Welcome to The Genesis Papers - The results of a 30 year study of the first four narrations of Genesis, the cosmogony of Moses. Studies That are Related to The Ennead Structure of Genesis. - The following online sources do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the of The Genesis Letters web site. They are given in this section because they in some way reflect or relate to the ennead cosmogony of Moses or to ancient cosmology in general:

          Ove von Spaeth - www.moses-egypt.net - New research and investigation into the person of Moses. There have been dozens of candidates for the historical Moses and Ove von Spaeth makes a compelling argument by the correlation of a vast amount of ancient historical records that Moses was an Egyptian, next in line to be Pharaoh, who was supplanted by a relative. Moses was then exiled and his name removed from Egyptian records as if he did not exist: -

          - "... This work is inter-disciplinary to an exceptional degree, based on extensive and thorough studies within history, theology, archaeology, and history of religion as well as history of astronomy... with zeal and flair Ove von Spaeth has collected evidence from widely different sources to support his main thesis regarding Moses and his status and place in history ...".

          "... What is a treasure? Most people think of gold and jewels. Few think of knowledge. But knowledge is an even greater treasure than gold and jewels. With knowledge you can have gold and jewels - and so much more. We have heard of the Arc of the Covenant given to Moses and later placed in the Temple of Solomon. It is an important religious relict.
          Did the first Temple of Solomon also hold an ancient archive - secret documents dating back to Moses and Egypt? Historians find this hypothesis likely. If so - what knowledge was contained in this archive? What happened to it? Could it be found? - Moses supplied the archive with his own handwritten books - the Books of Moses. The archive is the original Jewish "bible" - the original Old Testament. Only the initiated - selected member of the priesthood - had access.
          This archive contained secret religious documents, which Moses got access to, when he plundered the Egyptian temples prior to the exodus. (see: www.moses-egypt.net ) ...".

          This book was a surprise. I certainly believe that Moses was to become pharaoh in Egypt. - Very interesting is also the text about the oldest alphabet (pages 183-190) and to read the entire book.
          I wish you a continued success with your research work.

It made me very happy that I found your books about Moses at the library in September -simultaneously, when ideas about Hatshepsut with a possible connection to Moses were very much present in my thoughts. I did not know your books, and a full filial relation had not entered my mind; I saw Hatshepsut only as the biblical daughter of Pharaoh. Nor did I know that the majority of the "learned" world considered Moses a fictive person.
          In the bookshop I learnt that the first book was sold out from the publishers; - and the publishers told me that the first book and the book number four were soon to be published. Volume one certainly contains material enough for consideration - but I do look forward to volume four.

          I know that you are more than aware of the opposition because of the work you are doing, but you may also know so well how to protect yourself, otherwise you would not have come this far. "Popularity" is not necessarily a blessing, and even if it is positive you should be better prepared than for war if you want to stick to the "track" all the way through. Thank you for your work.

At a recent get-together in my home a small group of guests had read and were now debating your fourth book, i.e. Volume four - "The Secret Religion". It was particularly interesting how Ms. Inger Weidner, one of the guests, had made thorough studies. It is exciting how she has read your book (and notes that you write in a language with accumulating sentences); and we all agree to the her observation that line by line, section or chapter you have researched level by level way back through times and included all the time zones of the different subjects you describe.
          Everything is thoroughly considered to the tiniest detail - your knowledge strikes us dumb. You comprise everything, nothing has been neglected, well, perhaps in your eyes, but to the reader this is a masterpiece.

A coup took place and prevented Moses from seizing the throne of Egypt which, according to ancient Jewish texts, the Rabbinical Writings, he was acknowledged to and highly educated for. From a series of untraditional sources it shows the Moses from his exile during a long time skilfully interfered politically by intrigues in order to regain the throne.

          Archaeological finds inlighten the data from the the writings of antiquity indicating the traces of important places where the Exodus people were hiding "in the desert" for more than 30 years. In scale probably never seen before in a history work, there is being included in a greater wholeness the political interfering mystery cults and religious-magical costums. - Ove von Spaeth: "The Vanished Successor" ("Assassinating Moses", Vol. 3).

There has been written a lot about the Knights Templar. many questionz have been asked - and more and more appears from the shadows ofv the past. - Cf. Ove von Spaeth's articles and his books - it also concerns the question:
          What did the Knights Templar in reality brought with them home from the ruins of King Salomon's castle in Jerusalem? It was something which shocked the Roman Curch thorougly and made the Pope make the independent of any country and king, having only the Pope as theit superior. ...
          One more subject is "the lost dimension" which Ove von Spaeth writes about in his books about Moses, i.e. the knowledge of the eternal soul always being on its way to its divine origin, through experience, reincarnation.

Genesis is a cosmogony. As such it is not history as we would write it or read it. The irregularities we find in it - were well known by the earliest Christians, especially within Alexandria (where Mark established the first school of catechism).
          Genesis is neither historical fact in the way we today would write history - nor is it fable. It is - cosmology - while even in the history of ancient cosmologies - it stands far above others.
J-P-E-D (assuming this is the current J and P sources designation)… poppy-cock… but it is quite understandable how scholars (who did not know how to read what they were looking at) would come up with a theory to explain it.

          . . . the original copies of "The Ten Commandments" chiseled into stone slabs - were actually the first four stories of Genesis written in the demotic text of the time (you wanted your people to be able to read it - right?) - these original stones were booty for Babylon when it conquered and looted the First Temple - and were subsequently lost or broken up for the value of the stone (a quartz-like and bluish topaz like material that was highly polished and reminded one of looking at water) after spending years in the Babylonian storage of looted treasures. What we have today (their written form) is Chaldean (Babylonian) script - which rightly today is called "Hebrew".
          Faithful reproductions of these stones exist in Ethiopia of today and are known there as "The Ark of The Covenant" or Ark ‘container' of the governing agreement between the King and the people governed. In the case of Israel it was an agreement between a human king and his people but between a living Providence and his adopted people. . . .

          What IS unusual is the cosmogony itself (we call Genesis). These narratives are a mosaic formed along an ennead structure (now that was common) but their depth and perfection of inner relation (so far beyond others) seems to indicate that the whole thing (the first four narrations) were give to the seer's senses during an ecstatic state (a ‘vision' which included all the senses). And for the first time the "view" that the cosmogony is written from is not one from the stance of man trying to understand the gods (or god - as Moses was not the first monotheism) but rather the narrations are written from the perspective of God - viewing man. In this way these tablets which contained the narrations in ten section - claimed to be revealed (give by the God himself - to the seer while in ecstatic state) - and this had never happened before nor after Moses in the anneals of cosmogony.
          All other cosmogonies can be read like the current vehicles of philosophy and theoplogy - which they were.  www.thegenesisletters.com  - and here is fascinating research done on Moses:
www.moses-egypt.net  of which I can personally vouch for the accuracy of his (Ove von Spaeth's) research and conclusions regarding who the historical Moses was. His books are not yet available in English.
          May I remind you that the subjects discussed above - are incidential to Church doctrine and this message only reflects my own understanding.

It seems clear to me that you have some doubt about the accuracy of the Bible. If this is the case how would you describe so many people crossing the red sea? If you mentioned this on the web site I apologize for over looking it? - Thanks, 

Daniel, Brid102@aol.com  -  (November 3rd 2001)

::   OvS's reply:    There is no greater problem with the accuracy of the Bible on this point concerning plausible history. The text informing of the 600,000 men joining the Exodus seems to have been misinterpreted.
          1000 = the Hebrew word eleph (not aleph) which also means family relatives (cf. Semitic philologist G.E. Mendelhall), thus the original meaning of the information of the Bible is: about 600 great groups, i.e. battle-groups or clans. This would most probably mean that there were a few hundred persons in every tribe/clan, each of them further divided i.e. into smaller groups like "family-tents" (households). Altogether about 6,000 men, no more.
          According to one of the Rabbinical Writings - Targum I, p 475 - at the time of the Exodus, the persecuting pharaoh said: "The number of the Israelites is very low". In addition, much more information inside and outside the Bible support this result. - Thanks for your interest,
          OvS.
 

          "... 'Bread' wrote - Quote: Moses didn't exist either. - Well Bread you are probably right, but there has been some new stuff, which indicated that he may have actually existed and that the Exodus probably took place. It is fairly complex and is explained in BAR (Bibical Archaeology Review) issue of about 2 months ago. They believe the oldest writing of the OT took place with in 100 years of the Exodus and it is called "The Song of Miriam". There is more new stuff that they have translated which dates it with in 100 years or 5 generations of the happening ..." - (BAR Nov/Dec 2003, article: "Israelites in Exile" - and further on this site the reference: www.moses-egypt.net ).

Via the Internet I read about your books and read the English version of Chapter 1 and 2. I wonder, whether there would be a similar résumé in English or German of succeeding books? I am sorry, but I am not able to read Danish, but I would even be willing to pay for a manuscript or a résumé of your researches in English. As an author of a biography about Martin Buber (Herder, Freiburg), the points you made are of high interest for me.
          If the above mentioned publications are not available in one of the two languages, would you be kind enough to answer the following questions in short:
          1.    If Moses was the son of pharaoh's daughter (the queen Hatshepsut), who was his father? How do you construct his connection with the Hebrews/Israelites?
          2.    What was the reason for the "assassination" you mention in chapter 1. Why could Hatshepsut not protect him?
          3.    Do you see any connection between Moses and Amenhotep IV (Iknaton)? Or to put the question in another way: Do you see the roots for Moses' monotheism in the sun cult(s) in Egypt?
          With kind regards and good wishes for your researches,

::   OvS's reply.    For the moment, unfortunately, no books are available in other languages. - Concerning the other questions:

          1)   In the hieros-gamos ritual Jethro (a relative to the royal family) was used as a stand in for the 12-year-old prince Tuthmosis (II). Jethro was then exiled. The Egyptian name Jethro (Iteru) is his religious title and means (God of) the Nile-river, and even in Hebrew it has the contextual meaning: flood or submerge.
          Moses (formerly high-ranking Egyptian prince) used the Hebrews (now being a mixed group, the Israelites) as his supporters in an Egyptian civil war, according to the Egyptian-Greek historian Manetho, ca. 280 BC.

          2)   There were ongoing plots against Hatshepsut when she became the ruling queen - and more so when she was crowned to be pharaoh. If her son, prince Moses, should became pharaoh one day, her status would then be the Queenmother, the most secure, high-ranking position at all for a woman at court.
          When she and her son would oppose the powerful priesthood, the latter wanted to destroy her position, a task beginning by destroying her son's position.
          Hebrew historians quoting the Rabbinical Writings - and the early Fathers of Church quoting Egyptian sources - all telling about a set up to get rid of Moses from the court. My books show and disclose important historical details from the Rabbinical Writings, placed in relation to modern Egyptian archaeology and epigraphical studies.

          3)   Even before the era of the pyramids, 2500 BC, the ancient Egyptians had a doctrine expressing "only one creator-god". This type of "monotheism" is also documented to have been known at the time of Amenhotep II who, actually, was "the evil pharaoh" mentioned in the Bible. 100-150 years later, Amenhotep IV (Akhenaten) may have been inspired by Moses' religious reform.
          Yet, in contrast to Moses' religion, the concept of the new religion of pharaoh Amenhotep IV contained e.g. a non-invisible god, and was also expressing a special political aim: to oppose the Amon-priests' organization.

THE OLD TESTAMENT. The special branch of biblical research, The "Copenhagen School", ought to look a bit closer at the archaeological finds, before the Bible to a large extend is rejected as a historical source.


A certain attention was emphasized by Nicolai Winther-Nielsen, Doctor of Theology - in the Kristeligt Dagblad (Danish daily), May 23, 2005 - that due regard should be taken to the historical statements of biblical texts. At this connection, he attacks what he call the "one-sided truth" proclaimed by the Theological Faculty of the University of Copenhagen.
           However, Niels Peter Lemche, Doctor of Theology and Professor of the said faculty, replies - on May 25, in the Kristeligt Dagblad - that Winther-Nielsen's ideas will "lead to limited reading and understanding".
          The gentlemen have flown to each other's throats and are mutually accusing each other of narrow one-sidedness and even of a kind of fundamentalism.

          How can we trust these gentlemen's scientific abilities on the basis of ideas being presented as subjective, emotional statements?
          Nevertheless, it is reliefing to know the existence of several and more diversified views at the biblical history than the massive rejection of the Bible as a historical source, which the faculty, the so-called "Copenhagen School", is representing - often very autocratically - and where the idea for instance is that Joshua's invasion of Canaan is a myth only.

          But is it? The Tell el-Amarna letters of the archives of Pharaoh Amenhotep III and Akhenaton (found in 1887) state that the city princes and governors in Canaan - at that time Egyptian dominated - for a period of some 20 years asked Egypt for help against the intruding Apiru people, i.e. the Hebrews.
          The number of years is in accordance with the biblical description stating that the invasion took place for approx. 21 years.
          The Tell el-Amarna letters and the Bible are also in accordance when it comes to names of all these leaders and their exact localities, literally repeated in the biblical "Book of Joshua".
          The corresponding probable time of the invasion has also been rejected, however on a scarce basis. Even though the name of Joshua can be found in these letters, the objection has been "the lack of proof that Joshua is identical to the biblical Joshua". From an isolated position this imay of course be true, but it does lack an overall view. - At least, the very existence of the name has to be taken into consideration and not just being ignored as it has been the practice hitherto. And why was it - the ignorance - done so thoroughly?

          These Tell el-Amarna letters are only a minor part of the indications. There exists a vast amount of more. For instance the excavation of Jericho done by John Garstang, the British Archaeologist, disclosing the collapse of city walls (with evident traces of an earth quake) - exactly as in the biblical narrative, which is also mentioning the house of Rahab on top of the wall, and a burning down of the city, and the prior looting of all metal items.
          Garstang did in fact find houses on top of the wall and remains of actual fires arranged to burn down the city, together with fact that only this city - among a number of other Jerichos built on top of each other - was totally robbed of all kinds of metal.
          A later dating, suggested by Kathleen Kenyon, another British archaeologist - however, contradicting at some points, but also partly influenced by errors - has no effect, because modern, objective, chemical analyses of ceramic coating (found in the specific city-layer) prove that the Garstang dating is the most probable.

          I do not intend to state that most of the texts in the Bible are scientific-historically true - for instance, there seems to be some omissions created by ancient editors among the copying priestly scribes, however, this is not the point here at all. But it should be noted in this connection that not long ago the established research stated similarly that even Buddha himself was a myth, and that for instance the Hittites, the city of Troy, and King Midas were all myth, too. But, all of this had to been withdrawn again following archaeological disclosures of unavoidable hard core proofs.
          Such a form of rejection as a principle is known as late as up till 1960, when the Viking bases in America 500 years prior to Columbus were alleged to be "anecdotic narratives" of the sagas; however, in the said year 1960 archaeologists found at Newfoundland, and at other east coast sites decisive traces, which to the tiniest local details are corresponding with the 1,000 year old tales.

          Although a few researchers in the 19th century had dug in the sand and by coincidence found the possible site of Babylonia, they did not find anything to justify the brilliant Babylonia of reality. Hereby, the academic critics never doubted their own judgment, so Herodotus' narrative, 450 BC, about Babylonia was considered as not only generally unreliable, but very untrustworthy.
          And when also the Bible mentions the very Nebuchadnezzar, this king was claimed to be a myth. In 1899, however, Robert Kaldewey, the German archaeologist, arrived - and during the next 20 years he found what Herodotus (and the Bible) informed about:  Nebuchadnezzar's palace, the Ishtar Gate, the foundations of the Babel Tower and, in 1913, a huge, special terrace area, which in all probability should be the famous hanging gardens.

          Also that for many years the Israelites as a people's army were wandering in the desert, was definitely claimed to be a myth, because this was being considered to have been a completely unlikely way of surviving. And the fact that Mao Zedong and his huge army - more than a hundred thousand rebel troops and their families - did exactly the same in the deserted areas of China, from 1934 and forward, did not at all change a bit of the many theologians' rejection of their alleged biblical "myth" about Moses and the Israelite Exodus.

          The interested reader can find further documentation in my book, "The Vanished Successor" ("Assassinating Moses, Vol. 3"), in which several chapters deals with the so often debated Israelite invasion of Canaan and is closely documented in details - to an extent never published before as a total presentation.
