BELIEF IS ANTITHETICAL TO NATURE

The nature of truth is the nature of what one can observe and verify; everything else is a belief in what others claim they bear witness to or observe.

The truth is that, in nature, humans can only reproduce through sex, but a belief system says otherwise - immaculate conception.

In nature, animals don't speak to humans, but a belief system says otherwise - a talking snake.

In nature, men and women come out of the female reproductive organ, but a belief system says otherwise - women came from man's rib.

In nature, nothing is born in sin, but a belief system says otherwise - human is born in sin.

In nature, death is the end of life, but a belief system says otherwise - 72 virgins await men after death.

Clearly, belief is in conflict with nature. The struggle between the observable truth and the unobservable belief is the source of almost all conflicts in the world.

The wise draw conclusions from what they observe in nature, but the followers believe the narratives of the wise. Whenever you're in doubt, observe nature, and there lies your answer. 

Everything you need to know in order to survive is right in front of you, but you're too busy believing the narratives and abstractions of other men.

THE METAPHYSICS OF ORI

Ori (I.e. the immaterial head) is the initial condition that determines the outcome of human events.  Human events/activities are very complicated and random for we exist in a chaos dynamic world. But under the concept of Ori, the outcome of these complicated human activities are totally deterministic and predictable. It is the concept of Ori that makes IFA divination possible; without Ori, IFA would not be able to track randomness and make accurate predictions about the outcome of human activities.

Many religious scholars and moral philosophers argue against the underlying concept of Ori for being too deterministic and for denying "free will." Contrary  to this ignorant argument, Ori does not deny free will, and it is not deterministic in the slightest. It is the outcome of human events that is deterministic for every event starts with an initial condition. And since Ori is the initial condition, then Ori is what determines the outcome of human activities. 

While the outcome of any human event  is totally deterministic; free will, being the controller of human activities, makes every outcome appears random and uncertain. And it's this free will-induced uncertainty (i.e. uncertainty principle) that made classical physicists (Einstein et al) conclude, erroneously, that a deterministic system could not be uncertain (i.e. Einstein determinism and Heisenberg uncertainty). But the concept of Ori teaches us that free will-induced uncertainty in human activities can be totally reconciled with the ever present determinism in a chaos dynamic world like ours. In other words, free will-induced uncertainty does not preclude determinism - it is a necessary nuisance in a deterministic world. Thanks to Quatum physics, the physics world is slowly catching on to the metaphysics of Ori and the fundamental teachings of IFA.

In conclusion, while the initial condition or Ori is fixed, IFA teaches that with iwa pele (i.e. good character), ise (i.e. hard work), sacrifice, and good information, free will-induced randomness and uncertainty can be drastically reduced in human activities.

IS TRADITIONAL HISTORICAL CHRONOLOGY RELIABLE?

It's interesting how we would sit in the history class, unperturbed, while we're being fed with endless narratives about events that happened thousands of years before our own era, and we would not even for once ask the professor the hard question about the accuracy of traditional historical chronology.

The hard question we fail to ask is: if the ancient people did not write their own history and if modern men were not alive in the ancient times, how then do modern men feel comfortable learning and teaching about historical events they neither witnessed nor experienced?

The world history that modern men teach to one another today was formulated based on the historical chronology that was developed by Scaliger and Pentavius around 16th Century AD. This traditional historical chronology is popularly known as the Scaligerian Chronology.

The Scaligerian chronologists, mostly Jesuits, relied solely on the star catalogue of Ptolemy Almagest for dating historical epochs. Ptolemy Almagest was considered the main source of astronomical knowledge and planetary theory before the time of Corpenicus. And since advanced knowledge of astronomy was required for dating historical epochs, the star catalogue of Ptolemy Almagest became a highly sought after astronomical manual in the Scaligerian era (15th-17th Century AD). 

However, it turns out that the star catalogue of Almagest, upon which traditional historical chronology was formulated, had been been tampered with and edited by Scaligerian chronologists around 17th Century AD to promote their Jesuit world view and to compress world history into the Biblical timeline.

Conscientious scholars and moral philosophers, around the world,  like: Isaac Newton,  Nikolia Morozov, Wilhelm Kammeyer, Robert Baldauf, Peter Krekshin, Fomenko, and Walter Williams had sharply criticized to no avail Scaligerian chronologists for falsifying traditional historical chronology.  

So, if the traditional historical chronology is known to be false, why is it that world history as we know it today is still being taught based on the same falsified chronology?

The Game Changers

There're two inventions that shaped the nature of reality as we perceive it today. One was the invention of the printing press around 1445AD - 1450 AD, and the other was the invention of the gun powder around 13th - 14th Century AD. 

Prior to these two inventions, in spite of what you might have read in the so-called history books, almost all the nations of the world were relatively on the same level of development - there were strong and weak Asian states; strong and weak African states; strong and weak European states; and strong and weak native American states. Not one nation was significantly more developed than others.

However, there was a paradim shift in reality, and a dramatic change in the world order shortly after the invention of the printing press and the gun powder. It was at this time that all the academic subjects, including history, philosophy, and religious studies, and all books, including the Bible, the Torah and the Quran were formulated and developed. There were probably some ancient scrolls floating around in the Egyptian, Indian, native American, and other temples around world, but they were all compiled and published into books after the invention of the printing press in Europe.

This is why I said in my short essay (I.e. "History is written in the Present"),

that ancient men neither wrote nor chronicled their own histories. It's the modern men, who, after the invention of the printing press, created all sorts of paper histories and historical chronologies. And it was the modern men who attempted to compress the records of every ancient classical civilization into the 6000-year-old-ecclesiastical chronology they, themselves, invented.

This invented or falsified ecclesiastical chronology came to be accepted as reality today through the power of the gun powder. In other words, the printing press was used to print books that were formulated on the invented chronology, while the gun powder was used to force people to embrace them.

You can't really force people to embrace a book today, well in the West, but many people have been conditioned to accept the invented ecclesiastical chronology as reality.

An excerpt from Manly P. Hall’s "The Occult Anatomy of Man."

All the priests of the ancient world were anatomists. They recognized that all the functions of nature were reproduced in miniature in the human body. They therefore used man as the textbook, teaching their disciples that to understand man was to understand the universe. These wise men believed that every star in the heavens, every element in the earth, and every function in nature, was represented by a corresponding center, pole, or activity within the human body.

These wise ones realized that there was a great deal more involved in religion than the chanting of mantras and the singing of hymns; they realized that the path of salvation could be walked successfully only by those who have practical, scientific knowledge of the occult function of their own bodies. The anatomical symbolism which they evolved in order to perpetuate this understanding has come down to modern Christianity, but the keys to it apparently have been lost. It is a tragic situation for religionists that they are surrounded by hundreds of symbols which they cannot understand, but it is still sadder than they have even forgotten that these symbols ever had any meaning other than the foolish interpretations which they themselves have concocted.

The idea prevalent in the minds of Christians that their faith is the one and only truly inspired doctrine, and that it came parentless into the world, is unreasonable in the extreme. A study of comparative religions proves beyond doubt that Christianity has begged, borrowed, or stolen its philosophies and concepts from the religions and philosophies of the ancient and medieval pagan worlds. Among the religious symbols and allegories which belonged to the world long ago before the coming of Christianity are a few to which we would like to call your attention. The following Christian symbols and concepts are of pagan origin:

The Christian cross, comes from Egypt and India; the triple miter from the faith of the Mithraics; the shepherd’s crook from the Hermetic Mysteries and Greece; the immaculate conception from India; the transfiguration from Persia; and the trinity from the Brahmans. The Virgin Mary, as the mother of God, is found in a dozen different faiths. There are over twenty crucified world saviors. The church steeple is an adaption of Egyptian obelisks and pyramids, while the Christian devil is the Egyptian Typhon with certain modifications. The deeper one goes into the problem, the more he realizes there is nothing new under the sun. A truly sincere study of the Christian faith proves beyond all doubt that it is the evolutionary outgrowth of primitive doctrines. There is an evolution in religion as well as in physical form. If we accept and incorporate into our doctrines the religious symbolism of nearly forty peoples it behooves us to understand (at least in part) the meaning of myths and allegories which we borrow, lest we be more ignorant than those from whom we secured them.

This brochure is devoted to the problem of explaining the relationship existing between the symbolism of the ancient priests and the occult functions of the human body. We must first understand that all scared writings are supposed to be sealed with seven seals. In other words, it requires seven complete interpretations to understand fully the meaning of these ancient philosophic revelations which we have liked to call Holy Writ. Scripture is not intended to be historical. Those who understand its literal meaning understand the least of its meaning.

THE FALLACY OF PERFECTION

Have you ever noticed that the same people who subscribe to the concept of "universal truth" almost always subscribe to the idea of "perfection?" Their line of reasoning goes something like this: if over a billion people accept a concept, never mind how the concept came to be accepted,  then that concept must universally true, and thus perfect.

I know what you're thinking. "Oh, he's probably talking about religious people (I.e. Christians and Muslims)." Well, the truth is I am, but I'm also talking about non-religious humanists who subscribe to the same delusion of perfection as religionists.

As far as I'm concerned, the concept of universal truth or perfection, be it religious or non-religious, is illogical and fallacious. Same fallacy but different groups! Now, let's examine each group.

The Muslims and their estranged-Christian cousins would tell you to subscribe to their respectful spiritual concepts just because their doctrines are premised on universal truth and divine perfection. They're quick to point to the popular acceptance of their doctrines, billions of adherents and counting, as a testament to the universal truth embedded in their doctrines. Never mind, no where on this planet, truth has ever been established based on the popular acceptance of a concept. 

Well, since religious folks don't dwell much on logic. It behooves me to impress logic on them. If a concept is divinely perfect and universally true, no one would deny its validity. That is, if Christianity is the universal way to "divine truth;" then by default, there would never be Muslims, and vice versa. For example, the SUN is universally true in that it shines. This is why there's no Christian sun, Muslim sun, agnostic sun or even atheist sun. There is only one SUN that rises in the East and sets in the West, and the cosmic truth is that the sun would shine on you with or without your acceptance.

Anyway, the idea of "divine perfection" is even more bizarre than the conceptual idea of "universal truth." For the umpteenth time, there is no such thing as perfection in the Cosmos. The Cosmos operates on a strict "cosmic order" and balance (I.e. MAAT). On this planet, reality is based on relative perception or relativism (I.e. relative balance between opposites), but not on absolute perfection.

The non-religious humanists are just as fallacious in their thinking of the concept of "perfection" and "universal truth" as the religionists; though, in a different way. The humanists, unlike the religionists, believe nature is perfect. According to them, if nature is perfect and if Darwinian Evolution is a natural process, then everything must be evolving towards "perfection" and Darwin's Theory of Evolution must be universally true - this is a fallacious piece of reasoning.

First off, I subscribe to the theory of evolution, but the evolutionary process is not a perfecting process. Every evolutionary process is a binary-mutation process (I.e. positive mutation and negative mutation). Whatever you think you gain in the evolutionary process, you also lose something else of equal magnitude, balancing out the net outcome. In other words, evolution is a balancing process not a perfecting process. As evolved and prefect as we think we are, if the bees were extinct, we'd probably be extinct as well - we must not be too perfect if our existence is predicated on that of bees. Well, cosmic order and balance make it so!

Great thinkers overstand the cosmic principle of order and balance (I.e. MAAT), and that's why they don't conceptualize or waste time with the idea of  "perfection." They only conceptualize optimization and spend time on finding the optimal points not the perfect points. 

For example, Modigliani and Miller conceptualized and proved an optimum Capital Asset Equilibrium Price not a "perfect" Capital Asset Equilibrium Price. In Game theory, John Nash wasn't looking for the perfect payouts but optimal payouts (i.e. Nash Equilibrium). In the Monte-Carlo method, analysts never look for perfect models but optimal models.

In conclusion, perfection is not part of human reality; order and balance (I.e. MAAT) are. So, if you're constantly searching for perfection in anything, you're simply searching for something that's not there. Search for MAAT (order and balance) not perfection!

SCALIGERIAN CHRONOLOGY

The chronology of the entire history of almost all the classical civilizations was developed by a man named Joseph Justus Scalinger. Joseph Justus Scaliger (Circa 1540 – 1609 AD) was a French philologist and historian whose works on chronology (i.e. SCALIGERIAN CHRONOLOGY) were among the greatest contributions of Renaissance scholars in historical and classical studies (source: Encyclopedia Britannica).

In his work, Scalinger investigated ancient systems of determining epochs, calendars and computations of time. Scalinger had a number of students, but his most famous student was Dionysius Petavius or Dionysius the little (a.k.a Dionysius the Petit in French or Exiguus in Latin).

Dionysius Petavius (Circa 1583 – 1652 AD) was a Scaligerian-Jesuit chronologist, best known as the inventor of the B.C/A.D dating system, which is adapted to number the years in the Gregorian calendar that we use in the West and other parts of the world today –  as you may already know, B.C stands for Before Christ and A.D stands for Anno Domini “in the year of our Lord.”

It’s important to know that it was Dionysius Petavius, who, based on the Scaligerian-Biblical chronology that he single-handedly developed, calculated the earth’s age to be 6000 years old – see Anno Mundi. While scientists have proven that our planet is so much older than 6000 years, perhaps billions of years old, the historical chronology of all the classical civilizations, from Ancient Egypt to the Ottoman Empire, is still being compressed into the falsified-earth’s-age timeframe of 6000 years.

In other words, much of the history of the world as we know it today was formulated based on a falsified-Scaligerian-biblical chronology. According to Fomenko and Nosovskiy, in their book “History: fiction or science,” the entire history of the Holy Roman Empire was back-dated or shifted-back by at least 1050 years, and much of this history happened during the Middle Ages (1000 - 1500 AD) not during the 1st Century through the 12th Century AD as now implied. Other scholars, like Walter Williams and Godfrey Higgins, had made similar claims.

I’ve always known that the biblical writers engaged in a premeditated falsification of history, involving the superimposition of created biblical characters and biblical chronology on real-historical characters and chronology. However, I was neither aware of the scale of this falsification as revealed in my latest research, nor of its agenda.

ALL HISTORY IS WRITTEN IN THE PRESENT

If human knowledge is derived from experience and observation; then, it's safe to conclude that history and truth are established now, in the present, not in the past. In other words, it's in the present that we think and write about the past, and it's in the present that we make predictions about the future.

The history of every "ancient civilization" was formulated and chronicled very recently by modern men - not one "ancient man" wrote about his own history, and not one "ancient civilization" found the need to chronicle its own civilization.

Yes, there're larger than life ancient ruins all over the river valleys of the world, but none specified a time period and none chronicled a specific history. It's the modern men who read dates into the ancient records and ruins. It's the modern men who created a paper history (i.e. the history of a people with no known ancient records of their own), and turned it into a paper religion.

Paper histories and paper religions; simply put, holy lies came to be accepted as the truth right after the invention of the printing press and gun powder. The printing press was used to print the holy lies en masse, and the gun powder was used to force people to accept the holy lies. Many resisted, but they were all brutally persecuted. Anyway, that marked the beginning of the history of the world as we know it today - humanity was changed forever.

You're born free ladies and gentlemen. The original sin is ignorance, and the only hell is one created by the merchants of fear. Free your self from their holy lies; live your life, and write your own history. Every history is made and written now, in the present!

THE NEW CHRONOLOGY

The acceptable standard of historical methodology dictates that history has to be established based on veritable time and space. Time tells us when an event occurs while space tells us where an event occurs. Together, they form a complete coordinate system of history, in which time is tracked using different astronomical methods (solar and lunar eclipses), while space is located based on archeological and linguistic evidentiary facts.

The B.C/A.D conventional-timing-system (i.e., the Western Calendaring System) was formulated based on the astronomical manual (i.e. stellar/lunar catalog) of PTOLEMY ALMAGEST (a.k.a Ptolemy Megiste). So expectedly, the chronology of the entire history of almost all the classical civilizations, from ancient Egypt to the Ottoman Empire, follows the B.C/A.D conventional-timing-system.

However, the B.C/A.D conventional-timing-system is erroneous because the Almagest’s astronomical manual on which it’s formulated has now been found to be defective.  A brilliant Russian mathematician, Anatoly Fomenko, while calculating a certain coefficient D in the theory of lunar motion, found out that the standard Almagest’s time coordinates he relied upon in his calculation were inaccurate.

In other words, when Fomenko plugged-in standard Almagest’s time coordinates into his equation, he found that the lunar motion violated the law of universal gravitation. But when he recalibrated the Almagest’s time coordinates and plugged-in the new coordinates into his equation, the lunar motion complied as it should be with the law of universal gravitation. 

While Fomenko’s findings have already reverberated through the academic corners of the world, his findings will have profound implications for how we view the history of the world; the history of religion, and the chronology of ancient dynasties and epochs (see http://www.chronologia.org/en/struggle.html).

In view of Fomenko’s findings, Fomenko’s chronologists have now concluded the following:

1. Ptolemy Almagest astronomical manual, though mathematically sound, was compiled in 16th and 17th centuries from astronomical data of the 9th through 16th centuries and not in the 1st century as now implied in the traditional narratives.

2.  Historians and translators often "assign" different dates and locations to different accounts of the same historical events, creating multiple "phantom copies" of these events.

3. The B.C/A.D conventional or ecclesiastical chronology was largely manufactured by Joseph Justus Scaliger, and his Jesuit comrade, Dionysius Petavius, and represents a vast array of dates produced without any justification whatsoever, containing the repeating sequences of dates with shifts equal to multiples of the major cabbalistic numbers 333 and 360.

4. No single document in existence can be reliably dated earlier than the 11th century.

5. Histories of Ancient Rome, Greece and dynastic Egypt were crafted during the Renaissance by humanists and clergy - mostly on the basis of documents of their own making.

6. The history of religions runs as follows: the pre-Christian period (before the 11th century), Bacchic Christianity (11th-12th century, before and after JC), JC Christianity (12th-16th century) and its subsequent mutations into Orthodox Christianity, Catholicism, Judaism, and Islam.

7. The well-known horoscope in The Book of Revelation, dated to 25 September - 10 October 1486, was compiled by cabbalist Johannes Reuchlin.

In conclusion, Fomenko’s scientific chronology supports my view of Abrahamic religion and history in general. 

DOES "AMEN" MEAN "SO BE IT?"

The Christian patriarchs refer to the ancient-Egyptians as pagans. However, if the ancient-Egyptians were indeed pagans, why then do Christians end their prayers with "Amen," who's clearly an Egyptian deity?

The Christian's line of defense is that the word "Amen" is Hebrew not Egyptian, meaning "So be it" in Hebrew. The only problem with this line of defense is that when we examine Revelation 3:14, we can clearly see that "Amen" does not mean "so be it" but rather a deity. 

Enclosed is the content of Revelation 3:14 - THESE ARE THE WORDS OF THE AMEN, THE FAITHFUL AND TRUE WITNESS, THE RULER OF GOD'S CREATION.

Here is Revelation 3:14 again, substituting the phrase "so be it" for "Amen." - 

THESE ARE THE WORDS OF THE "SO BE IT" THE FAITHFUL AND TRUE WITNESS, THE RULER OF GOD'S CREATION.

Clearly, the verse is unintelligible having substituted the phrase "so be it" for "Amen." But this should not be the case if indeed the two have the same meaning.

It can't be clearer from Revelation 3:14 above that the writer of that verse was referring to a proper noun "Amen" or "Amen-Ra" not a phrase "so be it." In the Egyptian pantheon, Amen-Ra is the visible manifestation of the divine wisdom, without which we cannot live. In other words, Amen-Ra is the ruler of divine creation, which is consistent with what the writer of Revelation 3:14 wrote.

Amen does not mean so be it. Amen or Amen-Ra is an ancient Egyptian deity whose name the Christians had co-opted to end their prayers.  

NEW AGE HUMANISTS & QUANTUM MECHANICS

It has become a fad for the new age humanists to dump the subject of "consciousness" on quantum mechanics or at least try to explain it away using quantum physics.

There is no denying the existence of "spirit" or even "consciousness." However, the unpredictable behavior of the electron in the sub-atomic level, verified by Heisenberg and double slit experiment, cannot necessarily be ascribed to "consciousness" or to the minds of the researchers. I'm convinced that the unpredictability in the sub-atomic behavior of the electron is due to light-induced consciousness rather than the minds of the researchers.

In the double slit experiment, in the absence of light; that is when the the researchers are not looking or paying attention, the electron behavior is predictable. However, in the presence of light; that is when the researchers are looking and paying attention, the electron behavior becomes unpredictable. Why?

 Well in the absence of light, electron has no information, no consciousness, and certainly no free will - note, without light there's no observation. In the presence of light, however, electron has light-induced consciousness, information and free will. I contend that as consciousness-induced free will makes the behavior of matter unpredictable on the material level, the light-induced free will makes the behavior of electron unpredictable in the sub-atomic level.

All in all, free will is a burden on matter; it's the source of randomness and unpredictability in our universe.

PROGRESSIVE SECULARISM

If you went back in time to 19th Century Europe, there's a high probability you would land in the middle of a hot debate between the secularists and the Christian autocrats! 

It was a perfect era for the secularists for they finally garnered enough cojones to challenge the Christian autocrats to historicize the biblical scriptures. This unprecedented intellectual challenge is evidenced by the recorded volume of literature written about the historical origin of Christianity at that time. 

As though it was not a herculean task, the Christian autocrats accepted the challenge, but failed miserably in historicizing Christianity in a convincing manner. The people responded in kind; they left the church in droves. That was the death of religious autocracy, and the emergence of "progressive secularism" in Europe.

Africa of today is reminiscent of Europe that I just described! You stand a better chance of making millions in Africa today, being a pastor, selling indulgences to people than a production engineer. Yes, it's that bad!

So as a secularist, when people ask you to leave religion alone and talk about science and economics, tell them it's impossible to teach logic and economics to people who believe they can get rich just by drinking "holy water." 

UNVEILING MUHAMMED & MUHAMMEDANISM

In this short essay, I'll go against traditional historical narratives, and show you the true human-historical origin of the name "Muhammed."

Thales of Miletus is said to be the first Greek philosopher, who studied in ancient Egypt. Thales reportedly believed that there's only one kind of stuff out of which everything was made, and that stuff he said was water - this is called Thales doctrine! In ancient Egypt, where Thales supposedly schooled, the word for water was "Mu." So expectedly, the earliest followers of Thales' doctrine are called Muists, and their doctrine (I.e. the belief that water is the fundamental substance) is called Muism. 

Plato was perhaps the most famous substance Munist in history. As a point in fact, by 5th Century AD, Platonism and Munism had become synonymous, and Neoplatonists (i.e. followers of Plato or his doctrines) had carried these two philosophical concepts into the "Roman Ionosphere." Having entered the Latin lexicon, the word "Muism" was corrupted to "Monism" - linguistically the letter U and O are interchangeable!

Neoplatonic-Monism spread like wildfires out of Rome into Moorish occupied Spain. Moorish heavyweight scholars, men like Ibn Al-Farabi and Ibn Al-Arabi, were pleasantly receptive to the concept of Monism or Munism, perhaps because they're Neoplatonists themselves, and they began to add the tittle "Muhammed," "Muhammad" or "Mohammed" to their names - remember, the word "MU" means water in ancient Egyptian; the word "hammed" or "hammad" means praise worthiness in Arabic, and the two words when combined means: water is praiseworthy!

It's not implausible that it was from Moorish Spain that the concept of the fundamental oneness of MU (water) or MUHAMMEDANISM would spread to the rest of the world. And just as the earliest followers of Muism were called " Munists," the earliest followers of MUHAMMEDANISM were called "Muhammedans" or "Muslims."

If you're a fast thinker, you must have noticed two things: 

1. How the oneness attribute of "MU" or water was clearly foisted on Allah.

2. How Muhammed is a personification of WATER just as Jesus is a personification of the SUN.

If you don't believe me try going without the sun and water for a month and see what happens - 70-75 percent of human body is water, and our solar system cannot exist without the  sun. 

In conclusion, Arabic word for water is Ma, and the Hebrew word for water is Ma'yim, these two words are obvious corruption of the ancient Egyptian original word for water "MU." In the Abrahamic philosophical thought process, demiurge is a self-creating almighty being. However, in the African/Pharaonic philosophical thought process that early Neoplatonists and many Sufis embraced, demiurge is not self-creating at all. Demiurge was brought into being by "NU" or "MU" (I.e. water); hence, you have the primordial water of "NU" or "MU."

I'm convinced that it was this primordial "MU" that Neoplatic-Sufis and other scholars in Moorish Spain and Baghdad used to praise as Muhammed (note that the word hammed means praiseworthy in Arabic), and this I consider the reason why many early Sufi scholars added the alias "Muhammed" to their names.

Consequently, the concept of Muhammedanism or "Muslism" is an abstract concept derived from the concept of the primordial water of "MU" or "NU."

The Crescent-Moon As The Symbol of Islam

The crescent moon is one of the oldest symbols known to humanity. In fact, it is the symbol of many ancient civilizations. In ancient Egypt, the crescent moon was a symbol of Mother goddess Hathor and Saitic Isis. 

How did the crescent-moon symbol of Saitic Isis in ancient Egypt become the symbol of Islam today? I have a strong conviction that it was Al Ma'mun, the 7th Caliph of the Abbasid Caliphate, who reduced this ancient symbol to de facto symbol of Islam. 

Al Ma'mun Ibn Harun (the 7th Caliph of Islam) was the founder of Abbasid library in Baghdad (I.e. House of Wisdom), where ancient Egyptian, Greek and Byzantine-Christian texts on philosophy and astronomy were translated into Arabic - many of these translated texts would later go into the formulation of the Quran (see the Mihna). An Avid astronomer, Al Ma'mun built astronomical observatories in Baghdad, and in recognition of his contributions to astronomy, the crater Almanon on the moon was named after him.

That Al Ma'mun was seriously commitment to astronomy is old and well-known in history. What is hidden, however, is how the knowledge of astronomy influenced Al Ma'mun, and the role astronomy played in the codification of the Quran. Let me attempt to bring what is hidden to light with scholarly facts; so, follow me.

To an average Muslim, the word "Quran" means "to recite" or "to read " in Arabic. The only problem with that meaning is that Arabic is not really a language but a script. What many people call Arabic is actually a dialect of middle Aramaic/Syriac. Prior to 7th-8th century CE, "Syriac was the medium of communication and cultural dissemination for Arabs and, to a lesser extent, Persians. Primarily a Christian medium of expression, Syriac had a fundamental cultural and literary influence on the development of Arabic." (Dave Johnson). In other words,  most words in Arabic can best be understood in Aramaic/Syriac. So let's examine the word "Quran" in its original Syriac form. In Syriac, the word "Quran" is written "Qryn" (consonantal Alphabet), meaning "Pentateuchal reader."

What is the "Pentateuch?" Contrary to what we've been generally told that the Pentateuch is the Greek word for theTorah (the first 5 books of Moses); wrong, the Pentateuch is a collection of 5 books on horoscopic astrology, written by Dorotheus in 1st century CE Egypt. The Pentateuch, also known as Carmen Astrologicum, was believed  to have been written originally in Greek, but was  later translated to Palhavi (Persian), Arabic and English respectively - Similar translation was also found in the Indian Sanskrit, called "Yavanajakata." In 7th-9th CE Arabia, the science of astrology that started out in Ancient Egypt for tracking time had become an astrological chart system for reading minds. Arabic authorities started using the interaction between the moon and the sun (crescent moon) to read their client's minds - the general saying then was "the sun receives the moon by exaltation and the moon receives the sun by domicile." I believe Al Ma'mun was one of these Arabic Authorities. Al Ma'mun built 2 astronomical observatories in Baghdad, but he might have gotten his inspiration from Kabba in Mecca. Kabba, in antiquity, was an astronomical observatory post, ignorantly referred to by Muslims as a pagan shrine.

I'm convinced beyond reasonable doubt that Arabic authorities reduced the ancient symbol of the crescent moon to de facto symbol of Islam because of their commitment to astronomy. In fact, the Abrahamic Triad scriptures can be seen as a compedium of astrological charts and messages, disguised in ancient fables!

The "Tukey-Rule."

The question arose as to why most African states lost their indigenous writing scripts. More specifically, why did the Efik, Ibibios and Igbos lose their ancient Nsibidi writing script? To answer this question, one must first understand what I call the "Tukey-rule."

In October 1962, at the height of the Cuban missile crisis, an unmarked chopper landed at the staff quarters of the Princeton University Campus in New Jersey.  No sooner had the chopper landed  than Prof. John Tukey was hurriedly ushered into the unmarked chopper, and transported safely into an undisclosed location. Who was John Tukey and why was he rescued when the United States civilization was apparently on the verge of being destroyed by Soviet nuclear bombs.

John W. Tukey was a great American mathematician best known for development of the Cooley-Tukey algorithm, and was credited for coining the word "software." He was purposefully rescued by the government for his superior computational power. In other words, Tukey was a rare genius and had to live. The unwritten rule, which I call the "Tukey-rule," is when your civilization is on the verge of being destroyed by foreign enemies, the only civilians you rescue are the selected few with superior computational power. The rationale behind this unwritten rule is that certain individuals have the intellectual power to jump start a new civilization should the previous one come to an abrupt halt. John Tukey was deemed to be one of those individuals.

If John Tukey was a very valuable person in 1962, traditional priests were just as important to African states in antiquity.  It was the priests who developed the sacred art of writing, and only they knew how to write. Unfortunately, in antiquity, when the African civilizations were being destroyed by foreign invaders, the priests were neither rescued nor protected as John Tukey was in 1962. The priests became easy targets for the foreign mercenaries, and as the priests died so did the civilization and the knowledge of writing they exclusively possessed. Needless to say,  if the knowledge of writing had not been kept secret from the public and exclusive to the priests, the knowledge would not have died with the priests.       

In conclusion, the Efik, Ibibios and Igbos lost their indigenous Nsibidi script because their leaders failed to rescue the priests who were the most valuable individuals in their society when their civilization was being destroyed by foreign enemies. As these priests were exterminated, so was the knowledge of writing they exclusively possessed. Today, the Efik, Ibibios and Igbos now use Latin, a derivative of Phoenician script, to transliterate their phonetic sounds.

WHAT USE IS IFA TODAY?

According to Wole Soyinka (the only Nobel Laureate of literature in Africa), "it is a very curious phenomenon that Yoruba scholars are reluctant to come to terms with IFA. Even when they are trying to be somewhat objective about IFA, they are totally incapable of relating to it. They say it is a contemporary world. What use is IFA today?"

You can only ask "what use is IFA today" if you think IFA is merely a literary corpus of ancient verses, parables and anecdotes. However, there is more to IFA than a repository of literary corpus. IFA is high-science!

If African youths had not abandoned IFA for religious superstitions, they would have taken computer science to another level. For example, there are 16 principal Odu IFA elements, and these 16 IFA elements can further be extended to 65,535, and in some cases infinitely. Similarly, a CD uses 16 bits per sample. That gives each sample a range from 0 - 65,535. Coincidence?

There have been talks about computers running out of data storage space. This will never happen because the Odu IFA elements (i.e. patterns of binary code upon which computers operate) can be extended infinitely. So, if Odu IFA elements can be fractalized infinitely; certainly, computer-memory RAM can be extended infinitely.

FROM ABACUS TO MODERN COMPUTER - there is nothing new under the sun

Before the advent of electronic calculators, and certainly before the advent of modern computers, there was Abacus. Abacus is a simple calculator made from beads and wires, widely used by merchants and traders in Asia and Africa. The history of Abacus stretches back more than 2500 years; in fact, Abacus remained the fastest form of calculator until the 17^th Century.

The Abacus

Nearly every ancient civilization had its own Abacus counting frame. The use of Abacus in ancient Egypt was mentioned by the Greek historian Herotodus, who said that the Egyptians manipulated the pebbles from right to left.

In the West, Leonardo da Vinci was probably the first person to attempt to design an Abacus machine (Circa. 1452-1519). However, Gottfried Liebniz was the first person to attempt to use the Abacus machine for binary calculations; turning the machine into a rudimentary logic gate. (Circa. 1646-1716). In his book “Liebniz and China,” Franklin Perkins expressed to his readers how fascinated Liebniz was with the African and the Chinese I Ching binary geomancy (i.e., Ifa) that he obsessively pleaded with the absolute ruler of France, Louis XIV of France, to invade Egypt, having realized that the knowledge of binary geomancy was salient to executing all four basic mathematical operations (adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing) on his Abacus machine. It was said that Napoleon’s failed invasion of Egypt in 1798 was a late implementation of Leibniz’s plan.

It would take almost another 300 years for early computer scientists to fully understand how Liebniz’s Abacus machine works, and how it could be adapted into a modern computing system we are now familiar with today.

Computers truly came into their own as a great invention of the 20^th Century, but they are essentially a modern day Abacus machine – there is nothing new under the sun.

My review of Joseph Atwill's book: "Caesar's Messiah."

In the book “Caesar’s Messiah,” Joseph Atwill contends that the canonical gospels are typologic fiction formulated by the Flavian Dynasty (i.e. Roman Imperial family) to invalidate the Torah. While the “Flavian thesis” proposed by Joseph Atwill is interesting, but certainly not convincing, I strongly believe that Mr. Atwill's claim is a clever attempt to validate the authenticity of the Torah and the pretended antiquity of the Hebrew sect.

Mr.Atwill is a "Josephus scholar" in that he premised his thesis on Josephus's historical accounts in the 1st Century CE. However, Josephus has been proven to be a pseudegraphical personage, invented to buttress the "Ancient Hebrew" thesis or the pretended antiquity of the Hebrew sect. In other words, Josephus never really existed as a historical figure, and Mr. Atwill's book and thesis must be taken with a grain of salt.

I do agree with Mr. Atwill that the Canonical gospels are typologic fiction, but so is the Torah. The Torah (i.e. Pentateuch) in its original form is called the Septuagint (LXX). However, the Septuagint is a crude translation of the confiscated-Ancient-Egyptian texts to Greek, not the translation of Hebrew texts to Greek an now implied by Mr.Atwill and the proponents of "Ancient Hebrew" thesis.

Moses as the purported writer of the Torah could not have written the Torah in Hebrew, even if he had lived, because there was no Hebrew script when Moses supposedly lived. I maintain that Moses or Ahmose is a pseudegraphical-Egyptian name that was created by the Greeks to hide the identity of Akhenaton or AmenHotep IV, an Egyptian king famously known to be the father of MONOTHEISM. I further maintain that the Septuagint/Torah/Pentateuch/Old Testament was formulated by the Greeks from the Ancient Egyptian texts, and the New Testament was formulated by the Romans. Before the two books (Old and New Testaments) were combined into one, the followers of the old testament (mostly monophysites) fought the followers of the New Testament (I.e. dyophysites) for nearly 1000 years (see the Crusade). The outcome of this fight led to the fall of the Eastern Roman Empire, and the rise of Mohammedanism in Constantinople, and later Islam.

In other words, Islam in its original form was a form of orthodox Christianity, and remember that before the invention of Jesus by the Romans, there was Serapis in Hellenistic or Coptic Egypt, and before the invention of Separis by the Greeks, there was Ausar(Osiris) the father in Ancient Egypt. 

Ladies and gentlemen, the stories of the Hebrew as described in the scriptures are distorted and plagiarized stories of the Ancient Egyptians.
