Register or Login to view.When you present your comparisons, leave out *everything* that is not directly contained in either VMS or Enoch. Presenting multiple random images from unrelated documents provides absolutely nothing of any relevance!
You need to compare the actual contents of VMS with the actual contents of Enoch (which I now understand is not illustrated), and *only* that - and do it in a far deeper manner than making single-word matches.
For example, if Enoch talks about angels, and you see illustrations that you think look like angels in VMS... even presenting a thousand illustrations of angels from other historical documents presents absolutely no evidence of connection between VMS and Enoch whatsoever.
If you can grasp that simple fact, you might be able to rethink your ideas and present them in a more rational manner. So, suggested step 1: Random image spamming gets you nowhere, so stop doing it.
For me, the 'random' image spamming is the most interesting part of this thread. He has posted many images that -while they did not prove an Enoch connection- did lead to genuinely interesting comparisons of imagery. Regardless of their relevance to his theory, he is digging up stuff we haven't seen before.
Earlier in the thread there were also occasionally interesting comparisons with text such as the comparison with the rosettes and some enochian text. (page 15 of his linked pdf in the OP of this thread).
So I get what you're saying, and don't disagree with you on the relevance of many of his images (I have told him as much on multiple occasions), but telling him to just stop posting images as comparisons will lead to this thread being less valuable, not more.
And when it comes to the lion, I don't think he was saying "here is a lion from enoch", he was just demonstrating that the plant root looks like a common medieval depiction of a lion. Yes, this boils down to "it looks like a lion, and the word 'lion' is somewhere in Enoch", but that's a seperate issue.
Hmm, yes, those are good points. In seeing this as solely an attempt to support the Enoch hypothesis, I'd neglected the value of uncovering other illustrations for their own, unrelated, insights.
And yes, I'd just assumed the 'random' illustrations were from Enoch - I mean, isn't that what we might expect when someone tries to connect one document with another?
So yes, you're right... there definitely is benefit in finding other illustrations that look similar to VMS ones, in general VMS research terms. But conflating them within attempts to prove Enoch seems self-defeating.
So, Radim, do you think there might be value in spinning out a new discussion for uncovering illustrations similar to VMS, but keeping the Enoch argument focused on things that are actually directly relevant to VMS?

This makes it more likely (or obvious) that the earlier comparisons are also coincidental.
