The black diamond marks the Urmian Plateau,
location of the White Mountain of Seir, geographical matrix
of the Gnostic movement. The gray cross situates this locale
at the generative center of the entire region shown by the
map. The vertical arms
extend
from Greece in the west to Ghandara in the east. The horizontal
arm
parallels the Fertile Crescent and, at its extreme extension
south, marks Eridu, the ancient Sumerian port on the Arabian
Sea.
Although Near Eastern theocracies emerged
in the Fertile Crescent, the directing agency behind them
was the Magian Order that originated on the
Urmian plateau. From there the Zoroastrian Magi,
later called
Illuminati,
spread
southward and eastward (blue lines),
setting up the first theocratic states. From the same point a
different branch of the Magian Order, comprising the telestai or Gnostics
as we understand them today, spread both east and west (brown
lines), establishing
the widespread network
of the
Mysteries.
Notable details:
The extreme extension of the telestai in
the Near East is Ephesus (circle at the western
end of the horizontal
arm), famous for its statue of the many-breasted
Artemis. Syria
was a stronghold of pre-Christian Gnosticism and later anti-Christian
Gnosticism.
From the Levant
the movement
spread
into the Grecian Isles, mainland
Greece,
Italy, and
further
westward.
The network of the Mysteries
also ran westward across the southern rim of the Mediterranean
Sea, toward Carthage. Note that the movement covered areas
on both sides of the Dead Sea, i.e., Jerusalem
and Qumran to the
west,
and Nabatea (modern Jordan) to the east,
as well as the
Negev Desert south of the Dead Sea, which
was fertile down to the 3rd millenium BCE. The Negev was called
Seir in ancient
times, due to the density of the Gnostic cults in that region.
Egyptian civilization was
deeply permeated by the Gnostic movement from Urmia, but it
was not based on the Magian model of theocracy; rather,
on a different model derived from the native animistic religions
of Africa.
One of the last outposts of the movement may have been the temple of
Hathor at Dendera on the bend of the Nile close to Nag Hammadi
(brown loop).
The western extension of the Gnostic movement
extended to Bactria and the Hindu Kush where Greece art and
intellectual culture merged with Buddhism to form a unique
genre, Ghandaran
art.
The Magians carried their agenda
of patriarchal statecraft and their master-slave model of social
control southward into the Fertile Cresent as
well as eastward into
Turkey. In
one
instance, the theocratic regime of the Magians dead-ended violently
(blue line T)
in the Hittite Empire in Central
Turkey. Nearby was Catal Huyuk, a prehistorical
Goddess-oriented society, an example of a non-theocratic culture
in close proximity
to
a theocratic one. Catal Huyuk pre-dated the Hittites by millennia,
of course. (Mellart says that the pre-urban, Goddess-based
society of Anatolia "represents the climax of a process that
must have started in the Upper Paleolithic, c. 35,000-10,000."
The Archeology of Ancient Turkey, p. 22) After
2000 BCE, theocratic tyrants run by the
Magian priesthood imposed
the patriarchal
model more
and more
agressively
on
surviving gylanic cultures. This is the period of the invasion
of the
Eastern
Sea Kings,
and, of course,
the epoch of Abraham. (See R. A. Boulay, Flying Serpents
and Dragons, Ch. 22.)
The blue line extending northward from
the Urmian Plateau shows the extension of the Magian Order
into
the Caucasus mountains where the Empire of
the Khazars arose much later, around 740 CE.
Long before that time, this region was inhabited
by a northern branch of the Sumerians, known as the Turanians.
The split between Turan (cis-Caucasian)
and Iran (trans-Caucasian) probably
occured around 6000 BCE (Geminian Age, Zoroaster). According
to Steinerite
prehistorian Gunther
Wachsmuth (The Evolution of Mankind), Turanian culture
was pathologically violent, its leaders bent on conquest
by sheer force, whereas ancient Iranian culture was based on
a pacifist model of agricultural society. He compares the Turanians
to the blood-thirsty Aztecs of Central America. Both cultures
shared the same theology of split-source dualism, however.
The
cis-Caucasus
was the ancient cultural and geographic matrix of the Ashkenazi
Jews,
a white Eastern European stock
totally distinct from the Biblical
Jews. Turania was the remote origin, and "Khazaria" a
later expression, of
the
brutal crypto-fascism of the New World Order whose ideologues
and enforcers are often
Ashkenazi Jews. In the NWO, Zionist politics and salvationist
religion serve the master plan of domination in ways that have
nothing to do with the genuine religious tradition of the
ancient
Hebrews
and their true descendents, Sephardic Jews.
Khazaria is the little-known origin of much
of the global conflict today, especially the orchestrated war
of ideologies between
Islam
and Christianity. David Icke's chapter on the Khazars is full
of well-documented research on the Khazars. (Reproduced
here: Figure 7 in C. 4 of Tales
from the Time Loop by
David Icke.) The Turanian-Khazar-Ashkenazi complex is the deep
historical background of the Illuminati who operate through
religious, political, and military manipulation in our time.
One of their
main ploys is Jewish conspiracy theory. Icke's research suggests
how the faux-Jewish Illuminati play both sides at once: they
promote false rumors
of a Jewish
conspiracy
(e.g., "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion") and,
at the same time, they cynically, maliciously promote Zionism
as a sacred
cause, even though Ashkenazi Jews have no racial, religious,
or cultural
connection to genuine Biblical Judaism. (Map of Khazaria from
David Icke, Tales from the Time Loop.)
