For 2,000 Years They Hunted Treasure. The Real Discovery Changed History For 2,000 years, locals believed these carvings on Mount Alvand were a coded map to buried treasure. They were mocked by history. They should not have been. The panels, carved for Darius the Great and his son Xerxes... around 500 BC, became unreadable once cuneiform literacy died out after Alexander. Legends filled the vacuum, and the site was named Ganjnameh, the Treasure Book. Then in 1839, the French artist Eugène Flandin copied the texts, and Henry Rawlinson used them like a Rosetta stone in cracking the cuneiform script of the Persian kings. That crack helped swing open the whole vault. Behind cuneiform lay Gilgamesh, Hammurabi's laws, the libraries of Babylon and Nineveh, the oldest written civilization on Earth. The map led to treasure after all. The hunters just dug in the wrong dimension.show more

Originating in what is now Iraq before 3200 BC, cuneiform script is, as far as we know, the oldest form of writing in the world. The recording of a spoken language, emerged from earlier recording systems at the end of the 4th Millennium BC. The first written language in Mesopotamia is called Sumerian. Most of early tablets come from the site of Uruk, in southern Mesopotamia, and it may have been here that this form of writing was invented. Cuneiform is one of the oldest forms of writing known. It means "wedge-shaped," because people wrote it using a reed stylus cut to make a wedge-shaped mark on a clay tablet. Letters enclosed in clay envelopes, as well as works of literature, such as the Epic of Gilgamesh have been found. Historical accounts have also come to light, as have huge libraries such as that belonging to Assyrian king, Ashurbanipal. Cuneiform writing was used to record a variety of information such as temple activities, business and trade. Cuneiform was also used to write stories, myths, and personal letters. The latest known example of cuneiform is an astronomical text from 75 CE. During its 3000-year history, cuneiform was used to write around 15 different languages including Sumerian, Akkadian, Babylonian, Assyrian, Elamite, Hittite, Urartian, and Old Persian. First developed by scribes as a book-keeping tool to keep track of bread and beer rations in ancient cities like Uruk (in south east of modern-day Iraq), system soon spread across Middle East and was used continuously for more than 3000 years, up until 1st Century AD. Cuneiform is not a language but a proper way of writing distinct from the alphabet. It doesn't have 'letters' – instead it uses between 600-1000 characters impressed on clay to spell words by dividing them up into syllables, like 'ca-at' for cat, or 'mu-zi-um' for museum. Other signs stood for whole words, like our '£' standing for pound sterling. Two main languages written in cuneiform are Sumerian and Akkadian, although more than a dozen others are recorded, including Hittite, cousin to Latin. Texts were written by pressing a cut, straight reed into slightly moist clay. Characteristic wedge-shaped strokes that make up signs give writing its modern name – cuneiform means 'wedge-shaped' (from Latin cuneus for 'wedge'). The process for writing cuneiform on a clay tablet involved these steps : • Prepare the clay - Start with a damp ball of clay and flatten it into a tablet that's about the size of a hand, with one flat side and one convex side. You can use your fingers to shape the clay, or you can work on a plastic bag on a hard surface. • Impress the symbols - Use a reed stylus with a wedge-shaped tip to press into the wet clay and create the symbols. The symbols can be a combination of lines and wedges. • Dry the tablet - Leave the tablet in the sun to dry, or you can speed up the process by using a fan. Once the clay has reached a thick, goo-like consistency, you can store it in an airtight container. The british museum's department of collection of cuneiform tablets is among the most important in the world. It contains approximately 130,000 texts and fragments and is perhaps the largest collection outside of Iraq. The centerpiece of the collection is the Library of Ashurbanipal, comprising many thousands of the most important tablets ever found. The significance of these tablets was immediately realized by Library’s excavator, Austin Henry Layard, who wrote: "They furnish us with materials for the complete decipherment of the cuneiform character, for restoring the language and history of Assyria, and for inquiring into the customs, sciences, and … literature, of its people." 🎥© art.heology (IG) © British Museum #archaeohistories

The Origin of Documentation: Cuneiform Clay Tablets 📜 Clay tablets with cuneiform script, developed by the Sumerians in Mesopotamia (present-day Southern Iraq) and surviving to the present day, are the most important reference sources for our understanding of the political, social, economic, and religious life of the Sumerian, Akkadian, Assyrian, and Hittite civilizations. Cuneiform script was typically impressed onto a wet clay tablet with a reed stylus. After writing, these tablets were dried or deliberately fired in hot ovens.

Earliest writing we know of dates back to around 3000 BC and was probably invented by Sumerians, living in major cities with centralized economies in what is now southern Iraq. Earliest tablets with written inscriptions represent the work of administrators, perhaps of large temple institutions, recording the allocation of rations or movement and storage of goods. Temple officials needed to keep records of the grain, sheep and cattle entering or leaving their stores and farms and it became impossible to rely on memory. So, an alternative method was required and very earliest texts were pictures of items scribes needed to record (pictographs). During its 3000 year history, cuneiform was used to write around 15 different languages including Sumerian, Akkadian, Babylonian, Assyrian, Elamite, Hittite, Urartian and Old Persian. Writing, recording of a spoken language, emerged from earlier recording systems, 4th Millennium BC. First written language in Mesopotamia is called Sumerian. Most of early tablets come from Uruk, in southern Mesopotamia, and it may have been here that this form of writing was invented. These texts were drawn on damp clay tablets using a pointed tool. It seems scribes realized it was quicker and easier to produce representations of such things as animals, rather than naturalistic impressions of them. They began to draw marks in the clay to make up signs, which were standardized so they could be recognized by many people. From these beginnings, cuneiform signs were put together and developed to represent sounds, so they could be used to record spoken language. Once this was achieved, ideas and concepts could be expressed and communicated in writing. Cuneiform is one of oldest forms of writing known. It means “wedge-shaped,” because people wrote it using a reed stylus cut to make a wedge-shaped mark on a clay tablet. Letters enclosed in clay envelopes, as well as works of literature, such as Epic of Gilgamesh have been found. Historical accounts have also come to light, as have huge libraries such as that belonging to Assyrian king, Ashurbanipal. Department’s collection of cuneiform tablets is among the most important in the world. It contains approx. 130,000 texts and fragments and is perhaps largest collection outside of Iraq. Centerpiece of collection is the Library of Ashurbanipal, comprising many thousands of most important tablets ever found. Significance of these tablets was immediately realized by Library’s excavator, Austin Henry Layard, who wrote : "They furnish us with materials for the complete decipherment of the cuneiform character, for restoring the language and history of Assyria, and for inquiring into the customs, sciences, and . . . literature, of its people." Decipherment of cuneiform began in 18th Century as European scholars searched for proof of the places and events recorded in Bible. Travelers, antiquaries, and some of the earliest archaeologists visited the ancient Near East where they uncovered great cities such as Nineveh. They brought back a range of artifacts, including thousands of clay tablets covered in cuneiform. Scholars began the incredibly difficult job of trying to decipher these strange signs representing languages no-one had heard for thousands of years. Gradually, cuneiform signs representing these different languages were deciphered thanks to work of a number of dedicated people. Confirmation that they had succeeded came in 1857. Royal Asiatic Society sent copies of a newly found clay record of military and hunting achievements of King Tiglath-pileser I to four scholars: Henry Creswicke Rawlinson, Edward Hincks, Julius Oppert, and William H. Fox Talbot. They each worked independently and returned translations that broadly agreed with each other. This was accepted as proof that cuneiform had been successfully deciphered, but there are still elements that we don’t completely understand and study continues. © Trustees of the British Museum #archaeohistories

Earliest writing we know of dates back to around 3000 BC and was probably invented by Sumerians, living in major cities with centralized economies in what is now southern Iraq. Earliest tablets with written inscriptions represent the work of administrators, perhaps of large temple institutions, recording the allocation of rations or movement and storage of goods. Temple officials needed to keep records of the grain, sheep and cattle entering or leaving their stores and farms and it became impossible to rely on memory. So, an alternative method was required and very earliest texts were pictures of items scribes needed to record (pictographs). During its 3000 year history, cuneiform was used to write around 15 different languages including Sumerian, Akkadian, Babylonian, Assyrian, Elamite, Hittite, Urartian and Old Persian. Writing, recording of a spoken language, emerged from earlier recording systems, 4th Millennium BC. First written language in Mesopotamia is called Sumerian. Most of early tablets come from Uruk, in southern Mesopotamia, and it may have been here that this form of writing was invented. These texts were drawn on damp clay tablets using a pointed tool. It seems scribes realized it was quicker and easier to produce representations of such things as animals, rather than naturalistic impressions of them. They began to draw marks in the clay to make up signs, which were standardized so they could be recognized by many people. From these beginnings, cuneiform signs were put together and developed to represent sounds, so they could be used to record spoken language. Once this was achieved, ideas and concepts could be expressed and communicated in writing. Cuneiform is one of oldest forms of writing known. It means “wedge-shaped,” because people wrote it using a reed stylus cut to make a wedge-shaped mark on a clay tablet. Letters enclosed in clay envelopes, as well as works of literature, such as Epic of Gilgamesh have been found. Historical accounts have also come to light, as have huge libraries such as that belonging to Assyrian king, Ashurbanipal.

In the late 1980s, an explorer named Tommy Thompson led a team searching for a legendary shipwreck off the coast of Central America — the S.S. Central America, a ship that sank in 1857 carrying tons of gold from the California Gold Rush. After years of searching in deep ocean waters, his team finally located the wreck nearly two miles below the surface and recovered an incredible treasure of gold coins and bars. But the story didn’t end there. Investors later claimed they were never fully paid, and Thompson disappeared for years before eventually being captured by authorities. What started as one of the greatest underwater treasure discoveries in history eventually turned into a legal battle filled with mystery, missing money, and unanswered questions. What do you think? Did he take the treasure? If you discovered a fortune like this at the bottom of the ocean, what would you do?

WATCH: A historic moment: The Pilgrimage Road recently opened in the City of David, welcoming visitors for the first time in nearly 2,000 years. This stone-paved road once led pilgrims from the Pool of Siloam to the Temple Mount during the three pilgrimage festivals - Passover, Shavuot, and Sukkot. The place was bustling and full of shops during the Second Temple period. For hundreds of years, the site was buried under soil. It has been uncovered stone by stone and now offers a rare opportunity to walk the same path our ancestors walked.

Babylon, a small port town situated on the Euphrates River, grew to become one of the most prosperous cities within Mesopotamia. Today, Babylon is located within modern-day Iraq, roughly 50 miles south of Baghdad. The city originally dates to around 2,000 BC, and over several millennia it has encompassed a blend of artistic, architectural, and cultural achievements under different empires. Babylon has also been the seat of famous and powerful rulers, such as Hammurabi, who is known for having enacted the Code of Hammurabi, and Nebuchadnezzar II, who is credited with building the mythical Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Babylon’s position within the cradle of civilization has also connected it to the larger cultural legacy of the area, including the development of cuneiform and written language. For thousands of years, Babylon has repeatedly popped up in myths and Abrahamic stories as a significant site for history and religion, and its global fame has resulted in it becoming the source of inspiration for countless literary and artistic works. The exploration of Babylon, which the ancient Greeks acknowledged as "the city of cities". Babylon earned its reputation not merely for its size, but for its staggering beauty and architectural marvels, the most famous being the Hanging Gardens, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. These lush, terraced gardens, built by King Nebuchadnezzar II for his homesick wife, showcased an array of exotic plants and trees, teeming with life in a desert landscape. Babylon was also home to the iconic Ishtar Gate, a structure so grand that its blue-glazed bricks and intricate animal reliefs astounded all who passed through. Constructed in 575 BC during Nebuchadnezzar II's reign, this awe-inspiring monument exemplified the grandeur of Babylonian architecture and heralded the city's power and prestige. The city's allure was not just about grand architecture. Babylon was a beacon of knowledge, housing the vast Library of Ashurbanipal, filled with thousands of cuneiform tablets from all corners of the ancient Assyrian Empire. It stood as a testament to the intellectual curiosity and innovative spirit of the Babylonians, who excelled in areas like mathematics and astronomy. The city's scholars even developed one of the first known code of laws, the Code of Hammurabi, that greatly influenced subsequent legal codes. Babylon's influence extended to its economy as well. It was a bustling trade center where merchants from all around flocked to barter their goods. The city was especially known for its textile industry, producing woolen clothing and carpets, dyed in bright colors from plant-based dyes, which were much sought after in the ancient world. However, it was not all splendor and glory. Babylon's history was marked by periods of decay and desolation. Its downfall began with the Persian invasion in 539 BC, and further devastation followed under the reign of Alexander the Great, who sought to rebuild it but died before his plans came to fruition. The once magnificent city gradually crumbled into ruins, sinking beneath the desert sands. Yet, Babylon's legacy lives on, shaping our modern world in ways often overlooked. This mesmerizing city gave us some of the earliest innovations in law, mathematics, astronomy, and literature, setting the foundations for civilization as we know it. So, step into the past, into the bustling streets of ancient Babylon. Marvel at its architectural wonders, immerse yourself in its vibrant marketplace, delve into the rich tapestry of knowledge in its grand library, and walk in the footsteps of the great kings. Come, explore Babylon, and let its story come alive. 🎥© Ancient Facts #archaeohistories

“Atlantis and the Book of Enoch are the same story.” Are these real accounts of our ancient history? “It’s an allegory of the pre-flood world.” “The gods descend to the Earth.” “They divide the Earth into … the empire of the gods.” “They copulate with human women.” “They progenerate demigod offspring who become the kings of their respective kingdoms.” “God incites them to fratricidal war.” “And then … the flood occurs.” Timothy Alberino just broke down a compelling case for why the legend of Atlantis and the Book of Enoch are not just stories. They describe humanity’s real, ancient history. And the “empire of the gods” they described may have ruled over humanity for 1,000 years. Listen to this fascinating case he made with Jesse Michels: “In the Book of Enoch … advanced extraterrestrial beings descended to the Earth and imparted some of the trademarks of civilization [to] mankind.” “It’s not just a biblical narrative that has giant offspring as the product of the union of the gods and women.” “In Greek mythology, Cyclopes were giants.” “There’s Gilgamesh, who was part human, part god.” “He was a giant.” “I think the fact that these beings were giants was strategic so that they could dominate the Earth, usurp the thrones of men.” “Then there was the creation of … the empire of the gods, which could have had a duration of at least 1,000 years or more.” “In the Genesis 5 genealogy … you have under 1,000 years from the descent of the Watchers in the days of Jared to the flood.” “According to the Septuagint … it’s over 1,000 years.” “And this general narrative that you find in the Book of Enoch is illustrated in the story of Atlantis recounted by Plato.” “In the Timaeus and Critias dialogue … Solon is told by the priests of Sais that the Greeks don’t really have any ancient history.” “And that the Greeks only remember one cataclysm, but that there have been many cataclysms in the past.” “The legend of Atlantis … begins with the Greek gods … divvying up the world amongst themselves.” “Poseidon gets the territory of Atlantis.” “He becomes enamored of a human woman named Cleito.” “He takes her to wife and he copulates with her, and gives birth to five sets of male twins.” “Those twins become the kings of Atlantis.” “They go on a war path.” “And they’re just steamrolling everybody—until they encounter the Athenians.” “This is why the priests are telling Solon, you don’t understand how magnificent your antecedents are.” “They were the only ones who could rival the military prowess of the Atlanteans.” “According to the Greek mythology, the kingdom of Athens was founded by a god.” “Like Poseidon established Atlantis.” “So you have these two hybrid kingdoms going to war with each other.” “And then it’s interrupted by a cataclysm.” “This is that cataclysm that Plato is recounting.” “Now take that story of Atlantis … and compare it to … the Book of Enoch.” “It’s the same story.” Timothy Alberino Jesse Michels American Alchemy

Hillary Clinton's search for the body of Gilgamesh and the buried Nephilim and why the U.S. really went to war in Iraq. On Dec 13, 2018, a leak from the FOIA release of State Department emails allegedly confirmed a claim that Hillary Clinton was "Requesting documents pertaining to the resurrection chamber of Gilgamesh, the location of his body and the location of the buried Nephilim." The tomb of Gilgamesh was found by an archeologist by the name of Yorg Fassbinder found using Lidar. It was mentioned all over the media at the time and was going to be opened, live, and answers would hopefully be given about our history from DNA samples. Immediately after in 2003, the U.S. military invades Iraq. The military kicked out the Yorg Fassbinder and his team and quarantined the area. They then brought in trucks, set up an entire military base at the excavation site, dug all throughout the night, and took the tomb and anything else they found. The story completely vanished from the media and was never talked about again. Why was Hillary Clinton so interested in Gilgamesh and the buried Nephilim? What do they know? What did they find out from the DNA samples? And you still question who these people really are and what they believe in. The writing is on the wall.

France betrayed it's Jews. So why do they still call it home? I flew to France to find the Jews of France. And what I found was one of the most complicated stories I've ever found. Today France has the largest Jewish community in Europe. Jews have been in France for 2,000 years. And they have been kicked out of France over and over for 2,000 years. During the French Revolution, France was the first country in the world to give Jews citizenship. So the French Jews were very grateful - they assimilated, changed their names, their language and even built synagogues that looked like churches. But then during The Holocaust, France deported 76,000 French Jews. And yet, after The Holocaust, the French Jews returned. And stayed. When they returned, they continued to do enormous things in France like legalize abortion, end the death penalty and win Nobel Peace Prizes. I asked every French Jew I spoke to: "Given the history in France and the anti semitism today, why do you still stay in France?" And every single person told me the same thing, "This is our home. Why would we leave?" Blue Square Alliance Against Hate

🇬🇧 In a Welsh sea cave 33,000 years ago... 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 A young man was buried by his people with red ochre and grave goods. It is the oldest formal burial ever found in Western Europe. 🇬🇧🇪🇺 Goat's Hole cave sits high in a Welsh sea cliff on the Gower Peninsula. Above the sea, beneath the headland. 33,000 years ago, this coast looked nothing like it does today. The sea was lower. The land was colder. The Bristol Channel was mammoth steppe. But the cave was already there. A young man died. He was around 21 years old. Slender. 🕯️ And his people prepared him. They wrapped him in cured hide. They covered him with red ochre — a pigment they used only for the dead. They placed grave goods beside him. A carved rod of mammoth ivory. Perforated wolf teeth. Periwinkle shells from the shore. They did not bury him quickly. They did not bury him alone. They did not bury him without his things. They buried him with grief. Time passed. The sea rose. The cliff stayed. And the young man slept. In 1823, the Reverend William Buckland of Oxford found the bones. And got everything about them wrong. He decided the bones belonged to a Roman-era prostitute. He called the burial the 🍎Red Lady of Paviland🍎 He was wrong on three counts. The bones were not Roman. They were Paleolithic. The bones were not female. They were male. And the bones were not a prostitute. They were a young man buried by his people with dignity and grief. The people who buried him did not vanish. Their descendants moved across these islands as the climate changed. They became Britons. Their descendants became the British. And the British still bury their dead with care. 🇬🇧 Dignity is one of the oldest things on these islands. And the people who feel it are still here. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ The Red Lady is not a lady. He is our oldest link to the world that made us. This video was made in Britain. So our children inherit what made us. We can't do it without you. 🙏 👉 👈 Be part of us. ☝️🇬🇧 Be Proud Of Us. 🙏🇬🇧

🇬🇧 In a Welsh sea cave 33,000 years ago... 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 A young man was buried by his people with red ochre and grave goods. It is the oldest formal burial ever found in Western Europe. 🇬🇧🇪🇺 Goat's Hole cave sits high in a Welsh sea cliff on the Gower Peninsula. Above the sea, beneath the headland. 33,000 years ago, this coast looked nothing like it does today. The sea was lower. The land was colder. The Bristol Channel was mammoth steppe. But the cave was already there. A young man died. He was around 21 years old. Slender. 🕯️ And his people prepared him. They wrapped him in cured hide. They covered him with red ochre — a pigment they used only for the dead. They placed grave goods beside him. A carved rod of mammoth ivory. Perforated wolf teeth. Periwinkle shells from the shore.

In 1965, the Beatles were the biggest band on the planet; the first act in history to play to sold-out stadiums and arenas throughout the world. Like all great bands, they hand-picked the acts that would open for them. . .and that band was from East L.A.! Let's get into it!

How Kagame's RPF committed the genocide against the Hutu in the province of Ruhengeri in the late 1990s. The Hutu were hunted down, and then they entered a cave to escape. Kagame's army created the smoke by using pili pili/peppers, and sent it into the cave. After that, they sealed the entrance with cement and waited there for three days. They died. In his home area, after that genocide, no man survived, only the new generation! They were also hunted with the help of helicopters. The genocide against the Hutu was carried out by Kagame's RPF, with the help of some Western leaders and multinationals, who wanted them exterminated, to exploit Eastern Congo with little resistance! That's why that genocide was all covered up by the media, and instead, the Hutu were tarnished and hunted like wild animals. This man in the video miraculously survived the genocide in that cave! After that, all their bodies were taken to genocide memorials where Kagame showcased them as Tutsi victims and Hutu victims were tried for killing one million of people including their own families!

Treasure The dolphins are getting Alzheimer's from algae blooms caused by warming waters and toxic runoff and you could see the bloodstains in Sudan from space. The cobalt is mined by children and the music is made by robots and the grownups are wondering where the fireflies went. It is an elephant with an eyepatch and a prosthetic leg. It's a freshly emptied bed in the nursing home. A hand offers you pills to numb the dissonance, but you swat it away and howl naked in the thorns. Somewhere there's an ibis on a piano in a junkyard in the rain. Somewhere else there's a small boy who has just learned the word "treasure". "Look! Buried treasure!" he tells his dad. "No. That's just glass worn smooth by the sea." "Is that treasure?" "No, that's just a shiny candy wrapper shimmering in the sun." "Ooh! THIS is treasure!" "No that's garbage. Put it down." And the boy's vision changes and he no longer sees the treasure in things. He runs to join his dad and they walk together down the shore through a dying world of fading wonder full of worthless beach trash. "He is wrong," you whisper as the blood leaves your body. "There is treasure everywhere." __________________ Reading by Tim Foley:

“Are we the remnants of a cataclysm that every ancient civilization depicts as a Great Flood?” Joe Rogan just went on a mind-bending rant on the pyramids, ancient Sumerian tablets that reveal 200,000 years of forgotten history, and lost technology: “They found a Sumerian cuneiform tablet that shows this list of kings and … some of these kings reigned for like 40,000 years.” “The total timeline of all of them I think is like 200,000+ years—and then there’s the Great Flood.” “After the Great Flood, there’s a very small lifespan, like 50 years.” “But all of the post-flood kings are historically correct.” “Their old versions are really weird … what are you talking about 40,000 years?” “Is it a myth? Was there a different thing here then?” “Are what we are today a very bizarre version of what used to exist?” “And why is that also in the Bible? Why was Noah like 600 years old?” “Are we talking about a very different reality back then?” “If the Great Flood is true, let’s imagine there is a spectacular civilization … in ancient Egypt, they have technology that’s far beyond anything we’ve achieved today … and what they’re really into is making these insane stone structures that defy any modern construction methods.” “How old are those things?”

This was quite unexpected: we were driving around in France's Somme département and suddenly we saw a sign "Chinese cemetery" in the middle of farmland. We went to check it out and it turns out it was a cemetery for 842 Chinese men brought here by the British during WW1 as part of the "Chinese Labour Corps." 150,000 men in total were brought to Europe (the immense majority in France) as part of these Chinese Labour Corps. Those men were working here in farmland and factories and, surprisingly, looking at the dates on the tombstones, most of them died AFTER the war ended, meaning they stayed here during several years after the end of the war. As the sign explains they were kept in a camp garded by the British and only had the right to leave the camp by groups guarded by a British officer, so much so that the locals considered them prisoners. My wife told me they had learned about this history at school in China but I personally learned about it just today. I had no idea so many Chinese labourers were brought to France and I certainly wouldn't have expected they were still toiling in camps after the war ended.
