⁣The Achaemenid period (550–330 BCE) is rightly seen as one of the most formative periods in Judaism. It is the period in which large portions of the Bible were edited and redacted and others were authored―yet no dedicated interdisciplinary study has been undertaken to present a consistent picture of this decisive time period.

This book is dedicated to the study of the touchpoints between Yahwistic communities throughout the Achaemenid empire and the Iranian attributes of the empire that ruled over them for about two centuries. Its approach is fundamentally interdisciplinary. It brings together scholars of Achaemenid history, literature and religion, Iranian linguistics, historians of the Ancient Near East, archeologists, biblical scholars and Semiticists. The goal is to better understand the interchange of ideas, expressions and concepts as well as the experience of historical events between Yahwists and the empire that ruled over them for over two centuries. The book will open up a holisitic perspective on this important era to scholars of a wide variety of fields in the study of Judaism in the Ancient Near East.

⁣Djehuti-Thoth is among the oldest and most complex and mysterious Ntryw of the ancient Egyptian world. His origins lost to time, he would become the Ntr of writing, heka (magic), fate and the moon. He would aid in the resurrection of Osiris, intercede on the part of justice (Ma'at) in the dispute between Horus and Set and go on to become worshiped at Hermopolis as Lord of the Ogdoad. In the Greco-Roman period he would be fused with Hermes becoming Hermes Trismegistus, legendary founder of hermetic philosophy and the occult sciences of alchemy, magic and astrology.
Join me in this episode as I explore the origins of Thoth!

In this video, we take an in-depth look at the ancient Tichitt culture of West Africa and examine how it supports the groundbreaking theories of historian and anthropologist Cheikh Anta Diop. Diop argued that African civilizations were far more advanced than often recognized, with Africa’s history frequently overlooked or misunderstood. According to his model, many modern West African populations trace their roots back to the Nile Valley (the Hapi River basin), having migrated over millennia. This perspective reshapes our understanding of African civilizations as interconnected and deeply influential in the ancient world.

The Tichitt culture, which flourished around 2000 BCE in what is now Mauritania, provides compelling evidence of an advanced society with organized agriculture, monumental stone settlements, and a structured social order. New archaeological findings reveal how this culture aligns with Diop's theories, not only affirming Africa's role in early civilization but also challenging misconceptions about Africa's historical contributions.

Join us as we explore the connections between the Hapi River basin and Tichitt, uncovering how these migrations shaped West African culture and heritage. Discover why Tichitt’s ancient legacy is essential for understanding Africa's place in global history and how it serves as proof of Diop’s enduring influence on the study of African civilizations.

Between the monumental Pyramids of Giza and the beautifully illustrated Book of the Dead, a religious revolution took place. For the first time in human history detailed accounts of the afterlife and the rituals to transcend death first appear engraved in the twilight of the Old Kingdom. Known as the Pyramid texts, these elaborate rituals, spells and incantations detail how the Soul can be made immortal, by traveling with the Divine Sun through the night, reborn in Osiris, before being emerging between the thighs of the Sky Goddess Nut. The Pyramid texts represent the earliest and most sustained literature on the Afterlife and are among the oldest religious literature in the world.

Set is a enigmatic, archaic and enigmatic Ntr of the ancient Egyptians. At the same time the murderer of Osiris and the contending defiler of Horus, he is also lord of the Ombos, Ntr of the frontier and protector of the sun Ntr (GOD) Ra, battling with the chaos Ntr Apophis at the bow of the Barque of Millions. Let's trace the history, development and eventual demonization of Seth. From his inauguration of death, his veneration by the family of Rameses, synthesis with Ba'al and Yahweh and his final role in the dark magic of the Greek Magical Papyri.

Dr. Gad Barnea is not your typical Bible scholar—he’s reshaping how we view ancient Judaism and the Hebrew Bible, tackling one of its core assumptions: that Moses and his story are older than the 4th century BCE. As a Lecturer in Jewish History and Biblical Studies at the University of Haifa and a Research Fellow at the École biblique et archéologique Française, Dr. Barnea focuses on Yahwism under the “Iranian Age of Empires,” exploring how Persian rule and Zoroastrianism likely shaped early Judaism, suggesting the Moses narrative may have emerged far later than commonly thought.Beyond texts, Barnea has uncovered a groundbreaking ostracon from Elephantine, the earliest known Jewish curse text, and evidence of a Jewish priestess—a revelation about ancient Jewish rituals. He’s also restored a Qumran scroll (4Q550) containing a forgotten Achaemenid court tale, set to release with Brill, and co-edits a book on “Yahwism under the Achaemenid Empire.”With years of tech experience, Barnea is also advancing Digital Humanities, making biblical studies accessible and transforming how we understand figures like Moses in light of hellenistic influences.overing a history that reshapes our understanding of the Bible and Moses himself.Dr. Gad Barnea linksAcademia - https://haifa.academia.edu/gadbarneaHis new book free open access - https://www.degruyter.com/docu....ment/doi/10.1515/978 the other awesome interview with Dr. Gad Barnea on @GnosticInformant https://youtu.be/ZEEhqRxfFck?si=i8iK20IDP6J0ZYmz

⁣The Gil Noble Vault refers to the extensive collection of interviews, reports, and documentaries by Gil Noble, the acclaimed journalist and host of the TV show Like It Is, which focused on issues relevant to Black communities. One of the most notable topics Noble explored was the assassination of Malcolm X, a defining moment in the history of the Black Liberation Movement.
Malcolm X, a revolutionary leader and prominent figure in the Nation of Islam (NOI) before his departure, was assassinated on February 21, 1965, at the Audubon Ballroom in New York City. Gil Noble covered the assassination and its aftermath extensively, focusing on the political, social, and conspiratorial aspects of the event. Noble's work challenged mainstream narratives and provided a platform for voices calling into question the official story regarding who was responsible for Malcolm X’s murder.
In the Gil Noble Vault, various episodes of Like It Is delve into this topic, featuring interviews with key figures such as Malcolm X’s family members, historians, scholars, and civil rights activists. These discussions often explore the role of the FBI, CIA, and the potential involvement of the NOI leadership in orchestrating or allowing Malcolm's assassination, as well as the deep divisions within the Black liberation movements of the 1960s.
The archives also include rare footage and interviews that shine a light on Malcolm X's philosophy, his impact on Black consciousness, and the legacy of his ideas long after his death. Through this vault, Gil Noble helped preserve the memory of Malcolm X and his struggle for Black liberation while encouraging ongoing inquiry into the true circumstances surrounding his death.

On September 12, 1977, the anti-apartheid struggle in South Africa was dealt a heavy blow due to the death of Bantu Steve Biko, a popular voice of Black liberation in South Africa between the mid 1960s until his death in police detention in 1977.

Biko was one of the most prominent leaders in the anti-apartheid struggle and in some quarters he was seen as “the most important black South African leader of this generation.” So important, in fact, that the Apartheid Government was terrified of him.
