he Great Power Blackout of’03 is history but lessons re-main to be learned. Themore practical and technical

we will leave to the engineers and thepoliticians (but don’t miss Tom Val-lone on Nikola Tesla’s plan for thewireless transmission of energy onpage 32). It occurs, however, that afew points could be made about a dif-ferent kind of infrastructure also inneed of repair.

The most important of all energynetworks—the web of life itself, orwhat the ancients called the antahka-rana—seems in trouble on Earth and ithas been that way for some time.

In the greater scheme of things, ithas been said that subtle energy flowsfrom the central sun—the main gener-ating station—through a vast network of step-down transformers (organismsthroughout the universe) ultimately to support life at all levels from theone-celled to the galactic. As creatures evolve in consciousness, the storygoes, they advance to higher rungs of the ladder and at each successivestage are plugged into ever larger circuits. According to this school ofthought, there was once a period of universal harmony when, as energyflowed freely from the greatest to the least, the life lights burned brightlyand reliably in the remotest precincts of the cosmos. The age of reliableuniversal power distribution, unfortunately, was, at some point interruptedon Earth. Lights in many quarters went dark, it seems, while other areas ex-perienced a kind of brownout.

Attempts, by an enlightened few, to get the grid back up have beengoing on for some time. But, in fact, some places have been dark so long,no one seems to remember what light was like or even that everything wasonce connected by a functioning network.

One of the most unsettling consequences has been the virtual disappear-ance of the uniting circuitry. As a result, many have ceased to understandor believe in the connectedness of things. In their minds actions have be-come separated from reactions, causes from effects—the behavior of thenight before from the hangovers of the morning after. Losing sight, in thedarkness, of the connective tissue which ties us to our source, many havecome to believe that they are alone, and that life is absurd and withoutmeaning—little more than a cosmic joke. The fear they feel is expressed inacts of rage which have only made the situation worse. And so it has gonefor as long as anyone can remember.

The good news is, efforts to repair the damage are accelerating. Unfortu-nately, though, full power restoration will not come easily. The tatteredpower lines cannot take much voltage. Getting things back on line couldrequire some serious infrastructure reconstruction. Some, however, in-cluding us, believe a few well-placed ideas here and a little informationthere could do a lot to get the lights burning again.

known to our readers. There are also“forums” on the Atlantis Rising website (go to www.AtlantisRising.comand select “Discussion”).

Vedic HeresiesI enjoyed reading Michael Cremo’s

Investigations in the Antiquity of theRanganatha Temple in South India,and “The New Heretic,” comments byDr. Eugene F. Mallove.

As I was reading Mr. Cremo’s com-ments about extreme human antiq-uity, the Vedas, and his hope offinding the true age of the Ranganathatemple of Tamil Nadu, India, I won-dered why he did not mention the an-cient ruins found off the coast of Ma-habalipuram in Tamil Nadu, SouthernIndia that were explored by a largeteam led by a British author and tele-vision presenter Graham Hancock inspring of 2002. Apparently some scien-tists estimated that the ancient ruinsexplored there could be some 11,000years old. I read of this discovery whileI was in Tamil Nadu this past fall, vis-iting a Vedic cosmologist.

I was intrigued when Cremo de-scribed the Vedic cosmological cal-endar and the cycles of the yugas. Hewrote, “There are four yugas in eachcycle: a Satya Yuga, a Dwapara Yuga, aTreta Yuga, and a Kali Yuga. A cycle offour yugas lasts 4,320,000 years ... Ac-cording to the traditional calendar, weare now in the Kali Yuga of the currentyuga cycle.”

The Vedic cosmologist I visited, Pa-trizia Norelli-Bachelet, has a much dif-ferent seeing/understanding of theYugas—a seeing that actually puts herin the “Heretic” category right alongwith Dr. Mallove, her field being Vediccosmology rather than science. Ms.Bachelet as well as Dr. Mallove hasmuch to offer toward the advancementof our civilization, and specifically inhelping mankind understand the flowof evolution in time.

“The figures of the Yugas (Ages),”Ms. Norelli-Bachelet writes in her bookThe Gnostic Circle, are not in actualfact years, as is commonly believed,but rather to seconds of degrees of ce-lestial longitude.”

thousands of years ago, and that thefamous ‘three strides of Vishnu’ saidto measure out the universe are thethree fixed signs Leo, Taurus andAquarius, in that order, which is theprecessional movement.

Her discoveries involve the bed-rock of Hindu culture and, thoughcontroversial, have received wide ex-posure in Indian publications in-cluding The Hindu (9/7/02), TheNew Indian Express (3/6/01), Pra-kash Bhavan (4/03). India is acountry used to heretics and cults ofevery hue—one seems to have morefreedom to express heretical ideasthere than any place else in theworld.

I feel the researchers in AtlantisRising must be made aware of the in-formation Ms. Norelli-Bachelet bringsto light, because it will turn upsidedown the theories of even the mostprominent Vedic astrologers. Ac-cording to Ms. Norelli-Bachelet, thereis a misnomer—all those who go by

the title Vedic astrologer should becalled ‘Post Vedic’ since their systemevolved almost a thousand years afterthe Rig Veda was penned. In actuality,she writes, they are non-Vedic.

I hope that “heretic” archaeologists,scientists, astrologers and cosmologistsbegin to find their way to her avant-garde work (despite the fact, or espe-cially because, it is heretical in modernVedic studies) because it seems to mecrucial information and support for thewhole process of de-construction ofold false Ideas (whether scientific orspiritual) of who we are, who we havebeen, and what we might be evolvingtowards, and the process of aligningwith a greater truth of being.

The Dirty Power MessThe article on dirty power deserves

a response. While the article raises con-cerns it also stops short and even pro-motes fear of this magical thing calledelectricity. To say that electricitycauses a tumor has to be sloppythinking. It would be more correct tosay that the electricity causes or influ-ences, or better, gives life to an or-ganism to go wild on cell developmentand yield up the tumors. Electricitycannot have life itself. This is impor-

She goes on to explain that the Ka-liyuga is a measurement that com-prises, in terms of the Precession ofthe Equinoxes, four astrological signsof 2,160 years each or 8640 years. “Ka-liyuga is only the key. In effect it doesnot exist, or as was stated in [“TheMysterious Yugas”] “We are always ina Kaliyuga.’. . . In truth mankind is inthe ‘dark’ simply by not realizing thatthere is no such thing as a Kaliyuga,and that in effect the Age of Darknessis only determined by an ignorance ofTruth, which can come about in anyage.”

According to Ms. Norelli-Bachelet,the Kaliyuga is a basic measurement,used to measure out, in three parts, a“Great Year” consisting of three pas-sages through the entire zodiac by thePrecession of the Equinoxes, meaningpassage through 36 ages of 2160 yearseach, i.e., 77,760 years. A Dwapa-rayuga, being twice a Kaliyuga, wouldthen be 17,280 years, a Tretayuga—25,920 years and a Satyayuga—34,560years. By her calculations, our currentcivilization is 77 years into the 2160-year Age of Aquarius, and we havebeen in a Satyayuga for over 10,000years (since the Precession of the Equi-noxes crossed 0 degrees Leo).

She also shows how the tropical zo-diac now commonly used by Westernastrologists was known to ancientrishis—the authors of the Rig Veda—

tant. The ancient occultists would saythat the life body was influenced insome manner—and the response seenwas the tumor. There is a light whichdisplays electromagnetic effects and alife which does not. Reich’s orgone en-ergy must be included somehow inthis mix.

To understand light and electromag-netic effects, one has to be familiarwith the two-slit experiment inPhysics. This involves the old contro-versy of wave versus particle. PhysicistRichard P. Feynmen and philosopherTom Bearden have very interestingthings to say on this. The two-slit ex-periment works for the so-called funda-mental particles of nature. I proposethat the force for life does not arisefrom these things. It is not evenReich’s orgone. A living thing has a lifebody, if the occultists like Steiner orChrist are to be believed. A suddendose of life energy causes drowsinessor drunkenness, as when Christ turnedthe water into wine. There is no two-slit experiment for life energy inphysics. Reich’s orgone, since it hadunusual effects in the atmosphere andhe claimed to run an electric motorfrom it, will show the two-slitphenomena.

Since Reich also influenced radioac-tive materials, here is additional proofthat this orgone had two opposingqualities rolled into one at the sametime. One has to understand Bearden’sfourth law of logic to get what I amsaying. So, we have the very feebleelectrical effects influencing a livingbody and now, if my theory is correct,we have a mechanism for it. What hasnot been investigated since Tesla’stime is the static field of electricity. Bythis I mean the capacitance. Teslawent to Colorado with his magnifyingtransmitter and a very large amount ofcapacitance and did his work.

I propose that behind the feebleelectromagnetic effects of a human is amassless charge body that does not ex-hibit two-slit phenomena. Tesla camevery close. Christ was closer. Further,this massless charge under the rightcircumstances rips apart our normalthree-dimensional frame and when thatis gone, the other dimensional forces—the ancients called them spirit, we cancall them virtual—appear. Life energycomes from here. To get hold of it wemust come to a new understanding ofelectricity and, moreover, come to anunderstanding of Bearden’s fourth lawof logic. This is a modification of Aris-totle’s logic which has influenced ourthinking to this day. We have the

nother nail has beendriven into the coffin of

the gradualist/uniformitarianschool of natural history.

Now Canadian scientistsare reporting in the journalScience that an ancient ‘su-perflood’ produced the cli-mate changes accompanyingthe end of the last ‘ice age’.The flood they say followedthe bursting of a massive glacier icedam.

A team led by University of BritishColumbia geophysicist Garry Clarke re-ports that the water body, known asLake Agassiz, reached a massive163,000 cubic kilometers in volume—atleast double that of the largest contem-porary lake, the Caspian Sea—and con-cludes that its release was “by far thelargest known glacial outburst of the

A past 100,000 years.” Thereport dates the event at

about 8,500 years ago.An analysis of Green-

land Ice cores reveals thatocean circulation in the

Northern hemisphere wasaltered for the next 200

years or so, dropping themean temperature 5°C.Snow accumulation de-

creased sharply and forest fires becamemore frequent.

Clarke’s team details how water inthe glacial lake, tunneled its way be-neath the ice dam, leading to its inevi-table disintegration.

The study provides further supportfor ideas put forward by Graham Han-cock in his recent book “Underworld.”Hancock explains how vast coastal re-gions which were above water 11,000

EARLY RAYS

years ago were inundated by catas-trophic floods just like those describedby the Canadian team. Such areas, Han-cock suggests. may contain the ruins ofcivilizations preceding those from re-corded history. When those regionshave been fully explored, the under-water evidence they provide could fi-nally reveal the true source of thou-sands of ancient flood accounts fromaround the world.

Recent discoveries in India’s Gulf ofCambay and in the Caribbean could ul-timately provide such artifacts, but ifnot them, there remain many otherpossibilities. The entire Persian Gulf,for example, was above water beforethe end of the “ice age” and may holdkeys to the origins of Sumer, currentlybelieved by conventional archaeologyto be the cradle of civilization.

lobal warming may be aserious matter, but that

does not mean we can do much aboutit. In a major challenge to conventionalwisdom and one certain to provokemuch controversy, a report publishedin August by the Geographic Society ofAmerica and described in Nature saysthe causes of Global warming are morecosmic than human.

Dr. Nir Shaviv, an astrophysicistfrom the Racah Institute of Physics ofthe Hebrew University of Jerusalem,and Prof. Jan Veiser, a geochemist atthe University of Ottawa in Canada andRuhr University in Germany, have care-fully studied the correlation between

ome of the secrets of Lake Vostokmay soon come to light whether

NASA likes it or not. Russian scientistsappear ready, despite stern warningsfrom American scientists, to resumedrilling the final 120 meters of nearly 4kilometers of Antarctic ice into the vastand unexplored lake. Their drilling pro-ject had been temporarily stopped inresponse to international anxieties.

In an article this past summer in thejournal Geophysical Research Letters,Chris McKay at NASA’s Ames ResearchCenter warns the Russian effort couldresult in a geyser rising thousands offeet into the air and loss of life to thedrillers. McKay believes high pressuregases accumulated in the lake cavitywould act in the same way as those in ashaken Coca Cola, only on a far greaterscale. McKay’s concerns are echoed byenvironmentalists who worry aboutcontaminating an ancient pristine site.

NASA’s motives, however, havebeen questioned in some quarters. Sus-picion arose early in 2001 and ragedacross the Internet when the agencyabruptly announced that it would dis-continue efforts to explore the lake. Ru-mors of national security issues swirledamid talk of secret bases, magneticanomalies, and ancient civilizations.

Lake Vostok is very large—as big as

cosmic ray flux—high-energy parti-

cles reaching Earthfrom stellar explo-sions—and climate

variations recordedby isotopes

trapped in rocksformed by ancientmarine fossils. The

study showed that over the past550 million years, peak periods ofcosmic ray activity have coincided withsignificant climate change. Greatercosmic ray inundation has resulted inincreased low level clouds, blockingsunlight and lowering temperatures.

In the view of Shaviv and Veiser,man-made greenhouse gasses, thoughcertainly not helpful, play only a minorrole in global warming, raising newquestions about the value of the Kyototreaty, which had been seen in someareas as a kind of panacea.

Continental Ice Sheet in EastAntarctica, approximately 1300 kilome-ters from the South Pole. Its outlinesare clearly visible in satellite imagery.Ice-penetrating radar indicates its wateris up to 2000 feet deep. It has an over-arching dome up to one-half mile inheight. Estimates of filtered light at thesurface indicate something like “contin-uous first-morning light” duringsummer months. Thermographic im-aging has suggested an amazing 50-degree Fahrenheit average water tem-perature, with “hot spots” approaching65 degrees—temperature levels attribut-able only to subsurface geothermalheat. At 300 miles long and 50 mileswide, the encapsulated atmosphereshould have the ability to cleanse itselfthrough interaction with the lake, andjust possibly plant life.

Perhaps even more mysterious is thediscovery of an extremely powerfulsource of magnetic energy at the northend. No formal explanation for thisanomaly has been made public, butRichard Hoagland believes it might bethe result of accumulated metals as inthe remains of a lost city.

Author Rand Flem-Ath and othershave argued for years, in these pagesand elsewhere, that beneath Antarc-tica’s ice may lie the ruins of Atlantis.



EARLY RAYS

ebunkers be damned,NASA is apparently

pressing ahead with antigravityexperiments. In August, thespace agency was set to test atheory which might somedaypermit the force of gravity tobe dialed up and down like thevolume on a radio.

According to Popular Me-chanics (popularme-chanics.com) a rare, closed-door conference at NASA’sLewis Research Center in Cleveland,Ohio found scientists representingmajor universities, national weapons la-boratories, defense contractors and thecorporate research and developmentcommunity gathered to hear a detailedaccount of the space agency’s progressin attempting to build a machine thatonce seemed beyond the bounds ofpossibility.

In a surprising departure from itslong-standing policy of openness, NASAdid not invite the press to the confer-ence. However, after interviews withattendees, the magazine was able to re-port that a group of researchers atNASA’s Marshall Manned Space FlightCenter in Huntsville, Alabama hasnearly completed building a device thatcould make it possible to reduce gravi-tational attractions in its immediate vi-cinity. Part of the reason for the se-

D

NASA—TOANTIGRAVITYAND BEYOND

crecy is that the very thought of such amachine defies conventional scientificwisdom.

NASA is believed to be investigatingthe work of Dr. Eugene Podkletnov atTampere University, Finland. Podk-letnov was able to demonstrate that ob-jects above a rapidly spinning and mag-netically levitated ceramic disk showeda measurable loss of weight. He had noexplanation.

Nevertheless, professional de-bunkers like Robert L. Park find eventhe suggestion that NASA would investi-gate anti-gravity to be outrageous. Onlearning of NASA’s continuing efforts tostudy anti-gravity, Park once describedit as “absurd.” It is worth rememberingthat similar remarks were made by ex-perts to the Wright Brothers prior toKitty Hawk.

THE USER’S GUIDE TO TELEKINESIS

Artist Tom Miller’s conception of an antigravity future

elekinesis, ac-cording to one

researcher, is notonly possible, itcan be reduced toa formula.

James Conradin Murdock,Florida, whoclaims to havespent the last 20years investigatingthe phenomenon,says that under theright conditions itis indeed possibleto move objectswith the mind.There are some re-quirements however.

It is essential, says Conrad, that

T there be plenty ofiron in the brain’sblood supply andthat the would-be

telekinetic have noexcess vitamin E in

his or her body.Moreover, he says,the person should

have plenty ofsleep and maintain

Russian psychic Nina Kulagina filmed in atelekenisis demonstration in 1977.

27-year-old college dropout PeterLynds from New Zealand is

shaking up the physics world. Eitherhe doesn’t understand the first thingabout time and motion—as his detrac-tors charge—or he is a rival to Einstein.Apparently the Foundations of PhysicsLetters and a growing group of sup-porters think he’s the latter. Their Au-gust issue included a paper by Lynds.

As Robert Roy Britt of Space.comexplains it, Lynds—who says he is noEinstein—is challenging the conven-tional assumption that time must beunderstood as a series of frozen mo-ments. “There isn’t a precise instantunderlying an object’s motion,” hesays, “And as its position is constantlychanging over time—and as such, neverdetermined—it also doesn’t have a de-termined position at any time.”

Zeno’s famous paradox—whichfinds the relative positions of “Achillesand the Tortoise” to be an insolublemystery—is no problem for Lynds.Zeno proposed that if the tortoise hada ten-meter head start Achilles couldnever win because when Achilles hasrun 10 meters, the tortoise will havemoved another meter and as Achillesgoes another meter the tortoise crawls10 more centimeters, and so forth intoinfinity with Achilles always behind. Inreality, of course, Achilles does win.The problem, says Lynds, is outdatedassumptions. He has more to say, ofcourse, but that alone is apparentlyenough to shake academic physics toits core and to arouse more than a littleenmity among some of the elite whohave been asked to evaluate his ideas.

Just as a child’s simple observationis said to have revealed the emperor’slack of clothing, Lynds seems to haveseen something no one else had seenor dared to say and, thus, to havelaunched something of a revolution.

COULD THE SOURCEOF ENGLAND’SMYSTERY BEATLANTIS?

tlantis Rising Video presents English Sacred Sites: The At-lantis Connection.

The new 40-minute VHS program pulls together powerful evi-dence linking Stonehenge, Avebury, Glastonbury and manyother English locations with an advanced ancient order now lostto history. Written and narrated by Atlantis Rising editor DougKenyon, the video is based primarily upon the discoveries ofCambridge-trained scholar and author John Michell. The pro-gram demonstrates how a mysterious network of perfectlystraight tracks, laid out for hundreds of miles across the Englishlandscape, proves the great advancement of pre-historic science.Michell’s deep insight into the origins of English culture illumi-nates a startling new vision of the roots of civilization.

Beautiful on-location footage interspersed with spectacular 3-D animation and a great original music score make English Sa-cred Sites, not only moving and persuasive, but entertaining aswell.

the verge of a wholenew meaning.

Japanese researcherssay they now knowhow to turn humanbodies into virtual bat-teries. The technique isbased on imitating theway the body takes en-ergy from food.

EARLY RAYS

xtreme thinking at the Pentagon isdrawing fire these days.

Despite a record of spectacular ac-complishment that includes the In-ternet, the global positioning system,stealth technology and the computermouse, many in the political establish-ment have begun to question whetheran obscure organization called the De-fense Advanced Research ProjectsAgency (DARPA) is worth the cost.

The issue appears to have beenbrought to a head by recent contro-versy surrounding an attempt to set upan online futures market based on ter-rorism. Called “FutureMAP” the idea

E“EXTREME THINKING” UNDER THE GUN

was to take advantage of the predictivepower of markets to forecast terroristactivity. It was soon realized, though,that an unintended consequence couldmake it possible for terrorists to controlthe market and actually profit fromtheir nefarious deeds. Termed a “sickidea” by Senator Barbara Boxer (D.Calif.), the plan has been vehementlycriticized by many on both sides of thepolitical aisle. The immediate outcomehas been the scuttling of the projectand the resignation of Admiral JohnPoindexter, its sponsor. Best known forhis conviction (later overturned) for in-volvement in the Iran-Contra affair,

Poindexter was the National SecurityAdviser to President Reagan.

Poindexter has also come under firefrom civil libertarians concerned abouthis plan to seek terrorists through theircommercial transaction activities.Called “Total Information Awareness,”the idea was to create a database whichwould store information about all trans-actions by everyone and then programcomputers to look for suspicious pat-terns—to “Connect the dots.” To critics,the potential for big-brother-style abuseseems to outweigh any gains to na-tional security. So far, though, that pro-ject remains alive though its name hasbeen changed to “Terrorism Informa-tion Awareness.”

According to reporter Charles Pillerof the Los Angeles Times (http://publicbroadcasting.net/wnyc/news.newsmain?action=article&ARTICLE_ID=533827) DARPA explored telep-athy and psychokinesis for military pur-poses in the 1970s but later abandonedthe effort when it was determined thateven if the capabilities were real theycould not be used on demand.

Recent projects have included ef-forts to create a brain machine inter-face which would allow soldiers’thoughts to be turned into actions by amachine.

The agency’s official history pointsto its ability to think outside the box asthe source of ideas whose benefit to so-ciety has far outweighed the cost, butdetractors argue that the darker possi-bilities are what we should be thinkingabout.

f you thought that the saga of cold fusionwas bizarre, with its mother-lode of unex-

pected findings—from nuclear-scale excess heatto the rebirth of alchemy in low-energy nucleartransmutation, discoveries alternately perse-cuted or ignored by the scientific establish-ment—the cold fusion adventure doesn’t hold anuclear candle to the story of Joseph Papp andhis noble gas engine. The Papp Engine sagaseems to have had its roots in the 1950s, but itonly came into public view in 1968.

One of the best overviews of the Papp storyappeared in California’s San Jose Mercurynewspaper on August 27, 1989. In fact, wehave reprinted David Ansley’s exemplary ac-count in the latest issue of Infinite Energy (No.51, September/October 2003). The article wastriggered by the cold fusion announcement from Utah onMarch 23, 1989, but the Papp saga has progressed far be-yond those days, hence Infinite Energy has devoted a sub-stantial portion of its latest issue just to begin to recount thetale of the Papp Engine as it has never been done before. Ihave been aware of claims about the Papp Engine sinceabout 1992, but it has only been within the past three yearsthat sufficient information has emerged to change my viewfrom curious onlooker to acceptance of the engine’s validity.

The basic “problem” with Cold Fusion is, of course, thatwater in contact with metals with a bit of low voltage elec-trical excitation is not supposed to make nuclear reactionsand release huge thermal excess energy per atom of pre-sumed reactant. The problem with Papp’s Noble Gas Engineis that the noble gases employed—argon, helium, krypton,neon, and xenon—are essentially non-reactive chemical ele-ments; that’s why they are called noble. How can such gases,“pre-treated” or otherwise, explode with unusual violenceand drive a reciprocating single-cycle engine—a retrofit de-vice from an ordinary gasoline engine (lubricated with oil tobe sure), but one with no cooling system, no fuel system,and no exhaust? On its face, Papp’s Engine appears incon-ceivable—until the evidence is weighed very carefully. Oncethe battery-driven electric starter revved up the Papp Engine(according to dozens of initially skeptical witnesses), the en-gine—equipped with an alternator—ran with no outside elec-trical input. And, even if such “miracle” reactions of noblegases should produce interminable explosions from a tinyvolume of gas, pushing pistons and driving a large flywheel,why didn’t such an engine run very hot? It didn’t. Whatabout the supposed need for a much lower temperature res-ervoir to make this “heat” engine work at all? If the Engine isa monumental “fraud,” it was a very, very challenging one totry to pull off.

haps he may have made paper or microfiche copies of docu-ments relating to some sensitive R&D projects in Hungaryand he took them with him to the New World? That’s onlyeducated speculation. Otherwise, if his independently devel-oped ideas really worked, as they seem to have, he was ei-ther extremely lucky in finding a hidden secret of Nature, orhe was an unfathomable genius. He did not seem like thelatter. From all accounts, he was an extremely paranoid, veryunstable, selfish, and unpredictable man, who was probablyone of his own worst enemies. There is little evidence thathe understood the physics of what he had, but however theprocess was developed—it seemed to have worked in a waythat seems “too good to be true”—an almost fully formednew energy technology that came very close to comingunder the wings of some of the world’s largest technology

corporations.Papp is now dead—cancer took him on April

13, 1989, three weeks after Fleischmann andPons announced cold fusion. He left behind oneof the most tantalizing legacies in the history offree energy: There exists nearly rock-solid evi-dence now that Papp really had managed tobuild a robust engine of over 100 horsepower(75 kilowatts) that was “fueled” by a mixture ofwe believe “pre-treated” noble gases (probablymixed with some air). Though it had no exhaustand no cooling system, it had huge torque evenat low RPM (776 foot-pounds at only 726 rpm,the result of one certified test). Dozens of aston-ished engineers, scientists, and investors—evena Federal judge with an engineering backgroundwas blown away by it—have seen the engineworking in closed rooms for hours, which

would have killed its occupants with toxic gases had it beena hydrocarbon-fuel engine. There was absolutely no exhaust,no visible provision for any exhaust! The engine ran cool—only about 140°F on its surface, it has been reported by sev-eral reliable observers. All these people, who had years to tryto debunk it, became convinced of the engine’s reality. Theyall failed to discover a hoax.

But here is the ultimate triumph of the Papp Engine:Today, on-going research in the United States—totally inde-pendent of Papp and his former financial interests—hasproved conclusively that noble gases, electrically triggered invarious ways, can indeed explode with fantastic violence andenergy release—melting metal parts and pushing pistons withlarge pressure pulses. Some of the people performing thiswork, or who have evaluated it, are from the cold fusionfield, others are experienced plasma physicists. Some willallow their names to be revealed, while others in senior posi-tions at major research institutions must remain anonymousfor now. I am confident, however, that these scientists willeventually “go public.” They should, when circumstancespermit.

Apart from the intense contemporary work to resurrectthe Papp Engine in its full cycling functionality and the inde-pendent certification test in 1983, what other proof is therethat Papp’s Engine was for real? Sad to say, this evidence isthe death of one person and the severe injury of three othersat a public demonstration of the engine on November 18,1968 in Gardena, California. At that event, the engine ex-ploded with an evident energy release that no internal com-bustion engine could touch.

Beyond Stones and Bones: SirAlfred Russell Wallace and the Spirit World

arlier this year, on an April afternoon, I walked into the Darwin Museumin Moscow to give a lecture against the Darwinian theory of human evo-lution. The lecture was attended by museum staff, scientists from

Moscow universities, and members of the general public. As I spoke, I couldsee on the wall opposite me two large vertical portrait paintings, one ofCharles Darwin and the other of Sir Alfred Russell Wallace, who was, withDarwin, the cofounder of the theory of evolution by natural selection.

Darwin had been working fortwenty years on his book Origin ofSpecies, but could never seem tofinish it. One day he received aletter from Alfred Russell Wallace. Inan enclosed paper, soon to besubmitted to one of London’s sci-entific societies, Wallace outlinedthe theory of evolution by naturalselection. Darwin was troubled. Bythe rules of scientific etiquette, thetheory of evolution by natural se-lection should be credited to Wal-lace—because Wallace would bethe first to publicly present it.Darwin consulted his elite scientificfriends, who said he should ask Wal-lace to allow him to submit an evo-lution paper of his own at the sametime. Wallace agreed, and for along time the theory of evolutionwas known as the Wallace-Darwintheory.

Later Wallace and Darwin hada falling out over Wallace’s research into the paranormal. After reading oneof Wallace’s papers, in which he attributed the development of the humanbrain to a guiding spiritual intelligence, Darwin wrote him a letter (March 27,1869), saying, “I differ grievously from you … I hope you have not murderedtoo completely your own and my child [the theory of evolution by naturalselection].”

Wallace did not kill the young theory of evolution, but he did lay thefoundations for alternative explanations for human origins. My own alterna-tive explanation, which can be found in my latest book, Human Devolution:A Vedic Alternative to Darwin’s Theory, owes quite a bit to Wallace’sresearch.

When I spoke at the Darwin Museum in April, I simply presented the ar-chaeological evidence for extreme human antiquity documented in my

earlier book Forbidden Archaeology. For ex-ample, I outlined the evidence from the Cali-fornia gold mines. These discoveries of humanbones and artifacts, from deposits now regardedas Eocene, over 33 million years old, were pub-lished by geologist J. D. Whitney of Harvard Uni-

versity in 1880. Wallace accepted Whitney’s evidence. In anarticle in Nineteenth Century (1887, vol. 22, p. 667), Wallace

noted that such evidence tended to be “attacked with all theweapons of doubt, accusation, and ridicule.” Wallace suggested that

“the proper way to treat evidence as to man’s antiquity is to place it onrecord, and admit it provisionally wherever it would be held adequate inthe case of other animals; not, as is too often now the case, to ignore it asunworthy of acceptance or subject its discoverers to indiscriminate accusa-tions of being impostors or the victims of impostors.”

The archaeological evidence for extreme human antiquity acceptedby me and Wallace shows that we need a new explanation for human ori-gins. But this evidence does not itself provide that new explanation. For that,we have to go beyond stones and bones.

In my book Human Devolu-tion, I propose that before weask the question “From wheredid human beings come?” weshould first of all ask the ques-tion “What is a human being?”Today, most scientists believethat a human being is simply acombination of the ordinarymaterial elements. But if wedare to look at all the evi-dence accumulated by scien-tists, we find that the humanorganism also includes moresubtle vital and conscious ele-ments.. Some of the best evi-dence for this was providedby Wallace.

Wallace, along with otherBritish scientists, such as Sir Wil-liam Crookes, a Nobel lau-reate in physics, conductedextensive experiments into theparanormal. From these exper-iments, Wallace concludedthat the universe is populatedwith spirit beings. Some of theminor spirit beings, he pro-posed, are in contact with thehuman population on earth.According to Wallace, theminor spirit beings, acting through human mediums, were responsible for avariety of paranormal phenomena, including clairvoyance, miraculoushealings, communications from the dead, apparitions, materializations ofphysical objects, levitations, etc. More powerful spirit beings may haveplayed a role in the origin of species.

In this regard, examples of paranormal production of biological formsare important. A particularly striking case was reported by Wallace, who,accompanied by others, saw a clergyman medium named Monk producea complete human form. In his autobiography (1905 v. 2, p. 330), Wallacedescribed the event, which took place in an apartment in the Bloomsburydistrict of London: “Everything happened in the full light of day. After a littleconversation, Monk . . . appeared to go into a trance; then stood up a fewfeet in front of us, and after a little while pointed to his side, saying, ‘Look.’We saw there a faint white patch on his coat on the left side. This grewbrighter, then seemed to flicker, and extend both upwards and downwards,till very gradually it formed a cloudy pillar extending from his shoulder to hisfeet and close to his body. . . . but appearing joined to him by a cloudy

He and the figure then moved away from eachother till they were about five or six feet apart. The figure had now assumedthe appearance of a thickly draped female form, with arms and hands justvisible. Monk looked towards it and again said to us ‘Look,’ and thenclapped his hands, on which the figure put out her hands, clapped them ashe had done, and we all distinctly heard her clap following his, but fainter.The figure then moved slowly back to him, grew fainter and shorter, andwas apparently absorbed into his body.”

Wallace wrote in his autobiog-raphy (1905 v. 2, pp. 349–50): “Themajority of people to-day havebeen brought up in the belief thatmiracles, ghosts, and the whole se-ries of strange phenomena here de-scribed cannot exist; that they arecontrary to the laws of nature; thatthey are the superstitions of a by-gone age; and that therefore theyare necessarily either impostures ordelusions. There is no place in thefabric of their thought into whichsuch facts can be fitted. When I firstbegan this inquiry it was the samewith myself. The facts did not fit intomy then existing fabric of thought.All my preconceptions, all my knowl-edge, all my belief in the supremacyof science and of natural law wereagainst the possibility of such phe-nomena. And even when, one byone, the facts were forced upon mewithout possibility of escape fromthem, still, as Sir David Brewster de-clared after being at first astonishedby the phenomena he saw with [themedium] Mr. Home, ‘spirit was thelast thing I could give in to.’ Everyother possible solution was tried andrejected. . . . We ask our readers notfor belief, but for doubt of their owninfallibility on this question; we ask forinquiry and patient experiment be-fore hastily concluding that we are,all of us, mere dupes and idiots as re-gards a subject to which we havedevoted our best mental facultiesand powers of observation for manyyears.” For Wallace, all this had impli-

cations for human origins. In his book Contributions to a Theory of Natural Se-lection (1870, p. 359), Wallace concluded that “a superior intelligence hasguided the development of man in a definite direction, and for a specialpurpose, just as man guides the development of many animal and vege-table forms.”

My own views, inspired by the ancient Sanskrit writings of India, differsomewhat from those of Wallace, but share a family resemblance. For ex-ample, I share with him the ideas that there is more to a human being thanatoms, and that the cosmos is inhabited by a hierarchy of spirit beings, whoplay a role in the origin, history, and future of the human species. InMoscow, during my talk at the Darwin Museum, looking at the paintings ofWallace and Darwin, I certainly felt a closer bond with Wallace.

TheSUPERVOLCANO

THREAT

e live on a planetseething with volcanicactivity, and we nowknow that we alsohave supervolcanoes to

deal with, such as the barely containedmegamenace underneath virtually thewhole of Yellowstone Park in theUnited States. (See the DiscoveryChannel’s “Supervolcanoes” TV pro-gram for full details.) Its growingmagma chamber has domed up thefloor of Yellowstone Lake and has re-sulted in the U.S. government’s em-placement of a special seismographicnetwork in the Norris Geyser Basin ofthe park.

According to quake and volcano re-searcher Larry Park (www.thetop.com/terraresearch) on George Noory’s radioshow “Coast To Coast A.M.,”(www.coasttocoastam.com) August25, 2003, if the Yellowstone supervol-cano goes, it would be a “continentalbomb” which would lay waste toeverything (cover all in volcanic ash) ina 600 statute mile radius around thepark and would have huge impact onglobal climate.

Larry Park has written a series of ar-ticles on emerging volcanic trends anddangers and has posted them towww.yowusa.com. The gist of his writ-ings, though, is that the continentalU.S. volcanoes are a) waking up and be-coming active; b) have previously un-suspected horizontal “plumbing” inter-connecting them, allowing for all sortsof events not foreseeable under currentgeological theory, and c) the crustal lidover the Yellowstone supervolcano, asa result of rock softening caused bymechanisms unknown to current sci-ence (scalar softening, particulars inhis articles), may fail with almost nowarning, unleashing a cataclysm. Hediscovered these things through tenyears of on-site measurements usingcutting-edge equipment of his own de-sign, equipment which measures phe-nomena to which the U.S. GeologicalSurvey’s equipment is blind. Technicaldetails are at his site and particularly inhis book Forbidden Secrets of theEarthquake Revealed (sample chapteravailable online at his site by clickingbook image).

and who is surprised there hasn’t al-ready been at least one continentaleruption. The indicators have beenthere, in plenty, and this includes thesite of the other known supervolcano,Long Valley, near Mammoth, Cali-fornia, where there’s been far moreseismicity than has been seen in andaround Yellowstone.

Larry Park believes that the recentmagnitude 4.4 quake near YellowstonePark, far from being a routine geolog-ical event, may in fact be an indicatorthat the supervolcano is becoming dan-gerously unstable. On George Noory’sshow he said that the critical observa-tion period would be the next 1.5-2months and called for intense moni-toring by the government and otherscientists, as well as alerting the publicto the very real dangers involved andinstructing it in a range of protectiveand preparatory measures to be em-ployed should a supereruption appearimminent or occur.

Strange ClimesVolcanic eruptions seem to have

multiple climatic impacts, some ofwhich are wholly contradictory. Pina-tubo’s eruption singlehandedlydropped the global temperature by afraction of a degree Centigrade,throwing the whole global warmingscenario into some doubt, but similarphenomenology has occurred in thecase of other eruptions as well, notablyTambora in 1815, which put some 10-15 times as much atmosphere coolingsulphur dioxide into play as did the

Pinatubo eruption. An even more ex-treme case is the eruption of Tobasome 73,000 years ago. Scientists thinkthat eruption may well have acceler-ated the arrival of the Ice Age.

These concepts may be new tosome readers, but even BenjaminFranklin, writing in 1784, had a goodhandle on the climate feedback mecha-nism resulting from an Icelandic vol-cano eruption in 1783, which gener-ated a “dry fog” which so dispersed thesun’s rays that even when focusedthrough a magnifying glass “theywould scarce kindle brown paper.” Dr.James Hansen (of NASA’s Goddard In-stitute for Space Studies) is the sourcefor this fascinating information in hisonline Research piece “Pinatubo Cli-mate Investigation” (www.giss.nasa.gov/research/intro/hansen_02/) wherehe goes on to note that Franklin cor-rectly associates the Icelandic volcaniceruption aerosols with the bitterwinter of 1784 and even goes into theglobal impact of all that increasedsnow cover. Where’s the contradic-tion?

Other scientists have built a strongcase that large scale volcanism and itsconsequent heating may have been re-sponsible for a huge extinction eventwhich took place at the boundary be-tween the Triassic and Jurassic periods.Essentially, a whole region of volca-noes called the Siberian Traps in Si-beria, Russia roared to life, pouredforth sheets of basalt, and raised thetemperature of the Earth enough so

EDITOR’S NOTE: In issue #30 ofAtlantis Rising, archaeologist WilliamDonato reported on the ongoing Car-ibbean research over the last thirtyyears in support of the notion that theremains of a forgotten civilizationcan be detected in the region. Recentdiscoveries from Cuba and elsewherehave stimulated conjecture that EdgarCayce’s famous prophecy that Atlantismight be expected to surface in the re-gion could be nearing fulfillment.Now in 2003 the recent discovery bythe husband-and-wife diving team ofGreg and Lora Little, of a giant stoneplatform near Andros Island in theBahamas, has added new fuel to thefire (see Atlantis Rising #40). The Lit-tles were following up on anomaliesfirst spotted in the 1960s by Dr.Manson Valentine. Discovery of theBimini “J Road” site by Valentine in1967 caused a sensation, only to bedismissed by a skeptical establishmentas ordinary “beach rock.” Subsequentresearch has clearly ruled out thebeach rock theory, but, unfortunately,the public has never been sufficientlyinformed on the matter. The publichas also NOT been properly informedthat the J-road was only one of manyanomalous sites observed in the area.Most such features have yet to beproperly investigated, but there havebeen recent efforts, aside from theGreg and Lora Little investigation, tochange that situation. ■ BY WILLIAM DONATO

This past summer William Donatoaccompanied by investigative technol-ogist Jonathan Eagle, as well as Donand Sally Tondro, set out to take acloser look as several such features.First on their list was “The Pentagon”near South Cat Cay a spot previouslydiscussed and photographed from theair by several researchers includingManson Valentine and the A.R.E.’s Dr.Doug Richards. No one had looked atit from sea level. The “Rectangle” nearEast Bimini had been noticed by Di-mitri Rebikoff, Jim Richardson andValentine. Dr. David Zink used a typeof suction dredge, going down 7 to 9feet which he mentioned in his book“The Stones of Atlantis,” but foundnothing.

Donato and his colleagues set outto establish accurate G.P.S co-ordinates for these sites, and to inves-tigate and document with videostrange 1,600-foot parallel lines whichcan be seen in satellite images east ofEast Bimini. They also wanted togather ocean bottom data west of Bi-mini, to look closely at the “circles”south of South Bimini, and to furtherinvestigate the “J Road”.

The exploration was meagerlyfunded by A.P.E.X., a non-profit insti-tute.

Wehad passed near Cat Cay when Colemanspotted a dark area in the distance andwe soon realized we had found the“Pentagon!” I knew Jonathan would begratified that his co-ordinates hadchecked out. I told Coleman to circleand get G.P.S. co-ordinates. He alsoflew directly over the spot. I noticed an-other, slightly larger feature to the eastand asked him to fly there. It seemed tohave a generally “hexagonal” configura-tion defined by marine growth. Thereappeared to be about three surface ves-sels nearby. The vegetation was thickerhere than on the Pentagon. [We wereto learn later that the Pentagon was de-fined by sea grass.] We also circled the“Hexagon” and took several sets ofG.P.S. co-ordinates. Later, at the Biminiairport, Coleman handed over the co-ordinates we had fixed. Before leaving,I told him where to look for the East Bi-mini zoomorphic effigy mounds. [Later

When I arrived in North Bimini, Jon-athan was waiting at the docks. We dis-cussed our plans for the next day.Though we had intended to investigatethe “Pentagon” first, we opted to do iton Friday instead as we needed thebest high tides for the “Rectangle” and“Parallel Lines.”

Tuesday, July 15, 2003We headed our boat out around

South Bimini and then up and in. Afterdropping anchor Jonathan and I

headed out in the dinghy (a BostonWhaler type). He was following direc-tions on a hand-held unit. I told Jona-than we seemed to be heading in theopposite direction from where weshould be going. He did a 180 and wesoon came upon the “L-shaped” outeredge of the “Rectangle,” which waswell defined by sea grass.

Our goal had been to determinewhether conventional tools wouldwork or whether sub-bottom profilingwould be necessary to find any pos-sible stones beneath the feature. Oneof the first things taught in introduc-tory archaeology is that vegetation pat-

terns can help pointout potential sites.

The large and precisegeometric patterns

which have been dis-covered in the Ba-

hamas must begrowing in those

shapes because some-thing local is dif-

ferent—a differentthermal gradient, dif-ferent chemistry, or

different electromag-netic (or other) fields.

These are not “CropCircles”: they havepersisted here for a

long time.In 1974 I took a picture of the “Rec-

tangle” from the air and would bet ithad been there for centuries. I think anunderlying stone foundation is themost plausible explanation. The com-pacted sand also lends itself to thetheory that there could be stone (orother) foundations at some unknowndepth. Those formations, over time,could have collected various organismsand sand, subsequently anchored byvegetation, which continued until wehave what we see today.

Unfortunately our conventional in-vestigative techniques won’t do the joband we will have to resort to other pen-etration technologies. Our preferencewould be sub-bottom profiling becauseit will not do any physical damage.Under ideal conditions it can penetrateup to 55 feet into the ocean floor andprovide conclusive proof whetherstone is present. If stone is found at 10to 12 feet or more it will date to the10,000 B.C, period, which would beperfect from our standpoint.

Another possible theory is thatsomething which is no longer there iscreating these “ghost patterns.” If so,the situation would be even more con-fusing. At this point the stone (orother) foundation theory seems to be

JJordan Maxwell Doesn’t Need an Academic Work Permit to Make His Point

ordan Maxwell has apassion for words andloves to talk. But notabout basketball orbeer. Those “B words”epitomize what to

him is all too common—people living just to get by,watching the boob tube, ac-cepting the status quo andnot questioning authority.

The self-described revolu-tionary, radical intellectualclaims he doesn’t want to betold anything by anybody.He’s spent over 50 years“doing my own homework”and delving into the hiddenmeanings of words, symbols,emblems, national coats ofarms, seals and corporatelogos, both historical andcurrent.

Growing up in Pensacola,Florida near the naval air sta-tion and the Alabama stateline (more than 40 yearsafter his departure there isstill the hint of a Southernaccent in his punctuatedspeech), Maxwell was just abridge away from “UFOHeadquarters” in GulfBreeze. “By the age of eight Iwas having all kinds ofother-worldly experiences,”he recalls. Interestingly, thatwas also the time hisyounger brother, fromwhom he has been es-tranged for years, was born.Maxwell’s great grandfather was U.S.Senator Francis Carroll, a member ofthe famous Jesuit family instrumentalin founding Washington, D.C. Two un-cles were Federal Judges and another aCatholic priest. “So I grew up with afeeling that there was ‘real action’ un-derneath the everyday world and Iwanted to know what the real storywas,” he says. “I realized this at a veryearly age and have pursued truth andwisdom ever since.”

Deliberately shunning formal educa-tion (“I hated school; I did terrible inschool,” he says emphatically), thefiercely independent research scholarthinks colleges are instruments of theRoman Catholic Church. “The word‘college’ comes from the Latin ‘col-

I care nothing for the Vatican;I don’t consider the Pope the Holy Fa-ther. I have no respect for either and Iconsider the Vatican an extremely dan-gerous force in world affairs. I have norespect for the Jesuits or for any of thestuff that I grew up knowing about. Col-leges and universities are based on Mari-time Admiralty Law, which is based onCanon Law out of the Vatican.”

Having to breathe between sen-tences seems to be something Maxwelldeems a necessary annoyance, an ob-stacle in his continuing monologue. Heis adamant in denying the value of spon-sored accreditation. “I don’t have any

credentials. I don’t want any.I just do what I do. In aca-demia you end up with a‘work permit’ and agree tobehave a certain way in so-ciety. I don’t need a workpermit; I just do what I do.Nikola Tesla didn’t have tohave a degree to be NikolaTesla—I have a name all overthe world. I’ve done my ownhomework; I’ve lived most ofmy life in libraries and oldbookstores talking withleading writers, lecturers andteachers from all over theworld and I’ve concludedthat independent scholarsand researchers are thebrains of the world.” Whilehe’s certainly confident, he’salso realistically modest. “Iwant to be known as an ordi-nary man pursuing extraordi-nary knowledge. I’m not pre-senting myself as an experton anything. I realized longago how much I don’tknow.”

Admittedly out of shape,Maxwell simply has no in-terest in things corporeal. Hedoesn’t care what he eats andignores pleas from friends toget some exercise. “I don’tthink we’re here to go to thegym,” he says. “In the end,even the fittest of us is goingto die.” In the meantime, hepumps as much energy as hecan into each day, appre-

ciating the intellectual and spiritual di-mensions of life as heartily as any he-donist might. And he greatly enjoys notonly surreal and cerebral experiences,but the many professional entertainershe is privileged to know as well.

With the late Steve Allen, Maxwellco-authored The Book the ChurchDoes Not Want You to Read. Otherbooks by Maxwell include Matrix ofPower: How the World Has Been Con-trolled by Powerful People WithoutYour Knowledge; That Old Time Re-ligion (co-authored with publisher PaulTice and Dr. Alan Snow); and JordanMaxwell on Religion and Politics.

Aside from Steve Allen, Maxwellcontinues to have many show businessconnections; “I’ve been working be-

This, such as it is, amounts to ourmost credible Fulcanelli sighting. Assuch, it sums up the entire problemposed by the question: Who was Fulca-nelli? Beyond this ambiguous en-counter, he exists as words on a pageand, in some occult circles, as a mythicalchemical immortal with the status, oridentity, of a St. Germain. There weretwo things that everyone agreed uponconcerning Fulcanelli—he was defi-nitely a mind to be reckoned with, andhe was a true enigma.

We are left then with the mystery ofthe missing master alchemist. He is aman who does not seem to exist, andyet he is re-created constantly in theimagination of every seeker—a perfectfoil for projection. We might eventhink it was all a joke, some kind ofelaborate hoax, except for the materialitself. When one turns to Le Mystère,one finds a witty intelligence thatseems quite sure of the nature and im-portance of his information. This “Ful-canelli” knows something and is tryingto communicate his knowledge; of thisthere can be no doubt.

Fulcanelli’s message, that there is asecret in the cathedrals, and that thissecret was placed there by a group of

HIDDEN HISTORY

n 1926, a mysterious volume is-sued in a luxury edition of threehundred copies by a small Parispublishing firm known mostlyfor artistic reprints rocked the

Parisian occult underworld. Its titlewas Le Mystère des Cathédrales (TheMystery of the Cathedrals). The au-thor, “Fulcanelli,” claimed that thegreat secret of alchemy, the queen ofWestern occult sciences, was plainlydisplayed on the walls of Paris’s owncathedral, Notre-Dame-de-Paris.

Alchemy, by our post-modern lightsa quaint and discredited Renaissancepseudo-science, was in the process ofbeing reclaimed and reconditioned in1926 by two of the most influentialmovements of the century. Surrealismand psychology stumbled onto al-chemy at about the same time, andeach attached their own notions of itsmeaning to the ancient science. CarlJung spent the twenties teasing out atheory of the archetypal unconsciousfrom the symbolic tapestry of alchem-ical images and studying how thesesymbols are expressed in the dreamstate. The poet-philosopher AndréBreton and the surrealists made an in-tuitive leap of faith and proclaimed that

I the alchemical process could be ex-pressed artistically. Breton, in his 1924Surrealist Manifesto, announced thatsurrealism was nothing but alchemicalart.

Fulcanelli’s book would have an in-direct effect on both of these intellec-tual movements. Indirect, because thebook managed a major literary mir-acle—it became influential while re-maining, apparently, completely un-known outside of French occult andalchemical circles. This is perhaps thestrangest of all the mysteries sur-rounding The Mystery of the Cathe-drals.

In the fall of 1925, publisher JeanSchémit received a visit from a smallman dressed as a pre-war bohemian,with a long Asterix-the-Gaul-style mus-tache. The man wanted to talk aboutGothic architecture, the “green argot”of its sculptural symbols, and howslang was a kind of punning code,which he called the “language of thebirds.” A few weeks later, Schémit wasintroduced to him again as Jean-JulienChampagne, the illustrator of a pro-posed book by a mysterious alchemistcalled Fulcanelli. Schémit thought thatall three, the visitor, the author, andthe illustrator, were the same man. Per-haps they were.

FULCANELLI

initiates—of which Fulcanelli is obvi-ously one—depends upon an abun-dance of imagery and association thatoverpowers the intellect, lulling oneinto an intuitive state of acceptance.Fulcanelli is undoubtedly brilliant, butwe are left wondering if his is the bril-liance of revelation or dissimulation.

The basic premise of the book—thatGothic cathedrals are Hermetic booksin stone—was an idea that made it intoprint in the nineteenth-century in thework of Victor Hugo. In The Hunch-back of Notre Dame, Hugo spends awhole chapter (chapter 2 of book 5)on the idea that architecture is thegreat book of humanity, and that theinvention of printing and the prolifera-tion of mundane books spelled the endof the sacred book of architecture. Hereports that the Gothic era was the sa-cred architect’s greatest achievement,that the cathedrals were expressions ofliberty and the emergence of a newsense of freedom. “This freedom goesto great lengths,” Hugo informs us.“Occasionally a portal, a facade, an en-tire church is presented in a symbolicsense entirely foreign to its creed, andeven hostile to the church. In the thir-teenth century, Guillaume of Paris, inthe fifteenth Nicholas Flamel; both areguilty of these seditious pages.”

Essentially, Le Mystère is an in-depthexamination of those “seditious pages”in stone. Fulcanelli elaborates on thesymbolism of certain images found onthe walls and porches of architect Guil-laume of Paris’s masterpiece, NotreDame Cathedral, and its close contem-porary, Notre Dame of Amiens. To thishe adds images from two houses builtin the Gothic style from fifteenth-century Bourges. This guided tour ofHermetic symbolism is densely ob-scure, filled with “green language”puns and numerous allusions. To thecasual reader, and even the dedicatedstudent, this tangled web of scholar-ship is daunting.

However, to the occult savants ofParis in the late 1920s, Fulcanelli’sbook was almost intoxicating. Here, fi-nally, was the word of a man whoknew, the voice of the last true initiate.His student, Eugène Canseliet, informsus in the preface to the first edition ofLe Mystère that Fulcanelli had accom-plished the Great Work and then disap-peared from the world. “For a longtime now the author of this book hasnot been among us,” Canseliet wrote,and he was lamented by a group of“unknown brothers who hoped to ob-tain from him the solution to the mys-terious Verbum dimissum (missing

word). Mystification about the true identity

of the alchemist obscured the fact thatcredible people had seen his visitingcard, emblazoned with an aristocraticsignature. It was possible to encounterpeople at the Chat Noir nightclub inParis who claimed to have met Fulca-nelli right through World War II. Be-tween 1926 and 1929, his legend grew,fueled by café gossip and a few articlesand reviews in obscure Parisian occultjournals. Canseliet contributed more in-formation: the master had indeed ac-complished transmutation, Fulcanellihadn’t really disappeared, anotherbook or two was planned, and so on.

After the war, Fulcanelli’s legend,and Canseliet’s career, profited from anupsurge of interest in all things meta-physical. By the mid 1950s, conditionswere right to reprint both Le Mystèredes Cathédrales and Dwellings of thePhilosphers. Simply by having been themysterious Fulcanelli’s student, Canse-liet had become the grand old man ofFrench alchemy and esotericism. Butthe fifties were not the twenties, andmany things had changed. One ofthose things was the text of Le Mystèreitself.

The Fulcanelli affair would be of in-terest only to specialists of occult his-tory and abnormal psychology, exceptfor the singular mystery of the extrachapter added to the 1957 edition ofLe Mystère. This second edition in-cluded a new chapter entitled “The Cy-clic Cross of Hendaye” and a fewchanges in its illustrations. No mentionof these changes appeared in Canse-liet’s preface to the second edition.

With Canseliet’s use of everythingelse by Fulcanelli, how are we to ac-count for the complete absence of ref-

his year marks the Centennialof the Wardenclyffe Tower, amonument to Nikola Tesla’s vi-sionary genius. The father of ACelectricity, Tesla was responsible

for recognizing that an atmospheric and aterrestrial storage battery already existseverywhere on earth, for the benefit ofmankind. A century later, however, onlya handful of visionary scientists haverecognized what some believe is the un-tapped renewable reservoir of literallyterawatts of electrical power that sitdormant above us, waiting to be uti-lized.

In 2001, the Bush-mandated Na-tional Transmission Grid Study(NTGS 2001) was designed to iden-tify the major transmission bottle-necks across the U.S. and identifytechnical and economic issues re-sulting from these transmissionconstraints. The great powerblackout of the past summer hasmade the problems of thesystem apparent to all.

With deregulation of ournation’s utilities and the lackof jurisdiction for the FederalEnergy Regulatory Commis-sion (FERC), the U.S. isfighting an electrical en-ergy crisis, whichright now, costsconsumers hun-dreds of millionsof dollars annuallydue to interre-gional transmis-sion congestion.There is no longerany economic in-centive nor anyFERC eminent domain for states toprovide rights-of-way, besides the lackof Federal compensation to utilities tobuild new transmission lines.

Historically, the creation of elec-trical utilities was beset with scandal,such as the six years of congressionalhearings starting in 1928 in which“thousands of pages of testimony re-vealed a systematic, covert attempt toshape opinion in favor of private utili-

sored by the U.S. Energy Association (12/01), only the depressing news about unre-solved US electricity headaches were dis-cussed. Editor of Energy Daily, Llewelyn

King finally concluded, “We are usingnineteenth century technology for elec-trical transmission.” He then called for

a paradigm shift toward new tech-nology and cited the “monster infra-

structure problems” within the U.S. ascompared to the developing coun-tries. A year later (June, 2003), and

before the August blackout, the U.S.DOE held an emergency meetingwith utility heads as a natural gas

crisis looms from the lack of diver-sification of new electrical powergeneration facilities. “Innovation

in new technology and renew-able sources are needed in thelong term to improve the envi-

ronment and meet rising de-mand,” summarized an Inves-

tors Business Daily editorabout the crisis.

In November, 2002, theAmerican Council for theUnited Nations Universitycalled for wireless energy

transmission to circum-vent the need for trans-

mission lines as partof their “Millen-

(NSF), NASA, andthe Electrical

the beaming of microwave energy andthe creation of a world energy organi-zation was seen to actively address the2020 challenges to global electricitysupply, especially in areas of massiveurban concentrations.

before discharging it as a pulse of elec-trical energy, a “longitudinal” acous-tic-type of compression wave, ratherthan an electromagnetic Hertzian-typeof transverse wave. It was, therefore,more akin to electrostatic dischargethan wave mechanics.

Tesla also planned to include a sta-tionary resonant wave creation glo-bally, within the earth-ionospherecavity, as part of the wireless transmis-sion of power. Examining the pair of1900 patents #645,576 and #649,621each using the same illustration on thefirst page, we find in the first patentthat Tesla has designed a quarter-waveantenna (50 miles of secondary coilwire for a 200-mile-long wavelength).More important is the sphere on thetop which is supposed to be a conduc-tive surface on a balloon raised highenough to be radiating in “rarefied air.”

As Tesla states,“That communica-tion without wires to any point of theglobe is practical with such apparatuswould need no demonstration, butthrough a discovery which I made I ob-tained absolute certainty. Popularly ex-plained it is exactly this: When weraise the voice and hear an echo inreply, we know that the sound of thevoice must have reached a distant wall,or boundary, and must have been re-flected from the same. Exactly as thesound, so an electrical wave is re-

flected, and the same evidence whichis afforded by an echo is offered by anelectrical phenomena known as a ‘sta-tionary’ wave—that is, a wave withfixed nodal and ventral regions. Insteadof sending sound vibrations toward adistant wall, I have sent electrical vibra-tions toward the remote boundaries ofthe earth, and instead of the wall, theearth has replied. In place of an echo, Ihave obtained a stationary electricalwave, a wave reflected from afar.”

Nikola Tesla’s discovery of pulsedpropagation of energy does not re-semble the standard transverse electro-magnetic waves so familiar to electricalengineers everywhere. Many engineersand physicists have dismissed Tesla’swireless energy transmission as unsci-entific without examining the unusualcharacteristics and benefits of longitu-dinal waves, which are the z-component solutions of Maxwell equa-tions.

Tesla wrote, “That electrical energycan be economically transmittedwithout wires to any terrestrial dis-tance, I have unmistakably establishedin numerous observations, experi-ments and measurements, qualitativeand quantitative. These have demon-strated that it is practicable to dis-tribute power from a central plant in

electrical power, rather than teleg-raphy. No more money was forth-coming for the project that Morgan ini-tiated, even when the equipment alonecost about $200,000. Morgan believedthat he would “have nothing to sell ex-cept antennas (and refused) to con-tribute to that charity.” Tesla tried foryears until in 1917 the U.S. govern-ment blew up the abandoned Warden-clyffe tower because suspectedGerman spies were seen “lurking”around it. With Edison as his willingally, Morgan even publicly discreditedTesla’s name, so that all of the fiveschool textbook publishers of the timeremoved any reference to him. Not sur-prisingly, even today, 100 years later,hardly anyone knows who Tesla is.

What follows is a physics and elec-trical engineering argument for a for-gotten alternative for energy genera-tion and transmission.

As Tesla experimented with a 1.5MW system in 1899 at ColoradoSprings, he was amazed to find thatpulses of electricity he sent out passedacross the entire globe returned with“undiminished strength.” He said, “Itwas a result so unbelievable that therevelation at first almost stunned me.”This verified the tremendous efficiencyof his peculiar method of pumping cur-rent into a spherical ball to charge it up


Editor’s Note: Atlantis Rising fre-quently receives first-person reportsand essays which describe original re-search, discoveries and conjecture.Previously (before issue #25) it hadbeen our policy not to publish suchmaterial. The reasons had to do withlimited space and the intention tomaintain our own credibility bysticking with third-party objective re-porting of material which is makingnews. Also, it is important to re-member that this is not a professionaljournal devoted to pure research andwe cannot become overly technical.However, much of the material we re-ceive, despite the often subjective biasof the writers, is quite interesting andwe feel that at least some of it shouldbe passed on to our readers. We arenow devoting regular space to suchmaterial—once per issue. We hasten toadd that the appearance of such mate-rial in Atlantis Rising does not consti-tute an endorsement from the pub-lisher.

onstruction of religiousbuildings in dynastic Egyptbegan by performing ritesof ancient origin. These cer-emonies lasted seven to fif-

teen days and involved careful orienta-tion of their temples by astronomicalobservation. Inscriptions in the Templeof Horus at Edfu indicate that it wasoriented from Orion in the south to theGreat Bear in the north. This was ac-complished by sighting certain circum-polar stars on a specific date, using awooden instrument equipped with aplumb line called a merkhet. This toolis described as a device that measures“an instrument that ‘indicates’ or ‘an

C

object used to recognize’, and oper-ating it is said to require knowledgeand skill.” The texts on the temple’senclosure wall state that the templewas built according to a plan that “de-scended from the sky to the north ofMemphis.” The inscriptions also referto a group known as the Seven Sages.They were the “only divine beingswho knew how temples were to becreated” and the words of the Sageswere copied down by Thoth, the godof wisdom, into a book with the im-probable title, Specifications of theEarly Primaeval Age.

According to the Edfu texts, theking was assisted in the performanceof these rituals by Seshat, the goddessof writing and measurement, who wasthought to be the sister, wife ordaughter of Thoth. She was known asthe Lady of Books and was a patron ofarithmetic, architecture and records.Drawings show her with a pole on herhead which is surmounted by a seven-rayed star. Scenes from the templewalls depict the king and Seshatstanding face to face, holding stakeswith which they stretch apart a loop ofrope. They also hold mallets whichthey seem to possess for pounding thestakes into the ground.

The king, by establishing the north-south survey line, and forming thetemple’s corner, demonstrates that theeast-west survey line must have alreadybeen in place. The layout of the east-west line was probably accomplishedusing a gnomen and the “India CircleOrientation Method.” The ancientEgyptians, when referring to a gnomenor sundial used the same familiar word,merkhet. Consider the word merkhetto be a generic term for a multi-

function tool. In this case, it is a devicethat uses sunlight to indicate the sun’sposition on the earth. Thoth must havepossessed a merkhet that used starlightto locate the position of a star on theground. This conjecture is not as pre-posterous as it sounds, once the opera-tion of Thoth’s merkhet is understood.

Information contained in theBuilding Texts of Edfu and Denderahmakes it obvious that the king was oc-cupied with observing somethingcalled the Ak of the Bull’s Thigh con-stellation and watching the stars rise in

SCIENCE’S DIRTYLITTLE SECRET

As the stars of the galaxy sprang into light, planets orbiting tens ofthousands of them evolved life, inhabitants that developed concepts offorce and motion that allowed them to reach the stars, forming agalactic community. On some of the planets, however, thedevelopment of life was interrupted by catastrophes. The inhabitants ofa few of those planets never quite recovered. The new concepts theyevolved to deal with the physical world were rooted in fear and basedon spiritual belief. Instead of going back and addressing the questionsof force and motion that would allow them to reach the stars, theydevised excuses to hug the planet, claiming that the most prevalentforce, gravity, was a mystical property of matter like color andhardness, which no mind could comprehend and the force that causedplanets to orbit and rotate was not even a current force, but anhistorical force that no longer existed. Refusing to confront the realitythat surrounded them, the life that evolved on these backward planetswas fated to die in place, sociological curiosities, short stops on thegalactic tour of failed civilizations.

FINALLY, THE STORIES OFSUPPRESSED INVENTIONS

receding every greatadvance and many of

the setbacks in our history,the geniuses of both lightand darkness, have battledfor the hearts and minds ofthe rest of us. But, despitethe stubborn resistance ofthose committed to theprimitive notions of earlierages, the outrageousimpossibilities of onegeneration continue tobecome the revolutionarybreakthroughs of the nextand the basic necessities ofthe future.

Still... in the 20thcentury, while theMarconi's...the HenryFord's...the Thomas Edison'shave succeeded in capturingmost of the attention,others with technologicalprowess bordering on themiraculous, strangely, havegone unnoticed. Men withnames like Tesla, Moray,Rife, Russell andSchauberger, laboring inalmost complete obscurity,and achieving almostincomprehensiblemiracles--free energy,anti-gravity, transmutationof the elements, physicalrejuvenation and more--were yet largely rejected, ridiculed and despised by thescientific establishment of their day. But now, a few decades later, a new breedof inventors, scientists and researchers is making rapid, if yet unpublicised,strides toward unraveling the astonishing secrets of those unsung giants whopreceded them. Today, many of these new technological magicians findthemselves on the threshold of breakthroughs, still believed, by many, to be thestuff of hallucination.

the eastern sky. The Bull’s Thigh con-stellation of the ancient Egyptians is ourUrsa Major, the Great Bear. British as-tronomer Sir Norman Lockyear be-lieved that “the Ak, the eye, i.e., thepreeminent one of the constellation”was used to establish the walls of theTemple of Hathor at Denderah. Thename of the star Alioth is said to be de-rived from the Arabic term “AI Hawar,the white of the eye, i.e., intenselybright.” It is the brightest of the sevenstars in the Big Dipper and a most likelycandidate for Lockyear’s mysterious Akof the Bull’s Thigh. A possible variantspelling of the word Ak is aq, which isdefined as the “exact middle, the culmi-nating point of a star or heavenlybody.”

Another clue is found in the variousspellings of the name Alioth. Formerversions are Aliath, Alaioth, Alhiath orAlhaiath, all very similar to Ahiat, aform of the Egyptian goddess Hathor,Mistress of the Northern Sky, who pos-sessed seven spirits known to the Egyp-tians as kas. Early in their history, theEgyptians called a certain cluster ofstars chu or chow and these stars repre-sented the goddess Neith of LowerEgypt. In the Ptolemaic period, thesesame stars were called Athur-ai, theStars of Athyr (Hathor). The samecluster is known to us as the Pleiades,the Seven Sisters. The Pleiades are un-like any other group of stars in the sky,their risings and settings regulate calen-dars, festivals and rituals worldwide.During the Old Kingdom, the SevenStars of Hathor would have risen over

THOTH’S MERKHETthe eastern mountains around midnightat midsummer, alerting the king that itwas time to make his stellar observa-tions of the Bull’s Thigh constellation.

One obvious indicator that seems tobe missing from the Building Texts isany mention of the “Great MooringPost,” the pole star, the star aroundwhich the night sky and the Bull’sThigh rotated. Due to the effects of pre-cession, the pole star during the OldKingdom was Thuban, a star in the con-stellation Draco. Thuban came withinten arc minutes of the pole about 2830B.C. and it must have appeared almostmotionless in the sky.

It now becomes possible to visualizethe king’s activities during that summernight, thousands of years ago, whenthe Stars of Athyr (the Pleiades), roseover the eastern mountains of the Nilevalley. The Great Mooring Post(Thuban), and the Ak (or aq) of theBull’s Thigh constellation (Alioth),formed a vertical line (Seshat’s stake)that indicated celestial north on thenorthern horizon. It was this perpen-dicular alignment that Thoth viewedwith his merkhet, allowing the planfrom the sky to descend to the Earth.

After some consideration, it seemsThoth’s merkhet must have operated ina manner similar to a maritime instru-ment called a Pelorus. This simple de-vice consists of sighting vanes mountedat each end of a rotating beam. Sightingacross the two vanes toward an objectoutboard of the ship produces abearing relative to the ship’s centerline.It is possible Thoth’s design moved thepoint of rotation to one end of thebeam and replaced the two sightingvanes with a front slit sight and a rear

kingdom of France, and help and pro-tection to King Charles.”

With much of France under Englishdomination, French sovereignty was indire straits. The forces of England’sHenry V had invaded in 1415, dealingthe French a crushing defeat at Agin-court. When Henry died, in 1422, theEnglish controlled all of France north ofthe Loire River, and in 1428 laid siegeto France’s last stronghold in the re-gion—Orléans.

Making matters worse, the Frenchthrone was itself in dispute.

King Henry had married thedaughter of Charles VI of France, andunder the terms of the 1420 Treaty ofTroyes Henry’s son was named heir tothe throne over the Dauphin Charles,son of the French king. Adding insult toinjury, the tale was spread that Charleswas illegitimate—a tale his own wid-owed mother, Isabeau, endorsed. Isa-beau was enjoying the protection ofthe French Burgundians, allied to Eng-land, so what’s a mother to do? Whilethe Burgundians held Paris, the Dau-phin held a pitifully ineffectual court atChinon.

Then, on March 4, 1429, Joanshowed up.

She is granted an audience with theDauphin on March 6 and, with divinehelp, recognizes him even though he isin disguise. She impresses him by pri-

vately relating a “secret” only heshould know. She is then vetted by acourt which recommends that Charlesset Joan at the head of his armies, andthe rest is a history well-enough knownto be covered only briefly here.

She raises the siege at Orléans anddrives the English out. She then leadsthe Dauphin to his coronation as KingCharles VII and, after a brief yet glo-rious military career, is captured by theBurgundians, sold to the English, triedand then burned at the stake whileFrance’s new king looks the other way.

Twenty-four years later, Joan is triedagain—posthumously—and in 1456 theoriginal verdict is “nullified.” Morethan 500 years after her birth, Joan ofArc is canonized Saint Joan in 1920—cold comfort to Joan the Maid.

But the “sworn testimony” thatpaints the picture of Joan we are nowexpected to accept is a weird mix ofthe believable and the unbelievable,the commonplace and the miraculous.Although many swore to the testimonygiven, only a few privileged hands re-corded it—so why must we believewhat they have written? Perhaps in-stead of accepting what they wrote,we should look elsewhere.

In previous articles I have proposedthe existence of a “secret brother-hood” with both the knowledge andclout to orchestrate certain historically➛

n May 30, 1431, a younggirl was burned alive forheresy and witchcraft inRouen, France.

According to one ac-count of the day, when she had suc-cumbed to the flames the fire “wasraked back, and her naked body shownto all the people, and all the secretsthat could or should belong to awoman, to take away any doubts frompeople’s minds. When they had staredlong enough at her dead body boundto the stake, the executioner got a bigfire going again round her poor car-cass, which was soon burned, bothflesh and bone reduced to ashes.”

Although history tells us the victimwas Joan of Arc, a simple shepherdessknown then as Joan the Maid, the ac-count of her execution shows even hergender was in doubt at the time—adoubt put to rest perhaps just a tad tooneatly in the historical record.

Joan deserves a closer look.Born on January 6, 1412, Joan is one

of history’s best-documented figures—hardly surprising considering that therecords of her several trials stillsurvive.

At age 13, a “voice” told Joan shehad been chosen by the “King ofHeaven” to bring “reparation to the

JOAN OF ARC


One of the suspiciously precise de-tails we know about Joan is her exacttime of birth—one hour after sunset onJanuary 6, a day variously known as theFeast of the Epiphany, the Day of theThree Kings, and the Twelfth Day ofChristmas. Surprisingly, neither Joan’smother nor any other witnesses at the“nullification” trial mentions that Joan’sbirthday was an official holy day.

Considering the trial was meant toshow that Joan’s mission had indeedbeen divinely inspired, I found that si-lence curious. And so I decided to con-sult a record I had discovered during

my previous re-search—the ar-

rangement of theheavens on the

day in question.Shortly before

dawn, the planetMercury, Mes-senger of the

Gods, rose abovethe bow of the

constellation Sag-ittarius, the

Archer, whileVenus, the

“morning star”and symbol of the

goddess in manypre-Christian tra-

ditions, sat on thebicep of the arm

that drew thebow. Then came

the sun, hidingthe heavens in

the light of day.In Shake-

speare’s “HenryVI,” written 179 years later, the Dau-phin challenges Joan to a mock sword-fight. Soundly trounced, Charles callsJoan the “bright star of Venus, fall’ndown on the earth.”

Let’s now consider the name “Arc,”which in French means “bow,” and hasalso come to mean the leap electricitymakes between unconnected points.It’s intriguing that on Joan’s birthdayVenus drew the bow, perhaps to indi-cate that a woman had been chosen tolet fly an arrow of hidden truth into thefuture, while Mercury, a.k.a. Hermes,would speed it on its way. And whilethe Dauphin’s reference to Joan asVenus fits this scenario neatly, aprophecy that had caught the imagina-tion of the day fairly shivers with reso-nance. Attributed to Merlin, theprophecy foretold that a virgin ridingSagittarius would save France!

Uranus followed the sun on Joan’sbirthday. Oldest of the gods, Uranus saton the head of Capricorn, the Goat—afigure some speculate is of enormousTemplar significance. One common de-

pivotal events on earth, which simulta-neously mirror the arrangement of theheavens, above. The articles suggestthat these events are staged not onlybecause out of the resulting smoke andthunder are born heroes and symbolsguaranteed to weather the winds oftime, but also because they are scriptedto shape a nation’s sense of identity forcenturies to come. Scotland has Robertthe Bruce. America has the Star-Spangled Banner.

France hasJoan of Arc.

One need onlylook at Joan’s en-tourage duringher glory days tosee a troupe nowrecognized asplayers in the “un-derground streamof knowledge”game. Under theterms of the “AuldAlliance” betweenScotland andFrance, many ofher comradeswere members ofthe Scots Guard, agroup thought tohave held strongties to the KnightsTemplar, whoseinner circle mayhave escapedfrom France toScotland upon theorder’s 1307 sup-pression for heresy, where they choseto quickly “disappear.” While today’ssizable Templar fan club subscribes tothat theory, my own opinion is that theknights’ inner circle had taken the for-ward-thinking view that it was time to“rightsize” the corporation, and haddone just that.

And then there is René d’Anjou, oneof Joan’s companions on her trip tomeet the Dauphin. One of René’s manytitles was “King of Jerusalem.” Purelytitular, the designation had neverthe-less descended from Godfroi deBouillon who, as the authors of “HolyBlood, Holy Grail” assert, had foundedthe shadowy Priory of Sion which, inturn, had founded the Knights Tem-plar. René is known to have been aclose friend of the young Leonardo daVinci who, later in life, is thought tohave been Grand Master of the Priory.“Many have made a trade of delusionsand false miracles, deceiving the stupidmultitude,” Leonardo wrote. He alsoheld the highly heretical belief thatJesus was a twin! But more about twinslater.

n 1307 King Philippe IV ofFrance traveled to Rome to con-vince Pope Clement V that theKnights Templar were NOT holydefenders of the Catholic faith,

but were seeking to destroy it. Hesucceeded.

On October 13, King Philip orderedsimultaneous raids on all the Templarpriories in his country. Within weeks,hundreds of knights were captured, in-cluding their Grand Master Jacques deMolay. The official day of the suppres-sion of the Templars was a Friday—theorigin of popular belief that Friday the13th was unlucky.

Templars throughout Europe beganto be arrested and harassed in an effortto extract confessions of heresy. Allcaptured were tortured, sometimes formonths and years, to make them di-vulge the secret of the Holy Grail andits whereabouts. Jacques de Molay wasgiven special attention and sufferedyears of agony. But, it is said, none ofthe Templars revealed the desiredinformation.

In 1312, Philip, even though theTemplars were already effectivelycrushed in France, pressured PopeClement V into disbanding itthroughout Europe. A papal bull sup-pressing the Order everywhere was fi-nally issued.

By now the King’s men enteringTemplar castles were finding manyabandoned. Those few men discoveredwere arrested, tried and found guilty ofsins against God. In 1314, de Molaywho had suffered in Philip’s dungeonsfor seven years—blinded by red-hotirons, his genitals boiled in oil andpulled off with cords, and most of hisbones broken or dislocated on therack—faced, by order of king and pope,his last torment: roasting alive over aslow fire. This barbarous destruction ofa human life was never to be forgotten,and today, 700 years later, de Molay’sname lives on as the title of a Masonicyouth group.

The Knights Templar were nowhunted men, dispersed all over Europe.Yet these refugee knights still com-manded immense respect from Eu-rope’s fighting men. In many placesthey were welcomed and given sanc-tuary as heroes. Some joined the Teu-tonic Knights and fought againstMongol and Tartar incursions in EasternEurope; some went to Hungary andfought against Turkish expansion;some went to Scotland, and others toPortugal.

taken place within two and a half milesof Stirling Castle, just south ofEdinburgh.

On June 24, 1314, Robert the Brucewith 6,000 Scots miraculously defeated20,000 English soldiers. Exactly whattook place that day has never reallybeen fully recorded. It is believed bysome that the battle was won withhelp from a special force of KnightsTemplar.

But what became of this missingfleet? Was it grounded in Scotland? Didit sail across the Atlantic a hundredyears before Columbus? Did it becomeone of the great fleets of the Portu-

guese and Scottish kings? Did itbecome a fleet of pirates that at-tacked ships loyal to the Popeand the Vatican? Perhaps all ofthe above!

Pirates—Guardians of theSangrael

According to MichaelBradley, author of Holy GrailAcross the Atlantic, the Tem-plars were guardians of theHoly Grail, in the sense that itcomprised the “Sangrael” or“Holy Blood.” The story goesthat descendants of Jesus livingin southern France were evacu-ated from Montségur during aterrible siege in March of 1244.They probably hid, as sometroubadour poetry suggests, innumerous secret Pyrenees cav-erns for months or even years.

But for the long-term safetyof the Templars and the HolyBlood, the Order and the Grailhad to be taken out of France,and, ultimately, even out of Eu-rope. Bradley says the GaronneRiver was the obvious route ofeventual escape, as it reachesfrom deep in the Pyreneesacross southern France to theGaronne Estuary on the westcoast. La Rochelle, home of theTemplar fleet, is situated on the

Estuary. A sanctuary at the town andfortress of Angouleme along the waymay have been used as a haven for twoor three generations. So long as theTemplars remained a cohesive and in-dependent order, there was hope thatthe lineage could successfully hide se-cretly in Europe and begin recoupingits fortunes.

Bradley believes at least some Tem-plar vessels which disappeared in 1307carried the Holy Grail. This may haveincluded not only family members ofthe former Merovingian Royal Family,but also a large assortment of physicaltreasures, including a fortune in goldcoins, crosses and jewelry, plus pos-sibly even the famous Cup of the Last

union of independent states. And, sig-nificantly, it was set up by a series ofMasonic lodges just as in NorthAmerica.

The Templar’s Last StandBaigent and Leigh go on to say that

the Templar fleet sailed from Portugalup the west coast of Ireland to the safeports in Donegal and Ulster, whereTemplar properties were located andarms smuggling to Argyll was common.

The fleet reached Argyll by sailing tothe south of the islands of Islay and Jurainto the Sound of Jura and unloadedmen and cargo at the Scottish Templar

strongholds of Kilmory, Castle Sweetand Kilmartin.

Robert the Bruce controlled por-tions of Scotland, but not all of it. Sig-nificant portions of the northern andsouthern highlands were controlled byclans allied with England. Robert hadbeen excommunicated by the Pope in1306, one year before the Templar per-secution began. Essentially, the papaldecree that outlawed the Templars wasnot applicable in Scotland, or at least inthe parts controlled by Robert theBruce.

The turning of the tide for Robertthe Bruce, Scotland and (maybe) theKnights Templar was the famous Battleof Bannockburn. Although the actualsite is not known, it is known to have

even have inherited some of the mapsand other secrets of the Phoenicians.Their great fleet is discussed in MichaelBaigent and Richard Leigh’s book TheTemple and the Lodge. The authorspoint out that the Templars had a hugefleet at their disposal, a fleet operatingout of ports in Mediterranean Franceand Italy as well as in northern France,Flanders and Portugal.

When King Philippe ordered theraids on October 13, 1307, the Tem-plar fleet based at La Rochellesomehow got advance warning. Theentire fleet set sail, escaped Philippe’snet, and has never been heard fromsince.

The disappearance of theTemplar fleet has become oneof the great mysteries of his-tory. What happened to it?Was it scattered amongst theseven seas, or did it secretly re-group?

Baigent and Leigh claim thatthe fleet escaped en masse andsailed for a mysterious destina-tion offering political asylumand safety, Scotland.

To get there, the Mediterra-nean fleet had to sail throughthe dangerous Straits of Gi-braltar and then probablystopped at various friendly Por-tuguese ports such as Almourolcastle. Portugal was one of thefew places where they couldfind asylum—a country which,unlike Spain, was largelysympathetic.

In Portugal the KnightsTemplar retained something ofa cohesive organization,merely changing their name to“The Order of the Knights ofChrist.” Here they found royalsupport to which the Churchcould only turn a blind eye.First, King Alfonso IV becamethe Grand Master of the “new”Knights of Christ. Later, hisson Prince Henry the Navigatorwas also Grand Master of theTemplars.

The curious history of Portugal, andlater Brazil, is tied into the Templarsand their lost fleet. Even the name Por-tugal is curious. It has been suggestedthat it is a Templar name “Port-O-Gral,”meaning “Port of the Grail.”

Portugal has always had close tieswith England, and one wonders if thisdoes not have something to do withthe Templars and their fleet in Por-tugal. And how was small Portugal toremain independent on the Iberian pe-ninsula? Was it because of its strongconnection to the Templars and an-cient seafarers? Later, its transatlanticcolony Brazil was set up in much thesame way as the United States, as a

ccording to the view of mainstream historians, primitive civilization inMesopotamia, Egypt, and in India emerged from the stone age just overfive thousand years ago.

Just a few centuries after what the experts say was the first greatlabor saving invention of the ancient world, the wheel, society crossed a major di-vide and headed inexorably toward the modern world. The wheel, we are told,revolutionized primitive society and set the stage for the great achievementswhich were to follow.

Such is the conventional scenario for the dawn of civilization on Earth. The as-sumption is, that the rise of highly organized society was unprecedented. If therehad been an earlier advanced civilization, we would have discovered unmistak-able evidence—highways, and bridges and electrical wiring; plastic bottles, citydumps, and CD Roms. Those, after all, are the things which we will leave topuzzle future archeologists.

But could an ancient civilization have risen to heights similar to our own and,perhaps, have traveled a different road? Would we understand a world whichmight have employed fundamentally different—though no less effective—techniques to harness the forces of nature? Would we understand, for example,the transmission of energy by means other than a power grid, rapid transitwithout internal combustion engines, or highly complex calculations involvingearth science and astronomy without electronic computers? Have we been surrounded by evidence of such an-cient advancements, but not yet, advanced enough ourselves to grasp the astounding implications.

Now a breakthrough video from the creators of Atlantis Rising magazine takes a look at real evidence—largely ignored by the academic establishment—which shatters the orthodox scenario for the dawn of civiliza-tion on Earth. Now assembled in a devastating one-hour documentary, hosted by Atlantis Rising Editor andPublisher J. Douglas Kenyon, are the comments and evidence of breakthrough researchers such as John An-thony West, Robert Bauval, Richard Noone, Colin Wilson, John Michell, Patrick Flanagan, Christo-pher Dunn, Zecharia Sitchin, David Hatcher Childress, Edgar Evans Cayce and others.

decade ago mainstream Egyptologistswere shocked to hear a geologistclaim that the Sphinx was far olderthan the fourth dynasty. RobertSchoch, associate professor at

Boston University and maverick EgyptologistJohn Anthony West, argued that the deep weath-ering patterns readily observed in the Sphinxcomplex had been caused by a long period ofrainfall. Could evidence show that the Giza, Dah-shur, Abusir and Saqqara pyramids might alsohave been damaged by rainfall-induced erosionand other long-term weathering factors? Do wereally know, as orthodox Egyptologists claim,what happened to the missing casing stones ofthose structures?

The author began his initial inquiry into thecause(s) of the disappearance of the stones thatonce covered the Great Pyramid and that soonled to a more extensive investigation.

The original observations involved severalanomalies including:

1. A group of intact casing stones on thenorth corner of the Great Pyramid standing incontrast to several badly damaged casing stoneson the opposite corner.

2. Casing stones remaining on the apex ofKhafre’s pyramid.

3. The apparent illogic of the popular historythat has local Arabs removing the casing stonesto build structures in Cairo, standing in contra-diction to well-documented historical and cul-tural conditions and events

4. The severely dilapidated condition ofMeidum and the Absur pyramids versus the rela-tively intact, older Bent and Red Pyramids.

Two popular histories attempt to explain whythe casing stones are missing from the Giza pyra-mids (all of the Egyptian pyramids). One involvesan alleged early fourteenth-century earthquakedislodging the casing stones and destroyingmuch of Cairo. That mythical event ostensiblymotivated the local civic and religious leaders toloot the pyramid to quickly rebuild the city. Thesecond and most widely accepted explanationexcludes the earthquake and claims that localArab sultans requisitioned the casing stones tobuild their Mosques, because of the high-gradequality of the finished blocks.

At face value either of these stories soundsplausible as they provide the needed motivationto tackle the daunting job. The earthquake evenmakes the scenario more palatable because itplaces the stones on the ground, thereby gettingrid of the difficult and dangerous task of disman-tling them from the steep, smooth face.

An investigation into the historically verifiablefacts quickly nullified the earthquake scenario.

Do We Really Know What Happened to the VastQuantities of Stone that Once Covered the GreatPyramid and Other Egyptian Monuments?

There is no record of Cairo having been leveledby a tremor in the fourteenth century. This israther disturbing since this account is widely cir-culated by various reputable sources. It seemeddubious from the onset to this investigator be-cause the pyramid’s inward leaning stone wallsmade it a very earthquake resistant structure.

There is no doubt about the absence of a se-rious earthquake because many of the buildingsthat were constructed before the fourth centurystill stand today. That leaves the second versionto consider. Most accounts agree that SultanHasan stripped off the casing stones in 1356 tobuild his mosque. Since there was no destructivetremor and William of Baldensel visited the sitein 1336 and claimed the pyramid displayed, “demaximis lapidibus et politis,” we can assume thecasing was largely intact if and when the Sultan’sdismantling crew began the job.

Even if this were true, and it is highly debat-able, it does not explain what happened to themillions of blocks that adorned the rest of theEgyptian pyramids, which have never been ac-counted for. Logic would argue that the greatestdemand for stones to be used as building mate-rials occurred between A.D. 500 and A.D. 1300,a boom period in Cairo that saw it elevated tothe status of “Mother of Cities.” However, that isnot when the popular history has the casingstones being removed.

In fact, in A.D. 1196, Saladin’s son mounted aconcerted attack on the pyramid of Menkaure todismantle it and remove the stones to use inother buildings. After eight months of brutallabor they gave up because they had only man-aged to inflict some minor damage on thenorthern face of the pyramid. This points up thetremendous logistical and tactical problems thatde-constructing the casing posed. The forcedentry of Al Mouman’s party into the Great Pyr-amid also demonstrates the extreme difficulty of

from classical times, itis not the only one. An-other, far less famousversion was writtenabout 300 years laterby a fellow Greek, bornin Agryrium, Sicily. Dio-dorus Siculus was aperipatetic scholarwho traveled widelythroughout the Medi-terranean world, gath-ering information first-hand for a huge worldhistory he was com-piling.

Around 5 B.C., hevisited Caesarea, newlyrenamed by Caesar Au-gustus himself. Previ-ously known by its Car-thaginian name as Iol,or “Sun City,” it wasthe recently revivedcapital of Mauretania, asemi-independentkingdom spread over what is now Mo-rocco and western Algeria.

The Mauretanian king was Juba II,more scholar than statesman, theformer prince of Numidia (modernLibya), now a thoroughly Romanized

40 books divided into three main parts.While most were lost with the collapseof classical civilization, the first five in-stallments escaped destruction. InVolume I, Diodorus writes that long be-fore the birth of Greece, when Egyptwas the great kingdom of the world,another power swept out of the Cau-casus Mountains of Central Asia. Thiswas a tribe of warrior-women, the re-nowned Amazons, comprising 30,000infantry and 20,000 cavalry, led byQueen Merine. She came to the aid ofan Egyptian king, Pharaoh Horus, inhelping to deter an invasion fromLibya. Victorious, the Amazons ex-tended their conquest across North Af-rica, to the shores of the AtlanticOcean. There they took over Hesperia,a nation near the Tritonides, a fencreated by the River Triton, where Me-rine built a new metropolis, Cherson-esus. From this “City of the Triton”,she staged an overseas assault on At-lantis, a days sail from the North Af-rican coast.

Despite stiff resistance, the invasiongained a foothold, and Cerne, the At-lantean capital, fell after its high wallswere burned. The old city was re-named after Merine, but she was gen-erous in success, repairing the damagecaused by the fighting, and concludedan alliance with the defeated Atlan-teans. Peace prevailed until Atlantiswas attacked again, this time by apeople known as the Gorgons, seekingto expel the occupiers. The Atlantean-Amazonian union stood firm, however,

helped create the firstmodern library systemin Rome, later assem-

bling his own vast col-lection at Caesarea. It

was one of the greatestatheneums of the clas-

sical world, and con-tained manuscript

copies found nowhereelse, because he had

managed to save part ofthe immense library at

Carthage before thatcity’s obliteration, al-

most 150 years before.The documents were

among the oldest in ex-istence, going back to

early Phoenician times,and recorded ancient in-

formation otherwiselost during the 400-year-

long Dark Ages whichalmost totally obscured

all knowledge of thepreceding Bronze Age.This was the special li-brary where DiodorusSiculus learned a tale

that the few investigators familiar withit still dismiss as myth.

But to Diodorus it was historicalfact, not fanciful legend, and worthy ofbeing included in his encyclopediclife’s work. The result of extensivetravels throughout the Mediterranean,his massive world history consisted of

sode in the long history of the sunkencivilization. A closer look at the detailssuggests it was not, after all, entirely apiece of fiction cut from whole cloth.

Curiously, Diodorus tells us that thecapital of Atlantis was Cerne. The nameoccurs nowhere else, save in theDorset countryside outside Dorchester,in the south of England. At the outskirtsof the town of Cerne-Abbas (the Abbotof Cerne) lies the 180-foot image of anaked man wielding a club in his righthand. Archaeologists believe it is wellover 2,000 years old, although datingtechniques are unable to assign a pre-cise time-frame for its creation. Duringthe 1970s, sub-surface investigationsunder the giant’s extended left arm re-vealed the outline of what appeared tobe a hanging cloth. Researchers as-sumed the hill-figure depicted Her-cules, who was commonly portrayedwith club and cape. However, subse-quent testing showed the underarmoutline had been added centuries afterthe effigy itself was cut into the chalklayer just beneath the surface of theground. Roman legionaires probably al-tered the figure to resemble Hercules,the divine patron of soldiers.

The Cerne-Abbas Giant was actuallymeant to represent Gogmagog, whowas said to have wielded an immensewar-club. With its proper identification,the figure’s Atlantean connection be-

gins to appear in its gigantic propor-tions, because Gogmagog was a leaderof Britain’s first inhabitants, descen-dants from the titan, Albion, brother ofAtlas. The tradition seems related tothe giant Fomors, the earliest residentsof Ireland, likewise regarded as titans.Culture-bearers from Atlantis arrivingin several other parts of the world, asfar away as the shores of Peru, wereoften described in local folk memory as“gigantic.”

Four centuries before Diodorus Sic-ulus, the Greek “father of history,” He-rodotus, reported that a people dwelton the Atlantic shores of North Africanear the River Triton, which flowedinto a great lagoon known as Tritonis.The natives called themselves “At-lantes, named after the mountain.Those who live around Lake Triton sac-rifice chiefly to Athene, and after her toTriton and Poseidon” (Histories, BookIV). He goes on to write that the At-lantes of his time (circa 490 B.C.) heldan annual festival “at which girls dividethemselves into two groups, and fighteach other with stones and sticks. Theysay the rite has come down to themfrom time immemorial, and by its per-formance they pay honor to their na-tive deity, which is the same as ourGreek Athene.” It seems all the more

and the threat was repulsed. Unde-terred, the Gorgons soon returned inforce, landed at several places, and in-flicted stinging reverses on theQueen’s army.

She was driven from Atlantis andpursued across the sea to Hersperia,where a desperate battle bloodied bothsides. After sacking and burning Cher-sonesus, the Gorgons went back to At-lantis, restoring the capital’s originalname, while Merine collected andburied her dead under three “Moundsof the Amazons.” Retreating with herbattered veterans across the LibyanDesert, she finally arrived in Egypt,where she was consoled by PharaohHorus.

What are we to make of this ac-count? It is utterly unlike Plato’s ver-sion, and seems to lack any basis incomparative myth or history. AlthoughDiodorus writes he learned it in Maure-tania (probably at King Juba II’s greatlibrary in the Mauretanian capital, Cea-sarea), it seems entirely legendary. At-lantis, supposedly the greatest powerof the ancient world, humiliated by aband of rootless women? Yet, Dio-dorus thought enough of Queen Me-rine’s life to include it in his history ofthe world. Does it at least contain frag-ments of real events, however garbled,as he apparently believed? If so, theymight reveal something of a lost epi-

George Santayana

irgo is the only femaleamong the zodiacal constel-lations, and other than thetwins, Castor and Pollux(Gemini), she is the only

human figure. Virgo is depicted as amaiden, holding a palm branch in herright and a single ear of wheat in herleft. The alpha star is named Spica, “earof wheat.” Virgo is one of the oldestconstellations and over time has beenequated with every important femininedeity, including Ishtar, Isis, Demeter,Persephone, Medusa, Artemis, andUrania. Allen says, “Those who claimvery high antiquity for the zodiacalsigns (15,000 years ago) assert that theidea of these titles originated when theSun was in Virgo at the springequinox, the time of the Egyptian har-vest.”

Bernadette Brady says, “Whateverimage is chosen across time and cul-tures, what is contained in Virgo is thearchetype of the harvest-bringing god-dess, pure and good, independent ofthe masculine. She gives the four sea-sons and is the source of the fertileEarth.” The more ancient concept of“virgin” described a woman who wasindependent and free to love whom

she chose. Virgo is also the Greek So-phia, goddess of wisdom, and in theGnostic tradition, she is the Black Ma-donna, mysterious guardian of femi-nine wisdom.

The power of these goddesses,ranging from agriculture and as-tronomy to justice, wisdom and war,seems to be missing from typical astro-logical renderings of the sixth sign ofthe zodiac. Virgo is often described asanalytical, critical, narrow, timid andtentative. Virgo is introspective and an-alytical, always seeking perfection. Inmodern parlance we might understandVirgo’s path as one of coming into thefullness of power, claiming and ex-pressing what exists in potential.

The mutable earth sign Virgo relatesto the stage of unfoldment which fo-cuses on specialization of forms. Sherepresents the stage in the cycle whenthe soul’s experience is focused on as-similation of knowledge. In this phasematter is organized, purified and re-fined into specific and recognizable ob-jects. Here we might say the GrandPlan of the Cosmos is carried out in de-tail. The zodiac has also been said torepresent the body of the Macrocosm,the Grand Human. In this vein the firstsign Aries corresponds with the head,Taurus the neck and shoulders, and soon. Metaphysically Virgo is the matrixand represents the womb of the innerChristos, or spiritual self, containingthe seed and eventual fruits of theSpirit. Seeds germinate in darkness,breaking their way out of their shellcasings, and sending roots into theEarth. Like the abdomen and intestines

which Virgo has dominion over, thisphase distills the qualitative pearlsfrom life.

JupiterThe Roman Jupiter was the Greek

Zeus and the Egyptian Min-Amon. Kingof the gods, Zeus was the quintessen-tial “sky father.” Jupiter was derivedfrom the earlier Indo-European SanskritDyaus, from div, “to shine,” and theLatin Dies-piter (Jupiter). Zeus/Jupiterwas considered to be the god of Light,and therefore wisdom (although hismythical escapades don’t always revealthat quality). According to myth, theinfant Jupiter was raised on the milk ofa goat whose horns continually over-flowed with food and drink. This is theorigin of the cornucopia, the horn ofplenty, and mythically encodes thesymbolism that Jupiter embodies abun-dance.

Zeus/Jupiter ruled supreme overthe other Olympian gods, wieldingthree thunderbolts. The first bolt was awarning shot across the bow, thesecond, which required the approvalof twelve gods known as “comsentes,”was hurled as a stronger warning. Thethird thunderbolt was thrown in pun-ishment, but only after permission wasgranted from superior and hiddengods. Astrologically, Jupiter acts to ex-pand the area he visits. His personalityis like the “Ghost of Christmas Present”in the famous Dickens tale, AChristmas Carol. Larger than life, Ju-piter’s presence will not be denied orswept under the carpet. He wantsmore and bigger of everything.

way this year as Jupiter in Virgo asks,“How can I make more money bymaking something more practical forordinary folks?” It’s also likely that dietand nutrition will be topics of interestduring this transit. Perhaps more reve-lations of the relationship between dietand so-called lifestyle diseases will berevealed. The FDA may go increasinglyon the offense to control supplementsand a spiraling alternative health in-dustry.

Pearls of great priceThese two influences do not yield

spontaneity or enthusiasm. The focusmight be on improving the conditionsof life: better health, longer life, in-creased comforts, ignoring the factorof expansion of consciousness which isthe domain of Jupiter-ruled Sagittarius,later in the zodiac. However, this ener-getic union holds the potential forknowledge and information to be accu-mulated, digested and assimilated in asystematic manner. Jupiter in Virgo canengender a quiet, unassuming desirefor more depth than is normally avail-able.

As Sky Father Jupiter was seen asthe god of weather, including sunshineas well as thunderstorms where hehurled his bolts of lightning. Jupiter in

Thunderbolts and staves of wheatJupiter, ruler of wide-ranging Sagit-

tarius, wants to look through a tele-scope, exploring far and wide, ex-panding his vast knowledge, eventually(and hopefully), gaining wisdomthrough diverse experiences. The nat-ural expansiveness of Jupiter is reignedin by the cautious and practical natureof the Virgin. Because of Virgo’scommon-sense approach, there is arisk that too much attention is paid tosmall details and the larger vision islost. On the surface this doesn’t lend it-self to original thinking. Virgo is morecomfortable with a microscope, ana-lyzing tiny details. Preoccupation withdetail can preclude expansive action.But details are not to be ignored in anyendeavor. Careful analysis of philo-sophical positions is possible becauseof an introspective bent, prompting anexamination of the inner workings ofour beliefs. One potential upside ofthis combination is making thewisdom of experience practical.

Jupiter’s largess is stifled as hemoves through Virgo, so this does notbode well for a robust economic re-covery during the next year. Insteadwhat’s called for is a further tighteningof the belt and implementing practicalfinancial measures. This won’t be wel-come as it’s a bit like asking Santa

Claus to close up the toy shop and goon a diet.

However, Jupiter in Virgo is a goodinfluence for commerce in general as at-tention is drawn to the market placeand the practical considerations of im-proving the quality of life. This is not aphilosophical orientation but a focusedeffort to improve resources through in-creased knowledge and technical appli-cations. This is also a good energeticcombination for technical skills whichrequire precision. Jupiter in Virgo canyield a shrewd ability to live by one’swits.

The Stock Market will favor tech-nical approaches and practical applica-tions. The inclination during Jupiter inVirgo will be prudent, always seekingan advantage. Investments will be con-servative, analytical, bordering onsqueamish, with Jupiter in Virgo andSaturn in Cancer. Investors will tend to-ward a short-term view as they struggleto recoup losses, and won’t look too fardown the road or take speculative risks.

Jupiter occupying Virgo strengthensthe critical faculties, so this combina-tion is good for research and investiga-tion and can provide excellent qualitiesof discernment. Astrologer IsabelHickey believed computers were ruledby Virgo. Computer technology couldtake an unexpected leap in a practical

understand, which, whenrevealed, opens to a newdimension of under-

standing in which it was no thread atall, but a thin stream of recollectionconnecting us to a great tapestry of for-gotten knowledge. These three videos,as with other offerings presented regu-larly in this publication, help to weavethat tapestry, upon which is recordedthe lost history that makes sense of thegarbled story of the soul. Really—allthat from a few videos? Let those whohave ears hear, or eyes watch, if youwant to get technical.

A&E’s ANCIENT MYSTERIES—KNIGHTS TEMPLAR

“Nine hundred years ago in theHoly Land,” Leonard Nimoy tells us inA&E’s Knights Templar, “Muslimsfighting crusaders were suddenly con-fronted by a strange and terrifyingforce, a legion of sword-wieldingmonks called the Knights Templar.…Who were these mysterious warriorsof the cross?”

This well-produced video in the An-cient Mysteries series (subtitled: NewInvestigations of the Unsolved) does afine job of telling us just that, at leastto the degree that the Templar veil canbe pierced by modern eyes. Here wehave a straightforward, though notnecessarily orthodox, depiction of themost mysterious and powerful spiritualorder in Western history, one done jus-tice by the likes of the narrator,Nimoy, who traces the order from itsinception in 1118 to its official demisein 1307 owing to the ruthless politicaland military efficiency of Phillip IV,King of France.

For some this may be old hat, forothers an enlightening but cursoryjourney into secret history. Henry Lin-coln, coauthor of Holy Blood, HolyGrail and The Messianic Legacy, lendsmuch to this aspect of the production,balancing staid, academic attitudes to-ward the Templars with some of themore speculative and tantalizing theo-ries. Nimoy, as with his performanceson the In Search Of series, introducesthe more controversial notions about

What satisfiesmost is that secrethistory, at leastsome of it, hasbeen introduced tothe masses, the pos-sibility that (espe-cially if you readLincoln’s work) intheir more idealisticheyday, the Tem-plars sought notonly control of theHoly Land for Chris-tendom but themystical teaching resident within theMiddle East, the alchemical secrets ofthe ages. The producers by no meansharp on this sort of thing, which onlymakes the introduction of such notionsmore credible. Nor do they harp on as-sertions that initiation into the order re-quired lewd and blasphemous acts.Under extreme forms of torture, in thewake of Phillip IV’s conquest of theTemplars, confessions about such Continued on Page 52

things were brutally extracted. Historyhaving been written, as usual, by thewinners, we can look with suspicion atsome of the more extreme chargesagainst the Templars. One could hardlydeny, however, their descent to onedegree or another into corruption asthe years wore on.

Mound Builders, based on the bookof the same name, connects the dots ofAmerican prehistory and Cayce’s pro-nouncements regarding ancient migra-tions to the Americas. Genetics sup-plies some of the more convincing orat least plausible evidence for ex-

tremely ancient people having mi-grated here from some unknown land,which Cayce said was Atlantis.Whether or not it was literally the At-lantis of legend can be argued.Watching this video, though, it’s hardto accept that these ancient peoplescame from Siberia, as the out of Africa/Bering Straight migration theory pro-poses. A better alternative under-standing of prehistory emerges, inwhich ancient peoples came to theseshores in three migrations, 50,000,

MOUNDBUILDERS,EDGAR CAYCE’SFORGOTTENLEGACY

The nature andorigin of America’sancient MoundBuilders emergeslike a forgottendream in MoundBuilders, EdgarCayce’s ForgottenLegacy. A series ofdiscoveries made in1997 raised ques-tions about themound builders,narrator GregoryLittle tells us. Whendid they migrate,how many migra-tions, where didthey come from,and how did theyget here? Those dis-coveries “caused a complete revision inancient American history,” we are told.While such language may be self-serving, and less than accurate if theproducers are referring to the world ofestablished archaeology, this videochronology of alternate prehistory pro-vides a satisfying and fascinating lookinto what may have been America’s an-cient past, one seemingly corroboratedby Edgar Cayce, the sleeping prophet,as he is called.


deeply spiritual, and a complex culture.In all, about 200,000 mounds havebeen located, some of them burialsites, some ten stories high, some withearthworks, circles, octagons, squares.The best preserved is found in Newark,Ohio, a 20-acre circle and 50-acre oc-tagon built 2500 years ago. Other an-cient earthworks stretch two miles inlength. Some served, in part, to accu-rately chart the movements of themoon and to predict eclipses and othercelestial events. Then there’s the 180-foot-wide road that is 56 miles long inOhio. It is connected to another sitewith 14 miles of walled walkways. Ima-gine 10,000 effigy mounds in Iowaalone (Serpent Mound, in Ohio, is themost famous) and you begin to graspthe extent of these cultures as rem-nants of the original migrations—fascinating to contemplate.

Four times the world was destroyed,the Hopi say. Those with knowledge ofmythology know that such legendsabound in the Americas (the Zuni ac-count of continental destruction is par-ticularly chilling). Echoing the myths,Cayce’s history of the ancient worldemerged at first in bits and piecesthrough his readings dealing with indi-viduals, and then more completely as

28,000, and 10,000 years ago, as someterrible force ripped away the founda-tion of their predeluvian civilization,making primitives of those who es-caped to distant shores—yet theybrought with them a knowledge andunderstanding of ancient Atlanteanurban design, described by Plato,which we find encoded in theirmounds, the hubs of theircommunities.

The video supplies several of themissing keys between the forgotten At-lantean past and the New Worldfounded by European explorers thou-sands of years later. Of course, theusual questions remain: What de-stroyed the ancient continent (if in-deed it was a continent, as opposed toa worldwide civilization characterizedby megalithic architecture as GrahamHancock proposes) and Where is theevidence of its existence?

Here we find evidence of the truedepth and scope of prehistoric Amer-ican cultures combined with the visionsof a prophet, which seem to fill inmany of the blanks in the ancient story.The Mound Builders came up from theSouth, according to Cayce, as descen-dants of Atlanteans. They left exquisiteartifacts, images of themselves that are Continued on Page 54

he spoke of Mu, Atlantis, and Egypt. InMound Builders, parts of the mytholog-ical record, aided by Cayce’s clairvoy-ance, seem to emerge as actual history.We envision what may have takenplace, an alternate account wrestedfrom the clutches of an intransigent in-tellectual aristocracy that has held on toits position and place for too long.Mound Builders isn’t flashy, but theproduction quality is adequate. Cayce isaccepted as a true seer here, yet onesupported by at least some archaeolog-ical evidence and a stream of logic thatdefies the standard line.

could not possibly have learnedas three-year olds. We have heardthe stories of children in India re-membering past lives, and that iswhere this story begins, but nowwe hear about American childrenhaving had the same kind ofmemories. The bad news forskeptics is that the details re-called by the toddlers check out,convincing various Ph.Ds thatthere must be something to thisreincarnation thing.

This straightforward andworthwhile production beginswith a simple premise and thengoes about supporting it, thatpremise being: “Rebirth meansthere is no such thing asdeath…life in an unbrokenstream, now in this condition,now in that, [characterized by]birth, growth, adulthood, oldage, death, and then reflection inthe spirit realm, and rebirth.”

Authors, researchers, evenone Tom Shroder of the Wash-ington Post, lend their voices towhat seems to be the unavoid-able case for reincarnation.Robert Almeder, a Ph.D in theDepartment of Philosophy at GeorgiaState University, tells us there are 250-300 ideal cases (among thousands)where the case for reincarnation is sup-ported among living people by memo-ries, skills, inexplicable knowledge,even scars.

When young children possess suchmemories, the case is compelling.Carol Bowman, author of Return fromHeaven and Children’s Past Lives listsfour criteria that she uses to test the va-lidity of a child’s past-life memories:matter-of-fact tone (serious, direct, notlike that of a fantasy); consistency overtime (same details over time, unlikequickly forgotten fantasies); knowl-edge beyond experience (events, loca-tions, even languages that a child couldnot possibly have learned); and corre-sponding behavior and traits (to that ofsomething that must have taken placein a past life, ie., scars and phobias).

The production also ventures intopast-life regressions as psychotherapy,an almost common practice these daysas people with unresolved emotionalproblems seek deeper solutions thanwhat more traditional psychothera-peutic models offer. Hypnotherapeuticregressions, though, are no more reli-able than the testimony of children. In-duced accounts of past lives do notlend support to the case for reincarna-tion unless verified in the same way

that the accounts of children must beverified. In Another Life avoids thisfact, leading some to believe, perhaps,that past-life regression experiences in-duced in a state of deep relaxation canbe interpreted literally, when they areas commonly symbolic expressions ofinternal conditions. Be that as it may,this production introduces us to adeeper understanding of the humanpsyche than conventional psychologydares to consider.

The case is taken even further whenwe are introduced to the teachings ofSwami Vivekananda and Meher Baba,who present an almost contradictorymessage regarding the transmigrationsof the soul (but not really) as we beginto understand that in the East, whencemuch about rebirth derives, the soul isomnipresent spirit that by definitionnever goes anywhere, since it is every-where. It is, rather, one of the grosserbodies, a reflection actually, that seem-ingly reincarnates as human beings de-scend out of what Meher Baba calls the“drop soul,” the drop that is identicalto the sea in which everything exists.

All in all, this is good stuff, coveringa wide range of metaphysics and cul-tural understanding in a smooth andenjoyable production.

■ BY ROBERT J. RESETAR

n search of some intimate musicfor “after hours” listening? Hereare three of ‘my’ favorites, eachwith a unique twist but eachthoroughly well-suited to the job

of being the musical accompanimentto your life...in the quiet times.

THE WINDINGPATH by KevinKern Real Music

Kevin Kern’snewest release isan ideal recordingfor de-stressingyour life. His cine-matic melodiescreate a highlyvisual listening ex-perience. Piano,acoustic guitar,flute and strings in-vite you to leavethe maddingcrowd behind andstep into a more tranquil mood. Of allthe composers I’ve heard who claim towrite music for relaxation or medita-tion, Kevin Kern walks the talk betterthan any. Unlike the many, his well-written melodies and tasteful, under-stated arrangements can be enjoyedover and over again.

There’s a deeper quality in Kern’smusic that creates an ambience oftrust, nurturing and acceptance. Onceyou experience that trust, the musiccan take you where it will and lead youto a place of calm. The liner notes in-clude an optional guided-imagery tech-nique you can use as you listen to themusic.

As with any real work of art, itsstrength lies in the ability to reach in-side our being and evoke a state thatleaves us changed for the better, evenif we don’t understand how or why.With this, his seventh album, KevinKern does just that with another trans-forming performance. During a recentconcert tour through Asia he played be-fore enthusiastic audiences who brokeinto applause after hearing only a fewnotes of their favorite songs from hisfirst six albums. That kind of responseis quite unusual for this type of music

change as spontaneously as the feel-ings, memories and inspirations thatflow through the pianist.

This is Michael’s 11th recording forNarada. Echoes of Childhood was in-spired by a William Wordsworth poem,Intimations of Immortality, whichspeaks of the completeness of life andthe timeless human journey from inno-cence lost to innocence regained. “Itreally struck me in that this was mystory. In order to move forward in life,we must go back to our childhood. Forme, it was bringing my love for musicinto my teaching. We must each findthat missing piece to our own life’spuzzles.”

Echoes of Childhood features Mi-chael’s characteristic improvisatorypiano style which evokes the lyricismof Chopin, the impressionistic beautyof Debussy and much more. Jones has away of musically interpreting a conceptor theme that is like a ‘translation intothe language of music.’ Each melodybuilds upon the last and flows seam-lessly into a tapestry which becomes amusical poem. Very light, synthesizedorchestrations highlight the work andenhance the moods as we pass fromidea to idea, theme to theme.

As a reflection of the album’s themein his own life, Michael Jones began in-tegrating music and leadership semi-nars back in 1992. He served as a corefaculty member for the Cambridge-based consulting and education com-pany, Dia Logos, which presents year-long programs for leaders in the art ofthinking together. Now through hisown company, Pianoscapes, Jonesblends personal narrative to convey hismessage and musical performances todeepen it and reinvigorate work envi-ronments with the shared sense oftrust, ethical responsibility and artful-ness in work. He has performed andspoken alongside Colin Powell, PeterSenge, Dee Hock (founder of VISA In-ternational), and many others.

Sounds like a man who has long agodiscovered his passions in life andbrought them together into a practicaland original lifestyle. Now we canlisten to the result in his musical im-pressions of Wordsworth, Echoes ofChildhood.

cacy, emotional depth and some excep-tional piano accompaniment. Her voicehas a hazy, silken quality that was madefor music like this. The entire album isjust piano and voice. But a ‘great’ voiceit is and one that gets better with eachlistening.

One can easily imagine Alice Tatumsinging some well-matched duets withTony Bennett. And like Tony Bennett,Alice brings a warmth and intimacy toeach word and every note. Her inter-pretations make every song a very per-sonal experience for the listener.

EUGENE MALLOVE

Continued from Page 17nation cylinders of the engine test firedin the California desert. In full publicview, just a few cubic centimeters ofnoble gas had been admitted with a hy-podermic needle to the sparkingchamber, and this made the thick steel-walled chamber peel back like a ba-nana when the device was electricallytriggered. The collaborating observersfrom the Naval Underseas Warfare La-boratory (as the Pasadena, CA lab wasthen called), who attended the deserttest, had earlier sealed the chamber sothat Papp or others could not insert il-licit explosives as part of a hoax.

But at the public meeting the nextmonth at which the fatality occurredwas Caltech physicist Richard P.Feynman (1918-1988), who hadworked on the Manhattan atomicbomb project in WWII. Before even ar-riving at the demonstration, Feynmanassumed that the Papp Engine, whoseoperation he was about to witness,had to be part of an elaborate hoax.We know this because he recountedhis reactions during the episode in hiswidely circulated account touted bythe “skeptic” community (“Mr. Papf’s(sic) Perpetual Motion Machine”).

But here is the central problemwith Feynman’s analysis (which hasmany other errors of fact and logic em-bedded in it): There was a court actionagainst Feynman by Papp and hisbacker, Don Roser of Environetics,Inc., as a result of Feynman’s inept at-tempt to disprove the Papp Enginewith his unauthorized pulling of anelectric control-circuit wire thatFeynman egregiously imagined had tobe powering the engine. It was unfor-tunate for Feynman that the wire’sgauge was far too thin even had therebeen a secret electric motor within theretrofit Volvo engine. Furthermore, asyou can learn, the engine kept runningeven after the flimsy wire was re-moved! Feynman asserted that Pappmost likely had deliberately planned toblow up his own engine to avoid sub-sequent discovery of the “fraud!” And,Feynman acknowledges that there wasan out-of-court settlement with Cal-tech. Surely, had there ever been theslightest piece of evidence that con-ventional explosives blew up the Pappengine that day, Caltech would mostcertainly not have had to settle! Pappwould soon have been charged withmanslaughter, no doubt, and Feynmanwould surely have cited this evidencepublicly. He was not one to shrinkfrom dramatic gestures. Caltech alsohad the motive and the means toskewer Papp with the kind of evidencethat is routinely gathered by police de-

partments and crime labs following ex-plosion accidents.

However, all records of the investi-gation into the accident appear to havevanished down some kind of a memoryhole. I believe they exist somewhere,but we have not been able—yet—to ob-tain them. But the point is that no-where, so far, do we have any evi-dence that the explosion was a resultof illicit explosives. Failing such directevidence of hoax, the proved violenceof the explosions—the November 1968and the October 1968 ones—stronglypoint to the reality of the Papp pro-cess. But we also have the contempo-rary laboratory work that establishesconvincing evidence—visual and by in-strumentation, that noble gases can bemade to explode and achieve over-unity. Heroic work on a shoestringbudget over the past few years is re-counted in broad scope by two re-searchers in Minnesota. Also, two anon-ymous Ph.D. investigators circa 2000,with prominent positions in the coldfusion field, certainly estimated over-unity factors beyond 10 and perhapseven 100—for what may well be a sub-optimal version of the Papp noble gasprocess. To run a cyclic 100 HP engineas Papp did would require detonationenergies possibly far beyond these pre-liminary factors, but remember: no onewho is attempting to recover the tech-nology knows the exact pre-treatmentprocess and gas mixture that Papp em-ployed. The three issued U.S. patents,so far, have not been adequate to learnexactly what was done. Finally, theeyewitness accounts, as well as the dy-namometer test of 1983, give furthersupport for the validity of Papptechnology.

Feynman is widely known today forhis aid in helping to resolve the spaceshuttle Challenger accident of 1986.The brilliant, entertaining, passionate,and often self-effacing physicist withthe Far Rockaway, New York accent

won the Nobel Prize for physics withJulian Schwinger and Sin-Itiro Toma-naga in 1965, three years before the ex-plosion of the Papp Engine in Gardena.He is rightly considered to be a verygreat scientist, whose quest to expandthe frontiers of physics and to conveythe excitement of science to the publicwas legendary and noble. In fact, I hadoften thought that if Feynman hadlived into the cold fusion era, he mighthave set some of the anti-cold fusionbigots straight. Several years beforeFeynman’s Nobel Prize award, April1963, in several wonderful lecturesthat have been reprinted in a book,The Meaning of It All, (Addison-Wesley, 1998), Feynman made thiswise observation:

“‘The exception tests the rule.’ Or,put another way. ‘The exceptionproves that the rule is wrong.’ That isthe principle of science. If there is anexception to any rule, and if it can beproved by observation that rule iswrong.” (p.16)

Feynman’s tragic mistake would bejust that, by the way—a mistakewhether or not the Papp engine is real.If it is real, so much the worse forFeynman’s legacy, for science, and forcivilization. The inadequate methodsby which Feynman rendered a snapjudgment on the Papp engine that dayreflected poorly on him; his methodswere incapable of discovering the truthabout this device. And then there arethe questions about what did Feynmanknow and when did he know it, con-cerning any accident reports that mayhave been available to him.

There is now a staggering amountof good information available, which ata bare minimum would justify a thor-ough review of the Papp Engine matterby official agencies such as the U.S. De-partment of Energy and military re-search organizations, such as DARPA.But the cat is out of the bag, and itcannot be put back. One hopes thatthe civilian uses of this potential tech-nology will far outweigh the militaryhazards.

Joseph Papp was a “hero” to havebrought this technology to the NewWorld, but his outrageous behavior atmany turns helped prevent scientifictruth from emerging. Yet at long last,the truth is coming out. There needs tobe a wide and deep review of the evi-dence. We hope that the beginning ofInfinite Energy’s coverage of the PappEngine and the science that may un-derlie it will contribute to the searchfor scientific truth. Perhaps the Pappsaga, and particularly RichardFeynman’s negative role in it, will yethelp to catalyze a long overdue reviewby mainstream science of what itthinks it knows and what it thinks itknows cannot be.

that the water temperature in theoceans rose a few degrees, causinglarge stretches of hydrates on theseabed to release prodigious amountsof methane gas into the atmosphere,triggering an extreme version of thegreenhouse effect, with all the devas-tating consequences we’ve beenwarned about. When all was said anddone, the way was clear for dinosaursto rule the Earth. Confused yet?

A Plot TwistEnter new players, bearing a new

theory. This one posits evidence thatmost of the carbon on the planet maybe held as carbonates in the uppermantle of the Earth, and that massivevolcanic eruptions may provide amechanism for rapidly injecting enor-mous quantities of carbon dioxide intothe atmosphere. Thus, we’re back tothe model in which volcanic eruptionscause global heating. Maybe.

Writing in Letters to nature, Na-ture, Vol. 424, 24 July 2003. page 414et seq., in their letter titled “Carbon sol-ubility in olivine and the mode ofcarbon storage in the Earth’s mantle,”authors Hans Kepler, Michael Wieden-bock & Svyatoslav S. Shcheka reporton some important measurements theymade of olivine, “the major constituentof the upper mantle,” and its permea-bility to carbon, thus its ability to trapcarbon and block the discharge oflarge amounts of carbon into the at-mosphere during volcanic eruptions.“Even solubility of the order of a fewhundred parts per million (p.p.m.) byweight would be sufficient to incorpo-rate all carbon in the upper mantle inolivine. If carbon were present in a di-lute solid solution in olivine, mobi-lizing large amounts of carbon fromthe mantle and transferring it withinshort timescales to the atmospherewould be impossible.” In other words,if olivine soaks up carbon more thanthe tiniest fraction by weight, therecan be no mass carbon release into theatmosphere, thus no massive green-house effect and attendant environ-mental havoc.

There follows exceedingly detailedand technically complex materialdealing with the ins and outs of the ex-perimental setup, limits of prior exper-iments, plus various things which hap-pened, and didn’t happen, during theexperiments. The letter itself has allthe minutiae anyone could want onthese matters, but we here are farmore concerned with the experi-mental outcomes, which were sur-prising. Olivine turns out to have nearzero carbon solubility.

“Carbon solubility in olivine is ex-ceedingly low, of the order of 0.1p.p.m. by weight.” The letter authorsthen go on to note that even if the as-tronomic pressures and heat found atthe base of the upper mantle are in-voked via extrapolation, carbon solu-bility is still a mere 1 p.p.m., wellbelow the few hundred p.p.m. theyearly defined as being needed to lockthe carbon in the upper mantle.

Based on the above experimentsand related tests conducted with othermantle minerals, they conclude “...it isevident that this carbon cannot bepresent in olivine or any other majormineral of the upper mantle. Instead, itmust reside in a separate carbon-richphase....Therefore, carbonates appearto host more than 90% of the carbonpresent in the deeper part of the uppermantle.”

Time for a review. If olivine (andother upper mantle minerals) is solubleto carbon, then the carbon is locked upand cannot be disgorged into the at-mosphere during large-scale eruptions.Thus, we can expect no instant globalwarming scenarios as a result. Con-versely, if olivine (and other uppermantle minerals) is not carbon soluble,then the means do exist by which therecan be stupendous carbon dischargesinto the Earth’s atmosphere, triggeringa greenhouse effect of immense anddevastating proportions.

The experimental evidence is aboutas unambiguous as it gets, showing thatcarbon solubility, in all the mineralstested, is so minor as to be inconse-quential. Moreover, the letter authorsgo on to demonstrate that carbonateswill melt under relatively modest tem-perature and that a subsequent pres-

sure drop (as would occur on the wayto the surface) will release carbon di-oxide. They put it this way:

“It is therefore conceivable that alarge melting event in a carbonate-richpart of the deeper mantle could rapidlytransfer large amounts of carbon di-oxide into the atmosphere. This is con-sistent with models that link extinctionevents, such as the event at the Tri-assic-Jurassic boundary, to flood basalteruptions via a sudden increase inglobal CO2 levels.”

Back Where We Started?Thus, we appear to have come full

circle, yet the conundrum remains: vol-canoes both heat and cool the Earth,with effects varying dramatically ac-cording to the scale and duration ofthe eruptive activity. Perhaps it’s timefor a bit of informed speculation?

Maybe this seeming disconnect isthe product of Earth’s natural tendencyto rebalance, with what happens andhow long being affected by the se-verity of the triggering imbalance?

Certainly, those who view Earth asa living thing under the Gaia modelwould find this to be no big shock. Fur-ther, there are several conceptsfloating about which have likened hu-

mankind to a virus plaguing theplanet and large scale Earth uphea-vals to immune system responsesby the Earth. Others have likenedus to fleas, with Earth the dog.Popular culture’s “Rocky HorrorShow” gives us an even grimmertake when the gentleman who actsas the Greek chorus intones as thepicture ends “and crawling (pause)on the planet’s face (pause) someinsects (pause) called the humanrace...”

This magazine has argued fromthe beginning and has presentedall sorts of evidence that ourpresent civilization (if you can call itsuch) is but the latest of many, some ofwhich were lost to history altogetherand were only recently rediscovered,such as the ones on the bottom of theBlack Sea and off the coast of India.And a common thread which runsthrough much of the evidence and themyth and lore is the annihilating prop-erty of natural disasters—with orwithout human triggers as described inthe Atlantis story, to name but one.

Students of metaphysics are alsodoubtless aware of several texts and/orbodies of shamanic teachings whichspecifically link nothing less than thestability of the planet to the behaviorof humankind, and this very connec-tion has been repeatedly observed and

discussed by the Earth sensitives,who’ve seen large-scale acting out(riots, wars, etc.) followed veryquickly, over and over again, by var-ious Earth upheavals, usually quakes oreruptions, but sometimes terriblestorms, floods, fires or other trauma.

Those who study military historyare also highly cognizant that warsseem to be inevitably associated withweather extremes, and this was soeven before the better documentedmodern era. Granted that the clash ofarms can indeed modify the weathervia condensation triggering (the So-viets used to generate rain by firing ar-tillery en masse in drought regionsduring the 1950s), but there seems tobe something much bigger going on

here than small-scale man-made phe-nomenology. Napoleon’s horrificwinter retreat in Russia and the frozenmisery of the Battle of the Bulge arebut two examples of extreme weatherduring military operations which manywill find familiar. Not only do we seethe worst winters in sometimes hun-dreds of years during military opera-tions, but equally impressive heatrecords and other climatedisturbances.

There are no surprises in any of thisto those who see the interconnected-ness, the oneness of all things, be theyHermetic philosophers ("as above, sobelow”) or quantum mechanics (whoknow that acting on one photon canchange the state of another photonmillions of miles away). We do not op-erate in a vacuum, we are tied togetherin ways both subtle and gross, and ouractions have consequences and reper-cussions. This is even more true if weinvoke superstring theory, parallel uni-verses and other concepts, for nowwe’re forced to deal with the notionthat our actions here affect not onlyEarth and ourselves, but beings andrealms unseen. As so often happens,the writers got there first, for we findIsaac Asimov in his 1972 novel, TheGods Themselves, soberly contem-

plating the implications of harvestingwhat we would term zero point energyfrom a parallel universe. Call the talecautionary.

Similarly, UFO researchers can pointto message after message given to UFOcontactees and abductees indicatingthat our doings here on Earth are toler-ated by impossibly advanced starfaringbeings only insofar as they do not fun-damentally disrupt or destroy the livesand wellbeing of other sentient spe-cies. Of particular interest to them areour nuclear and thermonuclearweapons. Why? According to TomBearden (www.cheniere.org), a nu-clear or thermonuclear detonation is ahyperdimensional event which ripsthrough the very fabric of Space-Timeand thus suddenly and instantly in-trudes wholesale into other dimen-sions. Talk about annoying the neigh-bors! Maybe humankind has avoidedthe usual fate attending highly ad-vanced weapons (used in quantity,with ghastly results) because of thesewarnings, because of the explicit threatof extraterrestrial intervention and inva-sion, not to save us from our own self-destructive folly, but to save other be-ings from us and preserve Earth herselffrom those who would destroy her!This writer has seen such warnings re-

peatedly in his own UFO researches,and back around 1980, attended a lec-ture and workshop where TomBearden presented a Life magazinecover shot of a hydrogen bomb test, anamazing shot in which, amidst theheart of the highly opaque mushroomcloud, stars could clearly be seen. Itwas Tom Bearden’s firm belief that thephoto’s publication was a grievouserror by the government, since itshowed that the hydrogen bomb hadripped open the dimensional veil.

Is humanity involved in a galacticSituation X, a species-wide test inwhich we either learn to live in har-mony with each other and the planetand transcend our present tragic situa-tion or reap terrible destructionbrought about by our own howlingchaos and hostility? Are we affectingthe fundamental volcanic and seismicstability of the planet which sheltersand nourishes us, and if so, in a goodway or a bad way?

The Earth sensitives know we’re introuble, as do the metaphysicians andthe shamans. Larry Parks is trying towake people up, and a few conven-tional scientists are apparently startingto realize we’re in jeopardy as well.When will governments act properlyand warn the public?

the most reasonable.We next headed south and east to

investigate the circles recently investi-gated by Dr. Greg Little for the Associa-tion of Research and Enlightenment(A.R.E.), the Edgar Cayce group (seeAtlantis Rising #40, page 10). The sitehad shown up on Jonathan’s satellitephotos. We soon located a smallercircle, actually more of an oval, underabout 10 to 12 feet of water. Sea grassdefined most of it except a “crater” ofsand just east of the eastward pointingbow. It was here that our probes hitrock. I estimate that from the center ofthe depression the hard material wasabout 2 feet down in the sand. Thecircle itself was about 60 feet north tosouth and longer east to west. Westretched out my measuring tape to its50-foot limit and there were still 10s offeet to go (at least 80?). The depressionitself was about 10 feet across.

Next, we went to the 200-footcircle which we found with no diffi-culty. A flag had been placed in thecenter at the highest point, remindingus of a golf green. It was barely a footdeep, at that point, and a definite navi-gation hazard. I probed again in var-ious locations. It was in the sandyareas, about 4 feet deep that I hitbottom. About 18 inches to 2 feet into

the sand I hit what was apparentlyrock. There was some variation indepth as the bottom sloped slightly.The extreme shallowness came as a sur-prise to me.

We then called it a day.

from roughly 120 foot (sometimes less)to off the edge of the shelf of theGrand Bahama Bank (the drop-off). Wewere looking for any “spikes”—abruptrises in the ocean floor that might bearchaeological features or hazards toany future side-scan sonar work. Jona-than had me monitor images on the de-vice registering the depth contour andhis computer which was logged data(depth and G.P.S. co-ordinates). Whilehe was directing the procedure anddoing all of the hard work, I got towatch the monitors and videotape unu-

sual returns. Several were most inter-esting. One of the more interesting re-turns reminded me of terraces. Someeven more evocative returns showedthings sticking up from the bottom thatcould be wrecks, intrusive debris, orpossibly even “in situ” cultural remainsor structures. They are certainly worthinvestigating. What I find significant isthat I looked toward shore and noticedthat some of the most interesting re-turns were not far from the latitude ofthe Bimini Road. I doubt that this is co-incidental as our side-scan returns werewithin about 2 miles of it too. There isa first drop-off at between 120 and 140feet and then the main one at 320 feet.

After this we did a dive on the Bi-mini Road. Jonathan helped me withthe cameras. I was to find later in theday that the camera had apparentlybumped the dessicant which switchedit off, meaning that the only video wasof me putting the camera into thehousing—a freak accident (remedied ona following dive).

Thursday, July 17, 2003Once again we headed to the

western side of Bimini to investigate1600-foot parallel lines which Jonathanhad detected in the satellite photos. Aswe went, we collected more contourdata. The plan was to follow the co-ordinates of the lines while towing oneperson holding the tow/drop camera.As with the “Pentagon” and “Rec-tangle” sand and sea grass were the pri-mary components. Depth was suffi-cient for sub-bottom profiling.Jonathan made one very interesting ob-servation while doing this—though thewater at the surface was the typical 78degrees or so, near the bottom the tem-perature was, as he described, “hot.”Though thermoclines are commonenough, here the temperature gradientwas inverted—a rare phenomena. Tem-peratures in the upper eighties or nine-ties are difficult to explain.

Dr. William Hutton (“The HuttonCommentaries”) has speculated thatthere may have been a magma break-through in the past that penetrated thecarbonate material and may havebrought various minerals close to thesurface and that the fracture runsthrough Bimini. Is it possible that thereis a geothermal component that maybe heating the waters and be respon-sible for some of the sulfur in Ba-hamian waters? Once in a channel inthe mangroves, some colleagues and Ialso noted “hot” water, possibly in theninety-degree range, flowing quickly.Sulfur can frequently be smelled in theswamps, and one wonders how muchis due to organic decomposition andhow much is due to mineral deposits.

Friday, July 18, 2003We followed the co-ordinates to-

ward the Pentagon, running into somefairly shallow water about 2 miles fromthe target. When we arrived, the shapewas discernible, though not as much asfrom the air. It was defined by the ubiq-uitous sea grass and there were sandyareas. Depth varied from about 10 to14 or 15 feet. Jonathan and I swam tothe edge at the north and then backinto the general feature, probing insandy and sea growth areas. We foundsome “recent artifacts,” probably fromsome vessel—one appeared to be ce-ment and wood, another had a lot ofnails defining the edge. Both were rec-tangular. We did not detect a stonefoundation here either. Fortunately thedepth is sufficient for sub-bottom pro-filing. Because of the depth and tide sit-uation we did not havethe necessary “windowof opportunity” to inves-tigate the possible Hex-agon to the east.

We did stop by anddive on the western sideof Moxon Rocks. One ofthe features I had previ-ously thought was a topopening into a caveturned out to be a fallensection in a depressionon the side, thoughthere was anotheropening a little to thesouth. The fish wereplentiful and Jonathaneven took a shot at onewith his HawaiianSling, just missing it.

We next went to the Bimini Roadagain to take more pictures. Conditionswere good. This time I taped the dessi-cant pack to the video cam. I finallysucceeded in getting video footageover a fair amount of the Road andgood photos. We covered the nicealignments on the “Rebikoff’s Pier” sec-tion (the two parallel lines inside of the“J”), the “J”, and stones in between.Overall it was one of the three bestphoto shoots I’ve ever had on the Roadwith a large variety of stone featuresdocumented.

I found a squarish stone with an in-dentation which I cleaned off to dis-cover that it had a mortise running thelength. It is on the videotape and wasphotographed. I saw a smaller stonewith straight edges which Jonathanhad lifted up on one end. It was a littleover 20 inches long, about 16 incheswide, and 6 1/2 inches thick. Theaforementioned features are as much apart of the Bimini Road as the largerounded stones, simply less numerous,yet they are clearly not “beach rock”and are definitely “shaped” and appar-

ently architectural in nature. One otherclass of stone feature was also fairlywell distributed—large (several feet insize) slabs that look like fallen wall sec-tions. These were closer to the “J”.Both of us noted how rich in life the“J” was—coral, vegetation, and thou-sands of beautiful fish —while the Re-bikoff’s Pier section is comparativelybarren. There is no doubt in my mindthat much of what I saw was artifactualand of an architectural nature: preposi-tioned alignments with definite place-ment patterns still remaining in the lessdisturbed sections with evenly spacedfurrows following right-angled orienta-tions; smaller clearly cut stones of aparticular narrow size-range; mortiseson in-situ stones; and large slabs pos-sibly in the 5-foot range. It looks likewhat is left after some great move-ments or shaking.

Saturday, July 19, 2003On the night before

Jonathan and I had dis-cussed his going out for

another day of collectingocean bottom data. Since

we had enough in thenon-profit fund (only an

extra $500 was needed),plans were made for him

to go out again while Igot ready to fly out.

Thomas Coleman wasmy pilot again and I

showed him where tolook for the various

mounds I had mentionedbefore (Fish, Cat, Dol-

phin, etc.). He proved tohave a fairly good eye

for spotting them. The flight back toFlorida was fairly quick.

We accomplished all of our objec-tives and even a few extras. The qualityof the data looks good and some, suchas the ocean bottom data, should beuseful to others. Sub-bottom profilingis a necessity for the “Pentagon” andthe “Rectangle.” If stone foundationsare found at or below the 10- to 12-footrange they will date to circa the 10thmillennium period and ipso facto estab-lish that the currently observable im-ages are remnants of prior structuresthat would have required a peoplewith precise knowledge of mathe-matics and the ability to plan on a largescale, as well as to cut and move largestones—in other words, a civilization.

The clues, hints, and tantalizinganomalies are all still there—and spreadout over large areas. The technology,and resolve, are present. Verification ofa civilization in the Bahamas during thePaleolithic would rewrite history. Wehave the ability to do that, one step at atime, with proper funding.

JORDAN MAXWELL

Continued from Page 27hind the scenes, providing intellectualdirection to a lot of people, includingGeorge Lucas and Michael Eisner fromDisney,” he states. He seems pleasedwhen recounting the Hollywood party“thrown for me with about 50 movieexecutives in Beverly Hills.” He’s lessanimated recalling the result of the eve-ning: “I got Richard Hoagland a majormotion picture, but it fell through. I’vehad many disappointments—things thatfall through at the last minute becausesomeone doesn’tdo what theysaid they’d do.”Still, he takespleasure in thefact that anynumber of “bignames” in Holly-wood check inwith him on aregular basis.“You’d be sur-prised who callsme,” he says.Even rapster“Iced Tea”credits Maxwellwith being “theMan.”

Maxwell be-lieves the founda-tion of virtuallyall modern relig-ions (“exceptmaybe Bud-dhism”) arebased on thesame generalconcept: a warbetween light and dark forces. “This iswhat I love and what I do,” he says; “Itake general concepts and ideas thathave come together to form founda-tions for our modern-day world. It’snow called pattern recognition. I seepatterns in things. Boiled down, all re-ligions are a war between light anddarkness, between intellectual intelli-gence and stupidity.” Having re-searched ancient Egypt exhaustively,Maxwell believes that much of Chris-tian history was pre-extant as Egyptianmythology.

He points out that Indiana Jonesdidn’t go to the Holy Land to find theLost Ark of the Covenant, but to Egypt,where there had been a historical “Arkof the Contract” between the Pharaohsand the Gods a thousand years beforethe Ark of the Covenant. He also citesthe “Astro-Theological” view of GeraldMassey (an influential thinker at theturn of the twentieth century) as acredible basis for the esoteric under-standing of religion, and puts forth his

own rendition of Astro-Theology (wor-ship of the Heavens) in his theory ofThe Solar Cult. Illustrated with Egyp-tian symbols and annotated with Bib-lical quotations (“I have great respectfor the Bible, but not for today’s ‘Chur-chianity’”), Maxwell’s writing style iscumbersome but thought provoking ifnot convincing. His interview with Dr.Snow, a noted expert on The Dead SeaScrolls, is fascinating. Both can be readon www.jordanmaxwell.com ortsoa.net (though as of this writing, bothsites are undergoing completereconstruction).

In early 1959 Maxwell moved Westand has called the

L.A. area homeever since. In

1967 he married“a wonderful,

conservative girlwho put up with

me for 30 yearsand finally di-

vorced me be-cause she

couldn’t figureout why I was theway I was.” Sym-

bolically, Maxwellsees himself as

the Magician orthe Hermit. “I’m a

curmudgeon sci-entist trying to

find the most in-teresting, off-the-

wall people. Iwant nothing to

do with wherethe masses aregoing or withwhat they’re

doing. I’m not in-terested in what Hollywood or the gov-ernment is telling us. I want to knowthe real story. I just love the mystery oflife. I can’t understand people who arebored with life.”

Considered a preeminent researcherand authority in the field of occult/religious philosophy, Maxwell was theReligion Editor of Truth Seeker Maga-zine, America’s oldest Free ThoughtJournal, for three and a half years.Founded in 1873, the magazine and itsfunding organization were originallybased in New York, where James H.Johnson set up a Public Trust Fundwith twenty million dollars in grants.Working from San Diego, Maxwell wasin a position to help bring vanguardthinkers such as author David Icke tothe forefront.

“I had astronauts, lecturers, writers,doctors and teachers from all over theworld coming to see me,” says Max-well, who notes that “Truth Seeker dis-solved when the woman running it de-cided she was no longer interested in

the endeavor.” But Maxwell’s influencehad been noted by the PhilosophicalResearch Institute, where he was in-vited to be a faculty speaker. Foundedby Manly P. Hall, the Institute gave hima platform from which to continue hiswork. Maxwell says he considers Hall asaintly figure and is sure “he was notcompletely mortal.” He also admires Jo-seph Campbell (“a shining light in anotherwise darkened world”) and Dr.Gene Scott (“when you get past the an-tics and silliness there is a brilliance be-hind this man’s theological mind,though I don’t agree with everythinghe says”). But his “most favorite personof all” is Gore Vidal. “I could listen toGore Vidal for the next three yearsnon-stop. I think he’s absolutely sensa-tional. I love the profoundness of hisintelligence.” Maxwell also found acti-vist Dick Gregory inspirational, callinghim “an incredible orator.” “I lovehearing intelligent people discuss theirviews,” he says with enthusiasm. Intel-lectual achievement is a divine gift. Ifyou’ve got it, use it. I try to intellectu-ally spread knowledge and wisdom toother people. What has driven me allmy life is a desire to collect knowl-edge, wisdom and understanding andgive it to my fellow man for those whoare interested. I love the quote; ‘Al-ways trust a person looking for thetruth, but never trust someone whosays s/he’s found it’!”

Known around the world for hiscutting-edge information, lectures, con-ferences and seminars, Maxwell hashosted radio talk shows and has beenfeatured on more than 600 others. Hehas also written, produced and ap-peared in numerous television showsand documentaries (including threetwo-hour specials for the CBS TV net-work, and the internationally ac-claimed five-part Ancient Mystery Se-ries devoted to understanding ancientreligions and their pervasive influenceon world affairs today). His work onboth ancient and modern secret socie-ties and their symbols has fascinatedaudiences around the world for fourdecades. Interestingly, his “big break”came in a small package.

“The first thing that really put meout there was a two-hour video thatcame out of a talk I gave at a bookstorearound 1988 or ’89,” he remembers.“When the scheduled speaker can-celed, I took some of my slides andgave a presentation on the occultabout the symbols, seals, words andterms used in theology, government,law, etc. It was video-taped by awoman in the audience; the talk ranfour hours but her tape ran out aftertwo. The tape got passed around and Igot over 70,000 letters from aroundthe world from people saying theyloved the tapes and asking where the

other two hours were!” If you’re curious about what those

folks found so fascinating, you’ll be in-terested to know that Maxwell will bespeaking at the upcoming Signs of Des-tiny II conference, a unique gatheringof thinkers, researchers and teachers,including Sir Laurence Gardner, Do-lores Cannon, Chet and Kallista Snowand Atlantis Rising editor J. DouglasKenyon. The second annual event willbe held November 21-23 at the Em-bassy Suites Hotel in Tempe, Arizona.Presenters will offer lectures, work-shops, videos, displays and photos,and participants will be able to join dis-cussion groups.

At nearly 63, Capricorn Maxwellsays his mind is nearly always in a stateof intellectual frenzy. “I’m like a madscientist,” he says, asking; “Why areyou here? How did you get here? Whatis the connection between electricityand water…your body is an electricalbattery that is mostly water. If you’rejust here to do your job, pay your bills,watch a little TV and have a couplebeers, that’s disgusting. Certain peoplehave come into this world ordained toaccomplish certain works. My dadused to say, ‘Don’t ever try to teach apig to sing. It will waste your time andirritate the pig.’ I’m not trying to intel-lectually arouse the world; I’m tryingto make information available to thosewho are interested in spiritual and in-tellectual development.” As we said,Maxwell likes to talk and is a wealth ofinformation. Just don’t bring up “yoursilly-ass basketball.” Maybe it’s the‘Jordan’ part?

erence to Hendaye in Canseliet’s worksprior to the mid 1950s? If the chapter isthe work of Champagne, then Canselietmust have known about it. This is not atrivial question. The Hendaye chapteris perhaps the single most astoundingesoteric work in Western history. It of-fers proof that alchemy is somehowconnected to eschatology, or thetiming of the end of the world. And itoffers the conclusion that a “double ca-tastrophe” is imminent. If Canseliet hadknown of this, he would surely haveused it, or at least mentioned it. Yet,the silence is complete and compelling.

“The Cyclic Cross at Hendaye” is thenext to last, or penultimate, chapter ofFulcanelli’s masterpiece. After wadingthrough thickets of erudition and pun-ning slang in the rest of Le Mystere, thischapter feels awash with the brightsunlight of its Basque setting. The de-scription of the monument and its loca-tion is seemingly clear and direct. Eventhe explanation of the monument’s ap-parent meaning is simple and virtuallyfree of the Green Language code usedthroughout the rest of the book. Or soit appears on the surface….

We can date Fulcanelli’s visit to Hen-daye to the early 1920s because of hiscomment on the “special attraction of anew beach, bristling with proud villas.”H. G. Wells, Aldous Huxley, and thesmart young London set discoverednearby St.-Jean-de-Luz in 1920 and by1926 or so the tourist villas had spreadas far south as Hendaye. Today, Hen-daye-Plage, Hendaye’s beachfront addi-tion, bustles with boutiques, diveshops and surfboard emporiums,having become a popular stopover forthe young international backpack-nomad crowd.

Although Fulcanelli declares, some-what disingenuously: “Hendaye hasnothing to hold the interest of thetourist, the archaeologist or the artist,”the region does have a rather curioushistory. A young Louis XIV met hisbride on an island in the bay belowHendaye, along the boundary betweenSpain and France. Wellington passedthrough, making nearby St.-Jean-de-Luzhis base of operation against Toulouseat the close of the Napoleonic Wars.Hitler also paid a visit during WorldWar II; in 1940 he parked his train carwithin walking distance of the cross atHendaye.

“Whatever its age, the Hendayecross shows by the decoration of itspedestal that it is the strangest monu-ment of primitive millenarism, therarest symbolical translation of Chi-laism, which I have ever met.” Comingfrom Fulcanelli, this is high praise in-

deed. He goes on to tell us “that the un-known workman, who made these im-ages, possessed real and profoundknowledge of the universe.”

The cross sits today in a very smallcourtyard just to the south of thechurch. There is a tiny garden with apark bench nearby. Standing about 12feet tall, the Cyclic Cross at Hendayelooms over the courtyard, a mysteriousapparition in the clear Basque sunlight.The monument is brown and discol-ored from its 300-plus years. The stoneis starting to crumble and it is obviousthat air pollution—the cross sits a fewyards from a busy street on the mainsquare—is speeding its dissolution. Theimages and the Latin inscription on thecross have no more than a generationleft before pollution wipes the imagesclean and the message disappearsforever.

The base of local sandstone sits on abroad but irregular three-step platform,and is roughly cubic. Measurement re-veals that it is a little taller than it iswide. On each face are curious sym-bols, a sun face glaring like some an-cient American sun god, a strangeshield-like arrangement of A’s in thearms of a cross, an eight-rayed star-burst, and most curious of all, an old-fashioned man-in-the-moon face with aprominent eye. Rising from this is afluted column, with a suggestion ofGreek classicism, on top of whichstands a very rudely done Greek crosswith Latin inscriptions. Above the sunface on the western side can be seen adouble X figure on the top portion ofthe cross. Below that, on the transversearm, is the common inscription, OCrux Aves /Pes Unica, “Hail, O Cross,the Only Hope.” On the reverse side ofthe upper cross, above the starburst, isthe Christian symbol INRI.

In “The Cyclic Cross at Hendaye”Fulcanelli gives us a guided tour of thismonument to the alchemy of time. Hebegins with the Latin inscription,which he interprets, in French from theLatin letters of the original, as: “It iswritten that life takes refuge in a singlespace.” Following this rendering, hecasually suggests that the phrase means“that a country exists, where deathcannot reach man at the terrible time ofthe double cataclysm.” What is more,only the elite will be able to find “thispromised land.”

Fulcanelli moves on to the INRI,concluding that: “…we have two sym-bolic crosses, both instruments of thesame torture. Above is the divine cross,exemplifying the chosen means of expi-ation; below is the global cross, fixingthe pole of the northern hemisphereand locating in time the fatal period ofthis expiation.” His esoteric interpreta-tion of INRI, “by fire is nature renewedwhole,” goes directly to the issue of


chiliasm and acleansing destructionas a prelude to a re-created and Edenicworld. Alchemy, ac-cording to Fulcanelli,is the very heart of es-chatology. Just asgold is refined, so willour age be refined—byfire.

Fulcanelli con-cludes the chapterwith a series of meta-phors: “The age ofiron has no other sealthan that of Death. Itshieroglyph is theskeleton, bearing theattributes of Saturn:the empty hourglass,symbol of time runout, and the scythe,reproduced in thefigure seven, which isthe number of trans-formation, of destruc-tion, of annihilation,”Fulcanelli instructsus. “The Gospel ofthis fatal age is theone written under theinspiration of St. Mat-thew… It is theGospel according to

science, the last of allbut for us the first, be-

cause it teaches usthat, save for a smallnumber of the elite,we must all perish.For this reason, theangel was made theattribute of St. Mat-thew, because sci-

ence, which alone iscapable of pene-

trating the mystery ofthings, of beings and

their destiny, can giveman wings to raise

him to knowledge ofthe highest truths andfinally to God.”

Because Fulcanelliso openly connected

alchemy and the apoc-alypse, the true na-

ture of a very specificGnostic astro-

alchemical memeemerged into publicconsciousness. This

meant that the secretwas no longer con-

tained among theelect societies. Forthe first time since

the age of the Gothiccathedrals, the meme

had broken out of its incubationalstructures.

In a way, the cross and its messageserve as proof that there are suchthings as secret societies. Foundthroughout history, these societies pre-serve and present the secret of thecross in various ways. The Kabbalah inJudaism, Sufic Islam, esoteric Chris-tianity, Gnosticism, and the Hermetictradition have been the keepers ofthese ideas. The central message of thethree main Western religions, that of aneschatological moment in time, is thesecret that also lies at the heart of thecross at Hendaye. The meme, theability to understand the myth and itsmetaphors, seems to have survived onlythrough the actions of these secret andinsular groups.

The Cross at Hendaye stands todayat the southwest corner of Saint Vin-cent’s Church, the busiest street cornerin town. No one notices the ordinarylooking monument with its message ofcatastrophe; perhaps it was intended tobe that way. The secret hides in plainsight…

unlimited amounts, with a loss not ex-ceeding a small fraction of one per-cent in the transmission, even to thegreatest distance, twelve thousandmiles—to the opposite end of theglobe.”

Tesla revolutionized our worldwith AC power in a way that DCpower could never have accom-plished, since the resistance of anytransmission lines, (except perhaps,superconductive ones), is prohibi-tive for direct current. He deservedmuch better treatment from the ty-coons of his age than to spend thelast 40 years of his life in abject pov-erty. However, he was too much of agentleman to hold a grudge. Instead,regarding the magnifying transmitter,Tesla wrote in his autobiography, “Iam unwilling to accord to somesmall-minded and jealous individualsthe satisfaction of having thwartedmy efforts. These men are to menothing more than microbes of anasty disease. My project was re-tarded by laws of nature. The worldwas not prepared for it. It was toofar ahead of time. But the samelaws will prevail in the end andmake it a triumphal success.”

Earth’s Renewable EnergyTesla’s world system activates the

earth’s renewable electrical storagebattery which normally sits dormantexcept during lightning strikes. Re-garding simply the electrostatic en-ergy storage capacity of the iono-sphere, Dr. Oleg Jefimenko, authorof Electrostatic Motors, explains thatduring one electric storm, the atmos-pheric electric field dissipates at least0.2 terawatts (billion kilowatts), indi-cating that the entire earth musthave even more total availableenergy.

Furthermore, the power loss ex-perienced by Tesla’s pulsed, electro-static discharge mode of propagationwas less than 5% over 25,000 miles.Dr. Van Voorhies states, “...pathlosses are 0.25 dB/Mm at 10 Hz,”which often is difficult for engineersto believe, who are used to trans-verse waves, a resistive medium, andline-of-sight propagation modes thatcan dissipate 10 dB/km at 5 MHz. Thecapacitive dome of the WardenclyffeTower, like the conductive balloon ofTesla’s ‘576 patent, is a key to the un-derstanding of the longitudinal waves.Dr. Rauscher quotes Tesla, “Later hecompared it to a Van de Graaff gener-ator. He also explained the purpose ofWardenclyffe...’one does not need tobe an expert to understand that a de-

from his experiments at ColoradoSprings in 1900, Nikola Tesla stated, “Ifwe use fuel to get our power, we areliving on our capital and exhaustingit rapidly. This method is barbarousand wantonly wasteful and will haveto be stopped in the interest of cominggenerations.” In view of our present

fossil-fuel-caused global warming,Tesla seems very prophetic from hisvantage point of a century ago.

High Transmission Integrity andLow Loss

Tesla states, “As to the transmis-sion of power through space, that isa project which I considered abso-lutely certain of success long since.Years ago I was in the position totransmit wireless power to any dis-tance without limit other than thatimposed by the physical dimensionsof the globe. In my system it makesno difference what the distance is.The efficiency of the transmissioncan be as high as 96 or 97 percent,and there are practically no losses ex-cept such as are inevitable in the run-ning of the machinery. When there isno receiver there is no energy con-sumption anywhere. When the re-ceiver is put on, it draws power.That is the exact opposite of theHertz-wave system. In that case, ifyou have a plant of 1,000 horse-power (750 kW), it is radiating all thetime whether the energy is receivedor not; but in my system no power islost. When there are no receivers,the plant consumes only a few horse-power necessary to maintain the vi-bration; it runs idle, as the Edisonplant when the lamps and motors areshut off.”

These amazing facts are explainedby Corum(s) and Spainol, “…the dis-tinction between Tesla’s system and‘Hertzian’ waves is to be clearly un-derstood. Tesla, and others of hisday, used the term ‘Hertzian waves’to describe what we call today en-ergy transfer by wireless transverseelectromagnetic (TEM) radiation…noone wants to stand in front of a highpower radar antenna. For these, Eand H are in phase, the power flow isa ‘real’ quantity (as opposed to reac-tive power), and the surface integralof E x H (Poynting vector) is non-zero. The case is not so simple in anunloaded power system, an RF trans-

former with a tuned secondary, or witha cavity resonator. In these situations,the fields are in phase quadrature, thecirculating power is reactive and theaverage Poynting flux is zero – unlessa load is applied. They deliver nopower without a resistive load. Theseare clearly the power systems whichTesla created. The polyphase powerdistribution system was created by him

vice of this kind is not a producer ofelectricity like a dynamo, but merelya receiver or collector with amplifyingqualities.’”

Only a few great physicists like Drs.Elizabeth Rauscher, James Corum, andKonstantin Meyl, have realized thatTesla was very practical when he pro-

posed the resonant generation andwireless transmission of useful elec-trical power. Tesla’s knowledge of at-mospheric electricity transduction wasso extensive and reliable that JimCorum, who has been funded to con-tinue Tesla’s work, recently told me,“You just have to do exactly what Telsadid and you will consistently get thesame results he did.” After returning

SHIRLEY MACLAINETHOTH’S MERKHETin the 1880s and inaugurated at Ni-agara Falls in 1895. The RF transformerwas invented and patented by him inthe 1890s. Terrestrial resonances he ex-perimentally discovered at the turn ofthe century. And, for the next 40 yearshe tried to bring through to commer-cial reality this global power system.

Biological and Economic ImpactAnother common criticism of the

Tesla wireless power system is re-garding its possible biological effects.Calculating the circulating reactivepower, Corum(s) and Spainol find adensity of a microVAR per cubic meterat 7.8 Hz, which is quite small, while itis well-known that such a frequency isvery biologically compatible. The au-thors also look at the present 100 V/mearth-ionosphere field and again findthat raising it by a factor of 4 to 10 willpose no ill effects. (Thunderstorms doit all of the time around the world.)

In terms of economic theory, manycountries will benefit from this service.Only private, dispersed receiving sta-tions will be needed. Just like televi-sion and radio, a single resonant energyreceiver is required, which may eventu-ally be built into appliances, so nopower cord will be necessary! Justthink: monthly electric utility bills fromold-fashioned, fossil-fueled, lossy elec-trified wire-grid delivery services willbe optional, much like “cable TV” istoday. In the 21st century, “Direct TV”is the rage, which is an exact parallel ofTesla’s “Direct Electricity.”

Let us fulfill this prophecy of Tesla,making it a triumphal success, by sup-porting a philanthropic, internationalwireless power station installed on a re-mote island to electrify the wholeworld. The benefits, immediatelymaking direct electricity available eve-rywhere, are too numerous to count.(Coincidentally, in Tesla’s homeland,the Electric Power Company of Serbiaraised their monthly rates by 50% onthe day Harnessing the Wheelwork ofNature was sent to the publisher,while California is now up to 15 centsper kWh, double the nation’s average.)

To operate Thoth’s merkhet, set itupon two level piers and wait for thePleiades to rise. Then, holding thenotched end against the corner stake,swivel the device left or right untilThuban and Alioth appear together inthe vertical slit sight as seen throughthe rear peep sight. When all isaligned, lower the plumb line,marking the point on the ground. Con-necting the plumb line mark, with thecorner stake, produces the north-south survey line, allowing the verticalstellar plan of the northern sky to fallhorizontally upon the ground at thetemple’s designated corner.

In the temple additions created byThutmose III at Karnak are foundationtexts that describe the king’s perfor-mance in the “Stretching of the Cordand the extension of the line, puttingit upon the ground,” on the day of theFeast of the New Moon. The texts indi-cate the king performs two related butseparate tasks. During the previousnight’s observations, he establishesthe building’s corner with the assis-tance of the god Thoth. The following

day he extends the north/south fine toform the structure’s layout with thehelp of the goddess Seshat. This wasaccomplished by stretching a loop ofcord around two stakes as shown inthe temple reliefs. In these scenes, theking and Seshat appear close together,but in reality they are quite far apart.The slightest misalignment of the ropeloop will appear as a space betweenthe stretched cord and the stakes. Ad-justing the loop until the cord touchesboth sides of the stakes tangentiallyprovides an accurate and straight foun-dation layout.

The temple’s orientation seems tohave involved three distinct opera-tions. First, the east/west line was sur-veyed using the shadow of a gnomenand then extended, probably formingthe structure’s centerline. Night obser-vations of appropriate stars created thenorth/south survey line, denoting an-other centerline at right angles to thefirst and extended as needed. Sinceeach observation was most likely per-formed several times for accuracy,these operations could easily havetaken the seven to fifteen days allottedby the Egyptians. These three perfor-mances, solar observation, stellar ob-servation and stretching of the cordwere repeated as and where needed,until all of the structure’s foundationlines were established, allowing templeconstruction to commence.

JOAN OF ARC

Continued from Page 40piction shows a winged creature withthe head of a male goat on a humantorso, with female breasts and a mid-forehead star. It is presenting a brightmoon “above” and a dark moon“below,” a very telling Hermeticimage. Considered by some to be Ba-phomet, the entity the Templars wereaccused of worshipping, it waits 18years to appear again in the life ofJoan.

When Joan is received by the Dau-phin, on March 6, Venus is riding theback of Capricorn, and in “Henry VI” amessenger brings news of Joan as “aholy prophetess new risen up.” In aninitiatory rite of the Freemasons, a fra-ternity thought to have continued thelegacy of the Templars, initiates are“raised” into the order from a symbolicdeath, and one of the persistent talestold about the rite is that initiates mustalso ride the back of a goat.

But back to Joan’s nativity.As the sun set in the west, the

Orion constellation rose in the east.Since I have covered Orion’s signifi-cance in previous articles, I will not doso here—except to add that tiny anddistant Pluto sat above Orion’s headlike an invisible crown.

To Orion’s left the planet Neptune,God of the Oceans, separated theGemini twins, and the Twelfth Day ofChristmas became Twelfth Night—thenight that Joan was born. One hourafter sunset, weather permitting, Orionand Gemini would be shining brightlyin the eastern sky.

Scholars have long argued the sig-nificance of Shakespeare’s title“Twelfth Night, or What You Will”since the play offers no explanation. Itis the story of twins, male and female,who are separated by a storm at sea,each thinking the other has drowned.The woman masquerades as a manand, until the end of the play, there ismuch gender confusion, with a littlecross-dressing thrown in for goodmeasure.

Since the historical record conven-iently tells us that Joan was born onTwelfth Night, it’s interesting that Nep-tune, named after the god of theoceans, separated the Gemini twins onthe night of her birth, just as Shake-speare’s twins were separated by astorm at sea.

Methinks perchance the Bard’smighty quill writ two tales—one hiddenin the other!

Next to the King James Bible, com-missioned by Britain’s first officiallyFreemasonic king, no books have en-joyed greater sales figures than WilliamShakespeare’s. And yet their author-

ship remains hotly debated. A top con-tender as the author/editor of bothworks is Francis Bacon, the English phi-losopher who lived contemporane-ously. Thought to have played a keyrole in the birth of the Rosicrucians—anesoteric brotherhood with Templar andFreemasonic ties—Francis may have se-cretly worked to put in place a systemwhereby “lost” knowledge might even-tually be rediscovered. He also sharesresonant connections with the Twins.

Bacon’s coat of arms shows two sol-diers—likely Castor and Pollux, theGemini twins. His motto, “mediocriafirma,” has been interpreted as “themiddle ground is safest.” In an agewhen heresy could get you burned atthe stake, perhaps Francis was just pro-tecting himself by not taking credit forsaying too much too soon—preferringto let his rather milquetoast mottospeak sterner stuff in times to come.

In the 572 years since Joan’s death,historians have been plagued by twopesky groups of revisionists—the “bas-tardizers” and the “survivalists.” Thebastardizers claim that Joan was not asimple shepherdess, but was in fact theillegitimate daughter of Queen Isabeauand her brother-in-law, Louis of Or-léans, making Joan the half-sister of theDauphin and also, consequently, theaunt of Henry VI of England throughthe marriage of the Dauphin’s sister toHenry V. The survivalists claim thatJoan escaped execution thanks to thesecret efforts of Joan’s principal judge,Pierre Cauchon, and others in the Eng-lish camp.

Within 25 years of Joan’s executionseveral brave souls claim to be Joan ofArc. It is interesting that one of these“impostors” was pardoned in 1457 byno less a personage than René d’Anjou,Joan’s companion at arms and titularKing of Jerusalem.

It is highly unlikely that Joan wasborn on the day that history accepts—aday when the heavens were so oh-so-conveniently arranged. It is more prob-able that she was born earlier, and thendelivered to foster parents on that as-tronomically auspicious day—for therecord. It is also more probable thatJoan of Arc’s miraculous career was or-chestrated by the will of a cognoscenti

that followed a mutually agreed-uponsecret agenda from opposite sides ofthe battlefield—a brotherhood thatcounted the many thousands of en-suing war casualties as acceptable col-lateral damage—and which would con-tinue to quietly promote a spirit ofnationalistic and adversarial competi-tion that would become very usefulwhen the time came to divvy up andpopulate the New World soon to be“discovered” to the west.

The first cartographic appearance ofthe name “America” appears on MartinWaldseemüller’s 1507 map producedunder the patronage of Duke Renéd’Anjou II, who had inherited the titleKing of Jerusalem from his grandfather.The map has recently been purchasedby the U.S. Library of Congress for $5million and will be the “crown jewel”of its map collection. Caveat Emptor!

Finally, while the positions of thesix “ancient” planets on Joan’s “offi-cial” birthday could have been easilypredicted at the time, the positions ofthe three “modern planets” shouldhave been problematic. Uranus, con-veniently on the head of the goat,would not be discovered until 1781;Neptune, between the Twins, in 1850;and Pluto, above Orion’s head, in 1933.Hmm!

Perhaps they were simply allowedto be prudently re-discovered, whenthe time was right!

Francis Bacon wrote: “I begin to beweary of the sun. I have shaken handswith delight, and know all is vanity,and I think no man can live well oncebut he that could live twice. For mypart I would not live over my hourspast, or begin again the minutes of mydays; not because I have not lived well,but for fear that I should live themworse. I envy no man that knows morethan myself, but pity them that knowless. Now, in the midst of all my endea-vours there is but one thought that de-jects me, that my acquired parts mustperish with myself, nor can be legaciedamongst my dearly beloved and hon-oured friends.”

Although the girl whose bodyclimbed the sky in a plume of smokeover Rouen on May 30, 1431, maynever be known for who she truly was,she might someday be known for whoshe was not. Francis Bacon, in his way,made sure of it.

“All the world’s a stage, and all themen and women merely players.”Indeed!

TEMPLAR PIRATES

Continued from Page 43Supper (Grail Chalice) or incredibly,the Ark of the Covenant. Both were ru-mored to be in their possession,though most historians consider it, asmost of the Holy Grail material, to bemere fantasy.

Bradley agrees with Baigent andLeigh that the Templar fleet sailednorth through the Irish Sea to theirfinal destination: the western fiords ofScotland, carefully avoiding the Irishcoast because of pro-Vatican control ofthose ports. They landed in variousareas north of present-day Glasgow, inthe environment of Oban. Here Tem-plar graves were marked with the fa-miliar symbols of the skull and cross-bones, now known as the Jolly Roger.The renegade Templar fleet was nowunder the control of the Saint Clair(Sinclair) family of Rosslyn, and thenaval war between the Templars andthe Vatican was to begin in earnest.

The fleet was to be split into twodifferent parts; one would anchor inthe Orkneys and prepare for Sinclair’sambitious journeys to North America.The other was to fly the skull andcrossbones and sail the Atlantic andMediterranean as a naval force to at-tack ships associated with the Vaticanand their allies.

Says Bradley, “An upsurge in Euro-pean piracy begins from this time andthe pattern of it suggests that many pi-rates were not mere freebooters whowould attack anyone, but very curious‘pirates’ who confined their attentionsto Vatican and loyal Catholicshipping.”

Later British seamen, such asFrancis Drake would elevate “piracy”to big business. Once the Inquisitionhad been installed in Spain, Drakepreyed only upon Spanish-Catholicships. When the Spanish Inquisitionwas established in the New World after1492, the Templar “pirates” spreadtheir attacks to the Caribbean andeventually even to Pacific ports in Peruand Mexico, all in the name of a navalwar being waged for over 200 years.

This was the mystique of the earlypirates: they were essentially a secretnavy that was not supposed to exist.This navy had even been in the NewWorld nearly a century before theSpanish. Their flag was to become thesymbol of Masons and pirates alike: theskull and crossbones—known world-wide as the Jolly Roger.

The Kingdom of the Jolly RogerBecause the Templars could not fly

their original flag—a red cross on awhite background—they began to fly anew flag, essentially the war flag of an

almost vanquished navy. While some ofthe fleet was absorbed into the Portu-guese navy and flew the Portugueseflag, the other ships, usually com-manded by French or English captains,flew a black flag with a skull andcrossbones.

The Jolly Roger was named afterRoger II of Sicily (1095-1154). Rogerhad reputedly been associated with theTemplars during the crusades, and con-quered Apulia and Salerno in A.D.1127, despite opposition from Pope In-nocent II. He was crowned king ofSicily by Antipope Anacletus II in A.D.1130. Innocent eventually yielded andinvested Roger with the lands he al-ready possessed. Roger established astrong central administration, largelyfree of Rome, and his brilliant court atPalermo was a center of arts, letters,and sciences. His court was full ofdancers, music and entertainers, and hewas known as “Jolly Roger.” In manyways, the Renaissance began at “jolly”Roger’s court.

His fight with the Pope was wellknown, especially to seafarers andtraders. Roger also established a naviga-tional school on Sicily, one isolatedfrom the Vatican by both the sea andhis fleet, which invited Jewish and Is-lamic geographers as consultants. TheArabic geographer, Ibn Idrisi, was at-tracted to his court and produced a “ce-lestial disc” and a “terrestrial disc,”both in silver, which represented re-spectively all the astronomical and geo-graphic knowledge of the day. Idrisiand Roger also produced the importantnavigational treatise called the Al Ro-jari. Roger was fond of Islamic and an-cient Hebrew love-poetry, with a tastefor beautiful women to match the allu-sions in it.

Roger, through the Arab geogra-phers in his court, also began to gethold of important maps that the Mus-lims had acquired from libraries such asthe one at Alexandria in Egypt.

The Rise of Piracy After theSuppression of the Templars

Bradley maintains that the Templardispersion caused immediate repercus-sions in Europe of which the upsurge

of “piracy” in the 14th and 15th centu-ries was the first.

A second consequence was thatwherever the Templars dispersed withsome cohesion, voyages of Atlantic ex-ploration immediately followed. In Por-tugal, the Templars didn’t go under-ground at all, they merely changedtheir name to the “Knights of Christ.”King Alfonso IV immediately becamethis “new” Order’s Grand Master. Is itmere coincidence that Alfonso shortlybegan to send Portuguese ships intothe Atlantic?

Prince Henry the Navigator con-tinued his father’s tradition of Atlanticexploration. He was also a GrandMaster of the renamed Templar Orderin Portugal.

Templars who fled to Scotland werealso able to maintain cohesion underthe protection of the famous Sinclairs.In Scotland, apparently, the Templarschose not to organize themselves into anew Order of knighthood but electedinstead to spread their secret doctrinemore widely by creating Freemasonry,again under the leadership of the pow-erful Saint-Clairs. Is it sheer coinci-dence that voyages to the west set outfrom Scotland within a generation afterTemplars had established themselvesthere?

After the persecution of the Tem-plars and the disappearance of theirfleet, pirates plied the Atlantic and theMediterranean under their trademark—the Jolly Roger. They attacked onlySpanish, French, and Italian ships, orothers allied to Rome. Portuguese shipswere largely safe—because it wasknown that Portugal was a safe havenfor Templars!

Authors such as Baigent, Lincolnand Bradley maintain that the “skulland crossbones” carved on many Tem-plar and Freemason gravestones isnothing but the old Templar “crosspattee” rendered in human skeletal ma-terial, with the knobs of the leg-bonesbeing the pattees of the Templar cross.The message of the skull and cross-bones is abundantly clear, says Bradley:a “neo-Templar” vow to oppose theRoman Church to the death, and thusthe symbolism of human bones onboth the flag and the Templar and Free-mason gravestones.

The secret naval war with the Vat-ican had begun—a war that was to en-compass transatlantic empires, vasttreasure troves and pirate attacks thatinvolved entire fleets.

CASING STONES

Continued from Page 45breaking apart the intact casing. Theyonly managed to break up enoughstones to create a passageway.

An examination of the documentedhistorical and cultural setting in whichthis alleged stone pilferage took placeraises many doubts about the veracityof the popularly accepted history.Cairo had been in a boom phase formany centuries leading up to the1300s. The population is estimated tohave reached 500,000. A buildingboom accompanied this rise in popula-tion. Then in 1346 a black plague epi-demic struck the city. The epidemicwiped out about half the populationvery swiftly with devastating social con-sequences that lasted for centu-ries.

Three questions arise: Whydidn’t the local population ran-sack the pyramids of Gizaduring the hundreds of yearsprior to the fourteenth century?That is when they most neededbuilding materials. We saw thatone Sultan failed in his attempt.That would not have been for-gotten. Would Sultan Hasanhave raided the pyramids onthe heels of the plague? Couldhis workmen have done the dis-mantling job?

These issues have neverbeen addressed and the prob-lems they pose are complexand formidable. We must ad-dress the physical realities of the pro-posed dismantling process first. Theouter casing stones were precision-cut,four to 15-ton blocks of Tura limestone.They were carefully measured and pre-cisely fitted so that the exterior formeda smooth, nearly seamless shell. Finally,the blocks were cemented togetherwith a very strong mortar.

This presents a severe challenge tothe dismantling thesis. Climbing to thetop would have been a dangerous ven-ture. They could have built a lattice-likewooden structure across the face butthat would have required scarce woodand been dangerous as well. Therewould not have been any footholds forworkmen to stabilize themselves onwhile working and a ladder would havehelped very little during the actual dis-mantling procedure. For the moment,the foregoing assumes that the casingwas intact, as historical accounts seemto concur.

Assuming, for the sake of the argu-ment, that the Sultan dispatched a crewup the pyramid, they would have beenfaced with the daunting task ofbreaking up the blocks and finding away to dislodge them and get them to

the ground. The sheer size and the factthey were bonded together wouldhave made this a time-consuming,backbreaking and nearly impossiblejob.

It has been argued that these stoneswere so well cut and finished that itwould have been worth the effort to re-move them. Proponents of this argu-ment claim that once the workers wereup the pyramid they could haveshoved the blocks down the slopespeeding up the job. On closer inspec-tion these ideas do not hold water. Thedismantling job would have severelydamaged the stones. The thesis necessi-tates obliterating the fine stonema-sonry work; letting the blocks slidedown would have crushed the pave-ment below and further ruined theblocks.

There are no signs that the pave-ment was destroyed in this manner andno indications that a dismantling pro-cess ever damaged the inner coreblocks. We should expect to see evi-dence of both of these conditions if thelooting scenario of the intact casingdid, in fact, occur.

This brings the Sultan’s cost/benefitthinking into the equation. Whatwould he have gained by sending hismen to Giza to dismantle the pyramidsand ruin the white limestone blocks inthe process? He could have simply dis-patched his crew to Tura, which wascloser, to quarry fresh blocks.

It appears that no net advantagewould have been achieved by strippingthe casing off the pyramid. The ex-treme work conditions, time to dis-mantle, and damage to the blocks areonly some of the most obvious draw-backs. Once the blocks were on theground he would have needed to hire acrew of stonemasons to dress theminto a usable shape. No one wouldwant to haul more weight in damagedand misshapen stones than absolutelynecessary. Would the Sultan want touse up his valuable time and financial

resources in this manner? The sheer volume and mass of

stones is another issue that needs to beaddressed and it expands to includeKafre’s pyramid as well as the pyramidsat Dahshur and Abusir. An estimated140,000 casing stones with a projectedmass of a half a million tons adornedthe Great Pyramid. The time to dis-mantle, dress, and haul this masonryinto Cairo would have taken manyyears. Hasan lacked the large work-force that the pyramid builders had.His crew would not have had theramps (alleged by Egyptologists) tomake the job easier or quicker.

All of the above factors cast doubton the notion that the locals removedthe casings while intact from the pyra-mids. It would not have been worththe time and effort. This assertion is

greatly strengthened by anumber of compelling facts: a)Cairo’s population remainedstable for 500 hundred yearsduring the Ottoman rule. Therewas little demand for newbuilding materials. b) When allthe pyramids are taken intoconsideration, millions of tonsof casing stones have to be ac-counted for in Cairo’s build-ings. They cannot be.

In addition, the number ofcasing stones on the Giza pyra-mids would have far exceededHasan’s needs and they wouldhave required years of effort toobtain. The history of the con-struction of Cairo’s Mosques isquite well documented. The

record shows that the Sultan ran intomoney problems after three years ofconstruction of his Mosque. But sincethis story is used by Egyptologists toexplain the absence of casing stoneson all the pyramids in the region, wehave to multiply the work and time in-volved many times over.

We must acknowledge some grossdeficiencies in the historical accountsregarding the casings. All observersright up to the fourteenth century re-ported seeing the casing stones on theGreat Pyramid. But none reportedwhether the entire pyramid was cov-ered with casing stones or just portionsof its walls. We are also never informedabout their condition. Were they fullyintact like those on the north corner orwere some badly damaged like thoseon the south corner?

Those omissions have led to someunquestioned assumptions. Mostpeople seem to think that the pyr-amid’s shell was completely intact and“shining like a jewel” as it had the dayit was finished until the fourteenth cen-tury. That is an undocumented andvery romantic notion. Early historians,like Herodotus, are known to have em-

Wind eroded stones at the south end of the Great Pyramid.(Photo: John de Salvo)


bellished their accounts often fabri-cating descriptions out of whole cloth.

The accounts of an intact pyramidare clearly not factual for we knowthat Al Mamoun did damage to a por-tion of it long before the 1300s. Howmuch other unreported damage didthe informants from the tenth throughthe early fourteenth centuries fail togive for the sake of romance? WhenNapoleon arrived in 1798 the Sphinxwas buried in sand up to its neck andthe Great Pyramid was surrounded byheaps of rubble. Later explorers suchas Colonel Howard Vyse and FlindersPetrie describe similar conditions, al-though the Sphinx had been partiallyexcavated by the time they arrived onthe scene.

Petrie describes his 1881 investiga-tions in the following account: “Thenext business was to find the casingand pavement of the Great Pyramid, inother parts beside that on the N facediscovered by Vyse: the latter part hadbeen uncovered, just when I requiredit, in 1881, by a contractor, who tookthe chips of casing from the heaps onthe N face to mend the road…On thethree other sides the Arabs had someyears ago cut away a large part of theheaps of casing chips, in search ofpieces which would do for villagebuilding. Thus the heaps were reduced

from about 35 to only 20 feet in depth,over the middle of the base sides of thepyramid; though they were nottouched at their highest parts, about 40or 50 feet up the sloping side of thePyramid.”

It is clear that Petrie was faced withmounds of fallen casing stones thatstood between him and his inspectionof the pavement beneath the heaps.This took place almost 600 years afterHasan was alleged to have requisi-tioned the casing. If Hasan stripped thecasing, why did he leave so much be-hind? We are also informed that thelocal (Arabs) had been lessening the de-bris over the years, probably over manycenturies. Does this fit the stone-looting scenario that has the intactcasing being stripped off?

Petrie was known for his accurateobservations, thoroughness and atten-tion to detail. The picture he paintssimply does not support the lootingstory. Why would Hasan’s men or anysubsequent stone thieves have leftheaps of rubble surrounding the pyr-amid? How could they have strippedoff the upper casing and navigatedthrough 40- to 50-foot piles while car-rying huge blocks? Petrie describes nav-igating in these heaps to sink shafts insearch of intact casing stones and thepavement below as a perilous venture.Why would the Arabs have left behind

intact stones on the bottom (Petriefound a number) and removed thosefrom the top?

The scenario defies logic on manylevels. Petrie continued his explora-tions by sinking shafts through thepiles of casing stone debris. “The Eastand South casing was seriously weath-ered away; on the East it was only de-fined by the pavement being wornaway on its ancient edge; and on theSouth it was found to be even hol-lowed out…”

He found intact casing blocks butonly on the north side of the bottomtier. The blocks left on the south sidewere severely eroded. Why have inves-tigators ignored examining and ex-plaining these eroded blocks versusthe intact blocks? From these observa-tions a different story begins to emergethat is more coherent and does not de-mand that the Arabs climb every pyr-amid to deface and strip off the ‘intact’casing. The reason Petrie found casingstones on the bottom is because theyhad been buried under sand and thedebris of eroding casing stones for avery long time. The damaged and wornblocks he found testify to their havingfallen apart due to weathering.

There’s more to this story, but itwill have to await inclusion in a futurearticle.



AMAZONS

significant, then, that at the festivaldedicated annually to Athene, the Pana-thenaea, dancers wore the peplum, akind of broad, flouncing skirt deco-rated with scenes from the Greek warwith Atlantis. No less cogent was theidentical story preserved at the templeof Neith, an Egyptian incarnation of thesame Amazonian goddess.

The three “Mounds of the Amazons”in which Diodorus reports she interredher dead warriors actually exist, andare still pointed out by local tour-guides. Today, Moroccan Berbers tellstories of Al Azoun, “The People ofAzoun,” great women soldiers whoconquered North Africa thousands ofyears before Islam. Amazigh is Berberfor “noble language”, referring to theforgotten tongue of the Amazons.

Plato’s Atlantis account contains in-ternal evidence for an Amazonian con-nection. He states that the first lady ofthe Atlantean island was Leukippe, or“White Mare.” an apparent reference tothe foaming waves of the sea. Varia-tions among other Amazon names areMelanippe (“Black Mare”), Lysippe(“Who Lets Loose the Horses”), or Hip-polyte, described by Claudian as“leading her snow-white, beautifultroops into battle.” Plato stresses Atlan-tean devotion to horses, including theirown baths. The whole second land-ringof Atlantis was a race-track.

Leukippe’s name is part of ancienttraditions associating the white horse,particularly the mare, with royalty anddivinity. Troy’s sacred horses, outfittedwith gold and silver trappings, werepure white, and early worshipers atPontus harnessed a chariot to fourwhite horses, which were driven intothe sea as a sacrifice to Poseidon. Thesea-god who invented the animal wasalso credited with the creation of At-lantis, where his colossal statue stoodamong four winged horses at the city’ssacred center. Images of the horsewere the leading emblems of the Ama-zons, as well. The Amazonian lunargoddess, Artemis, rode a white steed,and Arabs still refer to a white horse as“moon colored.”

Like the Cerne-Abbas Giant, the hill-sides of Britain still preserve images ofthe sacred white horse cut into a chalklevel just beneath the surface of theground. The most famous of these isthe Uffington example, in Dorset. At374 feet long and 120 feet high, it maybe seen from as far as twelve milesaway, even after countless centuries,because local residents regularly clearoff the out-line. The same activity longago involved surrounding communitiesin an old ceremony known as

“Scouring the Horse.”Every seven years, people defined

its outline with a commemorative pro-cession, preserving the image as theyhonored it. Until the mid-1990s, theWhite Horse of Uffington was generallyconsidered a remnant of Celtic ritualpractices going back no earlier thanthe 3rd century B.C. However, its elon-gated design suggested comparableBronze Age renditions, a suspicion con-firmed when improved dating proce-dures revealed that the hill-figure wasactually about 3,500 years old.

The effigy represents a British ver-sion of the Atlantean Leukippe—Ceridwen, a sea-goddess who likewiseruled over a distant realm, and was re-ferred to by Druidical bards as the“White Mare.” The renowned authorand mythologist, Robert Graves, toldhow “the goddess will suddenly trans-form herself into a mare. She often fig-ures as the White Lady, and in ancientreligions from the British Isles to theCaucasus as the White Goddess. Her in-carnation at the Greek Argos was as Io,daughter of the flood-hero, Inachus. Amoon-goddess, she bore Epaphus,whose name signifies “the Beginning,”the founder of Memphis and Libya. Shewas also worshiped as Leukippe, andgave her title, “the White Goddess,” topre-Celtic Britain: Albion, the WhiteLand. These complementary Greek andBritish mythic figures feature distincttraces of Atlantean origins, with theirthemes of the flood and far-off realms.

On the other side of the oceanwhich took its name from the drownedrealm, Ixchel was the “White Lady,”the divine founder of Maya civilization,who arrived on the shores of Yucatanfollowing a terrible deluge that de-stroyed a former age. She is sometimesportrayed in temple art scooting on agigantic wave, which scatters her pos-sessions across the surface of the sea.This same Atlantis-like theme is takenup again along the eastern shores ofMexico, in the coastal regions of post-Maya people, the Huaxtecs. Their armyfeatured auxiliary troops, women war-riors, led by Tlazolteotl. Her namemeant “the Woman Who Sinned Beforethe Deluge.” Their weapons, like thoseof their Amazonian sisters, were thebow and snake-skin shield. The Guay-aqui Indians of far-off Paraguay also

told of female warriors dressed insnake-skins.

According to the mestizo chroni-cler, Enrique Camargo, Tlazolteotlcame from “a very pleasant land, a de-lectable place, where are many de-lightful fountains, brooks and flowergardens. This land was called Tamoan-chan, the Place of the Fresh, CoolWinds.” It was here that Tlazolteotlcommitted some offense against thegods, who destroyed the Place of theFresh, Cool Winds with a terrific flood.Sailing with a remnant of her warriorwomen, she eventually arrived on theshores near Veracruz.

Greek myth recounted that Hera-cles dealt the Amazons their worst de-feat and drove them far from theirhomeland, beyond the known world,after he stole the girdle of their leader,Hippolyte. The fate of the Huaxtecwomen warriors seems to logicallycomplete the Greek story of their Euro-pean counterparts. Here, too, Heraclesmakes his appearance. Could the Ama-zons he pursued have crossed theocean from Tamoanchan-Atlantis be-fore its destruction, arriving on theMexican coast? Were Tlazolteotl andHippolyte the same person? In anycase, it seems remarkable that two“myths” from such diverse cultures atopposite ends of the world should socompliment each other, even to the in-clusion of Tamoanchan-Atlantis. In-deed, Camargo’s description of Ta-moanchan compares with the balmy,mid-ocean climate Atlantis enjoyed inPlato’s account. Parallels between theHuaxtec and Greek versions defy coin-cidence to define a real transfer of in-formation or mutual experience fromone continent to the other.

The Amazons were almost certainlynot women warriors. The image is toomythic for reality, although they mayhave been led by an actual queen.Egypt, after all, had its real-life femalerulers, most notably, Hatshepsut,around 1500 B.C. While Diodorus Sic-ulus was in Maretania learning aboutthe Amazon invasion of Atlantis, theNorth African kingdom was effectivelyruled by Cleopatra Selene. Most likely,the Amazons represented a militaryforce composed in the usual mannerby men who worshiped a bellicosegoddess like the Greek Athene or theEgyptian Neith. Even today, among theMoroccan Tuaregs already cited fortheir Amazonian traditions, male fol-lowers of the Atlas Mountain goddesssometimes wear skirts and veils in rev-erent imitation of women.

This interpretation of the strangestory recounted by Diodorus is sug-gested by the details of its internal evi-dence. If correct, he has preservedwhat would have been a forgotten epi-sode in the history of Atlantis.

Virgo combines the “worldly” god ofthe sky with the innocent earthmaiden who holds the symbol of theharvest. In this combined influence weexperience the vagaries of weatherand the danger of a lost harvest. Wheatis a cultivated crop which must be re-

moved from the chaff to be consumed.A deeper meaning is hinted at here,pointing us toward the adaptive pro-cess involved in metamorphosis fromordinary human to spiritual adept. Forthis process to occur, the resplendentpeacock, strutting his iridescentplumage morphs into a humble Indianmaiden, wearing a single eagle featherand dancing to bring the rain.

Jupiter wants to expand his knowl-edge through “big experiences,” but itis through the powers of assimilationand synthesis that wisdom is gained.Jupiter is the co-ruler, with Neptune,of the twelfth sign, Pisces. Jupiter istherefore said to be in a place of weak-ness in the opposite and earthy signVirgo. I believe there are pricelesspearls to be found in the so-called plan-etary detriments (opposite of ruler-

ships). When the energies don’t blendwell the gods are uncomfortable. It isjust such discomfort which causes themollusk to coat an irritating grain ofsand, thereby creating a beautiful pearlof great price. Jupiter in Virgo is un-likely to consider that greater ease andmaterial comfort do not necessarily re-sult in great and visionary human be-ings.

DISCOVERY OF ATLANTIS:The Startling Case for the

Island of CyprusRobert Sarmast

Plato provided 53 physicalclues in his famous dialogue Cri-tias—the original account of thestory of Atlantis that is the solebasis of all Atlantis research.This book proves that the islandof Cyprus and the underwaterlandscape just south of Cyprus isa perfect match with 51 of these clues. Exclusive 3D bath-ymetric maps, based on new scientific data, show for thefirst time a stretch of sunken land off of Cyprus. The gen-eral layout of the landscape of Atlantis as described byPlato is easily discernible on this underwater landmass, aswell as the precise location of its capital—Atlantis City.This robust empirical data is joined with other originalfindings based on mythological analysis and historical re-search, making the case for Cyprus increasingly obvious.

ALIEN ENERGY: UFOs,Ritual Landscapes andthe Human MindAndrew Collins

Are UFOs really alienhardware piloted by extrater-

restrial beings? Collins ex-plores a fascinating, alterna-tive theory, an entirely newperspective on the reality of

abduction experiences—seeing them as multi-

dimensional encounters withconscious energy forms of light. He puts forth the ideathat unknown aerial phenomena and other sustained light-forms are the outer manifestations of a more primary en-ergy, which today quantum physicists recognize as themulti-dimensional superforce, or the unified field. Theseatmospheric and ground-based energy forms appear topossess an independent consciousness and intelligence in-teracting with the human mind through archetypal inter-vention and symbols. They are connected to ceremoniallandscapes, especially to crop circle manifestations nearAvebury and Silbury Hill.

Unlike other Egyptian tombs de-signed to keep intruders out, Tomb 55 was constructed tokeep something imprisoned within, specifically Smenkh-kare, the older brother of Tutankhamun, who was deemedresponsible for the ten plagues in Egyptian history, to pre-vent such tragedies from ever happening again. The fo-rensic findings from this tomb prove that the mask be-lieved to be the face of Tutankhamun is actually that ofSmenkhkare.

HEBREW PHARAOHSOF EGYPT: The SecretLineage of thePatriarch JosephAhmed Osman (“Mosesand Akhenaten”)—

When Joseph revealed hisidentity to his kinsmenwho had sold him into

slavery, he told them thatGod had made him “a fa-

ther to Pharaoh.”Throughout the long his-

tory of ancient Egypt, onlyone man is known to have been given the title “a father toPharaoh”—Yuya, a vizier of the eighteenth dynasty king,Tuthmosis IV. This sheds a whole new light on the suddenrise of monotheism in Egypt, spearheaded by Queen Tiyeand her son Akhenaten, clearly explaining the deliberateobliteration of references to the “heretic” king and his suc-cessors by the last eighteenth dynasty pharaoh, Horemheb,whom the author believes was the oppressor king in theBook of Exodus.

Adrian Gilbert—Many students of history believe thatsomewhere in the world there exists a brotherhood, ororder of initiates, secretly guiding the destiny of human-kind. Evidence suggests that the Magi, the three wise menwho visited Jesus soon after his birth, were part of thisbrotherhood, and that, using their knowledge of the stars,they were expecting the birth of a messiah in 7 B.C., thehistorical year of Jesus’ birth, and may have acted as sym-bolic midwives for the event.

The quotation thus has fundamentalimplications for both history and theology because it ex-plains why the Tabernacle and the Ark of the Covenantwere constructed, why the biblical exodus started, whereMt. Sinai was located, who the god of the Israelites was—indeed, it even explains exactly who the Israelites reallywere and thus why the Torah, Bible and Koran werewritten.
