Us, That Pale Blue Dot

 

August 7, 2021

Us from Voyager 1's perspective.

The Pale Blue Dot is a photograph of planet Earth taken on February 14, 1990, by the Voyager 1 space probe from a record distance of about 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles, 40.5 AU), as part of that day's Family Portrait series of images of the Solar System.

In the photograph, Earth's apparent size is less than a pixel; the planet appears as a tiny dot against the vastness of space, among bands of sunlight reflected by the camera.

Voyager 1, which had completed its primary mission, was leaving the Solar System. It was commanded by NASA to turn its camera around and take one last photograph of Earth. Across the great expanse of space, at the request of astronomer and author Carl Sagan, (the phrase "Pale Blue Dot" was coined by Sagan) in his reflections on the photograph's significance, documented in his 1994 book of the same name

In September 1977, NASA launched Voyager 1, a 722-kilogram (1,592 lb.) robotic spacecraft on a mission to study the outer Solar System and eventually interstellar space after the encounter with the Jovian System in 1979 and the Saturian System in 1980, the primary mission was declared complete in November of the same year. Voyager 1 was the first space probe to provide detailed images of the two largest planets and their major moons.

The spacecraft, still travelling at 64,000 km/h (40,000 mph), is the most distant human-made object from Earth and the first one to leave the Solar System. Its mission has been extended and continues to this day, with the aim of investigating the boundaries of The Solar System, including the Kuiper Belt, the Heliosphere and Interstellar Space. Operating for 43 years, 10 months and 28 days as of 2 August 2021, it receives routine commands and transmits data back to the Deep Space Network. Voyager 1 was expected to work only through the Saturn encounter. When the spacecraft passed the planet in 1980, Sagan proposed the idea of the space probe taking one last picture of Earth.^[8] He acknowledged that such a picture would not have had much scientific value, as the Earth would appear too small for Voyager's cameras to make out any detail, but it would be meaningful as a perspective on humanity's place in the universe.

Although many in NASA's Voyager Program were supportive of the idea, there were concerns that taking a picture of Earth so close to the Sun risked damaging the spacecraft's imaging system irreparably. It was not until 1989 that Sagan's idea was put into practice, but then instrument calibrations delayed the operation further, and the personnel who devised and transmitted the radio commands to Voyager 1 were also being laid off or transferred to other projects. Finally, NASA Administrator Richard Trudy interceded to ensure that the photograph was taken. A proposal to continue to photograph Earth as it orbited the Sun was rejected.

Voyager 1's Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) consists of two cameras: a 200 mm focal length, low-resolution wide-angle camera (WA), used for spatially extended imaging, and a 1500 mm high-resolution narrow-angle camera (NA) – the one that took Pale Blue Dot – intended for detailed imaging of specific targets. Both cameras are of the slow-scan vidicon tube type and were fitted with eight colored filters, mounted on a filter wheel placed in front of the tube.

The challenge was that, as the mission progressed, the objects to be photographed would increasingly be farther away and would appear fainter, requiring longer exposures and slewing (panning) of the cameras to achieve acceptable quality. The telecommunication capability also diminished with distance, limiting the number of data modes that could be used by the imaging system.

After taking the Family Portrait series of images, which included Pale Blue Dot, NASA mission managers commanded Voyager 1 to power its cameras down, as the spacecraft was not going to fly near anything else of significance for the rest of its mission, while other instruments that were still collecting data needed power for the long journey to interstellar space

The design of the command sequence to be relayed to the spacecraft and the calculations for each photograph's exposure time were developed by space scientists Candy Hanson of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Carolyn Porco of the University of Arizona. The command sequence was then compiled and sent to Voyager 1, with the images taken at 04:48 GMT on February 14, 1990.

The data from the camera was stored initially in an on-board tape recorder. Transmission to Earth was also delayed by the Magellan and Galileo missions being given priority use of the Deep Space Network. Then, between March and May 1990, Voyager 1 returned 60 frames back to Earth, with the radio signal travelling at the speed of light for nearly five and a half hours to cover the distance.

Three of the frames received showed the Earth as a tiny point of light in empty space. Each frame had been taken using a different color filter: blue, green and violet, with exposure times of 0.72, 0.48 and 0.72 seconds respectively. The three frames were then recombined to produce the image that became Pale Blue Dot.

 Of the 640,000 individual pixels that compose each frame, Earth takes up less than one (0.12 of a pixel, according to NASA). The light bands across the photograph are an artifact, the result of sunlight reflecting off parts of the camera and its sunshade, due to the relative proximity between the Sun and the Earth. Voyager's point of view was approximately 32° above the ecliptic. Detailed analysis suggested that the camera also detected the Moon, although it is too faint to be visible without special processing.

Pale Blue Dot, which was taken with the narrow-angle camera, was also published as part of a composite picture created from a wide-angle camera photograph showing the Sun and the region of space containing the Earth and Venus. The wide-angle image was inset with two narrow-angle pictures: Pale Blue Dot and a similar photograph of Venus. The wide-angle photograph was taken with the darkest filter (a methane absorption band) and the shortest possible exposure (5 milliseconds), to avoid saturating the camera's vidicon tube with scattered sunlight. Even so, the result was a bright burned-out image with multiple reflections from the optics in the camera and the Sun that appears far larger than the actual dimension of the solar disk. The rays around the Sun are a diffraction pattern of the calibration lamp, which is mounted in front of the wide-angle lens.

Pale blue color

Earth appears as a blue dot in the photograph primarily because of Rayleigh scattering of sunlight in its atmosphere. In Earth's air, short-wavelength visible light such as blue light is scattered to a greater extent than longer wavelength light such as red light, which is the reason why the sky appears blue from Earth. (The ocean also contributes to Earth's blueness, but to a lesser degree than scattering.) Earth is a pale blue dot, rather than dark blue, because white light reflected by clouds combines with the scattered blue light.

Earth's reflectance spectrum from the far ultraviolet, to the near infrared, is unlike that of any other observed planet. And is partially due to the presence of life on Earth Rayleigh scattering, which causes Earth's blueness, is enhanced in an atmosphere that does not substantially absorb visible light, unlike, for example, the orange-brown color of Titan, where organic haze particles absorb strongly at blue visible wavelengths.  Earth's plentiful atmospheric oxygen, which is produced by photosynthetic life forms, causes the atmosphere to be transparent to visible light, which allows for substantial Rayleigh scattering and hence stronger reflectance of blue light.

According to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory’s HORIZONS tool, the distances between Voyager 1 and the Earth on February 14 and May 15, 1990, were as follows:

Distance of Voyager 1 from Earth
Unit of measurement		February 14, 1990
Astronomical Units		40.472229
Kilometers		6,054,587,000
Miles		3,762,146,000

Reflections

In his 1994 book, Pale Blue Dot, Carl Sagan comments on what he sees as the greater significance of the photograph, writes:

Look again at that dot. That is here. That's home. That is us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, human beings who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy, and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines. Every hunter, and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization. Every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.

Our posturing, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.

The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.

It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we have ever known.

In 2015, NASA acknowledged the 25th anniversary of the photograph. Ed Stone, Voyager project scientist, commented: "Twenty-five years ago, Voyager 1 looked back toward Earth and saw a "pale blue dot", an image that continues to inspire wonderment about the spot we call home."

In 2020, for the image's 30th anniversary, NASA published a new version of the original Voyager photo: Pale Blue Dot Revisited obtained using modern image processing techniques "while attempting to respect the original data and intent of those who planned the images." Brightness levels and colors were rebalanced to enhance the area containing the Earth, and the image was enlarged, appearing brighter and less grainy than the original. The direction of the Sun is toward the bottom, where the image is brightest.

To celebrate the same occasion, the Carl Sagan Institute released a video with several noted astronomers reciting Sagan's "Pale Blue Dot" speech.

What is Voyager 1's distance from earth today?

As of early 2026, Voyager 1 is about 162–163 astronomical units (AU) from Earth.

Here’s what that means in more human terms:

• ~24.3 billion kilometers

• ~15.1 billion miles

• ~22.5 light-hours away (radio signals take almost a full day to get back)

Voyager 1 is moving away from the Sun at roughly 17 km/s (~61,000 km/h), so it gains about 3.6 AU per year. That’s why any quoted number is always an approximation—it’s drifting farther every hour.

Context that makes the number hit harder:

• It’s well beyond the heliopause, the boundary where the Sun’s influence gives way to interstellar space.

• No human-made object has ever been farther from Earth.

• The “Pale Blue Dot” image was taken at ~40 AU. Voyager is now 4× farther away than it was then.

A Queen of Scots

 

June 5, 2021

Queen Scotia, the queen that is said to have come from Egypt and gave her name to the Scots, and likewise her husband King Gaythelos is said to have given his name to the Gaels. Together they ruled Ireland and Scotland. It is not known if the story is true or mythical but if she truly did make it to the isle, is she really to be found buried in a glen outside of Tralee, Ireland?

A short distance from the bustling Irish town of Tralee in County Kerry there is an otherworldly looking glen, which is known as Scotia’s Grave. According to Irish folklore, the glen was the location of a battle known as Sliabh Mish, which took place between the Celtic Milesians and a supernatural race called the Tuatha Dé Danann (tribe of the gods). Although it was the Milesians, who were victorious in battle, it was a triumph at the expense of their queen, Scotia, who is reputed to have been buried in the glen.

Who Was Queen Scotia?

Queen Scotia appears in a chronical called the Book of Leinster, a medieval Irish manuscript that was compiled in around 1160 AD. The book was compiled by an abbot named Áed Ua Crimthainn who deeply respected the traditions and history of Ireland, even when they were at odds with his views as a Christian or his reasonable beliefs as a well-educated man.

She is described as the daughter of an Egyptian Pharaoh, the wife of a Greek king, and a contemporary of the Biblical Moses who allegedly cured her husband after he was bitten by a venomous snake.

Queen Scotia was the daughter of an Egyptian Pharaoh

Both Scotia and her husband King Gaythelos were exiled from Egypt for unspecified reasons during a time of great upheaval, and it is after this that they traveled to Europe where they founded both the Scots in modern day Scotland and the Gaels in Ireland. Scotia gave her name to the Scots and to Scotland and Gaythelos gave his name to the Gaels Scotia’s death in battle was supposedly the result of the pregnant woman attempting to jump a bank on horseback.

A Traditional Interpretation of the Myth of Scotia

The myth of Queen Scotia has traditionally been regarded by historians as fictitious. It was recorded by an abbot at a time where people in Christian countries wanted to assert their ancient roots, and links to important Biblical figures. It is particularly noteworthy that Scotia’s husband was said to have been healed by Moses.

The site of Scotia’s Grave itself could be a way for a place so remote from the original locations in the Bible to steak a believable claim to having Biblical links. ‘Burial place of the wife of a man who once met Moses’, is vague enough; to be believable, and unremarkable enough that it does not warrant extensive investigation to verify it, while still referencing one of the more important figures in the Old Testament. Although the myth of Queen Scotia (also Scotia) is fantastical it is not out of the realms of possibility and controversial historian Ralph Ellis believes he has found evidence that Scotia really did exist.

The History of Egypt

Ellis claims the myth of Scotia does not originate in the Book of Leinster but far earlier, in a text called The History of Egypt Aegyptiaca written in 300 BC by a Greco-Egyptian author called Manteo. Evidence in Aegyptiaca may point to Scotia being an identity of Ankhesenamun, a daughter of Akhenaton and Nefertiti, and both half-sister and widow of Tutankhamen. According to Ellis, Ankhesenamun went on to marry a Pharaoh named Ay; whom he claims is actually Gaythelos. After Ay’s reign was cut short, the couple was sent in to exile where they made their way to Europe and settled in Iberia. Rather than Scotia herself making the journey to Ireland, Ellis believes it was her descendants who migrated, four generations after she settled in Iberia. Of course, this interpretation does not explain the existence of Scotia’s Grave or the references to Queen Scotia in Medieval Irish Literature.

Archaeological Evidence?

Although Ellis’ bold claims are extremely controversial, he is not the only one to find evidence the myth may be at least partially true. Lorraine Evans, who studied Egyptology at one of the world’s top universities, also believes the myth of Queen Scotia cannot be entirely debunked. She points to the remains of an ancient boat found in Yorkshire, which is of a type found in the Mediterranean at around the time the myth is set, as just one piece of archaeological evidence proving a link between ancient Egypt, Britain and Ireland.

It is often the case that myths and legends have a kernel of truth at their core and there is no reason the story of Scotia should be any different. The legend may have grown up around the desire to find links to Biblical figures but if you strip back the layers it becomes more plausible. Maybe Scotia did not ever meet Moses and maybe she was not an exiled Egyptian queen. Perhaps, if she was real, she was just an extraordinary woman who made an exceptional journey across continents almost 4000 years ago.

A Moon Repurposed

 

August 8, 2021

Who am I to question NASA or the other experts on Mars? I do not, at least on matters of fundamental science. They say that Mars has been a dead planet for billions of years; I question that number. As far as I know, organic matter has never been discovered there, and if it had, that would certainly have made the news. My point is this though, with organic matter, it is possible to use Carbon 14 dating (The Carbon 14 (C-14) dating method is a radiometric dating method. Radiometric dating uses the known rate of decay of radioactive isotopes to date an object. Each radioactive isotope has a known, fixed rate of decay, which we call a half-life. The half-life is the amount of time it takes for a quantity to fall to half of the value that it started with. This means that if we know the isotope and its rate of decay, then we can calculate how old the substance is).

With this in mind, it makes it a bit hard to date the place accurately. We know from Mar’s geographical features that there was once water there, apparently in abundance, and we know that it is still there; though it is doubtful that it’s in useful quantities.

There are enough anomalies on Mars to convince me that Mars was once occupied, not colonized but occupied. There is the face on Mars, and this very odd airport looking thing, 

There too are pyramidal structures, terraced slopes like those that you see on Earth, clearly purposed for farming. Clearly, whoever had been there in the not so distant past had put some effort in to the place. It is easy to blame extraterrestrials for things we do not understand; however, in this case, we have written records to guide us to the truth. 

f you have followed these articles diligently, we know who the face is, why it was constructed, and who did it. We also know that the Annage were there for some time. We were created some 350,000 years ago, we also know that King Alalu was banished to Mars soon after the Annage arrived on earth between 432,000 and 450,000 years ago, and we reckon that operations on Mars were suspended about 100,000 years ago. Mars has not been a dead world for billions of years; it has only been dying for that length of time. The Annage used Mars as a resupply/refueling safe haven after their shuttles transited the asteroid belt. During King Alalu’s initial passage through the asteroid belt, he used the equivalent of atomic weapons to blast a clear path through; the following astronauts used water or its byproducts to push all that chaotic rock out of the way. Mars had potable surface water that they used on their return journey through the asteroid belt when returning to Nibiru.

Mars today is an airless waterless desert, incapable of supporting even the most primitive type of life. During the course of those 300,000 years that Marduk operated on Mars, he watched the planet deteriorate and doubtlessly tried to find either a planet wide solution or, a suitable replacement for at least the resupply for the return journey. As luck would have it, just 6,000 kms or 3,700 miles away was Phobos, the larger of Mars’ two moons, of whose core was water ice. It has a radius of 21 km or 13 miles, and orbits Mars every 7 hours and 39 minutes.

Phobos 2 was the last space probe designed by the former Soviet Union. It was designed to explore the moons of Mars, Phobos and Deimos. It was launched on 12 July 1988, and entered orbit on 29 January 1989. 

The intent to carry out a mission to Phobos as the target was first made public on 14 November 1984. Phobos was chosen as the target because the former Soviet Union wanted to avoid directly competing with previous American missions. In addition, they also wanted to do something just as, if not more ambitious than anything attempted by the Americans. Originally, a 1986 launch was planned but this was later moved to 1988. Phobos 2 operated nominally throughout its cruise and Mars orbital insertion phases on 29 January 1989, gathering data on the Sun, interplanetary medium, Mars, and Phobos. Phobos 2 investigated Mars surface and atmosphere and returned 37 images of Phobos with a resolution of up to 40 meters.

Shortly before the final phase of the mission, when the spacecraft was to approach within 50 m of Phobos' surface and release two landers (One, a mobile hopper, the other, a stationary platform) contact with Phobos 2 was lost. The mission ended when the spacecraft signal failed to be successfully reacquired on 27 March 1989.

 The Russian probe weighed 6,220 KG or 13,684 lbs. with orbital hardware attached. The duration of the mission was 8 months 15 days. The mission comes to a “confused” end shortly after the above two images were taken by the Russian probe. So what happened March 27, 1989?

In our article “The Cardinal Rule”, I talk about how I really do not like speculation, and I really do not. However, in this case, there are similarities that cannot be missed. If you have ever read Arthur C Clarke’s “2001 A Space Odyssey”; and its sequel “2010 Odyssey Two”, much of the plot revolves around artificial intelligence and, almost equally, an alien presence warning us away from Jupiter’s moon Europa. Since the failure of the Phobos 2 mission, there has not been any effort by any nation to return to Phobos. Strangely, after the probe went in to its “spin”, a “garbled” message was received from it. Although the images from the probe’s telemetry and the final image received have never been released, highly credible sources say that the probe was struck by an “unknown object”. It is highly likely that whatever is casting that shadow in our image Anomaly 2 was/is the “unknown object”.

The church tells us that we are alone in the universe because god made us because we are special to him. A literal reading of the bible tells us that we share at least this solar system with another intelligent race. The Hindu Vegas tell us that a race of “gods” once lived amongst us, the UFO community tells us that “aliens” are still among us; this odd incident in the vicinity of Mars indicates strongly that those ancient gods of both the bible and Hindu are still out there.

Some question whether the above incident was the impetus for U.S. President Reagan’s push for a “Star Wars” missile defense system; at first glance, it may seem a logical thought. There are two things about that though, firstly the Annage have almost no respect for us so denying us access to a moon or its environs is perfectly normal behavior for them. Secondly, even if the incident was a pure chance accident where the probe got in the way of a scheduled Annage launch, there was no way of us knowing that the launch was in progress. Moreover, the Annage were not going to cancel/delay their activities on account of an insignificant probe from earth, so either way the probe was a goner.

Why The Covenant (Part 3)

 

July 31, 2021

WTC Abraham's journey. A military blocking action to try to contain Marduk/Ra. This may have been one of the first uses of “Special Forces”.

There were fourteen generations – 490 years – between Abraham and King David, the Israeli who can be seen as the one who received the reward promised by the covenant. That seems an awfully long time to wait. The thing that we must remember, though, is this: we are not dealing with human timescales, nor are we dealing with supernatural ones either. We are dealing with the Annunaki, the Annage, where 3,600 years pass on Earth while Nibiru completes just one orbit.

Given:

• Planet A (Earth): 1 orbit = 1 year = 365 days, with each day = 24 hours

• Planet B (Nibiru): 1 orbit = 3,600 Earth years = 1 Planet B year

• Assume Planet B also has 365 days per year

You want to know:
How long (in Earth time) would 1 Planet B day be?

---

Step 1: Convert Planet B's year into Earth days

3,600 Earth years × 365.25 days/year = 1,314,900 Earth days

So, Planet B’s 1 orbit = 1,314,900 Earth days

---

Step 2: Divide by 365 Planet B days to get length of 1 Planet B day in Earth time

1,314,900 Earth days ÷ 365 Planet B days ≈ 3,601.64 Earth days per Planet B day

---

Step 3: Convert Earth days to Earth hours

3,601.64 Earth days × 24 hours/day = 86,439.36 Earth hours

---

✅ Final Answer:
One 24-hour day on Planet B would equal approximately 3,601.64 Earth days, or about 86,439 Earth hours.

---

Convert 3,601.64 Earth days into Earth years

3,601.64 ÷ 365 ≈ 9.87 years

✅ Final Answer:
3,601.64 days is approximately 9.87 Earth years (based on 365-day years).

---

Again, this is a very basic and simplified equation to give an idea of the time differential between both planets. It is the complexity of these equations that caused the construction of monuments like Stonehenge and others. The observation of the equinoxes helped break time up into larger chunks to make it easier to manage.

The conflict that Abraham and Marduk found themselves in ended in nuclear disaster—the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. We know from WTC 3, Marduk’s autobiography, that he was in Harran, and it was a logical place to be. It was a major center, lying between Akkad and Sumer itself. It was an additional area from which Marduk was raising an army.

Marduk arrived in Harran in 2048 B.C.; Abraham was born in 2123 B.C., and it was in the precise year of 2048 that El Shaddai told Abe to get him and his family gone from Harran. For Abe, it was a triple departure: his country (Sumer), his birthplace (Nippur), and sadly, his father’s residence (Harran). Abe was unaware of where Canaan was, and El Shaddai had to show him where it was. He eventually reached the Negev (The Dryness) and Egypt.

While in Egypt, he spoke with Pharaoh (unnamed), who fitted him out with feed animals and, interestingly, camels that were trained for war. Clearly, Abe was no simple shepherd; he treated with Pharaohs and other kings like King Melchizedek of Jerusalem as an equal. Melchizedek gave manna to Abraham; inside that chalice is a square cut that represents the sacred bread, MFKZT. That statue is located at Reims Cathedral, France.

King Melchizedek. One of the first of his named Order. A Levite Priest.

Abe was descended from a line of priests, and when you consider the names of his and his brother’s wives—Sarai (princess) or Milcah (queenly)—they indicate a connection with Sumerian royalty.

The Book of Genesis 14 deals with the invasion of Canaan by a league of kings of the East, from Sumer. They did well in capturing cities along the King’s Road, detoured around the Dead Sea, then headed straight for Sinai. During all of this, they took Abram’s nephew Lot prisoner. It was a refugee from Sodom who told Abe that Lot was a prisoner; Abe then took a small force of men—318 to be exact—and pursued the invaders all the way back to Damascus.

At this point, we must ask: what were the invaders from the East after? In addition, why was El Shaddai so pleased that Abe had stopped them? It is obvious at this point that Abe was no sheepherder and that he was actually a superb military leader. The only thing in the Sinai Peninsula worth fighting over was the Annage Space Port.

Abraham’s entire journey from Ur to Egypt had been about forging alliances and having a large, powerful army capable of blocking or slowing a sudden strike by Marduk for the spaceport. Marduk made a tactical error—instead of taking the spaceport and cutting off incoming supplies, he chose to go after Enlil, choosing to cut the head off the Hydra, so to speak.

Marduk had gathered great forces and was applying tremendous pressure on Enlil and clan—so great, in fact, that most of the city-states of Sumer had withdrawn their forces from the field and deployed them for close-in local defense. Finally, in 2024 B.C., the pressure had become so unbearable that, with permission from the Great Council, the sons of both Enlil and Enki—Nergal and Ninurta—deployed atomic weapons and blew the spaceport to hell, as well as Sodom and Gomorrah, to keep them from Marduk.

That puts a new light on what Sodom and Gomorrah really were, as opposed to the drivel the church doles out.

The Christian Church insists on its drivel, that these two ancient cities of learning were destroyed because god thought they were full of sin. That's far from accurate. We know instead that they were held by forces loyal to Marduk. They were bombed because the man power needed to liberate them, couldn't be sacrificed. Similarly to why the Americans used a nuclear device on Japan at the end of WWII in 1945.

So The Covenant—what was it? It was a long-delayed reward for Abraham’s exemplary military service. But why was it delayed for so long? Firstly, recall that Enlil did not particularly like us. His first priority as commander of Mission Earth was to restore smooth operation to the Dur-an-ki, the "bond heaven-earth." The new space centre in Jerusalem.

Why The Covenant (Part 2)

July 30, 2021

Abe's Journey 

The land of Canaan would be the inheritance of Abraham's descendants but Abraham would only be a pilgrim there. On his journey to Canaan there were seventeen places that Abraham visited recorded in the Old Testament. Each of these places are important in the history of Israel and there is evidence of their existence in ancient times through archaeology.

1. Ur of the Chaldees was the original home of Abraham. It was one of the greatest cities of the ancient world, and Ur was the capital of the ancient Chaldean Empire in ancient Mesopotamia. Sometime around 1900 BC the Lord told Abraham to leave his home and country and go to a land that He would show him. He obeyed and departed from Ur with his father Terah and his nephew Lot. (Gen. 11:31; Acts 7:2-4).

2. Haran in Mesopotamia was the first stopping place recorded in the Bible. They dwelt here until after the death of his father Terah, and in Haran the Lord called Abraham again (Gen. 12:1-4; Acts 7:4). Nahor, Abraham's brother, had probably settled in Haran before they departed.

3. Damascus was a great city in the ancient world and it was located in ancient Aram (Syria). Abraham and his nephew Lot had departed Haran and followed the leading of the Lord. They moved southward and passed by the city of Damascus along the way and it might have been at this time that Abraham secured his servant Eliezer (Gen. 15:2).

4. Shechem or Sichem was the first place where Abraham came to in Canaan. The Lord appeared to Abraham again and confirmed his promises, and It was here at Shechem that Abraham built the first altar to the Lord (Gen. 12:6, 7).  There is much history in this place (Joshua 24:1, Judges 9:6, 1 Kings 12:1).

5. Bethel. Abraham continued his journey southward and came to a mountain near Bethel, where he built a second altar (Genesis 12:8).

6. Egypt. Abraham and his family journeyed southward through the land of Canaan and a major famine hit they migrated to Egypt. In Egypt Abraham deceived the King in order to save his own life and was expelled from the land of Egypt (Gen. 12:9-20). The king of Egypt feared Abraham because of a dream and allowed him to leave with all of his possessions.

7. Bethel. Abraham and his nephew Lot returned to their former home at Bethel, but on account of strife between their herdsmen, they parted each other’s company as friends. (Gen. 13:1-9).

8. Hebron. Lot chose the warm climate and lush plains of the Jordan Valley and pitched his tent toward Sodom, and Abraham left the desirable Sodom and Gomorrah and sojourned at Hebron in Mamre where he heard again from the Lord and built an altar (Gen. 13:10-18). An interesting note is that Hebron was one of the oldest cities in ancient Canaan and Numbers 13:22 says that "it was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt."

9. Dan. Four kings of the east came to Canaan who were united under Chedorlaomer of Elam (the territory of ancient Ur) and made war against the five kings of Canaan. In their conquest of the Jordan Valley, they captured Lot as a prisoner of war, and when Abraham heard of it he pursued the four kings, overtook them at Dan, and defeated them with the help of the Lord (Gen. 14:1-14), Abraham had assembled an army of 318 men. The city of Dan was located in the north between Hazor and Damascus.

10. Hobah. Abraham and his army of servants smote the army of the four kings of Chedorlaomer and chased them to Hobah, which was located near Damascus. Lot and all the people with them were rescued including their belongings (Gen. 14:15, 16).

11. Salem. On his return, Abraham passed through Salem (Jerusalem) and was met by a man named Melchizedek whose name means "king of righteousness". Melchizedek was a mysterious man regarded in the Bible as the priest and king of Salem. This was the first mention of the word "priest" in the Bible and he gave to Abraham bread and wine. The Bible also mentions that Abraham paid him 1/10th of all his spoils from the war as a "tithe". Hebrews 7:3 gives an interesting description of Melchizedek and therefore his identity remains a mystery. The king of Sodom also came out to meet Abraham at the same place (Gen. 14:17-21).

12. Hebron. When Abraham finally returned to Hebron God reminded him of his covenant with him and changed his name from Abram to Abraham (Gen. 15:1-21; 17:1-27). During his stay at this place Ishmael was born (Gen. 16: 1-16) and the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed (Gen. 18:1 - 19:38)

13. Gerar. Abraham left Hebron and for a time sojourned among the Philistines in Gerar which was in southern Canaan west of Beersheba. It was in Gerar that Abraham deceived King Abimelech (Gen. 20:1-18).

14. Beersheba. Abraham remained at Beersheba for some time. During this time, he made a covenant with king Abimelech. Later he gave birth to a natural son of him and Sarah in his old age, he named him Isaac which means "laughter". When Isaac was born Ishmael was expelled and his mother Hagar fled and was met by "the Angel of the Lord" which was the Lord Himself (Gen. 21:1-34).

15. Moriah. It was in Beersheba that Abraham received the command from the Lord to take his only son Isaac to Mount Moriah, a mountain of Salem, to offer Isaac as a burnt offering (Gen. 22:1-18).

16. Beersheba. Abraham returned to Beersheba and dwelt there for some time.

17. Hebron. Abraham bought the cave of Machpelah as the family sepulcher and buried his wife Sarah there (Gen. 23: 1-20). At the age of 175 Abraham died, and was also buried in the cave at Machpelah.

 

Why The Covenant (Part 1)

 

July 27, 2021

Our former overlords, the Annunaki - who from heaven to earth came, theirs is a story, that is so inextricably linked to ours that we cannot see the forest for the trees. It is thanks to them that we have four major world religions, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and Hinduism. The latter remembering them the most accurately. For tens of thousands of years the population of the mid - east, and the Indus Valley, worshiped a plethora of "gods"; either by their Sumerian proper name or, by any number of epithets.

Christianity has its base in the Jewish Torah, and as we have learned, has been twisted beyond any recognizable form. The Jewish Torah did not really begin to take shape until after the Babylonian captivity circa 560 B.C. The period of captivity did some odd things to what the Israelites believed, it undoubtedly provided some insight in to their own history, and it too shaped El Shaddai in to the Israelite God of today. The Israelites amalgamated the Annunaki gods in to one god.

El Shaddai received his authority on earth from his father, King Anu of Nibiru. That authority was contested from the start by his brother Enki, and then more ominously, by his nephew Marduk.

All that followed happened because of the complicated rules of succession. On Nibiru, primogeniture was determined by the son who was born to a half-sister wife instead of who was born first. Enki was the first-born but, he was born by a concubine to King Anu whereas, Enlil the second born, was born to King Anu's half-sister, thereby he was first in line to the throne. Marduk ever ambitious contested this bitterly. In an attempt to keep Marduk occupied and reasonably happy, Enki and Enlil determined that Marduk should bear the weighty responsibility of managing their resupply facilities on Mars.

This he did and did it well, while stationed there he also built a monument in honor of his grandfather, the usurped King Alalu. This we know as The Face on Mars.

This image was taken back in 1976 by NASA’s Viking 1, which was orbiting Mars surveying it for its sister ship Viking 2.While the responsibility suited him well, it also gave him the opportunity to ferment rebellion. When operations on Mars were suspended due to the increasing inability of the planet to support the effort, most of the astronauts who had been based on Mars came to Earth. While here, they created chaos, taking human wives and siring children on them, and in the process, creating a race of giants. There is some controversy about this, were they truly giants as in the story of David and Goliath or, were they just common people of renown? The latter makes a lot more sense. 

Marduk was clearly an intelligent individual; he was schooled in all that Enki, his father, could teach him. All except genetics, Marduk's interest in this area of research worried Enki, and when Marduk pressed his father about it, Enki is quoted as saying, "my son, what more can I teach you or show you that you do not already know? " Clearly, Enki was reticent about giving the keys of CRSPR to his first-born son. To some extent, Enki and Ninkharsag had already discussed some of the questions surrounding ethics regarding CRSPR. It would seem that they, just as we are today, were worried about in their case Marduk, as in 2021, back alley labs creating a race of super beings.

King Anu, soon after the commencement of Operation Earth, had divided earth in to three distinct regions, the Mid - East he gave to El Shaddai, Africa to Enki, and the Indus Valley to Inanna. Enki made Egypt his center of operations, there becoming known as Ptah, his son Marduk, becoming Ra the Sun God. Egyptian history gives us a convoluted view of Ra, angry and restless, yet good to his most loyal followers. Ra was banished after the first pyramid war, which was started by the inadvertent death of Marduk's younger brother Thoth. He was drowned when attempting to escape from Ra's security personnel when Ra sent them to locate Thoth and bring him back home so as he would be prevented from marrying Enlil's granddaughter Inanna. Marduk swore before the great council that his brother's death was truly a tragic accident, and that he had intended no violence towards his brother. In this case, Marduk was hard done by, yet his punishment was fitting. Though he was not directly responsible for his brother's death, the mis - adventure was incited by Marduk's interference in Thoth’s' and Inanna's affairs. For Marduk, this would have been a tough life lesson in humility.

Enki and his n were almost entirely responsible for our education, Enlil too, had his favorite humans and they were taught math, science, and astronomy. Marduk did his part as well, Thoth bringing us Hermetics. As we know from teaching our children, this type of life can be most satisfying however, Marduk wanted more. He had never forgotten, or gave up his ambition to be in charge of Mission Earth. Marduk was sneaky in how he applied pressure on his uncle Enlil, and how he began his coup. The incident at the Tower of Babel being just one example. Some scholars say that the biblical version is wrong. That instead of El Shaddai being pissed, and forcing us to learn new languages, it was really military invasions from the north and west that caused the confusion of language. Either way, Sumerian was no longer the earth's only spoken tongue.

Over the course of our last few articles, we have paid some attention to Abraham of Ur

Remember that a lot of the Old Testament took place in Sumer. Abe was contemporaneous with Marduk, and it is very likely that he was actually the King of Ur. The bible gives us a dissembling view of Abraham, something along the lines of, he is elderly, that he is surrounded by children, the women are beautiful but dressed conservatively, and, there are goats, sheep, chickens, and maybe a donkey or two running around. The church has done this very deliberately, why? To hide any hint of the Grail and its associated Code of Service. But more on this in another article.

Abe was 75 years old when the events that led to the nuclear destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah took place, it would be a 24-year journey that would begin in Harran. 

So how far did Abraham travel from Harran to Egypt?

Roughly 1,000–1,200 kilometers (about 620–750 miles), depending on the route taken.

Here’s the breakdown in biblical–historical terms:

• Haran (modern Şanlıurfa, southeastern Turkey) → Canaan → Egypt

• Abraham wouldn’t have gone straight south across desert. Like most travelers of the time, he likely followed the Fertile Crescent routes—river valleys, trade roads, and grazing land.

• From Haran to Canaan: ~700–800 km

• From Canaan into Egypt (likely the Nile Delta): another ~300–400 km

Travel reality check

• On foot with livestock, this could take months, not weeks.

• The Genesis narrative (Genesis 12) frames the Egypt leg as famine-driven, which fits what we know about Bronze Age climate instability and migration patterns.

So Abraham’s journey wasn’t a quick relocation—it was a continental-scale migration for its time, spanning much of the ancient Near East.
