151  "...The Domain took over the planet Venus..."

"The second-closest planet to the Sun, orbiting it every 224.7 Earth days. It is the brightest
natural object in the night sky, except for the Moon, reaching an apparent magnitude of −4.6.
Because Venus is an inferior planet, from Earth it never appears to venture far from the Sun:
its elongation reaches a maximum of 47.8°. Venus reaches its maximum brightness shortly
before sunrise or shortly after sunset, for which reason it is often called the Morning Star or
the Evening Star.

Classified as a terrestrial planet, it is sometimes called Earth's "sister planet", for the two are
similar in size, gravity, and bulk composition. Venus is covered with an opaque layer of
highly reflective clouds of sulfuric acid, preventing its surface from being seen from space in
visible light; this was a subject of great speculation until some of its secrets were revealed by
planetary science in the twentieth century. Venus has the densest atmosphere of all the
terrestrial planets, consisting mostly of carbon dioxide, as it has no carbon cycle to lock
carbon back into rocks and surface features, nor organic life to absorb it in biomass. It has
become so hot that the earth-like oceans the young Venus is believed to have possessed
have totally evaporated, leaving a dusty dry desert scape with many slab-like rocks. The
evaporated water vapor has dissociated and hydrogen has escaped into interplanetary
space. The atmospheric pressure at the planet's surface is 92 times that of the Earth,
the great majority of it carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.

Venus's surface has been mapped in detail only in the last 20 years; Project Magellan listed
about a thousand meteor craters, a surprisingly low number compared to Earth. It shows
evidence of being geologically very young with extensive volcanism, and the sulfur in the
atmosphere is taken by some experts to show many of its volcanoes are still active today,
but it is an enigma as to why no evidence of lava flow accompanies any of the visible
caldera."

As one of the brightest objects in the sky, Venus has been known since prehistoric times
and as such has gained an entrenched position in human culture. The Babylonians named
the planet Ishtar, the personification of womanhood, and goddess of love.

In western astrology, derived from its historical connotation with goddesses of femininity and
love, Venus is held to influence those aspects of human life. In Indian Vedic astrology,
Venus is known as Shukra, meaning "clear, pure" or "brightness, clearness" in Sanskrit.

152  "... There are a few life forms on Earth that can endure an atmospheric
environment like Venus..."

"There are many different classes of extremophiles, each corresponding to the way its
environmental niche. Many extremophiles fall under multiple categories. For example:
•Acidophile: An organism with an optimum pH level at or below pH 3.
•Alkaliphile: An organism with optimal growth at pH levels of 9 or above.
•Endolith: An organism that lives in microscopic spaces within rocks, such as pores
between aggregate grains. These may also be called cryptoendoliths. This term also
includes organisms populating fissures, aquifers, and faults filled with groundwater
in the deep subsurface.
•Halophile: An organism requiring at least 2M of salt, NaCl, for growth.
•Hyperthermophile: An organism that can thrive at temperatures between 80-121 °C,
such as those found in hydrothermal systems.
•Hypolith: An organism that lives inside rocks in cold deserts.
•Lithoautotroph: An organism (usually bacteria) whose sole source of carbon is
carbon dioxide and exergonic inorganic oxidation (chemolithotrophs) such as
Nitrosomonas europaea. These organisms are capable of deriving energy from
reduced mineral compounds like pyrites, and are active in geochemical cycling and
the weathering of parent bedrock to form soil.
•Metalotolerant: capable of tolerating high levels of dissolved heavy metals in
solution, such as copper, cadmium, arsenic, and zinc. Examples include
Ferroplasma sp. and Ralstonia metallidurans.
•Oligotroph: An organism capable of growth in nutritionally limited environments.
•Osmophile: An organism capable of growth in environments with a high sugar
concentration.
•Piezophile: An organism that lives optimally at high hydrostatic pressure. Common
in the deep terrestrial subsurface, as well as in oceanic trenches.
•Polyextremophile: An organism that qualifies as an extremophiles under more than
one category.
•Psychrophile/Cryophile: An organism that grows better at temperatures of 15 °C or
lower. Common in cold soils, permafrost, polar ice, cold ocean water, and in/under
alpine snowpack.
•Radioresistant: resistant to high levels of ionizing radiation, most commonly
ultraviolet radiation but also includes organisms capable of resisting nuclear
radiation.
•Thermophile: An organism that can thrive at temperatures between 60-80 °C.
•Xerophile: An organism that can grow in extremely dry, desiccating conditions. This
type is exemplified by the soil microbes of the Atacama Desert.

Relative to the majority of the deep sea extremophiles, the areas around submarine
hydrothermal vents are biologically more productive, often hosting complex communities
fueled by the chemicals dissolved in the vent fluids, supporting diverse organisms, including
giant tube worms, clams, and shrimp.

The water emerges from a hydrothermal vent at temperatures ranging up to 400°C,
compared to a typical 2°C for the surrounding deep ocean water. The high pressure at these
depths significantly expands the thermal range at which water remains liquid, and so the
water doesn't boil. Water at a depth of 3,000 m and a temperature of 407°C becomes
supercritical

One community has been discovered dubbed 'Eel City', which consists predominantly of
eels. Though eels are not uncommon, as mentioned earlier invertebrates typically dominate
hydrothermal vents. Eel City is located near Nafanua volcanic cone, American Samoa.
Other examples of the unique fauna who inhabit this ecosystem are a snail armored with
scales made up of iron and organic materials, and the Pompeii worm (Alvinella Pompejana),
which is capable of withstanding temperatures up to 80°C (176°F). Over 300 new
species have been discovered at hydrothermal vents.

Active hydrothermal vents are believed to exist on Jupiter's moon Europa, and ancient
hydrothermal vents have been speculated to exist on Mars."

153  "... asteroid belt..."

"The asteroid belt is the region of the Solar System located roughly between the orbits of
the planets Mars and Jupiter. It is occupied by numerous irregularly shaped bodies called
asteroids or minor plarnets. The asteroid belt region is also termed the main belt to
distinguish it from other concentrations of minor planets within the Solar System, such as the
Kuiper belt and scattered disk.

More than half the mass within the main belt is contained in the four largest objects: Ceres,
4 Vesta, 2 Pallas, and 10 Hygiea. All of these have mean diameters of more than 400 km,
while Ceres, the main belt's only dwarf planet, is about 950 km in diameter. The remaining
bodies range down to the size of a dust particle. The asteroid material is so thinly
distributed that multiple unmanned spacecraft have traversed it without incident."

154  "... Tiahuanaco..."

"Tiwanaku monumental architecture is characterized by large stones of exceptional
workmanship. In contrast to the masonry style of the later Inca, Tiwanaku stone
architecture usually employs rectangular ashlar blocks laid in regular courses, and
monumental structures were frequently fitted with elaborate drainage systems.
Bronze or copper "double-T" clamps were often used to anchor large blocks in place.
The stone used to build Tiwanaku was quarried and then transported 40 km or more
to the city. They were moved without the aid of the wheel, though much of the distance was
over water.

The community grew to urban proportions (in antiquity) becoming an important regional
power in the southern Andes. Satellite imaging was used recently to map the extent of
fossilized suka kollus across the three primary valleys of Tiwanaku, arriving at populationcarrying capacity estimates of anywhere between 285,000 and 1,482,000 people.
They worshipped many gods, and one of the most important gods was Viracocha, the
god of action, shaper of many worlds, and destroyer of many worlds. He created
people, with two servants, on a great piece of rock. Then he drew sections on the rock
and sent his servants to name the tribes in those areas. In Tiwanaku he created the people
out of rock and brought life to them through the earth. The Tiwanaku believed that
Viracocha created giants to move the massive stones that comprise much of their
archeology, but then grew unhappy with the giants and created a flood to destroy them."

155  "...Ollantaytambo..."

"Ollantaytambo is a town in southern Peru, located in the district of Ollantaytambo, province
of Urubamba, Cusco region. It is approximately 60 km to the northwest of the city of Cusco,
situated at an altitude of 2792 meters above sea level.

The city of Ollantaytambo is best known for its ruins, and for the spot where the Inca
emperor Manco Inca was able to defeat the Spanish in a set-piece battle. The finely cut
rocks and plantation terraces were very large obstacles for the Conquistadors to
surpass, and the fortress was also used by Manco to conduct successful attacks on
Francisco Pizarro and other Conquistadors who were based in Lima."

156  "... Machupiccu ..."

Machu Picchu (Quechua: Machu Picchu, "Old Peak") is a pre-Columbian Inca site located
2,400 meters (7,875 ft) above sea level. It is situated on a mountain ridge above the
Urubamba Valley in Peru, which is 80 km (50 mi) northwest of Cuzco. Often referred to as
"The Lost City of the Incas", Machu Picchu is probably the most familiar symbol of the Inca
Empire.

One theory maintains that Machu Picchu was an Inca "llacta": a settlement built to control
the economy of the conquered regions. It may also have been built as a prison for the
selective few who had commited such henous crimes against the Inca society. Research
conducted by scholars, such as John Rowe and Richard Burger, has convinced most
archaeologists that rather than a defensive retreat, Machu Picchu was an estate of the Inca
emperor, Pachacuti. In addition, Johan Reinhard presented evidence that the site was
selected based on its position relative to sacred landscape features. One such example is its
mountains, which are purported to be in alignment with key astronomical events.

Shamanic legends say that if you're a sensitive person and you rub your forehead against
the world-famous Intihuatana Stone you will see the spirit world. The Intihuatana stone is
one of the many ritual stones in South America. They are arranged so they point directly at
the sun during the winter solstice. The Spanish did not find Machu Picchu until the 20th
century so the Intihuatana Stone was not destroyed like many other ritual stones. It is also
called "The Hitching Point of the Sun" because it was supposed to hold the sun in it's place.
It is (as they said before) believed to be an astronomic clock built by the Incas."

157  "... Pachacamac ..."

"The temple of Pachacamac is an archaeological site 40 km southeast of Lima, Peru in the
Valley of the Lurín River. It had at least one pyramid. They used Pachacamac as primarily
a religious site for the veneration of the Pacha Kamaq creator god. The Ichma joined the
Inca empire and Pachacamac became an important administrative center.

However the Inca maintained it as a religious shrine and allowed the Pachacamac priests to
continue functioning independently of the Inca priesthood. This included the oracle, whom
the Inca presumably consulted. The Inca built five additional buildings, including a temple to
the Sun on the main square."

158  "... an electronic, light-wave emitting stone cutter and carving tools..."

"There are various laser cutting tools depending on the type of finished product that you
prefer. Laser cutter routers that are computer-driven can cut each letter precisely, capturing
every detail of the selected style. The said manufacturing systems are useful in cutting out
symbols and logos in a cost effective manner.

Laser that is in a solid state uses one crystal rod with flat and parallel ends. Both ends have
surfaces that have the ability to reflect. A light source that has high density and a flash tube
surrounds the crystal.

When power is given by the network of pulse-forming, an intense light pulse called photon is
released in one of the rod crystals. The light released is one wavelength and allows for
minimum divergence.

A hundred percent of laser light is reflected on the rear mirror while thirty to fifty percent will
pass through the mirror then to the shutter assembly to the angled mirror before going down
through the lens and then to the work piece.

The laser light beam is not only coherent but also has high energy content. When it is
focused on the surface, the laser light creates heat used for welding, drilling, and cutting.
The laser beam and the work piece is manipulated through the use of robotics. It can be
adjusted to different sizes and heat intensity. The smaller laser is used for drilling, cutting,
and welding while the larger machines are used in off giving heat."

159  "The "great" pyramid..."

"A total of over 2,300,000 blocks of limestone and granite were used in its construction with
the average block weighing 2.5 tons and none weighing less than 2 tons. The large blocks
used in the ceiling of the King's Chamber weigh as much as 9 tons.

•Construction date (Estimated): 2589 B.C..
•Construction time (Estimated): 20 years.
•Total weight (Estimated): 6.5 million tons.
•The estimated total weight of the structure is 6.5 million tons!
•The base of the pyramid covers 13 acres, 568,500 square feet and the length of
each side was originally 754 feet, but is now 745 feet.
•The original height was 481 feet tall, but is now only 449 feet.
The distance when Earth is closest to Sun (perihelion) is 147x10
6 km, which is translated into royal cubits 280x10
9 , hinting at the height of the Great pyramid, 280 royal cubits.

The earth/moon relationship is the only one in our solar system that contains this unique
golden section ratio that "squares the circle". Along with this is the phenomenon that the
moon and the sun appear to be the same size, most clearly noticed during an eclipse. This
too is true only from earth's vantage point…No other planet/moon relationship in our solar
system can make this claim.

Although the problem of squaring the circle was proven mathematically impossible in the
19th century (as pi, being irrational, cannot be exactly measured), the Earth, the moon, and
the Great Pyramid, are all coming about as close as you can get to the solution!
If the base of the Great Pyramid is equated with the diameter of the earth, then the radius of
the moon can be generated by subtracting the radius of the earth from the height of the
pyramid.

The height of the Great Pyramid times 2πexactly equals the perimeter of the pyramid. This
proportions result from elegant design of the pyramid with the height equal two diameters of
a circle and the base equal to the circumference of the circle.

The Pyramid of the Sun and the Great Pyramid of Egypt are almost or very nearly equal
to one another in base perimeter. The Pyramid of the Sun is "almost" half the height of the
Great Pyramid. There is a slight difference. The Great Pyramid is 1.03 - times larger than the
base of the Pyramid of the Sun. Conversely, the base of the Pyramid of the Sun is 97% of
the Great Pyramid's base."

160  "... Pyramid texts."

"The Pyramid Texts are a collection of ancient Egyptian religious texts from the time of the
Old Kingdom, mostly inscriptions on the walls of tombs in pyramids. They depict the
Egyptian view of the afterlife, and the ascent into the sky of the divine Pharaoh after death.
They were written upwards of five thousand years ago; thus, they are some of the oldest
known writings in the world.

The Pyramid Texts are also the oldest collection of religious spells known to us from ancient
Egypt. This collection forms the basis of much of the later religious theology and literature of
ancient Egypt. The passages were eventually separated and categorized, as well as
illustrated and eventually evolved into the Book of the Dead, or more properly, The Book of
the Coming forth by Day.

It is difficult to date the Pyramid Texts. Their origins have aroused much speculation
regarding their origin because they emerge, as a fully-fledged collection of mortuary texts,
without any precedent in the archaeological record. The fact that the texts are made up of
distinct utterances which do not have a strict narrative sequence linking them together has
led scholars to believe that many of them were not composed specifically for the purpose of
being inscribed in the pyramids but may have had earlier uses. In fact, spells such as
Utterances 273-4, called the Cannibal Hymn, and which only appears in the Pyramids of
Unas and Teti, refer to aspects of the funerary cult that seem to no longer been in practice at
the time the pyramids were built.

Early analysts attempted to date the text as early as possible; even from the predynastic
period. A very early dating of these texts remains a strong possibility, though today, scholars
place the text's origins with the date of the monuments where they reside. In reality, we have
very little idea of the date of their initial invention, perhaps other than the antiquated
language employed."

161  "The great pyramid was located precisely at the exact center of all of the land
masses of Earth..."

"The Great Pyramid (the Pyramid of Khufu, or Cheops in Greek) at Gizeh, Egypt,
demonstrates the remarkable character of its placement on the face of the Earth. The
Pyramid lies in the center of gravity of the continents. It also lies in the exact center of all the
land area of the world, dividing the earth's land mass into approximately equal quarters.
The north-south axis (31 degrees east of Greenwich) is the longest land meridian, and the
east-west axis (30 degrees north) is the longest land parallel on the globe. There is
obviously only one place that these longest land-lines of the terrestrial earth can cross, and it
is at the Great Pyramid!"

162  "...stars in the constellation of Orion's Belt (Ainitak), Sirius, Alpha Draconis and
Beta Ursa Minor..."

"The Hall of Truth in Light" (in the Great Pyramid) are an extension of the upward passage
way (which) opens as a Grand Gallery. Other interior features include: a Great Step; a lower
Queen's chamber; an upper King's chamber with an open tomb which was never used for
burial; and, two passage ways which actually pinpoint Sirius and Ainitak in the "belt" of the
Orion Constellation -- the other two precisely point to Thuban in the Draco Constellation
which was the old North Star at the time of the Pyramid's supposed construction and the
present North Star.

-- Reference: http://www.geocities.com/regkeith/rkeith5a.htm

Big Dipper Constellation stars include:

Dubhe
Merak
Phecda
Megrez
Alioth
Mizar
Alkaid
Alnitak is a double star system. Alnitak A is a blue O9.7Ib supergiant star about 15 times the
diameter of the sun, at least 11,000 times more luminous than the sun.

Thuban is another name for the star is Adib from the Arabic Al Dhi'bah, "The Hyenas". A
number of stars in the constellation of Draco. According to Allen, seamen were accustomed
to call Thuban "The Dragon's Tail." Thuban is a white A0III giant having a luminosity about
260 times that of the sun. Spectral analysis indicates that Thuban has a companion star
orbiting with a 51.4 day period.

Sirius is also known colloquially as the "Dog Star", reflecting its prominence in its
constellation, Canis Major. It is the subject of more mythological and folkloric tales than any
other star apart from the sun. The heliacal rising of Sirius marked the flooding of the Nile in
Ancient Egypt and the 'Dog Days' of summer Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky with a visual apparent magnitude of −1.47, almost twice as bright as Canopus, the next brightest star. What appears as a single star to the naked eye is actually a binary star system, consisting of Sirius A, and a faint white dwarf companion of spectral type DA2, termed Sirius B.

Sirius is bright due to both its intrinsic luminosity and its closeness to the Sun. At a distance
of 2.6 parsecs (8.6 light-years), the Sirius system is one of our near neighbors. Sirius A is
about twice as massive as the Sun and has an absolute visual magnitude of 1.42. It is 25
times more luminous than the Sun.

Sirius is recorded in the earliest astronomical records, known in Ancient Egypt as Sopdet
(Greek: Sothis). During the era of the Middle Kingdom, Egyptians based their calendar on
the heliacal rising of Sirius, namely the day it becomes visible just before sunrise after
moving far enough away from the glare of the sun. This occurred just before the annual
flooding of the Nile and the summer solstice, after a 70 day absence from the skies. The
hieroglyph for Sothis features a star and a triangle. Sothis was identified with the great
goddess Isis who formed a part of a trinity with her husband Osiris and their son Horus,
while the 70 day period symbolized the passing of Isis and Osiris though the duat (Egyptian
underworld).

North Star, also known as the Pole Star, is the star that lies closest in the sky to the north
celestial pole, and which appears directly overhead to an observer at the Earth's North Pole.
The current North Star is Polaris, which lies about two-thirds of a degree from the pole at the
end of the "handle" of the Little Dipper asterism in the constellation Ursa Minor. Polaris has a
visual magnitude of 1.97 (second magnitude). (Some people mistakenly think that Polaris is
the brightest star in the night sky. This title belongs to Sirius, and there are many others
stars also brighter than Polaris.)

Due to the precession of the equinoxes the direction of the Earth's axis is very slowly but
continuously changing, and as the projection of the Earth's axis moves around the celestial
sphere over the millennia, the role of North Star passes from one star to another. Since the
precession of the equinoxes is so slow, a single star typically holds that title for many
centuries.

In 3000 BC the faint star Thuban in the constellation Draco was the North Star. At
magnitude 3.67 (fourth magnitude) it is only one-fifth as bright as Polaris, the current North
Star (situated 430 light-years away).

164 " The human pharaoh moved the Capital city of Egypt from Memphis to
Heracleopolis".

"Heracleopolis was the main city of Egypt during a turbulent time in our history, the First
Intermediate Period. Details are not clear, but apparently when the VIth dynasty ended, the
rulers who followed were too weak to rule the whole land. Akhtoy, the local nomarch,
declared independence from Memphis, and when the last Memphite pharaoh died childless,
he declared himself god-king of the Two Lands and founder of the IXth dynasty. All of Middle
Egypt and part of the eastern Nile Delta submitted to Akhtoy's authority. Akhmin, in the 9th
nome, became the southern boundary between those who supported Akhtoy and those who
opposed him.

In Upper Egypt there were at least three governors who refused to acknowledge the new
order: those of Thinis, Wast (Thebes) and Nekhen (Hierakonopolis). For a long time they
fought among themselves, because chaos always reigns where there is no central authority.
Finally one of them, Inyotef II of Wast, prevailed against the others; the nomarchs of Asyut
now became the defenders of the dignity of the Heracleopolitan kings. The IXth dynasty was
succeeded by the Xth at home, and for more than sixty years the line was held at Akhmin,
despite frequent raids from both sides. Finally the grandson of Inyotef, Mentuhotep II,
captured Asyut; once that happened he quickly marched downstream and overthrew the Xth
dynasty. That marked the reunification of Egypt and the beginning of the Middle Kingdom.
Heracleopolis was never as important afterwards, though it marked the site of a key fortress
in the XXIInd dynasty, built by the second son of Osorkon II."

165  "... when Atlantis fell..."

"Plato's reference to Egypt as the source of the Atlantis myth, via Solon. The Egyptians
called Atlantis Kepchu, which also happens to be their name for the people of Crete. It is
speculated that survivors of the Minoan volcanic disaster asked Egypt for help, since they
were the only other civilization with high culture at the time.

Plato described quarries on the island of Atlantis where "rocks of white, black, and red" were
extracted from the hills and used to construct a great island city. The description matches
the rocks found on Santorini.

The island-city of Atlantis was described as being laid out in a series of concentric circles of
land and water, each one connected to the sea by a deep canal. Docks for a huge number of
ships, and a causeway for unloading cargo of said ships, also was described. Unearthed
frescos from the island have depicted Santorini with a configuration that can be interpreted in
this way. It also shows a huge city on the island, theorized by archaeologists to represent the
center of the caldera.

At Akrotiri there are multi-story buildings. This city may have had the earliest form of town
planning (structured assembly of interconnecting roads and paths) ever discovered, again,
with fresh running water and toilets in each house leading to a sewer system. Many such
sites now have been unearthed, both on Crete and Santorini."

-- Reference: Wikipedia.org (See "Santorini")

166  "... the Egyptians., who called "Atlantis" Kepchu, which also happens to be their
name for the people of Crete."

"Minoan civilization disappeared suddenly, at the height of its wealth and power. This also
was similar to Plato's description of the fate of the "Atlanteans". Scientists theorize that
multiple tsunamis hit the island of Crete, circa 1500 BC, which came from the direction of the
island of Santorini (then called Thera) about 100 miles from Crete.

Santorini is the site of a massive caldera with an island at its center. Vulcanologists have
determined this ill-fated island was engulfed by the terrible ca. 1500 BC eruption and
collapse of the Stroggilí volcano there, which affected the entire eastern Mediterranean, as
far away as the Near East—possibly the most powerful eruption in recorded history, ejecting
approximately 30 km³ (7 cu miles) of magma, up to 36 km (23 miles) high. Volcanic events of
this magnitude are known to generate tsunamis."

167  "... the exact geodetic center of Egypt..."

"Five years into the co-regency, Amenhotep IV changed his name to Akhenaten and left
Thebes to establish a new Egyptian capital city, which he called Akhetaten (meaning the
resting place or horizon of the Aten). The change in name indicated that he no longer
considered himself to be the son of the god Amun, but of Aten. On the monuments marking
the four corners of the new city, Akhenaten referred to the hateful words spoken about him
and his forefathers by the priests of Amun. Obviously, he had hoped that the city of
Akhetaten would be his resting place as well.

At the city of Akhetaten, the ancient religion of the Aten received a make-over. Aten temple
design, ritual, and symbolism (by a falcon-headed man and a sun disc referred to as Re-
Herakhty) derived originally from the traditional solar god Ra whose center of worship had
been from very ancient times at Memphis and On (Heliopolis). By the end of the coregency,
the falcon-man had been removed from the Aten's symbol. The Aten had in essence
become a god without human or animal image. The disc of the sun was now considered to
be the single physical representation of the invisible and eternal god, Ra, and a deity in its
own right. (The sun disc was used later as a royal "lamelech" seal by the Kings of Judah).
The cartouche of Akhenaten's god and heavenly father, the Aten, bore the name Imram. In
the Bible, Moses is referred to as the son of Amram, the Hebrew equivalent.

The name of the Egyptian deity Aten transliterates into the Hebrew word Adon. Adon,
which is translated by English Bibles as "the Lord" (and Adonai, translated as "my Lord") is
used along with Jehovah (Yhwh) in the Bible as the exclusive personal names of God.
Moreover, in ancient times, the name Jehovah (Yhwh) was written, but never spoken.

Whenever the written name Jehovah (Yhwh) was to be read out loud, Adon (Aten) was
voiced instead. The written form of Adon is infrequent, however, its limited usage is
significant, especially in the first six books of the Bible (See under "LORD" in Strong's
Exhaustive Concordance), where it is reserved for the following applications alone: Moses
addresses God using the title Adon/Aten (Exodus 4:10,13; 5:22; 34:9; Numbers 14:17;
Deuteronomy 3:23; 7:26; 10:17); Moses, himself, is addressed both by Aaron
(Ex.32:22; Num.12:11) and by Joshua (Numbers 11:28) using the title Adon/Aten; and
Joshua also addresses God using the title Adon/Aten (Joshua 5:14 b; 7:7). As
mentioned above, there is an established relationship between the literature of the Egyptian
18th Dynasty and the Bible. Psalm 104 is an embellishment of the Hymn to the Aten which
was found by archaeologists at the city of Akhetaten.

The religious reforms of Akhenaten included the rejection of traditional Egyptian magic and
astrology associated with the cult of Amun, and the rejection of the cult of Osiris with its
version of belief in eternal judgment and the afterlife as well. The site chosen for the new
capital of Egypt further demonstrated Akhenaten's desire for a new balance as it was
located at the exact geodetic center of the country."

168  "... the destruction of Troy as the finale of the Trojan War."

"In Greek mythology, the Trojan War was waged against the city of Troy by the Achaeans
after Paris of Troy stole Helen from her husband Menelaus, the king of Sparta. The war is
among the most important events in Greek mythology, and was narrated in many works of
Greek literature, including the Iliad and the Odyssey by Homer. The Iliad relates a part of the
last year of the siege of Troy, while the Odyssey describes the journey home of Odysseus,
one of the Achaean leaders. Other parts of the war were told in a cycle of epic poems, which
has only survived in fragments. Episodes from the war provided material for Greek tragedy
and other works of Greek literature, and for Roman poets like Virgil and Ovid.

The war originated from a quarrel between the goddesses Athena, Hera and Aphrodite, after
Eris, the goddess of strife and discord, gave them a golden apple, sometimes known as the
Apple of Discord, marked "for the fairest". The goddesses went to Paris, who judged that
Aphrodite, as the "fairest", should receive the apple. In exchange, Aphrodite made Helen,
the most beautiful of all women, fall in love with Paris, who took her to Troy. Agamemnon,
king of Mycenae and the brother of Helen's husband Menelaus, led an expedition of
Achaean troops to Troy and besieged the city for ten years. After the deaths of many heroes,
including the Achaeans Achilles and Ajax, and the Trojans Hector and Paris, the city fell to
the ruse of the Trojan Horse. The Achaeans slaughtered the Trojans and desecrated the
temples, thus earning the gods' wrath. Few of the Achaeans returned safely to their homes
and many founded colonies in distant shores. The Romans later traced their origin to
Aeneas, one of the Trojans, who was said to have led the surviving Trojans to Italy.

The Ancient Greeks thought the Trojan War was a historical event that had taken place in
the 13th or 12th century BC, and believed that Troy was located in modern day Turkey near
the Dardanelles. By modern times both the war and the city were widely believed to be nonhistorical. In 1870, however, the German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann excavated a
site in this area which he identified as Troy; this claim is now accepted by most scholars
The Trojan War derive from a specific historical conflict usually date it to the 12th or 11th
centuries BC, often preferring the dates given by Eratosthenes, 1194–1184 BC, which
roughly corresponds with archaeological evidence of a catastrophic burning of Troy."

169  "Homer, the blind Greek poet..."

"Homer (ancient Greek: µηρος, Homēros) was an ancient Greek (Ionian) epic poet,
traditionally considered the author of the epic poems the Iliad and the Odyssey. No reliable
biographical information about Homer survives from classical antiquity. The cardinal
qualities of the style of Homer have been well articulated by Matthew Arnold: "the translator
of Homer," he says, "should above all be penetrated by a sense of the four qualities of his
author: that he is eminently rapid; that he is eminently plain and direct, both in the evolution
of his thought and in the expression of it, that is, both in his syntax and in his words; that he
is eminently plain and direct in the substance of his thought, that is, in his matter and ideas;
and finally, that he is eminently noble".

The language used by Homer is an archaic version of Ionic Greek, with admixtures from
certain other dialects, such as Aeolic Greek. It later served as the basis of Epic Greek, the
language of epic poetry, typically in dactylic hexameter.

A number of traditions hold that he was blind (perhaps because, in the Aeolian dialect of
Cyme, homēros bore this meaning) and that he was born on the island of Chios, at Smyrna
or elsewhere in Ionia, where various cities vied in claiming him as one of their native sons.
The characterization of Homer as a blind bard is supported by a possibly self-referential
passage in the Odyssey in which a shipwrecked Odysseus listens to the tales of a blind bard
named Demodocus while in the court of the Phaeacian king."

170  "Solon, a wise man from Greece reported the existence of Atlantis.."

"Solon was a famous Athenian statesman, lawmaker, and Lyric poet. The travel writer,
Pausanias, listed Solon among the Seven Sages of the ancient world. Solon has acquired a
place in history and in folklore through his efforts to legislate against political, economic and
moral decline in archaic Athens. Some of his reforms failed in the short term, yet he is often
credited with having laid the foundations for Athenian democracy.

After he had finished reforming the country, Solon traveled abroad. His first stop was Egypt.
There he visited Heliopolis, where he discussed philosophy with an Egyptian expert on the
subject, Psenophis. Subsequently, at Sais, he visited Neith's temple and received from
the priests there an account of the history of Atlantis. Solon wrote out this history as
a poem, to which Plato subsequently made references in his dialogues Timaios and
Critias. Next Solon sailed to Cyprus, where he oversaw the construction of a new capital for
a local king, in gratitude for which the king named it Soloi."
