What if the real secret under Egypt's sands… has finally been unearthed?In this jaw-dropping episode, we explore shocking reports that a Stargate — an ancient portal device — was discovered beneath the Egyptian desert, near the Temple of Abydos. Known for its strange hieroglyphs resembling helicopters and spacecraft, this site may be more than symbolic art — it could be a map to the stars… or a literal gate to other worlds.Sources claim a sealed chamber hidden beneath the sands was excavated quietly under military protection — and that what they found inside changed everything. Advanced technology, non-human inscriptions, and a device unlike anything seen before… buried for thousands of years.Was this the real purpose behind decades of secret excavations? Have modern governments kept this hidden from the world? And is it now being studied in black budget programs — or already activated?

Ramesses had a lot to plan for, in his first year of rule (c.1292 BCE). Staying in Waset / Luxor, the new pharaoh began building work on his tomb (KV7) and his memorial temple (The Ramesseum). Archaeological records testify to both of these projects. Then, the King immortalised his late father, the Osiris Sety I, in scenes of worship at Karnak. Finally, Ramesses left Waset, heading north; but he stopped at Abdju / Abydos on his way. There to commune with Osiris (Sety) once more, and to address some glaring issues...

Although pyramids are similar in design, many may have had different or dual functions. The authors propose that ancient Egypt developed and controlled an elaborate power system that was centered around Giza and as far south as Abydos. They believe that the underground structures, channels, and cavities that surround ancient Pyramid structures were part of an immense industrial complex, including gigantic earth batteries. The authors believe evidence indicates that the Great Pyramid on the Giza Plateau had the ability to electrically charge, or change the molecular structure of water, giving it unique properties. We believe the ancient Egyptians created a fourth form of electrically-charged water, giving it unique properties. James Ernest Brown calls this "Earthmilk Ancient Energy." All pyramids were connected to the Nile River, and there is physical evidence that water from the Nile River circulated through their passageways and chambers by way of man-made channels both above and under the ground.DR. J. J. HURTAK, Ph.D., Ph.D. and Dr. DESIREE HURTAK, Ph.D., MS. Sc. are founders of The Academy For Future Science, an international non-governmental organization (NGO) that works to bring cooperation between science and spirituality through the positive use of consciousness. Dr. J.J. Hurtak and Dr. Desiree Hurtak are social scientists, archeologists and Futurists. Dr. J.J. Hurtak has a Ph.D. from the University of California and a second Ph.D., from the University of Minnesota. Together, the Hurtaks have written several books, including Overself Awakening and their most recent co-authored with physicist Dr. Elizabeth Rauscher, entitled Mind Dynamics in Space and Time. They are also well-known for their inspirational music, including their CD Sacred Name Sacred Codes with collaborative music by Steven Halpern, the renowned German singer and composer, Jocelyn Smith, recently honored by the German government, and for their graphic films, such as Merkabah and The Light Body for which they have won over 15 national and international awards. Their latest graphic film is called Gates of Light. Drs. Hurtaks together have traveled throughout the world to investigate ancient cultures and to work closely with indigenous people, including the Zulu Shaman Credo Mutwa, about whom they recently produced an award winning documentary called Voice of Africa. They have also worked with the Xavante Indians (Brazil) and indigenous leaders in the Andes. They are respected archeologists having worked both in Mexico and Egypt and were part of the team that first uncovered the mysterious Tomb of Osiris (1997) beneath the Giza Plateau. They also worked within the pyramids of Mexico and Egypt doing acoustic testing where they showed extensive sound tones built into the architectural design of the various temples and tombs. They have also spoken at various universities throughout the world on the power of music showing how it is a transformational tool for health and increasing the cognitive powers of the mind. They are both also Evolutionary Leaders along with such notables as Barbara Marx Hubbard, Bruce Lipton, Neal Donald Walsh, Deepak Chopra and many more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

Our take on Trump's return to the White House, becoming the 47th President of the United States: One of the main channels that might affect Egypt's economy is the fact that Trump's main economic policies might cause an upward pressure on the USD globally. Trump is pro expansionary fiscal policies, and likely to try to boost businesses in the US through tax cuts. This, in turn, might imply some inflationary pressures, which means the Fed might need to revise its pace of easing, that easing was long awaited for by the EMs in general to relief some of the pressure on their currencies. Besides, Trump's expected trade protectionism through tariffs means lower pressure on US current account, which also might mean a stronger dollar. In addition, such kind of trade policies might trigger some fears of a negative impact on the Chinese economy, causing some risk aversion in global financial markets that will eventually affect EMs cost of borrowing.The head of the EGX said that six temporarily listed companies will offer their shares on the stock exchange during H1 2025. Regarding the offering of the companies “Safi” and “Wataniya”, he said that the procedures for listing the two companies have not yet begun, but we are anticipating them soon.Around 500 Turkish garment manufacturers expressed interest in investing in Egypt last year with the total proposed investments amounting to around USD 5 bn, head of the Federation of Egyptian Industry's apparel chamber said. Some 50 Turkish companies have already taken steps to move their operations over to Egypt, investing around USD 150 mn.Government sources said that the average bond issuances in the international markets range between USD2.5 billion and USD3 billion annually until 2028.The government is in discussions with the private sector to finalize studies on setting a more profitable feed-in tariff rate, the set price that the government pays for the electricity projects generate, for its initial phase of waste-to-energy (WtE) projects, a government source said. The new tariffs aim to ensure a good return on investment for companies currently making investments in the sector.China's JA Solar will supply 1.25 GW worth of solar panels for AMEA Power's Abydos 2 project, located in Aswan's Benban, under an agreement with project builder China Energy Engineering Corporation, the solar panel manufacturer said in a statement. No details about the cost of the agreement were disclosed.UAE-based Nas Investments Holding submitted a mandatory tender offer to acquire an additional 57.5% stake in EGX-listed fertilizers player EgyFert (SMFR). The move would bring Nas' total holding in the company to 90% through the acquisition of an additional 5.5 million shares. If Nas hits its acquisition target, the total transaction would be valued at EGP522.5 million, with Nas paying EGP95.0 per EgyFert share, implying a 2024e annualized PE of 8.5x. Nas did not put forward a minimum acceptance threshold.Misr Petroleum will establish and revamp 70 fueling and service stations nationwide in FY25/26, building on the 33 stations upgraded in 2H24, Misr Petroleum Chairman Mohamed Maged Bakheet said. The Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA) has issued a decision setting new increased minimum capital requirements for companies operating in the ins. sector, in line with the Unified Ins.

Der Fall von Dorothy Eady ist mysteriös und rätselhaft. 1904 in London geboren, wird Eady erst viel später klar, dass sie die wiedergeborene, ägyptische Priesterin Bentreshyt ist. Bentreshyt lebte vor tausenden Jahren im Tempel von Abydos. Im Ägypten der 50iger, 60iger Jahre arbeitet Eady dann in Abydos, und kann Archäologen punktgenau bei Ausgrabungen helfen. Sie wusste Dinge, die keiner wissen konnte. Und alles nur, weil sie mit drei Jahren die Treppe runtergefallen ist? Daniela Mattes, Autorin und Texterin, hat den Fall untersucht, gibt Erklärungen, und kommt zu dem einzigen sinnigen Schluss: Reinkarnation!

The plan of an honest ruler. Around 1300 BCE, as today, gold was big business. King Sety I personally led an expedition into the eastern desert, to establish a new mining operation. Back in the Nile Valley, high-ranking officials leave monuments testifying to their work delivering, securing, and recording that gold. And thanks to art and artefacts, we can reconstruct the items these gold-workers produced. From the Red Sea Mountains to the Temple of Abydos, we follow the paths of gold… Logo image: Silver and gold statuette of a New Kingdom pharaoh, possibly Sety I (Louvre).

This recording is a transmission done right outside the Osirion in Abydos during a sacred site visit to Egypt. The Osirion is a chamber over 9000 years old dedicated to Osiris.  The transmission was done outside at dusk right at the same time as evening prayers. The unique guidance in this transmission is that the energies from the Higher Beings engraved the central channel very slowly with symbols and hieroglyphs.  An inner engraving was also done on the central line of the central channel which is also referred to as the Golden Thread.  This transmission was meant to slowly and methodically build the central channel much like the high quality of the hieroglyphs found in the Abydos Temple created by Seti I.  You can repeat this transmission over many times to fully build the central channel with this symbolic engraving process going further down the central channel each time you do it. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gene-ang/support

In the Temple of Sety I at Abydos, an out-of-the-way corridor preserves a unique image. The King of Egypt, and his eldest son, wrangle and subdue a bull. This scene appears simple, at first glance. But it has a wealth of deeper symbolism and meanings. In this episode, we explore the idea of Bulls as images of power and violence, and their relationship with gods like Osiris and Seth… Episode logo: Ramesses and the Bull, by artist Brenna Baines (commissioned by The History of Egypt Podcast).

Mes chers camarades, bien le bonjour !Les millénaires passent et les secrets égyptiens trépassent ! On pourrait penser ça concernant le défunt roi Ramsès II…. Et pourtant, le 23 mai 2024, un chercheur français a confirmé une découverte incroyable : le sarcophage du célèbre pharaon a été identifié grâce à un fragment de granite trouvé à Abydos, en Égypte, en 2009 ! Je vous propose donc de revenir sur cette incroyable découverte !Bonne écoute !Un grand merci à Frédéric Payraudeau d'avoir répondu à nos questions !

Send us a Text Message.On this episode of Fabulous Film and Friends we are looking back at two middling, lackluster sci-fi adventures from 1994 that have mysteriously stood the test of time: Stargate, directed by Roland Emmerich and starring Kurt Russell, James Spader, John Diehl, Jaye Davidson, Viveca Lindfors, Erick Avari, Alexis Cruz, Mili Avital, Leon Rippey, French Stewart, and Djimon Hounsou, which was released in October of ‘94 then Star Trek: Generations which was released a month later, was directed by David Carson and starred Patrick Stewart, Jonathan Frakes, Brent Spiner, Levar Burton, Michael Dorn, Marina Sirtis, Gates McFaddon, Malcolm McDowell, Walter Koenig, James Doohan and William Shatner.  I'm Gino Caputi your host, and back for more, especially if Star Trek is to be discussed I have series regular and IT tech Burton Brown, and representing the fresh eyes of the younger, non-cynical generation, author hypnotherapist Joe Field.  The synopses: In Stargate, a crack squad of US Special Forces led by Colonel Jack O'Neill with an assist from archeologist Dr. Daniel Jackson travel through a mysterious circular dimensional portal that was discovered in Giza Egypt in 1928 and kept a secret by the military until the mysteries of the portal could be unlocked. Once on the other side, Jackson and O'Neil discover they are on the planet Abydos with a culture very similar to ancient Egypt. There they befriend the locals and do battle with the god Ra, revealed to be an alien who has enslaved humans on this planet and is intent on destroying the human race on Earth through the Stargate.  In Star Trek Generations a single-minded, pleasure-seeking and murderous Dr. Tholian Soran attempts to destroy an entire solar system in order to get back into a heaven-like, temporal portal in the universe called The Nexus. It is up to the crew of the Starship Enterprise D, led by Captain Jean Luc Picard to stop Soran. Unfortunately, Picard proves to be too weak for the task and finds his ship and crew destroyed, the mission failed and he himself is trapped in the Nexus. Except…Captain James T. Kirk is also in the Nexus having landed in it 78 years earlier the Enterprise B encountered The Nexus on a rescue mission. Picard and Kirk join forces, leave the Nexus and stop Soran through the power of team work.  San Francisco Chronicle Film Critic Mick LaSalle, when summarizing the 1994 Year in Film wrote, “In 20 years will anyone still be watching Stargate? Or Star Trek Generations?”  I agreed with him wholeheartedly that these films were nothing but forgettable, but here we 30 years later and are still watching these works. Add to that, Stargate has had five spinoff  TV series on the subject and they're still planning cinematic reboots. Star Trek Generations was listed implausibly as a one of the great epics in the 2004 book Epic movies and will forever be remembered as the film that killed off Captain Kirk.  So, the burning question is WHY have these films endured?  Find out!

L'émission 28 Minutes du 31/05/2024 Ce vendredi, Jean Quatremer, correspondant européen de “Libération” ; Géraldine Woessner, rédactrice en chef au “Point” ; Pierre Jacquemain, rédacteur en chef de l'hebdomadaire “Politis” et la dessinatrice Louison reviennent sur les actualités de la semaine ! Ils seront rejoints par Claire Alexandre, médecin psychiatre à Paris. Elle est à l'initiative du Psy art festival — “PAF” — dont la première édition se déroule cette année, du 6 au 8 juin à l'hôpital psychiatrique Paul Guiraud de Villejuif. Ce projet, porté par un collectif de professionnels de l'établissement, vise à déstigmatiser la psychiatrie grâce au théâtre, à la musique ou aux documentaires. “Quand on entend hôpital psychiatrique, on pense à la contention, à l'enfermement ou à des patients zombifiés. Du côté des soignants, c'est l'image de Freud qui vient en tête. L'hôpital doit rester un lieu de passage et ne pas se transformer en un lieu de marginalisation.”  Retours sur deux actualités de la semaine : Aide à mourir. Deux semaines de débat avant un vote solennel, le 11 juin : le projet de loi sur l'aide à mourir est arrivé à l'Assemblée nationale, lundi. Retouché en commission par les députés, le texte divise encore plus que lors de sa présentation il y a deux mois. En cause, notamment : le critère du “pronostic vital engagé à court ou moyen terme” dans la version initiale du texte, remplacé par celui, jugé plus large, d'une maladie “grave et incurable en phase avancée ou terminale”. Si le gouvernement s'est opposé à cette révision, le groupe LFI se réjouit “d'élargir l'accès de l'aide à mourir”. Le projet de loi est-il plus libéral et permissif qu'à l'origine ?  Israël-Gaza. L'offensive israélienne à Rafah, dans le sud de la bande de Gaza, a entraîné cette semaine de vives tensions à l'Assemblée nationale. En brandissant un drapeau palestinien dans l'hémicycle, mardi, le député LFI Sébastien Delogu a entraîné une suspension de séance et a été sanctionné d'une exclusion de quinze jours. Une “honte” dénoncée par les élus de gauche, tandis que la droite criait “dehors” à l'encontre du député. Dans la foulée, les invectives et les insultes ont fusé, devant les caméras, entre les députés David Guiraud — LFI — et Meyer Habib — Les Républicains — proches d'en venir aux mains. “Amis du Hamas” pour les uns, “soutiens des génocidaires” pour les autres, les représentants politiques sont-ils à la hauteur du débat ?Dans son Duel de la semaine, Valérie Brochard oppose Édouard Philippe à Emmanuel Macron. Crise en Nouvelle-Calédonie, campagne aux européennes : le maire du Havre, ancien premier Ministre et fondateur du parti Horizons multiplie les critiques à l'encontre du président de la République et de la majorité. Une tentative d'émancipation en vue de sa possible candidature à la présidentielle de 2027 ? Talons, cravates, jogging : l'arrivée des Bleus à Clairefontaine est un défilé de mode permanent. Alix Van Pée nous raconte.  Notre Une internationale est celle du “Daily News”, titrée “Guilty” — “coupable”, en français. Donald Trump a été déclaré coupable des 34 chefs d'accusation lors de son premier procès pénal à New York dans l'affaire Stormy Daniels. Il pourrait encourir jusqu'à quatre ans de prison. Si ce verdict historique n'invalide pas sa candidature à l'élection présidentielle, Trump a assuré que “ce procès est truqué” et que le “vrai verdict” sera le 5 novembre, le jour de l'élection présidentielle américaine. “C'est une très belle découverte” : un égyptologue sarthois vient d'identifier un fragment de granite appartenant au sarcophage qui abritait le cercueil de Ramsès II, découvert à Abydos en 2009. Claude Askolovitch nous raconte l'histoire de Frédéric Payraudeau. Retrouvez enfin les photos de la semaine sélectionnées avec soin par nos clubistes et la Dérive des continents de Benoît Forgeard !  28 Minutes est le magazine d'actualité d'ARTE, présenté par Elisabeth Quin du lundi au jeudi à 20h05. Renaud Dély est aux commandes de l'émission le vendredi et le samedi. Ce podcast est coproduit par KM et ARTE Radio. Enregistrement : 31 mai 2024 - Présentation : Renaud Dély - Production : KM, ARTE Radio

For the 6th season finale, SG1 has come full circle back to Abydos. Jack Baruzzini, Lisa Jones, and Victor Lams discuss how this episode connects to the show's origins; the great action and production values; and the morality of the arrogance of superior alien races.

Sety at Abydos (Part 4). Finishing our tour of Sety's Great Temple at Abydos, we explore a few more sanctuaries and facilities. Then, we discuss the monument overall. Sety invested huge resources into his building projects at Abydos, and these monuments connect to some truly ancient traditions. What were the King's priorities, what was he trying to achieve?

Sety at Abydos (Part 3). The Osireion is an intriguing monument, one that attracts a huge amount of debate, discussion, and speculation. Its discovery was unexpected, its excavation was an enormous undertaking, and there are many uncertainties about its purpose, history, and overall significance. Still, with an extensive photographic record, some meticulous archaeological work, and a great deal of discussion, we can attempt to understand the Osireion. Who built the Osireion (and how old is it)? Why is it here, behind Sety's great temple? What purpose does it serve? In this episode, we explore these questions, and try to understand the monument overall. NOTE: Due to the complex nature of the Osireion's history (ancient and modern), archaeology, and the difficulty of describing it, I will do a video lecture on YouTube in future. Check this post, or the website, for links when published. Further Information: The Osireion is surprisingly well documented, both in archival photography and modern analysis and discussion.

Sety in Abydos (Part 2). Having toured the first part of Sety's Temple at Abydos, we continue our exploration. Today, we discuss one of the monument's most famous features: a King List, presenting a (supposedly) uninterrupted record of rulers up to Sety's day. In truth, the Abydos King List is complex, with omissions and inclusions that don't quite match scholars' archaeological and historical information. What was Sety trying to achieve, with this curious feature? We explore… This is part 2 in our tour of the temple. We have already visited the Hypostyle Halls, Seven Chapels, and Osiris Complex. In future episodes, we will discuss the Osireion, the secondary features of the monument, and the known priests/staff who managed it.

Part 1. In the ancient city and necropolis of Abydos (Egyptian Abdju), pharaoh Sety I commissioned a magnificent temple. Today, this monument is one of the finest in the country, a highlight of any trip. Sety's work is complicated, with several components and structures worthy of discussion. So, this is part one of a multi-part tour through the complex. Today, we cover: The history of Abydos pre-Sety I. The modern experience of Sety's temple. The Hypostyle Halls, the unique “Seven Chapels,” and the “Osiris Complex.” The meaning and symbolism of the Osiris religion as Sety shows it. In future episodes, we will discuss the Osireion, the Abydos King List, and the known Priests/Staff who managed it.
