Egyptian-Celtic Wisdom Text Warns of Exodus Comet and Impending E.L.E. (Extinction Level Event)

The Kolbrin Bible is a substantial Biblical-era wisdom text of immense value to comparative religion scholars, space threat researchers and philosophers. The earliest books of this ancient manuscript were written following the Hebrew Exodus from Egypt. Unlike the Holy Bible and the Koran, however, it offers a view of ancient times that bridges secular and religious thought. It shows the reader how the ancients pooled their teachings together to overcome the worldwide series of catastrophes that spawned the Exodus. It also sends forth clear, urgent warnings of a repeat of those catastrophes from across the millennia to those of us living today. It also teaches us how, as a species, we can survive and overcome them.

The work is 384,587 words long and is available from Your Own World Books in both paperback (596 Pages, 8.268" x 11.693") and eBook (Adobe, Microsoft, Mobipocket, Palm) editions. The print and Adobe eBook second editions offer an index with over 2700 unique entries. All editions are designed for collaborative group study.

Imagine Biblical "End-Times" prophecies happening in your lifetime! Does thinking about disasters like the three days of darkness and the Wormwood predictions trouble you when you're alone in the still of the night? If so, the "End-times" knowledge in a Bible-era wisdom text called
The Kolbrin Bible offers new hope through new insights. Parts of it were written in the very days when Jesus walked the Earth, and it echoes the warnings of the Bible, that we could be in the "End-Times!" Yet, it also tells us some of the ways in which the ancients survived their "End Times."

Unlike the rare and arcane texts used by Bible researchers,
The Kolbrin Bible offers a familiar way to understand Bible prophecy. Written with families in mind, it offers simple "you-were-there" style accounts of many of the disasters also mentioned in the Bible. As a historical text, it covers the period between Exodus and the latest additions to the New Testament.


Newly Revealed 3600-Year Old Wisdom Text
Describes Extinction of the Dinosaurs

Historical Account in Newly Revealed Ancient Text Challenges Chicxulub Impact Dinosaur Extinction Theory

Marshall Masters, July 2006

In recent years, scientists have begun to challenge the popular K-T extinction event theory advanced by Nobel laureate physicist, Luis Alvarez. In 1990, he found evidence of a large impact resulting in an Extinction Level Event (E.L.E) in what is now Chicxulub, Mexico. His theory that this E.L.E. wiped out the dinosaurs some 65 million years ago was soon adopted. However, an increasing number of modern scientists are now casting doubts on his theory. Furthermore, a newly released 3600-year old wisdom text called
The Kolbrin Bible supports these challenges to Alvarez’s theory with a prescient human account.

At the core of this E.L.E. debate is a thin global layer of iridium that capped the living presence of dinosaurs on this planet. It is called the KT boundary. Iridium is rarely found on the surface of the Earth, but it is common to asteroids, and there is a sharply defined global layer of Iridium that dates back to the Chicxulub impact event.
Doubts about Alvarez’s theory are founded in equally credible explanations of the KT boundary. One notable theory is the "KT-Deccan Traps volcanism-induced carbon cycle perturbation extinction theory" of Dewey McLean, Professor Emeritus of Geology in the Department of Geological Sciences, Virginia Polytechnic Institute, Blacksburg, VA. Besides the science, what makes McLean’s theory attractive is the amount of effort Alvarez has invested to suppress it.

While precise dating of deep time events is difficult at best, ample evidence exists to suggest that at about the same time Alvarez’s asteroid cratered the Yucatan peninsula, a hotspot volcano produced the Deccan Traps eruption with equally devastating results. Unlike an explosive supervolcano event such as the last Yellowstone eruption, the miles-thick Deccan Traps eruption flowed out over thousands of square miles, and released massive amounts of iridium into the atmosphere. Sizable remnants of this lava pile still exist on a volcanically active Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean.

Enter
The Kolbrin Bible. The first part of this 11-book secular anthology was authored by Egyptian academics after the Jewish Exodus and is referred to as the Egyptian Texts. The last part was authored by Celtic priests shortly after the death of Jesus. Within the Book of Gleanings is one passage that clearly supports the K-T Deccan Traps of Dewey McLean:

"GLN:3:5 In olden times, there were spawned great monsters
and beasts in fearful form, with frightful gnashing teeth and long ripping
claws; an elephant was but a rat in comparison with them. Then, because of heavenly rebellion and turmoil, and the terror overwhelming the hearts of men, The Great One hardened the face of the land, which had become unstable, and the beasts were changed to stone. This was beforetimes, when the Destroyer still slumbered in the upper vaults of Heaven."
The reference to an object the Egyptians called the "Destroyer" is repeated often. The Kolbrin Bible and the Egyptian academics explain that it was a long-period orbiting object, which during its last two flyby events caused the Great Deluge (Noah’s Flood) and the Ten Plagues of Exodus. Unlike the Torah (Old Testament) this ancient work explains these events as natural disasters — not the punishments of an angry deity.

This account in
The Kolbrin Bible is part of what remains of the Great Book as the Egyptians first called it. First penned in ancient hieratic, the Great Book was approximately 4 times the size of the King James Bible. The impetus for the work was the defeat the Egyptians suffered at the hands of Moses. Convinced their own gods had been proven to be impotent, they initiated the first regional anthropological study in the history of humankind.

Throughout the breadth of their trading sphere, their academics and scribes would do their business as usual, but in their off hours began interviewing local wise men. The aim was to record historical accounts and folklore in the hopes of uncovering any clue that might lead the Egyptians to the one true God of Abraham. The field notes of these interviews were then sent back to Egypt and incorporated into the Great Book.

One civilization that received special attention from the Egyptians was the seafaring Phoenicians. Enamored by the Great Book, the Phoenicians translated it to their own 22-leter alphabet and took a copy of the work to Britain during the late Bronze Age, which at that time was a major exporter of tin. The Celtic priests of Britain embraced the work, which was mostly destroyed during the 1184 arson of the Glastonbury Abbey. What remained was combined with other Celtic texts and translated into Old English and collectively published as The Kolbrin Bible. After WWI, the work was updated to Continental English and the first copies were released in the early 1990’s.
For interested researchers, this 3600-year old work offers vital corroboration of Dewey McLean’s KT-Deccan Traps eruption theory, plus an abundant source of prescient historical accounts of ancient global disasters. The details in these accounts are as crisp as the man-on-the-street interviews one sees in modern televised news broadcasts. Copies of the work are available online and can be purchased in book stores in the English speaking world.



How The 1989 Tiananmen Square Protests
Uncovered Ancient Texts

Why Tiananmen Square Will Be Remembered as the First Defining Moment of the Information Age

Marshall Masters, July 2006

The 1989 Tiananmen Square protesters made history when they forced the injustices of a repressive government into the global limelight. Not only did they give new freedom to an ancient culture, their courage also triggered the publication of millennia-old wisdom texts for the benefit of all humankind. One such text is called
The Kolbrin Bible.

Mention Tiananmen Square today, and it may not ring a bell at first. If so, just describe the picture of that courageous young man who stopped a column of Red Army tanks for over half an hour, and it will click. This is because this "Kodak moment" of courage is the defining image of the information age. A time when the most repressive and brutal regime in the world at that time could not seal the hemorrhage of phone calls, faxes, simple e-mail messages and message board posts to the outside world from protesters and sympathizers. Thanks to their efforts, the atrocities of a brutal communist government were subsequently exposed to the world, and it was deeply humiliated.

In a very real sense, Tiananmen Square was the electronic pen of the new Information Age and it was mightier than the repressive sword of a brutal government. Not because it was wielded by a "prestigious" world body or by a "powerful" global power, but rather, by a relatively small band of students, intellectuals and labor activists with the guts to peacefully confront their own government. Sadly, their grievances were answered with a horrible massacre and the organizers will be forever haunted by the lives lost. Yet, future historians shall lovingly remember them with enduring reverence. Why?

Like the fresh water that encourages a seedling to find the light, Tiananmen Square redefined human communication as it left its mark. In the process, it also defined a new context for the news reports we saw on our televisions each night, about the fall of the Soviet empire and about a new technological wonder called the Internet.
Today, most regard the Internet as a convenient information and communication tool. Yet how many of us truly appreciate it's "other" power? Its inherent ability to unleash vital human knowledge from the bonds of repression. This is a hidden blessing of the Information Age and the Internet.

Case in point is
The Kolbrin Bible. This ancient wisdom text was targeted by English King Henry II for destruction for destruction 1184 when he initiated a murderous arson attack on the Glastonbury Abbey. After the attack, the surviving Celtic priests recovered what remained of the texts and fled to Scotland.

Had King Henry II been successful, the result would have been a loss for humankind no less significant than the destruction of the Library of Alexandria by the Roman Empire. This is because the first parts of
The Kolbrin Bible were written by Egyptian academics even as Moses was leading the Jews through the Sinai following the Exodus. Originally penned in an old Egyptian hieratic, this massive work was later translated by the Phoenicians into their own 22-letter alphabet, which later became the root of the English alphabet.

The Phoenicians plied the seas between their home port in modern day Lebanon and the tin mines of Britain and carried a copy of the text to Britain where it was embraced by the Celts. In it, they found historical accounts and prophecy similar to their own Druid folklore. Following the death of Jesus, they were inspired to write the later parts of The Kolbrin Bible in the old Celtic language.

Ever mindful of the need to protect this ancient manuscript from an English monarchy as brutal as any Chinese communist cabal, the Celts kept the manuscripts in hiding for centuries. Eventually the texts were translated into continental English by succeeding generations of secretive caretakers, who patiently awaited the arrival of the "right" moment in time when it could be shared with the world.

That "right" moment came in 1989 thanks to the courage of the Tiananmen Square protesters. Their courage also sped the fall of the morally corrupt Soviet empire, interest in the newly-invented Internet and something else that has been long overdue. Knowledge caretakers no longer labor need to labor anonymously, under the threat of political or religious repression. Thanks in part to the courage of the Tiananmen Square protesters, these knowledge caretakers can now share their texts more easily and safely than ever before in the history of humankind.

Thus inspired, the Hope Trust of England, the last known caretakers of
The Kolbrin Bible knew the time had come to gift this ancient work to the world. In 1992 a senior member of the trust began distributing copies of The Kolbrin Bible. Today, it is available on the Internet and can be purchased in any bookstore in the Western world.

Let there be no doubt about it. Tiananmen Square was a defining watershed event for the Information Age. As such, it is gift to human knowledge that will keep on giving for generations to come. We can only hope that those brave souls who sacrificed so much in those heady days of 1989 will know all they've done for humanity, for they have done so very much.


Finally, a Historically Accurate Bible
That Honors The Ancient Phoenicians

Newly Revealed Egyptian-CelticWisdom Text
Offers New Insights to Ancient Phoenician Civilization
Marshall Masters, July 2007

The word "Bible" is generically associated with the Holy Bible in Western societies. Nonetheless, a quick search on Amazon will also turn up other applications of the word such as The Barbeque Bible, The Boomer Bible, The Organic Cooking Bible, etc. No matter what kind of itch you have, you'll likely find an authoritative Bible on Amazon that scratches it. Now there's another Bible on Amazon, and it is just as serious, just as large and just as old as the Torah and New Testament combined. It is
The Kolbrin Bible and it is first ancient wisdom text to honor the Phoenicians from whom we derived the word "Bible" because of the wonderful gift of knowledge we inherited from them.

School children know the word "Bible" comes from the Greek word "bublos," which describes papyrus (an ancient Egyptian writing material made of reeds), and which is derived from the name of Byblos, an ancient Phoenician port that once thrived on the coast of present day Lebanon. What is not commonly known is that the Greek alphabet was developed from the 22-letter Phoenician alphabet. Likewise, the Latin, English and Cyrillic alphabets were also derived from the Phoenician alphabet.
The Phoenicians based their alphabet on an ancient Egyptian hieratic script. This is why the history of
The Kolbrin Bible makes it the first Bible of any kind to honor a history that begins in the days following the Jewish Exodus from Egypt.

The Torah (Old Testament) version of the Ten Plagues of Egypt is the history of a nation and it describes a righteous victory of Moses over Pharaoh. In simple terms, it is the story of Exodus as told by the victor. Conversely, the first six books of
The Kolbrin Bible, which are collectively referred to as the Egyptian texts, contain the story of Exodus as told by the defeated some 3600 years ago. While there are many similarities between the stories of the Torah and the Egyptian Texts, it is the latter that offers a truly unvarnished account of a nation shaken to its core.

According to the Egyptian Texts, Pharaoh and his army caught the Jews in the midst of their Red Sea crossing and slaughtered better than half of them before the waters swept them away as well. Weakened by plagues that devastated the whole world, the misery of Egypt was only half-fulfilled.

Militarily decimated, Egypt's treasuries and granaries became the prized targets of the starved hoards who invaded from the South. Much blood was shed to repel them. Yet, there was an even worse fate in store. The Egyptians were shaken to their national core by an experience many times worse than 9-11. This is because 9-11 never made America lose it's faith in God, whereas Exodus left the Egyptians with impotent and unworthy gods.

As the Jews wandered the Sinai writing their Torah, a studious new Pharaoh and his humbled Egyptian intelligentsia reasoned that Jews were onto something, so they resolved themselves to find the one true God of Abraham. What ensued was perhaps one of the most remarkable wisdom-gathering events of the ancient world as the Egyptian intelligentsia fanned out to the farthest reaches of the kingdom's trading sphere to conduct a first ever regional anthropological study.

During the day, scribes and academics conducted business as usual, and then during off hours, they interviewed the wisest of many lands. Their field notes accompanied usual shipments back to Egypt and were then compiled into a secular work titled the Great Book. Penned in an ancient hieratic script, the Great Book was over four times the size of The King James Bible, and one part titled the Sons of Fire contains a significant amount of ancient Phoenician folklore; an ancient maritime nation well worth remembering.

The Phoenicians were the first mariners to navigate their ships by Polaris, the North Star, and to circumnavigate the African continent. Their primary trade routes stretched through the Mediterranean; up along the Western shores of Europe; and North to Britain. During the late Bronze Age, Britain was a major exporter of tin, which when smelted with copper, makes bronze. Savvy traders, the Phoenicians plied the waters between the Middle East and Britain carrying lucrative cargoes of Egyptian papyrus and British tin.

Deeply enamored of the Egyptian Great Book, the Phoenicians translated several copies of it into their own 22-letter alphabet, from which our own English alphabet is derived. One copy made it to Britain, where it was warmly received by the Celtic priests there because many of its stories reminded them of their own Druid folklore.
Sadly, the Phoenician civilization was later smashed by the Roman Empire, and little is left their history, and a similar fate almost befell the Great Book. Much of the original Phoenician translations were destroyed during the 1184 arson fire at the Glastonbury Abbey, and what remained was combined with a collection of ancient Celtic texts called the Coelbook. The texts were later translated into English and collectively published as The Kolbrin.

Your Own World Books, the new publisher of this work chose to re-title it as
The Kolbrin Bible: 21st Century Master Edition to honor the Phoenicians and their home port of Byblos. Without them, the wonderful historical accounts of this 3600-year old work would have been forever lost in time.
