Terry Jones Links
On of my first blogs recommended the book, Barbarians, by Terry Jones and Alan Ereira. The book was accompanied by a series of video programs which was also aired on satellite TV outlets. The books and videos give a perspective on the real technological accomplishments and cultural development of the Celts, Goths, Dacians and other people dubbed "barbarians" in the propaganda accounts of ancient Rome. This link provides links to the video broadcasts and they are very complimentary to material presented in my books.

So you think you know everything about the Romans? They gave us sophisticated road systems, chariots and the modern-day calendar. And of ... all » ... all » ... all » course they had to contend with barbarian hordes who continually threatened the peace, safety and prosperity of their Empire. Didn't they? Terry Jones' Barbarians takes a completely fresh approach to Roman history. Not only does it offer us the chance to see the Romans from a non-Roman perspective, it also reveals that most of the people written off by the Romans as uncivilized, savage and barbaric were in fact organized, motivated and intelligent groups of people, with no intentions of overthrowing Rome and plundering its Empire. This is the story of Roman history as seen by the Britons, Gauls, Germans, Greeks, Persians and Africans. The Vandals didn't vandalize - the Romans did. The Goths didn't sack Rome - the Romans did. Attila the Hun didn't go to Constantinople to destroy it, but because the Emperor's daughter wanted to marry him. And far from civilizing the societies they conquered the Romans often destroyed much of what they found. Terry Jones travels round the geography of the Roman Empire and through 700 years of history - bringing wit, irreverence, passion and the very latest scholarship to transform our view of the legacy of the Roman Empire and the creation of the modern world.
Welcome to history from a different point of view...

This is a perspective on the news which you will not find in the mainstream media sources, and it is an excellent resource for friends of the Israeli nation and Jewish people.

The Rising Sea Dragon in Asia

The following website is recommended as it provides graphic photographic evidence of China's rapid militarization, a key sign that the prophecy of Ezekiel 38 is nearing its fulfillment. Readers are especially referred to both the "2006" and "2007" updates re: Chinese naval militarization.
