Romans Were All Dominant and Crushed the Zionists with Ease!

Masada: Roman Siege Ended in Just ‘2-Weeks’ – Not ‘3-Years’ – Debunking Zionist Propaganda! (14.9.2024)

Until recently, popular narrative suggested that the Roman army found it very difficult to take the Masada fortress, standing as a symbol of Jewish heroism in modern Israel.

For many years, it was assumed that this siege, one of the final moments of the First Jewish-Roman War, took nearly three years, but researchers have begun to challenge this belief.

Previous studies provide insights into the quantity of earth and stones a Roman soldier could move in a single day.

There are also records that about 6,000-8,000 soldiers participated in the siege of Masada.

Using this information, scientists could calculate how long it took them to build the entire siege system which included eight camps and a stone wall surrounding most of the site.

“We found that construction took merely about two weeks,” Hai Ashkenazi, another author of the study, said.

“Based on the ancient historical testimony it is clear that once the assault ramp was completed, the Romans launched a brutal attack, ultimately capturing the fortress within a few weeks at the most. This leads us to the conclusion that the entire siege of Masada lasted no more than several weeks,” Dr Ashkenazi said.

King Arthur May Well Have Been a Historical Personage!

Glastonbury Abbey – King Arthur’s Grave! (29.7.2024)

The Celtic Church (from Egypt) was probably in Britain from the 2nd century CE onwards – with it being destroyed by the incoming Roman Catholic Church by the 11th century CE. Its monastic nature encouraged not only cloistered monks who lived in draughty stone cells – but also Hermits who lived in natural caves or various other meditation cells. Celtic Christianity did not persecute – but encouraged and accommodated the Pagan beliefs of indigenous people. There was a mutual respect between both groups of believers and this explains why leaders like King Arthur would strive to protect the Church – and the Church to honour him in death. This type of Asiatic respect does not require a slavish attachment to belief to be functional. Freedom of belief equates to respect for difference. There are many theories dating King Arthur from the 6th, 7th and 8th centuries, etc, which include many geographical areas associated with his life and death. We favour Tintagel in Cornwall – a place we have visited many times. King Arthur was a wise man, a compassionate man, and a great warrior!

Museum Artefacts in St Albans!

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.

China: J-20 Fighter Jets to Escort Y-20 Returning Chinese People’s Volunteer Martyrs Home From South Korea! (23.11.2023)

Making 2023 the 10th consecutive year that the remains of the Chinese People’s Volunteers (CPV) martyrs have been returned from South Korea, 25 more martyrs and their possessions will be repatriated to China this week by Y-20 large transport aircraft escorted by J-20 stealth fighter jets. Representatives from the Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan regions will be invited to attend this year’s burial ceremony, aiming to further strengthen patriotic education and foster a sense of national unity.

The Chinese Air Force’s Y-20 took off on Tuesday to pick up the 10th batch of national heroes who fought bravely in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea (1950-53).

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.
