September 11 in History Editor's Comments ©September11News.com Our research on September 11 in history uncovered many anomalies and perhaps a significant prophetic sign. The most startling discovery was a book written in 1981, 20 years prior to the 2001 attacks, called "The Birth of Christ Recalculated". The author, Dr. Ernest L. Martin, claims to have calculated the exact date of Jesus Christ's birth based on the celestial charts for that era. The date of Christ's birth, based on the famous Star of Bethlehem, is calculated to be September 11, 3 B.C.. Dr. Martin's findings have been accepted by many scholars, theologians, historians, and astronomers. We also note that Jesus Christ has 11 letters. The crosses found standing in the ruins of the WTC, and the dominance of the number 11 in the 9-11 events, make this combination even more mysterious. There is another significant religious event occurring about 2000 years later on September 11, 1999. According to Hebrew scriptures September 11, 1999 was the 6,000th anniversary of Adam's creation, and year 1 on the Hebrew calendar. Most other historic events between those 2,002 years (3 B.C. -1999 A.D.) involve either war or violence Both the World Trade Center and the Pentagon have September 11th in their history. On September 11, 1609 the explorer Henry Hudson sailed into New York harbor and discovers Manhattan Island and the Hudson River. (Right photo: A replica of Hudson's ship the Half Moon re-creating the discovery of Manhattan on Sept. 11th, 1609.) On September 11, 1941 construction officially begins at the Pentagon Other events that appear to have uncanny similar timing in relation to the 9-11-2001 attacks were the 1972 Olympics, and President Bush's 1990 Gulf War Speech. The world was introduced to terrorism at the 1972 Munich Olympic Games. These games ended on September 11, 1972. There were 121 participating countries (11X11=121), and 11 Israeli athletes were killed. Exactly 29 years (2+9=11) after this terrorist horror ended, another more despicable horror occurred - the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. On September 11, 1990 President George Bush (Sr.) made a dramatic speech to Congress, outlining the US position in the Kuwait crisis, and the preliminary steps the US was taking towards the Gulf War. Exactly 11 years later, on September 11, 2001, terrorists attacked America. There is another oddity we noted in our research. On September 11, 1772, about 300 Indians and 50 British soldiers began the siege of Fort Henry. This would be the last battle of the American Revolution. Researchers and historians of this siege are puzzled by the meaning of a comment in a document describing these events. It was recorded in a letter written by Lydia Cruger (11 letters), and it seems a fitting comment to this section. She wrote, "The siege commenced about sun an hour high, Monday, 11th, at all events, the 11th." September 11th plays a key role throughout early American history including a failed peace conference with the British on September 11, 1776, and the first day the American flag was used in battle at the Battle of Brandywine on September 11, 1777.
