Finding the Queen of Sheba

For anyone who doesn't know, the Queen of Sheba is a person in the bible who heard of King Solomon's fame and went to visit him. It is a somewhat famous bible story. Read the bible chapters (1 Kings 10 & 2 Chronicles 9) or see the Wikipedia article on her for more details. This queen is still unfound in archaeology.

I thought I'd have another crack at trying to find a match for the Queen (of) Sheba in the New Chronology scenario of King David in the Amarna period and Shishak as Ramses 2 (which I agree with). I've always found the queen of Sheba a hard one to find and still do, and so far I can only find the below candidates in the NC timeframe. I have checked the Hebrew text and the words are Malkat Sheva "Queen (of) Sheba" but I only know enough Hebrew and Greek words to make rough translations of Old Testament verses and I don't know all the cases and grammar etc so it is possible that there might be a linguistic misunderstanding of the original text sentences as there is in the case of "Zerah the Cushite/Ethiopian". I don't have a transliteration of the Septuagint so I can't even check that (as I find different scripts to difficult to remember without having to refer to lists of letters). So there might be a possibility that the reading Queen (of) Sheba is wrong.

The Malkat/Queen (of) Sheba is variously named Sheba, Nicaule, Bilqis, Makeda, Tamrin, Aaziz in different nations' traditions, but none of these names occur in the bible except for Sheba (which is uncertain whether it is a place/people name or a person name), so we can't be sure she was associated with any of the other names. A Jewish scholar also seemed to imply that the gender of the "Queen (of) Sheba" may also be questionable (I'll have to try refind the source & details as I didn't record/remember them)..
Sheba may mean either "oath/swear" or "seven(th)/sabbath/jubilees" or "man" or "plenty" [or zeba "the army"?]
From searching maps using the details of the bible the queen can only have been either Arabian or Egyptian or Ethiopian.

These are the candidates I've come up with:

Queen of Saba, Yemen, South Arabia:

Pros:
- The name Sheba could match the name Saba in ancient Yemen.
- The camels and spices mentioned in Kings & Chronicles could match South Arabia.
- The queen said Solomon's subjects were happy. Arabia Felix means happy Arabia.
- Yemen fits "queen of the south", and Yemen could maybe fit "the ends of the earth".

Cons:
- Velikovsky said all Yemenite inscriptions were read and every stone turned in Yemen but no trace was found of the Queen of Sheba there.
- Would they have heard of Solomon's fame in Yemen which is sort of isolated and out of the way?
- I find it hard to believe the queen's train traveled all the way from Yemen to Israel.
- The dates might be abit late? Saba is dated in 3 sources "earlier 1st millenium", "ca 930" (obviously based on the queen of Sheba), "end of the 8th century". Conventional dates also tend to be too long/old.
- The queen of Sheba doesn't seem to occur in the Arabian king list.
- Sh & S might not match?

Queen of Mecca/Arabia:

Pros:
- Walker claims that a queen/goddess/matriarch named Shayba is connected with the Mecca area.
- Ashurbanipal said there were queens of the Arabians from before could be remembered.

Cons:
- There doesn't seem to have been found any archaeological evidence for the queen of Sheba in Mecca or Arabia?

Queen of Ethiopia:

Pros:
- Josephus calls the queen of Sheba queen of (Egypt &) Ethiopia.
- There is the Ethiopian tradition that the queen of Sheba was Ethiopian.
- There is a Sheba-like place/people name [Shewa/Shoa?] in Ethiopia/Abyssinia.
- Fits queen of the south.

Cons:
- The queen would have had to of traveled through Egypt to get to Israel by camel train. It is also a very long distance.
- The Ethiopian tradition is probably not very reliable.

Queen of Egypt: Ankh-esenpa-aten:

Pros:
- The queen of Sheba is queen of Egypt & Ethiopia in Josephus.
- Fits with David a contemporary of Akhenaten.
- The name Sheba might match the middle part of Ankh-esenpa-aten. (The ankh and Aten could be excluded?)
- Sheba can mean "seven". Ankhesenpaten was 1 of 6 known daughters of Nefertiti.
- Egypt could fit "queen of the south" as it is south of Israel, and Egypt is called the south in Daniel.

Cons:
- Ankh-esenpa-aten was only called that at first for a little while, she was later called Ankh-esen-amen when she was a queen.
- Egypt may not fit "from the ends of the earth".
- The camels and spices mentioned in Kings & Chronicles may not fit Egypt.

Queen of Egypt: Nefertiti:

Pros:
- The queen of Sheba is queen of Egypt & Ethiopia in Josephus.
- Fits with David a contemporary of Akhenaten.
- Sheba can mean "seven". Nefertiti was mother of 6 known daughters. Some identify Nefertiti with Taduhipa, and Hipa/Heba is similar to Sheba. She is also connected with several ushabti/shabti.
- Egypt could fit "queen of the south" as it is south of Israel, and Egypt is called the south in Daniel.
- Nefertiti first appears in scenes in Thebes. Hawass theorised that Nefertiti returned to Thebes from Amarna to rule as Pharaoh. Thebes is similar to Sheba? Thebes may match "queen of the south".

Cons:
- If Akhenaten and David were contemporary then Nefertiti might have been too old by the later part of Solomon's reign. Also if Ramses 2 was Shishak then she may be abit too early.
- Egypt may not fit "from the ends of the earth".
- The camels and spices mentioned in Kings & Chronicles may not fit Egypt.

Queen of Egypt: Smenkhkare:

Pros:
- The queen of Sheba is queen of Egypt & Ethiopia in Josephus.
- Fits with David a contemporary of Akhenaten.
- Smenkhkare's gender is disputed/uncertain and so it could be a she matching the queen of Sheba. (The queen of Sheba's gender is also maybe implied to be questioned in at least one Jewish source.)
- The name Smenkhkare/Seaakara/Saanekht is maybe similarish to the name Sheba.
- Egypt could fit "queen of the south" as it is south of Israel and Egypt is called the south in Daniel.

Cons:
- Egypt may not fit "from the ends of the earth".
- The camels and spices mentioned in Kings & Chronicles may not fit Egypt.

Queen of Egypt: Meritaten queen of Smenkhkare:

Pros:
- The queen of Sheba is queen of Egypt & Ethiopia in Josephus.
- Fits with David a contemporary of Akhenaten.
- The name Smenkhkare/Seaakara/Saanekht is maybe similarish to the name Sheba.
- Egypt could fit "queen of the south" as it is south of Israel, and Egypt is called the south in Daniel.

Cons:
- Egypt may not fit "from the ends of the earth".
- The camels and spices mentioned in Kings & Chronicles may not fit Egypt.

Queen of Egypt: KV 55 (suggestions for her/his identity include Tiy, Akhenaten, Kiya, Smenkhkare, Meritaten):

Pros:
- The queen of Sheba is queen of Egypt & Ethiopia in Josephus.
- Fits with David a contemporary of Akhenaten.
- The KV 55 coffin was originally made for a female. The body was originally thought to be a female.

Cons:
- Egypt may not fit "from the ends of the earth".
- The camels and spices mentioned in Kings & Chronicles may not fit Egypt.

Queen of Egypt: queen of Hor-em-heb:

Pros:
- The queen of Sheba is queen of Egypt & Ethiopia in Josephus.
- Fits with David a contemporary of Akhenaten.
- Sheba and the -heb of Hor-em-heb (meaning "jubilation") are similar. (Horus could be dropped/excluded?)
- Egypt could fit "queen of the south" as it is south of Israel, and Egypt is called the south in Daniel.

Cons:
- Egypt may not fit "from the ends of the earth".
- The camels and spices mentioned in Kings & Chronicles may not fit Egypt.

Jack the Ripper again

These are some additional notes subsequent to my previous article on this subject in my other wordpress blog. The people at casebook forum don't seem to be very favourable to me posting on my suspect MJK there so I'm posting this in my blog instead.

In the whole JTR topic just about everything is uncertain and unable to be proven either way, for example:

- It is not able to be proven whether the JTR letters were or were not written by the murderer or murderers.

- It is not able to be certain why the name Jack was chosen or where the murderer or the letter hoaxer got it from. If it was chosen by the murderer then we can't prove whether it was for a personal name connection (ie a connection of the name Jack with his/her name/names) or a non-name connection (ie for some other reason other than a connection with his/her name/names). No Ripperologists' suspect/hoaxer theories or JTR/hoaxer claimants actually state why the name Jack was chosen. (Eg does JTR claimant James Carnac say in his book why he chose the name Jack, or does he say the name was the choice of the letter hoaxer? Does the journalist who claims to have written the letters say why the name Jack was chosen?)

- It is not able to be proven whether the "MJK" victim was or was not MJK.

This post is on the name Jack. The following list(s) gives some possibilities for where the name Jack came from or why the name Jack was chosen by either the murderer or the hoaxer. 


Anagram/Abbreviation/Initials/Wordplay/Pun:
James Maybrick = Ja. ...ck = Jack, (a JTR suspect).
John Mccormack = J. ...ack = Jack, (identifies body).
(Mary) Jane Kelly = Ja. K...(y) = Jack(y), (a JTR suspect).
James Kelly = Ja. k...(y) = Jack(y), (a JTR suspect).
James Kenneth Stephen = Ja. K. = Jack, (a JTR suspect).
James Kent = Ja. K. = Jack, (witness).
James Willoughby Carnac = Ja. C./...ac = Jack, (JTR claimant).
Joseph Merrick = J. ...ck = Jack, ("a JTR suspect").
Lord Justice Clerk = J. C...k = Jack.
John Kelly = J. K...(y) = Jack(y), (partner of Eddowes).
Jerome Klapka Jerome = J.K. = Jack, (English writer).
Joseph Chandler = J. C. = Jack, (witness).

Jack/Jacky/Jackson is a common name/nickname/word:
Jack/James Russell of Horton Kirby (suggested to be JTR)
Admiral Jack(y) Fisher
Union Jack
"The word jack is also commonly used in other contexts in English for many occupations, objects and actions, linked to the use of the word as a metaphor for a common man."
"Whatever its origins, both the name and the word "jack" were long used as a term to refer to any man, especially of the common classes."
"The history of the word (jack) is linked to the name being used as a by-name for a man."

Jack might be from iach/Yakkios:
"There is also a theory that it is Celtic in origin, meaning "healthy, strong, full of vital energy" (compare the Welsh word iach, "health"), from a putative Ancient British Yakkios."

Jack is similar to Jeckyl(l):
Jeckyl(l) & Hyde (of RLS who is a JTR suspect).

Dr Jon William Sanders
 

Though of course there are also many thousands more unknown persons who had the name Jack or John or James or Jacob or Jacques or Jenkin, or similar initials/anagram/abbreviation. 


Of the many letters at the time only 7 of them are possibly from the murderer (excluding the Juwes graffito and the alleged diary), though they are all uncertain whether they are genuine or a hoax and many favour the pro-hoax evidences. 6 of these mention the name Jack.
A letter 17 sept
1st Dear Boss letter 27 sept
Saucy Jacky post card 1 oct
A letter of 6 oct 88
(From Hell letter to Lusk 16 oct, the only one not mentioning name Jack.)
Openshaw letter 29 oct
2nd Dear Boss letter Jul 89.

That there are 6 letters possibly from the murderer/murders that all mention the name Jack makes it less likely that they are all a hoax than if there was only 1 (i.e. less likely that all 6 a hoax). (Though its possible the murderer adopted the name that a hoaxer first came up with.)
 

*If* the letter that first mentioned the name Jack was from the murderer, and *if* he/she adopted the name for a personal name connection reason then we can dismiss all the JTR suspects who have no known/given connection with the name Jack. And *if* the letter that said "I'm not a Yid (Jew) nor yet a foreign skipper but I am your own lighthearted friend" was from the muderer then we can dismiss all suspects who are Jews or foreigners (in/to Britain). (Though an Irish speech was detected in some letters, and the graffito mentioned Juwes (Jews).)

We have already listed above the suspects with a possible Jack name connection.

John Courtenay

Apart from the name Jack and the not being a Yid or foreigner, we went through all the main/major JTR suspects summaries and we thought/felt that all of them had no real majorly convincing/compelling strong evidence for being JTR, and alot even had reasons for seeming to be unlikely.

JTR was probably some unknown common person who is now almost impossible to find or prove.

Alot of persons have unfairly had their private/personal lives and reputations publically exposed to all the world in being suggested to be JTR suspects. Even if they were criminals or mentally ill its still unfair that private details of their lives have been flaunted.

before you cut someone off


Next time before you cut someone off or judge them for being "negative" just consider this:

how would you like to be forced to constantly always be hearing a ringing sound in your flat/house going all day and night every day and night for 3 years and have everyone purposely refuse to cooperate to find and stop it?

how would you like to be forced to eat and drink fluoridated water and food every meal every day and suffer the brain/body abilities/health hindrances and effects every day? (It is forced, bottled water and water filters are not so easy and genuine and good as people are lead to believe, and there is no way to avoid being forced to drink & eat it every day.)

how would you like to be in 40s and still always been single and all alone with hardly any real normal family and friends?

how would you like not being able to find out who your real grandfather was becuase relatives are too sensitive and authorities have too excessively unfair privacy laws?

how would you like to have friends and christians and family cut you off for being negative?

how would you like to have the police and mental health called in on you and to be forced under the mental health act and compulsory treatment for 17 months and be unfairly/untruly called a paranoid schizophrenic?

how would you like to be stuck in a bad accomodation situation and not be able to shift because of the housing crisis and because prices & rents are all too excessively high?

how would you like to be stuck in a corporate body company share flat situation, with neighbours problems? To have an attached neighbour who stomps heavily on bare wooden floor all day every day for 10 years? How would you like to be stuck in a small isolated place like Upper Hutt and New Zealand?

how would you like the power company and meter readers constantly messing you around for 3 years since the first smartmeters roll out, trying to force smartmeter on you?

how would you like tradespeople like plumbers and others mess you around for weeks/months/years refusing to do jobs so that it is very difficult to get need work done?

and many more such things present and past.

Well I have been suffering all these and more being done to me and yet no one seems to care or sympathise but some/many just instead cut me off for being negative. People can cut me off, but I can't cut off the mean cruel wrongs being constantly done to me by this regime and others.

I am sorry I speak/write negative but it is impossible for me to not say/write anything when suffering such awful constant wrongs being done to me and when I have hardly any positives. I can't help crying out and getting angry with such injust mean cruel wrongs. The only reason I have been negative is because I can't get them to stop doing mean cruel constant wrongs to me.

All I wanted was for people to sympathise or at least just agree that the things being done to me are evil and wrong. The elite and others would not be so easily able to get away with it if others agreed it is wrong. If I had friends/family it would not be so hard to bear the hell wrongs.

People have criticised me for being negative, but no one ever says the wrongs are done to me are wrong? People say I'm negative but they can't see that they support negative themselves (eg christians saying we have to accept trials and tribulation)? People criticise me for negative but never compliment me when I say/do positive? People punish me for negative but did they try to get any positive going? Even when I tried to write/say positive people didn't care or reply.

This regime knows they have me trapped powerless by their cunning clever laws and tactics not able to stop the mean cruel hell wrongs being constantly done to me every day. They simply refuse to stop them and if I can't control my angry reactions they know they can just force me under the mental health act. They have it all rigged up to evade redressing the wrongs and instead controlling us and making us have to suffer powerless. But i will find a way to die and even if worst comes to worst they can't keep me suffering for more than another 80 years and then I'll be dead and they won't be able to keep making me suffer the constant mean cruel wrongs anymore after that.

Where was Nazareth?

 
This is a reposting of my old Nazareth of Jesus article which was once posted in my Historum forum blog. Unfortunately Historum seems to have disgracefully also deleted my threads/topics and blogs after unfairly banning me.
Please note that this is abit roughly written. We have only done a quick editing of our original not very well written article. I seem to have lost my previous edited version so I had to reedit the older/oldest version again.

Could the "real/lost" Nazareth be Nabratein rather than the traditional "Nazareth"? by Sean B.

The reason for this article was that I had  seen that sources claim that the traditional "Nazareth" in Lower Galilee was not around (evidence it didn't exist or no evidence it existed) at the time of Christ, or it was not a city then and there was no synagogue there then. If the New Testament is true then it is a challenge then to find/prove either that the traditional Nazareth was around (at that site) in the time of  Christ or that Nazareth was not at that site and to find another true/real/original Nazareth site. I did a little looking around for alternative sites in wider vicinity of "Nazareth" without finding any major other candidates and evidence (see list of  considered candidates at end).
 Later on I was working on my Ark of the  Covenant article I noticed about my comment on the ark of Nabratein and had a sudden flash inspiration connection that this seemed like it might be the lost Nazareth especially because Nazareth was  supposed to have a synagogue and Nabratein does have one. Subsequent investigation seemed to offer a lot of confirmatory evidence. To me, Nabratein/Safed seems/feels/looks more right than "Nazareth" for Jesus' Nazareth. If correct it sheds light on Jesus home/life. "Nabratein was the obvious candidate to emerge".
 Admittedly there are doubts and my theory here could be wrong. Carol Meyers wrote in a reply to me that "Nazareth can't be Nabratein", though she didn't say why, and/or she didn't say "Nabratein  can't be Nazareth"?

Also, note that as usual/often there is so much conflicting info on different skeptics/antis/critics and  believers/Christians sides, and ignorance on my and/or others parts about Jewish people-in-the-land settlement(s) history etc.

Nabratein is near Safed, roughly ... miles north(- north-west/-east) of Capernaum & lake Galilee.
I haven't found many pictures of Nabratein (I have  found there is not a great deal of free good info on the web/net).

This article gives seventeen possible evidences/arguments that Nazareth is Nabratein in n.e./Upper Galilee rather than the traditional "Nazareth" in s.w./Lower Galilee.

1. Nazareth is said in the NT to have had (and/or been on) a cliff/height/hill(top) (note John 4 also stresses "(come) down") :

 Traditional "Nazareth" does have Nebi Sa'in ("too steep / 14% grade / range / elevated-tableau") &/or is "1,200 ft above sea-level, surrounded by hills", but only the modern (Arab/Jewish) city is on hill/top(s), not the ancient which was in valley. [Though Keller says the vice-versa: that old  "Nazareth" "lay farther up the hill than the modern village"? My sources are bit confusing/confused as to whether the ancient or modern and Jewish or Arab city was on hill or in valley.] "Nazareth" is in Lower Galilee while Nabratein/Safed is in Upper Galilee.

 Safed/Zefat (which Nabratein is near / (4 km) n.n.e. of) is "lookout", "situated on a hill" / in "mountains", "elevated", "view over the valley", and "is the highest city in Galilee". Nabratein is "on a ... promontory, in Upper Galilean highlands,  650 m above sea-level, on north side of mount Biriya, the site is situated on the summit of a small hill, the east side of which is marked by wadi Nabratein, [and] on the north side ... [is] the much deeper Khallat es-Siddiq", and its name is associated with root meaning "rise/swell(ing)/grow/prominence, 2 hills / the 2 high places".

2. Nazareth had a synagogue (building &/or congregation) (like Capernaum, Masada, Gamla, Japha, Jerusalem, Gadarenes) :

 Sources say the traditional "Nazareth" didn't ("no trace found"). [However, "there were many synagogues all over Galilee ... many not excavated" (which agrees with the gospels). Some  suggest the synagogue at Nazareth was destroyed (while others say not) and Keller wrote that "in the whole of Palestine there is not one synagogue left from those days. When the Romans ... razed Jerusalem ... and the inhabitants of the ancient country were scattered ... their sanctuaries fell ... to destruction." Counter that is "Yet 1st Century synagogues have been found in a number of Galilean cities, and there are no records of any  mass destructions taking place in Nazareth that would have obliterated a synagogue if it existed." Though there are academic articles which have "authoritative"-like arguments that synagogues didn't originate or become prominent until the 1st or 2nd century ad. They say that synagogue in gospels meant an assembly or place (or private home) of worship/prayer, or place/house where 10 men gather to pray. If the English translation of gospel verses is correct (and not a mis-translation) then they seem to imply a special/separate  structure/building? Others also point out things like that synagogues used on any other days other than sabbath weren't private houses/homes. Sepphoris had a synagogue in 6th cent [b/ce].]

Nabratein/Safed [&/or K Shema] did have a synagogue (like Capernaum) except that there maybe a problem that the date is mid/late Roman not early Roman? [Though, "Nabratein's synagogue is somewhat earlier than the other synagogues of Upper Galilee", and compare the later Capernaum synagogue "built on top of ruins/foundations of" previous one(s), and/or that 2 archaeologists believed the ("200 ad") Capernaum synagogue  dated from time of Christ. Although some statements/evidence seems sure that Nabratein (synagogue/ark) was mid/late Roman to late Byzantine [1], there has been some evidence that perhaps shows that the dating/stratigraphy is not  as definite as held [2].
1 - "preponderance of middle Roman pottery under flooring", inscription "494th year after Roman destruction of Temple", "lintel with inscription provides some clues to stratigraphy", "[style of] lintel first used in Late Roman".
2 - ["Why archaeologists disagree";] "at least 2 periods suggested by lintel" ("[late Roman lintel & Byzantine inscription]"), "inscription additional to lintel", "late Roman structure tentatively identified, tho some confusion as to date of the synagogue's initial construction", "only small exposure of earliest flooring was attained", "location of northern wall for periods preceed late Byzantine could not be identified", "badly disturbed foundations ... signified early history of building more complicated than previously considered", "theory of late Byzantine rebuild after gap 150 years", "revised stratigraphy", "seemed to indicate founding of the building prior to Late Roman period", etc.]

3. Nazareth had a synagogue and was home of Jesus who was a great rabbi who when 12 debated with scribes/pharisees (whence later  Rabbins) in Jerusalem. [Nazirite means consecrated.]

 Nabratein/Safed is one of 4 holiest cities being a center of mystic Kabbalists, and had synagogue(s) in mid/late Roman times.

4. Perhaps: Jesus read from book of Isaiah.

Compare the Torah shrine/"ark" found at Nabratein (synagogue).

5. NT Nazareth &/or traditional "Nazareth" is not mentioned in "pre-Christian" Jewish sources (like Josephus, bible, Rabbinic, maps, etc).

 Nabratein is n.e. of Safed which is mentioned in Josephus (Sepph) etc. Nasor/Hazor is mentioned in the Apocrypha.

6. Not any much evidence that the traditional "Nazareth" was very [well/highly] inhabited (city) in the NT JC's times [between pre-pottery Neolithic/MBA/IA and post-IA tombs / 1st cent a.d.], it was "small size/unimportant/insignificant  hamlet" etc, (apart from "some remains/house(s) (walls) date to time of Jesus" claims, and "many graves/traces"). [Its possible  though that Nazareth was insignificant, separated, small, peasants, not-on-main-routes which might be significant if Jesus home/upbringing was poor? (And JC moving to Capernaum maybe like moving to city?)]

 Safed/Nabratein has evidence of structures as early as 1 ad; before that there was pottery but not associated with major structures though [incl bronze age/iron age] (and though early Roman &/or late Hellenistic/Hasmonean remains/coins on the whole / in general "low/few").

7. NT Nazareth was a polis "city/town" (with a synagogue) (like Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Nain, Bethsaida, Sodom, Capernaum, etc) (one of only a few mentioned in the gospels), not a kome "village" (like which only 2 Bethany & Emmaus were named in the gospels). [Though Oxford says there were only a couple of cities mentioned in gospel time(s).]

 Traditional "Nazareth" was "small size / ..." (and no synagogue). [Though Oxford says "Distinctions between the 2 [city & village] were not great, and they were sometimes used interchangeably." (Plus it is reckoned that "Luke's knowledge of the holy land was not always correct".)]

Safed/(Nabratein) is "one of 4 holiest Jewish sites" (and had synagogue(s) like Capernaum, and is mentioned in Josephus), plus the evidences of habitation there we quoted in # 6. [It seems like a twin-city to Capernaum?]

8. No one is certain what meant when Nathanael said "can any good come out of Nazareth" (possibilities include "size", "goodness", graves, peasant, zealots, etc)?

 Nabratein/Safed had some negative associations like the Arab name relates to "place where pigs rot".

Though this point could also apply to the traditional Nazareth which seems to have been small and insignificant etc.

9. Jesus home is elsewhere/later said to be Capernaum. (He "moved from Nazareth to Capernaum".)

 Nabratein is similar and like a sister-city to Capernaum in that both associated with "ark" and synagogue finds, and geographically close, etc.

"Capernaum is a big detour in traveling from Cana to Jerusalem" (re John 2:12).

10. Perhaps compare: Nazareth/Nazara was near Cochaba (&/or [Japhia/Legio]). [Cochaba maybe related to the "son of the star" messianic title?]

"Nazareth" is/was near Sepphoris.

([K Shema] is near) Nabratein/Hazor is near  Sepph/Safed/Saphet/Zefat is near Chorazin?

"Nazareth" is further from NT sites (which are all fairly close vicinity) except for Nain and uncertain-location Cana and "Nazareth".
 Nabratein is nearer NT sites like Chorazin, Bethsaida, Capernaum which are mentioned in the gospels and by Jesus.

11. The location of Cana is said to be unsure. On one hand there are upto 3 sites in sw/Lower Galilee near/north of the traditional "Nazareth".
Though on other hand there are upto 5 possible candidates closer to Safed/Nabratein and/or north/Upper Galilee than  to "Nazareth" and/or Lower Galilee. Cana might even be Gamla to the east of lake Galilee, closer to Nabratein?

[Not sure where Nain was and whether it is closer to "Nazareth" or Nabratein?]

[Nabratein might also be closer to Bethsaida candidate locations?]

12. Joseph/Jesus was a "carpenter"/mason/builder/architect or adept/initiate.

 Keller does mention that modern "Nazareth" had "a surprising number of carpenters [who] run their workshops and sell their wares .... and a variety of ... implements ... are manufactured there."
Also, sources reckon Joseph may have moved to Nazareth near the newly being built Sepphoris for employment.

 Safed & Nabratein have modern & ancient craft/trade connections (incl pottery/stone-vessel fragments, ark/synagogue architecture, "artists quarter where they make and sell pictures and other artistic handicraft", etc. Safed is one of 3 Jewish holy site and a center of the mystic cabala.

13. It has been said that "Nazareth" was not on the/a major/main road/route, (though Keller and map do have a major/military/caravan road/route pass by "Nazareth")?

14. Jesus/Nazareth was associated Naphthali &/or Zebulun, and Dan.
 "Nazareth" is associated with Zebulun.
 Nabratein is associated with Naphthali and Dan  ("house of David"?)

15. The considered possible Aramaic relations of the Nazareth name cast doubt on the Lower Galilee location of Nazareth. [Jesus (spoke Aramaic and) was once called a Samaritian by enemies, which might be a point for the traditional "Nazareth", though perhaps there could be a connection with Aram/Syria?  (Christians, (Zealots, and/or Essenes/Yahad) were called Galileans/Nazarenes.)]
 Nabratein/Hazor is further north (& is "Arabic").

(15./10. Nabratein is in Upper Galilee which was a largely village culture area further from the arm  of Herod Antipas / Sepphoris (and with Zealot centers later).
 "Nazareth" in "Jewish Galilee" is right in Herod  Antipas' / Sepphoris' vicinity. (Though Jesus did somewhat respect Roman authority.))

16. Nazareth/Nazarene has a disputed origin/meaning of its name, one being natsar "watch/guard/keep", or netser "branch", etc.
 Safed means "lookout", and there was a 7 branched menorah found at Nabratein.

17. The name of the NT &/or traditional Nazareth/Nazarene (&/or Nazirite) is variously/alternatively spelled Nazareth, Nazarene, Nitrat, Nasareth/Natsareth, Nazaret, Nazara (Greek), an-Nasira/an-Nasiri/Nasara (Arab (Nisba)), Nasoraya, [Hnwsyr], Nasoreans, etc.
 Nabratein is variously/alternatively spelled  Nabratein/Nabartine, Nevoraya/Nevoraia, Niburay(y)a(h), etc. It is also not far from Nasor/Hazor mentioned in the Apocrypha.

18. Khallat es-Siddiq by Nabratein might be related to the "Teacher of Righteousness", James the Just, the Just One ((Jesus) in Acts)?

this regime and God

 
This western world regime elite and God are mean can cruel and injust because of doing the following things to me:

- They forcing me to suffer hearing this constant neighbours heat pump ringing sound in my flat all day and night every day and night for 3 years now, and it is impossible to block out because the type of sound it is it penetrates regardless, and everyone refuses to do anything about it. This is mean cruel TORTURE being forced to hear it all day and night every day and night and not be allowed to react under threat of police or mental health act. How would you like to be forced to hear a constant ringing sound all day and night every day and night?

- They forcing me to eat and drink fluoridated water and food every mouthful every meal eveyr day and to suffer the brain & body abilities & health hindering effects all day every day. Nothing is more mean and cruel to be forced to eat something which negatively effects your brain abilities.

- They have me trapped in this bad flat and not able to shift because of the housing crisis and because prices/rents way too excessive.

- I am being blocked from being able to find out who my real maternal grandfather was because of stupid "family" sensitivities and because stupid excessive privacy laws (even though the grandparents are dead).

- No one ever gives me any positive feedback/response for all my hard work studies discoveries.

- They have me trapped under the Mental Health Act compulsory treatment and medication support 3 days a week for the last 16 months causing me more hell trouble. They lied about me having hallucinations and being paranoid etc.

- They made me in 40s and always-been single and alone.

- The power company won't stop messing me around trying to force smartmeters and having meter readers messing me around causing me troubles.

And many more things too if those 8 examples are not mean cruel hell bad enough. Not to mention mean other wrongs they are doing to others too even if they aren't suffering as bad things as I am.

And no one seems to care a stuff. I just want friends etc to say gee mate that really is such awful wrong being done to you that you are suffering. But no one does, they say nothing or they say oh but maybe ... or cut me off.

One day I will die and then no more mean cruel hell wrongs will be kept being done to me. And some day everyone doing these evils to us will pay even if there is no God, and everyone who didn't care will too.

Did Jesus truly exist?

In early sources Jesus was a great religious teacher and miracle worker who was believed to be the messiah and the son of God and was crucified and was claimed to have risen again.
At this stage Jesus is not agreed to be proven by anyone to have existed or not. But there are a number of good evidences that he surely did exist.
The bible says where 2 or 3 witnesses confirm it can be regarded as true, though it does warn about bearing false witness.
Jesus is claimed in the bible etc to have been seen by 12 disciples/apostles, 70/72 disciples, the 70/72 Sanhedrim (council of elders), 150 christians (Acts 1), over 500 witnesses (1 Corinthians), the 5000 that he fed with loaves and fishes.

Documentary evidence:
Jesus is attested in the bible. But the bible is not one book but many books. Jesus is testified in 27 books of the Bible written by 8 authors: Matthew, Mark, Luke (Luke, Acts), John (John, 1 & 2 & 3 John, Revelation/Apocalypse), Paul (14 books from Romans to Hebrews), James, Peter (1 & 2 Peter), Jude. There have been discovered some early manuscripts of New Testament books including the Bodmer Papyrus fragment of John's gospel of the time of Trajan 98-117 ad and/or the Rylands papyrus fragment of John from before 125-150 ad, and the Old Syriac Palimpset of Sinai copy of the gospels derived from a Greek text of 150 or 2nd century ad.
Jesus is attested in a book of sayings and miracles of Jesus from 140-160 ad found in 3 scraps of papyrus.
The books grouped together as the New Testament Apocrypha also attest Jesus.
Jesus might be attested in the Talmud if Yeishu ha-Notzri is based on Jesus.
Jesus is mentioned in Josephus who was born about the time Jesus died and wrote in 94 ad not long after Jesus died.
Jesus is attested in a number of historical sources including Tacitus 112 ad, Suetonius 65-125/135 ad, Pliny the Younger 112 ad, Lucian of Samosata, Orosius.
Jesus is attested in the church fathers including Africanus 215 ad, Origen 200 ad.
In the Dead Sea Scrolls there is the Crucified Messiah scroll which refers to a messiah who was the shoot of Jesse and branch of David, and who was put to death and suffered crucifixion for the sins of men. Also in the DSS is the Son of God Scroll which refers to the son of God and son of the Most High which is very similar to the same description in Luke 1:32 & 35.
The 'Acts of Pilate' are possibly historical verification of Jesus & the crucifiction. Though it is doubtful that the Acts are genuine. They are possibly refered to in/by [Justin Martyr &/or Tertullian]?
"O Yose ha-Gelili / Jose the Galilean, heal me!" might relate to the healer Jesus son of Joseph of Galilee?
Perhaps the saying of 'Tammuz' that "great Pan is dead" in the reign of Tiberias (15-37) is connected with the death of Jesus?

Archaeological evidence:
Jesus is mentioned in the James ossuary inscription which says James is brother of Jesus and son of Joseph.
The 3 nails found in Caiaphas' ossuary are believed to have been the nails used in Jesus' crucifixion. De Sauley found crucifixion nails near the sepulchre (not sure if this is the Holy Sephulchre or the Garden tomb).
There have been found 3 candidates for Jesus tomb: the Holy Sepulchre, the Garden Tomb, and the Talpiot Tomb, with the Garden Tomb being the most likely one.
Wyatt claimed to have found blood of Jesus which dripped on to the Ark under Skull Hill (Calvary/Golgotha). The human blood had a different number of chromosomes to normal human blood.
The Shroud of Turin is considered by some as evidence of Jesus' existence, though it is very doubtful that the shroud dates to Jesus' times.

Experts opinions:
Dr Albright says "no longer any solid basis for dating any of of the NT after ca ad 80", and all NT books were written "sometime between ad 50 and 75".
Dr John Robinson who independently investigated the NT's reliability concluded that NT books written before ad 64, and Matthew "was written as early as ad 40 within 8 years of Christ".
"... Jesus probably existed" (Dawkins)!
An article about Massey's Jesus/Horus theory said "evidence for JC as an historical personage is incontrovertible"!
"Virtually all modern scholars of antiquity agree that Jesus existed historically...."
No one has proven that Jesus did not exist.

Evidence of the disciples and martyrs:
A number of the apostles and early christians were martyred. Why would people suffer such a death for someone who didn't exist?

When was Jesus?

Going by the information in the Bible combined with knowledge of world history we can be sure that Jesus lived sometime in the 60 years between the 10s bc and 30s ad.
Daniel said Jesus would be 69 weeks of 7 years, or 483 years after the decree to rebuild Jerusalem and the Temple.
There are candidates for the Star of Bethlehem between 17 bc and 9 ad including Halley's comet in 12 bc, a conjunction of Jupiter & Saturn in 7/6 bc, a conjunction of Jupiter & Venus in 3 &/or 2 bc.
Jesus was born near the end of Herod the Great's reign 40-4 bc.
Jesus was born in the reign of Augustus Caesar 19 bc-ad 14.
Jesus was born in the time of Quirinus whose dates are 10-7 bc & 6-7 ad.
There was a census when Jesus was born. There were censuses every 14 years, and there were ones in 7/6 bc? and 7 ad.
Jesus was (between 12 and) "about 30" years old in the 15th regnal year of Tiberias (14-37 ad) which would be about 27/28/29 ad?
Jesus was crucified during the rule of Pontius Pilate which ended in 36 ad.
The saying of 'Tammuz' that "great Pan is dead" in the reign of Tiberias (15-37) is possibly connected with the death of Jesus?
The Talmud is the only source which differently places Jesus in the time of the Maccabees a couple/few hundred years before. But some scholars say that the Yeishu ha-Notzri of the Talmud might not even be Jesus, and if he is then the Talmud has certainly evidently misplaced Jesus back to the time of the Maccabees in contrast to all the other early sources.

Where was Jesus?

The bible says Jesus was in Egypt briefly, and Judaea (Jerusalem, Bethlehem), and Samaria, and Galilee (Nazareth, Capernaum, Cana, Nain), and Phoenicia/Lebanon briefly (Tyre/Sidon), all in the Roman Empire. Jesus spoke Aramaic/Syriac.
Some sources claim that Jesus was in India (Aquarian Gospel, Damo Bullen) or in America (Book of Mormon), however these are only late 20th century sources and there is no proof that Jesus was ever in those places.

Was Jesus of Nazareth or a Nazarene?

The gospel says there was an Old Testament prophecy that Jesus would be a Nazarene, but it is said that this prophecy is not known/found in the Old Testament, though some of the prophets did refer to the messiah as a notzri "sprout/shoot". The Nazarene prophecy has been suggested to be the verse in Judges about Samson being a Nazarite (meaning "consecrated"), but experts in Hebrew say that Nazarene or notzri and Nazarite have different "z" letters in the Hebrew alphabetic script (tzadhe and tzayin)?
"There is no evidence that Jesus was a Nazarite or took the Nazarite vow." "Nazarites didn't drink wine but Jesus did." Though Jesus is often supposed to have had long hair.
The Talmud mentions one Yeishu ha-Notzri who might be Yeshua/Jesus of Nazareth, though scholars say Yeishu may not be Jesus.
Jesus was called the sprout/shoot of Jesse and branch of David.
There was a sect of Jews called the Notsarim and a sect called the Nozrei ha-Brit "Keepers of the Convenant" in the times of Jesus, but some say these were separate to Jesus and the messianic/christian sect.
Both Matthew and Luke confirm that Jesus lived in a city/town called Nazareth. An Old Testament prophecy also confirms that the messiah would be in the land of Zebulun and Naphtali in the Galilee area.
Some scholars say that the evidence is that the place called Nazareth in southwest/Lower Galilee was not a city and didn't have a synagogue in Jesus' times. So this "Nazareth" might not be the real Nazareth of Jesus, though it still might be the real one.
There are other candidates for the city/town Nazareth including Nabratein in north/Upper Galilee.

Reference list of the 6 different names/words mentioned:
natzir/nazir/Nazarite "consecrated/devoted"
Nozrei ha-brit "Keepers of the Convenant"
Notsarim
ntsr/netzer/netser/notzri/ha'Notsri "(the) shoot/sprout/branch"
nazoraios/Nazarene
notsrat/natseret/natzeret/natzaret/Nazareth.

Was Jesus "an Aryan" or a Jew?

Some people have claimed that Jesus was an Aryan beng the son of a Gallic Roman solider named Pandera.
However the bible makes it clear that on his mother's side Jesus was a descendant of David and Judah and Jacob/Israel and Abraham, while on his father's side he was the son of God.
Pilate put a superscription on the cross saying "Jesus of Nazareth king of the Jews".
There is no proof that Jesus had any father let alone a Roman or Gallic or Aryan one.
The few Jewish sources which identify Jesus as or with the son of Pandera or son of Stada are highly suspect and unreliable. It is also odd for Aryans to use Jewish sources for the theory.
At the time of Jesus the Jews thought Jesus was the son of Joseph not Pandera or Stada.
Wyatt claimed to have got a sample of Jesus blood which dripped onto the Ark under Skull Hill (Calvary/Golgotha), and tests showed it had a different number of chromosomes to normal human blood, which would confirm he was the son of God.
Jesus himself identified himself as a Jew eg in the chapter with the verse where he says "salvation is of the Jews".

Is Jesus the Jewish Messiah/Christ/Annointed One?

- The name Yeshua was found in the Torah in the Bible Skip Code.
- John the Baptist was given a sign of the Spirit resting on Jesus and a voice from heaven.
- Jewish astrologers discussed an ancient prophecy that the Messiah would be born when Jupiter and Saturn came to gether in Pisces. There was such a conjunction in 7/6 bc around about the time of Jesus' birth.
- Jesus fulfilled many prophecies including these:
preceeded by a forerunner/Elijah (Isa 40)
born of the tribe of Judah (Gen 49)
born of a virgin (seed of the woman in Genesis, Isa 7:14, Matt 1:18),
born in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2),
slaughter of babies at Ramah,
a Nazarene (Judges, prophets),
entered Jerusalem riding on a colt (Zech 9, "Moses on Ass in Temple"),
appears 483 years after decree to restore Jerusalem (Daniel),
betrayed for 30 pieces of silver (Genesis, Zech 11),
silent before accusers (Isa 53),
garments divided and lots cast for garment (Psalm 22)
no bone broken (Psalm 34),
passover lamb of God (Abel's sacrifice, Exodus passover),
sacrificed son of God (Abraham offers Isaac).
hanged on a cross/tree (Moses' Nehushtan serpent on cross),
buried with the rich (Isa 53).
3 days in the tomb (Jonah).
The chances/odds/probability of anyone fulfilling all these is pretty unlikely.
- The meanings of the names of the 10 patriarchs in Genesis from Adam to Noah are "man", "appointed", "mortal", "sorrow", "the blessed God", "shall come down", "teahcing", "his death shall bring", "despairing", "comfort".
- Jesus was annointed. The spirit came down like a dove above Jesus' head at his baptism. The woman poured oil/purfume on Jesus.
- The demons testified that Jesus was the son of God.
- Jesus performed many signs and miracles and healings.
- The baby John the Baptist leaped in the womb when the pregnant Mary came near.
- There has not "yet" ever been any other messiah to appear to the Jews, though there have been many who claimed to be the messiah during the last 2000 yrs, and though the bible warns that a false messiah or antichrist is going to come in the future.
- The name Yeshua has been related to y'mach/yimah sh'mo/shemo wezkhro/vezikhro/v'zichrono which can mean either "may his name & memory be praised" or "may his name & memory be striken/blotted-out".
- "The high priest answered him, "I adjure you by the living God, that you tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God." Jesus said to him, "You have said it."" (Matt 26:54. John 10:34-36.)

"I know men and I tell you, Jesus Christ is no mere man. Between him and every other person in the world there is no possible term of comparison. Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and I have founded empires. But on what did we rest the creations of our genius? Upon force. Jesus Christ founded his empire upon love; and at this hour, millions would die for him." - Napoleon.
"I search in vain history to find similar to Jesus Christ, or anything which can approach the gospel. Neither history nor humanity, nor ages, nor nature, offer me anything with which I am able to compare it or to explain it. Here everything is extraordinary." - H. G. Wells, British writer, 1866-1946.
"By this test, Jesus stands first. I am a historian, I am not a believer, but I must confess as a historian that this penniless preacher from Nazareth is irrevocably the very center of history. Jesus Christ is easily the most dominant figure in all history. Christ is the most unique person of history. No man can write a history of the human race without giving first and foremost place to the penniless teacher of Nazareth." - H. G. Wells, British writer, 1866-1946.

Was Jesus "raised up as a spirit being"?

- The disciples saw Jesus (Luke 24:40; John 2:19, 29), you can't usually see spirits. "They will look on him who they pierced".

- Jesus ate fish (Luke 24:43).
- Jesus breathed on them (John 20:22).
- The tomb was & is empty.
- "If Christ be not raised our faith is in vain".
- They heared him speak. You can't usually hear spirits speak.
- Jesus sat down at the right hand of the father, which seems like a body person not a spirt person.
- He is coming again but there is no mention of re-incarnation.

Did Jesus raise from the dead?

- The tomb was/is empty, no body has ever been found anywhere.
- "If Christ be not raised our faith is in vain".

- The abbreviation INRI of the words in the cross superscription is YHWH/JHVH in Hebrew.
- The name Jesus "God + salvation/saves" has Jhvh/God in it. The Arabic/Islamic name for Jesus is Isa which is similar to Isaiah which combines Isa & Yah.
- "Yehoshua/Jesus is Yhwh/Jhvh with an sh put in it"?
- Jesus made clay when he healed the blind man, like the Creator in Genesis.
- Jesus allowed people to worship him, but the bible says not to worship men/angels.
- Jesus is called the "Only begotten" "Son of (the most high) God". How can God have a son that is not also God too? "Son of God = incarnation of God". It can't be just be a direct creation of God, it is more than that.
Proverbs 30:4 "what is his son's name?"
"Declared to be the son of God ...." Romans 1:4.
"God ... has spoken to us in his son" (Hebrews 1:1-2).
Some demons/spirits cried out that Jesus was son of god.
Roman soldier at death of Jesus said "truly this was the son of god" and/or "a righteous man" (Matt 27:54; Mk 15:39).

- Jesus came from heaven/above (John 6:38; 8:23). Jesus existed before he was born ("before Abraham was I Am", "from ancient times" Micah 5:2, "in the beginning" John 1, "where do you come from" said Pilate). But Jesus is not an angel: "For to which of the angels did God ever say, "you are my son; today I have become your Father"" etc. (Hebrews 1:5 etc).
- The spirit of God and the spirit of Christ seem to be the same in Romans 8:9.

Is God 3 in 1?

- God says "We/Us/Our" in Genesis 1 & 2. Allah also says we/us/our in the Koran.

- The papacy has a false trinity of White Pope (father), Jesuit Black Pope (Jesus the son) and Red Pope.
- 3 letters in YHWH.

Did Jesus have brothers? (Did Mary have other children?)

"But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to her firstborn son" Matthew 1:25 (implies Joseph did know Mary afterwards.)

"While he was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold, his mother and his brothers stood outside, seeking to speak to him. One said to him, "Behold, your mother and your brothers stand outside, seeking to speak to you."" 12:46-47.

"Isn't this the carpenter's son?  Isn't his mother called Mary, and his brothers, James, Joses, Simon, and Judas? Aren't all of his sisters with us?" Matthew 13:55-56.

"His mother and his brothers came, and standing outside, they sent to him, calling him. A multitude was sitting around him, and they told him, "Behold, your mother, your brothers, and (your sisters) are outside looking for you."" Mark 3:31-32.

"Isn't this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, Joses, Judah, and Simon?  Aren't his sisters here with us?"" Mark 6:3.

"His mother and brothers came to him, and they could not come near him for the crowd. It was told him by some saying, "Your mother and your brothers stand outside, desiring to see you."" 8:19.

"After this, he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, his brothers, and his disciples; and they stayed there a few days." 2:12.

"His brothers therefore said to him, "Depart from here, and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works which you do. For no one does anything in secret, and himself seeks to be known openly.  If you do these things, reveal yourself to the world." For even his brothers didn't believe in him. ....
But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but as it were in secret." 7:3-10.

"All these with one accord continued steadfastly in prayer and supplication, along with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers." Acts 1:14.

"But of the other apostles I saw no one, except James, the Lord's brother." Galatians 1:19.

"To the lady chosen by God and to her children" 2 John 1 (this may be written to Mary who Jesus entrusted to John at the Cross?)

It is not certain which James and which Mary is refered to in the verses which say "Mary the mother of James ((the less) and (of) Joses)" in 27:56 & 16:1 & 24:10.

The James ossuary inscription says "James brother of Jesus, son of Joseph".

Is Jesus Melchizedek?

While it is true that Pslams and Hebrews does imply that Jesus is our great high priest after the order of Melchizedek, and is a king like Melchizedek, it doesn't seem to be true that the historical Melchizedek in Genesis was Jesus (as the pre-incarnation angel of the Lord). Melchizedek in Genesis seemsto have been a real human being. Even though his parents are not mentioned this doesn't mean he didn't have any parents. Genesis gives no indication of Melchizedek being an angel or the Lord. The opinion that Melchizedek is probably Shem is supported by the seeming evidence. Jesus is thus a descendant of Shem/Melchizedek.
So on the one hand Jesus is a 2nd Melchizedek or the one greater Melchizedek, but on the other hand he is not the historical Melchizedek of Genesis.

Were papists, King Arthur, Robin Hood, Christmas, Mormons, etc christians?

Some of these people were/are indeed claimed to be Christians in early source texts.
Arthur is said to have carried the image of Mary & cross of Christ at Guinnion and/or Badon in the HB & AC.
Robin Hood is said to have been a devotee of God and the son of God and Mary and Mary Magdalene in the Little Geste.
These people might have been real Christians.
However, they might not have been real christian. We need to be be aware that some Roman sources seem to have falsely combined Christian names/persons with non-Christian names/persons. For example the early popes list seems to really subtly match the list of Roman emperors, eg pope Alexander matches Trajan who has 3 associations with the name Alexander, and pope Pius 1 matches Antoninus Pius. So in sources written by these people the "(Lord) Jesus (Christ)" probably really either Zeus or Jupiter Capitol (same 2 initials etc) or Julius Caesar (same 2 initials, comet-star, Divus Julius, etc) or Augustus (Divi Filius "son of God") or Claudius.
Revelation in the bible confirms that christians need to come out of the harlot Babylon who seems to be a type of Rome and of false mixed religion. Since the synod of Whitby in 664 to recent years the popists have been tricking christians into believing the pope has the keys or authority of Peter of Matthew 16. A popish forum poster said to me "beware of your paster, the Vatican sent out many Jesuits as false church pastors".
However, when things are secret or subtle it is very hard to be sure of whether something is true or not.
Having said that, there may be true Christians in all churches/denominiations/sects. There are good and bad people in all religions and political groups etc.
The bible gives a number of evidences for who is or is not a christian or messianic including by their fruits you shall know them, those who bow, those who keep his commandments, they love one another, they do not just say, they have faith with works, not good and evil coming out of same mouth, if they confess Jesus.

Was Ron Wyatt a fraud/liar?

There are certainly claims of critics that Ron Wyatt was a liar or fraud. There are some dubious things in some of Wyatt's discoveries claims. However, alot of the things like the site of the Ark of the Covenant are hard to prove either way and they have not been either proven or disproven despite claims they have been. Some of Wyatt's discoveries like the one of Joseph in Egypt have actually been independently proven right by other scholars like myself.

What is the correct spelling/pronounciation of Jesus' name?

Jesus is an English-Latin version of the name Iesous in the Greek New Testament. Jesus was a Jew/Israelite/Hebrew, and he spoke Aramaic and I'm not sure what the Aramaic version of the name was. Some Jews did speak Greek at the time. The name Jesus is the same name as Joshua and Jeshua in the Old Testament. Messianics say the correct Hebrew version is Yeshua, and this name is found in the Torah using the skip code, though nonmessianic/nonchristian Jews dispute that this is the correct Hebrew name for Jesus. Some say Jesus is the same person as Yeishu ha-Notzri in the Talmud, though some scholars say it is not certain that these 2 persons are the same person. Some messianic christians claim the name is Yashua which is similar to their Yahua version of Jehovah/Yahweh. The Arabic/Moslem version of Jesus is Isa/Issa.
God knows all languages and he probably doesn't mind people using their own nation's language version of Jesus' name.

Vortigern's dates are 400 (HB), 426 (Hergest), 447 (HB), 449 (ASC, Ethelwerd), 455 (ASC).
Though Vortigern is mentioned by some as a candidate for Arthur, and/or Arthur might have been Vortimer who was during Vortigern's reign?

Arthur came after raids by Scots/Irish/Gwydel and Picts which lead to the Britons appealing to the Romans to aid them, and when the Romans ignored appeals they called in the Saxons to aid them.

Arthur is not mentioned by that name in the Gallic Chronicles of 452 & 511.

Arthur comes after St Germanus of Auxerre in the HB & HRB. Some think that Badon in Bede may be the Halleluyah Victory of Germanus. Arthur was dux bellorum, Germanus was dux proelli or dux belli.
Germanus has dates: came with Patrick (HB), 429 (Halleluyah Victory), 447 (2nd visit), 480/480s (Vita/Life of Germanus).

-----

Arthur comes after Leo & Easter date in the AC. The date of Badon is considered by some to maybe be connected with the 84 yrs Easter cycle (easter cycle start/end date 438 to Badon 482). The 2nd battle of Badon coincides with an Easter date.
Easter dates from sources include: 438 (McCarthy & OCroinin), 453 (Leo, AC), Dionysius Exiguus 532 (EH, Florence), 626 (ASC), 634 (ACb), 640 (ASC), 655 (ASC), 661 (Pontesbury, ASC), 665 (Badon, AC), 685 (ASC), 703 (Adamnan EH), 710 (EH), 716 (ASC, EH), 755 (Elvod, OEC), 768 (AC), 774 (ASC).

The 128 yrs from Vortigern to Badon in Hergest has been dated: 390-518 (Kamlesh G), 425/426/428-554 (Hergest, CB, Jones), 449-577.

Arthur's father Uther Pendragon is associated with a sidus or comet star. Dates for comets include 441/442 / 5th cent (Northampton, Idatius/Marcellinus), 451/453 (Halley's, Atilla), 498/499 (Chronicle of Edessa / Roger of Wendover), 1500 ya / 500 ad (Encke's, Forsyth Petroglyph)? 530/535 (Halley's, Michael the Syrian / John of Ephesus)? 538 (Camlan, Roger of Wendover), "Pendragon comet 574" (Hassell), 650 (AC), 676 (AC), 677 (Ethelwerd), 678 (ASC), 684 (Broomstar, Halley's, 1 source of Nuremberg chronicles, Chinese), 729 (ASC), 891 (ASC), 905 (ASC), 975 (ASC), 995 (ASC), 1066 (ASC), 1097 (ASC).
Though scholars say that Arthur's surname Mabuter in the HB may be a title meaning horrible son rather than meaning son of Uther, which means Uther and Arthur might be the same person? *

Arthur comes after Ambrosius/Aurelius in the HB & HRB. Arthur lead at Badon in the HB may match Ambrosius seems to have lead at Badon in the DEB. Ambrosius has dates 429-450/456 (1st victory, Bede)?

Arthur's battles are just after mention of Octa in the HB.
Arthur fought Osla/Ossa at Badon in Rhonabwy, which might match with Octa/Ossa in the HRB.
Octa/Aesc has dates 455 (ASC), 456, 457 (ASC), 465 (ASC), 466, 473 (ASC), 488 (ASC).

Pharamond is one of the knights of the Round Table in some later stories.

Arthur is implied to have fought Saxons and "specifically Kentishmen" in the HB (HB, Jackson, Evans). The Jutes and Kent have dates 449-473 (ASC), 488 (ASC), 552 (ASC), 560-568 (ASC), 596 (ASC), 601 (ASC), 604 (ASC), 616-617 (ASC), 633 (ASC), 640 (ASC), 664 (ASC), 673 (ASC), 676 (ASC), after 685 (ASC), 686-687 (ASC).

Arthur's dates range in early traditional sources (and in modern scholars) is: Draco & Ursa (Hitching), 3349 bc (Waddell), Bronze Age (Drou or Dale), Ursus 776-742 bc (me), the bear in Daniel, Deoartavo(i)s 47-67 (me), 180 (LAC, Infopedia) 350/383 (Morris)? 421 (Arthur &/or Gildas, CMSM &/or another source)? 450/454 (Grail, Malory), not 452 (no Arthur, Gallic chronicles), 470 (Badon, HRB), not 511 (no Arthur, Gallic chronicles), 516/518 (Badon, AC, 24 kings), 519 (Arthur subdues Ireland), 537/539 (Camlan, AC/WA), 540 (Shakespeare & the Welsh)? 542 (Camlan, HRB), 546 (Badon, one AC version), 554 (Badon, Hergest), "abdicated in 574 (541 yrs after the crucifiction)", 576 (Camlan, Hergest), 631-650 (Arthus, Swedish king list), 640 (Shakespeare & the Welsh)? 650 (Arthur, Wace, Morris), 700 (Infopedia), 807 (Arthgen, AC, Evans, me), Alan of Brittany (Zoetropo).

Arthur is contemporary of pope Supplicius in the HRB. The Arthur candidate of some Riothamus was contemporary of pope Simplicius.Supplicius is surely Simplicius 468-483, he is not likely to be the only other possible candidate Symmachus 446 or 485 or 498-514 or 522.

Arthur might have been in the gap between the 1st & 2nd Bretwaldas 491-556/560, and a 2nd Arthur might have been in the gap between the 7th & 8th Bretwaldas 670-802?

Arthur's battles might have been in the no gains gap 519-552 of the ASC.

Arthur fought Cerdic in the HRB. Caradoc is (a knight of the Round Table in) some King Arthur stories.
Cerdic's dates range is: interpreter of Hengist (HRB), 494/495-516/534 (ASC). (See also Ceretic of Elmet below.)

Arthur was contemporary of Geraint/Grant/Gerentius/Wuthgirete of Devon in some stories. Geraint's dates are either 501 (ASC) or 710 (Ethelwerd, ASC).

Arthur was contemporary of Gildas (Sts Lives, DEB), and Badon was 44 yrs after Gildas' bday or on Gildas' bday, and was 10 or 44 yrs before Gildas wrote.
