They shared knowledge on oceans and made charts that led to Hadji Ahmed map that shows Bering Strait as it was 12,500 years ago. Some of these navigators learned trigonometry and geometry as a natural progression of their travel by stars. Cults of adepts began to value these trade routes and knowledge of where minerals were. There is good reason to believe these things began a very long time before Last Ice Age. The sidereal charts we saw MacDari quote McCarthy and Professor about, Hadji Ahmed map, Australian man, Biblical city of Ophir that Solomon traded with and lots of reasons exist to believe was a trading and mining enterprise in Americas (Ophir=O'Fir and obvious Keltic connection if you have read this book). The 16th century monk Montanus drew maps with two Ophirs in Americas and one was at mouth of Amazon. Then there are white-skinned Easter Island people and Tiki Gods with Red Hair who legend says had mined places in South America.

The forming of metals into knives by Mayans first started with meteorites, and probably this is true allover world. The site of Rhoda near Meteor Crater in Arizona with excellent archaeological proof was ridiculed but should be revisited now that there are many other supposedly anomalous 'finds'. Forget records of Mayans and Incas that talk about white skinned bearded (they don't have facial hair) and red haired people; we don't need to rely on mere legends of truthful people anymore. Certainly we know 'his'-story of Euro-centric white men and Empire builders, is propaganda. So, I say meteorites and their uses and spiritual value led to very early man becoming acquisitive and a traveler, as well as a miner. How early? VERY! Perhaps as long ago as 1.5 million years ago when he noticed meteorite metal on tip of his throwing spear worked better than his straightened mammoth tusk spear.

Proceeding from incentive to trade and travel it required, leads to 'cell diffusion' adepthoods like de Danaan and 'Red-Headed League of Megalith Builders'. There is archaeological evidence for all these things and they all fit with pre-'his'-story of Golden Age of Peace and Harmony that was on Malta and in all nature worship domains such as Gimbutas asserts. The secrets of trade routes and maps not made available until after Templars were back-stabbed by French King in early 1300s makes for a lot of substantial proof and motive. These Portolan maps made trade around Europe easier for all people and put final nail in coffin of feudalism. That does not mean there aren't intrigues and counter-counter plots by those who kept secret for many millenia. The attunements with Earth Energy Grid that archaeology is proving with Nazca lines and Don Robins has shown with megaliths are part of mapping enterprise as well.

The Dardannae or de Danaan of Troy or Wilusia and Hittite archives join interesting little pieces of puzzles but are not overall game of greed and corporate (emporia of Phoenicians) that made Keltic clans break apart from within, as aristocrats began to enjoy each other more than their fellow man. The Druids were last bastion of old shamanic nature worshippers that are at root of Taoism and Yoga. The actual knowledge MacDari speaks to is more important than his historical assertions. This esoteric knowledge was secret and still remains in hands of a few until this day. Some of it is irretrievably lost but little of it is ever considered by academics who talk to media.

Christmas is a time of celebration, rich spiritual tradition, and family. With release of their new CD O Night Divine Catholic music group Cousins in Christ combines these three elements, creating a masterpiece your family will treasure for years to come. These talented young singers, ages fourteen through nineteen, are actually “double cousins” sharing same two sets of grandparents. John Paul Rudolph(19), Rebecca Meyer (18), Matthew Rudolph (17), Katie Meyer (16), David Rudolph (15), and Stephenie Meyer (14) now perform together combining their love of song and their strong Catholic faith formation.

O Night Divine includes twelve timeless performances of traditional Christmas carols, blending a myriad of styles and featured solos and spiritual narratives by each of Cousins. Cousins in Christ recently completed several days of filming accompanying music videos for CDs. These captivating videos will be featured in two EWTN Christmas specials during December. Fr. Mitch Pacwa will spotlight Cousins in Christ and their music in his Christmas special, to be aired on Wednesday December 15th at 7:00 pm and midnight and again on Thursday December 16th at 8:00 am.

The music of O Night Divine will be performed during Cousins in Christ Christmas Special, to be aired on EWTN on Wednesday, December 22 at 7:00 pm and midnight and again on Thursday, December 23rd at 8:00 am.

John Paul Rudolph of Cousins in Christ recently spoke with Register correspondent Lisa Hendey on experience of performing as a young Catholic musician.

Q: How did Cousins in Christ get started singing together and can you tell us about some of your earlier projects? A: The Cousins in Christ are actually double cousins since they share same two sets of grandparents. Steve Rudolph married Rose Marie Meyer. Then Bob Meyer (brother of Rose) married Carol Rudolph (sister of Steve). Rose Marie has been a singer and performer since she was a small child. In 1997, she was preparing to record a country album when her son Kevin suffered a ruptured appendix and was hospitalized as his five year old body was stricken with infection. After a successful surgery, Rose Marie prayed in hospital chapel in thanksgiving. It was there that she felt God’s calling to promote belief of True Presence in Eucharist. Within a few months, she produced our first CD, Bread of Life, Bread of Heaven - The Story of Eucharist for Children.

At time, Cousins ranged in age from newborn to 11. Two vanloads of 10 children traveled 400 miles roundtrip to Chicago for recording sessions. Our parents were impressed by our good behavior, never complaining about long recording sessions, meals on go, and having to keep quiet in studio. We discovered that while each of us was individually talented, blend of our voices was even more beautiful.

Both Rudolph and Meyer families now have six children each – with oldest 3 Rudolph boys and 3 Meyer girls as primary performers under direction of Rose Marie Rudolph.

Q: How does your Catholic faith impact music you record?

A: Our Catholic faith provides foundation and core of our music for we began first and foremost as a music ministry to bring souls to Christ. Our hope is to respond to call of Pope John Paul II to evangelize through media and use our talents for God. We generally record one or more original songs for each CD – ranging from honor of Our Blessed Mother to pro-life, pro-child themes and even one ambitious attempt to incorporate Familias Consortio and Humanae Vitae into song! Q: What is it like to be a teenager or young adult involved in Music industry?

A: It is very exciting. We are fortunate to have this experience at such a young age. However, being involved in this ever-changing industry has challenges in itself. To an extent, we have become role models for our peers, and have to act accordingly. We find that trying to mix school, work, family obligations and social time while practicing for performances and planning for future CDs is sometimes overwhelming! We’ve learned quickly that responding to God’s call requires maturity and sacrifice. And God has provided graces for us to grow spiritually and artistically. John Paul and Rebecca have both been awarded college scholarships for vocal performance and younger Cousins will hopefully follow in their footsteps.
