[Saudi Aramco World] Saudi Aramco World : Ptolemy's Alexandrian Postscript: The Indian elephant appearing on the reverse, along with the same set of distinctive Greek monograms, identify this as a unique new variety of elephant medallion issued by Alexander himself to commemorate his campaigns in India. (The silver specimens of this series tell the story of the battle against Rajah Porus along the banks of the Hydaspes River in 326 BC, as reported in “Stealing Zeus’s Thunder.”) On each medallion, an Indian elephant provides the subtext for the numismatic narrative, and on one small variety, the pose of the pachyderm closely resembles that on the Mir Zakah gold artifact.

[rogueclassicism] Cleopatra, Arsinoe, and the Implications « rogueclassicism: Also, we do not have Egyptian history on Cleopatra and, many, many things have been exaggerated along with histories completely made up by the Romans to vilify her (as she was a very powerful intelligent woman, who, may have changed the world, at least, recognize her deep desire to keep her kingdom intact and a sovereign nation at all, necessary, costs). I have studied her as well, and, found that her own people desired her rule that they, may have killed her sister (knowing Cleopatra would have done anything to keep Egypt, it’s history, and religion.) Antony may have also been acting on his own, to keep Egypt in his back pocket.

[People & Places | Smithsonian.com] Keepers of the Lost Ark? | People & Places | Smithsonian Magazine: It is a shame that the majority of Ethiopian Christians are of the Monophysite Ethiopian Orthodox Church and not the Ethiopian rite of the Alexandrian Rite of the Catholic Church. (They deny that Christ had two Natures, one Human and one Divine.) It is a worse shame upon humanity that because of the false European "Enlightenment" of the 1700's there is an atheistic skepticism in Western viewers of this article which prevents them from seeing the greater sacred mysteries behind the topics of this article -and consequently what may be accepted from it which is true.

[Temple Institute Ontime] The Temple Institute: The Holy Temple: Temple and Temple Mount News: Inside the synagogue, a stone relief contains a depiction of the seven branched Menorah which stood in the Temple, and which was most likely seen by the artist who sculpted the stone relief.Known depictions of the Menorah from Second Temple times include the famous relief of Titus's Arch in Rome, which shows Roman soldiers taking it away after destroying the Temple, and depictions on contemporary coins as well as graffiti etched into stone in Jerusalem's Jewish Quarter. However, the new find is said to be the first which includes a relief etched by an artist contemporary with the Temple. 

[Guy White: Making Sense On Race] How Black Egyptians crossed the Ethiopian Ocean « Guy White ...: In fact Black Africans are relentlessly called Ethiopians back in that era, and it’s never used to describe Egyptians or North Africans. And you like to leave out the descriptions of the Egyptians which describe them as being quite different to Ethiopians, and of North Africans-I’ve seen you touting some descriptions of some groups as being of all North Africans when I know damn well what the author wrote about North African, and that is that they were white Mediterraneans and have been there about 15,000 years.

[USATODAY.com - On Deadline] Cleopatra: Hot or not? Coin contradicts bard - On Deadline ...: There is a history tale that says the Roman empire, in its pursuit to be number 1, destroyed any traces of African heritage that could have been seen back in those days--from cutting the noses off statues to destroying any coins that originally displayed the true image of African rulers. That coin is no surprise to me.

[One Year Bible Blog] One Year Bible Blog: January 26th One Year Bible Readings: Another powerful thing to note is that Jesus uses this same phrase of I AM and nearly gets stoned to death for sharing this truth in the Gospel of John chapter 8 verses 58 & 59: "“I tell you the truth,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born, I am!” At this, they picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus hid himself, slipping away from the temple grounds." 

[The Spectator.co.uk Melanie Phillips Blog] The Spectator: Israel is defending itself and getting on with the Western way of building an industrious standard of living enhancing democracy, superb housing (visit and check out the lovely architecture) while it's enemies build societies based on shoddy engineering (hence buildings spontaneously collapse every so often, even without an Earthquake), medieval 'laws' and a generally backwards way of life. Surely, and this is why the Americans support Israel (it has nothing to do with oil or territory), because they respect people who don't complain and get on and create or exploit opportunities and thanks to the proven concept of the trickle down economy, employ people of all races or creeds.
