Hiram Abiff - Introduction 4

Those of you who are Masons and have not discovered this ancient ritual written down by Thoth, will find that passwords are necessary and there are seven levels to pass through before the king reaches his goal. The seven levels are representative of the seven major planets in our solar system. These are sometimes refered to as the 'seven levels of Heaven'. The Eight Heaven, according to the Nag Hammidi Scrolls, is where the Christ is said to reside. The king had to know the name of the god who guarded the passageway to the Heaven in order to proceed through it. A 'password' was necessary to enter. There is a 'stewart' who guides the king on his journey. This journey is only possible if the King has lived his life without sin. His deeds are weighed against a feather in the Hall of Judgement (Maat/Justice) of the Egyptian Gods. More details of this ceremony is on Widow's Son 1.

"A name was in a way one's whole being. Actually, this is a very old notion which predates the Hellenistic age and stems from the religion of the Ancient Egyptians.. .Knowing the name of the Aeon didn't just give a person knowledge of him but also power over him so that the Aeon no longer became an obstacle in the souls' return-voyage to The Good."
- Maged S. Mikhail, "The Gnostics, A Survey of Gnostic Beliefs and Gnostic-Christian Ties" Legend has it that King Solomon knew the names of demons and with this information he could control them and make them do work.

The Forbidden deeds are described in the Egyptian Book of the Dead and a spell is used to avoid anything else blocking the progression to the next level of travel. Spell 178 of the Book of the Dead describes death as 'the night of going forth to life', emphasising that it was viewed as a transitional state, leading to the afterlife. We see the 'forbidden deeds' as being the pre - 10 Commandments that were given to Moses. We also see them in Deuteronomy in detail, but they are also part of the Egyptian Book of the Dead.

We also have the Nash Papyrus which has been dated to the second century B.C. It was discovered in Egypt by W. L. Nash and first described by Stanley A. Cook in 1903.

The papyrus was by far the oldest Hebrew manuscript fragment known at that time, before the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in 1947.

Twenty four lines long, with a few letters missing at each edge, the papyrus contains the Ten Commandments in Hebrew, followed by the start of the Shema Yisrael prayer. The text of the Ten Commandments combines parts of the version from Exodus 20:2-17 with parts from Deuteronomy 5:6-21. A curiosity is its omission of the phrase "house of bondage", used in both versions, about Egypt - perhaps a reflection of where the papyrus was composed.

The Book of Enoch describes the fall of the Watchers, the angels who fathered the Nephilim (cf. the bene Elohim, Genesis 6:1-2). The fallen angels went to Enoch and asked him to intercede on their behalf with God after he declared to them their doom. The remainder of the book describes Enoch's visit to Heaven in the form of a vision, and his revelations.

The book contains descriptions of the movement of heavenly bodies (in connection with Enoch's trip to Heaven), and some parts of the book have been speculated about as containing instructions for the construction of a solar declinometer (the Uriel's machine theory).

The most important part of the text is the first section of the book which depicts the interaction of the fallen angels with mankind; Sźmīazāz compels the other 199 fallen angels or 'Sons of God', to take human wives to "beget us children".

This is 'The Origional Sin'. It has nothing to do with Adam and Eve.

Genesis 6..And the 'Watchers' decided to take human wives...

"And Semjāzā, who was their leader, said unto them: 'I fear ye will not indeed agree to do this deed, and I alone shall have to pay the penalty of a great sin.' And they all answered him and said: 'Let us all swear an oath, and all bind ourselves by mutual imprecations not to abandon this plan but to do this thing.'. Then sware they all together and bound themselves by mutual imprecations upon it. And they were in all two hundred; who descended in the days of Jared on the summit of Mount Hermon, and they called it Mount Hermon, because they had sworn and bound themselves by mutual imprecations upon it."

This results in the creation of the Nephilim (Genesis 6:4) or Anakim/Anak (Giants) as they are described in the book:
"And they became pregnant, and they bare great giants, whose height was three thousand ells [the Ethiopian text gives 300 cubits (135 meters), which is probably a corruption of 30 cubits (13.5 meters)]: Who consumed all the acquisitions of men. And when men could no longer sustain them, the giants turned against them and devoured mankind. And they began to sin against birds, and beasts, and reptiles, and fish, and to devour one another's flesh, and drink the blood."

It also discusses the teaching of humans by the fallen angels - chiefly Azāzźl:
"And Azāzźl taught men to make swords, and knives, and shields, and breastplates, and made known to them the metals of the earth and the art of working them, and bracelets, and ornaments, and the use of antimony, and the beautifying of the eyelids, and all kinds of costly stones, and all colouring tinctures. And there arose much godlessness, and they committed fornication, and they were led astray, and became corrupt in all their ways. Semjāzā taught enchantments, and root-cuttings, Armārōs the resolving of enchantments, Barāqījāl, taught astrology, Kōkabźl the constellations, Ezźqźźl the knowledge of the clouds, Araqiźl the signs of the earth, Shamsiźl the signs of the sun, and Sariźl the course of the moon."

Michael, Uriel, Raphael, and Gabriel appeal to God to judge the inhabitants of the world and the fallen angels. Uriel is then sent by God to tell Noah of the coming apocalypse and what he needs to do.

What the Books do not explain is that the Knowledge that was taught to man could be used to benefit and help mankind. Since we have Noah, Ham, Japheth, Tubal Cain, Nimrod, Lamech, ect., who knew the skills, passing these skills on to their brothers and sons with a positive purpose in mind, the skills became secret so they could not be used for corrupt purposes. The Book also does not explain that the the 'other' Sons of God, the Anak or Anunnaki who were not corrupted continued to help mankind. These Annunaki were considered gods to the Sumerians. In the Sumerian language, the term Annunaki meant "from heaven who came to earth" The Watchers were known as the Annunaki, or the heroes of old, men of reknown as mentioned in Genesis 6:4.

By the time of the Templars, Secret Knowledge was also passed between brothers by way of a deck of cards. The church outlawed these too in an effort to supress any Masonic teachings. This card deck became known as the Tarot Deck. The secret double meanings of these cards is on this special page. Fortune tellers now use these cards to perdict the future with close to accurate results. Author E. Waite, a Freemason took it upon himself to produce a deck that more closely followed Knight traditions and the Grail legend.

The documentary hypothesis claims that the Jahwist and Elohist texts had two different meanings. (In the first source God's name is always presented as Elohim - Hebrew for God, or Power) were first combined by a redactor, producing a text referred to simply as JE, in such a way that it now read that God dictated the Covenant Code, which was written onto stone, Moses subsequently smashing these stones at the incident of the golden calf, and thus having to go back and get a new set, with a set of commandments, the Ritual Decalogue, resembling the first. Under this reconstruction another writer, the Priestly source, later took offence at parts of JE, and rewrote it, dropping the story of the golden calf, and replacing the Ritual Decalogue with a new (ethical) decalogue initially based on it, but taking commandments from elsewhere as well, and replacing the Covenant Code with a vast new law code, placed after the Decalogue for narrative reasons, most of which forms the greater part of the mitzvot in Leviticus.

It is notable that even though the ancient practice of sacrificing firstborn children to God by Moloch had been banned, the belief that the firstborn belonged to Yahweh persisted, and thus still required that they be redeemed. The cost involved in redeeming a son is given repeatedly in the Priestly source, but that of an ass is given in the commandments, indicating that it had become fixed by this point. This is essentially where the story of Jacob almost sacrificing Issac came from.

The original dead man in the Masonic 3rd degree ritual was actually Noah. We find Noah in Genesis 10:23 being covered by his sons Shem and Japheth. Then Noah curses Canaan, the son of Ham for seeing him in his nakedness. Could this story be a medifore for Ham finding out a secret? We have combined several sources for uncovering the secret of this medifore. The legend goes all the way back to Seth, the third son of Adam, when he writes the secrets of the Gods on two pillers. One that will not burn and the other that will not sink in water. Noah was said to have found these pillers and passed the secrets on to his sons. The secrets were then passed on to every king and High Priest of the chosen people of God including King Solomon.

We think King Solomon, Moses, Noah, Ham, Nimrod, Enoch, Seth, and all the way back to Adam knew the secrets. However there is a sinister force at work here much like the witch king in Lord of the Rings. There is an underling mystery that is just now coming into the light. It is an age old secret that was only known by the kings and priests of a royal family including Jesus.

The 'Material World' in which we live is controlled by a 'material god'. Some of us find this impossible to believe. However if we consider that the true God, a God of love, forgiveness and kindness has nothing to do with this world and is unknown and unnamed in this world, we come closer to knowing him. Actually we are part of him as Jesus was but for most of us this is very difficult to understand and accept. Gnostic teaching and philosophy is the path by which we reach him. Believe it or not, this is what Jesus taught. If you ever woundered where Jesus was for the first 30 years of his life, we have the answer. Why do you think the church surpresses this information?

In the traditional bible story, Noah (the Sumerian Ziusudra) then tells Shem that he is to 'fear and obey' the Lord. But this is also described in the Nag Hammidi scrolls with a much more sinister aspect. Noah dies. Ham, Cush and Nimrod then become builders of great cities, like Nineveh, Babylon, Erech, Akkad and Calneh in the land of 'Shinar'. This Shinar in modern times is called Summer. It was 'The Land Between Two Rivers' and it is now Iraq and Iran.

This land was called Mesopotamia and it is the land where the garden of Eden was located. That garden is now thought to have been in Iraq. Nimrod's city was in a land once called Assyria. It was the first civilized culture after the flood. The surprising rise of this civilization has puzzled scholars for hundreds of years. The history books tell the rest of the story. see the map..Remember the name 'Ediru' seen in the lower right side of the map. Babylonian (Map)

This is where biblical characters come to life and their deeds, misfortunes, and calamities are told, not just in the Bible, but in an ancient text called the Enuma Elish. The Enuma Elish is a 5000 year old set of clay tablets found in the city of Nineveh in 1876. This text reveals stories that were supressed from the bible and go all the way back to Adam. We focus on these stories and incorporate them as the actual historical account from before and after the flood. Because they connect so precisely with the bible they cannot be dismissed as myth.

It is evident that Noah and his sons preserved, not only the general history of the primitive world, but as much of its acquired knowledge as could be useful to themselves and their posterity. This they had ample opportunity of doing; for the flood, in regard to Noah, was no sudden and unforeseen event. And it was done; for Moses records the antedeluvian inventors of many arts which had been preserved to his own time.

The book of Job delineates an age long prior to that of Moses, the interlocutors, in this most ancient book, either expressly mention or clearly allude to every science and every laudible art which has usually been placed to the account of the Babylonians, Egyptians, Phoenicians or Indians. And it is remarkable that Job and his friends ascribe their whole stock of knowledge, whether of religion and morality, of the works of nature, or of civil arts.

"...The author of a well researched academic study [The Origins of Freemasonry]...went so far as to say that, in their early days, the Masons had regarded Thoth as their patron." Since Thoth was known far and wide he has a Summerian name also. That name was Enoch.

Enoch, according to the secret books, knew about the coming flood. He knew because one God told him. In the historical view in the time of Adam there was more than one god. The Sumerian records show there to be no less than 8. These gods fought amoung themselves each one claiming lands and the rule of the people. These gods had many subordinate gods or sons and daughters who helped teach the people farming and animal husbandry. They also taught sciences such as reading and writing, music, weaving, metal craft, ect. Some of the gods became corrupt. These other 'gods' then committed a great sin by mating with earthly women, or more accurately 'the women of the tribes of Cain'.

The offspring of this union became corrupted and evil. They are called the Nephilim in the bible. After many years of this evil and the corruption of mankind the 'council of gods' decided not to tell anyone that a great disaster was coming. This was something they could not prevent. Enoch described it as 'mountians' raining down from Heaven. Today they are known as astroids. Just as we are able to see astroids far out in space now, God warned Enoch many years before it arrived.

We also direct your attention to Deuteronomy 29:1; Moses says, "Your eyes have seen all that the Lord did in Egypt to pharoah, to all his officials and to all his lands." The pharoah in this instance was Apepi II or Aphōphis I at Avaris (1581-1541 BC). Deuteronomy 29:26, "They went off and worshipped other gods and bowed down to them, gods they did not know, gods he had not given to them". Deuteronomy 29:28 "In furious anger and great wrath he brought on it all the curses written in this book - The Lord uprooted them from their land and thrust them into another land, as it is now."

This acknowledges that 'in fact' there were 'other gods'! We as Christians, Jews or Muslims have been programed to ignore this information. Then who is the 'US' in Genesis 1:26, 3:22 and 11:7? Under the 'one god' Jewish religious tradition, which we adopted as our own, we worship a vengeful, deceitful, angry god who punished the Jews over and over. The kind loving God we don't know wouldn't treat us this way because we are his children!

About Abraham:The Land around Shechem was infact Egyptian territory but the inhabitants were resisting Egyptian rule. One passage in Genesis 33 has Jacob legally purchasing the location Shechem for the capital of the northern kingdom of Israel. Genesis 34 has Jacob's sons killing all of the men of Shechem (Shekem) by a deceitful trick. So in essence they murdered everybody and took the land!

The Armana Letters (link on Widows Son 1) confirm the land belonged to the real Egyptians. An inscription on the Stele of Khu-Sebek, a noble in the court of Sesotris III (c. 1880-1840 BC) also confirms Egyptian ownership. Joseph, also known as 'Yuya' was buried at Avaris. His coffin, seen on Widows Son 2 , is of particular interest. The god the Hyksos (Israelites) worshiped is discussed on Widows Son page 1 also. Then see Deuteronomy 31:16 where Moses says, "You are going to rest with your fathers, and these people will soon prostitute themselves to the foreign gods of the land they are entering." The bible refers to this god as Baal or as the Hyksos knew him, Seth, Set or Sutekh. The worship of this god began in Egypt under Hyksos rule 400 years before they were forced to leave but it probably begun before that, carried forward by Abraham from the Babylonian city of Ur. Abrahams Father worshiped Enlil, the 'material god' of Babylon. Abraham is a descendent of Shem. Enlil's good brother Enki was worshiped by Noah's sons, Ham and Cush. The Egyptian God Osiris had an evil brother named Set(h). Seth is actually connected to Noah's son Shem with an Egyptian name.

The implications of this are huge. The Hyksos had overrun Egypt and had taken control of a large region including the modern day Tell el Dab'a and Gaza and the sacred city of 'On'. The true Egyptian Kings were forced to leave so they went 400 miles to the South to a city we now know as Thebes - the modern day Karnak.

With Seqenenre's murder the name or the secret word was lost. The heirs of the king, namely Ahmose - Seqenenre's youngest son devised a new word, a substitute that was to be used until the real secret word could be rediscovered. As the story continues, Moses was given this word by the God himself.
Moses, Aaron, Joshua and the sons of Jacob lived in Egypt.

In The Hiram Key this is connected with a young priest from the Hyksos 15th dynasty, (Thebian 17th dynasty) who conspired to help confront the True Egyptian King, Seqenenre to try and get him to reveal the secret word. Ahmoses' declaration that they did not get what they wanted and the details of King Seqenenre's murder are on the Widow's son series, page 2. Here we reveal the 2 ruling dynasties that were in place in Egypt at the same time. That means there were two 'pharoah's'. One at Thebes, one at Avaris. However, only Seqenenre was given the title, "King". The cronology timeline is presented by Kelly L. Ross PhD. Avaris wasn't renamed pi-Ramesse until the 19th dynasty. Another article sited is Seqenenre Tao II and Ahhotep I

In the 3rd degree Masonic ritual, the hero Hiram is wounded in this manner; a violent blow to the Master's forehead, a violent blow on the left temple with a level and a violent blow full in the center of the forehead with a heavy stone maul. It just so happens that the mummy of Seqenenre Tao II has these same wounds described by forensic pathologists to his head. see Widow's son 3 A link is provided to the account given by pathologists from the Journal of Clinical Pathology.

No connection of Hiram to an Egyptian King ever surfaced until the The Hiram Key came out. Some Masons don't believe it to be true. We think the ritual was changed because Noah just died of old age. On the other hand, Seqenenre was most likely murdered and the Egyptian ritual of 'The raising of the dead' was probably used at his funeral not to mention the matching wounds to his head which connect to the three blows inflicted by the ruffians. The mummy of Seqenenre was somewhat decomposed due to his wife and sons immediately waging war and looking for the killers. If the killers took out the 2 high priests there would have been no one left who knew the ritual. Then we have the punishment of the Egyptians on the Hebrews right there in the bible and possibly the hunting down and punishment of the murders.

For those of you who know the ritual; It appears that from the 3rd to the 20th degree there is a succession of time from the murder of Hiram to the building of the second temple in Jerusalem. These degrees were rewritten when the hero who died became Hiram Abiff instead of Noah (explained on the Widow's Son page). The George Washington degree was even added sometime after 1776 apparently. The 19th to the 29th are called HISTORICAL AND PHILOSOPHICAL DEGREES. It seems to us these were not changed and they may reveal a truth as yet unexplained. (a link to the ceremonies and the focus of the rest of the degrees is provided a little latter on).

From the focus of the 23rd, 24th, 25th, 26th, and 28th degrees of the Scottish Rite; These are the layouts of the ceremony.

23rd; This degree, connected with the one succeeding it, is based on the perfection and purity of the Hebrew Tabernacle, or Sanctuary. "Unholy sacriledge and presumptions interference with sacred ceremonies are forbidden and punished; and only those with hearts divested of all impurity, are commended in the performance of Holy rites."

What is Aaron doing here? Who led the twelve tribes out of Egypt? This seems to represent something that happened while Aaron, Moses and the tribes are still in Egypt.

The rest of the focus of the degrees that we mentioned all have something to do with Egypt or ancient teachings.

The important words are; The 'other gods', High Priest, initiation, Sphinx, Hermes, Tetragrammaton, and Osiris. Moses was a High Priest of Egypt, and the only one allowed on Mount Serābīt. This also focuses on the duties of the newly appointed High Priest, who at the time was Aaron. Since Aaron was not raised in the 'Royal Court' of the true king of Egypt, he was not familiar with the sacred works. Moses must have taught him because Aaron became the first Hebrew High Priest. If you read the information in the link you see that animal sacrifices were not allowed at this time.

When Moses and the Israelites left the Nile Delta, their obvious route to Canaan (where they were eventually headed) would have been directly across the wilderness of northern Sinai. So, why did they push southward into the difficult high country to spend some time at the Horeb mountain of Serābīt? (To this day archaeologists do not agree on which mountain was really the mountain of Moses.) ...From Laurence Gardner's web site.

There was something on Mount Serābīt that Moses knew about - other than the God Moses spoke to. (who was, by-the-way called 'Lord of the Mountain') ...What was it? It was something that had a 'scientific' purpose and we know what it was.

In Judaism the Tetragrammaton is the ineffable Name of God, and is therefore not to be read aloud. In the reading aloud of the scripture or in prayer, it is replaced with Adonai ("My Lords", commonly rendered as "the Lord.") Other written forms such as ? (yod) ? (vav) (YW or Yaw or ? (yod) ? (heh) (YH or Yah) are read in the same way.
The name YHWH was not always applied to a monotheistic God: see Asherah and other gods Elohim (gods) and Yaw (god). When the text is read out loud by Jews, the Tetragrammaton is replaced by the word Adonai ("my Lord(s)"), Elohim ("God(s)"), Hashem ("the name"), or Elokim.

Focus of the 25th degree; After the death of Aaron, when the new moon occurred at the vernal equinox of the 40th year of the Wandering of Israel, the people became discouraged, and began to pray to Amum and Astarte, Osiris and Isis. But Adonai ( God ) sent firey serpents amoung them, and Moses was asked to pray for the people. Moses was told to build a 'brazen' (bronze) serpent, and put it on a pole, and all who looked upon it were cured of the (firey) serpent's venom.

Contrary to the Genesis account of Adam and Eve, serpents had magical as well as healing properties. As we see, Astarte, Osiris and Isis are the gods the Israelites knew best. The firey serpent is then subjected to a 'brazen' serpent who seems to cure them of something. That puts Adonai at odds with another equally powerful enity....that enity is connected to Osiris and Isis.

Focus of the 26th degree; The candidate is presented with the "ancient dogmas and teachings" of the Hindus, Buddhists, Mithraists, 'Druids' ( Norse ?), Egyptians, Hebrews and Christians, and that in all ages the golden threads of truth have gleamed in the woof of error. Fortunate is the Mason who, by the light of wisdom, the true Masonic light, second emanation from the Deity, can discern the golden threads, God's hieroglyphs, written when time began; and read them aright, as they were read by our ancient brethren in the early ages!" The mystery of life, death and rebirth is presented using the metaphor of seeds and plants.

Focus of the 28th degree; The jewel is a golden sun on the obverse, and a hemisphere, showing the northern half of the ecliptic ( Tarus to Libra ) and Zodiac. Of the large amount of instruction in this degree, seven main points are outlined:

(1)" Science is preserved by silence, and perpetuated by initiation."
(2) " Make gold potable, and you will have the universal medicine," which evidences that one should appropriate truth to ones own use, and that the changes known as death are part of life.
(3) "The permanent revelation, one and universal, is written in visible nature, is explained by reason, and completed by the wise analogies of faith."
(4) "There is no invisible world. There are only different degrees of prefection in the organs," and " There is no void in nature; all is peopled."
(5) "Thoughts, once uttered, are immortal....How could the thoughts exist, if the soul from which they emanated were to cease to be?"
(6) " Nature is the primary, consistent, and certain revelation or unveiling of God. It is his utterance, word and speech."
(7) "Analogy is the last word of science, and the first of faith. Harmony is an equilibrium; and equilibrium subsists by the analogy of contraries. The absolute unity is the supreme and last reason of things."

The Tenth plague; Now called the Night of the Passover: The mummy of Ahmose's first born son, prince Sapair is in the Cairo Museum. He died when he was 12.

A lake in West Africa expelled carbon-doxide gas from the underground chambers of a post eruption lava flow in 1986. This gas expelled from the lake remained at ground level and traveled silently over low lying areas at a high rate of speed. It killed what ever was in it's path. Egyptian Princes slept on beds just above the ground. Adults slept on the roof. see Nyos lake

This is from the Nyos site and applies to the "Passover" deaths of thousands of Egyptians in 1540 BC: The CO2-rich cloud was expelled rapidly from the southern floor of Lake Nyos. It rose as a jet with a speed of about 100 km per hour. The cloud quickly enveloped houses within the crater that were 120 meters above the shoreline of the lake. Because CO2 is about 1.5 times the density of air, the gaseous mass hugged the ground surface and descended down valleys along the north side of the crater. The deadly cloud was about 50 meters thick and it advanced downslope at a rate of 20 to 50 km per hour. This deadly mist persisted in a concentrated form over a distance of 23 km, bringing sudden death to the villages of Nyos, Kam, Cha, and Subum.

An earthquake ensued from the volcanic eruption. Carbon Doxide escaped from the lake and it combined with the iron ozide in the water turning the water red. The carbon doxide also depleted the oxygen from the water killing the fish. The plague of frogs may be attributed to the weather, as well. Some species of desert frogs lay dormant in the soil until sufficient water is available for them to become active and reproduce. They then go dormant again as the land dries out. Heavy rains caused by the eruption could have brought about a massive outpouring of frogs. Moving on to the seventh plague, hail, and lightning are often associated with volcanic eruptions. Tiny ash particles can serve as condensation nuclei for hail, and strong electrical charges are common in the ash-filled air. see Scientific explaination of the 10 plagues.

The eruption of Santorini has been connected to the Israelite Exodus from Egypt and to the Ipuwer Papyrus, which in turn have been connected to each other. Despite numerous and varied arguments by a host of reputable scholars [e.g. Marinatos (1939), Page (1970), Doumas (1974), Luce (1976)] that one or more of the events associated with the period of extreme activity of the Santorini volcano surveyed above [i.e. earthquake(s), ash fall(s), tidal wave(s)] had a direct and disastrous effect on Neopalatial Minoan civilization, the simple facts are that the great earthquake which badly damaged Akrotiri is to be dated quite early in LM IA (either ca. 1650 or ca. 1560 B.C.?), that the entire town was buried in meters of volcanic ash still within the LM IA period (ca. 1625 or ca. 1550/1540 B.C.), and that the wave of destructions (most of them including fires) which defines the end of the Neopalatial period on Crete and to which the palaces at Mallia, Phaistos, and Zakro all fell victim cannot be dated earlier than LM IB (ca. 1480/1470 B.C.). These theories would tie the eruption to Pharaoh Ahmose I in the Second Intermediate Period of Egyptian History. see Bronze Age

For the scientists in the audience check out this page about the eruption.. Santorini The oldest exposed volcanic rocks (Akrotiri Volcanics) have been dated 630-1590 ka (Ferrara et al. 1980), and occur on the Akrotiri peninsula (Fig. 1). The bulk of the volcanic field has been built up over the last 200 ka, during which time twelve major ( 1-10 km3) explosive eruptions occurred.

In Hebrew, the Egyptian name Ahmose would mean "Brother of Moses." see Exodus Decoded. Keep in mind that Islamic officials would not like this information to be true or confirmed because it would prove that Moses did infact exist and the Exodus was fact, not fiction. also see the Ahmose Stele which is the basis of the documentary.

From the documentary we also find that people of Greece traded goods extensively with the Avaris (Hyksos) community. Alot of them lived with the Hyksos and their art work shows boats going back to Greece. When the Exodus occurred these Greek people went back to Santarini. Grave stones and wall paintings there provided evidence that these people knew Moses.

During the 1990s excavations by the Austrian team, Manfred Bietak concentrated upon an area on the western edge of the site, known as Ezbet Helmi where a large palace-like structure dating to the Hyksos period was discovered. The ancient gardens revealed many fragments of Minoan wall-paintings, similar in style to those found in the palace at Knossos in Crete. It has been suggested that these paintings, with their distinctive red background may pre-date those of Crete and Thera. They may well have influenced some of the Dynasty XVIII tomb paintings which appear to include Minoan themes, such as the flying gallop motif of horses and bulls. In the Dynasty XVIII strata of Ezbet Helmi, Dr Bietak discovered many lumps of pumice stone, which may be present as a result of the volcanic explosion on the island of Thera.
see Pi-Ramesse

"Two titanic volcanic explosions occurred in the Mediterranean in the fifteenth century BC, one on Mount Vesuvius and the other on the island of Thera (red circle on the map below) near Crete. Each dwarfed the great explosion of the Krakatoa volcano in 1883."
- Robert Jastrow, "Hero or Heretic?", Science Digest, Sep/Oct '80

"Descriptions of the Krakatoa explosion convey a sense of the horror that must have gripped the people who witnessed the earlier and more violent eruptions in the Mediterranean:

'A tremendous roar, heard over two thousand miles away'
'vibrations of the atmosphere circling the earth'
'ninety-foot waves breaking with devastating force'
'burning ashes raining down, blistering and killing people'."
- Robert Jastrow, "Hero or Heretic?", Science Digest, Sep/Oct '80

"Estimates of the volume of material displaced by the Thera eruption indicated an intensity five or six times as great as that of Krakatoa..."
- Dr. Floyd McCoy, in Ground Truth, Earthwatch Research Report

The Egyptians chasing the Hebrews were covered by a title wave from the final eruption of the Santorini volcano. About 7 cubic miles (30 cubic km) of rhyodacite magma was erupted. The plinian column during the initial phase of the eruption was about 23 miles (36 km) high."

"The caldera (or crater) created by this eruption of the Stroggilķ volcano on Thera (now known as Santorini) is said to have measured as much as 83 square kilometers in area. It presently extends down as much as 480 meters below sea level inside of the wall of cliffs which ring it and which themselves rise up as much as 300 meters above sea level.
- Encyclopaedia Britannica

The sea poured into this enormous void through fractures in the ring of land, in the northwest and southwest of the island. If the chamber collapse was sudden, the flow of water must have generated tidal waves to the north and southwest."
- Christos G. Doumas Thera - Pompeii of the Ancient Aegean, p. 137-138 see Thera

When the sky turned dark;"Then the LORD said to Moses, 'Stretch out your hand toward the sky so that darkness will spread over Egypt--darkness that can be felt.' So Moses stretched out his hand toward the sky, and total darkness covered all Egypt for three days." - Exodus 10:21-22
"The land was in great affliction. Evil fell on this earth....It was a great upheaval in the residence.. ..Nobody left the palace during nine days, and during these nine days of upheaval there was such a tempest that neither the men nor the gods could see the faces of their next."
- Stone Shrine at el-Arish

"More than seventy miles east of Thera, directly in the path of the cloud, Southern Turkey and the islands of Kos, Rhodes and Cyprus received more than a foot of ash. In those places, the cloud, even if it had shed all of its heat (which it probably had not), would have suffocated almost everyone caught outdoors."
- Charles Pellegrino, Unearthing Atlantis (1991) pp. 62, 75
A huge cloud of dust and gas enveloped the earth, and there are accounts of unnusual darkness in Egyptian and Chinese literature.

"Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, 'Take handfuls of soot from a furnace and have Moses toss it into the air in the presence of Pharaoh. It will become fine dust over the whole land of Egypt, and festering boils will break out on men and animals throughout the land.' So they took soot from a furnace and stood before Pharaoh. Moses tossed it into the air, and festering boils broke out on men and animals."- Exodus 9:8-10

The eruption of Thera was almost a thousand kilometers from the Nile delta - the land of Goshen - too distant to have suffered much damage from the accompanying earth tremors although, coincidentally, a severe earthquake and hail (falling volcanic stones?) did devastate the delta at the end of the Egyptian Middle Kingdom.

"...The fire ran along upon the ground....There was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous." - Exodus 9:23-24

The 'piller of Fire'; The eruption of Thera so distant from the Nile delta, however, that the Israelites would not have seen anything so striking as a pillar of fire, especially after the ash cloud darkened the sky. If the pillar of smoke and fire refers to a volcanic event it must have been much closer at hand.

Below is the 3rd stone seen in the documentary. In the Temple at the citadel, a scarab of Queen Tiye of Egypt - married to Amenhotep III - was placed in the "Room of the Idols", alongside at least one statue of either LHIIIA:2 or B:1 type. Amenhotep III's relations with m-w-k-i-n-u, *Mukana, have corroboration from the inscription at Kom al-Hetan - (Their explaination) but Amenhotep's reign is thought to align with late LHIIIA:1. It is likely that Amenhotep's herald presented the scarab to an earlier generation, which then found the resources to rebuild the citadel as Cyclopean and then to move the scarab here.

Tombstones tell the story of the parted "Reed" sea and the chariots and horses of the Egyptians being covered with water. The best preserved of these gravestones is shown in Fig. 32. (their explaination) The field, bordered by a double fillet, is divided horizontally into two parts. The upper part is filled with an ingeniously contrived system of running spirals. Below is a battle-scene: a man in a chariot is driving at full speed, and in front there is a naked foot soldier (enemy?), with a sword in his uplifted left hand. Spirals, apparently meaningless, fill in the vacant spaces. Since the graves’ contents are mainly contemporaneous with the early Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt, archaeologists have assigned them to the seventeenth-sixteenth (or early fifteenth) centuries B.C.
The 'meaningless' spirals are water closing in on the Egyptians. The naked man is Moses. This is the 1st stone. Pictures from . Mycenae. and see Exodus Decoded - More links, Another fresco in the documentary. It is called the Marine Festival.

This connection to the (Seventeenth dynasty) also means that Ahmose and Moses were raised as children together and Moses' step father was Seqenenre Tao. This puts Moses in Egypt at the time Seqenenre was murdered and we think Moses presided at Seqenenre's funeral as the oldest son.

The Tetragrammaton is defined as being 'several' gods and that will be important as we continue. Hindu, Buddhist, Mithraist, 'Druid' ( Norse ?), Egyptian, and Hebrew teachings must be combined to understand the full meaning of ancient religion. What one left out the other included.
"Golden threads of truth have gleamed in the woof of error."

The focus of the 26th degree is self explanatory. The focus of the 28th degree; Nature, God and Science are combined which is tied to the rest of this site and the connections we found.

With the secrets of science in mind - something or someone forbid nature and science from being part of Gods plan as written in scripture, because except for the 'brazen serpent' and Moses' rod, nothing else of a healing or magical nature is mentioned in the Old Testament of the bible, unless we are dealing with The Ark of the Covenant. The Ark had a scientific purpose. It has to do with the illusive 'Philosophers' Stone' and an age old secret that might prolong life and cure diseases. The bible calls it Manna.

'Manna'; The white powder of projection is now being researched for the industrial use in terms of its fuel-cell capabilities because it is super-conductive and can attract, store and distribute high volume energy. Also, the world of medicine has become fascinated by its future potential to cure immune system deficiencies and cellular breakdown as in AIDS and cancer conditions. The secret of its operation lies in a particular light-wave which exists at the nuclear center ( The point within a circle). It is a slow wave-form light, which resonates precisely with the light frequency of human DNA and constitutes the very Light of Life itself. More of this secret science is on our 'Ark of the Covenant' page 2. This discovery may lead to what is now called 'anti-gravity'.
Laurence Gardner The Shadow of Solomon

Benjamin Franklin was a member of the Royal Society of England and America's Ambassador to France in 1776. He was also aquanted with Prince Charles Edward who was head of the Royal House of Stuart at the time. Charles was also a member of the Rosicrucian fraternity. According to Laurence Gardner, the Count St Germain established the Masonic Order which eventually became formalized as the Commandery of Carcassonne. Franklin was a Commander of the Temple of Carcassonne in 1786. These records are held in the Grand Orient de France. What was Franklin's most important discovery?

In describing the immence golden wealth of King Solomon, the Septuagint explains that Huram of Tyre supplied him with alluvial gold from the mines of Ophir, near Sheba, along with many other favors. Even the Queen of Sheba herself brought Solomon 120 talents of gold. It is said that the weight of gold which came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty six talents of gold. It was for this reason that when the astonishing alchemical science of King Solomon was condemned by the 4th century Christian Bishops. The revelation of St John was doctored so that this number became the designated mark of the beast: six hundred, threescore and six (666) . This number of golden talents is equivalent to about 30 tons - with a value today of 250 million dollars.
Laurence Gardner - The Shadow of Solomon

The Septuagint is from the 3rd century B.C. The Hebrew version is from the 10 century A.D. and is only 500 years newer that the New Testament.

Does that mean there were other manufactured and doctored scriptures? You bet it does!
Stick around and we'll show you what they are.
