Authenticating Dead Sea Scrolls, Hebrew and Jewish Origins

Genesis 28:   Then the man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome.”

2 Peter 2:4  “God did not spare the angels who sinned but threw them down into Tartarus…” The pit of fallen angels, or demons. The only biblical occurrence of the term Tartarus is 2 Peter where it is forever mistranslated “Hell.”

The oldest complete manuscript written in Hebrew is from the 11th century AD.  The first list of the Old Testament manuscripts in Hebrew, were created by Benjamin Kennicott  (1718–1783) and published by Oxford in two volumes in 1776 and 1780.  260,000 Hebrew manuscripts were discovered in an old synagogue in Cairo, Egypt, 10,000 of which are biblical manuscripts.  Why would manuscripts written in Hebrew be in Egypt?  Egypt was primarily Arabic, Egyptian and Aramaic from what was Mesopotamia.  Hebrew did not yet exist as a word.

Hebrew script is actually the Phoenician alphabet.  Modified sometime around the 6th century AD by scribes.

There was no Hebrew script in ancient history.  It was of the Phoenician period between 1500 and 300 BC.  The Phoenicians were seafaring marauders who continually attacked the peaceful Minoans of Crete – and are believed to ultimately be responsible for the complete demise of Minoans. 

Paleo Hebrew is Canaanite and Aramaic.  Meaning Hebrew did not exist.  The language spoken by Jesus and his disciples was Aramaic.  

DEAD SEA SCROLLS:  the 1st century BCE dating states that the Hebrew version is actually paleo Hebrew or – Aramaic.  Notably in the Paleo-Hebrew Leviticus Scroll. 

When carbon dating parchment scrolls made from animal hides, the sample and extracts for producing a carbon date can vary by hundreds or thousands of years depending upon sample pretreatment.  As a result carbon dating of all parchments in this context is unreliable. 

Ink cannot be dated because it fades and disappears within a relatively short time frame.

In researching ancient history, the terms Hebrew or Jews did not exist.  Ancient history is replete with references to the Akkadian, Syriac, and Mesopotamian languages.  There is no reference to Hebrew as a language or peoples.  There is no mention of Israel or Judah.  The scribes that added these terms are from the 11th thru the 16th centuries. Thus creating a manufactured history.

Aramaic, and Greek are the only languages of the Bible.  Aramaic originated in Syria – not Israel.  The language spread to what is now Iran, Kuwait, Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey.  Israel is not even mentioned.

In 500BC – “So called, Jewish people, wrote and spoke in Aramaic.” It is ‘believed’ these magi were sorcerers possibly from the Essenes.  Genesis 22:20-24, lists twelve Aramean tribes.  The descendants of the Arameans are Christian. Aramaic was the “lingua franca” or the “common language” for the Eastern Mediterranean from roughly 700 BCE to 200 CE. 

This is what The Dead Sea Scrolls look like: 

 

From these fragments – the entirety of the modern Hebrew Bible was created.  The Dead Sea Scrolls were written on parchment made of processed animal hide known as vellum (approximately 85.5–90.5% of the scrolls), papyrus, aka paper  (estimated at 8–13% of the scrolls), and sheets of bronze (copper and tin) composed  approximately 1.5% of the scrolls.  Copper was not used as a writing medium until the 15th and 16th centuries. 

The Scrolls were found in the Qumran Caves in the Jordanian desert and written in Greek and Aramaic.  Various arrowheads were also found in the caves.  Arrowheads cannot be carbon dated.  The fragments of parchment were carbon dated based on the script style.  Why couldn’t they date the hides? 

The ‘mummified remains of one child’ was inside the cave which historians claim dates from 10,500 years ago.  However, bones disintegrate within 10-50 years. 

Ink wasn’t fully developed for parchment until the 13th and 15th centuries AD. 

The Qumran caves were a part of the Hellenistic Greek culture that spanned the entirety of the Mediterranean.  The source for much of the time period is based on Polyblus’, The Histories.  His writings are used as the basis of ancient history for the Greeks and Romans beginning around 264 BC.  The oldest surviving manuscript of The Histories is dated from the 10th and 14th centuries.

The Qumran dynasty and caves were destroyed by the Romans in 68 AD.  It is believed the caves were originally inhabited by the Essenes, a sect of magic/sorcerers who Jesus described as ‘pious simpletons’.  Their existence is based on Pliny The Elder, Flavius and Philo of Alexander.   

The Essenes

Philo was a Greek Egyptian.  All of his original texts are lost.  Pliny The Elder’s texts are written in the 13th century.  Flavius texts – oldest surviving written in 11th century.

It is postulated that the first ‘ink’ was actually made of ash which fades within days or months.   Around the 9th century AD, Iron salts, such as ferrous sulfate (made by treating iron with sulfuric acid), were mixed with tannin from gallnuts (they are protusions that grow on oak trees) and a thickener to make ink. When first put to paper, this ink is bluish-black.  It lasts 3-4 years.

It is interesting to note that Parchment is still the only medium used by traditional religious Jews for Torah Scrolls or tefilin and mezuzahs, and is produced by large companies in Israel today.

The oldest Torah scroll in existence is the Bologna Scroll dated from the 13th century although previous dating put it at the 17th century. 

Today, scientific techniques supposedly date papyrus ( paper) and can be applied to parchment (hides) as well. They do not date the age of the writing but the preparation of the parchment itself.  Dating ‘paper’ is a relatively fictious statement.   But the claim exists. 

Fabricating a papyrus or even a parchment via the ‘preparation method’ is quite possible. 

While it is feasibly possible also to radiocarbon date certain kinds of ink, it is extremely difficult to do due to the fact that they are generally present on the text only in trace amounts.  So how is it possible for these ‘trace amounts’ to be preserved for thousands of years?

It is believed that iron gall ink was used for the Bologna Scroll.  This ink is believed to have been the standard between the 5th and 19th centuries.  The chemicals used to create this ink were not known until the 19th century – 1838 to be exact.  One such chemical ingredient is tannic acid which is used in the US in;  meat, dairy, baked goods, non alcoholic beverages, alcohol, hard candy and animal fat.  In every other country – it is a prohibited carcinogen.

Why do the scientists use the phrase, ‘it is believed’ if they have the scientific processes to ‘know’?  I think this was what Kary Mullis emphasized in his critique of NIH and Fauci.  

 

The Old Testament books of Esdras, book of chronicles and book of Malachi and Nehemiah were believed to be written by Esdras who lived in the 5th century.

In dating books and parchments, there is a common caveat that accompanies every single date – ‘it is believed’.

ANCIENT HISTORY: Pyramids, Dead Sea Scrolls, & Septuagint

With the knowledge that vast portions of history were created between the 12th and 17th centuries, the Pyramids have gained interest once again.   The stones to build Giza weighed between 2.3 and 90 tons each.  Each pyramid weighs roughly 12 billion pounds.   Initially the surface was finished with limestone that would reflect light.  King Tut’s sarcophagus was found in a tomb with jewels and gold, to be his treasures in the after-life.   He and the other Pharaohs were not buried in a pyramid.   So why were the pyramids really built?

There are no hieroglyphics, treasures or mummies in ANY pyramids of Giza.  They are essentially empty with archeologists guessing that the artifacts were all stolen centuries ago.  Or maybe the pyramids were built for a completely different purpose altogether during a time frame that has nothing to do with the mummies of Egyptian Pharoah’s.  

“Khufu’s pyramid also has underground tunnels, but the burial chamber is located in the centre of the structure”.  Why would archaeologists assume a chamber was for burial if no one and nothing was there?

Why are scientists and archeologists bent on creating a narrative about history without literal evidence?  Is it to delude us from Truth – or is it to legitimize their existence?   When reading twitter tweets, lying for various personalities has become normalized.   Every word, every meme is based on lying.  

The medical community is rife;   I visited a dermatologist for a rash.  He spent roughly 30 seconds with me, had never heard of Benadryl and told me there was a new medication he would prescribe that had zero side effects.  That medication was not approved for insurance and would cost $600 per month and upon research had roughly 25 side effects crippling life.  The doctor – LIED.

What makes a person of such scholarly distinction lie?   Why do politicians lie thru every breath?   What makes a person choose evil?

What could be the reason for the delusion?  Perhaps we have more power(s) than we are led to believe.  And the only way to control that power is to frame humans as uneducated and unevolved.  Provide a history that gives rise to a few geniuses – while the rest of humanity is eclipsed and encased in a living sarcophagus.   The lies that shape the majority of our history began sometime in the 12th century AD.

Who would have the Truth?  The Vatican.  The tomb of information.  When fake Catholics, in particular atheist Hollywooders and secular politicians, ask for an appearance before Pope Francis – what is the real point?  Are they given a piece of history?  A piece of wealth?  A piece of bribery? 

“Biblical scholars agree that the first five books of the Hebrew Bible were translated from Biblical Hebrew into Koine Greek by Jews living in the Ptolemaic Kingdom, centered on the large community in Alexandria“.  The Ptolemaic Kingdom reigned in Egypt from 305 to 30 BC ruled by Macedonian Greeks.  It was conquered by Rome and Julius Caesar came to power.  Who were the Romans?  Historians don’t know so they create a narrative – the Romans were the descendants of the Latins and Sabines.  Historically, there is no mention of ‘Jews’, ‘Hebrews’ or even ‘Semites’.

Where is the basis to support the Hebrew Bible translation?  There is none. 

The Dead Sea Scrolls are written in Aramaic, Greek and Hebrew on vellum.  No one knows who wrote them.  Jews claim Flavius Josephus is credited with being a Roman Jew who wrote the historical texts asserting the Jews Revolt, 1st century AD, Antiquities of the Jews, etc…  “Unfortunately, none of his original writings exist today, yet they are considered the chief source of Jewish antiquity”.

The Torah, the first 5 books of the Septuagint, are believed to have been translated in the 4th century BC.  However, the oldest complete Torah is dated from the 12th of 13th century as written on Vellum.  Parchment/Vellum was widely used in Britain for legal documents between the 16th and 20th centuries and continues to be used for documents and art.  It was primarily used to prevent fraud through scraping away print and rewriting.  Prior to this only partially preserved passages on pieces of parchment have survived.     

Testament:  “A discovery made in 2013 is therefore extraordinary. In a cave, 410 miles away from Giza, on a 4,600-year-old papyrus scroll, archaeologists found a written letter or report, referring to a shipload of rocks probably used for Khufu’s pyramid. The papyrus, addressed to Ankh-haf, Khufu’s half-brother, describes the expedition of a 200-man crew to the limestone quarries near Tura, on the eastern shore of the Nile.”

TRUTH:  The oldest surviving ship is dated from around 2500 BC made of wood and grasses.  It was found buried near the Khufu ‘pyramid’ measuring 142 ft by 19 ft.  It is believed that the vessel was simply an afterlife symbol given that it had no rowing or rigging contraptions for river use.  Obviously, it could not accommodate even one 2.5 ton block of limestone.  Not to mention its dating is as of 2100 years later the authenticity of the papyrus scroll is this highly questionabl
