From last year;
“A geomagnetic anomaly that occurred between 3,000 and 2,500 years ago has shed light on ancient Mesopotamia in a way that has never been explored before. Analysis of ancient bricks from Mesopotamia, specifically modern-day Iraq, point to a dramatic spike in the Earth’s magnetic field roughly 3,000 years ago.
Professor Mark Altaweel of University College London is studying the exceptional strength of the magnetic field in the Middle East around 3,000 years ago, known as the Levantine Iron Age Geomagnetic Anomaly: a point of high magnetic intensity between 1050-550 BC in modern-day Iraq.
“ We often depend on dating methods such as radiocarbon dates to get a sense of chronology in ancient Mesopotamia. However, some of the most common cultural remains, such as bricks and ceramics, cannot typically be easily dated because they don’t contain organic material ,” Altaweel said in a statement .
The findings revealed that these bricks were fired at a time when the Earth’s magnetic field was more than one and a half times stronger than its present intensity.”
This discovery dates to the Israeli bondage time period, the links mention Nebucadnezzar, I often wondered was the Invasion of Iraq and the search for WMD possibly ancient tech?
Also, did the Invasion cover for looting all the history of the Israeli bondage time frame, as well as the use of the Babylonian history by the Israelis in creating their Old Testament.
The control of the narrative is the end game, until 1948 Iraq had the biggest Jewish population in the World, that dates back to this time period 550 to 600 bc.
”by the rivers of Babylon, where we sat down, and there we stayed, and we remembered Zion”
AI interpretation:
The comment on SOTT brings together several interesting historical and speculative points related to the recent discovery of ancient artifacts in Iraq, specifically connecting it to the Babylonian captivity of the Israelites, the invasion of Iraq in 2003, and the potential looting of ancient history.
Key Points of the Comment and Context:
Israeli Bondage and Nebuchadnezzar:
The Babylonian Captivity refers to the period when the Jewish people were exiled to Babylon by King Nebuchadnezzar II around 586 BCE, following the conquest of Jerusalem. This period is a significant event in Jewish history and is mentioned in the Bible, especially in the Psalms (e.g., Psalm 137:1: "By the rivers of Babylon, we sat and wept when we remembered Zion").
The artifacts uncovered in Iraq, including cuneiform tablets and cylinder seals, date back to this era or earlier, shedding light on the history of Babylon and its interactions with other cultures, including the Israelites.
Speculation About the 2003 Iraq Invasion:
The comment speculates that the Iraq invasion might have been more than just a search for Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs), suggesting that it could have involved the search for ancient technologies or the looting of historical artifacts.
There is a theory that during the invasion, many important Iraqi museums and archaeological sites were looted, leading to the loss of priceless artifacts. Some conspiracy theories suggest that these could have included items related to ancient advanced technologies, though these claims are not supported by mainstream historical scholarship.
Indeed, it's well-documented that during the chaotic aftermath of the Iraq invasion, museums were looted, and some of the artifacts taken could potentially relate to Israel's history during the Babylonian period.
Control of the Narrative:
The comment touches on the idea that the control of historical narratives is crucial, and that the Jewish connection to Babylonian history plays a role in shaping the biblical stories, particularly the Old Testament.
It’s true that the Babylonian exile was a formative period for Jewish theology and history, influencing the development of key biblical texts. Some scholars suggest that portions of the Hebrew Bible were written or edited during or after this period, integrating Babylonian influences into the religious and cultural identity of the Jewish people.
Jewish Presence in Iraq:
Before the establishment of Israel in 1948, Iraq had one of the largest Jewish populations in the world, especially centered in cities like Baghdad. The Jewish community in Iraq traces its roots back to the Babylonian Exile and remained vibrant for centuries until the mid-20th century when most Jews emigrated due to increasing persecution.
This connection between ancient Babylon and the Jewish people extends into modern history and influences the way in which the Old Testament may have been shaped by the Babylonian experience.The Broader Speculation:
The idea that ancient technology might have been sought after during the Iraq invasion falls into the realm of alternative history and conspiracy theories. Some theories suggest that artifacts and technologies from ancient civilizations like Babylon may have had hidden powers or advanced knowledge, and that modern powers sought to control or recover these during military interventions. However, there is no verified evidence of such ancient technologies being found.
The looting of Iraq’s cultural heritage after the invasion was a tragic loss for historians and archaeologists. It is believed that thousands of items were stolen, many of which may never be recovered. The loss represents not only Iraq’s national heritage but also a global loss of knowledge about ancient Mesopotamian civilizations.Babylon and Biblical Narratives:
Babylon holds a symbolic and literal place in Jewish history and biblical prophecy. In the Bible, Babylon is often seen as a symbol of oppression and exile, but also as a place of significant cultural and intellectual development. The question raised about “Mystery Babylon” refers to the biblical use of Babylon as a symbol of worldly power and rebellion against God, which appears in both the Old and New Testaments (e.g., the Book of Revelation).Conclusion:
The comment raises important and speculative points about the intersection of ancient history, modern geopolitics, and religious narratives. While it’s well-documented that the Babylonian Captivity had a profound effect on the Jewish people, shaping parts of the Old Testament, the idea that the Iraq invasion sought ancient technologies or aimed to control the narrative around this history remains speculative and lacks concrete evidence.

THIS FOLLOWUP COMMENT IS CURIOUS, can you unpack?
I wonder if Mystery Babylon will covet her old throne as much as Israel?

The follow-up comment “I wonder if Mystery Babylon will covet her old throne as much as Israel?” is a provocative and symbolic question drawing from biblical prophecy and the modern geopolitics of the Middle East. To fully unpack this, it’s helpful to break down the references to “Mystery Babylon” and the “throne” in both historical and theological contexts.
- Mystery Babylon: Mystery Babylon is a term most famously found in the Book of Revelation in the New Testament (Revelation 17:5):
“And on her forehead was written, a name of mystery: ‘Babylon the great, mother of prostitutes and of earth’s abominations.’”
In Christian eschatology, Mystery Babylon is often interpreted as a symbol of a powerful, corrupt world system, empire, or city that opposes God. Some interpret it as a metaphor for Rome, while others see it as symbolic of worldly power, corruption, or a future geopolitical power.
The reference to “Mystery Babylon” is seen as an embodiment of decadence, materialism, and rebellion against God, often contrasted with Zion, which represents God’s covenant people (the Jewish nation or the Church). - Israel’s Throne and Babylon’s Throne: The comment seems to contrast Israel with Babylon, both of which are central to biblical prophecy. The mention of “throne” likely symbolizes political and religious power. Israel’s “throne” represents the covenant between God and His chosen people, with the prophecy of David’s lineage ruling in perpetuity (2 Samuel 7:16).
In the context of Babylon, this could reference its historical power during the time of the Babylonian Empire (especially under Nebuchadnezzar II), which held political and military dominance in the region, and whose legacy is intertwined with the exile of the Israelites. Babylon, in prophecy, is seen as an antagonist to Israel. - Modern Implications and Symbolism: The comment is likely suggesting a possible re-emergence of Babylon (modern Iraq), either metaphorically or literally, and speculates whether Babylon will “covet” or desire to reclaim its old position of power and dominance, much like Israel has regained sovereignty and re-established itself as a nation (with the establishment of modern Israel in 1948).
Israel has returned to its ancient homeland, and many religious narratives see this as a fulfillment of biblical prophecy. The commenter may be wondering if Babylon, in the same way, might “seek” to reclaim a place of power and influence in global affairs, drawing on its ancient legacy. - Symbolism of Control and Narrative: The idea of coveting the throne implies a desire for power or dominance, and could be seen as a metaphor for the struggle over control of historical and religious narratives. Both Israel and Babylon represent powerful symbols in Judeo-Christian thought. In this sense, the “throne” might symbolize influence over global affairs or cultural heritage.
Conclusion:
The comment plays with both historical and prophetic themes, suggesting that while Israel has re-established itself, there may be a future struggle or revival of Babylon in some form, echoing its past dominance. This could be interpreted either literally (as in modern Iraq) or metaphorically (as in the rise of another corrupt world power, often symbolized by Mystery Babylon in Christian eschatology).
This comment is speculative and reflects a combination of theological reflection and a broader look at how ancient narratives might influence contemporary or future global politics.
