Having a good time...22:53 Jan 13 2008

It's funny how I've never really had someone to investigate my researches and ideas with on a level of shared interest and capability.
Having someone that is willing to invest their time and bring their own knowledge and perspective into a hypothesis, makes all the difference.
This weekend, we started from an idea of mine regarding the Libyan desert and the potential for a paleolithic culture to have existed in what is now the Sahara desert, before they migrated to pre-dynastic Egypt/Sudan and the Nile valley.
It moved on from there and sort of evolved as a discussion, until we hit some lovely moments of understanding and connected a lot of dots.
There are a number of supporting pieces of information for this, in particular the Aterian type tool makers, who were spread over the entirety of North Africa around 40,000 - 30,000 BCE, who developed with an overlapping culture known as the Khormusan.
The Aterians were primarily a loose hunter gatherer society, where the Khormusan were much more agrarian and likely centered around permanent settlements. This would explain why their tools became much more sophisticated and specialised over the interlapping centuries.
A few more distinct methods grew out of this time, until around 10,000 BCE, the Qadan Industrial method showed signs of intensive farming tools, but suddenly stopped, with climate change being the supposed reason.
At this time, what is now the Saharan region began to change from rolling lush hills, to arid sand.
Interestingly, the same Qadan industry type reappeared during the Epipaleolithic period, when migration to the Nile delta is first identified.
Around this time, there is significant evidence that contemporary civilisations, such as those in Mesopotamia had developed similar methods, as well as ritualised burials.
Egyptian explorer Ahmed Hassanein found prehistoric rock drawings at Uweinat, during a remarkable journey where he discovered two lost Oases in the Libyan desert, not far south of where the mysterious Libyan desert glass can be found.
Moving into the Dynasties of Egypt, there come the Pyramids, mysterious and enigmatic, with many theories as to their construction. The most famous of which are those at Giza, built in the period around 2500 BCE.
It's well known that these and other massive projects were undertaken at the command of the Pharaohs, who saw themselves as the living embodiment of Horus.
The term Pharaoh in regards to a person was not however used until the reign of Amenhotep IV (Akhenaten), who was infamous for his attempted reforms of the Egyptian religious order and, father to Tutankhamen (originally named Tutankhaten).
When Akhenaten attained the throne of Egypt, he set in motion a series of events that are most famously recorded in the Old Testament book of Exodus- that of Moses and the Israelite journey out of Egypt and into the desert for forty years.
Prior to this by several generations, but perhaps as few as two, Joseph, the son of Jacob and one of the Sires of the twelve tribes of Israel, petitioned the Egyptian Hyksos king for the right of his tribe to come into Egypt, in order to escape from a famine in the land of Canaan.
There is some dispute as to which king and which time period this occurred at, but the many Semitic references to Hyksos make them the rulers at the time by the accepted majority.
Joseph's tribe settled in an area in the east of the Nile delta called Goshen, where they had many years of prosperity, before a new King came to the throne who did not uphold the deal Joseph had done and forced the Israelites into slavery, prompting the Exodus.
Alongside this, was the position of Moses, who had been adopted into the Egyptian royal family and risen to a place of prominence.
Some debate then is brought out by the relation of Moses to Amenhotep IV, where they may be one and the same person. The monotheistic concept of one God was entirely an Israelite idea at that time and when Amenhotep IV, who became Akhenaten, tried to move the capital of the Egyptian kingdom and change the system of worship from the many to this one God, he was rejected by the priests and a popular revolt began.
With no other choice, the Israelites had to leave and Moses would have been the most appropriate choice to lead them. Taking them out into the Sinai peninsula, they traveled with the people of the moon, the worshipers of the Goddess Hathor, one of the oldest and most significant of deities in the Egyptian pantheon, to a temple complex dedicated to her at Serabit el-Khadim.
Hathor, the heavenly cow, was the personification of the 'milky way', a curious term, since the concept of the galaxy was not what this referred to, but actually a literal source of milky fluid from the heavens (sky).
Horus, whom the Kings of Egypt were the embodiment of, was her Son and Ra, the sun God, was her husband.
When Moses arrived at the temple, he had the Ark of the Covenant with him, which has many legends and theories surrounding it. What can be widely accepted, is that it was a dangerous item, whether a weapon or not.
Stories also tell of Moses' staff being used in a number of instances as a powerful weapon. One idea purports that both of these were made of superconductive material.
Further to this, it is said that the Israelite 'Manna', or honeyed bread, was also a semiconductor fluid- a viscous milky substance which was eaten by those who would use the Ark, so that they would be resistant to the Arks 'power'.
One hypothesis is that the Ark generated a Meissner Field, leading to a Diamagnetic levitation effect, which might be one possible explanation for the movement of the building blocks of the Pyramids and other buildings.
One problem here is that if a person enters into the area of the Meissner Field, a collapse in the flux occurs and the field suddenly has a voltage, which allows the amps to be expelled into that person, killing them. There are a few references in the Old Testament where people have died from touching the Ark.
However, if a person had been imbibing a fluid which was superconductive, they not only might be able to integrate and cause minimal disruption to the field, but they would be insulated against electrical charge.
The fluid, would have been composed of water mixed with Orbitally Rearranged Monoatomic Elements, or the White Powder of Gold (although any precious metal could be effective).
This powder is not water-soluble and creates a milky white fluid when mixed.
Also called The Golden Tear from the Eye of Horus, or “That which issues from the mouth of the creator.” The similarity in concept to Hathor's milk and Horus as mentioned, are intriguing.
When in the desert for forty years, Moses and his people ate of this 'Manna' every day and survived on a meagre subsistence, giving rise to it's mythic properties as the Elixir of Life.
The Jewish religious group known as the Essenes are said to have retained this knowledge of how to prepare the Manna, having descended from the people of Moses and settled in the area known as Qumran on the shores of the Dead Sea.
This is the place where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found just sixty years ago, which contained many documents contemporary with the time of Jesus, who's mother Mary, was thought to be Essene, based on a Bible notation that when she fell pregnant by the Angel and was told that she would give birth to the Messiah, she visited her relative and mother to John the Baptist in the land of the Essenes.
Many theories and suppositions surround the man Jesus and range from the religious to the ridiculous. For the purposes of our investigation, we supposed that Jesus existed and that he was a man, who ws given this Manna, or Elixir of Life, as were the Kings of Egypt for millenia before him and also the priests of Egypt and the Israelites.
