The Great Heresy!


For as long as Christianity has existed, there have been heretics, and possibly even before Christianity existed, because there were already those who knew a damn site more about Jesus than Paul did, and they had formed there own church in Egypt. They consisted of, possibly some of the disciples, friends, family and associates of Jesus. You may well ask why the church formed by those individuals did not succeed where the Roman church was able. Well, in the main, the Egyptian church was a Jewish church which regarded Jesus as a prophet but a man neverthless, whereas the Roman church had deified Jesus Christ, elevating him to the position of the son of God. Did Jesus ever claim to be such, yes he did, but facing a stoning changed it to be "we are all the sons of God".

The new Roman church could not have a rival church, claiming a different "truth", and so heresy was born. Heretics were people who held the same beliefs, but may have held alternative views regarding scripture or religious doctrine. You only need to read Umberto Eco's "The Name of the Rose" to get a feel for how easy it was to be branded a heretic, where the issue of whether Jesus ever laughed takes on enormous significance. Of course it isn't enough that a heretic should burn to death for being a heretic, they must also confess their crimes under torture, and be tortured until they do confess, for confessing or not confessing, either way being accused of heresy was usually a death sentence.

Throughout the intervening centuries, the Roman church has purused relentlessly any sect or group which has threatened alternative concepts of Christianity, and especially where the enormous wealth of the Roman church was threatened. Any sect or cult proclaiming that poverty should be observed were dealt with most harshly.

With the arrival of "Witchcraft" in the Middle Ages, heresy took on a new meaning, as the Roman church had always despised women anyway, and because fear of the devil coupled with superstitious beliefs (especially among the peasantry) were very successful in drawing the masses into church. Over 1 million women are thought to have been executed for Witchcraft in the Middle Ages, most of whom were probably the victims of jealous neighbours.

Another major stop for the Roman church's blood frenzy was South America. When Cortes and his men saw the Aztec religion in action, it was not the sacrifices and violence that offended them, it was the striking similarity between the Aztec religion and Catholicism. That was the driving force for a purge of the Aztecs, it was clearly heresy at its worst. Almost certainly, the priests in the retinue of Cortes would have made it immediately plain what they thought should be done about it.

The Dogon and Nommo from Sirius !




Those are Dogon tribesmen of Mali in West Africa! Strange outfits they're wearing, no? And that is where they live! Their religious beliefs are extremely complex and centre around spirit entities they call the Nommo.


The most bizarre thing about the Dogon is, when the first white men encountered them in the 1930's they quickly realised that the Dogon myths were mainly in connection with the Sirius star system, and surprisingly the Dogon possessed knowledge of Sirius and its Moons far in advance of what was known at that time.


Take a look at the masks, think about the astronomical knowledge. Clearly the Dogon tribe experienced an event in their distant past, which they rationalised as best they could. Remember what I said about Ezekiel, and consider that the Dogon apparently came from Egypt where astronomy was of immense importance. It seems that many cultures based their deities on what appeared to them to be the divine. Principally, if it comes down from the sky and therefore the heavens, then it must be a God! We would call them extraterrestrials nowadays, but that concept was alien to ancient peoples (pardon the pun)!

Vitirfied Forts - Testimony to Ancient Air-Power !

The photograph above shows an aerial view of the ancient fort found at Tap o'Noth, near Rhynie, in North East Scotland. OK, the fort was destroyed a long time ago, as is clearly evident from the image. Consider this though, the rock that formed the fort has been vitrified, that is to say it has melted and become fused together, so that it is a solid lump. They say that there are over 100 such forts scattered across Europe, but more than half are found in Scotland, particularly Northern Scotland (where I'm conveniently situated!).

Scientific tests have demonstrated that in order to achieve the effect of vitrification on the rock, temperatures of over 1,100 *C are required. You think that it's possible that a conventional fire caused that? Unlikely, no, impossible. So many theories have been postulated for why the process of vitrifation occured, many assuming it was intended by the fort builders. That's plainly idiotic. The evidence clearly suggests that the vitrified forts were subjected to some form of incendiary assault, most likely of the airborne variety. That's impossible though isn't it? Ancient peoples never possessed the ability to fly, did they?

And., so we arrive at the crux of it. If you subject ancient texts and archeological finds to scrutiny, there is a great deal to suggest that at least several ancient races possessed flying machines, and yes, weaponry to go with them. I'm thinking specifically with regards to the Vedic culture of India, the Mahabharata, and their Vimanas! Dammit, they even have manuals for constructing flying machines and how to operate them. But clearly, since anything that appears in historical texts, which we find ourselves unable to believe, then gets calssified as mythology, and is perpetuated as such.

I on the other hand, suspect that most myths handed down to us, spring from historical reality, and that modern society is so blinkered, it refuses to believe that mankind might have reached a technological crest in ancient times. Take the Egyptian King Lists for example. It was long-believed that they were a largely fictional work, until corroboration was found inside an ancient tomb. The evidence proved that the kings from the first dynasty onwards, who appeared in the list, had really existed. But, the list also describes a 10,000 year period before those kings, in which Egypt was ruled by a series of Demi-gods, also preceded by the real Egyptian Gods, Osiris, Isis et al.

Historians, then decided that the pre-dynastic rulers on the list were mythological characters, because, obviously they couldn't have existed (but the dynastic rulers were now acceptable). That is the arrogance we possess in this age. We think that unimaginable things cannot have been. Well, what if those lists are in fact 100% accurate? What if the Egyptians never embraced the modern trend of making stuff up, or exaggerating?

And what if some evidence turns up to prove that the Egyptian Gods were real, phyiscal beings?
They'll cover it up, that's what! In fact, it might be happening already. The Egyptian aracheologists under Zahi Hawass were certainly keen to get foreign archaeologists out of the country recently, when various alternative suggestions for Egyptian history were being postulated. They like their history the way it is thank you, and no-one is going to get the opportunity to find evidence which might suggest an alternative hypothesis!
