as well as a

"Dictionary Of Names" for the people and places referred to in those books, with a separate section called "The Realm of Mythology" for all the non-Yehudit (Hebrew) gods and goddesses (though there are overlaps).

and a great deal more besides, including

Essays on specific subjects

and

Translations of major works from the wider realm of the Bible, such as the Egyptian "Am Tuat" and "The Tale of the Two Brothers".

The Ghetto of the Christians - added March 2020, with pages on every one of the "Lost" and "Forbidden" Gospels, and the four Canonical Gospels to follow shortly, as well as a full pre-history of Jesus, setting the religious and political context of his epoch.

and commencing March 2022, starting with an introduction and adding them one by one, the complete Book of Psalms (T
ehilim)

Yesha-Yahu (Isaiah) will then follow, but may take a little longer.


And for the travellers in time and place among you:

A Walking-Tour of Jerusalem

"The Badge & The Cross": a history of the Jews of the UK

The Travels of Benjamin of Tudeila

all three currently under under construction




How will I know what is original and what is the update?

Very simple: if the Bible text uses the word "Hebrew", it's the original; if instead is uses the word "Yehudit", it has been updated.

If the Transliteration is in unbolded purple, and the King James likewise, it's the original; if, instead, the Transliteration is in Bold, and the King James in Burgundy Red, it has been updated.

If the copyright at the foot of the page does not have the Argaman helix logo, it's the original; if it does, it has been updated.
