Malachi Smith's List: BOOKS-AUTHORS

Flynn
sets us up for the "big news" by
making the following statement in the
introduction:

"During
the formation of modern science and
philosophy of the 17^th century,
the highest achievement lay not in the
realm of discovery, but in
rediscovery."

As the
book explains:

"For
two years during the fearsome plague and
the fire of London, he lived with his
mother at his home in Woolsthorpe,
England. It was during this time, termed
by biographers as ‘the two miraculous
years,’ that Newton developed every
revolutionary scientific work for which he
is famous. It is a distinct possibility
that the productivity of Newton’s
miraculous years stemmed from his
conviction that the end of the age was
upon the Earth."

Turning
to ancient Babylon, "Temple at the
Center of Time" (or, more
specifically, author David Flynn) explains
Newton’s expert understanding and
analysis of the history of the Magi of
Babylon. Magi had been in direct contact
with the Prophet, Daniel.

"Despite
the world renown of the Magi, the Bible
records that Daniel was master of them
all."

The Babylonian Talmud
states,"

"The
world is like a human eyeball. The white
of the eye is the ocean surrounding the
world, the iris is this continent, the
pupil is Jerusalem, and the image in the
pupil is the Holy Temple."

Case in
point:

"In
the case of Patmos, where St. John wrote
Revelation, the distance in nautical miles
seems to reflect the prophetic content of
Daniel’s writing of the last days."
Did I just hear a collective ‘wow’?

Here’s
another interesting puzzle piece:

"The
latitude of the Avebury Circle was
established with such precision that it
underscores the importance of ‘2520’
as key to the circle’s intended
message."

Later in
the same chapter another piece connects:

"If
2,520 years are counted forward from the
fall of Babylon in 539 B.C. and the 33
years that Christ walked the Earth are
subtracted, the year is A.D. 1948, the
rebirth of Israel."

As
"Temple" points out, Newton did
eventually come to realize that the end of
days would probably not happen in his
lifetime.

Newton
believed the year could be 2060.

However, instead of assigning 1,260 days
of the Antichrist’s reign before his
desecration of the temple, Newton assigned
years."

Newton
also believed that in that day the Pope
would be the Antichrist.

Professor Schneider urged me to get an important point out in this story:

You need to “warn the public against believing the discipline during the Nazi period was uniform,” he said.

He wrote:

The study of the Ancient Near East as far as it relates to peoples of a foreign race, of a nature alien to us and thus impossible to comprehend fully in its peculiarity, is doomed to resignation as soon as the problems exceed what can be established rationally.

Therefore, it fails with regard to the new claim of values and losses its right to exist (...). Where the threshold of deeper questioning has been tred upon – as in Egyptology –, serious decisions have now to be taken.

Walther Wolf was an Egyptologist at Leipzig who had pro-Nazi leanings.

He is known for lecturing while wearing a SA uniform.

Wolf viewed Akhenaten to be a poor pharaoh because he 'Did not uncover ideas that were lying dormant in the depth of their Volkstum, and fight for their full potential of development.'

“This is clearly worded on the template of the role assigned to Hitler,” wrote Schneider.

Said Scharff of Wolf’s work:

In it the attempt is made to understand the Egyptian culture from a new angle of view which is apparently rooted in National Socialistic ideology (...). Such slogans of today which may have a predominant significance in other areas, are of little use with regard to Ancient Egypt.

In a 1935 letter to Adolf Erman, he lamented what was happening in Germany. He wrote-

The Nuremberg legislation has completely paralyzed us and cut our thread of life, it has annihilated our zest of life and my zest of work (...). I was always proud to be able to say "civis Germanus sum", and cannot bear it to be locked up in a ghetto.

Steindorff wrote in 1945, after he was safely in the United States that,

During my darkest days at Leipzig, some weeks after the pogrom of November, 1938, he came to our house in Leipzig and invited me and my wife to go with him and find asylum in his house at Bonn, though to give us sanctuary might well have resulted in his confinement in a concentration camp.

He wrote about Junker that,

It is very difficult to describe the character of this man because he has none. I have heard that it was rumored in England that Junker acted as a spy in Egypt.  I do not believe it.  He was too clever to compromise himself by such activity.  He played safe. 

Albert Einstein (then based in Berlin) and his colleage at Göttingen, Nobel Laureate James Frankh, both resigned in protest. They were hoping that other professors would resign in solidarity.

That didn’t happen.

Kees certainly didn’t hide his far-right views. On Akhenaten he wrote,

One is certainly wrong to portray Amenophis IV as a gushing idealist who wished to turn the world's quarrels to eternal peace by the gracious sermon of human reconciliation and who therefore declined any warfare abroad.

To be a great reformer, he lacked the creative force to anticipate, in the way of a seer, issues that were fermenting and wanted to take shape, and to shape them, and not the least did his personality lack authoritative charisma, carrying the stigma of repulsive ugliness.

He himself possessed too many traits that were contrary to the Ancient Egyptian ideal of a master race; he was licentious, effusive, led by emotions, morally debauched and obstinate.

“This was, what I think, a decisive turning point in the international history of Egyptology,” Said Professor Schneider. 

“Germany lost its status and it has to struggle for many decades after the war until it again became recognized and appreciated (in) the discipline,” he said adding, “Germany had basically sacrificed, through the NS regime, its academic standing.”
