    How fascinating! I had no idea about that fantastic library, or thought about the generations of hard-won knowledge behind these medical practices. I wonder how much information is recorded there that might be useful in our modern times, like plants that are useful for certain conditions? I was also struck by the part about considering that designations such as "wolf's sweat" most likely refer to plants we haven't identified (or concoctions/preparations that were common knowledge back then, but lost over the centuries), as it seems like such an obvious and practical assumption, now that people smarter than me have thought of it! My brain feels drenched in knowledge right now! 😋

    The First language & writings of mankind was 'Paleo Hebrew' which changed later-on at the tower of Babel then God (Yah) of the Bible & creator of all things came down to the earth with His Angels to confused the peoples language due to their Sin against Him. They thought to kill God -Yah & takeover from Him - and put their pagan gods in place of Him somehow through the use of their tower of Babel ?. So Yah/God decided to came down from heaven to see what was going on and to put a stop to their evil plan by changing the one language He gave to the peoples of the world - 'Paleo Hebrew' - into 70 different language's according to the number of the Sons of Yah - which are the 70 Angels appointed by Yah to rule over these 70 languages and their peoples that would spread out into the surrounding lands to become the nations of the world we see to day. The man called 'Abram' in the Bible - later to be renamed Abraham'; found favour in the eyes of Yah, so only Abram and his household was allow to keep Yah's ordinal language & writing because Abram believed in Yah and pleased Him by walking with Him by keeping His way's His commands; And this is the way of Yah's/God's people; to believe in Him and walk in His right-rulings, And this is the message of Yah's only begotten Son : Jesus or Yahusha in Hebrew which means Yah's Salvation, He came down from heaven to earth to teach us; and to pay the price for our sins by His death on the cross' and all those who believe in Him, repent of sin, and start to learn of Him and follow Him in His Fathers right-rulings (commandments will be saved : Please see (John 3:16-21, Matthew 11 : 17-30, 1 John 5: 2-5, & Exodus 20:1-17). Were does the name Yah come you may wonder ? The name 'Yah' has 40 Occurrences in the Bible - And it Means : to 'Shine' - like the dawning of the growing new moon : a spiritual symbol of God's (Yah's) loving light or nature growing/shining gently or softly on the believers heart and mind' as their relationship grows in faith and obedience walking with the most high Yah; who is - the Shining Light of the world ? : John 8 :12, Again Jesus (Yahusha in Hebrew meaning Yah's Salvation) spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” Psalm 68 : 4-5, Ps 106:1 are two examples of the name Yah in the Bible' (nkjv) There is no J sound in the Hebrew language for example the praise word; 'Hallelujah' spelled with a j is a bad translation - it should be spelled - HalleluYah' - as the j is a Y sound, I hope this info helps someone out there'

    Chicken scratches only serve one purpose. The proliferation of LIES and DECEPTIONS. In other words they can convey what ever LIE or DECEPTION the writer invented them for. Regardless of what these present times possessed individuals are telling us. REAL FACTS!

    This is dangerous. Religious occult effigies, idols, are cursed objects, especially from ancient civilizations, should not be handled or duplicated. As these can open connections with disastrous results. Should you come into the presence of such an object you should destroy it completely.

    🙄 The 'center of the Universe' is a concept that lacks a coherent definition in modern astronomy; according to standard cosmological theories on the shape of the universe, it has no center.

    Maybe you don't need a catalogue in the library that holds the actual tablets, since you can just go and look at them; but in th eother library, you need a catalogue, so that you can order the correct tablets for an inter-library loan - as you cannot get them to send to whole book on one donkey!

    An excellent video with a crucial question at its heart. It seems to me that your argument that historic seers would never put their reputation on the line is diminished by the fact that the system lasted so long ... why on Earth would any system of divination be so long-lasting if it never provided an accurate answer ?

    Shamanism is partly defined as the ability to transform one thing into another. By this metric we might say comedians who create comedy out of tragedy are shamans. This may seem like ''small magic'' but I assure you it is powerful and has merit.🥰 "It is hard work, and great art, to make life, not so serious.'' -John Irving (The Hotel New Hampshire.)🤣

    Ikr, in 1555, Dee joined the Worshipful Company of Mercers, as his father had, through its system of patrimony. In that same year Dee was arrested and charged with the crime of "calculating", because he had cast horoscopes of Queen Mary and Princess Elizabeth. The discovery that the astrologer’s ‘scrying glass’ is made of obsidian from Mexico points to the complex global web surrounding many Tudor objects.
