Detailed Scientific Geological Biological Historical Study on Global Flood of Noah

The Best movie explaining Noah’s Flood Ever made?

This is a pretty good scientific video on the historical global Flood. I am sure the maker has visited our blog as he uses some of our graphics and maybe got a few ideas from our articles. He also doesn’t try to use a mainly Bible quoting stratagem, although he does in the beginning just a little and at the end.

But he dives into the details of geological proofs, that the Flood is THE best explanation of the geological features of our planet, that the fault lines are THE evidence and cause of the Floodwaters coming from beneath the crust. Unfortunately he must not have watched Nathan Hoffman’s video about the new Flood date of the 3000 BC Flood, based on the Greek Septuagint translation, but still sticks to a 2.350 BC some flood.

I noticed though that he didn’t mention the hydro-plate and hydro-planing theory of Walt Brown which I do support, whereas he does support the subduction theory of the plates that appear as lava and are expulsed at the mid-oceanic rifts and then disappear under the land crust to be remelted. I am not a geologist enough, but I have heard and read some voices that do NOT support that for a lack of evidence, which I kind of agreed with.

SUBDUCTION MECHANISM REQUIRES “MILLIONS” OF YEARS?

I am not a trained geologist, so I wouldn’t be able to put it into the proper words. But I wonder about subduction because I don’t know how many thousands or “millions” of years would be necessary to divide the continents, IF subduction was the mechanism. If it really was/is “subduction” as Darwinians believe that it took lo-o-o-ong ages to accomplish the continental divide, then it would not be a sudden division as Walt Brown suggests it was, also based on Genesis of course that may suggest that the continental division was a relatively short term event. IF super-slow subduction was the mechanism then it must have greatly slowed down since the parting of the continents event, or Raw Matt – the maker of the video – would have some other reason to support it that we don’t know? Matt Raw waddouyousay? Mostly  great video though. Kudos! Besides our graphics did you get any ideas here Matt from our writings? Would love to know!

Our continental divide views here, are more based on Walt Brown’s science and study, and our own theory that the “division of the Earth” during Phaleg (Septuagint) or Peleg’s days refers to the drifting apart of the continents. Why!

Because IMHO the continents could not have drifted apart as stable units or solid enough entities, right at the end of the Flood year, to travel quickly and to rise up as stacks that wouldn’t collapse in onto itself to form mountain ranges, as they wouldn’t be dry enough yet to stay intact and act as one unit to slide or hydroplane away from each other when the basalt Moho began to rise and form the mid oceanic rift – which must have taken some more time than a mere few months – in and below the fault line, which caused the plates to start hydro-planing away from each other.

I don’t know what kind of mechanism he would support & refer to to explain the sliding? On what? If water, then he would support Walt Brown’s theory. Why doesn’t he mention it? Is he shy to refer to Brown because Brown was attacked by some Creationists with big websites, and he wanted to evade the ‘shame’? I don’t know. Maybe he will tell us in some comment when he sees this article. I’d be interested to hear.

Our view is then that Peleg’s division of the Earth may refer to the geological earth during the continental dividing that must have happened perhaps around 2600 BC, a few centuries (400 yrs. according to original Pentateuch in the Septuagint & the Samaritan Pentateuch) after the 3000 BC Flood, to give the continents enough time to dry out enough to act as a unit and form mountain shelves that wouldn’t collapse but stay intact enough, yet not too dry to prevent the folding of the strata without cracking, which are observed in the strata folding pictures below, where no cracks are observed at all.

But, as I said, I am a geological layman and probably don’t use all the proper terminology and so on. But to me it makes perfect sense that the ‘muddy’ continents had to dry out somewhat before they would start traveling and forming super high mountains.

That division of the crustal plates is also supported by the facts that – for example- the first tribe of kangaroos and other marsupials had time to flee the preying lion tribes and were able to escape & travel to Australia where they found safety from such predators and were eventually isolated by the ‘continental divide’ and much later as well,  by the 1500 BC sea level rise that fully separated Australia from South East Asia. It also flooded Atlantis, Doggerland, Sunda land, Land of Mu, and southern Indian lands like Kumari Kandam, and other places.

Doggerland! Ignore the wrong dating!

So these are some of our reasons to believe the ‘division of the Earth’ took place not at the end of the ± 3000 BC Flood Year, but perhaps 4 centuries later. Which would also give reason to believe that the first pan-world megalithic culture – probably of giants – were able to leave their megalithic structures all over the world, as they were able to hop over or get around the fault-lines to move from continent to continent to built their monstrosities.

Case in point would be the port-like structures of Puma Punka and Lake Titicaca (see pic below) that BOTH used to be at sea level and were raised into the air several thousands of meters. In the process they were destroyed and broken and the giants probably killed and buried by severe land slides and/or earthquakes. If my theory of a 400 year post Flood physical division of the Earth is true, then that would explain that Puma Punku was built after the Flood and not before the Flood, as Matt Raw believes.

Another proof that Puma Punku was built after the Flood is because of its bronze links between the stones which are also found in many other megalithic ruins in South America, Egypt, as well as many other places. Also if the Puma Punku remains on deeper strata like limestone that would discredit that it was built before the Flood, following the same proof that the Giza pyramids were not built before the Flood as they stand on limestone deposits from the Flood.

But who knows. it all happened 5000 years ago, and that is a mighty long time, so we can’t get dogmatic about our theories, unless they are based on direct proofs & empirical evidence a la Karl Popper. Maybe we are both wrong. You see, I have been wrong before, you know?  🙂

All in all, this Matt’s 2019 video, fills in a lot of empty spaces in the true historical  narrative that outwits the Darwinian one 1000 to 1 , and no one knows it all. God bless Matt. Job well done! Every year new historical details of TRUE Non-Darwinian History Science are discovered collectively by many researchers, and we are slowly winning the information war, even though we don’t control big media.

One other thing about Lake Titicaca not being salty like the oceans now, is based on the theory that the Antediluvian ocean was not or much less salty than today’s oceans having 5000 years of run off ever since.  If its salt percentage is very small, it could be the result of 1650 years of pre-Flood civilisation run-offs in rivers only, as it didn’t even rain yet before the Flood.

These giants (Nephilim descendants) probably didn’t like to stay around the more civilised, still God-fearing, tribes in the Middle East like Noah and his son Shem’s offspring, as they righteously cramped these cannibals’ style. So that may have been a reason for them to soon move & split the scene to get out of the cultural and religious Mesopotamian center of human birth.

Cham/Ham’s progeny like Kana-an mingled with giants, as reported by Moses in Genesis, and cooperated with them in Canaan and Syria until Joshua and the Israelites made short shrift of them and the surviving giants most likely fled the scene to at first plant themselves in Cyprus, Malta, then Sardinia, and later crossed the Atlantic to begin the Mississippi valley giant Adena cultures and then spread even farther away to Catalina Island, the Aleutian Islands, Fiji islands like Rotuma, and many other Pacific islands where their giant graves are still found today.

Well that’s it for today. Hope you enjoyed our musings and theories and let us know what you think. I sometimes need time to allow comments as I have other activities that are more important, and I check every comment on its merits, as I don’t like trolls.

Stay safe. Don’t fall for the dangerous mRNA injections that have already killed thousands of people and injured many other thousands all over the world. You can get a small sample of these thousands of casualties in the British VAERS reports, but they might only form ONE percent of all cases, as it has been statistically proven that perhaps only ONE percent gets eventually reported. Peace Out!

The True Timing of Moses in Egypt, the Exodus, & the Bronze Age Collapse

Before we can analyse the relationship between the conquest of Canaan by the Israelites and the Bronze Age Collapse, we have to be able to first drop the major academic lie that the Exodus is a “Pious Fiction“.

Well, guess what, that restoration of true Bible history was already deftly accomplished by David Rohl, who is the sharp knife who deciphered & proved without doubt the proper Egyptian timeline of the Exodus around 1450 BC at the end of the Middle Bronze Age & the end of the Middle Kingdom brought about  by the Hyksos who took over defenseless Egypt after Israel had left, because the true Exodus Pharaoh DudiMose‘s army.. lay drowned on the bottom of the Red Sea!

Without me pre-digesting this very detailed video, I challenge you to watch this 2 hour amazing presentation by … agnostic… David Rohl – which you can speed up to 1.5 in settings – made by Evangelical ‘Rood Awakening’ whose movie producer – by God’s grace – hardly interrupted Rohl’s magnificent academic presentation.

Rohl proves that Academia – as usual as we have proven in article after article here at Ancient Patriarchs – got it all wrong again; The timings of Joseph, the Famine, Sojourn, Moses, the Exodus, the destruction of Jericho by Joshua, and they also still to this day neglect to recognise the Stone of the Covenant Joshua set up in Migdol Shechem.

The Biblical Exodus… Fairytale or Historical Fact? by David Rohl

And, so, if the Exodus took place around 1450 BC, the destruction of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, etc. would then have happened around 1400 BC, that would be too early for the approximate dating of the Bronze Age Collapse around 1200 BC.

The reason we say this, is because some are now trying to paint the Israelite invasion & destruction of Canaan as one major cause for the Bronze Age Collapse, in a futile effort to blame ALL the world’s misfortune on God & His ‘Chosen People’ of yore, because presumably would be the same people as are causing it today? But the present day so-called “Jews” are not the same Judaeans or let alone the Israelites of yesteryear, no matter how hard some of them are insisting that they are. It has long been proven that their Palestinian victims have more Judaean DNA in their genome than the Khazarian Turks from Southern Russia!

They insinuate that it is all God’s fault for permitting the old Israelites to charge interest – usury – on their neighbours, whereas God never by the wildest stretch of His imagination intended for them, let alone these unrelated Turks, to make it a worldwide policy of extortion today. Neither did God intend the extermination of Israel’s enemies then to become a blueprint for extermination today! God rather intended Israel then to be a  light to the nations and mainly to produce the Messiah, Yeshua! When they had the Romans kill him, they lost it all, their temple, country, status, everything.

To blame the Bronze Age Collapse (BAC) on the Israelites of yore, sounds like Anti-Goddism to me, for ultimately He would be responsible for it. It is a bit far sought IMHO, seeing that the Exodus and the 1200 BC BAC are separated by two centuries! Does it then look like he has a dog in this fight, blaming God for everything? Well it does seem to be the fashion these days. Let me put it this way, GOD is not responsible for what evil people do to others, especially since He came down in the human form & face of God called Jesus who taught us to “Do unto others as ye would have them do unto you!”

Now the detractors may say, “Well, so why did He do it to the Canaanites? Did He want them to exterminate Him?” ANSWER: The old wicked Canaanites that lived there had already tried to exterminate Him and His Love ever-since they settled down there in a land that was not theirs in the first place, for they persecuted righteous Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and kids, unreasonably stealing their very own dug wells with impunity, and even raping their daughter, etc. Not nice. But most of all some of them, especially the Amorites and the several Canaanite giant races were the wicked degenerate offspring of the Nephilim who are taking over the world now! God KNEW! But His very own nation let them into their midst and into their seed, before Nehemiah put a halt to that.. sad to say too late!

But mostly they exterminated God’s Love by their promotion of the  most wicked religion of that day – as well as today – the extermination of their own children in the fires for the glory of their wicked god Molech or Moloch, for whom the Italian government now has set up a statue in the Colosseum in Rome! Wicked! (Will they reap the same fate?)

Now, you could perhaps find fault with God, blaming all the world’s present evils on Him, allowing Adam & Eve to be tempted by the fruit of the ‘Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil’, but isn’t that a little bit far sought? Besides, if He had not allowed one temptation in that perfect Garden of Love, we would’ve been automatons without any Free Choice! And Anthony would not have written his article.

Sure the destruction of many of the Canaanites – not all because even Jesus had Simon the Canaanite as a disciple & even cured a Canaanite woman’s possessed daughter- sure left a vacuum in the land that Israel then filled up with their presence, but whether it caused the BAC? Hmm…

If you have read the other articles here on Ancient Patriarchs, you might have come across the most likely REAL reason for the BAC, namely some REAL Climate Change before the BAC, to be specific the lessening of the rains over North Africa and the Middle East, that caused droughts and famines, and inevitable relocations of the much smaller nations of those days, some 1800 years after the 3000 BC Flood.

The Flood had caused the REAL Ice Age to start by the heating up of the global oceans when the Fountains of the Earth sprang fault lines all over the globe, causing volcanic disasters ever-since. The rise in sea temperatures caused more evaporation of water causing abundant rains which turned into ice caps on land in the Northern hemisphere in Europe, Siberia, North America, etc., while making the Sahara green grazing lands for cows! By 1400 BC they had dried out though.

When the seas had cooled to present levels by 1500-1400 BC the ice caps melted and caused a 125 M. (300 ft.) global sea level rise, sinking Atlantis, Sunda land, Kumari Kandam, Dogger Land, and the Land of Mu here around Taiwan and the Pacific. See the red sunken areas below. And therefore the island people like the Atlanteans, Sundans, Mu-ans, Doggerlanders, etc. had to find new places to live. That’s why the Egyptians  named their attackers the “Sea Peoples”, a fact heavily suppressed by the Materialist Darwinian gatekeepers who prefer to deny Atlantis because ‘humans’ (homo sapiens sapiens!) were till to stupid to cross the oceans, so therefore there could not have been an Atlantis, and Poseidon’s (Sidon) and Neptune’s (Naptuhim Gen. 10) ..10 islands in the Atlantic (wonder why they named it the Atlantic? Hmm..) are of course called ‘myths’ by them. But why then are there identical megaliths across the oceans all over the world.. if they couldn’t cross them in first place?

Look in Our 200 Most Popular Articles!

But the Darwinian historians – if that’s what you can call them? – insist of course that their Ice Ages took place long before the Creation of the Universe some 10.-20. or even 80.000 years BP. (Before Present)

Why? Because they – as Materialists, Naturalists, Marxists, Atheists, etc. – despise and suppress true knowledge of the Flood, because it proves God’s existence via Noah’s foreknowledge of the coming of the Flood, by building an Ark, collecting animals and people to cause them to survive this Flood. How else did he know? And so they dismiss the over 700 global Flood legends and the similar names of Noah, Nu-ah, Nuewa (China), Nun, Nur, Nuh, Noe, Nu-Uh, Nut, Ouranuh or -Noh, etc.

Well, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2020 everybody. I am not too sure though about a happy 2020! It might all crash this year, finally, and that won’t be a very happy time, but rather cause some bad extermination, but don’t blame it on the God of Love. He did His best, by coming down here and humbly dying on the cross for all of our wicked sins, child abuse, child murder, mayhem, wars, genocides, exterminations,  etc., that if we just accept His sacrificing Himself by asking Him to come live in our very own hearts, He will enter our lives and give us the free gift of Eternal Life with Him as His children in a much better Eternal Dimension called the Kingdom of Heaven! I hope I’ll see you there!

Setterfield Rocks the Gravitational Universe Boat With Plasma Theory & Repercussions on History Time of Universe

We should be open to new ideas, otherwise we tie ourselves to old outdated models, scientific traditions, and authoritarian academic powers that should be updated, thrown out, and forced to admit they are obsolete. Does it happen? No! History shows how hard it is to change worldviews, paradigms, settled “science’, academic traditions, and as a result the popular degenerated views of Man in the masses who drink in mainstream media dis-info like water. (Don’t be like ’em!)

I had heard about Barry Setterfield in connection to Dodwells’ research about the 2345 BC catastrophe (not updated yet), which I – due to my ignorance of more facts – wrongly equated with the year of the Flood. Now I know – thanks to this research by a smart fellow – that the actual time of the Flood was around 500 years earlier, around 3000 BC, and 2345 BC may rather be connected to the division of the continents.

But Barry Setterfield is really rocking the boat, as his plasma model view of the “Electric Universe” is slowly pushing out the gravitational model. Not just that, but he also has been injecting new theories of the geological models that are upsetting the conventional Creationist AND the Darwinian time models of the Universe.

But before I get into that aspect I recommend you to watch his 4 videos of the Plasmic Universe below, and if I get time I will post the 3 catastrophe model of geology below in time to come. So come back, unless you go to his channel and watch them for your self.

Ancient Pyramidal Egypt Had an Iron Culture Before the Darwinian “Bronze Age”

This video shows how 4500 years ago the pyramid builders had to have had machinery to cut basalt blocks and the Cairo museum of Antiquity shows pieces of iron cog wheels and iron saws. The periodisation of Stone, Bronze, and Iron Age is ideologically tainted by Darwinians to imply intellectual growth from Primates, to Cavemen, to Hunter Gatherers, to Early Man who was stupid and didn’t have iron and couldn’t get his act together, which is a totally false picture.

As the Darwinians could not fight this battle of wits any longer that there was iron machinery 4-5000 years ago, they changed tactics and infiltrated the Megalithic aficionados like Graham Hancock, making them talk about Man being here on Earth with smart civilisations long before 5000 years ago, like up to 10 or 20.000 years ago, again implying loooong ages and an oooold earth, which is not supported by the Ancients own writings, which you can find plenty of on this history blog.

ALL the ancients believed in a recent global flood and in Creation by God or gods before he Flood and in the Ten Kings that lived before the Flood. Oh the humanity! Why are we are so naive and so easily deceived by the elitist control freaks, also in academia? – Falsely so-called! Enjoy the video, and be educated.

First Geological Evidence for China’s [Da Yu’s] “Great Flood” Uncovered

by Meagan Phelan

Scientists have uncovered the first geological evidence for China’s “Great Flood,” an event marked in legend as the start of China’s first dynasty and the rise of its founding emperor.

The results, reported in the 5 August issue of Science, date the flood at 1920 B.C., several centuries later than suspected. This new timeline suggests that China’s first dynasty, Xia — as well as its founding Emperor Yu, famous for controlling the flood — also had a later start.

“The story of Yu taming the Great Flood is also the story of the beginnings of Chinese civilization,” said co-author David Cohen, assistant professor in the department of anthropology at National Taiwan University. “Yu’s control of the chaotic flood waters brought order to the lands, legend says, separating what would become a civilized Chinese center from the wild peripheries. This defined a people, as well as the social and political order in which they should live. It is central to Chinese identity and known by everyone there, just as Westerners know the story of Noah’s flood.”

Sauropod Dinosaurs Are Described in the Book of Job (Bible)

Job chapter 40 describes “Behemoth” the chief of all of God’s creative works. Could Behemoth be a sauropod dinosaur? This is a very well done video with lots of interesting graphics and logic. Very interesting. Not too religious either, though creationist. MUST WATCH!

The next video is secular history or genesis of Quackademia

WOW! I was WRONG! Were the Pyramids Built Before the Flood?

BECAUSE I WOULD HATE TO MISLEAD PEOPLE, I have to get this out before I write my retractions and corrections of our articles BASED on our presumed Flood Date of 2345 BC, which I now know is wrong!! I will have to correct some of our articles. I am so glad that Nathan Hoffmann found the truth of a 3000 BC Flood! It explains so much better the many mysteries like enough time for the Egyptians to build the pyramids and the Chinese to leave Sumeria!!! Our Chinese dating of 2300 BC for Huang Di and 2.200 BC for Da Yu and the beginning of the Xia dynasty are therefore correct! MUST WATCH!

And please DO  read our writings in the brighter light of this new true revelation on Non-Darwinian history! Please come back soon for a full article on this subject, or an update of this article. I sincerely hope that the dogmatists will not hold on to their dogmas, but will have enough humility to let go! (Hovind? Quayle?) We should not be afraid to fine tune our understanding, and submit to team work. NO  one is smart enough to understand everything perfectly! We ALL need each other and be humble enough to receive correction!

The Russian Primary Chronicle – Laurentian Text – Until 1075 AD by Nestor

Tradition long regarded the original compilation as the work of a monk named Nestor (c. 1056 – c. 1114); hence scholars spoke of Nestor’s Chronicle or of Nestor’s manuscript. His compilation has not survived. Nestor’s many sources included the earlier but now lost Slavonic chronicles; the Byzantine annals of John Malalas, a Greek chronicler, who in 563 produced an 18 book work of intertwined myth and truth; and the Byzantine annals of George Hamartolus, a monk, who tried to adhere strictly to truth, and whose works are the unique contemporary source for the period 813–842. Sources of Nestor’s Chronicle also included byliny (singular bylina), which were traditional East Slavic oral epic narrative poems; Norse sagas; several Greek religious texts; Rus’–Byzantine treaties and oral accounts of Yan Vyshatich and of other military leaders. Nestor worked at the court of Sviatopolk II of Kiev (ruled 1093–1113) and probably shared Sviatopolk’s pro-Scandinavian policies.

The early part of the Chronicle features many anecdotal stories, among them those of the arrival of the three Varangian brothers, the founding of Kiev, the murder of Askold and Dir, ca. 882, the death of Oleg in 912, the “cause” of which was reported foreseen by him, and the thorough vengeance taken by Olga, the wife of Igor, on the Drevlians, who had murdered her husband. Her actions secured Kievan Rus’ from the Drevlians, preventing her from having to marry a Drevlian prince, and allowing her to act as regent until her young son came of age. The account of the labors of Saints Cyril and Methodius among the Slavic peoples also makes a very interesting tale, and to Nestor we owe the story of the summary way in which Vladimir the Great (ruled 980 to 1015) suppressed the worship of Perun and other traditional gods at Kiev.

These are the narratives of bygone years regarding the origin of the land of Rus’, the first princes of Kiev, and from what source the land of Rus’ had its beginning. Let us accordingly begin this narrative. After the flood, the sons of Noah (Shem, Ham, and Japheth) divided the earth among them. To the lot of Shem fell the Orient, and his share extended lengthwise as far as India and breadthwise (i.e., from east to south ) as far as Rhinocurura, including Persia and Bactria, as well as Syria, Media ( which lies beside the Euphrates River), Babylon, Cordyna, Assyria, Mesopotamia, Arabia the Ancient, Elymais, India, Arabia the Mighty, Coelesyria, Commagene, and all Phoenicia. To the lot of Ham fell the southern region, comprising Egypt, Ethiopia facing toward India, the other (2) Ethiopia out of which the red Ethiopian river flows to the eastward, the Thebaid, Libya as far as Cyrene, Marmaris, Syrtis, and other Libya, Numidia, Massyris, and Maurentania over against Cadiz. Among the regions of the Orient, Ham also received Cilicia, Pamphylia, Mysia, Lycaonia, Phrygia, Ca- malia, Lycia, Car’ta, Lydia, the rest of Moesia, Troas, Aeolia, Bithynia, and ancient Phrygia. He likewise acquired the islands of Sardinia, Crete, and Cyprus, and the river Gihon, called the Nile. (3) To the lot of Japheth fell the northern and the western sections, including Media, Albania, Armenia ( both little and great), Cappadocia, Paphlagonia, Galatia, Colchis, Bosporus, Maeotis, Dervis, Sar- matia, Tauria, Scythia, Thrace, Macedonia, Dalmatia, Molossia, Thes- saly, Locris, Pellene ( which is also called the Peloponnese), Arcadia, Epirus, Illyria, the Slavs, Lychnitis and Adriaca, from which the Adri- atic Sea is named. He received also the islands of Britain, Sicily, Eu- boea, Rhodes, Chios, Lesbos, Cythera, Zacynthus, Cephallenia, Ithaca, and Corcyra, as well as a portion of the land of Asia called Ionia, the river Tigris flowing between the Medes and Babylon / and the territory to the north extending as far as the Pontus and including the Danube, the Dniester, and the Carpathian Mountains, which are called Hungarian, and thence even to the Dnieper. (4) He likewise acquired dominion over other rivers, among them the Desna, the Pripet’, the Dvina, the Volkhov, and the Volga, which flows eastward into the portion of Shem. In the share of Japheth lies Rus’, Chud’, and all the gentiles: Merya, Muroma, Ves’, Mordva, Chud’ beyond the portages, Perm’, Pechera, Yam’, Ugra, Litva, Zimegola, Kors’, Let’gola, and Liv\ The Lyakhs, the Prussians, and Chud’ border on the Varangian Sea. The Varangians dwell on the shores of that same sea, and extend to the eastward as far as the portion of Shem. They likewise live to the west beside this sea as far as the land of the English and the French. For the following nations also are a part of the race of Japheth: the Varangians, the Swedes, the Normans, the Gotlanders, the Russes, the English, the Spaniards, the Italians, the Romans, the Germans, the French, the Venetians, the Genoese, and so on. Their homes are situated in the northwest, and adjoin the Hamitic tribes. (5)

Medieval Armenian Sibylline Traditions comprising the “Defloratio Berosi” of Giovanni Nanni

(Johannes Annius) (§§884-891)

884. Go to §885, below, >>, for a translation of the Defloratio Berosi, and to §891, below, >>, for the original Latin. The Defloratio Berosi Chaldaica, to give it its full title, was divided into five books. These, according to Nanni’s preface to the Defloratio (fol. CIVb), were addressed in their original form to the Athenians, and were intended to correct perceived errors in their accounts of ancient history. Berossus is known to have been well received by philosophers in Athens towards the end of his life, after he had moved his residence from Babylon to the Aegean island of Cos. (Pliny, Nat Hist. VII. xxxvii [123].) The Defloratio differed in the above respects from the “Babyloniaka” of Berossus, several excerpts of which have been preserved by ancient authors: the “Babyloniaka” was divided into three books, not five, and was dedicated to Antiochus II Theos, the king of Seleucid Babylon when Berossus was still present in that city, before he moved to Cos and was honored at Athens. This is one of the principal reasons why the Defloratio was rejected in the Renaissance: it was presumed it was claiming to be the “Babyloniaka” of Berossus, and it was known from the surviving fragments of the latter that the presumption was mistaken. However, the Hebrew Sibyl known as the “daughter Berossus” may well have drawn on the writings of her priestly “father,” including the sources of the “Babyloniaka,” to compose “Summary Extracts (Defloratio) from Berosus (Berosi),” — as the title of the work should perhaps be translated, — of relevance to the historical inquiries of the Athenians. It was alleged the Hebrew Sibyl was born in Syria of Manasseh (a Hebrew name) by Papilia, a female related to Alexander of Macedon, and that she migrated subsequently to Cumae in Italy. (Vaticinium Sibyllae, MGH SS 22, p. 376.) The Sibylline hypothesis is reasonable: it harmonizes with what we know otherwise of her work. The chief reasons for classing the Defloratio Berosi as a medieval Sibylline fragment are, therefore, as follows:

Sir Isaac Newton on ancient history

Compiled By Brian Forbes

Sir Isaac Newton, a father of physics, who discovered the math of gravity, was interested in early history. He summarized it by saying that kings were made into gods by their citizens. Kings of cities were deified by their cities, and kings of nations by their nations.

He said that this practice didn’t happen over time from the bottom up, but right away from the top down. He said that the original religion was given by Noah, but Mercury changed all that in honor of Osiris & Isis. He said that the historians of Egypt made the gods more ancient than they really were, and that many were ruling during the reign of king David of Israel.
