An amazing discovery has been made by a Spanish-Italian archaeological team in Egypt – an ancient reproduction of the mythical Tomb of Osiris, the god of the dead in Egyptian mythology, was found in the necropolis of Sheikh Abd el-Qurna, on the West Bank at Thebes.

The tomb complex is a huge multi-level structure which includes numerous chambers and shafts. It consists of a massive hall hold together by five pillars and has a staircase leading down to the funerary complex adorned with the carvings of Osiris. The funerary room also has the reliefs of demons brandishing knives, which, according to the archeological team, were placed there to guard the body of the deceased.

The tomb is constructed around the emerald statue of the god, which is located in a central vaulted chapel and faces a staircase with a 29.5 foot long shaft cut into it. This shaft leads to another empty chamber, which, in turn, has another, 19.6 feet long shaft connecting to two other rooms. Here is a sketch showing the entire structure of the tomb of Osiris:

The researchers consider that the ancient tomb was built between 760 BC and 525 BC, date corresponding to the period of the rule of the 25th dynasty (760 – 656 BC) and the 26th dynasty (672 – 525 BC). This estimation is mostly based on the architectural similarity of the newly discovered tomb with another funeral complex devoted to Osiris – the so-called Osireion located in the city of Abydos, Luxor.

According to an article written in Luxor Times Magazine, the Osirian symbolism is very clear in this ancient tomb, which contains “a big staircase of 3.5 meter long with a 4 meter high ceiling at the bottom leading to the Netherworld and another one leading directly to the Osiris statue, which is therefore at a higher level and ideally isolated on ‘his island’; the Osiris statue itself; the empty corridor surrounding it which symbolizes the channel of water (see Osireion in Abydos); the expected burial chamber below the statue, thus identifying the deceased with Osiris.

In 1887, the tomb complex was partly discovered by Philippe Virey, but it was unearthed to its full extent only recently. The archaeology team plans to continue the exploration of the timeworn funerary complex at the beginning of 2016.

The Vatican Removed 14 Books From the Bible In 1684 With No Real Explanation

- July 20, 2019

Typically when the Bible is brought up in conversation, what comes to mind is a source of truth that has not been tampered with. However, when this book was originally published it contained 80 books and current editions only have 66, and we have to wonder what exact purpose the removal of 14 books would serve? The Vatican Church or Roman catholic church has been associated with deception for ages. Their atrocities have ranged from genocide many centuries ago against the Cathars to child molestation is more recent years. The Bible was originally translated from Latin into English in 1611. This “original” Bible contained 80 books, including the Apocrypha, which means hidden. These Apocrypha books made up the end of the Old Testament, and included the following books: • 1 Esdras • 2 Esdras • Tobit • Judith • The rest of Esther • The Wisdom of Solomon • Ecclesiasticus • Baruch with the epistle Jeremiah • The Songs of the...

4 African Kings Who Ruled India That Have Been Erased From History

- January 28, 2020

“…The darkest man is here the most highly esteemed and considered better than the others who are not so dark. Let me add that in very truth these people portray and depict their gods and their idols black and their devils white as snow. For they say that God and all the saints are black and the devils are all white. That is why they portray them as I have described.” – Marco Polo,after visiting the Pandyan Kingdom in 1288 More than a thousand years before the foundations of Greece and Rome, proud and industrious Black men and women known as the Dravidian erected a powerful civilization in the Indus Valley. From those origins, African Kings in India drove the region’s commerce, culture, and belief systems. Dr. Clyde Winters, author of Afrocentrism: Myth or Science? writes: “Ethiopians have had very intimate relations with Indians. In fact, in antiquity the Ethiopians ruled much of India. These Ethiopians were called the Naga. It was the Naga who created Sanskrit. ...

Vatican In Shock As 1,500-Year-Old Bible Claims Jesus Wasn’t Crucified

- July 10, 2019

An approximately 1,500-2,000-year-old Bible found in Turkey has left the Vatican in shock because it allegedly confirms that Jesus Christ wasn’t crucified as has come to be widely believed. The Bible, which was discovered in 2000 and kept in secret in Ankara’s Ethnography Museum, contains the gospel of Jesus’ disciple Barnabas. The gospel claims that Christ was neither crucified nor was he God’s son. Instead, it says he was just a prophet. The book also refers to Apostle Paul as “The Impostor” and further claims that Christ ascended back to heaven alive, with Judas Iscariot being crucified in his place. The now controversial book was recovered during an operation in the Mediterranean-area as authorities went against a gang that smuggles antiquities and illegal explosives, says a report by The National Turk. The old book is currently valued at a whopping 40 million Turkish Liras, approximately $28 million. Experts and religious bodies have examined the book an...

The Atlantic Slave Trade in Two Minutes

- July 10, 2019

315 years. 20,528 voyages. Millions of lives. U sually, when we say “American slavery” or the “American slave trade,” we mean the American colonies or, later, the United States. But as we discussed in Episode 2 of Slate ’s History of American Slavery Academy , relative to the entire slave trade, North America was a bit player. From the trade’s beginning in the 16 th century to its conclusion in the 19 th , slave merchants brought the vast majority of enslaved Africans to two places: the Caribbean and Brazil. Of the more than 10 million enslaved Africans to eventually reach the Western Hemisphere, just 388,747—less than 4 percent of the total—came to North America. This was dwarfed by the 1.3 million brought to Spanish Central America, the 4 million brought to British, French, Dutch, and Danish holdings in the Caribbean, and the 4.8 million brought to Brazil. This interactive, designed and built by Slate ’s Andrew Kahn, gives you a sense of t...

The Outstanding Story of Osiris: His Myth, Symbols, and Significance in Ancient Egypt

- July 09, 2019

Osiris, the green-skinned god of the underworld, lord of the afterlife and judge of the dead, is one of the best-known gods from ancient Egypt. His story provided his followers with reassurance for life after death, that the Nile would keep their lands fertile, and was an inspiration for what a king should be. He is the only deity that is referred to in ancient Egyptian writings simply as ‘god’ – a surefire indication Osiris was both powerful and popular. Being considered a good god, Osiris was also credited with teaching humanity agriculture, the arts, religion, laws, and morality. And his followers really enjoyed holding festivals in his honor. Osiris and the Pharaoh Some scholars have suggested that Osiris may have his origins in Lower Egypt as a very ancient king of Busiris . However it seems more likely that he was the local god of Busiris personifying Underworld fertility. Either way, by 2400 BC Osiris’s role and reach had expanded, as he be...

Humans to Gods: Pineal Gland Is The Key To Spiritual Enlightenment

- July 11, 2019

POS Almost every civilization throughout history has referenced the pineal gland as something of irreplaceable significance. It is mentioned, although code like at times, in ancient texts and structures. Even today, everything from modern day religion to movies reference the Pineal Gland and give you hints or suttle suggestions of its miraculous powers. What is the Pineal Gland? Don’t fooled by the casual descriptions given by modern so-called experts in the medical field. They will have you believing that the pineal gland is nothing more then a gland that helps regulate sleep and that ancient civilizations spoke highly of this particular gland out of speculation, not science or a deep understanding of human anatomy. According to Edward Bruce Bynum in Dark Light Consciousness , The pineal gland is light sensitive and earlier in evolution rested closer to the surface of the brain. It is a kind of vestigial eye. Over the eons as evolution has...

The Crushing – Why Shaka Zulu Was Not The Man You Think He Was

- January 27, 2020

When Nandi was pregnant with Shaka Zulu – her first child – she was visited in the night by a Priestess. The prophecy that came from the old, blind woman’s lips would change the course of history. She whispered, “Daughter of Bhebhe. From your womb shall come the first born of the King. And he shall give birth to a mighty nation of blood stained spears and thundering black shields. “ The Prince would soak the soils of South Africa with the blood of a hundred tribes before seizing the throne of the Zulu Kingdom. By the time the armies of England arrived 40 years after his death, even the mention of the name Shaka made the blood of his friends and foes alike run cold. Unlike then, we celebrate Shaka Zulu as a hero of Black history. A statue stands in Glencoe, South Africa as a testament to his greatness. And many in the Conscious community idolize him as the highest ideal of what it means to be a Black man… But was he? Read his story and decide for yours...

Stop Thinking Like A Slave And Start Thinking Like A God With An Abundance Mindset

- May 24, 2021

Many melanated minds in America and around the world suffer from either post traumatic slave syndrome, or extreme ignorance due to lack of education. This is the intentional and collateral damage from the campaigns of religion and systematic white supremacy. Traditionally, melanated people have always had a culture that infused a high sense of self worth into its community members. We like to add personality and dramatic flair to all human activities. We like to decorate ourselves in fine fashions and luxurious jewelry. It is in our nature to want to shine, to be seen, to be recognized and admired. It wasn’t until our civilizations were demolished, our cultures were infiltrated, our ability to be self-sustaining was sabotaged, and our gods turned white that we began to carry on as a subservient peasant amongst those whom lack the mental, physical, and spiritual potential to be our equals. Stop thinking like a slave. The meek will NOT inherent the earth. W...

“The Universe Is Mental”: The Physical World Is A Virtual Reality Projected From The Mind

- April 07, 2021

Here are 10 correspondences that align ancient occult science discovered by melanated minds with the current understandings in the field of quantum physics that prove “The Universe is Mental” and “The Mind is All”. The Principle of Mentalism found in the wisdom of Hermes Trismegistus (known as Thoth in ancient Egypt) demonstrate that “The Universe is MENTAL, The Mind is ALL.” Many repeat this quote, or others like it, without even the slightest notion of what this means, and if it’s really even true. The reality is, ancient melanated minds such as those in Egypt whom mastered the Occult Sciences understood what we now call metaphysics and quantum physics. Meaning they acquired true knowledge of the nature of the physical world and the foundational quantum mental world beneath it. The Principle of Mentalism as found in the Kybalion states, “THE ALL IS MIND; The Universe is Mental.” The Kybalion goes on to expound briefly on the concept of mentalism: “ This Principle embodies the truth t...
