Listened to your brilliant interview with Jason the other day. I am so glad he introduced you to us. I have listened to a few of your videos now and I am absolutely enjoying it all. Very exciting channel. You have here. You are brilliant.
@Kempy. This is a serious theological forum open to all faiths,denominations and birthplaces. However, please be mindful that it's being chaired by Scousers (see above)the last holy tribe in this godforsaken land. Received English is also frowned upon.
Specifically. What did I say that is wrong? Give us an example that you wish to contend. Trouble with you nay-sayers, is you do not know the texts and history that you so fervently believe in. R
@@RalphEllis its not that you said anything wrong, I honestly don't mind what you believe in and its your RUclips channel and you're free to post whatever you like, I just think a lot of people are gonna hate on the video cos it doesn't match their beliefs. I personally am an atheist don't believe in anything that you or anyone in the comments says. Just keep doing you.
The Sacred Sun Swastika Symbols that Hitler tried to Taint and Defile - have been found Worldwide. That seems to be a sign, that Jesus the Son/Sun of God - visited Many Nations. Though North Korea leaders, like China's leaders - would have hid that from their people. Like many Leaders hide, the Pyramid's found within their countries. To include China planting trees around them. That only make them, all the more obvious to notice.
Its hard to understand the low nature and aggressive commentary encountered here. But mr Ellis never lowers himself in rising to it. Sign of a gentleman. No doubt.
Just got acquainted with Ralph Ellis and I must say how interesting and thought provoking!!!! Yesterday watched the Israelites/ Egyptians talk and it was fascinating and sounded perfectly logical and based on fact and reasonable thinking unlike alot of the idiotic comments here by some people!! Thanks Ralph!
Mr. Ellis, you truly are a remarkable man. To have dedicated most of your life to all this fantastic research the writing of your books, creating your video lectures and having the guts to believe in your mission and stick with it is no easy feat! I feel so fortunate to have come across your work, thank you for the Truth!
I forgot people like this exist in England. He has to pay to be seen. Clicked on it and it's just as insane as it looks. He sounds like Carl of Swindon. So sure about nothing.
It's funny watching an older guy, in a suit, with a rich British accent, with a serious face talking utter bollocks about a man who nothing is known about and nothing in his lifetime was written about.
The whole point of the research is that there WAS a historical Jesus. But not one you would ever have been told about. And thanks for the compliments..... R
@@RalphEllis The scholarly consensus is that an actual man existed, preached and was executed. Nothing was written by anyone who knew him and the extra biblical evidence in the first hundred years after his death fits on a side of A4 with room for pictures, merely recounting what his cultists believed. Your ramblings are nothing more than attention seeking streams of pattern recognition. It is a tragedy you've wasted your life on it.
You only think this, because you have been seduced by the Catholic disinformation that he was a pauper carpenter. However, if you take the gospels literally, that he was a real King of the Jews, the picture changes dramatically. Suddenly, the historical King Jesus is redly visible in the historical record - a real king with a real realm.... R
Not unnoticed by Rome, but deliberately concealed by Rome. Jesus was the leader of the Jewish Revolt, just as the Talmud (and Josephus) say, but Rome did not want anyone glorifying the leader of a revolt against Rome - so they distanced and deleted him from those events. R
Britannia was a Roman province at that time, and it was the furthest you could get from Judaea. The perfect place to house dangerous rebels from Judaea. And at just this very time, Emperor Vespasian built the largest fortress in the Roman Empire, at Fortress Dewa (Chester). And it is clear that Dewa was built as a vast Guantanamo Bay, for holding exiled prisoners.... R
The current extent of England conforms very closely with the extent of Roman Britain, so describes the geography very well (otherwise people will ask why Jesus was not incarcerated in Prestwick). And the description dovetails very well with Blake’s hymn ‘Jerusalem’, at the end of the lecture. R
@@RalphEllis No. I've a First Class MA from a five hundred year old university. Your upload is neither new nor catchy. I'm here to make informed comment.
Not new? Who else has given evidence that captives from the Jewish Revolt were incarcerated in Fortress Dewa? Bet your 500 year old university never had the erudition to discover that aspect of secular-biblical history. R
Completely compelling. Nothing less than what I expect from Ralph. It’s just a shame followers of the Abrahamic religions spend their whole lives believing the mythologies that have come to be associated with this undulating story.
Appears the energy bestowed upon that ground continues on today. Shine Bright! Sir Ralph Ellis! The Truth always survives to resurface again! It is an honor to have your work confirm that I/ We are upon the path of the Golden Thread! Shine Bright! MWM
Jesus lived just off Park Road, Liverpool. That's why the area is known as the Holy Land. He was crucified near the river Mersey, facing Birkenhead. Before death he asked his dad to put a curse on Birkenhead, and God answered his son.
jaye see just off Park Road, by the newsagents on the corner. It is said, 'and the Jesus of Nazareth did say, I shall liveth on the corner by the agent of news.. thy shall sell their bars of Mars and Kit Kats alongside the scriptures of the NewsDay' (Luke 12 Vs 9)
jaye see baptised in saint Pats by upper parly actually lived in 33 Moses street and then moved to greaty and then on to Everton park sadly he got lost at the temple for a few years but happily found at Paddy's Wigwam xx still alive apparently God bless lid lad !!
Very interesting and comprehensive thank you once again; I am increasingly fascinated by the reverence shown by later classicists and poets for Berenice, the daughter of Marcus Julius Agrippa I and herself a ruler of Judaea, and sister of Marcus Julius Agrippa II; she was a Jewish Princess who had tried to prevent the armed clashes on the Jewish wars from 66 onwards, I first noted the story when I studied Racine's play about her and the tragic love story with Titus; there seems to be something in how it reflects what happened to Cleopatra and Mark Antony, and also Vespasian, who in order to progress along the cursus honorum, had sacrificed his relationship with the woman whom he loved ( Antonia Caenis). What was new to me is that she was a friend of Isas-Jesus-Manu of Edessa (being part Jewish like him) - but of course instead favoured the Flavian cause. Vespasian was a kind of "alter-ego" of the predestined king of kings and he prevented the relationship between Titus and Berenice, yet these two took their place in history as star-crossed lovers and I am unsure why. It's also amazing how the identity of Isas-Jesus-Manu has been occluded not only from official history but also from the romantic works of medieval and classical literature since surely his relationship with his sister-wife Mary the Magdalene is equally fascinating. Other than in the mysterious Grail cycle story (and whatever was discovered and hidden in the Crusades that we still don't know) this amazing truth of a real king and leader who was turned into the saviour of mankind, but was in reality exiled to Chester (and his sister escaped to Orange) - who knows if they ever met again as related in the Arthurian tales as Arthur and Guinevere - or whether there is another layer of symbolism there in the Tales, such as when she is ushered in to the Knights as the "Grail" bearer. Would you be able to state if Berenice and Mary Magdalene were historically connected or met, or if Mary's escape was in any way orchestrated by this woman?
And rumoured to have been the sister-wife of Agrippa ll. And if King Izas-Jesus was Jesus if Gamala, as I say (because both led the Jewish Revolt) - then yes, he would have been close to Agrippa and Berenike. Josephus said that they ransomed Jesus, after he had been captured by pro-Roman forces. R
Oh, I am sure that Berenike would have met Mary Magdalene. According to the Talmud, Mary was the richest woman in Judaea, and would have owned a palace in Jerusalem (the palace of Queen Helena). And according to the Golden Legend she owned quite a few castles around the Levant. I am certain that these aristocrats would have shared a goblet of wine at many socio-political functions. R
The videos are complementary to his impressive books, I encourage people to read them..... I wonder how the Monty Python guys got so close with their film ideas
Let's debunk this in a way that cannot be refuted Jesus absolutely 100% could not have set in England for one indisputable reason . England did not exist until long after the fall of the Roman empire .Long after the time of Jesus
The Roman province of Britain corresponds much better with the region of modern England, than it does with modern Britain. And this is important, because Chester is at the extremes of modern England, but not of modern Britain (which is why the Roman fortress was constructed there). And it makes for a better title too, because it resonates much closer to William Blakes’s hymn Jerusalem. See the end of the talk....! R
Most people don’t realise that Jesus was just stealing the work of Darth Plagus, through the teachings of the Chancellor. And Anakin was the chosen one, not Jesus. Jesus was born in Bespin too, but no one wants to talk about that either.
Actually, it was vice-versa. Star Wars was created as a modern equivalent if the Jewish Revolt. Thus the evil Galactic Empire was the ‘evil’ Roman Empire, while the plucky Jedi rebels were the plucky Judi rebels (the Essene Nazarenes - the Church of Jesus). Take a look at the fortress of Jedha, which is an exact copy of the Judi fortress of Massada. Which is interesting, because in Judaic history the traitor who joined the Empire (ie: Darth Vader) and became a great leader of theirs, was Josephus Flavius. Ralph
I could ask my brother, Brian. He might have been on the dig or know someone who was. He specialised in Roman Britain as an archaeologist. Then carried on his work in Italy, where he still lives.
It looks like I have upset some religious cabaI, who have decided to troll this video en-mass. But do note that none if them can say what they disagree with, because all of this comes from real history. They are disliking the video with emotion, not rationality. I await any reasoned discourse...!! Ralph.
I find it so funny that people find the idea of Santa being real to be ridiculous and yet they believe in a omnipresent noncoporial being that made everything
Just Metonymy and no substantial evidence. We can go far as you want claiming that even Bar Jesus was from Mars or the so-called Jesus had a crow because he was actually a king. All rubbish!
Ralph Ellis. I won’t read your book. You are a crackpot. Nothing you said made a reasonable point. You are clueless and clutching at straws to try and be relevant. You aren’t.
Vespasian WROTE the gospels, via Josephus Flavius. There are numerous similarities between the gospels and the works of Josephus. That is why theologians say that the gospels had some decades of oral tradition, and were finally written in the AD70s - because so much of their material comes from Josephus. The truth is that the gospels relate AD 60s events, during the Jewish Revolt. Jesus was the leader of that Revolt, as the Talmud makes clear (the Talmud blames Jesus for the destruction of the Temple.). And this chronicle (both religious and secular) was recounted and recorded by Josephus Flavius. R
Jesus-Izas Monobazus was a mighty king of Edessa. He was a big threat to Titus. Jesus-Izas grandma was daughter of Cleopatra. He was rich. He was famous and a mighty leader of the Jewish rebels. He had a huge lojal crowd of his people (Babylon-jews) and the last pease he needed to be a emperor of Rom... was Jerusalem. His mother queen Helena was really famous. His father was king of Edessa and a prisoner in Rom before he died. Jesus-Izas had a twinbrother and 12 brothers. So Josephus stopped him and helped Titus.
Fantastic and eye opening. In a strange parallel to the Indian epic Ramayana, I feel like this prison fortress in Chester in the middle of the forest parallels the Asoka vana where Sita was imprisoned by Raavana. Note the following points which suggest that the second half of the Ramayana (war) is abstract imagery around the usurpation of Rome by the Flavians and subsequent fall of Rome 1. The play titus andronicus shows a magical deer hunt and an episode in which Titus' sister has her tongue chopped off. Magical deer hunt and a similar incident occur in the Ramayana 2. Who was Sita that was abducted and imprisoned by Raavana? I speculate that these are the Delphic Oracles that Vespasian needed to imprison because he lacked legitimacy as a ruler. There are also episodes in Ramayana in which the Raavana character attempts to feed human flesh (tastily cooked) to Sita (this is paralleled in Titus Andronicus) 3. Who was Raavana? The crucial evidence of the Romano gypsies is important there. Why did the gypsies migrate out of India around the turn of the millenium and in such large numbers. Now it is understood that Gypsies arrived in Europe much earlier than thought around 400AD. Clearly they were responding to some sort of cataclysmic event that was considered important to unearth by the ruling dynasties of India. When the gypsies arrived, the capital of Rome had already shifted to Ravenna, hence the character Ravana (mispelling of Ravenna) is conflated to be the guy who did the abduction (but in fact it was the flavians who did it centuries ago). This was an early era in which information flow took lots of time and bards were likely to make these errors 4. All of this shows that the character Jesus-Christ who was crucified was of great importance to the Indians and I believe this specific character who fought, was captured and crucified is modeled in the Abhimanyu character of a later epic the Mahabharata 5. Carrying this speculation further, the prisoner in the English prison was probably not Jesus (who was dead by then and of no political value to Vespasian) but the Oracles whose prophecies he needed to hide from the Roman public
That same eastern star, or conjoining of Jupiter and Saturn will happen this year, but not in any day, the 21st of dec this year, or the winter solstice or Christmas(off by 4 days to the shortest day of the year
Yes, but the people themselves were stars. All these monarchs were incarnations of one god or another, and the Mary's were incarnations of Isis-Venus. So they were seen as the 'star' themselves. R
@@RalphEllis very trun. But wasn’t the zodiac clock hidden knowledge? I’d there a possibility that Rome was the only group who didn’t know what the zodiac was all about? Would that be a reason why Rome crack it and burnt and destroyed all knowledge relating to it? Also rome and the church was obsessed with a flat earth but I believe zodiac worshipers knew the earth was round. Plus the Romans changed the calendar and added emperors etc. was Rome jellous of not getting this info? Even red dye, location of England was all kept from Rome. Then out of rage they tried to destroy all traces of this knowledge. The Iberian semetics would have known the world was round, especially if they did make it to South America then told Columbus where to go
Yes, and we know that Rome did not understand the precessional zodiac, because their Mithraic zodiac was a full Great Month (1,800 years) out of date. R
Jesus commission was purely to witness to the lost house of Israel before his impalement and death, all of which was written down in prophecy and fulfilled to the letter. As he said on the torture stake "It has been accomplished". And it had. End of.
Hello Ralph. I really enjoy your writing. I have all of your books in The King Jesus Trilogy and The Egyptian Exodus series. I love them all and find them very thought provoking and meticulously researched. I was especially intrigued by your book "King Jesus" and your postulation regarding Saul/Paul of Tarsus and Josephus Flavius being one and the same person. All of your research into comparing the lives of Paul and Josephus is remarkable and hard to believe that anyone cannot see the impossibility of these being sheer coincidence! Are you familiar with a book by Joseph Atwill, called "Caesar's Messiah"? It is very interesting and I wonder what you think about the premise of this book? His theory is that the 3 Flavian Emperors along with Josephus created what you refer to as simple Christianity as a way to force the Jews to worship the Flavians as their God, without their direct knowledge or understanding. Also to end the militant messiah tradition and replace it with a messiah of love and peace (turn the other cheek), and give unto Caesar that which is Caesar's. To accomplish this Atwill theorizes that they created the gospels using the technique of typology, which is used throughout Judaic literature. It is a complicated theory to explain, but basically creates a common timeline and set of events which mirror each other and creates confusion by using the same names over and over or by using different names for the same person. Such as your theory about Josephus and Saul/Paul. I would love to hear what you think about this theory and could it possibly fold into your research?
There is a video out there, with myself and Atwill - interesting discussion. The reason you will not find another analysis between Josephus and Saul, is they are petrified of this conflation - because it destroys the entire classical biblical narrative. It demonstrates that Christianity is a Roman invention, and that Jesus was alive in the AD60s.
@@RalphEllis I totally understand. You are very courageous to even write in detail about this incredibly important subject. I was brought up Lutheran and since I was old enough to research the history of Christianity and religions in general, I have been intensely inquisitive and read everything I could regarding the subject. I have always felt the New Testament was far too jumbled and confusing to follow. Also intrigued by the language changes over time, which would obviously allow for mistranslations and agenda driven changes to occur. I will definitely check out the video interview between you and Atwill. I am honored to be able to converse with you via YT and thank you very much for responding so quickly. Will you be writing any new books in the near future. You may feel that you have covered everything about these subjects, but I thirst for more and would buy anything you put out. Thank you for being there and enduring all of the closed minded academia types. They are the same people who believed in the flat earth, earth centered universe theory, and denied Viking presence in North America until the proof hit them right in the face. Some doors have to be broken down instead of opened with a key! Be well and keep up the good fight.
The language mistranslations were often used deliberately, to obscure the character’s true names. Simple things like Simon being called by his title, Peter or Kephas. Or turning the Greek Mono-Bassilius (King Manu) into Monobazus. Or turning the Persio-Parthian name Izas into Jesus. R
@@RalphEllis I am totally on board. It makes so much sense that it really explains all of the name confusion. The area was totally mixed up between Greek, Aramaic, Hebrew, and Persian. Loved your explanation. Unfortunately it takes someone who is interested enough to follow this wordplay and most people are too mired in their dogmatic indoctrination and too closed minded to take the time to follow the changes. It seems to be for "those with eyes to see and ears to hear". Are there any historical mysteries left for you to uncover or has it run it's course?
The Talmud is 90% wordplay - deliberately so they could talk about Jesus and others without being stoned to death. A classic is Bar Kamza, meaning Locust, which is a reference to Jesus. See my video on the Huqoq mosaic, where the dumbo archaeologists totally (and deliberately) misidentified this mosaic for profit (for a fat fee from Nat Geographic). It is actually a depiction of Bar Kamza (Jesus), but they had absolutely no idea who he was. R
That is the point of the books - discovering if he was real or not. Start from the beginning, with Cleopatra to Christ, and enjoy the research and evidence. R
No we do have proof he was real, there are plenty of Roman letters between generals and senators about ‘what they should do about a Jewish guy called Jesus cus ppl think he’s the messiah’. The question isn’t ‘was Jesus real anymore’ it’s more were the stories ppl said about him real
Hey Ralph!Jesus Christ in Welsh is spelled Iesu Grist.In both Pythagorean and Chaldean numerolology Iesu Grist =1, do you think this means anything or just a coincidence?
I like it. Yesu was the bloodline of Joseph - JOSEPH who was beaten up by his brothers and sold as a slave. Into Egypt where he married Pottimas (?) Daughter - Priestess of Isis. and by their Sons EPHRIM and MANASSEH The Bloodline of Iesous The Christ. Arisen from Death. The Shroud of Turin PROCLAIMS IT. much Respect to The Man who survived that evil torture and LIVED ! HE HEALED MANY HE STOOD UP TO BULLSHIT HE CALLED IT OUT. We Should TOO ! We Should All SAVE THE CHILDREN
To me it is very interesting to note the word Brit-Ish in Hebrew means Covenant Man brit= covenant And Ish= Man. Could their be a missing link to the truth of the exile to England in the Word British and the place of a New and Better Covenant given to Jesus?
James Sikes.... Great point! - Brit = Covenant & Ish = Covenant. I had noticed that Gloucestershire sounds similar to - Glow - Jester - Spire. Glow = Illumination - Jester = Fool, Joke(r) - Spire = The Towering Pyramidal Symbols on Churches, representing Jesus and Mary Magdalene. With Dursley sounding like Dur = Foolish or Stupid Action & Sley = Slay. And that it's a Foolish or Stupid Action to Slay someone from that area.
@@miemartine2216 Thank you MiE for comment. Something for you to investigate if interested in the Jesus figure of the Bible who was born 2 B.C. and died 99 A.D. I'am convinced Apollonius of Tyanna is the Jesus figure from which the New Testament writings are centered. Apollonius was also the true Apostle Paul who brought Christianity to Rome in 57 A.D. and was imprisoned and after released traveled to India and the far East spreading the Good news of the Gospel of Grace through Faith Alone to all of Man kind. If you chose to do so please let me know your conclusion. Peach and Blessing to you.
I made a serious effort to actually watch this but I couldn't... you should seriously think about setting up a plan to give watchers their neurons back.
@@RalphEllis No way. I'm not talking about the price of YOUR neurons, grandpa. I watched 7 minutes of your garbage, suppose I lost a neuron a minute... at $10000 per neuron, you owe me 70K.
Ok. This is increadibly interesting. There is no doubt that most of his life is missing from history, both before and after his ministry. The entirety of islam believes he diddnt die on the cross but was taken down early.. thats a lot of belief. This is the first lecture i have listened to but so far it seems entirely plausible that after jesus crucifiction he was sent to or traveled to what is now great britain.
The temple is also similar in shape as those at Gobekli Tepe, Sanlurfa. A connection to much earlier forefathers, perhaps? Thank you for your research, Mr Ellis. Much appreciated, as always 🙏 💜
Yes, because these different temples may have the same function, they may all be based upon the zodiac. I’ve written an article on my Facebook site which analyses Gobekli Tepi as being circles of the zodiac which is an interesting analysis. See Facebook “ralph.ellis.144”. R
@RalphEllis Thank you for your reply! The twin t-shaped pillars make me wonder if Gobekli Tepe could be the great age of Gemini? 6480 bce, or 26,000 years earlier. Also Mr Ellis, will you be giving any in-person talks in the UK this year? Kind regards, and thank you for your thought provoking ideas 🙏
The Jesus of the Bible changed my life, this is why I would never change my mind about The Lord Jesus Christ, really can't watch any more of this, total wast of time
@@RalphEllis You have no idea what believers in Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth have ... you can only guess what believers have. As well. One cannot understand what is in the Holy Bible unless they are in a proper relationship with Lord Jesus. It all starts with proper water-baptism in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins per Acts 2: v38
@@RalphEllis Ralph Ellis on the day of the White Throne Judgement pleading with Lord Jesus: "Oh no, how will I live without you? Oh, woe is me, Oh woe is me." Lord Jesus replies to Ralph Ellis: "Oh get lost." It's all fun and games, Ralph. Till the angels are ordered to bind you hand and foot, and cast you into outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. In case you don't know, Hebrew language didn't have a similar word for: frustration. So they combined sadness with anger, ergo frustration for your eternal-future. Lord have mercy. Repent and be properly water-baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins per Acts 2: v38
According to the Bible Jesus was visited by a group of non Jewish ('magi") Persian priests (who travelled into enemy territory, Persia being Rome's enemy and Judea being a Roman province at the time) upon his birth to give him three boxes full of the two most expensive products in the world and a box full of gold. Later he was sent to Egypt for an education (Egypt being the center of the world's learning at that time) which would of been available only to those considered rich because education was not free but then he came back only to work on building sites as a craftsman (tekton in the original), something he could of learnt as an apprentice without going anywhere yet he is called a Rabbi something that would of meant religious education and to earn respect Rabbi's were expected to marry and have children (to be considered worldly just as Catholic priests aren't given respect on issues of marriage nowadays), and despite the wealth given to him at birth and his status at work as a craftsman not just a day labourer and status as a Rabbi he was said to be practically penniless, this makes no sense logically, historically, practically or in any other way, the Bible is hiding something or telling just outright lies, there are just too many contradictions in my comment alone.
Dear sir, after reading all your books there is only one question I would ask: the Golden Legend says that Joseph of Arimathea took the Grail to France. Does this mean that Saulo-Josephus went to that country with Marie Magdalene or she went there with Josephus' older brother that was a Galli?
Difficult to say, as the Golden Legend is not exactly real history Remembering that Joseph of Arimathaea was Josephus Flavius, and this Grail was probably Mary Mag, then yes, Josephus may have gone to France. He may have escorted them there, or he may have been spying for Rome on the activities of the Grail women. But I think he would have gone back to Judaea, as he was the de-facto governor of the region. R
So this agrees with what the Muslims and Gnostics think happened to Jesus? Except in this case, he survives being crucified and is sent to exile in Britain instead of being substituted then raptured to Heaven?
Well if Jerusalem is all about the cornerstone like Bethlehem is to bread and you plough your mind on why the meaning of coin in Latin relates to the cornerstone I'm sure you can put your head to the truth behind prophet and profits relationship!
I have watched many of your videos and find your insights very interesting. I am curious as to what your take is on the biblical teachings of Jesus. It would seem strange that the teachings of peace and love (e.g., love your enemies, turn the other cheek, the Golden Rule) would hardly be the teachings of a warrior king. Do you see these teachings as (1) rules set forth by Jesus to solely govern conduct within Edessa, (2) teachings by Jesus after his defeat and his exile to England, (3) a mockery of a defeated warrior by the Roman church, or (4) something else?
Think he says that turning Christianity into a peaceful religion is Roman propaganda penned by Josephus. Christianity is a creation of Josephus / Saul / Paul to serve as a form of Judaism that the Romans can stomach. Especially on part on paying your dues to Caesar. No surprise why Christianity is seen as representative of Western civilisation. Notice how similar Ellis's interpretation is to what the Muslims think happened to Jesus whom they call Isa. Very similar to the Persian title Jesus had had of Izas. Quite possible that the Muslims got that from Gnostic Christians who fled to Persia. What I want to know is Ellis's take on the resurrection. Is the risen from the dead in 3 days another allusion to astrology?
@@cecaloather8701 Thank you for the clarification. My understanding of Ellis' theory about the resurrection was that Jesus was a Freemason and it was the 3rd degree Masonic rite ritual. However, I did see one of his videos where he showed a mural of the zodiac found in a Jewish temple; but I don't remember if he associated it astrotheology.
Yes, the conversion of this story from Revolt i to Peace and Love was pure Roman propaganda. They wanted a Rome-friendly religion and that is what they crafted. The Epistles even say you must do as your appointed secular leaders demand (and pay your Roman taxes). This was perfect for Rome. R
I have a real problem believing this Jesus survived the crucification for several reasons. One is that Rome would have wanted him dead. Now I realize that not everyone put on the “cross” was nailed to it but if you are going assume that the Bible are more of less accurate accounts, even if misinterpreted and deliberately placed after the events occurred, then you should be consistent and assume this Jesus was killed.
Also I think the arguments for allowing him to live are weak and go against tradition. Is it possible that you trying to “resurrect” this Jesus to fit your narrative?
Josephus Flavius says that the leader of the Jewish Revolt survived his crucifixion (because Josephus took him down early, much as the gospels say). I have no reason to disbelieve Josephus’ report. The Church will not equate this to the biblical Jesus, because it means that Jesus was a warrior king fighting against the Romans. R
Ralph is not assuming "that the Bible are more of less accurate accounts", They are like propaganda writing of 1 political party today. The source material usually is accurate but the interpretation and the conclusions are distorted in the favor of the political party agenda. If you do not know the source material you won't be able to distinguish the source material from the lies. The gospels never say that Jesus died, but they say that Jesus died and revived which fits Josephus narrative(the source material). About the "Rome would have wanted him dead" part, is quite easy. Rome already defeated Jesus, Jesus was not a threat to Rome, but his bloodline in Adessa was a possible civil war in the near future. Adessa was under the protection of Parthia so they could not get to them. Any roman aristocrat that was ambitious enough could support a member of that family and bring out of exile. Thus Jesus was worth more alive as a hostage than dead.
Some people find it challenging to their faith - either to a religious faith or a historical faith. You will find the latter is as strong among historians, as it is within any religious group. They just cannot stand seeing their favourite historical framework pulled apart, piece by piece.... See my video on the Huqoq mosaic, where the archaeologists and historians did not have a clue, but got really defensive when it was pointed out they were completely wrong. R
Ralph Ellis right because of all people, biblical historians, and contemporary historians you are the voice of reason to discover and explore these things - thats some nice self-validation for you isn’t it ;)
Yup. But it also happens to be true. Scientists and historians have to stay within academic structures and supposed truths, or lose their jobs and careers. Look at what happened to Prof David Bellamy and Prof Peter Ridd when they went outside the orthodoxy - they were both sacked. R
It would be an embarrassment to the Church. But that begs the question as to what burial practice would have been observed, and whether any burial goods would have been allowed. I rather than the Romans would have preferred an unmarked grave. R
@@RalphEllis i mean that if they found a grave and a body there with name address ect would there be a God Jesus anymore.?Wouldnt it all collapse? Everyone is looking for a tumb nobody for a bead body.
@@LuisSuarez14690 Considering what the romans did to the tombs of the Adessan kings after they sacked Adessa, doubt they would leave a tomb in England, but you never know.
I’m a little confused on a few things, you mention Vespasian plagiarising the gospels in 70ad or thereabouts but the gospels weren’t written at that time. Also you say Josephus is St Paul but Josephus disposed magicians etc so why would he then invent one? In this particular video I feel the circumstantial evidence is being stretch Ed to the limit but otherwise I do agree with your Jesus of Odessa theory. Love your knowledge on the ancients
No, I don't say that. I said that Vespasian ordered Josephus Flavius to write the gospels, which is why all theologians say the gospels were written in the early AD 70s (they contain lots of AD 70s material, and lots of material from Josephus). St Paul (Saul) was not a Magus. The great Magus of the gospels was Simon Magus, who was probably Simon Boethus. St Peter tried to better Simon Magus as the great debate in Caesaria, and St Paul (Saul) was allied with St Peter. R
The lands of England were established by the Angles, who arrived with the Saxons in the 6th and 7th centuries. England was named after the Angles, even if that did not become a formal title for many centuries. I could have referred to Britannia in the title, but most Americans know this region as England, not Britannia. The title has to resonate with viewers. Ralph
Ralph Ellis What you just stated is the most unhistorical claim I've heard in a long time. Infact, no major historian... athiest or Christian would agree with your claims.
Why is it unhistorical.? Josephus says the leaders of the (failed) Jewish Revolt were exiled, initially to Rome. But the archaeology of Fortress Dewa in ‘England’ strongly suggests it was built on the orders of Emperor Vespasian to be a vast 1st century Guantanamo Bay, housing dangerous rebels from the East. Now that is compelling circumstantial, and historical, evidence, that the leaders of the Revolt ended up in ‘England’. R
Exiled to England ? Where in scripture does that originate ? The story is he was born in Bethlehem Ephratah . 29 years before his baptism . Died 3 1/2 years later . Resurrected before his assention . Leaving behind his apostles . Who in turn never mentioned any Exile . Leave it like that please ?
Ralph, I think the reason the like/dislike ratio is so bad on this video is simply because it appears that you made this video an ad, resulting in a lot of new comers that don't have context to understand what your saying and what brought you to this conclusion.
Exquisite work and so much research, original research, thank you so much for sharing this and I can't wait to read the books and take notes and compare them with the Bible story.
Jesus of Nazareth is an invented person who never existed. Christianity itself is invented in the period of renaissance beginning from the 16th century in what we call now France , the land of Gauls where the the Gaulish god Esus was worshiped, hence Jesus=Esus.
I don’t believe in landscape zodiacs, as you can put anything in them. And King Arthur (whether classical or revised) had NOTHING to do with Glastonbury, that was a later claim by the priests and monks to generate cash. The Vulgate cycle never mentions Glastonbury. Ralph
@@RalphEllis but by your research you postulate that Zodiacs were a Jewish custom, how would England (whether the landscapes are credible or not- by you) adopt such traditions if not by culture exchanges with Jews? It might not have necessarily been King Arthur, whom you affixed to King Jesus but influence from them.
@@edm5166 Because the zodiacs are not specifically Jewish, as they were in usage as far back as Summer in the least. The Hebrew/Egyptian correlation isn't the only one to have germinated across Europe, as variations on the theme had circulated throughout. Mr Ellis has shown examples of zodiacs that were Jewish specific, but again, zodiacs themselves are not specifically Jewish. I hope that what I mentioned helped out and didn't sound condescending, because that is the last thing I was attempting.
Wow! A lot of triggeredin the comments section. Instead of just voting down the video how come you guys won't and don't come up with any counter arguments?
They never do. The M.O. of the Liberal Left is denigration, and owning the language ('you cannot say that'). They never have any facts, logic or reason. R
1. If the Romans didn't want someone around - they killed them. They certainly didn't go to the cost of building a special Jewish Prison, with it's own Jewish 'facilitites' so they'd 'feel at home'. 2. If they were going to build a prison in the UK - the inmates would be mainly Brits. So if they were going to do something culturally relevant to the prisoners - it would be Celtic. Not Jewish. 2. If they were worried about martyrs - removing to the other side of the Empire would have had much the same effect. You killed him. No we didn't - he's in this place youve never heard of, in a land far far away.... Yeah, right. 3. Why this prison/ Fort? You must first check all such facilitites in the Roman empire in all countries - and rule them out first. You haven't done this. You have drawn a bow upon a bow upon a bow upon an assumption that hangs in the air with zero evidence to support it. This isn't history. It would even make the likes of Dan Brown blush....
Your argument does not accord with politics, nor history. 1. Why did Britain send Napoleon into exile, instead of killing him? Because the latter would have been politically insensitive - as Napoleon still had many supporters in France, which the British had to administer. Same with Jesus, who had powerful allies in the Near East. Indeed, Vespasian's ‘daughter-in-law’ (Berenice) was a supporter of King Izas-Jesus, and would have been upset by his execution. So Jesus in exile could be used to quell the Near East - disarm and abide by the Pax Romana, or we kill your king.... 2. I have no doubt that letters were sent to Edessa from Dewa by the prisoners, confirming that King Jesus-Izas was still alive. Indeed, I reproduce a letter from a Roman prisoner in my books, that appears to discuss the Jewish Revolt - was this letter from Dewa? Likewise, aristocrats from Edessa were probably allowed to travel to Dewa, to see how their king was being treated. 3. This is no different to the treatment of Rudolf Hess, who was kept in splendid isolation for decades, simply because nobody wanted to be held responsible for his death. And remember that King Izas-Jesus was supposed to have been semi-divine. Who was going to test his divinity by killing him? Ralph
@@RalphEllis firstly - you are the one making the claim, not me. Im simply not buying the claim. Second - to compare Roman Europe with Napoleonic times is to suggest you're not actually a historian. Who exactly did Rome have to be 'sensitive' to ? Where as By early 19th C - Europe was a complex series of diplomatic alliances. These are two massively different scenarios. The fact that you make such a comparison tells me all I need to know about the quality of your mind. Jesus had powerful allies in the East? Lol. Where were these in his fight with Rome? And you miss the point. To remove him to where you suggest they did would have the same effect as if they'd killed him. There would have been no quick way of proving he was still alive. Letters are easily forged and would be assumed as such. Rome at that time had no one to fear or 'answer to' in a diplomatic sense. Later perhaps - but not then. "Was this letter from Dewa"? I don;t know. Got any actual evidence that it wasn;t sent from any one of a hundred other forts/ prisons? What you have is a letter that discusses the revolt (possibly). It proves not a single aspect of your specific claim. 3. Again Hess is a false comparison. Hess was held in accordance with new international law on the treatment of prisoners, tried and found guilty - and then sentenced to life imprisonment. The Romans had no international community to keep happy. To quote Joanne Ball in her paper on the treatment of captured Combatants on the Roman world "There is no evidence for a recognised 'prisoner of war' status in the Roman world. Unlike later periods, there was no provision to imprison captured combatants until the end of the conflict, nor any guidelines for how they should be treated between capture and their ultimate fate".
You obviously do not understand the political situation in the Roman east. Rome had been at war with Parthia for a century, and the Edessans had been tolerated and used as a buffer-state between the two for all of that time. (The Edessan monarchs were exiles from Parthia, led by Queen Thea Muse Ourania.). And all was well, until Rome tried to tax Edessa. The traditional ploy of Edessa had always been to play one super-power against the other, so if Rome got belligerent, Edessa leaned towards Parthia. And vice versa. There was a real threat that if Rome was too harsh on Edessa (killing their king), then Parthia may come to their assistance - perhaps even invade Edessa, which Rome considered to be theirs. This is all spelled out by Josephus, Moses of Chorene, and by Arthurian Legend, which contains vast chunks of 1st century Near Eastern history. (The primary hero of the Arthurian story was Joseph of Arimathaea, and much of the story is verifiable history). Ralph

The whole point of the research is that there WAS a historical Jesus.
But not one you would ever have been told about.
And thanks for the compliments.....
R
@@RalphEllis The scholarly consensus is that an actual man existed, preached and was executed. Nothing was written by anyone who knew him and the extra biblical evidence in the first hundred years after his death fits on a side of A4 with room for pictures, merely recounting what his cultists believed.
Your ramblings are nothing more than attention seeking streams of pattern recognition. It is a tragedy you've wasted your life on it.
You only think this, because you have been seduced by the Catholic disinformation that he was a pauper carpenter. However, if you take the gospels literally, that he was a real King of the Jews, the picture changes dramatically. Suddenly, the historical King Jesus is redly visible in the historical record - a real king with a real realm....
R
@@RalphEllis completely unnoticed by Rome. Or anyone else. Sorry Ralph. You've wasted your life, but I hope it's kept you entertained.
Not unnoticed by Rome, but deliberately concealed by Rome. Jesus was the leader of the Jewish Revolt, just as the Talmud (and Josephus) say, but Rome did not want anyone glorifying the leader of a revolt against Rome - so they distanced and deleted him from those events.
R
So he was exiled to a country that wasn’t to exist for another thousand years? Interesting.
Jesus agreed to disagree

Britannia was a Roman province at that time, and it was the furthest you could get from Judaea. The perfect place to house dangerous rebels from Judaea. And at just this very time, Emperor Vespasian built the largest fortress in the Roman Empire, at Fortress Dewa (Chester). And it is clear that Dewa was built as a vast Guantanamo Bay, for holding exiled prisoners....
R
Ralph Ellis and yet there’s nothing to be seen in the New Testament or any of the gospels about this foreign incarceration of Jesus. How so?
Aight. Ima buy England and make it a tourist attraction.
Breaking News: there was no England then. The Angles and Saxons didn't arrive until the Romans left hundreds of years after Christ. You're welcome.
The current extent of England conforms very closely with the extent of Roman Britain, so describes the geography very well (otherwise people will ask why Jesus was not incarcerated in Prestwick). And the description dovetails very well with Blake’s hymn ‘Jerusalem’, at the end of the lecture.

Very interesting and comprehensive thank you once again; I am increasingly fascinated by the reverence shown by later classicists and poets for Berenice, the daughter of Marcus Julius Agrippa I and herself a ruler of Judaea, and sister of Marcus Julius Agrippa II; she was a Jewish Princess who had tried to prevent the armed clashes on the Jewish wars from 66 onwards, I first noted the story when I studied Racine's play about her and the tragic love story with Titus; there seems to be something in how it reflects what happened to Cleopatra and Mark Antony, and also Vespasian, who in order to progress along the cursus honorum, had sacrificed his relationship with the woman whom he loved ( Antonia Caenis). What was new to me is that she was a friend of Isas-Jesus-Manu of Edessa (being part Jewish like him) - but of course instead favoured the Flavian cause. Vespasian was a kind of "alter-ego" of the predestined king of kings and he prevented the relationship between Titus and Berenice, yet these two took their place in history as star-crossed lovers and I am unsure why. It's also amazing how the identity of Isas-Jesus-Manu has been occluded not only from official history but also from the romantic works of medieval and classical literature since surely his relationship with his sister-wife Mary the Magdalene is equally fascinating. Other than in the mysterious Grail cycle story (and whatever was discovered and hidden in the Crusades that we still don't know) this amazing truth of a real king and leader who was turned into the saviour of mankind, but was in reality exiled to Chester (and his sister escaped to Orange) - who knows if they ever met again as related in the Arthurian tales as Arthur and Guinevere - or whether there is another layer of symbolism there in the Tales, such as when she is ushered in to the Knights as the "Grail" bearer. Would you be able to state if Berenice and Mary Magdalene were historically connected or met, or if Mary's escape was in any way orchestrated by this woman?
And rumoured to have been the sister-wife of Agrippa ll.
And if King Izas-Jesus was Jesus if Gamala, as I say (because both led the Jewish Revolt) - then yes, he would have been close to Agrippa and Berenike. Josephus said that they ransomed Jesus, after he had been captured by pro-Roman forces.
R
Oh, I am sure that Berenike would have met Mary Magdalene. According to the Talmud, Mary was the richest woman in Judaea, and would have owned a palace in Jerusalem (the palace of Queen Helena). And according to the Golden Legend she owned quite a few castles around the Levant. I am certain that these aristocrats would have shared a goblet of wine at many socio-political functions.
R

Let's debunk this in a way that cannot be refuted
Jesus absolutely 100% could not have set in England for one indisputable reason .
England did not exist until long after the fall of the Roman empire .Long after the time of Jesus
The Roman province of Britain corresponds much better with the region of modern England, than it does with modern Britain. And this is important, because Chester is at the extremes of modern England, but not of modern Britain (which is why the Roman fortress was constructed there).
And it makes for a better title too, because it resonates much closer to William Blakes’s hymn Jerusalem. See the end of the talk....!

Most people don’t realise that Jesus was just stealing the work of Darth Plagus, through the teachings of the Chancellor. And Anakin was the chosen one, not Jesus. Jesus was born in Bespin too, but no one wants to talk about that either.
Actually, it was vice-versa. Star Wars was created as a modern equivalent if the Jewish Revolt. Thus the evil Galactic Empire was the ‘evil’ Roman Empire, while the plucky Jedi rebels were the plucky Judi rebels (the Essene Nazarenes - the Church of Jesus).
Take a look at the fortress of Jedha, which is an exact copy of the Judi fortress of Massada. Which is interesting, because in Judaic history the traitor who joined the Empire (ie: Darth Vader) and became a great leader of theirs, was Josephus Flavius.

Vespasian would not have plagiarised the gospels.
At the time of his ascension they would not have been written and disseminated.
Vespasian WROTE the gospels, via Josephus Flavius.
There are numerous similarities between the gospels and the works of Josephus. That is why theologians say that the gospels had some decades of oral tradition, and were finally written in the AD70s - because so much of their material comes from Josephus.
The truth is that the gospels relate AD 60s events, during the Jewish Revolt. Jesus was the leader of that Revolt, as the Talmud makes clear (the Talmud blames Jesus for the destruction of the Temple.). And this chronicle (both religious and secular) was recounted and recorded by Josephus Flavius.
R
Good point
Jesus-Izas Monobazus was a mighty king of Edessa. He was a big threat to Titus. Jesus-Izas grandma was daughter of Cleopatra. He was rich. He was famous and a mighty leader of the Jewish rebels. He had a huge lojal crowd of his people (Babylon-jews) and the last pease he needed to be a emperor of Rom... was Jerusalem.
His mother queen Helena was really famous.
His father was king of Edessa and a prisoner in Rom before he died.
Jesus-Izas had a twinbrother and 12 brothers.
So Josephus stopped him and helped Titus.
Info on twin brother pls ?
Fantastic and eye opening. In a strange parallel to the Indian epic Ramayana, I feel like this prison fortress in Chester in the middle of the forest parallels the Asoka vana where Sita was imprisoned by Raavana.
Note the following points which suggest that the second half of the Ramayana (war) is abstract imagery around the usurpation of Rome by the Flavians and subsequent fall of Rome
1. The play titus andronicus shows a magical deer hunt and an episode in which Titus' sister has her tongue chopped off. Magical deer hunt and a similar incident occur in the Ramayana
2. Who was Sita that was abducted and imprisoned by Raavana? I speculate that these are the Delphic Oracles that Vespasian needed to imprison because he lacked legitimacy as a ruler. There are also episodes in Ramayana in which the Raavana character attempts to feed human flesh (tastily cooked) to Sita (this is paralleled in Titus Andronicus)
3. Who was Raavana? The crucial evidence of the Romano gypsies is important there. Why did the gypsies migrate out of India around the turn of the millenium and in such large numbers. Now it is understood that Gypsies arrived in Europe much earlier than thought around 400AD. Clearly they were responding to some sort of cataclysmic event that was considered important to unearth by the ruling dynasties of India. When the gypsies arrived, the capital of Rome had already shifted to Ravenna, hence the character Ravana (mispelling of Ravenna) is conflated to be the guy who did the abduction (but in fact it was the flavians who did it centuries ago). This was an early era in which information flow took lots of time and bards were likely to make these errors
4. All of this shows that the character Jesus-Christ who was crucified was of great importance to the Indians and I believe this specific character who fought, was captured and crucified is modeled in the Abhimanyu character of a later epic the Mahabharata
5. Carrying this speculation further, the prisoner in the English prison was probably not Jesus (who was dead by then and of no political value to Vespasian) but the Oracles whose prophecies he needed to hide from the Roman public
That same eastern star, or conjoining of Jupiter and Saturn will happen this year, but not in any day, the 21st of dec this year, or the winter solstice or

Yes, but the people themselves were stars.
All these monarchs were incarnations of one god or another, and the Mary's were incarnations of Isis-Venus. So they were seen as the 'star' themselves.

@@RalphEllis very trun. But wasn’t the zodiac clock hidden knowledge? I’d there a possibility that Rome was the only group who didn’t know what the zodiac was all about? Would that be a reason why Rome crack it and burnt and destroyed all knowledge relating to it?
Also rome and the church was obsessed with a flat earth but I believe zodiac worshipers knew the earth was round. Plus the Romans changed the calendar and added emperors etc.
was Rome jellous of not getting this info? Even red dye, location of England was all kept from Rome. Then out of rage they tried to destroy all traces of this knowledge. The Iberian semetics would have known the world was round, especially if they did make it to South America then told Columbus where to go
Yes, and we know that Rome did not understand the precessional zodiac, because their Mithraic zodiac was a full Great Month (1,800 years) out of date.

Hello Ralph. I really enjoy your writing. I have all of your books in The King Jesus Trilogy and The Egyptian Exodus series. I love them all and find them very thought provoking and meticulously researched. I was especially intrigued by your book "King Jesus" and your postulation regarding Saul/Paul of Tarsus and Josephus Flavius being one and the same person. All of your research into comparing the lives of Paul and Josephus is remarkable and hard to believe that anyone cannot see the impossibility of these being sheer coincidence! Are you familiar with a book by Joseph Atwill, called "Caesar's Messiah"? It is very interesting and I wonder what you think about the premise of this book? His theory is that the 3 Flavian Emperors along with Josephus created what you refer to as simple Christianity as a way to force the Jews to worship the Flavians as their God, without their direct knowledge or understanding. Also to end the militant messiah tradition and replace it with a messiah of love and peace (turn the other cheek), and give unto Caesar that which is Caesar's. To accomplish this Atwill theorizes that they created the gospels using the technique of typology, which is used throughout Judaic literature. It is a complicated theory to explain, but basically creates a common timeline and set of events which mirror each other and creates confusion by using the same names over and over or by using different names for the same person. Such as your theory about Josephus and Saul/Paul. I would love to hear what you think about this theory and could it possibly fold into your research?
There is a video out there, with myself and Atwill - interesting discussion. The reason you will not find another analysis between Josephus and Saul, is they are petrified of this conflation - because it destroys the entire classical biblical narrative. It demonstrates that Christianity is a Roman invention, and that Jesus was alive in the AD60s.
@@RalphEllis I totally understand. You are very courageous to even write in detail about this incredibly important subject. I was brought up Lutheran and since I was old enough to research the history of Christianity and religions in general, I have been intensely inquisitive and read everything I could regarding the subject. I have always felt the New Testament was far too jumbled and confusing to follow. Also intrigued by the language changes over time, which would obviously allow for mistranslations and agenda driven changes to occur. I will definitely check out the video interview between you and Atwill. I am honored to be able to converse with you via YT and thank you very much for responding so quickly. Will you be writing any new books in the near future. You may feel that you have covered everything about these subjects, but I thirst for more and would buy anything you put out. Thank you for being there and enduring all of the closed minded academia types. They are the same people who believed in the flat earth, earth centered universe theory, and denied Viking presence in North America until the proof hit them right in the face. Some doors have to be broken down instead of opened with a key! Be well and keep up the good fight.
The language mistranslations were often used deliberately, to obscure the character’s true names. Simple things like Simon being called by his title, Peter or Kephas. Or turning the Greek Mono-Bassilius (King Manu) into Monobazus. Or turning the Persio-Parthian name Izas into Jesus.
R
@@RalphEllis I am totally on board. It makes so much sense that it really explains all of the name confusion. The area was totally mixed up between Greek, Aramaic, Hebrew, and Persian. Loved your explanation. Unfortunately it takes someone who is interested enough to follow this wordplay and most people are too mired in their dogmatic indoctrination and too closed minded to take the time to follow the changes. It seems to be for "those with eyes to see and ears to hear". Are there any historical mysteries left for you to uncover or has it run it's course?
The Talmud is 90% wordplay - deliberately so they could talk about Jesus and others without being stoned to death.
A classic is Bar Kamza, meaning Locust, which is a reference to Jesus. See my video on the Huqoq mosaic, where the dumbo archaeologists totally (and deliberately) misidentified this mosaic for profit (for a fat fee from Nat Geographic). It is actually a depiction of Bar Kamza (Jesus), but they had absolutely no idea who he was.

To me it is very interesting to note the word Brit-Ish in Hebrew means Covenant Man brit= covenant And Ish= Man. Could their be a missing link to the truth of the exile to England in the Word British and the place of a New and Better Covenant given to Jesus?
James Sikes.... Great point! - Brit = Covenant & Ish = Covenant. I had noticed that Gloucestershire sounds similar to - Glow - Jester - Spire. Glow = Illumination - Jester = Fool, Joke(r) - Spire = The Towering Pyramidal Symbols on Churches, representing Jesus and Mary Magdalene. With Dursley sounding like Dur = Foolish or Stupid Action & Sley = Slay. And that it's a Foolish or Stupid Action to Slay someone from that area.
@@miemartine2216 Thank you MiE for comment. Something for you to investigate if interested in the Jesus figure of the Bible who was born 2 B.C. and died 99 A.D. I'am convinced Apollonius of Tyanna is the Jesus figure from which the New Testament writings are centered. Apollonius was also the true Apostle Paul who brought Christianity to Rome in 57 A.D. and was imprisoned and after released traveled to India and the far East spreading the Good news of the Gospel of Grace through Faith Alone to all of Man kind.

Yes, because these different temples may have the same function, they may all be based upon the zodiac. I’ve written an article on my Facebook site which analyses Gobekli Tepi as being circles of the zodiac which is an interesting analysis.

According to the Bible Jesus was visited by a group of non Jewish ('magi") Persian priests (who travelled into enemy territory, Persia being Rome's enemy and Judea being a Roman province at the time) upon his birth to give him three boxes full of the two most expensive products in the world and a box full of gold. Later he was sent to Egypt for an education (Egypt being the center of the world's learning at that time) which would of been available only to those considered rich because education was not free but then he came back only to work on building sites as a craftsman (tekton in the original), something he could of learnt as an apprentice without going anywhere yet he is called a Rabbi something that would of meant religious education and to earn respect Rabbi's were expected to marry and have children (to be considered worldly just as Catholic priests aren't given respect on issues of marriage nowadays), and despite the wealth given to him at birth and his status at work as a craftsman not just a day labourer and status as a Rabbi he was said to be practically penniless, this makes no sense logically, historically, practically or in any other way, the Bible is hiding something or telling just outright lies, there are just too many contradictions in my comment alone.
Far too many contradictions.
Hence my quest.
R
Dear sir, after reading all your books there is only one question I would ask: the Golden Legend says that Joseph of Arimathea took the Grail to France. Does this mean that Saulo-Josephus went to that country with Marie Magdalene or she went there with Josephus' older brother that was a Galli?
Difficult to say, as the Golden Legend is not exactly real history Remembering that Joseph of Arimathaea was Josephus Flavius, and this Grail was probably Mary Mag, then yes, Josephus may have gone to France. He may have escorted them there, or he may have been spying for Rome on the activities of the Grail women. But I think he would have gone back to Judaea, as he was the de-facto governor of the region.
R
Ralph Ellis Isn’t there a town on the southern coast of France that still commemorates Magdalen’s arrival there?

So this agrees with what the Muslims and Gnostics think happened to Jesus? Except in this case, he survives being crucified and is sent to exile in Britain instead of being substituted then raptured to Heaven?
Yes, there are many texts that say Jesus either survived, or was replaced on the cross by his twin brother.

Great video
At 2:19, when the bust of Vespasian was shown, did anyone else think, hey, he kind of resembles Ralph? 🤔
Well if Jerusalem is all about the cornerstone like Bethlehem is to bread and you plough your mind on why the meaning of coin in Latin relates to the cornerstone I'm sure you can put your head to the truth behind prophet and profits relationship!
I have watched many of your videos and find your insights very interesting. I am curious as to what your take is on the biblical teachings of Jesus. It would seem strange that the teachings of peace and love (e.g., love your enemies, turn the other cheek, the Golden Rule) would hardly be the teachings of a warrior king. Do you see these teachings as (1) rules set forth by Jesus to solely govern conduct within Edessa, (2) teachings by Jesus after his defeat and his exile to England, (3) a mockery of a defeated warrior by the Roman church, or (4) something else?
Think he says that turning Christianity into a peaceful religion is Roman propaganda penned by Josephus. Christianity is a creation of Josephus / Saul / Paul to serve as a form of Judaism that the Romans can stomach. Especially on part on paying your dues to Caesar. No surprise why Christianity is seen as representative of Western civilisation.
Notice how similar Ellis's interpretation is to what the Muslims think happened to Jesus whom they call Isa. Very similar to the Persian title Jesus had had of Izas. Quite possible that the Muslims got that from Gnostic Christians who fled to Persia.
What I want to know is Ellis's take on the resurrection. Is the risen from the dead in 3 days another allusion to astrology?
@@cecaloather8701 Thank you for the clarification. My understanding of Ellis' theory about the resurrection was that Jesus was a Freemason and it was the 3rd degree Masonic rite ritual. However, I did see one of his videos where he showed a mural of the zodiac found in a Jewish temple; but I don't remember if he associated it astrotheology.
Yes, the conversion of this story from Revolt i to Peace and Love was pure Roman propaganda. They wanted a Rome-friendly religion and that is what they crafted. The Epistles even say you must do as your appointed secular leaders demand (and pay your Roman taxes). This was perfect for Rome.
R
@@RalphEllis Thank you for the clarification.
I've read all the books by Ralph Ellis, and I've found that some other researchers have came to the same conclusions about his theories.
Many people are (secretly) jumping on the Ellis bandwagon.
Even those who claim to be critics.
R
I have a real problem believing this Jesus survived the crucification for several reasons. One is that Rome would have wanted him dead. Now I realize that not everyone put on the “cross” was nailed to it but if you are going assume that the Bible are more of less accurate accounts, even if misinterpreted and deliberately placed after the events occurred, then you should be consistent and assume this Jesus was killed.
Also I think the arguments for allowing him to live are weak and go against tradition. Is it possible that you trying to “resurrect” this Jesus to fit your narrative?
Josephus Flavius says that the leader of the Jewish Revolt survived his crucifixion (because Josephus took him down early, much as the gospels say). I have no reason to disbelieve Josephus’ report.
The Church will not equate this to the biblical Jesus, because it means that Jesus was a warrior king fighting against the Romans.
R
Ralph is not assuming "that the Bible are more of less accurate accounts",
They are like propaganda writing of 1 political party today.
The source material usually is accurate but the interpretation and the conclusions are distorted in the favor of the political party agenda.
If you do not know the source material you won't be able to distinguish the source material from the lies.
The gospels never say that Jesus died, but they say that Jesus died and revived which fits Josephus narrative(the source material).
About the "Rome would have wanted him dead" part, is quite easy.
Rome already defeated Jesus, Jesus was not a threat to Rome, but his bloodline in Adessa was a possible civil war in the near future. Adessa was under the protection of Parthia so they could not get to them. Any roman aristocrat that was ambitious enough could support a member of that family and bring out of exile. Thus Jesus was worth more alive as a hostage than dead.
Actually I think you'll find Jesus went to Shingo in Japan to live out his life
Why is it five 1/4s and three 1/2s instead of 1/5s and 1/3s?
Not sure why everyone is so mad at this video, its actually very interesting
Some people find it challenging to their faith - either to a religious faith or a historical faith. You will find the latter is as strong among historians, as it is within any religious group. They just cannot stand seeing their favourite historical framework pulled apart, piece by piece....
See my video on the Huqoq mosaic, where the archaeologists and historians did not have a clue, but got really defensive when it was pointed out they were completely wrong.
R
Ralph Ellis right because of all people, biblical historians, and contemporary historians you are the voice of reason to discover and explore these things - thats some nice self-validation for you isn’t it ;)
Yup. But it also happens to be true.
Scientists and historians have to stay within academic structures and supposed truths, or lose their jobs and careers. Look at what happened to Prof David Bellamy and Prof Peter Ridd when they went outside the orthodoxy - they were both sacked.
R
If you are right then there is a strong possibility that Jesus's grave is there. And they definately dont want it to be discovered. Am i right?
It would be an embarrassment to the Church.
But that begs the question as to what burial practice would have been observed, and whether any burial goods would have been allowed. I rather than the Romans would have preferred an unmarked grave.
R
@@RalphEllis i mean that if they found a grave and a body there with name address ect would there be a God Jesus anymore.?Wouldnt it all collapse? Everyone is looking for a tumb nobody for a bead body.
@@LuisSuarez14690 Considering what the romans did to the tombs of the Adessan kings after they sacked Adessa, doubt they would leave a tomb in England, but you never know.
I’m a little confused on a few things, you mention Vespasian plagiarising the gospels in 70ad or thereabouts but the gospels weren’t written at that time. Also you say Josephus is St Paul but Josephus disposed magicians etc so why would he then invent one? In this particular video I feel the circumstantial evidence is being stretch Ed to the limit but otherwise I do agree with your Jesus of Odessa theory. Love your knowledge on the ancients
No, I don't say that. I said that Vespasian ordered Josephus Flavius to write the gospels, which is why all theologians say the gospels were written in the early AD 70s (they contain lots of AD 70s material, and lots of material from Josephus).
St Paul (Saul) was not a Magus. The great Magus of the gospels was Simon Magus, who was probably Simon Boethus. St Peter tried to better Simon Magus as the great debate in Caesaria, and St Paul (Saul) was allied with St Peter.
R
I'm sure the fact that England didn't exist until 600 years later isn't important to the guy who made this video

The lands of England were established by the Angles, who arrived with the Saxons in the 6th and 7th centuries. England was named after the Angles, even if that did not become a formal title for many centuries. I could have referred to Britannia in the title, but most Americans know this region as England, not Britannia. The title has to resonate with viewers. Ralph
Ralph Ellis
What you just stated is the most unhistorical claim I've heard in a long time. Infact, no major historian... athiest or Christian would agree with your claims.
Why is it unhistorical.? Josephus says the leaders of the (failed) Jewish Revolt were exiled, initially to Rome.
But the archaeology of Fortress Dewa in ‘England’ strongly suggests it was built on the orders of Emperor Vespasian to be a vast 1st century Guantanamo Bay, housing dangerous rebels from the East.
Now that is compelling circumstantial, and historical, evidence, that the leaders of the Revolt ended up in ‘England’.
R
Exiled to England ? Where in scripture does that originate ?
The story is he was born in Bethlehem Ephratah . 29 years before his baptism . Died 3 1/2 years later . Resurrected before his assention . Leaving behind his apostles . Who in turn never mentioned any Exile .
Leave it like that please ?
It is derived from Syriac and Roman records - watch the videos and read the books...

Exquisite work and so much research, original research, thank you so much for sharing this and I can't wait to read the books and take notes and compare them with the Bible story.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Jesus of Nazareth is an invented person who never existed. Christianity itself is invented in the period of renaissance beginning from the 16th century in what we call now France , the land of Gauls where the the Gaulish god Esus was worshiped, hence Jesus=Esus.
He is only mythical, if you cannot find him in the historical record.
But now we have found him - he was a king of Edessa.

Welcome back Ralf. Could there be a correlation between King Arthur and the Glastonbury zodiac?
What is the Glastonbury zodiac?
R
@@RalphEllis they are what support your premise on the juxtaposition of King Jesus and King Arthur; landscape zodiac.
I don’t believe in landscape zodiacs, as you can put anything in them.
And King Arthur (whether classical or revised) had NOTHING to do with Glastonbury, that was a later claim by the priests and monks to generate cash. The Vulgate cycle never mentions Glastonbury.
Ralph
@@RalphEllis but by your research you postulate that Zodiacs were a Jewish custom, how would England (whether the landscapes are credible or not- by you) adopt such traditions if not by culture exchanges with Jews?
It might not have necessarily been King Arthur, whom you affixed to King Jesus but influence from them.
@@edm5166 Because the zodiacs are not specifically Jewish, as they were in usage as far back as Summer in the least. The Hebrew/Egyptian correlation isn't the only one to have germinated across Europe, as variations on the theme had circulated throughout.
Mr Ellis has shown examples of zodiacs that were Jewish specific, but again, zodiacs themselves are not specifically Jewish.
I hope that what I mentioned helped out and didn't sound condescending, because that is the last thing I was attempting.
Wow! A lot of triggeredin the comments section. Instead of just voting down the video how come you guys won't and don't come up with any counter arguments?
They never do. The M.O. of the Liberal Left is denigration, and owning the language ('you cannot say that'). They never have any facts, logic or reason.
R
I don't believe Jesus existed but even I say what a load of total bollocks.
So what do you disagree with?
R
1. If the Romans didn't want someone around - they killed them. They certainly didn't go to the cost of building a special Jewish Prison, with it's own Jewish 'facilitites' so they'd 'feel at home'.
2. If they were going to build a prison in the UK - the inmates would be mainly Brits. So if they were going to do something culturally relevant to the prisoners - it would be Celtic. Not Jewish.
2. If they were worried about martyrs - removing to the other side of the Empire would have had much the same effect. You killed him. No we didn't - he's in this place youve never heard of, in a land far far away.... Yeah, right.
3. Why this prison/ Fort? You must first check all such facilitites in the Roman empire in all countries - and rule them out first. You haven't done this.
You have drawn a bow upon a bow upon a bow upon an assumption that hangs in the air with zero evidence to support it. This isn't history. It would even make the likes of Dan Brown blush....
Your argument does not accord with politics, nor history.
1. Why did Britain send Napoleon into exile, instead of killing him? Because the latter would have been politically insensitive - as Napoleon still had many supporters in France, which the British had to administer.
Same with Jesus, who had powerful allies in the Near East. Indeed, Vespasian's ‘daughter-in-law’ (Berenice) was a supporter of King Izas-Jesus, and would have been upset by his execution. So Jesus in exile could be used to quell the Near East - disarm and abide by the Pax Romana, or we kill your king....
2. I have no doubt that letters were sent to Edessa from Dewa by the prisoners, confirming that King Jesus-Izas was still alive. Indeed, I reproduce a letter from a Roman prisoner in my books, that appears to discuss the Jewish Revolt - was this letter from Dewa? Likewise, aristocrats from Edessa were probably allowed to travel to Dewa, to see how their king was being treated.
3. This is no different to the treatment of Rudolf Hess, who was kept in splendid isolation for decades, simply because nobody wanted to be held responsible for his death. And remember that King Izas-Jesus was supposed to have been semi-divine. Who was going to test his divinity by killing him?
Ralph
@@RalphEllis firstly - you are the one making the claim, not me. Im simply not buying the claim.
Second - to compare Roman Europe with Napoleonic times is to suggest you're not actually a historian. Who exactly did Rome have to be 'sensitive' to ? Where as By early 19th C - Europe was a complex series of diplomatic alliances. These are two massively different scenarios. The fact that you make such a comparison tells me all I need to know about the quality of your mind.
Jesus had powerful allies in the East? Lol. Where were these in his fight with Rome? And you miss the point. To remove him to where you suggest they did would have the same effect as if they'd killed him. There would have been no quick way of proving he was still alive. Letters are easily forged and would be assumed as such.
Rome at that time had no one to fear or 'answer to' in a diplomatic sense. Later perhaps - but not then.
"Was this letter from Dewa"? I don;t know. Got any actual evidence that it wasn;t sent from any one of a hundred other forts/ prisons? What you have is a letter that discusses the revolt (possibly). It proves not a single aspect of your specific claim.
3. Again Hess is a false comparison. Hess was held in accordance with new international law on the treatment of prisoners, tried and found guilty - and then sentenced to life imprisonment. The Romans had no international community to keep happy.
To quote Joanne Ball in her paper on the treatment of captured Combatants on the Roman world "There is no evidence for a recognised 'prisoner of war' status in the Roman world. Unlike later periods, there was no provision to imprison captured combatants until the end of the conflict, nor any guidelines for how they should be treated between capture and their ultimate fate".
You obviously do not understand the political situation in the Roman east. Rome had been at war with Parthia for a century, and the Edessans had been tolerated and used as a buffer-state between the two for all of that time. (The Edessan monarchs were exiles from Parthia, led by Queen Thea Muse Ourania.). And all was well, until Rome tried to tax Edessa.
The traditional ploy of Edessa had always been to play one super-power against the other, so if Rome got belligerent, Edessa leaned towards Parthia. And vice versa. There was a real threat that if Rome was too harsh on Edessa (killing their king), then Parthia may come to their assistance - perhaps even invade Edessa, which Rome considered to be theirs.
This is all spelled out by Josephus, Moses of Chorene, and by Arthurian Legend, which contains vast chunks of 1st century Near Eastern history. (The primary hero of the Arthurian story was Joseph of Arimathaea, and much of the story is verifiable history).
