This work delves into the intricate web of human ancestry, examining the implications of shared ancestry, inbreeding, and the genetic connections that tie us all together. It discusses historical events, such as Armageddon as depicted by William Blake, while analyzing the impact of inbreeding among European royals and the consequences of genetic relationships in species like the anglerfish and elephant seals. Moreover, it highlights the mathematical patterns of ancestry and the statistics that reveal our common connections, tracing the complex lineage over generations.

Armageddon The city of Megiddo – the biblical Armageddon
THE ARITHMETIC OF ARMAGEDDON – 722 BC 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 …… fifty times: comes to 100,000,000,000,000,(a hundred million million) supposed ancestors. At a generous guess the real number of people then was 100,000,000 (a hundred million). Ie not enough ancestors - which means SHARED ANCESTRY AND UNIVERSAL INBREEDING!
