I think everyone is beginning to see that we might be on to something REALLY BIG. I think that our entire understanding of how Judaism became Christianity will have to be rewritten as a result of what we are about to prove (if you just started to read this blog see below). I just want to remind my readers about something when they look at the image of Lochias (the peninsula that justs out in the sea). This was the place where the Royal Palaces were located. If the reader thinks in terms of the Flaccus story for instance, this is where Flaccus lived. The walls of Alexandria were just further east and beyond the walls were the Jewish community. While the rectangular shape might look like it is 'way off shore' it is owing to changes in the shoreline wrought by modern engineers in Egypt.
Getting back to Lochias, the peninsula that now remains is a shadow of its former self. The Royal Palace filled the northeast angle of the town and occupying the promontory of Lochias, which shut in the Great Harbour on the east. Lochias has almost entirely disappeared into the sea, together with the palaces, the "Private Port" and the island of Antirrhodus.
If we can mentally 'fill in' what is missing from that peninsula we can more easily fill in the original shoreline which would have placed what I assume to be the Jewish temple (the rectangular shape in the water) as the original shoreline in Boucolia.
One might even imagine a situation where the Jews might have built the temple out into the waters (either by moving stones or concrete) to avoid the 'pollution' of the graves which dotted the shore).
dating back to conversations with his grandfather, Gaston Frank. "He said we represent one of the last descendants of the Frankist Jewish faith in the world," he muses. "I grew up thinking that our family was something like the Last of the Mohicans."
