Session 18 September 2021

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!
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.

(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
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.

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.
 
Not exactly that one, but the other one referenced therein by Mari:

At the time was actively involved in the discussion, but at the end was beating around the 'wrong' bushes, so to say, in addition to wildly speculating without much of reliable info to back many of those speculations up.

It was suggested:
If you haven't already read "From Paul to Mark", you might want to do so as it may help you to get accustomed to how to read ancient texts and note when the author is obfuscating or where possible interpolations or redactions have occurred.
which is in the process of rereading, after few others including Zohren's dissertation mentioned here and CatHoM in another thread.

Going through that "460 added years?" thread, it seems things haven't moved much from where they were some time ago, which possibly means there's no much interest anymore in that issue.

On the other hand, haven't seen these questions in previous post here addressed on the Forum so far, which take a look at the problem at hands from a bit different perspective. They do not attack directly the sorting out of the late Roman history issue, but look to 'position' the early Christian figures and events, like Paul, Marcion and his 'fight' with 2nd century AD Church Fathers, and the destruction of Jerusalem, in relation to the cometary impact event of 536 AD that allegedly ended the Roman Empire.

Also, in this session the C's answered "Yes" to Pierre's question, "Caesar died about 70 years before this 536 event?", which is almost only a half of what was later discussed in that "460 added years?" thread.
If 460 years were added, then Julius Caesar, who was born in 100 BC according to the official timeline, would be born in 360 AD according to the revised timeline. That's 180 years before the 540 AD events.

The difference, if C's answer in this thread is closer to the actual truth, could be very important. It would seriously question if Christianity would really have had enough time to spread after Paul's missions and letters, and to take such a strong roots across the Roman Empire, to produce so many artifacts depicting the last real Roman emperor, Justinian, as a devoted Christian only about 70 years after the assassination of Caesar. Which naturally implies that there would have been even less time, maybe much less time, from Paul to Justinian. To know how much time we actually have at our disposition for all these things to transpire, it would be appropriate to position the people and the events also in relation to Caesar's death.

Of course, the underlying assumption on which this line of inquiry relies is that those people actually lived in those times, not necessarily under those exact names though, and that the events in question also actually happened.

If we could know these few things, me thinks that we could work something out of all that mess and lies, regardless of the textual sources we have being complete forgeries or not.
