DVD DESCRIPTION: This critically acclaimed documentary explores the 700-year history of [Black] Islamic rule on the Iberian Peninsula [Spain and Portugal]. Although generations of Spanish historians have portrayed the Moors as brutish occupiers, recent research paints a much different picture. The Islamic invaders actually brought stunning advances in science and art to their territories. Oxford-educated historian Bettany Hughes gives modern viewers a rich, nuanced understanding of Islamic history and culture while visiting such sites as the Alhambra Palace and the Great Mosque at Cordoba.

Peru's Paracas Pyramids, south coast

• Mysterious Pyramids on the South Coast of Peru | Watch

Peru is a country in South America, and the Paracas culture apparently left behind many pyramids. How could they have developed the advanced technology to construct them without extraterrestrial assistance, the same as the incredible technological innovations all over and under ancient Egypt?

In fact, the distribution of such marvels worldwide, overland and undersea, is startling and seems to have been covered up, particularly by China and Nubia (modern Sudan).

North Africa and West Asia DNA in Egypt

The largest pyramid in the world is in Mexico (Great Pyramid of Cholula), and Sudan (Pyramids of Meroë) has more pyramids than Egypt. But if there are 200 more in China, or if Bosnia and Indonesia have mountains that are really superannuated pyramids that science is only slowly coming around to admitting to, we have been deceived about the world.

Pyramids found in Poland...and Bosnia?

USA has pyramids, but no one seems to know it.

.

Polish archaeologists have found two megalithic tombs over 5,500 years old that teach us more about the burial practices and engineering abilities of one of Europe’s earliest agricultural societies.

The structures—sometimes called “Polish pyramids” or “giants’ graves” due to their triangular, monumental shape—were uncovered in the village of Wyskoć, in General Dezydery Chłapowski Landscape Park in the Wielkopolska province.

• Pyramid hidden for millennia discovered in snow of Antarctica

The discovery was made by archaeologists from Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań during a field survey regularly conducted using remote sensing technology.

The tombs, whose existence was confirmed through excavations, were constructed by the Funnelbeaker Culture, a Neolithic society characterized by pottery and monumental burials.

The new findings are the second of their kind to be identified in the Wielkopolska region, the first being in 2019. More: archaeologymag.com

History of Africa: Kingdom of Kush (BBC)

Kingdom of Kush: History of Africa with Zeinab Badawi

(BBC News Africa) The BBC World Service is a British public broadcast service. In Episode 4 Zeinab Badawi travels to the African continent and the country of her birth, into the very region of her forefathers and foremothers: northern Sudan, where she sheds light on this little-known aspect of ancient African history, the great Kingdom of Kush.

Ancient Sudan's Nubian pyramids, Meroe

Its kings ruled for many hundreds of years. Indeed, in the eighth century BC they conquered and governed Egypt for the better part of 100 years. Furthermore, Kush was an African superpower.

Its influence extended to the modern-day Middle East [North Africa]. Zeinab visits the best preserved of Sudan’s 1,000 pyramids (aka the Nubian pyramids) and shows how some of the ancient customs of Kush have endured to this day.

Yemen’s Houthis declare WAR on Israel and begin shelling the ethno-state, which will have the effect of drawing in the U.S. and Iran. Lebanon and Hezbollah have missiles, too. The only group which does not is Hamas, and even the El Qassam Brigades may not have anything more than stockpiles with no way to launch them in their defense. This is an extermination by Israel, after all, not a war of commensurate groups or armies.

Free 10-day mindfulness meditation retreat

Ajahn Sona, May 1-10, 2020, Birken Forest, BC; Dhr. Seven, Ananda (DBM), Wisdom Quarterly

Virtual Mindfulness Retreat (1): More than Just Awareness

Scythian/Shakyian Buddha (Gandhara)

(May 1, 2020) What is Buddhist "right mindfulness" or samma-sati? It differs from what psychology and the world in general are now taking the term to mean. It has two main components of attention and acceptance, attending to what is and allowing it to be. We dispassionately watch and observe without getting involved or entangled in the contents. This is right understanding and right effort, parts of the Noble Eightfold Path, of which "right mindfulness" is crucial.

Inner Vision Monday with Meri Ka Ra, Brother Yaw

• AUDIO: Monday, Dec. 29, 1:00 pm at archive.KPFK.org

The meticulous work Mr. Binns from The House of Nijart and his assistant, William Coney, did over the past few months has restored 12 foot monuments of Queen TIYE and Ramses II to their original glory as created by artist Charles Dickson. They are a blessing to the community encouraging many to visit to see themselves, as hoped, depicted in African splendor. - Dr. Meri Ka Ra

Hose of Nijart, Los Angeles

Dr. Ra has an hour (Mondays at 1:00 pm) as part of KPFK's Inner Vision lunch hour programming. Most of the week is taken up Lisa Garr's The Aware Show and an abusive psychologist who uses her time to berate callers. Dr. Ra and various collaborators like Brother Yaw explore the contribution of African culture to the world, particularly in the area of spirituality.

Sadly, Caucasian cultures have systematically undermined, discounted, and/or misappropriated most of these contributions. The latest travesty is Ridley Scott's racist depiction of blacks in "Exodus: Gods and Men," which is set in Africa. They're missing. Jewish slaves are shown building pyramids. And for good reason the film has been banned in some countries as a gross distortion of history. And when asked about his choice in selecting an all white cast, he answered, "Get a life!" Who's going to want to watch a movie with all black people, which is what a film of ancient Egypt would mostly be? Not Hollywood. Hollywood is not interested in telling the actual truth but just a convenient truth as suited to the times. This leaves us all with gross inaccuracies about the Bible, Israel, and other key geopolitical facts.

"Exodus: Gods and Men" - gross cultural misappropriation, racist reinterpretation of history.

Egypt and Israel are in Africa

But all of the amazing work of the pyramid builders with their secret advanced technology, which mingled a human interface with stone and other structures, is the work of Africans on the world's largest continent. William Henry, for example, does not realize his bias. The British archeological explorers, just as they did in India and Afghanistan, could hardly help but elevate themselves and denigrate everyone else. It may have even gone on eventually in ancient Greece, who at first must have been in awe of the accomplishments of a former culture.

Egypt is in Africa

The globe on left shows that Egypt is in Africa, which is a continent (DailyMail.co.uk).

The difference between the rest of Africa and "Israel" is this fence, which looks north onto disputed Sinai. Whether it is Egypt, Jordan, or Israel, it's Africa at the Eilat border (wiki).

There are only adults in this engraving, and the large humanoid creatures with massive heads covered by atef crowns are giants on Earth who came from space or the Sun, ruled, and mated (or combined DNA) with royal families (judahsdaughter).

Pharaoh rulers

Zahi Hawass, the former czar or "Hitler" of Egyptian antiquities for many years, who is not black, perhaps an Arab who conquered this part of Africa, for one reason or another was adamant about keeping Egypt's secrets -- who really built the pyramids (and their real antiquity), connecting tunnels, underground chambers, and the artifacts found within them.

Sumer: ETs often intervene and rule.

Greater things than King Tut's tomb have been found, but either has not made as much of a splash or has not been revealed and widely reported. King Tut was black (and recently shown to be disfigured with a club foot and cleft palate), like all of Egypt (Kemet, the "land of the black" or "black land," named after the inhabitants and the rich alluvial soil in the Blue Nile), which is completely in Africa. Ethiopia (Biblical Kush) was the adjacent kingdom across the strait to land that links with Central Asia and India.

Nile and Israel, Africa, satellite (wiki/NASA/MODIS)

This should be obvious, but few people today have realized or will admit that Palestine/Israel is in Africa. Look at a satellite map rather than a political one.

But there were other "races," notably the reds, yellows, and extraterrestrial giants with massive skulls. Those skulls are available for analysis, and carved on many walls are depictions of the relative size of these visitors and their hybrid offspring. The pharaohs apparently outlived ordinary humans like "heroes of old, men of renown." Timbuktu, Africa, is the site of the first "university" in history, older even than what is thought to be the first, a Buddhist institution in India.

The evidence for a line of Egyptian kings being black will be presented this weekend by Monday's radio guest at the KRST (pronounced kor-esh) Unity Center in Los Angeles. More marvels of Egypt will also be revealed.

Buddhist pyramid temples

Buddha's Light Mountain (Fo Guang Shan) pyramid: When Rev. Master Hsing Yun held the Bodhgaya International Full Ordination in India in 1998, he came to the attention of Kunga Dorje Rinpoche, a Tibetan lama who had been protecting a tooth relic of the Buddha since the destruction of Namgyal Monastery in Tibet during the Chinese Cultural Revolution.

The relic has been authenticated by several Tibetan rinpoches, who advised Kunga Dorje Rinpoche to build a reliquary mound or stupa to house it so that the public could pay their respects and make offerings.

Pyramidal Wat Arun stupa, Bangkok, Thailand

Since he was unable to do so due to old age, he and his advisers reached the consensus to donate the tooth relic to Hsing Yun, believing that he had the means to build such a resting place. The relic was officially escorted to Taiwan on April 8, 1998.

Building plans for the Buddha Memorial Center started immediately, with support from the Taiwanese government. The site is situated immediately adjacent to the main monastery and covers more than 100 hectares.

The complex faces east and is built along a central axial line. Beyond the Welcoming Hall are eight Chinese-styled pagodas on either side of the main avenue leading up to Bodhi Square, about which are statues of the Buddha's main disciples and of the founders of the principal schools of Chinese Buddhism.

This gives onto the Memorial Hall, with its various shrines, including the Jade Buddha Shrine in which the tooth relic is located. Above the hall are four stupas that symbolize the Four Noble Truths.

 

Standing behind but separate from it, there is an enormous 108 meter high seated metal Amitabha Buddha. The center was opened at an international ceremony on Dec. 25 2011 and the first anniversary celebrated on Christmas Day 2012. More

Advice to the Kalamas; Egyptian Tattoos (video)

CC Liu, Seth Auberon, Amber Larson (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly; Ven. Dhammachotika, "Discovering Theravada Buddhism" (fozibertheravadaeng.no.sapo.pt, also in Portuguese)

The Buddha, Afghanistan/Bactria (Boonlieng/flickr)

After advising the Kalamas not to rely upon established tradition, abstract reasoning [logic based on unquestioned assumptions, personal preferences, sacred texts], or charismatic gurus, the Buddha proposes to them a teaching that is immediately visible, verifiable, and capable of laying a firm foundation for a life of virtue that purifies the heart/mind.

He shows that whether or not there are lives to come after the death of the present one, a life of virtuous restraint and of loving-kindness (metta, friendliness) and active-caring (karuna, compassion) for all living beings brings its own intrinsic rewards here and now -- a happiness and sense of inward security far superior to the unstable pleasures that can be won by violating ethical principles or indulging the mind/heart in its shortsighted craving for sensual desires.
 

The British Museum (britishmuseum.org)

For those who are not concerned to look any further, who are not prepared to adopt any convictions about a future life or existences beyond the present one, such a teaching will ensure their present welfare and their safe passage to a pleasant [human or kama-loka-deva] rebirth -- provided they do not succumb to the pernicious wrong view of denying karmic causality or any afterlife state.

 

However, for those whose vision is capable of widening to encompass the broader horizons of this present existence, the teaching given to the Kalamas points beyond its immediate implications to the very core of the Dharma.

The three states examined and questioned by the Buddha -- greed, hate, and delusion -- are not merely the basis of misconduct or defiled virtue staining the heart and obscuring the mind.

Within this teaching's framework they are the root defilements -- the primary causes of all bondage and suffering -- and the entire practice of the Dharma can be viewed as the task of uprooting these harmful factors by developing to perfection their antidotes: dispassion, kindness, and wisdom.

So a priest, a rabbi, an imam, and a monk walk into a bar...to convert Atheists. Coming soon to Turkish TV.

Religion in the Middle East is not exciting enough, so the television station Kanal T in Istanbul, Turkey, is preparing a reality game show for September release: Ten certified Atheists try to resist conversion by a Catholic priest, a Jewish rabbi, a Muslim imam, and a Buddhist monk. The exact rules have not been disclosed, but the "winning" convert will receive an all-expense-paid trip to the "holy land" of the most persuasive religion (the Vatican, Jerusalem, Mecca, or Tibet). According to a July 2009 Reuters' report, Turkey's Islamic Religious Affairs Directorate has, not surprisingly, vowed never to co-operate.
