HISTORY OF GOD

Karen Armstrong 1993

The God of the Mystics

Page 250

"Perhaps the most famous of the early Jewish mystical texts is the fifth century Sefer Yezirah (The Book of Creation). There is no attempt to describe the creative process realistically; the account is unashamedly symbolic and shows God creating the world by means of language as though he were writing a book. But language has been entirely transformed and the message of creation is no longer clear. Each letter of the Hebrew alphabet is given a numerical value; by combining the letters with the sacred numbers, rearranging them in endless configurations, the mystic weaned his mind away from the normal connotations of words."

LIGHT AND LIFE

Lars Olof Bjorn 1976

Page 197

"By writing the 26 letters of the alphabet in a certain order one may put down almost any message (this book 'is written with the same letters' as the Encyclopaedia Britannica and Winnie the Pooh, only the order of the letters differs). In the same way Nature is able to convey with her language how a cell and a whole organism is to be constructed and how it is to function. Nature has succeeded better than we humans; for the genetic code there is only one universal language which is the same in a man, a bean plant and a bacterium."

A QUEST FOR THE BEGINNING AND THE END

Graham Hancock 1995

Chapter 32

Speaking to the Unborn

Page 285

"It is understandable that a huge range of myths from all over the ancient world should describe geological catastrophes in graphic detail. Mankind survived the horror of the last Ice Age, and the most plausible source for our enduring traditions of flooding and freezing, massive volcanism and devastating earthquakes is in the tumultuous upheavals unleashed during the great meltdown of 15,000 to 8000 BC. The final retreat of the ice sheets, and the consequent 300-400 foot rise in global sea levels, took place only a few thousand years before the beginning of the historical period. It is therefore not surprising that all our early civilizations should have retained vivid memories of the vast cataclysms that had terrified their forefathers.
Much harder to explain is the peculiar but distinctive way the myths of cataclysm seem to bear the intelligent imprint of a guiding hand.l Indeed the degree of convergence between such ancient stories is frequently remarkable enough to raise the suspicion that they must all have been 'written' by the same 'author'.
Could that author have had anything to do with the wondrous deity, or superhuman, spoken of in so many of the myths we have reviewed, who appears immediately after the world has been shattered by a horrifying geological catastrophe and brings comfort and the gifts of civilization to the shocked and demoralized survivors?
White and bearded, Osiris is the Egyptian manifestation of this / Page 286 / universal figure, and it may not be an accident that one of the first acts he is remembered for in myth is the abolition of cannibalism among the primitive inhabitants of the Nile Valley.2 Viracocha, in South America, was said to have begun his civilizing mission immediately after a great flood; Quetzalcoatl, the discoverer of maize, brought the benefits of crops, mathematics, astronomy and a refined culture to Mexico after the Fourth Sun had been overwhelmed by a destroying deluge.
Could these strange myths contain a record of encounters between scattered palaeolithic tribes which survived the last Ice Age and an as yet unidentified high civilization which passed through the same epoch?
And could the myths be attempts to communicate?

A message in the bottle of time

'Of all the other stupendous inventions,' Galileo once remarked,

what sublimity of mind must have been his who conceived how to communicate his most secret thoughts to any other person, though very distant either in time or place, speaking with those who are in the Indies, speaking to those who are not yet born, nor shall be this thousand or ten thousand years? And with no greater difficulty than the various arrangements of two dozen little signs on paper? Let this be the seal of all the admirable inventions of men.3

If the 'precessional message' identified by scholars like Santillana, von Dechend and Jane Sellers is indeed a deliberate attempt at communication by some lost civilization of antiquity, how come it wasn't just written down and left for us to find? Wouldn't that have been easier than encoding it in myths? Perhaps.
Nevertheless, suppose that whatever the message was written on got destroyed or worn away after many thousands of years? Or suppose that the language in which it was inscribed was later forgotten utterly (like the enigmatic Indus Valley script, which has been studied closely for more than half a century but has so far resisted all attempts at decoding)? It must be obvious that in such circumstances a written / Page 287 / legacy to the future would be of no value at all, because nobody would be able to make sense of it.
What one would look for, therefore, would be a universal language, the kind of language that would be comprehensible to any technologically advanced society in any epoch, even a thousand or ten thousand years into the future. Such languages are few and far between, but mathematics is one of them - and the city of Teotihuacan may be the calling-card of a lost civilization written in the eternal language of mathematics.
Geodetic data, related to the exact positioning of fixed geographical points and to the shape and size of the earth, would also remain valid and recognizable for tens of thousands of years, and might be most conveniently expressed by means of cartography (or in the construction of giant geodetic monuments like the Great Pyramid of Egypt, as we shall see).
Another 'constant' in our solar system is the language of time: the great but regular intervals of time calibrated by the inch-worm creep of precessional motion. Now, or ten thousand years in the future, a message that prints out numbers like 72 or 2160 or 4320or 25,920 should be instantly intelligible to any civilization that has evolved a modest talent for mathematics and the ability to detect and measure the almost imperceptible reverse wobble that the sun appears to make along the ecliptic against the background of the fixed stars..."

"What one would look for, therefore, would be a universal language, the kind of language that would be comprehensible to any technologically advanced society in any epoch, even a thousand or ten thousand years into the future. Such languages are few and far between, but mathematics is one of them"

In Search Of The Miraculous
Fragments of an Unknown Teaching
P.D.Oupensky 1949

Page 96
" There exist not one, but three universal languages. The first of them can be spoken and written while remaining within the limits of ones' own language. The only difference is that when people speak in their ordinary language they do not understand one another but in this other language they do understand. In the second language, written language is the same for all peoples, like say figures or mathematical formulae; but people still speak their own language yet each of them understands the other even though the other speaks in an unknown language. The third language is the same for all both the written and the spoken. The difference of language disappears altogether on this level."

"The aim of "myths" and "symbols" was to reach mans' higher centres, to transmit to him ideas inaccessible to the intellect and to transmit them in such forms as would exclude the possibility of false interpretation."

Page 283

"In western systems of occultism there is a method known by the name of 'theosophical addition', that is, the definition of numbers consisting of two or more digits by the sum of those digits. To people who do not understand the symbolism of numbers this method of synthesizing numbers seems to be absolutely arbitrary and to lead nowhere. But for a man who understands the unity of everything existing and who has the key to this unity the method of theosophical addition has a profound meaning, for it resolves all diversity into the fundamental laws which govern it and which are expressed in the numbers 1 to 10. As was mentioned earlier in symbology, as represented , numbers are connected with definate geometrical figures  and are mutually complimentary one to another. In the Cabala a symbology of letters is also used and in combination with the symbology of letters a symbology of words.A combination of the four methods of symbolism by numbers, geometrical figures, letters and words, give a complicated but more perfect method."

Page 304

"You must understand ", he said, " that every real religion, that is, one that has been created by learned people for a definite aim, consists of two parts. One part teaches what is to be done. This part becomes common knowledge and in the course of time is distorted and departs from the original. The other part teaches how to do what the first part teaches. This part is preserved in secret in special schools and with its help it is always possible to rectify what has been distorted in the first part or restore what has been forgotten."

"Realizing the weakness and imperfection of ordinary language the people who have possessed objective knowledge have tried to express the idea of unity in "myths" "symbols" and in particular verbal formulas" which, having been transmitted without alteration, have carried on the idea from one school to another, often from one epoch to another."

"All numbers greater than nine can be reduced to a single digit by the process of fadic addition, for example:
12 is reduced to 3 by adding 1 and 2;

49 is reduced to 4 by adding 4 and 9 which equals 13 and subsequently adding 1 and 3 to make 4."

QUESTION Is it possible to turn base metals into gold?

ONE of the key quests of alchemy was to produce the philosopher's stone, a dense waxy, red material that could induce chrysopoeia, the transmutation of base metals such as lead into gold.

With the dawn of the atomic age in th 20th century, the transmutation o elements became possible. In commercial nuclear reactors, uranium 235 undergoes fission, i.e. the atoms break apart to yield smaller nuclei of elements such as barium and krypton as well as heat that can be harnessed to generate electricity.

Nuclear transmutation can also be achieved in a 'collider', a particle accelerator that uses electromagnetic fields to propel charged particles, electrons, protons and neutrons to nearly light speed and smash them into a target.

Around 1980, a research group from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) used a particle accelerator to create beams of carbon and neon moving near to the speed of light. They smashed these beams on bismuth foil targets.

Each bismuth atom contains 83 protons. If a bismuth atom loses four protons, it turns into gold. To determine if gold was created, the researchers measured radiation from the decay of unstable gold atoms. The reaction produced a minuscule amount of gold.

Gold has only one stable isotope: Au 197, an atom made up of 79 protons and 118 neutrons. If it has a different number of protons it isn't gold. If it has a different neutron count it is gold, but radioactive. That means that the element will eventually turn into a different element while emitting alpha, beta or gamma rays.

Most of the gold obtained by bombarding metals with neutrons will be real, but it won't last very long and will be highly radioactive. While it is possible to create gold by bombarding mercury and lead in a particle accelerator, the cost and radioactive nature of the resulting isotopes would make it practically impossible.

Glenn Seaborg, a winner of the 1951 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, suggested that it would cost more than one quadrillion
dollars to produce just an ounce of stable gold using a particle accelerator. Peter Smith, Durham.

 

 

THE LURE AND ROMANCE OF ALCHEMY

A HISTORY OF THE SECRET LINKS BETWEEN MAGIC AND SCIENCE

C.J.S.Thompson

1990

THE MYSTERY OF THE EMERALD TABLET

Page 31/ 32

"True it is, without falsehood, certain most true.

That which is above is like to that which is below,

and that which is below is like that which is above,

to accomplish the miracles of one thing

And as in all things whereby contemplation of one,

so in all things arose from this one thing by a single act of adoption

The father thereof is the Sun, the mother the Moon.

The wind carried it in its womb, the earth is the source thereof.

It is the father of all works of wonder throughout the world.

The power thereof is perfect.

If it be cast on to earth, it will separate the element of earth from that of fire, the subtle from the gross.

With great sagacity it doth ascend gently from earth to heaven.

Again it doth descend to earth and uniteth in itself the force from things superior and things inferior.

Thus thou wilt possess the brightness of the world, and all obscurity will fly far from thee.

This thing is the strong fortitude of all strength, for it over- cometh every subtle thing and doth penetrate every solid substance.

Thus was this world created.

Hence will there be marvellous adaptations achieved of which the manner is this.

For this reason I am called Hermes Trismegistus because I hold three parts of ' the wisdom of the whole world.

That which I had to say about the operation of Sol is completed.

What is the meaning of this enigma? Albertus Magnus, Roger Bacon, and other philosophers of the Middle Ages sought to solve it, but their comments only point to a vague doctrine of correspondence between heaven and earth, so that inanimate nature answers to the planets and the heavenly bodies. It obviously emphasizes the dependence of all earthly things on the sun, thus following the idea of Aristotle that man is gene- rated from man and the sun. I t refers to the action of the moon upon the earth, the action of fire on a solid body, causing distillation or sublimation, and the subsequent solution of a rarer liquid. It is, indeed, a brief summary of the principles of change in nature and the foundation of alchemical doctrine, and shows the close connexion between alchemy and astrology.

One of the earliest doctrines of astrology was a belief in a mysterious emanation from the heavenly bodies which in- fluenced man's life in health and disease, and also affected all minerals, plants, and flowers, their properties being derived from the sun, the moon, and the planets.

Legends of the discovery of ancient stone tablets or documents 32

Page33 / MYSTERY OF THE "EMERALD TABLET"

are not infrequent; another is provided by the story of the find- ing of the famous book on magic known as The Key of Solomon, which, according to tradition, was discovered secreted in an ivory casket in a tomb.

In the account of the emerald tablet given by Roger Bacon in the Secretum Secretorum it is stated that "These precious sentences of Hermes were found by Galienus Alfachim the physician, on a plaque of emerald in a cave, clasped in the hands of the corpse of that mysterious legendary figure Hermes Tris- megistus, The Thrice Great." The reader is exhorted" to preserve the strictest secrecy from all except men of goodwill, this treasured text, even as Hermes himself had hidden it within the cave."

Another instance of a similar discovery is the story respecting the treatise entitled Concerning the Seven, attributed to Alexius Africanus, in which the seven herbs connected with the seven planets are named. This document is said to have been found enclosed within a monument with the bones of the first King K yrannide~ in the town of Troy.

Several early historians record that the lore of the Egyptians was preserved in the stelre of their temples. Iamblichus, in the fourth century, mentions" ancient stelre of Hermes in which all science was written down"; while Olympiodorus, in the sixth century, says, "The secret of the mystic art is inscribed on the obelisks in hieroglyphics."

The tradition that the text was inscribed on an emerald may have arisen from the fact that in Grreco- Egyptian times the name was applied to any green stone.

It may be well to quote another and freer translation of this historic text; it can be judged more clearly from this that the writer designed to teach the doctrines of alchemy that were common in the early Christian era.

I speak not fictitious things, but that which is certain and most true. What is below is like that which is above, and what is above is like that which is below to accomplish the miracles of One

Page 34 / ALCHEMY

Thing. And as all things were produced by the One Word of One Being, so all things were produced from the One Thing by adaptation. Its father is the Sun, its mother the Moon, the wind carries it in its belly, its nurse is the earth. It is the father of all perfection throughout the world. The power is vigorous if it be changed into earth. Separate the earth from the fire, the subtle from the gross, acting prudently and with judgment. Ascend with the sagacity from the earth to heaven, and then again descend to the earth and unite together the powers of things superior and things inferior. Thus you will obtain the glory of the whole world and obscurity will fly far from you. This has more fortitude than fortitude itself, because it conquers every subtle thing and can penetrate every solid. Thus was the world formed. Hence pro- ceed wonders which are here established. Therefore I am called Hermes Trismegistus, having three parts of the philosophy of the whole world. That which I had to say concerning the operation of the Sun is completed.

The authorship of this remarkable message still remains a mystery, although philosophers have laboured for centuries to prove its authenticity and to interpret its cryptic words. In the Middle Ages it was regarded as a marvellous revelation full of sublime secrets of great importance to mankind, but what these secrets were none was able to reveal.

Ferguson enumerates forty-eight treatises and commentaries on the Emerald Tablet, and remarks that we cannot well ignore it-less perhaps now than ever in view of the discovery of Egyptian writings like the medical Papyrus Ebers, which he calls an hermetic treatise of 1550 B.C., a date coinciding with that assigned to Hermes by Lambeck. Other researches have shown that the belief in a person or persons of the name of Hermes has been so widespread and persistent that the whole Hermes legend forms a legitimate subject of inquiry as to its origin.

The text is certainly not modern; it has been assigned to Hermes from the first, and its significance does not lie on the surface. It is a profound mystery and remains a great puzzle. Everything concerning it remains a problem; its legendary and romantic discovery, its author-whether one of the several per- / Page 35 / sonages of the name of Hermes or an anonymous writer who ascribed it to him to give it authority-and its possible connexion with so-called hermetic writings of an earlier time. De Sacy was of the opinion that the Emerald Tablet was the work of Apollonius of Tyana, but gives no grounds for his conclusion. The story of its discovery may be a myth, but we must remem- ber that the earliest Egyptian papyri dealing with medicine, which are believed to date from 1550 B.C., were found reposing between the legs of a mummy. The most that can be hoped for is that some future discoveries may lead at least to a plausible theory, if not to perfect certainty, regarding its origin

QUESTION Which battles best Illustrate the concept of a Pyrrhic victory?

IN WARFARE, a Pyrrhic victory is a battlefield triumph that comes at so great a cost that it proves to be more ruinous for the victor than the vanquished. The original Pyrrhic victory was named after the Greek King Pyrrhus of Epirus, who had invaded Italy in 280BC in aid of Tarentum, a Greek-speaking Italian city, occupied by the Romans.

He arrived with 25,000 men and 20 war elephants and secured a famous victory at Heraclea. The following year, he defeated the Romans at Asculum. The phrase 'Pyrrhic victory' is an allusion to that battle.

John Dryden's translation of Plutarch's Pyrrhus (AD75) reports that both armies fought till sunset and were unwillingly separated by the night. Pyrrhus was wounded by a javelin in the arm and his baggage was plundered. Overall, 15,000 men, his troops and Romans, are reported to have died in the battle.
to have died in the battle.

'The armies separated; and, it is said, Pyrrhus replied to one that gave him joy of his victory, that one other such would utterly undo him. For he had lost a great part of the forces he brought with him, and almost all his particular friends and principal commanders; there were no others there to make recruits, and he found the confederates in Italy backward.'

The Battle of Malplaquet (1709) is often cited as the classic example of a Pyrrhic victory. After Charles II of Spain died without an heir in 1700, the War of the Spanish Succession erupted.

At Malplaquet, 86,000 Dutch, Austrian, Prussian and British troops under the Duke of Marlborough, hero of Blenheim, met a 75,000-strong French army.

The heavily entrenched French, under the capable Marshal Villars, allowed the alliance forces to advance, cutting down the Austrian and Dutch troops that were trying to flank them. Eventually, the flanks were overwhelmed and the British smashed the French centre. Despite the allies carrying the day, their casualties meant the French were able to make an organised retreat with much of their force still intact.

The French suffered 12,000 casualties, while Marlborough lost 24,000 men. Marshal Villars is said to have parodied Pyrrhus, telling King Louis XIV: 'If it please God to give your enemies another such victory, they are ruined.'

The end result was the removal of Marlborough and the collapse of the anti-French alliance in 1712.
Andrew Tyneman, Truro, Cornwall.


THE German invasion of Crete in 1941 was won at a huge cost, with reported losses of more than 4,000 men killed, and many more injured and missing, though Winston Churchill estimated the true figure to be far higher.

In addition, the German garrison on Crete tied up about 75,000 men on an island which, while of some strategic importance, was mostly sidelined until the German surrender in May 1945.

The immaculately kept German war cemetery outside Maleme is a testament to the folly of this victory and well worth a visit.
Gerard Quinn, Liverpool.

QUESTION Which battles best illustrate a pyrrhic victory?
FURTHER to the earlier answer, the ultimate pyrrhic victory was the Battle of Borodino in 1812. Napoleon hoped to end the disastrous Russia campaign by seizing Moscow, to force the Russians to peace.

Napoleon won, but his army suffered — 30-35,000 killed or wounded and many of his best officers died.
Entering Moscow he found it abandoned. He was forced into a ruinous retreat that destroyed his Grande Armee and career.
Ian Wiseman, Manchester.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS

Compiled by Charles Legge

Is the universe
one big brain?

QUESTION I recall a debate in which a scientist argued that the universe was a conscious entity. How might it be?

THIS idea is wrapped up in the ancient philosophy of panpsychism, the view that consciousness, mind or soul (psyche) is a universal feature of all things. Panpsychism was part of Stoicism, Taoism, and Buddhism.

It is possible to compare the interconnectivity of the human brain with that of the universe. The brain has 100 billion (10") neurones with at least 100 trillion (1014) neural connections, each neurone firing roughly 200 times per second.

For the universe, the galaxies are our small representative volumes, and there are something like 10" to 1012 stars in our galaxy, and 1014 in the largest galaxy, and perhaps something like 1011 to 1012 galaxies in the universe.

So the numbers for a brain and a large, fully-formed galaxy are comparable.

Panpsychists hold that a universal consciousness emerges from billions of interplanetary interactions, just as the brain emerges from the organisation of billions of subatomic particles. But there is a fundamental structural difference, in that neurones within a brain have a defined structure, while stars rapidly move closer and farther from one another under the influence of all the other masses within a galaxy.
Henry Adams, Birmingham.

QUESTION The Inventor Nikola Tesla said that if you understand the numbers three, six and nine, then you understand the universe. What did he mean by this?

NIKOLA TESLA was born in what is now Croatia in 1856 and went to the U.S. in 1884 to work for Thomas Edison at the famous inventor's Menlo Park laboratory in New Jersey.

He is known for his strange personality as well as his key contributions to science, including the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system.

There is no known source for the quote about the numbers three, six and nine being key to the understanding of the universe, so he probably never said it. However, the quote is similar to something he did say: 'If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.'

Tesla had an obsessive compulsive personality. In later life, his symptoms became extreme, including a hatred of jewellery and round objects and a fixation on the number three. He never owned his own home, preferring to live in hotel rooms, supposedly all with numbers divisible by three. When he died in 1943, it was in room 3327 of the New Yorker Hotel.

His fascination with the number three is probably the source of the quote.

Clearly, three does have significance in science: there are 360 degrees in a circle; three dimensions of space (height, width and depth); and three main types of matter (gaseous, liquid and solid).

However, you could equally argue the case for the number two. For example, cells and embryos develop following a binary pattern: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, etc.
James Cox, Loughborough, Leics.

QUESTION SHOULD THERE BE A 13th sign of the zodiac?

THE zodiac consists of a narrow band stars circling the heavens, through which, as seen from Earth, the Sun appears to move throughout the year.

Think of a fastened dog's collar with ping-pong ball in the centre and a marble close to the ball. A line is drawn all the way round the collar in the middle.

The inside of the collar represents ten zodiac band, the ball represents the Sun the marble the Earth. As the marble rotates around the ball, an observer of Earth will view various stars during or rotation, a year long.

During this journey, 13 constellation: can be viewed from Earth: these are the 13 zodiac constellations — the line drawl on the collar being the sun's apparent path and the width of the collar contain: the 13 constellations.

The 13th is called Ophiuchus (formerly Serpentarius). It represents a serpent bearer and is associated with the healer Aesculapius. The constellation is found between Scorpius and Sagittarius.

Observers can locate Ophiuchus easily at present as the planet Saturn will spend August nights in this constellation.

After the Moon (and the soon setting Jupiter), Saturn is the brightest object currently in the night sky. To its right (west) is the reddish star Antares, the red heart of the Scorpion (in Scorpius).

The sun passes through Ophiuchus from December 1 to December 17, so this will be the `star sign' for such birthdays.

It is worth pointing out that the Earth `wobbles' slightly as it rotates. This `wobbling' (called `precession') alters the constellation boundaries, so the dates when the Sun passes through traditional Zodiac constellations no longer apply.

Why Ophiuchus was left out of the original zodiac is not known. It might have been because ancient astrologers wanted to divide the 360 degree path of he Sun in a mathematically pleasing way — 12 equal parts, each one of 30 degrees.

“You can fool all the people some of the time, you can fool some of the people all the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time.”

https://www.quora.com/Who-said-You-can-fool-some-of-the-people-all-of-the-time-a...

I always thought it was Lincoln. See: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Where_... "Reported to have been said in one of his speeches at Clinton, Illinois, on 2nd ...Who said, "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time."?

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Where_...

"Reported to have been said in one of his speeches at Clinton, Illinois, on 2nd September 1858, but there is no contemporary evidence confirming that (like many other one-liners attributed to Lincoln) - see, for example, The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln, vol. 3, p. 81 (ed. Roy P. Basler). But this line has also been attributed to P. T. Barnum and (less commonly) to others.

The inversion that "You can please all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but not all of the people all of the time" has also been attributed to Lincoln, amongst others."

http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Abr...

"You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time. •This is probably the most famous of apparently apocryphal remarks attributed to Lincoln. Despite being cited variously as from an 1856 speech, or a September 1858 speech in Clinton, Illinois, there are no known contemporary records or accounts substantiating that he ever made the statement. The earliest known appearance is October 29, 1886 in the Milwaukee Daily Journal. It later appeared in the New York Times on August 26 and August 27, 1887. The saying was repeated several times in newspaper editorials later in 1887. In 1888 and, especially, 1889, the saying became commonplace, used in speeches, advertisements, and on portraits of Lincoln.

"You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time."

Abe Lincoln: You can fool some of the people some of the time ...

Richard Price Morgan (1909, p. 102) puts it in Bloomington in 1856:

"It was in the summer of the year that I received this letter
— 1856 — that I stood next to Lincoln and heard him say: “You can fool all the people some of the time, you can fool some of the people all the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time.” He was addressing an assemblage of about three or four hundred people from the raised platform of the entrance to the Pike House, in Bloomington, Ill., upon the subject of the Kansas-Nebraska Act, and reviewing the arguments of Douglas in support of it. His application of his epigram was so apt and so forcible that I have never forgotten it, and I believe that no verbal modification of it would be accurate."

 

“You can fool all the people some of the time, you can fool some of the people all the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time.”

Macbeth, Act III, Scene 4 :|: Open Source Shakespeare

https://www.opensourceshakespeare.org/views/plays/play_view.php?...Act...

Lady Macbeth. Pronounce it for me, sir, to all our friends; ... But now I am cabin'd, cribb'd, confined, bound in 1300. To saucy .... By the worst means, the worst. For mine own good, All causes shall give way: I am in blood 1440. Stepp'd in so far ...

Macbeth. I hear it by the way; but I will send:
There's not a one of them but in his house
I keep a servant fee'd. I will to-morrow,
And betimes I will, to the weird sisters:
More shall they speak; for now I am bent to know,
By the worst means, the worst. For mine own good,
All causes shall give way: I am in blood
Stepp'd in so far that, should I wade no more,
Returning were as tedious as go o'er:
Strange things I have in head, that will to hand;
Which must be acted ere they may be scann'd.

 

BY THE WORST MEANS THE WORST FOR MINE OWN GOOD

Precious: Talisman of Charlemagne (image omitted)

QUESTION Napoleon is said to have possessed the Talisman of Charlemagne. What was it and where is it now?

CHARLEMAGNE (or Carl the Great) was crowned Holy Emperor in AD 800. Also King of the Franks, he created an empire by conquering and Christianising the Saxons, Lombards and Avers, and restoring areas of Italy to Pope Leo III.

In gold filigree and epousse, his talisman is 7cm high and adorned with precious stones. On its front a glass cabochon magnifies a cross made of two fragments purported to be from the True Cross and on the back is a translucent sapphire.

One-year after his coronation, as a reward from the Pope for chasing the Lombards out of Italy, it was either Caliph Harun al-Rashid or Empress Irene of Athens who sent the talisman to Charlemagne. He is said to have worn it in battle and had it around his neck when he was buried in the Palatine Chapel in Aachen Cathedral, Germany.

The burial vault was opened numerous times over the years and each time bits of Charlemagne's remains and relics were stolen, some taken to be put into beautiful reliquaries in the city of Aachen.

It was there in the Summer of 1804, when the first wife of Napoleon Bonaparte, Josephine de Beauharnais, had gone to take the waters at Aachen that she was given the talisman (which is itself a reliquary) by a monsignor appointed by Napoleon.

Josephine kept the talisman for the rest of her life and left it to her daughter, Hortense de Beauharnais, in 1814.

Hortense treasured talismans and liked to give them to those she loved. So upon her death in 1837, she bequeathed it to her son, Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte (Napoleon III), who himself passed it on to his wife, Empress Eugenie.

Eugenie held on to it until her old age and originally intended to give the talisman back to Aachen, feeling it belonged there. But after World War I and upset with the Germans for the shelling of the Cathedral of Reims in France — seen as a deliberate act of vandalism and attack on French culture — she instead donated it to the cathedral in 1919. The talisman of Charlemagne became one of the treasures of the Tau Palace in Reims, where it stays today.

The trail of Christ's Grail

QUESTION What is the origin of the Holy Grail story?
What is a 'grail'?

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.

Musica universalis - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musica_universalis
Musica universalis (literally universal music), also called Music of the spheres or Harmony of the Spheres, is an ancient philosophical concept that regards proportions in the movements of celestial bodies—the Sun, Moon, and planets—as a form of musica (the Medieval Latin term for music).

Mysteries of the snowflake: The curious world of the ice-crystal experts.

Inevitably, though, the most common question is, how can Libbrecht be so sure no two snowflakes are ever identical? He likes to tell people that physics has a Zen-like answer, “which is that it depends largely on what you mean by the question. The short answer is that if you consider there’s over a trillion ways you could arrange 15 different books on your bookshelf, then the number of ways of making a complex snowflake is so staggeringly large that, over the history of our planet, I’m confident no two identical flakes have ever fallen. The long answer is more involved – depending on what you mean by ‘alike’ and ‘snowflake’. There could be some extremely small, simple-shaped crystals that looked so alike under a microscope as to be indistinguishable – and if you sifted through enough Arctic snow, where these simple crystals are common, you could probably find a few twins.”

"The short answer is that if you consider there’s over a trillion ways you could arrange 15 different books on your bookshelf,"

ways
Explanation:
Assume that all the books are distinct from one another.
There are:
9 ways to put the first book.
8 ways to put the second book after putting the first one.
7 ways to put the third book after putting the second one.
.
.
.
1 way to put the ninth book after putting the eighth one.
Multiply all the different number of ways together to get nine factorial.

Example: 9! equals 362,880. Try to calculate 10!

10! = 10 × 9!

10! = 10 × 362,880 = 3,628,800

The Green Eye of the Little Yellow God - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Green_Eye_of_the_Little_Yellow_God

The Green Eye of the Little Yellow God. ... And the Yellow God forever gazes down. It is set in Nepal ("to the north of" Kathmandu), and tells the tale of a wild young officer known as "Mad Carew", who steals the "green eye" of a "yellow god" (presumably an emerald in a gold statue) in order to

The Green Eye of the Yellow God is a 1911 poem by J. Milton Hayes that is a famous example of the genre of "dramatic monologue", which was a music hall staple in the early twentieth century.[1] The piece was written for and performed by actor and monologist Bransby Williams.[2][3]

The poem is influenced by the ballads of Rudyard Kipling and was often parodied, most famously by Billy Bennett as The Green Tie on the Little Yellow Dog.[4]

The opening lines are still very well known:[3]
There's a one-eyed yellow idol to the north of Khatmandu,There's a little marble cross below the town;There's a broken-hearted woman tends the grave of Mad Carew,And the Yellow God forever gazes down.
It is set in Nepal ("to the north of" Kathmandu), and tells the tale of a wild young officer known as "Mad Carew", who steals the "green eye" of a "yellow god" (presumably an emerald in a gold statue) in order to impress his beloved. He is wounded in the course of the robbery, and later murdered, presumably by a devotee of the god for the theft, who returns the jewel to the idol.

 

The Green Eye Of The Little Yellow God

There's a one-eyed yellow idol to the north of Khatmandu,
There's a little marble cross below the town;
There's a broken-hearted woman tends the grave of Mad Carew,
And the Yellow God forever gazes down.

He was known as "Mad Carew" by the subs at Khatmandu,
He was hotter than they felt inclined to tell;
But for all his foolish pranks, he was worshipped in the ranks,
And the Colonel's daughter smiled on him as well.

He had loved her all along, with a passion of the strong,
The fact that she loved him was plain to all.
She was nearly twenty-one and arrangements had begun
To celebrate her birthday with a ball.

He wrote to ask what present she would like from Mad Carew;
They met next day as he dismissed a squad;
And jestingly she told him then that nothing else would do
But the green eye of the little Yellow God.

On the night before the dance, Mad Carew seemed in a trance,
And they chaffed him as they puffed at their cigars:
But for once he failed to smile, and he sat alone awhile,
Then went out into the night beneath the stars.

He returned before the dawn, with his shirt and tunic torn,
And a gash across his temple dripping red;
He was patched up right away, and he slept through all the day,
And the Colonel's daughter watched beside his bed.

He woke at last and asked if they could send his tunic through;
She brought it, and he thanked her with a nod;
He bade her search the pocket saying "That's from Mad Carew,"
And she found the little green eye of the god.

She upbraided poor Carew in the way that women do,
Though both her eyes were strangely hot and wet;
But she wouldn't take the stone and Mad Carew was left alone
With the jewel that he'd chanced his life to get.

When the ball was at its height, on that still and tropic night,
She thought of him and hurried to his room;
As she crossed the barrack square she could hear the dreamy air
Of a waltz tune softly stealing thro' the gloom.

His door was open wide, with silver moonlight shining through;
The place was wet and slipp'ry where she trod;
An ugly knife lay buried in the heart of Mad Carew,
'Twas the "Vengeance of the Little Yellow God."

There's a one-eyed yellow idol to the north of Khatmandu,
There's a little marble cross below the town;
There's a broken-hearted woman tends the grave of Mad Carew,
And the Yellow God forever gazes down.

LOVE EVOLVE LOVE

 

 

KEEPER OF GENESIS  
Robert Bauval Graham Hancock 1996

Page 254

Professor Sagan then offers a comparison that is highly apposite to our present inquiry. '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. That common language is science and mathematics. The laws of Nature are the same everywhere.3

Extraterrestrial intelligence will be elegant, complex, internally consistent and utterly alien.

THE BIBLE CODE
Michael Drosnin 1997
Chapter Four
THE SEALED BOOK

Page 70

"The astronomer Carl Sagan once noted that if there was other intelligent life in the universe some of it would have certainly evolved far earlier than we did, and had thousands, or hundreds of thousands, or millions, or hundreds of millions of years to develop the advanced technology that we are only now beginning to develop.
'After billions of years of biological evolution - on their planet and ours - an alien civilization cannot be in technological lockstep with us,' wrote Sagan.
'There 'have been humans for more than twenty thousand centuries, but we've had radio only for about one century,' wrote Sagan. 'If alien civilizations are behind us, they're likely to be too far behind us to have radio. And if they're ahead of us, they're likely to be far ahead of us. Think of the technical advances on our world over just the last few centuries. What is for us technologically difficult or impossible, what might seem to us like magic, might for them be trivially easy.'
The author of 2001, Arthur C. Clarke - who envisioned a mysterious black monolith that reappears at successive stages of human evolution, each time we are ready to be taken to a higher level - made a similar observation:

'Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.'

 

 

OF TIME AND STARS

Arthur C. Clarke

Page 205

The Sentinel

"I can never look now at the Milky Way without wondering from which of those banked clouds of stars the emissaries are coming. If you will pardon so commonplace a simile, we have set off the fire alarm and have nothing to do but to wait.

I do not think we will have to wait for long.

 

I

CAN NEVER LOOK NOW AT THE MILKY WAY WITHOUT WONDERING

FROM WHICH OF THOSE BANKED CLOUDS OF STARS THE EMISSARIES ARE COMING.

IF YOU WILL PARDON SO COMMONPLACE A SIMILE,

WE HAVE SET OFF THE FIRE ALARM AND HAVE NOTHING TO DO BUT TO WAIT.

I DO NOT THINK WE WILL HAVE TO WAIT FOR LONG.

KEEPER OF GENESIS  
Robert Bauval Graham Hancock 1996

Page 252

Chapter 16
Message in a Bottle?
'We have reached this fascinating point in
our evolution. . . we have reached the time
when we know we can talk to each other
across the distances between the stars. . . '
Dr John Billingham, NASA Ames Research Center, 1995

"Together with the ancient texts and rituals that are linked to them, could the vast monuments of the Giza necropolis have been designed to transmit a message from one culture to another - a message not across space, but across time?
Egyptologists reply to such questions by rolling their eyes and hooting derisively, Indeed they would not be 'Egyptologists' (or at any rate they could not long remain within that profession) if they reacted with anything other than scorn and disbelief to suggestions that the necropolis might be more than a cemetery, that the Great Sphinx might significantly predate the epoch of 2500 BC, and that the Pyramids might not be just 'royal tombs'. By the same token, no self- respecting Egyptologist would be prepared to consider, even for a moment, the outlandish possibility that some sort of mysterious 'message' might have been encoded into the monuments.
So whom should we turn to for advice when confronted by what we suspect may be a message from a civilization so far distant from us in time as to be almost unknowable?
Anti-cipher
The only scientists actively working on such problems today are those involved in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence - SETI for / Page 253 / short. They endlessly sweep the heavens for messages from distant civilizations and they have therefore naturally had to give some thought to what might happen if they ever did identify such a message. According to Dr Philip Morisson of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology:
To begin with we would know very little about it. If we received it we would not understand what we're getting. But we would have an unmistakable signal, full of structure, full of challenge. The best people would try to decode it, and it will be easy to do because those who have constructed it would have made it easy to decode, otherwise there's no point. This is anti-cryptography: 'I want to make a message for you, who never got in touch with any symbols of mine, no key no clue, nevertheless you'll be able to read it . . .' I would have to fill it full of clues and unmistakable clever devices. . .1
In his book, Cosmos, Professor Carl Sagan of Cornell University makes much the same point - and does so, curiously enough, with reference to the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic system. He explains that the 'Egyptian hieroglyphics are, in significant part, a simple substitution cipher. But not every hieroglyph is a letter or syllable. Some are pictographs. . .' When it came to translation, this 'mix of letters and pictographs caused some grief for interpreters. . .' In the early nineteenth century, however, a breakthrough was made by the French scholar Champollion who deciphered the famous 'Rosetta Stone', a slab of black basalt bearing identical inscriptions in Egyptian hieroglyphics and in Greek. Since Champollion could read the Greek, all he needed was some kind of 'key' to relate specific hieroglyphs to specific Greek words or letters. This key was provided by the constant repetition in the Greek text of the name of Pharaoh Ptolemy V and an equal number of repetitions in the Egyptian text of a distinctive oblong enclosure - known as a cartouche - containing a repeated group of hieroglyphs. As Sagan comments:
The cartouches were the key. . . almost as though the Pharaohs of Egypt had circled their own names to make the going easier for Egyptologists two thousand years in the future. . . What a joy it must have been [for Champollion] to open this one-way communication channel with another civilization, to permit a culture that had been / Page 254 / mute for millennia to speak of its history, magic, medicine, religion, politics and philosophy.2
Professor Sagan then offers a comparison that is highly apposite to our present inquiry. '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. That common language is science and mathematics. The laws of Nature are the same everywhere.3
It seems to us that if there is indeed a very ancient 'message' at Giza then it is likely to be expressed in the language of science and mathematics that Sagan identifies - and for the same reason. Moreover, given its need to continue 'transmitting' coherently across thousands of years (and chasms of cultural change), we think that the composer of such a message would be likely to make use of the Precession of the Equinoxes, the one particular 'law of Nature' that can be said to govern, and measure - and identify - long periods of terrestrial time.
Durable vehicles
The Pyramids and the Great Sphinx at Giza are, above all else, as elegant, as complex, as internally consistent and as utterly 'alien' as the extraterrestrial intelligence that Sagan envisages (alien in the sense of the tremendous, almost superhuman scale of these structures and of their uncanny - and in our terms apparently unnecessary - precision).
Moreover, returning briefly to Dr Philip Morisson's remarks quoted earlier, we think that the Giza necropolis also qualifies rather well for the description 'packed full of clues and unmistakable clever devices'.4 Indeed, it seems to us that a truly astonishing quantum of / Page 255 / ingenuity was invested by the Pyramid builders to ensure that the four fundamental aspects of an 'unmistakable' message were thoroughly elaborated here:
1 the creation of durable, unequivocal markers which could serve as beacons to inflame the curiosity and engage the intelligence of future generations of seekers;
2 the use of the 'common language' of precessional astronomy;
3 the use of precessional co-ordinates to signal specific time- referents linking past to present and present to future;
4 Cunningly concealed store-rooms, or 'Halls of Records' that could only be found and entered by those who were fully initiated in the 'silent language' and thus could read and follow its clues.
In addition, though the monuments are enabled to 'speak' from the moment that their astronomical context is understood, we have also to consider the amazing profusion of funerary texts that have come down to us from all periods of Egyptian history - all apparently emanating from the same very few common sources.5 As we have seen, these texts operate like 'software' to the monuments' 'hardware', charting the route that the Horus-King (and all other future seekers) must follow.
We recall a remark made by Giorgio de Santillana and Hertha von Dechend in Hamlet's Mill to the effect that the great strength of myths as vehicles for specific technical information is that they are capable of transmitting that information independently of the knowledge of individual story-tellers.6 In other words as long as a myth continues to be told true, it will also continue to transmit any higher message that may be concealed within its structure - even if neither the teller nor the hearer understands that message.
So, too, we suspect, with the ancient Egyptian funerary texts. We would be surprised if the owners of many of the coffins and tomb walls onto which they were copied had even the faintest inkling that specific astronomical observations and directions were being dupli- cated at their expense. What motivated them was precisely what the texts offered - the lure of immortal life. Yet by taking that lure did they not in fact guarantee a kind of immortality for the texts themselves? Did they not ensure that so many faithful copies would / Page 256 / be made that some at least would be bound to survive for many thousands of years?
We think that there were always people who understood the true 'science of immortality' connected to the texts, and who were able to read the astronomical allegories in which deeper secrets, not granted to the common herd, lay concealed. We presume that these people were once called the 'Followers of Horus', that they operated as an invisible college behind the scenes in Egyptian prehistory and history, that their primary cult centre was at Giza-Heliopolis, and that they were responsible for the initiation of kings and the realization of blueprints. We also think that the timetables they worked to - and almost everything of significance that they did - was in one way or another written in the stars.
Hints and memories
The powerfully astronomical character of the Giza necropolis, although ignored by Egyptologists, has been recognized by open- minded and intuitive researchers throughout history. The Hermetic Neoplatonists of Alexandria, for example, appear to have been acutely sensitive to the possibility of a 'message' and were quick to discern the strong astral qualities of the textual material and the monuments.' 7 The scholar Proclus (fifth century AD) also acknowledged that the Great Pyramid was astronomically designed - and with certain specific stars in mind. Indeed, in his commentary on Plato's Timaeus (which deals with the story of the lost civilization of 'Atlantis'), Proclus reported strangely that 'the Great Pyramid was used as an observation for Sirius'.8
Vague memories of an astronomically constructed 'message' at Giza appear to have filtered down to the Middle Ages. At any rate the Arab chroniclers in this period spoke of the Great Pyramid as 'a temple to the stars' and frequently connected it to the Biblical 'Flood' which they dated to circa 10,300 BC.9 Also of relevance is a report written by the Arab geographer Yakut al Hamawi (eleventh century AD) to the effect that the star-worshippers of Harran, the Sabians (whose 'holy books' were supposedly the writings ofThoth-Hermes) came at that time on special pilgrimages to the Pyramids at Giza.10 It / Page 257 / has also been pointed out that the very name of the Sabians - in Arabic Sa' Ba - almost certainly derived from the ancient Egyptian word for star, i.e. Sba..11 And the reader will recall from Part I that as far back as the early second millennium BC - i.e. almost three thousand years before Yakut al Hamawi left us his report connecting the Sabians to the Pyramids - pilgrims from Harran are known to have visited the Sphinx which they worshipped as a god under the name Hwl.12
In the seventeenth century, the British mathematician Sir Isaac Newton became deeply interested in the Great Pyramid and wrote a dissertation on its mathematical and geodetic qualities based on data that had been gathered at Giza by Dr John Greaves, the Savillian Professor of Astronomy at Oxford.13 Later, in 1865 the Astronomer Royal of Scotland, Charles Piazzi Smyth, launched an investigation into the Great Pyramid which he was convinced was an instrument of prophecy that incorporated a Messianic 'message'. It was Piazzi Smyth who first accurately measured and demonstrated the intense polar and meridional alignments of the monument, the precision of which he assigned to sightings of the ancient Pole star, Alpha Draconis.14
In the first half of the twentieth century, a succession of eminent astronomers - such as Richard Proctor, Eugene Antoniadi, Jean Baptiste Biot and Norman Lockyer - made persistent attempts to draw attention to the astronomical qualities of the Giza monuments. Their efforts, however, had little impact on professional Egyptolo-gists who by this time felt that they had got the whole intellectual business of the necropolis 'wrapped up' (it was a cemetery), did not understand astronomy at all (and claimed that the ancient Egyptians didn't either), and routinely ganged up to debunk, deride or simply ignore any astronomical 'theories' which diverged from their consensus.
Despite this hostile intellectual climate, we are of the opinion at the end of our own research that the big question is no longer whether the monuments of Giza were designed to express key astronomical and mathematical principles, but why.
Once again, the clue may lie in the narrow star-shafts of the Great Pyramid.

Page 258

The language of the stars

The first major breakthrough in understanding the function of the Great Pyramid's shafts was made in. the summer of 1963 by the American astronomer Virginia Trimble and the Egyptologist-architect, Dr Alexander Badawy. It came about because they decided to follow up Badawy's 'hunch' that the shafts might not be 'ventilation channels' as Egyptologists supposed, 15 but might instead prove to have a symbolic function related to the astral rituals of the Pyramid builders. Virginia Trimble was able to buttress her colleague's intuition by showing that the shafts from the King's Chamber had pointed, in the epoch of 2500 BC, to major star systems that were of crucial importance to the Pyramid builders. As readers will recall from Part I, the northern shaft had been targeted on Alpha Draconis - the Pole Star in the Pyramid Age - and the southern shaft had been targeted on Orion's belt.16
Today Virginia Trimble is a senior professor of astronomy at UCLA and the University of Maryland and is also the Vice-President of the American Astronomical Society. Her views, as well as being enlightened by a comprehensive grasp of astronomy, accord fully with common sense:
Which constellations the Egyptians saw in the sky is still something of a mystery. . . but they had one constellation that was an erect standing man, Osiris, the god. And the one constellation that looks like a standing man to everyone is Orion, and the identification between a deceased Pharaoh and the god Osiris made Orion immediately a candidate for a shaft whose sole purpose was to enable the soul of the Pharaoh to communicate between earth and sky. . .17
When we met Virginia Trimble we immediately realized we were in the presence of an acute and formidable thinker. Alexander Badawy had passed away in the late 1980s yet she remained undaunted. She had concluded that the shafts were astronomically aligned, she said, and that they had an astronomical function, because logic and evidence dictated that this was the case.
Trimble's views have won general acceptance amongst senior astronomers. To give one recent example, Dr Mary Bruck of Edinburgh, writing in the Journal of the British Astronomical / Page 259 / Association in 1995, had this to say about the shafts: 'Their alignments are ... compatible with the hypothesis that they indicate the culmination of certain important stars around the 25th century BC . . . The addition of a Sirius shaft [southern shaft of the Queen's Chamber] to the Orion one strongly supports the claim that they have an astronomical significance.' 18

Thought-tools

We suggest that one of the major objectives of the unseen academy, whose members were known as the 'Followers of Horus', was to 'fix' the epoch of 2500 BC (i.e. 4500 years before the present) by using the Great Pyramid, its precisely angled shafts, and the stars of Orion's belt. We suggest that they envisaged those stars rather like the gauge of a gigantic sliding scale set across the south meridian. Once this 'thought-tool' was in place all they needed to do in order to determine a date either in the past or in the future was mentally to 'slide' the belt up or down the meridian from the 'zero point' targeted by the southern shaft of the King's Chamber.
We also suggest that a second and somewhat similar 'thought-tool' was attached to the ecliptic (the apparent annual path of the sun through the twelve constellations of the zodiac). Here the gauge was the vernal point. By mentally sliding it to the left (east) or to the right (west) of a 'fixed' marker on the ecliptic the 'Followers of Horus' would once again have been able to determine and denominate either a past date or a date in the future. . .
In our own epoch, circa AD 2000, the vernal point is poised to enter the sign or 'Age' of Aquarius. For a little over 2000 years it has been passing through Pisces (160 BC to AD 2000) and before that it was in Aries (2320 BC to 160 BC).ln the Pyramid Age the vernal point slowly swept through Taurus (4480 BC to 2320 BC). Going further back we reach the 'Ages' of Gemini (6640 BC to 4480 BC) and then Cancer (8800 BC to 6640 BC). After six 'Great Months' we reach the Age of Leo (10,960BC to 8800 BC).
Now imagine that we find an ancient document at Giza which states that it was composed when the vernal point was in the sign of the Ram - i.e. when the sun on the spring equinox rose against the / Page 260 / stellar background of the constellation of Aries. Armed with this information all that we can do is roughly bracket the document's date as being somewhere between 2320 BC and 160 BC. What we need in order to arrive at a more precise chronology is some means to 'fine-tune' the vernal point. It is here that the specific utility of the sliding scale at the meridian becomes apparent because if the ancient document not only stated which zodiacal sign housed the vernal point but also advised that the lowest star of Orion's belt crossed the meridian at an altitude of 50 degrees above the horizon then we would be able, using precession, to calculate with great accuracy that the date in question must be very near 1400 BC.19
The Pyramid Age occurred when the vernal point was in Taurus and, as we have seen, the fine-tuning permitted by the 45-degree angle of the Great Pyramid's 'Orion shaft' draws particular attention to the date of 2500 BC. With this date, 4500 years before the present, we can use precession to calculate the exact position of the vernal point - which, as the reader will recall, was near the head of the Hyades-Taurus at that time, close to the right (i.e. west) bank of the Milky Way.
The reader will also not have forgotten that this is the 'address' given in the Pyramid Texts as the starting point for the cosmic journey of the solar Horus-King. It is here that he receives his instructions to board the solar-bark and 'sail' across the Milky Way towards the 'horizon' to meet up with Horakhti. His direction of travel is, therefore, eastwards, i.e. to the left of the vernal point. In terms of the chronology of the 'Great Year' of precession (as distinct from the solar year), this means that the Horus-King is now poised to travel back in time towards the age of Leo-Horakhti and to a specific spot on the ecliptic path - 'The Splendid Place of the "First Time" ', . . . 'the place more noble than any place'.20
But where is that place? How is the Horus-King (initiate, seeker) to find it in the 2160-year, 30-degree swathe that the constellation of Leo occupies on the ecliptic?
The answer is that he would have to use the gauge of Orion's belt at the meridian to fine-tune the exact place of the vernal point and hence also to arrive at an exact date. In his mind's eye he would have to slide / Page 261 / the belt 'down' the meridian to its 'First Time' and then see how far to the east that operation had 'pushed' the vernal point along the ecliptic.
Wherever that place was would be the celestial destination that the 'Followers of Horus' were urging him to reach.
And it would, of course, have its counterpart on the ground at Giza, in the vicinity of the lion-bodied Sphinx. "
