This book proves the return of the Destroyer as the ancient Hebrews
and Egyptians called it in both the. We also know it by may
different names such as: Nibiru, Hercolubus, Red Planet, Frightener
and so on.
Author and Planet X historian Greg Jenner spent decades connecting
the dots for this book so that you can master this content in a
single day. In this book, he reveals startling connections between
the Holy Bible, The Kolbrin Bible and other folklore, wisdom texts
and predictions. He outlines the return of the Destroyer by arguing
its cyclical nature.
To prove the cyclical nature of the destroyer, he includes three
epic sagas gleaned from the Kolbrin Bible, including the sinking of
Atlantis, the Deluge (Noah s Flood) and Exodus. As you will
discover later, the Destroyer caused or contributed to all three of
these events."
If you are amongst those who have experienced life-changing
dreams, visions, premonitions and epiphanies of catastrophic events
to come, you'll love this book. As an essential companion book to
The Kolbrin Bible, it is also a related title to include Planet X
Forecast and 2012 Survival Guide and Crossing the Cusp: Surviving
the Edgar Cayce Pole Shift by Marshall Masters.

'Fizzes with clever vignettes and juicy tidbits... [a] joyous romp
of a book.' Guardian 'A fascinating, rollicking book in search of
why, where and how fame strikes. Sit back and enjoy the ride.'
Peter Frankopan, author of The Silk Roads '[An] engaging and
well-researched book... Jenner brings his material to vivid life'
Observer Celebrity, with its neon glow and selfie pout, strikes us
as hypermodern. But the famous and infamous have been thrilling,
titillating, and outraging us for much longer than we might
realise. Whether it was the scandalous Lord Byron, whose poetry
sent female fans into an erotic frenzy; or the cheetah-owning,
coffin-sleeping, one-legged French actress Sarah Bernhardt, who
launched a violent feud with her former best friend; or Edmund
Kean, the dazzling Shakespearean actor whose monstrous ego and
terrible alcoholism saw him nearly murdered by his own audience -
the list of stars whose careers burned bright before the Age of
Television is extensive and thrillingly varied. In this ambitious
history, that spans the Bronze Age to the coming of Hollywood's
Golden Age, Greg Jenner assembles a vibrant cast of over 125
actors, singers, dancers, sportspeople, freaks, demigods, ruffians,
and more, in search of celebrity's historical roots. He reveals why
celebrity burst into life in the early eighteenth century, how it
differs to ancient ideas of fame, the techniques through which it
was acquired, how it was maintained, the effect it had on public
tastes, and the psychological burden stardom could place on those
in the glaring limelight. DEAD FAMOUS is a surprising, funny, and
fascinating exploration of both a bygone age and how we came to
inhabit our modern, fame obsessed society.
Greg Jenner es, hoy en d a, uno de los historiadores en vida m?'s
importantes del Planeta X, si no es el mejor En su opini n, los
antiguos fueron muy claros en sus advertencias acerca del Planeta X
y del 2012, y en esta obra, detalla numerosas relaciones entre las
profec as del a o 2012 de los Maya y las de otras culturas, con una
claridad escalofriante. Jenner cree que la Biblia Kolbrin es la
Piedra Rosetta de los tiempos modernos del Planeta X, porque
describe con claridad la destrucci n de la Atl ntida, la Inundaci n
de No y el xodo. Seg n los autores egipcios y celtas de este
antiguo texto sabio, estos cataclismos fueron provocados durante
anteriores sobrevuelos del Planeta X.Si no fuera por la Biblia
Kolbrin, no tendr amos acceso a la mayor parte de este
conocimiento. Se trata de un hecho urgente, porque muchos de sus
presagios ya han tenido lugar y con una conclusi n ineludible. El
pr ximo catastr fico sobrevuelo del Planeta X es inminente
'A wonderful idea, gloriously put into practice. Greg Jenner is as
witty as he is knowledgeable' - Tom Holland 'You will love Greg
Jenner's jolly account of how we have more in common with our
ancestors than we might think ... all human life is here, amusingly
conveyed in intriguing nuggets of gossipy historical anecdote' -
Daily Mail Every day, from the moment our alarm clock wakes us in
the morning until our head hits our pillow at night, we all take
part in rituals that are millennia old. In this gloriously
entertaining romp through human history - featuring new updates for
the paperback edition - BBC Horrible Histories consultant Greg
Jenner explores the hidden stories behind these daily routines.
This is not a story of politics, wars or great events, instead Greg
Jenner has scoured Roman rubbish bins, Egyptian tombs and Victorian
sewers to bring us the most intriguing, surprising and sometimes
downright silly nuggets from our past. It is a history of all those
things you always wondered - and many you have never considered. It
is the story of our lives, one million years in the making.
