INSIDE THE TORAH
Without king David and king Salomon, Judaism and Israel would not exist. This is stated in a NGC -production called:
“Judaism;
inside the Torah”. Jewish archeologists are, since the birth of
Israel after the Second World War, searching for proof. Did these two
kings lay the foundation for a Jewish society and the Judaic
religious tradition? Commonly accepted, look out for statements like
that!, the Exodus took place around 1200 BC. David would have
captured Jerusalem around 1000 BC. His son Salomon
built
the first Temple and made Jerusalem a place of wonder and worship,
with trade routes to Arabia and Africa (the queen of Sheba).
The
stories of David are embedded in regional folklore and in the Bible.
There is hardly any evidence. David volunteers to fight a Filistine
price fighter called Goliath. This was a giant, over 10 feet tall.
The scene depicted is an anomaly. Goliath is wearing the armor of a
Greek hero of the 7th
century
BC. The Filistines themselves, arch-enemies of the Hebrews, were
probably refugees. After a volcanic eruption, Crete and other Aegean
islands, were flooded by a huge tsunami. The Minoan civilization was
destroyed and survivors fled to the Holy Land. They were there before
the Jews. Both nations were desperately looking and fighting for a
new home land.
Excavations
for Salomons temple have not been successful. There is no
archeological evidence. Jerusalem was habituated, but is was just a
small village. No remnants of walls, palaces or the First Temple have
been found. Aninscription that referred to “Solomon's temple”
proved out to be a fake. This was a elaborate plot to prove the
rightfulness of Israel's existence. Of David it is said, that his
name is mentioned on a stele of a local king. This kind names his
many victories, one of which was over “the House of David”. After
the “Solomon-debacle” experts want to do research on this
artifact.
There
is some good news though. The temple of Solomon has been found. Not
in Jerusalem, but in Syria! Recent excavations have unearthed a big
temple-complex which many characteristics of the Temple as described
in the Bible. Historical after all?

ANOMALIES
When I first visited the famous British Museum the
antiques-department stunned me. The Louvre had a huge Egyptian collection, but the British had moved complete city-walls, huge statues and beautiful artwork. The famous “Algin-marbles” were exhibited, they still are, ornaments of the Athenian Parthenon. Greece wants them back (and I think they are right), but the English refuse. They are the heirs and preservers of civilization and they kept and preserved them for centuries. They were even payed for!
So the French ship with the Napoleonic looting of Egypt was not the only one that reached London. Not only the British but also
the French, the Italians, the Spanish, the Portuguese, the German and even the Belgians accumulated huge amounts of somebody else roots. They will have to go back to the original owners, which will boost national identity in a positive way. Indeed, many things will come to pass.
So archeologist, historians and researches are studying artifacts completely out of context. Many object were lost in the archives, warehouses and attics. Individuals and collectives of grave-robbers smuggled jewelry and small objects out of Greece, Persia or Egypt. There still is a huge black market for antiques and there are enough collectors willing to pay huge amounts of money for golden or silver objects. Many of it is molten down to be turned into coins or bars. The Spanish are responsible for one of the biggest genocide in the history of humankind. In their greed for gold (and souls) the Indian-civilizations in Meso-America were destroyed, their people massacred. Unknown diseases were imported, that decimated the Aztecs, Inca and others. The second generation of conquistadores conquered empty cities. The return fleet was laden with silver and gold (and corn, potatoes, tobacco and cocaine) and some artifacts.
Sometimes an artifact is found and nobody knows, what it is. It does not fit.This is called an anomaly. The famous “Bagdad-battery” is an example, so is the “Antekythera-mechanism”. In this context you have to realize, that everything moves, changes, travels and even gets lost. When an anomaly is found, you have to be extra careful. I'll give you an example. A Dutch amateur-archeologist, named Tjerk Vermaning, found stone-age tools around his home-town in Drenthe, about forty years ago. A huge discussion erupted, that broke several academic reputations. Vermaning thought, that history had to be rewritten.
He was right, but it was not their own.
In the northern part of Holland people lived for millenia on “terpen” natural of artificial hills in the flat landscape. The region was regularly flooded and the “terpen” grew in height. The Dutch managed to gain the upperhand and the sea and the rivers were sealed of and the land became habitable. All the time the “terpen” were used to live on. In the 19th century farmers in the western part of Holland wanted to improve the quality of their land. They used natural fertilizers, but discovered that the old mounds in “Friesland” and “Groningen”, contained extremely fertile soil. Being merchants the Frisian sold the soil and traditional living-areas were dug off and disappeared. The clay in this area was extremely fertile too. So the Frisians sold clay as well. Especially to Drenthe, being sandy and poor. In recent years archeologists discovered that the mounds were of great historical importance. Even Roman artifacts are found.
Tjerk Vermaning was right. The stone-age tools were special and they would rewrite history. The history of the Northern Kingdom of Atlantis.
The watchwords of the French Revolution were liberty, equality and fraternity. Maximilien Robespierre believed in them passionately. He was an idealist and a lover of humanity. But during the 365 days that Robespierre sat on the Committee of Public Safety, the French Republic descended into a bloodbath.
THE ROSETTA STONE
The rise of Napoleon parallels the decline of the French monarchy. His father and mother (Laetitia) had fought against the French, when they conquered Corsica in the 18th century. His father switched sides and became a solid supporter of the French regime, became a member of parliament and visited Paris and Versailles, with all its royal splendor. He realized that the future of his son was on the continent. He managed to obtain a scholarship for his son Maximillian. At the military academy he studied several years and his teachers saw him as promising. But not being an aristocrat made his chances for a military career small. In 1789 Paris erupted. In a wave of violence, revolutionary masses and terror, the monarchy was toppled. Louis the 16th and his wife Marie-Antoinette, and with them tens of thousands of aristocrats were beheaded. The preferred way was the guillotine, designed by a French doctor to humanize the death penalty. French was in a state of civil war and many aristocrats, who served in the army, left the country. Napoleon was promoted and his first task was to drive out the English, who had conquered Toulon. He did this by charging a hill-fort and blowing the British fleet out of the water. Napoleon Bonaparte was an instant success and he was promoted to brigade-general. The French army had not been payed for several years and France was at war with England, Austria and Spain. He motivated his troops by looting Italy and pushing back the Austrians. After that he moved an army of 35.000 to Egypt. Napoleon wanted to break the naval power of England by occupying the land of the Pharaohs. Napoleon was accompanied by archeologists, historians and artists. The treasure and archeological richness of Egypt made them make this journey.
Napoleon crashed the “Mammalucs”, the elite-troops of the Ottoman Empire. His archeologists were busy like children in a candy-shop. One of them was named Champollion. He was specially interested in the hieroglyphics. A pictorial language nobody understood. But he got lucky. At Rosetta a stone was dug. On it were hieroglyphs, but also a translation in Aramaic, a form of writing he knew. This made it possible to make a start with the translation of the Egyptian hieroglyphs. But why is this stone in London?
The ship, Napoleon used to transport his treasures to France, was captured by the famous English admiral Nelson, later Lord Nelson.
Napoleon was stuck in Egypt because the French fleet was destroyed or captured. But drinking tea and watching the camels go by, was not Napoleon's style. He left his troops behind, managed to escape from Nelson's fleet and landed in France as a victorious general. Heading for Empire.

EDGAR CAYCE - THE OTHER NOSTRADAMUS. Could the future already be written? This mammoth series spans human experience to illuminate this question. Common wisdom has it we prepare for our future by understanding our past. But did the ancient prophets already know the future? Are we living in the world they predicted? In this enlightening and often unsettling series, the viewer revisits the prophecies and divinations of the Ancients and traces them to the modern events they may have been predicting.
ARK OF THE COVENANT
http://youtu.be/qW_6CwB35rA
The Ark of the Covenant is described in the Bible as a sacred container, wherein rested the Tablets of stone containing the Ten Commandments as well as Aaron's rod and manna. According to the Biblical account, the Ark was built at the command of God, in accord with Moses' prophetic vision on Mount Sinai (Exodus 25:10-16). God communicated with Moses "from between the two cherubim" on the Ark's cover (Exodus 25:22). The Ark and its sanctuary were "the beauty of Israel" (Lamentations 2:1). Rashi and some Midrashim suggest that there were two arks - a temporary one made by Moses, and a later one made by Bezalel.
The Biblical account relates that during the exodus of the Israelites, the Ark was carried by the priests ~2,000 cubits (Numbers 35:5; Joshua 4:5) in advance of the people and their army or host (Num. 4:5-6; 10:33-36; Psalms 68:1; 132:8). When the Ark was borne by priests into the bed of the Jordan, the river was separated, opening a pathway for the whole of the host to pass over (Josh. 3:15-16; 4:7-18). The Ark was borne in a seven-day procession around the wall of Jericho by seven priests sounding seven trumpets of rams' horns, the city taken with a shout (Josh. 6:4-20). When carried, the Ark was always wrapped in a veil, in tachash skins (the identity of this animal is uncertain), and a blue cloth, and was carefully concealed, even from the eyes of the Levites who carried it.

PYRAMIDS OF DEATH (TEOTIHUACAN)
The amazing discovery of one of the oldest, but also powerful civilizations of the world unknown. Are some of the largest pyramids in the world. Millions of tons of stone raised above the landscape, a mix of wealth and poder.Contudo were not the pharaohs who built them. This is the great city of Teotihuacan in Mexico, instead of one of the most powerful civilizations of their identity at the same time.This of its founders, who spoke the language and even the original name of the city disappeared. The latest findings, however, showed human remains inside the pyramids. DNA analysis shows it is not the Mayans, Incas or Aztecs, but of an entirely unknown civilization.

Klerksdorp Spheres are "out of place" artifacts, found in sedimentary rock, in a coal / diamond mine near Ottosdal, South Africa. It is believed these objects are up to 3.8 billion years old. These objects are spherical/ovoid shaped -- similar to how a planet like Earth or Jupiter are "squished" -- all planets are not perfectly round, they are "bulged" at their equator due to the planet's rotation.

This documentary investigates the Antikythera Mechanism, a computer-like device that may have been used to calculate the movements of stars and planets. It also highlights ancient inventors Archimedes and Ctesibius. The Antikythera mechanism is an ancient mechanical computer designed to calculate astronomical positions. It was recovered in 1900--1901 from the Antikythera wreck. Its significance and complexity were not understood until decades later. Its time of construction is now estimated between 150 and 100 BC. Technological artifacts of similar complexity and workmanship did not reappear in Europe until the 14th century, when mechanical astronomical clocks were built in Europe.

Famous Cave Paintings Might Not Be From 'Humans'
June 15, 2012 - The Panel of Hands in the Cave of El Castillo in Spain. New dating approaches suggest the paintings could have been drawn by Neanderthals, not humans, as previously believed.
The popular paintings on the walls of caves in Europe mark the starting of figurative art and a wonderful leap forward for human culture.
But now a novel method of figuring out the age of some of those cave paintings questions their provenance. Not that they are fakes — only that it could not have been modern day humans who made them.
The first European cave paintings are thought to have been made over 30,000 years ago. Most depict animals and hunters. Some of the eeriest are stencils of human hands, apparently made by blowing a spray of pigment over a hand held up to a wall.
But now scientists are suggesting those are not human hands, at least in some caves in Spain.

Archaeologists unveil 120 new 2,000 year-old Terracotta Warriors
June 11, 2012 - Excavations in China have unearthed a gorgeous new collection of 2,000-year-old terracotta warriors and hundreds of other artefacts.
Archaeologists unveiled 120 new terracotta warriors yesterday at the Qin Shihuang Unesco Globe Heritage site in Shaanxi province.
The existing excavation, which began in 2009, is the third at the site following two previous digs which had been carried out in 1974 and 1985.
The artefacts in western China had been buried with the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty in the 3rd century BC.
The most recent discoveries include never ever-prior to-noticed items, which includes war drums and a dramatic painted shield. In total, much more than 310 tiny pieces have been newly excavated as well as 12 clay horses.

WAAROM NEDERLAND HET RIJKSTE LAND TER WERELD WERD en andere vergelijkingen.
http://youtu.be/Ib4io-gaRso
De "fluyt" werd van de 16e yo de 19e eeuw door de Nederlanders als vrachtschip gebruikt.
Het eerste fluitschip zou in 1595 in Hoorn zijn gebouwd naar een ontwerp van koopman Pieter Jansz Vael, ook wel bekend onder de naam koopman Liorne. Kenmerkend waren een rond, versierd achterschip en een invallend bovenboord, dat het schip zijn peervorm gaf. Voor die vorm was een belangrijke economische reden: aan de Sont werd tol geheven. De hoogte van de Sonttol hing af van de breedte van het dek. Vandaar het smalle dek boven het brede ruim, waardoor een maximale lading tegen een minimale tol kon worden vervoerd. Deze manier om tol te berekenen bleef tot 1669 in gebruik. Schepen die daarna werden gebouwd kregen een breder dek.
De fluit was bijzonder geschikt voor de handelsvaart in Europa door het beperkte aantal bemanningsleden dat nodig was om het te zeilen (ongeveer 12 tegen ong. 30 voor een schip van vergelijkbare afmetingen) en de geringe diepgang. Tevens was de fluit sneller en stabieler dan veel andere schepen, en had meer laadvermogen. Het schip werd dan ook een van de belangrijkste scheepstypen voor de Nederlandse internationale scheepvaart. In de Gouden Eeuw bestond tot tachtig procent van de zeeschepen uit fluiten. Op de Hollandse en Zeeuwse scheepswerven werden er vier- tot vijfhonderd per jaar gebouwd. Dat werd toen die tijd onder andere ook mogelijk door de technische vernieuwing van de houtzaagmolen. Door het mechanische zagen konden fluitschepen snel en goedkoop worden geproduceerd.
In 1671 noemde Nicolaes Witsen als lengte voor een gewone fluit 37 meter en 35 meter voor een fluit die voor de Oostzeevaart diende. Cornelis van Yk gaf in 1697 als maten op een lengte van 40 meter bij een breedte van 5,5 meter.
De tuigage was gelijk aan die van andere driemasters: een fokkemast en een grote mast met elk maximaal drie razeilen, en een bezaanmast met een Latijnzeil en soms een kruiszeil. Bij de boegspriet werden nog één of twee blinden gevoerd.

We humans have been on the Earth for more than a million years, but civilization -- life in cities -- has come about only in the last 5,000. Through history civilizations have rose and fell, carved out of nature, dependent on nature, in the end -- nature took them back. But in the past few hundred years, one form of civilization -- that of the West -- has changed the balance of nature forever. And now it is civilization itself that has become the central problem of our planet. To understand why, we must look afresh at how we see history.

Contemplative and reflective, Cave of Forgotten Dreams confirms Werner Herzog as one of the finest and most original chroniclers of the natural world. His abiding fascination with flight, which fueled films like Little Dieter Needs to Fly and White Diamond, finds counterpoint here as he goes below ground to document the oldest paintings known to man. Discovered in 1994, France's Chauvet Cave offers a privileged insight into another time and place. While the walls feature artwork from over 30,000 years ago, ancient animal bones cover the ground, and layers of sparkly calcite coat every surface

THE EGYPTIAN LABYRINTH
http://youtu.be/EqmpT6T_2tU
The Mataha-expedition researched the lost labyrinth of Egypt at Hawara. A colossal temple described by many classic authors like Herodotus and Strabo, to contain 3000 rooms full of hieroglyphs and paintings. A legendary building lost for 2 millenia under the ancient sands of Egypt. Bringing the highest level of technology to unlock the secrets of the past. The sand of Hawara was scanned in 2008 by the Belgian Egyptian expedition team. Although ground penetrating techniques are used by archaeologists for years, the Mataha-expedition (Mataha = labyrinth in Arabic) was the first to apply this technology at Hawara, to solve the enigma born in the Renaissance for once.
