Ancient Atlantean Colony in the Grand Canyon? - ROBERT SEPEHR
The Hopi Indians maintained that their ancestors did not arrive
over a land bridge from Asia, nor do they believe that they
arrived by boat, but instead their origin myths tell the story
of how they climbed onto the surface from the underworld. The
specific place of emergence of Hopi legend lies deep inside the
Grand Canyon, an enchanted opening from the mysterious recesses
of the earth, after a Great Deluge had destroyed the third world

Ancient Mystery Religion Archeology (Bill Cooper) - ROBERT
SEPEHR
Sacred mysteries are religious beliefs, rituals or practices
which are kept secret from the general public. It refers to
esoteric knowledge which usually requires a formal initiation
and a gradient of higher levels of belief before the concealed
knowledge is revealed. Although the term "mystery" is not often
used in anthropology, access by initiation or rite of passage to
otherwise secret beliefs is an extremely common feature of
indigenous religions all over the world, and this is especially
so for occult secret societies.

Israeli Archaeologists Find First Purple Fabric from King
David’s Era
Researchers recreated the ancient dyeing process with mollusks.
The color purple appears several times in the Bible, usually in
a robe draping one of the kings of ancient Israel. But the
search for an authentic artifact dyed the royal color from the
time of King David has always proved elusive.
That changed this week, after researchers from the Israel
Antiquities Authority, Bar Ilan University and Tel Aviv
University said they had identified pieces of fabric dyed “true
purple” dating to the 10th century BCE, when the Hebrew Bible
says David and Solomon ruled in Jerusalem.
“This is the first piece of textile ever found from the time of
David and Solomon that is dyed with the prestigious purple dye,”
Naama Sukenik, curator of organic material at the Israel
Antiquities Authority, said in a joint statement.
The three scraps were among several discovered by archaeologists
in recent years in the Timna Valley, the site of a vast ancient
copper mining operation in southern Israel. Direct carbon dating
revealed that the fabrics hark back to about 1000 BCE.
Timna was likely part of the kingdom of Edom, bordering the
kingdom of Israel to the south. The biblical Book of Samuel
relates how David and his army battled and conquered the
Edomites.
The Old and New Testaments mention that David, Solomon, and the
priests of the Jewish Temple, as well as Jesus some centuries
later, all wore purple garments, and according to ancient
sources, purple textiles were highly valued and a symbol of
nobility.
Sukenik said that the vast majority of the ancient textiles
excavated by archaeologists around the world were dyed with
colors derived from plants. But the purple dyes in the Timna
Valley find were made from another source: the secretions of
mollusks.
“The use of animal-based dyes is regarded as much more
prestigious, and served as an important indicator for the
wearer’s high economic and social status.”
The remnants of the purple-dyed cloth that archaeologists
unearthed at Timna “are not only the most ancient in Israel, but
in the Southern Levant in general,” she said. The only other
true purple-dyed textiles found in the region were from the
Roman period: two from Masada and three from a cave in the
Judean Desert.
To determine which mollusk species produced the dyes found on
the Timna textiles and how the various hues were created,
researchers identified dry molecules belonging to specific sea
mollusk species.
Zohar Amar, a professor from Bar Ilan University, traveled to
Italy, where mollusks are a favorite dish and therefore
plentiful, to help reconstruct the precise origin of the dyes.
The process “took us back thousands of years, and has allowed us
to better understand obscure historical sources associated with
the precious colors of azure and purple,” Amar said.
The researchers, who published their findings in the journal
PLOS ONE, believe that in order to produce the vivid purple and
azure (tekhelet) dyes worn by King David and Jesus, biblical-era
dyers had to extract tiny amounts of dyestuff from thousands of
mollusks, and then exposed it to varying amounts of light. More
light produces azure; less light, purple.
Discovering ancient textiles made of perishable organic
materials such as wool is exceedingly rare because they
decompose quickly. The arid conditions at Timna preserved the
fabrics.
As a result of the region’s bone-dry climate “we are able to
recover organic materials such as textile, cords and leather
from the Iron Age, from the time of David and Solomon, providing
us with a unique glimpse into life in biblical times,” said Erez
Ben-Yosef, an archaeologist at Tel Aviv University. “The state
of preservation at Timna is exceptional.”
Although archaeologists have not found any permanent settlements
in Edomite territory, Ben-Yosef said, the fact that the textiles
were discovered there indicates that the nomads who resided
there lived in a “stratified society” and that some people must
have had elite status and wealth.
The research at Timna “has showed us that even without such
buildings, there were kings in our region who ruled over complex
societies, formed alliances and trade relations, and waged war
on each other.”
A nomadic society “was not measured in palaces and monuments of
stone,” he said, but in items that were valued at the time.
Ben-Yosef said this insight can be applied to the kingdom of
David, which archaeologists continue to search for. Many believe
that excavations conducted near the Old City of Jerusalem have
unearthed the palace. Others are less certain.
If the buildings excavated in Jerusalem were built by someone
other than David, there is no need for despair, Ben-Yosef said.
“The wealth of a nomadic society was not measured in palaces and
monuments made of stone, but in things that were no less valued
in the ancient world,” like purple dye.
“David may not have expressed his wealth in splendid buildings,”
he added, “but with objects more suited to a nomadic heritage
such as textiles and artifacts. It is wrong to assume that if no
grand buildings and fortresses have been found, then biblical
descriptions of the United Monarchy in Jerusalem must be
literary fiction.”
