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.

Who Was & What Did Sanchuniathon, Phoenicia’s Ancient Historian, Write?

PIC BYBLOS LEBANON – courtesy onemilegrads.blogspot

Sanchuniathon, or Sanchoniathon  (flourished 13th century BC?), ancient Phoenician writer. All information about him is derived from the works of Philo of Byblos (flourished ad 100). Excavations at Ras Shamra (ancient Ugarit) in Syria in 1929 revealed Phoenician documents supporting much of Sanchuniathon’s information on Phoenician mythology and religious beliefs. According to Philo, Sanchuniathon derived the sacred lore from inscriptions on the Ammouneis (i.e., images or pillars of Baal Amon), which stood in Phoenician temples.
  — From Encyclopædia Britannica.

Sanchuniathon (/ˌsæŋkjʊˈnaɪəθɒn/; Ancient Greek: Σαγχουνιάθων Sankhouniáthōn; probably from Phoenician: 𐤎𐤊𐤍𐤉𐤕𐤍, romanized: SKNYTN, Saḵūnyatān, “[the god] Sakon has given”), also known as Sanchoniatho the Berytian, is the Phoenician author of three lost works originally written in the Phoenician language and surviving only in partial paraphrase and summary of a Greek translation by Philo of Byblos, according to the Christian bishop Eusebius. These few fragments comprise the most extended literary source concerning Phoenician religion in either Greek or Latin: Phoenician sources, along with all of Phoenician literature, were lost with the parchment on which they were written. — (From Wicked Pedia)

Sanchuniathon of Berytus (Beirut) or Sakkun-yathon in Phoenician means “the god Sakkun has given.” He was an ancient Phoenician sage, priest and writer. He lived before the Trojan times. Judging from the fragments of the Phoenician History, Sanchuniathon appears to have been a contemporary of Semiramis, the Queen of Assyria, the wife of Ninus, with whom she founded Nineveh 2,000 BC. However, some believe that Sanchuniathon was a contemporary of Gideon 1339 BC without any proof. His book goes back into fabled antiquity. Sanchuniathon, like Vgasa in India, is said to have been a compiler of extremely ancient theogonic and historical documents that had been transmitted to him either by oral tradition or in writing. Sanchuniathon derived the sacred lore from the mystic inscriptions on the nfjawtis (probably hammanim, “sun pillars,” which stood in Phoenician temples. Porphyry of Tyre says that Sanchuniathon wrote a history of the Jews, based on information derived from Hierombal (i.e. Jeruba’al), a priest of the god Jevo (i.e. Yahveh). He dedicated it to Abelbal or Abibal, king of Berytus. The story was thought to be fictional because of its reference to Berytus; however, excavation in Berytus in recent years prove that the city maybe older than Byblos that has cultural tradition to 8,000 [Ed: Darwinian dating!] BC. His Phoenician History may be regarded as one of the most authentic memorials of the events which took place before the Flood. It begins with a legendary cosmogony and relates to how the first two mortals were begotten by the Wind (Spirit) and his wife Baau (Darkness). It refers to the Fall, the production of fire, the invention of huts and clothing, the origin of the arts of agriculture, hunting, fishing and navigation, and the beginnings of human civilization. Sanchuniathon gives a curious account of the descendants of the line of Cain. His history of the descendants of the line of Seth reads like the record in Genesis. (–From Phoenicia.org)

Eusebius says that Philo placed Sanchuniathon’s works into nine books. In the introduction to the first book he makes this preface concerning Sanchuniathon:

Philo: “These things being so, Sanchuniathon, who was a man of much learning and great curiosity, and desirous of knowing the earliest history of all nations from the creation of the world, searched out with great care the history of Taautus, knowing that of all men under the sun Taautus was the first who thought of the invention of letters, and began the writing of records: and he laid the foundation, as it were, of his history, by beginning with him, whom the Egyptians called Thoyth, and the Alexandrians Thoth, translated by the Greeks into Hermes.” 

[Ed. Again notice that all the first tribes & nations held to the notion of a CREATION of the world!]

The following translation is from I. P. Cory’s Ancient Fragments (1828/1832). Cory has provided citations for the passages in Eusebius’ work from which this epitome of Sanchuniathon has been reconstructed.  [Ed. The comments in [] are from yours’ truly, Lu, Ancient Patriarchs’ Editor]

“Live Science” Finds Canaanite DNA in the Lebanese But Replaces Patriarch Canaan With a Darwinist “Stone Age Hunter Gatherer”

Live Science Magazine reported that English archaeologists did indeed discover an overwhelming genetic similarity between the Canaanites of around 1500 BC and modern day Lebanese. They were so surprised! How inane and a-scientific can Darwinians get! We could have told them that fact without an expensive DNA test.

If they had read all the ancient chronicles and historians from that time and onward, they would have easily known and not been surprised at all, that they indeed descended from their patriarch Canaan!, and that not just because “Moses & Joshua wrote about it“, but these ‘scientists’ despise simple Euhemerist explanations!

THE TABLE OF NATIONS

THE TABLE OF NATIONS

Shem

Also Sem. Literal meanings are named or renown (father of the Semitic races – Shemites). The sons of Shem were:

(1) Elam “eternity” (sons were Shushan, Machul and Harmon) – (Elamites, Persians);

(2) Asshur “a step” or “strong” (sons were Mirus and Mokil) – (Assyrians/Northern Iraqis);

(3) Arphaxad “I shall fail” (sons were Shelach, Anar and Ashcol) – (Chaldeans/Southern Iraqis, Hebrews/Israelis/Jews1, Arabians/Bedouins, Moabites/Jordanians/Palestinians, and related groups);

(4) Lud “strife” (sons were Pethor and Bizayon) – (Ludim, Lubim, Ludians, Ludu, Lydians, Chubs, other related groups in Asia Minor and North Africa);

(5) Aram “exalted” (sons were Uz, Chul, Gather and Mash) – (Aramaeans/Syrians, Lebanese, other related groups), and remnant groups throughout Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa.

Two Megalithic Cities Submerged Off Alexandria Egypt so Where is Historical Account of Their Demise?

By James Nienhuis

The astounding submerged ruins of Menouthis and Heraklion on the submerged channel of the extinct branch of the Nile are little known to the public because those who could produce documentaries on it, such as National Geographic and Discovery, certainly know that there is no historical record of the submergence of those cities though the conventional wisdom is that they were submerged because of an earthquake sometime between circa 300 b. c. and 800 a. d.

Some say the ruins are of Canopus, but he was the navigator for the Greek Menelaus circa 1100 b. c. who came there about three hundred years after Menouthis and Heraklion had been consumed by the sea when the Ice Age ended.

Who Named the Planets & Who Decides What to Name Them?

SATURNUS or SATURN

Ancient Patriarchs: It was the Romans whose names for the first known planets after their gods were the ones that stuck. And who were these gods? Venus, Mars, Jupiter (Yapheth son of Noah), Saturn or Saturnus (after whom also saturday was named) was a kings’ title for many of the old kings and deities in Egypt and Greece, like Cronus or Kronus, which was the Greek name for Ham the son of Noah, and who was the major religious influence after the Flood drawing away many nations after  himself into paganism away from the worship of the Creator of Noah (Ouranos) his father.  And why? Because of a family incident where Ham disrespectfully ogled the nakedness of his father which caused the original split in our original human family.

Who decides what to name the planets? And who named them?

The World as We Know It

A Description of Early Man

It is a known fact that the earth is 4.5 billion years old.  We’re not allowed to question it anymore.  Everyone who knows their science knows with certainty that the earth is 4.5 billion years old. In fact, they say it so often that people have stopped using “billions of years” and started abbreviating it as byr. A billion years is a long time.

Can you believe that of the 4.5 byrs of Earth’s history, man has only been man for 200,000 years? It’s true. Don’t scorn! Scientists, as I write this, are all (nearly) unanimous that man has been around since 200,000 years ago. It’s verifiable, experimental, solid, unchanging science! Before about four thousand years ago, our ancestors had trouble being modern. People nearly as smart as you, living nearly as long as you, didn’t build the structures we do. They didn’t know how to plant crops. They didn’t travel beyond a few miles from home. They even had a hard time creating watercraft sufficient to carry them beyond the sight of land. You may not realize this, but once I say it, you will. Two hundred thousand years is not only a long time, it’s a very, very long time.

If you are reading this, you more than likely are of childbearing age. A human generation can be as short as 10 years, but if we are being generous, we would double it. Humans have been around, doing their thing, populating the earth, and figuring out what makes us alive for literally 10,000 generations. That means, just in the human line, you have ten thousand mothers and ten thousand fathers.

Jewish Scientists Establish Global Climate Change at Time of Exodus 1200 BC End of Ice Age!

By James Nienhuis

It’s great that Jewish scientists are establishing the Global Climate Change at the time of the Exodus. Call it righteous that Jewish scholars, ‘though uniformitarian, are establishing that climate change rocked the world at the time of the Exodus! Scientists, such as Harvey Weiss, Israel Finkelstein, and Dafna Langgut, are demonstrating by the physical evidence in the region that rainfall was much greater in the Middle East before the Exodus.

Tel Aviv Professor Israel Finkelstein Says Entire Bronze Age World Crumbled At Time of Exodus

Israel Finkelstein says that the entire Bronze Age world crumbled circa 1200 B.C., evident by the transition of pollen in Galilee lake sediment cores from oak, pine, and carob to pollen of semi-desert types of vegetation, that period of desiccation (because of reduced rainfall) over several centuries.

1600 BC Most Correct Ancient History Book ‘Genesis’ by Hebrew Moses of Egypt!

by Lu Paradise • December 21, 2014 • 137 views

The offspring of ‘Abram’ (Arabs & Jews) were descendants of the seafaring Pelasgians (sons of Peleg, brother of Joktan) who were all Heb(e)rew descendants of (H)Eber, son of Salah, son of Arphaxad, son of Shem, the son of Noah. The Exodus took place around 1450 1650 BC., when the Ice Age Climate changed (due to cooling of the hot Post Flood oceans) and lack of rain began to desertify North Africa, Meso America, and Silk Road countries, etc.

The Abrahamic Hebrew sons of Jacob were called ‘Habiri’ or ‘Habiru’ by Sumerian, Akkadian, Hittite, Mitanni, and Ugaritic sources and/or ‘Apiru’ (Egyptian: ˁpr.w) in Egypt, the land of Cham! Moses was also Apiru, although adopted & raised by the Pharaoh’s daughter, & educated at the Pharaonic court into “all the wisdom of Egypt.”

As a potential Pharaoh Moses surely received an extensive education in Egyptian science, history, military and priesthood training, mystery religion, etc.  Thus Moses was not just any old ignorant Egyptian from Hebrew descent, but because he, being Egyptian trained, also obtained the original Babylonian historical records via his Hebrew Abrahamic relatives, Moses could write a most detailed Middle Eastern Ancient History & far more accurate Flood account than all other 700 global flood legends in his ‘Book of Genesis’! Also because many of the Flood survivors and their offspring were alive until Abraham’s time and beyond! The main post-Flood characters in Moses’ Book were all relatives as seen in this diagram! (Chapters 6-11 right below! You’ll be amazed!)

Post-Deluge Earth’s Global Re-Population Record Re-Evaluated & Vindicated

Global Repopulation – by J.Nienhuis

Exposition One:  As the ice age snowpacks were building in the aftermath of Noah’s Flood and after the Tower of Babel confusion of the languages (probably from Hebrew), about five hundred miles southeast from the landing place of Noah’s Ark in eastern Turkey, the clans listed in Genesis 10 began to spread out across the globe, many by sea, for instance offspring of Canaan, his son Sidon among them, known to many as the sea god Posidon, who with his son Atlas sailed west to the Sierra Morena mountains of southern Spain, the richest mining district in the ancient world, the lifeblood for the great wealth of the Atlantean empire. 

The remnant of that empire was later known at the time of the book of Judges circa 1300 B.C. as Tarshish, with the legendary “Ships of Tarshish,” he who had been a son of Javan, the Greek Iawan having been name-sake of the Ionians, Javan who was a son of Japheth, the “mythological” god Jupiter.
