💢 "The argumentation begins with the equation of Jesus and Lucifer based on biblical metaphors: In Revelation 22:16, Jesus refers to himself as the morning star, while Isaiah 14:12 mentions the morning star that fell from heaven, which is traditionally identified with 'Lucifer.' Building on this, a chain of references unfolds about the angel of the abyss, Abaddon, from Revelation 9:11. This reference is linked through the addition of the 45th and 47th US presidencies with numerical games and anchored in the square, basin-like design of the 9/11 memorial as a phenomenon of the abyss. 💢 A central role is played by 'Elvis Presley.' The syllable 'El' in his name refers to angelic designations like Elohim, while his love for capes and his musical worship are interpreted as a precursor to the abyss angel. Quite clear visual evidence is provided by comparisons between Elvis, ancient Roman sarcophagi, statues from the 3rd century BC, and the Statue of Liberty, whose broken chain resembles a Lucifer statue from 1848 and symbolizes liberation from the abyss. Moreover, identical scars appear on the hands of 'Don El' and Elvis, which are interpreted as mimicked stigmata - the wounds of Christ - corresponding to the biblical warning about the Antichrist, who disguises himself as an angel of light and deceives even the elect with false signs. 💢 Finally, the evidence extends to historiography. The thousand years of the Middle Ages, the so-called 'Dark Ages,' represent the time when Lucifer was imprisoned in the dark abyss. His subsequent release manifests in the historical 'Dark Day' of 1780, when the sky darkened, and is directly related to the geographical formation of the 'Purgatory Chasm.' The accumulation of these indications calls for vigilance and discernment in a time of great seduction." 🍿👇🏻 #Jesus #Luzifer #ElvisPresley (translated)

Die USA haben Syrien 36 antike Werke im Wert von über fünf Millionen Dollar zurückgegeben, die überwiegend aus dem Metropolitan Museum of Art und von privaten Sammlern stammen, darunter eine über 450 Kilogramm schwere Kalkstein-Skulptur aus Palmyra, die während der Zerstörungen durch die IS-Miliz geplündert wurde. #Raubkunst #Kultur #Antiquitäten

In der Stadt Twer, wo vor den Parlamentswahlen in Russland eine große Unruhe wegen Gerüchte um Mobilmachung herrscht, engagieren sich Bürger in der Restaurierung von antiken Holzhäusern, während sie ihre Unsicherheiten und Herausforderungen, wie hohe Inflation und Benzinmangel, teilen, und gleichzeitig wissen, dass ihre Stimmen kaum das bestehende politische System verändern werden. #Russland #DumaWahl #Putin

Regeringen måste byta ut den aktivistiska ledningen för Medelhavsmuseet. Jag har tidigare uppmärksammat hur museets Nakba-utställning i praktiken framställde Israels grundande som en katastrof – mitt under ett brinnande krig i Mellanöstern. Nu avslöjar Kvartal att Medelhavsmuseets nya utställning om demokrati i stort sett skriver ut antikens greker ur demokratins historia. I stället möts besökaren av en migrantflytväst och berättelser om strukturell rasism. Budskapet är tydligt: problemen sägs komma från högern, lösningarna från vänstern, medan det antika arv som lade grunden för den västerländska demokratin tonas ned eller osynliggörs. Hur länge ska statliga museer tillåtas fungera som plattformar för politisk aktivism i stället för kunskapsförmedling? https://t.co/Du5XrC8bdK #Medelhavsmuseet #Demokrati #Politik

U Splitu je otkriveno arheološko groblje iz kasne antike i srednjeg vijeka, koje se prostire na 800 kvadrata uz istočni zid Dioklecijanove palače, a dosad je pronađeno 70 grobova, što fascinira turiste i arheologe koji se nadaju daljnjim otkrićima dok radovi i istraživanja traju. #Split #arheologija #kasnaantika

Der Artikel diskutiert die politische Bedeutung der Besetzung der schwarzen Schauspielerin Lupita Nyong'o als Helena in einer Adaption der klassischen Antike, indem er auf den Einfluss von Colorism innerhalb schwarzer Gemeinschaften hinweist und argumentiert, dass künstlerische Werke immer ihre zeitlichen Kontexte widerspiegeln, unabhängig von ihren historischen Vorbildern. #Helena #Colorism #SelbstbewussteÄsthetik
