Malcolm: I seem to remember posting along these lines in MSN, but so long ago, it will be new to our latest members and visitors.
From "Solomon, Falcon of Sheba" by Ralph Ellis, beginning on page 126:
"While it would appear that the mother of Jesus was following in these ancient Egyptian traditions, there is another section of the New Testament evidence that again points towards Egypt....
....Mary Magdalene has been given some bad press in the Bible, and this was probably due to a strong priestly desire to distance her from Jesus - it was too embarassing to admit that she was Jesus' wife, let alone contemplate the possibility that she was his sister too. But some of this bad press may actually have been derived from a subtle and deliberate mistranslation of a particular verse in the gospel of Luke:
And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils. Luke 8:2
But this is not the only possible translation of this vers; it could also be taken to read:
And a certain woman who had worshipped blinding (strong) winds, Mary, named (after the) Seven Tower out of which went god (winds).
The word for 'healed' (theraputae) can mean 'worshipped' and the term for 'evil spirits' (ponerous pneuma) could easily become 'blinding winds'. The reason for Mary, in her guise as a much later 'Queen of Sheba', being associated with whirlwinds (the jinn of the Koran) will be given later. The term for 'devils' (daemons) can be a reference to 'god' or even the jinn whirlwinds once more - in fact, the latter are still called dust-devils to this day.
More important, however, is the fact that Mary Magdalene can be seen as being associated with both a tower and the number seven. The name Magdalene can be literally translated from the Greek as meaning 'tower' and, as we have already seen, this association between the terms 'tower' and 'seven' is present in a famous Biblical quotation:
Behold, therefore I am against thee, and against they rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from the Tower of Seven even unto the border of Ethiopia. Ezekiel 29:10
Just to review the explanations from chapter III, both of these words have been directly transliterated out of the original Egyptian: the Magdalene 'tower' has been taken from the Egyptian word maktal or magdjal (glyphs) meaning 'tower', while the number seven has been derived from the Egyptian word sefekh (glyphs) meaning 'seven'.
So, Ezekiel's 'Tower of Seven' is none other than the Egyptian 'Magdal of Sefekh', the same title that is now being associated with Mary Magdalene. The Tower of Sefekh was historically seen to be a prime symbol of Egypt and because of this notoriety it has already been identified with the Great Pyramid (the Great Tower) of Egypt. The number seven is also translatable as Sheba, as this is one of the prime Hebrew meanings for this word.
Malcolm: To understand where 'Seven' comes from, we need to go back to page 57 of Ellis's book:
"If the great entrance door to the Great Pyramid was unbolted and opened on the seventh day, and if the door itself was considered to be the 'Great Door of Heaven' - the divine portal that led into the nether world of the Djuat, the land of the gods and the dead - then it is axiomatic that sefekh, the Egyptian term for unbolting a door and the number seven, would have become intimately associated with the Egyptian word seba, meaning the Great Door of Heaven. The Seba (glyphs) would have been s-sefekh (glyphs) (unbolted) on the Sefekh (glyphs) (seventh or Shabbeth) day. This is indeed what is found, and in the translation from the Egyptian into Hebrew, the word for the number 'seven' became associated more with seba than with sefekh - hence the word for 'seven' in Hebrew is seba, not sefekh.
But the original use of the word sefekh (glyphs) , as a term for unbolting the Great Door, was not entirely lost even within the Hebrew language; and I can confidently assert this because the association of this word with the Great Pyramid was retained in the Biblical book of Ezekiel:
Behold, therefore I am against thee, and against they rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from the tower of Syene even unto the border with Ethiopia. Ezekiel 29:10.
By the era of Ezekiel, the Israelites had been away from Egypt for hundreds of years, and their former homeland had now become the scapegoat for each and every misfortune that the Israelites encountered. This verse is one of many oaths against the newly despised land of Egypt.
It may not be immediately apparent what the quote is trying to say, because some daft translator has interpreted the 'tower' as being called Syene. The Gideon Bible has taken this obfuscation one step further by saying that the land was laid waste 'from Migdol to Aswan'! What a tangled web we weave....
The truth of the matter is that the Gideon Bible's city of 'Migdol' was not a town but a 'tower', just as the King James Bible correctly translates - migdol (Hebrew letters) means tower in Hebrew. The problem with the King James' version of this verse is that the word Syene is very badly transliterated into the English. The usual Hebrew pronunciation for this word is actually 'Seven' (Hebrew letters) or 'Sheven' (Hebrew letters). (Note the mixing of the 's' and 'sh' consonants once more.)
The tower in question is, of course, not really the 'Tower of Seven'; it is more correctly translated as the 'Tower of Sefekh' - but the verse is using he Hebrew version of this word, which is 'Seven'. As I mentioned previously, the Hebrew letter 'kh' (Hebrew letter) has simply become confused with and exchanged for the similar-lookiing letter 'n' (Hebrew letter).
This, however, does not fully explain this verse n the book of Ezekiel. We have still not deciphered which 'tower' in Egypt would have been closely associated with the word sefekh, meaning to unbolt a door, and which 'tower' would also be closely identified with the number seven. The answer is not only obvious, but also inescapable - the 'tower' to which Ezekiel was referring was a 'tower' that apparently defined the whold character of the land of Egypt.
It was a shibboleth, or symbol, that every enlightened reader was immediately supposed to understand to be a reference to Egypt, and so it is axiomatic that this 'tower' was none other than the Great Pyramid of Giza itself. In reality, Ezekiel was trying to say:
Behold, therefore I am against Egypt, and against Egypt's rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate from the Great Pyramid even unto the border of Ethiopia.
If the term sefekh referred to the Great Pyramid and if, in turn, the term seba was related to the doorway of the Great Pyramid - which is still the largest building on the planet - then the terms sefekh and Seba would have been as Egyptian as apple pie is American. In this case, the name Seba (Sheba) would have been a positive reference to the land of Lower Egypt and likewise, the Queen of Sheba is likely to have been a queen or princess of Egypt."
Malcolm: She was. She was Queen ETIYE - named in the Kebra Nagast as Eteye Azeb - who was the favourite wife and queen of King Solomon/YmnHtp III.
Ezequiel 29:1 En el año décimo, en el mes décimo, a los doce días del mes, vino a mí palabra de Jehová, diciendo: 29:2 Hijo de hombre, pon tu rostro contra Faraón rey de Egipto, y profetiza contra él y contra todo Egipto. 29:3 Habla, y di: Así ha dicho Jehová el Señor: He aquí yo estoy contra ti, Faraón rey de Egipto, el gran dragón que yace en medio de sus ríos, el cual dijo: Mío es el Nilo, pues yo lo hice. 29:4 Yo, pues, pondré garfios en tus quijadas, y pegaré los peces de tus ríos a tus escamas, y te sacaré de en medio de tus ríos, y todos los peces de tus ríos saldrán pegados a tus escamas. 29:5 Y te dejaré en el desierto a ti y a todos los peces de tus ríos; sobre la faz del campo caerás; no serás recogido, ni serás juntado; a las fieras de la tierra y a las aves del cielo te he dado por comida. 29:6 Y sabrán todos los moradores de Egipto que yo soy Jehová, por cuanto fueron báculo de caña a la casa de Israel. 29:7 Cuando te tomaron con la mano, te quebraste, y les rompiste todo el hombro; y cuando se apoyaron en ti, te quebraste, y les rompiste sus lomos enteramente. 29:8 Por tanto, así ha dicho Jehová el Señor: He aquí que yo traigo contra ti espada, y cortaré de ti hombres y bestias. 29:9 Y la tierra de Egipto será asolada y desierta, y sabrán que yo soy Jehová; por cuanto dijo: El Nilo es mío, y yo lo hice. 29:10 Por tanto, he aquí yo estoy contra ti, y contra tus ríos; y pondré la tierra de Egipto en desolación, en la soledad del desierto, desde Migdol hasta Sevene, hasta el límite de Etiopía. 29:11 No pasará por ella pie de hombre, ni pie de animal pasará por ella, ni será habitada, por cuarenta años. 29:12 Y pondré a la tierra de Egipto en soledad entre las tierras asoladas, y sus ciudades entre las ciudades destruidas estarán desoladas por cuarenta años; y esparciré a Egipto entre las naciones, y lo dispersaré por las tierras. 29:13 Porque así ha dicho Jehová el Señor: Al fin de cuarenta años recogeré a Egipto de entre los pueblos entre los cuales fueren esparcidos; 29:14 y volveré a traer los cautivos de Egipto, y los llevaré a la tierra de Patros, a la tierra de su origen; y allí serán un reino despreciable. 29:15 En comparación con los otros reinos será humilde; nunca más se alzará sobre las naciones; porque yo los disminuiré, para que no vuelvan a tener dominio sobre las naciones. 29:16 Y no será ya más para la casa de Israel apoyo de confianza, que les haga recordar el pecado de mirar en pos de ellos; y sabrán que yo soy Jehová el Señor. 29:17 Aconteció en el año veintisiete en el mes primero, el día primero del mes, que vino a mí palabra de Jehová, diciendo: 29:18 Hijo de hombre, Nabucodonosor rey de Babilonia hizo a su ejército prestar un arduo servicio contra Tiro. Toda cabeza ha quedado calva, y toda espalda desollada; y ni para él ni para su ejército hubo paga de Tiro, por el servicio que prestó contra ella. 29:19 Por tanto, así ha dicho Jehová el Señor; He aquí que yo doy a Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, la tierra de Egipto; y él tomará sus riquezas, y recogerá sus despojos, y arrebatará botín, y habrá paga para su ejército. 29:20 Por su trabajo con que sirvió contra ella le he dado la tierra de Egipto; porque trabajaron para mí, dice Jehová el Señor. 29:21 En aquel tiempo haré retoñar el poder de la casa de Israel. Y abriré tu boca en medio de ellos, y sabrán que yo soy Jehová.

Malcolm: There is more to the story and it is of great significance. So to continue from Ellis, page 58:
"Although the threads of this story may have been difficult to follow at times, there are a couple of further twists to this chapter that are quite important.
The meaning of the word sheba may have referred to this queen in a more specific manner than the meaning of 'door' and 'star' that have just been given. As mentioned earlier, the term 'sheba' may have been related to the role that this princess played in the rituals performed on the Sabbath days of the Egyptian religion. Her biblical title was the Queen of Sheba (Malkah Sheba ...[Hebrew letters]), but she could equally have been called the Daughter of Sheba (Bath-Sheba ...[Hebrew letters]). The point being made here is that the Hebrew term for daughter is bath [Hebrew letters]; while in a very similar mannere, the holy seventh day of Egypt - the day when the door of the Great Pyramid was opened - was called the Shab-bath [Hebrew letters]. (Note the double 'b' emphasis that is always given to the word Shabbath, indicating the possible conjunction of the two words shab and bath.)
In other words, the title that has been given to this lady is the exact mirror image of the holy day that she most probably officiated at. She was the Bath-Sheba [Hebrew letters], while the holy day itself was known as the Shab-Bath [Hebrew letters]. The link between the rituals of the Sabbath day and the priestess who officiated at those rituals could not have been made any plainer for us - the Queen of Sheba was the Queen of the Sabbath day.
The final point to be made here is the close relationship between this queen and the pyramids. We can see that these Sabbath rituals were intimately associated with the Giza plateau and with the Great Pyramid itself, in which case the Queen of Sheba could easily have been regarded as the Queen of the Pyramid. But since the Bible maintains that the Hyksos-Israelite god actually lived inside the Great Pyramid (Mt. Sinai), this same lady could also have been considereed to be the Queen of God or the Wife of God.
This latter term is important, for within the twenty-first dynasty of Egypt there arose a very exalted position within the ranking of the royal family, and this was the position of God's Wife. This was a position that was normally assigned to a daughter of a Pharaoh and it is often assumed that she had to remain a virgin during her tenure, althoug she was probably allowed to resign at a later date and allow another princess to assume this position as we shall see in later chapters.
The point about the position of God's Wife is that it was an extremely important position; so much so that the incumbent often inscribed her name within a royal cartouche, a prerogative that was normally reserved only for the king himself. In every respect, therefore, although the God's Wife is not currently thought to have been the wife of the pharaoh, this individual would still have been considered to have been a queen. The God's Wife was not necessarily the wife to the pharaoh, she was instead the consort of the god who lived behind the Great Door, the sheba portal. In short, God's Wife was the Queen of Sheba."
Malcolm: The way I see it then is that Mary Magdalene was the equivalent of this priestess, God's Wife. She had to be written into the gospels, and yet she could not be called the wife of Jesus. This must have been a very difficult problem for the scribes and so Mary is there but played down as a loose woman.

So overlooking the 7 World Trade Center towers is the Statue of Liberty, Isis/Mary the Tower of Seven, wearing a 7pointed crown. Just as in the sky Sirius (Isis) stands beside the 3 stars of Orion’s (Osirus’) Belt, on the ground Isis (the Statue of Liberty) stands beside 3 collapsing towers. The three buildings that collapsed, buildings 1, 2 and 7, perfectly replicate in size and distance both the 3 pyramids at Giza and the 3 stars in Orion’s Belt. WTC buildings 1 and 2 were very tall with a shorter building 7 off to the side. Similarly, there are 2 large pyramids at Giza and a smaller pyramid off to the side. Not to mention, before being destroyed on 9/11 there actually stood a huge model of the 3 Giza pyramids at the base of the World Trade Center. The Giza pyramids themselves were modeled after Orion’s Belt which consists of 2 bright stars and another slightly less bright one off to the side. The ancient Egyptians associated Orion’s Belt with the God Osirus, the husband of Isis/Sirius. Their son is our sun, Horus, the Egyptian Jesus. "For instance, this is why the tracing board portrays the three pillars as all being of different heights, with two larger pillars in the foreground and a much smaller one behind.
Quote:
This is not simply a matter of perspective, as the two foreground pillars are placed at exactly the same depth within the picture, but are given slightly different heights; while a much smaller pillar lies behind. Yet this depiction exactly reflects the reality at Giza, where two major pyramids are nearly but not quite of the same height, while the third is much smaller.”

Sirius, the dogstar, is so called because it lies in the constellation Canis Major. Canine, Latin for dog, was shortened by the Masons/Hollywood to K9 in Doctor Who and Rin Tin Tin K9 Cop. NASA even has a Mars rover called K9. Since K is the 11th letter of the alphabet, K9 is numerically 119 or 911. Before 1679 the constellation Columba (the Dove) occupied the same space as (was one with) Canis Major/Sirius. Since then the two constellations have drifted apart, but symbolically the Illuminati still associate the Dove with Sirius/Isis/Mary. The Columbine “blazing star” flower, Colombe meaning Dove, is a 5 petaled flower. In ancient Egypt the hieroglyph for Sirius included a 5 pointed star. In the U.S. District of “Columbia” the Masons built numerous 5 pointed star pentagrams into the roads/architecture. Is it not coincidental how the 5 sided Pentagon building would be attacked on 9/11, the same day it began construction 60 years prior? And is it not interesting how the numbers 911 and 5 relate back to Sirius the K9, and Sirius the Columbine 5pointed blazing star? Moving over to Hollywood’s many Masonic productions, we find the 9/11 attacks alluded to in several films long before 2001! In 20th Century Fox’s 1988 film Die Hard the first lines are spoken on a plane about how to get over the fear of flying. One guy says what he has done for 9 years and Bruce Willis says what he has been doing for 11 years. So here we have 911, on a plane, talking about fears of flying, from a Masonic production company. In the first Die Hard, John McClane (Bruce Willis) takes on 12 terrorists in a tower; in the second movie it’s terrorists at an airport. Isn’t it interesting how in the 1988 movie we have John McClane afraid of flying, terrorists, towers, 9/11, and now in 2008 movie Live Free Die Hard we have John McCain on a presidential fear campaign revolving around terrorists, towers, and 9/11?

In 1998 we also have Bruce Willis saving the world in Masonic Disney/Touchstone’s Armageddon. Toward the end of the movie there is a countdown which passes 9:11 minutes just as the camera pans past. In another 1998 Disney/Touchstone film, Enemy of the State, a politician played by Jon Voight has his birthday on September 11th. At first glance these synchronicities may seem like mere coincidence until you realize their Masonic significance, and Hollywood’s Masonic dominance. In Warner Bros. 1990 film Gremlins 2 there are two reporters from channels 9 and 11 holding microphones with those numbers juxtaposed. In the 1990 Universal film Problem Child the Healy’s live at house number 911. The actor in this movie, John Ritter, in real life had a baby girl, Stella Ritter born on 9/11/98, then 5 years later suddenly and suspiciously John died on 9/11/03 In the 1993 Super Mario Brothers movie the Two Towers are depicted eerily half destroyed and smoking just as they would be on 9/11/01. In the movie, the Twin Towers each have on them a large symbol of a hand holding two lightning bolts. This is the very aspect of Tarot imagery from “The Tower” card substituted by “hijacked” planes on 9/11. In 33rd Degree Mason James Cameron and Columbia TriStar’s 1991 Terminator II, Judgment Day, there is an overpass that warns “Caution 911.” Later in James Cameron’s 1996 film Independence Day, there is also a countdown which just happens to pass 09:11:01 as the camera pans across. At the start of another Columbia TriStar Picture, 2000’s The 6th Day, Arnold Schwarzenegger looks at his schedule which has only two times: 9:00 and 11:00. The same year in Columbia’s The Patriot, Mel Gibson’s first words, weighing a chair, in the film, are: "9 pounds, 11 ounces, perfect." Here we have 911, the “patriotic” concept of the post911 “Patriot Act,” a Masonic production company, a Masonic measuring device and symbol of the mystery schools, ounces or OZ (77) revenge of Lamech, and the closing word, “perfect.” In 1997 DreamWorks’ first film, The Peacemaker, George Clooney is shot perfectly between aisle 9 and 11. In a 1997 episode of the Simpsons, Lisa holds up a magazine that reads “New York $9” with a picture of the Twin Towers after the 9 which looks like 911. In 1998’s Godzilla the camera cuts to a wristwatch showing 8:55 with the little hand on the 9 and the big hand on the 11. In 1999’s The Thirteenth Floor a wall clock shows 11:45 with the big hand on the 9 and the little hand on the 11. In Universal/Columbia’s 1999 The Bone Collector, Denzel Washington finds a piece of paper from page 119, and the date is 11/9, November 9th . In 2000’s Traffic, a large delivery truck is shown full of boxes, and on every single box are a Scorpio/scorpion symbol and the number 911. In 1998 the U.S. Department of Justice FEMA Emergency Response to Terrorism Guide had a cover picture showing the World Trade Center in crosshairs. Another symbolic representation of the 9/11 events was encoded into the year 2000 $20 bill which when folded a certain way resembles the smoking/damaged Twin Towers and the Pentagon. Rap group “The Coup” album “Party Music” which came out just after 9/11, originally in June 2001, had an album cover featuring the artists affront both WTC towers which have huge explosions/smoke clouds from the upper floors. Granted some of this pre 9/11 symbolism could be sheer coincidence and over analysis, but can you honestly explain away all these synchronicities so simply?

Very interesting. Thanks for that. Here's some other symbology relating to 9/11:
The Hebrew Kabbalistic Tree of Life (studied in-depth by Masons) displays the Roman numerals IX-XI (9-11) when the tree has “fallen” or is shown on its side. And in the Tarot (also studied by Masons) there is much significance as well. The Major Arcana card “The Tower” shows a tall tower being struck by lightning, fire coming out the windows, and people falling to their deaths – all of which happened on 9/11, if the lightning is symbolically substituted by an airplane. In “The High Priestess” tarot card, Isis (the Statue of Liberty) is seen between the black and white Masonic pillars of Mercy and Severity, Boaz and Jachin (the Two Towers). The 13th “Death” tarot card also shows two towers with the sun between them.
In Freemasonry the two/three pillars are very important and well-known to every Mason. One of the largest Masonic websites is called “The Three Pillars.” They are depicted on the 1st degree tracing board and they are the 3 columns of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life. The pillars of Solomon’s temple - Sol-Om-On three words all meaning “Sun” -relate to this as well (note: WTC 7 was the Salomon Brothers Building). The right pillar of Mercy is Male and the left pillar of Severity is Female. Between them is the third androgenous pillar of enlightenment and illumination. This is symbolically depicted in the Tarot Death card where the sun is rising between two towers/pillars. In Da Vinci’s Last Supper, the back wall with two windows can be viewed as three towers/pillars. On the right is a man pointing representing the phallic/masculine, on the left is a very effeminate John representing the feminine, and the sun/son Jesus is in the middle. In the movie Spider-Man there was a deleted-scene with the sun rising between the Twin Towers symbolizing this as well.
More important, however, is the fact that Mary Magdalene can be seen as being associated with both a tower and the number seven. The name Magdalene can be literally translated from the Greek as meaning 'tower' and, as we have seen , this association between the terms 'tower' and 'seven' is present in the famous Biblical quotation: Behold, therefore I am against thee, and against thy rivers, and will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from the Tower of Seven even unto the border of Ethiopia.

In 1998’s Godzilla the camera cuts to a wrist-watch showing 8:55 with the little hand on the 9 and the big hand on the 11. In 1999’s The Thirteenth Floor a wall clock shows 11:45 with the big hand on the 9 and the little hand on the 11. In Universal/Columbia’s 1999 The Bone Collector, Denzel Washington finds a piece of paper from page 119, and the date is 11/9, November 9th. In 2000’s Traffic, a large delivery truck is shown full of boxes, and on every single box is a scorpio/scorpion symbol and the number 911.
In 1998 the U.S. Department of Justice FEMA Emergency Response to Terrorism Guide had a cover picture showing the World Trade Center in crosshairs. Another symbolic representation of the 9/11 events was encoded into the year 2000 $20 bill which when folded a certain way resembles the smoking/damaged Twin Towers and the Pentagon. Rap group “The Coup” album “Party Music” which came out just after 9/11, originally in June 2001, had an album cover featuring the artists affront both WTC towers which have huge explosions/smoke clouds from the upper floors. Granted some of this pre 9/11 symbolism could be sheer coincidence and overanalyzation, but can you honestly explain away all these synchronicities so simply?

World Trade Center 7
De Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre
El World Trade Center 7 es un edificio de Nueva York situado cerca del sitio donde se ubicaba el complejo del World Trade Center, en el Bajo Manhattan. El nombre, World Trade Center 7, se refiere a dos edificios: el original, construido en 1984 y destruido en los atentados del 11 de septiembre de 2001, y el edificio actual, inaugurado en el año 2006. Ambos edificios fueron construidos por el promotor inmobiliario Larry Silverstein, arrendador del solar propiedad de la Autoridad Portuaria de Nueva York y de Nueva Jersey («Port Authority of New York and New Jersey»).
El World Trade Center 7 (en adelante WTC 7[1] ) original, de planta trapezoidal, tenía una altura de 47 pisos y contaba con una fachada de granito roja. Un paso elevado de peatones conectaba el edificio con la plaza del World Trade Center. El edificio se construyó sobre una subestación de energía de Consolidated Edison (Con Ed), lo que impuso restricciones inusuales en su diseño estructural. Cuando el edificio se inauguró en 1987, Silverstein tuvo dificultades para atraer arrendatarios. En 1998, Salomon Brothers firmó un alquiler a largo plazo, convirtiéndose en el principal arrendatario del edificio. El 11 de septiembre de 2001, el edificio fue dañado por los escombros caídos cuando las Torres Gemelas se derrumbaron y su integridad estructural también fue comprometida por los incendios en su interior que ardieron esa tarde. El WTC 7 original se desplomó a las 5:20 p.m. del 11 de septiembre debido al efecto combinado de ambas causas.
La construcción del nuevo WTC 7 comenzó en el año 2002 y finalizó en el 2006. Tiene 52 plantas de altura y sigue situado sobre la estación de energía antes mencionada. Ocupa una superficie menor que el edificio original, para permitir que la calle Greenwich (Greenwich Street) sea restaurada, desde TriBeCa («Triangle Below Canal Street») hasta Battery Park, atravesando la zona del World Trade Center. El nuevo edificio está limitado por las calles Greenwich (Greenwich Street), Vesey (Vesey Street), Washington (Washington Street) y Barclay (Barclay street). Un pequeño parque situado al otro lado de la calle Greenwich, ocupa parte del área de construcción del edificio original. El diseño actual del WTC 7 puso énfasis en la seguridad, con un núcleo de hormigón armado, escaleras más anchas y unos soportes de acero con una resistencia al fuego mejorada.

El misterio de la Torre 7
No la tumbo ningun avion, pero colapso el 11-S. ¿Por que?
El ultimo misterio de los atentados del 11-S en Estados Unidos pronto sera resuelto, segun expertos que investigan el colapso de la tercera torre en el World Trade Center de Nueva York.
A diferencia de las torres gemelas, la tercera torre no fue alcanzada por un avion.
La torre, de 47 pisos, conocida como la Torre Siete, tenia una estructura trapezoidal, y se derrumbo siete horas despues de las torres gemelas.
Se cree que los investigadores diran que una serie de incendios en los diferentes pisos causo su colapso.
Los teoricos de una supuesta conspiracion argumentan que la Torre Siete fue reducida en una demolicion controlada.
A diferencia de las torres gemelas, esta torre no fue alcanzada por un avion.
Se espera que el Instituto Nacional de los Estandares y la Tecnologia (NIST, por sus siglas en ingles) con sede en Washington DC, concluya en su largamente esperado informe de este mes, que el colapso de la construccion fue provocado por varios incendios ordinarios.
De ser asi, se trataria del primer y unico rascacielos de acero en el mundo que colapsa a causa de un incendio.
El jefe de investigaciones del Instituto, Shyam Sunder, hablo a la BBC sobre "Los archivos de Conspiracion".
"Nuestra hipotesis de trabajo sugiere que lo que pudo haber provocado el colapso final de los edificios fueron incendios normales que fueron creciendo y extendiendose a lo largo de los multiples pisos".
"El arma humeante"
Sin embargo, la organizacion "Arquitectos e Ingenieros para la Verdad del 11-S", dice que la explicacion oficial de que los incendios causaron el colapso, es imposible, y sostiene que lo que debio ocurrir fue un a demolicion controlada.
Casi siete anos despues de los ataques del 11-S, se sabra por que se desplomo la tercera torre.
El fundador del grupo, Richard Gage, dice que el colapso de la tercera torre es un ejemplo evidente de una demolicion controlada con explosivos.
"La Torre Siete es el arma humeante del 11-S. Un estudiante de bachillerato puede mirar este edificio desplomandose, practicamente en caida libre, de manera simetrica y sin problemas, y ver que no se trata de un proceso natural.
"Los edificios que caen en procesos naturales, caen por la via de la menor resistencia", dice Gage, "no caen directo hacia abajo a traves de ellos mismos".
Teorias conspirativas
Hay una serie de hechos que han dado pie a teorias conspirativas sobre la Torre Siete.
Aunque su derrumbamiento potencialmente hizo historia arquitectonica, todos los miles de las toneladas de acero del rascacielos fueron llevados a otro lugar para ser fundidos.
La tercera torre era ocupada por el Servicio Secreto, la Agencia Central de Inteligencia, el Departamento de Defensa y la Agencia Federal para Manejo de Emergencias (FEMA, por sus siglas en ingles), encargada de coordinar cualquier respuesta a un desastre o un ataque terrorista.
La destruccion de la tercera torre nunca fue mencionada en el Informe de la Comision del 11-S. La primera investigacion oficial del FEMA fue incapaz de establecer que fue lo que causo su derrumbamiento.
En mayo de 2002, el FEMA concluyo que el edificio se derrumbo porque incendios intensos se habian prolongado durante horas, alimentados por miles de galones de diesel almacenados en e l edificio. Pero dijo que esto tenia "solo una pequena probabilidad de haber ocurrido", y que era necesario trabajar mas en el tema.
Pero ahora, casi siete anos despues de los ataques del 11-S, la explicacion oficial definitiva de lo que ocurrio con la tercera torre sera finalmente publicada en Estados Unidos.
"Lentitud"
El NIST ha pasado mas de dos anos investigando la Torre Siete, pero el director del estudio, Shyam Sunder, rechaza las criticas de que ha habido lentitud.
"Hemos estado en esto por un poco mas de dos anos, y una investigacion de dos anos, o dos anos y medio no es inusual, en absoluto. Ese es el mismo tipo de marco de tiempo que se utiliza cuando hacemos investigaciones de accidentes aereos, y eso toma unos anos".
Los investigadores no pudieron analizar muestras de acero de la tercera torre, porque fue fundido.
Debilidad estructural
Segun el instituto, la tercera torre del World Trade Center tenia un diseno insolito, pues estaba construida sobre una subestacion de electricidad y un metro; hubo muchos incendios que ardieron durante horas; y crucialmente, los bomberos no podian luchar contra esos fuegos en la Torre Siete porque no tenian suficiente agua y se dedicaron a salvar vidas.
Los investigadores han centrado su atencion en el lado oriental de la torre donde los largos palmos de piso estaban sometidos a una mayor tension.
Ellos piensan que los incendios ardieron durante mucho tiempo, suficiente para debilitar y romper muchas de las conexiones que mantenian unida la estructura de acero.
Las mas susceptibles eran las vigas mas delgadas del piso que requirieron menos fuego, y las conexiones entre las vigas y las columnas. Al calentarse las conexiones fallaron y las vigas cedieron y se malograron, dicen los investigadores.
El derrumbamiento de la primera de las torres gemelas no parece haber causado ningun dano serio a la Torre Siete, pero el derrumbe de la Torre Norte, de 417 metros, lanzo escombros a la Torre Siete, que estaba tan solo a 106 metros de distancia.
La Torre Siete se vino abajo a las 5:21pm. Hasta el momento la mayoria de las fotografias han registrado los tres lados del edificio que no mostraban mucho dano fisico obvio. Pero ahora nuevas fotos del lado sur del edificio, que de manera crucial miraba hacia la Torre Norte, muestran todo ese lado entero danado y envuelto en humo.

Profecías contra Egipto
CAPÍTULO 29
1En el año décimo, en el mes décimo, a los doce días del mes, vino a mí palabra de Yahweh, diciendo: 2Hijo de hombre, pon tu rostro contra Faraón rey de Egipto, y profetiza contra él y contra todo Egipto. 3Habla, y di: Así ha dicho Yahweh el Señor: He aquí yo estoy contra ti, Faraón rey de Egipto, el gran dragón que yace en medio de sus ríos, el cual dijo: Mío es el Nilo, pues yo lo hice. 4Yo, pues, pondré garfios en tus quijadas, y pegaré los peces de tus ríos a tus escamas, y te sacaré de en medio de tus ríos, y todos los peces de tus ríos saldrán pegados a tus escamas. 5Y te dejaré en el desierto a ti y a todos los peces de tus ríos; sobre la faz del campo caerás; no serás recogido, ni serás juntado; a las fieras de la tierra y a las aves del cielo te he dado por comida. 6Y sabrán todos los moradores de Egipto que yo soy Yahweh, por cuanto fueron báculo de caña a la casa de Israel. 7Cuando te tomaron con la mano, te quebraste, y les rompiste todo el hombro; y cuando se apoyaron en ti, te quebraste, y les rompiste sus lomos enteramente. 8Por tanto, así ha dicho Yahweh el Señor: He aquí que yo traigo contra ti espada, y cortaré de ti hombres y bestias. 9Y la tierra de Egipto será asolada y desierta, y sabrán que yo soy Yahweh; por cuanto dijo: El Nilo es mío, y yo lo hice. 10Por tanto, he aquí yo estoy contra ti, y contra tus ríos; y pondré la tierra de Egipto en desolación, en la soledad del desierto, desde Migdol hasta Sevene, hasta el límite de Etiopía. 11No pasará por ella pie de hombre, ni pie de animal pasará por ella, ni será habitada, por cuarenta años. 12Y pondré a la tierra de Egipto en soledad entre las tierras asoladas, y sus ciudades entre las ciudades destruidas estarán desoladas por cuarenta años; y esparciré a Egipto entre las naciones, y lo dispersaré por las tierras.13Porque así ha dicho Yahweh el Señor: Al fin de cuarenta años recogeré a Egipto de entre los pueblos entre los cuales fueren esparcidos; 14y volveré a traer los cautivos de Egipto, y los llevaré a la tierra de Patros, a la tierra de su origen; y allí serán un reino despreciable. 15En comparación con los otros reinos será humilde; nunca más se alzará sobre las naciones; porque yo los disminuiré, para que no vuelvan a tener dominio sobre las naciones. 16Y no será ya más para la casa de Israel apoyo de confianza, que les haga recordar el pecado de mirar en pos de ellos; y sabrán que yo soy Yahweh el Señor. 17Aconteció en el año veintisiete en el mes primero, el día primero del mes, que vino a mí palabra de Yahweh, diciendo: 18Hijo de hombre, Nabucodonosor rey de Babilonia hizo a su ejército prestar un arduo servicio contra Tiro. Toda cabeza ha quedado calva, y toda espalda desollada; y ni para él ni para su ejército hubo paga de Tiro, por el servicio que prestó contra ella. 19Por tanto, así ha dicho Yahweh el Señor; He aquí que yo doy a Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, la tierra de Egipto; y él tomará sus riquezas, y recogerá sus despojos, y arrebatará botín, y habrá paga para su ejército. 20Por su trabajo con que sirvió contra ella le he dado la tierra de Egipto; porque trabajaron para mí, dice Yahweh el Señor. 21En aquel tiempo haré retoñar el poder de la casa de Israel. Y abriré tu boca en medio de ellos, y sabrán que yo soy Yahweh.
Egipto simboliza el carácter definitivo del hombre sin Dios, la confianza en si mismo del hombre como si fuera dios, ya que Faraón se consideraba dios mismo.
Faraón rey de Egipto es descrito en la Palabra como el gran dragón, el diablo, rey del mundo. v4 Sus ríos, gente y doctrinas paganas se secarán y sus peces morirán. Su proyecto es destruido, como el de todos los que confían en el mundo. v14 los volverá a su tierra (tras la ocupación Árabe y de Alejandro magno) y será una nación despreciable. Hoy ya no son los dominadores sino meros mediadores históricos. Volverán a la tierra de Patros. Es una contraposición con Israel, la Iglesia que será traída a su presencia y defendida del mal, y Egipto, será llevado a mala tierra y serán despreciables, v16 y ya no serán para la casa de Israel, la Iglesia, la mente del hombre que es santo, de apoyo nunca más, (no mirar atrás como Lot) no debe confiar el hombre en su pasada experiencia sin Dios, no debe confiar en el mundo

properly Seventh a town of Egypt, on the frontier of Cush or Ethiopia, (Ezekiel 29:10; 30:6) represented by the present Aruan or Es-Suan.
Syene
A city on the southern frontiers of Egypt, towards Ethiopia, between Thebes and the cataracts of the Nile, and now called Assouan. Pliny says it stands in a peninsula on the eastern shore of the Nile; that is was mile in circumference, and had a Rome garrison. "From Migdol," the tower, "unto Syene," denotes the whole length of Egypt from north to south, Ezekiel 29:10; 30:6. Few remains of the ancient city are now extant. In its vicinity are quarries of the Egyptian granite called Syenite, which furnished the material for numerous obelisks and colossal statues.

Ancient city of Egypt on the Ethiopian frontier in the Thebaid; situated on the eastern bank of the Nile, equidistant from Alexandria and Meroe. In the Bible it is called "Sweneh" ( ; Egyptian, "Sun"; Coptic, "Suan," whence it may be assumed that the Hebrew name was originally , the ה being a locative suffix). Syene is mentioned as a frontier city of Egypt (Ezek. xxix. 10, xxx. 6); but the combination "migdol Sweneh" (A. V. "tower of Syene") is due to a corruption of the text, as was seen by Jerome ( ad loc.). The Septuagint accordingly has a place-name, "Magdolon"; so that the passage should read "from Magdolon [the northern frontier of Egypt] to Syene [the southern boundary]." While Jerome refers to a tower still standing there in his time, this was merely a Roman fort. Josephus also alludes to Syene as a frontier city ("B. J." iv. 10, § 5). Neubauer is wrong in asserting ("G. T." p. 419) that coins from Syene are mentioned in the Talmud (Ket. 67b). The entire district is rich in deposits of pink granite called syenite (Pliny, "Historia Naturalis," xxxvi. 8, § 13). The Syrians termed the place "Aswan," the name by which it is known to-day (Assouan). The modern city, however, lies northeast of the ancient Syene.

The Hebrew, indeed Sumerian, word from which Magdalene comes is "migdal," tower or pillar. Let us mention a passage in the Hebrew Bible, from the prophet Micah, which refers to this unique name. Read this with the themes we have discussed above in mind.
As for you, O [Magdal-eder], watchtower of the flock, O stronghold of the Daughter of Zion! The former dominion will be restored to you; kingship will come to the Daughter of Jerusalem. Why do you now cry aloud -- have you no king? Has your counselor perished, that pain seizes you like that of a woman in labor? Writhe in agony, O Daughter of Zion, like a woman in labor, for now you must leave the city and camp in an open field.(22)
