   Ahhiyawa: The true location and people of the infamous Hittite mentioned great kingdom

   Dive into the enigmatic depths of ancient history with us on this episode of "Nothing New Under the Sun." Join us as we unravel the mysteries surrounding the great kingdom of Ahhiyawa, a powerful entity mentioned by the Hittites, shrouded in the mists of time. Scholars have long debated the true identity of Ahhiyawa, speculating whether it might be the Achaeans or another Hellenic group. However, the chronology of the Bronze Age presents a perplexing challenge. What if the history we attributed to the Bronze Age actually unfolded during the Iron Age? In a groundbreaking revelation, we explore how Ahhiyawa might be more than just a distant legend. Drawing on linguistic connections and archaeological evidence, we reveal an astonishing possibility: Ahhiyawa might be none other than the kingdom of Judah from the Bible. Unlocking the ancient clay tablets, we uncover a pivotal moment in history. "Hiya" or "haya," meaning "I am and will be" in Hebrew, echoes the divine proclamation to Moses. Could this be the key to unraveling Ahhiyawa's true identity? Join us as we delve into the depths of the past and shed light on the earliest mention of the kingdom of Judah, reshaping our understanding of ancient civilizations.

   King Tut & King David: One in the same?

   Amenhotop ll had 10 sons 2 died young. King David had 10 sons 6 from Hebron and 4 from Bathsheba. First 2 sons from Bathsheba died still birth. David was a warrior and archer and a skilled muscian, hired to be Saul's Harp player. King Tut's tomb was full of chariot, bow and arrows and musical instruments like liars, harps and trumpets. And they found 2 still born baby son mummies. David married previous kings wife and daughter. Thutmose lll coruled with the previous kings wife Hatshepsut and her daughter. Amenhotep ll was a skilled archer and warrior same as thutmose lll same as king david. David received kingship from tribe of Benjamin, the priests are called Amonites. Judah and benjamin lived together in the south and the other tribes in the north. Amen temple and the Aten temple in Thebes is the home of these two tribes. If you believe in one god you are a jew. As in Aten and Judah. There is no letter T equivelent in the Jewish dialect. If you say today with jewish dialect it will sound like duday. So King Tut to a hebrew would be Dud which is the ancient name for david (dawd or dod). Amenhotep 1 is Saul, amenhotep ll is David, Amenhotep lll is Solomon and lV is Akenhaten. Remeber Thutmose lV wasn't suppose to be king but he cleaned off the sphinx and his older brother died and he became king. Solomon was not suppose to be king either he had a older brother. What do you think?

   Egyptian Pyramids: Iron age structures not copper or bronze?

   A deep dive into the impossible theory of the pyramids being  built during the 3rd, 4th and 5th dynasties in the old kingdom of Egypt. We discus copper production in the med. and cyclopeon masonry during the copper and bronze age. All structures throughout the bronze age used cyclopeon techniques when building structures. Their copper and bronze was to difficult to obtain to waste on cutting and facing stone. It was purely for weapons and some tools. Some how egypt was able to keep secret for 1500 years iron age building techniques during the copper and bronze age. And somehow they obtained 100,000's of tons of copper ore to produce 1000's of tons of copper to cut and face limestone and 40 ton granite blocks. Not to mention miles of tunnles into the bedrock with large cavities where 40 men can stand. And don't get me started on the valley of the kings tombs. 500 years before the phoenicians are even on the scene with their 5000 ships in peek time bronze age. Egypt would put down their primary weapon of war of the old kingdom which was a wooden stick with a stone on the end and then go used advanced mathmatics and engineering to cut millions 1.5 ton limestone blocks. And cut 200 40 ton granite blocks and face off all 6 sides perfectly smooth and straight. I got some beach front property for you come see me in Kansas......smfh!

   Ammonites: Egyptian, Hyksos or something more tribal?

   Imagine, if you will, a world shrouded in the veils of uncertainty, where the Aryans embark on their fateful odyssey, crossing vast expanses in search of new horizons. Concurrently, the Ammonite Empire casts its imposing shadow over the lands, its legacy etched into the annals of ancient lore. Yet amidst these epochs, a veil of obscurity envelops the land of Egypt, where the Hyksos shepherd kings rise to prominence, their origins veiled in mystery, their rule a testament to the enigmatic currents that swirl beneath the surface of history. And looming over the grandeur of Thebes stands the god Amun, his presence both revered and feared, his origins lost to the sands of time. But could there be more to this intricate tapestry than meets the eye? Could the tribe of Benjamin, nestled within the folds of ancient lore, hold the key to unlocking the secrets of our past? As we delve deeper into the annals of time, questions beg to be answered. Who were the ancient Egyptians, truly? Is it justifiable to label them as such, or does such nomenclature oversimplify the rich tapestry of their existence? Consider this: would we dare reduce the Babylonians or Sumerians to mere geographical monikers, labeling them as 'ancient Iraqis'? The very notion seems preposterous. And yet, do we not commit the same injustice when we confine the legacy of Egypt to the constraints of a single name? Join me, dear listeners, on a voyage of discovery as we unravel the mysteries that lie beneath the surface of antiquity. For in the depths of history, there truly is 'Nothing New Under the Sun'.
