“The Temple of Ramesses III at Medinet Habu was an important New Kingdom period temple structure in the West Bank of Luxor in Egypt. Aside from its size and architectural and artistic importance, the mortuary temple is probably best known as the source of inscribed reliefs depicting the advent and defeat of the Sea Peoples during the reign of Ramesses III.” [X]

Plea for Jean Baptiste Duroselle's Brilliant Book, Europe: A History of its Peoples

The famous French academician Jean Baptiste Duroselle was commissioned by the Commission of the European Union (European Communities at the time) and Jacques Delors personally to author a European History of Europe, which would justify the establishment of the European Union in the 2nd half of the 20th c. as the crown of all earlier efforts to establish one state across the continent. The book was written in French (L'Europe: histoire de ses peuples, Paris, Perrin, 1990, 708 p.) and it was geared to become (as it really did) the basic textbook of European History for the secondary education of all EU member states. For this reason, numerous translations were produced at the local level, and the book became in this manner the cornerstone of the European identity; as regards countries that were not member-states in 1990 but became later, the book was translated to the official language(s) of each country after its adhesion.

As one could anticipate, the chauvinist, racist, and bogus-European state of Greece made the exception.

Slavs taken for Greeks

Being produced by the colonial powers of France and England as a pseudo-state-tool for Western European schemes against the Ottoman Empire, 'Greece' became for the first time in World History the name of a state, following the treaties of Edirne / Adrianople in 1829 and the London Protocol in 1830. In the past, 'Greek' ('Hellene') was a most pejorative term for more than 1100 years of Christian Roman and Eastern Roman rule (330-1453), whereas 'Greece' was used as a merely geographical term for this marginal and otherwise useless province which was the final receptacle of the 6th c. CE cataclysmic Slavic influx that put an irrevocable end to the existence of the Greek-speaking people in South Balkans. Eastern Roman Emperor Constantine Porphyrogenitus wrote about this fact, but the pseudo-historians of today's racist Greek state get their salaries as fake professors in order to discredit this highly intellectual emperor!

Confession of the Ancient Greek Nothingness

Even before the Christianization of the Roman Empire, the famous Edict of Caracalla (Constitutio Antoniniana; 212 CE) made it clear that there were no 'Greeks' except as a linguistic particularity within the Roman Empire; by unconditionally accepting to become citizens of the Roman Empire, all the Greek speaking people in the Balkans (south of Macedonia), in Anatolia (Asia Minor), and elsewhere admitted that there was no Greek intellectual, ideological, imperial or political, socio-behavioral and state identity. Before the Roman invasion and the subsequent unification of all lands around the Mediterranean, 'Greece' was simply a geographical term denoting lands south of Macedonia and Illyria; but there was no ethnic, tribal, linguistic, intellectual, spiritual, religious -let alone governmental- unity. That is why they were killing one another like flies; and their low level historiographers, who never attained the due spiritual and imperial level initiation to become proper, impersonal and objective, imperial scribes, wrote their nonsense (like Thucydides) uselessly expanding on civil wars – which further proliferated hatred, rancor, strife, enmity and wars among those wretched populations. 

Alexander's Capital was Babylon, not Pella, not Athens!

Only two foreign kings, Philip II of Macedon and his son and successor Alexander, invaded and imposed temporary order on those chaotic elements. But Alexander despised all things Greek, and that's why he chose Babylon as capital and the Sogdian princess Roxanne as wife, after he substituted himself to Darius III, thus becoming the Shah of the Iranian Empire.

Colonial flattery and imperial promises to South Balkan vagabonds

Now, the situation was even worse in the South Balkan confines in 1821-1828, because not even a droplet of Ancient Greek blood could be found in the veins of the local populations of Slavic, Albanian, Turkish, Vlachic, and other origin; they were speaking numerous different languages and the only means of communication among them was Ottoman Turkish. To those misfortunate populations the criminal colonial gangsters, after posturing as 'Philhellenes' and narrating cheap flimflam for idiots, sold the fallacy of a supposedly glorious past of which that wretched populace would be the hypothetical offspring.

Fake Modern Greek language to support Pseudo-Greek Racism

Believing the viciously constructed pseudo-myth of Hellenism, those populations were forced to learn a prefabricated (by the France-based Adamantios Korais) idiom (which was imposed in the schools in a dictatorial and genocidal manner) and were fooled for two consecutive centuries, being incessantly told paranoid lies about the so-called splendor of the fictional Ancient Greeks who 'had civilized the world'. This turned the execrably miserable and ethnically bastard pseudo-nation to exorbitantly arrogant braggarts whose lives depend on ceaselessly and hysterically deprecating all the other, neighboring or not, nations (notably the Macedonians, the Bulgarians, the Albanians, the Turks, and the Iranians) as culturally 'lower' people – whose ancestors were (hypothetically again) 'civilized' by the ancestors of today's Greeks!!!

Today's Greece is indeed the racist state par excellence.

Plea For Jean Baptiste Duroselle's Brilliant Book, Europe: A History Of Its Peoples

Then, Jean Baptiste Duroselle came!  

With his superb book, Duroselle quasi-automatically ridiculed all the clowns of the Greek bogus-universities (still today, it is prohibited to establish a private university in pseudo-democratic, crypto-totalitarian Greece) whereby ignorant historians, idiotic archaeologists, nonsensical political scientists, clownish Hellenists, and absolutely charlatanesque Byzantinologists (sic!) work (or perform if you like) - not to carry out true, genuine research but to subserviently support the criminal, racist dogma of Hellenism, which is the worst form of Nazism that has ever existed.

The chauvinist pseudo-Greek mob's anger against Duroselle

Then, in 1990, due to the EU demand for a Greek translation of Duroselle's book, all the mental sewerage of the uneducated, ignorant and decrepit Greek mob flooded the mass media spreading unprecedented insults against Duroselle, EU, Europe, European universities and … the rest of the world! The intellectually felonious, academically malodorous, and mentally pathetic professors of universities and academicians of Greece either kept silent or sided with the mob to become more popular as supposedly defending the 'rights' of the 'Greek' nation. This situation testifies to a well-concealed reality; the fake Greeks of the last two centuries, who are in reality a defaced populace deprived of their true Eastern Roman (not 'Byzantine') Orthodox identity, never felt as a 'European' nation. Their immense psychological complex of inferiority is therefore expressed every time a real event underscores that they are a second class, uneducated pseudo-country with no integrity, no discipline, no rule, no morals, and reason of existence.

The southeastern borders of Europe are those of Albania, Macedonia and Bulgaria.

I consider as my life's most outstanding achievement and most distinct honor that I defended Jean Baptiste Duroselle personally and his book and academic-intellectual approach against all those rascals (the mob and the Nazi elite and state of Greece), who found my 2800-word Plea for Jean Baptiste Duroselle's book as a good reason to insult me as well and to force me out.

The anti-Duroselle hysteria in Greece and the forthcoming end of Greece

The Plea was published in the Greek weekly Oikonomikos Tahydromos on the 7th February 1991, although it was written and sent on 30th August 1990. It generated more than 30 nonsensical, insulting and ridiculous responses from either biased academics (who wrote against me only to 'justify' the positions that they held without being properly qualified – which is the very common case in the meritless pseudo-state 'Greece') or uneducated mob that mistook the defense of the historical truth by me as personally insulting for them! Such is their depravity that they cannot realize that the only thing that they will finally achieve in this manner is the total nuclear annihilation of Greece.

Remember when I told you about the 16m long Book of the Dead they found intact at Saqqara? Well the Ministry for Tourism and Antiquities have posted these images of Papyus.Waziri-1 to their facebook (I'd use a news report but so far can't find one):

A picture of the papyrus slightly unrolled. On the right you can clearly see the bulk of the papyrus is now wrapped around protective padding. What you can see of the papyrus are several stanzas of hieratic in neat boxes beneath pictures of various deities
the still rolled and wrapped papyrus laying horizontally. It retains it's outer covering made from a weave of linen. It is laying on protective material.
close up shot of the rolled end of the papyrus. you can see how tightly it's rolled and the fragmenting linen covering
An lengthy image of Dr Mustafa Waziri inspecting the Waziri 1 papyrus. The image is taken in portrait showing the length of the not fully rolled out papyrus. On the papyrus you can see various scenes from the book of the dead, and various weights holding it in place. Dr Waziri is at the end inspecting the papyrus with a magnifying glass.
a section of the papyrus. it shows many stanzas of very neatly written hieratic along with accompanying images of deities
another section of the papyrus. again it shows many stanzas of very neatly written hieratic along with accompanying images of deities. On the left hand side of this image are several rows of boxes (like an excel spreadsheet table) that contain snakes. These are various inhabitants of the duat.
A close up, but slanted and out of focus view of the weighing of the heart scene. Ammit the devourer is most clearly in focus. She is sitting on a plinth before a large table piled with food. Behind her can be seen Thoth and Anubis and the scales to weigh the deceased's heart.
The Waziri 1 papyrus as it appears on display in the Grand Egyptian Museum. It is displayed all in one frame along the length of the wall. It goes out of frame on either side. The room is dimly lit to protect the papyrus.
