Well it's all right. Run around

Maybe it isn't you please, Well
it's all right in the face you can

00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:36.280
Well, it's so right, as
long as you London, and you can

4
00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:43.600
sit around and wait for the fall
a ring, waiting for someone to tell

5
00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:55.320
you everything, sit around and wonder
what your marbles maybe that, Well,

6
00:00:55.399 --> 00:01:02.880
it's all right. You even neve
to say your will and all right.

7
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:10.159
Sometimes you gotta the strong. Well, it's fall all right, as long

8
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:15.359
as you get someone to lay with
its fall all right. Every day it's

9
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:26.959
just mostair. Maybe somewhere down the
road, Wayne you think of be the

10
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:36.239
wonder where I am these day?
Maybe somewhere down the road when somebody plays

11
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:47.239
purple, it's fall. Even when
roots close your sholf, it's fall right

12

everyb somehouse. But it's fall right
ever then over. But it's all right,

13
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:06.560
going to the end of the list. Don't have to be ashamed of

14
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:15.639
the car rap. I'm just glad
to be here, happy to feel that.

15
00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:25.000
It don't matter if you're badasstp satscrap, Well, it's all all right.

16
00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:30.800
Even if you're own and great,
Well, it's all all right.

17
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:40.080
You still get something to say,
but it's all right. Remember delivingly weird

18
00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:50.719
far right, but the confused skill, Well it's fall all right, right

19
00:02:50.800 --> 00:03:01.319
and around please weirds fright you please? Well it's all all right, even

20
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:29.080
shine going to the end of the
side. Yah, good morning everyone,

21
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:39.280
How are you okay? So that
was it was a nice introduction today.

22
00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:55.400
Very great song. Put you in
a good mood. Now let's get into

23
00:03:55.479 --> 00:04:01.360
a couple of things. Oh,
it's gonna be a long one, but

24
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:13.599
yeah, for sure, for sure, Poka, it's one of the best

25
00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:21.120
songs I ever made. Okay,
And when you catch that when you're driving,

26
00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:27.000
it's awesome driving along the strip.
He's like, yeah, that's great.

27
00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:35.399
All right, So let's get started. There's a couple of things that

28
00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:41.000
Josh had posted on his sub stack. Oh and by the way, everyone,

29
00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:44.279
I don't know. I've never heard
of him until he got shot,

30
00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:48.600
but apparently he was. He was
popular rest in Peace folio who apparently was

31
00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:56.360
a rapper and uh, I guess
he was. He playing off the name

32
00:04:56.439 --> 00:05:02.519
coolio I Jiulio fulio I have no
freaking clue, but it's kind of valent

33
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:06.600
dude. And he got killed on
his birthday in holiday in or something like

34
00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:14.639
that. It's all over rumble of
all places. But yeah, I'm sure

35
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:17.480
we're all very sad, so let's
move on. Let's have a moment for

36
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:21.759
that, and then we'll move on. Gangster's doing gangster shit. So all

37
00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:27.519
it is, uh, let's go
to this one first. I think this

38
00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:32.079
is interesting. We're gonna listen to
the Jim Jordan. I think his name

39
00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:39.399
is Quick. So this happened,
I guess June fourteenth, which would be

40
00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:43.480
my dad's birthday. It's also Flag
Day. I can't I can't imagine why

41
00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:48.279
they picked that day to do some
shit like this, but it gets ridiculous

42
00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:54.120
after a while. All right,
let's hit play. Here. At F

43
00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:58.000
agents in full swat gear approached the
front door. I had a piece of

44
00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:01.120
tape ready to cover the camera lens
of the door camera, which they did.

45
00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:05.600
Next, Missus Malanowski heard only a
loud crash as her front door caved

46
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:11.399
in. This Brian Malanowski story is
wild and it makes me feel like maybe

47
00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:14.600
the ATF is the bad guy.
Check this out. Her husband Brian woke

48
00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:19.439
up. Maybe is the bad guy? Okay, buddy, all right,

49
00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:23.680
catch up the rest of the world. To the sound of the crash,

50
00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:27.439
found a pistol, loaded a magazine, and left the bedroom to investigate.

51
00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:32.560
Brian warned his wife to stay behind
in the bedroom, but Mayor stubbornly followed

52
00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:39.000
him down the hallway. ATF apparently
killed electricity to the home. The front

53
00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:43.360
room was usually well lit at night, but Missus Malanowski saw only darkness as

54
00:06:43.399 --> 00:06:46.519
she peered down towards the front entryway. She could only see shadowy outlines of

55
00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:50.920
presumed home invaders standing in her front
hallway. That's what Brian saw too.

56
00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:56.560
Brian fired a few shots at the
intruder's feet to drive them back out of

57
00:06:56.600 --> 00:07:00.519
the front door. The ATF shot
Brian in the head. His wife was

58
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:05.439
standing inches away from him a mere
fifty seven seconds. Fifty seven seconds he

59
00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:11.680
lapsed from the time agents covered the
doorbell camera until gunshots erupted and Brian was

60
00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:17.040
fatally wounded six two forty six to
six SOHO three forty three. Agents immediately

61
00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:21.759
dragged Missus Malanowski into the front yard. She was barefoot, wearing minimal night

62
00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:26.079
clothing, and the temperature was thirty
four degrees. They locked her in the

63
00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:30.639
backseat of a car and detained her
there for four hours. Refusing her many

64
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:33.759
requests to check on her husband,
wouldn't allow her to get close or even

65
00:07:33.879 --> 00:07:39.040
use the neighbor's bathroom, even though
policies have been in place at both the

66
00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:43.519
ATF and the Little Rock Police Department
for the past three years. Where Gear

67
00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:47.519
approached the front door, I don't
know why it restarted because everything's sabotage,

68
00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:53.519
but yeah, yeah, Little Rock. It was the point I was trying

69
00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:55.959
to make there. But let's see
if I can get back to where we

70
00:07:55.959 --> 00:08:00.480
were right about husband wouldn't allow her
to get close or even use who's the

71
00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:05.120
neighbor's bathroom? Even though policies have
been in place at both the ATF and

72
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:09.199
the Little Rock Police Department for the
past three years requiring the use of body

73
00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:13.680
worn cameras when executing any search warrant. The Department of Justice tells us that

74
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:18.759
no body cameras were used. Of
course not. They cover up. This

75
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:22.160
isn't the weaponization of government. I
don't know what is okay. So there's

76
00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:26.439
that, and then this is pretty
much the transcript here at the bottom.

77
00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:31.279
But this is from josh Who News
and you'll find that on this is his

78
00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:37.240
sub stack. This is josh who
created joshu TV. He's actually works with

79
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:41.720
speak fore Radio, which is awesome, awesome, good friend of mine,

80
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:46.879
knowing him for a long time,
and I was one of the early signers

81
00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:52.200
on and users of his awesome website, joshutv dot com for as long as

82
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:54.919
it survived, which was seven years. It was a great, great place,

83
00:08:54.360 --> 00:09:01.679
best video player I've ever seen on
any website or video sharing and he

84
00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:05.960
did all that himself. So anyway, by the way, Speak for You

85
00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:11.279
Radio, Good morning everybody out there. I want to remind everybody that you

86
00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:15.720
can always go to money Tree Publishing
dot com and check out what they have

87
00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:20.840
to offer there. There's a bunch
of books, DVDs, blu rays and

88
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:26.519
information to help educate yourself, wake
people up, including maybe educating yourself and

89
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:28.919
stuff like that. But the sharing
of the information is what matters, and

90
00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:33.879
you'll find it there. If you
use code BAA L you'll get what I

91
00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:37.720
believe is a ten percent discount as
well. Okay, And also there's ways

92
00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:45.480

hosts, and that's what keeps us
alive. All right, there you go,

94
00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:56.960
Let's see what's the next one.
Okay, so this one's a little

95
00:09:56.960 --> 00:10:01.759
bit longer, but it's a I
guess it's yeah, it's important. Let's

96
00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:07.440
go with it's important. Let's just
say that I might, I might speed

97
00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:13.879
it along because it's like it's it's
a guy dressed in a costume, right,

98
00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:20.840
and he's also I think being dubbed
over with somebody else's voice because the

99
00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:24.559
actions and the hand gestures don't always
match up to when the words are being

100
00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:28.720
said. But here, let me
just read you the synopsis first. This

101
00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:31.960
is also again Joshua News. You
should sign up to the substack. It's

102
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:35.799
a cool place to be, all
right. So, according to the report

103
00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:43.200
published by The Intel Drop, the
former employee of Elena Zlenzka's nonprofit produced foundation

104
00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:50.200
documentation as well as his own personal
work ID card to back up his claims.

105
00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:54.960
In the video uploaded by alleged whistleblow
Or, a man wearing a mask

106
00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:58.799
says he's speaking out to expose what's
happening within the Atlanta Zelenski Foundation based on

107
00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:01.720
his personal experience. Now, this
is kind of I've heard this a while

108
00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:07.720
back, but I never actually saw
this video before. But the other thing

109
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:11.960
too that I kind of when I
got to the bottom here in austral you'll

110
00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:18.360
scroll down here first so we can
look at this. But at the bottom

111
00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:26.960
I made sure to remind people that
is it still there? Yeah, Marina

112
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:31.519
Abramovic is involved in rebuilding schools and
such, according to her exact words,

113
00:11:31.799 --> 00:11:37.039
rebuilding schools and such with the Ukraine. Right, she's like the ambassador or

114
00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:43.799
something like that for children. They
picked her the one who uses bodily fluids

115
00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:48.279
in her artwork because it's a straight
up ritual, right spirit cooking all that

116
00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:52.840
stuff. Yeah, so she's involved
in Ukraine for the children, of course,

117
00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:56.840
just like they were there for the
children in Kaiti. Yeah, yeah,

118
00:11:56.879 --> 00:12:03.879
that stuff. So to convince myself, I'm recording this video to tell

119
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:05.480
you about what happened. Again,
Is that just bad foundation? Is that

120
00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:09.159
just bad English? To convince myself, it's like saying, straight up,

121
00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:13.559
Hi, I'm lying, but it's
not. It's just I just don't think

122
00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:18.759
he understands what English is. But
he supposedly is somebody who speaks English as

123
00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:22.720
a primary language. So I don't
get that very beginning at all. Should

124
00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:30.440
when I worked there after? Also
on your email, I will send you

125
00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:33.200
all the documents, all the effect. What happened you will have in your

126
00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:39.960
email with this video. To start
my story, it was in France.

127
00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:48.639
I had a friend there who worked
with different foundations, and it was he

128
00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:52.639
who told me. He told me
that in Ukraine there is a foundation that

129
00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:56.519
pays well, that offers good conditions. So I said to myself, why

130
00:12:56.600 --> 00:13:01.120
not, I wrote, I contacted
this foundation, and then I did my

131
00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:16.600
documents and I went there to Ukraine. There's long pauses when I came.

132
00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:22.399
I came there to work as a
driver. There you go. I was

133
00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:26.759
offered this job, and there you
go. I signed a contract. In

134
00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:31.720
fact, this contract was already something
I felt, something strange. It was

135
00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:35.279
already in the contract. There were
points, for example in the contract.

136
00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:41.320
In the contract, you didn't catch
the contract. We must not ask questions

137
00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:48.519
about host families and all that she's
gonna be about this for media. It

138
00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:52.120
was weird, But I told myself
that since I'm a driver, it's none

139
00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:56.200
of my business, Okay. I
signed the contract. After signing the contract,

140
00:13:56.399 --> 00:13:58.919
I was given a pass. See
that was it? You see?

141
00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:05.480
Not really, but you know,
there you have it. A pass says

142
00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:11.960
just how to give and there they
also gave us training. They told us

143
00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:18.360
about the job we were going to
do. There. There you have it

144
00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:22.399
the job. It was very simple. In fact, we're gonna move ahead

145
00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:26.879
here as a un Scare foundation.
And these orphanages were in Europe. They

146
00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:31.120
were in Germany, in France too, I was working and in England.

147
00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:41.320
This is his first lug which I
feel bad for him that afterwards there were

148
00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:43.879
staff there who took care of them
and looked for host families for them.

149
00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:50.519
As soon as we find a host
family, we take them from there as

150
00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:58.440
drivers and we take them to the
host family. It's like a blind orchestra.

151
00:15:00.480 --> 00:15:05.200
I make different cities and also neighborhoods. For example. There are host

152
00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:09.480
families also who lived in rich neighborhoods. For example. Sometimes I went to

153
00:15:09.559 --> 00:15:13.879
Berlin, for example, I went
in the Cresburg district. I still remember

154
00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:18.080
there was another host family in London
who lived in the what is it called

155
00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:30.320
dolphins square Dolphins in there. That's
interesting. In France, in Paris,

156
00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:35.039
there's a family who was on Avenue
Foch. That's it, and about this

157
00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:39.480
avenue that's what happened. That's it. I came to this Avenue Fosh and

158
00:15:39.559 --> 00:15:45.759
I came with a child. Here
I'd have documents that I will send to

159
00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:50.080
you later by email, But I
was with this child. He was demetro.

160
00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:56.399
Well here's the thing your family.
Oh hold on, So let's let's

161
00:15:56.399 --> 00:16:02.480
play logic for a second here,
right, you are are hiding your identity.

162
00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:07.519
You're raking all these efforts to disguise
your voice, disguise your face,

163
00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:10.759
wear baggy clothes, and nobody can
kind of get an idea of what your

164
00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:14.200
you know, your your build is
and you're wearing a hood on your has

165
00:16:14.279 --> 00:16:17.240
so nobody can see what kype of
hair you have. And then you talk

166
00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:21.679
about the children that you dropped off. They have record of what drivers dropped

167
00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:25.039
off, what drive what children?
You jackass? So if you hold up

168
00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:27.639
the pages that they gave you with
the children's faces on them, they're gonna

169
00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:30.679
know who you are through that?
Is that just not? I mean,

170
00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:34.240
is that just logic and reason?
Like? Did that just another way of

171
00:16:34.240 --> 00:16:37.360
identifying yourself? Isn't it that?
Or do they not? Or do we

172
00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:41.759
just assume that they don't have record
of what drivers are taking, what children

173
00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:45.080
wear? Come on, man,
come on, man, you got to

174
00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:49.360
use our We gotta use our brains
here, we gotta use our reasoning when

175
00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:56.600
we watch this kind of stuff.
He located on Avenue Bush. A gentleman

176
00:16:56.639 --> 00:17:00.279
who came out. He was really
already an elderly gentleman, and he came

177
00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:04.480
out half naked, and it really
surprised me already what was happening. His

178
00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:10.319
name was Prince Charles. He winked
at the child. He took the child

179
00:17:10.359 --> 00:17:12.519
by the hand, He signed the
document and all that, and that's it,

180
00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:19.079
and he closed the door. You
cover, says he winked at the

181
00:17:19.160 --> 00:17:25.839
child, right menacing, Yeah,
nice, real, real fucking great there.

182
00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:29.720
I said to myself that at that
moment, we really had to realize

183
00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:36.599
that something was going wrong. But
hey, I'm told that it happens.

184
00:17:36.839 --> 00:17:44.319
Who knows. I just wanted to
illustrate that this is the Saturn cult at

185
00:17:44.400 --> 00:17:51.599
work, Bachus, Dionysus, all
that stuff, this ancient cult, this

186
00:17:51.799 --> 00:17:56.920
Cannonite style cult, the freest craft. This is what they do. This

187
00:17:56.079 --> 00:18:00.640
is how they get them. This
is the devastate countries and the chaos to

188
00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:04.039
take the children. They do it
in Lahaina, they do it in Haiti,

189
00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:07.960
they do it. You're in Ukraine, well not here in Ukraine,

190
00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:11.440
but hear it, because this is
what this guy's talking about. And a

191
00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:15.400
few days later, yet another story
happened. Then I had to take another

192
00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:22.960
child from the orphanage. Bisberg gets
a little bit more. No child was

193
00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:25.799
at one point when I found him, it was this one. It was

194
00:18:25.880 --> 00:18:30.480
Voladimir. Of course, they know
what children are in, what vans are

195
00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:36.480
trucks. I had to take him
from the orphanage to a foster family and

196
00:18:36.640 --> 00:18:41.119
there what surprised me was that this
child already before a few weeks ago,

197
00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:45.559
I had already taken him to another
foster family. And I didn't understand what

198
00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:49.160
he was doing there, what the
hell he was doing in the orphanage,

199
00:18:49.240 --> 00:18:55.920
if he should already be with his
family so well, I asked him the

200
00:18:56.039 --> 00:18:59.519
question. I tried to communicate with
him in English, and I told him,

201
00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:04.960
what's happened? I mean, what's
happening? In fact, that's it.

202
00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:15.519
He really started to cry. When
I was shocked what was happening.

203
00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:18.720
I told him that I have to
take you to the family. He started

204
00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:25.519
to cry. I understood that he
doesn't want to go, so and we

205
00:19:25.640 --> 00:19:27.319
were already in the car at that
time. Does this sound familiar to other

206
00:19:27.359 --> 00:19:30.480
people, because this is the part
that I think I've really did not know

207
00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:33.680
what to do. Should I take
him to the family or should we go

208
00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:37.000
back to the orphanage. Why doesn't
he want to go there? Well,

209
00:19:37.240 --> 00:19:40.880
what's going well? I don't understand
what's going on with him. And then

210
00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:44.720
afterwards he also started to make,
you know, gestures like this. As

211
00:19:44.759 --> 00:19:48.000
I understood about this gesture like this, he's making gestures and he is showing

212
00:19:48.119 --> 00:19:57.039
me that he was touched in intimate
places him, I understood that no,

213
00:19:57.279 --> 00:20:00.920
really, it's terrible. At that
moment, I understood everything that was happening.

214
00:20:07.599 --> 00:20:15.000
It was really did I said to
myself, Okay, calm down,

215
00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:22.599
you need to look for the documents
to understand what's going on. I started

216
00:20:22.680 --> 00:20:26.799
looking for the documents and also looking
for the family he had hosted before,

217
00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:33.200
and there I found a name.
It was a certain gentleman called Bernard Henri

218
00:20:33.359 --> 00:20:41.960
Levy. Maybe I didn't think anything
about this gentleman, so I hit the

219
00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:45.279
internet to see who he is,
to find out if he has a Facebook

220
00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:56.240
or something like that, and then
I found information about him, and from

221
00:20:56.319 --> 00:21:02.119
misinformation, I understood that he is
in this whole entourage of pedophiles that he

222
00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:07.920
keeps in contact with them. I
understood the whole scheme that they are doing

223
00:21:08.039 --> 00:21:17.519
there in this foundation. Really,
what's happening there is horrible. But I'll

224
00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:21.079
follow you right away because they're in
child sex trafficking. No, thank you,

225
00:21:21.319 --> 00:21:26.559
I don't want to participate. That's
why I'm now making this video for

226
00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:33.799
you. M So I hope that
you will also do your Okay, No,

227
00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:37.160
take a look at this, since
he made it, since he named

228
00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:41.759
the name, let's have a look
at that name. The first thing that

229
00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:47.400
has struck me. You'll see you
in a second here, yeah, exactly,

230
00:21:47.480 --> 00:21:59.559
let's check this out. Let it
go. Not to jump around little

231
00:21:59.599 --> 00:22:07.160
there, Bernard Henri Levi, what's
the first thing that pops out when you

232
00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:11.440
look at that screen? For me? Is Ben a birth event? You

233
00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:22.079
know? That's the the all Jewish
free Masonic order that birthed the ADL.

234
00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:29.279
So that's what he's wrapped up in, says Bernard Henri. Levie is a

235
00:22:29.359 --> 00:22:33.440
French public intellectual. Oh there you
go, fake expert, often referred to

236
00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:37.720
in France simply as BHL. He
was one of the leaders of the Nouveau

237
00:22:37.839 --> 00:22:42.519
Philosophies, so one of those smarty
pants groups that the Illuminati was known for

238
00:22:42.759 --> 00:22:48.160
Building Movement in nineteen seventy six.
His opinions, political activists and publications have

239
00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:51.799
also been a subject of several controversies
over the years. They don't say what

240
00:22:51.839 --> 00:22:55.240
the controversies are because hey, that's
WICKI shit, right, can't get too

241
00:22:55.319 --> 00:22:59.960
deep into yeah a Ukraine and French
philosophers. So there's all this stuff.

242
00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:04.680
There's stuff there, right, there's
a there's him out the If you really

243
00:23:04.720 --> 00:23:10.039
want to spend thirty one minutes watching
your Brene Birth International and want, you

244
00:23:10.079 --> 00:23:15.160
know, you have to do a
do a spell, you know, a

245
00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:18.519
repulsion spell about on you first so
that you don't get sucked into the dirt.

246
00:23:19.359 --> 00:23:22.359
But then go ahead and put yourself
through thirty one minutes of that.

247
00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:32.400
See how that feels. But there
you have it. Yeah, so there

248
00:23:32.440 --> 00:23:37.839
he is. He's not in jail, and he's revered surprise, surprise,

249
00:23:38.960 --> 00:23:47.680
but apparently heavily involved in things that
this guy claims are easily found. So

250
00:23:47.799 --> 00:23:52.599
if you want to look forward to
that guy more, there it is.

251
00:23:52.000 --> 00:24:02.839
Okay, all right, Next,
I'm gonna do one thing on Instagram kind

252
00:24:02.880 --> 00:24:07.799
of if I can find it quickly, then I will. Oh that's weird.

253
00:24:10.119 --> 00:24:22.960
Let's do not that one that was
even weird. I thought I had

254
00:24:23.039 --> 00:24:26.279
that. I guess I didn't.
Oh, no, you know what it

255
00:24:26.400 --> 00:24:29.920
is. There's a weird thing that
goes on about Instagram, like it doesn't

256
00:24:29.920 --> 00:24:40.359
always doesn't always show everything that you
posted, especially on the the what do

257
00:24:40.480 --> 00:24:42.480
you call it, the PC like
you gotta refresh it like a bunch of

258
00:24:42.519 --> 00:24:53.920
times on for the stuff that pop
up. It's it's odd. M hmm.

259
00:24:57.960 --> 00:25:00.359
Let me see if this is the
one. Yeah, this is it.

260
00:25:02.640 --> 00:25:04.720
Okay, so let's have a look
at this. You can tell me

261
00:25:04.720 --> 00:25:07.759
what you think of this. I
always look at stuff like this with like

262
00:25:10.640 --> 00:25:14.880
skepticism, right because first of all, they're out in the public talking about

263
00:25:14.920 --> 00:25:18.440
something that you would imagine if anything
that you know about or if I've been

264
00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:25.519
taught or learn about these types of
organizations are true, then they wouldn't be

265
00:25:25.599 --> 00:25:30.759
out in the public talking about stuff
like this and living to see another day,

266
00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:36.920
because they either'd be betraying all types
of oaths and all types of you

267
00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:42.319
know contracts if you will, that
are life and death contracts. So when

268
00:25:42.359 --> 00:25:47.240
they say I'm out of this,
like no, you're a disclosure agent,

269
00:25:47.720 --> 00:25:51.319
controlling the data, controlling the information
by saying bad things. But then you

270
00:25:51.400 --> 00:25:56.799
know you're also the spokesman for it, and you're now the official expert on

271
00:25:56.920 --> 00:26:02.480
it, you know what I mean. So you can keep people informed without

272
00:26:02.599 --> 00:26:06.960
enough information to do anything with,
and then it's you know, it's it's

273
00:26:07.079 --> 00:26:11.759
it's useless at that point, right
You can't you're not getting anywhere to where

274
00:26:11.799 --> 00:26:15.079
there's something that's acting. You can't
act upon. It's just concepts and generalities.

275
00:26:15.759 --> 00:26:18.839
And I think that's why these people
are out there discussing that type of

276
00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:23.480
stuff and why they pop up every
once in a while to appease the curiosity

277
00:26:23.599 --> 00:26:30.319
and the uh, the anger of
the public. Who would if they knew

278
00:26:30.559 --> 00:26:37.279
what was really going on, and
just how rampant these priestcraft people are are

279
00:26:37.200 --> 00:26:40.759
that they would want to do something
about it to protect their own familates and

280
00:26:41.319 --> 00:26:45.640
communities. Right, so let me
take a look at this. Let me

281
00:26:45.720 --> 00:26:55.519
show you this all right now.
It did start like a half a second

282
00:26:55.519 --> 00:27:00.359
ago. So become a freemason,
said I had become a freemason. This

283
00:27:00.519 --> 00:27:04.160
is his statement. I'm not saying
that I believe all of it. I'm

284
00:27:04.240 --> 00:27:12.440
just saying this is Bill Schnobelin Schnebeling
Sometimes oe and like some like I have

285
00:27:12.519 --> 00:27:17.640
a friend named bam b a e
hm, So sometimes Oe is like an

286
00:27:17.680 --> 00:27:22.279
a sound could be shaped schnabeling for
all I know, because you can't get

287
00:27:22.359 --> 00:27:26.960
involved in Satanism on the hardcore level
without first being a freemason. That was

288
00:27:27.039 --> 00:27:33.440
my official shrine portrait, which they
took as part of my initiation. Did

289
00:27:33.480 --> 00:27:37.680
you see the the crescent moon and
the star. I mean, that's that's

290
00:27:37.839 --> 00:27:45.400
Islam, right, but it's it's
also go back further that that crescent moon

291
00:27:45.559 --> 00:27:51.400
is a sickle, that is the
one who reaps reaps the wheat right,

292
00:27:52.160 --> 00:27:56.920
cuts you down in your prime.
The Chronos Saturn right right, It all

293
00:27:56.960 --> 00:28:00.599
goes back to the whole Kronos thing. It all goes back to Saturn.

294
00:28:00.720 --> 00:28:04.720
And then this is right in our
faces all the time. The three aprohabitive

295
00:28:04.759 --> 00:28:11.880
religions are are like a cloak for
the Saturn cull, and they doupe people

296
00:28:11.920 --> 00:28:15.240
with good intentions and have a true, honest belief in a benevolent creator,

297
00:28:15.279 --> 00:28:22.640
which by the way, exists.
But they use that and then give you

298
00:28:22.720 --> 00:28:30.400
all the details, and they steer
you into things that supplore the other side

299
00:28:30.200 --> 00:28:34.000
without your without your acknowledge, you
know. And this is that this is

300
00:28:34.079 --> 00:28:37.079
the trickery of it. It's not
so much that there's not a bit of

301
00:28:37.160 --> 00:28:41.839
a creator, because I would never
ever consent to that or believe that at

302
00:28:41.880 --> 00:28:44.720
all, because I know it's not
true there is a benevolent creator. But

303
00:28:44.960 --> 00:28:52.440
what they're doing is they're hijacking concepts
to take the energy of people's support for

304
00:28:52.519 --> 00:28:59.240
a certain cause or a certain ideal
system and using it to their advantage.

305
00:28:59.480 --> 00:29:02.920
And this is why it's important to
me to talk about this type of stuff,

306
00:29:02.920 --> 00:29:06.440
even though it's controversial and people are
going to be on board most of

307
00:29:06.519 --> 00:29:10.440
the time and it's going to be
shocking to the system. The point of

308
00:29:10.559 --> 00:29:14.000
all this is that they're trying to
kill all of us right now. They're

309
00:29:14.839 --> 00:29:18.960
pushing for an end of world prophecy
revelation thing, all shit that they made

310
00:29:19.039 --> 00:29:23.440
up in the Hellenistic period. And
that's why it's really important, because all

311
00:29:23.440 --> 00:29:26.839
they did is they took their old
death cult and they put a new paint

312
00:29:26.920 --> 00:29:33.920
job on it and sold it in
three different ways over time. And it's

313
00:29:33.240 --> 00:29:37.240
right back to the Hellenistic Jews who
did that, who created their own history

314
00:29:37.480 --> 00:29:41.599
after they were taught Greek, and
this is really important because we don't want

315
00:29:41.640 --> 00:29:45.079
to be duped by this. And
that's why I always say, it's not

316
00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:48.240
my culture, it's not my people, it's not my religion. All those

317
00:29:48.279 --> 00:29:52.920
concepts that sounded really nice and I
believed in it when I was a child

318
00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:56.319
doesn't mean that they are not there, or that those archetypes aren't in existence.

319
00:29:56.440 --> 00:30:00.119
It means that somebody co opted the
good parts of it, wrote in

320
00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:04.039
a bunch of crap. Over time
wrote even more crap in there, and

321
00:30:04.119 --> 00:30:07.519
people just accept it because they're accepting
the fact that there's a benevolent creator,

322
00:30:07.720 --> 00:30:11.440
and they'll take out all the baggage
that goes along with it, not understanding

323
00:30:11.480 --> 00:30:15.640
that they're being steered into the opposite
direction that they think they're going, and

324
00:30:15.839 --> 00:30:18.440
it's going to be right over a
cliff into armageddon if we're not careful.

325
00:30:19.799 --> 00:30:23.880
I was ready to become involved in
hard core Satanism. What did that mean?

326
00:30:23.960 --> 00:30:26.200
Well, that meant I had to
sell my soul to the devil.

327
00:30:26.519 --> 00:30:30.759
I had to sign my name on
the contract in blood, I had to

328
00:30:30.839 --> 00:30:34.720
sign my name in the Black Book. Understand something the Satanic doctrine here is

329
00:30:34.839 --> 00:30:38.640
that hell is not what we believe
it is now, hold on a second.

330
00:30:38.680 --> 00:30:42.720
When you say things like this,
Here's what I don't understand. All

331
00:30:42.759 --> 00:30:47.480
these people who say, yeah,
there's a sacrifice that has to be made

332
00:30:47.519 --> 00:30:52.359
in order to be initiated into certain
degrees, you have to do a sacrifice.

333
00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:55.279
Well, you just admitted that you
were a murderer and you're still walking

334
00:30:55.359 --> 00:31:00.359
around. But everybody's suppose a gloss
over that. Shouldn't there be an investation

335
00:31:00.440 --> 00:31:04.279
into what your previous crimes were?
And don't we also know that pedophilia and

336
00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:11.160
you know, rape and torture are
part is you know, ingrained into the

337
00:31:11.279 --> 00:31:14.680
very fabric of these things. So
what else are you guilty of? Why

338
00:31:14.720 --> 00:31:19.079
are you standing there as a quote
unquote expert on the topic, an insider

339
00:31:19.640 --> 00:31:26.720
and not being investigated. It's all
very suspicious to me, or what the

340
00:31:26.799 --> 00:31:30.640
Bible teaches it is. The Satanic
doctrine is that hell is this incredible party.

341
00:31:32.119 --> 00:31:36.960
It's like a NonStop all eternity orgy. So you're smoking dope, you're

342
00:31:37.000 --> 00:31:40.400
fornicating your brains out, you're listening
to rock and rolls through all eternity.

343
00:31:41.319 --> 00:31:44.160
I don't really think that's what they
believe. I don't think they believe in

344
00:31:44.279 --> 00:31:48.680
materialistic carnality in the after life,
like you would have to have a body

345
00:31:48.720 --> 00:31:52.000
in order to smoke dope and doesn't
have the same effect after you're dead.

346
00:31:52.279 --> 00:31:56.240
Come on, man, and it's
party hardy time before I could get onto

347
00:31:56.279 --> 00:32:01.119
the priesthood of Satanism. Look at
that. Look at this right here,

348
00:32:01.839 --> 00:32:07.720
hopefully you can see my So that
is the alid bastrum, the rod with

349
00:32:07.839 --> 00:32:14.559
the knob on the top, and
then you see the symbol for the medical

350
00:32:14.880 --> 00:32:22.000
right, and there's the two snakes, the death and resurrection right, because

351
00:32:22.039 --> 00:32:28.079
you're looking at snake poisoning, snake
venom, the dote and snake antidote,

352
00:32:28.759 --> 00:32:31.599
and that's the death and rebirth.
That's the Dinesian cult. That's the Balkan

353
00:32:31.680 --> 00:32:37.759
colt. That's all that stuff.
And it's staring your right and face.

354
00:32:37.799 --> 00:32:42.160
And the Allo bastrum is what they
use. It's like a dildo to apply

355
00:32:44.319 --> 00:32:50.920
trugs in your uh in your huha. Right, So it's actually it's actually

356
00:32:50.960 --> 00:32:52.400
a sex organ. And there he's
you know, it's straight up in the

357
00:32:52.440 --> 00:32:54.359
air and he's got two kids next
to him. What does this tell you?

358
00:32:58.279 --> 00:33:00.279
And I'm sorry to wonder if the
fingers in the air, this is

359
00:33:00.359 --> 00:33:04.160
kind of mockery because every time you
see like a mother Mary or Jesus stature,

360
00:33:04.200 --> 00:33:06.319
you see the two fingers up in
the air like that in the same

361
00:33:06.400 --> 00:33:10.039
position. And I'm I'm almost wondering
now, depending on how much you want

362
00:33:10.079 --> 00:33:15.400
to, you know, buy into
what Ammon talks about, because I mean,

363
00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:17.400
it is actually written, but who
wrote it is the is the question?

364
00:33:19.319 --> 00:33:22.640
And how do we take that?
It's like, how do we take

365
00:33:22.720 --> 00:33:25.759
that for Gospel? Either? You
know, when was it written in there?

366
00:33:25.880 --> 00:33:30.119
And how and by whom? Was
it just to corrupt and co opt

367
00:33:30.519 --> 00:33:36.359
the movement and take it over?
Is that why it makes its way into

368
00:33:36.960 --> 00:33:43.640
the New Testament? These these these
words in Old in Old Uh ancient Greek.

369
00:33:44.519 --> 00:33:46.559
So it's like, I understand that
it says that, but consider where

370
00:33:46.559 --> 00:33:49.640
the source comes from. If we
can't figure out who the sources, then

371
00:33:49.680 --> 00:33:53.960
we don't understand their agenda and their
intent for using those words. It could

372
00:33:54.000 --> 00:33:58.559
be making up a history about Jesus. That's terrible. That man would never

373
00:33:58.920 --> 00:34:01.400
have happened. And that's the thing
that I don't think Amin ever considers.

374
00:34:02.240 --> 00:34:08.760
But the fingers in the air,
if anything about the purple, the burning

375
00:34:08.840 --> 00:34:14.119
purple is true and it was a
drug, and it was the one that

376
00:34:14.159 --> 00:34:17.039
had the vehem in it. They
applied it into the eyes, they implied

377
00:34:17.079 --> 00:34:22.960
it into, you know, different
parts of the body. There's two fingers

378
00:34:22.400 --> 00:34:28.559
kind of almost seem like they represent
that, you know, sticking it somewhere,

379
00:34:28.639 --> 00:34:32.320
and then that's that's I don't know, it's I know, everybody's gonna

380
00:34:32.320 --> 00:34:34.840
have a different answer, like no, no, no, no, no,

381
00:34:34.880 --> 00:34:36.679
it's this. But yeah, but
what else is it? Because this

382
00:34:36.840 --> 00:34:42.199
is all this is all occulted,
this is all cryptic, right, Excuse

383
00:34:42.280 --> 00:34:45.000
me. I had to get seven
people to sell our souls to the devil.

384
00:34:45.559 --> 00:34:47.880
The other thing I had to do, this might astonish some of you,

385
00:34:49.360 --> 00:34:52.480
is I had to become a Catholic
priest. I had to go back

386
00:34:52.480 --> 00:34:58.320
to my original vocation. Jesuits,
that's the first thing I think of.

387
00:34:59.199 --> 00:35:05.280
Jesuits are also founded by the Hughes, the same Hughes in in the Hellenistic

388
00:35:05.360 --> 00:35:09.199
period in Greece, who adopted a
bunch of and let's see, rewrote with

389
00:35:09.320 --> 00:35:16.280
a lot of same themes uh their
their folklore to put themselves in the center

390
00:35:16.320 --> 00:35:19.480
of everything, right, and we're
gonna we're gonna see that here in a

391
00:35:19.519 --> 00:35:22.559
second, because you cannot be a
Satanic priest unless, first of all,

392
00:35:22.880 --> 00:35:27.760
you're a Catholic priest. And that
surprises you. I just suggested you go

393
00:35:27.920 --> 00:35:31.119
and you read some of the medieval
literature. You'll see that that is,

394
00:35:31.159 --> 00:35:37.320
in fact the case I had to
become a freemason. Okay, So now

395
00:35:37.360 --> 00:35:45.039
we're gonna watch a video that I
put together last night, and it is

396
00:35:46.039 --> 00:35:54.239
from Mythvision miss Vision podcast. I
think it's called or something like that,

397
00:35:55.599 --> 00:36:00.760
by this guy named Derek. I
don't parto the personally care too much for

398
00:36:00.880 --> 00:36:07.719
Derek. I've listened to enough of
his stuff to see that he is very

399
00:36:07.840 --> 00:36:14.920
naive or intentionally deceptive, and he's
very artificial when he talks. When he

400
00:36:15.000 --> 00:36:16.880
does his narrations for these things,
I don't think it's even him. I

401
00:36:16.920 --> 00:36:20.519
think he's just narrating it. Like, I don't think this is his.

402
00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:25.800
It's it sounds more like a read
to me. But when he actually tries

403
00:36:25.800 --> 00:36:30.679
to talk straightforward, it sounds very
artificial. And some of the things like

404
00:36:32.000 --> 00:36:37.519
he's presented and tried to like defend
and support have been a lot of the

405
00:36:37.599 --> 00:36:43.519
mainstream academia stuff. So I take
the I take the good and discard the

406
00:36:43.599 --> 00:36:45.719
bad, right, So I look
at this stuff that you know, Okay,

407
00:36:45.840 --> 00:36:50.360
this this is the point that I
that I think that you do have

408
00:36:50.400 --> 00:36:52.400
a lot of evidence for, which
is the Hellenistic period being the origin of

409
00:36:52.599 --> 00:36:57.159
the Old Testament, which is like
the you know, three hundred BC right

410
00:36:57.199 --> 00:37:01.960
around there, rather than it being
way back in the seven hundred and eight

411
00:37:02.039 --> 00:37:07.880
hundred PC or even further back with
tales from you know, Moses and Abraham,

412
00:37:07.880 --> 00:37:14.880
much further back right twelve hundred and
thirteen hundred PC for Moses. So

413
00:37:15.599 --> 00:37:20.000
this is why I'm using this information
and data. Because he put together or

414
00:37:20.039 --> 00:37:22.519
they put together and had him narrate. I think it's a team. And

415
00:37:22.559 --> 00:37:25.199
I don't know who else is on
that team, you know what I mean.

416
00:37:25.480 --> 00:37:30.840
It's not just him doing it.
So I'm sure there's something suspicious about

417
00:37:31.559 --> 00:37:37.760
the people who have him as their
spokesperson because he doesn't seem like he's very

418
00:37:37.639 --> 00:37:42.280
on the up and up. So
I'm not supporting or promoting myth vision.

419
00:37:42.960 --> 00:37:47.000
I'm just showing you the information that
I think is valid that you can do

420
00:37:47.159 --> 00:37:51.119
what you will with, Okay,
And I'm probably not going to get through

421
00:37:51.159 --> 00:37:55.559
all of that today during this speak
free radio presentation because I believe it's about

422
00:37:55.559 --> 00:37:58.920
an hour and a half long and
Murrio thirty six minutes deep. It looks

423
00:37:58.960 --> 00:38:01.079
like you're thirty nine minutes. But
we'll get what we can out of it.

424
00:38:04.840 --> 00:38:17.039
Hopefully this is not hard to find. Yeah, let's see if that's

425
00:38:17.079 --> 00:38:24.159
in place. Hopefully it does helen. This didn't handbasket, but I call

426
00:38:24.159 --> 00:38:32.000
it that because there's many stories that
include or incorporate a story of the Nile

427
00:38:32.760 --> 00:38:39.920
and having to send your children down
the river, right, including Moses's story

428
00:38:50.079 --> 00:38:54.679
the Myth of Moses. In the
vast landscapes of ancient Egypt, where pyramids

429
00:38:54.760 --> 00:38:59.840
kissed the sky and the Nile River
flowed with life, the tell began that

430
00:39:00.039 --> 00:39:05.239
would shape the destiny of a nation
and influence three of the world's major religions.

431
00:39:05.400 --> 00:39:09.400
Amid political tension, the reigning pharaoh
felt threatened by the ever growing population

432
00:39:09.719 --> 00:39:15.039
of the Israelites. What was his
drastic solution, All newborn Hebrew boys were

433
00:39:15.079 --> 00:39:19.920
to be cast into the Nile.
Moses's mother, unwilling to lose her son,

434
00:39:20.079 --> 00:39:23.159
crafted a clever plan. She placed
Moses in a basket and hid it

435
00:39:23.239 --> 00:39:29.360
among the river reeds. Fate or
divine intervention led Pharaoh's daughter to this very

436
00:39:29.519 --> 00:39:32.280
spot. Moved by the infant's cries, she decided to adopt him, and

437
00:39:32.400 --> 00:39:37.559
so Moses, a Hebrew by birth, grew up in the opulence of Pharaoh's

438
00:39:37.639 --> 00:39:42.239
palace. As Moses matured, he
became increasingly aware of the harsh treatment his

439
00:39:42.360 --> 00:39:45.639
Hebrew can endured. When he intervened
in a violent dispute. It resulted in

440
00:39:45.719 --> 00:39:51.199
the death of an Egyptian, forcing
Moses to flee Egypt for the rugged terrains

441
00:39:51.239 --> 00:39:53.039
of Midian. All right, I'm
just going to jump in real quick and

442
00:39:53.119 --> 00:40:01.920
say the intent to this of this
is to kind of show but also allow

443
00:40:02.000 --> 00:40:07.400
you to see this on your own
without influence. Really, just the information

444
00:40:07.760 --> 00:40:16.880
that this Saturn death cult developed a
story to kind of clean up its identity.

445
00:40:17.599 --> 00:40:22.079
And this goes right back to Canaonite
stuff. This goes all all those

446
00:40:22.199 --> 00:40:27.400
elements are still there. This is
why this pedophilia thing occurs. This is

447
00:40:27.440 --> 00:40:34.639
why this child trafficking is prevalent in
the Roman Catholic Church and in you know,

448
00:40:35.519 --> 00:40:39.239
the small hat Arena and free masonry
and all that other stuff. That's

449
00:40:39.400 --> 00:40:43.679
why this is such a big deal
because it's part of their rights and rituals,

450
00:40:44.440 --> 00:40:52.199
and it goes back to these priestcraft
cults and they utilize these facades religions

451
00:40:52.239 --> 00:40:57.519
that they don't believe in themselves,
the ones who develop it. But they've

452
00:40:57.559 --> 00:41:00.519
got a lot of us, especially
Christian Zion, yes for sure, uh

453
00:41:00.840 --> 00:41:07.519
supporting and pushed, you know,
carrying them to the to the to the

454
00:41:07.639 --> 00:41:09.639
end of the line, if you
will, to the to the goalposts,

455
00:41:12.000 --> 00:41:15.280
to the touchdown, and that touchdown
would be red half for sacrifice, destruction

456
00:41:15.400 --> 00:41:21.679
of the temple and bringing about their
wicked, evil messiah that everybody thinks is

457
00:41:21.760 --> 00:41:24.440
a good thing because then Jesus will
come back, but that also entails like

458
00:41:24.559 --> 00:41:30.599
everybody dying, and we don't want
that. I don't want that in the

459
00:41:30.719 --> 00:41:35.519
solitude of Midian while because that's all
going to be fabricated in the first place,

460
00:41:35.800 --> 00:41:39.079
by them who created the stories in
the first place. No benevolent creator

461
00:41:39.079 --> 00:41:44.079
would have this as the end result
of his creation. It doesn't make sense.

462
00:41:45.000 --> 00:41:50.599
Shepherding flocks, Moses stumbled upon an
unusual site bush engulfed in flames,

463
00:41:51.079 --> 00:41:55.599
yet remained unscathed. This burning bush
became the conduit for God's message. Moses

464
00:41:55.760 --> 00:42:01.199
was chosen to liberate the Israelites from
Egyptian bond armed with divine purpose. When

465
00:42:01.320 --> 00:42:07.440
stuttering Moses and his brother Aaron first
approached Pharaoh to request the release of the

466
00:42:07.599 --> 00:42:12.239
Israelites, a display of divine power
was in order. In a dramatic showdown

467
00:42:12.480 --> 00:42:16.559
in Pharaoh's court, Aaron cast down
Moses's staff and it miraculously transformed into a

468
00:42:16.679 --> 00:42:22.719
serpent. Not to be outdone,
Pharaoh's magicians, using their own secret arts,

469
00:42:22.079 --> 00:42:27.119
replicated the feet, turning their staffs
into snakes as well. However,

470
00:42:27.639 --> 00:42:31.800
the serpent born of Moses's staff swiftly
devoured those of the magicians, a symbolic

471
00:42:31.960 --> 00:42:37.039
victory that showcased the superior power of
the God of Israel. The Pharaoh was

472
00:42:37.079 --> 00:42:43.559
stubborn, leading to a series of
devastating plagues tend to be precise, ranging

473
00:42:43.679 --> 00:42:46.559
from the Nile turning to blood,
the death of the firstborns. Eventually,

474
00:42:47.119 --> 00:42:52.920
Pharaoh relented and the exodus commenced.
Pursued by the regretful Pharaoh and his army,

475
00:42:53.079 --> 00:42:58.719
the Israelites faced the seemingly insurmountable barrier
of the Red Sea, but with

476
00:42:58.840 --> 00:43:04.199
a divine gesture Moses, the waters
parted. They walked on dry land only

477
00:43:04.280 --> 00:43:08.280
for the waters to return, thwarting
the pursuing Egyptian forces in the Sinai Desert,

478
00:43:08.480 --> 00:43:13.360
Moses received the Ten Commandments of top
Mount Sinai, the moral code that

479
00:43:13.400 --> 00:43:19.920
would shape the ethical foundation for generations. This mountaintop experience was transformative in that

480
00:43:20.159 --> 00:43:23.199
Moses's face would shine like the sun. However, the journey was riddled with

481
00:43:23.440 --> 00:43:29.039
challenges, including the people's occasional light. Now here's where the deception occurs too,

482
00:43:29.159 --> 00:43:35.400
because those laws people assume are because
they're civil and they make sense and

483
00:43:35.440 --> 00:43:39.239
they're logical, that of course they
would agree with them and adopt them.

484
00:43:39.320 --> 00:43:44.360
Yeah, murders bad and all this
other stuff. Don't sleep with their neighbor's

485
00:43:44.400 --> 00:43:49.039
wife, all that stuff. But
they'd failed to recognize, because it's all

486
00:43:49.199 --> 00:43:54.239
in the writing as well, that
these are for the tribes. This is

487
00:43:54.320 --> 00:44:00.119
how they can are to conduct themselves
between themselves. It has nothing to do

488
00:44:00.239 --> 00:44:05.000
with outsiders. This isn't a religion
for everybody. This is for them.

489
00:44:05.920 --> 00:44:10.679
And if you are a stranger to
them, meaning you're not one of them,

490
00:44:12.760 --> 00:44:16.440
then you can conduct usury, you
can commit murder. All these things

491
00:44:16.480 --> 00:44:22.639
are fair game. And Yahweh says
it's good lapses into idolatry, like with

492
00:44:22.800 --> 00:44:28.119
the infamous Golden Calf. While the
Israelites were wandering in the desert, they

493
00:44:28.239 --> 00:44:31.400
encountered snakes. But these snakes put
them in a much more distressing scenario.

494
00:44:31.719 --> 00:44:37.320
The Israelites, in a moment of
frustration and impatience, spoke against God and

495
00:44:37.480 --> 00:44:43.800
Moses. In response, God sent
venomous serpents among the people, resulting in

496
00:44:43.880 --> 00:44:47.840
many deaths. Recognizing their transgression,
the Israelites repented and pleaded with them.

497
00:44:49.199 --> 00:44:52.159
And this is where I say this
is all cryptic. This is a part

498
00:44:52.199 --> 00:44:58.079
of a ritual rite that people are
reading on the literal translation of it,

499
00:44:58.880 --> 00:45:04.239
rather than seeing it were elements of
a ritual. Moses to intercede on their

500
00:45:04.280 --> 00:45:08.480
behalf. Instructed by God, Moses
crafted a bronze serpent and mounted it on

501
00:45:08.760 --> 00:45:15.280
a pole. Those bitten had but
to gaze upon this bronze serpent to be

502
00:45:15.480 --> 00:45:19.840
healed a symbol of God's mercy.
Gazed upon it, and the poison is

503
00:45:19.880 --> 00:45:22.760
put in the eyes, and so
is the antidote. Right see, and

504
00:45:22.880 --> 00:45:29.199
the power of divine intervention. Despite
his leadership, due to certain transgressions,

505
00:45:29.679 --> 00:45:34.960
Moses was informed he wouldn't enter the
Promised Land as the Israelites approached their destination,

506
00:45:35.280 --> 00:45:39.239
Moses climbed Mount Nebo after passing off
the leadership to Joshua. From its

507
00:45:39.320 --> 00:45:44.480
peak, he gazed upon the land
he'd never set foot in, and then,

508
00:45:44.800 --> 00:45:52.039
surrounded by clouds of mystery, Moses
departed from the world. For those

509
00:45:52.079 --> 00:45:55.760
of you listening and speak for your
radio, it says on the screen,

510
00:45:55.840 --> 00:46:05.679
and why is Moses important? Why
is Moses important? The purpose of this

511
00:46:05.880 --> 00:46:10.000
documentary. Moses is not just an
incredibly important biblical figure in terms of theology

512
00:46:10.159 --> 00:46:15.159
and the Biblical narrative, he is
arguably the keystone that holds the Bible together.

513
00:46:15.360 --> 00:46:21.239
We're told that Jesus came to fulfill
every jot and tittle of the Mosaic

514
00:46:21.400 --> 00:46:24.679
Law, the Ten Commandments, and
other rules that came from the Exodus accounts.

515
00:46:25.239 --> 00:46:34.320
And right there, that's a mis
interpretation and misunderstanding because it's not for

516
00:46:34.599 --> 00:46:37.880
other people. This is their religion, this is their God. It's not

517
00:46:38.079 --> 00:46:45.000
everyone's God. Because he promises them
that He's going to get rid of everyone

518
00:46:45.039 --> 00:46:47.039
else. The whole lot of the
stranger thing just keeps on popping back up

519
00:46:47.079 --> 00:46:52.960
again. The author of the Gospel
of Matthew saw Jesus as the new Moses.

520
00:46:52.199 --> 00:46:58.079
Before Jesus, Moses was arguably the
most important Biblical figure. Jesus had

521
00:46:58.119 --> 00:47:01.960
to be bigger and better than Moses
and to emulate his story Moses and the

522
00:47:02.039 --> 00:47:07.559
supposed events of Exodus from Egypt where
the foundations upon which the rest of the

523
00:47:07.639 --> 00:47:12.960
Bible and Christianity were built. But
what if Moses was largely or entirely a

524
00:47:13.159 --> 00:47:16.880
myth? One could say that this
realization would cause the edifice of Judaism,

525
00:47:17.039 --> 00:47:22.199
Christianity, and Islam to crumble to
rubble like the walls of Jericho. Without

526
00:47:22.280 --> 00:47:28.159
Moses, what are the Abrahamic faiths
but a castle in the air, devoid

527
00:47:28.360 --> 00:47:37.400
of a solid base. Another myth
of Moses. When we talk about the

528
00:47:37.440 --> 00:47:43.360
myth of Moses, we're not being
merely provocative, but expressing a reality about

529
00:47:43.400 --> 00:47:47.480
how Moses has functioned through the ages
for many cultures. And to understand how

530
00:47:47.599 --> 00:47:53.039
his myth has influenced Judaism and its
descendant traditions, we must look at another

531
00:47:53.159 --> 00:47:58.320
story, one you won't find in
your Bible. The oldest story of Moses

532
00:47:58.679 --> 00:48:04.119
that we can positive fleet identify its
place and date of creation, comes not

533
00:48:04.280 --> 00:48:07.039
from the Holy Land, but from
the alleged birthplace of the great Man.

534
00:48:07.239 --> 00:48:13.840
The Nile River Delta is fertile ground
for both the seeds of plants and the

535
00:48:13.960 --> 00:48:17.480
seeds of stories. It was in
a folk tradition emerging after the conquest of

536
00:48:17.559 --> 00:48:22.159
Alexander the Great that gives us another
tell of Moses and his arrival. I

537
00:48:22.199 --> 00:48:29.119
believe they're talking about Hectaus of abderrah
Bert Elein discussing in Palestine. This story

538
00:48:29.320 --> 00:48:34.360
was almost lost if it were not
preserved by Hecateus of Abdera and paraphrased in

539
00:48:34.480 --> 00:48:39.719
Diodorus Siclus's Library of History forty three
and the most outstanding and active among them

540
00:48:39.760 --> 00:48:45.320
banded together and journey to Greece and
certain other regions. Their leaders were notable

541
00:48:45.360 --> 00:48:47.960
men, chief among them Dnius,
but the greater number settled in what is

542
00:48:49.039 --> 00:48:52.519
now called Judeo, which is not
far distant from Egypt, and was in

543
00:48:52.599 --> 00:48:55.360
that time utterly desolate. The colony
was headed by a man named Moses,

544
00:48:55.800 --> 00:49:00.880
outstanding both in his wisdom and courage
on taking posession of the land that he

545
00:49:00.960 --> 00:49:04.320
founded, besides other cities, one
that is now the most renowned of all,

546
00:49:04.400 --> 00:49:07.199
called Jerusalem. In addition, he
established the temple that they hold in

547
00:49:07.280 --> 00:49:12.320
chief generation, instituted their form of
worship and ritual, drew up the laws

548
00:49:12.400 --> 00:49:16.239
related to other political institutions, and
ordered them. He also divided the peoples

549
00:49:16.320 --> 00:49:21.400
into twelve tribes, since this is
regarded as the most perfect number and corresponds

550
00:49:21.440 --> 00:49:22.840
to the number of months that make
up a year. He picked out the

551
00:49:22.880 --> 00:49:27.760
men of most refinement and with the
greatest ability to head the entire nation.

552
00:49:28.480 --> 00:49:30.719
Here's a question, though, did
they have a twelve month calendar back then?

553
00:49:32.159 --> 00:49:36.159
Right? I don't know if that
If that jives, I think they're

554
00:49:36.800 --> 00:49:44.880
applying different time lions to their understanding
of why they did that, and appointed

555
00:49:44.920 --> 00:49:47.719
them priests, and he ordained that
they should occupy themselves with the temple and

556
00:49:47.840 --> 00:49:52.360
the honor and sacrifice offered to their
God. These same men he appointed to

557
00:49:52.440 --> 00:49:55.320
be judges in all major disputes,
and entrusted to them the guardianship of laws

558
00:49:55.360 --> 00:50:00.239
and custom. Their lawgiver was careful
also to make provisions for warfare, and

559
00:50:00.400 --> 00:50:05.079
required the young men to cultivate manliness, steadfadness, and generally the endurance of

560
00:50:05.159 --> 00:50:08.039
every hardship. He let out mere
military expeditions against the neighboring tribe, and

561
00:50:08.119 --> 00:50:13.920
after annexing much land appointed to them, assigned equal allotments to private citizens and

562
00:50:14.039 --> 00:50:16.360
greater ones to the priests, in
order that they, by virtue receiving more

563
00:50:16.400 --> 00:50:21.480
amper revenue, might be undistracted imply
themselves continually to the worship of God.

564
00:50:21.639 --> 00:50:24.400
The most common people were forbidden to
sell their individual plots, lest there be

565
00:50:24.519 --> 00:50:28.519
some who, for their own advantage, should buy them up, and by

566
00:50:28.559 --> 00:50:32.320
oppressing the poorer classes bring them on
a scarcity of manpower. We required those

567
00:50:32.360 --> 00:50:36.960
that dwelt in the land to rear
children, and since their offspring could be

568
00:50:37.199 --> 00:50:39.639
cared for a little cost. The
Jews were from the start a populous nation,

569
00:50:39.920 --> 00:50:45.360
such is the count of Hectaus of
Militis actually Abdurah. In regard to

570
00:50:45.480 --> 00:50:47.920
the Jews, there are some familiar
elements here. There is the mention of

571
00:50:47.960 --> 00:50:52.800
the twelve tribes of Israel, Moses
as lawgiver, and the conquest of the

572
00:50:52.880 --> 00:50:57.119
land. But that is where the
similarities end. This Moses was not a

573
00:50:57.280 --> 00:51:00.920
Jew himself, but a full blooded
Egyptian, and he is leaving Egypt to

574
00:51:01.119 --> 00:51:06.159
found a new colony, not because
he is forced out or trying to escape.

575
00:51:06.280 --> 00:51:09.079
This is not an exodus and a
freedom from slavery, from Egyptian power,

576
00:51:09.280 --> 00:51:14.039
but the expansion of it into a
desolate land. It was not the

577
00:51:14.199 --> 00:51:19.199
arrival into a promised land of milk
and honey. There is here no suffering

578
00:51:19.280 --> 00:51:22.719
in the wilderness, no plagues upon
the land, no parting of the waters.

579
00:51:23.000 --> 00:51:28.440
And here Moses is not some criminal
who killed a fellow Egyptian, but

580
00:51:28.559 --> 00:51:31.960
a noble and courageous leader. His
priesthood is based on a merit rather than

581
00:51:32.159 --> 00:51:36.639
his brother getting a piece of the
pie when it comes to a new theocratic

582
00:51:36.840 --> 00:51:40.960
order. And let's not forget this
Egyptian Moses enters into Palestine, founds its

583
00:51:42.079 --> 00:51:45.639
capital city, and builds its temple. He was the one that established the

584
00:51:45.679 --> 00:51:51.280
tribal system, rather than saving those
tribes from bondage. This isn't the only

585
00:51:51.440 --> 00:51:54.800
such colonization story the Egyptians were telling, as they also claim to have founded

586
00:51:54.880 --> 00:52:00.679
the major cities in Greece and Babylon. In other words, these stories of

587
00:52:00.719 --> 00:52:05.840
supposed Egyptian greatness, and they seem
to be completely ignorant of the exodus tradition

588
00:52:06.239 --> 00:52:09.480
from Israel, let alone the particular
version of the story found in the Bible.

589
00:52:09.639 --> 00:52:14.679
What is fascinating about this story is
that it's independent of the story in

590
00:52:14.719 --> 00:52:19.159
the Tanakh. It doesn't even seem
to know the Jews had a tradition they

591
00:52:19.239 --> 00:52:22.880
were escaped slaves from Egypt. So
where did this story come from? Well,

592
00:52:22.079 --> 00:52:25.039
it looks like another case of influence
by the Greeks and the wake of

593
00:52:25.119 --> 00:52:30.760
the armies of Alexander. The model
of colonizers leaving the motherland was a common

594
00:52:30.800 --> 00:52:35.760
trope in Hellenic and Hellenistic stories of
the origins of peoples. Numerous towns and

595
00:52:35.920 --> 00:52:39.119
territories were founded by the children of
Hercules, and their names were given over

596
00:52:39.199 --> 00:52:45.000
to the regions where they otherwise had
some other etiological function. These stories were

597
00:52:45.079 --> 00:52:51.800
created to explain observations of the world, even if they were grounded in the

598
00:52:51.880 --> 00:52:57.000
imagination. How the Egyptians imagined the
past was also influenced by their history,

599
00:52:57.159 --> 00:53:01.079
and there is yet another myth of
Moses within Egyptian folklore. According to one

600
00:53:01.159 --> 00:53:06.960
Egyptian priest named Manitho, there was
a great trauma in his country's past,

601
00:53:07.199 --> 00:53:10.360
and Moses was a key figure in
that history. Here is what Manitho had

602
00:53:10.400 --> 00:53:15.440
to say, as quoted by the
Jewish historian Josephus. This writer, who

603
00:53:15.480 --> 00:53:20.159
has undertaken to translate the history of
Egypt from the Sacred Book. Began by

604
00:53:20.239 --> 00:53:23.800
stating that our ancestors came against Egypt
with many tens of thousands and gained the

605
00:53:23.840 --> 00:53:29.199
mastery over the inhabitants, And then
he himself admitted that by a later date

606
00:53:29.280 --> 00:53:32.119
again they were driven out of the
country, occupying what is now Judea,

607
00:53:32.280 --> 00:53:36.440
founded Jerusalem and built the temple.
Up to this point, he followed the

608
00:53:36.480 --> 00:53:40.159
chronicles thereafter by offering to record the
legends and current talk about the Jews.

609
00:53:40.480 --> 00:53:45.119
He took the liberty of interpolating improbable
tales in his desire to confuse us with

610
00:53:45.239 --> 00:53:50.119
the crowd of Egyptian who, for
leprosy and other maladies had been condemned,

611
00:53:50.119 --> 00:53:53.079
He said, for banishment from Egypt. I'm in office, conceived and desired

612
00:53:53.079 --> 00:53:57.800
to behold the God, as or
one of the predecessors on the throne had

613
00:53:57.880 --> 00:54:01.800
done. And he communicated his disa
dere of his namesake, Amenophus, Papaeus's

614
00:54:01.880 --> 00:54:06.159
son, who in virtue of his
wisdom and knowledge of the future, was

615
00:54:06.199 --> 00:54:09.480
reputed to be a partaker of the
divine nature. His namesake then replied that

616
00:54:09.599 --> 00:54:14.280
he would be able to see the
gods if he cleansed the whole land of

617
00:54:14.440 --> 00:54:17.320
lepers and other polluted persons. The
king was delighted and assembled all of those

618
00:54:17.360 --> 00:54:22.320
in Egypt whose bodies were wasted by
disease. They numbered eighty thousand persons.

619
00:54:22.800 --> 00:54:27.800
Sometimes the narration clips I'm the very
last word. I'm not sure where that

620
00:54:27.920 --> 00:54:31.079
happens or why they allowed that to
get into the final atit. These he

621
00:54:31.239 --> 00:54:35.880
cast into the stone quarries in the
east of the Nile, there to work,

622
00:54:36.079 --> 00:54:38.800
segregated from the rest of the Egyptian
Among them intho Ads. There were

623
00:54:38.880 --> 00:54:44.119
some of the learned priests who had
been attacked by leprosy. Then this wise

624
00:54:44.400 --> 00:54:49.880
seer Amenophus was filled with dread of
divine wrath against him and the king if

625
00:54:49.960 --> 00:54:52.639
the outrage done to these people should
be discovered, and he added a prediction

626
00:54:52.960 --> 00:54:58.239
that certain allies would join the polluted
people and would take possession of Egypt for

627
00:54:58.360 --> 00:55:01.800
thirteen years. Not venturing to make
this prophecy himself to the king. He

628
00:55:01.920 --> 00:55:05.639
left a full account of his writings
and then took his own life. The

629
00:55:05.760 --> 00:55:08.719
king was filled with despondency. Then
many of the continues as follows. I

630
00:55:08.880 --> 00:55:13.280
quote his account for Beatim. When
the men in the stone Quarries had suffered

631
00:55:13.320 --> 00:55:15.960
hardship for a considerable time, they
begged the king to assign to them a

632
00:55:16.280 --> 00:55:21.840
dwelling plate and a refuge, the
deserted city of the Shepherd of Are,

633
00:55:22.039 --> 00:55:24.760
and he consented. According to religious
tradition that this city was from earliest times

634
00:55:24.880 --> 00:55:30.440
dedicated to Typhon, occupying dedicated to
Typhon, also known as Set right,

635
00:55:30.760 --> 00:55:37.880
And what is the set the god
of foreigners? Right, Typhon's someone who

636
00:55:37.119 --> 00:55:45.880
dismembered Osirius. So this is this
is already kind of showing you the Saturn

637
00:55:45.960 --> 00:55:49.920
cult here the city, and using
the region as a base for revolt.

638
00:55:50.159 --> 00:55:53.840
They appointed as their leader one of
the priests of Yapolis called Osarsiphith, and

639
00:55:53.960 --> 00:55:58.239
took an oath of obedience to him
in everything. First of all, he

640
00:55:58.360 --> 00:56:00.599
made it a law that they should
neither workship the gods, nor refrained from

641
00:56:00.679 --> 00:56:05.920
any of the animals prescribed as especially
sacred to Egypt, but should sacrifice consume

642
00:56:06.039 --> 00:56:08.559
all alight, and that they should
have intercourse with none save those of their

643
00:56:08.639 --> 00:56:14.280
own confederates. After framing a great
number of laws like these, completely opposite

644
00:56:14.400 --> 00:56:19.239
to Egyptian custom, he ordered them
that their multitude of hands to repair the

645
00:56:19.320 --> 00:56:22.159
walls of the city and make ready
of war against King Amenophus. Then,

646
00:56:22.440 --> 00:56:27.079
acting a concert with certain other priests
and polluted persons like himself, he sent

647
00:56:27.159 --> 00:56:30.159
an embassy to the shepherds who had
been expelled by Tethmosis in the city called

648
00:56:30.239 --> 00:56:36.320
Jerusalem, and, setting forth the
circumstances of himself and his companions in distress,

649
00:56:36.559 --> 00:56:39.159
he begged them to unite wholeheartedly in
an attack upon Egypt. He offered

650
00:56:39.159 --> 00:56:44.280
to conduct them first to their ancestral
home of Avaris, to provide their host

651
00:56:44.360 --> 00:56:46.760
with lavish supply, to fight on
their behalf whenever nit arose, and to

652
00:56:46.840 --> 00:56:52.000
bring Egypt without difficulty under their way. Overjoyed at this proposal, all the

653
00:56:52.039 --> 00:56:54.800
shepherd in the number of two hundred
thousand, eagerly set out, and before

654
00:56:54.920 --> 00:56:59.920
long came to ar when Amenophus,
king of Egypt, learned of their larus.

655
00:57:00.079 --> 00:57:02.480
It keeps on clipping the last week
our invasion. He was sorely troubled,

656
00:57:02.679 --> 00:57:07.280
for he recalled the prediction of Amenophus, son of Pappus. First,

657
00:57:07.400 --> 00:57:09.760
he gathered a multitude of Egyptians,
and, having taken counsel of the leading

658
00:57:09.880 --> 00:57:14.440
men. Among them, he summoned
to their presence the sacred animals, which

659
00:57:14.480 --> 00:57:16.960
were held in greatest reverence in the
temple, and gave instructions to each group

660
00:57:17.039 --> 00:57:22.199
of priests to conceal the images of
the gods as securely as possible. And

661
00:57:22.360 --> 00:57:25.079
for his five year old son,
Repsies, he sent him away safely to

662
00:57:25.280 --> 00:57:30.000
his friend. He then crossed the
Nile with many as three hundred thousand of

663
00:57:30.039 --> 00:57:32.920
the previous warriors of Egypt and met
the enemy, But instead of joining battle,

664
00:57:34.000 --> 00:57:37.199
he decided that he must not fight
against the gods, and made a

665
00:57:37.280 --> 00:57:40.840
hasty retreat to Memphis. There he
took into his charge Appus and the other

666
00:57:40.960 --> 00:57:45.239
sacred animals which he had summoned to
that place, and forthwith he sent off

667
00:57:45.320 --> 00:57:50.320
for Ethiopia with the whole army.
At the hosts of the Egyptians, the

668
00:57:50.400 --> 00:57:53.880
Ethiopian king, who in gratitude for
a service had become his subject, welcomed

669
00:57:53.960 --> 00:57:59.159
him, maintained the whole multitude,
with such products of the country as were

670
00:57:59.239 --> 00:58:02.840
fit for human consumption, assigned to
them cities and villages sufficient for the destined

671
00:58:04.000 --> 00:58:08.440
period of thirteen years banishment from the
realm, and especially stationed an Ethiopian army

672
00:58:08.519 --> 00:58:13.719
on the frontiers of Egypt to guard
King Amenophas and his follower. Meanwhile,

673
00:58:14.159 --> 00:58:19.400
the Solomites or Dwillers in Jerusalem made
a descent among the polluted Egyptians and treated

674
00:58:19.440 --> 00:58:22.760
the people so impiously and savagely.
At the domination of the shepherds seemed like

675
00:58:22.760 --> 00:58:27.880
a golden age to those who witnessed
the present enormities, for not only did

676
00:58:27.960 --> 00:58:30.920
they set towns and villages on fire, pillaging the temples, and mutilating images

677
00:58:30.960 --> 00:58:34.719
of the gods without restraint, but
they also made a practice of using the

678
00:58:34.760 --> 00:58:37.519
sanctuaries as kitchens to roast the sacred
animals which people worship, and they would

679
00:58:37.559 --> 00:58:42.599
compel the priests and prophets to sacrifice
and butcher the beasts, afterwards casting the

680
00:58:42.679 --> 00:58:45.320
men forth naked. Is had the
priests who framed their constitution and their laws.

681
00:58:45.559 --> 00:58:52.400
Was a native of Heliopolis named Osarsif
and after the god Osiris, worshiped

682
00:58:52.440 --> 00:58:55.760
at Fiatlus, But when he joined
the people, he changed his name and

683
00:58:57.000 --> 00:59:01.159
was called Moses. Thirteen years later, this being the destined time of exile.

684
00:59:01.360 --> 00:59:06.360
Amenophus, according to Minitho, advanced
from Ethiopia with a large army and

685
00:59:06.559 --> 00:59:09.280
joined battle against the shepherds and the
polluted people. He defeated them, killing

686
00:59:09.360 --> 00:59:14.119
many and pursuing them to the frontiers
of Syria. This is certainly not the

687
00:59:14.239 --> 00:59:17.719
story of Moses you heard in Sunday
school. In this tale, which Josephus

688
00:59:17.760 --> 00:59:22.559
said was a modern folklore, a
priest named Osariseph was the leader of an

689
00:59:22.719 --> 00:59:29.400
enslaved Leper colony. He was himself
an Egyptian, but he invited the shepherds

690
00:59:29.480 --> 00:59:34.519
from Jerusalem to come and invade.
These shepherds were the Hixos, an earlier

691
00:59:34.639 --> 00:59:37.800
Semitic group that had ruled Egypt for
about a century. And accordingly, we

692
00:59:37.880 --> 00:59:40.360
don't know if they're Julia Semitic people
or not. We don't know if they're

693
00:59:40.639 --> 00:59:45.800
the Heughes. If we will ring
to Benitho, they had already been kicked

694
00:59:45.800 --> 00:59:49.440
out before the rise of Osarsef.
In other words, this story is not

695
00:59:49.559 --> 00:59:52.960
about the Bible or the Jews.
Where did this tell of Leper's ruling Egypt

696
00:59:53.079 --> 00:59:58.760
come from? Why was it said
to have lasted thirteen years? According to

697
00:59:58.880 --> 01:00:04.199
egyptologist jan Asman, the stories about
the religious reforms of Aka Natan, the

698
01:00:04.280 --> 01:00:09.239
pharaoh who pioneered something much like monotheism, establishing a new city, Amarna.

699
01:00:09.559 --> 01:00:14.519
In this city, he promoted his
new cult to the Aten. The sun

700
01:00:14.639 --> 01:00:19.800
disc Akkan Natin reduced the funding of
the traditional priesthood, and the pharaoh was

701
01:00:19.920 --> 01:00:23.360
reviled for his new religious movement.
On top of that, a terrible epidemic

702
01:00:23.519 --> 01:00:29.840
came through which was called the Canaanite
disease, adding proof to the average Egyptian

703
01:00:29.960 --> 01:00:34.039
that the gods did not favor these
religious reforms. No wonder then that the

704
01:00:34.119 --> 01:00:37.960
statues of Aka Natan were destroyed,
his name etched out from inscriptions, and

705
01:00:38.079 --> 01:00:43.880
his sarcophagus desecrated. Egypt tried to
forget him, but the trauma of his

706
01:00:44.039 --> 01:00:47.679
reforms lived on. Take a look
at this steely that was erected not long

707
01:00:47.840 --> 01:00:52.000
after trying to restore the greatness of
the past, and speaking of the bad

708
01:00:52.119 --> 01:00:58.719
times as the land being filled with
surpassing suffering or grave disease. The temples

709
01:00:58.719 --> 01:01:01.800
were desolated, holy places were in
the verge of disintegration. They had become

710
01:01:01.920 --> 01:01:06.840
piles of rubbel, overgrown with thistles. Their chapels were as if they had

711
01:01:06.920 --> 01:01:10.079
never been. Their temples precinct were
trodden roads. The land was in grave

712
01:01:10.119 --> 01:01:13.800
ailment. The gods had turned their
back on this land. If one sent

713
01:01:13.880 --> 01:01:16.239
soldiers to Syria to extend the frontiers
of Egypt, they had no success.

714
01:01:16.519 --> 01:01:20.239
If one appealed to the gods for
succor, they did not come. If

715
01:01:20.280 --> 01:01:22.719
one prosodic goddess, likewise, she
came not. Their hearts had grown weak

716
01:01:22.760 --> 01:01:28.039
in their bodies, for they had
destroyed what had been created. These are

717
01:01:28.079 --> 01:01:31.360
the words of Akannatan's own son,
King Tut, and he describes his father's

718
01:01:31.400 --> 01:01:36.400
reign in terms of trauma. Look
again at the story of Osarseph. He

719
01:01:36.559 --> 01:01:40.679
also instituted a new religious order,
focused on one God and not to worship

720
01:01:40.800 --> 01:01:45.880
any others. This sounds like an
echo of the reforms of Akanat. And

721
01:01:45.960 --> 01:01:50.559
how long did Akanatan rule in Amara
About thirteen years, just like in the

722
01:01:50.679 --> 01:01:53.599
story. But what about the lepers? Well, leprosy was treated in the

723
01:01:53.719 --> 01:02:00.360
same sort by the Egyptians as did
the Jews. According to Leviticus thirty through

724
01:02:00.480 --> 01:02:05.360
fourteen, a leper was an unclean
person separate from the divine, So having

725
01:02:05.400 --> 01:02:08.159
an entire kingdom of lepers would be
a sure way to say it was a

726
01:02:08.280 --> 01:02:14.000
godless society. The tale of Osarseph
looks much more like the story of an

727
01:02:14.079 --> 01:02:19.320
Egyptian pharaoh who was reviled and whose
memory was left to rot in the imagination

728
01:02:19.639 --> 01:02:23.800
of the Egyptian people, and then
somehow he became known as Moses. Why

729
01:02:24.199 --> 01:02:30.559
there is nothing in the story told
by Manitho that made Moses a Jew,

730
01:02:30.840 --> 01:02:36.199
quite the opposite. He was an
Egyptian priest and named after the god Osiris.

731
01:02:36.440 --> 01:02:38.639
Only Semitic people in the story were
the shepherds, that is, the

732
01:02:38.760 --> 01:02:44.119
Hixos. These were not Jews,
even though they were said to have moved

733
01:02:44.199 --> 01:02:47.960
to and then invaded from Palestine.
In fact, the name of Moses seems

734
01:02:49.039 --> 01:02:53.559
to be a gloss onto the original
Osarsef Teale. Maniito is trying to connect

735
01:02:53.599 --> 01:02:59.960
this folk tale to another folk figure
in Egyptian imagination, and hecateus all read

736
01:03:00.000 --> 01:03:05.039
and he told us about that Moses. It seems Minitho is conflating together the

737
01:03:05.159 --> 01:03:10.280
brave colonists Moses and the leper king
Osarseef, because they both involved the Egyptian

738
01:03:10.320 --> 01:03:15.599
colonization the land of Palestine, and
the key figures were leaders and lawgivers.

739
01:03:15.800 --> 01:03:20.599
In other words, there is nothing
to do with the exodus story of the

740
01:03:20.679 --> 01:03:25.280
Bible The only commonality is the name
of Moses. But we already saw the

741
01:03:25.400 --> 01:03:30.960
Moses described by Hecateus has nothing to
do with the Moses within the pages of

742
01:03:30.000 --> 01:03:35.639
the Bible. Stepping back, one
has to wonder where did Moses come from?

743
01:03:35.880 --> 01:03:39.440
The Moses of Hecateus and the Moses
of Exodus are so different. Can

744
01:03:39.480 --> 01:03:44.639
they even be the same person?
Do they at least have the same mother?

745
01:03:45.000 --> 01:03:49.280
Who is your daddy and what does
he do? Let's actually look at

746
01:03:49.440 --> 01:03:54.320
the birth of Moses again, and
let's see the legendary layers unfold. Birth

747
01:03:54.559 --> 01:04:04.119
story of Moses. All right,
tell me you've heard this story before.

748
01:04:04.880 --> 01:04:09.840
My mother was a high priestess.
My father I knew, not my high

749
01:04:09.880 --> 01:04:13.320
priestess mother conceived me in secret.
She bore me. She sent me in

750
01:04:13.360 --> 01:04:15.840
a basket of russies with bitchumen.
She sealed my lid. She cast me

751
01:04:15.880 --> 01:04:19.119
into the river, which rose over
me. The river bore me up and

752
01:04:19.239 --> 01:04:23.599
carried me to Aki the water drawer. Aki the water drawer took me as

753
01:04:23.639 --> 01:04:27.760
his son and reared me. Seems
like the same basic outline of the Moses

754
01:04:27.840 --> 01:04:30.960
story. But the author of this
was not Moses. Oh no, dear

755
01:04:31.119 --> 01:04:36.519
viewer, This comes from the autobiographic
inscriptions of Sargon, of a god who

756
01:04:36.639 --> 01:04:42.920
rolled almost a millennium before the exodus
allegedly took place. The fragments of this

757
01:04:43.079 --> 01:04:47.760
story exist in inscriptions older than any
manuscript of the Moses story. It looks

758
01:04:47.840 --> 01:04:53.119
like Sargon might have had company while
floating down the river, because other heroic

759
01:04:53.239 --> 01:04:58.840
figures were also basket cases as far
away as India. In the famous Epic

760
01:04:58.920 --> 01:05:03.199
of Mahabara, the demi god Karna
was abandoned in a little arc that is

761
01:05:03.519 --> 01:05:09.639
drawn out of the Genghis River by
the wife of a charioteer. Closer to

762
01:05:09.800 --> 01:05:14.920
Judea, the twin founders of Rome, Romulus and Remus placed in a trough

763
01:05:15.159 --> 01:05:18.559
and left to float in the Tiber
River, saved by landing in the branches

764
01:05:18.639 --> 01:05:25.719
of a fig tree and eventually rescued
by friendly animals and then later by swineherd.

765
01:05:25.880 --> 01:05:30.079
How many baby heroes were getting their
swimming lessons this way? Was it

766
01:05:30.239 --> 01:05:33.440
really the best way to save a
baby by having them float away to unknown

767
01:05:33.559 --> 01:05:38.960
places? If you think these are
plausible biographies, you might not be fit

768
01:05:39.119 --> 01:05:42.239
to be a parent. However,
if you're like me and you see them

769
01:05:42.280 --> 01:05:46.199
as tropes in mythical stories. Then
you have to ask yourself, how is

770
01:05:46.320 --> 01:05:53.039
Moses any different? What could make
the story of Moses's birth even more mythical?

771
01:05:53.159 --> 01:05:57.599
How about this? Moses was rescued
by an Egyptian goddess. In the

772
01:05:57.679 --> 01:06:00.840
fan fiction written after Exodus, the
gaps in the story are filled in,

773
01:06:01.159 --> 01:06:04.880
and one detail that had to be
filled was the name of Pharaoh's daughter.

774
01:06:05.039 --> 01:06:10.000
Who was this woman who found and
drew Moses out of the nile? In

775
01:06:10.079 --> 01:06:14.559
the tradition preserved by Josephus and in
the Book of Jubilees, a book found

776
01:06:14.599 --> 01:06:17.960
among the Dead Sea scrolls, her
name was Thermuthus. That name is a

777
01:06:18.079 --> 01:06:24.119
form of the name of the snake
deity Rennu Nutet, often depicted sitting on

778
01:06:24.199 --> 01:06:27.559
a throne. She was a protector
of the pharaoh from birth to death.

779
01:06:27.840 --> 01:06:32.239
Her name perhaps gives away her function, as the name Renu Nutet or Thermuthus

780
01:06:32.519 --> 01:06:36.719
comes from the verb that means to
nurse. Perhaps, then, no wonder,

781
01:06:36.840 --> 01:06:42.719
the goddess of nursing would save and
nurse the infant Moses. Oh,

782
01:06:43.199 --> 01:06:47.199
but the detail minded among you will
point out that in Exodus two seven through

783
01:06:47.320 --> 01:06:53.440
nine, it is not pharaoh's daughter
who nurses the child, but amazingly Moses's

784
01:06:53.599 --> 01:06:57.960
own mother. The same is true
in Jubileese forty seven, and even this

785
01:06:58.199 --> 01:07:01.679
detail can be understood when looking at
Egyptian religion at the time of composition.

786
01:07:02.000 --> 01:07:06.920
In that time, the cult of
Thermuthus was combining with that of the goddess

787
01:07:08.079 --> 01:07:13.559
Isis, perhaps the most important goddess
in Egyptian religion. In iconography, far

788
01:07:13.760 --> 01:07:17.159
more often is it Isis that nurses
a child, and in those depictions of

789
01:07:17.280 --> 01:07:23.159
Isis nursing a babe, often the
child is found on or in a basket.

790
01:07:23.440 --> 01:07:28.800
It seems then we might not have
one but two goddesses brought into the

791
01:07:28.880 --> 01:07:33.280
story of Moses' birth, two goddesses
that the Egyptians themselves had paired up.

792
01:07:33.519 --> 01:07:40.440
Jewish interpreters of Isis would say she
was actually Eve, the mother of all

793
01:07:40.599 --> 01:07:45.519
living. So if Isis was associated
with anything in Judaism, it was motherhood.

794
01:07:45.679 --> 01:07:48.840
And if one goddess was going to
help rescue and take care of baby

795
01:07:48.920 --> 01:07:55.360
Moses, why not another and have
that goddess be the quintessential mother goddess of

796
01:07:55.440 --> 01:08:01.639
the pharaoh himself. The Isis and
Thermuthus goddess ring also had one other function,

797
01:08:02.440 --> 01:08:08.199
saving the god Osiris. In the
ancient myth of the Death and Resurrection

798
01:08:08.400 --> 01:08:13.440
of Osiris, his body was placed
in a wooden box and thrown into the

799
01:08:13.559 --> 01:08:17.399
Nile. A body in a box
floating down the Nile River that is starting

800
01:08:17.439 --> 01:08:23.199
to sound familiar, and in depictions
of that box, it is covered in

801
01:08:23.319 --> 01:08:29.039
growing planets while Isis and Thermuthus work
together to pull the box onto the land.

802
01:08:29.279 --> 01:08:33.199
This is a striking parallel to the
floating basket of Moses caught up in

803
01:08:33.279 --> 01:08:40.199
the reeds of the Nile and then
pulled out by the goddess sorry the woman

804
01:08:40.359 --> 01:08:46.000
named Thermuthus. According to David Flusser
and Shia Amorai Stark, the identification of

805
01:08:46.119 --> 01:08:49.880
Moses's foster mother with the Egyptian goddess
is but a small part of a much

806
01:08:50.000 --> 01:08:55.199
larger picture. It is an instructive
expression of one of the characteristic traits of

807
01:08:55.239 --> 01:08:58.600
Helen's de jewry, especially in that
of Egypt, and of its national self

808
01:08:58.640 --> 01:09:05.720
awareness Hellenistic Hellenistic three hundred BC.
And you'll see as we progress how they're

809
01:09:05.760 --> 01:09:16.199
pulling from much of the Greek mythology
and some of their histories and rewriting them.

810
01:09:16.680 --> 01:09:21.159
You'll see, You'll see howbographical they
are. Need to survive as Jews

811
01:09:21.239 --> 01:09:27.199
in such a surrounding resulted in the
development of specific Jewish Hellenistic apologetics. Thus

812
01:09:27.479 --> 01:09:32.000
the identification of an Egyptian goddess with
our Pharaoh's daughter belonging to the specific Jewish

813
01:09:32.079 --> 01:09:36.960
Hellenistic branch of apologetics. This type
of reaction arose from the clash between two

814
01:09:38.039 --> 01:09:42.560
cultures and civilization. You might be
saying, but that's not in the Bible,

815
01:09:42.800 --> 01:09:47.039
so it doesn't matter. Ah,
Look at what this text does mean.

816
01:09:47.640 --> 01:09:53.079
The person who wrote the Book of
Jubilees must have not only known the

817
01:09:53.199 --> 01:09:59.560
Exodus story, but he must have
known about Egyptian religious practices so well that

818
01:09:59.680 --> 01:10:03.640
he mimic and subvert them. If
some Jews knew the myths of other people

819
01:10:04.000 --> 01:10:09.479
and incorporated them into the stories of
their sacred figures, then the claim that

820
01:10:09.560 --> 01:10:14.279
the Jews who wrote the Torah could
not do that, that's proof that denial

821
01:10:14.760 --> 01:10:19.479
isn't just a river in Egypt.
Leaving aside the Judeo Christian biases to make

822
01:10:19.560 --> 01:10:24.840
the Exodus story history, we have
to admit the tell looks much more like

823
01:10:24.960 --> 01:10:30.359
a legendary embellishment than a historical account. Indeed, upon closer inspection, there

824
01:10:30.399 --> 01:10:34.640
are more strange details. According to
Exodus two five through ten, the daughter

825
01:10:34.800 --> 01:10:39.399
of the Pharaoh found the child in
the Nile river, and drawing him out,

826
01:10:39.640 --> 01:10:44.239
gave him the name Moses. Why
that name because there's a Hebrew verb

827
01:10:44.840 --> 01:10:49.039
masha that means to draw out,
So the baby was called Moshe. This

828
01:10:49.279 --> 01:10:54.239
is a form of the verb.
Specifically, the active partisple and that is

829
01:10:54.359 --> 01:11:00.479
strange for two reasons. First,
why is an Egyptian princess giving ab a

830
01:11:00.640 --> 01:11:04.720
Hebrew name Based on the meaning of
the word in Hebrew. The expected name

831
01:11:04.760 --> 01:11:09.960
of the baby should have been something
in Egyptian. But even the Hebrew doesn't

832
01:11:10.039 --> 01:11:13.760
make sense. Here's a little bit
of grammar to consider. Was the child

833
01:11:13.880 --> 01:11:16.960
in the Nile the one doing the
drawing out or was he the one drawn

834
01:11:17.119 --> 01:11:20.319
out? If it were the former
case, then the child was the one

835
01:11:20.640 --> 01:11:25.640
doing the action. If the latter, then it is something done to the

836
01:11:25.800 --> 01:11:30.239
child. In the first case,
that would be the active voice. The

837
01:11:30.359 --> 01:11:33.760
person does the action. In the
second case, that would be the passive

838
01:11:33.960 --> 01:11:39.000
voice. The action is done to
the person. In this story, it

839
01:11:39.119 --> 01:11:43.399
is clearly the case that the action
is done to the child. The child

840
01:11:43.680 --> 01:11:46.119
is drawn out of the water.
So why is he given a name based

841
01:11:46.199 --> 01:11:50.920
on the active instead of the passive
voice. Instead of being called Moche,

842
01:11:51.279 --> 01:11:57.800
he should have been called Machue.
There is indeed something strange with Moses's name.

843
01:11:58.000 --> 01:12:00.840
Scholars and commentators have noticed it for
at least a millennium. We will

844
01:12:00.880 --> 01:12:04.199
come back to this later, but
for now we will pause to say that

845
01:12:04.359 --> 01:12:09.520
the story as presented does not make
sense as history, and it has a

846
01:12:09.600 --> 01:12:14.840
strange plot hole. We will dive
into that plot hole, but let's look

847
01:12:14.960 --> 01:12:18.880
at more of the s and it's
nine thirteen now. I just want to

848
01:12:19.800 --> 01:12:24.680
make reference that in the description of
even on Speak for You Radio. If

849
01:12:24.720 --> 01:12:29.680
you go to the you know,
the section that has my podcast in it,

850
01:12:30.560 --> 01:12:34.680
you will find a link for the
book Priestcraft Beyond Babylon. I cover

851
01:12:34.840 --> 01:12:41.840
a lot of this and more stuff
in that book. I think everyone should

852
01:12:41.840 --> 01:12:45.920
take a look at it. There's
kindle versions, there's the Amazon paperback and

853
01:12:46.000 --> 01:12:51.239
the Amazon hardcover. There's also a
cheaper version on Barnes and Noble or Priestcraft

854
01:12:51.319 --> 01:12:59.880
Beyond Babylon. All right, thank
you? Yeah, And again there's a

855
01:13:00.079 --> 01:13:01.800
lot more to it. There's a
lot of stuff about the Freemasonic Order,

856
01:13:02.159 --> 01:13:08.079
the Jesuits, the history of the
Sabatin Francists, and Christian Zionism. All

857
01:13:08.159 --> 01:13:14.760
that stuff is in that book,
and a bigh just following the priest craft

858
01:13:14.760 --> 01:13:20.720
throughout history basically, and discussing Anke
and all those guys too. Wanas,

859
01:13:23.000 --> 01:13:27.359
there's a lot of interesting stuff in
there. Story of Moses, and see

860
01:13:27.840 --> 01:13:31.560
what else looks more like a legend
than a sober account of history. Moses

861
01:13:31.760 --> 01:13:42.199
and the Hellenic Hero. When it
comes to what is historically likely, we

862
01:13:42.279 --> 01:13:45.279
already have good reason of doubt the
story of Moses's birth, But it isn't

863
01:13:45.520 --> 01:13:50.039
like the Moses of the Bible was
anything less than legendary. The outline of

864
01:13:50.119 --> 01:13:54.199
his stories, in fact, so
standard. There's a name for it,

865
01:13:54.359 --> 01:13:59.520
the mythic hero, archetype or hero
pattern. The most famous version of the

866
01:13:59.600 --> 01:14:04.800
hero was published in the early twentieth
century by Fitzroy Richard Somerset, better known

867
01:14:04.880 --> 01:14:10.520
as Lord Raglan. He based his
model first on the story of a famous

868
01:14:10.600 --> 01:14:15.479
drama of a Greek king of Thebes, the mother loving Oedipus. Like other

869
01:14:15.640 --> 01:14:20.439
legends, the story of Oedipus also
involves a birth under unusual circumstances, with

870
01:14:20.560 --> 01:14:27.199
the infant nearly put to death,
but saved by chance or destiny and reared

871
01:14:27.279 --> 01:14:31.199
by adoptive parents. He then returns
to his kingdom, defeats a terrible monster,

872
01:14:31.600 --> 01:14:36.039
rules for a time, and then
loses favor with the gods and his

873
01:14:36.239 --> 01:14:43.319
subjects, and finally dies a mysterious
death in a faraway land. In fact,

874
01:14:43.680 --> 01:14:47.319
the gods personally see to his burial
in a hidden place. Look at

875
01:14:47.359 --> 01:14:53.079
the hero pattern and how well Moses
matches up. If you notice a green

876
01:14:53.239 --> 01:14:57.399
check on the right, then it
matches in some way, and many green

877
01:14:57.640 --> 01:15:02.079
checks means without a doubt, this
is the main focus. Sometimes there's an

878
01:15:02.359 --> 01:15:05.479
X, which means we haven't found
a match. On the left is the

879
01:15:05.600 --> 01:15:10.680
pattern element. The hero's mother is
a royal virgin. His father is a

880
01:15:10.800 --> 01:15:15.079
king, often a near relative of
his mother. Circumstances of his conception are

881
01:15:15.159 --> 01:15:18.119
unusual. He is reputed to be
the son of a god. At birth,

882
01:15:18.199 --> 01:15:21.560
an attempt is made to kill him. He is spirited away, reared

883
01:15:21.640 --> 01:15:27.199
by foster parents in a far country. We are told nothing of his childhood.

884
01:15:27.399 --> 01:15:30.399
On reaching manhood, he returns or
goes to his future kingdom, After

885
01:15:30.479 --> 01:15:34.600
a victory over the king and or
a giant dragon or a wild beast,

886
01:15:34.800 --> 01:15:40.239
he marries a princess, often the
daughter of his predecessor, becomes a king.

887
01:15:40.479 --> 01:15:45.479
For a time, he reigns uneventfully
prescribed laws. Of course, later

888
01:15:45.600 --> 01:15:49.000
he loses favor with the gods and
or his subjects, is driven from the

889
01:15:49.119 --> 01:15:54.479
throne and city. He meets with
a mysterious death, often at the top

890
01:15:54.560 --> 01:15:57.880
of a hill. His children,
if any, do not succeed him.

891
01:15:58.039 --> 01:16:02.079
His body is not buried one or
more holy scepters. As you can see,

892
01:16:02.159 --> 01:16:08.239
Moses fits the pattern almost perfectly,
getting twenty of the twenty two possible

893
01:16:08.319 --> 01:16:12.319
points, and that is only with
the biblical account. The expansion of his

894
01:16:12.399 --> 01:16:16.920
story by Josephus and others makes him
fit these points multiple times. If we

895
01:16:17.079 --> 01:16:21.439
compare this to other legendary figures,
Moses is one of the highest scoring people

896
01:16:21.800 --> 01:16:27.399
in all of ancient literature. Oedipus
fit twenty one of the twenty two criteria.

897
01:16:27.560 --> 01:16:32.159
The hero Theseus earned twenty, the
god Dionysus had nineteen, Romulus and

898
01:16:32.319 --> 01:16:39.119
Perseus both had eighteen. Heracles earned
seventeen, but Llerophon had sixteen, while

899
01:16:39.279 --> 01:16:45.840
Jason and Zeus had fifteen. Yes, this means Moses's story even more slavishly

900
01:16:45.079 --> 01:16:50.279
follows legendary tropes than that of Hercules. When we apply the same scale to

901
01:16:50.399 --> 01:16:56.119
other biblical figures, there is no
comparison. According to Raglan, Elijah could

902
01:16:56.319 --> 01:17:00.039
only have been said to have earned
nine points, while Joseph of earned twelve.

903
01:17:00.279 --> 01:17:04.479
As for historical people, even with
wild legends attached to them, they

904
01:17:04.560 --> 01:17:10.640
do not score so high. Alexander
the Great, who had fantastical novels devoted

905
01:17:10.640 --> 01:17:15.319
to him, only scored seven points. As Raglan counted, it's almost like

906
01:17:15.600 --> 01:17:19.520
real people don't have stories with so
many of these elements in their biography.

907
01:17:20.000 --> 01:17:26.000
Taking another dive into these heroic criteria, it is almost as if the writers

908
01:17:26.039 --> 01:17:30.199
of Exodus were trying to make Moses
fit the pattern on purpose. Take his

909
01:17:30.399 --> 01:17:35.079
lineage. Moses's father, Amran,
is a descendant of Levi, the founding

910
01:17:35.159 --> 01:17:40.199
father of the tribe of Levi.
According to Exodus six sixteen through twenty,

911
01:17:40.319 --> 01:17:45.199
Amran is the grandchild of Levi.
But according to Numbers twenty six fifty nine,

912
01:17:45.439 --> 01:17:49.319
Moses's mother, Jakobed, was the
daughter of Levi himself. Okay,

913
01:17:49.800 --> 01:17:54.199
maybe the family tree of Moses is
a little too similar to that in the

914
01:17:54.319 --> 01:17:59.520
Game of Thrones. However, let's
step past the cringiness of this marriage.

915
01:17:59.680 --> 01:18:02.720
Who I ever wrote this story also
likely had the same sort of reaction as

916
01:18:02.800 --> 01:18:08.119
you did. And in the Greek
translation of Exodus six twenty jakobed Is made

917
01:18:08.159 --> 01:18:12.319
to be a cousin instead of an
aunt of Amran. And yet the older

918
01:18:12.479 --> 01:18:15.520
Hebrew author wanted to tell the story
that way. It's almost as if they

919
01:18:15.640 --> 01:18:20.399
knew that a hero needed to have
such a strange family. Take for example,

920
01:18:20.520 --> 01:18:26.520
King Oedipus, his mother Jocasta and
his father Leis, both descendants of

921
01:18:26.600 --> 01:18:30.600
the founder of Thebes, Cadmus.
In this case, Leis was the great

922
01:18:30.640 --> 01:18:35.279
grandson of Cadmus, while Jacasta was
the great great granddaughter. As Oedipus would

923
01:18:35.319 --> 01:18:40.760
later marry his own mother and have
children. There you are looking at a

924
01:18:41.039 --> 01:18:45.119
tight knit family tree to mimic such
an unusual genealogy in the case of Moses,

925
01:18:45.319 --> 01:18:50.119
with an even shorter number of branches
between Moses' parents than in the case

926
01:18:50.159 --> 01:18:55.000
of Oedipus, and you have to
think this was a conscious decision on the

927
01:18:55.079 --> 01:18:59.439
part of the writer, or else
there were some decisions by the Levite family

928
01:18:59.520 --> 01:19:02.560
members that we might want a question
to put it mildly, We can also

929
01:19:02.640 --> 01:19:06.399
compare the death of Oedipus and that
of Moses. Neither go down without a

930
01:19:06.479 --> 01:19:13.560
long series of speeches. In the
play Oedipus at Colonus, written by Sophocles

931
01:19:13.800 --> 01:19:16.920
and performed in four oh one BCE, the blind king comes to a small

932
01:19:17.000 --> 01:19:23.079
town outside of Athens to finally die. He makes several speeches and prophecies,

933
01:19:23.439 --> 01:19:27.479
see signs from Zeus that the time
has come, and then the hero Fasis

934
01:19:27.840 --> 01:19:31.159
personally leads him to a secret place
to be buried, such that no one

935
01:19:31.239 --> 01:19:38.119
else would know where Oedipus's body was, and thus provides supernatural protection to Athens.

936
01:19:38.560 --> 01:19:42.359
Now look at Moses, in his
dying days, is told by God

937
01:19:42.479 --> 01:19:45.880
that he would not enter the Promised
Land and would soon die. Moses then

938
01:19:45.960 --> 01:19:50.760
gives a long closing speech, the
Song of Moses in Deuteronomy thirty two,

939
01:19:51.039 --> 01:19:56.119
makes a final set of prophecies,
and then dies in a hidden place under

940
01:19:56.199 --> 01:20:00.800
divine supervision. There seems to be
a template followed between these death scenes,

941
01:20:00.000 --> 01:20:06.640
but we shouldn't claim to see genetic
connections thematic connections. Definitely structural similarities,

942
01:20:08.079 --> 01:20:12.800
sure, history. Let's back up
a bit and look again at the larger

943
01:20:12.920 --> 01:20:16.159
pattern and some trends. What is
telling here is that the hero pattern of

944
01:20:16.279 --> 01:20:21.239
Raglan is a better fit to mythical
figures in Greece and Roman stories than those

945
01:20:21.319 --> 01:20:27.640
from Egypt or the Middle East Southwest. Asian figures like Gilgamesh do not score

946
01:20:27.760 --> 01:20:32.600
so high as Moses, for example. This hero archetype is especially Hellenistic.

947
01:20:32.720 --> 01:20:38.600
Even other Biblical figures are not so
like these Greek heroes as Moses. Is

948
01:20:38.640 --> 01:20:42.880
it just a coincidence that Moses is
portrayed like a Hellenic hero? The numbers

949
01:20:42.920 --> 01:20:45.600
suggest a big no. Now,
the parts of the pattern above are so

950
01:20:45.760 --> 01:20:50.600
widely applied in Western myths and legends
that we cannot use it for genetic connection

951
01:20:50.800 --> 01:20:55.800
between Moses and any one such Greek
figure. So if we want to get

952
01:20:55.840 --> 01:21:00.279
to the core of what the tales
of Moses are about and where they come

953
01:21:00.319 --> 01:21:04.520
from, we must excavate even more. In the legendary DNA of this man,

954
01:21:05.079 --> 01:21:16.439
we can find a lineage of lore
primary source for Exodus myth, a

955
01:21:16.560 --> 01:21:20.680
further indication that the story of Moses
leading the Hebrews out of Egypt is a

956
01:21:20.800 --> 01:21:26.960
myth concerns the forty years spent in
the desert of Kadesh Barnea. According to

957
01:21:27.039 --> 01:21:30.760
the Bible, some two million people
are able to wander around the desert for

958
01:21:30.880 --> 01:21:35.680
forty years without finding their way out, and without starving or dying of thirst.

959
01:21:35.920 --> 01:21:41.720
They are provided with a magical substance
called manna itself a mythical trope.

960
01:21:41.840 --> 01:21:45.560
Divine elixirs and golden apples, nectar
of the gods, and peaches of immortality.

961
01:21:45.840 --> 01:21:50.560
Magical foodstuffs play important roles in mythology. It doesn't get any easier for

962
01:21:50.680 --> 01:21:57.680
someone seeking credibility in this extraordinary tell
We have archaeological evidence of Bedouin tribes at

963
01:21:57.720 --> 01:22:01.520
the time in Kadesh Barnea, creating
ten settlements and using a few tools and

964
01:22:01.640 --> 01:22:06.399
making fires, But we don't have
any evidence of an entire population of Hebrews

965
01:22:06.640 --> 01:22:11.960
living and working as slaves in Egypt
for all those years, breaking out whilst

966
01:22:12.119 --> 01:22:16.199
doing the whole host of miracles,
all while there were ten plagues ravaging the

967
01:22:16.279 --> 01:22:21.039
land, crossing the Red Sea,
and the sea miraculously parting and destroying the

968
01:22:21.119 --> 01:22:27.640
Egyptian army following along. And then
we have absolutely no evidence of perhaps two

969
01:22:27.720 --> 01:22:31.159
million people wandering around the desert with
all their animals, tents, and supplies

970
01:22:31.520 --> 01:22:35.760
for forty years. We have evidence
of a few Bedouin tribespeople, but no

971
01:22:35.920 --> 01:22:45.600
evidence of two million former slaves literally
none, zip zero. Here's another thing

972
01:22:45.680 --> 01:22:50.359
to consider. They were armed.
Why would slaves be allowed to leave in

973
01:22:50.479 --> 01:22:56.079
an exodus and also be armed because
when they come across the Cannites supposedly and

974
01:22:56.239 --> 01:23:02.560
other people, of course, they
engage in war right Nada. And yet

975
01:23:02.720 --> 01:23:08.520
there is still scope for more mythological
traits besides a baby in a basket.

976
01:23:08.720 --> 01:23:12.840
The Hebrews were supposed to have been
wandering around for forty years. Forty is

977
01:23:12.840 --> 01:23:16.640
a very significant and symbolic number within
the Bible. Burning bush appeared to Moses

978
01:23:16.680 --> 01:23:21.000
after he had spent forty years in
Midian. Moses stayed up on the mountain

979
01:23:21.119 --> 01:23:27.439
for forty days and forty nights in
receiving God's laws. During his time in

980
01:23:27.520 --> 01:23:30.680
the desert, heavy rains fell for
forty days and forty nights to fill the

981
01:23:30.760 --> 01:23:35.319
earth with water to the highest mountains. Saw. David and Solomon were each

982
01:23:35.439 --> 01:23:40.239
said to have ruled for forty years, and the story of David and Goliath

983
01:23:40.359 --> 01:23:45.279
in First Samuel seventeen we see Goliath
taunting the Israelites for forty days, and

984
01:23:45.359 --> 01:23:48.520
in the emulation of Moses and the
Hebrews being in the wilderness for forty years,

985
01:23:48.720 --> 01:23:54.079
we have Jesus spending forty days in
his own wilderness. While it might

986
01:23:54.239 --> 01:23:58.840
just be that all of these events
took exactly that amount of time and some

987
01:23:59.119 --> 01:24:02.880
strange twist to fate or under the
guidance of God who really liked the number

988
01:24:03.000 --> 01:24:08.359
forty, it is much more likely
that this is symbology applied to a tall

989
01:24:08.479 --> 01:24:13.039
tail by a creative narrator wanting his
audience to make links. The use of

990
01:24:13.119 --> 01:24:15.199
this number talks more. It has
more to do, I believe, with

991
01:24:15.399 --> 01:24:21.479
the ritual that they're describing in cryptic
language, more of myth than of history,

992
01:24:21.800 --> 01:24:29.159
symbolism than literalism. The wilderness desert
wandering from Egypt with well over literally

993
01:24:29.239 --> 01:24:34.119
two million people is completely absent from
any archaeological evidence, so several biblical defenders

994
01:24:34.199 --> 01:24:40.079
will find ways to save the text
from this fatal issue of historical validity.

995
01:24:40.399 --> 01:24:44.279
Some ways they do this is to
assume the numbers reflect a later period of

996
01:24:44.439 --> 01:24:48.359
Israel's population. The numbers are symbolic, it's hyperbole, or it was a

997
01:24:48.520 --> 01:24:54.720
mistranslation. Why do they do this
Because it's not only absurd, lacking any

998
01:24:54.840 --> 01:24:59.399
evidence to support the literal reading of
this massive group from leaving Egypt, but

999
01:24:59.520 --> 01:25:04.159
it also logistically impossible. Imagine a
line of people stretching for two hundred miles.

1000
01:25:04.399 --> 01:25:09.239
That's like walking from New York City
to Boston. Now, if a

1001
01:25:09.359 --> 01:25:12.960
person might walk twenty miles in a
day, maybe even twenty three if they're

1002
01:25:13.000 --> 01:25:15.880
in a hurry, but add families. See, I don't agree with these

1003
01:25:15.920 --> 01:25:19.920
numbers that he says right here,
because I did a hike with about a

1004
01:25:20.000 --> 01:25:24.359
fifty pounds backpack on me, and
I went about twenty sex. I wants

1005
01:25:24.439 --> 01:25:27.520
the full marathon per day. And
that's if I just walked eight hours a

1006
01:25:27.600 --> 01:25:31.640
day and I averaged about twenty six
miles a day with heavyweight on my back,

1007
01:25:32.159 --> 01:25:38.479
and I did that, oddly enough
for forty days, kids, grandparents,

1008
01:25:38.560 --> 01:25:42.279
and some animals. That pace slows
down to about six miles a day,

1009
01:25:42.520 --> 01:25:45.000
So by the time the front of
the line is making its way across

1010
01:25:45.119 --> 01:25:48.960
the sea, the back of the
line might still be weeks away. The

1011
01:25:49.000 --> 01:25:55.960
Biblical text says people typically, depending
on their heightened stride, will walk about

1012
01:25:56.000 --> 01:26:00.039
three point two miles in a normal
pace for hours. So if you do

1013
01:26:00.119 --> 01:26:03.560
eight hours, just do the math. They did this in one night.

1014
01:26:03.920 --> 01:26:08.319
Some folks have done the math to
see if it's possible. There are a

1015
01:26:08.399 --> 01:26:12.079
lot of things that just don't add
up about the story being a real historical

1016
01:26:12.119 --> 01:26:15.439
event, since the idea of the
exis as described by the Bible is fatally

1017
01:26:15.520 --> 01:26:20.560
flawed. Other academics have different approaches
to solving this enigma. Some scholars suggest

1018
01:26:20.720 --> 01:26:25.520
that we know of accounts where a
few runaway slaves have fled Egypt, and

1019
01:26:25.640 --> 01:26:30.079
think it's possible this story grew over
time into a much bigger legend. Let

1020
01:26:30.119 --> 01:26:32.279
me give you an example. While
fishing, some of my friends would catch

1021
01:26:32.319 --> 01:26:36.680
a decent sized fish on the river. Later on, when retelling their experience,

1022
01:26:36.920 --> 01:26:42.720
the fish just so happened to be
twice the size of the actual fish

1023
01:26:42.800 --> 01:26:45.399
they originally caught. People tell stories, and they grow larger over time,

1024
01:26:45.640 --> 01:26:49.319
like a snowball rolling downhill, picking
up more snow along the way. Some

1025
01:26:49.520 --> 01:26:56.439
academics suggest the exodus narrative was inspired
by the Hixos expulsion. Josiphis, a

1026
01:26:56.640 --> 01:27:00.800
historical writer, and many other old
timing authors thought that the group called the

1027
01:27:00.880 --> 01:27:05.000
Hixos were actually the same as the
Jews. Using stories from another writer named

1028
01:27:05.079 --> 01:27:10.600
Manitho, Josephus suggests that after the
Hixsos were kicked out of Egypt, they

1029
01:27:10.680 --> 01:27:14.800
started the city of Jerusalem. Now
there's a bit of a debate here,

1030
01:27:15.399 --> 01:27:20.479
as the original writings of Mitho didn't
specifically call the Hixos Jews or Hebrews.

1031
01:27:20.760 --> 01:27:26.520
Things get a bit twisty when Josephus
tells another story, which we quoted earlier.

1032
01:27:26.720 --> 01:27:30.680
He claims that about two hundred years
after the Hixos were sent away from

1033
01:27:30.760 --> 01:27:34.439
Egypt, a bunch of sick people
led by a guy named Osarisef, were

1034
01:27:34.800 --> 01:27:41.199
also expelled. The sick folks joined
up with the Hiksos took over Egypt for

1035
01:27:41.279 --> 01:27:45.479
a little over a decade. We're
pretty mean rulers. They even wrecked some

1036
01:27:45.680 --> 01:27:50.880
temples. After all this drama,
this Osarisef guy changes his name to wait

1037
01:27:50.960 --> 01:27:58.079
for it, Moses. Some researchers
think this wild story mixes up different parts

1038
01:27:58.119 --> 01:28:00.760
of history, and the whole Moses
Knew drop might have been added later.

1039
01:28:01.079 --> 01:28:05.760
Some even doubt that Manitho wrote that
second story at all. It's like ancient

1040
01:28:06.000 --> 01:28:12.239
historical gossip and figuring out the truth
is a real puzzle. Most modern experts

1041
01:28:12.359 --> 01:28:16.159
think the Egyptian stories in the Bible
can't be proven with historical methods. However,

1042
01:28:16.399 --> 01:28:20.079
some have tried to link the stories
from the Hixos era to the Bible's

1043
01:28:20.119 --> 01:28:26.479
Exitus story. For example, scholars
like jan Asman and Donald Redford think the

1044
01:28:26.560 --> 01:28:30.720
Biblical escape from Egypt might have been
influenced by when the Hixsos were kicked out

1045
01:28:30.720 --> 01:28:35.079
of Egypt. This idea isn't too
far off from the Bible's timeline, and

1046
01:28:35.119 --> 01:28:40.680
the Hicksos exit is the only big
time event we know where a group from

1047
01:28:40.800 --> 01:28:45.640
Asia was forced out of Egypt.
But other experts, like Manfred Betek have

1048
01:28:45.840 --> 01:28:50.159
issues with this idea. They highlight
the differences, like how the Hixos were

1049
01:28:50.279 --> 01:28:56.399
powerful traders and sailors in Egypt,
while the Bible depicts the Israelites as being

1050
01:28:56.439 --> 01:29:00.359
treated poorly. It's like trying to
match two puzzle pieces just don't fit perfectly.

1051
01:29:00.600 --> 01:29:05.199
Did the authors of the Exodus tradition
find inspiration from some Hixsos event?

1052
01:29:05.439 --> 01:29:10.600
It appears that the expulsion of the
Hiksos was circulating into the Christian era,

1053
01:29:10.880 --> 01:29:14.880
so it's easy to see why the
idea of an exodus happening as described by

1054
01:29:14.920 --> 01:29:17.600
the Bible as just off the table
as well as the conquest, But that

1055
01:29:17.760 --> 01:29:21.720
will need to be unraveled in a
future documentary. Professor Hebrew, Bible and

1056
01:29:21.800 --> 01:29:29.399
Jewish Studies Ronald Hindel and egyptologist jan
Osman suggests cultural memory as a solution to

1057
01:29:29.479 --> 01:29:34.119
the Moses enigma, Asman aims to
account for the complexities of the foundational event

1058
01:29:34.279 --> 01:29:40.800
through which Monotheism was established. His
book Moses the Egyptian goes back to the

1059
01:29:40.920 --> 01:29:46.720
short lived monotheistic revolution of the Egyptian
king akhannat thirteen sixty to thirteen forty BCE.

1060
01:29:47.359 --> 01:29:50.720
I want us to think of the
story of Moses as a patchwork quilt

1061
01:29:50.840 --> 01:29:56.920
of various sources. The person of
Moses evolves over time from our earliest mentions

1062
01:29:56.960 --> 01:30:03.359
of him in any sources Egyptian Manitha, Jewish Demetrius the Chronographer, Greek Hecateus

1063
01:30:03.399 --> 01:30:09.359
of Abdera, and later Christians.
It's pretty obvious that Egyptian sources would be

1064
01:30:09.439 --> 01:30:13.319
at place, since the entire story
happens to take place in Egypt, and

1065
01:30:13.399 --> 01:30:17.960
we have non biblical sources that also
mention Moses as an Egyptian priest. However,

1066
01:30:18.239 --> 01:30:24.520
the narrative structure of making an inventive
history, founding a nation with twelve

1067
01:30:24.680 --> 01:30:30.239
tribes, and forming a constitution for
these people has no closer parallels in this

1068
01:30:30.520 --> 01:30:33.920
world than with the Greeks. Several
scholars like Bruce Lauden, Thomas L.

1069
01:30:34.039 --> 01:30:41.279
Thompson, Jan viv Vasilius, John
vin Cedars, YEKEV. Kupets, Russell

1070
01:30:41.319 --> 01:30:46.720
Gamerkin, Philevagenbaum, etc. Think
the closest comparisons to the Bible's inventive histories

1071
01:30:46.960 --> 01:30:51.239
is the Greek writings. John vin
Cedars wrote a well known book called in

1072
01:30:51.399 --> 01:30:55.880
Search of History. In it,
he talks about how the historical writings from

1073
01:30:55.960 --> 01:31:00.279
ancient Israel compare with other old stories
from places like the Middle East. In

1074
01:31:00.359 --> 01:31:03.239
Greece, people have given his book
a lot of praise for bringing new ideas

1075
01:31:03.319 --> 01:31:08.279
to the table. Vin Cedars points
out that even though we have many old

1076
01:31:08.399 --> 01:31:13.239
stories from the Middle East, only
the ones from Greek writers are somewhat similar

1077
01:31:13.439 --> 01:31:16.239
to the Biblical stories in terms of
how they talk about the past. He

1078
01:31:16.359 --> 01:31:20.359
also thinks that the first five books
of the Bible, often called the Books

1079
01:31:20.399 --> 01:31:26.319
of Moses, shouldn't be compared too
closely with these other stories. Why because

1080
01:31:26.319 --> 01:31:30.399
a lot of what's in those books
might not be directly reflecting actual historical events.

1081
01:31:30.640 --> 01:31:38.399
However, Sarah Mandel and David Noel
Friedman wrote a book comparing the primary

1082
01:31:38.560 --> 01:31:43.399
history, which is Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua,

1083
01:31:43.600 --> 01:31:47.079
Judges, Samuel, and Kings,
and the histories by an ancient writer

1084
01:31:47.279 --> 01:31:53.239
named Herodotus. Herodotus was a writer
from a place called Halka Narsis who lived

1085
01:31:53.279 --> 01:31:58.279
around four ninety to four thirty BCE. He wrote a big, nine part

1086
01:31:58.399 --> 01:32:03.000
book named history, which means investigation. In this book, he talked about

1087
01:32:03.079 --> 01:32:10.880
battles between Greeks and Persians during the
time two Persian kings, Darius and Xerxes,

1088
01:32:11.399 --> 01:32:15.479
ruled around four ninety two to four
seventy nine BCE. But he didn't

1089
01:32:15.640 --> 01:32:18.239
just write about the battles. He
also dug deep into the history of Greece

1090
01:32:18.479 --> 01:32:24.359
in nearby regions over the past two
hundred years to explain why these fights started

1091
01:32:24.520 --> 01:32:28.439
in the first place. Their book
mainly looks at how these stories were put

1092
01:32:28.479 --> 01:32:31.640
together and edited, but they also
discussed the writing style and content. They

1093
01:32:31.720 --> 01:32:38.239
found some interesting similarities between the two
For example, both works are split into

1094
01:32:38.439 --> 01:32:44.960
nine parts, and interestingly, in
both the eighth and ninth sections there's a

1095
01:32:45.039 --> 01:32:48.600
break right in the middle of a
story. In Herodotus it's about a general

1096
01:32:48.760 --> 01:32:55.239
named Mardonius, and in the Bible
it's a detailed story that stretches from Second

1097
01:32:55.319 --> 01:33:00.720
Samuel nine to first King's tomb known
as King David's succession. Cool. Right.

1098
01:33:00.119 --> 01:33:04.039
If these scholars, along with Yon
vim Vasilius, are correct, then

1099
01:33:04.039 --> 01:33:10.800
the authors of the History of Israel
from Creation writing sometime after the exile may

1100
01:33:10.920 --> 01:33:16.079
have created a nine piece composition with
several sources helping them to create their history

1101
01:33:16.119 --> 01:33:21.319
of how their nation came to be
Yon vim Vasilius compared creating their history using

1102
01:33:23.000 --> 01:33:30.199
Greek sources that were available during the
Hellenistic era after the Jews were occupied by

1103
01:33:30.760 --> 01:33:33.560
the Greeks. Right, So this
is what the whole argument is here.

1104
01:33:34.239 --> 01:33:39.800
Once they were taught Greek and learned
to read and write in Greek, they

1105
01:33:39.880 --> 01:33:45.520
started developing their own history to be
like basically one on one upmanship on the

1106
01:33:45.560 --> 01:33:49.960
Greek. And the best way to
do that is to backdate your heroes to

1107
01:33:50.079 --> 01:33:54.920
say that they came prior and they
were the ones who taught the Greeks,

1108
01:33:55.159 --> 01:33:59.359
and that's what I referred to in
my book when I was quoting The Laughing

1109
01:33:59.439 --> 01:34:11.359
Jesus, which describes this the inconsistencies
in their telling, and basically describing the

1110
01:34:11.479 --> 01:34:15.319
Exodus as being a myth. There's
the historical narratives of the Hebrew Bible and

1111
01:34:15.600 --> 01:34:21.439
Herodotus's histories, focusing on parallels between
the stories of Joseph and Cyrus, as

1112
01:34:21.479 --> 01:34:27.560
well as Moses and Xerxes. He
argues that the accounts of Joseph and Cyrus,

1113
01:34:27.800 --> 01:34:30.119
which come at similar points in the
first halves of each work, have

1114
01:34:30.359 --> 01:34:36.439
striking similarities that suggest some influence or
shared source. Both Joseph and Cyrus have

1115
01:34:36.680 --> 01:34:43.359
dreams foretelling their eventual power, narrowly
avoid death due to the intervention of relatives,

1116
01:34:43.560 --> 01:34:47.199
go into obscurity for years before re
emerging, and gain power in nations

1117
01:34:47.319 --> 01:34:54.479
from which future conquests are launched.
He also sees parallels between Moses and Xerxes,

1118
01:34:54.720 --> 01:35:00.680
the leader of massive campaigns two generations
after Joseph and Cyrus, respectively.

1119
01:35:00.000 --> 01:35:06.640
Both reluctantly take on divine mandates to
invade distant lands, miraculously cross bodies of

1120
01:35:06.720 --> 01:35:12.560
water with huge armies that meet tragic
fates, face doubts about their missions,

1121
01:35:12.720 --> 01:35:16.840
and participate in archetypal battles. From
vantage points, the author argues that the

1122
01:35:16.960 --> 01:35:24.199
Exodus narrative broadly mirrors Xerxes's invasion of
Greece. Overall, he contends that the

1123
01:35:24.359 --> 01:35:30.000
extensive parallels in content and narrative position
between figures and events in the Hebrew Bible

1124
01:35:30.079 --> 01:35:34.680
and Herodotus' histories point to some influence
of the latter on the former. He

1125
01:35:34.840 --> 01:35:41.760
suggests that seeing primary history in light
of Herodotus can aid in properly understanding it

1126
01:35:41.880 --> 01:35:45.680
as an ancient Jewish work. They
showed on the screen the Sabbath day and

1127
01:35:45.800 --> 01:35:53.319
Keep It Holy that traditionally was the
day for Saturn, responding to contemporary ideas

1128
01:35:53.720 --> 01:35:58.640
and texts rather than a direct record
of Israelite history. While acknowledging that some

1129
01:35:58.840 --> 01:36:02.960
parallels may be once idental, he
argues that their cumulative weight makes his thesis

1130
01:36:03.199 --> 01:36:09.720
plausible. Here's an image from doctor
Vasilius's book Origin of the History of Israel

1131
01:36:09.960 --> 01:36:15.680
Herodotus Histories as Blueprint for the First
Books of the Bible, comparing the accounts

1132
01:36:15.720 --> 01:36:19.039
of Herodotus to the patriarchs in the
Bible. If you look at the image.

1133
01:36:19.319 --> 01:36:23.920
He'll show you where Cyrus, Joseph
and Levi. There's the end of

1134
01:36:23.960 --> 01:36:28.439
the first book. There's where that
break happens, and he compares both histories.

1135
01:36:28.760 --> 01:36:32.279
We might suggest that when the first
stories about Moses from his birth to

1136
01:36:32.439 --> 01:36:38.239
leaving Egypt were written, the Jewish
people had good memories of King Cyrus.

1137
01:36:38.479 --> 01:36:44.920
The writer, maybe a yahwist,
probably knew about stories by Herodotus about Cyrus

1138
01:36:45.000 --> 01:36:48.239
and the kings that followed him.
Some parts of those stories sound similar to

1139
01:36:48.359 --> 01:36:53.880
Moses's story, maybe on purpose or
maybe just because they were familiar. I

1140
01:36:53.960 --> 01:36:58.800
don't believe the Jewish writers made up
this Grand Moses story completely from scratch.

1141
01:36:59.039 --> 01:37:02.960
They might no, but they definitely
did it to deceive. Might have taken

1142
01:37:03.039 --> 01:37:09.159
inspiration from other stories, like those
of Herodotus. In some ways, Cyrus

1143
01:37:09.319 --> 01:37:14.239
is just like Moses. He was
a messiah to save Israel and helped get

1144
01:37:14.319 --> 01:37:17.720
the Israelites into the Promised Land after
being in Babylon, which could be seen

1145
01:37:17.760 --> 01:37:23.000
as a version of Egypt Scattering the
Israelites among the nations was a form of

1146
01:37:23.119 --> 01:37:28.359
wilderness experience, as explicitly compared by
the prophet Ezekiel. The authors living either

1147
01:37:28.439 --> 01:37:33.680
in the Persian period or Hellenistic are
anachronistically creating a history from creation down to

1148
01:37:33.760 --> 01:37:39.399
their day, with several flags signaling
what appears to be their experience with the

1149
01:37:39.520 --> 01:37:43.920
nations of Babylon, Persia, Egypt, and Greece. For a modern analogy,

1150
01:37:44.119 --> 01:37:48.640
the superhero film genre owes a great
debt to movies like Superman nineteen seventy

1151
01:37:48.680 --> 01:37:54.199
eight and Batman nineteen eighty nine.
Nowadays, it's hard to watch a superhero

1152
01:37:54.359 --> 01:38:00.840
film without noticing elements or ideas that
were popularized by these pioneering movies. Taking

1153
01:38:00.039 --> 01:38:04.279
one last look at the works of
Acilius, he argues that there are notable

1154
01:38:04.319 --> 01:38:11.880
parallels between the accounts of xerxes expedition
against Greece and Herodotus's histories and the Exodus

1155
01:38:12.000 --> 01:38:15.560
narrative about Moses in the Hebrew Bible. Both the Xerxes and Moses are initially

1156
01:38:15.640 --> 01:38:21.239
reluctant leaders who undertake campaigns at divine
urging the promised lands of Greece and Canaan

1157
01:38:21.319 --> 01:38:28.319
are depicted as rich and fertile before
their expeditions, both rulers experience portents like

1158
01:38:28.520 --> 01:38:32.920
darkness and death of firstborn sons,
the mustering of their armies is also described.

1159
01:38:33.199 --> 01:38:38.239
The crossing of the hellas pomp by
xerxes army and the crossing of the

1160
01:38:38.319 --> 01:38:43.840
Red Sea by the Israelites occur via
miraculous dividing of the waters. Afterwards,

1161
01:38:43.920 --> 01:38:48.640
the divinity is directly addressed. In
the campaigns. Xerxes and Moses receive warnings

1162
01:38:48.680 --> 01:38:54.039
about the difficulties ahead. There are
parallels between the complaints of the Israelites and

1163
01:38:54.439 --> 01:38:59.960
advice given to Xerxes. Provisioning the
multitudes is a logistical challenge in both counts.

1164
01:39:00.239 --> 01:39:04.479
The battle of Thermopyla corresponds to the
battle with Amelek. The leaders observed

1165
01:39:04.520 --> 01:39:12.560
from vantage points and are aided by
relatives. Advice after Thermopyli may parallel Jethro's

1166
01:39:12.640 --> 01:39:17.520
council to Moses on governance. Overall, he argues for literary connections between Herodotus's

1167
01:39:17.600 --> 01:39:24.399
histories and the Pentitude, with Xerxes'
campaign structurally paralleling the Exodus narrative. He

1168
01:39:24.479 --> 01:39:39.880
presents a detailed analysis of the correspondence
the cattle to the Sun God. Turning

1169
01:39:40.000 --> 01:39:44.960
now to doctor Bruce Lauden, who
received his PhD from the University of California

1170
01:39:44.960 --> 01:39:47.840
at Berkeley. He was super interested
in ancient stories and myths from places like

1171
01:39:47.960 --> 01:39:53.199
Greece and the Near East, as
well as classic works from Shakespeare, Milton,

1172
01:39:53.319 --> 01:39:56.439
and even some from India. He's
passed away, but his ideas are

1173
01:39:56.479 --> 01:40:00.319
still with us. He wrote a
wonderful book called Homer's Odyssey in the Near

1174
01:40:00.439 --> 01:40:04.159
East, which echoes much of what
doctor Philip Vasenbaum says about the Greek connections

1175
01:40:04.199 --> 01:40:08.840
to the Bible. He highlights the
significance of the three occurrences in the Bible

1176
01:40:08.880 --> 01:40:13.039
of women at the well being betrothed, which includes Moses meetings of Porrah,

1177
01:40:13.119 --> 01:40:17.439
and how this has parallel significance to
Homer's Odyssey. Loudon highlights the mythological genre

1178
01:40:17.600 --> 01:40:21.960
within these stories very well. He
says myths are like stories, ancient stories

1179
01:40:23.039 --> 01:40:27.560
that use classic elements we see over
and over, like scenes in a courtroom

1180
01:40:27.640 --> 01:40:31.600
of gods, or stories where someone
unexpectedly hosts a very special guest. They

1181
01:40:31.640 --> 01:40:36.199
also have common characters like heroes,
gods, or wise old figures. Just

1182
01:40:36.279 --> 01:40:41.800
like we have different genres of movies
today, like action, drama or comedy.

1183
01:40:41.920 --> 01:40:45.439
Myths also have genres or categories.
When people hear a myth, they

1184
01:40:45.560 --> 01:40:47.880
kind of know the general plot because
they're familiar with the genre, but there

1185
01:40:47.920 --> 01:40:51.960
are always little changes or local touches
and make each one unique. Now we're

1186
01:40:53.000 --> 01:40:57.479
going to show all the genre markers
parallel the myth of Moses and Odysseus from

1187
01:40:57.520 --> 01:41:01.640
Homer's Odyssey. The comparisons are actually
very shocking. Whether the Bible borrowed directly

1188
01:41:01.760 --> 01:41:09.000
from the Odyssey to craft it's Moses
myth some common source, or the elements

1189
01:41:09.000 --> 01:41:12.199
are known to be floating in the
air among people of the time, I

1190
01:41:12.279 --> 01:41:15.399
don't know. I find the last
one extremely unlikely, but you will see

1191
01:41:15.479 --> 01:41:20.479
why in the end of this study. The comparisons are undeniable. Are you

1192
01:41:20.560 --> 01:41:27.640
ready to have your mind blown?
Let's begin. Imagine a captivating adventure where

1193
01:41:27.640 --> 01:41:30.760
a leader with a strong connection to
a god is guiding his people home.

1194
01:41:31.800 --> 01:41:36.439
Along the way, his followers grow
impatient, and while he's away, they

1195
01:41:36.479 --> 01:41:42.119
break a major rules set by the
god when they're caught. Now, you

1196
01:41:42.239 --> 01:41:45.560
might be thinking of the famous tale
from ancient Greece where the hero Odysseus and

1197
01:41:45.640 --> 01:41:50.119
his crew faced numerous challenges on their
journey home. Or you might be thinking

1198
01:41:50.159 --> 01:41:55.199
of the story of Moses from the
Old Testament, leading the Israelites from Egypt.

1199
01:41:55.399 --> 01:42:00.600
Interestingly, in Odysseus's tale, his
crew rebels while on an eye called

1200
01:42:00.640 --> 01:42:04.319
Thrinakia with cattle to the sun god
Apollo, leading to a major disaster.

1201
01:42:04.560 --> 01:42:11.359
This event is quite similar to when
the Israelites in Moses's absence create and worship

1202
01:42:11.439 --> 01:42:15.560
a golden calf, angering their god
Yahweh. Both leaders, Moses and Odysseus

1203
01:42:15.720 --> 01:42:19.920
have a very close relationship with the
deity and play no part in their followers

1204
01:42:20.119 --> 01:42:25.880
rebellious acts. Yes, while the
disobedient followers face divine wrath, the leaders

1205
01:42:25.960 --> 01:42:30.159
are spared. However, there are
important differences too. For instance, while

1206
01:42:30.279 --> 01:42:33.960
Moses's people are traveling to a new
home, Odysseus and his crew are trying

1207
01:42:34.039 --> 01:42:38.279
to return to their old home.
Moses is seen as a prophet, whereas

1208
01:42:38.319 --> 01:42:43.279
Odysseus is a warrior and hero.
Despite these differences, both stories touch on

1209
01:42:43.399 --> 01:42:48.000
religious themes. They highlight the dangers
of disrespecting gods and the consequences of breaking

1210
01:42:48.079 --> 01:42:53.439
divine rules. The tales remind us
of ancient beliefs about the power of gods

1211
01:42:53.520 --> 01:42:57.319
and how they must be respected.
What's fascinating is that by comparing these two

1212
01:42:57.439 --> 01:43:00.600
tales we can better understand each story
and the cultures they come from. There's

1213
01:43:00.640 --> 01:43:05.920
also a historical connection. Then,
Moses led his people away from Egypt around

1214
01:43:06.000 --> 01:43:12.880
the same time the Greeks believed they
had defeated Troy. In both stories,

1215
01:43:13.520 --> 01:43:17.600
leaders Odysseus and Moses are shown to
have a unique and close bond with the

1216
01:43:17.680 --> 01:43:23.680
gods, unlike their followers who don't
share this same connection. The tell of

1217
01:43:23.760 --> 01:43:28.960
Odysseus, even though some parts of
the story show him. And here's the

1218
01:43:29.039 --> 01:43:36.039
thing I always wonder. Okay,
so this yahweh character wants everyone to follow

1219
01:43:36.079 --> 01:43:40.800
him, and he doesn't like to
be you know, he doesn't. He

1220
01:43:40.880 --> 01:43:44.279
doesn't like it when the when the
people reject him. They doesn't like it

1221
01:43:44.399 --> 01:43:50.279
when they defy him. Why does
he only show himself to Moses? Then?

1222
01:43:50.920 --> 01:43:55.159
Wouldn't that settle the whole score?
If he just appear to them all?

1223
01:43:55.199 --> 01:43:59.600
Wouldn't that make them all believers?
And it's like a kind of a

1224
01:44:00.520 --> 01:44:04.000
common sense thing. If you're able
to show yourself to one and don't give

1225
01:44:04.039 --> 01:44:09.399
me this, they're not worthy.
Nonsense, Because Moses was caught off guard

1226
01:44:09.479 --> 01:44:12.960
as well, and he didn't he
was reluctant and didn't want to do it.

1227
01:44:13.720 --> 01:44:17.680
So all these people who he has
to somehow organize and wrangle and get

1228
01:44:17.720 --> 01:44:24.439
their cooperation. Why didn't yahweh throw
him a solid and just appear to everybody

1229
01:44:25.319 --> 01:44:29.520
and settle the score once and for
all that. Yeah, he's the deal,

1230
01:44:29.600 --> 01:44:32.359
He's the deal. He's the guy. Why why all the secrecy and

1231
01:44:32.399 --> 01:44:36.560
why all this just only appearing to
one person? It doesn't make any sense.

1232
01:44:36.600 --> 01:44:40.319
If you wanted the people to actually
believe in you, just show.

1233
01:44:40.600 --> 01:44:43.479
If you can show yourself to one
person, you can show yourself to everybody.

1234
01:44:44.079 --> 01:44:46.479
Otherwise it's just Moses going off on
his own to talk to somebody on

1235
01:44:46.560 --> 01:44:55.119
a hill. Tackling challenges alone,
He's frequently guided and helped by the gods.

1236
01:44:55.520 --> 01:44:59.960
For instance, Zeus, the top
god, makes a notable mention about

1237
01:45:00.279 --> 01:45:03.800
him, and Athena, a powerful
goddess, often steps in to assist him.

1238
01:45:04.680 --> 01:45:10.000
He even gets a direct visit and
guidance from the god Hermes. All

1239
01:45:10.159 --> 01:45:15.439
these events highlight how Odysseus is different
from his crewmates who don't have such divine

1240
01:45:15.479 --> 01:45:21.119
interactions. Sticking to this theme,
and why not that's the whole question.

1241
01:45:21.520 --> 01:45:27.119
Why not? If he's there in
that timeframe and the gods are walking among

1242
01:45:27.199 --> 01:45:32.359
the people, why not if you
wanted people to buy the story, you

1243
01:45:32.399 --> 01:45:38.159
would just present yourself. Why you
wouldn't do that makes no sense. There's

1244
01:45:38.199 --> 01:45:41.479
no reason for it. Why not
just do that? That would pretty much

1245
01:45:41.560 --> 01:45:45.439
win over anybody. Oh yeah,
there he is. Guess you're right,

1246
01:45:45.640 --> 01:45:50.760
Moses, Guess you're right Odysseus theme. Odysseus often follows the god's advice,

1247
01:45:51.520 --> 01:45:57.439
whether it's Hermes guiding him on how
to deal with Circe or Circe directing him

1248
01:45:57.520 --> 01:46:01.520
on his journey to the underworld.
He listens, So when he's told not

1249
01:46:01.680 --> 01:46:06.439
to harm the sacred cattle of the
sun god Helios, it's in line with

1250
01:46:06.560 --> 01:46:13.800
his character to obey. With Moses, it's clear he has a unique bond

1251
01:46:13.920 --> 01:46:18.199
with God known as Jahweh. Right
from when he hears God's voice from a

1252
01:46:18.279 --> 01:46:25.079
burning bush to the numerous times God
guides him on handling the Pharaoh, their

1253
01:46:25.159 --> 01:46:30.199
special connection stands out. And there's
another thing. If Moses can part of

1254
01:46:30.359 --> 01:46:38.000
sea, wouldn't that also make everybody
a believer? Right? Like? Wow,

1255
01:46:38.119 --> 01:46:41.760
yeah, he must be in connection
with something because he just parted the

1256
01:46:41.880 --> 01:46:47.880
damn sea and we all witnessed it. Then it's so soon after that they're

1257
01:46:47.960 --> 01:46:53.399
like, ah, I doubt this, Come on? Come on. For

1258
01:46:53.600 --> 01:46:59.159
instance, when Moses is unsure about
speaking to his people, God reassures him

1259
01:47:00.359 --> 01:47:04.079
to guide his words. Interestingly,
a similar theme pops up in the tale

1260
01:47:04.079 --> 01:47:09.520
of Odysseus. Here, it's not
Odysseus but his son, to Lemicus,

1261
01:47:10.000 --> 01:47:15.039
who's hesitant to speak before an elder
nestor Athena, a goddess, steps into

1262
01:47:15.119 --> 01:47:20.000
comfort and guide to Lemoicus, just
like she does for his father throughout their

1263
01:47:20.079 --> 01:47:26.600
journey. Going back to Moses,
the difference between his close relationship with God

1264
01:47:27.039 --> 01:47:30.960
and the more distant one the Israelites
share with him becomes even more obvious.

1265
01:47:31.239 --> 01:47:36.319
At one point, God asks Moses
to come up a mountain alone to receive

1266
01:47:36.439 --> 01:47:44.199
special teachings, making it clear others
can't join. Moses does so, disappearing

1267
01:47:44.279 --> 01:47:49.039
into a cloud, leaving everyone else
behind. In both cases, there's a

1268
01:47:49.159 --> 01:47:55.600
forced pause in the journey, which
makes the travelers restless. This pause becomes

1269
01:47:55.720 --> 01:48:00.880
crucial because both groups, the crew
with Odysseus and the Israelites with Moses,

1270
01:48:01.359 --> 01:48:08.560
had already shown some rebellious tendencies.
This stop only heightens the tension they feel

1271
01:48:08.640 --> 01:48:14.760
towards their leaders. What's more,
even though their actual destinations aren't that far

1272
01:48:14.880 --> 01:48:19.119
away, it takes them years to
get there. This delay becomes a small

1273
01:48:19.199 --> 01:48:25.880
reflection of the bigger challenges they face
on their journeys. Interestingly, the time

1274
01:48:26.000 --> 01:48:30.439
they're stuck is about the same for
both a month for Odysseus's crew and forty

1275
01:48:30.600 --> 01:48:36.279
days for the Israelites. Both these
timeframes are symbolic and often come up in

1276
01:48:36.359 --> 01:48:42.000
their respective myths. It won't be
a shock that in the Exodus and Odyssey

1277
01:48:42.359 --> 01:48:47.520
we see strange weather patterns believed to
be caused by the gods play a significant

1278
01:48:47.600 --> 01:48:53.079
role in delaying the travelers and the
Odyssey. After Odysseus and his crew reach

1279
01:48:53.239 --> 01:48:59.279
through Nakia, strong winds stop them
from leaving. Similarly, Minelais finds themselves

1280
01:48:59.319 --> 01:49:08.119
stuck on an island called Perros when
there's no winn I'm not completely against the

1281
01:49:08.279 --> 01:49:13.000
idea that there were, in fact, let's say, survivors of a pre

1282
01:49:13.159 --> 01:49:19.600
cataclysm that were in fact communicating with
people and possibly had weather weapons back then

1283
01:49:20.600 --> 01:49:25.960
that they could manipulate things with,
and that would only further deify them in

1284
01:49:26.039 --> 01:49:32.159
the minds of the people who are
now resorted back to more primitive understandings of

1285
01:49:32.439 --> 01:49:38.680
reality. I'm not saying that didn't
happen, but I just think this deification

1286
01:49:38.800 --> 01:49:41.800
over time is something that happens with
leaders, that happens with all kinds of

1287
01:49:45.119 --> 01:49:50.439
important people that after warriors, people
who with conquested under their belt, end

1288
01:49:50.520 --> 01:49:55.159
up becoming deified over time until you
actually lose this, lose sight of the

1289
01:49:55.279 --> 01:50:00.079
actual real person, and you were
left with the myth of them end at

1290
01:50:00.119 --> 01:50:04.159
all. He's trapped there, and
that might explain Nankey and Lil and all

1291
01:50:04.199 --> 01:50:09.479
those other people too. They may
have been survivors of a cataclysm that either

1292
01:50:09.520 --> 01:50:15.800
they created or they just survived.
Twenty days, runs out of food,

1293
01:50:15.000 --> 01:50:21.199
and his men become desperate with hunger
back on Thrinakia. Once the crew arrives

1294
01:50:21.239 --> 01:50:26.560
and settles down for dinner, a
huge storm breaks out. This storm is

1295
01:50:26.640 --> 01:50:30.920
described in a way that's reminiscent of
an earlier storm in their journey. These

1296
01:50:31.000 --> 01:50:36.439
two storms are interconnected in the narrative. The first storm hints that the journey

1297
01:50:36.520 --> 01:50:43.840
home won't be easy, while the
last one foreshadows a tragic end as many

1298
01:50:43.880 --> 01:50:47.600
of the crew members never make it
home. These fierce winds continue for a

1299
01:50:47.760 --> 01:50:54.560
month, and just like with Minilaeus, Odysseus's crew runs out of food and

1300
01:50:54.680 --> 01:51:00.279
becomes very hungry. With the Exodus
story, dramatic weather events believe to be

1301
01:51:00.439 --> 01:51:05.680
acts of gods are frequently depicted.
Examples include a cloud by day and a

1302
01:51:05.840 --> 01:51:12.239
pillar of fire by night guiding the
Israelites, and the heavy cloud, thunder

1303
01:51:12.359 --> 01:51:16.840
and lightning that surround God's appearance on
Mount Sinai. And again, this is

1304
01:51:16.960 --> 01:51:26.720
the direct reading of these not the
cryptic, potentially ritualistic or magical working elements

1305
01:51:26.800 --> 01:51:34.600
that you find when you apply things
like jamatria and other potential encryptions of these

1306
01:51:34.640 --> 01:51:40.720
stories. And then when you go
back into the rights and rituals of these

1307
01:51:40.880 --> 01:51:45.880
mystery cults, you start to see
evidence of its falling. That type of

1308
01:51:45.000 --> 01:51:50.560
pattern, but in a literal translation
doesn't do it justice to really understand what

1309
01:51:50.640 --> 01:51:57.079
they're discussing. Just before a key
moment of rebellion, the Israelites see Moses

1310
01:51:57.199 --> 01:52:00.439
as he's called by God from a
cloud on a mountain. After this,

1311
01:52:01.239 --> 01:52:08.399
Moses disappears into this cloud, remaining
hidden for forty days. In the expansive

1312
01:52:08.520 --> 01:52:14.840
Exodus narrative, there's a noticeable trend
among followers to distance themselves from their Deity.

1313
01:52:15.399 --> 01:52:21.479
This distancing foreshadows their eventual revolt against
the deity and mirrors their inclination to

1314
01:52:21.640 --> 01:52:29.399
challenge their respective leaders. Both narratives
have earlier instances of such defiance, setting

1315
01:52:29.479 --> 01:52:33.960
the stage for pivotal moments in Odyssey
twelve and Odysseus's crew right from the prologue,

1316
01:52:34.359 --> 01:52:40.479
stressing that they meet their doom due
to their own recklessness, even as

1317
01:52:40.600 --> 01:52:45.800
Odysseus endeavors to rescue them. The
Fable of the Odyssey illustrates the CRU's rebellious

1318
01:52:45.960 --> 01:52:51.720
nature in three distinct episodes, which
culminate in a full blown mutiny in Thrinakia.

1319
01:52:53.319 --> 01:53:00.319
The stop at Ismarus acts as a
microcosm of the CRU's predisposition towards Vault,

1320
01:53:00.920 --> 01:53:04.159
setting the scene for the events at
Thrinacia. Here. After they have

1321
01:53:04.319 --> 01:53:10.439
plundered the city of the Scones,
Odysseus urges them to depart, yet they

1322
01:53:10.520 --> 01:53:15.960
remain defiant, choosing to feast by
killing numerous sheep and cattle. This decision

1323
01:53:15.039 --> 01:53:21.479
allows the Sicconis to gather reinforcements and
launch a retaliatory attack, which claims the

1324
01:53:21.560 --> 01:53:28.199
lives of seventy two crew members.
Their demise is a direct consequence seventy two

1325
01:53:28.600 --> 01:53:33.199
with the septuagit m. The number
is what matters right quence of their disregard

1326
01:53:33.319 --> 01:53:41.880
for Odysseus's instructions combined with their impulsive
choice to feast in a potentially hazardous environment.

1327
01:53:42.640 --> 01:53:46.439
This act of over indulgence and lack
of restraint foreshadows their later actions on

1328
01:53:46.600 --> 01:53:53.119
Thrinacia. During their voyage away from
Aolis island, when they are within sight

1329
01:53:53.239 --> 01:53:58.359
of Ithaca, a crew member,
without any solid proof, convinces his peers

1330
01:53:58.399 --> 01:54:02.960
that Odysseus is secretly key keeping treasures
from them. While Odysseus is asleep,

1331
01:54:03.479 --> 01:54:10.800
this crew member opens the bag given
by Iolus, releasing stormy winds and sending

1332
01:54:10.840 --> 01:54:15.920
them back to the island. Much
like in Thrinakia, a single crew member

1333
01:54:15.119 --> 01:54:20.279
instigates a rebellion against Odysseus, resulting
in the loss of their chance to return

1334
01:54:20.359 --> 01:54:27.239
home. This rebellion is notably executed
while Odysseus is resting, a circumstance that

1335
01:54:27.520 --> 01:54:33.479
recurs in Thrinacia. In another foreshadowing
instance, Eurylicus tries to discourage the crew

1336
01:54:33.720 --> 01:54:40.880
from accompanying Odysseus back to Circe,
even though he's unsuccessful. Here, Eurylicus

1337
01:54:41.000 --> 01:54:45.560
positions himself as a representative of descent, embodying the voice of those who will

1338
01:54:45.640 --> 01:54:51.479
later rebel in Thurnachia. The next
significant act of insubordination happens as the crew

1339
01:54:51.600 --> 01:55:00.119
lands on Thrinacia, drawing them closer
to Helios's sacred cattle. Both Ysius and

1340
01:55:00.399 --> 01:55:08.159
Circe had cautioned Odysseus against harming these
cattle. Some scholars critique the repetitiveness of

1341
01:55:08.239 --> 01:55:15.640
these warnings, yet few ponder its
intentional impact. When Circe echoes to Esius's

1342
01:55:15.760 --> 01:55:21.079
warning, the prohibition against harming the
cattle elevates to a divine edict, akin

1343
01:55:21.239 --> 01:55:27.359
to the biblical command in Genesis forbidding
the consumption from the Tree of knowledge.

1344
01:55:28.079 --> 01:55:33.039
Infringing upon such a divine command usually
leads to grave penalties, often death,

1345
01:55:33.479 --> 01:55:39.760
as exemplified by Lot's wife in the
narrative of Sodom and Gomorrah. Aware of

1346
01:55:39.840 --> 01:55:46.760
these consequences, Odysseus advises against docking
at Thrinacia. However, Urylicus, disregarding

1347
01:55:46.840 --> 01:55:53.800
the cautions, contends they should eat
on the island given their fatigue. Acknowledging

1348
01:55:53.880 --> 01:55:59.960
the impending mutiny, Odysseus makes the
crew swear they won't harm Helios's cattle.

1349
01:56:00.560 --> 01:56:04.960
In the Exodus narrative, there are
previous instances where the Israelites challenge Moses,

1350
01:56:05.239 --> 01:56:12.239
foreshadowing their major uprising in Exodus thirty
two eleven. Initially, when Moses approaches

1351
01:56:12.319 --> 01:56:16.520
Pharaoh to request permission for the Israelites
to engage in their religious ceremony, Pharaoh

1352
01:56:16.640 --> 01:56:23.600
retaliates by increasing their workload. Interestingly, the Israelites lay the blame on Moses,

1353
01:56:24.000 --> 01:56:29.159
not Pharaoh, for their augmented troubles. This marks the inaugural questioning of

1354
01:56:29.319 --> 01:56:33.920
Moses's leadership, which is a crisis
that develops around the challenge to Moses's leadership

1355
01:56:34.079 --> 01:56:40.680
in Exodus five twenty to twenty one. When Pharaoh later chases the Israelites to

1356
01:56:40.760 --> 01:56:45.359
the Red Sea, they again reproach
Moses, expressing regret and wishing they had

1357
01:56:45.600 --> 01:56:50.800
perished in Egypt instead. Upon their
arrival at Mara, faced with only bitter

1358
01:56:50.960 --> 01:56:57.159
waters, their grievances are once more
directed at Moses. Notably, while journeying

1359
01:56:57.239 --> 01:57:01.079
through the wilderness of sin merely two
months after their Egyptian exodus, their hunger

1360
01:57:01.199 --> 01:57:08.159
evokes complaints reminiscent of the crews unrest
in Thurnakia. They lament, if only

1361
01:57:08.279 --> 01:57:11.479
we had died at the Lord's hand
in Egypt, where he sat by the

1362
01:57:11.560 --> 01:57:15.359
flesh pots and had plenty of bread. You have brought us into this wilderness

1363
01:57:15.520 --> 01:57:19.199
to let this whole assembly start to
Exus sixteen to three. Each grievance of

1364
01:57:19.239 --> 01:57:24.920
the Israelites is reminiscent of the complaints
voiced by Odysseus's crew on Thirnakia. Per

1365
01:57:25.840 --> 01:57:29.680
Okay, we will pick up from
where we are right now tomorrow. It

1366

1372

look for it on Amazon by that
name or on Barmes and Noble. If

1374
01:58:13.840 --> 01:58:16.079
you don't mind waiting to have a
signed copy, you can do that.

1375
01:58:16.199 --> 01:58:21.159
I would just recommend if you're from
a different country that you just if you

1376
01:58:21.199 --> 01:58:26.640
can find it through one of the
other sources other than me, You're gonna

1377
01:58:26.640 --> 01:58:29.800
pay a lot less for shipping if
it's something that can be produced closer to

1378
01:58:29.880 --> 01:58:33.479
you. Right, So, if
you have an Amazon dot whatever instead of

1379
01:58:33.560 --> 01:58:38.079
Calm, it's usually the name of
the country, look for it on there

1380
01:58:38.119 --> 01:58:40.039
and see if it's there first.
You might be able to find it and

1381
01:58:40.119 --> 01:58:44.039
enkindle at least through that method.
That way, you're not paying you know,

1382
01:58:44.439 --> 01:58:46.399
thirty forty dollars for shipping, because
that's pretty much what it's at for,

1383
01:58:46.520 --> 01:58:50.159
even like a two pound package these
days. Just to help you save

1384
01:58:50.239 --> 01:58:54.720
some money and you can still get
the information that I'm providing here in this

1385
01:58:54.840 --> 01:58:59.079
book. Okay, thank you so

will be probably playing during this time

1389
01:59:15.760 --> 01:59:21.399
period. The doctor Manso discussion that
we had. That rumble has already heard,

1390
01:59:21.479 --> 01:59:26.600
so if you're on Speak Free radio, you're gonna hear that instead.

1391
01:59:26.680 --> 01:59:30.159
There won't be an actual video on
Rumble tomorrow because I have to leave and

1392
01:59:30.399 --> 01:59:34.600
go to San Diago with some hot
sauce, so I will be leaving early

1393
01:59:34.920 --> 01:59:41.720
tomorrow to get that taken care of. Tomorrow Rumble not a okay, and

1394
01:59:41.840 --> 01:59:45.880
same thing on Twitter. We will
be doing it again on Wednesday. But

1395
01:59:45.159 --> 01:59:50.119

replay of the Doctor Monzo discussion that we

1396
01:59:50.319 --> 01:59:55.880
