problem lies with the foals and the wine.

Horses, mostly foals, are not as easy to transport as anons think. Even the most trained horse can easily be frightened by lightning or by the howling of wolves, so imagine how young horses like the foals would react. Now just reread all the disadvantages I’ve just stated above and try to imagine a caravan of a 100 horses going through BY FOOT, a dense forest, or walking a very long distance under the extreme swinging temperatures, the territory traveled is infested with all sorts of wild animals and there are all kinds of unexpected “surprises” like earthquakes and terrain slides. And then ask yourself, how many of those 100 horses will survive and arrive to their final destination either if it was Persia or the East coast of the Med Sea. I say very few. Remember what Strabo said? He said the Armenians used to pay a tribute of 20 000 foals to the Persians….. So imagine transporting THAT HUGE NUMBER of foals in such disadvantages, not forgetting that foals are more susceptible to perish under these “natural” disadvantages than adult horses.

Same problem encountered with the Armenian wine. Back then to transport wine for trade, they used CLAY amphorae. When I say Amphora I don’t mean the small type like the one we saw on the relief in Apadana of the Armenian delegation. There are many, many shapes and sizes of Amphora, but the ones used to transport wine, oil and grain were big…. I mean big enough to be able to carry a rather big quantity of the product, but small enough for people to be able to lift them as well. It’s very easy to install one amphora on each side of horse or mule but we come back again to the “natural” disadvantages scaring the animal, making it panic and run, which could end up with the CLAY amphora being broken and/or the wine stirred. How many amphorae will make it to destination without breaking it or spoiling the wine? I’m not a wine expert, but I’ve heard wine shouldn’t be stirred much. Anyone in the domain would like to comment about this and enlighten me a bit more about wine?

So you see anons, travel by land is doable, but it has many, many disadvantages. This option, way of travel, made me wince. I was not comfortable with it. Too many holes to plug, sort of speak = risk factor is way too high. And we shouldn’t forget the travelers and traders had a narrow time window to travel within, so they had to “get out” and then “get in” as fast as possible. Travel by land takes too much time and had too many hurdles to tackle.

I still have to check the third way of travel = Water.

3- This method of travel can be divided into 2 subgroups as well:

3A- Travel by sea was not possible from the Armenian plateau since it had no direct access to any sea. Some may argue that they could have traveled to the shores of the Black Sea and then taken sail from there, passed the Bosporus & Dardanelles straits, go through the Aegean Sea then head straight to the East Coast of the Med Sea. Well, that is doable, it’s possible, but the travelers must pass the Pontic mountain range first in order to reach the shores of the Black Sea….Here again, we face the same disadvantages I mentioned when I talked about travel by Land. So this also made me wince.

3B- The remaining way of travel to check upon is FLUVIAL. Armenia has many rivers, the most famous 3 are the Araxes, the Tigris and the Euphrates. The Araxes is not going in the direction of the East Coast of the Med Sea (=westward); as a matter of fact, it’s flowing in the opposite direction (= eastward). This one was quickly eliminated.

The Tigris River is not practical for downstream navigation because of its tumultuous “course” and mostly the violence of its current. From the beginning of times all the way up to our modern times, the Tigris is famous for the speed of its current, making it very difficult to steer boats. Thus it’s gotten its name (as some believe) from the Medes, meaning = ARROW. We got to add to it the risk of drowning = the violent current easily drags away anyone or anything – even in modern day times. I believe anons should remember this disaster from last year.

My condolences.

So it’s not “practical”, nor “safe” to transport horses or wine amphorae in such tumultuous waters. The risk factor is high, even if you are a tough guy whom can handle the navigation on the Tigris River.

This leaves me with the Euphrates; which was a navigable river, as attested in many old and modern sources. It is important to note that the Euphrates River, just like its companion the Tigris River, has its sources located in the Armenian plateau – the main tributary is located at west base of Mount Ararat (= the Murat Su), which is later on joined by a second tributary (= the Kara Su) in the vicinity of Erzurum.

Upon studying the map and the path of the Euphrates, I found 2 possible routes that can lead the travelers from the River to the East coast of the Med Sea. But I also found out 2 other routes that lead to some interesting places. I will be talking about all 4 of them right now:

A – Routes from the Euphrates leading to the East Coast of the Med Sea:

1 - When we look at any map, we can see the Euphrates making an “elbow” shape turn just after entering Syria, on the latitude of Aleppo. This is the closest that any traveler from the Plateau can get to the coast via the Euphrates. It’s so close to Aleppo that any traveler, including trade caravans can reach the city easily. Anons shouldn’t forget that Aleppo is one of the oldest cities in the world and a trade center as old as the city. Once the Armenian traders reached Aleppo, it’s so easy to reach the East Coast of the Med Sea and go all the way down to every port on the coastline. See Euphrates Map 1.

2 - If the travelers choose to continue their journey downstream river, they can reach the latitude of Bagdad, which was close to the ancient “Silk Road” = the famous caravan road that came all the way from China & India, to sell their goods to the East Coast of the Med Sea. Once in Bagdad, it won’t be much of a hassle for the Armenian traders to join the caravans departing from Bagdad to Damascus (or any other city) and from Damascus to any port city-state. See Euphrates Map 2.

Before I move onto the next point, I want to make a couple of things clear.

First, I randomly choose Bagdad and Damascus in my example just now. The Silk Road itinerary did change during history; Bagdad and Damascus are the closes to the middle line between the maximum northern itinerary and the maximum southern itinerary….They are more or less like the middle line, that’s why I picked them up for my example. If anons want to dig about it, this is one heck of a tunnel to dive into.

Secondly, depending on the era, the Silk Road was considered more or less a “secured” road to travel on. The disadvantages I’ve talked about previously can be reduced to 4 : the extreme temperatures, mostly the difference between the day and night. The sand storm which did occur from time to time. The poisonous animals, from snakes to scorpions. And lastly, occasional thieves. But this “Silk Road” was a big source of revenue or a big profit maker for the rulers of the land, no matter how the border lines changed. So most of the time, there were posts or famous camping sites near wells or oasis to station/shelter at during a sand storm; or simply take a rest and replenish water supplies. As for the thieves, since this was lucrative to the rulers (most of the time), they thought of sending troops to patrol the area where the caravans crossed. Not all did that, but some did. Besides, the traders in such caravans were veterans and tough men in order to travel all of this distance and withstand natural and human dangers. They were well equipped.

B - Routes that lead to some interesting places:

Even though this was not included as my research goal, I couldn’t help but look a bit into it back then because of what they represent:

1 – Instead of going westward after reaching Bagdad, the travelers could have turned eastwards and headed straight into Persia. At least, now I know how those 20 000 foals, mentioned by Strabo got there for the Mithra Festival. And, back then, I didn’t check if there were any other itineraries heading out from the Armenian plateau towards Persia (maybe via the Caspian sea) since it was not my research objective; but it’s worth looking at for those who are interested in this type of research. See Euphrates Map 3.

- Page 14 –

>>9208140

(Please read from the start)

2 – There is also this forth itinerary that caught my attention and interest: the Armenian caravan could have easily gone south, south-east and reached… when I realized WHERE IT REACHED. I thought to myself: “could it be? Is it possible?” I wonder if those of you whom are veterans in history and those who have dug in the alternative history realized just now what I have realized back then? Take note of this anons, I will get back to this point soon. See Euphrates Map 4.

Each reader has his own opinion, but for me, everything is pointing that the Armenian traders which came down from the plateau via the Euphrates must have taken, most probably, the first itinerary to reach the coastline the fastest way – See Euphrates Map 1 – and make it back to the Armenian Highlands fast, before winter settled in. After determining the 2 itineraries from the Euphrates to the East Coast of the Med Sea (Euphrates Maps 1 & 2), all I had to research is the type of vessel (boats in our case here) used to navigate on the Euphrates from the Armenian plateau.

My initial thoughts were that I would find something like a raft, big and strong enough to carry the weight of the travelers and the merchandise without capsizing. But I ran into something totally different.

I found what I was looking for in something called Kuphar, Quffa or Guffa. Plenty of photographic evidence.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuphar

“A kuphar (also transliterated kufa, kuffah, quffa, quffah, etc.[1]) is a type of coracle or round boat traditionally used on the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in ancient and modern Mesopotamia. Its circular shape means that it does not sail well against the current, as it tends to spin, but makes it safe, sturdy and easy to construct. A kuphar is propelled by rowing or poling.”

“The word "kuphar" is derived from the Arabic word quffa (), meaning a basket woven from reeds and leaves. The boat visually resembles a basket and is used for a similar purpose: transporting fruits, vegetables, and other goods.[4] The Arabic word in turn originated from the Akkadian word quppu, meaning basket.”

>> Notice Akkadian.

(Please read from the start)

“Reliefs depicting kuphars have been found in Assyrian ruins dating to the reigns of Kings Ashurnasirpal II (883 to 859 BCE), Sennacherib (705 to 681 BCE), and Ashurbanipal (668 to 627 BCE), who reigned during the 9th, 8th, and 7th centuries BCE, respectively.[2]:130 A translation of a tablet found by an amateur historian places the kuphar's origin even further in the past, in the Old Babylonian period (c.1830–1531 BCE), although this translation is disputed.[5]

But that which surprises me most in the land, after the city itself, I will now proceed to mention. The boats which come down the river to Babylon are circular, and made of skins. The frames, which are of willow, are cut in the country of the Armenians above Assyria, and on these, which serve for hulls, a covering of skins is stretched outside, and thus the boats are made, without either stem or stern, quite round like a shield. They are then entirely filled with straw, and their cargo is put on board, after which they are suffered to float down the stream. Their chief freight is wine, stored in casks made of the wood of the palm-tree. They are managed by two men who stand upright in them, each plying an oar, one pulling and the other pushing. The boats are of various sizes, some larger, some smaller; the biggest reach as high as five thousand talents' burthen. Each vessel has a live ass on board; those of larger size have more than one. When they reach Babylon, the cargo is landed and offered for sale; after which the men break up their boats, sell the straw and the frames, and loading their asses with the skins, set off on their way back to Armenia. The current is too strong to allow a boat to return upstream, for which reason they make their boats of skins rather than wood. On their return to Armenia they build fresh boats for the next voyage.

— Herodotus

Five thousand Greek talents would be 143 tons (130 tonnes). This is likely an exaggeration, although carvings of large kuphars carrying cut stones have been found in Assyrian ruins. These large kuphars were propelled by four rowers and relied partially on inflated hide sacks attached port and starboard to stay afloat.[7] More reliable and recent analyses have determined that the largest ancient kuphar measured 18 feet (5.5 m) in diameter and could transport up to 16 tons.[8]:86

There were two major forms of construction used — hides stretched over a framework, as described by Herodotus, and woven bundles of reeds or basketry, waterproofed with bitumen. Boats of this sort were still used in modern times, being described by British ethnographer James Hornell in The Coracles of the Tigris and Euphrates (1938).”

“A Babylonian cuneiform tablet on display at the British Museum suggests that Noah's Ark may have been a large kuphar.[10] This tablet was translated by professor Irving Finkel and found to contain an ancient flood narrative that may have inspired the story of Noah's Ark.[11] Following his translation, professor Finkel organized the construction of a large vessel of this kind, though he claimed that his 35 tonne ship was a scaled-down version of the full-sized ark.[12] Finkel attempted to launch his "ark" in Kerala, India, in 2014, but was unsuccessful. He attributed the failed launch of his double-decker vessel to the low quality of bitumen available in the area.[13][12]

The tablet describes the flood myth of Atrahasis, a Babylonian hero who built an ark to shelter life from a flood of a divine origin that is thought to have started as a river flood.[12] This ark was, according to the legend described on the tablet, a large kuphar, with either one or two decks, and a total deck area of 14,400 cubits2 (3600 m2). Noah's Ark is traditionally described as having a similar deck plan and a nearly identical deck area of 15,000 cubits2 (a difference of 4%). This has led Finkel to conclude that "the iconic story of the Flood, Noah, and the Ark as we know it today certainly originated in the landscape of ancient Mesopotamia, modern Iraq."[14][12]

Some evidence has been found of Neo-Assyrian legends depicting infants being cast adrift in kuphars on the river, similar to how baby Moses was cast adrift in a basket in the Book of Exodus.[15] This has led some scholars to conclude that the basket that Moses was set adrift in on the Nile may have in fact been a kuphar.”

Next I’m going to dismantle what the MAIN STREAM HISTORY has written about it and show anons how (((THEY))) twisted history in order to hide a SECRET. Recently, this secret, lead me to another secret, a big secret, which in turn, lead me to a bigger secret, so on, and then I ended up with the biggest secret.

Do anons know the Matryoshka doll? Well, this turned out to be one, but in reverse, instead of going from the big doll to the smallest one, I started with the smallest to end up with the biggest. Anons will understand me more as I go down this rabbit hole.

The wikipedia page about the Kuphar is a field covered with land mines. (((They))) don’t want us to cross this field and find out what’s on the other side of it. So let me tackle this by starting to say that any boat, no matter what it’s shaped, won’t sail WELL if it didn’t have any oars or at least a rudder. This is the first misleading piece of info in this wikipedia page.

After examining old and new photos and footages of the Euphrates River’s current, it’s clear that all the Kuphar users needed were long oars, just like what we see in the photographic evidence that we have from early XXth century A.D. The current of the Euphrates River takes the Kuphar downstream “naturally”, so all the travelers had to do is to let themselves be carried away by the current. No need of any type of propeller. They simply needed oars long enough to push the Kuphar away from a boulder or the edges of the river = using the oars as batons, to avoid collision. Or if they needed to reach the shores of the river, then they would “row” their way there, going sideways. So no, the Armenian traders didn’t row themselves all of the way from the Armenian plateau down to Mesopotamia like what is insinuated in Wikipedia. It was more or less like an effortless, smooth ride than an exhausting one with loads of physical labor.

Another landmine: Again, I would like anons to take note of the AKKADIAN origin of the word Kuphar. It’s also important to note this “basket” image projected in wikipedia, making it sound like it’s not strong enough to carry much weight. Well, anons, just take a look at the pictures from early XXth century; then tell me, how much do these men in the Kuphar weight according to you? Isn’t the load heavy? So even if this Kuphar is like a “basket” it’s solid enough to keep afloat with the weight of so many men and sail them safely. In other words, if this Kuphar could carry so many men, in one go, it could also carry a couple of traders with a couple of mules and wine amphorae or foals.

So far, (((they))) don’t want us to know that the Kuphar is safe to navigate down the Euphrates and (((they))) don’t want us to know it can carry weight despite the fact it’s made of light material.

Next is the historical part about the Kuphar: they said the Kuphar was used during the Assyrian & even Babylonian period, but this is disputed. It is not disputed. (((They))) only want you to think it’s disputed. It turned out to be much much older than this. Remember what I keep on saying about the text matching the archeological artifact and not the other way around? Well anons, there is this CLAY WARE in the Louvre Museum, from Cyprus, and dating back from around 2300-2000 BC. Not my words anons, just take a look at this:

https://www.louvre.fr/en/oeuvre-notices/model-boat-figures

What do you think anons? Is this a Kuphar or not? Sorry, I don’t believe the “disputed text” but I do believe what my eyes see and tell me this is a Kuphar we have and it goes all the way back to the Bronze Age. Anons, please do take notice of the details, the” woven basket” like design but mostly the shape of the heads of the passengers = ALL 8 of them. How they sat on the periphery of the Kuphar. This is very very interesting, because it made me think that the travelers could put the merchandise in the middle of the boat = the center of the circle and they, the travelers, could sit on the periphery and use the oars if they are about to collide with the edge of the river. This is where I’ve started to believe that the circular shape of the Kuphar was intentional, it was an advantage, not a handicap like what (((they))) want us to believe in this Wikipedia page.

Well anons, I also landed on Herodotus, specifically this passage mentioned in Wikipedia. Did anyone notice Herodotus just confirmed that the Kuphar was used by ancient Armenians to come down from the plateau to Mesopotamia to sell their merchandise? If they reached Mesopotamia using the Kuphar to navigate the Euphrates, then they could also use it to reach the latitude of Aleppo and then go by land to the Coast using those mules, ass or jackasses mentioned. Yes, it’s very doable and most importantly, it’s less time consuming. The river makes them win time by shortening the traveling distance and the water current is like a natural propeller making it faster than walking on foot. Being on a Kuphar is less tiresome than walking and it keeps the merchandise steady and safe from all the disadvantages I’ve mentioned before, mostly the wild animals. If you think about it, they truly don’t need to camp on the river banks at all, just take turns in sleeping and navigating while staying on the Kuphar. I don’t know exactly how long it takes, but everything is pointing out that the travelers can reach Mesopotamia in a few days via the Kuphar, instead of weeks via walking themselves there.

Herodotus did provide us with further details about the materials the Kuphar was constructed with and how the travelers returned = this time by land via donkeys. So in other words, they went down via the Kuphar from the plateau and returned there using donkeys because the Euphrates current is a one way flow. And very interestingly Herodotus mentions there are different sizes of Kuphar used. Well that makes sense: if one is selling only animals skins, they don’t need a big Kuphar to come down from the plateau with the merchandise.

Then, in the Wikipedia article, they try to cast shade on Herodotus words by saying he exaggerated with the weight a Kuphar can carry. Well, maybe, maybe not. But you see, what they said next in Wikiepdia is true: when they mentioned that there are some Assyrian bas reliefs. Just take a look for yourselves anons. What do your eyes see in those boats? Aren’t these cut stones stacked inside a Kuphar? I personally don’t care how much weight the Kuphar can carry, as long as it can carry it. If it’s 9 tones or 20 tones it doesn’t make a difference for me, as long as it can carry big weights it means it can carry the wine amphorae and the foals. So you see anons, here again, the text (of Herodotus) matches the archeological findings.

- Page 19 –

>>9208218

(Please read from the start)

Another detail given by Herodotus which turned out to be factual is the use of Bitumen or simply Asphalt to coat the Kuphar with. Don’t forget anons, Armenia is a volcanic Plateau, there are plenty of Asphalt there. The natural bitumen I’m putting the picture of is found in big quantities in even modern day Armenia. When I went there, I asked my guide to show me some and he did. We simply drove to the place and we parked on the side of the road, got out of the car, walked a couple of meters and I started seeing those black bitumen rocks scatted everywhere like black gem stones. The place was covered with them.

You see anons, Herodotus text from “The Histories” (I) does match not just the archeological artifacts but also geological facts about Armenia = the Bitumen. Apart the probably weight exaggeration (it’s possible), I say most of what he reported is accurate. I personally trust 90 % of what he wrote about the Kuphar.

So for me, I’m very convinced that the Armenian traders used the Kuphar to transport their merchandise down the Euphrates River and then followed the road from Aleppo latitude to reach the East coast of the Med Sea. See Euphrates River Map 1.

I know there might be some anons out there reading this whom are still not convinced by the use of the Kuphar by the Armenians to come down from the plateau. Well, this is easily solved by a suggestion of mine: LET’S DO IT = in archeology the best way to clear an uncertain point is to redo the experiment ourselves. I’ve said many times that archeologists are exactly like forensic scientists and this is so true. When we reach a point in our research where we need more “clarity” and we are not certain of the results a 100%, we actually do the experiment ourselves – just like what you see in the TV series called S.C.I. In this specific case, we should rebuilt a Kuphar ourselves just like mentioned by Herodotus, then put wine amphorae in it and navigate down from the plateau on the Euphrates. It’s going to need patronage but it’s an experiment that can be done. So what the results are going to turn out to be anons? I don’t doubt it myself, for me it’s clear. It’s not going to be hard to prove this by doing the experiment.

Now the next part of the Kuphar in Wikipedia – Biblical significance – when they mention Professor Irving Finkel. This professor’s work on the supposed Babylonian tablet was not around when I was conducting my own research decades ago. So when I recently learned about him I decided to go check him out and his tablet.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irving_Finkel

“Dr Irving Leonard Finkel (born 1951) is a British philologist and Assyriologist. He is currently the Assistant Keeper of Ancient Mesopotamian script, languages and cultures in the Department of the Middle East in the British Museum, where he specialises in cuneiform inscriptions on tablets of clay from ancient Mesopotamia.”

>> Incredible pedigree at first sight, but then many red flags starts pop all over. Here are a few of them:

“Finkel was born in 1951.[2] He earned a PhD in Assyriology from the University of Birmingham under the supervision of Wilfred G. Lambert with a dissertation on Babylonian exorcistic spells against demons.”

>> Incredible how it’s always the “exorcistic spells against demons” that attract scientists with high pedigree like this professor.

- Page 20 –

>>9208228

(Please read from the start)

“In 2014, Finkel's study of a cuneiform tablet that contained a Flood narrative similar to that of the story of Noah's Ark, described in his book The Ark Before Noah, was widely reported in the news media.[5][6] The ark described in the tablet was circular, essentially a very large coracle or kuphar and made of rope on a wooden frame. The tablet included sufficient details of its dimensions and construction to enable a copy of the ark to be made at about 1/3 scale and successfully floated, as documented in a 2014 TV documentary Secrets of Noah's Ark that aired as an episode of PBS's NOVA series.[7]

Finkel is an Honorary Member of the Institute of Archaeology and Antiquity of the University of Birmingham and a Council Member of the Anglo-Israel Archaeology Society.”

>> I’m NOT so sure about his findings, or about that “incredible” cuneiform tablet of his. It’s too “clean” anons, way too “clean”, mostly that crack. And of course, he gotta be a member of the Anglo ISRAEL archeology society. Why is this important? Well, maybe because they are part of the mafia archeologists group that falsifies artifacts and plant them in digging sites (mostly in Israel) as one big con job. Yeah, I know their methods very well.

“Among his breakthrough works is the determination of the rules of the Royal Game of Ur.”

>> UR!!!…..Incredible!….Isn’t that where Abraham came from?

“Finkel founded the Great Diary Project, a project to preserve the diaries of ordinary people. In association with the Bishopsgate Institute, Finkel has helped to archive over 2,000 personal diaries. In 2014, the V&A Museum of Childhood held an exhibition of the diaries of children written between 1813 and 1996.”

“Finkel has written a number of works of fiction for children.”

>> I found his hobby of writing children’s book very odd. I’m an archeologist as well, if I wanted to write a book, children’s books are the last category of books I would be thinking of writing.

“Finkel was raised as an Orthodox Jew but became an atheist as a teenager.”

>> I don’t think I need to comment on this part, do I anons?

Anons, for me, just by looking at him and his tablet, this supposed professor is nothing but a paid fraud here to muddy the waters. All the attention his work got, just to prove that the Ark was circular, like a giant Kuphar… Someone was backing him up. And like what I just said, this professor is a plant put in place to muddy the water and try to DISTORT history. They are trying to manipulate us AGAIN by trying to convince us with fake evidences that Noah’s ark was circular in form and NOT elongated. And Qteam proved him wrong, not me. Anons will understand me better when I get to that part. Just be patient with me a bit longer till I finish with this, I don’t want to leave any loose ends before I get to other parts.

Anons can read all they want about Irving Finkel online, plenty of articles and publicity about him and his precious tablet, which got displayed at the British Museum apparently.

- Page 21 –

>>9208238

(Please read from the start)

And of course the last part of the Biblical significance part of the Kuphar in Wikipedia hints to Moses and the basket he was found it. Incredible how (((they))) like to use one’s faith to get them believe whatever (((they))) write. There is no evidence of any type suggesting Moses’ basket was a small kuphar, nor any type of evidence suggesting it wasn’t. So to bring this issue up and rub it in our faces this way; makes me wonder what (((their))) aim is in all of this.

In the last section of Kuphar in Wikipedia, the coracles are mentioned as being a post-form of its ancestor the Kuphar. So before moving on, I would like to check the Coracle.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coracle

“The coracle is a small, rounded,[1] lightweight boat of the sort traditionally used in Wales, and also in parts of the West Country and in Ireland, particularly the River Boyne,[2] and in Scotland, particularly the River Spey. The word is also used of similar boats found in India, Vietnam, Iraq and Tibet.[3] The word "coracle" is an English spelling of the original Welsh cwrwgl, cognate with Irish and Scottish Gaelic currach, and is recorded in English text as early as the sixteenth century. Other historical English spellings include corougle, corracle, curricle and coricle.”

This is an interesting reading as well, and of course, Professor Irving Finkel is right in the middle of the theory of Noah’s ark was a huge coracle, thanks to his incredible gift of deciphering that amazing cuneiform tablet. Sorry if I sound sarcastic a bit in here anons. You will understand me in the next segment.

Before I head there, I want to point out there I noticed how many articles and research there is out there about the Coracle, and most “sound fun”. Which got me scratching my head: if you compare the “tone” in the coracle articles to that of the Kuphar articles. It’s like they are insinuating the first one is cool while the second is uncool; as if they want to divert our attention from the Kuphar to the Coracle.

I’ve found some articles just for those who like to read as a sport but what caught my attention is the British at the turn of the century, they were quite fond of the coracle. Here again, just like in the inscription of Behistun, I had this feeling of cabal finding the same stuff that I have, but a century or so before I did.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/23Fbd5ybr2CFG9BWYYZ7MZh/coracles-the-surprising-history-of-britain-s-strangest-boat

https://www.nature.com/articles/143224c0

I’m just putting these up as samples, there are plenty like them. What is important is the notion of those “basket boats” existing, for me the details and the up and downs don’t interest me that much at this point of the research. I’ve also tried to locate/pin on a World Map where we found coracles/Kuphar. I anons found more location, please feel free to add them to the map and share it with us.

Back then, I didn’t have internet info/access as I do right now, so I did everything manually and I had to read everything from books and look for the photographs and maps from the archives, magazines and papers. Most of the modern day books I’ve read back then all referred to one specific book called: “Histoire du peuple Arménien”; written by Jacques De Morgan. Did the Last Name ring a bell for anons? You hit the bull’s-eye if you think he is from the Morgan bloodline family, because he is.

READ CAREFULLY PLEASE.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacques_de_Morgan

“Jean-Jacques de Morgan (3 June 1857, Huisseau-sur-Cosson, Loir-et-Cher – 14 June 1924) [1] was a French mining engineer,[2] geologist, and archaeologist. He was the director of antiquities in Egypt during the 19th century,[3] and excavated in Memphis and Dashur, providing many drawings of many Egyptian pyramids. He also worked at Stonehenge, and Persepolis, and many other sites.

He also went to Russian Armenia, as manager of a copper mine at Akhtala. "The Caucasus is of special interest in the study of the origins of metals; it is the easternmost point from which prehistoric remains are known; older than Europe and Greece, it still retains the traces of those civilizations that were the cradle of our own."

In 1887-89 he unearthed 576 graves around Alaverdi and Akhatala, near the Tiflis-Alexandropol railway line.”

“His father Eugène, also called "Baron" de Morgan, was an engineer in mineral findings. His interests were in entomology and prehistory. He named his two sons, Henry and Jacques. His sons later got into fieldwork, excavating the Campigny faults near Rouen with him, which had lent its name to the first phase of the European Neolithic. With his father Jacques became acquainted with Gabriel de Mortillet, who was connected with the museum of national antiquities in Saint-Germain during investigations of Merovingian cemeteries, and who showed him how to catalogue excavated objects. De Morgan's goal was to be a professional geologist like his father, and his personal lifestyle had given him a way to travel and study since his early youth. In 1879 he started to publish the results of his research, illustrated with drawings that were notable for their finesse and documentary precision.”

“De Morgan travelled to Susiana as he attempted to retrace the routes of the Assyrian campaigns in Elam. He arrived in Susa, former capital of Elam, which had been explored six years previously by an expedition led by Marcel Dieulafoy. As he explored the ruins outside the small village of Shush, his curiosity was aroused by the high mound known as "the Citadel", at the foot of which he recovered some flints and old potsherds.

These finds led him to reopen excavations at the site. In Tehran he confided his plans to the French minister, René de Balloy, who was eager to obtain a monopoly for France of archaeological research in Persia. It took time, however, before these efforts, under de Morgan's guidance, were successful. In the meantime he published his Mission scientifique en Perse, with four volumes of geological studies; two volumes of archaeological studies on tombs and other monuments that were still seen; one volume dedicated to Kurdish dialects and the languages of northern Persia; one volume of Mandaean texts; and two volumes of geographical studies.

“ The excavations at Susa were headed by Jacques de Morgan in 1897 and carried on by others until the outbreak of World War I. Among their many discoveries are eight perforated plaques, three of them whole or nearly whole, and the rest fragmentary.[9]

”

The most important find, however, was the famous Victory Stele of Naram-Sin, brought to Susa as war booty by the Elamite king Shutruk-Nahhunte.”

Anons, just look at the places he went to and where he worked =The pyramids, Elam, Persia, Armenia and the cherry on top of the cake was Stonehenge. He was on a mission, he was searching for something, and I believe he found it. He got the answers he was looking for. Really ? And I’m curious to know if he was also prospecting for oil in the Middle East. When was Standard oil established again? What are the odds of cabal Middle Eastern plans being put in place back then? And this Jacques bloodline guy had a double mission: not just archeological discoveries for cabal, but he is most probably providing them with geological data of the region, mostly where the oil is.

His book about the history of the Armenian people is to be read with extreme caution. In the first chapter of this book of his, he totally dismissed in a couple of lines the navigation on Euphrates while flowing in the Armenian Highlands. His excuse was that the current was too rough, there are a lot of boulders and there are waterfalls, mostly when you enter Syria. So according to him, the only navigation possible is from a place from the latitude of Aleppo all the way down to the South-East. Hearing of waterfalls, I thought at first he was talking about something like the Niagara’s falls, but most turned out to be small falls, the type of falls similar of what we have on the Nile = the cataracts. If ancient Egyptians could navigate through the Nile’s cataracts, it means navigation can also be done on the Euphrates River. And on top of everything, even though he cites Herodotus and the Anabasis, De Morgan only picks up the passages from these texts that suit him, dismissing the information I’ve mentioned before. No mention of any archeological artifact and no mention how the Armenian merchandise reached the shores of the Med Sea. In the first chapter, he is supposedly going through Armenia’s geography, but it’s just scrambled eggs for the reader. He jumps from one historical period to another in such a way that the reader can get easily confused; going from the Elamites, to the Crusades, to the Assyrians, to the Romans, to the Ottomans, to the Medes etc. Mixing the names of everything and everyone of all the periods in one big pot. This is geography we are talking about, honest physical geography, not a novel. So why scramble everything and confuse the reader?

Anons, I don’t believe the so called waterfalls are something that stopped the travelers from the plateau from navigating on the Euphrates while it was still on the Armenian Highland. If there was a waterfall, the travelers would just disembark, cross that section on foot, and then embark again, going downstream. Even by doing this, they still traveled safer and faster via the Kuphar than by foot. If it was done on the Nile, it could have been done on the Euphrates as well. Modern day technology helped me take a look at the Euphrates River as it flows on the highland (taking in consideration the recent dams built). I saw nothing that would HALT or OBSTRUCT travelers on their journey. Sure there are BUMPS and a bit of inconveniences that can be overcomed, mostly if you are a veteran traveler, but this doesn’t mean the Euphrates flowing in the Armenian Highland is not navigable. And to make it worse, it seems most modern day historians writing about Armenia, didn’t even bother to check this Jacques guy and simply took his word for it and kept on using him as source and reference for their books.

If anons are still doubting about this issue, I repeat myself: LET’S DO IT, let’s navigate on the Euphrates from the plateau all the way down to Bagdad. This should put away all doubts about this issue.

At this stage in the research, multiple questions kept of bothering me = Why totally dismiss this? Why did De Morgan use the tactic: Look here not there? What did he found out? WHAT ARE (((THEY))) HIDDING? WHAT IS IT (((THEY))) DON’T US TO FIND OUT ABOUT? If anons look at this, it’s just a stupid circular basket boat that came down from the Armenian Highlands, so why put all of this effort to make it sound insignificant, take the spotlight from it, HIDE IT? And remember, back then, when I was doing my research, this professor Finkel was nowhere around. I finally got my answer when I landed on the ARK.

I believe anons caught up on this when I put that Wikipedia page about the Kuphar. Yes, it’s about an ARK located on Mt. Ararat on the Armenian plateau. A lot call it Noah’s Ark, so I will go with that name for it.

A lot was written about this, big news in the newspapers, documentaries, expeditions, big headlines. They have “discovered” it, then “debunked” it and “rediscovered”, then “redebunked” so many times over the decades that I fell out of interest in it. Anons can read about this online, but mostly in old newspapers. This has been proven then debunked multiple times, just as many times as the shroud of Turin. The media and the printing business played a huge role, mostly in “debunking” the theory of this being Noah’s Ark. One of the many hurdles I had to tackle from the get go when I came to this place to post, was how do I prove this to anons. And to make it worse, I had that professor Finkel to deal with on top of everything. What could I have said that made anons believe this is the real thing, the real deal and it was not debunked as (((they))) claim it is? It’s one of the reasons why I hesitated this long before coming out and talking about all of this.

Well, let’s just say a little “miracle” happened and this came out not long ago:

Authored by Robert Jay Watson via The Epoch Times,

The search for one of the most legendary boats of human history has made a potential breakthrough as multiple teams of scientists have zeroed in on a curious ship-shaped rise on Mt. Ararat in Turkey. The story of Noah’s Ark and the great flood that covered the earth, echoed in the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh, has long fascinated archaeologists who have wondered if remnants of the boat are still to be found.

Satellite images, radiocarbon dating, and most recently, 3D scans of the site known as Durupınar have all given hope to researchers that solid evidence of the Ark may soon be found. “It’s a man-made object and it’s a ship form,” computer engineer and biblical researcher Andrew Jones told WZTV,

As per the description of Genesis 8:4, “And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat,” researchers have investigated the site, which lies around 2,000 meters (6,560 feet) above sea level and was first identified by a Turkish cartographer in 1959.

The location of the real Noah's Ark may have been confirmed by relic-hunters in a remote mountain range in eastern Turkey, with experts claiming images "show the entire ship buried underground."

Posted by Fox News on Thursday, November 21, 2019

The Durupınar formation is about 18 miles (29 kilometers) south of the summit of Mt. Ararat, which reaches up to 16,854 feet. After its discovery was announced in 1959, it generated enthusiasm among ark seekers around the world, including Tennessee biblical researcher Ron Wyatt. Today, the site is labeled Nuhun Gemisi (Noah’s Ship) by mapmakers and continues to generate interest.

“We’re not going to find a sign that says, ‘made by Noah and sons,’ but what other ship would it be on the side of a hill at 6,500-foot elevation in the mountains of Ararat?” Andrew Jones told WZTV. In the Bible, God tells Noah very specifically how to build the Ark and these details have aided researchers in their quest.

This could be huge!”

Genesis 6:15 states, “This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high.” These dimensions, as per the best guesses archaeologists have made about the length of a “cubit,” would yield a ship that was 540 feet long, 37.5 feet high, and 75 feet wide.

This size corresponds to the strange, seemingly buried object found in the rise at Durupınar, according to ark hunters. While in previous attempts to find evidence they produced wooden samples from the site that were dated to 4,800 years old with radiocarbon dating, they are now trying to produce an image of what’s buried inside the mound.

Using a technique called “electrical resistivity,” Jones and others on his team have been trying to produce a quality 3-D image to counter skeptics.

“If you shoot an electrical current below the ground and it hits a pocket of air, that has a different type of conductivity versus something like water or rock,” Jones explains. “So, the software can interpret the signals coming back and create a 3-D image.”

Besides the dimensions, which appear to correspond to the ark specifications, Jones claims to have seen other details that match the design. As Genesis 6:16 says, “Make a roof for it, leaving below the roof an opening one cubit high all around. Put a door in the side of the ark and make lower, middle and upper decks.

Jones claims that images have shown just this. They have seen “[a] perfectly preserved hull below the ground. Petrified, solid, hull of a ship and three different layers, just like The Bible says.” The next step would be to get authorization from Turkish authorities to start excavations.

Besides the evidence of the Ark itself, researchers seeking to prove that Noah’s story has basis in archaeological evidence have also looked at the flood itself. A group of researchers led by British archaeologist Chris Turney found solid evidence for a flood that covered the land between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean over 8,300 years ago.

“We looked at all the earliest data on farming in Europe and we found a little bit of farming in Greece and the Balkans just before the flood,” Turney explained to Reuters.

“When the flood happened, farming seemed to stop but it was re-established a generation later across Europe.”

The findings seem to indicate a large number of people displaced from their homes by the waters.

For those that lived in this part of the Fertile Crescent, “it would have seemed like the whole world had flooded,” Turney said.”

Anons can check this out themselves. I’ve taken a look back in time, in recent times that is and I discovered that there had been multiple attempts, mostly over the few last years to get this story out. And I strongly believe it’s either by Potus/Qteam or by the alliance. Here are some stuff about it. The notable things are the dates these were published and the fossils, mostly maritime fossils:

https://answersingenesis.org/noahs-ark/noahs-ark-found/noahs-ark-mount-ararat/

https://www.ancient-origins.net/human-origins-religions/evidence-noah-s-ark-landed-mountain-17-miles-south-ararat-009725

As I just said, I found many attempts of disclosing this to the public over the decades as I rewind things and went back in modern times. Each time the “tada” moment comes, the media kills the momentum of the story and then it gets buried and forgotten. At this point old thoughts came back to me; the ones I had from when I was looking at the Euphrates River Map 4 = COULD IT POSSIBLE THE SUMERIANS CAME OUT FROM THE ARK? These thoughts kept on bugging me. We know people used the kuphar to come down from the Armenian Highlands ever since the early Bronze Age (I didn’t write all of that to anons for nothing) and instead of going West or East, they could have simply continued South-East and established on the shores just where the Euphrates and Tigris rivers get closer to one another.

“In his 1976 book The Twelfth Planet, Russian-American author Zecharia Sitchin claimed that the Anunnaki were actually an advanced humanoid extraterrestrial species from the undiscovered planet Nibiru, who came to Earth around 500,000 years ago and constructed a base of operations in order to mine gold after discovering that the planet was rich in the precious metal.[69][70][72] According to Sitchin, the Anunnaki hybridized their species and Homo erectus via in vitro fertilization in order to create humans as a slave species of miners.[69][70][72] Sitchin claimed that the Anunnaki were forced to temporarily leave Earth's surface and orbit the planet when Antarctic glaciers melted, causing the Great Flood,[73] which also destroyed the Anunnaki's bases on Earth.[73] These had to be rebuilt, and the Anunnaki, needing more humans to help in this massive effort, taught mankind agriculture.[73]

Ronald H. Fritze writes that, according to Sitchin, "the Annunaki built the pyramids and all the other monumental structures from around the world that ancient astronaut theorists consider so impossible to build without highly advanced technologies."[69] Sitchin expanded on this mythology in later works, including The Stairway to Heaven (1980) and The Wars of Gods and Men (1985).[74] In The End of Days: Armageddon and the Prophecy of the Return (2007), Sitchin predicted that the Anunnaki would return to earth, possibly as soon as 2012, corresponding to the end of the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar.[70][74] Sitchin's writings have been universally rejected by mainstream historians, who have labelled his books as pseudoarchaeology,[75] asserting that Sitchin seems to deliberately misrepresent Sumerian texts by quoting them out of context, truncating quotations, and mistranslating Sumerian words to give them radically different meanings from their accepted definitions.”

One of the things that hit me back then about this discovery of mine (=the Sumerians navigated on the river down from the Armenian Highlands) was the GREAT SIMILARITIES with Pharaoh Egypt, mostly the stories about King Narmer and the Nile.

The biggest challenge every historian or archeologist face when it comes to the Sumerians is the “gadgets” we see them represented with in the reliefs they left us. I knew for sure that the Sumerians came down from Noah’s Ark; just the behavior of the media and main stream history about it is enough to know they are trying to hide this. It was a secret (((they))) didn’t want the general public to know about. I’ve said this before: this is like a Matryoshka doll but in reverse = I started with a small secret, then found out a bigger one then a bigger one etc. In other words, (((they))) made the kuphar look all silly and insignificant while (((they))) were investigating this just as I was. And when (((they))) found out about the existence of the Ark on Mt Ararat, (((they))) supposedly debunked its existence in order to hide it and in the same time (((they))) have been hiding the origins of the Sumerians and where those came from.

I knew I was missing a piece of the puzzle that could tie things up for me but I couldn’t find it back then no matter what I did or where I looked. At this stage of research, I was working separately from my work, on my own free time and my own dime. I was stuck on this point for many decades.

And this is when I bumped into the pure horrors of the Armenian Genocide. I went all the way in this dark tunnel anons. It’s pure HORROR. If you need to know how horrible it is, it’s the equivalent to what takes place on Epstein Island, under the temple. Noah’s Ark is the REAL REASON why the ARMENAIN GENOCIDE took place. When I traveled to Armenia, I talked with MANY about the Ark and asked questions why was Mt Ararat so important to them even till this day? I had the same reply from everyone I questioned: “We are the guardians of the Ark. We protect it”. The Armenians ALWAYS considered themselves as the direct descendants of Noah and the great great grandson of Noah = Haïg is the patriarch of the Armenians. It makes sense now why in 2006 (if my memory is not betraying me) the Armenian nation chose to put the Ark on Mt Ararat on their coat of arms.

This tunnel lead me to secrets, with and S at the end = plural. One of those secrets is still a mystery to me: Why the bloodline families ORDERED the total extermination of the Armenians? (((They))) used the Turks and Kurds as “tools” to commit this total annihilation of a race but why? (((They))) were the ones pulling the strings behind the curtain, it’s so obvious; while the Turks were following and applying (((their))) orders. What do (((they))) have against the Armenians to want to wipe them out?

I’m also curious to know what was in the documents smuggled from the Ottoman Empire to some European capitals. What was in those documents about the Armenian genocide? Why were they so important that (((they))) had to snuggle them out of the Ottoman Empire during WWI before the Ottomans were defeated? How did some end up in London? While some ended up in Berlin? How did Hitler get his hands on the information within the documents? What did Hitler found out in them?

The “resistance” and “denial” this genocide has been facing; to even admit it took place; it’s absolutely mind blowing when you compare it with how easy the Holocaust was accept by the media and the leaders worldwide. Why sweep one under the rug, while the other was promoted on the scale of the entire world? The Armenian genocide was denied, dismissed, disputed and debunked… according to? = (((them))) and the media & leaders (((they))) control.(((They))) wanted it to be “forgotten”. And of course, as a payment for their loyalty to the Bloodline families, the Republic of Turkey was AWARDED via the treaty of Lausane, in 1923, Mt Ararat and the plain of Erzurum.

During my MANY trips to Istanbul (because of work) over the decades, I had the opportunity to open this subject and discuss it with many Turks. The replies I got were as various as the colors of the rainbow about this issue: some simply don’t care - others say it’s old insignificant news - others feel sorry for the loss of lives - others feel down and bad and say it’s absolutely wrong – others know it’s wrong but they still justify what was done back then, unwilling to admit the wrong – others are very aggressive about it and say the Armenians deserve it – while some religious fanatics say all the non-Muslims should be wiped out from the face of the planet. I know FOR SURE that the Turkish people have been lied to about this issue for a very long time and a lot of them are simply brainwashed about this. I hope one day we will know the truth about this and everyone will admit their wrong doings and make amends. This is not about race or religion anons, this is simply about RIGHT and WRONG; about GOOD against EVIL. An EVIL act = satanic sacrifice, was committed towards the Armenians. Pretending it never happened and trying to forget this, to skid away means only one thing = helping Evil win. Mending this wound won’t be easy, but it’s gotta happen, or this poison will keep on circulating for many centuries to come and evil will keep on flourishing. This “DARK” History will keep on repeating itself.

As I’ve just mentioned to anons, I went all the way into this very dark and horrible tunnel. I was intrigued by the reason this happened. Up to this day, I still couldn’t find it, even though I made a bit of progress during this passing year, but not that much. All I know, it’s something that has to do with the Armenian BLOOD; the blood that for some reason cabal/bloodline families hate so much as to try to exterminate it from existence. I will be back on this matter later on.

I know I took a detour there anons, but I believe the “Arnemian Genocide” goes straight into the best kept secrets of the bloodline families as in Noah’s Ark, Atlantis and the “importance of the bloodline”. I still cannot pin point it up till when I’m writing this, but I’m slowly walking there. I’m going to keep on looking until my very end; I simply hope I will have enough time to uncover this.

• “Around 1960, helicopter pilot George Greene claimed to have observed the Ark on Ararat in 1953. It was lying on the side of a vertical rock cliff at the 13,000 to 14,000 ft. level. He photographed it from the air and tried to mount an expedition, but his photographs failed to convince any investors. Greene was found drowned in a swimming pool in British Guiana in 1962, and his photographs have not been seen since. In The Ararat Report, February 1990, Ark investigator Bill Crouse listed various "phantom arks" on the mountain, including a formation that "does look like the prow of a huge ship. In reality, it is a huge chunk of basalt. We believe this is also the 'ark' seen by George Greene in 1953."[37]

• In 1970, an Armenian, Georgie Hagopian, claimed to have visited the Ark twice c. 1908–10 (1902 in another version, and 1906 according to a segment in the TV series Unsolved Mysteries) with his uncle. Hagopian claimed that he had climbed up onto the Ark and walked along its roof and that some of his young friends had also seen it. The online archive of talk.origins[38] notes that "[t]he apparent ease of getting to the ark conflicts with the accounts of other explorers."[39]

• Ed Davis,[40] a US army sergeant based at Hamadan in Iran during World War II, reported that he had climbed Mt. Ararat with his driver's family in 1943. After three days' climbing, the group camped 100 feet above the Ark and was able to look down into it but not to approach closely. According to Davis's description, it had broken into two pieces, which had been pushed some distance apart by glaciers. Its description roughly matched Hagopian's, judging by Elfred Lee's paintings. Lee also interviewed Ed Davis and created a painting based on Davis's descriptions. The structures in the paintings appear to match.[41]

• In 1993, CBS aired a television special entitled The Incredible Discovery of Noah's Ark, which contained a section devoted to the claims of George Jammal, who showed what he called "sacred wood from the ark." Jammal's story of a dramatic mountain expedition which took the life of "his Polish friend Vladimir" was actually a deliberate hoax, and Jammal – who was really an actor – later revealed that his "sacred wood" was wood taken from railroad tracks in Long Beach, California and hardened by cooking with various sauces in an oven.”

Anons, these “claims” and the existence of Noah’s Ark on Mt Ararat, it’s up to you to research this and believe if it’s true or not. For those who are not convinced despite that the article was published by the alliance on Zerohedge; I say, wait a bit longer and keep your eyes on the news. Because if the alliance started to talk in one article about this, then anons can be sure the alliance will continue to mention this and make all the necessary disclosures concerning this subject. I just hope I will be here long enough to see it with my own eyes and it won’t take many years before the truth comes out.

I personally do believe it’s the Ark we have up there. What convinced me most is the presence of professor shills like Finkel, here simply to blur everything out to the rest of us; just follow the money behind him and the institutes backing him and I bet we will find out cabal fingerprints all over him. And there is the Vatican’s reaction = no reaction = this deep creepy silence of the Vatican concerning this issue puts all of my sensors on high alert.”

See what happens to the people whom tried to get this out to the public?

I’m sure a lot was written about this but has anyone gone backwards? From the way it looks to me, it seems the Industrial Revolution and the Renaissance were the first and second technological awakenings. So could it be: contact was made with these entities ever since the XVth century? Could these entities have inspired Leonardo da Vinci in drawing his air crafts? The Steam machines we saw in the Industrial revolution are considered by historian a big “break” from the older means of transport. Could these also have been inspired by those entities?

Recent discoveries = Lewis Carroll wrote “Alice through the Looking Glass” in 1871; meaning he, somehow, already knew about the existence of this “machine” that allows the user to take a look into future events. A “machine” mentioned by Qteam in drop 3585. In other words, it does exist, but has anyone ever wondered since WHEN this machine existed? Could it have existed and been used by bloodline families ever since the later part of the 1800?

The possibility is there anon. Makes one wonder what else is in those “projects”? This could be a very interesting rabbit hole to research anons. I wonder if someone went in there.

In my research from back then, I went next to the only place where I could do some reading and dig: All I could do back then was round up all the flood myths from all over the globe, and this is what I’m going to talk about next. I’m going to make a summary of the notables at the end of each section.

The most obvious flood myth is the Epic poem of Gilgamesh, from Mesopotamia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilgamesh

“Gilgamesh (𒄑𒂅𒈦, Gilgameš, originally Bilgamesh 𒄑𒉈𒂵𒈩)[a] was a probably historical king of the Sumerian city-state of Uruk, a major hero in ancient Mesopotamian mythology, and the protagonist of the Epic of Gilgamesh, an epic poem written in Akkadian during the late second millennium BC. He probably ruled sometime between 2800 and 2500 BC and was posthumously deified. He became a major figure in Sumerian legends during the Third Dynasty of Ur (c. 2112 – c. 2004 BC). Tales of Gilgamesh's legendary exploits are narrated in five surviving Sumerian poems. The earliest of these is probably Gilgamesh, Enkidu, and the Netherworld, in which Gilgamesh comes to the aid of the goddess Inanna and drives away the creatures infesting her huluppu tree. She gives him two unknown objects called a mikku and a pikku, which he loses. After Enkidu's death, his shade tells Gilgamesh about the bleak conditions in the Underworld. The poem Gilgamesh and Agga describes Gilgamesh's revolt against his overlord King Agga. Other Sumerian poems relate Gilgamesh's defeat of the ogre Huwawa and the Bull of Heaven and a fifth, poorly preserved one apparently describes his death and funeral.

In later Babylonian times, these stories began to be woven into a connected narrative. The standard Akkadian Epic of Gilgamesh was composed by a scribe named Sîn-lēqi-unninni, probably during the Middle Babylonian Period (c. 1600 – c. 1155 BC), based on much older source material. In the epic, Gilgamesh is a demigod of superhuman strength who befriends the wildman Enkidu. Together, they go on adventures, defeating Humbaba (the East Semitic name for Huwawa) and the Bull of Heaven, who, in the epic, is sent to attack them by Ishtar (the East Semitic equivalent of Inanna) after Gilgamesh rejects her offer for him to become her consort. After Enkidu dies of a disease sent as punishment from the gods, Gilgamesh becomes afraid of his own death, and visits the sage Utnapishtim, the survivor of the Great Flood, hoping to find immortality. Gilgamesh repeatedly fails the trials set before him and returns home to Uruk, realizing that immortality is beyond his reach.”

(Please read from the start)

“In tablets III through IV, Gilgamesh and Enkidu travel to the Cedar Forest, which is guarded by Humbaba (the Akkadian name for Huwawa).[37] The heroes cross the seven mountains to the Cedar Forest, where they begin chopping down trees.[43] Confronted by Humbaba, Gilgamesh panics and prays to Shamash (the East Semitic name for Utu),[43] who blows eight winds in Humbaba's eyes, blinding him.[43] Humbaba begs for mercy, but the heroes decapitate him regardless.”

“Tablets IX through XI relate how Gilgamesh, driven by grief and fear of his own mortality, travels a great distance and overcomes many obstacles to find the home of Utnapishtim, the sole survivor of the Great Flood, who was rewarded with immortality by the gods.”

“He finds a beautiful garden by the sea in which he meets Siduri, the divine barmaid.[51] At first she tries to prevent Gilgamesh from entering the garden,[51] but later she instead attempts to persuade him to accept death as inevitable and not journey beyond the waters.[51] When Gilgamesh refuses to do this, she directs him to Urshanabi, the ferryman of the gods, who ferries Gilgamesh across the sea to Utnapishtim's homeland.[51] When Gilgamesh finally arrives at Utnapishtim's home, Utnapishtim tells Gilgamesh that, to become immortal, he must defy sleep.[37] Gilgamesh fails to do this and falls asleep for seven days without waking.”

“Next, Utnapishtim tells him that, even if he cannot obtain immortality, he can restore his youth using a plant with the power of rejuvenation.[37][22] Gilgamesh takes the plant, but leaves it on the shore while swimming and a snake steals it, explaining why snakes are able to shed their skins.”

>>The parts I’ve just copy/paste are relevant anons to future things I’m going to talk about.

1- Gilgamesh is the Sumerian King of Uruk.

2- Written in Akkadian late IInd Millennium B.C.

3- Gilgamesh rule around 2800-2500 B.C.

4- Akkadian epic composed by Sîn-lēqi-unninni (probably around 1600-1550 B.C.).

6- Looking for the sage Utnapishtim, the survivor of the Great Flood, in hopes to find immortality.

7- Epic of Gilgamesh exerted influence on Iliad and Odyssey.

8- Birth of Gilgamesh is written in IInd century A.D. by Greek writter Aelian.

9- Epic of Gilgamesh was discovered in the Library of Asurbanipal in 1849 and translated in 1870.

10- Controversy because of similarities with the Hebrew Bible.

11- Huluppu tree; “but the serpent “who knows no charm”, the Anzû-bird, and Lilitu, a Mesopotamian demon, all take up residence within the tree”.

12- Gilgamesh slays the serpent.

13- Gilgamesh loses the Pikku and Mikku.

14- Gilgamesh asks the shade of Enkidu questions about the Underworld.

15- Gilgamesh and Enkidu defeat the monster Huwawa = the guardian of the Cedar Forest.

16- Gilgamesh crosses 7 mountains.

17- Urshanabi ferries Gilgamesh across the sea to Utnapishtim’s homeland.

18- To become immortal Gilgamesh must defy sleep.

19- Restore one’s youth using a plant with the power of rejuvenation which ends up being eaten by a snake; explaining why snakes are able to shed their skins.

Now checking the flood myth for more details and reading the translation of the text itself:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilgamesh_flood_myth

“The Gilgamesh flood myth is a flood myth in the Epic of Gilgamesh. Many scholars believe that the flood myth was added to Tablet XI in the "standard version" of the Gilgamesh Epic by an editor who used the flood story from the Epic of Atrahasis.[1] A short reference to the flood myth is also present in the much older Sumerian Gilgamesh poems, from which the later Babylonian versions drew much of their inspiration and subject matter.”

“Gilgamesh’s supposed historical reign is believed to have been approximately 2700 BCE,[2] shortly before the earliest known written stories. The discovery of artifacts associated with Aga and Enmebaragesi of Kish, two other kings named in the stories, has lent credibility to the historical existence of Gilgamesh.[3]

The earliest Sumerian Gilgamesh poems date from as early as the Third dynasty of Ur (2100–2000 BCE).[4] One of these poems mentions Gilgamesh’s journey to meet the flood hero, as well as a short version of the flood story.[5] The earliest Akkadian versions of the unified epic are dated to ca. 2000–1500 BCE.[6] Due to the fragmentary nature of these Old Babylonian versions, it is unclear whether they included an expanded account of the flood myth; although one fragment definitely includes the story of Gilgamesh's journey to meet Utnapishtim. The "standard" Akkadian version included a long version of the story and was edited by Sin-liqe-unninni,[7] who lived sometime between 1300 and 1000 BCE.”

Anons, please read VERY CAREFULLY.

“Lines 1-203, Tablet XI [8] (note: with supplemental sub-titles and line numbers added for clarity)

Ea leaks the secret plan

1. Utnapishtim tells Gilgamesh a secret story that begins in the old city of Shuruppak on the banks of the Euphrates River.

2. The "great gods" Anu, Enlil, Ninurta, Ennugi, and Ea were sworn to secrecy about their plan to cause the flood.

3. But the god Ea (Sumerian god Enki) repeated the plan to Utnapishtim through a reed wall in a reed house.

4. Ea commanded Utnapishtim to demolish his house and build a boat, regardless of the cost, to keep living beings alive.

5. The boat must have equal dimensions with corresponding width and length and be covered over like Apsu boats.

6. Utnapishtim promised to do what Ea commanded.

7. He asked Ea what he should say to the city elders and the population.

8. Ea tells him to say that Enlil has rejected him and he can no longer reside in the city or set foot in Enlil's territory.

9. He should also say that he will go down to the Apsu "to live with my lord Ea".

10. Note: 'Apsu' can refer to a fresh water marsh near the temple of Ea/Enki at the city of Eridu.[9]

Building and launching the boat

1. Carpenters, reed workers, and other people assembled one morning.

2. [missing lines]

3. Five days later, Utnapishtim laid out the exterior walls of the boat of 120 cubits.

4. The sides of the superstructure had equal lengths of 120 cubits. He also made a drawing of the interior structure.

5. The boat had six decks [?] divided into seven and nine compartments.

6. Water plugs were driven into the middle part.

7. Punting poles and other necessary things were laid in.

8. Three times 3,600 units of raw bitumen were melted in a kiln and three times 3,600 units of oil were used in addition to two times 3,600 units of oil that were stored in the boat.

9. Oxen and sheep were slaughtered and ale, beer, oil, and wine were distributed to the workmen, like at a new year's festival.

10. When the boat was finished, the launching was very difficult. A runway of poles was used to slide the boat into the water.

11. Two-thirds of the boat was in the water.

12. Utnapishtim loaded his silver and gold into the boat.

13. He loaded "all the living beings that I had."

14. His relatives and craftsmen, and "all the beasts and animals of the field" boarded the boat.

15. The time arrived, as stated by the god Shamash, to seal the entry door.”

“He is sometimes linked to the Biblical patriarch Enoch, due to the following associations between Enoch in the Genesis genealogies and En-men-dur-ana in the Sumerian King List:[10] Both people are the 7th name in a list of ante-diluvian patriarchs with long lifespans. En-men-dur-ana is associated with Sippar (which was associated with sun worship), while Enoch's lifespan is 365 years, which is the same as the number of days in a solar year (365 days).”

>>Back then anons, I didn’t realize how important these few lines are about En-men-dur-ana and Ubara-Tutu. If interested, please take note. And I want to draw attention to how they “associated” the “Enoch” idea to En-men-dur-ana even though there is nothing “concrete” that truly links them together. Number 7 pops up again and again.

A quick reading of Shuruppak:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shuruppak

“Shuruppak became a grain storage and distribution city and had more silos than any other Sumerian city. The earliest excavated levels at Shuruppak date to the Jemdet Nasr period about 3000 BC; it was abandoned shortly after 2000 BC. Erich Schmidt found one Isin-Larsa cylinder seal and several pottery plaques which may date to early in the second millennium BC.[5] Surface finds are predominantly Early Dynastic”.

>> The notables are the date = 3000 B.C. and that the site is a Tell.

A look at Sippar is in order as well:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sippar

“Sippar (Sumerian: Zimbir) was an ancient Near Eastern Sumerian and later Babylonian city on the east bank of the Euphrates river.[1] Its tell is located at the site of modern Tell Abu Habbah near Yusufiyah in Iraq's Baghdad Governorate, some 60 km north of Babylon and 30 km southwest of Baghdad. The city's ancient name, Sippar, could also refer to its sister city, Sippar-Amnanum (located at the modern site of Tell ed-Der); a more specific designation for the city here referred to as Sippar was Sippar-Yahrurum”.

“Despite the fact that thousands of cuneiform clay tablets have been recovered at the site, relatively little is known about the history of Sippar. As was often the case in Mesopotamia, it was part of a pair of cities, separated by a river. Sippar was on the east side of the Euphrates, while its sister city, Sippar-Amnanum (modern Tell ed-Der), was on the west.

While pottery finds indicate that the site of Sippar was in use as early as the Uruk period, substantial occupation occurred only in the Early Dynastic period of the 3rd millennium BC, the Old Babylonian period of the 2nd millennium BC, and the Neo-Babylonian time of the 1st millennium BC. Lesser levels of use continued into the time of the Achaemenid, Seleucid and Parthian Empires.

Sippar was the cult site of the sun god (Sumerian Utu, Akkadian Shamash) and the home of his temple E-babbara”.

(Please read from the start)

“During early Babylonian dynasties, Sippar was the production center of wool. The Code of Hammurabi stele was probably erected at Sippar. Shamash was the god of justice, and he is depicted handing authority to the king in the image at the top of the stele.[3] A closely related motif occurs on some cylinder seals of the Old Babylonian period.[4] By the end of the 19th century BC, Sippar was producing some of the finest Old Babylonian cylinder seals.[5]

Sippar has been suggested as the location of the Biblical Sepharvaim in the Old Testament, which alludes to the two parts of the city in its dual form”.

“Xisuthros, the "Chaldean Noah" in Sumerian mythology, is said by Berossus to have buried the records of the antediluvian world here—possibly because the name of Sippar was supposed to be connected with sipru, "a writing".

“Tell Abu Habba, measuring over 1 square kilometer was first excavated by Hormuzd Rassam between 1880 and 1881 for the British Museum in a dig that lasted 18 months. [9] Tens of thousands of tablets were recovered including the Tablet of Shamash in the Temple of Shamash/Utu. Most of the tablets were Neo-Babylonian. [10] [11] [12] The temple had been mentioned as early as the 18th year of Samsu-iluna of Babylon, who reported restoring "Ebabbar, the temple of Szamasz in Sippar", along with the city's ziggurat.

The tablets, which ended up in the British Museum, are being studied to this day.[13] As was often the case in the early days of archaeology, excavation records were not made, particularly find spots. This makes it difficult to tell which tablets came from Sippar-Amnanum as opposed to Sippar.[14] Other tablets from Sippar were bought on the open market during that time and ended up at places like the British Museum and the University of Pennsylvania.[15] [16] Since the site is relatively close to Baghdad, it was a popular target for illegal excavations.[17]

In 1894, Sippar was worked briefly by Jean-Vincent Scheil.[18] The tablets recovered, mainly Old Babylonian, went to the Istanbul Museum. In modern times, the site was worked by a Belgian team from 1972 to 1973. [19] Iraqi archaeologists from the College of Arts at the University of Baghdad, led by Walid al-Jadir with Farouk al-Rawi, have excavated at Tell Abu Habbah from 1977 through the present in 24 seasons.[20][21] [22] After 2000, they were joined by the German Archaeological Institute. [23] [24] According to Professor Andrew George, a cuneiform tablet containing a portion of the Epic of Gilgamesh probably came from Sippar.[25]

In Sippar was the site where the Babylonian Map of the World was found”.

It turned out Sippar is a very important site = I don’t believe one split second that this many clay cuneiform tablets are in the B.M. (in other words in the procession of the bloodline families) and no one deciphered them. No records from the archeological excavations because it was not standard = Really? But Jacques de Morgan, who excavated during approximately the same period, had detailed NOTES of everything he did. You can bet there are at least extremely detailed notes on the digs and findings of the excavations in Sippar, mostly if it’s true they found there Hammurabi’s code. It must have been an important site to contain a copy of the Code of Law by king Hammurabi. Detailed drawings and possible maps might also have existed along with the notes.

It’s interesting how Sippar is believed to have been the location where “the antediluvian records” are buried by a Noah type person. Strangely enough, a few months back, I was flipping the T.V.; which I rarely watch, and I bumped into a strange passage from a series where the actors are talking about a case and that they needed to search for information in the records from Noah’s Ark. After a tiny bit of digging, it turned out the series is called “the Hunters”.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunters_(2020_TV_series)

“The series is inspired by a number of real Nazi hunters through the decades, but it is not meant to be a specific representation of any of them.[4] It follows a diverse band of Nazi hunters living in 1977 New York City who discover that Nazi war criminals are conspiring to create a Fourth Reich in the U.S.[5] A parallel plot element is the discovery of Operation Paperclip, the U.S. government operation relocating many German scientists (many of them Nazis) to the U.S.”

Talking about a coincidence here anons! It’s incredible isn’t it? Nazi relocating their scientists to the US; if I didn’t know better I would have said whoever wrote this has one heck of an imagination. I didn’t watch the series anons. I’m not interested in such stuff. I wonder if some anons saw this series. If so, then are there any other little “secrets” displayed in the series as well? And what marked me was this “notion” being thrown out there in the public consciousness that “Noah” (=the survivor of the deluge) had records with him and a seed bank; along with a pair of each animal.

“City-states in Mesopotamia

In the late 4th millennium BC, Sumer was divided into many independent city-states, which were divided by canals and boundary stones. Each was centered on a temple dedicated to the particular patron god or goddess of the city and ruled over by a priestly governor (ensi) or by a king (lugal) who was intimately tied to the city's religious rites.”

>> Please anons take note: 1 – City-State and 2 – King-Priest or Priest governor. Important for later.

Please anons I want to attract your attention to the SHAPE of the Cylinder-Seal and compare it to what the Anunnaki are holding in their hands. I’m not going in any direction about this, I’m only asking anons to take a look. Nothing more, nothing less. Simple observation for NOW.

“History

The Sumerian city-states rose to power during the prehistoric Ubaid and Uruk periods. Sumerian written history reaches back to the 27th century BC and before, but the historical record remains obscure until the Early Dynastic III period, c. the 23rd century BC, when a now deciphered syllabary writing system was developed, which has allowed archaeologists to read contemporary records and inscriptions. Classical Sumer ends with the rise of the Akkadian Empire in the 23rd century BC. Following the Gutian period, there was a brief Sumerian Renaissance in the 21st century BC, cut short in the 20th century BC by invasions by the Amorites. The Amorite "dynasty of Isin" persisted until c. 1700 BC, when Mesopotamia was united under Babylonian rule. The Sumerians were eventually absorbed into the Akkadian (Assyro-Babylonian) population.”

“Uruk period

By the time of the Uruk period (c. 4100–2900 BC calibrated), the volume of trade goods transported along the canals and rivers of southern Mesopotamia facilitated the rise of many large, stratified, temple-centered cities (with populations of over 10,000 people) where centralized administrations employed specialized workers.

Sumerian cities during the Uruk period were probably theocratic and were most likely headed by a priest-king (ensi), assisted by a council of elders, including both men and women.[39] It is quite possible that the later Sumerian pantheon was modeled upon this political structure. There was little evidence of organized warfare or professional soldiers during the Uruk period, and towns were generally unwalled.”

>> May I once more draw attention to the political structure of having a Priest-King as ruler. This is super important for later. And also, the Priest-King got his authority and power from “divine source” = theocracy.

I believe this is true. After emerging from the Ark, the survivors gradually started to move in groups, in all direction. This is why the earliest human settlements will be found in a more or less circular periphery around the epicenter = the Ark on Mt Ararat. That is up until a certain distance, then the survivor’s settlements gradually reached what is now the Turkish border with Syria and Iraq, among others. From there, if you follow the river downstream you will end up in Sumer. And this is what happened with the establishment of new settlements. They reached a region downstream, established a settlement there, then after a while, they continued to go downstream, exploring new lands to then establish another settlement there; and so on. This is why, when we go upstream from Sumer on the Euphrates, we discover older human settlements. The more you go upstream, the more you rewind things and find the traces of earlier survivors. It’s like the Euphrates River is one huge SPINE.

“Social and family life

In the early Sumerian period, the primitive pictograms suggest[50] that Pottery was very plentiful, and the forms of the vases, bowls and dishes were manifold […] The oil-jars, and probably others also, were sealed with clay, precisely as in early Egypt. Vases and dishes of stone were made in imitation of those of clay.”

>> NOTE: Same technique as Ancient Egypt.

"A feathered head-dress was worn. Beds, stools and chairs were used, with carved legs resembling those of an ox. There were fire-places and fire-altars."

"Knives, drills, wedges and an instrument that looks like a saw were all known. While spears, bows, arrows, and daggers (but not swords) were employed in war."

"Tablets were used for writing purposes. Daggers with metal blades and wooden handles were worn, and copper was hammered into plates, while necklaces or collars were made of gold."

"Time was reckoned in lunar months."

“There is considerable evidence concerning Sumerian music. Lyres and flutes were played, among the best-known examples being the Lyres of Ur.”

>> NOTE: Feathered headdress worn by Nobles and Royalty.

“Inscriptions describing the reforms of king Urukagina of Lagash (c. 2300 BC) say that he abolished the former custom of polyandry in his country, prescribing that a woman who took multiple husbands be stoned with rocks upon which her crime had been written.”

“Sumerian culture was male-dominated and stratified. The Code of Ur-Nammu, the oldest such codification yet discovered, dating to the Ur III, reveals a glimpse at societal structure in late Sumerian law. Beneath the lu-gal ("great man" or king), all members of society belonged to one of two basic strata: The "lu" or free person, and the slave (male, arad; female geme).”

“Marriages were usually arranged by the parents of the bride and groom;[53]:78 engagements were usually completed through the approval of contracts recorded on clay tablets. These marriages became legal as soon as the groom delivered a bridal gift to his bride's father.”

“From the earliest records, the Sumerians had very relaxed attitudes toward sex[57] and their sexual mores were determined not by whether a sexual act was deemed immoral, but rather by whether or not it made a person ritually unclean. […] . Prostitution existed but it is not clear if sacred prostitution did.”

>> I personally didn’t find anything indicating the practice of incest nor pedophilia in Sumer, but there are arguments about the existence of homosexuality.

“Language and writing

The most important archaeological discoveries in Sumer are a large number of clay tablets written in cuneiform script. […] A large body of hundreds of thousands of texts in the Sumerian language have survived, such as personal and business letters, receipts, lexical lists, laws, hymns, prayers, stories, and daily records. Full libraries of clay tablets have been found. Monumental inscriptions and texts on different objects, like statues or bricks, are also very common. Many texts survive in multiple copies because they were repeatedly transcribed by scribes in training. Sumerian continued to be the language of religion and law in Mesopotamia long after Semitic speakers had become dominant.”

“The Sumerian language is generally regarded as a language isolate in linguistics because it belongs to no known language family; […].”

A little detour:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuneiform

“Cuneiform[a] was one of the earliest systems of writing, invented by Sumerians in ancient Mesopotamia.[b][4][5] It is distinguished by its wedge-shaped marks on clay tablets, made by means of a blunt reed for a stylus. The term cuneiform comes from cuneus, Latin for "wedge”.

“Emerging in Sumer in the late fourth millennium BC (the Uruk IV period) to convey the Sumerian language, which was a language isolate, cuneiform writing began as a system of pictograms, stemming from an earlier system of shaped tokens used for accounting. In the third millennium, the pictorial representations became simplified and more abstract as the number of characters in use grew smaller (Hittite cuneiform). The system consists of a combination of logophonetic, consonantal alphabetic, and syllabic signs.”

“Temple and temple organization

Ziggurats (Sumerian temples) each had an individual name and consisted of a forecourt, with a central pond for purification.[72] The temple itself had a central nave with aisles along either side. Flanking the aisles would be rooms for the priests. At one end would stand the podium and a mudbrick table for animal and vegetable sacrifices. Granaries and storehouses were usually located near the temples. After a time the Sumerians began to place the temples on top of multi-layered square constructions built as a series of rising terraces, giving rise to the Ziggurat style.”

A little detour:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ziggurat

“Ziggurats were built by ancient Sumerians, Akkadians, Elamites, Eblaites and Babylonians for local religions. Each ziggurat was part of a temple complex that included other buildings. The precursors of the ziggurat were raised platforms that date from the Ubaid period[1] during the sixth millennium. The ziggurats began as a platform (usually oval, rectangular or square), the ziggurat was a mastaba-like structure with a flat top. The sun-baked bricks made up the core of the ziggurat with facings of fired bricks on the outside. Each step was slightly smaller than the step below it. The facings were often glazed in different colors and may have had astrological significance. Kings sometimes had their names engraved on these glazed bricks. The number of floors ranged from two to seven.

According to archaeologist Harriet Crawford, "It is usually assumed that the ziggurats supported a shrine, though the only evidence for this comes from Herodotus, and physical evidence is non-existent. It has also been suggested by a number of scholars that this shrine was the scene of the sacred marriage, the central rite of the great new year festival. Herodotus describes the furnishing of the shrine on top of the ziggurat at Babylon and says it contained a great golden couch on which a woman spent the night alone. The god Marduk was also said to come and sleep in his shrine. The likelihood of such a shrine ever being found is remote. Erosion has usually reduced the surviving ziggurats to a fraction of their original height, but textual evidence may yet provide more facts about the purpose of these shrines. In the present state of our knowledge it seems reasonable to adopt as a working hypothesis the suggestion that the ziggurats developed out of the earlier temples on platforms and that small shrines stood on the highest stages…"[2][citation needed] Access to the shrine would have been by a series of ramps on one side of the ziggurat or by a spiral ramp from base to summit. The Mesopotamian ziggurats were not places for public worship or ceremonies. They were believed to be dwelling places for the gods and each city had its own patron god. Only priests were permitted on the ziggurat or in the rooms at its base, and it was their responsibility to care for the gods and attend to their needs. The priests were very powerful members of Sumerian and Assyro-Babylonian society.

One of the best-preserved ziggurats is Chogha Zanbil in western Iran.[3] The Sialk ziggurat, in Kashan, Iran, is the oldest known ziggurat, dating to the early 3rd millennium BCE.[4][5] Ziggurat designs ranged from simple bases upon which a temple sat, to marvels of mathematics and construction which spanned several terraced stories and were topped with a temple.

An example of a simple ziggurat is the White Temple of Uruk, in ancient Sumer. The ziggurat itself is the base on which the White Temple is set. Its purpose is to get the temple closer to the heavens,[citation needed] and provide access from the ground to it via steps. The Mesopotamians believed that these pyramids temples connected heaven and earth. In fact, the ziggurat at Babylon was known as Etemenankia or "House of the Platform between Heaven and Earth".”

>>9343969

(Please read from the start)

“An example of an extensive and massive ziggurat is the Marduk ziggurat, of Etemenanki, of ancient Babylon. Unfortunately, not much of even the base is left of this massive 91-meter tall structure, yet archeological findings and historical accounts put this tower at seven multicolored tiers, topped with a temple of exquisite proportions. The temple is thought to have been painted and maintained an indigo color, matching the tops of the tiers. It is known that there were three staircases leading to the temple, two of which (side flanked) were thought to have only ascended half the ziggurat's height.

Etemenanki, the name for the structure, is Sumerian and means "temple of the foundation of heaven and earth". The date of its original construction is unknown, with suggested dates ranging from the fourteenth to the ninth century BCE, with textual evidence suggesting it existed in the second millennium.”

>> I personally believe that the Ziggurats were not the place of worship itself but the support on which it rested on. It’s like a giant base or foundation for the temple.

“Funerary practices

It was believed that when people died, they would be confined to a gloomy world of Ereshkigal, whose realm was guarded by gateways with various monsters designed to prevent people entering or leaving. The dead were buried outside the city walls in graveyards where a small mound covered the corpse, along with offerings to monsters and a small amount of food. Those who could afford it sought burial at Dilmun.[71] Human sacrifice was found in the death pits at the Ur royal cemetery where Queen Puabi was accompanied in death by her servants.”

https://www.ancient-origins.net/ancient-places-asia/death-pit-of-ur-mesopotamia-0010297

>> It was common practice throughout the ancient world to see the servants follow literally their masters into the grave. This was not just practiced in Mesopotamia. The best example I can give is the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, Xi'an. It was believed the servants will continue to serve faithfully their master in the afterlife just like what they did in his lifetime. The servants were mostly considered as belongings, just like the furniture and other artifacts placed in the tombs. This is very different from ritual sacrifice, not, I repeat NOT to confuse with.

“Agriculture and hunting

The Sumerians adopted an agricultural lifestyle perhaps as early as c. 5000 BC – 4500 BC. The region demonstrated a number of core agricultural techniques, including organized irrigation, large-scale intensive cultivation of land, mono-cropping involving the use of plough agriculture, and the use of an agricultural specialized labour force under bureaucratic control. The necessity to manage temple accounts with this organization led to the development of writing (c. 3500 BC).

In the early Sumerian Uruk period, the primitive pictograms suggest that sheep, goats, cattle, and pigs were domesticated. They used oxen as their primary beasts of burden and donkeys or equids as their primary transport animal and "woollen clothing as well as rugs were made from the wool or hair of the animals. … By the side of the house was an enclosed garden planted with trees and other plants; wheat and probably other cereals were sown in the fields, and the shaduf was already employed for the purpose of irrigation. Plants were also grown in pots or vases.

The Sumerians were one of the first known beer drinking societies. […]It was referenced in the Epic of Gilgamesh when Enkidu was introduced to the food and beer of Gilgamesh's people: "Drink the beer, as is the custom of the land… He drank the beer-seven jugs! and became expansive and sang with joy!”

The Sumerians practiced similar irrigation techniques as those used in Egypt.

Sumerian agriculture depended heavily on irrigation. The irrigation was accomplished by the use of shaduf, canals, channels, dykes, weirs, and reservoirs.”

“Architecture

The Tigris-Euphrates plain lacked minerals and trees. Sumerian structures were made of plano-convex mudbrick, not fixed with mortar or cement. Mud-brick buildings eventually deteriorate, so they were periodically destroyed, leveled, and rebuilt on the same spot. This constant rebuilding gradually raised the level of cities, which thus came to be elevated above the surrounding plain. The resultant hills, known as tells, are found throughout the ancient Near East.”

>> I believe this practice to be much older than the Sumerians. Some of the Tells in the Middle East are much older than the Sumerians. I believe this is due to the survivors moving from one settlement to another gradually; including some of them moving downstream Euphrates River – as stated before.

“Mathematics

The Sumerians developed a complex system of metrology c. 4000 BC. This advanced metrology resulted in the creation of arithmetic, geometry, and algebra. From c. 2600 BC onwards, the Sumerians wrote multiplication tables on clay tablets and dealt with geometrical exercises and division problems. The earliest traces of the Babylonian numerals also date back to this period.[79] The period c. 2700–2300 BC saw the first appearance of the abacus, and a table of successive columns which delimited the successive orders of magnitude of their sexagesimal number system.[80] The Sumerians were the first to use a place value numeral system. There is also anecdotal evidence the Sumerians may have used a type of slide rule in astronomical calculations. They were the first to find the area of a triangle and the volume of a cube.”

“Economy and trade

Discoveries of obsidian from far-away locations in Anatolia and lapis lazuli from Badakhshan in northeastern Afghanistan, beads from Dilmun (modern Bahrain), and several seals inscribed with the Indus Valley script suggest a remarkably wide-ranging network of ancient trade centered on the Persian Gulf. For example, Imports to Ur came from many parts of the world. In particular, the metals of all types had to be imported.

The Epic of Gilgamesh refers to trade with far lands for goods, such as wood, that were scarce in Mesopotamia. In particular, cedar from Lebanon was prized. The finding of resin in the tomb of Queen Puabi at Ur, indicates it was traded from as far away as Mozambique.”

>> Some of the “foreign” artifacts found are proof that trade caravans came from the Anatolian Plateau, most probably using the navigation on the Euphrates River = Confirming my research findings. The only Cedar Forest to have existed in the region is in Lebanon. Please reread the Epic of Gilgamesh (starting page 36). Up till this day, Lebanon is still known as the Land of the Cedars. This is the reason the majestic tree was chosen to be placed on their flag as the national symbol for their country.

“Sumerian potters decorated pots with cedar oil paints. The potters used a bow drill to produce the fire needed for baking the pottery.”

>> The Land of the Cedars is far more ancient than what is admitted.

“Trade with the Indus valley

Evidence for imports from the Indus to Ur can be found from around 2350 BCE.[85] Various objects made with shell species that are characteristic of the Indus coast, particularly Trubinella Pyrum and Fasciolaria Trapezium, have been found in the archaeological sites of Mesopotamia dating from around 2500-2000 BCE.[86] Carnelian beads from the Indus were found in the Sumerian tombs of Ur, the Royal Cemetery at Ur, dating to 2600-2450.[87] In particular, carnelian beads with an etched design in white were probably imported from the Indus Valley, and made according to a technique of acid-etching developed by the Harappans. Lapis Lazuli was imported in great quantity by Egypt, and already used in many tombs of the Naqada II period (circa 3200 BCE). Lapis Lazuli probably originated in northern Afghanistan, as no other sources are known, and had to be transported across the Iranian plateau to Mesopotamia, and then Egypt.

Several Indus seals with Harappan script have also been found in Mesopotamia, particularly in Ur, Babylon and Kish.”

“Money and credit

Large institutions kept their accounts in barley and silver, often with a fixed rate between them.”

“Military

The almost constant wars among the Sumerian city-states for 2000 years helped to develop the military technology and techniques of Sumer to a high level.[101] The first war recorded in any detail was between Lagash and Umma in c. 2525 BC on a stele called the Stele of the Vultures. It shows the king of Lagash leading a Sumerian army consisting mostly of infantry. The infantry carried spears, wore copper helmets, and carried rectangular shields. The spearmen are shown arranged in what resembles the phalanx formation, which requires training and discipline; this implies that the Sumerians may have made use of professional soldiers.”

(For those interested, more info about the stele: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stele_of_the_Vultures)

“Technology

Examples of Sumerian technology include: the wheel, cuneiform script, arithmetic and geometry, irrigation systems, Sumerian boats, lunisolar calendar, bronze, leather, saws, chisels, hammers, braces, bits, nails, pins, rings, hoes, axes, knives, lancepoints, arrowheads, swords, glue, daggers, waterskins, bags, harnesses, armor, quivers, war chariots, scabbards, boots, sandals, harpoons and beer. The Sumerians had three main types of boats:

• clinker-built sailboats stitched together with hair, featuring bitumen waterproofing

• skin boats constructed from animal skins and reeds

• wooden-oared ships, sometimes pulled upstream by people and animals walking along the nearby banks”

>> Amazing how the name Kuphar or Coracle is conveniently omitted when talking about the second type of boats.

“Legacy

The Sumerians were among the first astronomers, mapping the stars into sets of constellations, many of which survived in the zodiac and were also recognized by the ancient Greeks. They were also aware of the five planets that are easily visible to the naked eye.

They may have invented military formations and introduced the basic divisions between infantry, cavalry, and archers. They developed the first known codified legal and administrative systems, complete with courts, jails, and government records. The first true city-states arose in Sumer, roughly contemporaneously with similar entities in what are now Syria and Lebanon.”

Before I move on, since we are talking about the Sumerians, let me mention this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out-of-place_artifact

“Sivatherium of Kish: An ornamental war chariot piece discovered in the Sumerian ruins of Kish, which is now in central Iraq, in 1928. The figurine, dated to the Early Dynastic I period (2800–2750 BCE), depicts a quadrupedal mammal with branched horns, a nose ring, and a rope tied to the ring. Because of the shape of the horns, Edwin Colbert identified it as a depiction of a late-surviving, possibly domesticated Sivatherium, a vaguely moose-like relative of the giraffe that lived in North Africa and India during the Pleistocene but was believed to have become extinct early in the Holocene extinction event. Henry Field and Berthold Laufer instead argued that it represented a captive Persian fallow deer and that the antlers had broken over the years. The missing antlers were found in the Field Museum's storeroom in 1977.”

This is referred to as an “Out-of-place-Artifact. I will be gradually going through most of them as I advance in the thread. Why is this statuette (dating back from around 2800-2750 BC) of an animal found in Kish is out of place? Maybe because the animal itself is thought to be extinct millions of years go.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sivatherium

“Sivatherium is an extinct genus of giraffids that ranged throughout Africa to the Indian subcontinent.”

“Sivatherium originated during the Late Miocene (around 7 ma) in Africa and survived through to the late Early Pleistocene (Calabrian).”

= From around 11.63 - 5.3 Million years AGO to around 2.58 - 1.8 Million years AGO. YES, you are reading correctly anons. This is unbelievable isn’t it anons? From what Main stream history has always told us, this animal is supposed to be extinct for millions of years and yet somehow, in some miracle way the Sumerians managed to make a statuette of it. How on earth did they know how it looked like?

Unless…..There is someone lying and hiding things from the rest of humanity. Unless…. Things are not EXACTLY as we were told they were.

And this is where I’m going to stop about this subject for NOW. I will get to it later on.

The Akkadians are of equal importance as the Sumerians, even though some neglect them because they appeared later on. I consider them as the “bullhorn” of the Sumerians as in they were more “vocal” (writing more) than the Sumerians. That is why ANY Akkadian text is important and precious.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akkadian_Empire

“The Akkadian Empire (/əˈkeɪdiən/)[4] was the first ancient empire of Mesopotamia, centered in the city of Akkad /ˈækæd/[5] and its surrounding region, which the Bible also called Akkad. The empire united Akkadian and Sumerian speakers under one rule. The Akkadian Empire exercised influence across Mesopotamia, the Levant, and Anatolia, sending military expeditions as far south as Dilmun and Magan (modern Bahrain and Oman) in the Arabian Peninsula.

During the 3rd millennium BC, there developed a cultural symbiosis between the Sumerians and the Akkadians, which included widespread bilingualism.[7] Akkadian, an East Semitic language,[8] gradually replaced Sumerian as a spoken language somewhere between the 3rd and the 2nd millennia BC (the exact dating being a matter of debate).

The Akkadian Empire reached its political peak between the 24th and 22nd centuries BC, following the conquests by its founder Sargon of Akkad.[10] Under Sargon and his successors, the Akkadian language was briefly imposed on neighboring conquered states such as Elam and Gutium. Akkad is sometimes regarded as the first empire in history, though the meaning of this term is not precise, and there are earlier Sumerian claimants.

After the fall of the Akkadian Empire, the people of Mesopotamia eventually coalesced into two major Akkadian-speaking nations: Assyria in the north, and, a few centuries later, Babylonia in the south.”

“History and development of the empire

Originally a cupbearer (Rabshakeh) to a king of Kish with a Semitic name, Ur-Zababa, Sargon thus became a gardener, responsible for the task of clearing out irrigation canals. The royal cupbearer at this time was in fact a prominent political position, close to the king and with various high level responsibilities not suggested by the title of the position itself.[33] This gave him access to a disciplined corps of workers, who also may have served as his first soldiers. Displacing Ur-Zababa, Sargon was crowned king, and he entered upon a career of foreign conquest.[34] Four times he invaded Syria and Canaan, and he spent three years thoroughly subduing the countries of "the west" to unite them with Mesopotamia "into a single empire".

“However, Sargon took this process further, conquering many of the surrounding regions to create an empire that reached westward as far as the Mediterranean Sea and perhaps Cyprus (Kaptara); northward as far as the mountains (a later Hittite text asserts he fought the Hattian king Nurdaggal of Burushanda, well into Anatolia); eastward over Elam; and as far south as Magan (Oman) — a region over which he reigned for purportedly 56 years, though only four "year-names" survive. He consolidated his dominion over his territories by replacing the earlier opposing rulers with noble citizens of Akkad, his native city where loyalty would thus be ensured.”

“Trade extended from the silver mines of Anatolia to the lapis lazuli mines in modern Afghanistan, the cedars of Lebanon and the copper of Magan. This consolidation of the city-states of Sumer and Akkad reflected the growing economic and political power of Mesopotamia.”

>> With Sargon the Great’s conquests, we can start seeing the structure of the civilization mutate, shift from that of a CITY-STATE to that of a kingdom or empire. It’s HUGE difference in the method of ruling.

“Rimush and Manishtushu

Sargon had crushed opposition even at old age. These difficulties broke out again in the reign of his sons, where revolts broke out during the nine-year reign of Rimush (2278–2270 BC), who fought hard to retain the empire, and was successful until he was assassinated by some of his own courtiers. According to his inscriptions, he faced widespread revolts, and had to reconquer the cities of Ur, Umma, Adab, Lagash, Der, and Kazallu from rebellious ensis:[42] Rimush introduced mass slaughter and large scale destruction of the Sumerian city-states, and maintained meticulous records of his destructions.[43] Most of the major Sumerian cities were destroyed, and Sumerian human losses were enormous.”

“Naram-Sin

Manishtushu's son and successor, Naram-Sin (2254–2218 BC), due to vast military conquests, assumed the imperial title "King Naram-Sin, king of the four-quarters" (Lugal Naram-Sîn, Šar kibrat 'arbaim), the four-quarters as a reference to the entire world. He was also for the first time in Sumerian culture, addressed as "the god (Sumerian = DINGIR, Akkadian = ilu) of Agade" (Akkad), in opposition to the previous religious belief that kings were only representatives of the people towards the gods.[46][47] He also faced revolts at the start of his reign,[48] but quickly crushed them.”

“The chief threat seemed to be coming from the northern Zagros Mountains, the Lulubis and the Gutians. A campaign against the Lullubi led to the carving of the "Victory Stele of Naram-Suen", now in the Louvre. Hittite sources claim Naram-Sin of Akkad even ventured into Anatolia, battling the Hittite and Hurrian kings Pamba of Hatti, Zipani of Kanesh, and 15 others.”

A small detour is in order:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victory_Stele_of_Naram-Sin

“The Victory Stele of Naram-Sin is a stele that dates to approximately 2254-2218 BC, in the time of the Akkadian Empire, and is now in the Louvre in Paris. The relief measures six feet in height and was carved in pink limestone. It depicts the King Naram-Sin of Akkad leading the Akkadian army to victory over the Lullubi, a mountain people from the Zagros Mountains. It shows a narrative of the King crossing the steep slopes into enemy territory; on the left are the ordered imperial forces keeping in rank while marching over the disordered defenders that lie broken and defeated. Naram-Sin in shown as by far the most important figure; he is shown towering over his enemy and troops and all eyes gaze up toward him. The weak and chaotic opposing forces are shown being thrown from atop the mountainside, impaled by spears, fleeing and begging Naram-Sin for mercy as well as being trampled underfoot by Naram-Sin himself. This is supposed to convey their uncivilized and barbaric nature making the conquest justified.

The stele is unique in two regards. Most conquest depictions are shown horizontally, with the King being at the top-center. This stele depicts the victory in a diagonal fashion with the King still being at the top-center but where everyone else can look up to him. The second unique aspect of the piece is that Naram-Sin is shown wearing a bull-horned helmet or shown as the face of lion. Helmets of this type at the time when this stele was commissioned were only worn by the Gods. This stele is in essence telling the viewer that Naram-Sin is a victorious conqueror as a result of his divine status. But it also shows Naram-Sin gazing up toward two stars. Showing that although Naram-Sin is a god, a feat that was up to this point only achieved by deceased kings, he is still not the most powerful of gods.”

(Please read from the start)

“Rediscovery

The stele is believed to originally be from Sippar, but was found at the Iranian site of Susa. It was taken out of Mesopotamia by the Elamite King Shutruk-Nakhunte in the 12th century BC. Shutruk-Nakhunte was a descendant of the Lullubi people, whose defeat the stele commemorated. He also claimed to carry the stele there himself. The already ancient inscription was kept, indicating respect for Naram-Sin's victory. He did, however, add an inscription declaring his own glory and tells how the stele was carried out of the city after the pillage of the city Sippar.[2][3] In 1898, Jacques de Morgan, a French archaeologist, excavated the stele and it was moved to the Louvre in Paris where it remains today.

>>Remember him? I want to know why De Morgan was interested in a stele with a “big, tall” king wearing a “horned helmet” under 3 stars or 3 suns = at the end, the sun is a star. Makes one wonder if there weren’t any additional stars on the stele, which were damaged or destroyed. If anons are willing, help is needed here. Please, make it a targeted digging.

What I’m curious about is if the stars can be matched to a constellation or any other cosmic body. While the horned helmet reminds me of the “sun-disk crown” worn by Egyptian solar related deities, I’m curious to know if any other civilization had such horned helmets as well. For now, while I’m writing this, nothing comes to my mind.

“Narrative

Naram-Sin is shown as a god-like figure on the stele. Naram-Sin is wearing the horned helmet showing his god-like status, and authority. He is supported by his ordered troops and feared by his defeated enemies. His face is that of lion or bull, signifying his powers. He is also depicted by showing no mercy to his enemy. One of the defeated people pleas for their lives on the top right as they run from Naram-Sin. This is for good reason because he is shown stepping on the dead body of one of the Lullubi people after kicking another off the side of the mountain. He has stabbed another in the neck with a spear and is holding an arrow to perhaps impale the next. The Lullubi people are shown in stark contrast to the Akkadian soldiers they are shown as a disorganized chaotic mess of individuals being trampled underfoot by the very organized Akkadians.

A tree native to the area is pictured between the two groups of soldiers, firstly to locate the battle in a specific place, and to help frame the stele.

[…]

When a figure is shown wearing a horned helmet in Akkad at the time they would commonly considered a god. Here Naram-Sin is wearing just such a helmet and shows the viewer that Naram-Sin is in fact a god-king. Divinity is further represented in the three sun-stars pictured above the mountain top. Although there are indeed three stars, only two can be seen due to the fact that the stele was damaged at some point in its existence, effectively removing the third star. The sun-stars consist of a series of eight point stars which have flames radiating between the points. These are meant to represent the Assyrian god, Shamash, watching over the battle between the Akkadians and Lullubi people.”

“With Naram-Sin, Sargon's grandson, this went further than with Sargon, with the king not only being called "Lord of the Four-Quarters (of the Earth)", but also elevated to the ranks of the dingir (= gods), with his own temple establishment. Previously a ruler could, like Gilgamesh, become divine after death but the Akkadian kings, from Naram-Sin onward, were considered gods on earth in their lifetimes. Their portraits showed them of larger size than mere mortals and at some distance from their retainers.”

>> We see a mutation from the ruling system of City-States to kingdom/empires. Another evolution is the status of the ruler: he was supposed to be an intermediary between the deity and the people, then it changed into him = the king, being deified and becoming equal to the gods.

“Foreign trade

As a result, Sumer and Akkad had a surplus of agricultural products but was short of almost everything else, particularly metal ores, timber and building stone, all of which had to be imported. The spread of the Akkadian state as far as the "silver mountain" (possibly the Taurus Mountains), the "cedars" of Lebanon, and the copper deposits of Magan, was largely motivated by the goal of securing control over these imports. One tablet reads:

"Sargon, the king of Kish, triumphed in thirty-four battles (over the cities) up to the edge of the sea (and) destroyed their walls. He made the ships from Meluhha, the ships from Magan (and) the ships from Dilmun tie up alongside the quay of Agade. Sargon the king prostrated himself before (the god) Dagan (and) made supplication to him; (and) he (Dagan) gave him the upper land, namely Mari, Yarmuti, (and) Ebla, up to the Cedar Forest (and) up to the Silver Mountain"

— Inscription by Sargon of Akkad (ca.2270–2215 BCE)”

“Seals

The Akkadians used visual arts as a vehicle of ideology. They developed a new style for cylinder seals, by reusing traditional animal decorations but organizing them around inscriptions, which often became central parts of the layout. The figures also became more sculptural and naturalistic. New elements were also included, especially in relation to the rich Akkadian mythology.”

>> This is why we see “fabulous” mythological creatures on the seal’s imprints.

“Achievements

[…]. A cadastral survey seems also to have been instituted, and one of the documents relating to it states that a certain Uru-Malik, whose name appears to indicate his Canaanite origin, was governor of the land of the Amorites, or Amurru as the semi-nomadic people of Syria and Canaan were called in Akkadian. It is probable that the first collection of astronomical observations and terrestrial omens was made for a library established by Sargon.”

This concludes for the Akkadians and in the same time, our first stop in the world tour we are taking. I will NOT be going into the Phoenicians for NOW neither into Asia Minor.

“The book may have originated from the Pyramid Texts dawn myth accounts, but by the New Kingdom the idea was developed to explain death and suffering in an imperfect creation. The work has been viewed as a form of theodicy and a magical text to ensure the king's ascent into heaven. It has also been viewed as thematically similar to more developed accounts of the destruction of humanity in the Mesopotamian and biblical stories of the flood. The reign of Akhenaten – the pharaoh who had attempted to bring about a break in the existent religious traditions – may be the inspiration for the work.”

“The Book of the Heavenly Cow is divided in half by the image of the cow and her supporters. There are no visible breaks in the actual text of The Heavenly Cow, aside from the representation of the Heavenly Cow. Due to this presentation method, there are no clear breaks in the text that allow for a clear structuring of the text. However, Egyptologists who examined the text closely suggested a loose division of the text into four sections. The first section describes the "Destruction of Mankind", in which humanity plot against the Sun God Ra. After Ra consulting with the other gods, the goddess Hathor is chosen by Ra, to act as the violent Eye of Ra. She was to deliver divine punishment to humanity and did so by slaughtering the rebels and bringing death into the world. The survivors of Hathor’s wrath were saved when Ra tricks Hathor by putting dyed beer that resembled blood, which Hathor drinks, becoming intoxicated. The final part of the text deals with Ra's ascension into the sky, the creation of the underworld, and with the theology surrounding the ba (soul).7 The structure of the ancient Egyptian text the Book of the Heavenly Cow is structured into 330 verses, with half of the text occurring before a description or representation of the Heavenly Cow. The language used in the Book of the Heavenly Cow displays roots from Late Egyptian influences. Due to the ancient text containing roots from Late Egypt, it is widely believed among Egyptology scholars that the Book of the Heavenly Cow originated during the Amarna period.

The text has three images:

1. The goddess Nut (in the form of a cow) being supported by the eight Heh gods

2. Neneh (left) and Djet (right) as supporters of the sky

3. Pharaoh as supporter of the sky”

>>It’s interesting how there aren’t that much details about this “destruction” of humans but the theme remains close to the one of Mesopotamia. The image of the “cow” pops up. And my last comment = the eye of Ra is greatly confused with the eye of Horus. They look the same in most of the iconography (which is the cause for the confusion). There is a lot of confusion about the two and it has not been determined which is which. What is for sure is that in both cases, the eye is considered very powerful = the ALL seeing eye of Ra = the SUN……same concept we’ve seen with Shamash in Mesopotamia, where he was the supreme judge because he SAW everything.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_of_Ra

“The Eye of Ra or Eye of Re is a being in ancient Egyptian mythology that functions as a feminine counterpart to the sun god Ra and a violent force that subdues his enemies. The Eye is an extension of Ra's power, equated with the disk of the sun, but it also behaves as an independent entity, which can be personified by a wide variety of Egyptian goddesses, including Hathor, Sekhmet, Bastet, Wadjet, and Mut. The Eye goddess acts as mother, sibling, consort, and daughter of the sun god. She is his partner in the creative cycle in which he begets the renewed form of himself that is born at dawn. The Eye's violent aspect defends Ra against the agents of disorder that threaten his rule. This dangerous aspect of the Eye goddess is often represented by a lioness or by the uraeus, or cobra, a symbol of protection and royal authority. The Eye of Ra is similar to the Eye of Horus, which belongs to a different god, Horus, but represents many of the same concepts. The disastrous effects when the Eye goddess rampages out of control and the efforts of the gods to return her to a benign state are a prominent motif in Egyptian mythology.

The Eye of Ra was involved in many areas of ancient Egyptian religion, including in the cults of the many goddesses who are equated with it. Its life-giving power was celebrated in temple rituals, and its dangerous aspect was invoked in the protection of the pharaoh, of sacred places, and of ordinary people and their homes.”

“The Egyptians often referred to the sun and the moon as the "eyes” of particular gods. The right eye of the god Horus, for instance, was equated with the sun, and his left eye equated with the moon. At times the Egyptians called the lunar eye the "Eye of Horus", a concept with its own complex mythology and symbolism, and called the solar eye the "Eye of Ra"—Ra being the preeminent sun god in ancient Egyptian religion. However, in Egyptian belief, many terms and concepts are fluid, so the sun could also be called the "Eye of Horus”.

“The yellow or red disk-like sun emblem in Egyptian art represents the Eye of Ra. Because of the great importance of the sun in Egyptian religion, this emblem is one of the most common religious symbols in all of Egyptian art.[2] Although Egyptologists usually call this emblem the "sun disk", its convex shape in Egyptian relief sculpture suggests that the Egyptians may have envisioned it as a sphere.[3] The emblem often appears atop the heads of solar-associated deities, including Ra himself, to indicate their links with the sun. The disk could even be regarded as Ra's physical form.[2] At other times, the sun god, in various forms, is depicted inside the disk shape, as if enclosed within it.[4] The Egyptians often described the sun's movement across the sky as the movement of a barque carrying Ra and his entourage of other gods, and the sun disk can either be equated with this solar barque or depicted containing the barque inside it.[3] The disk is often called Ra's "daughter" in Egyptian texts”.

>> Comment: Just like Enlil who moved in the sky using his boat; from the Epic of Gilgamesh.

“As the sun, the Eye of Ra is a source of heat and light, and it is associated with fire and flames. It is also equated with the red light that appears before sunrise, and with the morning star that precedes and signals the sun's arrival”.

>> Notable: Red light that appears before sunrise, and with the morning star that precedes and signals the sun’s arrival.

“The concept of the solar Eye as mother, consort, and daughter of a god was incorporated into royal ideology. Pharaohs took on the role of Ra, and their consorts were associated with the Eye and the goddesses equated with it. The sun disks and uraei that were incorporated into queens' headdresses during the New Kingdom reflect this mythological tie. The priestesses who acted as ceremonial "wives" of particular gods during the Third Intermediate Period (c. 1059–653 BC), such as the God's Wife of Amun, had a similar relationship with the gods they served.[64] Amenhotep III even dedicated a temple at Sedeinga in Nubia to his wife, Tiye, as a manifestation of the Eye of Ra, paralleling the temple to Amenhotep himself at nearby Soleb”.

>> Makes me wonder if this is not the origin of the incest practice in the royal family of ancient Egypt; when the Pharaoh married his sister to keep the bloodline pure. Reread about the Eye of Ra from the start if you didn’t understand my comment anons.

And now let’s take a look at where the Book of the Heavenly Cow was found:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid_Texts

“The Pyramid Texts are the oldest known corpus of ancient Egyptian religious texts dating to the Old Kingdom.[1][2] Written in Old Egyptian, the pyramid texts were carved onto the subterranean walls and sarcophagi of pyramids at Saqqara from the end of the Fifth Dynasty, and throughout the Sixth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom, and into the Eighth Dynasty of the First Intermediate Period.[3][4]

The oldest of the texts have been dated to c. 2400–2300 BC.[5] Unlike the later Coffin Texts and Book of the Dead, the pyramid texts were reserved only for the pharaoh and were not illustrated.[6] Following the earlier Palermo Stone, the pyramid texts mark the next-oldest known mention of Osiris, who would become the most important deity associated with afterlife in the Ancient Egyptian religion.[7]

The use and occurrence of pyramid texts changed between the Old, Middle, and New Kingdoms of Ancient Egypt. During the Old Kingdom (2686 BCE – 2181 BCE), pyramid texts could be found in the pyramids of kings as well as three queens named Wedjebten, Neith, and Iput.

During the Middle Kingdom (2055 BCE – 1650 BCE), pyramid texts were not written in the pyramids of the pharaohs, but the traditions of the pyramid spells continued to be practiced. In the New Kingdom (1550 BCE – 1070 BCE), pyramid texts could now be found on tombs of officials.”

“French archaeologist and Egyptologist Gaston Maspero, director of the French Institute for Oriental Archaeology in Cairo, arrived in Egypt in 1880. He chose a site in South Saqqara, a hill that had been mapped by the Prussian Egyptologist Karl Richard Lepsius in the prior decades, for his first archaeological dig. There, Maspero found the ruins of a large structure, which he concluded must be the pyramid of Pepi I of the Sixth Dynasty. During the excavations he was able to gain access to the subterranean rooms, and discovered that the walls of the structure were covered in hieroglyphic text.[9] Maspero contacted the then 'director of the excavations' in Egypt, Auguste Mariette, to inform him of the discovery, though Mariette concluded that the structure must be a mastaba as no writing had previously been discovered in a pyramid.

Maspero continued his excavations at a second structure, around one kilometre south-west of the first, in search of more evidence. This second structure was determined to be the pyramid of Merenre I, Pepi I's successor.[11] In it, Maspero discovered the same hieroglyphic text on the walls he'd found in Pepi I's pyramid,[12] and the mummy of a man in the sarcophagus of the burial chamber.[13][14][15] This time, he visited Mariette personally, though he rejected the findings, stating on his deathbed that "[i]n thirty years of Egyptian excavations I have never seen a pyramid whose underground rooms had hieroglyphs written on their walls."[11] Throughout 1881, Maspero continued to direct investigations of other sites in Saqqara, and more texts were found in each of the pyramids of Unas, Teti and Pepi II.[11] Maspero began publishing his findings in the Recueil des Travaux from 1882 and continued to be involved in the excavations of the pyramid in which the texts had been found until 1886.

Maspero published the first corpora of the text in 1894 in French under the title Les inscriptions des pyramides de Saqqarah.[12][17] Translations were made by German Egyptologist Kurt Heinrich Sethe to German in 1908–1910 in Die altägyptischen Pyramidentexte.[12] The concordance that Sethe published is considered to be the standard version of the texts.[17] Samuel A. B. Mercer published a translation into English of Sethe's work in 1952.[18] British Egyptologist Raymond O. Faulkner presented the texts in English in 1969 in The Ancient Egyptian Pyramid Texts”.

>> This is a good multi-language source of the text for anons.

“Gustave Jéquier conducted the first systematic investigations of Pepi II and his wives' pyramids – Neith, Iput II, and Wedjebetni[2] – between 1926 and 1932.[19][16] Jéquier also conducted the excavations of Qakare Ibi's pyramid.[17] He later published the complete corpus of texts found in these five pyramids.[17] Since 1958, expeditions under the directions of Jean-Philippe Lauer, Jean Sainte-Fare Garnot, and Jean Leclant have undertaken a major restoration project of the pyramids belonging to Teti, Pepi I, and Merenre I, as well as the pyramid of Unas.[17][20] By 1999, the pyramid of Pepi had been opened to the public, and the debris cleared away from the pyramid while research continued under the direction of Audran Labrousse [fr].[16] The corpus of pyramid texts in Pepi I's pyramid were published in 2001.[17] In 2010, the texts were discovered in Behenu's tomb”.

When reading about Ra along with the myth of the Destruction of mankind, I couldn’t help but noticing the big SNAKE of Chaos = Apep/Apophis. So I took a look at it as well:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apep

“Apep (/ˈæpɛp/ or /ˈɑːpɛp/; also spelled Apepi or Aapep) or Apophis (/ˈæpəfɪs/; Ancient Greek: Ἄποφις) was the ancient Egyptian deity who embodied chaos (ızft in Egyptian) and was thus the opponent of light and Ma'at (order/truth). He appears in art as a giant serpent. His name is reconstructed by Egyptologists as *ʻAʼpāp(ī), as it was written ꜥꜣpp(y) and survived in later Coptic as Ⲁⲫⲱⲫ Aphōph.[1] Apep was first mentioned in the Eighth Dynasty, and he was honored in the names of the Fourteenth Dynasty king 'Apepi and of the Greater Hyksos king Apophis.”

“Ra was the solar deity, bringer of light, and thus the upholder of Ma'at. Apep was viewed as the greatest enemy of Ra, and thus was given the title Enemy of Ra, and also "the Lord of Chaos".

Apep was seen as a giant snake or serpent leading to such titles as Serpent from the Nile and Evil Dragon. Some elaborations said that he stretched 16 yards in length and had a head made of flint. Already on a Naqada I (c. 4000 BC) C-ware bowl (now in Cairo) a snake was painted on the inside rim combined with other desert and aquatic animals as a possible enemy of a deity, possibly a solar deity, who is invisibly hunting in a big rowing vessel.[3]

While in most texts Apep is described as a giant snake, he is sometimes depicted as a crocodile.[4]

The few descriptions of Apep's origin in myth usually demonstrate that it was born after Ra, usually from his umbilical cord. Combined with its absence from Egyptian creation myths, this has been interpreted as suggesting that Apep was not a primordial force in Egyptian theology, but a consequence of Ra's birth. This suggests that evil in Egyptian theology is the consequence of an individual's own struggles against non-existence.”

>> Interesting how the “evil” is portrayed by a snake or a dragon in ancient Egyptian mythology. Even more interesting is this iconography of Ra (in the form of a Great cat) slaying Apep under a TREE.

I usually use Wikipedia as a general knowledge Encyclopedia online to give anons a super quick read on a subject in general, so they can get easily acquainted with it. For quick knowledge I usually go to Larousse or Bordas encyclopedias but they are in French; For English readers, well Britannica has changed. So if anons know any good, quick encyclopedia to read from, just to get the general knowledge, that will do. For ancient Egyptian civilization, I’m NOT going to use Wikipedia.

Around 2 decades ago, an acquaintance of mine, an Egyptologist, gave me this book as a gift. I have relied on it ever since when it comes to Ancient Egypt. It’s a very well formed, quick guide to ancient Egyptian civilization, very practical, giving you the information in a very summarized way along with supporting pictures. Not a fancy and elaborated book, but very useful and practical one. So this is what I’m going to rely on to talk about Ancient Egyptian Civilization in my next part. Since I have the French Edition, I’m going to type the text as it is from the book, then put a translation of the same text in English after it.

The later periods do not interest me because they don’t bring any NEW information for the goal of this research. This is why I’m only going to put the “earliest period” = pre-dynastic era. The further we go down the line, the further we are away from the point of origin; while the other way gets us closer to the Flood and the survivors.

The first 2 paragraphs of the introduction correspond to the period of interest in this research – In French:

“Les anciens Eyptiens nous semblent porteurs d’une civilisation supérieure venue d’un autre monde. Dans la période où les peuples de la terre sortaient péniblement de l’âge de pierre, avec des cultures de même niveau, le peuple égyptien nait adulte. Très tôt, il franchit les limites des possibilités humaines d’il y a six mille ans, comme formé par des expériences vécues dans un autre monde pourvu déjà d’une civilisation avancée.

Ainsi commence sur la terre arrosée par le Nil, une expérience unique. En quelques siècles, celle-ci se développe vertigineusement, en créant des oeuvres artistiques et scientifiques très en avance sur leur temps. La réalisation de la pyramide de Khéops, alors que l’on connissait ni le fer ni la roue, reste aujourd’hui un mystère. Nous sommes encore plus déconcertés en considérant qu’avant la réalisation de la Grande Pyramide, les Egyptiens avaient une technique et une organisation capables d’endiguer sur des milliers de kilomètres les crues du Nil et de transformer la terre marécageuse et le désert en un nouveau paradis terrestre! En considérant les durées de développement des autres peuples, dont certains sont demeurés à l’ère néolithique jusqu’à nos jours, on a le sentiment que le peuple de la “planète Egypte” a deux mille ans d’avance sur l’histoire du monde.”

“Birth of a civilization: Before the Pharaohs.

Before the explosion of Egyptian civilization, in the Paleolithic era, the Mediterranean Sea was cut into two large basins by a tongue of land that united Tunisia and Italy via the island of Malta. A huge ring of forest surrounded it on all sides and in place of the Nile there was a chain of vast lagoons and forests scattered all the way to the sea. The European fauna mixed with that of North Africa; Mediterranean Alpine races, mixed with Somali and Berber races, lived in a kind of Eden without borders.”

>> As anons can see, I’ve put a map from Google of that underwater terrain that is now submerged. I even tried to look at the Sea floor to see if there are any traces of structures, like maybe, just maybe pyramids or other “strange” stuff but I wasn’t lucky, I kept on getting blurry images. It’s a wild idea, I guess but the reason behind it is actually the Knights of Malta. Why are the bloodlines that “attached” to the Island of Malta? That tiny place in the middle of a sea, what’s so important about it? For those whom already know about this, they already guessed it’s connected to the Templars and the Holy Grail. But I want to know WHY this place out of all the islands in the Med Sea: WHY this tiny place out of nowhere? I think the answer might lie under water. I wish I could have found it but I couldn’t. I’m curious to know what’s down there.

“An undetermined cataclysm, between 10,000 and 8,000 BC., causes radical changes: the bridge between Tunisia and Italy collapses, leaving only the Maltese Islands; in North Africa the immense forests are gradually becoming scarce; the destroyed lagoons disappear making way for deserts of rocks and sand. The Nile begins to take its face to reveal itself as a gigantic snake, which from the heart of Africa, descends for thousands of kilometers along the Red Sea until it finds the Mediterranean Sea.”

>> So a cataclysmic event took place according to this book from around 10 to 8 thousands B.C. that ended with this piece of land being underwater. Interesting! So does this mean the cataclysmic event has something to do with water? As in displacing huge quantities of water? Something… MAYBE… like a FLOOD?

“Between 8,000 and 5,000 B.C., continual immigration and emigration occurred along Upper and Lower Egypt: they are peoples from Asia, central Africa and the West, survivors, maybe, of the legendary Atlantis. But the land of the Nile is becoming less and less hospitable, because the vice of the desert is relentlessly tightening and the flood of the great river is erasing in a muddy swamp every scrap of habitable land. And now, during the 4th millennium, an extraordinary people developed, capable of regulating muddy waters over kilometers, of coordinating agricultural work on thousands of hectares, of creating towns and cities, thus giving impetus to the largest organized society that has ever existed. Very pale are the reflections of similar experiences, which can only be found in Mesopotamia (Uruk, Ur, Lagash); nor is it possible to identify the origins except by returning to the lost continent of Atlantis imagined, three thousand years later, by Plato.”

>> In this section, they are hinting at comparing the structure of Mesopotamian civilization with the Ancient Egyptian one. By that, they mean that Irrigation, Terrain transformation, Urban development and Agricultural methods = those are the fields where the comparison and study should be conducted. And then they are explicitly saying that this advanced knowledge - not primitive - might have come from the legendary Atlantis, used and applied by the survivors. Just stop there anons and think about this deep. Then please read again this part. A lot of people, including anons go for the most obvious comparison point between the Sumerians and the Ancient Egyptians = Ziggurats versus Pyramids – But did anyone think of conducting a very deep research on the fields mentioned just now in the comment? (= agriculture, urbanism etc.). You didn’t think I put all of those Wikipedia pages just to bore anons do you? They are there to show you where you need to dig. And yes, I’ve also detected MANY BIG WAVES of MIGRATION all over Asia Minor, Middle East and Egypt in the same time frame mentioned. It’s way too complex and intertwined, I barely scratched the surface of it. Retracing and uncovering the migrations from back then is a task impossible for a single man to uncover with limited resources and time. It needs a team and funds along with international relations because of the geographic spread of it all.

Before I move on, I want to draw attention to a couple of things I’ve found near Malta, precisely to the East of Malta, on the Sea Floor.

Object of interest 1 = I’m going to “pretend” this is reef /rock and say that this is the most perfect alignment of reef I’ve ever seen in my life. It’s so perfect that it made a 90 degrees angle; giving it a rectangle shape. Is this even possible?

Object of interest 2 = As I kept on looking, I found something facing the Libyan shores; ironically, facing Benghazi. It looks like an elevated square platform on the Sea Floor = like a Ziggurat perhaps? Or is it just rocks and reef at the bottom of the Med Sea? I never knew that Mother Nature can create such perfect 90 degree angles like this.

These are the best images I could get without them being blurry. Unfortunately!. Just look at the size of this. It’s huge! And I’m having a hard time understanding and accepting what my eyes are seeing. I keep on telling myself my eyes are playing tricks on me. I’m totally confused and disoriented about this.

I’m going to put only additional images of this “object of interest 2” in the next page.

This is going to take some time to sink in.

Let’s continue with the translation:

“The Egyptians themselves claim that their history begins with the reign of Osiris and that before him there had already been three great divine reigns: the reign of Air Shou; the reign of the Ra Spirit, the reign of the Earth Geb. In these reigns seem to be sketched the eras preceding ours and in that of Geb, the era of Atlantis. Osiris, the god-king and man, is evoked as a man of infinite goodness and wisdom, who unites all the nomadic tribes and teaches them to transform the damage of the floods into benefits, to repel the destruction of the desert by irrigation and working the land, and in particular the cultivation of wheat to make flour and bread, vine to make wine, barley to make beer. Osiris also introduced the nomads to the extraction and working of metals and, with the sage Thor, taught them writing and art. His mission accomplished, he leaves on the throne his beloved and collaborating companion, Isis, and leaves for the East (Mesopotamia) to educate all peoples. On his return, his brother Seth, ambushes him, kills him, seizes the throne and disperses the members of the corpse throughout Egypt. Isis, overcome with pain, goes in search of her beloved husband, by divine inspiration succeeds in finding the remains and with the help of the faithful Anubis recomposes it. And here is the miracle: thanks to the tears of his inconsolable wife, Osiris revives and goes up to heaven after having left him a son, Horus. As an adult, after a long and uncertain struggle, Horus definitively kills the usurper and resumes the work of his father Osiris.”

>>Notables:

1 – We have 4 divine reigns on earth = 4 eras:

1A- Reign of Air Shou = Air Element.

1B- Reign of Earth Geb = Earth Element.

1C- Reign of Ra Spirit = Fire Element – reread Ra & “Eye of Ra”- (Page 69).

1D- Reign of Osiris = not mention but it should be Water Element.

2 - What is not mentioned is a version of the myth where Isis finds her husband’s body at the Phoenician city-state of Gbl (Gubal) = Byblos. This is related to us by Plutarch, which we already know is very biased when talking about a person, but is accurate in the description of objects and places. Plutarch should be read very carefully.

The next link contains what Plutarch wrote about it in his “Morals” =

As for this link about Byblos, I say it’s 90% accurate in the information they are providing about it =

Now let’s continue with the translation:

“This aurora, in which history and legend merge with the images of Atlantis or the "planet Egypt", is attested by this timeless and unique monument that is the Great Sphinx.

The Sphinx is attributed to Khafre (around 2550 BC), but no technical, architectural, or even logical continuity element attaches it to the Great Pyramid or to the monuments of this Pharaoh. The representation of the lion body with the human head reverses all the visions of the gods, with a human body and an animal head (leonine in the first couple), and accentuates the mystery of this colossal ideogram: monument of the ancient people to his first and great king Osiris, a military stone between terrestrial life and celestial life?”

>> I join my voice to most of my Egyptologist acquaintances when they say that Khafre’s face was not the original = initial face of the Sphinx. A lot believe Pharaoh Khafre re-carved it with his own face. I agree with that. Some might ask why the Pharaoh did that: well, the most logical explanation that comes to me is that the original, initial face was already damaged when Khafre was around. Seeing what an impressive monument the Sphinx is, he put his face on it. He thought he was worthy of such an honor (most probably).

From here on, it’s a compressed historical account of the pre-dynastic Egypt; that is the ERA before the DYNASTIES:

“The chosen people of six thousand years ago are divided into two large areas with contrasting characteristics: Upper Egypt, along the Nile which flows from the South to the north for hundreds of kilometers; and Lower Egypt, along the countless canals of the Delta, which extend for about 150 kilometers.

Upper Egypt, that is to say Egypt south of the Sphinx, has an increasingly narrow and less generous strip of land; and with the increase in the difficulties of life also develops the need to lock oneself in societies preoccupied especially with internal problems.

Lower Egypt, on the contrary, is a generous land, the dense population of which is in continuous contact with other peoples by an infinity of ways which always favor mercantile and maritime activities and, consequently, the flowering of open communities , self-sufficient, and in continuous fermentation.

Housing and work groups are developing especially in Lower Egypt; and they are all distinguished by their own symbols which identify with the personal division of their one god and become the emblem of the dominant family.

The first urban agglomerations that we know are those of Lower Egypt, where about 22 cities already have their “anointed”, that is to say the king consecrated by the anointing of sacred oil and decorated with the Libyan feather. Saïs and even more Métellis are the first cities which predominate over the entire Delta. Métellis is the great center where the gold of Nubia (1,500 km to the south) and the wood of Syria (1,000 km to the north) arrive.”

>> Urban structure = City-States, exactly like with the Sumerians.

>>9520703

(Please read from the start)

“This longa manus of Lower Egypt very quickly leads to confuse the god Min with the god Horus. The princes of Noubt are now the vassals of the new king and the new god. The king of Upper Egypt descends to Heliopolis to be sacred. Opposite Nekhen rises the holy city of Nekheb dedicated to the mother goddess Nekhbet, with the signs of the serpent and the vulture; the king of Upper Egypt adorns his white crown with the serpent of the goddess and his feast is renewed each spring with that of Horus-Min. During this feast, the king offers the god the first-fruits of these fields and immolates a white bull to ensure the fertility of the earth and the rebirth of life.

The original god Seth is now definitively dethroned; the times are ripe for a political and religious union after a thousand years of rivalry and isolation, but this great event is not, as all predicted, realized peacefully by Lower Egypt, but bellicose, by Upper Egypt. Indeed, the king of Nekhen, pushed by the council of the “Big Ten of the South”, gradually detached from the influence of the kingdom of Bouto, again in regression due to the individualistic nature of the cities of the Delta and the pressures exerted on the frontiers by the “people of the arc”, tribes of Western Asia attracted by the riches of Lower Egypt.

The king of Nekhen, finally, moved the capital to Abydos (This), and - on the pretext of freeing it from the grave threat - invaded the lands of the Delta. Each resistance center is drowned in blood; the very ancient city of Mendès is destroyed; Métellis, who tries to take the head of the final rebellion, is conquered and dismantled; and the ten most important citizens are beheaded by Narmer king of Upper Egypt, also red with the blood of his brothers killed. The 4th millennium is over, it is the beginning of the 1st dynasty and, with it, for us the Official History.”

>> Anons should keep in mind that these events happened way before the first dynasty = during the IVth millennia B.C. So a lot of people are not that familiar with this era.

Before we move forward, we must take a quick look at the writing system of Ancient Egypt:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_hieroglyphs

“Egyptian hieroglyphs /ˈhaɪrəɡlɪfs/[5][6] were the formal writing system used in Ancient Egypt. Hieroglyphs combined logographic, syllabic and alphabetic elements, with a total of some 1,000 distinct characters.[7][8] Cursive hieroglyphs were used for religious literature on papyrus and wood. The later hieratic and demotic Egyptian scripts were derived from hieroglyphic writing, as was the Proto-Sinaitic script that later evolved into the Phoenician alphabet.[9] Through the Phoenician alphabet's major child systems, the Greek and Aramaic scripts, the Egyptian hieroglyphic script is ancestral to the majority of scripts in modern use, most prominently the Latin and Cyrillic scripts (through Greek) and the Arabic script and Brahmic family of scripts (through Aramaic).”

>> It’s true that there are “cultural” and linguistic influences and exchanges between many civilizations and if you think about it, it’s normal for such things to happen; it even happens nowadays. But the fact that Phoenician evolved from Hieroglyphs ,well…This is what I was thought in my youth. And this is what I thought to be true, real, ever since then….that is, until last year….when I found out about something that changed my entire understanding about the Hieroglyphic writing influencing and helping create the Phoenician alphabet. This is connected to a later section in this research, so please take note of this for now.

“The use of hieroglyphic writing arose from proto-literate symbol systems in the Early Bronze Age, around the 32nd century BC (Naqada III),[2] with the first decipherable sentence written in the Egyptian language dating to the Second Dynasty (28th century BC). Egyptian hieroglyphs developed into a mature writing system used for monumental inscription in the classical language of the Middle Kingdom period; during this period, the system made use of about 900 distinct signs. The use of this writing system continued through the New Kingdom and Late Period, and on into the Persian and Ptolemaic periods. Late survivals of hieroglyphic use are found well into the Roman period, extending into the 4th century AD.[4]

With the final closing of pagan temples in the 5th century, knowledge of hieroglyphic writing was lost. Although attempts were made, the script remained undeciphered throughout the Middle Ages and the early modern period. The decipherment of hieroglyphic writing was finally accomplished in the 1820s by Jean-François Champollion, with the help of the Rosetta Stone.”

“History and evolution

Origin

Hieroglyphs may have emerged from the preliterate artistic traditions of Egypt. For example, symbols on Gerzean pottery from c. 4000 BC have been argued to resemble hieroglyphic writing.

Proto-hieroglyphic symbol systems developed in the second half of the 4th millennium BC, such as the clay labels of a Predynastic ruler called "Scorpion I" (Naqada IIIA period, c. 33rd century BC) recovered at Abydos (modern Umm el-Qa'ab) in 1998 or the Narmer Palette (c. 31st century BC).”

- Page 92 –

>>9533749

(Please read from the start)

“The first full sentence written in mature hieroglyphs so far discovered was found on a seal impression in the tomb of Seth-Peribsen at Umm el-Qa'ab, which dates from the Second Dynasty (28th or 27th century BC). Around 800 hieroglyphs are known to date back to the Old Kingdom, Middle Kingdom and New Kingdom Eras. By the Greco-Roman period, there were more than 5,000.

Geoffrey Sampson stated that Egyptian hieroglyphs "came into existence a little after Sumerian script, and, probably, [were] invented under the influence of the latter",[20] and that it is "probable that the general idea of expressing words of a language in writing was brought to Egypt from Sumerian Mesopotamia".[21][22] There are many instances of early Egypt-Mesopotamia relations, but given the lack of direct evidence for the transfer of writing, "no definitive determination has been made as to the origin of hieroglyphics in ancient Egypt".[23] Others have held that "the evidence for such direct influence remains flimsy” and that “a very credible argument can also be made for the independent development of writing in Egypt…"[24] Since the 1990s, the above-mentioned discoveries of glyphs at Abydos, dated to between 3400 and 3200 BCE, have shed doubt on the classical notion that the Mesopotamian symbol system predates the Egyptian one. However, Egyptian writing appeared suddenly at that time, while Mesopotamia had a long evolutionary history of sign usage in tokens dating back to circa 8000 BCE.

Hieroglyphs became the inspiration for the original alphabet that was ancestral to nearly all others, including the Latin alphabet.”

>> So since now we checked the writing system in ancient Egypt, we can compare it to the cuneiform system including the chronology and the linguistic evolution of both.

There are also Out-of-Place-Artifacts in Ancient Egypt and we are going to take a look at them next:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out-of-place_artifact

The first one mentioned in this Wikipedia page is what is called the “Helicopter Hieroglyphics” – I know, strange name, but it was named this way because it contained the pictogram of a helicopter as well as other "modern” transport vehicles. And this is what they say about them in this Wikipedia page:

“Abydos helicopter: A pareidolia based on palimpsest carving in an ancient Egyptian temple.”

>> They are telling us that we have an incorrect perception of an object when we look at it. In this case, it’s the shape of a Helicopter. In other words, our minds are playing visual tricks on us according to Wikipedia.

- Page 93 –

>>9533777

(Please read from the start)

So let’s take a closer look at this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicopter_hieroglyphs

“Helicopter hieroglyphs refer to an Egyptian hieroglyph carving from the Temple of Seti I at Abydos.

The "helicopter" image is the result of carved stone being re-used over time. The initial carving was made during the reign of Seti I and translates to "He who repulses the nine [enemies of Egypt]". This carving was later filled in with plaster and re-carved during the reign of Ramesses II with the title "He who protects Egypt and overthrows the foreign countries". Over time, the plaster has eroded away, leaving both inscriptions partially visible and creating a palimpsest-like effect of overlapping hieroglyphs.

In paleocontact hypothesis circles[3] the hieroglyphics have been interpreted as an out-of-place artifact depicting a helicopter as well as other examples of modern technology. This claim is dismissed by Egyptologists who highlight this pareidolia is partly based on widely distributed retouched images that removed key details from the actual carvings.”

>> Interesting how the “explanation” changed from an incorrect perception to a re-carved Hieroglyph, so this is why we have an incorrect perception. But you see anons, this explanation doesn’t hold ground. Why?

1st of all, each and every single Hieroglyph is ORDERED by the Pharaoh. This means this is his will and divine request.

2nd, there are professional SPECIALIZED SCRIBES whom put these Hieroglyphs writing together.

3rd, any simple worker cannot just come along and carve whatever he wants to. Any wrong step or mistake while carving this will cost the worker not just his hands and his life, but also the life of his entire family. This was divine work, sacred, no mistakes were allowed.

4th, this process doesn’t just include the scribes who put the text together but also the priests who go through various ceremonies as those writings are carved in the temple…just like what we saw with the pyramid texts.

5th, Ramses II was very close to his father during the kingship of Seti I (as shown in the reliefs from Seti I Temple at Abydos – See picture attached). Even after the death of the later, there are many signs, of respect from his son towards him, including protecting his mummy and tomb from thieves. It was considered a sacrilege to touch or deform anything related to the deceased, especially if it was a Pharaoh. If this inscription’s plaster broke and a piece fell, Ramses would have restored it as it is – maybe ADD a part NEXT to it, but NOT change it. Records of such inscriptions were kept either by royal scribes or priesthood, maybe even both. So Ramses II could have easily restored the inscription without committing a sacrilege.

- Page 94 –

>>9533855

(Please read from the start)

6th. this theory of having one layer on top of the other doesn’t hold up. The rules were very strict and rigid from the very top (Pharaoh) to the bottom = the worker who is going to carve this. Ancient Egyptian were very superstitious about such things as change, this is one of the reasons why they went into so much length into preserving the dead bodies as much as they could to how it was when alive. They feared the soul won’t recognize its original body if there was the slightest change. And this can be applied to everything that has to do with funerary and religious stuff; mostly the Hieroglyphics. These sacred words and Hymns were considered just as essential for the afterlife as the other rituals conducted for the dead.

7th, this point is connected to the previous one: there were very strict rules when it comes to sculptures and carving that’s why we see them as stereotyped, apart a few exceptions like Akhenaten era .So there is no way on earth (unless he got strict orders from the top) that the worker sculpting this might have imagined the “forms” as they are. There were known designs which were taught while the worker was still an apprentice; like if you want to carve a duck this is how you do it, no other way; or if you want to carve a snake under a circle, this is how it looks like, no other way….this is why I called it stereotyped. This is not like handwriting = each has his own personal handwriting. No, this was more like making copies of the same thing. So these glyphs were not “INVENTED” or “IMAGINED” or put there randomly by the worker.

All the above (the 7 points argument) is my own analysis and view. No sources. It’s the result of many years of digging, reading and mostly years of experience, as in accumulating all of this in my head. I may be a bit off on some details or notions, I guess some of my readings are old and new info was put out there – mostly that I’m writing this out of memory. Plus, I don’t remember ever seeing an Egyptian hieroglyphic inscription written one on top of the other = having many layers = over layered inscription. So anons can check these out themselves if they are interested in.

So for all of these reasons, the main history explanations don’t hold up.

The alternative historians offer us other types of explanation like Time Travel or U.F.O. contact etc.; as they try to identify the “objects” in the inscription. But none made any sense to me.

What if there was a third alternative? A third explanation? An explanation that can be found if we explore the CONTEXT of the Helicopter Hieroglyph = zooming out.

I’ve said this before, archaeologists are like crime scene investigators; we don’t analyze only the evidence collected, but we also check the entire crime scene to see if everything fits and we try to recreate the events that took place. And this is what I’m going to try to do next.

The first thing to do is to explore the site itself = Abydos and then the Temple in question:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abydos,_Egypt#Temple_of_Seti_I

“Abydos (Arabic: ‎; /əˈbaɪdɒs/ Sahidic Coptic: Ebōt) is one of the oldest cities of ancient Egypt, and also of the eighth nome in Upper Egypt. It is located about 11 kilometres (6.8 miles) west of the Nile at latitude 26° 10' N, near the modern Egyptian towns of el-'Araba el Madfuna and al-Balyana. In the ancient Egyptian language, the city was called Abdju (ꜣbḏw or AbDw). The English name Abydos comes from the Greek Ἄβυδος, a name borrowed by Greek geographers from the unrelated city of Abydos on the Hellespont.

Considered one of the most important archaeological sites in Egypt, the sacred city of Abydos was the site of many ancient temples, including Umm el-Qa'ab, a royal necropolis where early pharaohs were entombed.[1] These tombs began to be seen as extremely significant burials and in later times it became desirable to be buried in the area, leading to the growth of the town's importance as a cult site.

Today, Abydos is notable for the memorial temple of Seti I, which contains an inscription from the nineteenth dynasty known to the modern world as the Abydos King List. It is a chronological list showing cartouches of most dynastic pharaohs of Egypt from Menes until Seti I's father, Ramesses I.

The Great Temple and most of the ancient town are buried under the modern buildings to the north of the Seti temple.[3] Many of the original structures and the artifacts within them are considered irretrievable and lost; many may have been destroyed by the new construction.”

“History

Abydos was occupied by the rulers of the Predynastic period,[4] whose town, temple and tombs have been found there. The temple and town continued to be rebuilt at intervals down to the times of the Thirtieth Dynasty, and the cemetery was in continuous use.

The pharaohs of the First Dynasty were buried in Abydos, including Narmer, who is regarded as the founder of the First Dynasty, and his successor, Aha.[6] It was in this time period that the Abydos boats were constructed. Some pharaohs of the Second Dynasty were also buried in Abydos. The temple was renewed and enlarged by these pharaohs as well. Funerary enclosures, misinterpreted in modern times as great 'forts', were built on the desert behind the town by three kings of the Second Dynasty; the most complete is that of Khasekhemwy.

From the Fifth Dynasty, the deity Khentiamentiu, foremost of the Westerners, came to be seen as a manifestation of the dead pharaoh in the underworld. Pepi I (Sixth Dynasty) constructed a funerary chapel which evolved over the years into the Great Temple of Osiris, the ruins of which still exist within the town enclosure. Abydos became the centre of the worship of the Isis and Osiris cult.

During the First Intermediate Period, the principal deity of the area, Khentiamentiu, began to be seen as an aspect of Osiris, and the deities gradually merged and came to be regarded as one. Khentiamentiu's name became an epithet of Osiris. […]

[…]

Seti I, during the Nineteenth Dynasty, founded a temple to the south of the town in honor of the ancestral pharaohs of the early dynasties; this was finished by Ramesses II, who also built a lesser temple of his own.[5] Merneptah added the Osireion, just to the north of the temple of Seti.”

“Main sites

Temple of Seti I

The temple of Seti I was built on entirely new ground half a mile to the south of the long series of temples just described. This surviving building is best known as the Great Temple of Abydos, being nearly complete and an impressive sight.[9] A principal purpose of the temple was to serve as a memorial to king Seti I, as well as to show reverence for the early pharaohs, which is incorporated within as part of the "Rite of the Ancestors".

>> Paying homage and respect to the ancestors.

“The long list of the pharaohs of the principal dynasties—recognized by Seti—are carved on a wall and known as the "Abydos King List" (showing the cartouche name of many dynastic pharaohs of Egypt from the first, Narmer or Menes, until Seti's time)- with the exception of those noted above. There were significant names deliberately left off of the list. So rare, as an almost complete list of pharaoh names, the Table of Abydos, rediscovered by William John Bankes, has been called the "Rosetta Stone" of Egyptian archaeology, analogous to the Rosetta Stone for Egyptian writing, beyond the Narmer Palette.

There were also seven chapels built for the worship of the pharaoh and principal deities. These included three chapels for the "state" deities Ptah, Re-Horakhty, and (centrally positioned) Amun-Re and the challenge for the Abydos triad of Osiris, Isis and Horus. The rites recorded in the deity chapels represent the first complete form known of the Daily Ritual, which was performed daily in temples across Egypt throughout the pharaonic period. […]”

>> Number 7 shows up again.

“Except for the list of pharaohs and a panegyric on Ramesses II, the subjects are not historical, but religious in nature, dedicated to the transformation of the king after his death. The temple reliefs are celebrated for their delicacy and artistic refinement, utilizing both the archaism of earlier dynasties with the vibrancy of late 18th Dynasty reliefs. The sculptures had been published mostly in hand copy, not facsimile, by Auguste Mariette in his Abydos, I. The temple has been partially recorded epigraphically by Amice Calverley and Myrtle Broome in their 4 volume publication of The Temple of King Sethos I at Abydos (1933–1958).”

>> What was written about Seti I Temple at Abydos confirms the 7 points arguments I’ve talked about (Pages 94-95). All the reliefs there show the close relationship between father and son and how much the later respected the Pharaoh. So there is no way Ramses II would change a written inscription made by Seti I, it’s considered as sacrilege. I hope anons took note of when Auguste Mariette “worked” on Abydos.”

“Umm El Qa'ab

The royal necropolises of the earliest dynasties were placed about a mile into the great desert plain, in a place now known as Umm El Qa'ab "The Mother of Pots" because of the shards remaining from all of the devotional objects left by religious pilgrims.

[…]

Afterward, the tombs increased in size and complexity. The tomb-pit was surrounded by chambers to hold offerings, the sepulchre being a great wooden chamber in the midst of the brick-lined pit. Rows of small pits, tombs for the servants of the pharaoh, surrounded the royal chamber, many dozens of such burials being usual.[9] Some of the offerings included sacrificed animals, such as the asses found in the tomb of Merneith. Evidence of human sacrifice exists in the early tombs, such as the 118 servants in the tomb of Merneith, but this practice was changed into symbolic offerings later.”

>> This is exactly like what we saw with the Sumerians at the royal pit of Ur, with Queen Puabi’s tomb, where her servants and maids followed her into death to serve her in the afterlife (page 57). This has nothing to do with RITUAL sacrifice as I’ve said before. They don’t take a knife and cut the victim’s heart out or take the liver out. No! This is different. The servants willingly follow their master and owner into the afterlife to serve him/her there as they did when they were alive.

Since we understand now the CONTEXT in which the Helicopter Hieroglyph is, we need to add one last element to solve the puzzle (at least try to solve it): anons should take a look at the layout of Seti I temple at Abydos (Page 97). What do you see in the upper left hand corner? = 4 Archive rooms. This is where the temple archives were kept. Same type of rooms existed in the royal palace and scribe schools and even at the sculptor’s workshop. This is what I was trying to explain in my 7 points arguments.

This type of Archives room existed from pre-dynastic times, all the way down to the Ptolemaic rule. In the historical segment I put about pre-dynastic Egypt, Abydos was a major city, and played a major role, not just as a capital but as a trade and religious center. This means there were royal records, funerary records, religious records, trade records, military records and diplomatic records etc.

But if you read carefully what was written about Seti I Temple along with the historical part I’ve put, life in Abydos wasn’t that peaceful and the earliest temple ended up burning to totally vanished during the fourth dynasty. I don’t know which archive was “saved” and preserved as well as how many. But it seems some have survived due to the “king list” we have on the temple wall. This is how Seti I scribes and priests gathered the name of the previous kings = the archives. They were consulted not just to know the list of the king names but to also know HOW they are written.

Now I’m going to move to the next out-of-place-Artifact from the same Wikipedia page, so I’m not going to repost the link:

“Saqqara Bird: Supposedly depicts a glider, but made in Ancient Egypt.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saqqara_Bird#Controversial_ideas

“The Saqqara Bird is a bird-shaped artifact made of sycamore wood, discovered during the 1898 excavation of the Pa-di-Imen tomb in Saqqara, Egypt. It has been dated to approximately 200 BCE, and is now housed in the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities in Cairo. The Saqqara Bird has a wingspan of 180 mm (7.1 in) and weighs 39.12 g (1.380 oz).[1] Its purpose is not understood because of a lack of period documentation.”

“Conventional ideas

Some think the Saqqara Bird may be a ceremonial object because the falcon, the bird after which the Saqqara Bird is modeled, is the form most commonly used to represent several of the most important gods of Egyptian mythology, most notably the falcon deity Horus and the sun deity Ra Horakhty. Others have posited it may have been a toy for an elite child, or that it could have functioned as a weather vane. Some have also speculated it may have been used as a sort of boomerang, as such technology was common and well known in ancient Egypt in the form of a throwing stick used for hunting waterfowl.[2] Another hypothesis is that this bird was positioned on the masthead of sacred boats used during the Opet Festival.[3] Reliefs showing those boats are found in the Temple of Khonsu at Karnak and date to the late New Kingdom.”

“Controversial ideas

Some have suggested that the Saqqara Bird may represent evidence that knowledge of the principles of aviation existed many centuries before such are generally believed to have first been discovered. Egyptian physician, archaeologist and parapsychologist Khalil Messiha has speculated that the ancient Egyptians developed the first aircraft.[5] In spite of these claims, however, no ancient Egyptian aircraft have ever been found, nor has any other evidence suggesting their existence come to light. As a result, the theory that the Saqqara Bird is a model of a flying machine is not accepted by mainstream Egyptologists. Richard P. Hallion notes that it is "far too heavy and unstable itself to fly.”

>> I actually agree partially with both the conventional idea and the unconventional idea.

It all depends on the perspective or point of view = from which angle you see this. If you take this object individually, on its own, then I lean on it being a child’s toy. But if we see this in a bigger context = looking at the bigger picture, then yes, this artifact can be considered as the first “aircraft” – sort of speak. The work done on this artifact, the precision in the carving and the shape, everything about it is remarkable.

We cannot rule out this artifact because of the big picture. If the Helicopter Hieroglyph didn’t exist centuries before, I would have considered the Saqqara Bird as a coincidence. But since the Heli Glyph exists, we cannot rule this one out. Anons shouldn’t forget how old Saqqara’s site is.

If anons lean towards the conventional or unconventional idea about this artifact; either way, it doesn’t matter because both have a common point = FLIGHT. Either it’s a toy or a small replica of an airplane, they both represent the same thing = FLYING = FLIGHT = the ability to FLY. And this is the importance of this artifact. The next article is well written.

The third out-of-place Artifact listed in that Wikipedia page is the Dendera lamps:

“Dendera Lamps: Supposed to depict light bulbs, but made in Ptolemaic Egypt.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dendera_light

“The Dendera light is a motif carved as a set of stone reliefs in the Hathor temple at Dendera in Egypt, which superficially resemble modern electric lighting devices. A fringe hypothesis suggests that the Dendera light depicts advanced electrical technology possessed by the ancient Egyptians; however, mainstream Egyptologists view the carvings as representing instead a typical set of symbolic images from Egyptian mythology. These depict a djed pillar and a lotus flower spawning a snake inside it, symbols of stability and fertility, respectively.”

“Mainstream interpretation

The view of Egyptologists is that the relief is a mythological depiction of a djed pillar and a lotus flower (Nymphaea caerulea), spawning a snake within, representing aspects of Egyptian mythology.[1][2] The djed pillar is a symbol of stability which is also interpreted as the backbone of the god Osiris. In the carvings the four horizontal lines forming the capital of the djed are supplemented by human arms stretching out, as if the djed were a backbone. The arms hold up the snake within the lotus flower. The snakes coming from the lotus symbolize fertility, linked to the annual Nile flood.”

>> I do not agree with the mainstream interpretation about the relief….but I also agree with them about the Djed pillar.

“Fringe interpretation

In contrast to the mainstream interpretation, a fringe hypothesis proposes that the reliefs depict Ancient Egyptian electrical technology, based on comparison to similar modern devices (such as Geissler tubes, Crookes tubes, and arc lamps). J. N. Lockyer's passing reference to a colleague's humorous suggestion that electric lamps would explain the absence of lampblack deposits in the tombs has sometimes been forwarded as an argument supporting this particular interpretation (another argument being made is the use of a system of reflective mirrors).[3] Proponents of this interpretation have also used a text referring to "high poles covered with copper plates" to argue this,[4] but Bolko Stern has written in detail explaining why the copper-covered tops of poles (which were lower than the associated pylons) do not relate to electricity or lightning, pointing out that no evidence of anything used to manipulate electricity had been found in Egypt and that this was a magical and not a technical installation.

Archaeologist and debunker Kenneth Feder argued that if ancient Egyptians really had such advanced technology, some light bulb remains (glass shards, metal sockets, filaments…) should have been discovered during archaeological excavations. By applying the Occam's razor, he instead highlighted the feasibility of the aforementioned reflective mirrors system, and also that the notion of adding salt to torches to minimize lampblack was well known by ancient Egyptians.”

>> The reflective mirror system was used by Hollywood in the movie called: the Mummy (stars Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz).

Notice how they start with using the word “superficial resemblance” just to cast doubt and make you doubt what your own eyes are seeing clearly. Then, there is the problem with the refusal of mainstream Egyptologist to admit the usage of light bulbs. They give arguments based on what we know today as light bulbs, but the thing is….we absolutely have clue or any type of idea what they used as a light bulb in Ancient Egypt. It may look like a modern light bulb but this doesn’t mean it’s composed of the same elements as one. The elements composing it might be made of something totally different, a different type of material.

Another important argument point in all of this is that if you have a light bulb then you should have a power source = an electric generator, that produces the needed electricity to make that bulb do its work = function = light up. So just like Saqqara bird, individually, the Dendera light bulbs don’t hold too much ground. This is why we gotta look at the bigger picture, see the context and then try to combine it with other elements out there, in order to make sense of it all. Here, we have half of the riddle, not all of it.

- Page 101 –

>>9611446

(Please read from the start)

Before checking out the CONTEXT of the Dendera Light bulb, I want to make a small detour by taking a quick look at the Djed Pillar.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Djed

“The djed (Ancient Egyptian: ḏd 𓊽, Coptic ϫⲱⲧ jōt "pillar", anglicized /dʒɛd/)[1] is one of the more ancient and commonly found symbols in ancient Egyptian religion. It is a pillar-like symbol in Egyptian hieroglyphs representing stability. It is associated with the creator god Ptah and Osiris, the Egyptian god of the afterlife, the underworld, and the dead. It is commonly understood to represent his spine.”

“Myth

In the Osiris myth, Osiris was killed by Set by being tricked into a coffin made to fit Osiris exactly. Set then had the coffin with the now deceased Osiris flung into the Nile. The coffin was carried by the Nile to the ocean and on to the city of Byblos in Lebanon. It ran aground and a sacred tree took root and rapidly grew around the coffin, enclosing the coffin within its trunk. The king of the land, intrigued by the tree's quick growth, ordered the tree cut down and installed as a pillar in his palace, unaware that the tree contained Osiris's body.

Meanwhile, Isis searched for Osiris aided by Anubis, and came to know of Osiris's location in Byblos. Isis maneuvered herself into the favor of the king and queen and was granted a boon. She asked for the pillar in the palace hall, and upon being granted it, extracted the coffin from the pillar. She then consecrated the pillar, anointing it with myrrh and wrapping it in linen. This pillar came to be known as the pillar of djed.”

>> This “myth” is related to us by Plutarch, so anons should be careful with it. Plutarch was super biased. I nicknamed him the Roman times CNN. (Link in page 86).

“Origin and development

The djed may originally have been a fertility cult related pillar made from reeds or sheaves[3] or a totem from which sheaves of grain were suspended[4] or grain was piled around.[5] Erich Neumann remarks that the djed pillar is a tree fetish, which is significant considering that Egypt was primarily treeless. He indicates that the myth may represent the importance of the importation of trees by Egypt from Syria.[6] The djed came to be associated with Seker, the falcon god of the Memphite Necropolis, then with Ptah, the Memphite patron god of craftsmen.[7] Ptah was often referred to as "the noble djed", and carried a scepter that was a combination of the djed symbol and the ankh, the symbol of life.[3] Ptah gradually came to be assimilated into Osiris. By the time of the New Kingdom, the djed was firmly associated with Osiris.

[…]”

>> And here lies the importance of the Djed: was it originally a tree that was depicted as a pillar or was it the other way around? Why is this important? It’s important because we have seen a Tree with a snake (and other demons) in the Epic of Gilgamesh (page 37), which reminds us of the Apple Tree of Adam and Eve….and….we’ve also seen a Tree in the battle between Ra (feline shape) and Apep (page 76). And this is where I want get the attention of anons: is it really a tree or was it a pillar or a column….maybe, just maybe….even a tower….that was depicted as a tree in the old myths?

(Please read from the start)

“Ceremonial usage

The djed was an important part of the ceremony called "raising the djed", which was a part of the celebrations of the Sed festival, the Egyptian jubilee celebration. The act of raising the djed has been explained as representing Osiris's triumph over Seth.[11] Ceremonies in Memphis are described where the pharaoh, with the help of the priests, raised a wooden djed column using ropes. The ceremony took place during the period when fields were sown and the year's agricultural season would begin, corresponding to the month of Koiak, the fourth month of the Season of the Inundation. This ceremony was a part of one of the more popular holidays and celebrations of the time, a larger festival dedicated to Osiris conducted from the 13th to 30th day of the Koiak. Celebrated as it was at that time of the year when the soil and climate were most suitable for agriculture, the festival and its ceremonies can be seen as an appeal to Osiris, who was the God of vegetation, to favor the growth of the seeds sown, paralleling his own resurrection and renewal after his murder by Seth.”

>> It’s because of this ceremony where they “raise up” the Djed that I’m suspecting it to be originally something else = like maybe a tree, a tower or a column….

“Further celebrations surrounding the raising of the djed are described in a relief in Amenhotep III's Luxor Temple. In the tomb in the temple, the scene shows the raising of the djed pillar taking place in the morning of Amenhotep III's third Sed festival, which took place in his thirty-seventh regnal year. The scene is described by Sigrid Hodel-Hoenes:

The anthropomorphized pillar stands at the middle left, in a shrine. It has taken the shape of a human body with the djed-pillar as its head; the eyes are udjat-eyes. The hands hold the crook and flail, the usual insignia of Osiris, the god of the dead. On its head is the tall feather crown with the solar disk. The pillar is on a high base reminiscent of the platforms visible today in many temples, on which the cult barks once stood. In front of and behind it are lotus and papyrus blossoms. Beneath the large slab of the base are two tall offering stands – one bears a libation vessel, while flowers have been laid on the other. To the right is the king himself, presenting a generously laid table. Fowl, cucumbers, blossoms, breads, and heads and ribs of beef are all lying on the upper mat, while a cow and an antelope can be seen on the lower one. Beneath these mats are four tall vessels containing unguents and oil, with bundles of lettuce sticking out among them. The vulture goddess, Wadjyt, the Mistress of the Per-nu shrine, has spread her protective wings above the sovereign, with the blue crown on his head.

— Sigrid Hodel-Hoenes, Life and death in ancient Egypt : scenes from private tombs in new kingdom Thebes, p. 222.

There is also a scene depicted in the tomb to the right of the above scene which has not been well preserved. Hodel-Hoenes explains that it once showed the pharaoh, accompanied by his queen, using a rope to raise the djed pillar. Three men, probably priests of the temple of Memphis, help him in the process. A fourth priest was seen supporting the pillar. Various offerings were presented before the pillar below the ropes. The pharaoh and his queen are each accompanied by four pairs of young women resembling those of the sed-festival. Each of these women is rattling a Hathor sistrum, a musical instrument for percussion with a U-shaped handle and frame seen as resembling the face and horns of the cow goddess Hathor, while holding a menat, a protective amulet associated with Hathor, in the other hand. A line of hieroglyphs running just above the girls' heads in each row of women says, "Children of the king praising (or charming) the noble djed pillar." Hodel-Hoenes interprets this as identifying the girls as the daughters of Amenhotep III.

There are three additional reliefs below these two reliefs. They depict further ceremonies that accompany the erection of the djed pillar, especially games and dances […]”

(Please read from the start)

The festival of the raising of the djed also involved reenactments conducted at Denderah, Edfu, Busiris, Memphis, and Philae. But the most elaborate and grand celebration occurred at Abydos, the cult center of Osiris. From around the end of the third millennium BC during the beginning of the Dynasty XII and perhaps as early as the Dynasty VI three hundred years earlier, reenactments of the Osiris myth – the deception and murder of Osiris by Seth, the search for Osiris by Isis and Osiris' mummification, funeral and his resurrection were performed. From the late fourth century BC, a recitation of the Lamentations of Isis and Nephthys, a poem describing Isis and Nephthys' search for Osiris, was added to the ceremony on the 25th day of Koiak. At the Osiris Temple in Abydos, these re-enactments are described as involving hundreds of priests and priestesses in the roles of the gods and goddesses, with 34 reed boats carrying the gods, a sculpture of Osiris inside an elaborate chest, 365 ornamental lamps, incense, and dozens of djed amulets.”

>> All of these centers mentioned are not just a place where Osiris cult was celebrated but most, apart Philae are very old sites = city-states from before the unification of the 2 kingdoms = pre-dynastic era.

“Usage as amulets

The djed pillar was often used as amulets for the living and the dead. It was placed as an amulet near the spines of mummified bodies, which was supposed to ensure the resurrection of the dead, allowing the deceased to live eternally.[5] The Egyptian Book of the Dead lists a spell which when spoken over a gold amulet hung around the mummy's neck, ensures that the mummy would regain use of its spine and be able to sit up. It was also painted onto coffins.”

“Parallels in other cultures

Parallels have also been drawn between the djed pillar and various items in other cultures. Sidney Smith in 1922, first suggested a parallel with the Assyrian "sacred tree" when he drew attention to the presence of the upper four bands of the djed pillar and the bands that are present in the center of the vertical portion of the tree. He also proposed a common origin between Osiris and the Assyrian god Assur with whom he said, the sacred tree might be associated. Cohen and Kangas suggest that the tree is probably associated with the Sumerian god of male fertility, Enki and that for both Osiris and Enki, an erect pole or polelike symbol stands beneath a celestial symbol. They also point out that the Assyrian king is depicted in proximity to the sacred tree, which is similar to the depiction of the pharaoh in the raising of the djed ceremony. Additionally, the sacred tree and the Assyrian winged disk, which are generally depicted separately, are combined in certain designs, similar to the djed pillar which is sometimes surmounted with a solar disk.[13] Katherine Harper and Robert Brown also discuss a possible strong link between the djed column and the concept of kundalini in yoga.”

>> I see some found matches with Assyria, but those can also be found in a much older date, as in going back to Sumerian civilization.

There are many interpretations in the alternative history about the Djed. Some even suggested that they might be electrical poles and this is why we see them on the relief of the Dendera Temple. I don’t know if this is the true interpretation of the Djed. But we are still stuck with the same issue if we take the Djed on its own = where the electricity came from? What generated it? This is why we got to gather the rest of the riddle pieces and take a look at the bigger picture and not just concentrate on one specific item. This is a riddle made of different parts and till now = where I am in this thread – we’ve got 2 parts of it = a relief with a light bulb and the Djed.

Before I move on, I want to draw anons attention to what is written in page 103 about the feathered crown: “On its head is the tall feather crown with the solar disk”.

Just like in Mesopotamia, we have in Ancient Egypt feathered headdresses (or crowns) as well, worn by the nobility and the royals. The pictures I’m putting are from various dynasties, I’m mixing them up because all I want is a visual. This is a research and comparison field anons can use and dig in = the feathered headdresses. It’s another common point in many of the ancient civilizations, which always made me wonder if this is not a tradition brought from before the deluge.

Just like what I did with the Helicopter Hieroglyph, I’m going to take a look at the CONTEXT for the Dendera lights as well. So the first place to look is the town of Dendera itself:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dendera

“Dendera (Arabic: ‎ Dandarah; Ancient Greek: Τεντυρις or Τεντυρα) also spelled Denderah, ancient Iunet,[3] Tentyris[4][5] or Tentyra[6] is a small town and former bishopric in Egypt situated on the west bank of the Nile, about 5 kilometres (3 mi) south of Qena, on the opposite side of the river. It is located approximately 60 kilometres (37 mi) north of Luxor and remains a Latin Catholic titular see. It contains the Dendera Temple complex, one of the best-preserved temple sites from ancient Upper Egypt.”

“History

At a rather isolated place at the edge of the desert, about 2.5 kilometres (1.6 mi) south-west of the modern town, lies what Dendera is famous for, a mostly Greco-Roman temple complex known in ancient Egyptian as Iunet or Tantere. The modern Arab town is built on the ancient site of Ta-ynt-netert, which means 'She of the Divine Pillar.' In the Greek era, the town was known as Tentyra. It was once the -modest- capital of the 6th Nome (Pharaonic province) of Upper Egypt, and was also called Nikentori or Nitentori, which means 'willow wood' or 'willow earth'. Some scholars[who?] believe the name derives from the sky and fertility goddess Hathor, also associated with the Greek Aphrodite, who was especially worshiped there. The official deity of the city was a crocodile. Crocodiles were also venerated as deities in other Egyptian cities, which gave rise to many quarrels, notably with Ombos.”

>> Just like Abydos, Dendera was a city-state in the pre-dynastic era. It was the capital of the 6th nome so this means it was a trade and a religious center; which in turns means = ARCHIVES.

“Temple complex

The Dendera Temple complex, which contains the Temple of Hathor, is one of the best-preserved temples, if not the best-preserved one, in all of Upper Egypt. The whole complex covers some 40,000 square meters and is surrounded by a hefty mud brick wall. The present building dates back to the times of the Ptolemaic dynasty and was completed by the Roman emperor Tiberius, but it rests on the foundations of earlier buildings dating back at least as far as Khufu (known as the Great Pyramid builder Cheops, the second Pharaoh of the 4th dynasty [c. 2613–c. 2494 BC]) but it was the pharao Pepi I Meryre who built the temple.

It was once home to the celebrated Dendera zodiac, which is now displayed in the Louvre Museum in Paris. There are also Roman and pharaonic Mammisi (birth houses), ruins of a Coptic church and a small chapel dedicated to Isis, dating to the Roman or the Ptolemaic epoch. The area around the temple has been extensively landscaped and now has a modern visitor centre, bazaar and small cafeteria.”

>> So the NEW temple of Hathor was built on the ruins of an older one which dates back the 4th dynasty. Wonder if they checked the stratigraphy to see if there is an even older stratum.

Anons. we know from the existence of the List of Kings in Abydos that priests there preserved the ancient records = archives – going all back to Narmer. So if this was done in Abydos, it’s possible it was done here, in Dendera, as well. The possibilities are high.

(Please read from the start)

Now I’m going to check the Temple complex.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dendera_Temple_complex

“Dendera Temple complex (Ancient Egyptian: Iunet or Tantere; the 19th-century English spelling in most sources, including Belzoni, was Tentyra; also spelled Denderah[1]) is located about 2.5 kilometres (1.6 mi) south-east of Dendera, Egypt. It is one of the best-preserved temple complexes in Egypt. The area was used as the sixth Nome of Upper Egypt, south of Abydos.”

“Hathor temple

The dominant building in the complex is the Temple of Hathor. The temple has been modified on the same site starting as far back as the Middle Kingdom, and continuing right up until the time of the Roman emperor Trajan.[2] The existing structure began construction in the late Ptolemaic period, and the hypostyle hall was built in the Roman period under Tiberius.

[…]

Depictions of Cleopatra VI which appear on temple walls are good examples of Ptolemaic Egyptian art.[4] On the rear of the temple exterior is a carving of Cleopatra VII Philopator (the popularly well known Cleopatra) and her son, Ptolemy XV Philopator Philometor Caesar (Caesarion), who was fathered by Julius Caesar.”

“Dendera zodiac

The sculptured Dendera zodiac (or Denderah zodiac) is a widely known relief found in a late Greco-Roman temple, containing images of Taurus (the bull) and the Libra (the balance). A sketch was made of it during the Napoleonic campaign in Egypt. In 1820 it was removed from the temple ceiling by French colonizers and replaced with a fake. There is controversy as to whether they were granted permission by Egypt's ruler, Muhammad Ali Pasha, to do so, or whether they stole it. The real one is now in the Louvre.[6] Champollion's guess that it was Ptolemaic proved to be correct, and Egyptologists now date it to the first century BC.”

>> Napoleon was Freemason working for Cabal = Payseur. You think it was a coincidence the Dendera Zodiac was “stolen” in 1820? And why replace it with a FAKE? Payseur was alive back then. So does this mean the original is still owned by Cabal nowadays, placed in the Louvres?

“The Dendera light

Hathor Temple has a relief sometimes known as the Dendera light because of a controversial fringe thesis about its nature. The Dendera light images comprise five stone reliefs (two of which contain a pair of what fringe authors refer to as lights) in the Hathor temple at the Dendera Temple complex located in Egypt. The view of Egyptologists is that the relief is a mythological depiction of a djed pillar and a lotus flower, spawning a snake within, representing aspects of Egyptian mythology.

In contrast to this interpretation, there is a fringe science suggestion that it is actually a representation of an Ancient Egyptian light bulb.”

>> Anons, please notice the choice of words.

I really got curious about this Dendera Zodiac which was “Stolen” and replaced by a FAKE.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dendera_zodiac

“The sculptured Dendera zodiac (or Denderah zodiac) is a widely known Egyptian bas-relief from the ceiling of the pronaos (or portico) of a chapel dedicated to Osiris in the Hathor temple at Dendera, containing images of Taurus (the bull) and Libra (the scales). This chapel was begun in the late Ptolemaic period; its pronaos was added by the emperor Tiberius. This led Jean-François Champollion to date the relief to the Greco-Roman period, but most of his contemporaries believed it to be of the New Kingdom. The relief, which John H. Rogers characterised as "the only complete map that we have of an ancient sky",[1] has been conjectured to represent the basis on which later astronomy systems were based.[2] It is now on display at the Musée du Louvre, Paris.”

“Description

The sky disc is centered on the north pole star, with Ursa Minor depicted as a jackal.[3] An inner disc is composed of constellations showing the signs of the zodiac.[a] Some of these are represented in the same Greco-Roman iconographic forms as their familiar counterparts (e.g. the Ram, Taurus, Scorpio, and Capricorn),[b] whilst others are shown in a more Egyptian form: Aquarius is represented as the flood god Hapy, holding two vases which gush water.Rogers noted the similarities of unfamiliar iconology with the three surviving tablets of a Seleucid zodiac and both relating to kudurru ('boundary stone') representations: in short, Rogers sees the Dendera zodiac as "a complete copy of the Mesopotamian zodiac.”

>> Astrology is another way to compare Ancient Egypt with Mesopotamia.

“Four women and four pairs of falcon-headed spirits, arranged 45° from one another, hold up the sky disc, the outermost ring of which features 36 spirits representing the 360 days of the Egyptian year. The square of the overall sculpture is oriented to the walls of the temple.

This sculptural representation of the zodiac in circular form is unique in ancient Egyptian art. More typical are the rectangular zodiacs which decorate the same temple's pronaos.”

>> No need to say how amazing the ancient’s knowledge is with Astrology and Mathematics. Also, did anons notice the shape/form of Orion and Sirius?

“History

During the Napoleonic campaign in Egypt, Vivant Denon drew the circular zodiac, the more widely known one, and the rectangular zodiacs. In 1802, after the Napoleonic expedition, Denon published engravings of the temple ceiling in his Voyage dans la Basse et la Haute Egypte.[5] These elicited a controversy as to the age of the zodiac representation, ranging from tens of thousands to a thousand years to a few hundred, and whether the zodiac was a planisphere or an astrological chart.[6] Sébastien Louis Saulnier, an antique dealer, commissioned Claude Lelorrain to remove the circular zodiac with saws, jacks, scissors and gunpowder.[7] The zodiac ceiling was moved in 1821 to Restoration Paris and, by 1822, was installed by Louis XVIII in the Royal Library (later called the National Library of France). In 1922, the zodiac moved from there to the Louvre.”

>> What are the odds of this? Merovingian bloodline “stole” the zodiac. Hm! Wonder what secrets are hidden behind all of this.

“Dating

The controversy around the zodiac's dating, known as the "Dendera Affair", involved people of the likes of Joseph Fourier (who estimated that the age was 2500 BC).[8] Champollion, among others, believed that it was a religious zodiac. Champollion placed the zodiac in fourth century AD.[9] Georges Cuvier placed the date 123 AD to 147 AD.[10] His discussion of the dating summarizes the reasoning as he understood it in the 1820s.”

“Sylvie Cauville of the Centre for Computer-aided Egyptological Research at Utrecht University and Éric Aubourg dated it to 50 BC through an examination of the configuration it shows of the five planets known to the Egyptians, a configuration that occurs once every thousand years, and the identification of two eclipses.[11] The solar eclipse indicates the date of March 7, 51 BC: it is represented by a circle containing the goddess Isis holding a baboon (the god Thoth) by the tail. The lunar eclipse indicates the date of September 25, 52 BC: it is represented by an Eye of Horus locked into a circle.”

>> It’s remarkable how EVERY SINGLE TIME there is an interesting object of the sort, it ends up with a controversy about it. This is a bloodline tactic to muddy the water and keep us away from the truth.

And I would like to point out to anons that this is not the first archaeological object = artifact, cabal has “stolen”. (((They))) have been showing a lot of interest in certain ancient area and objects for a long time now. The most recent occurrences of such behavior from cabal were when Bush got into the Iraq war = a lot of “special” archaeological artifacts were smuggled out and sold in the black market. And then it happened a second time with the so-called destruction of the artifacts in Iraq and Syria by ISIS….remember that one anons? Well, I’ve been suspecting that some NOT all were destroyed….I’ve been suspecting that some “notable” pieces were smuggled out and they are now in the possession of the Bloodline families. I always wonder what we will find out when one of their lairs is raided and searched. After all (((they))) have a hobby of collecting rare items. So I won’t be surprised if we found out some “stolen” or supposedly destroyed artifacts in their big underground vaults or in some secret rooms somewhere.

So since Sebastien-Louis Saulnier had to “guts” to order the theft of such an item, I decided to take a look at the fellow.

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A9bastien_Louis_Saulnier

« Sébastien-Louis Saulnier, né à Nancy le 29 janvier 1790, mort le 23 octobre 1835 à Saint-Jean-de-la-Ruelle, est auditeur au Conseil d'État en 1811, administrateur de la province de Minsk en 1812 et commissaire général de la police à Lyon en 1813.

Pendant les Cent-Jours il est successivement préfet de Tarn-et-Garonne et de préfet de l'Aude

Sous la Restauration, il contribue à plusieurs publications périodiques, et fonde la Revue britannique. En 1830, il devient préfet de la Mayenne, et ensuite brièvement préfet de police en septembre-octobre 1831, avant d'être nommé préfet du Loiret en novembre 1831.

C'est lui qui chargea Claude Lelorrain de ramener le zodiaque de Denderah à Paris, qui fut acheminé d’Égypte en 1821. Après de multiples péripéties racontées dans son livre Notice sur le voyage de M. Lelorrain, en Égypte; et observations sur le Zodiaque circulaire de Denderah, publié chez Sétier, en 1822 le zodiaque fut vendu par Saulnier à Louis XVIII, pour la somme de 150 000 francs1, une somme sans précédent pour l'époque, pour un artefact qui n'était pas catholique.

Il meurt à Saint-Jean-de-la-Ruelle, banlieue d'Orléans, le 23 octobre 1835 . »

>> Finally some details about the “business transaction” between Saulnier and Louis XVIII: it seems like the later paid a “fortune” to acquire the Dendera Zodiac.

Now that we finished with the out-of-place-Artifacts mentioned in the Wikipedia’s page, I want to add some peculiar artifacts of my own, not listed there. The first is a set of artifacts that can be regrouped under the name of Palettes. We will be taking a general look, then focus on the notable ones, mostly Narmer’s Palette.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ancient_Egyptian_palettes

“A list of a small subset of ancient Egyptian palettes, ranging in the Naqada periods, 4th millennium BC, probably mostly from ~3500 to 3000 BC; some palettes may be from the later period of the earliest 3rd millennium BC.

These cosmetic palettes come in numerous shapes and sizes, and were often found in tombs or graves. They were preceded by a period of palettes called rhomboidal palettes, unadorned, and without the cosmetic mixing circle found on some of the later Naqada period palettes.”

“Alphabetical individual listing, (abbreviated)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmetic_palette

“Cosmetic palettes are archaeological artifacts, originally used in predynastic Egypt to grind and apply ingredients for facial or body cosmetics. The decorative palettes of the late 4th millennium BCE appear to have lost this function and became commemorative, ornamental, and possibly ceremonial. They were made almost exclusively out of siltstone with a few exceptions. The siltstone originated from quarries in the Wadi Hammamat.

Many of the palettes were found at Hierakonpolis, a center of power in pre-dynastic Upper Egypt. After the unification of the country, the palettes ceased to be included in tomb assemblages.”

“Notable palettes

Notable decorative palettes are:

• The Cosmetic palette in the form of a Nile tortoise

• The Narmer Palette, often thought to depict the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt under the pharaoh Narmer, Egyptian Museum, Cairo

• Libyan Palette, Egyptian Museum, Cairo

• The Four Dogs Palette, displaying African wild dogs,[1] giraffes, and other quadrupeds, Louvre

• The Battlefield Palette, British Museum and Ashmolean Museum

• The Bull Palette, at the Musée du Louvre, named for the bull at the top — obverse and reverse — trampling a man

• The Hunters Palette, British Museum and Louvre

•

Even undecorated palettes were often given pleasing shapes, such as the zoomorphic palettes, which included turtles and, very commonly, fish. The fish zoomorphic palette often had an upper-centrally formed hole, presumably for suspension, and thus display.

There are also Near East stone palettes, from Canaan,[2] Bactria, and Gandhara.”

>> It’s incredible how the words Canaan and Phoenicia don’t come out easily; (((they))) rather use Syria or Middle East instead of saying those 2 words. + The notable is actually the other LOCATIONS where such Palettes were found.

“History of Egyptian palettes

Siltstone was first utilized for cosmetic palettes by the Badarian culture. The first palettes used in the Badarian Period and in Naqada I were usually plain, rhomboidal or rectangular in shape, without any further decoration. It is in the Naqada II period in which the zoomorphic palette is most common. On these examples there is more focus on symbolism and display, rather than a purely functional object for grinding pigments. The importance of symbolism eventually outweighs the functional aspect with the more elite examples found in the Naqada III period, but there is also a reversion to non-zoomorphic designs among non-elite individuals.”

>> After this, we have a list of famous ancient Egyptian Pre-dynastic palettes.

Next is the Min Palette:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Min_Palette

“The Min Palette, or El Amrah Palette is an ancient Egyptian cosmetic palette from El Amrah (for the Amratian Period), found in Naqada, tomb B62. It is held in the British Museum, no. 35501.”

“Description

The Min Palette is a flat slate palette, unadorned, with no iconographic scenes.

Two topics are displayed on the palette. The Symbol of Min, a compound-type hieroglyph arrangement, is centered at the top of the palette, and comprises 1/4 of the palette's front. The other motifs are opposed-facing bird heads on each top corner; the heads are small, with a thin neck, about a tenth the height of the palette, and the right head is damaged.

A small suspension hole is centered on the palette's top.”

“Min's emblem

The Emblem of Min on the palette is a typographic ligature of two Egyptian hieroglyphs–

The later horizontal form of the Min symbol (hieroglyph), (consisting of two opposing-faced arrows), is shown in an archaic form. Centered vertically overlaying the Min hieroglyph is a vertical "crook" or staff, the version of the 'straight staff.”

>> Why does anyone needs to suspend a cosmetic palette? Does that made much sense? Such type of objects are usually stored in trunks (for example). Since it was found in a tomb, why are the mortar and pestle missing? Where are the cosmetic pots as well? And how can they make sure the substance doesn’t spill off the palette while it’s being used? Isn’t the “cavity” in the center of the palette meant for that purpose, so how come there is none on these? But we do found a small concave cavity with the pestle type of tool used for grinding food or used by scribes.

Let’s continue with the rest of the palettes.

The Bull Palette: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bull_Palette

“The Bull Palette (French: palette célébrant une victoire) is an Ancient Egyptian greywacke cosmetic palette, carved in low relief and used, at least in principle, as a cosmetic palette for the grinding of cosmetics. It is dated to Naqada III, the final two centuries of the fourth millennium BC, immediately preceding the Early Dynastic Period). It is in the collection of the Musée du Louvre, inventory no. E11255.

The reverse of the Bull Palette has iconography that became hieroglyphs for the: clenched fist,[2] 5 standards[3] surmounted by animals, being represented by two hippopotamuses, the "Sacred Ibis", the Horus-Falcon, and the thuderbolt of Min–symbol. The fortified city on the palette's front is identified in its interior with a "larger-lion-and-'Nu'-(vessel).”

>> So now Wikipedia page is a tiny bit more honest when they used these words: “at least in principle”. Sounds like no one is sure of anything concerning these palettes.

“The palette

The Bull Palette-(remainder piece), about 10 inches (25 cm) is made of mudstone or schist, and is etched in more atypical medium to medium-low relief. A presumed 'fortified city' on the front in the upper register has a major loss of the city-rectangle on upper left showing this medium-level bas relief. The register below appears to be a smaller area of the palette, and has the remains, (about 1/4), of a second fortified city; a bird is one identifier in the city-fortified interior, with the rest missing.”

>> I do have a question after seeing this exquisite relief carved so well: Why aren’t there any traces of friction and wear on the back as it rests on a flat surface? Or is hold in a hand?

“Bull Palette front

The front of the Bull Palette has the top left iconography of the Bull overpowering a Warrior. The right half is missing, with a probable second bull facing the first, as part of the upper borders, the left and the right.

The rest of the front contains a large "fortified-walled-city", and is identified in the center with a "larger-lion-and-'Nu'-(vessel); a smaller register section below contains the upper left quarter of a 2nd fortified-city. The 2nd city is of smaller size than the upper register identified city.”

>> I don’t know why, but this supposedly “fortified city” reminds me of what is on the Med Sea Floor facing Benghazi (pages 84-85). If anons look closely to that underwater “elevated Square” you will see something like buttresses. And if you compare visually with this “fortified walled city” design on this palette….what do you see anons? Just make up your own mind about it after examining it. And did anyone notice the “lion” is standing on a mound or a hill?….Maybe it’s a mountain….let’s call it an elevated terrain.

“Bull Pallette reverse

The reverse has the same Bull overpowering a Warrior-(reversed).

A rope appears to encircle, or is at least part of the entire reverse, as one of the reverse motifs. The remaining piece-(of this Bull Palette) has possibly one of the more important motifs preserved in the palettes corpus. Five standards are shown collectively on the palettes right, and each is an iat standard (hieroglyph), but notably the base of each standard transforms into a 'clenched hand', which embraces the large-diameter encircling rope.

The five standards are:

1. A hippopotamus with open mouth

2. A hippopotamus with open mouth

3. The "Sacred Ibis"

4. The standing Horus-Falcon

5. Symbol: "Thunderbolt of Min"-(an encircled snake on standard?)”

- Page 114 –

>>9669476

(Please read from the start)

“Bull motif; fortified city motif

The motifs of the palette are presumably the Bull overpowering an Enemy, the named-fortified-cities, war-scenes, a collection of gods supporting the war-scenery-(on standards).

The palette's reverse contains only two other clues to the entire scene. The encircling rope has the Bull, and defeated Warrior, (and another presumed pair on left), and two other portions of warriors. Open space (field?) covers space as large, or larger than the two warrior portions. A warrior's leg is shown and is partially fractured-out (chipped), from the bas relief-(the knee portion); adjacent and below the leg, is a perfectly preserved warrior head, with eye, ear, beard, necklace cord, and a "stylized hairdo"-(close cropped).”

>> Seem like they are suggesting in this section that this relief subject was stereotyped. So do tell me anons, why would anyone decorate a cosmetic palette with war scenes?

Let’s move to the next palette: Hunter’s Palette.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunters_Palette

“The Hunters Palette or Lion Hunt Palette is a circa 3100 BCE cosmetic palette from the Naqada III period of late prehistoric Egypt. The palette is broken: part is held by the British Museum and part is in the collection of the Louvre.”

>> Seems like (((they))) are splitting the spoils amongst them.

“Content

The Hunters Palette shows a complex iconography of lion hunting as well as the hunt of other animals such as birds, desert hares, and gazelle types; one gazelle is being contained by a rope. The weapons used in the twenty-man hunt are the bow and arrow, mace, throwing sticks, and spears. Two iconographic conjoined bull-forefronts adorn the upper right alongside a hieroglyphic-like symbol similar to the "shrine" hieroglyph, sḥ.”

>> I consider this a very manly scene carved on a cosmetic palette that was surely used by servants. I don’t see the nobles or royalty applying their own cosmetics using this. Such hunting scenes are meant to remind the one seeing it of the achievement. This is no cosmetic palette, more like a decorative or a commemorative palette. One last notable element is: the feather’s worn on the head of the hunters.

- Page 115 –

>>9669534

(Please read from the start)

The next palette is called the Battlefield Palette:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlefield_Palette

“The Battlefield Palette (also known as the Vultures Palette, the Giraffes Palette, or the Lion Palette)[1] may be the earliest battle scene representation of the dozen or more ceremonial or ornamental cosmetic palettes of ancient Egypt. Along with the others in this series of palettes, including the Narmer Palette, it includes some of the first representations of the figures, or glyphs, that became Egyptian hieroglyphs. Most notable on the Battlefield Palette is the standard (iat hieroglyph), and Man-prisoner hieroglyph, probably the forerunner that gave rise to the concept of the Nine Bows (representation of foreign tribal enemies).

The palettes probably date mostly from the Naqada III (ca. 3300–3100 BC),[2] i.e. late predynastic period, around 3100 BC.[3] The two major pieces of the Battlefield Palette are held by the British and Ashmolean Museums.”

“The Battlefield Palette, two fragments

The Battlefield Palette obverse contains the circular defined area for the mixing of a cosmetic substance. It contains the battlefield scene, and forerunners of hieroglyphs: prisoner, tribal-territory wooden standard, the horus-falcon and an ibis bird resting on standards. The fractured lower half of the prisoner on the obverse right may have a hieroglyph at his front (the rectangle, as rounded for land) with suspected papyrus plants attached on top.

The reverse of the palette has dramatically stylized versions of a bird, two antelope-like mammals, a vertical palm-tree trunk, a partial top with fruits, and short horizontal palm fronds.”

>> The animals on the reverse look like this or that, but it’s not for sure. It’s named by some as the Giraffe palette, but some say those are not giraffes but Antelope like animals. So your guess is as good as mine and as good as any other theory out there about them. I strongly believe those animals are not identified properly.

There is also only ONE person with clothes on this palette; unfortunately he is half “cut”. The lower part of his body is carved on the upper right corner, of the lower fragment, obverse side. His clothing is interesting because of their similarity with Mesopotamian clothing, mostly the early Sumerian one. Don’t get me wrong here anon, I’m not saying they are identical, but, there are some similarities. Comparing them with the clothes worn by Narmer on his famous palette and then dynastic Egypt, the difference in clothing style is striking.

This “clothed” person might not be “Egyptian” but it might be the leader of the “enemies” we see being captured. With their hands/arms tied up behind their back, they are not wearing any clothes = naked. So whoever this “clothed” person is, either he is from the “enemy’s side” or he is from ancient Egypt, he must have a higher status (king, noble, leader etc.) than the rest in order to wear such clothing, while the rest have none. Which brings me to the date: during this period, the earliest Sumerian city-states thrived, mostly Uruk, just compare the clothes. So could this “clothed” person have had some sort of “trading” business with Mesopotamia? Or is he from a Nubian or sub-Saharan area, defeated by the Egyptians? Anons, shouldn’t forget that we are talking about the pre-dynastic era here, where city-states existed and ancient Egypt was divided into 2 kingdoms. The city-states of Lower Egypt traded a lot with the Phoenician coast and Mesopotamia (page 88). So there are many possible explanations here. It all depends WHO this defeated enemy is.

Then, there is the Libyan palette: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libyan_Palette

“The Libyan Palette (also variously known as the City Palette,[1] the Libyan Booty Palette, the Libyan Tribute Palette, the Siege Palette, the Tehenu- or Tjehenu Palette) is the surviving lower portion of a stone cosmetic palette bearing carved decoration and hieroglyphic writing. It dates from the Naqada III or Protodynastic Period of Egypt (c. 3200 to 3000 BC). The palette was found at Abydos, Egypt.

The palette is made of schist and it is 19 cm long and 22 cm wide.[2] Housed in Room 43 on the ground floor of the Egyptian Museum, Cairo,[3] its Journal d'Entrée number is JE27434 and its Catalogue Général number is CG14238.”

“Content

On one side, there is a scene of walking lines of animals within registers and the hieroglyphic inscription hnw or tjhnw (usually transcribed as tehenu), most likely a toponym of Western Nile Delta or, according to most scholars, what was later associated with Libya.[4][5][6] Below these animals, an orchard with olive trees is depicted.

The opposite side of the Libyan Palette shows the feet of some persons above a register line. Under the register, seven fortified towns are depicted, with the name of each town written within the wall. Above each town, an animal grasps its wall with the mr (hoe) hieroglyph.[5] Günter Dreyer has interpreted this scene as a scene of destruction and the animals, or animal standards, as royal names.[1][4][7] However, other scholars have suggested that the animals represent royal armies or symbols.[1] Another completely different interpretation is that the scene represents the foundation of these cities.”

>> The first notable thing is the number of “cities” = 7. Anons should remember that these cities are in the pre-dynastic era, which means these are city-states. So this means each city-state had a “king”, so here we are dealing with 7 kings and can we say 7 kingdoms = 7 city-states.

Not all the city-states have animal symbols though….yes, they can be symbols representing the coat of arms of either the conquered or the ones doing the conquering. The problems lies in the fact that we only have the lower section of this palette, maybe if we had the rest, things would have been clearer. Some in the alternative history even suggest the reverse contains constellations, zodiac signs and stars; it’s a star map. Interesting theory.

One last notable is where this palette was found = in Abydos.

- Page 117 –

>>9680523

(Please read from the start)

There are 2 palettes that are kind of similar in the subject of the design. One is called the 2 dogs palette and the second is called the 4 dogs palette. They are named according to the number of dogs on them: one has two and the second has 4 of them. “The Four Dogs Palette, displaying African wild dogs,[1] giraffes, and other quadrupeds, Louvre” – this is from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmetic_palette

What is interesting in these 2 palettes are the animals, mostly those with long necks that are “called” giraffes by main stream historians. If anons zoom in and examine closely those “giraffes” they have feline faces, paws and tails. Just compare visually with a giraffe: the tail is different, the “horns” are missing; and where are the giraffe’s spots? This is like playing “spot the difference”. We can argue that the shape of giraffe changed, evolved….but it’s the first time I see a giraffe change and evolve from a feline looking type to the current mammal. So no, this doesn’t hold ground. On the 2 dogs palette, on each side of the “circle”, we have these long neck animals which are both biting an antelope. Can someone tell me why giraffes are biting into an antelope? = because these are not giraffes; while the real giraffe is carved on the tip of the reverse side of the 2 dogs palette. Compare visually.

Some suggest that these are felines with stretched necks on purpose just to fill the space and/or a styled way to make the circle. That fits for the 2 dogs palette front, but it doesn’t work for the 4 dogs palette. So this doesn’t provide a satisfying explanation as well. And on the reverse side of the 2 dog palette it seems one of the long neck feline animal is biting into the leg of an Antelope: no need to manage or fill space here, so why the long neck?

While in the alternative history, some suggest that these are actually dinosaurs (= extinct) or animals that no longer exist nowadays called Serpopards (= imaginary). Well, a lot of people simply laughed this idea away for decades. I was among them because it never made sense. I thought just like the rest: this is ridiculous – until I started lurking on this board, and I realized what I was taught, what I knew about this, wasn’t true. So I started searching, and I found this cylinder seal from Mesopotamia, precisely from Uruk, the Sumerian city-state, dating back from 4100-3000 B.C., in display at the Louvre museum. What do you see anons? What do you see?

On this cylinder seal, there is plenty of space, no need to “fill” it by stretching stylistically the necks. All the sculptor needs to do is make the felines a bit bigger in size to fill the space. But this isn’t the case, is it? This is making me think these long necked animals truly existed. It’s a crazy wild thought, isn’t it? But if you add to it the Sivatherium statuette found in Kish (page 61), is it that crazy wild thought now? We have 2 animals with long necks that are not around: one is supposed to be extinct millions of years ago, and the second one is supposed to be the fruit of an artist imagination according to the main stream history. I say this is misleading, a lie and wrong. For around a year now, I’ve started to suspect these animals truly existed, along side humans. They might have gone extinct around the IVth millenium B.C., but they were around just long enough for humans, from back then, to keep an artistic representation of them.

(Please read from the start)

Let’s take a quick look at these Serpopard, shall we anons:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serpopard

“The serpopard is a mythical animal known from Ancient Egyptian and Mesopotamian art. The word "serpopard" is a modern coinage. It is a portmanteau of "serpent" and "leopard", derived from the interpretation that the creature represents an animal with the body of a leopard and the long neck and head of a serpent. However, they have also been interpreted as "serpent-necked lions". There is no known name for the creature in any ancient texts.”

“Images

The image is featured specifically on decorated cosmetic palettes from the Predynastic period of Egypt, and more extensively, as design motifs on cylinder seals in the Protoliterate period of Mesopotamia (circa 3500–3000 BC). Examples include the Narmer Palette and the Small Palette of Nekhen (Hierakonopolis). The cylinder seal displayed to the right displays the motif very clearly. Typically, two creatures are depicted, with their necks intertwined.”

“Interpretations

The image generally is classified as a feline, and with close inspection resembles an unusually long-necked lioness. It bears the characteristic tuft of the species at the end of the tail, there are no spots, the round-eared head most closely resembles the lioness rather than a serpent, because serpents do not have ears, and there are no typical serpent features such as scales, tongue, or head shape.

It has been suggested that in Ancient Egyptian art the serpopard represents "a symbol of the chaos that reigned beyond Egypt's borders", which the king must tame. They are normally shown conquered or restrained, as in the Narmer Palette, or attacking other animals. But in Mesopotamian art they are shown in pairs, with intertwined necks”

>> On Narmer’s palette they are also a pair with intertwined necks. Not just in Mesopotamia.

“In Mesopotamia, the use of these "serpent-necked lions" and other animals and animal hybrids are thought to be "manifestations of the chthonic aspect of the god of natural vitality, who is manifest in all life breaking forth from the earth.”

>> Animal hybrids….oh this is a good one.

“Similarly to other ancient peoples, the Egyptians are known for their very accurate depictions of the creatures they observed. Their composite creatures have very recognizable features of the animals originally representing those deities merged.

Lionesses played an important role in the religious concepts of both Upper and Lower Egypt, and are likely to have been designated as animals associated with protection and royalty. The long necks may be a simple exaggeration, used as a framing feature in an artistic motif, either forming the cosmetic mixing area as in the Narmer Palette, or surrounding it as in the Small Palette.

Depictions of fantastic animals also are known from Elam and Mesopotamia,[4] as well as many other cultures.”

>> (((They))) are pulling our leg on this one anons.

Just a note: Remember in the myth of the destruction of mankind (book of the Heavenly Cow) the Eye - Hathor, sent by Ra takes the lioness form of Sekhmet (page 71).
