Last Week Tonight: UK and US museum theft

Museums: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)

(LastWeekTonight) Oct. 2, 2022. John Oliver discusses some of the world’s most prestigious Western museums, why they contain so many stolen goods, the market that continues to illegally trade antiquities, and a pretty solid blueprint for revenge. It's cultural appropriation.

How old is humanity? (video)

Strange Mysteries, 7/17/17; Michael Cremo; Dhr. Seven, Pat Macpherson, Wisdom Quarterly


How old is humanity, REALLY?

These structures are much older than pharaohs.

Working out the true age of humanity isn’t as easy as checking our birth certificate, which must be in Maha Brahma's hands, because the God is like that, always hanging on to keepsakes for its little projects down here on this bhumi. Nor can we count candles on a cake. First of all, we must define what "humanity" (this generation of humans with its princes and people, maras and brahmas, devas and wandering ascetics). Recorded (written) human history only goes back about 5,300 years, because this is when our ancestors first began to use writing systems to document what was going on. Earth’s last glacial period, also known as the Ice Age, lasted from 110,000 years ago to about 11,700 years ago. When did humans first leave Africa to explore the rest of the planet? Was it 200,000 years ago or 300,000 years ago? No. Try 2,000,000 years ago.

Extreme Human Antiquity (Druta Karma)
Michael Cremo (full DVD) via Jedi Knight, Feb. 16, 2018

Over the past two centuries archeologists and anthropologists have ignored, forgotten, and actively suppressed vast quantities of evidence showing that human beings like ourselves have existed on this planet for tens of millions of years. Forbidden Archeology documents a systematic process of "knowledge filtration" and constitutes a serious challenge to the officially taught Darwinian theory of evolution.

"Forbidden Archeologist" Michael A. Cremo discusses evidence for humans of extreme antiquity, as well as his work on ancient giants (asuras, Titans) and vimanas (ancient Vedic flying craft, spacecraft). His books include The Hidden Truth About Human Origins and History and Forbidden Archeology: The Hidden History of the Human Race. Cremo began a series of ancient history books aimed at scholarly and popular audiences. The first to be published was Forbidden Archeology. Over the past two centuries archaeologists have found bones, footprints, and artifacts showing that "modern" humans have been on the planet in advanced civilizations for hundreds of millions of years, in line with Buddhist, Hindu (Vedic/Brahminical), and Jain cosmologies as recorded in the sacred texts of the East.

Why we must destroy the Sphinx and Pyramids!

Al Arabiya; I. Rony, Wisdom Quarterly

These objects of awe and wonder need to be returned to dust; it's God's will (whatafy.com)

   

Murgan Salem al-Gohary (DreamTV)

An Egyptian jihad leader, with self-professed links to the [CIA's] Taliban, called for the “destruction of the Sphinx and the Giza Pyramids in Egypt,” drawing ties between the Egyptian relics and Buddha statues [in Bamiyan, Afghanistan], local media reported this week.

Murgan Salem al-Gohary, an Islamist leader twice-sentenced under former President Hosni Mubarak for advocating violence, called on Muslims to remove such “idols.”

Well, after sleeping on it, let's keep them.

“All Muslims are charged with applying the teachings of Islam to remove such idols, as we did in Afghanistan when we destroyed the Buddha statues,” he said on Saturday during a television interview on an Egyptian private channel, widely watched by Egyptian and Arab audiences.

  

“God ordered Prophet Mohammed to destroy idols,” he added. “When I was with the Taliban we destroyed the statue of Buddha, something the government failed to do.”

His comments came a day after thousands of ultraconservative Islamists gathered in Tahrir Square to call for the strict application of Sharia law in the new constitution.

But in retaliation to Gohary’s remarks, the vice president of Tunisia’s Ennahda party, Sheikh Abdel Fattah Moro, called the live program and told Gohary that famous historic military commander Amr ibn al-Aas did not destroy statues when he conquered Egypt.

“So who are you to do it?” he wondered. “The Prophet destroyed the idols because people worshipped them, but the Sphinx and the Pyramids are not worshiped.”

Gohary, 50, is well-known in Egypt for his advocacy of violence, Egypt Independent reported.

“He was sentenced twice, one of the two sentences being life imprisonment. He subsequently fled Egypt to Afghanistan... In 2007, he traveled from Pakistan to Syria, which then handed him over to Egypt. After Mubarak's fall in early 2011, he was released from prison by a judicial ruling,” the newspaper added. More

Thou Shalt Obey or Else
Pat Macpherson, Seven, Wisdom Quarterly (COMMENTARY)

If it's God's will, who are we to argue? As Holy Book-obeying Christians and Muslims, we must follow leaders like Gohary into battle against these graven images and idols.

  

It's not The God's will, it's His command. (Kinda makes one wonder why He doesn't do it Himself, but who are we to question the almighty star-god?)

  

Monotheisms

And it's not just him. The CIA created the "Taliban" from released prisoners in Pakistan and elsewhere, bringing them to a foreign land that did not practice violent jihad or Wahhabi-ism. What happened to the Buddhas of Bamiyan, Afghanistan, some of the largest in the world, and more recently to Buddhist rock art in Pakistan, is not an aberration of erratic Muslims.

These are staged activities -- staged by the CIA and US military PsyOps -- to infuriate otherwise peaceful bystanders. Why, for what? So that we will turn the other way whatever is done to our Muslim brothers and sisters. When we listen to religious edicts, particularly those of the barbaric Near East, we engage in a history of violence, from religious crusades, to imperial raids, to hegemony, and attempts at world domination.

How? Fear. In fear we kill, less often out of greed, and least often out of hate -- but always, always, co-motivated by delusion.

Whether Mr. Gotary really wants to destroy Egyptian heritage, long the pride of mathematically-amazing Muslims, it is no reason to call for or condone wars and attacks.

  

If propaganda says kill, let live. If propaganda says be afraid, live. Live and let live.

Maybe the CIA or extremist Christians and pious Islamists will demolish all art, particularly those gorgeous Greek nudes. So? That's on them. Stopping the destruction of arts and antiquities never needs to come to violence. Protection is defensive not offensive. Religious extremism is all around us.

The Near East has better reason to fear Judeo-Christian attacks than the West need fear the Near or Middle East.

But we would never know that because the mainstream media and the propaganda arm of our military constantly beats the drum of fear and war until we are ready to sign off on any atrocity -- drones, extrajudicial killings, assassinations, invasions, oil theft, rape, pedophilia, slavery, radioactive poisoning (particularly from the use of "depleted" uranium which is anything but depleted), and secret war crimes and unspeakable crimes against humanity we are not generally made aware of such as purposely contaminating water supplies, bombing hospitals, and worse.

Who built the pyramids? Not slaves (video)

(AP)

Who built the pyramids of Egypt? Slaves working for the space-gods? Pharoahs were demigods, hybrids who mated with the space-gods who came down from the "heavens," mated, ruled, and from time to time brutalized humans. More than that they inspired awe, some fear, devotion, and reverence. This same was shown in Europe and India towards royals with the "divine right" (as regents for space aliens) to rule. Egypt and its former Indiana Jones-like Chief of Antiquities, deposed by the Arab Spring, says tombs discovered in the past few years provide more evidence that slaves did not build the pyramids. Skilled artisans (using unknown technology) did.

(CAIRO) Archaeologists exploring an old military road in the Sinai have unearthed four new temples amidst the 3,000-year-old remains of an ancient fortified city that could have been used to impress foreign delegations visiting Egypt, antiquities authorities announced today.

Among the discoveries was the largest mud brick temple found in the Sinai with an area of 70 by 80 meters (77 by 87 yards) and fortified with mud walls 3 meters (10 feet) thick, said Zahi Hawass, chief of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities.

The find was made in Qantara, 2 1/2 miles (4 kilometers) east of the Suez Canal. These temples mark the latest discovery by archaeologists digging up the remains of the city on the military road known as "Way of Horus." Horus is a falcon-headed god, who represented the greatest cosmic powers for ancient Egyptians. Made>>

Egypt Unveils Ancient Mummy

Egyptian worker holds torch by one of eight revealed sarcophagi inside a 26th Dynasty limestone tomb along with other mummies at the ancient necropolis of Saqqara, south of Cairo, Egypt on 2/11/09. A completely preserved mummy has been unveiled inside limestone sealed around the time of the Buddha, 2,600 years ago, during pharaonic times (AP/Nasser Nasser).

SAQQARA, Egypt – Egypt's chief archaeologist (antiquities chief Zahi Hawass) has unveiled a completely preserved mummy inside a limestone sarcophagus sealed 2,600 years ago during pharaonic times.

The mummy was exposed for the first time Wednesday. It lies in a narrow shaft 36 feet below ground at the ancient necropolis of Saqqara outside of Cairo. It's part of a burial chamber discovered three weeks ago that holds eight wooden and limestone sarcophagi, along with 22 other mummies from the 26th Dynasty — Egypt's last independent kingdom.

Laborers used crowbars to lift the sarcophagus' lid and exposed the linen-wrapped mummy inside. Hawass says the mummies are an important discovery and much of Saqqara has yet to be unearthed.
