Copper Scroll Update 29 June 2010
Hello Everyone!
Please forgive me for not updating sooner. There was a reason however.
Your prayers and kind letters in support, even during the last few months, for the Copper Scroll Project have been wonderful.
Many of you know, several persons in the archaeological field were very unhappy that the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) used my research to conduct a dig in Israel while our team stood by waiting, prepared to assist in the event of a discovery. Some more paranoid individuals even went to Israel to speak with the kind and insightful archaeologist that worked with us. I hope that the good men and women of the IAA did not receive a lot of grief for doing the excavation that barely scratched the surface at Qumran. The people of the IAA have been most kind and at least had the foresight to mark three of the locations based on my findings. As many of you know and unfortunately, we only dug a fraction of the depth required to make a discovery. I cannot tell you why the dig was so shallow…and any speculation would only add to the confusion. We cannot confirm, nor can we deny that the items of the Copper Scroll remain at the site identified by my investigation. We can tell you that we have not given up. We must convince the IAA to go to the proper depth for at least five of the 57 locations to test for remaining artifacts. I pray that the right person reads the coming book, sees our website or hears about our goals and helps open the final door to allow us to finish testing Qumran.
Out of concern for the kind people in Israel, we held back our Copper Scroll Project Updates to keep the bizarre attacks from reaching Israel anymore than they already had. The endless barrage from a few academics makes me wonder why they are so concerned. If I am the under qualified individual they think I am…why did they go to Israel and spend so many hours writing and creating internet blogs to discredit me…it is strange what people do when they are fearful. The best way to prove the items no longer exist at Qumran, is to convince the IAA to finish the dig and properly test the locations.
According to an individual at the producer’s office, one of the men even contacted the production company for the Travel Channel and gave them a very hard time attempting to stop the show…I wonder why? Maybe they know the research is correct and want to figure out how I did it first. The proper and intelligent thing to do is, put our heads together in mutual respect, test the site and if they exist, bring the treasure of the Temple and Tabernacle back to their rightful owners…the Nation of Israel. The petty maneuvering and name-calling serves no respectful purpose. That, my friends and those interested in the project, is why you have not heard from us, to reduce the embarrassing rhetoric pouring from the United States from a few disgruntled academics.
During the last few months, I was hard at work on the book to reveal my work to the world. With God’s help, the scheduled release of my document revealing the findings for all of the locations of the Copper Scroll, is the middle of July 2010. It will contain maps giving a bird’s eye view and a photo for all but two locations. One of those locations without a photo is the only Copper Scroll description I cannot narrow down, the other, I had no usable photos to present. The book will only be in digital format for electronic books and computers at first in an attempt to keep the price as low as possible. The book will have over 250 pages with nearly that many photos and the graphics driving the cost of a hard copy up considerably. I want to prove to everyone why so many people believe in my work, and the many visuals make my point very clear.
With respect to those expending so much energy trying to sidetrack my research, I ask that they consider what happens if I am correct. How will they justify their less than dignified actions as educated individuals. How will the academic establishments and universities they are associated with perceive those same actions? What will they say when the media asks why they were so sure the uneducated firefighter was wrong, when the entire time he was correct.
Go to our updated Copper Scroll Project website if you good folks want to reserve a copy of the book and decide for yourselves if the research has possibilities.
Thank you all so much for your patience and again please forgive me for having to hold back the updates, but I had to consider the big picture. We were asked to wait to the last minute to give the show time for the Travel Channel Program, Secret Worlds we filmed in Israel so the unkind few would not have time to stop the program from being aired. Please tune in! We are encouraging everyone to send a quick note to the Travel Channel and ask them to air the program again to support the producers that singled us out to interview for the program. They will get recognition and we will get more publicity to make people aware of our project.
