Sæmund, son of Sigfus, the reputed collector of the poems bearing his name, which is sometimes also called the Elder, and the Poetic, Edda, was of a highly distinguished family, being descended in a direct line from King Harald Hildetonn. He was born at Oddi, his paternal dwelling in the south of Iceland, between the years 1054 and 1057, or about 50 years after the establishment by law of the Christian religion in that island; hence it is easy to imagine that many heathens, or baptized favourers of the old mythic songs of heathenism, may have lived in his days and imparted to him the lays of the times of old, which his unfettered mind induced him to hand down to posterity.
The making of a last will and testament is one of the most solemn acts of a man's life. Few are so frivolous and indifferent as not to realize the importance of an act which is to live after them, and survive long after the hand that traced it has mingled with its kindred dust. They feel that, however regardless people have been of their sayings and doings, however trivial and unimportant have been their acts in the eyes of others, a certain attention, respect, and weight will be given to so deliberate and serious an act as a man's will.
Seldom published fragments of scriptures of differing religions and teachings of philosophers.
The following pages are the result of an earnest desire to settle the question of, and, if possible, to fix the belief in, the voyages of Prince Madoc and his followers in 1170 A.D., and to assign them their rightful place in American history.
The governor of Pennsylvania, in 1837, argues that George Washington was not the 'great' masonic father of a nation, but merely a 'brother' who seldom attended Masonic functions. The idol of the mason Washington is a myth perpetrated by the Masonic lodges.
The question is often asked, How old is Masonry and where did it begin? The answer must depend entirely on one's definition of the word. If by that term one means a Freemason in the modern sense, who is a member of a subordinate lodge operating under the authority of a Grand Lodge and practising the rites of Symbolical Masonry, then Freemasonry came into existence in London in 1717.
Some of the most curious prophecies, coming from England in the 18th century. Includes a synopsis of other prophecies, including one of Enoch and Seth.
Being s student of history, and in particular to those relating to Texas and the southern states, I have to admit I'd never heard George Washington's views being taken as prophetic regarding the legal right of the South to secede and form a more perfect union. A very interesting read and collection of facts surrounding the disputes between the Northern hypocrite Republicans and the Southern factions wanting a preservation of the Constitutional rights of the states.
This is indeed a strange history of a forgotten prophet. While considered a rogue minister of the church, with questionable affairs and acts, he was prophetic and his predictions were fulfilled for all to see and witness.
Most patriot researchers and historians have read and studied the prophecies that concern the United States, but few realize that similar prophecies were written about the Confederate States of America. These are good to read and analyze because they set Christian prophecies to a lower value of relevance, since many were proven false.
A good view of the Assyrian culture from one of their own manuscripts. It includes a quick study of the gods of the Assyrians. Interesting to see the ancients faced the same problems of taxes, religions, and making a living as we do today.
Generally considered as a legend, this author presents Pantika as a religion, a culture, and a way of life as observed by the ancients. These legends were as real to that people as Christianity is to its adherents.
Research into the possibility (probability to the author) that a people called the Nestorians are the Lost Tribes of Israel. The Nestorians adopted early Christianity as their religion.

CHRONOLOGY is the skeleton of history, and until we can find the correct chronological place for a historical monument it loses a large part of its value. Thanks to the lists of the so-called eponyms, by means of whom the Assyrians dated their years, the chronology of the Assyrian kings has long since been placed upon a satisfactory footing as far back as the tenth century before our era.
