The God Culture: The Philippines is the Land Before Time

Image
Timothy Jay Schwab of The God Culture has released another series of videos about the Philippines showing once more just how ridiculous he is. The gist is that he is either unable to read or is willingly misinterpreting old maps. In the first video he claims the phantom island Antilia shown on several Renaissance maps is actually the Philippines. The Famed Isle of Antilia: The Land Before Time in the Philippines. Solomon's Gold Series: Part 15A I am going to cut to the chase here and state it as plainly as I can. The Island of Antilia has NOTHING to do with the Philippines. Tim cites the Wikipedia entry for this island in his video but he neglects to mention the origin of the legend of this island. It originates from an old Iberian legend, set during the Muslim conquest of Hispania c. 714. Seeking to flee from the Muslim conquerors, seven Christian Visigothic bishops embarked with their flocks on ships and set sail westwards into the Atlantic Ocean, eventually landing on an island

The God Culture: Lapu-Lapu Did Not Reject Colonialism

Here we go again. Timothy Jay Schwab of The God Culture is spouting off more false history about the Philippines. One need not even watch his videos to know he is lying as falsehood comes naturally to him. This time he makes the claim that Lapu-Lapu killed Magellan in a defiant act against colonialism. Is this true? Of course not! https://youtu.be/130c3XUuPEs Today is a very special day for the world . It marks the five hundredth anniversary of one of the greatest stories in the fight to stop foreign invaders from coming in and taking over our lands.  Y es, the story of a man and his followers who indeed stopped the invasion, killing their leader Magellan.  Then in a separate encounter killing his replacement and brother-in-law and other leaders and then they chased them out of the country with a fleet of ships.  That’s what Pigafetta’s journal says , and we cover.  This is an inspiration to the whole world  who was being conquered by colonialism yet this man and his people put up a st

The God Culture: Finding Chryse: Don't Follow Biased Paradigms

A recurring comment left by the God Culture on this blog is that I have not disproven their entire thesis which is that the Philippines is Ophir, Tarshish, Sheba, Seba, the Garden of Eden, and that Filipinos are part of the Lost Tribes of Israel. They are correct. I have not disproven that magical cornucopia of a thesis. On the other hand they have not proven what they assert. They have gathered a lot of circumstantial information, misinterpreted much of it, and have declared that all roads lead to the Philippines.  It is not my intention to pull down the entire edifice of the God Culture in one fell swoop. It is simply not possible to do so. The amount of information they present is overwhelming and many of their conclusions rest upon their own biases. It is like disputing with a schizophrenic who claims to be the Messiah and that aliens are out to get him. You don't dive in head first and deny his claims point blank. You come around from the side and show him one-by-one how his b
