Episode 148 - What An Old House And An Estate Inventory Can Tell You /Update On Family of Nine Children Who Learned They Had Eight Different Fathers!

Host Scott Fisher opens this episode thanking listeners on the third anniversary of Extreme Genes. David Allen Lambert then joins him and speaks of his induction into the Sons of the American Revolution this past week with a very special bonus. Listen to the podcast to hear what it was. David then speaks about a British man who was adopted as a baby during World War II. Hear the feel good story about his late life birth family reunion. David then reveals the discovery of some of the remains of a legendary, ancient religious leader. Who was it and where was it found? Segment 1 has the answers. Finally, Japanese leaders are considering raising a World War II battleship to repatriate the remains. Hear about the controversy surrounding the proposal. David then shares his Tech Tip on creating a "Muster Family Tree" for identifying potential military people from various wars. He'll also give you another free NEHGS/AmericanAncestors.org guest user database.

Fisher next visits with Craig Chartier, who directs the Plymouth Archeological Rediscovery Project. Craig has written a masterful piece blending information found in the estate inventory of Mayflower Pilgrim John Howland, and the excavation of his 17th century home. The result is a virtual tour of the house with the objects it contained and where they were located. The objects and locations reveal many things about the man, and gives other "genies" a model for something they might be able to do to learn more about their ancestors.

Then, it's "catch up" time with Steve Anderson. Last year (Episode 100) Steve came on Extreme Genes to reveal his family's incredible secret. He had been raised in Minnesota in a family of nine children. In time, circumstances and DNA testing revealed that eight of the nine had different fathers, all different than the father who had raised them with their mother! No Extreme Genes story has ever received more attention. With the recent passing of his mother, Steve updates this incredible story.

Then, it's Preservation Authority Tom Perry answering a listener question from Maui about white spots found in a VHS tape. Can she digitize it? What does it mean? Tom, as always, has the answers.

That's all this week on Extreme Genes, America's Family History Show!

Episode 169: Exodus - New Information, (26 of 26)

For more information and sources you could check out http://akinforthetruth.net. For myself, I have not found criticisms of the central themes of this research very compelling. For example, perhaps one of the more notable argument sets I have found is that produced by the group authoring the article series “Debunking Christianity”. At their website they enlist SEVEN Criticisms of Wyatt’s Claim that he discovered and photographed a 3,500 year old “Egyptian Chariot Wheel” . On another website, a critic claims to have attempted to reproduce the route traveled by Moller and his group, a journey in which he claims that “none of the discoveries claimed in the movie “The Exodus Revealed” were observed. Unfortunately, to date, and unlike Moller and his group, they themselves produced no photographed or video documentation of their research. Therefore, to date, despite accusations of poor research and outright fraud by his critics, I personally have found no reason to doubt his findings, or his documentation. The following, regardless, seems very clearly true to me: 1) Those settlements in Goshen are clearly non-Egyptian, ancient Hebrew-like settlements; 2) Paul states clearly in Galatians that Mt. Sinai is in Arabia; 3) Paul’s statement is in concert with those of all respected historians, Christian or not; 4) The land of Midian, and the uncovered city of Madian, is in Saudi Arabia, not in the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula; 5) The crossings proposed across the Suez are not reasonable or believable, for many reasons; 6) The route proposed to have been taken by Moses when escaping from Pharaoh the first time, and then some forty years later by he and Israel, the existence of mining operations in the south and existence of dangerous nations in the north, and the geographic facts enlisted by the movie, are quite convincing to me; 7) The existence of a large beachhead at the end of the proposed route that the Israelis and Moses took, the existence of a land bridge with from the Peninsula to Saudi Arabia, and the belief by Solomon some four hundred years after the event that this point was in fact that of the crossing are powerful arguments; 8) The un-natural formations of coral to form the shapes of chariot wheels and chariot axles shown on photographs are very compelling, and seem difficult to impossible to fake; 9) Forging or faking the archaeological documentation presented in this movie seems to me difficult and unlikely. I have seen many “facts” put forth by others, supported by far more flimsy archaeological backing (e.g. Leakey’s Austalopithecus, Homo habilis, and the evolution of the whale, just to name a very few).

The ruins of an ancient town at Byblos in Lebanon

When I toured Lebanon last summer we drove an hour north out of Beirut to stop at the coastal town of Byblos or Jbeil which is ideal to visit as a day trip. The city has a long history and became important as a city state and trading port under the Phoenicians thousands of years before the birth of Christ.
