1 ANCIENT EGYPT DATA. Ronnie Carleton [c] 2006 THE DEAD SEA SCROLLS DATA. There is a real mystery surrounding what is known as the Dead Sea Scrolls because they were discovered in the summer of 1947 in a cave close to the Dead Sea at Qumran. It was here to in Cave 3 that a copper scroll was also found in 1952 but dated 2000 years earlier and hidden there by Qumran-Essenes or so it is debated. The Dead Sea Scrolls were found in April by Arab Bedouin in the caves at Qumran in cave 1. The mystery deepenS when the scrolls found in 1947 were bought by the State Of Israel before 1967, the day that the State of Irsael was re-created, 29th November 1947. These scrolls lay hidden for 2000 years. The other 4 major scrolls were recovered later in 1954. Between 1949 -1967 all the known scrolls were recovered from all the 10 caves but not cave 11. That scroll was later recovered during the Six Day War in 1967 by the Israelis and not Jorden and known as the 'Temple Scroll'. The dating of the Dead Sea Scrolls by historians is that they were written or copied between 350 BCE and 69 BCE and this is only an opinion that most agreed with using AMS. In all there are 80,000 scroll fragments and 830 different known documents. I suggest that most of these were in fact copies of the documents that at one time were held in safe keeping by the Essenes who had lived in the area of caves around 150 CE and 68 CE. My own research shows that there is a good link between early Jewish life and also links with Ancient Egypt. THE QUMRAN ESSENES. Little is known of this sect except that they carried out a form of Judaism that was unlike that for the rest of the people and lived what is termed,a simple life. There is no doubt in my mind or opinion that they were very religious and practiced observance of such. They did not in any way like or take part in the Temple of Jerusalem rituals becausE they believed that the priests involved were 'the sons of darkness'as well as the priests being involved in Jewish festivals at the wrong time of the year. More than likely this was because the 'normal' Jewish community and the priests used a lunar calendar rather than the Solar based one that the Essenes used. They buried their dead naked in unmarked graves and with no form of adornments. Belief in the immortality of the soul or spirit was strong but not in their own physical resurrection though there was a form of afterlife. Their arrival in the area is still surrounded in mystery because no one knows where they came from but they had settled on the shores of the Dead Sea around 150 BCE. In 31 BCE there was it seems a massive earthquake in this area and the packed up and left for a time but returned in 4 BCE, the same year as the birth of Christ. Come 68 CE they vanished and no one knows where. My research suggests that they had no temples but did have solemn initiatory rites and anyone joining had to remain a novice for a solar year. They were I suggest a very 'purist' group and tested from time to time over their first two years. They did not kill anything and it could well be that John The Baptist was an Essene with a real possibility that Jesus himself may well have had some contact well before Christianity was formed and this was the seed for the future religion.

2 There is also a suggestion in my research that the Essenes did dabble in the occult and had many magical secrets, including herbal medicine and some minerals. There is without doubt good evidence that they were a 'wilderness community' and this is what they wanted. Before even the birth of Christ, 100 years before, they worshiped a man known as 'The Great Teacher.'Who this was we don't yet know but this group did believe in the coming of the Messiah, 'The Anointed One.'.Passover was not practiced on a Friday but on a Wednesday which agrees with the passover service of the known Fourth Gospel. For some reason they do coincide with what Jesus would be later teaching,suggesting again, that he had some early contact with this group because he was it seems well versed in Essene thought. They wore white garments which I should point out were not at that time anyway common in what is now known as the Holy Land. These were mad from linen which also suggests they grew flax or gathered it wild for the purpose of clothing and ritual. It also suggests that at the tomb of Christ, one or two males were seen and recorded dressed in white who may well have been from this group. Whoever the men were they were not known to Christ's followers. Orthodox Judaism never spoke or wrote of the 'soul'the concept being alien to Jewish thinking of that time and even today but it does seem that it was taken by the followers of Christ as part of there belief and was always part of the belief of the Essenes and Ancient Egypt. There is therefore a real possiblity that Jesus as a child and young man was exposed to both from a religious point of view. The copper scroll was in fact discovered in a cave on the 20th March 1952. As caves go this one was 2km north of Qumran and was only 10m deep with a caved in roof to boot. The copper scroll was found in a 3 m chamber. Why was this scroll copper when the Dead Sea Scrolls were not? I had to go back to the finding of the Dead Sea Scrolls first in order to try and find answers to both finds and if possible, what in fact they suggested. A boy from the Ta'amireh Tribe, semi Bedouin, had in fact lost one of his goats and went off in search of it on the limestone cliffs above him. From all accounts it was a hot summers day and he took a rest up on the cliff, spotted a hole no larger than a man's head and went to look. The hole was high but led into a cave of sorts and he threw a stone into it expecting to hear the echo of rock on rock by instead the sound was much more hollow than that. He pulled himselfup to the hole and looked in seeing after a time,shards of pottery as well as a number of large cylindrical objects in rows. They were in fact large wide necked pottery jars with some broken and lying close to the rest. Fear set in because there was it seems the fear of the Jinn, evil spirits or ghosts. The boy and his heard of goats took of at speed towards the nearby camp and that night told an older friend of his find. Both boys returned the next day to the cave, this time getting inside the cave and got to see 8 unbroken jars standing in a line. The jars had bowl like lids. A few of the jars were empty but in the third one discovered what they took to be a bundle of old rags, not gold as they had hoped. On touching one of the bundles they discovered that it would crumble. There was however a tarry substance as well as a leather bundle underneath and took this back to their camp and unrolled it in a tent. Unknown to them this long bundle of script was later said to be the manuscripts of Isaiah. None of it made any sense to the two boys so it was rolled up and packed away in their belongings and for a time forgotten about. My research shows that this tribe were also known to carry out highway robbery, even murder and always found a smuggling market for their trading in Bethlehem. From a legal point of view the tribe also sold

3 milk and cheese here at a market. It was on such a market day that the two boys took with them the three scrools as well as other goods. The man they normally sold to was in fact an Assyrian Christian, known locally as 'Kando' and who's real name was Khalil Iskander Shanin who also owned a cobbler's shop and took a look at the leather thinking it may well be of use in his business. A deal was made and the 3 scrolls lay in a corner of the shop for a few days until the owner, Kando took a closer look at them. The writings meant nothing to him so he took the scrolls to a spiritual guardian that he knew in Jerusalem. This person lived in the Syrian Convent of St.Mark which was in the old city. Kando was no fool when it came to money matters and the interst shown in the scrolls suggested as he knew where they had in fact been found it was time for himself and a few others to mount a small expedition to the cave. Seven scrolls and fragments were in fact removed from the cave by the boys and later Kando. The Syrian officials now were very interested when they returned and they in turn went back to the caves and removed anything they could without any archaeology planning in place. The property was of course by law owned by the Mandate and much later by the Jorden Government but the finds were kept a close secret resulting of course in more damage to the scrolls. Wrappings and all the pottery shards it seems were dumped on the cave rubble that now lay outside. The Church Leader paid Kando around 25 pounds sterling then began sounding out with other people what they really might be worth. A Jewish professor now had one of the scrolls and set out to obtain the rest at great risk to himself because of a war raging as the Mandate withdrew. Kando and the professor did a deal. The fragments and possible other scrolls that Kando had buried in his back garden had in fact turned to a wet mush. There was in time parts of the finds spread across the world, the bulk of them ending up in the USA with buying and smuggling such being the order of the day at this time. Once all the caves had in fact been discovered or thought to be deals had to be done and done quickly and everything brought together so that the writings could in fact be looked at more closely. My research shows that 7 documents were in fact taken from the first cave at Qumran; 2 manuscripts of the Book Of Isaiah, the manaul of creed and conduct of the Jewish sect owning the scrolls, a collection of psalms, the order of battle for a war between the Children Of Light and Children of Darkness, some information also on the Book of Habakkuk, a scroll that mentions the book of Genesis but more updated and written in Aramaic. The spoils therefore I discovered were divided between the Hebrew University who had 1 of the Isaiah scrolls, the hymns,the war scroll,and 2 released extracts which were later published in Hebrew and much later translated into English. The USA published the other Isaiah Scroll, the Habakkuk script,and the Manual of Discipline within 3 years after they had been obtained. It seems that also some of the fragments were edited in Jerusalem that had been found in cave 1 by Father Milik as well as the texts of Murabba'at as the largest fragments from cave 4.Cave 4 it seems had more to offer than cave 1 which took several years to edit by a team put together in Jerusalem. The Scrolls now had a very international character with the team members from Europe and the USA. In fact the edges of many of the scrolls had been destroyed by damp or worms resulting in my opinion of a jig-jaw of information and at times poor editing. What is not known to the general public is that some of the scrolls were recorded in a number of secret codes that had to be deciphered resulting in mistakes being made at first because they had in fact been nothing more than new alphabets. There is links here to the Sectarians who wanted to keep many of the works a secret with most

4 of the words being written backwards as well as a number of their own invented alphabets. This included Latin, Greek, Phoenician and Aramaic. I will deal with the Biblical Texts translations later in this data.

American Drugs in Egyptian Mummies: A Review of the Evidence Samuel A. Wells

Abstract: The recent findings of cocaine, nicotine, and hashish in Egyptian mummies by Balabanova et. al. have been criticized on grounds that: contamination of the mummies may have occurred, improper techniques may have been used, chemical decomposition may have produced the compounds in question, recent mummies of drug users were mistakenly evaluated, that no similar cases are known of such compounds in long-dead bodies, and especially that pre-Columbian transoceanic voyages are highly speculative. These criticisms are each discussed in turn. Balabanova et. al. are shown to have used and confirmed their findings with accepted methods. The possibility of the compounds being byproducts of decomposition is shown to be without precedent and highly unlikely. The possibility that the researchers made evaluations from of faked mummies of recent drug users is shown to be highly unlikely in almost all cases. Several additional cases of identified American drugs in mummies are discussed. Additionally, it is shown that significant evidence exists for contact with the Americas in pre-Columbian times. It is determined that the original findings are supported by substantial evidence despite the initial criticisms.

In a one-page article appearing in Naturwissenschaften, German scientist Svetla Balabanova (1992) and two of her colleagues reported findings of cocaine, hashish and nicotine in Egyptian mummies. The findings were immediately identified as improbable on the grounds that two of the substances are known to be derived only from American plants - cocaine from Erythroxylon coca, and nicotine from Nicotiana tabacum. The suggestion that such compounds could have found their way to Egypt before Columbus' discovery of America seemed patently impossible. The study was done as part of an ongoing program of investigating the use of hallucinogenic substances in ancient societies. The authors themselves were quite surprised by the findings (Discovery, 1997) but stood by their results despite being the major focus of criticism in the following volume of Naturwissenschaften. Of the nine mummies evaluated, all showed signs of cocaine and hashish (Tetrahydrocannabinol), whereas all but one sampled positive for nicotine. It is interesting too that the concentrations of the compounds suggest uses other than that of abuse. (For example, modern drug addicts often have concentrations of cocaine and nicotine in their hair 75

5 and 20 times higher respectively than that found in the mummy hair samples.) It is even possible that the quantities found may be high due to concentration in body tissues through time. Without question, the study has sparked an interest in various disciplines. As Balabanova et. al. predicted, "…the results open up an entirely new field of research which unravels aspects of past human life-style far beyound [sic] basic biological reconstruction."

The Criticisms The biggest criticism of the findings of Balabanova et. al. was not necessarily directed at the extraction process per se, although this was discussed. The biggest criticism was that cocaine and nicotine could not possibly have been used in Egypt before the discovery of the New World, and that transatlantic journeys were not known - or at least they are highly speculative. It is safe to say that the criticisms of the study would have been minimal or nonexistent if the findings had been made of Old World drugs. Such findings, in fact, would not have been at all unusual as the use of stimulants were known in Egypt. Poppy seeds and lotus plants have been identified for just this use in manuscripts (the Papyrus Ebers) and in hieroglyphs (as Balabanova et. al. show). Schafer (1993) argues that, "the detection of pharmacologically active substances in mummified material never proves their use prior to death." He argues that such compounds could have been introduced as part of the mummification process. The suggestion is that (especially) nicotine could have been introduced around the mummy (and subsequently absorbed into its tissue) as an insecticide (being used as a preservative) within relatively modern times. A similar criticism was raised by Bjorn (1993) who wondered if nicotine might have been absorbed by the mummies from cigarette smoke in the museums where the mummies have been preserved. According to Schafer, the only way to show that the compounds were taken into the bodies while they were alive would be to find different concentrations at different distances from the scalp - a procedure not undertaken by the authors. Another interesting criticism of Schafer (1993) is that Balabanova et. al. might have been the victims of faked mummies. Apparently people (living in the not too far distant past) believed that mummies contained black tar called bitumen and that it could be ground up and used to cure various illnesses. In fact the very word 'mummy' comes from the Persian 'mummia' meaning bitumen (Discovery, 1997). A business seems to have developed wherein recently dead bodies where deliberately aged to appear as mummies and that some of the perpetrators of such deeds were drug abusers. The criticism that seems most popular is that the identified drugs might have been products of "necrochemical and necrobiochemical processes" (Schafer, 1993; Bjorn, 1993). One explanation is that Egyptian priests used tropine-alkaloid-containing plants during the mummification process that subsequently underwent changes in the mummy to resemble the identified compounds. Yet another argument is that there is nothing in the literature showing that any of the three compounds have been identified in bodies that have been dead for some time.

Reply to the Critics Analytical Techniques and Contamination

6 In the study, samples were taken from nine mummies that were dated from between 1070 B.C. to 395 A.D. The samples included hair, skin and muscle were taken from the head and abdomen. Bone tissue was also taken from the skull. All tissues were pulverized and dissolved in NaCl solution, homogenized, and centrifuged. A portion of the supernatant was extracted with chloroform and dried and then dissolved in a phosphate buffer. Samples were then measured by both radioimmunoassay (Merck; Biermann) and gas chromatography / mass spectrometry (Hewlett Packard) - hereinafter GCMS. This is the procedure used to produce what McPhillips (1998) considered indisputable evidence for confirming products of substance abuse in hair. Within recent years, hair analysis has been used more commonly in this kind of screening process and the techniques employed have been optimized. Mistakes are known to have occurred in some cases evaluating for metals, but the ability to detect drugs such as cocaine, nicotine, and hashish seem not been problematic (Wilhelm, 1996). The two possible mistakes in analyzing hair for drugs include false positives, which are caused by environmental contamination; and false negatives, where actual compounds are lost because of such things as hair coloring or perming. In recent years, these techniques of hair analysis have revealed the interesting findings of arsenic in the hair of Napoleon Bonaparte, and laudanum in the hair of the poet Keats. The procedure includes a thorough washing of the hair to remove external contaminants followed by a process of physical degradation using a variety of methods (such as digestion with enzymes or dissolution with acids, organic solvents, etc.,). Following these preparatory procedures, the hair is then analyzed. Antibody testing (e.g. radioimmunoassay) is a well-established procedure although there is small potential of obtaining false positive results. These are mainly caused by the crossreactivity of the antibody with other compounds, including minor analgesics, cold remedies and antipsychotic drugs - compounds not likely to be found in Egyptian mummies. Because of the possible false positives, chromatography (GC-MS) is routinely utilized to confirm the results. The suggestion of nicotine contamination from cigarette smoke is eliminated by the use of solvents and/or acids in the cleaning process - methods used by Balabanova et. al. and all other researchers that have documented drugs in mummies. The validity of Balabanova's findings seems to be vindicated at least so far as the analytical methods used in the study. The authors' methods as well as those in the additional findings reported here (see below) have used the combination of immunological and chromatographic methods to both analyze and confirm samples. Faked Mummies The argument that the mummies might have been modern fakes was investigated by David (Discovery, 1997). David is the Keeper of Egyptology at the Manchester Museum, and undertook her own analysis of mummies, independent of Balabanova's group. In addition, she traveled to Munich to evaluate for herself the mummies studied by Balabanova's group. Unfortunately the mummies weren't available for filming and they were being kept isolated from further research on grounds of religious respect. David had to resort to the museum's records. She found that, except for the city's famous mummy of Henot Tawi (Lady of the Two Lands) the mummies were of unknown origin and some were represented only by detached heads. David's inability to examine the mummies herself may have kept the possibility of faked ones open; however, her evaluation of the museum's records seemed to indicate otherwise. The mummies were

7 preserved with packages of their viscera inside. Some even contained images of the gods. In addition the state of mummification itself was very good. The isolated heads may have been fakes (evidence one way or the other is lacking) but the intact bodies examined in Balabanova's research were clearly genuine. Chemical Changes The argument that the identified drugs might be byproducts of decomposition is highly unlikely. The argument appears to resemble a 'Just So' story of biochemical evolution without the benefit of natural selection. Schafer (1993) admits that natural decomposition or mummification has never led to the synthesis of cocaine or related alkaloids but leaves the possibility open anyway. He argues that the compounds in question might theoretically have been produced by tropine-alkaloidcontaining plants (such as were present in species that were utilized in the mummification process). The benefit of the doubt in this case clearly goes to Balabanova et. al. Until it is shown how cocaine could be produced in this way, the argument is hypothetical at best. Isolated Example The detection of drugs in human hair is a fairly recent endeavor (McPhillips, 1998; Sachs, 1998). A few compounds were identified during the 1980's but it wasn't until the 1990s that drug screening via hair analysis became accepted and used as a possible alternative to urine sampling. The criticism that no known cases of cocaine, nicotine, or hashish have been reported in human hair must, therefor be interpreted with clarification. None of these compounds had been observed in human hair because the process had not been fully developed, nor had the application even been considered until quite recently. Even then the claim is not true. Cartwell et. al. (1991) using a radioimmunoassay method detected cocaine metabolites in preColumbian mummy hair from South America. In this study two out of eight mummies analyzed showed cocaine metabolites. All samples tested were confirmed by a separate laboratory (Psychomedics Corporation, Santa Monica, California) using GC-MS. The two mummies testing positive were from the Camarones Valley in northern Chile. The artifacts as well as the mummies at this site were typical of Inca culture. Since the initial work of Balabanova et. al., other studies have revealed the same drugs (cocaine, nicotine, and hashish) in Egyptian mummies, confirming the original results. Nerlich et. al. (1995), in a study evaluating the tissue pathology of an Egyptian mummy dating from approximately 950 B.C., found the compounds in several of the mummy's organs. They found the highest amounts of nicotine and cocaine in the mummy's stomach, and the hashish traces primarily in the lungs. These findings were again identified using both radioimmunoassay and GSMS techniques. Very similar results were again found in yet another study by Parsche and Nerlich (1995). Again, the findings were obtained using the immunological and chromatographic techniques. David's work (Discovery, 1997) though not finding cocaine, did confirm the presence of nicotine. This finding has seemed a little less threatening to conservative scholarship in that it seems possible (albeit unlikely) that a nicotine-producing plant may have existed in Africa within historic times only becoming extinct recently. Such a possibility might allow for a comfortable resolution to conservative scholarship but doesn't explain the evidence of cocaine. Additionally, the possibility of a native plant going extinct is

8 unlikely. Much more reasonable would be that an introduced species under cultivation could go extinct, yet this only begs the question of the original provenance of the species. In any event, considering the several confirmations of Balabanova's work (as well as that of Caldwell et. al. prior to her study) it appears that the argument against their findings based on too little evidence is quickly vanishing (if not already obviated). Pre-Columbian Voyages to America The major reason for the initial criticisms to Balabanova's work is the disbelief in pre-Columbian transoceanic contacts. Egyptologist John Baines (Discovery, 1997) went so far as to state, "The idea that the Egyptians should have traveled to America is overall absurd…and I also don't know anyone who spends time doing research in these areas, because they're not perceived to be areas that have any real meaning for the subjects." Another interpretation on why researchers haven't considered the subject closer is given by Kehoe (1998), "After mid-century, any archaeologist worried about money or career avoided looking at pre-Columbian contacts across saltwater [p. 193]." It appears that acknowledging that pre-Columbian contacts occurred was not academically acceptable. Kehoe (1998) also gives examples of several researchers whose work has been academically marginalized because it supported these views (e.g. Stephen Jett, Carl Johannessen, Gordon Ekholm, Paul Tolstoy, and George Carter). Surprising at it may seem, evidence for early ocean voyages to America from the Old World is not lacking - nor is it negligibly verifiable. Within the last two years, two periodicals, focusing on these contacts have been established. The first, entitled Pre-Columbiana, is edited by Stephen C. Jett, Professor of Clothings and Textiles at the University of California, Davis; the second is entitled Migration and Diffusion and is edited by Professor Christine Pellek in Vienna, Italy. There is certainly quite a bit of spurious reports of early contacts from the Old World, however, a general disregard for all of the evidence is, anymore, itself evidence of academic negligence, as these two periodicals indicate. A bibliography of these early contacts is given by John Sorensen (1998) in the first issue of PreColumbiana. It is a good example of the kinds of evidence being uncovered by legitimate researchers and institutions. The bibliography is itself a condensation of a two-volume work of these publications and includes titles such as: The world's oldest ship? (showing evidence for a preColumbian ship in America) published in Archaeology; Peruvian fabrics (showing very strong similarities between Peru and Asia) published in Anthropological papers of the American Museum of Natural History; Robbing native American cultures: Van Sertima's Afrocentricity and the Olmecs (showing evidence for connections between Africa and the Olmecs of Middle America) published in Current Anthropology; Possible Indonesian or Southeast Asian Influences in New World textile industries (showing at least three textile-related inventions that appear in both Indonesia and the New World) published in Indonesian Textiles; and, Genes may link Ancient Eurasians, Native Americans, published in Science. And the list goes on and on - some evidence being better than others - but as a whole it seems pretty much irrefutable. Claims to the contrary seem to be made by individuals with a vested interest in the isolationist position. The evidence, pro and con, when evaluated objectively, would seem without question, to favor the diffusionist position (which claims that pre-Columbian contacts took place).

Considerations

9 The initial reaction to the findings of Balabanova et. al. were highly critical. These criticisms were not based on a known failing in the authors' research methodology, rather they were attempts to cast doubt on an implication of the research - that cocaine and nicotine were brought to Egypt from the New World before Columbus. This conclusion is not acceptable to conservative investigators of the past. In fact it suggests a deep-rooted aversion to what Balabanova suggested might mean an unraveling of aspects of history contrary to basic reconstructions. This aversion, according to Kehoe (1998) stems from the conviction that Indians were primitive savages destined to be overcome by the civilized world - that the acme of evolutionary success resided in the conquering race itself. "Childlike savages could never have voyaged across oceans." Balabanova's findings bring yet other evidence forward that humanity is not so easily pinioned into the pre-conceived notions of primitive and advanced - even as this might be related to the presumed technology of earlier times. The quest for discovery - to find new worlds - is not just a modern selective advantage of our species. Perhaps it is the defining characteristic. Literature Cited: Balababova, S., F. Parsche, and W.
