  4. Ralph Ellis Part 2 - Revisionist History, Egypt & the Bible, Connections Revealed & Jesus of Edessa

    Ralph Ellis Part 2 - Revisionist History, Egypt & the Bible, Connections Revealed & Jesus of Edessa

    Thanks for tuning into another episode of the Free ideas Podcast! In this (PART 2) long-form 2-part episode I speak with author Ralph Ellis about his research and discoveries around Biblical works and their connections to the egyptian civilization, historical analysis, astrotheology and textual interpretations that go much deeper than mainstream achedemia or religion dare to tread. ---- Ralph Ellis has been researching biblical and Egyptian history for more than 30 years. Being independent from theological and educational establishments allows Ralph to tread where others do not dare, and it is through this independence that Ralph has discovered so many new biblical and historical truths. Perhaps one of the biggest 'cover-ups' is the fact that the Israelites were originally Egyptians, the Hyksos Shepherd pharaohs who were ejected from Egypt in the 17th century BC. But this simple correlation colours the rest of biblical history, for it means that both King Solomon and King Jesus were also of Egyptian heritage. ---- Why are so many of the famous biblical characters missing from the historical record? Thirty years ago, the intrepid and dogged researcher Ralph Ellis decided to find out.  Does this biblical lacuna mean that both the Old and New Testaments are fictional, as many people have claimed? Or are we simply looking in the wrong locations or perhaps even the wrong eras? The first glimmer of the truth was not hard to see, for even the 1st century Romo-Jewish historian Josephus Flavius claimed that the Israelites were the Hyksos pharaohs of Egypt. In which case the Book of Exodus may well be correct, from a historical context, but both theologians and historians were looking in the wrong era. According to Josephus the conflated Exodus of the Hyksos-Israelite peoples was in about 1570 BC, rather than 1240 BC.  And upon further investigation it transpired that Josephus was correct: the biblical Hyksos-Israelite Exodus was a real historical event. From this small kernel of truth, the entire biblical epic has now been transformed from mystic mythology into a central component of real secular history. All the way from Genesis to Revelations, this simple but rational reevaluation technique became the foundation for The Egyptian Exodus Series and The King Jesus Trilogy. The New Testament story has had its chronology shifted in much the same fashion, from the AD 60s back to the AD 30s, and it is this chronological dislocation that has concealed the historical truth. In addition, while Josephus Flavius recorded the entire history of 1st century Judaea he never seemingly mentions the biblical family, because he has subtly distorted their names. But it eventually became apparent that the venerable Syriac chroniclers had preserved the original pronunciations; and so by comparing the two records, the complete biblio-history of 1st century Judaea could at last be stitched back together. The end result, after three decades of tireless research, is that the gospel stories can now be placed back into the historical record as a critical component within Roman and Parthian history. For the historical Jesus-character was a king, just as the gospels claim, a valiant king with a large treasury and lofty ambitions to take over the Roman Empire. Which is why Jesus (Izas) was jailed alongside revolutionaries who had committed murder in the revolution. (Mk 15:7) Perhaps readers can now see why the gospels were written in the manner they were. Rome did not appreciate revolts in its eastern realms, and sought to quell all thoughts of further unrest.  So the martial monarch called King Jesus (Izas) of Edessa became known to the wider world as a pauper prince of peace, who happily paid his Roman taxes and turned the other cheek. The industrious Roman propaganda machine that Josephus Flavius had created, had worked like a charm. But perhaps even Emperor Vespasian could not have imagined that upon the back of this temporary Imperial solution to some local unrest, that an entire religion would be born – Christianity. ---- Ralph Ellis links below Website http://edfu-books.uk Facebook https://www.facebook.com/ralph.ellis.144 All music produced and recorded by Rex Costello  Get in touch at freeideas@mail.com

    Mark Steeves - On Mythic America, Ancient Sites, Philosophical Musings & the Podcast Revolution

    Today's episode features a conversation with a fellow podcaster by the name of Mark Steeves, aka Mystic Mark. Mark is the producer and host of his own show entitled "My Family Thinks I'm Crazy", he is also the creator of Alt Media united, a database for tons of other very cool podcasts which explore a wide range range of topics from the occult, to hidden history, spirituality and the like. I found MFTIC around the fall of 2021 on a random Spotify podcast search, for the esoteric foundations and non-mainstream narratives of the ancient Egyptian civilization. I honestly can't even remember what keywords I was typing into the search but I ended up stumbling upon an episode of the my family thinks im crazy podcast. The episode definitely did have a guest on who was educated on the subject I was searching for but definitely don't remember what episode that was specifically. Needless to say I found myself frequently returning to his show and eventually became a regular listener. Mark is also the booker for another very popular show called Tin Foil Hat with Sam Tripoli, a show that Mark himself has been a guest on a number of times. A short excerpt from Mark's website reads "Independent Thinker, Conspiracy Sleuther, Mystical Explorer, and Spiritual Seeker. I have always questioned the official narrative whether it was from the classroom, on television, or the world around me. I research anything and everything that presents itself to my intuition." Mark and I span a pretty wide breadth of topics from the geological ages of americas coastlines, the evolution of language, ancient sacred sites and geomancy, his personal podcasting journey and what his learned in the process, we talk indigenous legends, some American occult history as well as share artistic devices and recommendations for the podcast toolkit and much more. I had a a ton of fun with our conversation and I am stoked for you to hear it now.
