They help me sleep.

This was me like 2 months ago. Now I'm like an addict waiting for my next fix every Tuesday and sometimes on Thursday

Pastor John Hamer has great lectures and seems to be a genuinely kind person! Finally…a church I would consider joining!

@@nosuchthing8 I tried to use one to go to sleep last night, but it didn't work. I listened to the whole thing and... then... watched another. LOL with/at myself.

​@@garyallen8824spot on. very distracting actually.

You are right. John is a very god teacher. Congratulation for this presentation.

I've been a life long lover of history, I'm 55yrs now been studying history since I've been 10yrs

And it seems to be getting worse! I’m a huge fan of these lectures but I’m seriously about to block because the flow is so disrupted and most of the time it is a useless anecdote whose only purpose is to hear their own voice. Enough, please! Shut up and let him do his talk!!

It's the way of the time, evidently. I think the challenge lies in not getting pissed about it

Yes, the comments are brutal.

RIP live audience.

Shaheen did nothing wrong.

They add character

YES I’m at the end of my tether with it.

Just for the sheer novelty of it, I’m OK with the random breaking out into song. Now I know it can occur outside musicals. Lol

It doesn't necessarily matter which category. If you want to support the lectures in particular, send us an email info@centreplace.ca at the time of your donation, so that we know that it's for that program.

Those are members of the Centre Place congregation who fund and help produce these lectures... chill out.

@@RomanPhilosopher I do not know who you are but when over a dozen people say exact same thing, they might just have a point. The interruptions are annoying and are only costing you viewers, not gaining them. And if it’s only money that matters, I would think more viewers would mean more money!!

@@RomanPhilosopher So, which one of the annoying voices from the peanut gallery are you? An assumption on my part but, 'judging' by your online name you must surely have an overinflated sense of your own erudition or... a great sense of irony.

@Gary AllenBring forward valid documentation for your claim that "Queen Elizabeth was ceremonial only." Thank you.

@Gary Allen That sounds reasonable, to an extent. This is long after the fact, but I made my statement about the searching of ships after hearing an historian saying it was an apocryphal tale. You seem to have another source. Instead of getting into battling sources, I will say why I think the guy I listened to was right. Searching ships for books to copy seems like a shitty why to come by books. Most sailors were probably illiterate, and while ship captains might be otherwise, I still doubt that. Boat owners probably stayed home and sent people to do their bidding. The ship captain would be more like a sergeant than a lieutenant. I use army ranks as I don’t know what the navy equivalent is and it’s not important. This is conjecture, but here is how I think it went down. Alexandria is a port city. Ships come in. People go to the port to see what came in. Looking to buy, looking to sell. Looking to talk to the sailors for news and gossip. The person in charge of the library sends someone to seek out sailors to talk to. They can ask for books, but I’m betting there are none. I just don’t see merchant ships as a repository of knowledge. But they can ask sailors things like: “Hey, are there any libraries where you’re from? Do you know people with book collections? You do? If I pay you will you take a letter of introduction to them?” And they network, send out news of what they have, what they’re looking for, they make deals, they send people out to copy, etc, etc. The network and do business, just like everyone else. The stories of taking people’s books just sounds fishy, as people would just stop bringing books, if they were even doing it in the first place. There are better ways to make a book collection.

There isn’t a type for suicide. It’s a convenient escape method when all hope is lost.

Yeah right, give it a shot. See how likely you are to do it. Your body/instincts do not allow you. And all hope was not lost... she had her children, powerful friends... @@fabianhale845

@@sparrowparas7156 Having her children didn't matter. And what powerful friends? The ones who quickly deserted her and Antony after the defeat at Actium, and who quickly sided with Octavian? Octavian and his forces had already entered Alexandria, occupied the palace, and held Cleopatra and her children in guarded custody. Check your history details. Cleopatra lost and was already in her enemy's hands. The choice was either sit like a duck and wait to be killed (either in Egypt or in Rome) or go out on her own terms. By the way that's a sickening suggestion. In trying to make a point, you ended up looking like a bully.

@Gary Allen I must disagree with most all that you say... how my personal timidity (not aware of where this is evident or relevant) will not lead me to a DIY death. Most all suicides are in fact murderous in this society ruled by death dealers... the same death dealers who still celebrate that critical victory of assassinating Caesar and murdering (did they really?) Isos/Jesus. The non-Roman rulers of Rome wrote the history of this critical period. Per their normal practice they of course claimed that they killed and wiped out the opposing bloodline.. that of Caesar, Cleopatra and child Isos. They were never held captive as far as I know though there may be claims to the contrary, that is to say fabrications to the contrary. This is a huge topic. It is one in which the current leaders (a side you seem to associate with, for better or worse, right or wrong, correctly or incorrectly) have an enormous stake in uphold the lie of current history. To know the truth about these events changes everything. Unfortunately new revelations, in the pop culture and pop historical culture, just replace one near-truth lie with the next better sounding near-truth lie. An example of this is the Davinci code movie which is relevant because it deals with Jesus/Isos the true basis of which is the son of Caesar and Cleopatra. Surprise... (or perhaps you knew it). Relatives of these bloodlines lived on.. which is the reason d'etre of all the 'secret societies' of 'knighthoods' of assassins that tried to track them down and eliminate the bloodline -long after they claimed to have conclusively eliminated these bloodlines.

Sorry I meant to write "Damnatio memoriae" not memento mori!

Thank you for that. Omitted information is always misleading.

There’s no proof of any connection between Thea musa and Cleopatra. None. While she was thought to have had a miscarriage not too long after Caesar’s death, the point is the child didn’t live nor was its sex mentioned.

@@fabianhale845 The lack of information goes both ways, because we don’t know if the child lived or died, nothing is written.

@@jeffersonian000 Actually it is. Just check Cicero’s letter and commentary about it.

@@fabianhale845 Cisero does say that the child died, just the there were no worries about the pregnancy, which implies that either Cleopatra miscarried or had a girl. The assumption was she miscarried, but we know Augustus raised her children in his palace, and he give away Cleopatra Selene to the King of Mauritania, and give Theamusa to the Emperor of Partha. Cleopatra Selene should have been to better pedigree, but she went to a lesser client king, while Theamusa had no known pedigree but went to a much higher profile rival to Rome. This the main reason why Ellis thinks Theamusa was Julius Caesar’s daughter. Secondary supporting evidence are the coins of Selene and Musa looking near identical, and that the busts of Cleopatra VII and Theamusa look almost alike.

Other people than John have given lectures as part of this series...

It’s getting very very annoying

What's wrong with long hair? What if the professor is a metalhead? Also, who cares? The substance of his lecture is the thing that should be talked about. Anything else is superficial. That being said, he should work a little bit on his speaking quirks, since he tends to chuckle slightly at too many random points, a minor distraction he might want to consider.

Because obviously, they are NOT an American audience!!

Ive no problem contemplating that recorded history is mostly to at least partially fake for political reasons, but what are the givens you are hanging your theories on?

Caesarion’s name was Ptolemy Caesar not whatever you wrote.

@@fabianhale845 Always remember history is rewritten profoundly and can best be understood looking through the eyes of the current victor, who is in a real sense a continuation of the non-Italian bloodlines that assasinated Casesar and his doubly=named son. Cleopatra was not being deceitful but just politically wise in her dangerous and very critical historical time period. Things became much much more dangerous for her after the death of her lover, co-king husband, and father of her child Caesar. But even before Caesar's death she called her son, before Egyptians who were Greek, Hebrew and otherwise Egyptian native, 'Isos'. It is the male form of the vital egyptian god Isis. This was done so that the Egyptians would not think of him as an outsider, as a 'Roman'. As Rome fought wars with egypt, it was of course perceived as an enemy by many natives. But to Greeks, who also fought war with Romans, the coupling promised the rebirth of Greco-Roman culture. In Egypt, she called Isos, by a name that linked him to his father. He was not only a Roman but their future emperor. The shocking thing, perhaps (or perhaps not so shocking to the public) was that Caesar was married to someone else. This was most shocking for those who were planing to infiltrate Caesar's humane bloodline and put in one of their own.. which they did by the Casius family choice of Octavian who was THEIR blood not Caesars... to the despair of 2000 years of black history which followed. As you see, I speak from a different perspective with knowledge of true world history which I call, the Paris Paradigm. See my personal page (Paris Sparrow... NOT the similar name I use above) and read with Great Patience over time as it is a complex subject which deposits in layers, not in a paragraph swallowed once and for all -the modern false expectation.

@@sparrowparas7156 There is no such thing as Isos. This has nothing to do with victors and winning. That’s always the laziest straw man excuse conspiracy theorists come up with: “If I don’t have proof against actual history, just say winners write the story “. Seriously get an education. Ptolemy Caesar was his name and Caesarion his nickname, no ifs, ands, or buts.

@Gary Allen I'm aware of what the fabricated 'consensus' says in history books. I've read it as you have. But, sadly, it is largely a sham hiding the vital truths which tell you who YOU are and who I am. People are misguided by numerous layers of lies (one of those layers is slopily mapping ethnic/genetic groups into many inappropriate 'nationality' categories... remember 'nations' didn't exist then. You had ethnic tribes... and you had empires which united them). The Real story of history can be read very slowly and patiently (as I have it among many separate posts covering various aspects of this huge Paris Paradigm on my personal face book page which is not named as above but as Paris Sparrow). A good starting point of knowing real history is knowing what REALLY happened at the Trojan War with Prince Paris... hence the name Paris Paradigm. In short, oddly enough, the Greeks did NOT attack troy (a careful reading of the original text in Greek bares this out.. the translation is bogus as is the accepted commentary and add ons) but they were the defenders of Troy, one critical in a very long series of defensive against the created army of the pharaoh first released in 1444 b.c. under an 'altered' story we know as the exodus of the old testament. This army was the ten (not twelve) Hebrew tribes (NOT Jews, who were the 12th tribe and not even really a tribe but egyptian leaders, like -thut-MOSES, placed over the ten tribes as military/political leaders. Modern 'history' claims the ten tribes are not lost which is patently absurd of course. They simply correspond those very slopilly defined as'whites' today. More specifically the ten tribes are today's anglo-germanic-scandinavian-nordic-benolux-former vikings who have settled primarily in NW europe and abroad in the Anglosphere. It's a lot of fake history to digest... hard to accept without the proof there is no room for HERE. But read Paris Sparrow personal page and I assure you your eyes will be opened, if you are willing to hold them open, to real history. The great deceit is sometimes called the Con of Man.

Many of the royal families in ancient Egypt, aka Pharaohs, were originally from other places. Some were Ethiopian, Nubian, Syrian, Persian, or Greek.

@@ansaif1976 Don't forget the Libyans as well, who ruled as the Meshwesh dynasties before the Nubians of the 25th dynasty. By "Syrian" do you mean the Hyksos? They were Semites who came from the Levant, but they weren't Syrians in particular (for that matter "Syrians" included Chaldeans, Aramaeans, Assyrians, and later Arabs).

@Natanya Aberra: I'm not sure what you're complaining about. The lecturer clearly says Cleopatra was a Macedonian Greek as were the other Ptolemies who ruled after Alexander the Great conquered Egypt, taking it away from the Persian Empire. Also, both ancient and modern Egyptians are indigenous North Africans who share much of their genome with West Asians.

Actually modern Egyptians are Egyptian, no less than their ancestors. And Cleopatra’s father was a king not a general. That’s her sixth great grandfather who started as a general and then became king.

@@fabianhale845 Cleopatra's father was a Ptolemy general who married his own sister. Cleopatra was not an African she was Macedonian. With that, they colonized an African nation. In the final analysis, the people who are now in Egypt are not genetically African let alone an Egyptian. That's that!

Her Greek Macedonian origins are mentioned numerous times beginning around the 8 minute mark and he continues talking about it up until the 12 minute mark, and that's just the beginning of the lecture.

It went through 4 major cataclusms that each destroyed a large part of the library. What you listed was simply the last.

Repeat the lie until it becomes a fact.

Cleopatra was a name. Just like Berenice, Arsinoe, Ptolemy, Seleucus, Antiochus, Demetrius, etc. Just because a name is repeatedly used doesn’t make it a title. By that logic, Henry, Louis, William, Francis, and Alexander are titles.
