Hey James,
When are you coming out to cacti-land? If you need or want a place to crash for a bit just let me know and I will run it by my Woman just to make sure all is copacetic.
Here is a video of Gunnar Heinsohn lecturing on his theory on an added 700 years in our timeline. I haven't watched it in a while but remember it being a little hard to follow. The things I took away from it are that there are three distinct cataclysms that historians note in three different centuries. Heinsohn states that in the earth's strata there is only evidence of one, which was probably all three that happened in a signal event. He mentions that the people of the time referred to it as Armageddon. I think he said that there is nothing below the Roman strata layer.
I came across this after I was reading the New Testament and Christ states "verily I say unto you that this generation shall not pass until all these things have happened" in references to all sorts of catastrophic things happening and the apostles being martyred, 7 churches being destroyed (they already are destroyed), no stone left on another stone of the temple (already happened)etc. It bothered me that all the church people I come across think this is something that is going to happen They are fervent that they believe what Christ says....except for this. They do backflips trying to explain away all of these things. In my opinion they have been co-opted into the zio death cult and are eagerly awaiting the temple to be rebuilt to be destroyed, the red heifer from texas (lol) to be born and sacrificed by their "chosen" people from eastern Europe. In reading about all this I came across Christians that believe all this has been fulfilled and that Christ reigned for 1000 years and as in the end of Revelations, that Satan was loosed for a "short season" on earth.
rev 20:7 7 And when the thousand years are ended, Satan will be released from his prison 8 and will come out to deceive the nations that are at the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea. 9 And they marched up over the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city, but fire came down from heaven and consumed them, 10 and the devil l who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
This would fit in with Heinsohn's revelation about the strata. It also makes sense as the Biblical way of saying this is the time of the Kali Yuga, the age of deception. As far as I can see Christians in general are quite deceived to have their beliefs to coincide with the death culters.
Anyway, I figure someone like you with so much historical knowledge might find this interesting and have better insights than a dum dum as myself.
Take good care
Banjo, I am unable to view youtube videos until late September.
Where most see lineal hockey stick Heaven or Hell I see cycles.
I have looked close enough at the sketches and notes from Troy and Knossos to be convinced that there were multiple cataclysms in Antiquity, at least upon those sites. Troy seems to have been wiped out, burned, abandoned, nine times. In Antiquity it was known that in the generation before Achilles that Herakles had sacked Troy. As for the archeological idea of neatly layered sediments, the ancient literature is problematic as it speaks of disasters and upheavals. Darwin gave up on trying to figure the Andes out because the evidence flew directly against the Theory of Uniformity which was the basis for his Theory of Natural Selection.
I trust Ovid, Homer, Hesiod, Genesis, Job and Virgil when they speak of cycles of ages, of the heavenly powers raging against humanity for our sins and of the hints laid out by the anonymous composers of Gilgamesh and Beowulf who sang the same. I can barely wrap my mind around the life of one conqueror, Alexander, who I am trying to fathom. I do see that we occupy the Age of Iron, or as the cosmic oatmeal cookies would say The Kali Yuga, or Christians the interval whereby Evil Rules on Earth. I would also point out that Job, earliest book of the Bible, speaks of numerous cataclysms and places Evil as the steersman of the world. How long such things take is a scope beyond human, beyond my concern.
I will try this link and tender an opinion about October 1, God willing.
