![]() Jewish secret knowledge and Christian secret knowledge are the same in one key respect – they are both false. Truth be told, such claims are just a New Testament variation on the Jewish Halakah, supposedly derived from the oral traditions handed down by Moses apart from the scriptures. Jesus did not impart additional secret knowledge or wisdom to the disciples which was not recorded in scripture, but was transmitted through secret orders and societies – that is just a lie. 13:11, “To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.” Jesus only meant that He gave the apostles the interpretations of His parables (which we have preserved in the scriptures), but were not told to the public at the time. All godly knowledge and wisdom is freely available to anyone. You see, there is no secret knowledge or wisdom that is from God. Some groups claim to have secret knowledge handed down by Jesus Himself, but this is a false claim. You could drive yourself nuts trying to discover the names and true purposes of these many secret societies. There are also several groups connected with, or claiming to be, The Illuminati, including the Bavarian Illuminati, the Ordo Templi Orientis, and others. Other secret societies are only for the ultra-rich and influential, such as the Bilderberg Group, or Bilderbergers. Some are located on college campuses, such as the Skull and Bones, a/k/a The Brotherhood of Death, at Yale University. The world is filled with secret societies, at every level of social status. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. We have published further research into the effects of fluvial erosion in The Upper Walbrook valley cemetery of Roman London, which is available to buy at /publications.Be sober-minded be watchful. Using a flume filled with gravel, mirroring the conditions of the Walbrook River, researchers Charlie Thompson and Samuel Griffith simulated what effects the impact of the gravel had on animal remains, chipping away at the bone to create a pocked-marked surface. Our osteologists also recorded a lack of jaw bones, which indicates that the skulls came to rest when they were already disarticulated from the rest of the body. Placing a replica skull and long bone in a long flume that replicates the flow of the Walbrook River, it confirmed that the shape and buoyancy of the skulls meant that they bobbed or rolled over long distances, whereas long bones, such as leg bones, sunk with little movement.Īnalysing the skulls, our osteologists have identified a number of characteristics that corroborate this model, these include: shiny polished skulls where they sat in running water, pitted skulls where the gravels of the water bed chipped at the bone, and discolouration, staining and tide marks where the remains were waterlogged. Working with researchers from Ocean and Earth Science at the University of Southampton, we have been able to test how this fluvial (river) erosion carried the human remains downstream. Whilst studying the cemeteries set up by the Romans outside the city walls, our archaeologists found burials close to the banks of the streams that were partially washed away by overflowing water. Today, the Walbrook River runs entirely underground and leads into the Thames by Cannon Street. The Romans tried to manage the water and our archaeological excavation revealed a number of attempts to reclaim land. The Walbrook Valley was a watery landscape in the Roman period and the river had a network of streams that flooded seasonally. The systematic excavation of a series of sites in the Walbrook valley, including most recently our excavations at Liverpool Street for Crossrail, has given our archaeologists an opportunity to methodically study these remains in the context of the Roman landscape. The theories as to their origin are many and various and include: decapitated victims of Boudica’s sacking of London, trophy heads collected by Roman soldiers and a continuation of the Iron Age ‘cult of the head’. Their presence has been known since the 1200s and numerous findings of disarticulated Roman skulls were recorded in the 19th century, including those found in a sewer in 1839 on Blomfield Street. ![]() The Walbrook skulls debate has roared for centuries.
