Robert Feather, a metallurgist, demonstrates quite convincingly that the weights and numbering system used in the copper scroll are actually Egyptian in origin, further, he shows how the Greek characters inserted into the text of the copper scroll make clear references to the pharoah Akhenaten. Be prepared to change your view on Old Testament history, Mr Feather hits you between the eyes with convincing archaeological evidence that the treasure of the Temple never resided in Jerusalem but in Amarna, the City of God that Akhenaten built, and that the monotheistic religion of Akhenaten heavily influenced what eventually became Judaism. A must read for any avid student of ancient history.

This book exposes the dark & critical role secret societies play within the ruling families in America and their tremendous influence on American democracy, current events, and world history. Steven Sora reveals in alarming detail how these societies continue to wield power even today as organisations such as Yale’s Skull & Bones unite America’s modern ruling families as strongly as Masonic Lodges once connected the Astors, Livingstons, and Roosevelts. Their immense power and wealth allow this elite to control America to an even greater degree than the Templars once dominated Europe.

Graham Phillips uncovers evidence that the Templars of the 13th century found the Ark and Stones of Fire and that they brought these treasures back to England. When examined by Oxford scientists the stones were found to possess odd physical properties that interfered with electronic equipment and produced a sphere of floating light similar to ball lighting. De-ciphering old church stained glass windows, inscriptions and church paintings, the author takes the reader on a journey staggering in it’s implications and provocative in it’s conclusions.
A must read for enthusiasts of Templar history and Biblical mysteries.
