Who really built the pyramids
Gloria Emeagwali

Some of the Arabs also believe that they were the ancient Egyptians.
You remember the fallout when Benjamin Netanyahu joked - he must have been joking, that it was “ the Jews”, the Hebrew slaves with their advanced technologies of those days that actually built the pyramids, thereby generating all kinds of vile reactions from the anti-Zionists, epithets such as “ ignoramus” - from diverse Africologists, the Egyptians, not to mention the Nubians, Africologists, Egyptologists foaming at the mouth and yelling about the 16th dynasty…
So much of that period of history is misty. Fast forward and even the history of the Temple of Solomon is now in need of repairs. From yesterday's Jerusalem Post: Historian claims Solomon was not King of Israel, but an Egyptian Pharaoh

Correction: It was Menachem Begin that slapped his Egyptian hosts in the face in 1977, when he told them that it was “The Jews that built the pyramids”, the pyramids, a world heritage site, one of Egypt’s main claims to fame and a lucrative source of revenues from tourism…
Benjamin Netanyahu had obviously not done any original research on that aspect of Hebrew history and was probably only quoting his predecessor and hero, Menachem the co-founder of the Likud Party (along with Ariel Sharon)
The wider fallout from a closer investigation of that period of history is quite worrying, to say the least. I’ll have to ask my pastor Samuel Oloruntoba , what if the Hebrews were never slaves in Egypt etc., is it goodbye to the story of Joseph, the ten plagues, the Prophet Moses, Shemot - the Book of Exodus, in fact, the five books of Moses known as the Torah of Moses, how the children of Israel miraculously crossed the Sea, the ten Commandments at Mt. Sinai, Torah Mi-Sinai, the manna falling from heaven during their 40 years in the wilderness, during which time their shoes did not get worn out, Joshua, the conquest of Canaan?
Then on what foundations does Christianity stand and what are the implications for the rest of humanity ?
From ancient history to current reality and this most worrying issue:
Medvedev: Israeli arms shipments to Ukraine will destroy the relationship with Russia
Should the shit hit the fan can you imagine the refugee crisis that will hit Africa - the exodus from Europe to safer zones down South?
On the lighter side, and you’ve heard it once before:
“An American Jew and an Israeli met in Paris in the Cafe de la Paix. The American asked, “Do you know the United States?”
“I’ve never been there”, answered the Israeli
“Have you ever heard of the Empire State Building?”
“Of course!”
The American said proudly, “My father built that. And have you heard of the Brooklyn Bridge? My father built that too. And who do you think built the White House in Washington? My father!”
This was too much for the Israeli, who said, “And you, I’m sure, have heard of the Dead Sea?”
“But of course! What about it?”
“Well, let me tell you - my father killed it !”

Gloria in Excelsis Emeagwali,
'Powerful explosions' behind Nord Stream leaks, Danish police say
Who do you think made those powerful explosions?
Whatever next! Our internet cables? The banking system would collapse, followed by the collapse of other communications - train, air, hospitals…
Here's the latest from Information Clearing House.
Pray for us. Let us work and pray for world peace.
Seriously, right now, the situation is not looking too good, especially with the impression we get that Russia increasingly gets frustrated and therefore, desperate and likely to get more ferocious in this proxy war between NATO and Russia, far from good news for us in Sweden, just across the waters being told that the Suwałki Gap which is between Kaliningrad and Belarus where the WW3 is likely to begin
As the wise men say, to err is human, to forgive is divine. Indeed Vladimir Putin should have invoked the one only deity of Holy Russia invoked the same old argument with which the study of the Torah begins with what I have variously regurgitated here.
In justifying your suggestion Putin could quote Rabbi David Bar- Hayim’s extended argument here in “Rabbi David Bar-Hayim admits Jewish involvement in promoting immigration into Western countries”
Invoking the Rabbi’s recommendation without being accused of “anti-Semitism” Putin should have and could still tell Zelensky to go back home to either Israel or to the so-called “ occupied Territories” of Judea and Samaria in that West Bank neighbourhood - or he could have given the advice that my Iraqi Sunni friend wanted me to convey to Baby Bush: To give Netanyahu, not Uganda - which does not belong to him, but half of Texas which he took from Mexico.

Why so many Commandments in the Torah?

Just in case it’s going to be dismissed as coming from some fringe lunatics, I had better preface this with a quote from Albert Einstein: “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world”

Of course, Elon Musk is not that sort of guy!
It’s still such a stupendous feat of engineering !! Did you notice how disgusted the Egyptian Egyptologist was, and his fury, shouting that “The Egyptians built the pyramids, and they were not slaves!”
( BTW, for me, Hosni Mubarak had the classical facial features of what I imagined as one of his Pharaonic ancestors)
Pre- the Arpatheid era some of the Oyibo marveled and were baffled that The Benin Bronzes could have possibly been created by Africans South of the Sahara…
Moving on to the Dogon of Mali, what's your verdict on The Sirius Mystery Explained?
And your verdict on Area 51
