In our technologically advanced modern age, it\u2019s easy to forget the enormous debt we owe the ancient world. The concept of democracy was developed by the Ancient Greeks, everything we know about space began with the Babylonians, and the roots of the binary system that drives today\u2019s computers can be found in Ancient
Egypt. The legacies left behind by the civilizations which developed around the Mediterranean, as long as 5000 years ago, have become the foundations of much of what we take for granted today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skinwalker Ranch is now widely considered to be ground zero for UAP (or UFO) activity and high strangeness. Since 2020, Dr. Travis Taylor along with Erik Bard, and their investigative team, have been working around the clock to collect, analyse and decode as much data as possible associated with the phenomenon occurring at the site. Their experiments have yielded amazing results, but not enough to fully unlock the secret of the ranch. So, for the first time ever they\u2019ve decided to expand their search for answers. In an eff ort to gain a broader perspective and build larger data sets, the Skinwalker
team is adding two team members and taking the offensive by pursuing evidence of similar phenomena found at analogous sites around the US. No longer content to sit, waiting to be targeted\u2026it\u2019s ti me to go Beyond Skinwalker Ranch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This two-part special examines the three different \u2013 and sometimes contradictory \u2013 biblical accounts of Moses on the Mount, and then looks at each of the 10 Commandments in historical context. \u201cPart 1: The Laws of God\u201d looks at adultery, perjury, murder, theft , graven images, Sabbath laws and coveting. What did they men then? Do they mean anything today? Also examined are the other 603 commandments prescribed by Moses that took a backseat to the more famous first 10. What was in these commandments and why have they been largely forgotten? \u201cPart 2: The Laws of Man\u201d investigates that both Exodus and Deuteronomy tell us that Moses brought down these commandments in the form of two tablets. The first commandments deal with God and the second set of commandments, sometimes called the \u2018Laws of Man\u2019, provided society with the means of living with one another. We take a close look at these last commandments and see how they\u2019ve translated into our modern legal system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the Romans chose this as their method to execute Jesus Christ, most people wrongly associate crucifixion as a strictly sacred or religious symbol. In fact, crucifixions didn\u2019t start with the Romans. About 500 years earlier, the first documented account of crucifixion occurred when the Persian King Darius crucified 3,000 political opponents in Babylon. This two-hour special examines how crucifixion has travelled across history, empires, cultures\u2026and is even still in use today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
