Going to pin this for a bit ~ for some exposure.

I can recommend his books. I've read three of them.

Gotta' clear a few hours on my schedule!   

No doubt. I've seen some of this material. I'm glad SlowLo made a thread about it.

Good stuff!

This subject is not for the faint of heart. It will shake your foundation. It will alter your perception of the origin of humans.

You will either dismiss it as untrue, or come to grips with a new paradigm.

Thank you

Recently there has been an interest in literal translations of Biblical texts.

This discussion may not be for everyone. Please be respectful if your opinion differs from the information presented.

I will not tolerate mudslinging or disrespect for those of us who wish to dig deeply into the original language of religious texts.

The first video is one put out by Paul Wallis.

58 minutes

I shoulda' taken notes. 

That was quite some hodgepodge, but I did follow the similarities and the dot connections.


I've deep dived Scripture for 50 years ~ and from tying in in the original languages, word meanings and cultural reference at the time written, the various 'categories' though out
the Bible ~ I've discovered that it makes sense and is a perfectly thought out presentation of communication from Deity to mankind.  It presents the Holy nature of God and why redemption by Grace is the only, and genius way to attain reconciliation.

The message has been preserved, intact for millennia and has at this point, undoubtedly nearly reached the entire planet.  Not so much for the other ancient texts.

The message is so simple, a child can understand.

Needless to say, I will not be swayed from salvation, by grace, through faith. 


I will view the succeeding videos ~ I'm anxious to see if there is a 'salvation' message forthcoming ~ or a path towards reconciliation after death.

There may be nuggets of truth ~ thing is, it's buried so deeply in the ancient past only time travel could unravel it.

To my way of thinking (and sanity) it really doesn't matter all that much ~ we're here and now, and have culturally have been hanging together, communicating for a handful+ of millennia.

I'll throw my bet down with Blaise Pascal's wager.

Clif High served as a heads up, but I resisted. K. Time to dig in and here's the material to dig into.

Thank you for that. Isn't it a shame how archeological discoveries are so often hidden from the public as though those discoveries are dangerous to the carefully crafted narrative told to the public.

Gobeckli Tepi comes to mind. The WEF has taken control of the site and declared that further excavation has to be put off for 100 years. What are they afraid of?

Quote: Pascal contends that a rational person should adopt a lifestyle consistent with the existence of God and actively strive to believe in God. The reasoning behind this stance lies in the potential outcomes: if God does not exist, the individual incurs only finite losses, potentially sacrificing certain pleasures and luxuries. However, if God does indeed exist, they stand to gain immeasurably, as represented for example by an eternity in Heaven in Abrahamic tradition, while simultaneously avoiding boundless losses associated with an eternity in Hell.[2]
