THE STELE OF MESHA: FAKE NEWS?

“Now Mesha, king of Moab, who raised sheep, used to pay the king of Israel as tribute a hundred thousand lambs and the wool of a hundred thousand rams. But when Ahab died, the king of Moab had rebelled against the king of Israel.”

(II Kings 3:4-5)

The stele of Mesha, also known as the Moabite stone is considered to be one of the firsts extra-Biblical references to Israel in ancient history. It is the longest-ever epigraphic inscription found in the region of Israel and Jordan, it is the first Canaanite inscription found in Palestine (dated around 840 B.C.). The top-rounded black basalt stone was discovered intact in 1868 by a German missionary named Frederick Augustus Klein, it is currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris. The monument is in the form of upright stone slab or pillar inscribed in Phoenician characters, an early form of Hebrew. It measures 3 feet tall and 2 feet wide, 34 lines are legible. The Moabite stone discovered in Dhiban is of unique historical importance because it records the military victories of Mesha, king of Moab, against the firmly established kingdom of Israel. King Mesha, son of Khemosh-yatti, king of Moab, from Dibon, threw off the yoke of the son of Humri, king of Israel, who planned to humble Moab like his predecessor. Ultimately, Mesha defeated Israel on many fronts and seized and reclaimed several cities, he killed its inhabitants. From a Biblical standpoint Moab and Israel had an extensive history of conflict, with control of certain regions shifting back and forth over the years. The authoritative full edition of the inscription mentions “Humri” (Omri) the king of israel, the name of Yhwh, supreme deity of Israel and Judah, plus the house of David (or altar of David), an indirect reference to the kingdom of Judah. The remarkable stele of Mesha is physical evidence demonstrating the Hebrew Bible as a reliable historical document. Israel’s military campaign against the Moabite king Mesha is mentioned in Chapter 3 of the 2nd book of Kings (II Kings 3:4-27).

“I am Mesha, the son of Kemosh-Yatti, the king of Moab, from Dibon. My father was king over Moab for thirty years, and I was king after my father. And in Karchoh I made this high place for Kemosh…because he has delivered me from all kings, and because he has made me look down on all my enemies.”

EVIDENCE OF THE BIBLE’S AUTHENTICITY?

It is important to understand that the translation of the memorial inscription is based on the surviving remains of the original artifact. The stele of king Mesha was found intact by the Anglican missionary F.A. Klein in Dhiban in 1868. There is another version of the story that says that he didn’t actually discover it, he purchased it from some Arab man. Either in 1868 or in 1869 a local Arab hired by a French archeologist named Charles Simon Clermont-Ganneau made a squeeze, a paper-mache of the inscription. He placed the wet paper sheet over the stone and pressing onto the incisions created the letters. But while the paper was drying some folks snatched and tore it in pieces. Soon after that a group of incensed Bedouins stole the black basalt stone and destroyed it. The relic was smashed into fragments in an act of defiance against the Ottoman authorities who wished to give the piece to Germany. By divine providence, slowly and painstakingly, persistent Charles Simon Clemont- Ganneau (and other researchers) managed to locate and purchase most of the fragments. The entire stone was re-constructed, pieced together. The monument sits safely at the Louvre Museum in Paris. Could it be possible that the famous Moabite stone is a forgery? Yes, a forgery designed to connect the Biblical narrative to the ancient world! The authoritative full edition of the inscription is a fraud, 100 % Hollywood.

IF THE BIBLE SAYS IS TRUE IT HAS TO BE TRUE.

‘Omri was the king of Israel, and he oppressed Moab for many days, for Kemosh was angry with his land. And his son succeeded him, and he also said, “I will oppress Moab!” In my days he said so, but I looked down on him and on his house, and Israel has gone to ruin; it has perished forever.”

It is essential to understand that the Bible is not the unquestionable word of God and that the modern day Israelis are not God’s chosen people, there’s nothing supernatural about their lineages (they’re all descended from proselytes one way or another). It is crucial to comprehend that outside of the Bible, the only authentic archaeological piece that mentions “Israel” (Isrila/Sirila) is the Kurkh monolith of Shalmanaser III, son of Ashurnasirpal II, king of Assyria. The artifact discovered in Uctepe/Turkey mentions a defeated king in Syria named “Ahabu Sirila”, a Syro-Phoenician in the area of the Golan heights (or the Valley of Jezreel). Ahabu Sirila has been identified as the Biblical Ahab, a king in Israel that reigned in Samaria and made alliances with the Sidonians (I Kings 16:29-31). The victory stele of the 19th dynasty pharaoh Merneptah does not mention Israel either, it speaks of a people-group named “Isrir”, a direct reference to the followers of the heretic-phraoh Akhenaton who were forced to quit Egypt and settle in Canaan. The loyalists of Akhenaton made a deal with the local Hittite citizens of Hebron and buried their king in the heart of Hebron (in the Cave of Machpelah). The black limestone known as “The black obelisk of Shalmanaser III” does mention “Humri” (Omri), it mentions a tribute bearer named “Yaua the son of Humri”, a king in the Levant (Phoenicia or Northern Israel). This means that the well-established facts about the Moabite stone are not as factual as we might think, the stele of Mesha is fake. The Syro-Phoenician king named Yaua the son of Humri was an ethnic Hurrian, the Hurru were a people associated with Anatolia, Syria, and parts of Mesopotamia. The fake stele of Mesha mentions of the holy vessels of Yahweh which he supposedly dragged before his Moabite God Kemosh. The monotheistic Jews who lived in Roman-occupied Palestine referred to their chief deity as “YHWH”, Yahweh is the same as Jove, equivalent to Set, Baal, Enlil, Zeus, and Jupiter. The ancient Sumerian poem known as “The epic of Gilgamesh” recorded in the Akkadian language speaks of an ogre-demon named “Huwawa” (or Humbaba). The giant Huwawa was subservient to Enlil, he was the guardian of the forests of Lebanon that were sacred to Enlil. The region of Syria, Lebanon, and northern Israel has been known as “The land of Yaa” since the days of the ancient Egyptian pharaoh Amenemhet I (12 dynasty).

“In the thirty-first year of Asa, king of Judah, Omri became king; he reigned over Israel twelve years, the first six of them in Tirzah.”

(I Kings 16:23)

ALEXANDER III THE GREAT: THE HISTORICAL KING DAVID.

We have also been told that the stele of king Mesha of Moab contains a clear reference to king David, the god-like ruler of Judah and Israel who struck fear on Israel’s adversaries (David is descended from a Moabitess named Ruth). A portion of the damaged memorial inscription , rendered partially unreadable, mentions “The House of David” or “The altar of David” (Bt Dwd). This is hard-to-digest information but the fact of the matter is that the Biblical David is fictitious personage built on the fragments of somebody else’s life. The sages who wrote the 1st and the 2nd book of Samuel, and the 1st book of Kings created David based on the iconic-historical figure of Alexander III the Great, king of Macedonia and Master of Asia (7/20/356-6/10/323 B.C.E). Alexander was the son of Philip II of Macedon and queen Olympias, he is by far the greatest conquistador of all time. On his panhellenic campaign from mainland Greece, Alexander spanned across Anatolia, Syria, Phoenicia, Samaria, Gaza, Egypt, Mesopotamia, Persia, Afghanistan, and India. So we see, David the son of Jesse never existed. What exactly is the “House of David” mentioned in the Moabite stone? A lie!

CONCLUSIONS.

There is no doubt that the controversial stele of Mesha is a forgery designed to validate and legitimize the Old Testament. Plain and simple: The black basalt stone is a motherfucking fraud! We’ve been lied to…

“Archaeological forgery is the manufacture of supposedly ancient items that are sold in the antiquities market and may even end up in the collections of museums.”

(www.wikipedia.org)

The granite pedestal known as “The Berlin Pedestal” is considered to be one of the first extra-Biblical references to Israel in ancient Egyptian history, equal or older than the hieroglyphic inscription of the Merneptah stele (1205 B.C.E.). The gray granite slab fragment (The Berlin Pedestal) was acquired by an Egyptologist named Ludwig Borchardt in 1913, it is now housed in the Egyptian Museum of Berlin (No. 21687). The statue Pedestal relief is believed to have been the base of a statue, it describes Egypt’s war victories. A sizable amount of imagery is preserved, three bound-kneeling captives with shoulder length hair, pointed beards, and headbands are depicted in it. It is clear that the prisoners are Asiatic Semites, Middle Easterners of Caucasian extract. Each prisoner has a corresponding cartouche or oval name ring labeling his country of origin in Egyptian hieroglyphic script. The name ring on the left says “Ashkelon”, the name ring in the middle says “Canaan”, and the name ring on the far right, which is badly damaged, says “Israel” (supposedly). The cartouche containing what some call an archaic form of Israel is cut off on the edge of the right side, making its identification difficult.

Some scholars and theorists have speculated that it does not say “Israel” but “Isrir” (Isi-R-Iar). This is highly significant because “Isrir” translates as “Those exiled because of their sins”, a direct reference to the followers of the heretic pharaoh Akhenaton who were forced to quit Egypt in the days of Horemheb (18 dynasty). The loyalist of Egypt’s first and only monotheistic pharaoh (Akhenaton) were considered to be treacherous criminals that could not be forgiven, lepers. The reformer Akhenaton had turned Egypt upside down with his cult of the sun disk Aten, he rejected Amun, the principal state god of his forefathers. Akhenaton’s long-corrupt practices had teared the fabric of Egyptian society. So, his loyalists settled in the land of Canaan. These ethnic Egyptians carried with them the mummy of the repudiated Akhenaton, they made a deal with the local Hittite citizens of Hebron and buried him there. So, pharaoh Akhenaton, son of Amenhotep III, was interred in the heart of the city of Hebron in what is today the Tomb of the Jewish patriarchs, the Cave of Machpelah (in the West Bank). The Biblical Abraham of Chaldea is not buried there, it is Amenhotep IV/Akhenaton who is buried there.

Back to the Berlin Pedestal, it is a bizarre coincidence that the artifact was not discovered in situ like the Merneptah stele, it was purchased from a merchant in an antiquities market. This means that the authenticity of the piece is doubtful (to say the least). The cartouche on the far right that supposedly mentions Israel is the one that is partially broken off, the one with the disputed translation. Perhaps the Berlin Pedestal is a partial forgery? Some archeologists have speculated that the artifact was constructed during the 18 dynasty, some believe the names were inscribed on it at a later period (19 dynasty). Could it be possible that the powers that be manipulated the Berlin Pedestal to validate and legitimize the Ashkenazi State of Israel in Syria-Palestine?

The mythical ancestors of the Israelis are the Hyksos of Avaris who solidified their rule in Lower Egypt during the 15 and 16 dynasties, they were defeated by pharaoh Ahmose I and were were expelled from Egypt (Ahmose I is the founder of the 18 dynasty). The vanquished Hikau-Khoswet settled in Sharuhen near Beersheva in southern Palestine, then they traveled up to northern Syria (to the Jezreel Valley). There is nothing supernatural about the lineages of the modern day Israelis, the Ioudaioi are the distorted echo of something that once was. Their real history doesn’t really begin until after the death of Alexander III the Great, king of Macedonia and Master of Asia (7/20/356-6/10/323 B.C.E.). The political constitution of Am Israel, the holy Torah, was created-manufactured by Ptolemy I Soter, founder of a Macedonian dynasty in Egypt. Ptolemy I, son of Lagus and Arsinoe, ruled from 305 B.C.E. to the time of his death in 283/282 B.C.E. The Hebrew Bible, the Tanach was completed in the days of Ptolemy II Philadelphus (284-246 B.C.E.).

We have been conditioned to believe that the heretic pharaoh Akhenaton was buried in an uninscribed-undecorated tomb in the Valley of the Kings in Thebes, Egypt. In 1907 the British archeologist Edward R. Ayrton discovered the burial site that ended up being known as tomb KV 55. Since the tomb has been connected with the royal family of El-Amarna, the powers that be concluded that the badly decayed mummy found in tomb KV 55 could be the one of the hated Akhenaton. Dr. Zahi Hawass, archeologist and former minister of state of antiquities affairs knows very well that Akhenaton is buried under the Ibrahimi mosque in Hebron/al-Khalil (in the volatile territory of the West Bank).

Conclusions: The archaeological piece known as the Berlin Pedestal which is stored in the Egyptian Museum of Berlin is of doubtful authenticity. Is it a forgery? Maybe, maybe not.

Warning: The book of Exodus was composed in the days of Ptolemy I Soter, the founder of a Macedonian dynasty in Egypt. The Hebrew Bible was completed in the days of Ptolemy II Philadelphus (284-246 B.C.E.).

THE FAMOUS VICTORY STELE OF PHARAOH MERNEPTAH.

“The Israelites set out from Rameses for Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot not counting the children. A crowd of mixed ancestry also went up with them, besides their livestock, very numerous flocks and herds.”

(Exodus 12:37-38)

The victory stele of pharaoh Merneptah, also known as the Israel stele, is considered to be the first undisputed extra-Biblical reference to Israel in ancient Egyptian history. The black granite slab was discovered by the renowned British archaeologist Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie at Thebes, Egypt in 1896. The stone monument is now housed in the Egyptian Museum of Cairo. The artifact glorifies pharaoh Merneptah’s victory over the Libyans and their Sea People allies, it also describes a separate military campaign in Syria-Palestine. The stele is of unique historical importance because the 19th dynasty ruler boasts of having conquered several Canaanite city-states, among them “Israel.”

Israel is recorded not as a firmly established city but as a people-group. The text written in Egyptian hieroglyphics states that pharaoh had defeated ‘Wesquar’ (Ashkelon), seized ‘Qadjar’ (Gezer), and made ‘Yanoam’ (southern Syria) non-existent. Near the bottom of the hieroglyphic inscription it says:

“Israel is laid waste, bare of seed.”

This implies that the entity known as Israel must have been considerable in size and strong enough for Merneptah to even mention them, they represented a challenge. There’s a problem here, if we analyze and scrutinize the hieroglyphs we will see that it says “Isrir” (Isi-R-Iar), not “Israel” (Jezreel) with an ‘L’ at the end. This is highly significant, this means that the powers that be manipulated the translation to validate and legitimize the existence of the modern day Ashkenazi State of Israel (founded in May 14, 1948). The well-established facts related to the origin of the people of Israel in Canaan are not as factual as we may think. Who exactly is this people-group called “Isrir”? “Isrir” or “Isi-R-Iar” translates as ‘Those exiled because of their sins’, this is a direct reference to the followers of the heretic-pharaoh of the 18th dynasty Akhenaton, founder of the Aten religion. The religious zealot Akhenaton (Amenhotep IV) turned Egypt upside-down with his monotheism of the Aten solar disk, he outlawed polytheism and moved the capital from Thebes (Lower Egypt) to Amarna (Middle Egypt). His long-corrupt practices teared the fabric of Egyptian society. After his death his name was removed from all official king lists and his temples were destroyed. The Egyptian priests of Amun despised Akhenaton with such a passion that they labeled him as “The enemy.” The loyalists of the reformer Akhenaton were seen as treacherous criminals that could not be forgiven, criminals, lepers. Therefore, this group of ethnic Egyptians of mixed ancestry were forced to quit Egypt for Canaan probably in the days of pharaoh Horemheb (1319-1292 B.C.E.). They literally were exiled because of their sins.

(The mummy of Pharaoh Akhenaton is buried in the Tomb of the Jewish patriarchs in Hebron, in the West Bank [Cave of Machpelah]. The followers of the reformer Akhenaton made a deal with the Hittites and buried him in Hebron. It is not Abraham/Ibrahim who is buried there, it’s Akhenaton)

What does this all mean in practical terms? It means that the famous stele of the 19th dynasty pharaoh Merneptah does not mention “Israel” (with an ending ‘L’), it says “Isrir” (with an ending ‘R’). The followers of the hated pharaoh Akhenaton were ethnic Egyptians with brown and black skin, not Asiatic-Semites like the Apiru-Habiru who invaded Jerusalem in the days of Abdi-Khepa (the ruler of Jerusalem in the days of Akhenaton). Is it possible that some of the followers of Akhenaton were Caucasians or of Caucasian origin? Absolutely. Merneptah’s father, Ramsses II the Great was descended from the Hyksos of Avaris, his mummy has reddish hair. Pharaoh Ramsses II, son of Seti I, is buried in tomb KV 7 in the Valley of the Kings in Thebes.

(Detail from the Merneptah stele: Isrir [Isi-R-iar] in Egyptian hieroglyphics. The hieroglyphic sign for the letter ‘L’ is a crouching lion and it is absent here)

Conclusions: The “Isrir” mentioned in the victory stele of pharaoh Merneptah refers to ethnic Egyptians who were exiled in the days of Horemheb. They were not light-skinned and blue-eyed like the modern day Israelis, they were a people of color. It is safe to say that “Those exiled because of their sins” looked like the former Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser, not like the first Israeli Prime Minister David Ben Gurion.

Thanks to the Old Testament we have been programmed to believe that there was one exodus but this is a false construct, there were two exoduses. The first exodus is the exodus of the Hyksos of Avaris who were expelled from Egypt in the days of pharaoh Ahmose I, founder of the 18th dynasty (before Amenhotep IV/Akhenaton). The second exodus is the exodus of the loyalists of Akhenaton who abandoned Egypt in the days of Horemheb (18th dynasty, before Merneptah). In other words: The Biblical Hebrews who left Egypt in masse for Syria-Palestine are the despised Hyksos who expelled by Ahmose I, son of Sequenenre Ta’o II (1550-1525 B.C.E.). The Hyksos solidified their rule in Avaris beneath Tanis in the Nile delta, near Pi-Rameses in Lower Egypt during the XV and XVI dynasties. They were invaders from the north, barbarians. Their divine patron was Sutekh-Baal, some say they were Syro-Phoenicians, Mittani, Hurrians, or Scythians. The rulers of foreign lands were a federation of more than one ethnic group but they were primarily a Semitic people. After their decisive defeat by Ahmose I, the Hikau-Khoswet settled in Sharuhen near Beersheva in southern Palestine, then they traveled up to northern Syria. The ancient Hyksos resembled the modern day Israeli-Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jews, they were Caucasians.

(Pharaoh Merneptah, son of Ramsses II ruled from 1213 to 1203 B.C.E., he is buried in tomb KV 8 in the Valley of the Kings in Thebes, Egypt. The victory stele of Merneptah is an inscription on the reverse side of a stele originally erected by pharaoh Amenhotep III, father of Akhenaton)
