Can't recommend enough Zohren's dissertation "Valerius Antias and Caesar", great booklet to get in right mood and state of mind for diving into the FPTM.Thanks Laura and Chateau Crew for the new session! This part is coincidental for me:
One of the many books on the pile that I've finally gotten too is QFG translated, Red Pill Press published, Valerius Antias and Caesar by Carl Zohren. It is an eye-opening exposition in the use of lies and deceit by Ancient Roman historians, specifically Valerius Antias. As the book cover says: His work provided the justification Caesar's murderers needed to go down in history as Rome's Saviors.
So, to read the above from the session, it kind of follows that the influence of the 'lizzies' has been repeatedly deceiving mankind for 1500 years. When I read old roman political invective, I think of it as propaganda. Softening the reality of the lie. But, some big lies have been building layer upon layer for centuries. A new dot has now been connected! I can't wait for Laura's next book!
If really true, this "addition of 470 years" in that specific time period would put everything in a very different light, especially the history of early Christian movement.(Pierre) I'm trying to reconcile the AD timeline of history and the BP timeline, ice cores and dendrochronology. There seems to be one matching marker at 536 AD - a year without summer, very cold, very bad weather - seemingly matching the 1500 BP mark with a converging cooling all over the planet revealed by ice cores and tree rings. So my question is: Is it a real match?
A: Yes
Q: (Pierre) In a previous session you mentioned about 470 years added between us and Julius Caesar. If it matches, it means these 470 years were added before 536 AD?
A: Yes
Q: (Pierre) It means Caesar died about 70 years before this 536 event?
A: Yes
I don't recall this line of inquiry followed up in later sessions after this one.
If only 70 years were between the murder of Caesar and alleged cometary impact that ended the Roman Empire, with presumably Justinian being the last real emperor, then Marcion and everything that happened vis-a-vis him and early Christian Fathers was after the event, including the compilation of Luke-Acts? Was Justinian then really a Christian or were all the churches and basilicas that bear his images and mosaics today just 'transformed' Roman imperial temples after the fact?
Did Paul act before or after the event? Presumably it was before, as there is basically no trace of that devastation in what we have from him, and the event possibly caused even more chaos in the time period from Paul to Marcion. If Paul really acted before the cometary impact, how long it was after the murder of Caesar?
What about the destruction of Jerusalem dated to 70 AD that was the background upon which presumably Mark was written, how did that relate to the 'impact' event? If that was after the event as the date would suggest, which might have also been one of the reasons for the Jewish uprising, were the Romans, and if so which Romans exactly as the Empire would be no more, responsible for its destruction? Did maybe the event caused the destruction of the Jerusalem and the "mother church"?
How many years after the murder of Caesar exactly did the 'first' destruction of Jerusalem, for whatever reason, happen?
If there would be interest and enough time and energy left, maybe some of these questions might be considered for some of the next sessions with the C's.
If of course they have not been answered already somewhere on Forum and I just haven't been attentive enough to have caught that myself. In that case, my sincere apologies.
