Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to Truth Be Told Paranormal, where we uncover the
hidden forces shaping our past, present and future. I'm your host,
Tony Sweet, and today we're diving deep into the ancient world.
New discoveries in June twenty twenty four are rewriting what
we thought we knew about Biblical history, elite societies in

(00:26):
ancient Jerusalem, and even the very nature of early seafaring civilizations.
Stick around because what lies beneath the sand and sea
might just change how we see the sacred and the supernatural.
Discovered during the Gavadi parking lot excavations in Jerusalem City

(00:47):
of David, archaeologists found a two three hundred year old
solid gold ring, likely made for a child, dating back
to the Hellenistic era around the second century beasts. It's small, delicate,
and priceless, not just in material but in meaning. A
child's gold ring crafted over two thousand years ago, discovered

(01:10):
beneath the layers of Jerusalem. But why was a child,
likely from an elite family, wearing such wealth and what
does it tell us about the mysterious power dynamics of
ancient Israel. This was not a time associated with glittering luxury.
It was an age of transition after Alexander the Great

(01:35):
during the Hellenistic period, when Greek influence swept into Jewish life.
The ring hints at a blend of cultures of privilege
of a family that likely had influence in both sacred
and political spheres. But here's where it gets strange. Nearby
discoveries included amulets and ritualistic items, suggesting that this area

(02:02):
may have held more than just political power, but spiritual
significance too. Could this child have been linked to a
priestly bloodline or even a royal one. Is this a
remnant of a lost chapter in Jerusalem's ocult past? What
was this ring protecting or proclaiming? And why did it

(02:25):
remain hidden for over two thousand years only to be
unearthed now. In June twenty twenty four, Israel announced the
discovery of a late Bronze Age shipwreck submerged over a
mile beneath the Mediterranean Sea, dating back thirty three hundred
thirty four hundred years around thirteen hundred BCEE, the oldest

(02:47):
of its kind ever found in deep waters. Imagine a
ghost ship lying silent at the bottom of the sea
for over three millennia. That's not just poetic, it's real.
Off the coast of Israel, a team using robotic submersibles
discovered something utterly unprecedented, A complete shipwreck thousands of years old,

(03:12):
preserved in the cold, crushing blackness of the deep Mediterranean.
Its cargo jars, dozens of them, intact, sealed, still whispering
stories from a world long gone. This wasn't a coastal vessel.
It had journeyed into the open sea, defying what we

(03:34):
believed about Bronze Age navigation. Until now, scholars assumed such
ancient mariners hug the shoreline. This find says otherwise. But
here's where the mystery intensifies. The jars are Canaanite in origin,
matching the region where many biblical stories took place. Could

(03:54):
this ship have been on a sacred mission? Could it
have carried ceremonial oils, temple goods, or even offerings meant
for ancient gods? Some even wonder was this a lost
arc of its own kind? In ancient texts, the sea

(04:15):
was a symbol of chaos, a place where Leviathan lurked,
where the divine met the unknown. What else rests in
the darkness waiting to be discovered or awakened. What do
a child's golden ring and a lost ship a mile
beneath the sea have in common power, wealth, movement, ritual

(04:37):
and mystery. The Gavati parking lot site in Jerusalem continues
to reveal artifacts from powerful families, possibly priests, governors, or
Hellenistic Jewish hybrids, and the deep sea vessel may be
evidence of international trade and spiritual exchange far beyond what

(04:58):
we imagine possible at that time. Could we be looking
at a previously unknown elite network spanning sacred temples in
Jerusalem to trade hubs along the Mediterranean. Could these elites
have been involved in early mystery religions or occult practices

(05:21):
that merged Egyptian, Canaanite and Jewish rights. As we peel
back the layers of time, we find more than pottery
and gold. We find intention, belief, and the supernatural pulse
that beat through ancient cities and storm tossed sees. These
discoveries remind us the past isn't buried, It's only hidden,

(05:45):
waiting for the right moment to rise. So ask yourself
what truths are still out there just beneath the surface.
