About this ebook

Ancient history is still unknown or uncertain to us, and all we know about the ancient world are speculations, myths and fantasies of historians and researchers. With new archeological discoveries and the reinterpretation of ancient texts, historical narratives and historical chronology are changing dramatically. Jossef Salman, a researcher in ancient history and religion, attempts in this short dissertation to explain ancient history from the narrative of religious texts in a way that boldly contradicts modern religious texts, but also proves that religion agrees with science and both can explain existence in the only way possible.

Nowadays, monotheistic religions not only contradict each other and all of them contradict science, but they also preach false ideas about what is true and what corresponds to facts, which causes people to run away from religion and not accept what it preaches. However, the truth is that all religions come from a single source, which can also be found in ancient Hermetic texts such as the well-known Emerald Tablet attributed to Hermes Trismegistus, as well as in ancient Egyptian texts and mythology.

We became aware of this book while discussing recent books that stimulate debate between theology and science, and we can say with confidence that this book is a comprehensive and in-depth read on the topics of theology, history, and archeology of ancient civilizations, especially Egypt. Our readers have been amazed at the author's ability to intrigue even the less experienced reader in the debate between various religious beliefs and scientific theories that attempt to explain the origin of humanity and life in general. The author's analysis of history, facts, and sources makes his work an engaging and attractive read that demonstrates the author's knowledge, understanding, and perspective. The author's confident writing style, attention to detail, and clarity of the arguments presented in the book make this essay a fascinating, intriguing, and most importantly, accessible work for the target audience. Ultimately, this book is found to be a challenging work that is recommended reading for everyone.

    Preface

    In 1994, a stunning discovery of an ancient site now known as Goebekli Tepe, near an ancient city in southeastern Turkey once called Edessa and known as the city of the Prophets, compelled historians to reconsider all of their theories about human history. While historians and theologians agreed at the time that the history of civilized humans only began 5000 years before Christianity, mainstream historians claim that humans were hunter-gatherers for thousands of years until they discovered agriculture and at that time construction of houses and settlements began in both Egypt and Mesopotamia. Theologians held to their own theory that around 5000 B.C. Man was created, and civilizations began directly after.

    Up until 1994, historians claim that humans were hunter-gatherers for millennia and only after they discovered agriculture did, they begin to settle and build settlements when they managed to get food from the fields. The concept of hunter-gatherers also points to human-like animals that have no culture, no tools, and most importantly, no wisdom of any kind. This concept portrays the man of prehistory and answers the dilemma of why, according to the mainstream, civilization only began about 7000 years ago. Then all monuments and archeological structures must fit this timeline. And when suddenly this mysterious structure, Goebekli Tepe, was discovered, it is not a settlement of any kind like the ancient settlements of Palestine built of small circles and of small stones, it is not a small temple, it is not a tomb like the pyramids, and it is not an astrological site like Stonehenge. It is a megalithic T-shaped pillars arranged in circles, a massive site with many circles that have been discovered and others yet to be discovered. No one knows today why this site was built 13,000 years ago for 2,000 years and then deliberately covered up. What was the purpose of this site and who were the people who created such a site? But for us, the importance of this site is that it proves beyond any doubt that everything we know about ancient history or prehistory and the beginning of mankind is wrong. History must be rewritten. And if so, perhaps what historians say about other massive structures is also wrong, like the massive stone structures of South America and the mysterious cities of Egypt. Maybe mankind did not discover farming by a chance rather he always knowing farming like he always known hunting. And mankind always built settlements and civilizations like that built in Egypt even before Goebekli Tepe, but impossible for historians to admit.

    Only few years ago, everyone accepted that Egyptian civilization was not until 3500 BC, and all archeological discoveries must be placed in this chronology. Today it is more acceptable and logical to believe that the history of Egypt dates back well before 13000 BC. Began a race of ancient sages inhabited ancient 'Kemet' and built wondrous cities in the savannas of archaic North Africa, cities covered by the sands of the modern desert. Cities built on the banks of the Nile, adorned with huge structures, obelisks, and statues, all have a purpose. The mythology and tradition of the Egyptian people and all their neighbors speak of a prehistoric civilization that built huge buildings and structures, not because they were trying to impress future generations, but because it was easy for them to do so. Somehow it had a strong meaning. Ancient Arab and Coptic historians speak of three cities in Egypt before the great flood that have pillars made of jewelry and precious stones and statues that have magic to protect the citizens of these cities from enemies and nature. These cities were buried by the sand without destruction, these cities were forgotten because no Greek historian spoke about them, while Atlantis is very famous and sought after.

    It is in my nature to question any information I receive and to search for the truth, and for me the truth always makes sense. When Egyptologists claim that a weak king like Cheops built the most sophisticated monument known to mankind, and that he built it in only twenty years (because he knew he had only twenty years to reign) and built it only as his tomb, I can simply reject that because it is very stupid and silly. It lacks not only evidence and proof, but also logic and reason. Sadly, people are so naive to accept such fairy tales, not because they find them logical, but only because they trust those who tell this story. And trust can be a very dangerous thing.

    So, if you blindly trust others who claim to be scientists or historians or whatever, you will find this book boring and may hate it. But if you like to question theories and ideas, like to follow debates, and ask for evidence and proof, then you will find this book informative and enrich your questions and arguments. We are not here to discover space or prove an any physics or mathematics problem. We are here to demand a reconsideration and review of the information concerning our history and existence that our children have been taught in schools.

    Advanced civilization began thousands of years ago, and archeology has strong evidence for it. Some of this evidence has been hidden from public view by powerful societies to keep us in the dark, other evidence has escaped to reach us and are now shared on social media and in books, but the most important evidence is so grand and megalithic that no one can hide, from Peru to Egypt, to Turkey, Syria and Thailand. Structures that only an advanced civilization could build. Then came the Great Flood, and after that it took thousands of years for people to become so numerous that they could build new civilizations and bin history anew. The new beginning happened perhaps 7,000 years ago with less advanced, weaker civilizations that could not understand their ancestors and did not know how they built these great structures and therefore called them gods. Not because they believed they were the divine God, but because for them only gods could do such things.

    We will look at history in four periods, the first being the age of the patriarchs, the very first age of man. The Egyptians called it The Kingdom of the Gods and believed it lasted tens of thousands of years, the Sumerians called it The Divine Kingdom and believed it lasted hundreds of thousands of years. I think it lasted only a few thousand years, maybe 8 thousand years at the most. During that time, the first patriarchs ruled over mankind and were the leaders and teachers of mankind. The most famous among them is Enoch, as the Hebrews called him, who is also known as the first Hermes by the Greeks, Tamuz by the Sumerians, Idris by the Arabs, and Thoth or Teho-Ti by the Egyptians. The seventh patriarch who founded the first civilizations of man and taught them all the knowledge and ancient wisdom they needed to become a powerful, advanced civilization. I must say that his wisdom is the source of all the progress of humankind in all generations, even our own.

    This race of ancient archaic sages used the power of wisdom to build the first cities and the most amazing structures, whose technology and construction still fascinate us. This race lived a long, healthy life, some living more than a thousand years, not only because they had huge, gigantic bodies, but also because the earth was different then, the trees were huge, and the atmosphere had a high percentage of oxygen. The long days they spent helped them to gain more experience and more power, and above all they managed to reproduce and spread all over the land, and this is the main reason why we can see amazing similarities of ancient structures from China to the Middle East to the North and to America.

    Today, most of us tend to deny their existence and claim that they were just animals that learned how to farm, others think that they were smart lizards or maybe aliens. But the truth is that they were humans with divine powers, as it has been passed down through generations. And the inferior generations thought they were gods.

    In this first generation also appeared the fallen angels (Haroot and Maroot), the two angels who fell to earth and became humans and mingled with humans and taught humanity some secrets of divine knowledge, which later became known as magic. These two angels were the reason for the emergence of the second group of powerful humans, who used their power for evil to lead humanity astray, which eventually ended in the Great Flood. The first mighty race was wiped out by the Flood and a new generation appeared.

    The second age is the age after the Flood, which began with only a few people and had the goal of multiplying and inhabiting the earth again. They also lived for a long time, but their age began to decline with time; while the first of them lived six or eight hundred years, their descendants lived three or four hundred years. It took two thousand years for them to multiply enough to spread again over the new lands. No great cities that we know of were built in this age, except perhaps in Jericho and Syria. But they were the first to settle India, Thailand, and China, and to move into the new land of America. They divided into tribes, in their time the Tower of Bab-El was built, and in their generation the languages began to emerge. Each of their tribes moved to a different corner to lay the seeds for new civilizations that would soon arise. This generation lived between 8000 B.C. and 4000 B.C

    The third age began the history that we know some about, it began the civilizations that we know and have traces of, such as the Kingdom of Egypt, Sumer, India, South America and all the ancient world that we know. We can say that this generation is known to us, we know who they were, how they lived and what kind of culture they had. But we also know that they were less advanced, less powerful than those who came before them.

    The last age began with Judaism, with Moses and the Exodus. This generation revived the ancient wisdom but could not harness its power or absorb its meaning. We know a lot about this generation, we have their writings, we know their philosophy and methodology.

    The purpose of this book

    In this book, if you will allow me, I would like to take you on a journey, neither in time nor in space, but in another dimension that defines time and space, in an attempt to see the ancients who were defeated by time and the civilizations that were defeated by space through the wisdom that defeated both time and space. We will talk about the creation of the cosmos and life in it, we will talk about religion and God, and we will talk about the three Abrahamic religions, which are not similar but identical because they all have the same origin. We will visit science and the scientific narratives about creation, history, and intelligence; we will try to read the ancient texts of Hermes Trismegistus, Thoth, and Enoch, we will try to understand what is written on the stones of Egypt and its pyramids, but above all we will try to read the Bible and the Qur'an, because both contain the totalitarian wisdom of the ancients. Do not worry, my language is not very sophisticated, so there will be no verbiage and no bombast, but a very simple vernacular.

    This is not a history book that writes history from the imagination and invention of a historian trying to impose his view of history. I, on the other hand, rely on history to prove my own view of the present. History as we know it today is the accumulated knowledge of historians over time to give us the facts and truth about what really happened to our ancestors. But there is a huge gap in real ancient history before the Greeks that is filled only by fantasy and imagination, rather than facts and truth. And everything we know that comes from the Greeks, who had a very wild imagination and appetite for legends and myths. We want to look past those legends and myths here, to perhaps learn the truth about the ancient civilization that was at the beginning of civilization. Egypt is our destination, because it is the only land where traces of the first people on earth, the ancient race, can still be found.

    I believe that not everything started in ancient Egypt civilization, neither religion nor science, language, civilization, philosophy, or writing, but everything was preserved only in Egypt. Every religion, every culture, every philosophy, and science left their traces in ancient Egypt, and not only that, but every mystery of history can be solved or understood by means of the archeology and monuments of ancient Egypt. Perhaps that is why the ancient obelisks of Egypt stand with grandeur and pride in the great cities of the world, reminding us of that Egypt still preserves and protects all the heritage and mysteries of antiquity. We just have to look carefully and discover it with the truth in our minds, not with inventions and fantasies.

    Questioning an idea is not to reject it. When we question religious texts, it does not mean that we do not believe in that text, but we can identify problems that contradict logic or proven science. For example, if we find a religious text that claims the earth is flat, as some religious figures in Saudi Arabia claim, we can say that we completely reject that text. But if we say that man was created on the sixth day of creation and the day is the same as we know (full cycle of the earth around its axes), this must be questionable and rejected on its own, not the entire Bible. What men wrote can be debated, even if the claim is that men wrote what God dictated. There is no taboo in intelligence, and we must be intelligent and wise when approaching a theory and a text. The Hermetic texts, for example, are of great value and contain wisdom that can explain existence, but they need to be rewritten because they also contain contradictions and a lot of twisted information that may be due to the translation or manipulation of the scrip.

    Today I truly believe that we have been led by material scientists, fanatical religious priests, and secret societies to the final chapter in human history to create the stupidest, most foolish generation of humans that has ever lived, to create a new generation of apes that have no self-respect, no consciousness, and no spirit, just a material, controlled generation enslaved by new technologies. Despite this some believe in the concept that this is the most advanced, superior generation of humanity that has created this advanced technology, explored space, discovered quantum physics, and proved that humans are descended from apes and that consciousness is only a creation of the human mind. But just by looking around and talk to young people to see the truth that today we are witnessing the most inferior culture that has ever existed.

    I am not pessimistic at all; on the contrary, I am very optimistic, because I know that out of this generation will come the people who will establish the last kingdom of man. And only after death can life begin, and only after the land is burned will new plants grow.

    Because we consider ourselves superior and know everything, we live on the highest peak of generations with the highest principles and social standards, the smartest among us have begun to question everything. Because it cannot be that we are superior and still be enslaved, it cannot be that in the superior generation we have the dumbest youths and teenagers whose lives have become an electronic box called a cell phone.

    We are not animals, nor are we descended from animals; we are the perfect creation of the perfect Creator. We are not superior by technology or science or socio-economic, but by spirit, consciousness, and wisdom. And by keeping the connection to our true history and ancient wisdom, we can maintain the connection to our spirits and give value to our lives.

    Ancient wisdom

    Let us first determine the basic concepts of ancient wisdom, what we mean by ancient and what kind of wisdom they possess. When we read the term ancient, we generally think of the civilizations of the near past, such as the Greeks and the Romans and the dynastic Egyptians and Babylonians, who acquired and inherited wisdom that shaped their civilizations, and it is only thanks to them that we can read history and know philosophy today, but certainly it is thanks to them that we have reached our own pinnacle of civilization and progress. None of us modern sages, educated and sophisticated people can deny the contribution of these civilizations to our own progress and achievements. They initiated the Renaissance and established the progress that has culminated in modern times. But when we speak of the ancients in this book, we mean civilized people who lived before known history, about whom we know almost nothing, but whose progress and sophisticated knowledge are certain to us. While orthodox historiography tends to deny the past for which it has no evidence and instead proposes its own fantasies, we know from the remains of that past that there was a very advanced civilization that existed much earlier than written history. So, when we speak of the ancients, we mean the people who lived in Babylon, Turkey, South America, Easter Island, and Egypt, who have left us structures that we cannot understand how or why they were built. Therefore, we know that they must have possessed wisdom, because there is no trace of any ancient technology that they could have possessed. And when we speak of their wisdom, we do not mean their mythology, faith, or spirituality, but the wisdom that gave them power over the laws of nature and that was the source of their mythology, faith, and spirituality. A wisdom that enabled the ancients to build megalithic structures like the wall of Sacsayhuaman in Peru with a precision that our new technology cannot imitate, and the statues on Easter Island that we have no idea how they were built and moved, and the pillars of Gobekli Tepe, and especially the wisdom behind the pyramid of Giza, which has within it the power of building such structures, in addition to all the knowledge and science in those pyramids, of which we certainly know only a part.

    The wisdom of the ancients was not based on life experience, problems, and conflicts they had to face, but on knowledge they inherited from their ancestors, who in turn acquired this knowledge from special people of divine nature, who were later considered gods. This wisdom formed the basis for all wisdom, intelligence, and science in the world up to our modern times. There is no knowledge that we have today from science or heritage that was not a direct or indirect result of this ancient wisdom. However, the vanity of humanity has led it to ignore this fact and consider the ancients as primeval creatures overwhelmed by imaginary legends and myths. It is no secret that modern science is the result of the Renaissance of the seventeenth century, which was led by great thinkers influenced by Hermetic wisdom and Islamic literature, both of which are the descendants of ancient wisdom. But unfortunately, since the nineteenth century, all wisdom and human intelligence focused on material and abstract science, far from the true wisdom and power it can offer. Nekola Tesla is perhaps the last person who has experienced the power of the ancient wisdom and knows it without doubt.

    Today, when any of us mouths the term ancient wisdom, the first thing that comes to mind is Theosophy, founded in Britain then later in the United States at the end of the 19th century by Helena Blavatsky, and the philosophy that this movement advocates up to the present heresy of the new theosophies. This movement does not propose any wisdom, but only because the name means The Wisdom of the Gods, they adopt this profound concept of ancient wisdom to establish themselves. Although Helena B. did not consider her ideas and philosophy as a religion, but only as an existential philosophy based on various other ancient philosophies such as Hermeticism, Kabbalah and mainly Hinduism, she became more and more acceptable with the idea of founding a modern religion and finally agreed to call her movement a new religion. But this theosophy was and is empty of any intelligence or wisdom. When I read about them, both from authors who join this movement and from other, mostly religious Christians who oppose their ideas, I cannot find anything special about their beliefs and ideology, except that they follow the similarities between Hermeticism and Hinduism, but also in a way that is consistent with the new Darwinism. In the Islamic world, there are similar movements, such as the new enlightened Islamic movement, which accepts Islam but claims that God did not create man all at once, but let him evolve from the ape and then, after he had risen, gave him a consciousness, and they refer to a verse in the Qur'an that reads.

    6: O mankind, what has deceived you concerning your Lord, the Generous, 7: Who created you and brought you into balance, 8: In whatever form He willed has He assembled you (Qur'an 82: 6-8).

    The Theosophists now propose the hypothesis of the seven races, which is not based on any acceptable methodology and does not exist in history, mythology, or folklore. And no traces of such races have been found in archeology or paleontology. It is pure heresy that they have come up with to support strange myths like the myths of Atlantis and Lemuria. And if you read some of their treaties, you will see their penchant for racism and for distinguishing humanity by race among the seven races and sub-races. This wisdom-less movement is just an indication of how much we lack wisdom and intelligence, so we create empty movements to embrace spirituality and enlightenment. Although they have taken most of their beliefs from Buddhism, they have not even bothered to discover true Buddhism and its origin of wisdom, but simply accept the fact that most Buddhist teachings are a secret and must be guarded as such. I strongly believe that this movement has tried to explain existence through the fusion of science and mythology and to learn from the mistakes of Christianity, which could not keep up with science and tended to misinterpret its sacred scriptures. Theosophy made an even greater mistake by considering Darwinism as modern science and trying to compete with it, disregarding basic scientific facts such as the human population growth rate. Darwinism is in no way a science, but, by definition, a new religious movement founded by a secret society that today relies on the United States to force the teaching of this religion in schools, while on the other hand promoting the movements of retarded fanatical Christianity and Islam.

    It was not my intention to talk about Theosophy in this book, but since they exist and they call their simple philosophy ancient wisdom, I had to mention it to make it clear to my readers that there is no connection between the real ancient wisdom and Theosophy. And like the Theosophy movement, there were hundreds of other movements and sects that embraced the idea of ancient wisdom and tried hard to achieve some of that wisdom. The Essenes were the first that we know of, but about whom we know so little that without the Dead Sea Scrolls we might never have heard of this group of people. According to Edger Cayce, they originated on Mount Carmel east of the city of Nazareth in Palestine, 300 years before Christ, waiting for the coming Messiah. The Dead Sea Scrolls prove that they possessed a wide range of wisdom, for they wrote about biblical texts, commentaries, rituals, psalms, astrology, and astronomy. But even Edger Cayce admits that they established a school in Egypt to teach their followers and prepare them for the coming Messiah, and that they learned most of their knowledge from the Egyptian priests, merging this Egyptian wisdom with their own Jewish heritage and knowledge. One of the most interesting branches of Essene wisdom is their knowledge of physiognomy, which was widely known in ancient Egypt as well as in ancient Arabia and Yemen. This type of wisdom has no roots in the Hebrew or Greco-Roman history, nor does its strong belief in reincarnation, which is not accepted even by the Jewish faith. This strongly suggests that the wisdom of the Essenes, even if descended from the Israelites, must have been acquired from the Egyptians, giving them more freedom to interpret their religious texts differently than the Hebrews.

    The wisdom of the Essenes undoubtedly indicates a very comprehensive wisdom, combining several branches to provide an absolute truth. For example, their physiognomy is based on astrology, astronomy, numerology, and religion to determine a person's characteristics and the proportion of light in him and whether his soul will conquer darkness. They describe a character as proportions of darkness and light, and these proportions as fractions of the number 9, because they knew the meaning of the number 9, but especially because it is the number of the months of human gestation. And if a person has a higher proportion of darkness in his soul, for example, 5 parts darkness or evil and 4 parts light or good, then he will be incarnate in a process to correct his path. But the Essenes describe in a text a character who has only one part darkness and 8 parts light as a righteous person who could be an allusion to the Messiah, which contradicts the divine nature of a prophet who is and must be only light. The Essenes, with all their wisdom and knowledge that no one can deny, took a very unorthodox path when they tried to describe creation and the Lord, and defiantly misinterpreted the ancient wisdom in this narrative because they considered time and the cosmos as an eternal existence parallel to the existence of God. This great error was the result of considering the text of the Old Testament, which they appropriate and rewrite, are the exact words of the Lord. Hence the explanation of time and space as pre-existent entities that cannot be separated from the existence of God. And this error not only caused the Essenes to lose the essence of the ancient wisdom, but also caused the three Abrahamic religions to do the same later.

    The philosophy of existence as described by the seventh patriarch of the ancient race, must be explained by two main principles, eternity, and creation. Creation must have taken place, and everything that exists, up to existence itself, came into being through creation. And creation has a beginning and can have an end in terms of time and space, in this way all entities in existence have been created and have a starting point. But for this to happen, it must happen in a single entity that extends into infinity on both sides of space and time. This entity is eternal and infinite, and the most important is that this entity is indivisible. With this profound truth of existence, the archaic sages were able to identify the structure of space, time, and energy in this existence as a combination of letters and numbers left for them by the Creator to read, and by reading these codes they were able to manipulate the structure of space, time, and energy to their advantage. They also discovered that there was an amazing similarity between this vast cosmos of space, time and energy and the human body. They described the human body as a mass in space, floating in time and
