This discussion dives into the pivotal role that China's historical lessons, particularly from the Opium Wars, play in shaping its modern financial and technological dominance. As silver flowed into China in the 18th and 19th centuries but rarely left, the nation’s self-sufficiency spurred tensions with Europe, leading to the Opium Wars. The result? A century of humiliation that remains a crucial part of Chinese education and self-perception today. Fast-forward to the present, and China, once weakened by colonial interference, has emerged technologically ahead of the West. However, the conversation touches on whether the West’s recent attempts, such as tariffs, could spark similar consequences in today's global economy.https://coppernicometals.com/TSX:COPRFor more content from VRIC host Jay Martin, please visit The Commodity University at https://thecommodityuniversity.com/Sign up for Jay’s newsletter at https://jaymartin.substack.com/subscribe
A linguistic shift is underway in Senegal. Wolof is spoken by 80% of the population and has progressively overtaken French, the country’s official language, as the dominant language of communication. Private Wolof classes have flourished as the publishing sector races to meet growing demand for books and other content written in local languages for local readers. Report by Aminatou Diallo, Elimane Ndao and Sam Bradpiece.

This week we look at expectations, whether created by ourselves, others, or our circumstances and environment. This burden we carry without realizing it. Often we fail to appreciate how expectations robs us of being whole, complete beings, with resolve and at peace from inside out.
The religious beliefs of Israel were rooted in the shared culture of Canaan. Although it had unique attributes that differed from the Canaanites, it still found expression in shared practices and language. Some traditional practices couldn't be merged with Yahwism, but others like sacred poetry, music, and architecture were adopted and became integral to Israelite religion. The Old Testament's embrace or rejection of these elements means that Canaanite religious influences still affect us today through biblical narratives.Before the findings at Ugarit-Ras Shamra, our knowledge of Canaanite religion was minimal and largely from indirect sources. The Old Testament did mention Canaanite deities and rituals, but these were often in a negative light, making interpretations challenging. Mentions of Canaanite gods and rituals were also found in Egyptian, Mesopotamian, and Phoenician writings, including the Karatepe inscriptions from 1946. However, these weren't enough to form a complete understanding. Greek historians provided accounts of Canaanite beliefs, but it was hard to distinguish authentic traditions from later additions. Excavations at places like Byblos and Megiddo gave us glimpses, but only a fragmentary picture.Now, thanks to discoveries at Ras Shamra (ancient Ugarit) in North Syria, the Canaanites tell their own story. Hundreds of clay tablets found there, written in a dialect close to Biblical Hebrew, offer rich insights. These tablets feature extensive mythological poems, records related to temple services, lists of deities and sacrifices, and details about temple workers and rituals. Additionally, artifacts linked to gods like Baal and Dagon, including temple remains and stelae, have been uncovered.It's crucial to understand that while there was a core Canaanite religious belief, local variations existed. Not every Canaanite city would have worshiped all the gods we know from the texts. Canaanite religion was more of a public affair than a personal one. Its rituals, mostly centered on ensuring fertility, were community events. Though there were individual acts of devotion, as seen in Phoenician inscriptions, the religion was mainly a communal way to connect with nature's forces. This involved practices believed to ensure continued creation and rejuvenation. The prominence of some deities in mythological writings doesn't always reflect their actual popularity among Canaanite devotees. Conversely, some gods, like Dagon, had a minimal role in myths—merely acknowledged as Baal's father—but seemed quite revered, as evidenced by a dedicated temple and two stelae in Ugarit.EL, the hebrew word for GOD, is the Supreme God and creator, and shows up as ALLAH in arabic.YHWH’s revelation is always at a mountain, whether called Sinai or Horeb, pictures the event is a volcanic eruption. As these texts show, volcanism seems to be an essential attribute typically associated with YHWH, linking him to the Craftsman Metalurgy gods I mentioned before. The account of the Sinai revelation, with its volcanic imagery, is meant to show that YHWH himself, and not simply a divine emissary, but a Demiurgic Crafstman.Some believe Mount Sinai might be one of these Arabian volcanoes, which the Israelites approached after departing Egypt. The Kenites seem to have been skilled metalworkers. Genesis 4 discusses Cain's descendant, Tubal-Cain, as a craftsman skilled in molding copper and iron. Semitic cognates of Cain hint that metallurgical activities were integral to its meaning. Hence, Cain might originally have represented the pioneering figure in metallurgy, with the Kenites—both metalworkers and smelters—as his successors. Their association with a volcanic deity like YHWH becomes clearer in this context.00:00:00 - Intro00:02:21 - Chapter 1: Canaanite Religion00:05:33 - Chapter 2: the God EL00:07:14 - Chapter 3: Divine Craftsman00:10:38 - Chapter 4: PTAH, Demiruge00:12:48 - Chapter 5: Elephantine Jews00:17:27 - Chapter 6: Yahweh, Midianite Metallurgy God00:24:59 - Chapter 7: YHWH vs. Ba'al00:32:18 - Chapter 8: Dionysian IAO00:37:54 - Chapter 9: Dionysus of the Desert00:39:57 - Chapter 10: Yahweh Inscriptions00:42:50 - Chapter 11: EL, King of the North00:45:45 - Chapter 12: Saturn, King of ELOHIM00:53:57 - Chapter 13: Old Gods - BAD00:58:00 - Chapter 14: Breasts of Gaia (2 Mountains)01:01:27 - Chapter 15: Jewish Polythesim01:03:22 - Chapter 16: Rise of Monotheism01:19:25 - Chapter 17: Demetrius Phalerius01:26:16 - OUTRO: Plutarch on 'AMEN'#gnosticinformant #judaism #documentary
In this enlightening documentary, we embark on a journey through time to uncover the hidden history of Yahweh, the God of the Bible, as perceived by his ancient worshippers. Our exploration is rooted in the groundbreaking research of Francesca Stavrakopoulou, as presented in her seminal work "God: An Anatomy." Delving deep into the ancient Near Eastern context, we reveal a startling reality: Yahweh, once part of a larger divine family, was not always the solitary figure we recognize today.
We explore the fascinating, yet lesser-known aspects of Yahweh's identity – his relationship with his father El, his consort Asherah, and his position within a broader pantheon of deities. This documentary challenges conventional views, shedding light on the transformation of Yahweh from a member of a divine assembly to the sole omnipotent deity of later monotheistic traditions.
Prepare to be astonished as we unravel the intricate tapestry of ancient beliefs, rituals, and theological evolutions. This is a must-watch for those seeking to understand the complex origins and evolution of one of the world's most influential deities. Whether you're a scholar, a student of history, or simply curious, this documentary promises to be a revelatory and thought-provoking experience, opening eyes to a dimension of biblical history seldom discussed in mainstream discourse.
