NUMBER 9 THE SEARCH FOR THE SIGMA CODE Cecil Balmond 1998 Cycles and Patterns Page 165 Patterns "The essence of mathematics is to look for patterns. Our minds seem to be organised to search for relationships and sequences. We look for hidden orders. These intuitions seem to be more important than the facts themselves, for there is always the thrill at finding something, a pattern, it is a discovery - what was unknown is now revealed. Imagine looking up at the stars and finding the zodiac! Searching out patterns is a pure delight. Suddenly the counters fall into place and a connection is found, not necessarily a geometric one, but a relationship between numbers, pictures of the mind, that were not obvious before. There is that excitement of finding order in something that was otherwise hidden. And there is the knowledge that a huge unseen world lurks behind the facades we see of the numbers themselves."
THE DEATH OF GODS IN ANCIENT EGYPT Jane B. Sellars 1992 Page 204 "The overwhelming awe that accompanies the realization, of the measurable orderliness of the universe strikes modern man as well. Admiral Weiland E. Byrd, alone In the Antarctic for five months of polar darkness, wrote these phrases of intense feeling: Here were the imponderable processes and forces of the cosmos, harmonious and soundless. Harmony, that was it! I could feel no doubt of oneness with the universe. The conviction came that the rhythm was too orderly, too harmonious, too perfect to be a product of blind chance - that, therefore there must be purpose in the whole and that man was part of that whole and not an accidental offshoot. It was a feeling that transcended reason; that went to the heart of man's despair and found it groundless. The universe was a cosmos, not a chaos; man was as rightfully a part of that cosmos as were the day and night.10 Returning to the account of the story of Osiris, son of Cronos god of' Measurable Time, Plutarch takes, pains to remind the reader of the original Egyptian year consisting of 360 days. Phrases are used that prompt simple mental. calculations and an attention to numbers, for example, the 360-day year is described as being '12 months of 30 days each'. Then we are told that, Osiris leaves on a long journey, during which Seth, his evil brother, plots with 72 companions to slay Osiris: He also secretly obtained the measure of Osiris and made ready a chest in which to entrap him. The, interesting thing about this part of the-account is that nowhere in the original texts of the Egyptians are we told that Seth, has 72 companions. We have already been encouraged to equate Osiris with the concept of measured time; his father being Cronos. It is also an observable fact that Cronos-Saturn has the longest sidereal period of the known planets at that time, an orbit. of 30 years. Saturn is absent from a specific constellation for that length of time. A simple mathematical fact has been revealed to any that are even remotely sensitive to numbers: if you multiply 72 by 30, the years of Saturn's absence (and the mention of Osiris's absence prompts one to recall this other), the resulting product is 2,160: the number of years required, for one 30° shift, or a shift: through one complete sign of the zodiac. This number multplied by the / Page205 / 12 signs also gives 25,920. (And Plutarch has reminded us of 12) If you multiply the unusual number 72 by 360, a number that Plutarch mentions several times, the product will be 25,920, again the number of years symbolizing the ultimate rebirth. This 'Eternal Return' is the return of, say, Taurus to the position of marking the vernal equinox by 'riding in the solar bark with. Re' after having relinquished this honoured position to Aries, and subsequently to the to other zodiacal constellations. Such a return after 25,920 years is indeed a revisit to a Golden Age, golden not only because of a remarkable symmetry In the heavens, but golden because it existed before the Egyptians experienced heaven's changeability. But now to inform the reader of a fact he or she may already know. Hipparaus did: not really have the exact figures: he was a trifle off in his observations and calculations. In his published work, On the Displacement of the Solstitial and Equinoctial Signs, he gave figures of 45" to 46" a year, while the truer precessional lag along the ecliptic is about 50 seconds. The exact measurement for the lag, based on the correct annual lag of 50'274" is 1° in 71.6 years, or 360° in 25,776 years, only 144 years less than the figure of 25,920. With Hipparchus's incorrect figures a 'Great Year' takes from 28,173.9 to 28,800 years, incorrect by a difference of from 2,397.9 years to 3,024. Since Nicholas Copernicus (AD 1473-1543) has always been credited with giving the correct numbers (although Arabic astronomer Nasir al-Din Tusi,11 born AD 1201, is known to have fixed the Precession at 50°), we may correctly ask, and with justifiable astonishment 'Just whose information was Plutarch transmitting' AN IMPORTANT POSTSCRIPT Of course, using our own notational system, all the important numbers have digits that reduce to that amazing number 9 a number that has always delighted budding mathematician. Page 206 Somewhere along the way, according to Robert Graves, 9 became the number of lunar wisdom.12 This number is found often in the mythologies of the world. the Viking god Odin hung for nine days and nights on the World Tree in order to acquire the secret of the runes, those magic symbols out of which writing and numbers grew. Only a terrible sacrifice would give away this secret, which conveyed upon its owner power and dominion over all, so Odin hung from his neck those long 9 days and nights over the 'bottomless abyss'. In the tree were 9 worlds, and another god was said to have been born of 9 mothers. Robert Graves, in his White Goddess, Is intrigued by the seemingly recurring quality of the number 72 in early myth and ritual. Graves tells his reader that 72 is always connected with the number 5, which reflects, among other things, the five Celtic dialects that he was investigating. Of course, 5 x 72= 360, 360 x 72= 25,920. Five is also the number of the planets known to the ancient world, that is, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus Mercury. Graves suggests a religious mystery bound up with two ancient Celtic 'Tree Alphabets' or cipher alphabets, which as genuine articles of Druidism were orally preserved and transmitted for centuries. He argues convincingly that the ancient poetry of Europe was ultimately based on what its composers believed to be magical principles, the rudiments of which formed a close religious secret for centuries. In time these were-garbled, discredited and forgotten. Among the many signs of the transmission of special numbers he points out that the aggregate number of letter strokes for the complete 22-letter Ogham alphabet that he is studying is 72 and that this number is the multiple of 9, 'the number of lunar wisdom'. . . . he then mentions something about 'the seventy day season during which Venus moves successively from. maximum eastern elongation 'to inferior conjunction and maximum western elongation'.13 Page 207 "...Feniusa Farsa, Graves equates this hero with Dionysus. Farsa has 72 assistants who helped him master the 72 languages created at the confusion of Babel, the tower of which is said to be built of 9 different materials We are also reminded of the miraculous translation into Greek of the Five Books of Moses that was done by 72 scholars working for 72 days, Although the symbol for the Septuagint is LXX, legend, according to the fictional letter of Aristeas, records 72. The translation was done for Ptolemy Philadelphus (c.250 BC), by Hellenistic Jews, possibly from Alexandra.14 Graves did not know why this number was necessary, but he points out that he understands Frazer's Golden Bough to be a book hinting that 'the secret involves the truth that the Christian dogma, and rituals, are the refinement of a great body of primitive beliefs, and that the only original element in Christianity- is the personality of Christ.15 Frances A. Yates, historian of Renaissance hermetisma tells, us the cabala had 72 angels through which the sephiroth (the powers of God) are believed to be approached, and further, she supplies the information that although the Cabala supplied a set of 48 conclusions purporting to confirm the Christian religion from the foundation of ancient wisdom, Pico Della Mirandola, a Renaissance magus, introduced instead 72, which were his 'own opinion' of the correct number. Yates writes, 'It is no accident there are seventy-two of Pico's Cabalist conclusions, for the conclusion shows that he knew something of the mystery of the Name of God with seventy-two letters.'16 In Hamlet's Mill de Santillana adds the facts that 432,000 is the number of syllables in the Rig-Veda, which when multiplied by the soss (60) gives 25,920" (The reader is forgiven for a bit of laughter at this point) The Bible has not escaped his pursuit. A prominent Assyriologist of the last century insisted that the total of the years recounted mounted in Genesis for the lifetimes of patriarchs from the Flood also contained the needed secret numbers. (He showed that in the 1,656 years recounted in the Bible there are 86,400 7 day weeks, and dividing this number yields / Page 208 / 43,200.) In Indian yogic schools it is held that all living beings exhale and inhale 21,600 times a day, multiply this by 2 and again we have the necessary 432 digits. Joseph Campbell discerns the secret in the date set for the coming of Patrick to Ireland. Myth-gives this date-as-the interesting number of AD.432.18 Whatever one may think-of some of these number coincidences, it becomes difficult to escape the suspicion that many signs (number and otherwise) - indicate that early man observed the results of the movement of Precession and that the - transmission of this information was considered of prime importance. With the awareness of the phenomenon, observers would certainly have tried for its measure, and such an endeavour would have constituted the construction-of a 'Unified Field Theory' for nothing less than Creation itself. Once determined, it would have been information worthy of secrecy and worthy of the passing on to future adepts. But one last word about mankind's romance with number coincidences.The antagonist in John Updike's novel, Roger's Version, is a computer hacker, who, convinced, that scientific evidence of God's existence is accumulating, endeavours to prove it by feeding -all the available scientific information. into a comuter. In his search for God 'breaking, through', he has become fascinated by certain numbers that have continually been cropping up. He explains them excitedly as 'the terms of Creation': "...after a while I noticed that all over the sheet there seemed to hit these twenty-fours Jumping out at me. Two four; two, four. Planck time, for instance, divided by the radiation constant yields a figure near eight times ten again to the negative twenty-fourth, and the permittivity of free space, or electric constant, into the Bohr radius ekla almost exactly six times ten to the negative twenty-fourth. On positive side, the electromagnetic line-structure constant times Hubble radius - that is, the size of the universe as we now perceive it gives us something quite close to ten to the twenty-fourth, and the strong-force constant times the charge on the proton produces two point four times ten to the negative eighteenth, for another I began to circle twenty-four wherever it appeared on the Printout here' - he held it up his piece of stripped and striped wallpaper, decorated / Page 209 /
with a number of scarlet circles - 'you can see it's more than random.'19 So much for any scorn directed to ancient man's fascination with number coincidences. That fascination is alive and well, Just a bit more incomprehensible"

King James Bible Jesus and Nicodemus 1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: 2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. 3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. 9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? 10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? 11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. 12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? 13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA = 171-81-9
- Wikipedia Joseph of Arimathea was, according to all four canonical Gospels, the man who assumed responsibility for the burial of Jesus after Jesus' crucifixion. A number of stories that developed during the Middle Ages connect him with both Glastonbury, where he is supposed to have founded the earliest Christian oratory, and also with the Grail legend. Matthew 27:57 described him simply as a rich man and disciple of Jesus, but according to Mark 15:43 Joseph of Arimathea was "a respected member of the council, who was also himself looking for the kingdom of God"; and Luke 23:50–56 adds that he "had not consented to their decision and action". According to John 19:38, upon hearing of Jesus' death, this secret disciple of Jesus "asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him permission." Joseph immediately purchased a linen shroud (Mark 15:46) and proceeded to Golgotha to take the body of Jesus down from the cross. There, according to John 19:39-40, Joseph and Nicodemus took the body and bound it in linen cloths with the spices that Nicodemus had bought. The disciples then conveyed the prepared corpse to the place previously bought for Joseph's own tomb, a man-made cave hewn from rock in a garden of his house nearby. This was done speedily, "for the Sabbath was drawing on". JESUS 15131 JESUS J513S 1ESU1 J513S JESUS 15131 JESUS

Maat Maat Goddess of Truth and Justice Symbol Consort
Thoth (in some accounts) Parents Maat or Ma'at was the ancient Egyptian concept of truth, balance, order, law, morality, and justice. Maat was also personified as a goddess regulating the stars, seasons, and the actions of both mortals and the deities, who set the order of the universe from chaos at the moment of creation. Her ideological counterpart was Isfet. The earliest surviving records indicating that Maat is the norm for nature and society, in this world and the next, were recorded during the Old Kingdom, the earliest substantial surviving examples being found in the Pyramid Texts of Unas (ca. 2375 BCE and 2345 BCE).[1] Later, as a goddess in other traditions of the Egyptian pantheon, where most goddesses were paired with a male aspect, her masculine counterpart was Thoth and their attributes are the similar. In other accounts, Thoth was paired off with Seshat, goddess of writing and measure, who is a lesser known deity. After her role in creation and continuously preventing the universe from returning to chaos, her primary role in Egyptian mythology dealt with the weighing of souls (also called the weighing of the heart) that took place in the underworld, Duat.[2] Her feather was the measure that determined whether the souls (considered to reside in the heart) of the departed would reach the paradise of afterlife successfully. Pharaohs are often depicted with the emblems of Maat to emphasise their role in upholding the laws of the Creator.[3

Middle Eastern Mythology S. H. Hooke 1963 Hebrew Mythology Page 114 Recent Sumerian studies 5 have shown that the conception of a divine garden and of a state when sickness and death did not exist and wild animals did not prey on one another is to be found in Sumerian mythology. The description of this earthly Paradise is contained in the Sumerian poem which Dr Kramer has called the Epic of Emmerkar The land Dilmun is a pure place, the land Dilmun is a clean place, The land Dilmun is a clean place, the land Dilmun is a bright place, In Dilmun the raven uttered no cry, The kite uttered not the cry of the kite, The lion killed not, The wolf snatched not the lamb, Unknown was the kid-killing dog, Unknown was the grain-devouring boar ..• The sick-eyed says not 'I am sick-eyed', The sick·headed says not 'I am sick-headed', Its (Dilmun's) old woman says not 'I am an old woman', Its old man says not 'I am an old man', Unbathed is the maid, no sparkling water is poured in the city, Who crosses the river (of death?) utters no ... The wailing priests walk not about him, The singer utters no wail, By the side of the city he utters no lament Later, in the Semitic editing of the Sumerian myths, Dilmun became the dwelling of the immortals, where Utnapishtim and his wife were allowed to live after the Flood (p. 49). It l.vas apparently located at the mouth of the Persian Gulf. According to the Sumerian myth the only thing which Dilrnun lacked was fresh water; the god Enki (or Ea) ordered Utu, the sun-god, to 'bring up fresh water from the earth to water the garden. Here we may have the source of the / Page 114 / "mysterious 'ed of which the Yahwist speaks as coming up from the ground to water the garden. In the myth of Enki and Ninhursag it is related that the mother-goddess Ninhursag caused eight plants to grow in the garden of the gods. Enki desired to eat these plants and sent his messenger Isimud to fetch them. Enki ate them one by one, and Ninhursag in her rage pronounced the curse of death upon Enki. As the result of the curse eight of Enki's bodily organs were attacked by disease and he was at the point of death. The great gods were in dismay and Enlil was powerless to help. Ninhursag was induced to return and deal with the situation. She created eight goddesses of healing who proceeded to heal each of the diseased parts of Enki's body. One of these parts was the god's rib, and the goddess who was created to deal with the rib was named Ninti, which means 'the lady of the rib'. But the Sumerian word ti has the double meaning of 'life' as well as 'rib', so that Ninti could also mean 'the lady of life'. We have seen that in the Hebrew myth the woman who was fashioned from Adam's rib was named by him Hawwah, meaning 'Life'. Hence one of the most curious features of the Hebrew myth of Paradise clearly has its origin in this somewhat crude Sumerian myth. Other elements in the Yahwist's form of the Paradise myth have striking parallels in various Akkadian myths. The importance of the possession of knowledge, which is always magical knowledge, is a recurring theme. We have seen that the myth of Adapa and the Gilgamesh Epic are both concerned with the search for immortality and the problem of death and the existence of disease. These and other examples which we have cited will serve to illustrate the point that the Akkadian myths were concerned with the themes which appear in the Yahwist's Paradise story."

THE STORY ALL HAPPENING AT ONE AND THE SAME TIME
IN OUR TIME Last broadcast on Thu, 18 Dec 2003, 21:30 on BBC Radio 4 "Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the feat of astonishing intellectual engineering which provides us with millions of words in hundreds of languages. At the start of the twentieth century, in the depths of an ancient Egyptian turquoise mine on the Sinai peninsular, an archaeologist called Sir Flinders Petrie made an exciting discovery. Scratched onto rocks, pots and portable items, he found scribblings of a very unexpected but strangely familiar nature. He had expected to see the complex pictorial hieroglyphic script the Egyptian establishment had used for over 1000 years, but it seemed that at this very early period, 1700 BC, the mine workers and Semitic slaves had started using a new informal system of graffiti, one which was brilliantly simple, endlessly adaptable and perfectly portable: the Alphabet. This was probably the earliest example of an alphabetic script and it bears an uncanny resemblance to our own. Did the alphabet really spring into life almost fully formed? How did it manage to conquer three quarters of the globe? And despite its Cyrillic and Arabic variations and the myriad languages it has been used to write, why is there essentially only one alphabet anywhere in the world?"

In the earliest incarnation of the tale, Shakuni cheats by magically obscuring the results. In later reworkings, Shakuni carves the dice from the bones of his dead brothers so they will obey his will. Dicing, along with horse-racing, was one of the main amusements of the Vedic Indian, but the rules of the game are not well understood. Furthermore, it was not dice in the sense that we know it. The classic source on the game is The Dice Game In Ancient India (1907), by German orientalist Heinrich Luders. According to him, the dice were made from brown nuts, probably from the vibhitaka tree (Terminalia bellerica), which grows as far north as the upper Indus River valley. These hard nuts are almost round, but have five slightly flattened sides. They are about the size of hazelnuts or nutmeg, so quite unlike our cubical numbered dice. In the ancient Indian game, each of the two players had a great number of dice. These were thrown alternately on to a carpet or board, until one of the players brought the total number of dice on the table up to a predetermined amount, called krta (which means done or complete). It is thought that the game consisted in securing even numbers of dice, usually a number divisible by four, the krta. The other three throws were the Tret, when three remained after division by four; the Dvapara, when two was the remainder; and the Kali, when one remained. Kali was subsequently personified, in myth and ritual, as an evil fate that cannot be avoided. Each game could take just a few or many throws. The game's skill lay in the ability to count the large number of tokens quickly. In later stories, the dice game becomes a well-known game called chaupar or passa. This was played with rectangular dice with four long sides that carried the numbers one to four. These dice were highly ornamented and made of various substances, including terracotta, ivory, bone, wood and vibhitaka nuts. Dr Ken Warren, Glasgow
GREAT PHILOSOPHIES OF THE EAST E. W. F. Tomlin 1952 Page 159 "Like the conpilers of the Old Testament: the editors of the Rig-Veda anthology were, careful to preserve intact material beloning to different epochs, We are thus able to trace the development of the early Aryan, religious consciousness , just as a reading of early and later parts of the Bible affords us an enlarged conception of the nature of the Hebrew Yahve. There is wisdom in this refusal on the part of priestly guardians to suppress the primitive elements of their faith; for these are better kept well before the eye than allowed to fester, as the result of exision, in that uneasy corner to be found in the most devout conscience. Some of the vedic hymns are merely satirical, such as that addressed 'To Frogs', which is considered to be a satire on the priesthood; or straightforward vers de societe- such as that on the 'The Gambler', of whose ('dice dearer than soma') it is said: Downward they roll, and then spring quickly upward, and handless, force The man with hands to serve them. Cast on the board, like lumps of magic charcoal, though cold themselves, they burn The heart to ashes."

FINGERPRINTS OF THE GODS Graham Hancock 1995 Page 411(number omitted) "According to Heliopolitan theology, the nine original gods who appeared in Egypt in the First Time were Ra, Shu, Tefnut, Geb, Nut, Osiris, Isis, Nepthys and Set. The offspring of these deities included well-known figures such as Horus and Anubis. In addition, other companies of gods were recognized, notably at Memphis and Hermopolis, where there were important and very ancient cults dedicated to Ptah and to Thoth.1 These First Time deities were all in one sense or another gods of creation who had given shape to chaos through their divine will. Out of that chaos they formed and populated the sacred land of Egypt,2 wherein, for many thousands of years, they ruled among men as divine pharaohs.3

Daily Mail,Tuesday, December 1, 2015 Page 58 ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS Compiled by Charles Legge QUESTION Ramesses II claimed a great victory af the — Battle of Kadesh and erected monuments and temples to the victory. But did he, In fact, lose this battle? THE Poem of Pentaur is Ramesses II's official Egyptian record (along with The Bulletin) of his military victory over Hittite King Muwatalli II at the Battle of Kadesh (in what is now Syria) in 1273 or 1274 BC. To reinforce the idea of his success, he had the poem inscribed on the walls of temples at Abydos, Luxor, Karnak, Abu Simbel and in his Ramesseum. It details his personal bravery and concludes that `all the lands and all the foreign countries being fallen prostrate beneath his sandals for eternity and everlasting'. The first scholarly report on the battle, by James Henry Breasted in 1903, interpreted the poem as historical fact. But later evidence and a scoffing complaint by Hattusili, the Hittite king's brother, about the pharaoh's victorious depiction of the battle can be found in the Papyrus Raifet and Papyrus Sallie III. The Hittites, an ancient Anatolian people whose capital was at Hattusa, now in central Turkey, had long been making incursions into Egypt. Ramesses II resolved to drive the menace from his borders once and for all. The lynchpin to his campaign was the city of Kadesh, a centre of commerce at the time, held by the Hittites. Ramesses marched from Egypt at the head of more than 20,000 men, divided into four divisions. He led the Amun‘ division with the Re, Ptah and Set divisions following. King Muwatalli assembled an army of his allies to prevent this invasion of his territory. Over-enthusiastically, Ramesses -outran the rest of his force, and after hearing unreliable intelligence regarding the Hittite position from a pair of captured prisoners, he pitched his camp close to the town. The Hittite armies, hidden behind the town, launched a surprise attack against the Amun division and quickly sent it scattering. Ramesses tried to rally his troops against the onslaught of Hittite chariots, but it wasn't until the arrival of relief forces from Amurru that the Hittite attack was forced back. The Egyptians avoided an outright disaster at Kadesh, but it was a stalemate rather than the splendid victory that Ramesses later sought to portray. After an unsuccessful attempt to gain further ground the following day, Ramesses headed back south to Egypt, bragging about his personal achievements in the battle. The fact that the Hittites continued to occupy the city of Kadesh after the battle (and harried trade caravans from that site) supports their claim to having scored a victory over Ramesses. But in the battle, the Pharoah and his army had driven the enemy from the field, inflicting heavy casualties (a claim supported by both accounts) and returned to Egypt with his forces intact. The Battle of Kadesh has
great historical significance in that it led directly to the world's first known peace treaty, in 1258 BC, in which Ramesses II of Egypt and Hattusili of the Hittites promised to respect each other's boundaries and not make war between their kingdoms.
THE SPLENDOUR THAT WAS EGYPT Margaret A. Murray Appendix 4 The New Year of God Cornhill Magazine 1934 Page 231/233 "Three o'clock and a still starlight night in mid-September in Upper Egypt. At this hour the village is usually asleep, but to-night it is a stir for this is Nauruz Allah, the New Year of God, and the narrow streets are full of the soft sound of bare feet moving towards the Nile. The village lies on a strip of ground; one one side is the river, now swollen to its height, on the other are the floods of the inundation spread in a vast sheet of water to the edge of the desert. On a windy night the lapping of wavelets is audible on every hand; but to-night the air is calm and still, there is no sound but the muffled tread of unshod feet in the dust and the murmur of voices subdued in the silence of the night. In ancient times throughout the whole of Egypt the night of High Nile was a night of prayer and thanks giving to the great god , the Ruler of the river, Osiris himself. Now it is only in this Coptic village that the ancient rite is preserved, and here the festival is still one of prayer and thanksgiving. In the great cities the New Year is a time of feasting and processions, as blatant and uninteresting as a Lord Mayor's Show, with that additional note of piercing vulgarity peculiar to the East. In this village, far from all great cities, and-as a Coptic community-isolated from and therefore uninfluenced either by its Moslem neighbours or by foreigners, the festival is one of simplicity and piety. The people pray as of old to the Ruler of the river, no longer Osiris, but Christ; and as of old they pray for a blessing upon their children and their homes. There are four appointed places on the river bank to which the village women go daily to fill their water-jars and to water their animals. To these four places the villagers are now making their way, there to keep the New Year of God. The river gleams coldly pale and grey; Sirius blazing in the eastern sky casts a narrow path of light across the mile-wide waters. A faint glow low on the horizon shows where the moon will rise, a dying moon on the last day of the last quarter. The glow gradually spreads and brightens till the thin crescent, like a fine silver wire, rises above the distant palms. Even in that attenuated form the moonlight eclipses the stars and the glory of Sirius is dimmed. The water turns to the colour of tarnished silver, smooth and glassy; the palm-trees close at hand stand black against the sky, and the distant shore is faintly visible. The river runs silently and without a ripple in the windless calm; the palm fronds, so sensitive to the least movement of the air, hang motionless and still; all Nature seems to rest upon this holy night. The women enter the river and stand knee-deep in the running stream praying; they drink nine times, wash the face and hands, and dip themselves in the water. Here is a mother carrying a tiny wailing baby; she enters the river and gently pours the waternine times over the little head. The wailing ceases as the water cools the little hot face. Two anxious women hasten down the steep bank, a young boy between them; they hurriedly enter the water and the boy squats down in the river up to his neck, while the mother pours the water nine times with her hands over his face and shaven head. There is the sound of a little gasp at the first shock of coolness, and the mother laughs, a little tender laugh, and the grandmother says something under her breath, at which they all laugh softly together. After the ninth washing the boy stands up, then squats down again and is again washed nine times, and yet a third nine times; then the grandmother takes her turn and she also washes him nine times. Evidently he is very precious to the hearts of those two women, perhaps the mother's last surviving child. Another sturdy urchin refuses to sit down in the water, frightened perhaps, for a woman's voice speaks encouragingly, and presently a faint splashing and a little gurgle of childish laughter shows that he too is receiving the blessing of the Nauruz of God. A woman stands alone, her slim young figure in its wet clinging garments silhouetted against the steel-grey water. Solitary she stands, apart from the happy groups of parents and children; then, stooping , she drinks from her once, pauses and drinks again; and so drinksnine times with a short pause between every drink and a longer pause between every three. Except for the movement of her hand as she lifts the water to her lips, she stands absolutely still, her body tense with the earnestness of her prayer, the very atmosphere round her charged with the agony of her supplication. Throughout the whole world there is only one thing which causes a woman to pray with such intensity, and that one thing is children. " This may be a childless woman praying for a child, or it may be that, in this land where Nature is as careless and wasteful of infant life as of all else, this a mother praying for the last of her little brood, feeling assured that on this festival of mothers and children her prayers must perforce be heard. At last she straightens herself, beats the water nine times with the corner of her garment, goes softly up the bank, and disappears in the darkness. Little family parties come down to the river, a small child usually riding proudly on her father's shoulder. The men often affect to despise the festival as a woman's affair, but with memories in their hearts of their own mothers and their own childhood they sit quietly by the river and drink nine times. A few of the rougher young men fling themselves into the water and swim boisterously past, but public feeling is against them, for the atmosphere is one of peace and prayer enhanced by the calm and silence of the night. Page 232 and 233 Continued. For thousands of years on the night of High Nile the mothers of Egypt have stood in the great river to implore from the God of the Nile a blessing upon their children; formerly from a God who Himself has memories of childhood and a Mother. Now, as then, the stream bears on its broad surface the echo of countless prayers, the hopes and fears of human hearts; and in my memory remains a vision of the darkly flowing river, the soft murmur of prayer, the peace and calm of the New Year of God. Abu Nauruz hallal.

Daily Mail, Wednesday, May 11, 2016 Page 51 ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS Compiled by Charles Legge The trail of Christ's Grail QUESTION What is the origin of
the Holy Grail story? ACCORDING to Grail legend, the Holy Grail was the cup (or platter, cauldron or stone) from which Jesus drank at the Last Supper and which Joseph of Arimathea later used to collect drops of Jesus's blood at the crucifixion. Legend has it that Joseph then brought the cup to Britain, where it was lost. The Holy Grail then became part of Arthurian legend. It was believed to be kept in a mysterious castle in a wasteland, guarded by a custodian called the Fisher King, who suffered from a wound that would not heal. His recovery and the renewal of the blighted lands depended on the successful completion of the quest to find the Grail. The magical properties attributed to the Holy Grail have been plausibly traced to the 'horn of plenty' of Celtic myth that satisfied the tastes and needs of all who ate and drank from it. The Holy Grail first appeared in a written text in Chretien de Troyes's Old French verse romance, Perceval, le Conte du Graal from about 1180. De Troyes claimed he received knowledge of the tale from a book from his patron Philip, Count of Flanders. His prologue specifically implies this was his source, ending 'it is the story of the Grail of which the count gave him the book'. But there is speculation as to whether this book existed: 12th-century writers were sensitive to the charge they invented stories for which they had no `authority'. During the next half-century, several works, both in verse and prose, were written about the quest for the Grail although the story, and the principal character, vary from one work to another. The word graal, as it was historically spelled, comes from Old French graal or great, cognate with Old Provençal grazal and Old Catalan gresal, meaning a cup or bowl of earthenware, wood or metal. The most commonly accepted etymology derives it from Latin gradalis or gradale via an earlier form, cratalis, a derivative of crater or cratus, borrowed from the Greek krater, a large wine-mixing vessel. The Grail myth was revived in the lath century by romantic authors Scott and Tennyson, Pre-Raphaelite artists, and composers, notably Richard Wagner. The story has persisted in novels by Charles Williams, C. S. Lewis, John Cowper Powys, in Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code and the Indiana Jones movies.

LIFE OUT THEIR THE TRUTH OF - AND SEARCH FOR - EXTRATERRESTRIAL LIFE Michael White 1998 Page 97 "The first venue for Phoenix was / Page 98 / Australia, where astronomers used the Parkes 64-metre antenna and the Mopra 22-metre antenna, both in New South Wales. Because Australia was the first site, a very high proportion of the stars in the targeted group were those seen only in the Southern Hemisphere, including 650 G-Dwarf stars. In 1996, the system was taken back to the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in West Virginia, where a 40-metre dish was used to follow through the next stage of the search. The project is currently established at the largest radio telescope in the world - the 305-metre Arcibo radio telescope in Puerto Rico. Page 99 notes • For more than twenty-five years, astronomers have been observing sudden bursts of energy from a variety of different locations in the cosmos. They detect these bursts, which are thought to be the result of the most powerful explosions ever witnessed, by following a left-over trace of gamma rays (a form of electromagnetic radiation) that reach the Earth. There are literally hundreds of theories that attempt to explain these bursts, including the notion that they could be the result of the activities of some super-civilisation. Recently, one such burst was carefully monitored and found to have come from an explosion so powerful that in ten minutes the source produced more energy than the total output of our Sun during its lifetime. Astronomers are actively chasing the source and the cause of this phenomenon and hope to solve the mystery after one more sustained observation of the effect. The trouble is, no one knows when or where the next one will be.
Daily Mail, Thursday, September 1, 2016 Page 17 As a mysterious burst of radio signal is detected from outer space... Is this proof aliens are trying to contact us? HUGE Russian telescope in a remote part of the Caucasus detects a mysterious burst - of radio signal coming from far away in outer space. It's traced to a 6.3 billion-year-old star in a constellation 94.4 light years away from Earth, meaning the radio waves have been travelling across the universe to us since 1922. The implications are mind-blowing as scientists across the globe rush to their telescopes. Could it really be that an alien civilisation far more advanced than ours is We've seen this gripping scenario play out a hundred times before in Hollywood feature films about alien contact. Ultimately, the only question mark is whether they're trying to extend the hand of peace or are intent on hovering over the White House for a few nail-biting hours before blowing us all to kingdom come. Only this time, the reports of a possible extraterrestrial transmission are real. An international team from the U.S.-based Search For Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) institute is investigating a burst of microwave radiation, lasting no more than two seconds, that was picked up on May 15 last year by the RATAN-600 observatory in Zelenchukskaya, a hilly region close to the border with Georgia. The discovery was initially kept secret as the scientists involved wanted to announce it in their own time, but it has filtered out to a stunned star-gazing community. After decades in which alien hunters have been fruitlessly scanning the stars, and finding no evidence that anyone else is out there, the news from Russia-has inevitably sparked enormous excitement. SETI's biggest radio telescopes — the monstrous dishes of the Allen Telescope Array in California — have swung into action, focusing their attention on the signal's source in the vicinity of a sun-like star named, not so excitingly, HD 164595. The star, which isn't visible to the naked eye, sits in the Hercules constellation. The team has yet to find any signals matching those discovered by the Russians, but acknowledge they 'have not yet covered the full range of frequencies in which the signal could be located'. The researchers who discovered the signal have called for the target solar system to be monitored permanently for any new possible communications. The star appears to have a size and temperature similar to the Sun. The only known planet in its system is a `warm Neptune', so called because it is gaseous, like the planet Neptune. This Neptune, however, orbits its sun in only 40 days. Though it is not considered likely as a source of life, there are probably other planets — rocky ones far more suitable for life cast — in the same system. On one fact, the experts seem certain. If the signal really did come would from an extraterrestrial beacon, the aliens who sent it are hugely more advanced than we are. jUST how advanced depends on whether they were targeting Earth or transmitting radio waves in all directions. According to Seth Shostak, an astronomer at SETI, the energy a beacon would need to produce to send a signal in all directions this far into space would be a mind-blowing 100 quintillion watts. `It's hundreds of times more than all the energy falling on the Earth from sunlight,' he says. It goes without saying this would require a power source far beyond anything that exists on Earth. SETI — which was founded in the Seventies and is financed by private donors and U.S. government agencies — uses its own scale, called the Kardashev after the Soviet astronomer who created it, to measure the advancement of an alien civilisation. An extra-terrestrial culture that might be able to send such a signal in all directions would be a Kardashev Type II civilisation, capable of tapping all the energy of its sun. The most popular hypothetical means of doing this is a so-called Dyson sphere (nothing to do with the vacuum cleaners), a Star Wars-style device that would cover the entire sun and transfer its energy to the planet. If, however, rather than broadcasting in all directions, the alien civilisation is instead purposefully aiming its signal at us, the power it would need drops significantly, to a little over a trillion watts. That's 100,000 times less power than is needed to send a signal throughout the universe, but it's still a huge amount — comparable to the total energy consumption of the Earth's entire human population. 'All the cars, all the planes, all the electronic devices, everything,' says Shostak. 'This is not a high-school science project.' Such a radio signal could point to a (relatively) less advanced Kardashev Type I civilisation, which is only able to harness the sunlight falling on its planet. But scientists don't think it likely that anyone would want to target our solar system with a strong signal. After all, the star system from where the radio burst is believed to have come is so far away the inhabitants would not yet have picked up the radar and TV signals that would reveal.to them we exist. That is because neither existed 94 years ago: the time it would take for such signals to reach our possible `new neighbours'. So, while the internet was sent into a frenzy about HD 164595, astronomers are more sceptical. No one in the scientific community has said the signal must have definitely come from an extraterrestrial radio signal. In fact, as experts have warned, there are a other plausible explanations. Radio interference from Earth is the most likely alternative. Radio telescopes have been known to pick up rogue signals caused by mobile phones, microwave ovens and even flushing lavatories. Another possibility is stellar flares, sudden bursts of energy released by stars, which can produce the sort of one-off, powerful signal the Russian observatory detected. A further potential explanation is that the spike in the radio wave was caused by a spy satellite. The telescope that detected the signal, operated by the Russian Academy of Science, is the only one that has so far picked it up. Sceptics say they won't take the signal seriously as a possible extraterrestrial contact until it is recorded by another observatory. After so many years on the trail, alien hunters are anxious to find corroborating evidence. The astronomer Jill Tarter, the former head of SETI and the scientist on whom Jodie Foster's character was based in the alien encounter film Contact, is keeping an open mind. `HD 164595 — who knows? One telescope is not enough and an array is better,' she says. It is no wonder they are keen for more information. THE SIGNAL from HD 164595 is intriguing, because it comes from the vicinity of a sun-like star. 'If it's artificial, its strength is great enough that it was clearly made by a civilisation with capabilities beyond those of humankind,' says Douglas Vakoch, an astronomer at METI International, a research body that wants to send signals to extraterrestrials as well as pick up their messages. Back on Earth, a squabble is growing. SETI has accused the Russian observatory of breaching stargazing protocol by not alerting other researchers in time for them to confirm its observation. Some experts fear it may be too late to double-check the radio signal from the Hercules constellation, leaving it to become another so-called `Wow!' signal that extraterrestrial researchers pick up for a tantalising moment, but are frustratingly never able to explain. In Ohio in 1977, astronomer Jerry Ehman famously registered a 72-second intense blast of radio waves from a group of stars called Chi Sagittarii and wrote 'Wow!' in his notes. The signal never returned. But in some quarters, there are increasing hopes of an answer to the old question: is there anyone out there? Scientists have assumed since the Fifties that if there are aliens, they may be beaming radio waves into space, deliberately or accidentally. The question was to find the right frequency and then tune in. However, under-funding of research has meant experts have been able to scan only a tiny fraction of space. A $100 million project, Breakthrough Listen, funded by Russian technology entrepreneur Yuri Milner and backed by the scientist Stephen Hawking, launched this year to re-energise the hunt for ET. It has assigned two of the world's biggest radio telescopes to focus on the million nearest star systems. Some sceptics, however, wonder whether it isn't terribly old-fashioned to be searching for radio waves, speculating that aliens may be communicating across the universe in far more technologically advanced ways. Of course, the bigger question remains: does anyone out there actually want to contact us? But that was before Nasa sent out the unmanned Voyager spacecraft in 1977, loaded with golden phonograph records as messages from Earth to any, intelligent alien life that found them. The records — accompanied by a printed message from the then U.S.
President Jimmy Carter — provided
supposedly representative images, sounds and music, including the
noise of an industrial rivet gun, a picture of a Chinese dinner party and a recording of Johnny B. Goode by Chuck Berry.
LIFE OUT THEIR THE TRUTH OF - AND SEARCH FOR - EXTRATERRESTRIAL LIFE Michael White 1998 Page 98 The eminent American physicist, and one-time associate of Albert Einstein, Freeman Dyson, who works at the Institute of Advanced Study in Princeton, has proposed a scheme by which a very advanced technology could produce an almost limitless fuel / Page 99 /
supply. He speculates that a sufficiently developed civilisation could harness the total energy output of their home sun by building a sphere of receivers and energy converters around it. These 'Dyson spheres', as they have become known, would of course provide tremendous amounts of energy but would also radiate commensurate amounts of heat, which could be detected lightyears away in the infrared region of the spectrum. Others have taken this idea even further by suggesting that civilisations perhaps millions of years in advance of our own could utilise the energy output of an entire galaxy, or even a cluster of galaxies, and that some of the many types of energy source we see in distant parts of the Universe are the waste products from such processes." This has led those involved with SETI to categorise potential civilis ations into three distinct classes.

'Today,' he says: we are again seeking messages from an ancient and exotic civilization, this time hidden from us not only in time, but in space. If we should receive a radio message from an extraterrestrial civilization, how could it possibly be understood? Extraterrestrial intelligence will be elegant, complex, internally consistent and utterly alien. Extraterrestrials would, of course, wish to make a message sent to us as comprehensible as possible. But how could they? Is there in any sense an interstellar Rosetta Stone? We believe there is a common language that all technical civilizations, no matter how different, must have.
