- Archaeologists have discovered what they believe is man's earliest map, dating from almost 14,000 years ago Photo: EPA
- A stone tablet found in a cave in Abauntz in the Navarra region of northern Spain is believed to contain the earliest known representation of a landscape.
- Engravings on the stone, which measures less than seven inches by five inches, and is less than an inch thick, appear to depict mountains, meandering rivers and areas of good foraging and hunting.
- A map so simple, even a caveman could understand it.
- to make without any access to an overhead view, or surveying equip. or GPS.
- Just how did they make the representations accurate enough for them to follow?
- Still, a really detailed map - for a bunch of supposed primative people in 12,000 BC -
- These are not simple scrachings on a rock wall. Simple scratchings would not be made like a modern relief map, which that one is, certainly not by a people who say “Ugh” a lot.
- To paraphrase:
  
  The deep past is not only stranger than we know, it is stranger that we can imagine.

THE RAS SHAMRA TABLETS
Ras Shamra, on the coast of Asia Minor opposite Cyprus, seems a far cry
from Arabia, but there is reason to believe that the Phoenician inhabitants
of this place, the ancient seaport of Ugarit, were in some way connected
with Kadesh and the Negeb from the second millennium onwards.
17 more annotations...
- [For
  the best account of the Ras Shamra discoveries, see J. W. Jack, The Ras
  Shamra Tablets (1935).]
- The site was discovered
  by Schaeffer and Chenet in 1929, and since then has been systematically
  excavated.
- Among the ruins, some of them remarkably well preserved and exhibiting traces
  of close intercourse with Egypt, a large number of very interesting inscribed
  tablets have come to light, dating apparently from the fifteenth and fourteenth
  centuries BC,
  
  that is, contemporary with those of Tell el Amarna.
- Amongst these tablets are some written in an archaic Semitic dialect, closely
  akin to Hebrew, and in a unique alphabetical cuneiform script which has recently
  been deciphered by Dhorme [Dhorme, J.P.O.S. xi.1; W.O.P.187.],
  Gaster, and others.
- These tablets present a picture in this Syrian seaport of a Semitic culture
  and religion clearly related to those of Minaean Arabia, and once more many
  interesting parallels with Hebrew tradition and ceremonial may be drawn,
  although it seems as yet too early to decide what may be the precise relationship
  between the two.
- Dr. Jack
  
  [See also Marston, New Knowledge and the
  Old Testament (1933); The Bible is True (1934).]
  
  gives
  a long list of technical terms identical with those of the Mosaic Code,
  
  such as the words for Trespass Offering,
  
  Peace Offering, Wave Offering,
  
  First-fruits, Burnt Offering, and the like.
- The colony at Ras Shamra admitted to their pantheon such deities as Baal
  [As a god of the Underworld and an ancient enemy of Elohim, his name appears
  as Baal-Zebul.],
  
  Ashtaroth, Dagon, and Hathor,
  
  but appear to have accorded special prominence to a supreme deity
  
  known, as in Hebrew, by the name EL,
  
  or in the plural ELOHIM.
- The name JAH also appears in compounds.
- There is also an interesting reference to a god Salem,
  
  who may be the divinity after whom Jerusalem was named.
- And we read of a primeval hero called Daniel, who 'renders justice' to all.
- Historically significant may be the recently discovered (1934) Keret
  Tablet mentioning a strife between Keret king of Sidon and the people
  of Asher on the one hand, and Zabulon together with the followers of Terah
  on the other -
  
  possibly an echo of the Hebrew invasion.
  
  [Note how the Song of Deborah mentions the defection of Asher, Judges
  v.17.]
- Further points of interest in these tablets may appear
  as they are fully deciphered.
- Already they are said to show some acquaintance with primitive Biblical tradition?
- with Adam, the 'Man from the East', for instance,
- and the 'cutting in pieces' of Leviathan [See above, p.16.].
- We are assured, too, that the Wilderness of Kadesh is named as the birthplace
  of their religion.
- In a reference upon these tablets to a sacred object called ED (stone of
  testimony)
  
  Gaster believes 'we may see the prototype of Israel's "ark of testimony" (Eduth),
  
  later interpreted as the receptacle of divinely inscribed "tablets of
  testimony" '.

- We're in the far west of China. The arid land has been yielding up some extraordinary finds: The mummies of Xinjiang. Xinjiang Province is the overland bridge between China and Central Asia. In the early part of the last century, Europeans exploring Xinjiang began uncovering mummies, in shallow desert graves. More recently, Chinese archaeologists have made additional discoveries. The state of preservation is extraordinary, a result of the dry, salty desert soil. One striking fact about the mummies stands out. They don't seem to be Chinese. Their full beards, prominent noses and red or blonde hair colours are clearly Northern European features and so are the green or blue eyes depicted in artwork and described in local folk tales. So where did they come from?

- Newgrange is one of a number of ancient tombs in the Boyne Valley in the Irish county of Meath, north of Dublin.
- Built circa 3200 BC, it predates Stonehenge and the Pyramids of Giza.
- A passage tomb, Newgrange was built with astronomical alignment.
- On the morning of the Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year, the central chamber is briefly illuminated by the rising sun's rays coming through the passage.
- The surrounding area of this and other tombs is open to the public, but entry to the tomb is restricted to the morning of the Winter Solstice, and only to those people lucky enough to have won the annual ticket lottery (in 2007 there were over 28,000 applications).

Extersteine: the quest for Germany’s roots

www.philipcoppens.com/irminsul.html - Preview

philip-coppens germany ancient pagans nazis wiligut Externsteine great-pillar detmold rock irminsul sacred-tree yggdrasil

The
church of St Peter is a large, interesting building. On the left-hand
side, near the confessional, is a solitary stone, which is labeled
“Irminsul”, and which is known to have been found
on the site in 1938.
Speaking to the local vicar, he notes that
there is doubt whether this is indeed the original Irminsul, noting
that it is not made of wood, but is instead a stone structure,
similar in form to the Irminsul on display in Externsteine –
though this time, not cut down.
48 more annotations...
- The vicar then relates the story
  of how, indeed, Charlemagne cut down the Irminsul, and leads us
  down to a small chapel, located under the main altar. Though today
  off-limits and locked by key, it is here, at the spot where the
  original main altar was built, that the original Irminsul stood
  that Charlemagne had cut down and where a Christian altar was
  built.
- The Irminsul in the church above is therefore thought to be a
  fraud, and the vicar implies it was a sign of the times. 1938,
  of course, was when the Nazi regime was in power and the fortunate
  discovery of an Irminsul might have helped promote some of Wiligut’s
  beliefs.
- Wilhelm Teudt, a Protestant vicar,
  had carried out private research into Germanic culture in Detmold
  from 1920 onwards.
- But
  Wiligut was not alone, nor the first, to focus on the Irminsul
  in the early 20th century.
- Teudt had interpreted the Externsteine as an
  “ancient Germanic cult centre” and in 1933 Teudt joined
  the Nazi Party and proposed to turn the Externsteine into a “sacred
  grove” for the commemoration of the ancestors. Hence, it
  should be he, not Wiligut, who was responsible for making the
  Externsteine part of the Nazi doctrine.
- Heinrich Himmler was open to the idea, and in 1933 initiated and
  then presided over the “Externstein Foundation”, though
  it was actively run by SS-Standartenführer Wolfram Sievers.
- Interest in the site was also furthered by the Nazi Ahnenerbe
  division, developed to further research into the anthropological
  and cultural history of the Aryan race.
- There remain copies available
  of Dr. Prof. Wilhelm Teudt’s “Kampf um Germanenehre”
  (In Battle for German Honour), published by the Ahnenerbe in 1940,
  which has the Irminsul on the cover of the book.
- A look inside
  the book also reveals that the Ahnenerbe used the Irminsul as
  its logo.
- The book’s 215 pages make the case for Teudt’s
  theory, and it is therefore no wonder that he became known as
  the “Extersteineführer”. Teudt argued that it
  was at the top of the highest rock at Externsteine that the sacred
  Irminsul once stood.
- That
  highest rock is not only the central rock, but also the only rock
  that has retained its original peak. It is also the rock that,
  on top, has an enigmatic chapel constructed.
- In the front part,
  a niche was hewn out, creating a small chapel, containing a narrow
  altar. A circular window faces almost exactly north-east, towards
  sunrise on the summer solstice.
- Interestingly, no historical source
  relates to the origin of this chapel and hence when it was built,
  is a question mark.
- The problem, of course, remains with the dating, even if we were
  to assume that the Extersteine became the site of the Irminsul
  in 460 AD, as Wiligut proclaimed.
- Paleolithic and Mesolithic stone
  tools were found there dating from before 10,000 BC, but little
  else was found, until the site enters history in 1093 AD, when
  the land surrounding the stones was bought by the monks of the
  Abdinghof of Paderborn. The late 11th century, of course, is even
  long after Charlemagne’s campaign, and hence the argument
  that here too, an Irminsul was destroyed, remains without evidence.
- But
  rather than an Irminsul on top of the central rock, as Teudt argued,
  I would suggest it was the central itself that was seen as the
  Irminsul.
- This becomes apparent when we note that there are references
  to Irmin in the tribal name Herminones, which some link with Hermes
  – himself often linked with pillars, known as hermae.
- But
  it is from the Old Norse Jörmunr, which was one of the names
  of Odin, just like Yggr, that there is a connection to the World
  Tree.
- Noting that the name Externsteine in origin was known as
  the “Stones of the Egge”, one can only wonder whether
  there is a linguistic connection between Yggr and Egge.
- Yggr's
  horse, or Yggdrasil, was the yew or ash tree from which Odin sacrificed
  himself, and which, like the Irminsul, connected Heaven and Earth.
- Where Teudt et al. went
  wrong, was that they wanted to present Germany with a uniformed,
  straightforward history. In truth, it is likely that there were
  several Germanic tribes in the region, each of them having an
  Irmin pillar, meaning that Charlemagne had to cut down more than
  just one – and that the Germany tribes were not as united
  as the Nazis hoped they would be.
- It is therefore clear that within the reasoning of Teudt and Wiligut,
  there were some meaningful observations.
- Indeed, Jakob Grimm cites the
  12th century Kaiserchronik as mentioning several Irmin pillars
  in existence, each being a “Great Pillar” for a tribe.
- Hence, Obermarsberg had one, Externsteine could have had one,
  Goslar – for Wiligut the most important site of all –
  could have had one. And Hildesheim, roughly between Externsteine
  and Goslar, has one – and just south of that town, there
  is even a village named Irminseul, leaving no doubt there was
  once an Irminsul connection there too.
- In
  Hildesheim, the official story goes that the remains of an Irmin
  pillar – dating back to Roman times – are present
  inside the cathedral, “where it has been adapted as a candelabrum”.
  If one enters the
- cathedral looking for an image similar to the
  Irminsul of Obermarsberg or the relief of Externsteine, one will
  leave disappointed.
- Indeed, the only candidate inside the church
  is a candelabra up a flight of steps – normally off-limits
  to the public.
- Its interpretation as an Irminsul will only be
  apparent if one compares it to the depiction of the Irminsul on
  the commemorative plaque about the felling of the Irminsul in
  772 inside the entrance of the church in Obermarsberg.
- By apparent coincidence, this church holds another important “great
  pillar”: the “Pillar of Christ” is 4.7 meters
  high and made of bronze and a fantastic piece of workmanship.
  Reliefs on the pillar depict all the miracles of Jesus in a spiral
  from the bottom to the top. One can only wonder whether this “Pillar
  of Christ” is somehow meant to balance the Irmin pillar,
  each one sitting on one side of the altar.
- It
  is therefore clear that the area was Irminsul-dense, and just
  to the south of Obermarsberg is Priesterberg, a hill overlooking
  the valley of the Diemel.
- Some argue that it was the location
  of yet another Irminsul, which was replaced by a stone structure,
  possibly a tower. Others argue that the tower is merely part of
  a system of watchtowers, and indeed, from the nearby road and
  car park, other towers are visible.
- But when you inspect the tower
  more closely, you find it is a most curious construction, hollow
  at its centre and leading to a small subterranean cavity, yet
  largely unable to accommodate a human being.
- The only conclusion
  one can draw is quite similar to that drawn by Ralph Ellis when
  confronted with round towers: could this tower have protected
  the trunk of a tree that grew from this “stone pillar”?
- As bizarre as it might sound, an inspection on the ground suggests
  this is the only logical scenario. And if true, then we might
  indeed be confronted with a “World Tree” on this site
  too.
- But the more likely scenario is that the Irminsul was the
  central rock itself and the presence of a stone pulpit in front
  of it suggests that sermons were preached from here.
- So
  was there, or was there not, an Irminsul at Externsteine?
- Some
  have argued that if there was, that it stood on top of the central
  rock.
- When delving into the earliest historical records of the site,
  it is clear that the site had some pagan connotation, hence no
  doubt why the large relief, measuring 3.5 by 5 metres and being
  the largest rock relief in Europe, was created here, to visualise
  the conquest of Christianity over the pagan tradition.
- Itself
  dating from the late 12th century, a dedication on the altar in
  the main grotto behind the relief has the date as 1115 and is
  considered to be the oldest evidence of occupation of the site.
- Records state that in the Middle Ages, this was a hermitage, and
  the oldest record on the matter, dated 1366-1367, refers to it
  as the “reclusorium Egesterenstein”. But despite its
  Christian usage, some features of the site are not easily explained.
- Why, for example, was there an Eagle carved in the door that leads
  to two artificial caves? The basin in the floor of one cave is
  likely to be partially natural, partially artificial, but no definite
  explanation as to its purpose has ever been given.
- Near the site
  of the relatively modern and artificial lake is also an empty,
  stone-hewn tomb, whose purpose has equally escaped a straightforward
  explanation.
- Some have
  – rather imaginatively – argued that the entire complex
  might have been seen as a replica of Jerusalem, with the empty
  tomb symbolising the Tomb of Christ and forming the object of
  a pilgrimage, for those unable to travel to Jerusalem.
- Though
  it is an argument that cannot be disproven, it can also not be
  proven. Indeed, researchers into heretical forms of Christianity
  posit that the site may have been used by one such community,
  and that the “hermits” might perhaps have been “heretics”,
  and that they chose the site because of the presence of this Great
  Pillar.
- A series of excavations were organised in the 1930s, but provided
  no proof for the pet theories of Teudt and Wiligut. Hence, very
  much like the Quest for the Holy Grail, the Quest for the Holy
  Irminsul became all about the quest itself, and not about the
  final goal.
- In
  the end, we do not know, and neither did the Germans in the 1930s.
- Furthermore, seeing the site was so important for
  Nazism has left a certain inhibition with some to either create
  new theories on or involve the Irminsuls or the Externsteine;
  it seems that both subjects are felt to be best left alone.
- I
  would like to thank Andy Gough for his most enjoyable company
  while visiting the various sites mentioned in this article.

Digging Biblical History At 'The End Of The World'

- Tel Aviv University archaeologists are studying Tel Megiddo, the New Testament location of "Armageddon," and unearthing truths about King Solomon.
- Some come to dig the archeological site at Tel Megiddo because they are enchanted by ancient stories of King Solomon.
- Others come because they believe in a New Testament prophecy that the mound of dirt will be the location of a future Judgment Day apocalyptic battle.
- Hence the second, rather more chilling name for the site: "Armageddon."
- At the Megiddo Dig: The Assyrian palace of Stratum III (Credit: AFTAU
- Tel Megiddo has been the subject of a number of decisive battles in ancient times (among the Egyptian, Hebrew and Assyrian peoples) and today it holds a venerated place in archaeology, explains site co-director and world-renowned archeologist Prof. Israel Finkelstein.
- Says Prof. Finkelstein, from the Department of Archaeology and Ancient Near Eastern Cultures at Tel Aviv University, "Megiddo is one of the most interesting sites in the world for the excavation of biblical remains.
- Now volunteers and students from around the world can participate in the dig which lets them uncover 3,000 years worth of history -- from the late 4th millennium B.C.E. to the middle of the first millennium C.E."
- Prof. Finkelstein, who belongs to the Sonia and Marco Nadler Institute of Archaeology at Tel Aviv University, has been co-directing the site with Prof. David Ussishkin, also of Tel Aviv University, since 1994.
- Likened to a "lightening rod" by the journal Science (2007), Prof. Finkelstein is famous for his unconventional way of interpreting biblical history: he puts emphasis on the days of the biblical authors in the 7th century B.C.E. and theorizes that ancient rulers such as David and Solomon, who lived centuries earlier, were "tribal chieftains ruling from a small hill town, with a modest palace and royal shrine."
- Yet, "new archaeological discoveries should not erode one's sense of tradition and identity," he states.
- Prof. Ze'ev Herzog, who heads the archaeology institute at Tel Aviv University, says, "There has been an important revolution in biblical history in the last decades.
- We are now uncovering the difference between myth and history, and between reality and ideology of the ancient authors. This is the role of our generation of archaeologists -- to unearth the real historical reality to find out why and how the biblical records were written."
- The archeologists aren't the only ones looking for answers. More than one hundred volunteers come from all corners of the world to dig Megiddo alongside Prof. Finkelstein every year. They are teachers, journalists, actors, construction workers, professors and housewives, as well as archaeology, history and divinity students who dig for credit.

- Archaeologists in the ancient city of Troy in Turkey have found the remains of a man and a woman believed to have died in 1,200 B.C., the time of the legendary war chronicled by Homer, a leading German professor said on Tuesday.
- Ernst Pernicka, a University of Tubingen professor of archaeometry who is leading excavations on the site in northwestern Turkey, said the bodies were found near a defense line within the city built in the late Bronze age.
- The discovery could add to evidence that Troy's lower area was bigger in the late Bronze Age than previously thought, changing scholars' perceptions about the city of the "Iliad."
- An undated handout picture shows the remains of a man and a woman believed to have died in 1,200 B.C. in the ancient city of Troy in northwestern Turkey.

- "If the remains are confirmed to be from 1,200 B.C. it would coincide with the Trojan war period.
- These people were buried near a moat.
- We are conducting radiocarbon testing, but the finding is electrifying," Pernicka told Reuters in a telephone interview.
- Ancient Troy, located in the northwest of modern-day Turkey at the mouth of the Dardanelles not far south of Istanbul, was unearthed in the 1870s by Heinrich Schliemann, the German entrepreneur and pioneering archaeologist who discovered the steep and windy city described by Homer.
- Pernicka said pottery found near the bodies, which had their lower parts missing, was confirmed to be from 1,200 BC, but added the couple could have been buried 400 years later in a burial site in what archaeologists call Troy VI or Troy VII, different layers of ruins at Troy.
- Tens of thousands of visitors flock every year to the ruins of Troy, where a huge replica of the famous wooden horse stands along with an array of excavated ruins.

- The massive eruption in 1883 that shook the world resulted in the virtual disintegration of Krakatau, and the formation of a deep caldera where the volcanic vent once stood, a “hole in the ocean floor” forty times deeper than the surrounding seawater (according to geologist Charles Mandeville of the National Museum of Science).
- This distance is approximately two-thirds of a mile (0.666 mi.) from the central cone associated with of the eruption of the father Krakatau in 1883.
- The shallowest present-day Sunda Strait water depth in the main channel is about 65’, so that would be a very deep caldera indeed. Fortunately, there is additional evidence pointing toward a more specific original caldera/water depth post-Krakatau eruption.
- The most important water depth figure, however, is an actual measurement done by the RDM Verbeek survey in October of 1883, two months after the great eruption. His crew was unable to reach the bottom of the caldera with a lead line 200 fathoms (366 meters or 1201 feet) long. Therefore, the caldera depth was greater than 1201.”
- These depths range from 980’ or more (Volcanological Survey of Indonesia), 1000’ or more (Johnson, 2004; Thornton, 1996), and greater than 885’ (Rosi et al., 2003).
- An analysis of all this water depth information leaves these authors convinced that the depth of the caldera post-1883 explosion was approximately 1200’-1300’, or essentially 1260’.
- The number “1260” is an important number in Bible prophecy, as it specifically references “the 70th Week” (Daniel 9:27), specifically in this case the 2nd Half, or “Great Tribulation,” a period of 1260 days.
- It should be noted that the 1883 explosion of Krakatau registered atmospheric waves which circled the earth 7 times according to World News and Prophecy (2004). Seven times around the earth is 2520 degrees, the Biblical number of division.
- The outline of the “eye” of the caldera post-1883 eruption represents a depth of 885’, which means that the eye itself is significantly deeper than this. It is our determination that a depth of the caldera eye of 1260’ is reasonable, and is certainly conceivable that this depth would be a prophetic number given the amazing coordinates of the volcanic cone itself at Latitude 6 degrees, 6 minutes, 6 seconds South.

  The Eye of Primal ANAK , at
  birth, a depth of 1260’
- This extremely deep caldera formed in a very similar manner to that of Crater Lake, Oregon, a manner which volcanologists refer to as “simple collapse following voluminous pumice eruptions.”
- Certainly, an explosion as massive as that of 1883 Krakatau could form a caldera less than half as deep as this!
- From the base of the Crater Lake caldera (bottom of lake) to the top of the rim is about 3000’.
- With the volcanic cone at the Latitude of 6 degrees, 6 minutes, and 6 seconds, its connection to the magma chamber straight below, and the chamber communication with the core of the earth (according to Charles Mandeville), could we then say that Anak is the gateway to hell itself?
- The depth of the abyss, a portal to and from the underworld? Indeed we might.
- There are fault lines running directly under the island. The upper magma chamber is located at a depth of about 9 km, based on S wave attenuation studies, and a larger chamber lies at a depth of 22 km and beyond (Harjono et al., 1989).
- Discovery Earth’s producer, Larry Hanlon, calls Anak a “a rare window into Earth’s mantle” and “a natural laboratory” (L. O’Hanlon, 2008).
- Anak is located directly above the subduction zone of the Eurasian Plate and the Indo-Australian Plate at a “kink” in the boundary which formed in 1988.
- According to Widiyontoro and Hilst (2006) the subducted slab takes a “detour” at this location. This kink has led to crustal thinning and additional melting under Anak Krakatau, which makes the Sunda Strait a type of “rift zone.”
- This rifting, or thinning of the crust, is felt by the deep hot rocks as decompression, which causes the rocks to melt into magma. Magma then buoys upward and eventually erupts.
- This erupting lava is basaltic (mafic) in nature.
- The second type of magma is the more felsic variety (andesite to dacite) created by the Indo-Australian Plate subducting under Sumatra and Java.
- As the subducted rock goes deeper, it’s baked by heat from Earth’s mantle; trapped seawater which reaches rocks of the right pressure conditions can then help melt the rocks into magma. This is how the two distinct magma sources can both contribute to the chamber of ANAK. As discussed earlier in the series, stratovolcanoes with mingled magma are the most volatile of all.
- The magma source for Anak is still mainly basaltic (dark and silica-lean) currently; however, a clue that Anak is “going critical” will be a change in lava to a lighter-colored, silica-rich, more viscous andesitic or dacitic lava.
- This could occur anytime due to the melting going on directly underneath Anak, which has hastened in the past 21 years since the plate boundary kink developed. This is the reason that it is feasible Anak could soon explode violently once again, relatively soon after its last massive eruption in 1883.
- A mechanism for supplying the andesitic to dacitic (felsic) magma to the chamber of the volcano could be earthquakes in the general vicinity. With the crust already so thin, earthquakes of at least 7.0 magnitude could really help speed up the process of magma channeling.
- Therefore, close observation of quake activity in the general Java/Sumatra and Sunda Strait region is essential. Indeed, just days before the publication of this article, a destructive 7.6 quake in West Sumatra was felt at the Anak Krakatau monitoring station!
- However, there is another, related, clue from history.
- According to Newhall and Dzurisin (1988) earthquakes were felt in western Java and eastern Sumatra 5-6 years before the catastrophic 1883 eruption, and in northern Australia up to 3 years before the eruption [emphasis, cm].
- This is extremely significant due to the tectonic plate boundaries involved which are, by the way, converging faster than most other plate boundaries in the world due to intense heat from the core in this area of very thin crust.
- It is absolutely frightening to recall that the devastating tsunami of December 26, 2004 was related to a massive 9.3 magnitude earthquake off of Sumatra.
- If we take this date as the “starting point” of recent earthquake activity, and move forward 5 to 6 years, it appears that we might be on the cusp of an Anak Krakatau eruption.
- The activity in the general Australia/New Zealand area may also be on the rise as demonstrated by the 7.8 magnitude quake earlier this year, the recent 5.3 magnitude quake near Papua New Guinea and most recently the Vanuatu quake of 7.4 magnitude.
- Anthony Wright, in his 2003 essay “Ghosts of Krakatoa” comments on his first close view of the son rising from the waters of the Sunda Strait, as he traveled toward it in a native sea dinghy “we rounded a devastated cape and rejoined the current of the Selat Sunda, to face Anak rising from the pale waters, raw and embryonic.” [emphasis, cm]
- SYNCHRONIZED CHAOS
- To Charles Mandeville, ANAK “is an angry teenager.” Indeed, or a young man already over 1100’ high and growing several inches per week. [emphasis, cm]
- “The mountain [Anak Krakatau] is no longer silent. It is gurgling, rumbling, steaming, convulsing. Perhaps it is preparing for Revelation 16:20. In any case, it is preparing, once more, behind the scenes, to be heard and seen by the entire world. Are God’s children similarly preparing?” (Johnson, 2004) [emphasis, cm]
- After the massive eruption of Krakatau in 1883, only one-third of the island remained. Could the future eruption of Anak the son be three times greater than that of Krakatau his father? These authors believe that indeed it could be.
- All of the pieces are in place, with the main one being the “kink” of 1988. All the remains now is, first, an initial trigger to bring the felsic magma material into the magma chamber, where it will both mingle with the basaltic material and make the vent more explosive. This will serve to “get him ready.” Secondly, there must be another trigger to “set him off.”
- The second trigger mechanism for the unleashing of the fury of primordial ANAK will be examined in Part Five.
- A recently identified and named astronomical body not only HOLDS the key to the Abyss, but provides the inescapable description which can aptly be understood as raging hoards already straining in anticipation of imminent release.
- While these creatures have been repeatedly portrayed within Biblical commentary, it is only through the end-times “increase in knowledge” spoken of by Daniel that this army and their attendant coterie of chaos can be understood.
- Ancient texts of ancient witness have written and warned. Friezes, pottery and artwork are explicit. Throughout the world, indigenous cultures repeat the accounts of their wizened elders, thankful for being spared the horrors that their progeny will one day know.
- This enraged army forged in Hell itself, is bent on the consummation of and a species and the fulfillment of an ancient agenda.
- And as the powers of heaven are shaken, all of mankind will quake in terror upon seeing “those things which are coming upon the Earth.”
- Larry O’Hanlon finds a fitting motto for the legacy of Krakatau: is a volcano that “ALWAYS DELIVERS.”

- All citations will be provided at the conclusion of this series.
- SPECIAL NOTE, Charles Manske:
- There is a fascinating yet disturbing numerical connection between Anak Krakatau and the Great Pyramid of Giza. The distance between the two locations is precisely 4,777 Nautical miles. This numerical connection is considered to represent a supernatural mirroring (Isaiah 19:19). Yet what might this indicate?
  
  The number “7” is often considered to represent completion, and is also associated with the Great Flood, as 777 was the age of Lamech, the father of Noah, when he died. Lamech was the patriarch of the 7th human generation.
  
  The number “4” typically represents a doorway or passage, may indicate the “squaring” of a prophecy or warning, and certainly evinces the 4th great eruption of demonic activity (Dr. John Phillips, The Pastoral Epistles).
- It is our contention that the near-future massive eruption of Anak Krakatau will trigger the simultaneous, explosive uprising of the entire Ring of Fire. In analyzing the number “4,777” we conclude the following. The number “4” in this case represents the opening to the abyss, the release of demonic entities therein, and the squaring of the prophecies regarding the last days.
  
  The number “777” represents that this “last days” period will indeed be “as in the days of Noah”, albeit a second FIRE judgment, not a judgment by water. It also represents a fulfilling of the prophecies, perhaps even a “triple” or final completion before the prophesied Reign of the Millennial Kingdom. During this time there will be a fourth rebellion….and the FOURTH BEAST IS ALWAYS DIFFERENT FROM THE REST.

Beast Of Bodmin Moor
Location of Sightings:

Bodmin Moor - Cornwall (SW England - UK)
17 more annotations...
- Earliest - Latest Reported Sighting:
  
  1971 To Present
- Description:
  
  This creature has been reported as looking like a
  black panther or dark colored mountain lion.
- The
  creature has large white-yellow eyes. It's size has
  been reported as ranging from 3-5 feet long for the
  body, with a tail of roughly 18-24 inches.
- Odors described during or right after
  encounters with this creature:
  
  None Reported
- Sounds - Speech:
  
  The creature makes the usual hissing and growling
  sounds of a large cat such as a panther or mountain
  lion,
- but also has made what sounds like a woman
  screaming, only the sound is very loud and down-right
  scary.
- Interesting Sighting Details:
  
  The creature haunts one of the top sites of the world
  for ancient magical practices and services.
- The area is
  home to ancient stone circles and burial mounds.
- There
  are even giant tracts of land, shaped like figures of the
  zodiac that make up the area.
- The area was also a
  frequent place visited by knights templars.
- Miners who used to mine cobalt in the area for years
  reported the mines were full of demons, this is where
  the names 'kobolds' or minegoblins came from.
- Soldiers from the British army tracked and had the
  creature surrounded in a barn. The soldiers moved
  in towards the barn forming a circle as they neared it,
  when they entered the barn the creature had vanished.
- Webmasters Comments About This Case:
- The area this creature haunts is incredible for it's
  occult and msytical past.
- It litteraly has numerous small
  stonehenges and other sacred sites.
- The story about the creature vanishing after it was
  trapped inside a barn, is certanily a sign that the
  creature is a spirtual being, but it could be possible
  that the creature found another way to escape, such
  as a mine shaft, since the area is a source of many
  old cobalt mines.
- It seems very strange though, that
  this creature has been documented many times on
  video, has left tracks and multiple dead animals,
  has been tracked by soldiers, and sharp shooters, and
  still not one has been captured or killed.

The Mothman of Pottery Mound:

the Use of Sacred Datura in Ancient New Mexico

- By Gary A. David
- Gary David has been intrigued by the Four Corners region of the United States since his initial trip there in 1987.
- The following year he spent six months examining rock art and indigenous ruins in northern New Mexico.
- This prompted a move to Arizona In 1994, where he began an intensive study of the ancestral Pueblo People (sometimes misnamed the Anasazi) and their descendants the Hopi.
- In late 2006 after more than a decade of independent fieldwork and research, his nonfiction book The Orion Zone: Ancient Star Cities of the American Southwest was published by www.adventuresunlimitedpress.com.
- This describes a pattern of Hopi villages and ruin sites that precisely mirrors Orion, with an ancient site corresponding to each major star in the constellation.
- The sequel, also published by Adventures Unlimited Press (2008), is titled Eye of the Phoenix: Mysterious Visions and Secrets of the American Southwest.
- The book deals with diverse topics: the Ant People, Snake People, Dog Star People, Sedona Sanskrit, Arizona Knights Templar Crosses, Reptilian Round Towers, Frontier Freemasonry, Meteor Crater, Hopi Kachinas, Stone Tablets and the End Times.
- His articles have appeared in Fate (see beginning of article at: www.fatemag.com/issues/2000s/2007-01article2.html), World Explorer, Atlantis Rising, Ancient American, and Four Corners magazines. He has been interviewed on national radio programs and has given presentations extensively.
- Mr. David earned a master's degree in English literature from the University of Colorado and is a former adjunct professor. He is also a poet, with numerous volumes published. In addition, he is a professional musician, publisher of Island Hills Books (an online showcase for the literature inspired by the spirit-of-place, http://islandhills.tripod.com), and executive director/webmaster for www.theorionzone.com.
- Gary, his wife, and two cats live in rural northern Arizona, where the skies are still relatively pristine.
- From late 1966 though late 1967 the small town of Point Pleasant, West Virginia along the Ohio River was terrorized by a series of sightings of an uncanny creature that became known as Mothman.
- He was typically described as a broad-shouldered black or gray humanoid at least seven feet in height with moth-like wings that extended about ten feet.
- His glowing red eyes seemed to have a hypnotic effect. Sometimes the creature appeared headless, with his round, reflective eyes set down in his shoulders.
  
  Artist's sketch of one variation of Mothman.
- The eerie entity would reportedly swoop down on people or cars and chase them at very high speeds.
- Sometimes it would suddenly shoot straight up in the air and completely disappear. The same period saw increased sightings of luminous balls or other UFOs and unexpected appearances of Men In Black.
  
  This 12-foot-high, stainless steel statue of the Mothman located in Point Pleasant, West Virginia was created by artist Robert Roach.
- Were all these sightings of Mothman and other anomalous incidents just a weird precursor to the brief psychedelic era in popular culture when hallucinations became the norm? Or are there precedents for this phenomenon in the distant past?
- Cut to the high plain of central New Mexico in about the middle of the 14^th century.
- On the western bank of a turbulent, muddy river we see a flat-topped pyramid where a bizarre ritual is taking place. It involves a ring of elders wearing feathered headdresses, geometric medallions, white sashes, and brightly painted capes. Some are holding round shields and eagle-talon staffs.
- One of the elders raises a woven plaque heaped with tiny yellow and black seeds and brown spiny pods. The participants begin to eat the seeds, while low chants punctuated by a lone cottonwood drum rise into the endless desert night.
- At the center stands a tall being with the gray wings and coiled proboscis of the night flying hawk moth.
- An uncertain period passes as dizzy heads spin in swirling silver smoke.
- The creature then extends his massive wings and rockets high above the lone pyramid. He soars over whispering cornfields and circles the bulwark of the pueblo. Suddenly in a burst of purple light the Mothman disappears into gauzy clouds while moths flutter gently over jimsonweed blossoms glowing ghostlike in silent moonlight.
  
  The eroded cutbanks of the Rio Puerco in central New Mexico.
- Archaeologists know it as Pottery Mound, named for the profusion of polychrome potsherds. In fact, a greater variety of pottery styles were found there than at any other spot in New Mexico, with culturally distinctive ceramics coming from the Zuni and Acoma regions to the northwest and the Hopi region even farther northwest.
- Located about 12 miles southwest of the modern town of Los Lunas is the ancient village where this ritual took place.
- About 90 percent of the pottery retrieved from the site is non-utilitarian or decorative, so in its heyday the place was probably a major ceremonial center.
- Frank C. Hibben, the head archaeologist who initially excavated the site, writes: "The Rio Puerco Valley at the site of Pottery Mound is wide and almost level. In the whole region there is no place where a flat-topped structure of even modest dimensions would appear more imposing than at this spot. It is easy to see why the original builders constructed a pyramid there. " [1]

Stone Age satnav: Did ancient man use 5,000-year-old travel chart to navigate across Britain
By

- It's considered to be one of the more recent innovations to help the hapless traveller.
  But the satnav system may not be as modern as we think.
- According to a new theory, prehistoric man navigated his way across England using a similar system based on stone circles and other markers.
- Connected by triangles: Some of the sites created by Stone Age man (below)
- The complex network of stones, hill
  forts and earthworks allowed travellers to trek hundreds of miles with
  'pinpoint accuracy' more than 5,000 years ago, amateur historian Tom
  Brooks says. The grid covered much of southern England
  
  and Wales and included landmarks
  such as Stonehenge and Silbury Hill, claims Mr Brooks, a retired
  marketing executive of Honiton, Devon.
- He analysed 1,500 prehistoric sites
  in England and Wales and was able to connect all of them to at least
  two other sites using isosceles triangles - these are triangles with
  two sides the same length.
- This, he says, is proof that the
  landmarks were deliberately created as navigational aides. Many were
  built within sight of each other and provided a simple way to get from
  A to B.
- For more complex journeys, they would have broken up the route into a series of easy to navigate steps.
- Anyone starting at Silbury Hill in
  Wiltshire, for instance, could have used the grid to get to Lanyon
  Quoit in Cornwall without a map.
- Mr Brooks added: 'The sides of some
  of the triangles are over 100 miles across, yet the distances are
  accurate to within 100 metres. You cannot do that by chance.
  
  One of the monuments was on Silbury Hill, Wiltshire. It was part of a giant geometric grid used for navigating
- 'So advanced, sophisticated and
  accurate is the geometrical surveying now discovered, that we must
  review fundamentally the perception of our Stone Age forebears as
  primitive, or conclude that they received some form of external
  guidance.'
- On the question of 'external guidance', he does not rule out extraterrestrial help.
- However, Mike Pitts, editor of
  British Archaeology, said: 'The landscape of southern Britain was
  intensively settled and there are many earth works and archaeological
  finds. It is very easy to find patterns in the landscape, but it
  doesn't mean that they are real.'

Armenian cave yields ancient human brain
Excavations have produced roughly 6,000-year-old relics of a poorly known culture existing near the dawn of civilization
27 more annotations...
- By Bruce Bower
  
  Web edition
  : Monday, January 12th, 2009
- In a cave overlooking southeastern Armenia’s Arpa River, just across the border from Iran, scientists have uncovered what may be the oldest preserved human brain from an ancient society.
- The cave also offers surprising new insights into the origins of modern civilizations, such as evidence of a winemaking enterprise and an array of culturally diverse pottery.
- Excavations in and just outside of Areni-1 cave during 2007 and 2008 yielded an extensive array of Copper Age artifacts dating to between 6,200 and 5,900 years ago,
- reported Gregory Areshian of the University of California, Los Angeles, January 11 at the annual meeting of the Archaeological Institute of America.
- In eastern Europe and the Near East, an area that encompasses much of southwest Asia, the Copper Age ran from approximately 6,500 to 5,500 years ago.
- The finds show that major cultural developments occurred during the Copper Age in areas outside southern Iraq, which is traditionally regarded as the cradle of civilization, Areshian noted.
- The new cave discoveries move cultural activity in what’s now Armenia back by about 800 years.
- A basin two meters long installed inside the Armenian cave and surrounded by large jars and the scattered remains of grape husks and seeds apparently belonged to a large-scale winemaking operation.
  - Noah? Armenia is close to the Genesis record of the landing spot of Noah and the Ark. The Genesis account goes on to relate Noah getting drunk off wine he made. Any connection here? - on 2009-01-14
  Add Sticky Note
- Researchers also found a trio of Copper Age human skulls, each buried in a separate niche inside the three-chambered, 600-square–meter cave.
- The skulls belonged to 12- to 14-year-old girls, according to anatomical analyses conducted independently by three biological anthropologists.
- Fractures identified on two skulls indicate that the girls were killed by blows from a club of some sort, probably in a ritual ceremony, Areshian suggested.
- “This is the oldest known human brain from the Old World,” Areshian said. The Old World comprises Europe, Asia, Africa and surrounding islands.
- Remarkably, one skull contained a shriveled but well-preserved brain.
- Scientists now studying the brain have noted preserved blood vessels on its surface. Surviving red blood cells have been extracted from those hardy vessels for analysis.
- It’s unclear who frequented Areshi-1, where these people lived or how big their settlements were. No trace of household activities has been found in or outside the cave.
- Whoever they were, these people participated in trade networks that ran throughout the Near East, Areshian proposes.
- Copper Age pottery at the site falls into four groups, only one of which represents a local product.
- A group of painted ceramic items came from west-central Iran.
- Some pots display a style typical of the Maikop culture from southern Russia and southeastern Europe.
- Still other pieces were characteristic of the Kura-Arax culture that flourished just west of Maikop territory in Russia.
- Radiocarbon dating of pottery and other Copper Age finds pushes back the origins of the Maikop and Kura-Arax cultures by nearly 1,000 years, Areshian says.
- Additional discoveries at Areni-1 include metal knives, seeds from more than 30 types of fruit, remains of dozens of cereal species, rope, cloth, straw, grass, reeds and dried grapes and prunes.
- A hard, carbonate crust covering the Copper Age soil layers, along with extreme dryness and stable temperatures inside the cave, contributed to preservation of artifacts and, in particular, the young girl’s brain.
- Medieval ovens from the 12th to 14th centuries have also been excavated at the cave’s entrance, underneath a rock shelter.
- Areshian expects much more material to emerge from further excavations at Areni-1 and from explorations of the many other caves bordering the Arpa River.
- “One of these caves is much larger than Areni-1, covering about an acre inside,” he said.

- The fact remains that Israeli archaeologists are totally mystified by the Gilgal
  Refaim.
- No other complex built in the Middle East resembles it and it
  predates the pyramids by over 500 years.
- The indigenous nomads of the time
  did not engage in this kind of megalith building, so outsiders were probably
  the builders. According to the Bible, the only outsiders living on the Golan
  Heights back then were giants.
- Maybe it's a longshot, but no one has come up with a better explanation for
  Israel's current UFO wave.
- I conclude on a somber note. The biblical giants were God's enemy and
  Israel's armies were the means to their utter destruction. There is a legitimate
  reason to contemplate the recent re-arrival of giants in Israel with a good
  measure of dread.
