Meet Legendary researcher and author Jordan Maxwell and his astonishing work
Among early Christians, several gospels circulated before the Church outlawed those not chosen for the Bible. One of them, the Gospel of Judas, is believed to be among the oldest texts describing Jesus and holds that Judas was not a traitor, but Jesus' closest confident. Condemned by the Church, Judas believers hid the last exemplar in the Egyptian desert 1700 years ago, where it was found in the 1970s. Now, the restored document will be made public and returned to a Cairo museum. Secrets of Judas, Jesus kept in Egypt for 1700 years

Most beautiful Botan valley facing destruction, It sure looks like Turkey, like Israel, the US etc...and what´s going on all over the world today, is doing what it has done for hundred of years - exterminated and exploitated
Zivzik pomegranates
The Çetin dam being built by Çetin Enerji, a subsidiary of the Norwegian company Statkraft, 3 kilometres from the village of Zivzik, will reach a height of 145 metres when completed and store 10% of the Botan river flow. Once a 10 km square lake forms behind the Çetin dam an annual production of between 110 and 300 kilowatts is predicted. The dam lake will affect the agricultural land of many villagers and will submerge the famous pomegranate orchards for which the village of Zivzik is renowned.
Actually, it seems like a VERY stupid idea to flood villages such as Zivzik. And it sure looks like Turkish authorities have had other plans for Zivzik in Siirt for a long time.

Siirt Organized Industrial Zone
Siirt Chamber of Commerce and Industry (STSO) Vice President Fuat Özgür Çalapkulu, in an interview with Sunday's Zaman, said Siirt had a very limited economy, adding that there were only seven individuals who invested in the industrial zone in Siirt from 2006 to the end of 2012. “With the settlement process that started close to the end of 2012, the number of new investors planning to invest in the organized industrial zone was 14 for the first eight months of 2013. The total number of investors operating in the industrial zone has increased to 21.
In response to a question about what kind of development projects he plans for Siirt in order to boost its economy, Siirt Governor Aydın said they have two separate plans. One is based on agriculture, while the other is based on tourism. “As part of the first plan, the governor's office will provide incentives to producers of products native to the region such as Siirt fıstığı [Siirt pistachios], Zivzik narı [Zivzik pomegranate] and menengiç [terebinth trees].
The second development plan is to revive tourism in the city focusing on faith tourism. As you may know, the tomb of the famous Yemeni mystic Uwais al-Qarani is in Siirt. Tillo [a center for religious figures] is another place of attraction in Siirt. It is estimated that the tombs of 12,000 saints are located in Tillo. Some major religious philosophers such as İsmail Fakirullah, Sultan Memduh and İbrahim Hakkı Erzurumi [who left behind scholarly works in a range of fields, from mathematics to astronomy] are buried in Tillo.”
ANF - SIIRT 04.05.2014, With the increasing number of Hydroelectric power projects being constructed for security (!) reasons in Kurdistan the Botan valley is facing destruction. A total of 16 projects planned in the region indicate that a total environmental and historical disaster is on the cards. While all over the world there is a search for alternative energy resources, in Turkey Hydroelectric projects are still in vogue and the Botan valley has become a centre for these projects. Despite protests against the building of dams on the pretext of security, the state and the Governor of Siirt are persisting with the projects.
In Siirt province there are a total of 16 dams planned by the state and the private sector. Once all these hydroelectric power stations, some of which are at the construction stage, begin to operate, the valley will be submerged.
The dams being built are:
*Limak Siirt is building 8 dams on the Botan river
* The Çetin Dam (350 MW) is being built by Statgraft
* The Alkumru Dam (267 MW) is also being built by Limak
* The Incir Dam (140 MW)is being built by EnerjiSa
* The Pervari Dam (120 MW) is also being built by EnerjiSa
* The Keskin Dam (164 MW) is being built by Bitlis Enerji
* The Oran Dam (63 MW) is being built by AGE
* The Kirazlik Dam (45 MW) is being built by Limak and partners
* The Narli Dam (36 MW) is being built by Aksa
A 6,000-year-old settlement will be submerged
Both old and new settlement areas will be submerged. On account of the dam-building archaeological digs have been intensified. One site where excavation is taking place is the village of Çattepe (Tillé Nawro) in Kurtalan district. A 6,000-year-old town has been discovered after 4 years of excavations. During the excavations a game board measuring 2.50 x 1.50 metres has been found. 49 small stones and figures have also been found in the mound, with different coloured objects in green, red, blue, black and white, thought to be the oldest pieces of a board game yet discovered.
Dozens of people have died
Dozens of people have died in Siirt as a result of the construction or of dam gates being opened without warning, causing a sudden rise in water levels. In 2011 in a six-week period 17 people died in this way. In the latest incident Fehim Özbey (39) went for a picnic with his three children at lunch time between the villages of Kutmiz and Billoris. They went for a dip in the Botan river when the water suddenly rose as a result of the Alkumru dam gates being opened without prior warning. Fehim Özbey desperately tried to save his children, but he was unable to save Serdar Özbey (18) and Ibrahim Özbey (11), and he was also carried away by the current.
