ARCHAEOLOGY: Glimpse into Pre-Flood animal kingdom

All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died. Genesis 7:22

"For more than 15 years, an international group of paleontologists has been uncovering and analyzing fossils in Africa to better understand the Permian, a geologic period that....ended with the most catastrophic mass extinction in Earth’s history.

“This mass extinction was nothing short of a cataclysm for life on Earth,...,” said Christian Sidor, a UW professor of biology and

curator of vertebrate paleontology at the UW Burke Museum of Natural History & Culture.

The series highlights recent findings about the wide variety of animals that once inhabited Permian Africa, including saber-toothed predators, burrowing herbivores, and a large amphibian resembling a salamander.

All these finds were excavated in three basins across southern Africa: the Ruhuhu Basin in southern Tanzania, the Luangwa Basin in eastern Zambia, and the Mid-Zambezi Basin in southern Zambia.

For decades, scientists’ best understanding of the Permian, the Great Dying and the start of the Mesozoic came from the Karoo Basin in South Africa, which contains a near-complete fossil record of periods before and after the mass extinction.

"The number of specimens we’ve found in Zambia and Tanzania is so high and their condition is so exquisite that we can make species-level comparisons to what paleontologists have found in South Africa,” said Sidor."

On the Streets of Babylon: Burial & Attempted Self Resurrection on Streets

Babylon is fallen, is fallen,..

Come out of her, my people,
Revelation 14:8/18:4

There seems to have been a spotting of  "Attempted Self Resurrection After Burial" spotted on the Streets of Babylon...

"A pastor in Africa has died after he, in an effort to prove he was a messenger from God, buried himself for three days while pledging he would rise again.
James Sakara, a 22-year-old Pastor from Zion Church in Chadiza,

Zambia, desired to demonstrate to his congregation that he had the anointing from the Lord and could perform the miraculous by insisting on being buried alive in an underground tomb for three days. Though they were skeptical, he was able to convince three members with his scheme, binding his hands and buying him under three feet of dirt.

Because his theological knowledge was clearly lacking, before he attempted his resurrection, he quoted Jesus’s instructions at the last supper “do this in remembrance of me’ and insisted it referred to being buried and resurrected, and not about taking communion.

After being dug up three days later and finding a dead corpse, congregation members attempted to conduct a series of rituals to “complete” the resurrection, but their results were in vain." Protestia

Wherefore be ye not unwise,... Ephesians 5:17

"Hakainde Sammy Hichilema, commonly known as HH, a Seventh-day Adventist church member, has been declared by Justice Esau Chulu, chairperson for the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ), as the duly elected seventh president-elect of the Republic of

Zambia. Chulu declared him the winner of the August 12, 2021, general election after he received 2,810,757 votes, outpacing the incumbent president, Edgar Chagwa Lungu, who received 1,814,201 votes. A total of 4,858,193 votes were cast in the national election.

According to Reuters news organization, Hichilema, 59, was born in southern Zambia in a low-income family. He attended the University of Zambia on a government scholarship and later studied business and finance at the University of Birmingham in the United Kingdom. He is now a well-known businessman whose portfolio includes property management, cattle ranching, and financial consultancy.

Adventist members and leaders around the world congratulated Hichilema on his new position. “This is monumental and historical,” Adventist Church associate youth director Pako Mokgwane wrote. “Continue to live by the ideals of your Master Guide pin.”

During his campaigns, Hichilema promised to promote religious liberties for all faiths in the nation, adding that he wouldn’t coerce anyone into joining his church, as alleged by his political opponents. 

Hichilema was elected on his sixth attempt at the country’s top job." AR
