Visiting St Albans Museum – Excellent Educational Experience! (30.5.2024)

30/05/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

St Albans Museum records the recent and the ancient history of the area – with the building itself being an important part of this record. I am including below a random but substantial number of photographs taken on the day – recording the many rooms, exhibits and important artefacts! On the day there was a very interesting Ladybird Exhibition – which interested Mei-An due to her advanced drawing ability! As usual, there was no data concerning Chinese migrants from the British Empire – but there was a very interesting exhibit regarding the Windrush Generation!

St Albans: Verulamium Museum! (29.5.2024)

Of course, Roman rule was collapsing by the time (in the 4th century) that Christianity was becoming popular throughout the Roman Empire. Some wealthy Romans tolerated Christianity prior to this date (perhaps 3rd century) as being just one of many choices of belief from across their Empire – as the Roman Authorities were not yet exclusively “Christian”. This is why Celtic Christianity was probably from Egypt and premised upon the monasticism of the Desert Fathers – having little directly to do with Rome. The Catholic Church did not arrive as a State power in England until the Norman Conquest of 1066 (isolated Catholic Churches and monasteries had arrived in England prior to this date – but possessed no political influence or power with England’s Celtic Chiefs or Anglo-Saxon Kings). In just one-hundred years of its arrival in 1066 – this new and aggressive type of intolerant Christianity had wiped-out its Celtic cousin by the 12th century.

No Historical Evidence of Jewish Enslavement!

Biblical Origin of Judaic Racism & Militarism! (11.5.2024)

11/05/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

Despite the Catholic compilers of this learned edition of the Bible attempting to justify and placate the inherent violence and ignorance inherent in this text – there is NO objective historical evidence that Judaism existed much before 500 BCE – or that the followers of this originally “polytheistic” religion possessed any significant numbers or were ever held captive in Babylon or Egypt! What texts such as the above have done in the past is served to justify the racist ideology of contemporary “Zionism” – declared by the UN in 1975 as a form of “White Supremacy”.

On How Grover Furr Exposes Incorrect Soviet-Era Historical Analysis! (30.1.2024)

The archaeologist, as a trained academic, is applying a logical method of ‘removing’ eras of material obscuration, being careful to correctly observe the origin, construction, constitution, and positioning of said debris. Indeed, amassing this data is crucial for constructing a correct (contextual) historical narrative regarding the age, origin, purpose, and fate of the object being observed. If any of this analysis is false – then this falsehood permeates its way though the entire academic process – leading to incorrect assumptions and interpretations. Indeed, the history of archaeology is strewn with such numerous examples of misread data. The study of historical events is conveyed through many mediums, archaeology, art, culture, texts, film and audio recordings, etc. Some of this data is said to be eye-witness accounts – whilst others tend to be merely opinion at a distance.

Sutton: St Nicholas Church – Interior and History! (10.9.2023)

10/09/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

Since around 1539 CE (and Henry VIII’s Dissolution of the Monasteries) this Church has been ‘Protestant’. This is a large Church built for a substantial Township and can probably hold at least 100 worshippers at any one time. Bear in mind that there used to be a greater number of Churches in the UK per small area than there are today – and that populations used to be far smaller despite virtually everyone professing a faith. Perhaps the ample and impressive size of the Church is linked to it serving a local population with a higher social status and wealth – requiring certain standards as being seen to be kept! As far as we are concerned, archaeological structures retain the data of the past, and by studying these structures we are able to glimpse into that past!

China: 2,000-Year-Old (Qinling) Giant Panda Remains Unearthed! (3.8.2023)

Cao Long, a researcher at the Shaanxi Academy of Archaeology, said that it is not yet possible to conclude that Emperor Wendi or Empress Bo had a special preference for giant pandas. “Based on the current number of subsidiary pits and the identified animal species, it still appears to be a royal garden feature, rather than being specifically buried with giant pandas due to personal preference,” he said.

Besides the giant panda, the remains of other rare animals were found in the burial pits, including tiger, tapir, Indian wild buffalo, oryx, serow, and yak remains, which reflects the belief in the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220) that people will live a life in the underworld similar to when they were alive, according to the report.
