Easter Island Heads


Update 3/22/2021
The links embedded in this blogpost no longer work so here is an article that talks about what they believe to know about these sculptures: https://www.forbes.com/sites/trevornace/2017/07/26/famous-easter-island-heads-have-hidden-bodies/?sh=be1375ef8041

I saw this article linked to on a messageboard...digging around the Easter Island heads reveals they have entire bodies buried underneath them, planted deep into the ground.






Excerpt from the linked article:


Easter Island is perhaps best known for its immense stone statues ‘Moai’, of which there are approximately 900 scattered across the island. Some of the Maoi were placed, facing towards the centre of the island, on platforms called ‘Ahu’, built along the coasts. Captain Cook was told in 1774 that they were monuments to earlier ‘ariki’s', or royalty. The ‘Maoi’ are also described in local tradition as having once possessed ‘mana’ or a beneficial power.

All Easter Island’s giant statues were supposedly made within the space of a few hundred years. Different phases are clearly discernible, and may be separated by far longer periods than orthodox opinion allows. It is significant that the statues do not bear the slightest resemblance to the Polynesians, and in terms of size, appearance, and number are unique in the Pacific.

All the giant statues on Easter Island have long ears, and some islanders still practised ear elongation at the time the first Europeans arrived.

The elongated ear lobes on these images is interesting to me because it is a feature that is also seen in some African tribes, and in Asian Buddha statues.  Not really sure why that is interesting to me, maybe "curious" is a better word...not sure how this all fits into today's world and things that have happened in Biblical times. I've read some people on the messageboard question the possibility of a Nephilim connection.... hmmmm, perhaps...

Jesus's Tomb




Every now and then someone comes up with the "fact" that Jesus isn't who he said he was. A few weeks ago I read the book "The Jesus Family Tomb" by Simcha Jacobovici. It was a difficult read for me because my mind was screaming in protest at all the errors in their assumptions  (or "deductions") the whole time I was reading it, lol. Imagine trying to read with all that screaming going on, sheesh. Anyway, I've been seeing this theme of Jesus having been married and having had a flesh and blood son through sexual relations with Mary Magdalene come up from time to time, and this book makes the claim that they have found the evidence for it.They also made a movie about their "archeological discovery": See their website

I read part of the Wikipedia article about it. See also this one. What I love about Wikipedia is you can find a wealth of sources and links to search this out further. I think Wikipedia has gotten a bad rap. Like anything else, it does of course have some errors, but you can search it out for yourself by following their sources. I like what the Wikipedia article says about the Christian response.

Part of that response:

"Simcha has no credibility whatsoever," says Joe Zias, who was the curator for anthropology and archeology at the Rockefeller Museum in Jerusalem from 1972 to 1997 and personally numbered the Talpiot ossuaries. "He's pimping off the Bible … He got this guy Cameron, who made 'Titanic' or something like that—what does this guy know about archeology? I am an archeologist, but if I were to write a book about brain surgery, you would say, 'Who is this guy?' People want signs and wonders. Projects like these make a mockery of the archeological profession."[41]

and this one:
  
The Washington Post reports that William G. Dever (mentioned above as excavating ancient sites in Israel for 50 years) offered the following:
"I've known about these ossuaries for many years and so have many other archaeologists, and none of us thought it was much of a story, because these are rather common Jewish names from that period. It's a publicity stunt, and it will make these guys very rich, and it will upset millions of innocent people because they don't know enough to separate fact from fiction."[11]  (emphasis by bolding and underlining mine)
We need to be on our guard and sound the warning to anyone who will listen. The deceptions are deepening and when "they" make a documentary that seems so authoritative, many people accept it as fact. Fictions like The DaVinci Code has many people already convinced of the lies that these "archeological finds" are supposedly now substantiating.

How this is going to lead into the antichrist's rise to power is still something I haven't quite put together, but I think it is one of the pieces of the puzzle.
