00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:25,440
Hello everybody. Ralph Erlis, I don't know if you all know me. Thanks for the introduction

2
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:33,440
there you. Yes this comes, this is my talk today, Eastern megaliths and microlyphs because we're

3
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:39,360
going to do a tour of Syria and the Levant and we're going to look at the megaliths there and we're

4
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:47,760
going to finish off with a few of the microlyphs as well because I think they have they come from the

5
00:00:47,840 --> 00:01:05,040
same era and the same provenance as the megaliths. Just get my notes out here so, Eastern megaliths

6
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:14,080
and microlyphs by myself Ralph Erlis, this comes from my King Jesus trilogy which is all from this

7
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:22,960
region of course it started with Cleopatra to Christ which traces the ancestry of Jesus and we moved

8
00:01:22,960 --> 00:01:34,240
on being 600 page opus this one, King Jesus and that gives us real historical events from the biblical

9
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:42,400
stories and that moved on to this one, Jesus King of Odessa this is quite pivotal this book

10
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:52,080
this identifies the biblical Jesus in the historical record so he was a real person, a real

11
00:01:52,080 --> 00:02:00,080
King, a King of Odessa and we're going to look at Odessa later on because it has some

12
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:07,520
megaliths right next door to it. So, yeah interesting book that again 600 pages identifying Jesus

13
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:13,280
in the historical record but while I was doing this I kept coming across little snippets of

14
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:20,400
our theory and legend because I mean who was the big hero of our theory and legend it was

15
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:26,000
Joseph Ovaramathia who came from obviously this region so the final book in this series

16
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:33,680
yeah it's a trilogy in four parts I know but never mind the grail cipher which rewrites all of our

17
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:43,120
theory and history in a very different fashion this is a marmite book you either hate it or you

18
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:48,800
love it one or the two nothing in between anyway so let's move on let's have a look at some

19
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:58,240
megaliths so not sure if you recognize this this is obviously our megalith and this comes from the

20
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:05,920
temple of Jerusalem so yes the Jerusalem temple is built on a foundation that is megalithic

21
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:15,440
and you can see from this picture here's the megaliths down below here is the more recent architecture

22
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:25,280
the Roman architecture above so we have two distinct errors here and if you look at that megalith does

23
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:32,640
that sort of look familiar to you and he won it's been out to Egypt well to me it looks like this one

24
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:40,400
where's that we're back at geese here so have a look at these megaliths obviously the second

25
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:48,800
the second pyramid is actually based on a artificial platform and it happens to be made of megaliths

26
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:57,440
that look extremely like the ones that underpin the Jerusalem temple so are we talking here the

27
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:06,480
the same era the same designer I think so because we can find this all over the nearest

28
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:19,840
so that's geese let's jump back to Jerusalem and this is another megalith up in Jerusalem this

29
00:04:19,840 --> 00:04:28,880
is underpinning the Jerusalem temple there the temple of Solomon now have a look at this particular megalith

30
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:36,320
I have an inkling that these holes are often used for actually lifting the stones into position

31
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:48,240
so have a look at this megalith and compare it with the next one okay similar where are we now we're

32
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:56,480
up at Bellebeck if you know Bellebeck it's up in in Lebanon just as sort of the the west of Damascus

33
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:03,680
this is the Bellebeck temple which was probably the largest temple complex in the Roman Empire

34
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:14,000
and as you can see it is founded upon megaliths and then we have the more recent architecture up above

35
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:22,080
so yeah we have a series of megaliths that all look the same in this particular region

36
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:27,120
so let's have a look at Bellebeck then because it's an interesting site

37
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:36,960
this is underneath the Bellebeck temple so now we can see that we have two eras here

38
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:45,520
there are two distinct eras we have so this tunnel is underneath Bellebeck the Bellebeck temple platform

39
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:55,840
and we have here megaliths underneath and we have Roman architecture up above now

40
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,800
we're not exactly sure why the Romans had to rebuild this obviously the roof structure would have been

41
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:08,240
megalithic it would have been lentils across the top perhaps it eroded away perhaps it was damaged

42
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:14,160
by earthquakes who knows but we don't know when it was damaged and why the Romans had to

43
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:19,600
rebuild it but they did and they put a Roman standard Roman art on the top so we have two

44
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:28,160
distinct eras and the question then becomes of course when was the megalithic era

45
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:35,120
it's obviously pre-Roman but when was that megalithic era well you've probably seen people

46
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:40,560
tried to decide this by archaeo astronomy and things of that nature but there's another way we can

47
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:51,840
look at this and that is by erosion so if we can if we can assume a standard rate of erosion on

48
00:06:51,840 --> 00:06:58,000
stones we can have two different erasian rates and we can maybe get a date from that so here's a

49
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:05,040
bit of erosion you will see this is the back of geyser again this is from the great pyramid

50
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:13,680
this is the it's all a bit white here am I this is the pavement upon which the Greek

51
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:21,040
pyramid rests so we have two blocks of stone we have a block of stone here and we have a block of

52
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:28,400
stone here and we have this line running down the middle why is there a line there well because originally

53
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:38,080
the casing blocks came down here so what we have then is we have this area was protected by the casing

54
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:44,400
blocks and this area was always being weathered by the sun by the rain by the feet of pilgrims

55
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:52,720
and it was being worn away over the millennia and then someone came along during the Muslim era

56
00:07:53,200 --> 00:08:02,160
and they took away the casing blocks they were all used for building projects down in Cairo

57
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:10,960
and so now both sides of this stone were exposed to the elements and so here we see there is less

58
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:17,440
erosion because that has only been exposed for a thousand years we know when these casing

59
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:24,640
blocks were taken away but this area has been exposed ever since the pyramid was built

60
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:33,760
the interesting thing is between here and here this area on the left has 10 times as much erosion

61
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:43,840
as the area on the right so if this has been exposed for a thousand years then we can probably say

62
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:51,840
if we can assume a standard erosion rate that this area here has been exposed for 10,000 years

63
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:59,520
so as a rough guide we can probably say that the great pyramid is about 10,000 years old

64
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:08,960
and therefore the megalithic era is probably about 10,000 years old so it's rough and ready but

65
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:13,760
it's a good guide to how far back we're looking for the megalithic era

66
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:23,200
so that is an estimate of the megalithic era let's go back to Balbek then where we were before

67
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:30,480
this is up in Lebanon and have a look at some of the architecture that's been built there

68
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:39,600
so this is the small temple at Balbek actually it's not that small really but anyway we'll see

69
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:45,920
in a minute it's a vast temple this is a temple of Aphrodite it goes under several names this particular

70
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:53,440
temple but it's almost in as new condition a little bit TLC and they could put this back into its

71
00:09:53,520 --> 00:10:04,320
original condition but I say this is the small temple at Balbek but you can't really get much

72
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:11,200
idea of an idea of scale there but if you look down the bottom here that's a person

73
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:19,920
yeah it's huge this is Roman of course is not megalithic but it is still a huge huge temple

74
00:10:20,560 --> 00:10:27,840
and the workmanship on here is absolutely amazing this is looking up at the lintles

75
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:36,160
and you'll see every inch of the lintles has been carved on these temples absolutely fantastic

76
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:44,720
here is the capital and it's not only very intricate superb workmanship but it's almost

77
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:50,400
in as new condition as I say bit a TLC they could put this temple back into its original

78
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:58,560
condition but nobody much cares about the ancient world out there unfortunately but this is not

79
00:10:58,560 --> 00:11:05,600
the biggest site so I not the biggest temple on the Balbek site the biggest one is

80
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:14,640
this one this is the temple of Jupiter and this actually stands upon the Balbek

81
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:24,240
temple platform itself and this is absolutely vast again not megalithic this is Roman but you

82
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:33,440
might call this neo-megalithic because these columns are 19 meters tall and they had to cut them

83
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:39,840
into three drums you can probably see one two three drums each of those drums weighs 70 kilos

84
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:46,240
not bad in terms of architecture from 2000 years ago and these lintles on the top

85
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:54,160
I'm never quite sure if these lintles come in two pieces or one piece but if it's a single piece

86
00:11:54,160 --> 00:12:00,000
it's around the 200 tons mark it's a huge piece of stone on the top there and again

87
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:06,720
you can't get an idea of scale there really because when I went to Lebanon obviously it's

88
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:11,600
a bit of a dangerous place there was no one else there I was the only person on site for two days

89
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:17,520
apart from a party of Koreans that came wandering through for 40 minutes it's the Korean tourist

90
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:24,560
get everywhere but apart from that I was on my own so there's no sense of scale there so here's a

91
00:12:24,560 --> 00:12:33,040
person for you oh he's going very slow we had to oh he wasn't supposed to do that never mind

92
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:39,120
we had to translate this from apple into powerpoint and it's not doing quite what I expected

93
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:50,640
anyway there is a person for you to give you an idea of scale these columns are 2.4 meters in diameter

94
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:58,640
they are simply huge they are the largest columns made during the Roman era well we presume they

95
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:04,240
are Roman columns I mean there's no definitive answer on that but we we think they're Roman

96
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:11,040
so it's a vast vast temple built on a megalithic platform as you can probably see the megaliths are

97
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:23,600
just underneath here so it's Roman on top of megalith and these let's have a look at the end of the

98
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:30,240
temple platform so this is the end of the platform the temple of Jupiter is just up the top here you

99
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:35,280
can't see it it's just out of sight this is the end of the temple platform and this is what people

100
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:42,560
often come to ball back to have a look at these are the trillifton stones one two three four five

101
00:13:42,560 --> 00:13:51,280
six huge megaliths and these stones are simply huge again you can't get a sense of scale

102
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:56,800
there because I was the only person so I've nicked this I've nicked this image off the internet

103
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:04,800
because it has a person there now you can get some idea of scale so here's a person and so this

104
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:09,360
stone here has got to be something like three meters by three meters and about what I don't

105
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:15,760
know about 15 meters long or so we're talking about the 700 tongue mark for this particular stone

106
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:25,040
and you've got a wonder why an earth and architect would specify 700 tongue stones in their building

107
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:30,240
project I mean why not just cut it up transport it in smaller amounts glue it back together

108
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:36,960
game with a bit of mortar good as gold I mean we're not talking about a column here or a stellar

109
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:42,800
or something that needs to be in a single piece it's just a temple platform why earth would you

110
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:52,880
want to make a temple platform of stones of this size the only answer is that it was simple for the

111
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:59,440
architect now in what way it was simple I will leave that up to you to speculate but it

112
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:06,000
had to be simple otherwise they just simply would never have done it but these aren't even the

113
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:13,920
biggest stones on the site so this one is larger here's me sitting on the top

114
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:21,840
this is down the road this is in a quarry so this stone hasn't been used this is about two

115
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:30,640
three kilometers down the road just opposite the hotel Palmeira where I was staying and this is the

116
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:38,000
old quarry this stone is about four by four by twenty I think it is it's about a thousand tons

117
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:47,920
it is a simply a huge stone now all of this area this was back in 2008 something like

118
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:53,840
that I think this is all now being dug out so I think when he did his latest video you could see

119
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:59,600
that this is all being excavated and you can see what was underneath and that's very interesting

120
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:08,640
as well and it's known as the stone of the pregnant woman why is that because this stone

121
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:14,400
is still attached to the ground so it's sitting on a little plinth underneath it was never quite

122
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:23,120
separated from the ground and that plinth is an unbalicle in effect and so the pregnant woman is

123
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:29,920
is the earth herself it is gaya giving birth to this new stone these little fetus stones stuck

124
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:38,720
on top of this unbalicle and so she is the stone of the pregnant woman and again huge

125
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:47,040
great stone thousand tons but that is not the biggest stone on this site are this one is

126
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,520
and not many people know about this stone but anyway this is a bit further down

127
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:59,360
this is another quarry this is another three kilometers down the road and this is the stone

128
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:07,280
of the Colossus and there's me on the top again to give you an idea of scale and have some

129
00:17:07,360 --> 00:17:11,120
great fun trying to take this picture because obviously I was the only person there at the time so

130
00:17:11,120 --> 00:17:18,400
all I could do is stick the camera on a tripod press the timer which only had 10 seconds was

131
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:26,720
the maximum I had and then run down to the bottom here so I had I had 15 pictures of me falling

132
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:34,400
over on the stone and then finally that the 16th picture is me in post mode at the end

133
00:17:35,360 --> 00:17:41,120
yeah so there's me this stone is even bigger this is four and a half meters by four and a half

134
00:17:41,120 --> 00:17:51,520
meters by about 24 meters long this stone comes in at about 1200 or 1300 tons and again you've

135
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:59,280
got to wonder why an earth would you want to specify a stone of this size for your building project

136
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:05,920
it's actually crazy and in fact it's so crazy that the Romans can you see at the end here the Romans

137
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:11,280
turned the stone into a quarry because it was too large for them to carry and there was no point

138
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:16,160
carrying it so they actually started quarrying the end of it and taking blocks of stone out of it

139
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:25,280
yeah this is the megalithic era which as I say is probably in the realms of 10,000 years ago

140
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:35,760
and so let's have a look at the temple platform itself this is Malbek this is not the temple

141
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:42,880
of Jupiter this is the as it were the anti-chainber of the temple so this is a panoramic

142
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:51,360
and it runs around the whole of the the front end of the temple platform

143
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:58,800
so the temple of Jupiter is behind us and look at the vastness of this construction

144
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:04,960
the amount of architecture we tend to think that we live in a rich world think of how rich the

145
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:12,960
Roman Empire must have been in order to create this enormous great structure huge isn't it

146
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:18,640
but why was it destroyed why is it in the condition we see it in today

147
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:26,880
well sometimes the detail gives you the answer not the big picture it's the detail that we need to

148
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:32,400
so let's have a look at this again let's run the same panoramic again

149
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:36,640
and what are these stones at the top

150
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,040
as we go around you'll see more of them

151
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:55,600
here we go we've got battlements on the top why in earth we got

152
00:19:56,240 --> 00:20:04,240
battlements on the top of a temple the sad truth is it was the Romans themselves who destroyed the

153
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:13,440
temple these battlements were caused during the 8th century during the Sarasam Muslim invasions

154
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:19,360
and the Roman Empire had been at peace with itself for hundreds of years

155
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:29,200
because it was so powerful so mighty very few of its towns and cities actually had city walls

156
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:37,040
so they were defenseless and during the Sarasam Muslim invasions all they could do

157
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:46,320
was tear down their own temples and turn them into fortresses and we see this all over

158
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,680
the Near East here is another one

159
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:56,800
this is spectacular this is in North Africa this one actually and you can see again in

160
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:02,960
speak that they tore down their own city to make this defensive wall you can see this very rough and

161
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:08,480
ready defensive wall that they made around their city but to know if they are because they were

162
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:17,840
all exiled from their city here's another one this is a dideema wonderful sight if you get

163
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:24,240
out to this one is in Anatolia so if you get out to Anatolia this is a wonderful temple

164
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:28,720
huge great temple it took them something like 400 years to build this temple

165
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:35,520
and then they tore it all down so they could build this wall all the way around it you can see this

166
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:42,960
wall goes all the way around the temple area very traumatic era that era and the same happened

167
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:49,360
in Syria so in our great tour of Syria wonderful sightsees if you ever get out to Syria

168
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,680
can't do it nowadays of course it's a bit too dangerous but if you get out to Syria

169
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:02,560
these cities are marvelous places to go and visit these are the dead cities of Aleppo

170
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:13,520
and it's like toy town really isn't it's great these around Aleppo which is in northern Syria

171
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:23,440
there are 800 towns cities and settlements that were destroyed during the eight century during the

172
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:31,600
Sarasan invasions and they're just standing there so we have complete cities without

173
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:39,040
the people so this is a basilica cathedral remember all of this area was was Christian at this time

174
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:47,200
all of North Africa all of Anatolia was all Christian and they've left these basilicas all over

175
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:55,040
the Near East and you can you can wander around these cities you can walk down their

176
00:22:55,120 --> 00:23:00,560
high streets you can go into their shops you can go into their cathedrals and they're just

177
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:08,000
sitting there and they've been abandoned for 1,300 years just sitting there out in Syria

178
00:23:09,120 --> 00:23:18,320
here's another basilica huge great basilica just just as it was left over a thousand years ago

179
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:23,760
very interesting places and there are so many of those cities to visit out in Syria

180
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:31,040
one of the interesting things though we see there in amongst these dead cities is these

181
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:41,920
these more's of limbs so we have these pyramid tombs so now obviously this was a Christian land

182
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:50,480
at the time but now we're invoking the history and the culture of Egypt and some of them are quite

183
00:23:50,480 --> 00:24:01,760
huge this is a vast more slim again invoking the history of Egypt but interestingly

184
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:12,400
the actual tomb itself is Christian so if we look inside it and here's the inside you'll see

185
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:22,320
three sarcophagi and here you will note the chiro of Christianity so these are Christian tombs

186
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:30,000
but more confusing than that if you look at the top you'll see that the top of the sarcophagus

187
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:38,640
has the four horns of the Judea altar so we have a fusion here between Egypt, Judeaism and

188
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:47,440
Christianity so we can pretty much say that these tombs belong to the Nazarene the Ibuyonites

189
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:55,680
the Church of Jesus and James the slightly Egyptian form of Judaism that was present in the first

190
00:24:55,680 --> 00:25:05,600
to the fifth centuries out here so while we're looking at it this is just some of the sites of Syria

191
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:11,840
so you know as soon as they stopped fighting out there I would really recommend anyone going out there because

192
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:18,480
Syria well if you look at it today obviously a bit down trodden you would never believe that it was a rich

193
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:26,320
culture but during this era this is anywhere from you know the second century BC through to the 6th

194
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:36,800
century AD Syria was the richest part the richest region of the Roman Empire and so as you go around

195
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:44,720
it's many many sites you'll see places like this this is Apamir which is an whole forest of these enormous

196
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:52,320
great pillars all the way through this town and look at this this is the main road into town as it

197
00:25:52,320 --> 00:26:01,520
were and look at this huge wide road for your carts going into this huge great town wonderful sites to see

198
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:10,800
here's an interesting one this is Palmyra I'm not sure if you're familiar with Palmyra but it's a

199
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:19,440
quite a famous city out in the eastern Syrian desert and this is the temple of Bell and

200
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:26,080
this is one of the last pictures of the temple of Bell because this was all blown up by ISIS

201
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:34,240
a few years ago so it doesn't exist anymore it's all gone which is a real shame because the

202
00:26:35,360 --> 00:26:42,960
temple of Bell was probably the richest temple within the Roman Empire not the largest that was the

203
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:49,920
temple of Jupiter but probably the richest and you'll see this from the top of the pillars here

204
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:59,360
and not finished they're unfinished that's because the capitals on these pillars were made of bronze

205
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:06,560
now bronze was really expensive in this era so you know to use bronze as a top for your capitals

206
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:15,440
on your pillars was hugely extravagant this was a really really wealthy temple and it has the

207
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:21,760
largest temple courtyard that I've ever seen probably in the whole of the Roman Empire had this

208
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:26,880
enormous colon aid that went all the way around the temple and you could walk around the top of the

209
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:35,360
colon aid on top of its roof but to get on top of the colon aid to get on the roof they had pillars

210
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:41,520
in each corner which was so large that they had a spiral staircase that went up the middle of the

211
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:48,880
pillar excellent it's really really good architecture so probably still worth well worth seeing even

212
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:54,640
though they've managed to destroy the temple of Bell but a very interesting site nonetheless

213
00:27:55,920 --> 00:28:04,800
and here's another one this huge great oh okay it has done it okay

214
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:15,600
this huge great cathedral in Resarfer except it's not a cathedral anyone guess what it is

215
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:21,360
without looking at the legend this is out in the desert this is what you do if you live in a

216
00:28:21,360 --> 00:28:26,480
desert region quite often you'll see people on the television complaining that they live in an

217
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:33,360
arid condition and their short of water and life is tough this is what you do if you live in an

218
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:42,960
arid place because this is a water system so this is all underground only the top pokes above ground

219
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:49,920
and there are two of these side by side in the center of the city of Resarfer out in the eastern

220
00:28:49,920 --> 00:29:00,080
Syrian desert and just to give you an idea of scale that's a person and this will be full of water

221
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:09,920
during the winter rains to last the city during the hot summer months two of these side by side

222
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:18,960
absolutely fantastic engineering and the last little thing I want to look at in this little tour of Syria

223
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:27,440
is this one this is supposed to be a Phoenician tomb or sarcophagus

224
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:34,640
but if you know anything about the Phoenicians they normally copy Egyptian styles and their

225
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:43,760
workmanship is quite rough and rude and yet here we suddenly have this Greek sarcophagus

226
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:50,800
which happens to be the finest piece of sculpture in the Greek world and it's supposed to be

227
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:58,160
Phoenician no I don't think so so who does this belong to well I think the clue is

228
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:05,680
you're probably recognising so I don't know Alexander the Great so here's Alexander

229
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:12,800
and here's Darious III in their famous battle from the third fourth century BC

230
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:22,240
I think that this is the tomb of Alexander the Great we know that his tomb was created in

231
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:29,120
Persia probably in Persopolis or somewhere like that and it was taken

232
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:37,440
westwards on a huge great cart to go to Greece but it never arrived in Greece and we don't know what happened to it

233
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:45,760
I've a suspicion that it stopped here in Lebanon and it was dropped off because it was

234
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:53,680
a political hot potato nobody actually wanted to have his sarcophagus and so it was dropped off in

235
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:59,680
Lebanon and it's been there ever since and I think this is it and if you want to see it now you

236
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:05,760
have to go to the museum and Constantinople Istanbul because that's where it is now

237
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:17,680
um so where are we on this so oh yes mega this we were talking about mega this weren't

238
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:23,760
way so they do have mega this in Syria and you're probably recognising this one this is

239
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:31,200
got Beckley Tapi which is supposed to be the oldest temple complex in the world

240
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:41,440
and the oldest mega lithic architecture of course and this one dates from about 11,000 years ago

241
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:49,120
so we're talking really the mega lithic era that we identified before so this is an amazing

242
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:53,200
complex there are loads of these circles I don't know how many there are there probably eight

243
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:58,880
ten of these circles all in one location and they were all covered up with earth at some

244
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:04,960
points so nobody knew they were there and they were uncovered only recently within the last 20 years or

245
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:11,200
so I won't talk too much about this because I'm sure you've all seen Gabbette Kli Tepe

246
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:19,440
the thing that interested me is when we started this talk you'll notice I had the book

247
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:26,080
Jesus King of Odessa where is Gabbette Kli Tepe it's that Odessa

248
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:32,960
not sure if there is a connection there but it's funny enough it's right at Odessa so

249
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:39,200
here's a map of the region we've got Jerusalem down the bottom Damascus Palmyra

250
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:47,600
Aleppo is about there Antioch which is modern Antakia and there we go there's Odessa it's just

251
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:54,960
beyond the U-fretis which is a phrase I use time and time and time again in my books because it

252
00:32:55,040 --> 00:33:02,560
comes out of Josephus Flavius the people from beyond the U-fretis the people from Odessa

253
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:08,080
very famous place well it is in my books anyway nobody knew about Odessa before I started writing

254
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:14,960
about it because it's been deleted from history you can do a computer search of Josephus Flavius

255
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:20,160
the great historian of this region and you can search for Odessa and it will just say

256
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:27,120
nothing found because it's been deleted from history but here it is in the modern world

257
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:33,440
here is Odessa they call it San Lurford now but this is the Odessa so this is looking up at the

258
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:39,440
Citadel that's where the old castle used to be many many years ago and if you go to

259
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:45,120
God-backly tapie you must go to Odessa because the museum is there and luckily they've built a

260
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:52,960
nice new museum because the old one was fairly carp but the new one is really good so do have a

261
00:33:52,960 --> 00:34:04,240
look at that and if you go to Odessa do go to Sogmitar sogmitar is the necropolis of the Odessa monarchy

262
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:13,440
and it is a really ethereal atmospheric place it's about I don't know it's about 50 kilometers

263
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:21,680
I think towards the southeast of Odessa out in the rolling desert hills that they have out there and this is Sogmitar

264
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:34,000
nope it was just on a ghostloat here we go and this is the central feature in Sogmitar

265
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:42,960
which is a man-made hill and we don't quite know how old this particular hill is but I thought this

266
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:49,840
hill was interesting and I've just given the game away have a knife because it's exactly the same size

267
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:58,720
as silvery which is just down the road from us why were people making these these mounds these

268
00:34:58,720 --> 00:35:06,240
conical mounds where we're going to look at a lot of conical mounds later in this lecture it's because

269
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:13,120
in my view if you couldn't build a pyramid because pyramids are big expensive they're

270
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:19,600
megallistic taken awful long time to make well if you can't build something that grand you can

271
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:27,200
certainly build an earth and mound and I think a lot of these conical mounds and we're going to see many more of these

272
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:36,080
are cheaper representations of a pyramid and that's why they built them so

273
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:43,040
going back to Sogmitar again this is the more the Liam of the Addessing Kings the

274
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:47,680
necropolis of the Addessing Kings these are the tombs that they buried their kings in

275
00:35:48,240 --> 00:35:54,320
and there's about I don't know eight or ten of these scattered on these little tiny hills all the way

276
00:35:54,320 --> 00:36:02,400
across Sogmitar and they are truncated roundtars so these are from the first century onwards so these are

277
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:09,840
sort of Roman era and what are they again I think they are imitation pyramids

278
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:22,320
if you had been initiated into the secrets of the geyser plateau you would know that the great

279
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:32,160
pyramid is too pie R the great pyramid is a circle mathematically speaking so if you wanted to show

280
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:38,000
that you were initiated into the secrets of geyser then you didn't have to build yourself a pyramid

281
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:45,200
you could build yourself a circle and we see this analogy throughout the biblical

282
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:53,440
text as well I write quite a lot about this in my books so to me this is a pseudo pyramid

283
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:59,840
by someone who has been initiated into the secrets of geyser and you can see the shaft that goes

284
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:07,920
down the bottom here down into the tomb chamber underneath this particular roundtart and here

285
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:19,280
is a picture inside it so this is the entrance to the tomb this on the left is the recess for a rolling

286
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:26,640
stone so it had a biblical style rolling stone that covered the entrance and up here there's a

287
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:33,440
little bit of a ramp ingeniously created so that you have to push the stone up the ramp and

288
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:38,480
chalk it with you know wooden chalk or something and then when you finished inside you pull the

289
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:47,120
wooden chalk out and the rolling stone rolls itself into place all very ingenious and here's

290
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:53,600
looking into the tomb now these are standard judaic tombs that you find all over the nearest

291
00:37:54,400 --> 00:38:00,400
there's one down the tomb of the kings in geyser is exactly the same there's one actually at

292
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:10,320
Balbec that they uncovered where the stones were and these are not actually tombs there's such

293
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:18,720
these are more like a sarcophagi these are body eaters so what you do is you put your body in one of

294
00:38:18,720 --> 00:38:26,560
these little alcoves here and you leave it there to rot away for a few years I don't know how long

295
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:32,400
it takes I've never tried it myself but there we go give it three or four years I don't know how

296
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:37,840
long it takes and the body rots away and you're left with a pile of bones and then you can

297
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:43,280
collect up the bones put the bones into an ossyry and you can put the ossyry into your cellar

298
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:52,560
one presumes that when the body has has gone therefore the soul has departed and therefore

299
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:57,920
all you're left with these bones and you can put those anyway you like and your your body has

300
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:06,080
has has dissipated in a very ethereal location called sogmatar all the way out in the eastern desert

301
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:15,200
away from a desa very interesting sight but we saw there that there was a a conical mound

302
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:21,520
that's sogmatar there are loads of these and there's here's another one this not sure if you recognise this

303
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:30,800
this is Ticoua this is or Herodium I think they call it this is just to the south of Jerusalem

304
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:39,120
and it's said to be man-made but it's not actually it's it's a natural mesa a natural hill

305
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:46,080
that has been modified by someone to make it into a conical hill so it has artificial

306
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:52,400
sides put on the side of it to make it into a conical hill why have they done that because they

307
00:39:52,400 --> 00:40:00,320
want to make it look like a pyramid same as the previous mound we saw it's an imitation pyramid

308
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:08,160
it's an imitation primeval mound and this was used by the Herodium kings they built a castle on

309
00:40:08,240 --> 00:40:16,480
top of it but originally it would have been a a temple complex and here's another one this is

310
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:28,480
very unknown this one but if you happen to be in Syria this is the temple of Schmemis this is actually

311
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:35,760
a volcano so we have an old volcano here and someone has coated the sides with it with a bit more

312
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:43,200
material to make it again into a conical hill a primeval mound and they put a temple on the top of it

313
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:50,800
because it was an imitation pyramid not everybody could build in mega lithic architecture and so

314
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:57,120
they made their own one here very interesting sight it's just outside homes and hammer down in the

315
00:40:57,120 --> 00:41:13,840
south of Syria and talking of sacred hills does anyone recognize this one this is down on the

316
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:24,480
dead scene and it's a fortress and a temple complex known as Masada for those of you who don't

317
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:33,120
know Masada it's a very famous in Judea history they had the Jewish revolt of AD 66 to AD 70

318
00:41:34,240 --> 00:41:41,520
when there was a revolt against Rome but the revolt failed of course what it always does against Rome

319
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:48,080
you know they were so powerful the revolt failed and so the rebels all disappeared off and they

320
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:54,480
were holed up here on the top of Masada where there was a great fortress on the top of Masada

321
00:41:55,040 --> 00:42:02,880
and they were surrounded by Romans for three years and rather than surrender they all committed suicide

322
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:14,000
very very famous story within Judea history but does anyone recognize that from modern

323
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:30,720
theater from modern films modern Hollywood it is the fortress of jeddah is it gonna write something

324
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:38,000
it's on a ghost load this thing there we go fortress of jeddah and if you change the E to a

325
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:50,080
you you get the fortress of juda it is the same fortress so let's put the battle cruiser back on

326
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:59,280
Masada and here you have the fortress of Masada it's been used in a film but you might say

327
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:05,120
well hold on a minute any old hill that's got a flat top is gonna look like jeddah isn't it

328
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:16,240
so it's it's merely a coincidence but no I don't think so because we take an aerial look at jeddah we will see

329
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:24,160
that it looks like this so this is the fortress of jeddah from star wars and you'll see

330
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:33,280
that it is a it's a free standing fortress that juts out of this desert environment

331
00:43:34,240 --> 00:43:43,120
with these sheer cliffs on either side and it's arman shape diamond shape and look behind

332
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:49,520
and you'll see all of these cliffs with their strata horizontal strata on these cliffs behind

333
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:56,080
yeah that's from star wars now let's have a look at Masada

334
00:43:56,080 --> 00:44:07,680
and it's a free standing arman shape diamond shape are fortress that juts out with these

335
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:16,240
vertical cliffs on either side and look at the strata on the cliffs behind they've used

336
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:25,760
Masada as a template for the star wars trilogy the original star wars trilogy

337
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:33,280
why have they done so because it's telling the same story the story of star wars is the story of the

338
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:44,960
Jewish revolt so the evil galactic empire is the evil Roman empire that was governing this region

339
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:50,560
the plucky rebels that are fighting against the galactic empire were the plucky

340
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:58,640
Nazarene and it'd be a night judeck rebels who were fighting against the Roman empire it is the

341
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:04,160
same story and you can imagine these rebels hold up in their caves on the shores of the

342
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:08,880
dead sea or perhaps on the shores of the sea of Galilee oh

343
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:23,920
we have some jetties so yeah the the asine monks who used to tour Judea wearing nothing but a cloak

344
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:31,600
and carrying a sword because they always carried a sword are the as the jettie monks who toured the

345
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:41,520
galaxy wearing nothing but a cloak and carrying a let's saver they are the same so we can imagine these

346
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:52,480
rebel monks hold up in their caves along the dead sea or along the sea of Galilee muttering about the

347
00:45:52,560 --> 00:46:08,480
Romans and asking what did the Romans ever do for us and well I mean they they could have mentioned

348
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:15,120
the aqueducts and the sanitation and the baths and the roads yeah but the roads go without saying

349
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:24,000
so you can see how these ancient stories have been reworked within modern literature

350
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:31,040
modern film work modern Hollywood and we're going to see that again just in a minute because

351
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:38,080
we now move on to the microlifts and why do we want to look at the microlifts well because

352
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:43,280
they are part and parcel of the same story they came out of the megalithic era and the original

353
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:51,760
microlifts came from Egypt it's this one this is the prime evil mound upon which the phoenix stood

354
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:57,600
sometimes known as the benben and it was this sacred map this is why we get these imitation

355
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:03,760
mounds all over the nearies this is why we get the permits because the pyramids are imitation

356
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:10,160
prime evil mounds themselves so we have this prime evil mound upon which the phoenix stood and the

357
00:47:10,240 --> 00:47:17,840
phoenix is a sun bird you can see the sun burst behind his head so this sacred mound

358
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:28,000
comes out of prehistory out of the very early Egyptian era and sometimes it's cast as being

359
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:34,400
very big sometimes it was only small and when this was known as the benben I don't know sure if

360
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:40,080
you've heard of the benben stone but anyway it used to be from heliopolis in Egypt but

361
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:50,480
during the Greek era it ended up in Greece and here it is in Greece this is known as the on

362
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:58,560
phoenix and this is what it sort of looked like it was a conical stone not very big it was only

363
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:03,120
supposed to be out about 70 80 centimeters high what's that about two for six it's quite small

364
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:10,560
and here you see it draped with various netting we're not quite sure what this netting was

365
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:16,400
whether it was just decorative or part of the stone not really sure why it had that on it but this

366
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:23,440
is the on phoenix at Delphi so if you go to Delphi in Greece you will see it there today but this is

367
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:31,200
not the original of course it's just a copy this is a copy made in marble here's an image of the

368
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:41,680
original okay this is a coin from Persia this is a coin from Persia when Persia was Greek remember all

369
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:48,560
of Iraq and Iran and all of that region was all Greek at this time and that's why the legend here

370
00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:58,720
is in Greek and it says Celle Coye Celle Coye it's the silucid era of Greece of Persian Greece

371
00:48:58,720 --> 00:49:08,720
and here you will see Apollo sitting on the sacred on phoenix stone the same stone that came out

372
00:49:08,720 --> 00:49:13,360
of Egypt and you can see it is again draped with this netting and not sure where the netting is there but

373
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:24,320
there we go so it was a seat it was a seat for the gods who sat on it here is another image of the same stone

374
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:31,920
again from Persia Greek Persia but it didn't stay in Persia she's been on a bit of a tour so far it came

375
00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:38,160
out of Egypt it ended up in Greece it's gone across to Persia didn't stay in Persia it came back from

376
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:44,320
Persia courtesy of Queen Theo mosa or rainia again another of these unknown monics that nobody knows

377
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:51,280
about she was a Persian queen and she was evicted from Persia and she ended up in a desa that

378
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:57,520
wonderful place we're going to see a desa in a minute and she I think she took the stone with her

379
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:07,280
so here is the stone here is an actual image of the stone in a desa and here it is you can see the

380
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:14,800
conical stone except you're going to say well that's not very conical is it so here it is

381
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:24,240
and this is actually a Bethel Bethel is a house of God but this is not a big house this is a very

382
00:50:24,240 --> 00:50:32,560
small house it's just a box a box that contained the sacred stones so the sacred stone is inside the

383
00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:41,920
box it's inside the Bethel and you all know what this is not sure if you recognize it lots of

384
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:52,640
people have been hunting for it it is the arch of the covenant so here we have an image of the arc

385
00:50:52,640 --> 00:51:00,640
of the covenant from I think it's about the second third century AD in adesa this is why the adesa

386
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:07,440
monarchy was so important because they owned the arch of the covenant I think we need a few

387
00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:19,920
cords of the tune don't we did it but it didn't stay there so the adesa monarchy came to an end really

388
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:28,480
in the third century in the stone moved down to Syria and here is the stone in Syria and now we can see

389
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:37,040
it's a is a conical stone again so here it is in a temple conical stone and you can see on it

390
00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:44,320
it's in bust with the image of the phoenix we can see the phoenix once more why did it have the phoenix

391
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:52,160
on it because it was supposed to be a meteorite so it came in through the skies in this great

392
00:51:52,160 --> 00:52:00,800
fiery fireball remember the phoenix is the fiery bird who came down from the heavens above and so

393
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:09,280
this was a sacred mick meteorite which have been all over the near east over the last

394
00:52:10,240 --> 00:52:17,120
well we don't know how long 10,000 years I say but it didn't stay in Syria for very long either

395
00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:29,680
it was taken to Rome and here it is in Rome and you will see now it's it's I've got to mention it's

396
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:36,800
got a new name now of course it's called the elegabal which means the mountain of God and of course

397
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:43,360
it is a small mountain isn't it it's a small conical hill that's why we have all of those

398
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:50,960
conical hills that we saw earlier around Syria and you can see again it's in bust with the image

399
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:59,200
of the phoenix sitting on there now it was taken this stone was taken to Rome by emperor elegabalas

400
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:06,000
now you've probably not heard of him either but he was a third century emperor of Rome who came

401
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:12,640
from Syria that's why he had the stone and he was a high priest of the elegabal stone

402
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:19,280
this stone in other words he was he was a

403
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:30,960
he followed on from the footsteps of the biblical Jesus remember Jesus his primary disciple was

404
00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:41,600
called Simon but Simon was given the title of Peter Kifus the stone why was he given that

405
00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:49,840
that title it wasn't because you know upon this rock my kingdom will be created

406
00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:56,800
it was because Peter was the keeper of the sacred stone that's why he got the name Peter Kifus

407
00:53:56,800 --> 00:54:05,440
because he was the keeper of the sacred stone so this stone has gone all the way through history

408
00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:13,040
and but from Rome when emperor elegabalas was murdered we don't know what happened to it

409
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:22,560
but it does appear within history it appears once more within a theory in legend this is one of the

410
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:27,440
reasons I got interested in a theory in legend and started writing a story about Arthur as well

411
00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:37,760
because in Arthurian legend this stone is called the lapset Alexis the stone that came from heaven

412
00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:46,960
but it has a more common name within Arthurian legend and you'll know that as well except you

413
00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:52,320
won't guess it from looking at this but you all know exactly what this stone is

414
00:54:52,800 --> 00:55:05,840
because in Arthurian legend it's called the holy grail so here is the holy grail so we found both

415
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:11,680
now we found the arch of the covenant and now we found the holy grail that definitely

416
00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:20,160
needs a few chords from raiders that the last start doesn't it the holy grail is a multi-faceted

417
00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:27,520
and if you read my books you'll see exactly what it means but it has many facets it is a bloodline

418
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:36,400
it is a cup but the cup is just a play on words for the bloodline but it is also within Arthurian

419
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:45,200
legend it is a sacred stone and here is the sacred stone that has gone through history

420
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:53,200
except it's gone missing it's gone missing well we know about it from Arthurian legend but it's

421
00:55:53,200 --> 00:56:04,400
gone missing essentially for about 1,700 years but it did appear in a film recently and I nearly sort of

422
00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:10,400
fell off my chair when I saw it because I'd be one of the few people who would actually recognize

423
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:16,320
what this was and why it appeared in this film I've got no idea at all but it's a very famous

424
00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:22,160
film you've all have seen it but you won't have noticed what it was actually displaying so what

425
00:56:22,160 --> 00:56:27,440
it was actually displaying is this stone but you've got to imagine what this stone would look like

426
00:56:28,160 --> 00:56:36,560
so this is a meteor and this is what meteor's look like okay this is the Williamette

427
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:43,520
meteor from America and you can see it's come through the atmosphere as a great fiery ball and landed

428
00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:50,320
on earth and and therefore it's all blackened and slightly reddish and full of all these little

429
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:57,840
pop marks because it got so hot during its descent to earth so that's what a meteorite looks like so you

430
00:56:57,920 --> 00:57:10,160
have to imagine that this conical stone looked like that blackened with pieces missing of it

431
00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:18,480
pop marked and also it might if you take it out of its foundations out of its holder it might actually

432
00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:25,120
be egg shaped bit like the lignums if you've seen the lignums of India and they have these

433
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:33,520
phallic sort of conical stones the lignums when if you take a lignum out of its holder it is actually

434
00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:42,640
an egg so the phallic cone when you take it out is actually an egg it's a synthesis of the male

435
00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:52,000
and the female in one artifact and I've got a suspicion that the L. aga ball stone the on phallistone

436
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:59,440
was probably the same anyway so you can imagine I was sitting in this cinema watching this film

437
00:58:01,440 --> 00:58:15,120
and suddenly up comes an image of the lignum ball stone and here it is don't if you recognize

438
00:58:15,200 --> 00:58:22,080
that that's from James Bond in one of the latest movies and for no apparent reason because it had

439
00:58:22,080 --> 00:58:30,560
no relationship whatsoever to the subject of the film suddenly we saw a picture of the elicobal stone

440
00:58:31,200 --> 00:58:41,280
so somebody is still interested in the the origins and the location of the elicobal stone

441
00:58:41,280 --> 00:58:52,960
and so on that little bombshell double ozebens holy grail that is the end I hope you enjoyed it
