So... I started up my thread again, and have been digging in deep antiquity... I think I found another big one...
I am not convinced Abraham was from Sumer (Ur).
It all depends on where you place the Land of Shinar—which to my surprise—is not a settled issue.
There was another Ur. And it was not too far from Lake Van in Turkey... On a huge flat plain... East of Mount Ararat.
Isn't that interesting...
The Tower of Babel may have been MUCH further North.
Now... Check this out... Nearly every culture had an "explanation" of where they came from, written by later historians (Eusebius, Josephus, Strabo, etc.).
Many claim ancestors from Babel.
The Jaredites for the LDS... The Huns, The Scythians, The Basque...
The name Chaldaea is a latinization of the Greek Khaldaía (Χαλδαία), a hellenization of Akkadian.
Ummm... Akkadian and Sumerian are definitely not the same.
Ur of the Chaldees?
Even Josephus said “Arphaxad named the Arphaxadites, who are now called Chaldeans.”
That would make it Northern Mesopotamia...
Arpachshad was understood by many Jewish and Muslim scholars to be an area in northern Mesopotamia.
Jubilees 9:3 allots Shinar (or, in the Ethiopic text, Sadna Sena`or) to Ashur, son of Shem.
“Shinar” — a Semitic language form of “two rivers” (in Hebrew, “shene nahar”). Shinar, then, may be “land of two rivers,” which could be anywhere between the rivers of Mesopotamia.
Last thought... I'm not convinced it wasn't in Sumer either... Still working on this...

It's late, but I think I might start another long (unfinished) thread. Why not? Coffee brewing...
I listened to several Gene Decode interviews this week talking about the things nobody wants to talk about.
1.) The Underground.
2) Now when Gene was rambling off spectacular details about the Underground, my mental graph database was making weird connections with 12 years of conspiracy research and observations...
3) So before I touch on what Gene discussed, let me first lay out these strange connections—which may or may not be ultimately related.
Remember those weird posters that were big in the 90's, where you had to blur your eyes a bit and focus on an alternate depth of field? Stereograms... Kinda like this one.
Remember those things?
When you see the movie, and it becomes clear, it breathtaking. Just snaps into focus... maybe you lose focus from time to time. Maybe you just have to look past the surface and see what's behind it.
I'm watching MSM again, I think I see the plan. It's perfect.
Doesn't matter the station, the Youtube channel, etc... Pick a channel. And just watch. You are witnessing a combination of admission/plea videos and a education of what THEY are and what THEY do... But attributing it to MAGA. It's meant to awaken normies.
Common Core math was the pinnacle of their evil genius, and low-point of our complacency... It disrupted the minds of an entire generation on how even the most basic things work.
