So, as we do more research only then can we understand why the world is the way it is. When seeing people talking about the conflict between the Jews, the Muslims and the Christians, you have to take a step back and see how crazy people have gotten because History has been changed to hide the true origin of Christianity's origin to Hinduism. I have seen these ideologies on these perspectives as the Jews scolding the Christians that worship Jesus who is a Jew as God, to the reports of the Jews not being the real Jews nor were they in the land of Israel to begin with. Then comes the Christians conflict against Muslims and then the apparent take over by the Muslims over the west, however, in the end they all point their fingers at each other because all these religions go back to Hinduism. There are Jews waiting for the "Moshiach", then the Christians are waiting for the second coming of Jesus, then the Muslims are waiting for the coming of the Mahdi, and yet everyone is worshiping Dagon who is Saturn.
I want to give credit to the Youtuber "Mind Unveiled", as they did an excellent job on the title "Jesus spoke Arabic and lived in Europe". They broke things down as the European arts were depicted with Arabic and how the Jews were speaking "Arabic" and not Aramaic as people have been told. Here they detailed how Hebrew was created in the early 1900s as a revived language but with Arabic lettering. The language was supposedly revived by Eliezer Ben Yehudi based on this excerpt in the Wiki:
Revival of the Hebrew Language
"To accomplish the task, Ben-Yehuda insisted with the Committee of the Hebrew Language that, to quote the Committee records, "In order to supplement the deficiencies of the Hebrew language, the Committee coins words according to the rules of grammar and linguistic analogy from Semitic roots: Aramaic and especially from Arabic roots."
This details that they had to use "Semitic" language roots to create the Hebrew that is spoken today. This details the Semitic origin of Arabic and that was makes the only thing that is semitic, other than that most of them particularly the Ashkenazi are Germans or a German ethnic group and with them comes the Yiddish language in which was formed in Western Germany around the 9 to 10th century. Yiddish is more towards German (high German) in which I question how such a language been formed in that time period, as Hassidism was said to have been formed in Western Ukraine in the 18 Century. The Ashkenazi was said to have spoken Yiddish in Western Germany, but most of the people had died through the Holocaust. Christianity came before this religion of Judaism, and the latter is an eclectic religion conducted by the Vatican Church and has their connections to Islam. There is a video on Youtube by Dr. Eran Elhaik on "The Origin of Yiddish and Ashkenazic Jews", who breaks down how the "Yiddish" speakers came from Northeastern Turkey, to which have similar names to the Ashkenazi. He states that the Iranian Jewish traders came to Turkey as through the trade routes moved there from Asia to Europe to which made it their center of trade. Then came to the lands of Khazaria near Ukraine and then to Germany. However, even though he states the DNA going back to Northeastern Turkey would actually defeats the purpose on them being converted to Judaism because they have a connection to India, China and Central Asia. They try to see if by Archeological reasons if they came from Israel which is why there is such conflicts on their origin, but based on understanding the features of the people tells you what they actually more resemble towards to. Here the Jewish elders resemble the people from the different parts of India and China and Central Asia (and Brahmins). The long earlobes and the "aquiline" nose are some of the notable traits of the Aryans.
What I find is that the God in the Bible did not make the tribe of Judah Priest but was towards the Levitical tribe "only". Since the Jews can't be priest only then can you see that they were doing their own methods of this created religion by the Vatican Church (Talmudist Doctrine). In the New Testament details Jesus as a "Levite" and not of Judah. The Brahmins are the considered Levites even though they got corrupted by amalgamating the other Gods and culture. Then I can also see that considering they were mixing so much with the other nations that they had to find a way to stick together and why they express the importance of being a community. The Hassidic Community as you can see are shown with red hair, blonde hair, and then those that do have the oriental and Iranian and Turkic look, so many of would look unrecognizable. And though this maybe the case, but it doesn't mean that their religion is the one God gave because it's not, for Christianity actually existed way before as the cult of Dagon. One thing I have an issue is that based on this Judaism and the "Jews", is that they were said to have traveled to Asia and assimilated to the Chinese, the Japanese and amongst the Indians in Cochin India, and yet, don't have the knowledge that the Bible is based on those lands. The six-pointed star originated in India and was never called the star of David, and them wearing the Yamaka just like the Vatican Popish people tells me Judaism was created as a diversion from the real truth and that is the Bible was based on the Aryans that came to Central Asia, China and India. I have to say that they look to the Talmud, their religions and their Rabbis or teachers, but don't ask the Almighty Creator for guidance. Then based in Jordan maxwell's info he states that the Zionist Jews was looking to from Uganda Africa to Texas in America and elsewhere before they came to Palestine. Within this statement also tells me that they weren't reading the Bible even if they are not the real location. There are other tribes or nations like the Ishmaelites, Edomites, Moabites and Ammonites, and based on the relations those people could be any of those categories.
Once I find how Roman Catholicism with the cross symbolism originally came from Hinduism along with Islam and Judaism, then I can break down the lies that we have been told in History. I have deconstructed the best I can on the Gods as Michael the Archangel as Garuda and Shiva as the Dragon God of the Nagas, how the Mythologies of today is merely the Bible and the Hindu Rig Vedas going back to India. What's noted is that Jordan Maxwell detailing the three Abrahamic religions originally going back to Hinduism is 100% true. Regardless of what people say about him he would say that you have to do your own research, which is why in this research, everything has been deconstructed from what I have learned. I'd rather have the people do their own research and see what they come up with, but as for now and I know it's a lot, but this is for everyone to know what's really going on. If you really want to know based on your intentions, then the Almighty Creator will guide you. You may not like what you hear or read, but that is what truth is as it's not something that is beautiful for the most part, but to reveal the dark side, because the latter is where we really find how they are. I may put in my perspectives, but as far as the religions, the gods, the war and the symbolism connect to what Jordan Maxwell's research, Godfrey Higgins research and others, details the same pattern that is shown throughout the world.
Now, based on the last chapter I detail how the Aryans connection to Chinese, Tibetans and Thai and Japanese people, then there are the Aryans that came to the Americas as well. I have to state if there were Black people in the lands of Asia "prior" to the East Modern Asians then where did the people come from? I had put in the notion that India is also Egypt in the Bible as well, and the people came out of India then to Central Asia and China. Then there are the people coming forth from Egypt North Africa as there would be Asian statues in the same manner depicting the Asians (and were considered the Hyksos), and how they were led by the people into those parts of Northern India and Central Asia. Then I also had a lesser-known theory that they came from the area of the Black sea. Considering the Bible detailing the people being around the "Red Sea", then the parallel story could be the "Black Sea" region as this was the popular theory in the Aryan invasion story. Interesting enough, when the Ashkenazi Jews were getting DNA testing, they all would have their origins around the Black sea where the "Khazar Khaganate" property was located (South Russia, Georgia and Azerbaijan), but I heard they would ban DNA testing in Israel or that it is illegal. Considering this to be true, they are already exposed along with the religions.
So, is this where Abraham came from as this region of the area hosted the Turkic Scythian people? Based on information these are the people and their relations to each other based on what I have gathered on the Aryan migration. This will connect the dots on the Persian Empire's expansion from Central Asia to Europe, North Africa and to the Americas. So, before I could understand the connections of Persia, I had to connect to where the Children of Israel had traveled to. This is where the "Aryan" migration theory had been applied, as they came over the Indus river, and then passing "Eastward". I had already established the Japanese, Chinese and Indian connections to the God in the Bible, and what had occurred to the Israelites, but now we are going to detail the Children of Israel that stayed "Westward" from the Indus river.
First, let's detail the people called the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the Half Tribe of Manessah in the Bible:
Deuteronomy 3:12 “And this land, which we possessed at that time, from Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, and half mount Gilead, and the cities thereof, gave I unto the Reubenites and to the Gadites.”
Deuteronomy 3:16 “And unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites I gave from Gilead even unto the river Arnon half the valley, and the border even unto the river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon;”
Deuteronomy 4:43 “Namely, Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain country, of the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead, of the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan, of the Manassites.”
Joshua 13:8 “With whom the Reubenites and the Gadites have received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond Jordan eastward, even as Moses the servant of the LORD gave them;”
2 Kings 10:33 “From Jordan eastward, all the land of Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the Manassites, from Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, even Gilead and Bashan.”
1 Chronicles 5:6 “Beerah his son, whom Tilgathpilneser king of Assyria carried away captive: he was prince of the Reubenites.”
1 Chronicles 12:37 “And on the other side of Jordan, of the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and of the half tribe of Manasseh, with all manner of instruments of war for the battle, an hundred and twenty thousand.”
1 Chronicles 26:32 “And his brethren, men of valour, were two thousand and seven hundred chief fathers, whom king David made rulers over the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, for every matter pertaining to God, and affairs of the king.”
Numbers 32:1 “Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle: and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that, behold, the place was a place for cattle;”
Numbers 32:29 “And Moses said unto them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over Jordan, every man armed to battle, before the LORD, and the land shall be subdued before you; then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession:”
Numbers 32:33 “And Moses gave unto them, even to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and unto half the tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, with the cities thereof in the coasts, even the cities of the country round about.”
Joshua 4:12 “And the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh, passed over armed before the children of Israel, as Moses spake unto them:”
Joshua 13:23 “And the border of the children of Reuben was Jordan, and the border thereof. This was the inheritance of the children of Reuben after their families, the cities and the villages thereof.”
Joshua 20:8 “And on the other side Jordan by Jericho eastward, they assigned Bezer in the wilderness upon the plain out of the tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead out of the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan out of the tribe of Manasseh.”
Joshua 22:10 “And when they came unto the borders of Jordan, that are in the land of Canaan, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh built there an altar by Jordan, a great altar to see to.”
Joshua 22:25 “For the LORD hath made Jordan a border between us and you, ye children of Reuben and children of Gad; ye have no part in the LORD: so shall your children make our children cease from fearing the LORD.”
Joshua 22:32 “And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, and the princes, returned from the children of Reuben, and from the children of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, unto the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them word again.”
Above details the Tartarian lands and it includes the Turkic Mongolian Empire along with the Khazar lands of Eastern Europe. The "Aryan migration" theory details the same route originating from where these Jews came from, as ironically speaking, is the migration of the Aryan people. Considering the people in the Caucasus would look very much like the Persian to Turkic people as they are located in Eastern Europe, then we can pinpoint exactly where the people of Abraham came from. I will also observe the people of Ireland, the Iberian Peninsula and their connections to the Aryans of Persia. Now, interestingly Anatoly Fomenko had theorized how Jerusalem could have been in Moscow in Russia. Within this perspective and considering those Ashkenazi Jews testing their DNA going back to the Black Sea region is another alternative in his case being how History is fake and the Chronological timelines are manipulated. This region would be where Tartaria was said to have been labeled as before the lands was renamed.
Now if you read the Chapter "Legend of the Aryans: The Israelites are the Aryans" I had put up the Article that is titled "Will the real Tabernacle of Moses please stand up" based from the Jewish Article which a man calculates the measurements of the Tabernacle in the Bible, and thus comes to find out that the Tabernacle is a "Yurt". This "solidifies" who the people of Abraham are and how the related Aryan nations came to be. The Mongolian Turkic style house called "Yurts" is the real Tabernacle of Moses.
This is why when learning about the Persian and the Turkic Mongolian people's connection to the Bible, then we have to question on the locations that are addressed in the Bible because everything has been changed. When detailing the hairstyle of the Jews called "Payot" I find this is similar to the hairstyle depicted in Persian art paintings as they would have the same locks on the side of their hair. Then when we look to the far east in Japan, the people that they refer to as the Yayoi would be depicted with locks on their hair as well. Hosea 4:6 details this:
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.”
The Jews "can't" be priest, as this pertains to a specific group called the Levites. Now, based on the real Brahmin culture, (despite the corruption) the Brahmins are the Levites that is addressed in the Bible. This only pertains to the family lineage and not the Jews (everything is corrupted to this day). The Japanese people are the people of Susanoo as they came from West, but unfortunately, they are told that they just sprung out of Japan as they were the original people and that isn't true. These DNA companies won't determine your DNA by the "original" location, but where your Genome is located to the areas more populated. This means that if the Asians migrated from the West somewhere and had pushed the original inhabitants which are those black nations, and had settled, then your DNA will go to the region where your DNA resonates in the population.
When they changed to these religions and forgot their God, then they lose their history. This is what happened to the people called Jews, as they think they are given the false History of them coming from the land of Israel when they are more connected to the Persians and the Turkic Mongols. People would say that the Levant Jews are the real Jews, and yet, this Judaism has no history because the religion in the Bible was supposed to be based on Brahminism. I look at how these Jews dress and wonder why are they in this condition? The people in Thailand, China, Japan and Central Asia to India have their dress codes along with jewelry and ornaments and yet seeing these Jews reduced to wearing rags and wearing black and white clothes details something is very wrong. Plus, they are all mixed with European and African DNA. I have heard about the Ashkenazi Jews taking the babies from the Iraqi Jewish families and raising them as their own without telling where they came from, and how there was a lot of deception on their foundations but based on their identity, it's shown that these Jews are Turkic, Indian and Iranians mixed with European and African. There are these Jews that are just straight European as they are from Ukraine, Russia, and elsewhere, but you see that the other groups have varying features. This is why Jordan Maxwell details the importance of understanding the origin of these religions going back to Hinduism. The issue is finding the real culture that their God gave them and not this mixture of African Gods and culture with the culture of the Aryans.
Did you know that the Bible states that Usury is illegal when used towards their Jewish neighbor, but it's legal to do this to a stranger? Let's see what the Wiki states on the term "Usury".
"Usury is the practice of making loans that are seen as unfairly enriching the lender. The term may be used in a moral sense—condemning taking advantage of others' misfortunes—or in a legal sense, where an interest rate is charged in excess of the maximum rate that is allowed by law. A loan may be considered usurious because of excessive or abusive interest rates or other factors defined by the laws of a state. Someone who practices usury can be called a usurer, but in modern colloquial English may be called a loan shark. In many historical societies including ancient Christian, Jewish, and Islamic societies, usury meant the charging of interest of any kind, and was considered wrong, or was made illegal.[3]During the Sutra period in India (7th to 2nd centuries BC) there were laws prohibiting the highest castes from practicing usury.[4]Similar condemnations are found in religious texts from Buddhism, Judaism (ribbit in Hebrew), Christianity, and Islam (Riba in Arabic).[5]At times, many states from ancient Greece to ancient Rome have outlawed loans with any interest. Though the Roman Empire eventually allowed loans with carefully restricted interest rates, the Catholic Church in medieval Europe, as well as the Reformed Churches, regarded the charging of interest at any rate as sinful (as well as charging a fee for the use of money, such as at a bureau de change).[6]Christian religious prohibitions on usury are predicated upon the belief that charging interest on a loan is a sin."
Etymology:
usury(n.)
c. 1300,usurie, "practice of lending money at interest," later, at excessive rates of interest, from Anglo-French usurie (Old French usure) and directly from Medieval Latin usuria, which is an alteration of Latin usura" payment for the use of money, interest," literally "a usage, use, enjoyment," from usus, from stem of uti (see use(v.)).
It is attested from mid-15c. as "premium paid for the use of money, interest," especially "exorbitant interest."
Now, here are the verses on the use of Usury:
Proverbs 28:8
“He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.”
Psalms 15:5
“He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.”
Leviticus 25:37
“Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor lend him thy victuals for increase.”
Ezekiel 18:8
“He that hath not given forth upon usury, neither hath taken any increase, that hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, hath executed true judgment between man and man,”
Nehemiah 5:7
“Then I consulted with myself, and I rebuked the nobles, and the rulers, and said unto them, Ye exact usury, every one of his brother. And I set a great assembly against them.”
Ezekiel 18:13
“Hath given forth upon usury, and hath taken increase: shall he then live? he shall not live: he hath done all these abominations; he shall surely die; his blood shall be upon him.”
Deuteronomy 23:19 “Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother; usury of money, usury of victuals, usury of anything that is lent upon usury:”
Leviticus 25:36
“Take thou no usury of him, or increase: but fear thy God; that thy brother may live with thee.”
Deuteronomy 23:20
“Unto a stranger thou mayest lend upon usury; but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon usury: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all that thou settest thine hand to in the land whither thou goest to possess it.”
Based on the latter states that the stranger you can practice usury on, but amongst themselves is illegal. The Muslims are the only group that outlawed Usury as this was never supposed to be something used against another stranger.
Now, based from the Documentary called "Redheads: Skeletons in the Cupboard", they had shown the legends of people with red and blonde hair living in New Zealand etc. Until then, they had shown a woman of the Kuai tribe named "Monica Matamua", to which she states she has lineage coming from the lands of "Persia". It is a very interesting Documentary, (in which I would highly recommend) because this details how there were a race of red haired people "prior" to the arrival of the Modern East Asians.
However, based from this Documentary details how Monica would have lineage coming from Peru (to which they state connects to the Red Headed people), and the lands of Persia. But one thing that got my intention, was when she stated their dispersion from the lands of Persia, and if she was an Arab. They detail how this connects to the Exodus from "India", as they had wars against the Dark-Skinned folks (as noted by Elsdon Best). They state that this is the History of the "Tuhoe" people, to which some people do have "red hair" and "blonde hair", and also black hair as well. But does this mean that they were there before the Modern tribes of New Zealand came? Because this situation would be similar to the arrival of the Yayoi Japanese people as they met the (as they state) more different and Ancient Ainu people. The Ainu people and the Jomon are said to be hairier than the Japanese stock and are said to look more "Cacausoid". But here is what Monica Matamua looks like:
Clearly, you can see the "Middle Eastern" look, as she does look Persian. Now, based on her description, I can definitely see the connections. Now, I have stated that Abraham (as the Book "Ireland: Ur of the Chaldees") may have come from the lands of Ireland (or the Iberian Peninsula), to which he would be one of the survivors of the great cataclysm that took place. And based on observing the Basque people of Spain, the Catalonians and the Irish, they would have this particular dance to which details Abraham's lineage doing the same thing. This is where the Jewish, the Central Asian, Palestinian, Saudi Arabian's etc. would have this particular dance as well (and as well the Irish/Scottish instruments). Then from there, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob would definitely be from the West to which leads to the Middle Eastern and East Asian connections.
Clearly, the East Modern Asians weren't there in Asia as of yet, but the Black inhabitants. Based on Skeletons in the Cupboard, they state that the Māori people have this connection to Egypt and those that went to Peru. They state there were two types of Māori, as the Asian ones had met the blonde and red headed Māori, though I think there is a mix of propaganda here as many truths are mixed in with the lies. The woman who did her DNA states they are from Persia, who are the Aryans and these Central Asians connect to the Bible (as she won't know that). They state she has a connection to a certain people migrating out of Egypt and then towards Peru, but this is where the story by Elsdon Best on "The Tuhoe People" and the "Aryan Maori" book states on Agni as the Dragon God Vritra and Indra, and how the people migrated from India to which the Biblical Exodus is based on.
Then based on the Documentary, this is the clue I needed to learn about the other tribes that were on the "Western" side of the Indus river, to which the Kingdom of the Reubenites, Gadites and the Half Tribe of Manasseh was said to reside in. Now, I remember that the Children of Israel are supposed to be there, but also the other nations as well (so I will try not to lump them together). Because clearly in Numbers and Deuteronomy 9, details how the God would destroy the Kingdom of the Giants before and after the Jordan river (Indus River). And based on this info, I would think those are the remnants of the red headed Giants in the lands of Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran etc. to which a God came and destroyed them.
Now, when Monica Matamua of the Kuai tribe had stated of her lineage from Persia, thus showing the lands of the Ancient Persian Empire, then that's when I started to connect the Persian Empire to the Reubenites in the Bible. As you can see, the Persian Empire went all the way from the "Indus River", to which is written down as the "Jordan River" in the Bible. The Bible also states that the Reubenites went East, but actually they went West, as this is where the Aryans immigrated to being led by the God of fire. Then states that the Empire expanded all over Central Asia, Iran, Iraq, Palestine, Egypt and North Africa, Ethiopia (as I will address later on), Turkey, then to Greece and Macedonia. This will connect to the "dispersion" of the Reubenites and the decline of the Empire,
Based from the "Persian" Empire, this is where the Reubenites was supposed to have reside, as the lands of Iran, Afghanistan and Central Asia. However, there are other people that are supposed to have lived in that region like the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Ishmaelites, and the Children of Esau. Then the people that are written down as the "Canaanites" in the Bible, to which the Israelites were fighting against would definitely be the Dravidian and black tribes in that region, but there are these people and will be addressed but everything has to be narrowed down.
Now, the Kingdom of Reuben are really be based from the West side of the Indus River, to which leads to the great Persian Empire. However, nowadays with today's History, they will try to make them separated from the other Kingdoms. I remember reading a book (to which I want to find again) that details the "similarities" between Genghis Khan and King David in the Bible. But what I remember the most was that Genghis Khan would detail "The Mandate of Heaven", while others would quote how he was "sent by God to punish the nations" etc. However, I have also heard and read from these "said" History books that Genghis Khan would drink from the skulls of their enemies, and do other murderous and crazy things. He was said to have fought against Islam, while other state that he converted to Islam. Now, after studying Islam for many years, I had found that many of the Aryans based on the Western parts of China, Central Asia, and Western Asia had converted to Islam. I have to say that just because a person speaks Arabic does not mean that he or she is Arabic, for the Aryans could speak many languages, but that is the problem of today for the Aryans do not recognize each other. Based on J.A. Roger's book on "Sex and Race" Volume 1 details the original Arab speaking people were black skinned, and not the people that are referenced as Arabs nowadays. Arabic is considered one of the "Canaanite" languages that would be spoken by the Aryan people. There was something based on the Cathay language's connection to China, but what is known is that the current Chinese language is Romanized and is not the original language before it was adopted as they came into the land. When Joshua had come across the Jordan River (Indus River), it states that he took twelve stones to be a "marker" as the point where they came across and where the waters resided as they came over.
Joshua Chapter 4 1And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over Jordan, that the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying, 2Take you twelve men out of the people, out of every tribe a man, 3And command ye them, saying, Take you hence out of the midst of Jordan, out of the place where the priests' feet stood firm, twelve stones, and ye shall carry them over with you, and leave them in the lodging place, where ye shall lodge this night."
"4Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared of the children of Israel, out of every tribe a man: 5And Joshua said unto them, Pass over before the ark of the LORD your God into the midst of Jordan, and take ye up every man of you a stone upon his shoulder, according unto the number of the tribes of the children of Israel: 6That this may be a sign among you, that when your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean ye by these stones?"
"7Then ye shall answer them, That the waters of Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it passed over Jordan, the waters of Jordan were cut off: and these stones shall be for a memorial unto the children of Israel for ever. 8And the children of Israel did so as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of Jordan, as the LORD spake unto Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel, and carried them over with them unto the place where they lodged, and laid them down there."
"9And Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests which bare the ark of the covenant stood: and they are there unto this day. 10For the priests which bare the ark stood in the midst of Jordan, until every thing was finished that the LORD commanded Joshua to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua: and the people hasted and passed over. 11And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over, that the ark of the LORD passed over, and the priests, in the presence of the people."
"12And the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh, passed over armed before the children of Israel, as Moses spake unto them: 13About forty thousand prepared for war passed over before the LORD unto battle, to the plains of Jericho. 14On that day the LORD magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they feared him, as they feared Moses, all the days of his life. 15And the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying, 16Command the priests that bear the ark of the testimony, that they come up out of Jordan."
"17Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, Come ye up out of Jordan. 18And it came to pass, when the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD were come up out of the midst of Jordan, and the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up unto the dry land, that the waters of Jordan returned unto their place, and flowed over all his banks, as they did before. 19And the people came up out of Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, in the east border of Jericho. 20And those twelve stones, which they took out of Jordan, did Joshua pitch in Gilgal."
"21And he spake unto the children of Israel, saying, When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean these stones? 22Then ye shall let your children know, saying, Israel came over this Jordan on dry land. 23For the LORD your God dried up the waters of Jordan from before you, until ye were passed over, as the LORD your God did to the Red sea, which he dried up from before us, until we were gone over: 24That all the people of the earth might know the hand of the LORD, that it is mighty: that ye might fear the LORD your God for ever."
Here is a comparison amongst the Turkic Mongolian people throughout America and Asia. Based on the Bible the locations are supposed to be near the regions of Gilgal, to which this day is "Gilgit" Baltistan, "Kashmir", and the regions of Northern India. Now, this is also where the regions of the "Aryans of Ladhak", people of "Chitral", and even Western China to which the Uyghur people are based on. As you can see below there are some with blonde hair, black hair, those that look very Central American, and those that have red hair, to those that have green eyes. Now, it seems there is a connection between the Aryans of Ladhak, the Roma People, the Yezidis, and how they are based on the lands of Central Asia, Northern India and Western China, but also how those people had gone towards the Americas as well. When I went to Turkey and North Cyprus, I had detailed some folks about the Native Americans to them and many of them state the Turkic name for "red skin" and say that they are Turkish people as well.
Then comes the Festival of the Lights that is shown amongst the people in India called "Diwali", then to the Zoroastrians' festival of the lights as well as the Jewish festival of the lights.
Now, based on the red-haired mummies, let's detail the people called the "Tocharians". Here in the Wiki states this:
"The Tocharians, or Tokharians, were speakers of Tocharian languages, Indo-European languages known from around 7600 documents from around 400 to 1200 AD, found on the northern edge of the Tarim Basin (modern Xinjiang, China). The name "Tocharian" was given to these languages in the early 20th century by scholars who identified their speakers with a people known in ancient Greek sources as the Tókharoi (Latin Tochari), who inhabited Bactria from the 2nd century BC."
"This identification is generally considered erroneous, but the name "Tocharian" remains the most common term for the languages and their speakers. Their actual ethnic name is unknown, although they may have referred to themselves as Agni, Kuči and Krorän, or Agniya, Kuchiya as known from Sanskrit texts. Agricultural communities first appeared in the oases of the northern Tarim circa 2000 BC. Some scholars have linked these communities to the Afanasievo culture found earlier (c. 3500–2500 BC) in Siberia, north of the Tarim or Central Asian BMAC culture."
"The earliest Tarim mummies, which may not be connected to the Tocharians, date from c. 1800 BC. By the 2nd century BC, these settlements had developed into city-states, overshadowed by nomadic peoples to the north and Chinese empires to the east. These cities, the largest of which was Kucha, also served as way stations on the branch of the Silk Road that ran along the northern edge of the Taklamakan desert. From the 8th century AD, the Uyghurs – speakers of a Turkic language – settled in the region and founded the Kingdom of Qocho. The peoples of the Tarim city-states intermixed with the Uyghurs, whose Old Uyghur language spread through the region. The Tocharian languages are believed to have become extinct during the 9th century."
"Around the beginning of the 20th century, archaeologists recovered a number of manuscripts from oases in the Tarim Basin written in two closely related but previously unknown Indo-European languages, which were easy to read because they used a close variation of the already deciphered Indian Middle-Brahmi script. These languages were designated in similar fashion by their geographical neighbours: A Buddhist work in Old Turkic (Uighur), included a colophon stating that the text had been translated from Sanskrit via toxrï tyly (Tωγry tyly, "The language of the Togari"). Manichean texts in several languages of neighbouring regions used the expression "the land of the Four Toghar"
(Toγar~Toχar, written Twγr) to designate the area "from Kucha and Karashar to Qocho and Beshbalik."
"Friedrich W. K. Müller was the first to propose a characterization for the newly discovered languages. Müller called the languages "Tocharian" (German Tocharisch), linking this toxrï (Tωγry, "Togari") with the ethnonym Tókharoi (Ancient Greek: Τόχαροι) applied by Strabo to one of the "Scythian" tribes "from the country on the other side of the Iaxartes" that overran the Greco-Bactrian kingdom (present day Afghanistan-Pakistan) in the second half of the 2nd century BC. This term also appears in Indo-Iranian languages (Sanskrit Tushara/Tukhāra, Old Persian tuxāri-, Khotanese ttahvāra), and became the source of the term "Tokharistan" usually referring to 1st millennium Bactria, as well as the Takhar province of Afghanistan."
"The Tókharoi are often identified by modern scholars with the Yuezhi of Chinese historical accounts, who founded the Kushan Empire. Müller's identification became a minority position among scholars when it turned out that the people of Tokharistan (Bactria) spoke Bactrian, an Eastern Iranian language, which is quite distinct from the Tocharian languages. Nevertheless, "Tocharian" remained the standard term for the languages of the Tarim Basin manuscripts and for the people who produced them."
"A few scholars argue that the Yuezhi were originally speakers of Tocharian who later adopted the Bactrian language. The name of Kucha in Tocharian B was Kuśi, with adjectival form kuśiññe. The word may be derived from Proto-Indo-European *keuk "shining, white". The Tocharian B word akeññe may have referred to people of Agni, with a derivation meaning "borderers, marchers". One of the Tocharian A texts has ārśi-käntwā as a name for their own language, so that ārśi may have meant "Agnean", though "monk" is also possible. Tocharian kings apparently gave themselves the title Ñäktemts soy (in Tocharian B), an equivalent of the title Devaputra ("Son of God") of the Kushans."
"Origin:J. P. Mallory and Victor H. Mair argue that the Tarim was first settled by Proto-Tocharian-speakers from the Afanasevo culture to the north, who migrated to the south and occupied the northern and eastern edges of the Tarim Basin. The Afanasevo culture itself resulted from the eastward migration of the Yamnaya culture, originally based in the Pontic steppe north of the Caucasus Mountains. The Afanasevo culture (c. 3500–2500 BC) displays cultural and genetic connections with the Indo-European-associated cultures of the Central Asian steppe yet predates the specifically Indo-Iranian-associated Andronovo culture (c. 2000–900 BC). The early eastward expansion of the Yamnaya culture circa 3300 BC is enough to account for the isolation of the Tocharian languages from Indo-Iranian linguistic innovations like satemization."
"The oldest of the Tarim mummies, bodies preserved by the desert conditions, date from 2000 BC and were found on the eastern edge of the Tarim basin. They seem to be Caucasoid types with light-colored hair. A genetic study of remains from the oldest layer of the Xiaohe Cemetery found that the maternal lineages were a mixture of east and west Eurasian types, while all the paternal lineages were of west Eurasian type. It is unknown whether they are connected with the frescoes painted at Tocharian sites more than two millennia later, which also depict light eyes and hair color."
"Later, groups of nomadic pastoralists moved from the steppe into the grasslands to the north and northeast of the Tarim. They were the ancestors of peoples later known to Chinese authors as the Wusun and Yuezhi. At least some of them spoke Iranian languages, but a minority of scholars suggest that the Yuezhi were Tocharian speakers. During the 1st millennium BC, a further wave of immigrants, the Saka speaking Iranian languages, arrived from the west and settled along the southern rim of the Tarim. They are believed to be the source of Iranian loanwords in Tocharian languages, particularly related to commerce and warfare."
"Most of the Tocharian inscriptions are based on Buddhist monastical texts, which suggests that the Tocharians largely embraced this particular religion. The pre-Buddhist beliefs of the Tocharians are largely unknown, but several Chinese goddesses are similar to the speculated Proto-Indo-European sun goddess and the dawn goddess, which implies that the Chinese influenced the pre-Buddhist beliefs of the Tocharians when they traveled on trade routes which were located in Tocharian territories."
"Tocharian B has a noun swāñco derived from the name of the Proto-Indo-European sun goddess, while Tocharian A has koṃ, a loanword etymologically connected to the Turkic sun goddess Gun Ana. Besides this, they might have also worshipped a lunar deity (meñ-) and an earth one (keṃ-). The murals found in the Tarim Basin, especially those of the Kizil Caves, mostly depict Jataka stories, avadanas, and legends of the Buddha, and are an artistic representation in the tradition of the Hinayana school of the Sarvastivadas."
"When the Chinese Monk Xuanzang visited Kucha in 630 CE, he received the favours of the Tocharian king Suvarnadeva, the son and successor of Suvarnapushpa, whom he described as a believer of Hinayana Buddhism. In the account of his travel to Kucha (屈支国) he stated that "There are about one hundred convents (saṅghārāmas) in this country, with five thousand and more disciples. These belong to the Little Vehicle of the school of the Sarvāstivādas (Shwo-yih-tsai-yu-po). Their doctrine (teaching of Sūtras) and their rules of discipline (principles of the Vinaya) are like those of India, and those who read them use the same (originals)."
Now, based on the description of the Tocharian people, they would show them as having red hair in most of the Asian arts. Now, they state there could be a Turkic-Iranian connections to the People, and to which they would have stemmed from Iran or some place around that region. Now, based on the Biblical perspective, Jacob's two wives came his mother's tribe, and then there are the two maids to which he had children as well. But then I can see how the Israelites had also intermingled with the neighboring tribes and nations, to which some didn't cast nor destroy from the lands.
Then there is Jacob's brother Esau, to which was described as being "red and hairy", while Jacob was smooth skinned. So, could the Esau's people have red hair as well? And thus, lived with the tribes of the Israelites? I have heard stories based on the birth of Genghis khan to having reddish hair and grey eyes as well. If that is the case, then of course, the people would have to be of Eurasian stock, as they are heavily blended with oriental features and reddish/blonde hair from Russia, Eastern Europe in which fits the Turkic Mongolian category. This could be where Jacob's mother's tribe be based on as she told him to get a wife from that region of the world, though based on the "Persian" Empire, this is where the Reubenites was supposed to have reside, as the lands of Iran, Afghanistan and Central Asia. Then there are other people that are supposed to have lived in that region like the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Ishmaelites, Amalekites and the Edomites. Then the people that are written down as the "Canaanites" in the Bible, to which the Israelites were fighting against would definitely be the Dravidian and black tribes in that region to which comes the Aryan invasion story.
Now, based on these excerpts, you should have gotten the term "People of Agni", to which they categorize as "Tocharian B". However, they also state that the people would have connections to Buddhism, and may have another religion based on the Sun Goddess worship. Some information would state that these red-haired people as the people of Agni interesting enough due to the red-haired reference. The Mummies in Western China are said to be of a different origin compared to the Tocharian people. Considering the red-haired Giants that were in the land would detail this significant symbolism and how the Gods would be shown with red hair, but then comes the God with red hair and black skin who is Shiva. However, Siva was considered a negro God with red hair and black skin and is based on the God Osiris as the God of the underworld. Based on "Survive the Jive" would detail the red-haired people inhabiting the Western parts of China, but details that they were also Buddhist. However, the Buddhist were originally black people before the changes to the white counter parts. Then there is the case that they had elongated heads to having six fingers and six toes. This is pretty much where the "Sons of Anak" came to be as they are those Giants and those that are of normal sized humans, that also have those features. Though the red-haired people weren't the only ones to be the Giants of the land, there was also an "Egyptian" that one of David's men had slew.
Now, there are indications on the Guanches as the white inhabitants being native there were also embalming their dead just like the Egyptians. Then we come to the red-haired Egyptians as they also existed as well in those regions of North Africa. I find them to be a separate race with a mysterious origin and will do a thorough deep dive into their probably origins. However, there are things that came from the black nations, as many Historians would try to say the blue-eyed blonde-haired Buddha as an Aryan would point them being the Aryans. Then if that was the case, then are the Giants with the six fingers and toes that the apparent Aryans came against? It states that there were inhabitants in the land prior to the Aryan migrating to those lands, however, the case in the Bible details Agni as the one to have brought the people into the land. The people of Agni as they deemed the Tocharians were only stated because of their red hair, then comes the Deuteronomy 9 as the God of fire states how he fights the Giants in the land for the people. Again, Agni is Shiva who is Mahakala "the Great Black one" who is known for the black pillar called Sivalingam. There wouldn't be any connections to those red-haired people due to this God Siva. Now, they state in the Rig Vedas as Indra having blonde hair, while some descriptions detail him having red hair. Garuda is also shown to have red hair and also the Naga God as well. However, this will be continued in another chapter on the "twin race" theory, but based on the red-haired people, there is much cover up because this would link to them possibly having a different origin.
Now, when learning about the conquest of Joshua in the Bible, I had often thought "What if Joshua in the Bible was really Alexander the Great?" And the reason I state this because, Alexander's Army had come into the lands of Persia and bordered the lands of India at that point of History. When I was learning about the "Aryans of Ladhak", the Article had suggested many times that they could be the people that was a part of his Army (due to the blonde hair and blue eyes etc.), however, many people depict Alexander in different images as if they do not know what he really looks like. Some would show him with blonde hair or red hair, while others detail him to having black hair and a darker complexion. Ignatius Donnelly would mention how the Greeks are the Aryans many times in his book "Atlantis the Antediluvian World", so when observing the Greek and Macedonian People, majority do not have "blonde hair" but have dark hair and olive skin. I have seen their dances, and they dance just like the Palestinians, the Assyrians, the Lebanese, Albanians, and many of them are similar to the Persians and Central Asians. Before I get to comparing their dances, let's observe the different images of "Alexander the Great"....
Now, based from the description above, he is shown with red hair, blonde hair, or dark hair, and of course, there are many bust detailing what Alexander of Macedonia would look like as well. However, when I was observing Alexander the Great's Armor, I started to see a resemblance to the Japanese Armor from which the Samurai would wear. It seems that the "Dark hair", and the sideburns, along with the style of this particular Armor is revealing that Alexander the Great of the "Aryans", might not be what today's History is trying to portray. Let's observe the Armor paddings for the shoulders, the tied knots around the arms and body to which looks like the Samurai. Now, is this a coincidence? There is also similar armor amongst the Mongolian people as well.
Now, it's also important to understand the difference in European description, as there are people that are considered as "Blonde", "Red haired", and "Black", as in having "Black hair". The term "Black" does not mean having Black skin, but having "Black hair", thus connecting to the Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and Asian regions. It's quite clear that "Alexander the Great's" dark haired appearance would fit into the category of the "dark haired" people of Europe and other Middle Eastern people. Here the women's dress code is shown with an Apron with "fringes" to which fits the Levitical style dress in the Bible. Now, let's observe the different looks of the Macedonians, as this is where the Great Alexander was supposed to have been from.
In any case, when we see the Jewish, the Palestinian, the modern Egyptians, the Turkish, Greeks, the men and women would do the "cooing" of the dove. Some of the dances are shown with people lifting their hands, then the Central Asian's dance is very similar to the people of India as well. In this case, all of these people are clearly the seed of Abraham which are based on the Aryans and how they will connect to the Persian lands. After observing the People of Macedonia (to which Alexander was supposed to have come from), I can see how the looks of the people do not fit into the blonde-haired Western European category, but the look of the Middle Eastern people. There are also those that would have the "oriental" eyes, to that of the Central Asian people or Iranian looking as well. There would be some that have the blonde hair, but the majority are shown to have dark hair.
In their dances, the men would dance side by side, and one leading the dance is shown spinning a cloth material. This is very similar to the Kurdish men's dance style, the Palestinian, Assyrian, the Syrian, the Greek, the Albanian, the Jewish, the Saudia Arabian, the Turkish, the Lebanese "Dabke" etc. They are also shown with sashes around the waist and also playing the cornet and the drum just like the other nations in the Middle East. The Roma people came from India and had already established their connections to some of those that was cast out of the land. Nonetheless, their dances are similar to the Jews, and they play the fiddle just like the Jews. It would be a coincidence that the Roma people and the Jews are both outcast of the different societies wherever they went...
Then we have the Arab and Persian speaking nations as they have a relation to the Irish and the Basque, and to which the Scottish bagpipes and the Irish "Uilleann", is probably where the cornets of the Middle East most likely came from.
Let's observe the dance style and similar culture:
Now, what's also interesting is that Alexander the great going and conquering the Persians is shown having and obtaining the same areas of lands of the Persians. However, when looking at the dances of the Greeks and neighboring countries, they dance just like the Palestinians, the Jordanians, Assyrians, to even the Armenians and Albanians having the same style of dance. So, were they influenced by the Persian culture? Or are they related to the Persian people and the Aryan nations? I have heard that the Greeks and Italians were originally blonde haired but then comes the people that look more middle eastern to an admixture of the Turkic and Mongolian people. This is why I had questioned certain accounts on Alexander's life because they state he was tutored by Aristotle; however, Aristotle dressed like those Buddhist Hindus. Based on research, you should know that the toga style dress code came from the culture of India and Africa, and even those Gods were depicted black in origin. The book "The Black Athena" by Martin Bernal details how the Greco-Roman culture came from the Africans, then in this research we go further as this goes back to India and Hinduism. Anyway, based on the dance style of the Greeks and neighboring countries tells me that they are the Persian Aryan peoples that came there because there are many with the Middle Eastern look, and based on the Western point of view, the Eastern Europeans going down to the Caucasus, Greece, Southern Italy and even Spain in certain circumstances, are not the true blonde and red haired people. And even if there are those that have the blonde hair, you will have to look at the features of the people because the skull, nose, mouth, eyes and other facial and body features as an admixture. The term "the True blood and the true bone" is what this is based on. Here Alexander is shown talking to Aristotle in the different versions, but one of these details Aristotle as black skinned while Alexander is oriental looking.
Now, let's observe the story of Gideon's 300 warriors and the 300 warriors of the Greek army (along with the other Greek nations as well). In the Wiki states this of "Battle of Thermopylae":
The Battle of Thermopylae was fought in 480 BCE at Thermopylae between the Achaemenid Persian Empire under Xerxes I and an alliance of Greek city-states led by Sparta under Leonidas I. Lasting over the course of three days, it was one of the most prominent battles of both the second Persian invasion of Greece and the wider Graeco-Persian Wars. The engagement occurred simultaneously with the naval Battle of Artemisium: between July and September during 480 BC. The second Persian invasion under Xerxes I was a delayed response to the failure of the first Persian invasion, which had been initiated by Darius I and ended in 490 BC by an Athenian-led Greek victory at the Battle of Marathon. By 480 BC, a decade after the Persian defeat at Marathon, Xerxes had amassed a massive land and naval force, and subsequently set out to conquer all of Greece. In response, the Athenian politician and general Themistocles proposed that the allied Greeks block the advance of the Persian army at the pass of Thermopylae while simultaneously blocking the Persian navy at the Straits of Artemisium. Around the start of the invasion, a Greek force of approximately 7,000 men-consisting of an estimated 300 Spartans- led by Leonidas marched north to block the pass of Thermopylae. Ancient authors vastly inflated the size of the Persian army, with estimates in the millions, but modern scholars estimate it at between 120,000 and 300,000 soldiers.
They arrived at Thermopylae by late August or early September; the outnumbered Greeks held them off for seven days (including three of direct battle) before their rear-guard was annihilated in one of history's most famous last stands. During two full days of battle, the Greeks blocked the only road by which the massive Persian army could traverse the narrow pass. After the second day, a local resident named Ephialtes revealed to the Persians the existence of a path leading behind the Greek lines. Subsequently, Leonidas, aware that his force was being outflanked by the Persians, dismissed the bulk of the Greek army and remained to guard their retreat along with 300 Spartans and 700 Thespians. It has been reported that others also remained, including up to 900 helots and 400 Thebans. With the exception of the Thebans, most of whom reportedly surrendered, the Greeks fought the Persians to the death.
Themistocles was in command of the Greek naval force at Artemisium when he received news that the Persians had taken the pass at Thermopylae. Since the Greek defensive strategy had required both Thermopylae and Artemisium to be held, the decision was made to withdraw to the island of Salamis. The Persians over ran Boeotia and then captured the evacuated city of Athens. The Greek fleet—seeking a decisive victory over the Persian armada—attacked and defeated the invading force at the Battle of Salamis in late 480 BC. Wary of being trapped in Europe, Xerxes withdrew with much of his army to Asia, reportedly losing many of his troops to starvation and disease while also leaving behind the Persian military commander Mardonius to continue the Achaemenid Empire's Greek campaign. However, the following year saw a Greek army decisively defeat Mardonius and his troops at the Battle of Plataea, ending the second Persian invasion.
Both ancient and modern writers have used the Battle of Thermopylae as a flagship example of the power of an army defending its native soil. The performance of the Greek defenders is also used as an example of the advantages of training, equipment, and use of terrain as force multipliers.
Sources:
The primary source for the Graeco-Persian Wars is the Greek historian Herodotus. The Sicilian historian Diodorus Siculus, writing in the 1st century BC in his Bibliotheca historica, also provides an account of the Graeco-Persian Wars, partially derived from the earlier Greek historian Ephorus. Diodorus is fairly consistent with Herodotus' writings.[16]These wars are also described in less detail by a number of other ancient historians including Plutarch, Ctesias of Cnidus, and are referred to by other authors, as by Aeschylus in The Persians.
Archaeological evidence, such as the Serpent Column (now in the Hippodrome of Constantinople), also supports some of Herodotus' specific reports. George B. Grundy was the first modern historian to do a thorough topographical survey of Thermopylae, and led some modern writers (such as Liddell Hart) to revise their views of certain aspects of the battle. Grundy also explored Plataea and wrote a treatise on that battle.
On the Battle of Thermopylae itself, two principal sources, Herodotus' and Simonides' accounts, survive. Herodotus' account in Book VII of his Histories is such an important source that Paul Cartledge wrote: "we either write a history of Thermopylae with [Herodotus], or not at all".[22]Also surviving is an epitome of the account of Ctesias, by the eighth-century Byzantine Photios, though this is "almost worse than useless", missing key events in the battle such as the betrayal of Ephialtes, and the account of Diodorus Siculus in his Universal History. Diodorus' account seems to have been based on that of Ephorus and contains one significant deviation from Herodotus' account: a supposed night attack against the Persian camp, of which modern scholars have tended to be skeptical.
The city-states of Athens and Eretria had aided the unsuccessful Ionian Revolt against the Persian Empire of Darius Iin 499–494 BC. The Persian Empire was still relatively young and prone to revolts amongst its subject peoples. Darius, moreover, was a usurper and had spent considerable time extinguishing revolts against his rule. The Ionian revolt threatened the integrity of his empire, and Darius thus vowed to punish those involved, especially the Athenians, "since he was sure that [the Ionians] would not go unpunished for their rebellion". Darius also saw the opportunity to expand his empire into the fractious world of Ancient Greece. A preliminary expedition under Mardonius in 492 BC secured the lands approaching Greece, re-conquered Thrace, and forced Macedon to become a client kingdom of Persia.
Darius sent emissaries to all the Greek city-states in 491 BC asking for a gift of "earth and water" as tokens of their submission to him. Having had a demonstration of his power the previous year, the majority of Greek cities duly obliged. In Athens, however, the ambassadors were put on trial and then executed by throwing them in a pit; in Sparta, they were simply thrown down a well. This meant that Sparta was also effectively at war with Persia. However, in order to appease the Persian king somewhat, two Spartans were voluntarily sent to Susa for execution, in atonement for the death of the Persian heralds.
Darius then launched an amphibious expeditionary force under Datis and Artaphernes in 490 BC, which attacked Naxos before receiving the submission of the other Cycladic Islands. It then besieged and destroyed Eretria. Finally, it moved to attack Athens, landing at the bay of Marathon, where it was met by a heavily outnumbered Athenian army. At the ensuing Battle of Marathon, the Athenians won a remarkable victory, which resulted in the withdrawal of the Persian army to Asia.
At this, Darius began raising a huge new army with which to completely subjugate Greece; however, in 486 BC, his Egyptian province revolted, indefinitely postponing any Greek expedition.[27]Darius died while preparing to march on Egypt, and the throne of Persia passed to his son Xerxes I.[36]Xerxes crushed the Egyptian revolt and quickly restarted preparations for the invasion of Greece.[37]No mere expedition, this was to be a full-scale invasion supported by long-term planning, stockpiling, and conscription.[37]Xerxes directed that the Hellespont be bridged to allow his army to cross to Europe, and that a canal be dug across the isthmus of Mount Athos (cutting short the route where a Persian fleet had been destroyed in 492 BC).[38]These were both feats of exceptional ambition beyond any other contemporary state.[38]By early 480 BC, the preparations were complete, and the army which Xerxes had mustered at Sardis marched towards Europe, crossing the Hellespont on two pontoon bridges.[39]According to Herodotus, Xerxes' army was so large that, upon arriving at the banks of the Echeidorus River, his soldiers proceeded to drink it dry. In the face of such imposing numbers, many Greek cities capitulated to the Persian demand for a tribute of earth and water.
The Athenians had also been preparing for war with the Persians since the mid-480s BC, and in 482 BC the decision was taken, under the strategic guidance of the Athenian politician Themistocles, to build a massive fleet of triremes to resist the Persians.[41]However, the Athenians lacked the manpower to fight on both land and sea, requiring reinforcements from other Greek city-states. In 481 BC, Xerxes sent ambassadors around Greece requesting "earth and water" but very deliberately omitting Athens and Sparta.[42]Support thus began to coalesce around these two leading cities. A congress met at Corinth in late autumn of 481 BC,[43]and a confederate alliance of Greek city-states was formed. It had the power to send envoys to request assistance and dispatch troops from the member states to defensive points, after joint consultation. This was remarkable for the disjointed and chaotic Greek world, especially since many of the supposed allies were still technically at war with each other.[44]
The congress met again in the spring of 480 BC. A Thessalian delegation suggested that the Greeks could muster in the narrow Vale of Tempe, on the borders of Thessaly, and thereby block Xerxes' advance.[45]A force of 10,000hopliteswas dispatched to the Vale of Tempe, through which they believed the Persian army would have to pass. However, once there, being warned by Alexander I of Macedon that the vale could be bypassed through Sarantoporo Pass and that Xerxes' army was overwhelming, the Greeks retreated.[46]Shortly afterwards, they received the news that Xerxes had crossed the Hellespont.
Themistocles, therefore, suggested a second strategy to the Greeks: the route to southern Greece (Boeotia, Attica, and the Peloponnesus) would require Xerxes' army to travel through the very narrow pass of Thermopylae, which could easily be blocked by the Greek hoplites, jamming up the overwhelming force of Persians.[47]Furthermore, to prevent the Persians from bypassing Thermopylae by sea, the Athenian and allied navies could block the straits of Artemisium. Congress adopted this dual-pronged strategy.[47]However, in case of Persian breakthrough, the Peloponnesian cities made fall-back plans to defend the Isthmus of Corinth, while the women and children of Athens would evacuate en masse to the Peloponnesian city of Troezen.
The Persian army seems to have made slow progress through Thrace and Macedon. News of the imminent Persian approach eventually reached Greece in August thanks to a Greek spy.[49]At this time of the year, the Spartans, de facto military leaders of the alliance, were celebrating the festival of Carneia. During the Carneia, military activity was forbidden by Spartan law; the Spartans had arrived too late at the Battle of Marathon because of this requirement. It was also the time of the Olympic Games, and therefore the Olympic truce, and thus it would have been doubly sacrilegious for the whole Spartan army to march to war. On this occasion, the ephors decided the urgency was sufficiently great to justify an advance expedition to block the pass, under one of its kings, Leonidas I. Leonidas took with him the 300 men of the royal bodyguard, the Hippeis.[52]This expedition was to try to gather as many other Greek soldiers along the way as possible and to await the arrival of the main Spartan army.[51]
The renowned account of the Battle of Thermopylae, as documented by Herodotus, includes a significant consultation with the Oracle at Delphi. It is said that the Oracle delivered a prophetic message to the Spartans, foretelling the impending conflict:
Hear your fate, O dwellers in Sparta of the wide spaces;
Either your famed, great town must be sacked by Perseus' sons,
Or, if that be not, the whole land of Lacedaemon
Shall mourn the death of a king of the house of Heracles,
For not the strength of lions or of bulls shall hold him,
Strength against strength, for he has the power of Zeus,
And will not be checked till one of these two he has consumed.
— The Oracle at Delphi, in The Histories by Herodotus, translated by Aubrey de Selin court, revised by John Marincola
Herodotus tells us that Leonidas, in line with the prophecy, was convinced he was going to certain death since his forces were not adequate for a victory, and so he selected only Spartans with living sons.[52]
The Spartan force was reinforced en route to Thermopylae by contingents from various cities and numbered more than 7,000 by the time it arrived at the pass.[53]Leonidas chose to camp at, and defend, the "middle gate", the narrowest part of the pass of Thermopylae, where the Phocians had built a defensive wall some time before.[54]News also reached Leonidas, from the nearby city of Trachis, that there was a mountain track that could be used to outflank the pass of Thermopylae. Leonidas stationed 1,000 Phocians on the heights to prevent such a maneuver.
Finally, in mid-August, the Persian army was sighted across the Malian Gulf approaching Thermopylae.[56]With the Persian army's arrival at Thermopylae the Greeks held a council of war.[57]Some Peloponnesians suggested withdrawal to the Isthmus of Corinth and blocking the passage to Peloponnesus.[57]The Phocians and Locrians, whose states were located nearby, became indignant and advised defending Thermopylae and sending for more help. Leonidas calmed the panic and agreed to defend Thermopylae.[57]According to Plutarch, when one of the soldiers complained that, "Because of the arrows of the barbarians it is impossible to see the sun", Leonidas replied, "Won't it be nice, then, if we shall have shade in which to fight them?"[58]Herodotus reports a similar comment, but attributes it to Dienekes.
Xerxes sent a Persian emissary to negotiate with Leonidas. The Greeks were offered their freedom, the title "Friends of the Persian People", and the opportunity to re-settle on land better than that they possessed. When Leonidas refused these terms, the ambassador carried a written message by Xerxes, asking him to "Hand over your arms". Leonidas' famous response to the Persians was "Molṑn labé"(Μολὼν λαβέ – literally, "having come, take [them]", but usually translated as "come and take them"). With the Persian emissary returning empty-handed, battle became inevitable. Xerxes delayed for four days, waiting for the Greeks to disperse, before sending troops to attack them.
Frist day of battle:
On the fifth day after the Persian arrival at Thermopylae and the first day of the battle, Xerxes finally resolved to attack the Greeks. First, he ordered 5,000 archers to shoot a barrage of arrows, but they were ineffective; they shot from at least 100 yards away, according to modern day scholars, and the Greeks' wooden shields (sometimes covered with a very thin layer of bronze) and bronze helmets deflected the arrows.[93]After that, Xerxes sent a force of 10,000MedesandCissiansto take the defenders prisoner and bring them before him. The Persians soon launched a frontal assault, in waves of around 10,000 men, on the Greek position.[62]The Greeks fought in front of the Phocian wall, at the narrowest part of the pass, which enabled them to use as few soldiers as possible.[95][96]Details of the tactics are scant; Diodorus says, "the men stood shoulder to shoulder", and the Greeks were "superior in valour and in the great size of their shields."[97]This probably describes the standard Greek phalanx, in which the men formed a wall of overlapping shields and layered spear points protruding out from the sides of the shields, which would have been highly effective as long as it spanned the width of the pass.[98]The weaker shields, and shorter spears and swords of the Persians prevented them from effectively engaging the Greek hoplites. Herodotus says that the units for each city were kept together; units were rotated in and out of the battle to prevent fatigue, which implies the Greeks had more men than necessary to block the pass. The Greeks killed so many Medes that Xerxes is said to have stood up three times from the seat from which he was watching the battle.[101]According to Ctesias, the first wave was "cut to ribbons", with only two or three Spartans killed in return.[8]
According to Herodotus and Diodorus, Xerxes, having taken the measure of the enemy, threw his best troops into a second assault the same day, the Immortals, an elite corps of 10,000 men. However, the Immortals fared no better than the Medes, and failed to make any headway against the Greeks.[99]The Spartans reportedly used a tactic of feigning retreat, and then turning and killing the enemy troops when they ran after them.
Second day of battle:
On the second day Xerxes again sent in the infantry to attack the pass, "supposing that their enemies, being so few, were now disabled by wounds and could no longer resist."[101]However, the Persians had no more success on the second day than on the first.[101]Xerxes at last stopped the assault and withdrew to his camp, "totally perplexed".[8]
Later that day, however, as Xerxes was pondering what to do next, he received a windfall; a Trachinian named Ephialtes informed him of the mountain path around Thermopylae and offered to guide the Persian army.[102]Ephialtes was motivated by the desire for a reward.[102]For this act, the name "Ephialtes" received a lasting stigma; it came to mean "nightmare" in the Greek language and to symbolize the archetypal traitor in Greek culture. Herodotus reports that Xerxes sent his commander Hydarnes that evening, with the men under his command, the Immortals, to encircle the Greeks via the path. However, he does not say who those men were.[104]The Immortals had been bloodied on the first day, so it is possible that Hydarnes may have been given overall command of an enhanced force including what was left of the Immortals; according to Diodorus, Hydarnes had a force of 20,000 for the mission.[105]The path led from east of the Persian camp along the ridge of Mt. Anopaea behind the cliffs that flanked the pass. It branched, with one path leading to Phocis and the other down to the Malian Gulf at Alpenus, the first town of Locris.
Third day of battle:
At daybreak on the third day, the Phocians guarding the path above Thermopylae became aware of the outflanking Persian column by the rustling of oak leaves. Herodotus says they jumped up and were greatly amazed. Hydarnes was perhaps just as amazed to see them hastily arming themselves as they were to see him and his forces. He feared they were Spartans but was informed by Ephialtes that they were not. The Phocians retreated to a nearby hill to make their stand (assuming the Persians had come to attack them). However, not wishing to be delayed, the Persians merely shot a volley of arrows at them, before bypassing them to continue with their encirclement of the main Greek force.[106]
Learning from a runner that the Phocians had not held the path, Leonidas called a council of war at dawn. According to Diodorus, a Persian called Tyrrhastiadas, a Cymaean by birth, warned the Greeks. Some of the Greeks argued for withdrawal, but Leonidas resolved to stay at the pass with the Spartans.[108]Upon discovering that his army had been encircled, Leonidas told his allies that they could leave if they wanted to. While many of the Greeks took him up on his offer and fled, around 2,000 soldiers stayed behind to fight and die. Knowing that the end was near, the Greeks marched into the open field and met the Persians head-on. Many of the Greek contingents then either chose to withdraw (without orders) or were ordered to leave by Leonidas (Herodotus admits that there is some doubt about which actually happened). The contingent of 700Thespians, led by their general Demophilus, refused to leave and committed themselves to the fight. Also present were the 400 Thebans and probably the helots who had accompanied the Spartans.
Leonidas' actions have been the subject of much discussion. It is commonly stated that the Spartans were obeying the laws of Sparta by not retreating. It has also been proposed that the failure to retreat from Thermopylae gave rise to the notion that Spartans never retreated.[112]It has also been suggested that Leonidas, recalling the words of the Oracle, was committed to sacrificing his life in order to save Sparta. One commonly accepted theory is that Leonidas chose to form a rearguard so that the other Greek contingents could get away. If all the troops had retreated, the open ground beyond the pass would have allowed the Persian cavalry to run the Greeks down. If they had all remained at the pass, they would have been encircled and would eventually have all been killed. By covering the retreat and continuing to block the pass, Leonidas could save more than 3,000 men, who would be able to fight again.
The Thebans have also been the subject of some discussion. Herodotus suggests they were brought to the battle as hostages to ensure the good behavior of Thebes.[52]However, Plutarch had argued that if they were hostages, they would have been sent away with the rest of the Greeks.[112]The likelihood is that these were the Theban "loyalists", who unlike the majority of their fellow citizens, objected to Persian domination.[112]They thus probably came to Thermopylae of their own free will and stayed to the end because they could not return to Thebes if the Persians conquered Boeotia. The Thespians, resolved as they were not to submit to Xerxes, faced the destruction of their city if the Persians took Boeotia. However, this alone does not explain the fact that they remained; the remainder of Thespiae was successfully evacuated before the Persians arrived there. It seems that the Thespians volunteered to remain as a simple act of self-sacrifice, all the more amazing since their contingent represented every single hoplite the city could muster. This seems to have been a particular Thespian trait – on at least two other occasions in later history, a Thespian force would commit itself to a fight to the death.
At dawn, Xerxes made libations, pausing to allow the Immortals sufficient time to descend the mountain, and then began his advance.[96]A Persian force of 10,000 men, comprising light infantry and cavalry, charged at the front of the Greek formation. The Greeks this time sallied forth from the wall to meet the Persians in the wider part of the pass, in an attempt to slaughter as many Persians as they could.[96]They fought with spears, until every spear was shattered, and then switched toxiphē (short swords).[115]In this struggle, Herodotus states that two of Xerxes' brothers fell: Abrocomes and Hyperanthes.[115]Leonidas also died in the assault, shot down by Persian archers, and the two sides fought over his body; the Greeks took possession.[115]As the Immortals approached, the Greeks withdrew and took a stand on a hill behind the wall.[116]The Thebans "moved away from their companions, and with hands upraised, advanced toward the barbarians..." (Rawlinson translation), but a few were slain before their surrender was accepted.[116]The king later had the Theban prisoners branded with the royal mark. Of the remaining defenders, Herodotus says:
Here they defended themselves to the last, those who still had swords using them, and the others resisting with their hands and teeth. Tearing down part of the wall, Xerxes ordered the hill surrounded, and the Persians rained down arrows until every last Greek was dead.[116]In 1939, archaeologist Spyridon Marinatos, excavating at Thermopylae, found large numbers of Persian bronze arrowheads on Kolonos Hill, which changed the identification of the hill on which the Greeks were thought to have died from a smaller one nearer the wall. The pass at Thermopylae was thus opened to the Persian army, according to Herodotus, at the cost to the Persians of up to 20,000 fatalities.[119]The Greek rearguard, meanwhile, was annihilated, with a probable loss of 2,000 men, including those killed on the first two days of battle.[120]Herodotus says, at one point 4,000 Greeks died, but assuming the Phocians guarding the track were not killed during the battle (as Herodotus implies), this would be almost every Greek soldier present (by Herodotus' own estimates), and this number is probably too high.
Aftermath:
After the Persians' departure, the Greeks collected their dead and buried them on the hill. A full 40 years after the battle, Leonidas' bones were returned to Sparta, where he was buried again with full honours; funeral games were held every year in his memory. With Thermopylae now opened to the Persian army, the continuation of the blockade at Artemisium by the Greek fleet became irrelevant. The simultaneous naval Battle of Artemisium had been a tactical stalemate, and the Greek navy was able to retreat in good order to the Saronic Gulf, where it helped to ferry the remaining Athenian citizens to the island of Salamis.
Following Thermopylae, the Persian army proceeded to sack and burn Plataea and Thespiae, the Boeotian cities that had not submitted, before it marched on the now evacuated city of Athens and accomplished the Achaemenid destruction of Athens.[123]Meanwhile, the Greeks (for the most part Peloponnesians) preparing to defend the Isthmus of Corinth, demolished the single road that led through it and built a wall across it.[124]As at Thermopylae, making this an effective strategy required the Greek navy to stage a simultaneous blockade, barring the passage of the Persian navy across the Saronic Gulf, so that troops could not be landed directly on the Peloponnese.[125]However, instead of a mere blockade, Themistocles persuaded the Greeks to seek a decisive victory against the Persian fleet. Luring the Persian navy into the Straits of Salamis, the Greek fleet was able to destroy much of the Persian fleet in the Battle of Salamis, which essentially ended the threat to the Peloponnese.
Fearing the Greeks might attack the bridges across the Hellespont and trap his army in Europe, Xerxes now retreated with much of the Persian army back to Asia,[127]though nearly all of them died of starvation and disease on the return voyage.[128]He left a hand-picked force, under Mardonius, to complete the conquest the following year.[129]However, under pressure from the Athenians, the Peloponnesians eventually agreed to try to force Mardonius to battle, and they marched on Attica.[130]Mardonius retreated to Boeotia to lure the Greeks into open terrain, and the two sides eventually met near the city of Plataea.[130]At the Battle of Plataea, the Greek army won a decisive victory, destroying much of the Persian army and ending the invasion of Greece. Meanwhile, at the near-simultaneous naval Battle of Mycale, they also destroyed much of the remaining Persian fleet, thereby reducing the threat of further invasions.
Thermopylae is one of the most famous battles in European ancient history, repeatedly referenced in ancient, recent, and contemporary culture. In Western culture at least, it is the Greeks who are lauded for their performance in battle.[133]However, within the context of the Persian invasion, Thermopylae was undoubtedly a defeat for the Greeks.[134]It seems clear that the Greek strategy was to hold off the Persians at Thermopylae and Artemisium;[79]whatever they may have intended, it was presumably not their desire to surrender all of Boeotia and Attica to the Persians.[79]The Greek position at Thermopylae, despite being massively outnumbered, was nearly impregnable.[113]If the position had been held for even a little longer, the Persians might have had to retreat for lack of food and water.[80]Thus, despite the heavy losses, forcing the pass was strategically a Persian victory,[113]but the successful retreat of the bulk of the Greek troops was in its own sense a victory as well. The battle itself had shown that even when heavily outnumbered, the Greeks could put up an effective fight against the Persians, and the defeat at Thermopylae had turned Leonidas and the men under his command into martyrs. That boosted the morale of all Greek soldiers in the second Persian invasion.
It is sometimes stated that Thermopylae was a Pyrrhic victory for the Persians (i.e., one in which the victor is as damaged by the battle as the defeated party). However, there is no suggestion by Herodotus that the effect on the Persian forces was that. The idea ignores the fact that the Persians would, in the aftermath of Thermopylae, conquer the majority of Greece,[135]and the fact that they were still fighting in Greece a year later.[136]Alternatively, the argument is sometimes advanced that the last stand at Thermopylae was a successful delaying action that gave the Greek navy time to prepare for the Battle of Salamis.
However, compared to the probable time (about one month) between Thermopylae and Salamis, the time bought was negligible.[137]Furthermore, this idea also neglects the fact that a Greek navy was fighting at Artemisium during the Battle of Thermopylae, incurring losses in the process.[138]George Cawkwell suggests that the gap between Thermopylae and Salamis was caused by Xerxes' systematically reducing Greek opposition in Phocis and Boeotia, and not as a result of the Battle of Thermopylae; thus, as a delaying action, Thermopylae was insignificant compared to Xerxes' own procrastination.[135]Far from labelling Thermopylae as a Pyrrhic victory, modern academic treatises on the Graeco-Persian Wars tend to emphasise the success of Xerxes in breaching the formidable Greek position and the subsequent conquest of the majority of Greece. For instance, Cawkwell states: "he was successful on both land and sea, and the Great Invasion began with a brilliant success. ... Xerxes had every reason to congratulate himself",[139]while Lazenby describes the Greek defeat as "disastrous".[134]
The fame of Thermopylae is thus principally derived not from its effect on the outcome of the war but for the inspirational example it set.
Thermopylae is famous because of the heroism of the doomed rearguard, who, despite facing certain death, remained at the pass.[133]Ever since, the events of Thermopylae have been the source of effusive praise from many sources: "Salamis, Plataea, Mycale and Sicily are the fairest sister-victories which the Sun has ever seen, yet they would never dare to compare their combined glory with the glorious defeat of King Leonidas and his men".[141]A second reason is the example it set of free men, fighting for their country and their freedom:
So almost immediately, contemporary Greeks saw Thermopylae as a critical moral and culture lesson. In universal terms, a small, free people had willingly outfought huge numbers of imperial subjects who advanced under the lash. More specifically, the Western idea that soldiers themselves decide where, how, and against whom they will fight was contrasted against the Eastern notion of despotism and monarchy—freedom proving the stronger idea as the more courageous fighting of the Greeks at Thermopylae, and their later victories at Salamis and Plataea attested.
While this paradigm of "free men" outfighting "slaves" can be seen as a rather sweeping overgeneralization (there are many counter-examples), it is nevertheless true that many commentators have used Thermopylae to illustrate this point. Militarily, although the battle was actually not decisive in the context of the Persian invasion, Thermopylae is of some significance on the basis of the first two days of fighting. The performance of the defenders is used as an example of the advantages of training, equipment, and good use of terrain as force multipliers.
Now, let's see the Biblical story of Gideon and the 300 warriors.
Judges Chapter 6
7And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD because of the Midianites,
23And the LORD said unto him, Peace be unto thee; fear not: thou shalt not die.
36And Gideon said unto God, If thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said,
Judges Chapter 8
13And Gideon the son of Joash returned from battle before the sun was up,
17And he beat down the tower of Penuel, and slew the men of the city.
29And Jerubbaal the son of Joash went and dwelt in his own house.
30And Gideon had threescore and ten sons of his body begotten: for he had many wives.
31And his concubine that was in Shechem, she also bare him a son, whose name he called Abimelech.
Now, based on the story of Gideon and the 300 compared to Leonidas and the 300 would have some similarities though many differences. One is the Midianites, and Amalekites with the children of the east is compared to the Persian Empire, in which people would have the Medes for example in which can somewhat be the Midianites with their armies. Then comes the 300 warriors from Leonidas in which they had help from other tribes like Helots, Thebans and Thespians, so it was never the exact 300. There was said to be some inaccuracies based on the two accounts from Herodotus and Simonides to which how many had fought with the Greeks. Then there was the Oracle of Delphi to which would foresee the death of Leonidas I and why he had selected 300 Spartan warriors with living sons compared to Gideon's army who was selected because they lap the water like a dog. It's also noted that the dog symbolism is based on Hades as this would be a strange way to select the soldiers. Gideon lives and Leonidas I dies in battle against the Persians. Now, going back to the Oracle of Delphi, this was mentioned in Robert Temple's book "The Sirius Mystery" to which he states on Delphi:
Pg 193: "We must note Stecchini's remarks about Delphi as follows :38 The god of Delphi, Apollo, whose name means 'the stone', was identified with an object, the omphalos, 'navel', which has been found. It consisted of an ovoidal stone. . . . The omphalos of Delphi was similar to the object which represented the god Amon in Thebes, the 'navel' of Egypt. In 1966 I presented to the annual meeting of the Archaeological Institute of America a paper in which I maintained that historical accounts, myths, and legends, and some monuments of Delphi, indicate that the oracle was established there by the Pharaohs of the Ethiopian Dynasty. This is the reason why the Greeks portrayed Delphos, the eponymous hero of Delphi, as a Negro."
It's noted that the oracle is the Black stone which they call the Omphalos stone. This is the Emblem of Bel that was mentioned Ignatius Donnelly's "Atlantis the Antediluvian world" as the black conical stone is where the Greeks would have the Oracle of Delphi all going back to India as the Sivalingam. It becomes obvious that there were black Roman citizens and also amongst the Greek people as well, because those Gods wouldn't be any different than the rest of the world. So, this makes me question further as to the actual history of those wars, because the current people of the Greek population look more like the Middle Eastern people to the Turkic and Mongolian nations. I know we are told in History that the Greeks had their conflicts with the Ottoman Empire, but again, somethings don't add up because the Macedonians from where Alexander came from look just like the Persian and Turkic people.
Based on Anatoly Fomenko's research on the mysterious time gap on the Chronological History details how Ancient History was really based on the Medieval times, spefically the "Dark Ages". In fact, everything was changed during the medieval times as the people had made up characters like Homer, Alexander the Great, to even certain Roman and Egyptian Individuals. People are told that the Bible was translated from the Greek and the Aramaic, and that Jesus spoke Aramaic. However, when I came across the research from the YouTuber "Mind unveiled" on Jesus spoke Arabic and lived in Europe, details the Medieval arts having Arabic calligraphy and there were people wearing Turbans visiting Jesus before and after he died on the cross. Another Youtuber that did a good break down in "TherealNotus" in video title "Did Ancient Greece Exist? Re-dating Greece from Homer to the Renaissance", which breaks down the inconsistency of History and notes that other than Fomenko, but even Isaac Newton saw some discrepancies on the Chronology we are given. Did these famous or infamous rulers ever existed? Or were they separated from the people in the Medieval times to the made up ancient past? I've already detailed how Jesus was split into these different figures and how there was already a God on the Cross in the Old Testament.
In the Bible details the Philistines carrying the Ark of God to their lands and placed it upon their God Dagon.
1 Samuel Chapter 5
1And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Ebenezer unto Ashdod.
This God Dagon is Tammuz and the Jesus Christ on the Cross. Now, Jordan maxwell states that the Cross never had a man on it until a certain period of time. Considering the passage above detailing this same event paralleled to the Black Plague that hit Europe, this would mean that those people that were called Jews also existed in Europe as well. They didn't know where the plague came from or started and they just said that it came from the Jews, but certain sources state it came from the East. Here the black plague wouldn't be a coincidence as Medieval Europe had Christianity during that time period to whom the religion is based on the God called Dagon. This is what I had stated on the issue of Corn in the Bible, as the KJV was published in 1611, but this was well after the European travels to the Americas and the distribution of corn to the other parts of the world. Even then the KJV Bible is a "copyrighted" book going back to the Bishop's Bible in 1568.
We already know that the Bible has Hindu elements in the Book, and based from Blavatsky states that the Greek Gods came from India. The Greco Roman attire that the people would wear is just the Buddhist/Hindu Toga that is shown going back to India. Zeus originally had three eyes imitating the Hindu God Shiva, and the certain Roman individuals had practiced the Hindu culture with the bindi on their forehead. The Oracle of Delphi is based on the Black priest Delphos and obviously the Black people were existing in Greece and Rome. Then we don't have to look very far as the Muslims wearing the same attire as they do pilgrimage to Mecca for Hajj or Umra. The Men of Ephesians in Acts 19 is based on the Meccans who were worshiping the Goddess Diana as Allah and the image that fell down from Heaven is the Black stone from Paradise. This details that History is wrong and had set up Jesus' birth and death as the set date of BCE (Before common Era), CE (Common Era), BC (Before Christ) and AD (Anno Domini as after Christ was born).
