500 doctoral scientists skeptical of Darwin Growing list of signatories challenges claims about support for theory - www.wnd.com The Tower of Babel - www.youtube.com Egyptian Indians? Genesis 11:7 Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. We have mentioned a number of New World sites at which ancient Old World writing has been found. These examples, of which there are many, serve to show that before the Dark Ages, knowledge of the New World was fairly common and that man has always been curious and resourceful. One of the most unusual examples of ancient Old World inscriptions in the New World is found in northwestern Oklahoma. The inscriptions are located on the walls of Anubis cave. If you think that name is Egyptian, you are correct. Inside the cave are a number of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. These include a human figure standing on a three-dimensional cube. Rays extend from the figure's head. Anubis, the Egyptian god that was said to conduct the souls of the dead to judgment, also appears. The oddest element among the figures, however, is the presence of Celtic ogam inscriptions. These inscriptions indicate that the cave was used for Celtic ceremonies. Were the Celts familiar with Egyptian hieroglyphs? Or was this North American cave visited in ancient times by both Egyptians and Celts? It was not until God confused man's language at the Tower of Babel that man took seriously God's command to spread out ...
Ancient Egypt was an ancient civilization of eastern North Africa, concentrated along the lower reaches of the Nile River in what is now the modern country of Egypt. The civilization coalesced around 3150 BC with the political unification of Upper and Lower Egypt under the first pharaoh, and it developed over the next three millennia.Its history occurred in a series of stable Kingdoms, separated by periods of relative instability known as Intermediate Periods. Ancient Egypt reached its pinnacle during the New Kingdom, after which it entered a period of slow decline. Egypt was conquered by a succession of foreign powers in this late period, and the rule of the pharaohs officially ended in 31 BC when the early Roman Empire conquered Egypt and made it a province.
Edfu (also spelt Idfu and known in antiquity as Behdet) is an Egyptian city, located on the west bank of the Nile River between Esna and Aswan, with a population of approximately sixty thousand people. For the ancient history of the city, see below. Edfu is the site of the Ptolemaic Temple of Horus and an ancient settlement, Tell Edfu (described below). About 5 km (3 miles) north of Edfu are remains of ancient pyramids. The town is known for the major Ptolemaic temple, built between 237 BCE and 57 BCE, into the reign of Cleopatra VII. Of all the temple remains in Egypt, the Temple of Horus at Edfu is the most completely preserved. Built from sandstone blocks, the huge Ptolemaic temple was constructed over the site of a smaller New Kingdom temple, oriented east to west, facing towards the river. The later structure faces north to south and leaves the ruined remains of the older temple pylon to be seen on the east side of the first court. en.wikipedia.org Produced by crom@ris directorzone.cyberlink.com

Visitors to Chicago's Field Museum could swear thats Michael Jackson's face on a 3000-year-old Egyptian bust. The spitting image limestone sculpture has been on display at the museum since 1988, but recently started drawing attention because of its likeness to Michael Jackson. Unfortunately the bust, which was carved sometime between 1550 BC and 1050 BC, is of a woman. The statue, which was not on view at the museum for almost 100 years, now resides near the exit of the "Inside Ancient Egypt" exhibit -- and has been bantered about on the blogs recently. "I have no idea whether Jackson ever visited the museum, but the similarity between the limestone statue of a woman -- which is about 3000 years old -- and Jackson is astounding," said a museum spokesman. • • A history note: The limestone bust, which went on public display in 1988, was carved during the New Kingdom Period (1550 BC to 1050 BC); the same time period as Ramesses and King Tut. • • The shocker: In 1993, Jackson, whose face was then virtually identical to the statue, cut a video titled "Remember The Time," which he sets in ancient Egypt -- during the time of the Pharaoh Ramses. (In the video, actor Eddie Murphy plays Ramesses. It also features Magic Johnson and Iman.) • The curiosity: The nose of the ancient Egyptian statue, which has been in the museum's private collection since 1899, is disintegrating. www.nbcchicago.com
John Anthony West explores architectural anomalies and other evidence of an advanced civilization predating the ancient Egyptians. Across Egypt, the many architectural engineering artistic and scientific wonders still defy explanation. They mysterious Oserion appears to already have been an ancient ruin when it was "uncovered" by Seti I during the construction of the Temple of Abydos in the first Dynasty. New developments in the "age of the sphinx? Debate. In the Cairo museum is a Stella, which describes reparations to the great sphinx performed by the Father of the traditionally credited builder.

euronews.net Middle Kingdom new mummies discovered by Archaeologists
Twenty-two mummies were found in niches along the tombs walls of a storeroom inside a 2600-year-old tomb during the latest round of excavations at the vast necropolis of Saqqara, west of Djosers step pyramid. The storeroom for mummies dates back to 640 BC during the 26th Dynasty, which was Egypts last independent kingdom before it was overthrown by a succession of foreign conquerors beginning with the Persians, Zahi Hawass said. But the tomb was discovered at an even older site in Saqqara that dates back to the 4300-year-old 6th Dynasty, he said. Eight sarcophagi were also found in the tomb. Archaeologists so far have opened only one of the sarcophagi and found a mummy inside of it. Mummies are believed to be inside the other seven. Most of the mummies are poorly preserved, and archaeologists have yet to determine their identities or why so many were put in one room.

Following my last film showing what looks like a dinosaur carving on an ancient Egyptian sarcophagus, this film shows the same sarcophagus showing carvings of what look like jet aeroplanes, submarines and disc-shaped ufos which bear an uncanny resemblance to the engraving found on the wall at the New Kingdom temple at Abydos.

Over 3500 years ago, Rome was no more than a soggy marsh and the Acropolis was just an empty rock, but Egypt was on the brink of its greatest age - the New Kingdom. There was an explosion of creativity, wealth and power in Egypt that would make it the envy of the world. After defeating the Hyksos invaders, successive Pharaohs expanded and maintained their Empire through both force and diplomacy. In the process, they won Egypt vast amounts of gold, influence and respect. They included; Ahmose, Hatshepsut, Tuthmosis III, Amenhotep III, Akenhaten, Tutankhamen and Ramesses III. Behind the power of the Egyptian empire lay a vast wealth of natural resources. Chief among these was the river Nile, the freeway of the ancient world, whose floodplains also provided huge expanses of fertile farming ground that kept Egypt self-sufficient and usually famine-free. Along the banks of the Nile, the humble papyrus plant was used to create a bureaucratic efficiency and cultural sophistication previously unknown to mankind

For over 3000 years a story has lain hidden beneath the sands of Egypt. A story we are only now beginning to reclaim. It is a story of a time we call The New Kingdom. It left us the greatest treasures of the ancient world: an extraordinary legacy in papyrus, stone and gold. But behind these treasures lies an epic tale of real people: people like Ramesses , Tutankhamen the Boy King and one of the most beautiful and powerful women of the ancient world, Queen Nefertiti

The death of Ramesses II started the slow decline of Egypt's Golden Empire. The New Kingdom (1550 -1069 bc) ended with the death of Ramesses XI. All of the scenes in this video are from my private collection of DVDs or videos on this subject.
The royal procession scene from the monumental Polish film Faraon (1966) by the late legendary Polish director Jerzy Kawalerowicz (1922-2007). The film is based on the famous Polish novel "Faraon" by Bolesław Prus . Although the story is historically not real one, it remotely echoes some of the historical currents in the late periods of the ancient Egyptian New Kingdom. The film is characterized by its beautiful scenery and costumes. It is worth mentioning that the counselor of the costumes and scenery is the great Egyptian director and artist Shady Abdel Salam, who created the most important film that came from Egypt "The Night of Counting the Years" in the late 1960s. The film 'Faraon' is one of the milestones of the Polish cinema. The scene shown here presents the procession of the pharaoh. The costumes and designs are inspired by the ancient New Kingdom material. The music was composed by Adam Walaciński.
