The Spartans are relatives of the Jews!

1 Maccabees 12:20-22
Common English Bible (CEB)
"King Arius of the Spartans. To the high priest Onias. Greetings! It has been discovered in a written record that the Spartans and the Jews are relatives and are both of the family of Abraham. Since we have learned this, please let us know how you are.."

*Some bibles refer to the books of the Maccabees as Deuterocanonical or Apocryphal, while some modern bibles omit the books completely. But a quick study of what books were contained in the original King James and Luther bible will confirm their inclusion.

There was a real "Home Tree" in South Africa!

During the early 1800's Shaka's wars were accompanied by great slaughter and caused many migrations. Their effects were felt even far north of the Zambezi River. Because they feared Shaka, leaders like Zwangendaba, Mzilikazi, and Shoshangane moved northwards far into the central African interior and in their turn sowed war and destruction before developing their own kingdoms. Some estimate that during his reign Shaka caused the death of more than a million people. Shaka's wars between 1818 and 1828 contributed to a series of forced migrations known in various parts of southern Africa as the Mfecane, Difaqane, Lifaqane, or Fetcani. Groups of refugees from Shaka's assaults, first Hlubi and Ngwane clans, later followed by the Mantatees and the Matabele of Mzilikazi, crossed the Drakensberg to the west, smashing chiefdoms in their path. Famine and chaos followed the wholesale extermination of populations and the destruction of herds and crops between the Limpopo and the Gariep River. Old chiefdoms vanished and new ones were created.

When Mzilikazi (who was considered by many to be the next greatest military leader of South Africa after Shaka) was killing some of the smaller tribes to make space for his newly established Matabele kingdom, there were some Tswana survivors who had built grass huts on scaffolds within a gigantic tree as a safeguard against nocturnal visits of some rather bold lions. This old Ficus ingens, with long, massive branches drooping to the ground, where they have struck root, is now known as ‘Moffat's Tree' or the ‘Inhabited Tree'. It was identified in the 1960s and can be seen on the farm Bultfontein at Boshoek, a farming area between Rustenburg and Sun City.
