Those in power usually are the ones writing history. Who's to say they have not written it to suit their own agenda or ego? Take the recent Russian and Georgian conflict. Some say Georgia started it while the other side said Russia started it. Anyone following that event knows who really started it but yet who will write the history of it? Because we live in the modern era it's much harder to rewrite history as one sees fit but in the past it would have been much easier.

While maternal heredity is a common practice within Egyptian society correct me if I'm wrong I thought the Hebrew people were patriarchal.
The essence of a Jew is his Jewish soul, his Jewish identity. This is inherited from the mother. His tribe, a revelation or projection, the way his Judaism is practiced and actualized, is begotten from the father.

I think this makes the whole theory slightly easier to understand? Not that I am going along with some of the things like Mary, mother of Jesus, being just the childminder? I am not sure on that one as she is depicted everywhere. It is a brave theory saying Cleopatra was Jesus mother. The other thing not right in my feeling is Jesus marrying his sister Selene? i don't think that is right. The Magdalene was not related. That is why, going by your theory of the tribes being present in the last supper painting, she is there.

The answer to the first fruit riddle? Why have riddles? If you have something to say, say it.
I have my own belief on Adam and Eve and the snake etc which may not be yours. I am interested to hear yours.
Perhaps you are refering to being Adam in a previous life? Is that it?

Coincidental??????? Any thoughts...? Help ME out here. There are many MANY more "coincidences" in the NT/OT story.
Snippet from article.... "Any time we captured a town, I had to make a human sacrifice. They bring to me a living child that I slaughter and take the heart off to eat it." He did not know how many people they killed, he said. "But for what I did, it is not less than twenty thousands," he added, breaking down in tears. The hall, which earlier had rung to shouts of outrage at his account, fell silent. The turning point for him came in 1996, he said. "A lady offered me her child for my sacrifice. After cutting up the child I divided the heart among my boys and myself. "The blood of the child was still on my hand when Jesus appeared to me and asked me to stop being a slave."
Oscar Kiss Maerth (born 1914 "in what was then Hungary but is now [1974] Yugoslavia") is the author of The Beginning Was the End (1971), a pseudo-scientific book written in a Chinese monastery that claimed modern man devolved from a species of brain-eating apes. According to Maerth, this diet increased the apes' brain size, sex drive, aggression, psychic ability, and eventually caused insanity.
