I could never thank Dr. Oscar Noel Ocho enough, for his encouragement, propelling me to begin producing my works. 2 It is said - behind every great man, is a woman. Behind every body is a woman, a Mother. Ourstory raises the Mother. Two enduring revelations of this work: (1) Ethiopia is indeed Atlantis as proven, or (2) Historical facts behind the proof are inaccurate. 3 Know Yourself! Let your light shine so bright, others follow you out of the dark! 4 Ourstory, For Our Children Story 2 - Ethiopia is Atlantis! Copyright 2020, George Mac D Lynch First Edition. All rights reserved Free for non-profit purposes only You can email me Unless explicitly stated differently, all emphases are mine. 5 Telling Ourstory To Our Children! Naked Truth Truth decides she will have a bath, Goes to the beach for an early start. Drops her clothes upon the ground, Thinking no one else, is around. Lie is hiding in the bushes nearby. “Got to have her clothes”, that’s no lie. Grabs the clothes, heads down the street, Disguised as truth, to all she meets. Truth takes off, “I’ll confront this Lie”. “Let’s see if she has, an alibi.” Steals my clothes? What the hell she means? What? She wants to create 6 A frigging scene? Lie is mingling, in the crowd. People partying, singing out loud. Truth comes ‘round the corner, Emanating her glare, People astonished, begin to stare. Lie is uneasy, fidgets a lot. People are thinking, 'she’s feeling hot'. As truth gets closer, as can be, Blinded by her beauty, People just can’t see. People are in discomfort. This glare is a brute. But Lie is affected most, Cringing from the Naked Truth. Afruikan people, let us begin Revealing the truth to our children, Nurturing them to accurately define what's within! For if we don't tell them, who else will? And if we don't tell them now, when will we begin? We hold the key in the palm of our hand. Let's use it! Let us make that stand! 7 We are Ethiopia's Babies! 8 Ethiopian black The majority of Afruikans in the Diaspora Really don't know who they are. The majority of Afruikans in the rest, They may seem a little more blessed. I've found this is not necessarily the case, Our Story of Afruika, Ourstory laid to waste. We've been doped by the racist white-man, Faking a story he will never understand. He is not equipped. Cannot qualify. He cannot possess ancestral memory, Regardless of how he tries. Afruikans themselves, Make the significant number. The majority of that number Must never fail to remember, The creation of humankind, and The origin of civilization, Began in Ethiopia. There's no ancient country, going way back, Whose ancestors were not Afruikan black. In ancient times, I'm sharing this fact, Our whole world ... was Ethiopian black. 9 Previously, in the Poetry Without Borders series Work 1 - Sunrise Work 2 - Passion and Pain Work 3 - Who Are We?

Praise Almighty Yah, Yahweh, and Yahshua, Leading ancestors who have been our saviors. To my lovelies, wife Joanne, and my sister June, Son Emery, daughter Candace, she's gone too soon. To June's family, Our Diamonds, Egypt, my simple plea, To all the people who have been sharing their joy with me, To all my beautiful supporters, both here, and over the seas. Almighty Yah has been inspiring and directing whatever we do. To share with Our Children/Diamonds that they share too. If they feel to stop, encourage them, impale that notion. We must fulfill our journey, completing our portion. In our hands lie the keys, our perfect solutions, Working it real even while standing in motion. This is my pure and warm family dedication, To all the Afruikans working together, to rebuild our nation. Keeping our eyes on our prize, we shall never miss our vision. 11 Acknowledgment Here I am, delightfully acknowledging: The people who have been contributing, Ea/Yaa/Yah, my ancestors, and others On whose shoulders I've been standing. Our Afruikan Study Group: Jubutt, Sylvester, Joanne, Jameison, Ingrid Walker, Justin, Kaelon, Lloyd, Shedron Springer, Ancil, Johnny, Mellissa, Michael, Shaquilla, To our authors gone, Yah made the call For good work they have done, one and all. To those who passed through and did not wait, Theirs was a matter of re-directional faith. Special thanks: Prof. Nana Banchie Darkwah For "The Africans Who Wrote The Bible", the bible factor. Just as special for Michael Tsarion, For permission to use his work, as I journey on. Special thanks to Dr. Misgun Kahsu, my Ethiopian sister. Ditto for T&T George Joseph - 'Umbala'. Same goes to Sobonfu for insights on the Dagara, Ditto for realhistoryww.com, and Kasala Kamara. May Almighty Yah continue to pour Blessings upon them, whether near or far. May their generations also be blessed, Regardless of where they are. To those who responded not when I reached out, I wish your names were here in my acknowledgment, The significance and importance it will have meant. 12 Preface The truth you find in this work will positively astound you! Gaining satisfaction, please make this gift to the world go viral. Many established historical references are provided which undoubt‐ edly say, Ethiopia is Atlantis. I immediately offer one such reference for consideration and analysis, as we prepare to begin. The great Ethiopian or Cushite Empire, which in the earliest ages pre‐ vailed, as Mr. Rawlinson says," from the Caucasus to the Indian Ocean, from the shores of the Mediterranean to the mouth of the Ganges," was the empire of Dionysos the empire of "Ad," the empire of Atlantis, p.278 - Donnelly. How could such a bold statement, the great Ethiopian or Cushite Empire was the empire of Atlantis, be made without popular dispute or contention? For over 138 years, has Donnelly's statement ever been proven untrue? If there is no disproof or doubt, shouldn't it therefore be safe enough to repeat the gist of what Donnelly is say‐ ing - The great Ethiopian or Cushite Empire, was the empire of Atlantis. If no one has been able to prove what Donnelly said un‐ true, and no countries have been known to share empire, the only way the great Ethiopian or Cushite Empire can be the empire of At‐ lantis is when they are the same people. It must be therefore ac‐ cepted that Ethiopia is Atlantis! I offer more of the numerous parallels which undoubtedly say Ethiopia is Atlantis. Not only is the immediate following offered as a parallel, it is also proof of Poseidon's (sea-god) ethnicity: Ancient Africans yoked the wild ox, tamed the cow, the horse and sheep, p.56 - Houston. Poseidon, the first king of Atlantis ... "He was the first to train and em‐ ploy horses" that is to say, his people first domesticated the horse, p.304 - Donnelly. 13 Poseidon, Neptune, is represented in Greek mythology as a sea-god, p.25 - Donnelly. A study of the images of ancient deities of both the Old and New Worlds re‐ veal their Ethiopic origin, p.16 - Jackson. Ethiopia and Egypt produced the earliest civilization in the world and it was indigenous ... there is nothing beyond Egypt and Ethiopia but Africa", p.599 - Massey. The god Bel of the legend was the Baal of the Phoenicians, who, as we shall show, were of Atlantean origin, p.83 - Donnelly. M. de Bohn tells us in Early Cushite Navigation, that the Cushite Ethiopians in primitive ages were a commercial people. It was due to their conquest of the sea that they so early covered three continents with colonies. With their ships they had in ancient days circumnavigated the globe, bequeathing maps, charts, and nautical instruments to their cousins and successors the Phoenicians, who called themselves Ethiopians, p.169 - Houston. Bel, with his "Atlantean origin" was therefore the god of Ethiopians, an Ethiopian god. How else could an ancient Atlanean god be the god of Ethiopians, unless Ethiopia is Atlantis! And just in case, the Phoenicians, who, as we shall show, were of Atlantean origin, were both Ethiopians and Atlanteans. This clearly indicates Ethiopia is Atlantis! Making a Difference After you have read this work which demonstrates Ethiopia is At‐ lantis, chances are you may assume one of two basic positions. (1) Ethiopia is indeed Atlantis, and thus the historical references are ac‐ curate. (2) The historical evidence is inaccurate, thus destroying the proof of Ethiopia being Atlantis. Regardless of which position is ac‐ cepted, logically, I assume there will be encouragement for the perti‐ nent revision of history. Sometimes, we do not feel brave enough to be explicitly desirous of a needed change. We sometimes join other people's conversation, in pursuit. But we are not brave enough to ini‐ tiate the process to identify the needed change and start the proce‐ 14 dure, by ourselves. A simple approach could be of tremendous worth. Open an account, using a pseudo-name if preferred, on a rep‐ utable forum. Start your conversation. I urge you please, send a copy of this work to as many people as you practically can. If the need arises, help them to understand.

    Strategies of Defending Astrology: a Continuing Tradition

    Strategies of Defending Astrology: A Continuing Tradition by Teri Gee A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology University of Toronto © Copyright by Teri Gee (2012) Strategies of Defending Astrology: A Continuing Tradition Teri Gee Doctorate of Philosophy Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology University of Toronto 2012 Abstract Astrology is a science which has had an uncertain status throughout its history, from its beginnings in Greco-Roman Antiquity to the medieval Islamic world and Christian Europe which led to frequent debates about its validity and what kind of a place it should have, if any, in various cultures. Written in the second century A.D., Ptolemy’s Tetrabiblos is not the earliest surviving text on astrology. However, the complex defense given in the Tetrabiblos will be treated as an important starting point because it changed the way astrology would be justified in Christian and Muslim works and the influence Ptolemy’s presentation had on later works represents a continuation of the method introduced in the Tetrabiblos. Abû Ma‘shar’s Kitâb al- Madkhal al-kabîr ilâ ‘ilm ahk. âm al-nujûm, written in the ninth century, was the most thorough surviving defense from the Islamic world. Roger Bacon’s Opus maius, although not focused solely on advocating astrology, nevertheless, does contain a significant defense which has definite links to the works of both Abû Ma‘shar and Ptolemy. As such, he demonstrates another stage in the development of astrology.

    Cosmological Narrative in the Synagogues of Late Roman-Byzantine Palestine

    COSMOLOGICAL NARRATIVE IN THE SYNAGOGUES OF LATE ROMAN-BYZANTINE PALESTINE Bradley Charles Erickson A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Religious Studies. Chapel Hill 2020 Approved by: Jodi Magness Zlatko Plese David Lambert Jennifer Gates-Foster Maurizio Forte © 2020 Bradley Charles Erickson ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Bradley Charles Erickson: Cosmological Narrative in the Synagogues of Late Roman-Byzantine Palestine (Under the Direction of Jodi Magness) The night sky provided ancient peoples with a visible framework through which they could view and experience the divine. Ancient astronomers looked to the night sky for practical reasons, such as the construction of calendars by which time could evenly be divided, and for prognosis, such as the foretelling of future events based on the movements of the planets and stars. While scholars have written much about the Greco-Roman understanding of the night sky, few studies exist that examine Jewish cosmological thought in relation to the appearance of the Late Roman-Byzantine synagogue Helios-zodiac cycle. This dissertation surveys the ways that ancient Jews experienced the night sky, including literature of the Second Temple (sixth century BCE – 70 CE), rabbinic and mystical writings, and Helios-zodiac cycles in synagogues of ancient Palestine. I argue that Judaism joined an evolving Greco-Roman cosmology with ancient Jewish traditions as a means of producing knowledge of the earthly and heavenly realms. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to express my sincere appreciation to my adviser, Dr.

Works Cited Berry 1 Preface: This is a study about a particular expression of Asatru otherwise known as Odinism. This is a neo-Pagan revival of ancient Norse traditions drawn primarily from the Eddas and Sagas. What is important to mention before reading this study, as I was reminded by a Pagan I met at a recent conference, is that not all people who follow this path of expression are racially motivated or oriented. This is a particularly sensitive point for many Pagans who are already a religious minority. The concern she had was that Pagans may face further discrimination if people see them as racists. The differentiation between racialist and non--racialist Odinists will be expressed in the body of the paper.

"Like all bibliographies, this one is far from complete," so the author states. Among items omitted are books on cow­ boy songs, poetry, dairying, cattle diseases, breeding "and such subjects" except that the last two categories have a few representative items. All states west of the Mississippi River have listings except Louisiana, Iowa and Minnesota -Arkansas has one. During the years of labor on this publication, the author traveled from coast to coast visiting libraries and book shops, but he does not mention any depositories in the northern Plains states, the Pacific Northwest, Nevada, Utah and New Mexico. The Arizona listings include reports of Territorial gover­ nors from 1881 to 1911 with few exceptions, but none are listed for Colorado or Montana and only one for New Mexico. n may be that those for Arizona are important in the annals of the cattle history, but surely there is comparable informa­ tion in similar reports for other territories that had a sig­ nificant part of the range cattle industry.

  • ATLANTIS RISING T H E V a G E N E W W O R L D O R D E R the Last Voyage of the Space Shuttle Atlantis’ Occurred on JULY 8Th, 2011

    ATLANTIS RISING T H E V A G E N E W W O R L D O R D E R The last voyage of the Space Shuttle Atlantis’ occurred on JULY 8th, 2011. This last flight closed off the Shuttle Program in America. There seems to be some correlations amongst the possible meaning behind its symbol, flight number and Name. This is in reference to an Astro-Archeological point of view and the history of the Lost Continent of Atlantis. It is interesting and unusual that the Shuttle Program ends with the name “Atlantis” and its last Number flight is 33. Many see America/USA as the successor to Atlantis of the pre- diluvian Age. Perhaps it is a marker of things to come and the end of America as well. Could an Extension Level Event help usher in a ‘New World Order’ as it did after Atlantis was destroyed? It is mythology that the destruction of Atlantis was caused by a supposed fly-by of Planet Nibiru. IF it is assumed that the Planet X in question does indeed have a 3600-year orbital cycle, not only would it place the Flood Event at around 5000BC but it would be due for a rendezvous with Earth again in the coming years. 33°66′ 33°43′ POSEIDON, KING OF ATLANTIS 4-Hwinged horse Chariot at Temple POSSIBLE TIMELINE IS ONLY SUGGESTIVE BC 5000 4500 4000 3500 3000 2500 2000 1500 1000 500 1 500 1000 1500 2000 AD | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 3500 YEARS 3500 YEARS 1981 1983 1984 1985 1992 2011 HISTORICAL ATLANTIS?
