Sites in the Apocalypse of John
sources of rare substances
|
One antient secret was the source of amber : though imported into the Mediterranean since the 2nd millennium before the Christian era, its source was being kept so secret by Mediterranean governments that the very paeninsula (consisting of Norway-Sweden-Finland) whence it was derived remained unmentioned by both Hellenic and Latin geographers. |
It did receive mention, however, in occult writings (which would be kept secret anyway) of that era : it is the "transparent gold" wherein the streets of New Jerusalem are said to be paved in 21:18 of the Apocalypse of John. Also, the 12 foundations thereof in that text suggest another area of secret governmental research, namely the geological strata. |
|
Alike to the amber as solidified plant-sap, another type of solidified plant-sap is likely to have been known in antiquity, but kept secret by governments : rubber. The country of rubber’s source, kept secret by the antient geographers, would be Kongo-Zaire. |
The solidification by sulphur (vulcanization) is likely to be alluded to the "lake of fire and brimstone" in 21:8 of the same chapter in the Apocalypse of John. |
