" A more significant insight can be gained by monitoring brain activity through a device called an electroencephalogram (EEC). Eec data show fundamental differences in patterns of brain activity between sleeping and waking, i.e. between night and day. At night, when we sleep, the EEC records a regular rhythmic sequence of brain waves of relatively low frequency. These are called delta waves. Delta waves occur much of the time in infants, who spend long periods asleep. During deep sleep, the brain generates a higher frequency pattern which is associated with a rapid twitching of the eyes (hence the term REM sleep or rapid eye improvement sleep). Significantly, ultrasound imaging techniques show that such REM activity occurs constantly in unborn babies. Is this because the foetal brain is initially attuned only to its primal darkness, its original dreaming state, and only slowly learns to adjust to the activating effects of sunlight?"

The good brother continues
"When we are fully awake, brain waves take a different and more complex form. Simplistically, when we are awake but relaxed the EEC records a slow, regular pattern called an alpha wave. When we become excited or alert, the pattern changes
again into a more complicated sequence of small, rapidly fluctuating waves called a beta wave pattern.
The brain, then, reveals through its electrical activity, several quite different states which are strongly correlated with night and day. The basis of our consciousness is cyclic and repetative. After ten years of life, a child has experienced about 3650 day/night cycles. Its psychology has been totally and irreverseibly structured in terms of this periodicity; it accepts unconsciously, instinctively, that light follows dark."

"This periodic and reiterative structure of consciousness is en-coded in our very speech. The latin prefix 're' usually has the sense /
Page 102 / of 'again'. Can it be coincidence that the words we use to describe our fundamental myths and activities are not things we do but things we do again?
representation reincarnation
recognition rebirth
resurrection
Even the word re-ligion may fit this pattern: one of its possible meanings is 'bind (join) again'. In the Christian tradition, we are told that Christ 'rose again from the dead', despite the fact that the resurrection of his body was supposedly an unique, once-off affair. Taken together, these facts tell us something quite fundamen-tal - that there is a natural and inevitable association between the concept of an afterlife and the enduring legacy of cyclic time. Far from being an innovation or an invention, the religious idea of rebirth, of life (light) after death (dark), is an expression of one of the oldest aspects of life on earth."
"… circadian rhythmns (from Latin circa meaning about, die meaning day)…"
Page 105 "The intimate relationship between the basic day/night brain cycle and the saga of death and rebirth in ancient Egypt is powerfully shown in the union of Osiris, Lord of the Dead, with Re, the sun God. One can see the link clearly in the reconstructed burial ritual of Tutankhamun. After the young King's body had been mummified and encased in its golden shell, ceremony focused on resurrection - the rebirth of the dead God.
Rather than recount this ceremony, which was exceedingly complex, I will quote passages from the elegant description by Egyptologist Christine Desroches- Noblecourt which clearly show how deeply the day/night cycle shaped the Egyptian concept of rebirth after death. Thus:
At the end of his arduous search for survival, the dead Osiris
would appear in the aspect of the rising sun, Re
the graves of the masters of Thebes repeated the dramatic story
of the sun's gestation and its rebirth at the fifth hour
emulating the sun, the king was to draw from the world of the
dead renewed strength for his morning rebirth
there remained the last act of the drama rebirth. The room the
excavators called the annexe was entirely dedicated to this, and
its door, which faces East, suggests that it was deliberately
oriented in this direction to favour the pharaoh's rising
after his transformation Osiris the King was to spring from the
horizon as Re, star of day
What could be clearer?
Experts on religion may object that the Pharaohs were 'God-Kings' hence the mode of their burial is not representative of the common faith of ancient Egypt. This may be true as regards the grandeur of the burial ceremonies, but the indestructable link between Egyptian belief in an afterlife and the image of the sun goes back to the roots of Egyptian life. Listen to this hymn to the sun God Re by an unknown Egyptian simply code-named N:
the balance, who give food and provisions: O Tatenen, Unique
One, creator of mankind; O Southern, Northern, Western and
Eastern Enneads, give praise to Re, Lord of the Sky, the Sover- /

While spinning daily on its own axis, the earth also orbits the sun (again in an anti-clockwise direction) on a path which is slightly elliptical rather than completely circular. It pursues this orbit at truly breakneck speed, travelling as far along it in an hour - 66, 600 miles - …"

"The plane of the earth's orbit projected outwards to form a great circle in the celestial sphere, is known as the ecliptic. Ringed around the ecliptic, in a starry belt that extends approximately 7º north and south are the twelve constellations of the Zodiac: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpius Sagittarius, Capricor-nus, Aquarius and Pisces. These constellations are irregular in size, shape and distribution. Nevertheless (and one assumes by chance!) their spacing around the rim of the ecliptic is sufficiently even to bestow a sense of cosmic order upon the diurnal risings and settings of the sun"

"The celebrated atomic scientist, Niels Bohr, when he was a student, had a strange dream. He saw himself on a Sun consisting of burning gas. Planets whizzed by, whistling as they passed. They were attached to the Sun by thin filaments, and revolved round it. Suddenly the gas solidified and the Sun and planets crumbled away. Niels Bohr then woke up and realized that he had just dis- covered the model of the atom, so long sought after. The 'Sun' was the fixed centre round which the electrons revolve. The whole of modem atomic physics and its applications have come out of this dream.
The chemist Augusta Kekule tells the following story: 'One summer's evening I was on the platform of my bus, on my way home, and went to sleep. I saw clearly and distinctly how, on every side, the atoms united in couples which were then merged in larger groups which, in their turn, were attracted by others still more powerful; and all these corpuscles were spinning round in a frenzied dance. I spent part of that night transcribing what I had seen in my dream. I had hit upon the theory of atomic structure.'
After reading in the newspapers accounts of the bombardment of London, an engineer of the American Bell telephone company had a dream one night in the Autumn of 1940 in which he saw himself drawing the plan of an apparatus which would enable an anti-aircraft gun to be aimed at the exact spot where an aeroplane whose speed and trajectory were known, would pass. On awakening he traced the blueprint 'from memory'. A study of this apparatus, which was to use radar for the first time, was undertaken by the eminent scientist Norbert Wiener, and Wiener's report on this machine resulted in the birth of cybemetics.
'One certainly ought not to underestimate,' wrote Lovecraft (in Beyond the Walls of Sleep) 'the gigantic importance of dreams.' Nor will it be possible in the future to dismiss as negligible the phenomena of precognition, whether in dreams or in a state of wakefulness.

An American mathematician noticed that the earlier pages in books of logariths kept in his university library were dirtier than later ones, indicating that science students, for some rea-son, had more occasion to calculate with numbers beginning with 1 than with any other number.(261)He made a collection of tables and calculated the relative frequency of each digit from 1 to 9.Theoretically they should occur equally of-ten, but he found 30 per cent of the numbers were 1, wheras 9 only occupied 5 per cent of the space. These are almost exactly the proportions given to these numbers on the scale of a slide rule, so the designers of that instrument clearly recognized that such a bias existed. This preponderance of the number 1 may have been caused by the fact that the tables were not really random, but bigger tables provide a similar bias. The ecologist Lamont Cole worked with a rand corporation publication that gives a million random digits.(262) He selected numbers at regular intervals to represent
Page 109 / the level of metabolic activity of a unicorn at the end of each hour over a long period.There should have been no relationship between numbers and no kind of cyclic pattern, but Cole is now credited with the shattering zoological discovery that unicorns are busiest at three o clock in the morning .(77) It is possible that these discrepancies may be due to some peculiarity in our way of counting , but it looks as though the bias follows a natural law. Nature seems to count exponen-tially. Not 12345, but 124816, The numbers growing by a logarithmic power each time. Population increases in this way, and, even at an individual level, things such as the strength of a stimulus and the level of response to it vary in an ex-ponetial way.This is, however, no more than an observation; it does not explain the anomalous way in which numbers behave.
The unexpected groupings of similar numbers is something like the unusual grouping of circumstances we call co-incidence. Everyone has had the experience of coming across a new word or name for the first time and then seeing it in a dozen different places in quick succession. Or of finding oneself in a small group of people, three of whom have the same birthdays. Often these coincidences come in clusters: some days are particularly lucky while on others it is just one damn thing after another. Several people have made it part of their life's work to collect information on coincidence of this kind .
The biologist Kammerer was one, and it was he who gave the name of the phenomenon seriality. He defines a series
"as a lawful occurrence of the same or similar things or events…which are not connected by the same active course"
and claims that coincidence is in reality the work of a natural principle. (171)

"…Ramsey Theory. Named after Frank Ram-sey, a Cambridge Mathemati-cian clearly destined for great things but who died in 1930 at the age of 26 Ramsey Theory focuses on the relationships that exist within collections of objects -…'
In 1928 Ramsey showed that when such groups exceed a certain size,they always contain cliques of mutual interest"
It is when one calculates the size of gathering required to produce cliques of a given size that Ramsey Theory reveals its hidden depths. One can show that in any gathering of six people there will always be a clique of at least three people who are either mutual acquaint-ances or who have never met …'
Some years ago, mathmeticians proved that a gathering of 18 people guarantees a clique of four mutual acquaintances or strangers, the number needed to guaran-tee a clique of five is unknown: the best guess is a crowd of between 43 and 49 people.Whatever the size of the gather-ing, there is always a chance that people will find things in common with each other. Indeed the chances are sur-prisingly high .For example,a random gathering of just five people give better than evens odds that at least two will share the same star sign. Among a party of 23,there's a 50:50 chance that at least two will share the same birthday. Even a gathering of just four people have a better than even odds that at least two were born on the same day of the week."

".(171) Kammerer spent days just sitting in public places noting down the number of people passing, the way they dressed what they carried , and so on. When he analyzed these records,he found that there was typical clusters of / things that occurred together and then disappeared altogether."
" These "coincidental "clusters are a real phenomenon .Kam-merer explains them by his Law of Seriality, which says that working in opposition to the second law of thermodynamics is a force that tends towards symetery and coherance bringing like and like together. In a strange, illogical way, this idea is rather persuasive, but there is no good scientific evidence to support it and the theory is not very important to us here .It is enough to know that there is a discernible organization of events.Taken together with musical and artistic harmony, with the non-randomness of numbers, and with the periodicity of planetery movements, we begin to get a picture of an en-viroment in which there are recognizable patterns. Super-imposed on the cosmic chaos are rhythms and harmonies that control many aspects of life on earth by a communication of energy made possible by the shape of things here and their resonance in sympathy with cosmic themes.

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?
'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:
If the 'precessional message' identified by scholars like Santillana, von Dechend and Jane Sellers is indeed a deliberate attempt at communi- cation 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

More difficult are rhenium from the Rhine (Latin: Rhenus) and ruthenium for Russia (Latin: Ruthenia) from its discovery in the Urals. States and cities can be spotted in the landscape; they include californium and berkelium, both acknowledging the awesome contri- bution of the University of California at Berkeley to the extension of the kingdom. Disguise, as I mentioned, has often been applied, and sometimes a city is an etymologi- cally subterranean presence: Hafnium, in the western Isth- mus, is a more than flimsy disguise for Copenhagen (Latin: Hafnia). Holmium, one of the lanthanides, is per- haps easier to penetrate, giving way under reflection to Stockholm (Latin: Holmia). Beneath lutetium lies Paris (Lutetia, City of Light).

"Often these coincidences come in clusters: "
"Several people have made it part of their life's work to collect information on coincidence of this kind ."
The biologist Kammerer was one, and it was he who gave the name of the phenomenon seriality. He defines a series
"as a lawful occurrence of the same or similar things or events…which are not connected by the same active course"
and claims that
coincidence is in reality the work of a natural principle. (171)

"The novelist Arthur Koestler, who had a great interest in synchronicity, coined the term 'library angel' to describe the unknown agency responsible for the lucky breaks researchers sometimes get which lead to exactly the right information being placed in their hands at exactly the right moment."

A QUEST FOR THE HIDDEN LEGACY OF MANKIND
Robert Bauval Graham Hancock 1996
The Sphinx itself - Hor-em-Akhet - stands partially sunk, or 'buried' in that enclosure (and thus in the 'Horizon of Giza') with only its massive head and shoulders protruding out of the groundline. Once ag-ain the images of sky and ground match perfectly at 10,500 BC and in no other epoch. . .
Treasure map I
We said earlier that in the architectural-astronomical system of the Pyramid builders the position of the vernal point along the ecliptic which denoted the 'Splendid Place of the "First Time'" was considered to be 'controlled' by the position of Osiris-Orion at the meridian: 'slide' Orion's belt up from its location at 2500 BC and the vernal point is 'pushed' westwards around the ecliptic (and forward in time) in the direction Taurus - Aries - Pisces - Aquarius; 'slide' it down and the vernal point is pushed 'east', i.e. back in time, in the direction Taurus - Gemini - Cancer - Leo. So in 10,500 BC, with the belt stars fully 'slid down' to their lowest possible altitude above the horizon, how far around the ecliptic has the vernal point been 'pushed? We know it is in Leo. But where in Leo?
Computer simulations show that it lay exactly 111.111 degrees east of the station that it had occupied at 2500 BC. Then it had been at the head of the Hyades-Taurus close to the right bank of the Milky Way; 8000 years earlier it lay directly under the rear paws of the constellation of Leo.

This is strikingly non-random.These two 'random' numbers thus have a special property. Heinz Pagels,who gives this example in his book The Cosmic Code, draws from this illustration a conclu- / Page 222 / sion that goes to the heart of my argument about synchronistic cross-linkaging . He says:
This illustrates that two random sequences can be correlated-each is individually chaotic but, if properly compared by using
some rule, then a non-random pattern appears.If I am right, analgous cross-likages at the quantum level may be the fine gossamer threads, fragile in themselves, but indestructible in their collective strength, that hold the cosmos in a self-consistent loop of becoming.
Y nodes, choices, thus emerge as the determinants of the pattern of our psychological development. Because of them,
we create our own heaven, our own hell, we create ourselves, we create the very fabric of the world."
With this discussion of synchronicity and self- consistency, we have arrived at the point where we can begin to see the strange relation-ship between consciousness and the universe, between the 'thought' within and the 'thing' without.
We have established that consciousness cannot be treated sepa-rately from the 'reality' it observes. We can assert this confidently. It is now a (virtually) unchallengeable maxim of quantum mechanics that each act of observation
causes the ripple of possibilities of the quantum wave to 'concretise into entities with an observable and measureable existence.In Chapter 9, I postulated that consciousness is that unifying activity in the brain that 'sees' one in many.
However, conscious-ness is not just a passive reciever. By its choices, it creates unities. Indeed, its very essence is that it acts as a nodal integrator between the quantum ripples of possibility that emanate from both past and future. It is if you like, the reality slit into which multiple ripples / Page 223 / of possibility enter, leaving the temporally symmetric quantum world and 'falling' into the one-way world of matter which decays with time.

Einstein stated that the geometric structure of space-time determines the physical processes I theorise that space and time manifest from the geometric harmonies of the wave-motions of light. The fundamental harmonic of light in free space, in geometric terms being an angular velocity of 144, 000 minutes of arc per grid second, there being 97, 200 grid seconds to one revolution of the earth.

KEEPER OF GENESIS
A QUEST FOR THE HIDDEN LEGACY OF MANKIND
Robert Bauval Graham Hancock 1996
Page 250
"We note in passing that if the Horus-King could have been provided with the 'special number' 111.111, and had used it in the way described above, it would have led him back to (72 x 111 . 111 years =) 7,999.99 years before the specified 'ground zero', i.e. to almost exactly 8000 years before 2500 BC - in short, to 10,500 BC.
We know this seems like wishful numerology of the worst sort - i.e. 'factoring in' an arbitrary value to a set of calculations so as to procure spurious 'corroboration' for a specific desired date (in this case the date of 10,500 BC, twelve and a half thousand years before the present, that we have already highlighted in Chapter 3 in connection with the Sphinx and the Pyramids of Giza). The problem, however, is that the number 111.111 may well not be an arbitrary value. At any rate, it has long been recognized that the main numerical factor in the design of the Great Pyramid, and indeed of the Giza necropolis as a whole, is the prime number 11 - a prime number being one that is only divisible by itself to produce the whole number 1. Thus 11 divided by 11, i.e. the ratio 11:11, produces the whole number 1 (while 11 divided by anything else, i.e. any other ratio, would, of neccessity, generate a fraction).
What is intriguing is the way that the architecture of the Great Pyramid responds to the number 11 when it is divided, or multiplied, by other whole numbers. The reader will recall, for example, that its side length of just over 755 feet is equivalent to 440 Egyptian royal cubits - i.e. 11 times 40 cubits. 33 In addition, its height-to}-base ratio is 7:11.34 The slope ratio of its sides is 14:11 (tan 51 degrees 50').35 And the slope ratio of the southern shaft of the King's Chamber - the shaft
that was targeted on Orion's belt in 2500 BC - is 11:11 (tan 45 degrees ).36
Arguably, therefore, the ratio 11 : 11, which integrates with our / Page 250 / 'special number' 111.1 11, could be considered as a sort of mathemati-cal key, or 'stargate' to Orion's belt. Moreover, as we shall see, a movement of 111. 111 degrees 'backwards along the ecliptic from 'ground-zero' at the Hyades-Taurus, the head of the celestial bull, would place the vernal point 'underneath' the cosmic lion.
Is it not precisely such a location, underneath the Great Sphinx, that the Horus-King is urged to investigate as he stands between its paws 'with his mouth equipped' and faces the questions of the Akhus whose initiations have led him this far? Indeed, does it not seem probable that the 'quest-journey' devised by the 'Followers of Horus' was carefully structured so as to sharpen the mind of the initiate by requiring him to piece together all the clues himself until he finally arrived at the realization that somewhere underneath the Great Sphinx of Giza was something (written or pictorial records, artefacts, maps, astronomical charts) that touched on 'the knowledge of a divine origin', that was of immense importance, and that had been concealed there since the 'First Time'?
In considering such questions, we are reminded of the Hermetic doctrines which transmit a tradition of the wisdom god Thoth who was said to have 'succeeded in understanding the mysteries of the heavens [and to have] revealed them by inscribing them in sacred books which he then hid here on earth, intending that they should be searched for by future generations but found only by the fully worthy'.37 Do the 'sacred books of ' Thoth', or their equivalent, still lie in the bedrock beneath the Great Sphinx of Giza, and do the 'fully '. worthy' still seek them there? :
The Death Of Forever
A New Future for Human Consciousness
Darryl Reanney (1995 Edition)
Page 25
" One of the most important branches of physics is called Quantum theory, because it deals with the tiny packages of energy (quanta ) that comprise the subatomic micro world. Light which we normally think of as an electro magnetic wave, can also be visualized as a stream of tiny particles-quanta-called photons. Conversely , Subatomic entities like electrons are commonly considered as tiny particles but under certain experimental conditions they exhibit a wave like character. This wave / particle duality is a cornerstone of quantum physics
The bizarre side of quantum theory comes when we try to figure out what a quantum particle like an electron actually is. One thing it is not is a particle in the ordinary sense of a speck of matter which occupies both a defined amount of space and a defined position in space Physicists in the 1920s and 1930s discovered that it is impossible to determine the position and the velocity of an electron at the same time. This is not a flaw in in technique. Rather, the electron, in a fundamental sense, does not have a specific position /
Page 26 / and velocity the uncertainty is an in built feature of our real world, not a fault of our instruments
"A deeper understanding revealed the quixotic fact that a particle like an electron has only a certain mathematical probability of being found in any one spot.This probability has a ripple or wave-like form, but it is more like a 'crime wave'- a statistical distribution - than a physical undulation
" The basis of matter , then , when examined intimately, dissolves into a ghostlike intangibility ; the quantum wave is a mathematical wraith , a ripple of possibilities."
"The quantum wave only has this wraithlike character when it is not being looked at. When an observer intrudes, when a scientist for example, tries to measure the properties of an electron the, the ghostly wave function collapses.The particle becomes real it can now be specifically assigned a fixed location, with a probability of 1,i.ea certainty
This is a staggering conclusion .It means that consciousness is not an observer in the dynamics of the universe; it is an active participant. Consciousness , literally and factually, creates reality , by summoning forth material particles,
definable certainties, from the elusive quantum wave .Objective 'reality' in this perspective falters on the brink of a profound ambiguity. Subject and object; mind and matter are not separate; they interact and interlock."
When the thats away the how's will play said Zed Aliz to the scribe .

" The laws of physics have no inbuilt time asymmetery.They work just as well in the future-to-past sense as the past-to-future sense. We see this clearly when we look at the quantum wave .The wave is a ripple of possibility, not a real thing It has neither past nor future; it can be described as travelling forwards in time and backward in time with equal validity. This is true not just of the quantum wave. Subatomic particles exhibit the same disregard for time. In the last half century physics has unearthed a garden of so-called 'fundamental particles' - mesons, positrons, neutrinos, etc. For each of these particles of ordinary matter there exists an antiparticle of equal mass but opposite 'charge' (antimatter)
Page 34 According to modern physics, both the quantum wave and the physical particles that constitute matter are symmetric with respect to the direction of time. The spacetime landscape , at least as far as quanta are concerned, can be crossed with equal ease.
Page 95 '…1923'…'Kahil Gibran'…
" Forget not that I shall come back to you
A little while, and my longing shall gather dust and foam for
another body
A little while, a moment of rest upon the wind, and another
woman shall bear me"
Page 209 "At this stage in the evolution of our minds, our experience of reality is like that of a shadow, a limited, impoverished ghost-image projected into the three dimensions of our present (average) mode of consciousness by the invisible (to us ) four-dimensional 'truth structure' that lies beyond and behind it, extended in time as we are extended in space. I cannot stress too strongly that it is this four-dimensional truth structure which is the universe's reality. What we call objective reality, our everyday commonsense world, is but a dim phantom construct of the timeless hyperstructure that exists, in or perhaps as, the 'mind of God', to use religious imagery. Yet, just as our present three-dimensional state of consciousness evolved from the one dimensional mode of our remote ancestors, so there is abundant evidence that the four-dimensional mode is struggling to be born in the homo sapiens species at this human moment in the cosmic story we are almost there."
"…This seems to bring us to the end of our quest.Yet one problem remains and like all final problems, it is the greatest one of all, sticking like a thorn in the vision of hope which the inner eye holds out to us. The cosmos is a spacetime continium and in this regard, the poet's intuition of a timeless state of consciousness merely /
Page 210 / reflects the facts of the physical universe as science depicts them.However timelessness implies foreverness and the same science that reveals spacetime to us also tells us that the universe will one day end in fire or ice.
The death of forever. The fact that the very cosmos in which we live is 'mortal' This was where this journey started and it is from this existentialist crisis of truly universal proportions that this book gets its name.At the finish of the race, we seem to run head-on into one last, unresolvable paradox, just as light was dawning. Something that seems to make our intuition of timelessness as insubstantial as a lovely vision, dreamed by a dreamer in a quiet time but dissolving like a snowflake at first contact with brute fact.
Is this really the case? In chapter 7, I discussed a recent model of spacetime put forward by Stephen Hawking"
"…Hawking built a model of the cosmos which he called the 'no boundary' model because in his theory, time does not begin at a 'point' nor does it end in one (Figure 7.3.).From the earlier perspec-tive of Chapter 7, this model seemed from many points of view unsatisfactory, because it used imaginary time, not real time. Chapter 9 gives the model a new source of credibility for it is characteristic of the inner eye that it can disregard the 'commonsense' aspects of experience and penetrate to the inner logic of nature.
Thus when the inner eye 'sees a circle, a mandela, and recog-nises therein some form of flawnessness, it is, at a different level, seeing the endless number 3.1415926…It may be significant we call such numbers trancendental. Indeed, science builds its deepest truths using numbers that are, in an important sense, 'illogical'. The square root of minus one is imaginary (it is in fact, part of the number system Hawking uses to build his model ). The square root of 2 is irrational. And so it goes on.
Moreover, the word 'imaginary', like all symbols invented by the conceptual mind, confuses the issue by implying that such numbers are in some way 'unreal' This is fundamentally false. As Hawking's colleague
mathematician, Roger Penrose, says cryptically:
Page 211 It is important to stress the fact that these 'imaginary' numbers are no less real than the real numbers we have become accustomed to…the relationship between such real numbers and physical reality is not as direct or compelling as it may at first seem to be…
We find a similar situation in particle physics where the so-called ultimate building blocks of matter (quarks) are given such mythic names as 'strange', charmed etc. At this deep level of reality, the distinction between scientist and poet breaks down and scien-tists use the language of song and parable in their intuitive attempts to seek out the basic structures of the world.
To return to my point, I find it fascinating that Hawking himself recognises that his use of imaginary time, far from being a ruse or trick, may in fact be a door to a higher order of insight. Listen to his own words:
This might suggest that the so-called imaginary time is really the
real time and that what we call real time is just a figment of our
imaginations. In real time, the universe has a beginning and an
end at singularities that form a boundary to space- time and at
which the laws of science break down. But in imaginary time,
there are no singularities or boundaries. So maybe what we call
imaginary time is really more basic, and what we call real is just
an idea that we invent to help us describe what we think the universe is like.
This goes to the heart of the matter for the defining quality of the inner eye in its most highly evolved form is that it can 'see' the deepest hidden structures of reality without impediment. If timeless-ness is an authentic feature of consciousness - and the evidence I have summarised in this book very strongly suggests that it is - then consciousness may just as well 'exist' in what the mathematicians call 'imaginary time as in 'real time. Indeed it may be precisely because the ego-self lives in real time that it 'knows', death. While it may be precisely because consciousness lives in imaginary time that it 'knows' eternity."

"Had not the normal, since time was, lived on the achievements of the abnormal? Men consciously and voluntarily descended into disease and madness, in search of knowledge which, acquired by fanaticism, would lead back to health; after the possession and use of it had ceased to be conditioned by that heroic and abnormal act of sacrifice. That was the true death on the cross, the true Atonement."

Ah, yes, it is it is well and truly dreamed. I have taken stock I will keep faith with death in my heart, yet well remember that faith with death and the dead is evil, is hostile to mankind, so soon as we give it power over thought and action.
For the sake of goodness and love, man shall let death have no sovereignty over his thoughts. - And with this - I awake. For I have dreamed it out to the end, I have come to my goal."
After a short meeting with their good and trusted friend Thomas. Alizzed and the scribe thanked him most genuinely for the benefit of his wisdom, in the matter of their quest, and in saying their good byes, wished the other well, a not unusual seven times, and of course, promised, not to leave it quite so long in the future.

FINGERPRINTS OF THE GODS
Graham Hancock 1995
. Looking for the First Time
Page 403 Chapter 43
Here is what the ,\ncient Egyptians said about the First Time, Zep ,,; Tepi, when the gods ruled in their country: they said it was a golden
.' agel during which the waters of the abyss receded, the primordial
; darkness was banished, and humanity, emerging into the light, was
1..' offered the gifts of civilization! They spoke also of intermediaries
between gods and men - the Urshu, a category of lesser divinities whose title meant 'the Watchers'.J And they preserved particularly vivid recollections of the gods themselves, puissant and beautiful beings called the Neteru who lived on earth with humankind and exercised their sovereignty from Heliopolis and other sanctuaries up and down the Nile. Some of these Neteru were male and some female but all possessed a range of supernatural powers which included the
. ability to appear, at will, as men or women, or as animals, birds,
reptiles, trees or plants. Paradoxically, their words and deeds seem to have reflected human passions and preoccupations. Likewise, although they were portrayed as stronger and more intelligent than humans, it was believed that they could grow sick - or even die, or be killed - under certain circumstances!
Records of prehistory .
a. Archaeologists are adamant that the epoch of the gods, which die . Ancient Egyptians, called the First Time, is nothing more than a / Page 404 / myth. The Ancient Egyptians, however, who may have been better informed about their past than we are, did not share this view. The historical records they kept in their most venerable temples included comprehensive lists of all the kings of Egypt: lists naming every pharaoh of every dynasty recognized by scholars today.s Some of these lists went even further, reaching back beyond the historical horizon of the First Dynasty into the uncharted depths of a remote and profound antiquity.
Two lists of kings in this category have survived the ravages of the ages and, having been exported from Egypt, are now preserved in European museums. We shall consider these lists in more detail later in this chapter. They are known respectively as the Palermo Stone (dating from the Fifth Dynasty - around the twenty-fifth century BC), and the Turin Papyrus, a nineteenth Dynasty temple document inscribed in a cursive form of hieroglyphs known as hieratic and dated to the thirteenth century BC.6
In addition, we have the testimony of a Heliopolitan priest named Manetho. In the third century BC he compiled a comprehensive and widely respected history of Egypt which provided extensive king lists for the entire dynastic period. Like the Turin Papyrus and the Palermo Stone, Manetho's history also reached much further back into the past to speak of a distant epoch when gods had ruled in the Nile Valley.
Manetho's complete text has not come down to us, although copies of it seem to have been in circulation as late as the ninth century AD.' Fortuitously, however, fragments of it were preserved in the writings of the Jewish chronicler- Josephus (AD 60) and of Christian writers such as Africanus (AD 300), Eusebius (AD 340) and George Syncellus (AD 800 ).8 These fragments, in the words of the late Professor Michael Hoffman of the University of South Carolina, provide the 'framework for modern approaches to the study of Egypt's past'.9
This is quite true.10 Nevertheless, Egyptologists are prepared to use Manetho only as a source for the historical (dynastic) period and repudiate the strange insights he provides into prehistory when he speaks of the remote golden age of the First Time. Why should we be so selective in our reliance on Manetho? What is the logic of accepting thirty 'historical' dynasties from him and rejecting all that he has to / Page 405 / say about earlier epochs? Moreover, since we know that his chronology for the historical period has been vindicated by archae- ology,ll isn't it a bit premature for us to assume that his pre-dynastic chronology is wrong because excavations have not yet turned up evidence confirming it?12
Gods, Demigods and Spirits of the Dead
If we are to allow Manetho to speak for himself, we have no choice but to turn to the texts in which the fragments of his work are preserved. One of the most important of these is the Armenian version of the Chronica of Eusebius. It begins by informing us that it is extracted 'from the Egyptian History of Mane tho, who composed his account in three books. These deal with the Gods, the Demigods, the Spirits of the Dead and the mortal kings who ruled Egypt... ,13 Citing Manetho directly, Eusebius begins by reeling of a list of the gods
which consists, essentially, of the familiar Ennead ofHeliopolis - ~
Osiris, Isis, Horus, Set, and so on:H
These were the first to hold sway in Egypt. Thereafter, the kingship passed from one to another in unbroken succession. . . through 13,900 years. . . Mter the Gods, Demigods reigned for 1255 years; and again another line of kings held sway for 1817 years; then came thirty more kings, reigning for 1790 years; and then again ten kings
ruling for 350 years. There followed the rule of the Spirits of the Dead. . . for 5813 years. . . '15
The total of all these periods adds up to 24,925 years and takes us far beyond the biblical date for the creation of the world (some time in the fifth millennium BCI6).Because it suggested that biblical chronology was wrong, this created difficulties for Eusebius, a staunchly Christian commentator. But, after a moment's thought, he overcame the problem in an inspired way: 'The year I take to be a lunar one, consisting, that is, of 30 days: what we now call a month the Egyptians used formerly to style a year. . . ,17
Of course they did no such thing.18 By means of this sleight of hand, however, Eusebius and others succeeded in boiling down Manetho's grand pre-dynastic span of almost 25,000 years into a sanitized dollop / Page 406 / a bit over 2000 years which fits comfortably into the 2242 years orthodox biblical chronology allows between Adam and the Flood.19
A different technique for downplaying the disturbing chronologi-cal implications of Manetho's evidence is employed by the monk George Syncellus (c. AD 800). This commentator, who relies entirely on invective, writes, 'Manetho, chief priest of the accursed temples of Egypt [tells us] of gods who never existed. These, he says, reigned for 11,895 years...' 20
Several other curious and contradictory numbers crop up in the fragments. In particular, Manetho is repeatedly said to have given the enormous figure of 36,525 years for the entire duration of the civilization of Egypt from the time of the gods down to the end of the thirtieth (and last) dynasty of mortal kings!! This figure of course, incorporates the 365.25 days of the Sothic year (the interval between two consecutive heliacal risings of Sirius, as described in the last chapter). More likely by design than by accident, it also represents 25 cycles of 1,460 Sothic years, and 25 cycles of 1,461 calendar years (since the ancient Egyptian civil calendar was constructed around a 'vague year' of 365 days exactly).22
What, if anything, does all this mean? It's hard to be sure. Out of the welter of numbers and interpretations, however, there is one aspect of Manetho's original message that comes through loud and clear. Irrespective of everything we have been taught about the orderly progress of history, what he seems to be telling us is that civilized beings (either gods or men) were present in Egypt for an immensely long period before the advent of the First Dynasty around 3100BC.
Diodorus Siculus and Herodotus
In this assertion, Manetho finds much support among classical writers.
In the first century BC, for example, the Greek historian Diodorus Siculus visited Egypt. He is rightly described by C.H. Oldfather, his most recent translator, as 'an uncritical compiler who used good sources and reproduced them faithfully'.2J In plain English, what this means is that Diodorus did not try to impose his prejudices and / Page 407 / preconceptions on the material he collected. He is therefore particularly valuable to us because his informants included Egyptian priests whom he questioned about the mysterious past of their country. This is what they told him:
'At first gods and heroes ruled Egypt for a little less than 18,000 years, the last of the gods to rule being Horus, the son of Isis. . . Mortals have been kings of their country, they say, for a little less than 5000 years...24
Let us review these figures 'uncritically' and see what they add up to. Oiodorus was writing in the first century BC. If we journey back from there for the 5000 years during which the 'mortal kings' supposedly ruled, we get to around 5100 BC. If we go even further back to the beginning of the age of'gods and heroes', we find that we have arrived at 23,100 BC, when the world was still firmly in the grip of the last Ice Age.
Long before Oiodorus, Egypt was visited by another and more illustrious Greek historian: the great Herodotus, who lived in the fifth century BC. He too, it seems, consorted with priests and he too managed to tune in to traditions that spoke of the presence of a high civilization in the Nile Valley at some unspecified date in remote antiquity. Herodotus outlines these traditions of an immense prehistoric period of Egyptian civilization in Book II of his History. In the same document he also hands on to us, without comment, a peculiar nugget of information which had originated with the priests of Heliopolis:
During this time, they said, there were four occasions when the sun rose out of his wonted place - twice rising where he now sets, and twice setting where he now rises!5
What is this all about?
According to the French mathematician Schwaller de Lubicz, what Herodotus is transmitting to us (perhaps unwittingly) is a veiled and garbled reference to a period of time - that is, to the time that it
takes for sunrise on the vernal equinox to precess against the stellar background through one and a half complete cycles of the zodiac.26
As we have seen, the equinoctial sun spends roughly 2160 years in each of the twelve zodiacal constellations. A full cycle of precession of / Page 408 / the equinoxes therefore takes almost 26,000 years to complete (12 x 2160 years). It follows that one and a half cycles takes nearly 39,000 years (18 x 2160 years).
In the time of Herodotus the sun on the vernal equinox rose due east at dawn against the stellar background of Aries - at which moment the constellation of Libra was 'in opposition', lying due west where the sun would set twelve hours later. If we wind the clock of precession back half a cycle, however - six houses of the zodiac or approximately 13,000 years - we find that the reverse configuration prevails: the vernal sun now rises due east in Libra while Aries lies due west in opposition. A further 13,000 years back, the situation reverses itself once more, with the vernal sun rising again in Aries and with Libra in opposition.
This takes us to 26,000 years before Herodotus.
If we then step back another 13,000 years, another half precessional cycle, to 39,000 years before Herodotus, the vernal sunrise returns to Libra, and Aries is again in opposition.
The point is this: with 39,000 years we have an expanse of time during which the sun can be described as 'twice rising where he now sets', i.e. in Libra in the time of Herodotus (and again at 13,000 and at 39,000 years earlier), and as 'twice setting where he now rises', i.e. in Aries in the time of Herodotus (and again at 13,000 and 39,000 years earlier).Z7 If Schwaller's interpretation is correct - and there is every reason to suppose it is - it suggests that the Greek historian's priestly informants must have had access to accurate records of the
precessional motion of the sun going back at least 39,000 years before
their own era.
The Turin Papyrus and the Palermo Stone
The figure of 39,000 years accords surprisingly closely with the testimony of the Turin Papyrus (one of the two surviving Ancient Egyptian king lists that extends back into prehistoric times before the First Dynasty).
Originally in the collection of the king of Sardinia, the brittle and crumbling 3000-year-old papyrus was sent in a box, without packing,
\ to its present home in the Museum of Turin. As any schoolchild could / Page 409 / Looking for the First Time 4°9
have predicted, it arrived broken into countless fragments. Scholars were obliged to work for years to piece together and make sense of what remained, and they did a superb job.Z8 Nevertheless, more than half the contents of this precious record proved impossible to reconstruct.29
What might we have learned about the First Time if the Turin Papyrus had remained intact?
The surviving fragments are tantalizing. In one register, for example, we read the names of ten Neteru with each name inscribed in a cartouche (oblong enclosure) in much the same style adopted in later periods for the hi~torical kings of Egypt. The number of years that each Neter was believed to have reigned was also given, but most of these numbers are missing from the damaged document.JO
In another column there appears a list of the mortal kings who ruled in upper and lower Egypt after the gods but prior to the supposed unification of the kingdom under Menes, the first pharaoh of the First Dynasty, in 3100 BC. From the surviving fragments it is possible to establish that nine 'dynasties' of these pre-dynastic pharaohs were mentioned, among which were 'the Venerables of Memphis', 'the Venerables of the North' and, lastly, the Shemsu Hor (the Compan- ions, or Followers, of Horus) who ruled until the time ofMenes. The final two lines of the column, which seem to represent a summing up or inventory, are particularly provocative. They read; , . . . Vener- abIes Shemsu-Hor, 13,420 years; Reigns before the Shemsu-Hor, 23,200 years; Total 36,620 years,.JI
The other king list that deals with prehistoric times is the Palermo Stone, which does not take us as far back into the past as the Turin Papyrus. The earliest of its surviving registers record the reigns of 120 kings who ruled in upper and lower Egypt in the late pre-dynastic period: the centuries immediately prior to the country's unification in 3100 BC.J2 Once again, however, we really have no idea how much other information, perhaps relating to far earlier periods, might originally have been inscribed on this enigmatic slab of black basalt, because it, too, has not come down to us intact. Since 1887 the largest single part has been preserved in the Museum of Palermo in Sicily; a second piece is on display in Egypt in the Cairo Museum; and a third much smaller fragment is in the Petrie Collection at the University of / page 410 / 410 Part vn
London:J These are reckoned by archaeologists to have been broken out of the centre of a monolith which would originally have measured about seven feet long by two feet high (stood on its long side).J4 Furthermore, as one authority has observed:
It is quite possible - even probable - that many more pieces of this invaluable monument remain, if we only knew where to look. As it is we are faced with the tantalising knowledge that a record of the name of every king of the Archaic Period existed, together with the number of years of his reign and the chief events which occurred during his occupation of the throne. And these events were compiled in the Fifth Dynasty, only about 700 years after the Unification, so that the margin of error would in all probability have been very small. . . ,35
The late Professor Walter Emery, whose words these are, was naturally concerned about the absence of much-needed details concerning the Archaic Period, 3200 BC to 2900 BC,J6 the focus of his own specialist interests. We should also spare a thought, however, for what an intact Palermo Stone might have told us about even earlier
epochs, notably Zep Tepi - the golden age of the gods.
The deeper we penetrate into the myths and memories of Egypt's long past, and the closer we approach to the fabled First Time, the stranger the landscapes that surround us become. . . as we shall see.

The wild celestial dance
". . . The earth makes a complete circuit around its own axis once every twenty-four hours and has an equatorial circumference of 24,902.45 miles. It follows, therefore, that a man standing still on the equator is in fact in motion, revolving with the planet at just over 1 ,000 miles per hour.2 Viewed from outer space, looking down on the North Pole, the direction of rotation is anti-clockwise.
While spinning daily on its own axis, the earth also orbits the sun (again in an anti-clockwise direction) on a path which is slightly elliptical rather than completely circular. It pursues this orbit at truly
breakneck speed, travelling as far along it in an hour - 66,600 miles-
as the average motorist will drive in six years. To bring the calculations down in scale, this means that we are hurtling through space much faster than any bullet, at the rate of18.5 miles every second. In the time that it has taken you to read this paragraph, we have voyaged about 550 miles farther along earth's path around the sun!
With a year required to complete a full circuit, the only evidence we have of the tremendous orbital race we are participating in is the slow march of the seasons. And in the operations of the seasons themselves it is possible to see a wondrous and impartial mechanism at work distributing spring, summer, autumn and winter fairly around the globe, across the northern and southern hemispheres, year in and year out, with absolute regularity.

CAN one tell-that is to say, narrate-time, time itseI£, as such, for its own sake? That would surely be an absurd undertaking. A story which read: .. Time passed, It ran on, the Pme. flowed on-
ward" and so forth - no one in his senses could consider that a narrative. It would be as though one ,held a s~le note or chord for a whQle hour, and called it music. For narration resembles music in this, that it fills up the time. It .. fills it in " and .. breaks it up, so that .. there's something to it," .. something going on " - to quote, with due and mournful piety, those casual phrases of our departed Joachim, all echo of which so long ago died away:. So long ago, indeed, that we wonder if the reader is clear how long ago it was. For time is the medium of narration, as it is the medium of life. Both are in rhythmicaly bound up with it, as inextricably as are bodies in space. Similarly, time is tlie medium of music; music divides, measures, articulates time, and can shorten it, yet enhance its value, both at once. Thus music and narration are alike, in that they can only present themselves as a flowing, as a succession in time, as one thing after another; and both differ from the plastic arts, which are complete in the present, and unrelated to time save as all bodies are, whereas narration -like music - even if it should try to be completely present at any .given moment, would need time to do it in. .
So much is clear. But it is just as clear that we have also a dif ference to deal with. For the time element in music is single. Into a section of mortal time music pours itself, thereby inexpressibly enhancing and ennobling what it fills. But a narrative must have two kinds of time: first, its own, like music, actual time, condi- tioning its presentation and course; and second, the time of its con- tent, which is relative, so extremely relative that the imaginary time of the narrative can either coincide nearly or completely with the actual, or musical, time, or can be a world away. A piece of .music called a "Five-minute Waltz" lasts five minutes, and this is
