Wonderfully interesting TY Dr Finkel.

[@DeniseEPerez]

Seems to me the "rings" are what we now have defined as Euclidean space or spherical-geometry to which clearly the 'triangles' are its expressions in literal geographical terms as stated. Interesting conclusions and indeed a remarkable example of a "birds eye" report. An observation of Intriguing and thought provoking correlations and of course historical significance where my mind "decompresses" the recorded data as it were, in broader terms - as it relates to my question of "time" itself, thank you.

When you really get into Cuneiform tablets, you get answers about humanity and human creation where the Bible copycat fails and falls apart.

Special thanks to Dr. Finkel for this great video - I made the mistake last night of using this video to help my 8 year old daughter to go to sleep ... I knew I'd enjoy it but thought it'd put her out. However, the opposite happened - she was so interested that she wasn't pleased when I paused it and then wanted to watch more once the video ended. I greatly enjoyed the video but the highest compliment comes from my 8 year old who wants to see more.

[@grizwoldphantasia5005]

A friend took her pre-school children to a movie and found she'd gotten the wrong schedule, and the only movie available was "Apollo 13", a 2:20 long movie where everyone knows the ending, very technical etc. Yet her kids were on pins and needles the whole time. I cannot think of a better recommendation of good story telling. Why Ron Howard didn't get an Oscar for that, I do not know. Irving Finkel should get something for his story telling too.

This is because the last days are the conclusion of the whole age. These the sum and end of God's six-thousand-year rule plan, and these are the end of mankind's suffering life journey. My work will only last six thousand years, and I will I whose contempt for all mankind will not last more than six thousand years. I will not continue or delay any more: In the last days I will conquer Satan, I will take back all My glory, and I will take back the all the souls on earth that belong to Me so that these sorrowing souls can escape from the sea of ​​suffering, and thus My whole work on earth will be finished. I will only do one thing on earth: I will change mankind, the humanity that is holy, and My faithful city on earth. This humanity will remain with Me forever, but it is not the vile filthy humanity of today, but the humanity accumulated from My earnings. The spoils of war I have rescued from Satan's domain, and are the only consummation and fruition of My six-thousand-year rule plan. They come from every nation and denomination, and every place and town, throughout the universe. I will destroy this ancient, and utterly defilement of mankind, as I destroyed the firstborn sons and cattle in Egypt, leaving only the Israelites, who ate lamb's flesh, drank lamb's blood, and sealed blood of sheep's on the beams of their houses) Almighty God said PEOPLE only in the LAST DAYS experience the RE-APPEARANCE of the REDEEMER in the FLESH, and they ACCEPT GOD'S PERSONAL WORKS and WORDS. It will not be two thousand years before the LAST DAYS of the END COME; they are SHORT, as JESUS ​​DID the WORKS during the AGE of GRACE in JUDEA. This is because the LAST DAYS are the CONCLUSION of ALL TIME. These are the FULFILLMENT and the END of the SIX--THOUSAND--YEAR PLAN of GOD'S RULE, and they are the END of HUMANITY'S LIFE JOURNEY of SUFFERING. 🙏 My WORK WILL ONLY LAST SIX THOUSAND YEARS, and I PROMISE THAT EVIL'S HOLD OF ALL HUMANITY WILL NOT LAST MORE THAN SIX THOUSAND YEARS either. ☀️ And so timely. I will not continue or delay any longer: In the LAST DAYS I WILL CONQUER SATAN, I WILL RECOVER ALL MY GLORY, and I WILL RECOVER all the SOULS on EARTH that belong to Me so that these suffering SOULS can LOSE in the SEA of SUFFERING, and thus My ENTIRE WORK on EARTH will be FINISHED. From this day forward, I will never again incarnate on earth, and My domineering Spirit will never again work on earth. 🙏 I will only DO one THING on EARTH: I will CHANGE HUMANITY, humanity that is DIVINE, and My FAITHFUL CITY on EARTH. 🌺 But you must know that I will not destroy the whole world, nor will I destroy the whole humanity. I will KEEP the REMAINING PART THREE---the third part that LOVES Me and COMPLETELY SUBMITS to Me, and I will MAKE them fruitful and MULTIPLY in the EARTH as the ISRAELITES DID UNDER the LAW, FEEDING them with Abundant SHEEP and CATTLE and ALL the ABUNDANCES OF THE EARTH. 🌺 This humanity will remain with Me forever, but it is not the vile filthy humanity of today, but the humanity accumulated from My earnings. 🙏 That mankind will not be harmed, disturbed, or besieged by Satan, and they will be the ONLY mankind that WILL REMAIN ON EARTH AFTER I AM VICTORIOUS AGAINST SATAN. This is humanity that I have NOW CONQUERED and GOT MY PROMISE. And so, the humanity conquered in the LAST DAYS is the same humanity that WILL BE SAVED and ACHIEVE My ETERNAL BLESSINGS. 🌺 This will be the only proof of My victory over Satan, and the only spoils of My battle with Satan. The SPOILERS of WAR I HAVE SAVED from SATAN'S ATTITUDE, and the ONLY COMPLETION and FRUIT of My SIX-THOUSAND-YEAR REIGN PLAN. They come from every nation and denomination, and every place and town, throughout the UNIVERSE. They come from different races, different languages, customs and skin colors, and they are scattered in all countries and denominations around the world, and even in every corner of the WORLD. 🏵️ SOON, they will COME TOGETHER to BUILD THE PERFECT HUMANITY, the meeting of humanity that SATAN'S FORCES CANNOT REACH. 🙏 Those of HUMANITY that I have NOT SAVED and CONQUERED and will SINK SILENTLY in the DEPTH OF THE SEA, and MY BURNING FIRE WILL BURN ETERNALLY. 😪 I will wipe out this old, and utter abomination of mankind, just as I DESTROYED the FIRST-BORN BOYS and cattle in EGYPT, leaving only the ISRAELITES, who EAT lamb's flesh, DRINK sheep BLOOD, and STAMP the BLOOD of the asSHEEP on the beams of their DOORS. 🙏🌷🙏 AREN'T the PEOPLE I CONQUERED and became FAMILY the same PEOPLE who ATE My FLESH as LAMB and I REDEEMED and WORSHIP Me? Aren't they the TYPES of PEOPLE who are always ACCOMPANIED with My GLORY? Are they not without My body, the Lamb, and have quietly sunk into the depths of the sea? Now they oppose Me, and now My words and just like those that Jehovah said to the male children and male grandsons of Israel. BUT HARDNESS IN THE DEPTH of your HEARTS STORES MY WRATH, CAUSES MORE JUDGMENT on your SINS, and more WRATH on your unrighteousness. Who will be saved in My day of wrath, if this is how you treat Me now? ☀️ Whose UNJUSTICE can ESCAPE My EYES of PUNISHMENT? Whose sins can escape the hands of Me, the ALMIGHTY? Whose resistance will escape My judgment, the ALMIGHTY? I, JEHOVAH, am SPEAKING to you, TRIBES of GENTILE FAMILIES, and the WORDS I AM SPEAKING to you are MORE than ALL that was SPOKE in the AGE of LAW and in the AGE of GRACE, but you are more stubborn than all people in Egypt. Are you not storing up My wrath while I PREPARE My REST? How can you get away with nothing?g damage from My Sun, the ALMIGHTY? 🌻 From "The Word Appears in the Flesh" The kingdom that Christ brought down and built from heaven engraved with His Holy name "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD" 💐 fulfillment of (Matthew 16:18) The Lord Jesus said "And I say to you, you are Peter, in upon this rock I will build my Church, that the power of death shall not prevail over her." 💌 So everyone is led here! because this is the last day which means the last age and the last salvation the last stage is the AGE OF THE KINGDOM or the age of the word, in His lowered Kingdom "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD" 💐because the purification of God has come to the individual of the spirit of man ("The Parable of the Washing of the Feet" John 13:5-9)... . EVERYONE WHO HAS AN EAR LISTEN TO WHAT THE SPIRIT SAYS TO THE CHURCHES!" (Rev. 2:7,11,17,29 and 3:6,13,22) 🌺

Given what I hear from my sons about their experience at school I have to consider myself very lucky. It's always sad to see teachers who obviously know their stuff but just can't get it to transfer to the class. Dr. Finkel is a shining beacon to those poor people - not just exceptionally well versed in the subject matter but also so in love with it that it shows in every sentence, capturing an audience of one as easily as one of hundreds, making it easy to learn, to commit to long-term memory, and to find the motivation to come back for more.

Fresh water is called "sweet water" in some languages. Salt water is actually called "bitter water" in some languages like Hebrew and Arabic.

I will not continue or delay any longer: In the LAST DAYS I WILL CONQUER SATAN, I WILL RECOVER ALL MY GLORY, and I WILL RECOVER all the SOULS on EARTH that belong to Me so that these suffering SOULS can LOSE in the SEA of SUFFERING, and thus My ENTIRE WORK on EARTH will be FINISHED. From this day forward, I will never again incarnate on earth, and My domineering Spirit will never again work on earth. 🙏 I will only DO one THING on EARTH: I will CHANGE HUMANITY, humanity that is DIVINE, and My FAITHFUL CITY on EARTH. 🌺 But you must know that I will not destroy the whole world, nor will I destroy the whole humanity. I will KEEP the REMAINING PART THREE---the third part that LOVES Me and COMPLETELY SUBMITS to Me, and I will MAKE them fruitful and MULTIPLY in the EARTH as the ISRAELITES DID UNDER the LAW, FEEDING them with Abundant SHEEP and CATTLE and ALL the ABUNDANCES OF THE EARTH. 🌺 This humanity will remain with Me forever, but it is not the vile filthy humanity of today, but the humanity accumulated from My earnings. 🙏 That mankind will not be harmed, disturbed, or besieged by Satan, and they will be the ONLY mankind that WILL REMAIN ON EARTH AFTER I AM VICTORIOUS AGAINST SATAN. This is humanity that I have NOW CONQUERED and GOT MY PROMISE. And so, the humanity conquered in the LAST DAYS is the same humanity that WILL BE SAVED and ACHIEVE My ETERNAL BLESSINGS. 🌺 This will be the only proof of My victory over Satan, and the only spoils of My battle with Satan.

Aren't they the TYPES of PEOPLE who are always ACCOMPANIED with My GLORY? Are they not without My body, the Lamb, and have quietly sunk into the depths of the sea? Now they oppose Me, and now My words and just like those that Jehovah said to the male children and male grandsons of Israel. BUT HARDNESS IN THE DEPTH of your HEARTS STORES MY WRATH, CAUSES MORE JUDGMENT on your SINS, and more WRATH on your unrighteousness. Who will be saved in My day of wrath, if this is how you treat Me now? ☀️ Whose UNJUSTICE can ESCAPE My EYES of PUNISHMENT? Whose sins can escape the hands of Me, the ALMIGHTY? Whose resistance will escape My judgment, the ALMIGHTY? I, JEHOVAH, am SPEAKING to you, TRIBES of GENTILE FAMILIES, and the WORDS I AM SPEAKING to you are MORE than ALL that was SPOKE in the AGE of LAW and in the AGE of GRACE, but you are more stubborn than all people in Egypt. Are you not storing up My wrath while I PREPARE My REST? How can you get away with nothing?g damage from My Sun, the ALMIGHTY? 🌻 From "The Word Appears in the Flesh" The kingdom that Christ brought down and built from heaven engraved with His Holy name "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD" 💐 fulfillment of (Matthew 16:18) The Lord Jesus said "And I say to you, you are Peter, in upon this rock I will build my Church, that the power of death shall not prevail over her." 💌 So everyone is led here! because this is the last day which means the last age and the last salvation the last stage is the AGE OF THE KINGDOM or the age of the word, in His lowered Kingdom "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD" 💐because the purification of God has come to the individual of the spirit of man ("The Parable of the Washing of the Feet" John 13:5-9)... .

Dr. Finkel looks like he should be the Unseen University's Chair of Indefinite Studies. Excellent video.

every time I listen to this guy I learn something that's both deeply fascinating and extremely charming about antiquity

Irving Finkel is a national treasure. He is both intelligent and interesting to listen to.

I think the 5th one describes ancient Lebanon, and the 'wall' thing means a dense forest of local trees (Cedrus libani) which can grow up to 42m (yes, meters) for 2-3 thousands years which for me would definitely look like a wall, but those trees are usually no longer than 5m. If you consider Ararat as a mark for 4th region then 5th 'triangle' points exactly at Lebanon. What is striking is that if one would like to walk from ancient babylon to lebanon it would take you approx. 9 days by foot. In the myth of Gilgamesh he literally walks from Ur to lebanon (where are cedars of gods) and fights with a monster there, which is strange because this map suggests that he should swim there for 7 leagues. He walked for 6 days, and this description indicates 7 leagues, but the time of walking may vary depending of the speed of walking, especially if you are considered a giant among your people. In lebanon there is the mount of lebanon where are the last cedars of gods till this day (and they are still called cedars of gods). It also states that the cedars of gods were protected from humans by some kind of god / demigod till the time of Gilgamesh. And you know what? There are some very big stones in lebanon, the biggest we have ever concluded to be created by human hand (Baalbek stone). Nevertheless I think it is something worth considering. *I made a Channel to talk about this and more because a lot of you ask a lot of questions. Ancient Theories Channel.

Thank you for such an inspiring lecture. Will there be more like it (please)? While listening, I remembered university; how very important it is to have an inspiring teacher (especially for us who teach).

[@AncientTheoriesChannel]

I made a YT channel where I talk more about those topics
