ust whenthe de-bunker hitsquads of

the old scientificparadigm thoughtit was safe tocome out again, asudden upwellingof alternativethought in someof the most unex-pected placescould have themducking for cover.

From PublicBroadcasting toABC television, from the New York Times to the United Press International, aplethora of ideas once consigned to the fringes of “Junk Science” are being given anew and virtually respectful hearing.

Earlier this year the Times reported the news that the Department of Energy hasdecided to reopen its investigation into Cold Fusion. Never mind that the phenom-enon had been ridiculed as quackery by the self-appointed high priests of scientifictruth. That would have been enough good news for many months, but, in an appar-ently unrelated development, a few days later the Public broadcasting system ran awell-produced prime time special on Nikola Tesla which paid respectful attention,not only to the great inventor’s many unsung contributions, including radio and al-ternating current, but to the breathtaking possibility that Tesla may have developedwireless power transmission and directed-energy weapons as well. And PBS wasn’tthrough yet. Another prime-time documentary on the Turin Shroud controversymade it clear that the case for its authenticity is far from closed and, if anything,the evidence is now pointing toward the Shroud’s validation. But even that wasn’tall. Before the month was half over ABC television’s 20/20 took on the issue of rein-carnation in the story of a small boy who appears to have authentic recollections ofa former life as a WWII fighter pilot. The report made it hard to escape the conclu-sion that the boy’s experience was genuine.

Professional debunkers like Paul Kurtz got in their usual say, but unlike pre-vious reporting on such subjects, the public, this time, was left with the clear im-pression that many familiar conceptions of conventionality had indeed been dis-credited. That such is the case is hardly news to the readers of Atlantis Rising, butfor the public in general these are shocking developments.

For those of us who have pushed such notions, without the benefit of much sup-port, for a long time, the new acceptance is heady stuff. It is worth rememberingthat in 1994, when NBC first carried The Mystery of the Sphinx, the documentarywhich highlighted John Anthony West and Robert Schoch’s sensational case thatthe Sphinx was thousands of years older than claimed by orthodox Egyptology, theconsequent effect on public awareness was profound, indeed. Never before had theestablishment been forced to defend its dogmas in such a public way and it has notrecovered since.

One of the outcomes of that breakthrough event was the startup of a new maga-zine which chose to tackle in a straightforward kind of way many of the shibbolethsand superstitions of mainstream thinking. In November of 1994, Atlantis Risingpublished its first issue, and you know the rest.

New Energy PossibilitiesThe Grassroots push for a new energy

raises questions that have been around fora long time. Taking a cue from some ofthe web sites on this subject we can find asolution.

The clue is Godel’s theorem, whichstates that we have only models and in-complete ones at that. I believe the Godswould agree with that, having given us in-itiation centers or mystery schools of oldto educate who they could about spiritualconcepts. We have to address the inertiaof these new concepts that seems to con-sume almost all who have come before us.First, we must abandon the concept thatthis zero point energy is just a mechan-ical type thing, a sort of force. It is the trap-pings of the Gods themselves. For proof ofthis, one can look at Klingsor, a black magi-cian, who defeated almost everyone whocame up against him, even the buddingChristians. Klingsor knew of and had con-tact with cosmic powers, even if they wereon the dark side. These dark cosmic powersprotected Klingsor. Today, these Klingsortypes are deep in policy making and willconsume all who come up against them.The question of consciousness or new en-ergy first is answered by Steiner in his LightCourse, where the progressive Gods triedvia electricity to raise the consciousness ofman and were not successful. So today, wehave to raise our consciousness first and theenergy will come from that. This, I believethe Gods will support.

To believe that this new energy is saferthan present methods is a false notion. Ifthe terrorists get a hold of it in a small formthen it is no different than a suitcase nukeor anthrax. So to be successful, we mustfirst make contact with the cosmic powersvia Long’s high self magic. We mustabandon the notion of waves and so-calledfree energy. The progressive Gods gave uslife for free; I do not believe they will give usthis for free without a battle. Certainly, eventhe dark cosmic powers will fight this, but ifmy theory is correct, they will be defeated.

from it.While writing my diploma thesis at

the University of Bonn I developed amodel of Dirac magnetic monopoleswhich predicts that electromagnetic radi-ation consists of two kinds of particles,Einstein’s “electric photon” and Salam’s“magnetic photon.” I suggested a ta-bletop experiment to verify the “magneticphoton rays.”

I planned to include my model in mydiploma thesis. However, no professor atthe university wanted to act as the secondexaminer as long as this model was partof my thesis. I removed my model frommy thesis and got my diploma in physicsin November 1995. By then I had pub-lished four articles in scientific journals.

Because of my model I was regardedas a crackpot in Bonn. I was unable tostart a PhD thesis there. In April 1996 Istarted my PhD thesis at the University ofWuppertal.

I published my model in December1997. I found that the duality betweenelectricity and magnetism is analogous to

the duality between curvature and torsion. Ipublished an article on this finding.

My professor in Wuppertal was very un-happy about the publication of my model.He declined to accept my PhD thesis.

I am very grateful to the staff of thephysical institute of the University of Dort-mund who offered me a position to com-plete my PhD thesis. It was accepted in July2001. By then I had published ten articles inscientific physical journals. However, aftercompletion of my PhD thesis I remained un-employed.

I learned that August Kundt in 1885 mayhave already observed the magnetic photonrays I predicted. I published a paper on thisinterpretation.

I contacted several experimentalistswhether they would like to test my predic-tion of the magnetic photon rays. My inter-pretation of the Kundt experiment was ofgreat help to convince two independent re-searchers to perform the suggested tabletopexperiment.

The first experiment was tried in Austriain February 2002 and the second experi-ment in the USA in June 2002. Both experi-ments showed a signal which was very diffi-cult to explain without the introduction ofmagnetic photons. However, the signal was1000 and 6000 times, respectively, smallerthan I predicted in my publication.

The experimentalists were not convinced

Ziggurut or HillYour credibility will not be enhanced

when you mix up your illustration material.While some of your readers perhaps ac-

cept the steep hill you show (#41, Sept./Oct.2003, p. 28) as being “the ruins of the an-cient ziggurut of Dur Kurigatzu,” any geol-ogist will need just a few seconds of ‘remoteviewing’ to classify it as an ordinary sedi-mentary sequence, possibly sandstone,moulded by erosion.

We apologize to Dr. Kloosterman, notfor the accuracy of our caption, but for thequality of the printed image. If it had beenprinted more clearly, anyone, including Dr.Kloosterman, would have been able to see,despite the significant erosion noted, anumber of obviously artificial features onthe structure including windows and door-ways.

If you have read any or all of The Structure of Scientific Revolutions byThomas S. Kuhn, The Big Bang Never Happened: A Startling Refutationof the Dominant Theory of the Origin of the Universe by Eric J. Lerner,Alternative Science Challenging the Myths of the ScientificEstablishment by Richard Milton, Dismantling the Universe: The Natureof Scientific Discovery by Richard Milton and The New Inquisition byRobert Anton Wilson, congratulations, your formal schooling is over. Now lifebegins. We, as a people, are discouraged, ridiculed and ostracized for talkingabout flying saucers simply because their existence validates the realitydescribed in the above books. But it is not a matter of intellectual discussion,it is a matter of survival.

Let’s Talk Flying Saucers asks why not talk possibilities instead ofridiculing what the entire world knows is an intensely studied subject. Thebook is subtitled what the reality actually is: “How Crackpot Ideas AreBlinding Us To Realty and Leading us to Extinction.” A few of the crackpotideas are listed below.•

Let’s Talk Flying Saucers describes how we have been conned into payinglavish salaries and outrageous grants to failed fabulists who make Alice inWonderland statements appear as if they are the truth according to thegospel.

Empirical science is a religious endeavorfounded on the belief that God created theuniverse with basic underlying laws whichthe anointed, through the revelation ofmathematics, can discern. We, as disciples,are not expected to question acceptedrevelations such as: gravity is a property ofmass, the solar system’s motion results froman historical swirling mass of gas,everything moves in a straight line unless aforce acts to alter that motion, matter canneither be created nor destroyed (whatdoes that even mean?), light is not made upof what gives it off, ad infinitum, eachrevelation designed to fix the boundaries ofa certain quantity of reality so that it can beincorporated into the limited terms ofmathematical equations.Ours is not to understand, our is but tocompute and follow.I, of course, believe that we evolved mindsthat can be used to analyze physical realityin order to come up with a consistentpicture of that physical reality. We don’thave to come up with a consistent picture ofphysical reality, but if we want to produce atechnology that reflects physical reality,then the only way we can produce thattechnology is if we use our minds toproduce a consistent picture of ourselves,the world we occupy and indeed theuniverse of which we are a part.Producing a consistent picture of physicalreality doesn’t have anything to do withlaws, revelations, secret procedures,languages or approvals. It involves simplyusing the mind that is a part of reality toform pictures of reality that are complete,

that make sense and that can therefore beused by all of us to create and perfecttechnology. Mathematics helps us definewhat the hard edges of reality are, but itcan’t produce concepts, the understandingwe need, nor can it convert our made-upconcepts into reality by calling them laws.By claiming that its procedures can createfacts, science places itself in the position ofGod. However, we are dealing with theoperation of physical reality, and God andreligion have nothing to do with coming upwith a consistent picture of its operation.This is difficult to assert in a world wherethe ruling religion, Empirical Science, deniesits own religious nature, a nature that isembodied in its obsession with questions oforigins and endings at the expense of theall-important questions dealing with currentforce and motion.We have a contract with science. We willgive scientists our hard earned resources sothat they are relieved of the burden ofearning a living so they can spend their timecoming up with answers to the questions ofreality for which there is not a shred ofevidence and ample evidence against:• The never proven notion of Newton that

gravity is a property of matter• The unsupported conclusion that white

light is made up of all light colors• The unexamined assumption that the

colors of light are lined up the way theycome out of a prism rather than bybrightness

• The resulting assumption that reverses thespectrum, placing blue as the shortest

frequency and red as the longest against allmeasurable observation

• The absurd notion that light is not madeup of what gives it off

• The deadly belief that finding a factpredicted by an idea can turn that ideainto a fact

• The ignorance that sees planets movewithout a current force

• The three hundred year belief in Newton’sprecessional wobble which fails todescribe measurable precession

• The delusion that nature createdoversized dinosaurs too big to move

• The scientific myth of the ice age(s)• The scientific myth of global warming• The scientific myth of species evolution as

opposed to characteristic evolution• The expanding universe that results from

a red shift using a reversed spectrum• The really brainless belief that a star’s

distance can be determined with anaccuracy greater than the unknowablevariables underlying the measurement

• The incredible belief that an atomic clockdemonstrates that time, a result of rate,is actually a variable of rate

• The blindness of using an ancientexplosion to describe current motion inthe universe

• The laughable assumption that becausean optical telescope points toward thesky, the background radiation a radiotelescope picks up comes from the sky

that they have proved my theory. So theyhave not published their results. Further ex-periments have not been performed. Whatshould I do? I decided to publish their ex-periments including my interpretation oftheir results. The two experimentalistsagreed with this way of publishing providedI included a statement that they stronglydisagree with my interpretation of their re-sults. The paper includes this statement andwill be published as a contribution to abook.

To conclude, what can happen when ayoung researcher thinks he has an impor-tant theory? From my own experience Ilearned that he will get difficulties with theacceptance of his diploma thesis. It will be-come impossible to start a PhD thesis at thesame university. His professor will declineto accept his dissertation. After completionof his PhD thesis he will be unemployed, al-though by then he has ten scientific publi-cations, eight of them authored by himalone.

Ancient EngineeringA while back I was watching a program

about Machu Pichu on TV. It was inter-esting and informative until they came tothe part about how the builders cut thestones for the walls and buildings. They saidit was done by hammering one rock againstanother, in this case granite. They had justshown a section of a wall that was made ofidentically sized rectangular stones withruler-straight courses and seams. It wasmade up of hundreds of stones. I thought,let’s see, the boss of the work party bringshis gang to a huge pile of granite bouldersand says, Okay, guys, I want two hundredblocks cut out of this granite, each one pre-cisely 12x2x18 inches (or whatever). All an-gles to be 90 degrees, all edges sharp. Hereare your tools. He hands them a bunch ofrocks.

Archaeologists apparently believe thisnonsense and expect us to as well. Therehad to be another way.

When Uri Geller and others bend aspoon or fork with their mind, the metalsoftens but does not melt. If it melted therewould be some burnt fingers. Could it bethat the megalithic builders had a way tosoften stone temporarily so that it couldeasily be cut? It would explain how they gotthose odd shaped blocks to fit together.

If the Egyptians or their ancestors (alien

colonists) built the pyramids, why then wasnot the knowledge of how the constructionof the pyramids were accomplished not

READER COMMENTSpasted down from generation to generation?Why do they (Egyptians) not possess anyknowledge of their historical past with re-spect to the actual building of the pyramids?

Why are not the Egyptians among thegreatest mathematicians or builders in theworld, that is (if) “the linear progression oftechnology” had actually occurred as aca-demia has postulated?

I propose that the great stone buildings(forts) where actually fall-out shelters. Ibase this on the fact that we have on the an-cient time line a sudden event of missingcultures described by the ancient Vedic San-skrit. The Ramayana Mahabharata and otherancient text speak of a hideous war thattook place ten to twelve thousand years agobetween Atlantis and Rama using weaponsof mass-destruction.

The ancient Mahabharata text, a sourceon Vimana air-ships, goes on to tell of theawesome destructiveness of the war:

A single projectile charged with all thepower of the universe (Atom Bomb), an in-candescent column of smoke and flame asbright as a thousand suns rose in all itssplendor. The entire race of Vrishnis andAndhakas corpses so burned as to be unrec-ognizable. Hair and nails fell out. To escapefrom the fire, soldiers threw themselves intothe streams to wash themselves and theirequipment.

These references are not isolated events.For instance, the skeleton remains exca-vated in the Rishi City of Mohenjodaro werefound to be among the most radioactiveever found even on a par with those at Hi-roshima and Nagasaki. Archaeologists foundskeletal remains just lying in the streets,holding hands as if some overwhelming ca-tastrophe suddenly overtook them. Themassive stone buildings and forts vitrifiedfrom the intense heat of the blast! Vitrifiedbuildings can be found in France, Turkey,India Scotland, Ireland and other placesaround the globe.

Black lumps of glass, discovered at Mo-henjo-Daro, a well planned city laid out on agrid, with plumbing systems superior tothose used in Pakistan and India to this day,were discovered to be clay pots that hadmelted under intense heat! After the devas-tation the world collapsed into a stone-ageof sorts and modern man’s history picks upfrom there a few thousand years later.

Why then does it not seem surprisingthat enlightened human beings would havepreserved advanced technology by encodingit into their artifacts knowing full well thatone day it would be rediscovered?

uch to the surprise, ifnot consternation, of

the high priesthood of con-ventional science, theUnited States Departmentof Energy (DOE) has an-nounced that it is going togive cold fusion anotherlook.

The story broke in lateMarch from the UK based“New Scientist Magazine.”Coverage by United PressInternational and the NewYork Times soon followed.

Not surprisingly, thenews was greeted joyously by the small butdedicated cold fusion research community.According to a press release from the NewHampshire-based New Energy Foundation(NEF) the news had been circulating forabout a month before the public confirma-tion.

DOE has agreed to perform a review ofthe entire “cold fusion” (LENR) question.According to NEF chairman (and AtlantisRising columnist) Dr. Eugene Mallove, “TheDOE has made a startling reversal of its pastrefusal to evaluate with a fresh look thelarge body of experimental evidence thatnow supports highly anomalous non-chemical magnitude excess heat phe-nomena in some hydrogen systems, plus as-sociated nuclear anomalies.” The details ofhow the review will be conducted and whenit is to begin have not yet been released for-mally, but it is expected to be completed bythe end of 2004.

News of the DOE reversal comes at atime of growing concern about present andfuture energy resources, as well as debateover funding for controlled thermonuclearfusion research, that is, “hot” fusion. Ac-cording to NEF, It also comes at a timewhen much discussion of the “hydrogeneconomy” and fuel cells fills the media.LENR research suggests, by contrast, thatorders-of-magnitude more powerful energyreserves are associated with hydrogen thanconventionally understood chemical energymodels would allow. This ought to pleaseopen-minded environmentalists and othersconcerned about the future of the energy-environment problem and potential impactson the global climate.

Just as after the original announcementsby chemists Drs. Martin Fleischmann and B.Stanley Pons at the University of Utah onMarch 23, 1989 and by physicist Steven E.Jones at Brigham Young University subse-quently, this disclosure by the U.S. DOE iscertain to prompt intense controversy and

M expectation. The great dif-ference this time, however,is that a much larger bodyof excellent published ex-

perimental work now existsfrom researchers around

the globe, which the DOEshould be compelled to ex-

amine in its review. “Byright, this review shouldhave happened a decade

ago—but better late thannever.” says Mallove. “In

our view, the body of sup-porting evidence for large

magnitude excess heat andnuclear products in ‘cold fusion’ is so solidat this time that it would essentially be in-tellectually impossible for an objective DOEpanel to come to other than a very positiveconclusion about the evidence and the pros-pect of technological applications. Ofcourse, it is quite possible that bureaucratic,unethical machinations will again occurthat will preclude such a reasonable out-come. We hope that does not happen.”

The confirmation of the DOE reviewcame first in a draft article by Physics Todayscience journalist Toni Feder. The first pop-ular journal to publish the news of the im-pending DOE review was, however, the UK-based New Scientist, in its March 20, 2004issue.

There is additional high-level scientificsupport for the DOE review: Former DOEOffice of Science Director, Dr. MildredDresselhaus (an MIT Professor of ElectricalEngineering and Computer Science), isquoted in the Physics Today article: “I thinkscientists should be open-minded. Histori-cally, many things get overturned withtime.”

The initiative that helped launch the im-pending review was a letter to U.S. EnergySecretary Spencer Abraham from MIT Pro-fessor Peter Hagelstein, a cold fusion theo-rist since 1989.

As Ed Storms, a retired radiochemistfrom Los Alamos National Laboratory inNew Mexico, told UPI, “Finally, after years ofactively stopping such research on the sub-ject, a few brave souls in the organization(DOE) are starting a process that shouldhave been undertaken years ago.”

“At the very least,” he added, “a safe andinexpensive source of energy will be createdthat will change society in ways that arehard to imagine. At the very least, thedamage caused by pollution and the brakeson development caused by a dwindling oilsupply will be problems of the past.”

Is Tesla’s ‘Death Ray’Nearing Deployment?

hen PBS ran a prime time special on Nicola Tesla earlier thisyear (Master of Lightning), it created something of a stir by

suggesting that the inventor’s efforts to develop a directed-energy orbeam weapon may have been more successful than commonly be-lieved. Since his lonely death in a New York hotel during the WorldWar II era, news reports and rumors concerning Tesla’s interest in a“Death Ray” have stimulated the public imagination. The questionof whether or not Tesla solved the immense technical problems in-volved remains unanswered, but some have suggested that the so-called “Star Wars” technology of the Reagan years was an outgrowthof Tesla’s vision. Surprisingly PBS seemed willing to raise questionsabout a lost Tesla legacy which might have contained the seeds ofmany exotic technologies taken for granted today.

Ironically, within weeks of the PBS special, the possibility of di-rected energy weapons such as Tesla envisioned took a giant step to-ward practical reality when Raytheon Corporation announced that ithad developed a nonlethal directed-energy gun.

No longer a sci-fi pipe dream, the Raytheon gun is said to be nowcapable of stopping an enemy in his tracks at 700 yards. It is in-tended to protect troops from small arms fire which generallymeans a range of 1000 meters. Though extremely painful to thetarget it is said to do no serious damage. The Active Denial Tech-nology (ADT) weapon uses an electromagnetic beam “to keep thebad guy from doing what he is doing.” As presently envisioned, theweapon will be mounted on the back of a humvee and used forcrowd control and peacekeeping purposes. Future versions to be in-stalled on military fighter aircraft and ships are said to be 10 yearsdown the road.

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

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

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

he Shroud of Turin is in the spotlightagain. New evidence highlighted in a

PBS documentary in April has reinforced ar-guments that the shroud is, indeed, the bu-rial cloth of Jesus, and undermined the posi-tion of those who claim it to be a medievalfake. That, however, was not the last wordon the shroud for the month. Within twoweeks came news of the stunning discoveryof a second, previously unnoticed, image ofa face on the back side of the cloth.

On the whole it was a bad month forskeptics whose faith has been based on a cel-ebrated 1988 carbon dating study which hadfound the shroud to be a 13th or 14th cen-tury fraud. A growing consensus that the

TNew Evidence Points to Shroud Authenticity

carbon 14 study was fatally flawed appearedto be nearing critical mass. Ian Wilson, co-author of The Turin Shroud: UnshroudingThe Mystery, is among those who say thatthe cloth tested was not only contaminated,it was part of material added later, and notpart of the original shroud. And whenSwedish textiles expert Dr. Mechthild Flury-Lembug discovered seams in the back of thecloth clearly dating from the first centuryA.D., the case for the Shroud’s authenticityappeared to be fully resurrected.

One indisputable fact remains. No oneknows how the image was created. Eventhough many theories purport to explainthe matter, all fall short. It is not a painting

or a photograph. The discovery of a secondface on the back of the cloth only deepensthe mystery.

Giulio Fanti, professor of Mechanical andThermic Measurements at Padua Universitydiscovered the second face through digitalimaging. And while such an image might beexpected from the print-through of apainted hoax, the shroud is different. Imageson both sides appear only on the outermostlayers of the fabric—one image above, an-other below and nothing in between.

Any hope of resolving the matter, scien-tifically speaking, may have to wait a while.The Shroud is not set to go on display againuntil 2025.

he many stories of people who encounter bright lightand angelic beings at the moment of death and come

back to tell about it have attracted the attention of re-searchers. While reluctant to see “Near Death Experiences”(NDE) as anything but hallucination, some now admit NDEsare certainly not negative. In fact, experiencers seem able tocope with stress much better than non-experiencers.

Willoughby Britton, a doctoral candidate at the Universityof Arizona who led one study, reported in the Journal of Psy-chological Science. “We found people who have these experi-ences,” she said, “are the opposite of what people think. Theyaren’t likely to run away from stress.” The evidence indicatesthat such people demonstrate a “take the bull by the horns”attitude, often changing careers and moving on with theirlives, free of fears which had haunted them before.

At a loss to explain the changes, scientists—unwilling toaccept the NDE at face value—see it now as a protectivemechanism insulating some from post-traumatic stress dis-order. For those who believe consciousness begins and endswith the physical brain, that may be the best we can expect.

Transcendence remains the gift of those who are not sorestricted.

s a new Ice Age just around the corner?That such an event could happen

soon is the premise of Hollywood’s latestblockbuster The Day After Tomorrow aswell as a recent report from researchersPeter Schwartz and Doug Randall to theDepartment of Defense... but is it realistic?

Leading climate scientists say no, atleast not in the immediate future. Maybein a hundred years, though.

The scenario advanced in the movieand the DOD report has rapidly meltingarctic ice—courtesy of global warming—changing the salt content of the ocean andinterrupting the cycle that creates theGulf Stream. The result is rapidly fallingtemperatures and dramatically expandingice sheets which turn New York, amongother places, into the frozen wasteland de-picted in the movie.

Climatologist Stefan Rahmstorf of thePotsdam Institute for Climate Impact Re-search in Germany, whose own models saythe Gulf Stream could shut down within acentury, told Britain’s New Scientist mag-azine: “The DOD scenario is extreme andhighly unlikely.” Other scientists like Wal-lace Broeker of Columbia University agree.

The DOD report comes from the SanFrancisco based Global Business Network.They are sticking by their analysis andwarning that such an event could havevast security ramifications, to say theleast.

ew evidence from the so-called stone-age has once again challenged standing

assumptions about human origins. Thistime the focus is on the dawn of symbolicthought. Two discoveries from Africa nowdemonstrate it all began much earlier thanpreviously believed.

In March U.S. scientists reported thattheir discovery of colored ostrich egg beadsand other artifacts in Tanzania provided evi-dence that humans were decorating them-selves long before the time previouslyclaimed by science. Reuters reported that atthis point speculation has it the beads areolder than 40,000 years, thus contradictingthe widely accepted notion that symbolicthinking began first in Europe about 35,000years ago.

“This is very precocious,” said JohnBower, professor emeritus of anthropologyat Iowa State University, who helped leadthe study. But just days after the Tanzaniareport, Norwegian researchers announced

N that in Blombos cave at the southern tip ofSouth Africa they have found colored mol-lusk shells strung together to make jewelrythat are at least 75,000 years old.

Acccording to Britain’s New Scientistmagazine, Christopher Henshilwood of theUniversity of Bergen and his team have ana-lysed 41 of the shells, which were found inclusters of similar shade and size. They con-tain traces of ochre, thought to be used byStone Age cave dwellers as a decorative pig-ment.

Both discoveries present major difficul-ties to conventional thinking and its denialof the existence of lost civilization in prehis-tory. In effect, the window of time in whichsuch developments could have occurred hasbeen significantly expanded.

For insight into other recently developedevidence, specificallly DNA, which under-mines the mainstream paradigm, see WillHart’s article elsewhere in these pages.

ChristopherHenshilwood in Blomberg Cave

n another example of new evidenceproving that civilization is a great deal

older than previously believed, it turns outthat the special relationship between hu-mans and cats goes back thousands of yearsbeyond the horizon heretofore maintainedby conventional scientific wisdom.

In Cyprus, archaeologists have now dis-covered a human and a cat buried togetherin a ceremonial grave. The find has nowbeen dated to about 9,500 years ago. Hith-erto, the professors would have told you,with some conviction, the ancient Egyptiansfirst domesticated cats about 4,000 yearsago. Some had suspected that humansbegan to domesticate cats much earlier butthe evidence wasn’t there.

IThe discovery underscores that familiar

courtroom nostrum, “the absence of evi-dence is not the evidence of absence.” It isworth remembering that many of the theo-retical statements of contemporary science(e.g., civilization began about 5000 yearsago) are just that, ‘theoretical’—the un-proven speculation of a particular group in-terested in promoting a particular historicalperspective (e.g., today’s civilization repre-sents the pinnacle of human achievement).The public will be better off withholdingjudgment on the actual shape of prehistoryuntil the cat is actually out of the bag.

ews of the U.S. Depart-ment of Energy’s com-

mitment, announced inApril 2004, to review thepast fifteen years of evi-dence for low-energy nu-clear reactions (LENR,a.k.a. cold fusion) and asso-ciated excess heat phe-nomena has hit like abombshell. It is almost likewaking up, as many of usdid, to find that Commu-nism had toppled in Russiaand that the Soviet Unionwas no more! So en-trenched was the opposi-tion at DOE and in aca-demia against even publiclyreviewing the LENR evi-dence (let alone acceptingits stark implications), thatmany of us probably de-spaired that we would everlive to see the day of this turn-around. It is a truly astonishing re-versal.

The details of how this DOE change came about appear in an In-finite Energy article, “U.S. Department of Energy Commits to Re-examine Cold Fusion—15 Years of Evidence for Excess Heat andLow-Energy Nuclear Reactions,” in issue #55 (May/June 2004), andsome of these details are posted on www.infinite-energy.com. Butlet’s not get too carried away so that we ignore the implicit dangersof this review. We are not yet home-free at last, because there canbe no doubt that just as in 1989, the pathological skeptics will beout in force with sharpened knives and all manner of dirty tricks toderail this review.

The scoundrels will try their best to kill it or make it much lessthan what it should be: A complete and unconditional acknowledg-ment that DOE missed something very, very big beginning in 1989two irrefutable classes of phenomena that are obviously related atsome—still not fully understood—fundamental level: 1. Large mag-nitude excess energy far exceeding any conventional chemical expla-nation, in a variety of electrochemical and gaseous hydrogen-containing systems, and 2. An array of nuclear changes and emis-sions in what were previously thought to be purely chemically ac-tive systems containing hydrogen.

There is yet no public information available about just how thisreview is to be conducted, but that is not surprising. Also, DOE hasnot trumpeted the review with a public press release. Perhaps this isits way of sneaking off like a defeated dog with its tail between itslegs. A more sinister interpretation, which I do not think likely to

be true, is that the pending review is actually a ruse to entrap theLENR community and then attempt to kill this work off once andfor all. That could be attempted, of course, by insisting that an in-tegrated theory for all of the claimed LENR effects be presented be-fore the DOE will bless the field with a positive report. No such sat-isfactory, comprehensive theory exists in the LENR community, noris one likely to be framed in the next few years. But theory-drivenoptimism is rampant in the LENR field, so there is a real dangerthat one or more theorists will try to push their theory too far andwill put the field in a position from which it would be difficult to re-cover, by handing the opposition another straw man that could beshot down.

To gauge the coming perils, consider the statements of one ofthe most vindictive

and vicious LENRcritics, Prof. WilliamHapper of Princeton.

This unrepentantperson is still

mouthing his ignor-ance. The hot fu-

sioneer and formerDOE Energy Re-search Advisory

Board (ERAB) ColdFusion Report pan-

elist in 1989 isquoted in the April

2004 issue of PhysicsToday: “I think a re-

view is a waste oftime...But if you put

together a crediblecommittee, you cantry to put the issue

to bed for some time.It will come back.

The believers neverstop believing.” In

other words, Happerknows a priori that

there is no science here, that the research must all be based on be-lief. What a contemptible villain!

And note well Happer’s assumption that the DOE review will in-evitably draw a negative conclusion—a preordained result. ThoughHapper has not heretofore examined LENR papers objectively, ormost likely even read them, he confidently wears his well-knownbigotry on his sleeve. This is the man who concluded that Drs.Fleischmann and Pons were incompetent boobs, simply by watchingthem on television in 1989. Don’t think for one minute that Happerwill not actively work toward the obfuscation of even a mildly sup-portive report that the DOE might wish to issue. People like Happerare, in a peculiar way, as dastardly as terrorists who hijack airplanes.The Happers of this world are always plotting to hijack science andkill ideas that could benefit civilization, simply because of their ir-responsible fanaticism in defending shaky scientific turf.

The virtue of the DOE review process that has now been prom-ised is that it brings the topic out into the open again, it gives theLENR research community a chance to contrast its solid evidentiaryrecord with the irrational concepts and non-existent rationales ofthe pathological skeptics. It also allows the vast audience of poten-tial good will that exists for cold fusion to become engaged and fo-cused again. It gives journalists permission—the all-important newspeg (the DOE review as a hard news item)—to write about cold fu-sion again. Just as we had long predicted and therefore struggled toachieve, there has been an outpouring of general media articlesabout the DOE review. This is exciting news for young journalists,who may not even have been very aware of cold fusion, simply be-

An Expedition to Bali our forbidden archaeologist sometimes has to endure being invited to out of theway places such as Bali, the original tropical island paradise. This can meansome very tiring flights, like the one from LA to Tokyo, and then on to Singa-pore, where I spent a restless night at one of the city-state’s monotonous glass

and steel hotels. The next evening I caught the Garuda Airlines flight to Denpasar, Bali’smain city and site of its international airport. When I arrived, my hosts put me up in aboutique tropical village-style hotel in Sanur, on the southeast coast of Bali. The name ofthe place is the Tamu Kami Hotel, and I highly recommend it. Those who follow the livesof the rich and famous may recall that Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall were married in aHindu wedding ceremony at Sanur back in the 1990s. In the mornings, I would takewalks along the Sanur beach (some nice breaks out beyond the reef, if you are intosurfing), chanting Hare Krishna on my beads. In the distance, up the coast to the north, Icould see the Gunung Agung volcano rising from the golden tropical mists of dawn. Backin 1963 it blew its top, but it’s quiet now. I found the beachfront always a little deserted,an effect of some terrorist bombings a couple of years back in the main Balinese resorttown of Kuta. Still, I did notice a smattering of mostly elderly tourists from Germany,Holland, and Japan.

Bali is part of Indonesia, the fifth largest nation in the world, by population. Centu-ries ago, it was dominated by Hindu culture. Then the Muslims came, and now Indonesiais mostly Islamic. In fact it is the largest Islamic country. But somehow Bali remained un-touched, and is today still 95 percent Hindu. Because the traditional art, music, and cul-

ture throughout Indonesia is based on Hindu themes, fromthe Ramayana and Mahabharata, even the Islamic majorityretains some of that influence.

The centerpiece of my visit to Bali was a seminar, withme as chief guest, at the island’s main university, the

Udayana University in Denpasar. The seminar was dedicated to a discus-sion of my latest book, Human Devolution: A Vedic Alternative to Darwin’s

Theory, and was attended by several hundred students and professors from theuniversity, including heads of several departments, and the vice chancellor. The vice

governor of Bali also attended.

During my stay in Bali, I also took a side trip to Surabaya on the nearby island ofJava, where university students and representatives of a Hindu cultural society invited meto speak on Human Devolution at the city’s ornate main Hindu temple.

In all of my lectures in Bali and Java, I discussed an interesting case of evidence forextreme human antiquity from that part of the world. In the 1990s, archaeologists fromAustralia and Indonesia found human artifacts on Flores Island, located a few islands tothe east of Bali in the Indonesian island chain (Nature,1998, vol. 392, pp. 173-176). Theartifacts were found in a stratum given an age of 800,000 years by the zircon fission trackdating method. The archeologists had to attribute the tools to someone. They decided themakers could not have been human beings like us because according to their current wayof thinking humans beings like us did not exist 800,000 years ago in Indonesia. They be-lieve anatomically modern humanscame into existence between one andtwo hundred thousand years ago. Sowhat kind of hominid was existing800,000 years ago? Homo erectus. Sothe archaeologists dutifully attrib-uted the stone tools to Homoerectus. But there was a problemwith this. How did Homo erectus getto Flores Island, which 800,000 yearsago (as now) was separated from thenearest land by wide ocean straits?The archaeologists proposed thatHomo erectus must have made somekind of boat or raft and deliberatelycrossed the seas, from Java (then stillattached to the Southeast Asia land-mass).

But there was a problem withthat. Up to that time, archaeologistshad thought that only anatomicallymodern humans made deliberate seacrossings. In fact the oldest recog-nized evidence for deliberate seacrossings was the arrival of anatomically modern humans in Australia from SoutheastAsia at around 50,000 years ago. So to have the apeman Homo erectus sailing across theseas at 800,000 years ago was quite extraordinary. In order to explain the evidence onFlores Island, the archaeologists had to elevate the cultural level of Homo erectus to theanatomically modern human level.

I proposed that there was another solution to the problem. And the solution lies onJava (it was really nice to say that in Java). It was in Java, late in the nineteenth century,at a place called Trinil, that the Dutch researcher Eugene Dubois found the first fossils ofHomo erectus. One year he found a primitive skullcap with a prominent brow ridge. Ayear later, he found a femur (thigh bone) about 15 yards away. He put the two together,and proclaimed the Java apeman to the world of science. Dubois called the creature Pithe-canthropus erectus, but scientists now classify it as a variety of Homo erectus.

The story of Dubois’s discovery is recorded in every archaeology textbook. What wedo not see in most textbooks is that in the 1970s two prominent British physical anthro-pologists carefully studied the femur found by Java (Michael Day and T. I. Molleson,Symposia of the Society for the Study of Human Biology,vol. 2, pp. 127–154). They con-cluded it was identical to modern human femurs and that it differed in significant waysfrom every Homo erectus femur that had been found afterwards. That’s interesting, be-cause Dubois drawings of the site show that he found both the skullcap and the femur inthe same stratum. And modern geologists have used the potassium-argon method to givea date of 800,000 years to that stratum at Trinil.

• Is There Life After Death?Dr. Melvin Morse is a pediatri-cian who used to think thatpeople who were interested innear-death experiences justwanted to be on television talkshows. But something happenedto one of his patients thatchanged his opinion. Now he be-lieves the evidence points tosomething after life.

http://www.nbc10.com/news/3253894/detail.html

The evidence shows that 800,000 years ago two kinds of hominids were living in Java.First, a population of Homo erectus, as represented by the primitive skullcap. And second,a population of anatomically modern humans, as represented by the anatomically modernhuman femur. And I propose it was members of that anatomically modern human popu-lation, existing on Java 800,000 years ago, who made the sea crossing to Flores Island,and left the stone tools there.

So in order to explain the stone tools on Flores Island it is not necessary to raise thecultural level of Homo erectus to the anatomically modern human level. (At this point inthe talk, I showed an image of a Homo erectus man wearing a dress shirt and bow tie, towhich the audience mercifully responded with the hoped for laughter—sparing me the

embarrassment of a visual joke gone flat.)

Between lectures, my hosts arranged to take me tosome interesting places in Bali. One of them was PuraPenataran Sasih, the Temple of the Fallen Moon, at Pe-jeng. As in most Balinese temples, you enter a first gateinto an outer courtyard. Then you go through a secondmore elaborately carved stone gate into an inner court-yard, where you find the actual sacred temple struc-tures, which look like small pagodas. On the top of oneof the pagodas, partially hidden from view, is a largebronze kettle gong. The hour-glass-shaped kettle, about6 feet long, rests on its side. It was cast as a single pieceof bronze, and is the largest single-piece bronze objectin the world. According to local legends, it is not ofhuman manufacture, however. In his book The Art andCulture of Bali, Urs Ramseyer, says, “The gong known asthe ‘moon’ (sasih) of Pejeng is one of the category of ob-jects considered to be charged with unfathomable

power. Many Bali-nese believe thatat some timethese objects fellfrom heaven (pit-urun), and thuswere not made byman. In thecourse of timenumerous storieshave grown uparound this gong,all of which startout with an eventconnected withthe moon. Forsome it is thewell of themoon’s ‘carriage’.. . . Others see itas an ear peg ofthe moon god-dess Ratih, or as asymbol of themoon itself.”

In Bali, you do get the feeling that spirits are everywhere, not all of them of thefriendly type. I happened to be in Bali for the traditional New Year’s celebration. On theday before the New Year begins, the Balinese hold elaborate exorcisms at the main cross-roads of towns and villages (evil spirits congregate at crossroads). The evil spirits departinto the sky. The ceremonies cease at dawn, and for the next twenty four hours, everyonemust remain inside their dwellings, making no noise and showing no lights. If the evilspirits who have been driven into the sky see no people below, they will think no one isthere and will go to some other place. The prohibition on going out is rigidly followed,and even tourists are asked to observe it (although I was advised I could keep a small lighton in my hotel suite if I kept my curtains tightly drawn). And stay inside I did. I certainlydid not want to be the guy who caused the evil spirits to come back down.

in the world. It triggered a massive shift ofresources into science, technology, and ad-vanced education, in an all-out effort to“beat the Russkies.” April 1958 saw ARPA’s(Advanced Research Projects Agency—Pentagon’s military research and develop-ment group) takeover of a project initiatedby General Dynamics. As ARPA’s ProjectOrion, it envisioned using small, rapidlyejected nuclear bombs, in conjunction withspecial fuel and an armored deflector plate,to move huge numbers of personnel andmasses of equipment to the moon. Soundslike something straight out of science fic-tion, but not only were those involved deadserious, but limited flight tests were per-formed. Nor was this the only nuclear rocketpropulsion program. There was also NERVA(Nuclear Energy for Rocket Vehicle Applica-tions), which according to Encyclopedia As-tronautica (www.astronautix.com) beganJune 1, 1955.

This, then, is the climate in which nu-clear reactor work began in the Simi Hillsbetween Simi Valley and the San FernandoValley in California. The reactor work therewas in addition to rocket test work per-formed by North American Aviation (builderof the renowned P-51 Mustang fighter inWW II) since the late ’40s, and it was per-formed by Atomics International, a divisionof North American Aviation formed in 1955.

f asked to name a nuclear accident onU.S. soil, most Americans will mentionThree Mile Island, Pennsylvania in1979, if they can name one at all. Three

Mile Island certainly was a big deal, led tolarge evacuations, and could’ve been muchworse. As it was, it dealt a huge blow to theU.S. nuclear power industry. But we Ameri-cans are smugly convinced that our nuclearaccidents, there have been many (see U.S.Nuclear Accidents, http://www.lutins.org/nukes.html), were relatively minor com-pared to, say, Chernobyl, which we blithelyascribed to Russian technical backwardness,firm in our conviction that our technologyand technical knowledge made such a night-mare scenario impossible. Suppose, though,it happened to us, happened decades earlierthan Chernobyl, and unlike Chernobyl, wascovered up rather than being at least par-tially unfolded, in real time, before a horri-fied international community? Why is noone smiling? Return, then, to what the“Lone Ranger” TV program announcer usedto call “those thrilling days of yesteryear.”Time to visit America in its atomic heyday!

Three Mile Island,Our Worst NuclearAccident

� BY JOHN KETTLER

“On July 26, 1959, an experimentalnuclear reactor in the Simi Hills justto the west of Canoga Park and Chat-sworth (in the San Fernando Valleynear Los Angeles) suffered a partialmeltdown of its core. Ten of 43 fuel as-semblies were damaged, and in therush to contain the emergency a con-siderable amount of radioactive gaswas released into the air....The story ofthe nation’s first civilian reactor, andits partial meltdown, is a little-knownpart of local history.

In 1956, Atomics International—asister firm to Rocketdyne—began tosecretly develop a nuclear reactor onthe site. It was a test reactor, to becooled not with water but with so-dium. Southern California Edisonbacked the research. On July 12, 1957the first commercial nuclear powergenerated anywhere in the U.S. beganto flow from Santa Susana.

Later that year, the CBS News pro-gram See It Now with Edward R.Murrow reported on the achievement,which provided all of the power for theVentura County city of Moorpark...”

the Southeast Pacific Plateau, it is 2300miles off the coast of Chile, 2500 miles fromTahiti, and 1500 miles from Pitcairn, thenearest inhabited island. It seems aproposthat another local name for the island is “TePito Te Henua,” which has been translatedas “the navel of the world,” or “the end ofthe earth.”

Similarities to Maori, Tahitian, and Ha-waiian languages, as well as some sharedcultural traits, suggest that Rapa Nui wasfounded by Polynesian sailors. If there wereSouth American settlers in ancient times, asThor Heyerdahl once suggested, their blood-line has been lost. According to Rapanuilegend, King Hotu Mata’ua arrived on the is-land in a double-hulled canoe after fleeinghis homeland, a mythical island called Hiva.This self-imposed exile is attributed to ei-ther war or rising oceans. Though thelegend says that he first sent a priest (in theform of a bird) to scout the island, it iswidely known that the ancient Polynesianswere master navigators, able to track thestars, sail upwind, and follow bird migra-tions to settle new islands.

These secrets of navigation, along with agreat many keys to the ancient culture,were lost in the years after European dis-covery and subjugation. Even before the ar-rival of Europeans, tribal warfare and ex-hausted resources had destroyed many ofthe great works of the island, as well asmuch of the knowledge possessed by theirancestors. The Rapanui were brutally mis-

sionized, much of the population sold off inthe Peruvian slave trade, and smallpox epi-demics left only 111 Rapanui remaining onthe island at the beginning of the twentiethcentury. The surviving islanders were con-fined to reservations until as recently as the1960s. As time passed, tsunamis battered therocky coast, tribal war and cannibalism de-stroyed much of the ancient culture, andtoday all of the moai seen standing in photo-graphs have been resurrected by modern ef-forts.

I watch the crane struggle with a mas-sive cylinder of red scoria. As it heaves andrepositions the load, the awkwardness of itstask becomes apparent. A modern engi-neering wonder, the crane awkwardly at-tempts to drag a piece of fallen statue to thetop of a seaside cliff. There can be no doubtthat the ancestors on Easter Island pos-sessed a knowledge that has been lost to theages. If our modern inventions can barelylift these stones, how did the Rapanui ac-complish such monumental tasks?

According to local folklore, the com-pleted moai were said to have walked totheir positions along the coast. They stoodupon ceremonial platforms called ahu, andexcept for a select few, faced inland, over-seeing ceremonies that took place beforethem. These exceptions are found at Ahu

f the ancient mysteries on ourplanet, few remain as enigmatic asthe stone sculptures of Easter Is-land. Weighing an average of 14

tons, these immense monolithic statues,called moai, have confounded us since their“discovery” by Dutch explorer Jacob Rogge-veen on Easter Sunday 1722. There arenearly 900 moai on this small island, andthey resemble no other ancient form ofsculpture. Few doubt that these remarkablefeats indicate a highly advanced people. Butthe civilization that fostered their achieve-ment has vanished, along with most tracesof the island’s history.

From the rocky cliffs that line the coastof Rapa Nui, the ocean horizon is an un-broken blue arc. The waves pound with furyand recede in an enduring rhythm. Amidthis dizzying perspective, the isolation onefeels here seems beyond comprehension.Our modern estimates say the Rapanuiwere isolated on the island for over a thou-sand years until their first contact with Eu-ropeans. But too often our modern esti-mates are merely stabs in the dark at anunexplainable past. The moai stand silentand expressionless on the ocean’s edge.What secrets do these stone faces guard?What meaning can they hold for us today?

ANCIENT MYSTERIES

tlantis was the first global civilization.There has not been one since, in-cluding our own which, for all ofits attempts at internationalism, is

fractured everywhere. The early ClassicalGreek historian, Hesiod, wrote of an oicu-mene, or a world-power (from which ourword, “ecumenical,” derives) that dominateda Golden Age of universal magnificence andsun-worship. Its movers and shakers werepyramid-builders, who erected their sin-gular structures from the Atlantic isles east-ward to Egypt and Sumer, and westward tothe Americas. But far less well-known arethe pyramids of Asia. They are surviving tes-timony to the same Atlantean civilizers whoroamed the planet.

The hilly, thickly forested and surpris-ingly under-populated countryside outsidethe big city of Negoya, in north-centralJapan, is little known to outsiders, even to

many Japanese.Practically con-cealed amid theabundant plant-lifeof the forest floor isan almost perfectly symmetrical stone pyr-amid on the slope of Mount Kasagi. It hasbeen precisely crafted from a single massiveblock of solid granite weighing an estimatednine tons, although the surface is una-dorned by markings of any kind. No equiva-lent stone may be found in the immediatevicinity, so moving the heavy block to its lo-cation on the slope of a mountain requiredtransportation skills on a par with itscarving. Not only the surrounding heavyvegetation, but the structure’s position in avalley demonstrate it was never intended forastronomical purposes. Standing aboutseven feet tall and some fourteen feet acrossat the base, it is a powerful work of art,starkly commanding. Who sculpted it,when, and for what purpose, no one knows.

No burials have been associated with this“trigonon,” as it is referred to by ProfessorNobuhiro Yoshida, President of the JapanPetroglyph Society (Kitakyushu). He is oneamong many Japanese scholars who havestudied the structure, although its existenceis virtually unknown in the West. Folk tradi-tion among the local peasantry, however, de-scribes a white snake that dwells under andwithin the Mount Kasagi pyramid. In a pre-historic ritual still annually performed bypious residents, they leave an offering ofeggs as a ceremonial feast for the serpentinegenius loci, or “spirit of the place.”

Mythic relationship between a sacredsnake and egg symbolism does not occurelsewhere in Japan, or the rest of Asia. But itis known on the other side of the world fromJapan in the Nile Valley as Kneph, the ser-pent manifestation of Khnemu. His serpentpower (Kneph) appears to be the Egyptianversion of Benten, the goddess of MountKasagi’s “trigonon,” because her myth de-scribes her as the Lady of the White Ser-pents, and tells of her ancient arrival inJapan from over the sea. Interestingly, dis-played at her Tokyo shrine at Shirorama arestone and bronze images of a pyramid, heremblem.

More than phonetically, Benten appearsrelated to the Benben, an Egyptian phoenix-like bird of immortality, likewise associatedwith a sacred egg. Benben was the name andpersonification of the pyramidian, incor-rectly referred to as a pyramid “capstone” ofthe Great Pyramid. A Benten-Benben rela-

tionship seems tooclose to be circum-stantial. Japanese-Egyptian compari-

sons grow evencloser when we

learn that the apexangle of the “trig-

onon”—-76 de-grees—-is identicalto that of the Great

Pyramid. The ob-scure pyramidian is

not alone. Fourother similarly cut

stone structures are spaced every 100 me-ters, three of them forming a triangular pat-tern along Mount Kasagi’s ridge. Their im-mediate vicinity is uncommonly rich inprehistoric rock art, indicating that this re-mote and almost inaccessible area was im-portant to the pyramid-builders.

While no other “trigonons” have beenfound, a scene reminiscent of Atlantis itselfmay be found at Atami-san. Mount Atami,on the northeastern coast of Japan’s Izu-hanto, the Izu Peninsula (Shizuoka Prefec-ture ken, Honshu), facing Sagami-nada (theGulf of Sagami), is an enormous but extinctvolcano, the ancient source from which thecity of Atami, built within the crater, derives

G� BY WILL HART

enetics has entered the fields of history and archaeologynot with quiet footsteps but with loud thunderclaps thathave rudely awakened our slumbering scholars. Unfortu-nately, the public is unaware of how the results of

mtDNA and other genetic studies have upset the orthodox ap-plecart. I have referred to several examples, i.e., the domestica-tion of dogs from wolves and cereal crops from the seeds ofwild grass, in prior articles.

Many genetically determined traits (such as blood groups)vary geographically. The variations can help us un-derstand human history and how populations mi-grated. The most well established genetic tools todate are the results of ABO blood group studiesconducted for almost a century. The next are themuch newer DNA, mostly mtDNA (mitochon-drial DNA) studies. Now, let us move on tothe controversial findings of ge-neticists asthey apply tothe myster-ious peo-


ples of North WestAfrica, the Ca-

nary Islandsand the

Iberian Penin-sula.

Independentresearchers have

long suspected thatthe Berbers, Guanche

and Basques immi-grated to the region of

Southwestern Europe andNorthwestern Africa from At-

lantis. However, modernscholars flatly reject this

theory. They claimthat the Berbers mi-

grated to North Africaeither from Eu-

rope or fromthe MiddleEast. Sev-

eral thingsto keep in

mind as weanalyze the

facts, the Berbersare a Caucasian people, a

fact that has longstumped historians.

This is why it wasthought they must

have come fromEurope. The Ber-

bers inhabit thearea from Mo-

rocco to Algeriaand Egypt. They

speak an ancient Ha-mitic language, Imhagzin, the

lost tongue of the Pharaohs.The Berbers were overrun by Arabs in

the 8th century and the two populations in-termarried, so the Berbers of today do not

look like their ancestors. We know thatmany Berbers prior to the Arab con-

quest of the region had light skin, blueeyes and brown, red or blonde hair. These

recessive genes still show up in the tribeand travelers have noted these ‘European’looking Berbers down through the centu-

ries. This is also true of the nativeGaunche people of the Canary Islands,

who were conquered in the 14th centuryby the Spaniards. They spoke a branch of

the same language as the Berbers andthe invaders described them as a race of

‘white Indians,’ meaning they livedprimitively yet they had light skin, blonde

hair and blue eyes.There has been a quiet transformation of orthodox theories re-

garding this region and its native dwellers in recent years. However,it seems to have largely gone unnoticed by the alternative history

camp. Today, no one doubts that the Berbers are the indigenous in-habitants of North Africa. Their presence in Africa has been estab-

MAGICAL EGYPT Thereare two different storiestold about this same land,two different histories,almost as if there weretwo Egypts.

This ancient land hasalways partaken of a dualnature. The public face ofEgypt is known the worldover, and told in everyhistory book. But there isanother side of Egypt thatis not so widely known.Egypt is also a land ofsecrets.

Another history, asecret history, tells ofEgypt as the inheritor ofdeep wisdom and magicalability from an evenearlier ancestor culture.This alternate history isechoed by parallelaccounts from the mythand history of otherancient cultures, as wellas myriad secret societiesand occult sources. It isthe account of theEgyptians themselves. Theremarkable number ofparallels in these storiesprovides a uniquewindow into this otherEgypt.

Magical Egypt takes alook at the shadowyhistory and magicalpractices of anotherEgypt, the other Egypt;Egypt as the keeper ofsecrets, the land ofriddles, the birthplace ofmagic and the home ofthe mystery schools.

DNAdescendants of the Gaunche still living onthis island have above a 60 percent distribu-tion. Similar results have been obtained forthe Berbers of the Atlas Mountains who hada nearly 50 percent type O negative.

Clearly, these three groups, which haveoften been linked to Atlantis, have a geneticbackground that is different than other pop-ulations on any continent. Now, if we turnto the latest mitochrondrial DNA researchfindings we encounter results that confirm

the blood group anal-ysis. Mitochrondria is

the maternal DNA lin-eage. Most of Europe

is fairly uniform interms of mtDNA hap-logroups. About 99%

of the EuropeanmtDNAs can be sub-

sumed within 9mtDNA haplogroups,designated H, I, J, K,

T, U, V, W and X (Tor-roni et al. 1996), and

these haplogroupscan be further sub-sumed within four

mtDNA haplogroupclusters, HV, UK, TJ

and WIX.The U haplogroup

is like the type O neg-ative blood, a rare

group that exists inlow frequencies

throughout most of Europe but is highamong our three groups. It is also of a moreancient origin than the others and it hasbeen traced to North Africa. What I havefound in my research is a particular lineagecalled U61b appears to have been the ances-tral line than links the Guanche and Ber-bers. As noted, these peoples share acommon language and the Canary Islandsare off the coast of NW Africa. The Gauncheare the only culture known to have prac-ticed the art of mummification almost ex-actly as the ancient Egyptians.

So now what we have are three peoples,long associated with Atlantis, that bear aunique and similar genetic heritage. Theirblood group is rare and their mtDNA is themost ancient of Europe and its origin hasbeen traced to Northern Africa. On the basisof complete mtDNA sequences, it has beenproposed that U6 lineages, mainly found inMorroco, first appeared 39,000–52,000 yearsago. The prevailing theory about how the U6lineage got to NW Africa is that it came byway of a back migration that is sub-SaharanAfricans, migrated north into the MiddleEast, and eventually this lineage producedthe Caucasian blood group and mtDNAcluster that migrated and settled in NorthAfrica.

However, does this make sense? Since

lished from Paleolithic times. As we saw,Berbers are a Caucasian people and theypredate the appearance of Europeans to thenorth. The question, then, is where did theyoriginally come from? Obviously the earlypresence (45,000 years ago) of Caucasians inAfrica creates difficulties for the ‘Out of Af-rica’ hypothesis.

There would appear to be no reason forsub-Sahara Africansto have mutatedtheir native hair andskin color in thenearby trek tonorthern Africa, so itis doubtful that everhappened. With thatlogical migratory pat-tern tossed out, his-torians claim thatthe Berbers got thereby way of a back mi-gration. Now, whilethe new field of ge-netics is largelyrelying on mtDNA re-search, the most wellestablished geneticstudies involve bloodgroup analysis. Theresults of studies ofBerber, Canary Is-land and Basqueblood types are ex-traordinarily revealing. These groupscluster together, at the same time, theyshow important distances from the sub-Saharan, northern European and MiddleEastern blood group patterns.

The most enigmatic and rare bloodgroup is the ‘type O’, Rh negative. Whereas‘type O’ Rh positive is common amonghuman groups all over the world, the nega-tive factor is very uncommon. However, thisunique blood type is common among thethree groups under discussion. As with thequestion of where these tribes originated wemust also ask where the ‘type O-negative’comes from. For starters about 85% of theglobal population is Rh positive. When weturn to the specific blood ‘type O’ Rh-negative we find that about 7% of the peoplein the world have this blood type. Whatmakes this blood so extraordinary? Peoplewith this rare blood are the universal do-nors, they can give blood to anyone. How-ever, they can only receive blood from othertype O negatives.

We find very high rates of blood type O-negative among modern Basque, Berber andCanary Island populations, from 40 to 70percent. This is a very significant statisticaldeviation from the norm, Genetic analysis of‘Gaunche’ mummies located on La Gomeraisland showed an astounding 79 percent‘type 0’ Rh negative blood distribution inthe ancient (pre-conquest) population.

Searching for “Life”So what exactly is NASA searching for?Though only indirectly, with a wink or a

Mona Lisa smile, NASA’s leaders say that“where there was water there could be life.”Officially, they are all just searching for evi-dence of water. If water is still there, itwould make it so much more feasible toachieve the vision—declared by PresidentGeorge W. Bush–-of sending people fromEarth to Mars. A dream for the future!

In the midst of such exciting develop-ments, it seems appropriate to tell to AllConcerned: Travel between Earth and Marsby intelligent beings has already beenachieved—tens of thousands of years ago!

ALTERNATIVE SCIENCE

� BY ZECHARIA SITCHINhe planet Mars is back in the news.

This time, in spite of precedingfailures (by Japan, Britain) of Marsmissions, manmade Landers and

their robotic rovers—NASA’s Spirit and Op-portunity— made it safely and successfullyto the Red Planet. A spacecraft launched bythe European Space Agency, Mars Express—a companion to the British failed lander/rover mission—is safely in orbit aroundMars. And the initial indications, and photo-graphs, already suggest that the assumptionunderlying these missions appear to beproven true that Mars was once a planet with

Twater—rivers, lakes, perhaps even seas andthat some of that water is still there.

Although the current explorations onMars in search of water (then or even now)have been presented as a new endeavor trig-gered by photographs of the surface of Marstaken in 1996 (Mars Global Surveyor) andsince 2001 (Mars Pathfinder), the fact is thatphotographs taken two decades and moreago, by the Mariner spacecraft, alreadyshowed such evidence. In my book GenesisRevisited, 1990, I reproduced NASA’s ownphotographs to show evidence of waterflows and shorelines, and concluded une-quivocally that, at least in the past, Marswas a watery planet.

Mars as a WayStation

In their texts the Su-merians wrote that the

Anunnaki traveled toEarth in groups of fifty.

The first team, underthe leadership of E-A

(“Whose home iswater”) splashed down

in the waters of the Per-sian Gulf, waded ashore,

away”). In time, 600Anunnaki were de-

ployed on Earth and an-other 300 operated shuttlecraft betweenEarth and Mars—yes, Mars!

Pictorial evidence for the Earth-Marsconnection is provided by a depiction on acylinder seal (now kept at the HermitageMuseum in St. Petersburg, Russia)—Fig.121 in The 12th Planet:

It depicts an astronaut (“Eagleman”) onEarth (the planet marked by the seven dots,accompanied by the crescent of the Moon)and an astronaut on Mars (the six-pointedstar symbol)—the latter depicted as onefrom the “Fishmen” class of astronauts,those equipped to splash down in waters. Between the two planets an object is de-picted that could only be a spacecraft, withextended panels and antennas.

The Sumerian EvidenceThe evidence for that was

recorded–-in words and illus-trations—by the Sumerians,whose civilization blossomedout in Mesopotamia (nowmostly Iraq) some six thou-sand years ago.

They did not claim theachievement of visiting Marsfor themselves. Rather, theywrote on their clay tabletsabout the Anunnaki (“Thosewho from Heaven to Earthcame”) who came to Earthfrom their planet Nibiru, atwelfth member of our solar system(counting, as they did, the Sun, Moon andten planets) whose great elliptical orbitaround the Sun lasts some 3,600 (Earth-)years. The many ancient texts, unearthed byarchaeologists, that deal with the Anunnaki,their comings and goings, and the astro-nomical knowledge (among other sciences)that they bequeathed to mankind, have beenrevealed and explained in my series of books,beginning with The 12th Planet.

Moreover, the texts have been accompa-nied by illustrations found on clay tablets ordrawn on cylinder seals. In texts dealingwith the actual space travel between theplanets, Earth was designated as the seventhplanet—which indeed it is but only if onecounts from outside-in, where Pluto wouldbe the first, Neptune the second, Uranus and Continued on Page 65

RARE GEMESTONE PENDANT

MOLDAVITE“PSYCHIC” GEM FROM SPACE

There is only one place on earth where MOLDAVITE can be found...along the Moldau River in Czechoslovakia. It is truly a rare gem as scien-tists have determined that it fell to Earth from space about 15 million yearsago. It is more rare than diamonds, rubies or emeralds. It had been calledby many as the gem of The New Age because its special properties are moreenticing than any crystal; in fact it vibrates 80 times faster than quartz. Butwhat is really exciting about its properties is that they are tuned to DIRECTINTERDIMENSIONAL COMMUNICATION!

WHAT THIS MEANS is that when working with, or even just holdingMoldavite, one is availing oneself of a Direct Access Code-Key, enabling theparticipant to tie a direct line into the higher dimensional communiquésystems.

It is also a way of immediately clearing and aligning the entire chakrasystem and, according to the level of awareness reached, it will make theconnection to the so-called 8th chakra or “telepathic receiver band.”

HEIGHTENED INTUITION AND AWARENESS CANNOW BE YOURS!

Communication comes in all forms, including very vivid visualiza-tions, heightened intuition, innate knowingness, etc. One man who pur-chased a Moldavite ring claimed to have seen, during meditation, his entirewall open up as though beckoning him to “step through” into another timeand space. Testimonies have been received from dozens of those who havepurchased our Moldavite gemstone pendant. Channel and prophet DianeTessman proclaimes, “Moldavite has a unique quality that is a positive ap-proach to opening doorways to other dimensions. It is a very ‘positive and

clear’ channeling source.” Carol Ann Rodriguez, a visionary artist,says, “1 felt the magic...the energy flow ...the first time I touched thegem pendant. I’ve never felt anything like this in my years of work.”

high as 112 feet, dot the green countrysideof Ireland. The monasteries of Monaster-boice, Domhnach, and Kilkenny provideprime examples of churches built adjacentto earlier round towers. Although some re-searchers believe they were fire temples ded-icated to sun worship, most of these com-manding structures are located next tohealing springs or holy wells. The Americanscientist Philip Callahan contends that theywere constructed to collect wavelengths ofelectromagnetic energy in the same way theantennae of insects do. (See Martin Gray’s“Places of Peace and Power” web site, http://www.sacredsites.com/2nd56/190.html.)

Others theorize that the Phoeniciansspread this particular architectural featureglobally in homage to Baal, the fertility deityof rain, thunder, and lightning. Some be-lieve that a group of Knights Templar evensailed to the New England coast in 1308 anderected a Romanesque round tower at New-port, Rhode Island.

We need more than mere architecturalcongruity, however, to establish thecommon source of these structures. The re-ligiously and psychologically charged figureof the serpent or snake provides the link.Many distinct cultures, including the Hopiof Arizona, associate this reptile with roundtowers that reach toward storm cloudsbearing moisture.

Rstructure. Circular buildings are found atMummy Cave Ruin in Canyon de Chelly(traditional home of the Snake Clan) and atWukoki Ruin at Wupatki National Monu-ment, both in Arizona. The astronomical or-ientations of the latter structure appear akinto those of the circular Caracol observatoryat Chichen Itza built three hundred yearsearlier by the Maya of the Yucatan, who wor-shiped the plumed serpent Kukulkan. Wu-koki is also a former house of the SnakeClan.

In fact, the Hopi referred to roundtowers as “snake houses.” A narrative de-scribing the origin of the Snake Clan men-tions that the wife of the culture hero Tiyogave birth to a brood of venomous snakes,which kept getting loose. In one version ofthe myth, Masau (Hopi god of death, theearth, and the Underworld) explains to thesnake mother why her children no longercan have a house in which to live. “AndMasau said, ’No, the snakes have no housesbecause they have bitten and killed Hopithey should never again have a house, butshould live under rocks and in holes in theground.’ But he also said the snake’s houses(the round towers) which were built forthem should never again be destroyed andthat all coming generations of people shouldknow the snake’s doom, never again to havea house.” (Alexander M. Stephen, “TheJournal of American Folklore,” January/March 1929) We are obviously not talkingabout rattlesnake pens but instead are refer-ring to either the domiciles or the templesof a dangerous, snake-like race.

Most of Europe’s Gothic cathedrals wereconstructed using the architectural designsuncovered in a 12th century excavation ofthe Temple Mount in Jerusalem by theKnights Templar. One of the key architec-tural features of this fraternal organization(which eventually gave rise to both the Rosi-crucians and the Freemasons) was theround temple. Nigel Pennick in Sacred Ge-ometry (1982) explains: “Like the Pagantemples, the round churches were micro-cosms of the world. In the late Middle Ages,they became the prerogative of an enigmaticand heretical sect, the Knights Templar.The round form of church became espe-cially connected with the order...” Contraryto the Latinate cross representing the bodyof Christ, this circular structure in Chris-tian terms symbolized the worldly or eventhe satanic domain. In addition, the roundstructure signified an omphalos where tel-lurian serpent forces accumulated.

Many round towers built by the Anasazi(or ancestral Hopi) can still be found in theAmerican Southwest. At the Chetro Ketlpueblo ruin in Chaco Canyon, New Mexico,a round “tower kiva” rises three storieshigh. Circular towers at Kin Kletso and TsinKletsin in the same canyon are also found,and the Chacoan outliers of Salmon Ruin 40miles due north and Kin Ya’a Ruin 25 milesdue south contain similar structures. Manyround towers are located as well at the spec-tacular cliff dwellings in Mesa Verde Na-tional Park of southwestern Colorado. Theseinclude Cliff Palace, Sun Temple, CedarTree Tower, and Far View Community. TheHovenweep complex in southeastern Utahalso exemplifies this type of ceremonial Continued on Page 36

To intensify the mystery, the word“Chna,” an English transliteration of theGreek word referring to the Phoenician landof Canaan, is homophonically similar toCh’a, the Hopi name for the worshipedsnake that initiated their biennial ceremonystill performed today on the high desert ofArizona in order to bring rain. The biblicalAnakim were known to have hailed fromsouthern Canaan. In addition, Baal, thePhoenician rain god mentioned above, issimilar in sound and sense to the Hopi word

paal. (Because the Hopihave no “b’” sound, “p”

is the closest approxi-mation.) This word

means “liquid,” “treesap,” “juice,” or

“broth.” Its root wordpa (or paa) denotes

“water,” but it also hasthe sense of “wonder,

awe, surprise,” etc. Did the Phoeni-

cians, who may haveassisted the Anasazi in

building the roundtowers, come to the

American Southwestand establish outpoststhere in order to trade

with the latter? Werethe Knights Templar the recipients of thisNaga/Phoenician legacy, carrying forth theancient traditions bequeathed from Egypt?Specifically, the djed pillar was known asthe “backbone of Osiris.” Morphologicallysimilar to the round towers, this columnsymbolically channeled the kundalini (ser-pent energy) up the vertebrae. In Jesus, Lastof the Pharaohs (1999), Ralph Ellis aversthat round towers were modeled after theBenben tower located in the PhoenixTemple at Heliopolis. (The Phoenicians tooktheir name from the mythical bird that rosefrom its ashes.) He also says that over 7,000Nuraghi, or circular towers constructedduring the second millennium BC, arefound on the island of Sardinia north of theancient Phoenician city of Carthage(modern-day Tunis).

Do these structures form a global net-work centered around ophidian fertilitysymbols? To return to our starting point,were the Irish round towers also “snakehouses,” or phallic temples used by a race ofserpent people whom St. Patrick in the 5thcentury AD ultimately had to chase into thesea?

Perhaps we are uncovering more ques-tions than answers. Nonetheless, the roundtowers of stone survive as a testament to theawesome spiritual power of the Knights ofthe Round Temple. Their serpentine eyesgaze across the centuries, sending a shiverup the spine now and then.

In a Christian context these creaturessuggest the Devil and his minions. “And thegreat dragon was cast out, that old serpent,called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveththe whole world: he was cast out into theearth, and his angels were cast out withhim.” (Revelation 12:9) (In one sense theHopi cast out their “snakes” too.) AndrewCollins’ book From theAshes of Angels (2001)refers to an apocalypticfragment from theDead Sea Scrolls calledthe Testament ofAmram. In a dream-vision Amram, the fa-ther of Moses, sees aWatcher called Belial.He is “terrifying in ap-pearance, like a ser-pent...” and “his visage[is] like a viper...” Thefigure of Belial refer-enced in II Corinthians6:15 means “lawless-ness,” “worthless,” or“reckless” and is an ap-pellation of Satan. The word “serpent,” Mr.Collins adds, is synonymous with both theEnochian Watchers and the Nephilim, thelatter denoting the “giants in the earth”from Genesis 6:4.

Most significantly, the Hopi myth citedabove concludes with an offering to the re-covered snakes. “When the snakes were allcollected and they were gathered together atnight they took the first snake they hadfound and washed its head and gave it thename Ch’a (he of the earth) and decorated itwith beads and earrings. Then the Youth[viz., Tiyo] opened a bag and gave the peoplecotton and beads and said as the snakes hadbrought rain the people should now behappy and content, and on every celebrationof the Snake festival good things would begiven to them.”

The offerings of earrings and what maybe construed as necklaces are particularlyinteresting. Collins goes on to say that theNephilim are also known as the sons of theAnakim. “The word Anak is generally takenby Jewish scholars to mean ’long-necked’,or ’the men with the necklaces’...” In thiscontext it is curious that the Hopi termnaaqa means “turquoise necklace” or “earpendant “ and that anaaq means “ouch!", aninterjection used to express extreme pain,such as that caused by a snakebite. Is this,then, a reference to the Indo-EuropeanNagas, those snake-worshiping seafarersoriginating from the Indus River Valley? Arethese the so-called Long Ears, whostretched their lobes with ear-plugs? Coinci-dentally, archaeologists found an example ofthis artifact in an ancient pueblo ruinknown as Snaketown near modern-dayPhoenix.

FINALLY, THE STORIES OF SUPPRESSED INVENTIONS ARE TOLD

receding every great advance and many of the setbacks in our history, thegeniuses of both light and darkness, have battled for the hearts and minds

of the rest of us. But, despite the stubborn resistance of those committed tothe primitive notions of earlier ages, the outrageous impossibilities of onegeneration continue to become the revolutionary breakthroughs of the nextand the basic necessities of the future.

Still... in the 20th century, while the Marconi's...the Henry Ford's...theThomas Edison's have succeeded in capturing most of the attention, otherswith technological prowess bordering on the miraculous, strangely, have goneunnoticed. Men with names like Tesla, Moray, Rife, Russell and Schauberger,laboring in almost complete obscurity, and achieving almost incomprehensiblemiracles--free energy, anti-gravity, transmutation of the elements, physicalrejuvenation and more--were yet largely rejected, ridiculed and despised by thescientific establishment of their day. But now, a few decades later, a newbreed of inventors, scientists and researchers is making rapid, if yetunpublicised, strides toward unraveling the astonishing secrets of those unsunggiants who preceded them. Today, many of these new technological magiciansfind themselves on the threshold of breakthroughs, still believed, by many, tobe the stuff of hallucination.

getting THE Orca message

ere’s something that’s hard to be-lieve: more people visit zoos andanimal themeparks annu-

ally than attend collegeand professionalsporting events com-bined. That’s a lot of folkswalking through the turnstiles at SeaWorld -style centers! And, according to Dr.Randall Eaton, the biggest draw is orcas,commonly known as ‘killer’ whales, a namehe considers a tragic misnomer. “Orcas arethe marine counterpart to man—highlysocial, dominant predators with ex-tremely advanced brains who ruled thesea for millions of years, unlike humans,who have been in charge for only a fewthousand years on land.” An interna-tionally recognized authority on animalbehavior and wildlife conservation,Eaton presides over the Delphi Fund,which explores the human/dolphin(orcas are the largest of the dolphinfamily) connection. While some bemoanthe fate of captive whales, Eaton thinksthey may be very much in control of thesituation. “Orcas might be the ones tryingto communicate with us,” he says. “Oncethey’re caught in a net they seem to volun-tarily give up resistance and cooperate withtheir human captors, allowing people tomove their pectoral fins and even to ridethem.”

The popular art film Whale Rider hashelped educate the broader populationabout indigenous traditions and beliefsabout the orca, which many cultures con-sider to be the most powerful Being onearth. Eaton’s own documentary Orca: TheSacred Whale won first place in the OWAANatural History category, inspiring a NewYork Post reviewer to write, “This is amongthe best videos I have ever seen.”

While he believes that orcas allow them-selves to be captured in order to reach outto humans, Eaton is dismayed that aquar-iums and sea parks haven’t chosen to learnenough about the cetaceans they harbor.“They should be fed live fish so theirhunting instinct is preserved, and the an-imal veterinarians treating them need to bemore specialized,” he says. He’d also like tosee communication efforts expanded, a fieldin which he has 20 years of experience.

With research volunteers, Eaton studiedand befriended orca whales in the Pacific

vulnerable andit’s impossible tolie.” Though he’shad “sexy, glam-

orous things”happen duringhis interactionwith them, his

take-home state-ment is about the

incredible sta-bility and solidity

of orca societiesand the won-derful level of

cooperation that existsamong them. Of all the

dominant predators (hu-mans, orcas, wolves and

lions), only the orca doesnot make war. “We can

learn from their ex-ample about how to

rule ourselves andhow to govern our

relationships,” saysEaton. He notes thatthe orca society is a

true matriarchy (unlikethe elephant’s, considered to be

matriarchal, but whose adultmales form ‘bachelor’ herds),

possibly the only true suchstructure in nature other

than in social insect colonieslike those of bees.

Eaton has numerous credentials, in-cluding a B.A. in biology and a Ph.D. fromPurdue University. He has held faculty posi-tions in zoology, psychology and the hu-manities at Florida Atlantic University andthe universities of Washington and Georgia,and was invited by Harvard to apply for atenured post in vertebrate behavior in 1982.Over 300 of his articles have appeared insuch varied publications as Science and Ev-olution, Sports Illustrated and MagicalBlend.

Review, Omni, the Los Angeles Times andthe Washington Post. CBS aired a speech hegave on ecological problems in the U.S., andPBS’ popular program Nova interviewedhim about endangered species. He has beenthe winner of two national book awards, andhas received numerous writing and film ac-colades. His career has led him from Seattle,where he attended graduate school, to Af-rica, where he studied lions,and to most of the world’s in-digenous cultures. Eaton hasbeen initiated in the spiritualtraditions of the Lakota,Sioux, Maya and PolynesianKahunas.

A poet active in the per-sonal growth movement,Eaton has had a myriad of‘wild’ experiences: everythingfrom levitation to near deathto interaction with thelegendary, centuries-oldreclusive saint Babaji.And, of course, telepathiccommunication withorcas (though he nevertook LSD “nor read asingle book by JohnLilly”). His teachers havebeen the orcas, the Maya,Lakota and Huna, Krishna-murti, Eckhart Tolle and ACourse in Miracles. He ac-knowledges that not everyone needs to havethe same experiences—not even thehunting experience he finds so enriching.“Science wants to bring forth general princi-ples and apply them to everyone—I’m notthat naive.” Though his passions run strong,Eaton seems to be a man with a moderatetemperament saddened by his elder son’slack of interest in hunting both as a youthand as an adult, he isn’t pushing hunting onhis younger son, now 9.

Standing next to his wife Cathy in theirkitchen in northeast Oregon, Eaton saysthey’ve long since settled the argumentabout eggs. A former professional athlete,she wouldn’t eat the yolks. He, an avidweight lifter, insisted “the yolk is part of aperfect food.” They compromised, eatingwhole eggs some days and egg-white ome-lettes others. Or by adjusting the ratio ofyolks to whites. While this may not seem tohold significance beyond the Eaton house-hold, it’s symbolic of the ‘bridging’ nature ofa man quietly influencing the developmentof human evolution and environmentalethics. Like religion, what we eat is hotly de-bated and can spawn more than heated dis-cussions at the dinner table. Political issuesabound concerning genetically modifiedfoodstuffs, irradiation, cattle and poultryfeedlot sanitation and pollution, water use,fishing and hunting regulations and quotas,

among others. During the time he lived inNepal, Eaton was told by a lama that “it’snot what you eat, but what you do withwhat you eat.” He elaborates: “Are you par-ticipating in the spiritual evolution of whatyou eat?” He explains that the Eastern con-cept of “ahimsa,” the principle of non-violence, is most often interpreted to mean‘avoid killing sentient life.’ “In ancient San-skrit it meant “avoid unnecessarily taking alife. “

An avid hunter and fisherman, Eaton hasfaced lines of picketing dem-onstrators carrying placards

sporting “Save the Wilder-ness, Kill a Hunter

Today.” He keeps his cool,pointing out that the

most peaceful people onearth include the Kalahari

bushmen, pygmies and Abos,all hunters. He also notes

that Theodore Roosevelt andNelson Mandela were hunters

and that Switzerland, acountry known for lowcrime and neutrality inwar, requires male citi-

zens to own guns.“Hunters and fishermen

are among the most promi-nent and influential of all

U.S. demographic groups,” hewrites. “They support more

jobs than the largest Fortune500 company, and rank as the

11th largest corporation in America. Eachyear they generate six times more moneythan Hollywood’s top 40 movies of all time!They also contribute more (up to $1.7 bil-lion annually) to environmental and speciespreservation than any other group. “ Eatoncites the contribution of Ducks Unlimitedmembers who have permanently conservedover eleven million acres of wetlandsthroughout North America.

Such facts form background material inEaton’s films The Sacred Hunt and Respectand Responsibility: The Truth About KidsWho Hunt. Adolescent neuro-psychologistJim Rose of the University of Wyoming be-lieves that shooting and hunting teach kidsself-control, self-restraint and sound judg-ment, along with empathy and compassion.“Hunting and tracking offer skills like pat-tern recognition, seeing beyond the surfaceand asking deeper questions.” One partici-pant in the documentaries suggests thathunting should be considered a DomesticNational Security Measure, teaching kids torespect life and to protect nature. WouldColumbine have happened if its perpetratorshad been properly mentored in hunting andshooting? Eaton’s new book, From Boys toMen of Heart promotes rites of passage thatinclude hunting, vision questing and art.Observations of orcas inspired him to iden-

SECRET HISTORY

s millions have flocked to see MelGibson’s Passion of the Christ amultitude of controversies has alsoarisen. For some the issue is: can

such graphic violence serve a spiritual pur-pose? For others, questions of anti-semitismare crucial, while still others see advance-ment for a religious agenda. Hollywood’smoguls, however, look to clone the formula,create a franchise—develop, perhaps, a holycash cow.

Everyone agrees on at least one thing,the movie has been a phenomenon,breaking most box office records. Passion, itseems, may have benefited from the samepower source that brought the world theChristian religion in the first place. Cer-tainly the story of a hero unjustly sacrificedfor the crimes of the multitude has been thestuff of countless tales from many cultures,and the catharsis that comes from frequentretelling has, over the centuries, providednot a little cultural upliftment.

In Hero with a Thousand Faces andother books, mythologist Joseph Campbellhas suggested that the solitary journey ofthe universal Hero, East or West, is funda-mental to the survival of the human tribe,even though that tribe may persecute andeven kill its benefactor. Similar argumentshave been made by others, such as Sir JamesFrazer in The Golden Bough. Indeed itsechoes have undergirded many of Holly-wood’s best efforts, from Lord Jim to TheMan Who Would Be King.

Unfortunately, Mel Gibson seems littleinterested in such stuff. Instead, as in hisprevious blockbuster Braveheart, he appearsfixated on the graphic details of cruel phys-ical torture. Passion spends an endless 10minutes on the actual flaying of Jesus by

A

Roman guards and dwells in excruciatingdetail on the most violent aspects of thestory. In Braveheart’s climactic sceneGibson’s Scottish hero William Wallace wasvividly portrayed being systematicallypulled to pieces. Such imagery, Gibson hasargued, serves to emotionally move his au-dience. Indeed it may, but whether it servesany higher purpose is debatable.

Passion relies for its narrative on thegospels and familiar catholic tradition. Thefourteen stations of the cross are clearly de-picted, including the wiping of Jesus’ faceby Veronica. Though the scene is probablyunfamiliar to most evangelical protestantsthey have embraced the film nonetheless.Regarding the actual events of Jesus’ lasthours, Gibson takes no exception to ortho-doxy, and has, thus, doubtless, endearedhimself to conservative Christians bitterlyopposed to the various—less conven-tional—Hollywood versions of recent his-tory (i.e., Last Temptation of Christ).

Opinion divides, it seems, largely alongbeliever/non-believer lines. On one side is

mainstream Christianity—both catholic andprotestant, and on the other, the secular hu-manist establishment. Ironically, both basetheir reaction on literal Biblical interpreta-tion. Christians who read the Bible literallyand believe accordingly are opposed by secu-larists who object to the literal meaning ofthe Bible and maintain their disbelief ac-cordingly.

The charge, for example, that the film isanti-semitic is based on a fear that blame forthe crucifixion will be placed on Jews whosefirst-century priestocracy provides the vil-lain of the story. A more enlightened view,which sees the antagonist as a perenniallycorrupt power elite present in every genera-tion, gets lost in the argument, and weforget to notice the current incarnation ofthe ‘scribes and pharisees,’ appearing thistime around in entirely different guises—perhaps as college professors or intellectualspreaching new, more subtle, doctrines of in-tolerance.

Both camps attempt to apply an essen-tially materialistic standard to subjectmatter usually considered spiritual. Almostunheard in the tumult is a third point of

to address early controversies. The councilof Nicea, for instance, was gathered in A.D.325 by Constantine I, the newly convertedChristian emperor of Byzantium. At the topof the agenda was the so-called Arianheresy. The argument was over the divinityof Jesus—on one side the so-called gnostics,or Arians, and on the other, the Niceans.The gnostics sought direct personal knowl-edge of God (gnosis) and took very seriouslysuch statements by Jesus as “Know ye notthat ye are gods?” and “the kingdom ofheaven is within you.” The Niceans, on theother hand, saw Jesus as the absolutely es-sential mediator between God and man. Thegnostics were out-voted and their teachingswere thereafter forcibly removed fromchurch doctrine.

Some researchers, including Michael Bai-gent, Richard Leigh, and Henry Lincoln inThe Messianic Legacy have argued that thefourth-century gnostics inherited the mantleof the apostle James, brother of Jesus andleader of the first-century church. Few todayrealize that the church’s early years pro-duced many gospels and books purported tohave been authored by direct associates ofJesus (i.e. The Gospel of Thomas and TheGospel of Mary Magdalene, etc.). Most weredestroyed by the church’s ruling factionwhich wanted no interference with its de-signs. Some, however, have been recently re-discovered near Nag Hammadi, Egypt. Au-thor Elaine Pagels has included manyexcerpts in her best-seller The Gnostic Gos-pels.

The gnostic texts appear to fill in gaps ex-posed by discoveries in the 1950s of the so-called Dead Sea scrolls near Qumran in Pal-estine. Despite bitter resistance from or-thodox scholarship, many respected re-searchers believe those scrolls were createdby a sect known as the Essenes which likelyincluded Jesus and his followers among itsmembers. Many common elements betweenthe Dead Sea scrolls and his teachings areeasily recognized.

Norman Golb, author of Who Wrote theDead Sea Scrolls?, says that handwritinganalysis shows at least five hundred scribeswere involved. This suggests to reasonableminds the texts must have come from abroad movement spread across Palestine andJudaea, not just some tiny isolated sect. Thisview is supported by influential scholarRobert Eisenman.

Baigent and Leigh, in their book TheDead Sea Scroll Deception, draw on Ei-senman but go further contending that theQumranians and early Christians were notonly one and the same, but nationalist mili-tants trying to install their priest/king,Jesus, on the throne of Israel, and possiblyhis brother, James, after him. They cite, asdoes Matthew’s gospel, Jesus’ lineage fromKing David. He becomes, in their view,someone other than the traditional Jesus, aliteral king of the Jews, perhaps a freedomfighter against the Roman occupation. En-

sage to bestow eternal life has been stolenfrom Christianity by a corrupt elite. In anattempt to frustrate the natural aspirationsof ‘God’s children’ on Earth—namely to re-turn to their creator/parent—the true wineof an ancient wisdom tradition representedby Jesus has been returned to mere water byEarth’s powers and principalities.

Atlantis Rising has reported frequentlyon this esoteric or mystical brand of Chris-tianity. David Lewis discussed implicationsof the Dead Sea Scrolls and other so-calledapocryphal sources in issue #3. Later hewrote (in A.R. #5) about related intriguesbehind European history. In issue #27 au-thor Richard Russell Cassaro (The DeeperTruth, Uncovering the Missing History ofEgypt) examined connections betweenChristianity and ancient Egyptian religion.In several articles Jeff Nisbet has untangledthe esoteric threads of Christian and anti-Christian history, most recently in A Crackin the Da Vinci Code, (A.R. #45). These andother reports have sought to cast light intosome very obscure but crucial corners. Nowwith the subject made so dramaticallypublic, a brief review and restatement wouldseem to be in order.

Advocates for esoteric Christianity pointout that the Bible, as presently constituted,is the product of church councils convened

view which looks for meaning in more sym-bolic terms and along some of the less trav-eled byways of history. Often stereotyped as“new age,” its adherents can actually claim apedigree far older than that of most popularreligions, including Christianity and evenJudaism. Sometimes called the perennialwisdom, its general outlines are accepted byauthorities as diverse as Edgar Cayce orMary Baker Eddy, Paramahansa Yoganandaor Helena Petrovna Blavatsky.

olding official governmental posi-tions as Imperial counselors to theParthian Emperor, the Zoroas-trian priests known as Magi were

renowned for their expertise in religiousarts such as prophecy and astrology. Herod-otus attested to their astrological prowess.Like it or not, all we know about the Star ofBethlehem rests on what these peculiarstargazing ecclesiastics had to say about it,and perhaps more importantly, how they re-acted to it. They seem to have been the onlyones who witnessed this star at all. Contraryto popular imagination, it apparently didn’tstand out in the sky, and must not havebeen very impressive to look at. No one inJerusalem seems to have known anythingabout this star before the Magi brought it totheir attention, and when it was, the wholecity seems to have been caught off-guard bythe news:

After Jesus was born in Bethlehem inJudea, during the time of King Herod, Magifrom the East came to Jerusalem andasked, “Where is the one who has been bornking of the Jews? We saw his star in theEast and have come to worship him.” WhenKing Herod heard this he was disturbed,and all Jerusalem with him.

- Matthew 2:1-3This passage is all we have to go on. For-

tunately, it tells us quite a lot. It tells usthat the star didn’t attract the attention ofanyone but astrologers. When the Magi firstsaw it, it was rising in the East at sunset.Matthew reports that it was rising “en te an-atole,” a Greek phrase normally translated“in the East,” but which in fact refers to aspecific astronomical event: the acronychalEastern rising of a star, a relatively rare oc-currence when a star rises in the East justas the Sun is setting in the West. And thepassage tells us that this star seemed so im-portant to these priests that they decided tomake a long and difficult journey to look fora newborn baby, and when they found thisinfant, they intended to worship it like agod.

ANCIENT MYSTERIES

H� BY PETER NOVAK

Most theories about the Star of Beth-lehem don’t take any of this into account.The legend of this celestial event has grownto such proportions that most assume thestar must have been an awesome spectacle,even though the written record describes itas something most people never heardabout. Virtually all theories about the Starbegin by asking “what could have madesuch a striking star appear in the sky at thattime in history?” The proper question,“what could have made the Magi get so ex-cited over such an insignificant looking starin the sky?” virtually never gets asked. Also,no theory explains how the star could havebeen seen rising on one horizon as the Sunwas setting on the other (the Sun, Earth,and Star of Bethlehem being in a perfectlystraight line), nor why the Magi (and later,the author of the Gospel of Matthew as well)felt it was so important to pass along thiscurious detail. And of course, no theory at-tempts to explain why the Magi had such aunique reaction to this star, concludingfrom it that a baby had been born who de-served to be worshiped like a god.

Dateline India: September 16, 1 B.C.However, this is all exactly what would

have occurred if the Star of Bethlehem hadbeen the planet Uranus. There is an excel-lent chance that Magi living near India’sIndus River discovered the planet Uranusduring the New Moon of September 16, 1BC they seem certain to have been lookingin the right place at the right time, and ifthey did spot Uranus then, they could havereacted exactly as the Bible describes.

Numbers of Magi did live in India, andthey would have had particularly compellingreasons to monitor this New Moon. It wasan unusual lunation, a rare line-up byanyone’s standards: Sun, Moon, Jupiter andPluto were all tightly grouped together onone side of the sky, with Mars and Uranusclose together on the exact opposite side ofthe sky. In effect, Pluto, Jupiter, Sun, Earth,Moon, Mars, and Uranus were all lined up ina straight line from one side of the solarsystem to the other. Any New Moon thisclose to Jupiter (less than one degree away)

Its first three volumes plunge usinto the three years Spalding spentthrusting through the Himalayans with 12companions in search of some of the lastgreat unknown sacred places of India, Tibet,China and Iran. In simple, lucid, compellingprose, the books recount his encounterswith Masters and Elder Brothers, some cor-poreal, others immaterial, who assist in andguide the destiny of mankind. They tell ofstrange soaring temples glittering in deepchasms hidden between gleaming glaciershigh up on the Himalayan summits, and ofawesome talks with the spirit of Jesusduring which he reveals the secrets of hell,of heaven, of God and of the power ofthought vibrations. All along, Spalding andhis friends, clutching pre-Flood, gold-platedguidebooks found buried in the banks of theGanges, search for fabulous cities lost to

UNSUNG HEROES

� BY JOHN CHAMBERS mankind for millennia and, sometimes, theyfind them. And all these preternatural won-ders serve only as a backdrop to the wisdomof the East (often profoundly stated, andwhich Baird was one of the first to intro-duce to the West) that takes up the lastthree volumes in particular of Spalding’sLife and Teaching of the Masters of the FarEast.

Spalding had volume one of his workprivately printed in 1924. In 1935, it was re-published by fledgling DeVorss & Company.By the time Spalding died alone, in a motelroom in Tempe, Arizona, on March 18, 1953Douglas DeVorss, the company’s founder,was able to claim that the first five volumeshad sold 1,000,000 copies in English alone.In 1997 when a sixth volume was stitchedtogether from ten newly discovered boxes ofSpalding’s correspondence and notes, De-Vorss & Company estimated that total saleshad climbed to almost 1,800,000. Over thepast decade, present-day DeVorss PresidentGary Peattie told Atlantis Rising, that200,000 copies of the books have been sold,which means that as well as being translatedinto 12 languages the six volumes of BairdT. Spalding’s masterwork have sold over2,000,000 copies.

But, for all his real ability to engage, toenlighten, and to sell books, Spalding liveda life of enormous mystery. Only the powerof his words and often the force of his enig-matic, beguiling personality could serve topersuade his admirers that he had done andseen the things he said he had done andseen. The facts offered by Spalding about hislife stretched credulity almost to thebreaking point. He claimed to have beenborn in 1857, to have traveled through theHimalayas from 1884 to 1886, and to haveco-invented, with the celebrated engineerCharles Steinmetz, a Camera of Past Eventswith which he succeeded in photographingChrist giving the Sermon on the Mount andall this for starters. But, at the time of hisdeath when by Spalding’s own account hewould have been almost 96, the dates on thetwo driver’s licenses found on his person inthe motel room where he died gave mutetestimony that he was only 49. Spalding hadclaimed he held extensive mining and fo-restry interests and vast properties allaround the world, including in LatinAmerica, India and the U.S.S.R. Yet, at thetime of his death, the administrator of hisestate, David Bruton (soon also to be his bi-ographer) found that Spalding possessed

confirmed an inner conviction each onefeels about his ability to attain spiritual un-derstanding, and that the books had rescued[people] from being classified as sinnersliving in a veil of tears. In fact, assertedBruton, Baird Spalding’s books, whetherthey were garbled on not, had ushered inthe New Age of Light.

Moreover, Bruton, researching further,seems to have discovered the real,not literal (but equally powerful)

sources behind Spalding’s inspira-tion—sources that, however awk-

wardly labeled by David Bruton,can only serve to show us how

limited and distorted by precon-ceptions are our perceptions of

the manifold ways in which realitycan express itself.

Bruton called Baird Spalding’sown account of his life fabulous

and fantastic.Spalding claimed to

have been born inKohocton, New

York, in 1857, tohave been taken toIndia when he was

four, to have gradu-ated from an Indian

university at 17,and to have gone to

California for twoyears and then to

Germany where he

studied at the University of Heidelberg foreight years, finally returning to California topursue post-graduate studies in archaeologyat Berkeley and Stanford.

Spalding said he was member of a familythat had lived and worked in India and theGobi Desert for over 300 years. He claimedhis great-grandfather had stumbled across abook of gold that had been flushed out of itsancient hiding place by a flood on the RiverGanges. The book had given the location ofother books of gold and provided a concisehistory of a vanished civilization that hadflourished in the Gobi Desert millennia be-fore. The great-grandfather had created theSpalding Foundation and gone in search ofthe remains of the vanished civilization. Ithad taken, Baird T. Spalding said, 19 yearsfor the foundation engineers to find the lo-cation of this lost city of the Gobi Desert,but, once they had found it, they struck theruins when they sank their first shaft. It wasin search of this fabled, now rediscovered,city, that Spalding and his 12 companionshad set out in 1884. They had found it andother books of gold, and other long-lostcities. From the practical experience ofthese expeditions, and the wisdom garneredfrom his encounters with the Masters,Spalding had fashioned the contents of thesix volumes of his Life and Teaching of theMasters of the Far East.

Such, at any rate, were the main ele-

only $15.98 in change, $110.74 in achecking account, a leased 1947 half-tonpickup truck, some mining prospector’sgear with a month’s provisions and, mostastonishing of all, scores of aggrieved credi-tors who were soon knocking on Bruton’sdoor and complaining loudly to the estateadministrator that Spalding had bilked themwith confidence schemes that would havedone credit to the conniving he-roes of Mel Brooks’s The Pro-ducers.

David Bruton probably knewSpalding as well as anybody. And,in researching Baird T. Spaldingas I Knew Him, published oneyear after Spalding’s death (andreprinted by DeVorss in 1980), hecame across much more thanwhat would have made it easy tolabel a man of lesser accomplish-ment than Baird T.Spalding a fraud.Bruton concludedthat Spalding was fi-nally not a fraud atall. This careful bi-ographer decidedthat Baird Spaldinghad fulfilled a greatdestiny in a fabulousway. Bruton con-cluded that some-thing in the au-thor’s words had

s recently as the Middle Ages Galileowas imprisoned for advancing Co-pernicus’s view that Earth circledthe Sun, not the other way round.

Then along came Uranus, Neptune andPluto, further upsetting the apple cart.Today, most people probably still think ofthe solar system as the Sun and nine planetswhich orbit our star. But that picture ischanging dramatically as technology revealsother members of the Sun’s extendedfamily.

In March astronomers announced thediscovery of a planet-like body in the farreaches of our solar system, three times far-ther from Earth than Pluto. Officiallydubbed 2003 VB12, the object was discov-ered in November 2003 at Caltech’s PalomarObservatory as part of a three-year project toexplore the solar system. The team who dis-covered this planetoid named her Sedna,after the Inuit goddess who lives at thebottom of the frigid, Arctic ocean.

ASTROLOGY

� BY JULIE GILLENTINE remote orbiting body revealed in our solarsystem since Pluto’s discovery in 1930. Thered-colored newcomer is three-fourths thesize of Pluto, and travels in an enormous,narrow ellipse. The orbit is unlike anythingastronomers have seen and lasts a whopping12,000 plus years. Sedna is currently ap-proaching its closest orbital position to theSun, getting closer and brighter over thenext seventy-two years, before turning backtoward the far reaches of the Sun’s domain.The last time Sedna came this close Earthwas coming out of an ice age. It’s intriguingto contemplate what our home planet mightbe like twelve thousand years from nowwhen she makes a return engagement.

Oort Cloud, Aura of a StarBeyond Neptune is the Kuiper Belt (pro-

nounced like viper), an icy asteroid beltnamed for the astronomer who predicted itsexistence. Evidence strongly suggests thatthe Kuiper Belt has a fairly sharp edge, ter-minating at 50 AU (Astronomical Units). Be-yond this is an immense, hypothetical,spherical cloud of rocky and icy debriscalled the Oort cloud (named after astron-omer Jan Oort), which surrounds our solarsystem. The diameter of the icy spherewhich defines the physical, gravitational anddynamic orb of influence of the Sun is threelight years, or thirteen billion kilometers

(eight billion miles). This cloud is the birth-place of proto comets which loosely orbitthe Sun at a distance nearly halfway to theclosest star. Scientists believe that the Oortcloud may contain more total mass than theKuiper Belt and Asteroid Belt combined.

Although located ten times closer thanexpected, astronomers believe Sedna is con-firmation of the reality of the Oort cloud, re-vealing that this giant cloud extends muchfarther into the solar system than previouslybelieved. According to the team at Caltechwho discovered her, Sedna is a new class ofobject. She does not reside in the KuiperBelt (where Pluto and Quaoar live), but cy-cles through what is now called the “innerOort cloud.” Sedna’s discovery has also shedlight on the origin of our solar system. Cal-tech team leader, Dr. Michael Brown, specu-lated that this “inner Oort cloud might havebeen formed billions of years ago when arogue star passed by the Sun, nudging someof the comet-like bodies inward.”

Planet or Planetoid?Our word for planet comes from the

Greek, “planates,” meaning “wanderer” andwas meant to distinguish the moving stars(planets) from what seemed to be “fixedstars.” Strangely enough, that seemed self-evident until now, but life in the solarsystem is becoming more complex. Sedna’s

discovery has reignited a heated debate overwhat constitutes a planet, and suddenly, de-fining the nature of a planet has become astricky as describing the nature of the godsthey represent. Burgeoning discoveries ofplanets orbiting other stars, as well as plane-toids and comets which keep popping up inour solar system, have created a classifica-tion dilemma. The International Astronom-ical Union (IAU) now has a committee dedi-cated to defining a planet.

Planet-like bodies are being discoveredalmost routinely in orbit around other stars.

planet.” Planets are round, but asteroids andcomets are rocky and irregular. Planets havestable orbits, while planetoids may move atangles to the ecliptic and travel in odd, ellip-tical orbits around the Sun. One way to de-fine a planet is a body in the solar systemthat is more massive than the total mass ofall other bodies in a similar orbit. Techni-cally Pluto is not a planet, just the largestbody in the Kuiper Belt, but astronomersexpect it’s just a matter of time until a KBO(Kuiper Belt Object) larger than Pluto is dis-covered. What then?

Sedna’s MythScholars and researchers have suggested

that myth serves a profound purpose notlimited to simple story telling. Myth trans-mits knowledge beyond dogma as well asconveying difficult concepts through arche-typal characters and principles. Those wholive in closer harmony with the cycles ofplanting and harvest have myths to honorthe forces of nature and often perform cere-monies to keep the scales in balance.

As is typical with myths, versions ofSedna’s story differ. Sedna was a beautifulyoung Inuit (Eskimo) girl who scorned allhuman suitors. Instead, she flew off with asea bird (sometimes raven). Her marriagewas not happy and ultimately her fathercame to rescue her. She tried to escape inher father’s boat, but her husband caused a

Pluto’s hold on planetary status hasagain become tenuous. Dr. Brown assertsthat “if we discovered Pluto today, knowingwhat we know about other objects in theKuiper Belt, we wouldn’t even consider it a

hat is thesense andsignifi-cance of

life on Earth and human lifein particular?” was the ques-tion posed by G. I. Gurdjieff.While we’ve all probablyasked similar questions atsome point in our lives,Gurdjieff set out with greatdetermination to find an-swers that the religion andscience of his day could notprovide. A new video seriestakes a closer look at his life.

“The Life and Signifi-cance of George IvanovitchGurdjieff” is a three-part setbased on the William PatrickPatterson’s (WPP) Struggleof the Magicians.

One of the 20th century’smost enigmatic and influen-tial spiritual teachers, Gurd-jieff has been an object ofgreat mystery and specula-tion for many years. With thecombination of Patterson’sexcellent narration, musiccompositions by Gurdjieffand Thomas De Hartman,and on-location footage ofEgypt, St. Petersburg,Moscow, Constantinople,London, Paris, New York, thePrieure, Lascaux, Cannes,Monte Carlo, et al, this trilogy does its bestto lift the veil.

Gurdjieff’s search took him on many dif-ficult travels from Central Asia to the MiddleEast to the Far East and as far as the So-loman Islands. But one of the most signifi-cant journeys was to the isolated ruins ofAni in Armenia, for it was there that his ex-cavation of an underground monastic cellproduced an ancient parchment—a letterbetween two monks that mentioned a secretbrotherhood, the Sarmoung. “The Sar-moung,” stated the letter, “was founded inBabylon in 2500 B.C. and possessed greatesoteric knowledge.” It also added that theSarmoung had migrated from Babylon tothe Iztuman Valley (about 250 miles north).As this was just what he was seeking, he andhis friends headed north.

Along the way Gurdjieff encountered an

I was seized with violent trem-bling...!” Though he never said what he saw,it told him that the ancient knowledge thathe sought was not in the Sarmoung Broth-erhood, not in the Babylon of 2500 B.C., butmuch earlier—in Egypt; thus followed “Themost influential journey.”

to stay in life, accept it as it is, and learns toprocess the impressions, the negativity, thesuffering, the uncertainty, the illusion, aswell as the joy, goodness and pleasures, thatcome to real life. There are three ways forthe spiritual to engage the material: one isthe way of the body, two is the way of theheart (the monk), and three is the way ofthe mind (the yogi). Gurdjieff’s FourthWay—a way of life—is a way of under-standing and conscience that works simul-taneously on all three centers—intellectual,emotional, instinctual—to unite the higherand lower natures of man so they can evolvetogether. He spoke of the mechanicality ofman, the sleepwalk through life, the neces-sity to awaken.

Becauseeven then, in 1895, they thought they hadthe answers...2500 B.C., etc.” After referringto the research of Robert Schoch and JohnAnthony West regarding rainwater’s erodingof the sphinx WPP says, “It seems, now, thatit was the sphinx that he saw on the map.”WPP travels on to ancient Thebes, modernLuxor, the Temple of Man (with referencesto Schwaller de Lubitz, of course), Karnak,Valley of the Kings, Edfu (where Pattersonsuggests there’s a possible correspondencebetween what Gurdjieff writes of Atlantisand the building texts of Edfu), and the Nile.Even though we may have watched otherquality videos of Egypt (the Magical Egyptset of six with John Anthony West comes tomind), this is one more “take” that’s worthyof our time.

We’re next guided to Abyssinia, modernEthiopia, where he found Christianity—notcontemporary Christianity, but the Chris-tianity before Christ. Gurdjieff found an eso-teric school of Christianity that taught self-transformation, a sacred science, the secretpart of Christianity. Says WPP, “The exo-teric side is always subject to distortion anddeviation. The esoteric part, if practiced, canrectify those distortions and deviations. Andthis is what the Fourth Way brings to theWest.” According to Gurdjieff, “After the de-struction of Atlantis, the surviving membersof an esoteric society migrated to Abyssina...

The Christian church, the Christian form ofworship, was not invented by the fathers ofthe Church. It was all taken in a ready-madeform from Egypt, only not from the Egyptthat we know, but from one which we donot know. This Egypt was in the same placeas the other, but it existed much earlier. Itwill seem strange to many people when I saythat this prehistoric Egypt was Christianmany thousands of years before the birth ofChrist, that is to say, that its religion wascomposed of the same principles and ideasthat constitute true Christianity.”

Realizing that certain elements of theteaching were missing, and that those ele-ments had migrated northward, Gurdjieffreturned to Central Asia and, finally, to theSarmoung. He went on to reassemble theteaching, reformulated it for modern timesand brought it to the West.

PART 2 - Gurdjieff’s MissionPart Two: The introduction of the

teaching to the West is summarized in thissegment. It begins with the Russian Revolu-tion and ends with reference to 9/11. In be-tween are covered the years of struggle andsacrifice to bring the Fourth Way to theWest. On September 14, 1911, Gurdjiefftook a vow to awaken people to a new levelof being, of consciousness, of conscience—to a new type of man—The Fourth Way.Also covered is the relationship between

Gurdjieff and P.D. Ouspensky. In followinghis efforts to establish the Institute for theHarmonious Development of Man, WPP

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

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

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

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

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

FROM STARDUST TO THE STARGATE Sir Laurence Gardner at the “Signs of

Destiny II: Crop Circles and Earth MysteriesConference”—2003

This is the first of two lecture presenta-tions by Gardner at the conference. Here hetalks of monotomic gold, white powdergold, gold reduced down to a single atom—a superconductor, anti-gravity substance,in our terminology the ancients used“priestly levitation” and “godly communica-tion.” These gold and platinum group ele-ments, he says, will be the answer to cleanenergy provision and cancer treatment—and possibly the most remarkable propertyin the universe!

In “Genesis of the Grail Kings,” Gardnerintroduced the subject of monotomic ele-ments and the subject of some unique ar-chaeology that went on in the Sinai 100years ago. He covered this in more detail in“Lost Secrets of the Sacred Ark,” perreaders’ requests. He states that “A moun-tain—way, way south—was generallyshown on the maps as Mt. Sinai. However,that was actually named by a group ofChristian Greek missionaries in the fourthcentury; it really had nothing to do with thebiblical Mt. Sinai of the Old Testament.”

The Sinai story is presented in thisvideo—about an Egyptian temple found onthe wrong side of the Red Sea on Mt. Sinai,containing tons of white powder, a templethat seemed more like a workshop—benches, odd recessed tables, furnaces (inthe book of Exodus, it talks about furnaceson the mountain and smoke and noise), re-ceptacles, tanks, metallurgists’ crucibles,and magic wands—and, after listening toGardner’s derivation of the word “worship,”you might be convinced that it was justthat, a workshop. He tells us that it was in

takes the viewer to St. Petersburg, Moscow,Constantinople, London, Paris, and thePrieure, where it was finally accomplished.Then, finally to America. There are timelycomments as the video ends.

PART 3 - Gurdjieff’s LegacyThe last video begins with Gurdjieff’s car

crash in 1924. Upon awakening from a five-day coma he said, “It was no accident—thiswas a superficial understanding. In reality,the car crash was the last chord of the man-ifestation toward me of that something usu-ally accumulating in the common life ofpeople, which was first noticed by the greatking, Soloman, King of Judea, and wascalled Tzvarnoharno. It forms itself by anatural process in the communal life ofpeople leading to the destruction of bothhim that tries to achieve something for gen-eral human welfare and of all that he has al-ready accomplished to this end.” The fol-lowing August he closed the institute. Fourmonths later (Dec.), he started his lego-monism—a means by which high initiatestransmit esoteric knowledge, a special kindof food, down through time in a form that isessentially undistorted. This video offersmore detail of his struggle, the war years,relationships with students, and ends withhis death in 1949.

One doesn’t have to agree with, noreven desire to know, Gurdjieff’s teachings inorder to enjoy this Trilogy and to appreciateits having received one of the film world’smost prestigious accolades, the Gold Awardfor Biography at the Worldfest InternationalFilm Festival.

There are a few moments in the noisybackground scenes of the marketplacewhere the voice-over might be compro-mised, but the ambiance is integral to thepresentation.

The music by Gurdjieff and De Hart-mann are at times appropriately “jarring”(befitting someone who purposely “jarred”his students into wakefulness).

Gurdjieff saw that mankind had toomuch power and too little conscience; herewe are a century later, where Gurdjieff pre-dicted. The Eastern world would again riseto a position of global importance and be-come a threat to the West, now led byAmerica, a country, that was very strong,but also very young. “Just as there are twosides to a person, there are two sides to theEarth,” he said. To avoid a complete dis-aster, it was necessary to achieve world har-mony as soon as possible. It could not beachieved by politics, philosophy, religion orany organized movement that treated manin the mass. It could only be accomplishedthrough the individual development ofman, each being responsible for his ownworld and thus the larger world.

the 700s in England when the word lostthe middle “k.” He points out that tem-ples are different than churches; theyare not just grander churches.Churches were where the people vener-ated the gods; temples were where theyworked for the gods, and that was thedifference. And this temple, he informsus, had more going for it in terms of itshieroglyphs and inscriptions. “Therewere no end of depictions thereshowing pharaohs being presentedwith, or presenting the gods with, this“white bread,” he says. The temple, perthe inscription, is called the “House ofGold.”

After pointing out that we nowknow that gold can be turned into apowder and mixed with water, Gardnerexplains that it was fed to kings andpriests to give them powers of percep-tion and intuition, all those thingsknown to make a good leader and it alsomoved them into the realm/dimensionof the “gods.” This, he believes, mightbe where the halo concept came from, asheads would start to glow upon obtainingenlightenment.

Gardner goes on to tell us how thiswhite powder gold was rediscovered in Ari-zona in 1976—an amazing story with aston-ishing results. He explains why it took sci-ence a long time to recognize that it couldexist and the more that they worked with it,the more they discovered that this was oneof the most exciting, elemental discoveriesever made.

LOST SECRETS OF THE SACRED ARKSir Laurence Gardner at the “Signs of

Destiny II: Crop Circles and Earth MysteriesConference”—2003

Here Gardner gives more information onthe Templars, then continues with furtherdetails on monotomic gold. Now at the fore-front of just about everything that’s hap-pening in the scientific world, says Gardner,are nano-clusters, micro-clusters, and mon-otomic elements that have magical proper-ties based on a powder made from gold, justas Moses made on Mt. Sinai. It’s just amatter of burning it, what with, for howlong, at which temperatures, and whichchemicals to, maybe, use in the process.

“You can’t separate the sciences, youcan’t separate anything, really,” statesGardner.

He tells of the latest research with nanotechnology—nano is based on a nanometer,which is a billionth of a centimeter. Whatmakes it possible to build things on thesenano scales? Monotomic elements—that at-tract, store energy that communicate with

each other through light waves that are anti-gravitational that would even move in par-allel dimensions of space-time. His discus-sion of folding space makes me wonder if the“Element 115” mentioned in John Kettler’sarticle in Issue #45 of A.R. might be related.

According to Gardner we have the way tonot only cure diseases, but to prevent our-selves from getting them, and a way to makeeverything we do in life a little bit easier.The world of science just needs to take thenext steps and to move us into the mono-tomic world properly—but in doing that, thedrug industry collapses. Gardner says, “I stillbelieve the people buying up these materialsto become the suppliers for the new tech-nology are today’s oil and drug companiesand that’s OK, I can live with that because ifthey don’t do it, those economies will col-lapse and if that happens, the world goesbankrupt. So the governments have to allowthem to come in and become the new mas-ters gradually and to become the new sourcesuppliers.”

There is much more fascinating materialon these videos. Gardner’s research is clearlyand impressively presented. There is a littlebit of overlap between videos, but there’senough new information on each to justifyobtaining both.

There were a couple of minor “glitches”:a brief editing error that changes nothing,really, and a very slight sound fluctuation,hardly worth mentioning, as the soundquality overall is excellent.

Being a live conference, there were acouple of “problems” with the remote con-trol, which were handled with humor byGardner.

Buckminster Fulleronce commented that

99% of “who we are” is invisible.The part of us that thinks, feels,creates, laughs, cries anddreams cannot be seen. Yetmost people are programmedfrom birth to believe that “theyare” the visible 1%.

I was extremely moved by a22-year-old Venezuelan girl whoappeared on Oprah recently.Three years ago, at age 19 shewas a beautiful young womanstudying in the United States.Now she is burned beyond rec-ognition, the results of a run inwith a drunk driver. What’s leftof her face looks like it’s melted.She has tiny slits for eyes, hernose is gone, she has stubs forhands and the rest of her body isthoroughly disfigured.

I watched as she met andcomforted the mother of theteenage driver who hit her. Asincere person by nature, shesaid that she forgave her nowimprisoned assailant because itwasn’t his intention to hurt herand she couldn’t live in a stateof anger.

As I looked past her form, Irealized how useless and de-structive it is to form opinionsabout ‘anyone’ (including our-selves) based on appearances.Although traumatized, JaquiSaburido is exactly the samebeautiful woman she’s alwaysbeen. The only thing that’schanged...is her 1%.

regenerating yourbody by using your

mind and life energy.Slate is a licenced

Through his laboratoryresearch on the human

Slate claims thesetechniques will reverse

the effects of negativestress, energize biolog-ical systems, influencebrain activity and pro-

Slate’s research sup-ports this. He has

found that the agingprocess is “neither ab-solute nor immutable”

and it is very respon-sive to our deliberate

intervention.A wealth of information for a small price,

“REJUVENATION, Strategies for LivingYounger, Longer and Better” by Joe H.Slate, offers a wide variety of techniques forself renewal. You’re bound to find some-thing here that works for you.

cause they were too young when the storyfirst appeared.

The entire LENR research communityand interested supporters of that research,not just the heroic participants who solic-ited the review at DOE, deserve broad praisefor helping to bring about this fantasticallywelcome change of heart. It is step one inour collective vindication.After putting out thenews about the DOE re-versal over e-mail, I havebeen impressed withmany kind messages thathave poured in from sub-scribers, acquaintances,and friends, who imaginethat with the DOE turn-around, vindication hasalready arrived, which ithasn’t. That external vin-dication can only be saidto have come when thereis broad-based recogni-tion of the proven realityof the newly discoveredphenomena by the scien-tific community, by edu-cators, by the press, andeven by that quirky ba-rometer of popular cul-ture, the entertainmentindustry. Above all, vindication will have ar-rived in force when the everyday assump-tions shared by people everywhere arechanged, when they can confidently lookforward to a day—one hopes not far off—when New Energy, in whatever form, willbecome a practical utility in their lives.

Of course, scientific vindication camelong ago, simply from the preponderance ofreplicated results, which proved that LENRphenomena were not an illusory class of ob-servations.

Let me share with you some of the goodtidings that we have received in recentweeks, which I take as having been dis-patched not just to me personally—thoughthat’s how they were addressed—or to Infi-nite Energy, but to the entire LENR com-munity:

“What great news! Here I was beginningto think that physics would make no furtherprogress until nature took its inevitablecourse, and the current generation of nay-sayers went to their just rewards for theiroutstanding contributions to hu-manity...Keep up your relentless work, andbest of luck on the current reversal of for-tune.” Steve R. O’Donnell.

“The impending review is very goodnews indeed. I remember that when you vis-ited Philadelphia, and we were chatting atthe airport waiting for your plane to depart,that I asked you what you sought: in oneword, it was Vindication. I have always, and

still do, wish you well, and view your longstruggle with respect and understanding. Sonow here are my continued and renewedgood wishes that vindication shall be yours,along with all the others who have kept thefaith all these years.” Mike Carrell

“So, we only wasted 15 years? I guessbetter late than never.” Camille Grosdidier,VOA French

“Thanks Gene ...keep chugging...thistrain is seeing light I think ...” VinceGolubic

“Thank you for sharing this! It certainly

sounds encouraging and hopeful. You knowyour time will come; this is all just a hugetest of your patience!” Lisa Zakar

“C’est marvelliuex! I have forwardedyour e-mail around! Momentum rolls along.Keep working on this vital project.” PamelaMunro.

One of my greatest pleasures in recentweeks was to be quoted, again, in a NewYork Times article. Bill Broad had quotedme in 1991 and again in 1999. The presentarticle announced the DOE turnaround(March 25, 2004, by Kenneth Chang, p.A16): “I am absolutely delighted that theD.O.E. Is finally going to do the rightthing,” Dr. Eugene F. Mallove, editor of Infi-nite Energy magazine said. “There can beno other conclusion than a major newwindow has opened on physics.” It was verypleasing to be able to voice my opinion inthe newspaper of record. A surprising andwelcome outcome of that citation: an execu-tive with an oil-investment firm contactedNew Energy Foundation and gave an imme-diate, generous contribution. He wrote,“Didn’t know you (meaning cold fusion)were still around. Sorry for not being adonor sooner. You can count on my supportmonthly.” Now if that isn’t a sign of some-thing like a Great Turnaround, I don’t knowwhat is.

Even old Bob Park of the American Phys-ical Society seemed to sense, grudgingly,that something Very Big was beginning to

happen. He mentioned cold fusion vindica-tion as the lead item in his What’s New in-ternet column of April 2, even though noone that I know from LENR was publiclyusing that term:

“COLD FUSION: TRUE BELIEVERS SEEDOE REVIEW AS VINDICATION.

There hasn’t been much to celebrate inthe 15 years since the University of Utahheld a press conference in Salt Lake City toannounce the discovery of cold fusion. Al-though a brave little band of true believerscontinued to trumpet cold fusion, the band

leader was publishing In-finite Energy Magazine.That made it pretty hard

to take this stuff seri-ously. Although there

was no press release orannouncement, DOE hasapparently agreed to takea second look.”

Sometimes even aninsult can be an honor,

when it comes from suchan eternally misguided

person. Poor Bob wasprobably most upset that

the New York Timesquoted this band leader

and an out-to-lunch hotfusion physicist, and not

him.Other thoughts swirl

like a hurricane aroundthis still incomplete but

emerging vindication.Why does it have to take so long? Why didthis new science have to be so brutally victi-mized, and its researchers put through suchprolonged abuse, just because they hap-pened to make truly novel scientific find-ings? How many more months or years willthe torment last? Will enough resources ma-terialize in the near term so that work canreally accelerate with or without DOE-provided funding? Furthermore, when willthe LENR field itself realize that its findingsare really part of a much larger problem thatburdens modern physics: serious unrecog-nized foundational errors in its theories,which may make these theories unsuitableto provide a complete understanding of theLENR enigmas?

What will happen to Tokamak hot fu-sion? Will DOE really be forced to see thelight and get rid of that preposterous whiteelephant? Will the initial shock troopsagainst cold fusion from MIT, Cal Tech, andelsewhere be exposed for their misdeeds?How will the pathological skeptics attemptto rewrite the history of the past fifteenyears to suit their malign purposes? Thecoming months will be very interestingtimes, that is for sure. Let’s hope for somesatisfying answers to these many questions.For now, let’s just relax and try to thinkpleasant thoughts about the coming NewEnergy Age. It may be a bit closer than wehad thought a few months ago.

That firm later merged with one calledRocketdyne in 1984, and was itself boughtby Boeing in 1996. The locals call it Rocket-dyne, though, and so shall we. Besides, itneatly encapsulates the other iconic tech-nology of the ’50s—rockets and missiles.And yes, they went mainstream, too. For ex-ample, the Oldsmobile Rocket 88.

Reactors—A ShortCourse

In order to understandwhat happened there in1959, it is first necessary totake a crash course in nu-clear reactor design. At asimplistic level, a nuclearreactor consists of: a fissilepower source (e.g., Ura-nium 235), the core, usedto generate heat, controlrods to regulate how muchfission occurs, thus howmuch heat is generated, a“hot loop” in which a me-dium, such as pressurizedwater or liquid metal, is cir-culated over the core tocapture that heat, a “coldloop” into which that heat

is exchanged without passing on the radio-active contaminants (a separate, discretesystem) used to generate steam, which inturn drives a steam turbine to turn a gener-ator, producing electrical power.

Of the two types listed, the pressurizedwater type is the easier to engineer but isless efficient, while the liquid metal type isfar more challenging to engineer, but be-cause it holds heat much better than doespressurized water, yields a considerablymore powerful reactor. One such liquidmetal used was sodium, which those of you

who took high school chemistry may recallis extremely reactive and dangerous. Howdangerous? According to the previouslymentioned U.S. Nuclear Accident site,“1954—An experimental sodium-cooled re-actor utilized aboard the USS Seawolf, theU.S.’s second nuclear submarine, was scut-tled in 9,000 feet of water off the Delaware/Maryland coast. The reactor was plagued bypersistent leaks in its steam system (causedby the corrosive nature of the sodium) andwas later replaced with a more conventionalmodel. The reactor is estimated to have con-

tained 33,000 curies of radi-oactivity and is likely thelargest single radioactive

object ever dumped deliber-ately into the ocean. Subse-

quent attempts to locatethe reactor proved to be fu-

tile.”The upshot? The U.S.

Navy’s nuclear propulsionprogram, at the direct insis-

tence of its founder andguiding light Hyman Rick-

over, abandoned liquidmetal reactors, deemingthem fundamentally un-

safe. Bear in mind that theSeawolf reactor was scut-tled four years before theaccident which forms the

subject of this article. Fiveyears! And what’s the con-

nection between the two? Sodium-cooledreactors!

Quoting the government’s “Environ-mental Assessment for Cleanup and Closureof the Energy Technology EngineeringCenter,” we find the following: “Activities inArea IV started in the mid-1950s until 1964;these activities were primarily related to so-dium-cooled nuclear power plant develop-ment and the development of space powersystems with sodium and potassium as cool-ants.” This document is the official sitecleanup plan for the old Rocketdyne facilityin the Simi Hills.

So, the sodium-cooled reactor tech-nology was scrapped by the Navy, but on dryland, the work continued—until somethingwent badly wrong in 1959. Fortunately,when it did, the affected area was notheavily populated, but that would changeover time. Radioactive and other contami-nants would remain behind in the soil andwater, and would be added to by a subse-quent nuclear accident in 1964 and nu-merous toxic and carcinogenic discharges.

Nuclear PowerWhat You Don’t Know Can Kill You

Conventional wisdom has it that no onedied as a result of Three Mile Island. Readerswho subscribe to this unfortunate notionare referred to the link below, which is a No-

vember 1992 inter-view with Dr. Er-nest J. Sternglass,Emeritus Professorof RadiologicalPhysics, Depart-ment of Radiology,University of Pitts-burgh School ofMedicine. Formerlyan employee fordecades of Westing-house, one of thetop nuclear reactorfirms in the world,he migrated into ac-ademia and gradu-ally became awareof what he didn’tknow about the haz-ards of nuclearpower. In the inter-view he not onlycomprehensively re-futes the conven-tional wisdom about the safety of nuclearpower, but shows that the government hasbeen aware, since the 1940s, of the devas-tating impact of even low level radiation onnot just human life, but all life. He cites ex-ample after example from the U.S. andRussia to show the extraordinary measuresgovernments have gone to, to keep thepublic ignorant. His own research indicatesthat, at a minimum, Three Mile Island was

rocket24feb24,1,3559634.story) Among other things, in a suit involving

not only radiation exposure but also a veri-table soup of hazardous materials andknown carcinogens, we learn that the re-actor meltdown took place in July 1959 andthat it “released 15 to 260 times moredeadly radiation” than was released at ThreeMile Island, Pennsylvania in 1979. Considerthe implications of such a huge release inlight of either the Dr. Sternglass interviewor of his landmark book, Secret Fallout. Thetwo nuclear experts serving as expert wit-nesses and radiological exposure investiga-tors for the Santa Barbara, California lawfirm of Capello & Noel, which is handlingthe class-action lawsuit on behalf of morethan 120 plaintiffs minced no words, andtheir credentials are impressive.

Arjun Makhijani, a nuclear engineer andpresident of the Institute for Energy andEnvironmental Research in Takoma Park,Md., and Bernd Franke, an expert on nu-clear contamination and scientific directorof the institute in Heidelberg, Germany,made the conclusions.

“At the time of the meltdown and fordecades to follow, defendants successfullycovered up the seriousness of the disasterand the impact it had on the residents of thetwo neighboring valleys,” the declarationstates. “Only now, during plaintiffs ‘experts’analysis of the incident, has the truth cometo light.”

One woman who’s led the charge foryears to bring accountability and to enforcea proper cleanup of this lethal mess is Made-line Felkins, who lost her husband as a con-sequence of a massive spill of perchlorate(rocket fuel) contaminated water at Rocket-dyne. He died of a terrible wasting diseaseover a period of years. Her home page andlinks will provide a real education to thosewith the interest (and the stomach) to ex-plore them.

Nor should we uncritically accept herclaims. According to “Rocketdyne’s RedGlare,” by Michael Collins in LA Weekly, De-cember 11-17, 1998, though, she has excel-lent grounds for concern:

“The question arose in a 1996 safety re-view, when company officials proposedleaving ground residue of plutonium 239,which has a half life of 24,400 years, atlevels more than 13 times higher thannormal EPA standards for preliminary re-mediation goals. For the poisonous radioac-tive isotope cobalt 60, Rocketdyne’s remedi-ation levels are 450 times higher than theEPA’s guidelines—1.96 picocuries per gram,instead of the required .0043.”

He goes on to note, EPA official TomKelly’s statements denying it notwith-standing, that this obscene proposal was ac-cepted. “But the minutes of an October 26,1997, Santa Susana cleanup meeting indi-cate that the EPA did grant approval of therelaxed remediation standards.” A boon forRocketdyne to be sure, but what about thepeople who live in the area?

We wouldn’t know about the 1959 dis-

aster at all had not a UCLA (University ofCalifornia Los Angeles) student, workingwith antinuclear activist Dan Hirsch, foundan obscure reference to it in 1979 while re-searching a term paper. It took ten years be-fore Los Angeles, California CBS affiliateKCBS covered the story, and its successorstation revisited the matter on March 3,2004 in Drew Griffin’s “Rocketdyne Follow-Up.”

There simply isn’t space here to delveinto all the sordid details concerning thehistory of the site to explore the deaths,blighted lives, prior lawsuits covering hun-dreds of thousands chemically contami-nated, fines running into the millions, etc.,as company after company did things thesame way, often shielded by the same gov-ernment whose labs it ran, whose experi-ments it performed, and whose technologyit developed and tested. The patternthroughout, though, has been consistent, aschecking the linked articles will easily con-firm. The firms and the government deny,suppress, lie about, minimize or spin thefacts in order to keep the public ignorant,protect their vested interests, and to avoid,to the greatest extent possible, taking re-sponsibility for their epic, generation-plaguing mess and dealing with the conse-quences.

UFO ConnectionsSwiss psychologist Carl Jung once attrib-

uted the flying saucer phenomenon to a so-ciety-wide psychological stress reactionfrom living every day in fear of the Bombduring the Cold War. As if everything de-tailed above weren’t enough to contendwith, this story also has a UFO angle, in theform of repeated sightings in the area we’rediscussing. This may not be an accident,given a track record of UFO interest in mat-ters atomic dating back to the World War IIManhattan Project in Los Alamos, NewMexico (the famous “green fireballs” whichso vexed physicist Luis Alvarez) and contin-uing since. Even a brief visit to LarryBryant’s Clear Intent will make this glar-ingly obvious, as will a cursory online searchusing something like “UFOs AND nuclearweapons” as the search terms. Here’s one,which addresses not only a UFO sighting buta black program angle as well.

“UFO Sighting in the Simi Valley” July16, 2001 (http://www.mysticaluniverse.com/ufonews2/ufonews4/ufonews4.html).

Kevin Roderick’s book, America’sSuburb: The San Fernando Valley (http://www.americassuburb.com/lore.html) quotedat the beginning of this article included apertinent UFO report. “UFO watchers wereespecially intrigued by claims in 1996 that ahuge burning ball descended from the skynear Rocketdyne’s rocket testing lab in theSanta Susana Mountains. One monitorclaimed to have driven to the site only to beturned back by armed guards who confidedthat something indeed had landed, then haddeparted...”

Akivi, restored in 1960, whose seven moai(representing Hotu Mata’ua and the originalsettlers) face west and are said to be alignedwith sunset on the equinoxes.

The afternoon of the March 20, I reachAhu Akivi, high upon the hills above HangaRoa, the island’s only remaining village. Asthe sun begins its descent, I am eager towitness the supposed alignment, but cloudsof an afternoon rainstorm soon envelop thehillside, leaving the seven moai in a cloak ofmist. My soaked companions are eager toleave, but then just before sundown, theclouds thin for a moment and a rainbow en-circles the seven figures. There is no needfor explanation at moments like these.

The moai aren’t the only mystery onEaster Island. The mortarless stonework ofthe ahu has drawn much comparison withMacchu Picchu. But Rapanui masonry isthought to predate construction of thefamed Incan city by several hundred years. Ifthere was a connection, perhaps it was theislanders who influenced the Incans. Thepresence of the sweet potato on the islandhas also suggested a link to South America.Roggeveen’s diaries suggest that some of theislanders had lighter skin and red hair, andlater Thor Heyerdahl produced the theorythat at least some of the islanders must havecome from South America. There are theo-ries of lost Basque sailors intermarryingwith Polynesians. Recent genetic testing hasrevealed the presence of Basque genesamong the Rapanui, however, it is impos-sible to say when this occurred. The island

RAPA NUIbecame a Spanish colony, and thus allowedfor interracial mixing, long before suchtests were available.

Although the origins of the Rapanuipeople continue to elude us, we are begin-ning to learn more about the moai and theirfunction on ancient Rapa Nui. They oncehad inlaid coral eyes, and faced inland tooversee religious ceremonies that took placebefore the ahu, which often functioned astombs for respected clan members. A stoneground drum called a Pu Ke Ho was oncefound at these ceremonial sites, and a chiefpriest would dance upon it, providing therhythm for these rituals, the themes ofwhich have been left to our imaginations.

The more speculative theories about themoai have been disproven over time: Theywere carved of native rock, and were not liq-uified by humans, cast in place, or importedfrom any other location. The three volcanosthat form the island produced the necessaryobsidian, tuff, and scoria with which to formthe moai and ahu. To many locals, it is aninsult and a display of our arrogance to sug-gest that the Rapanui were incapable ofbuilding and moving the statues them-selves. At the quarry of Raru Raraku, hun-dreds of moai lie unfinished, facing the sky.From the slopes of the quarry, one can seehow the moai got their start. Remains of theancient roads along which the statues oncetraveled can still be discerned. Archaeolo-gists have succeeded recently in trans-porting some statues, using methods andequipment that we assume would have beenavailable in antiquity, but exactly whatmethods the Rapanui ancestors used remainunknown. Although science can give us arough picture, the depth of the ancient cul-ture is often beyond our scope.

Kai is a local sculptor who has invitedme to stay in his home. He works withstone or wood, carving moai shaped figuresfor tourists, but today he needs my helpwith a larger project. His father passedaway a few weeks ago and he has just fin-ished the gravestone, a bulky sculpturebearing Catholic and traditional Rapanuisymbology. It is carved from the same vol-canic stone as the moai, and weighs at leasttwo hundred pounds. Its shape makes itawkward to lift, so Kai instructs me to"walk" the stone, rocking it back and forthuntil we can get it up the ramp and into thetruck bed.

The local legend claims that the ancientkings possessed mana, supernatural mentalpower, which has often been attributed toextraterrestrial influence (though this islikely just a tourist ghost story). The islandcontains fossils of the roots of an extinctspecies of palm tree, which may have beenused to roll the statues. If this is true, thenthe Rapanui deforested their island down tothe last tree in order to build and movetheir statues. The deforestation is most

commonly explained as the reason for theisland’s isolation: lacking wood, these greatocean navigators were no longer able tobuild canoes to escape.

After the moai ceased being built (manyleft incomplete at the quarry), a new ritualbegan to take hold. Once a year, each of theisland’s clans sent a competitor to swimthrough shark infested waters to an offshorebird sanctuary, and return with the first in-tact egg of the year. This “bird man” culthas often been portrayed as a worship ofthese birds (or perhaps their power of flight)who would have been the only creaturesable to escape the island now that the Ra-panui people were stranded. Beyond thesculptures left behind near the priests’houses at Orongo, we may never know thereasons for this rite.

If there is a lesson to be learned in thefaces of the moai, perhaps it is this: Our re-sources are limited, our consumption andvanity too often unquenchable. Our clever-ness and technological prowess evolvefaster than our spiritual development, oreven the foresight to ensure our own sur-vival. If this tiny island be a microcosm forhumankind, perhaps we should look at our

voracious use of resources before we arecalled upon to cut down our last tree andresign ourselves to the same fate as the Ra-panui: stranded in isolation, our technolog-ical advances lost for future generations toponder.

Though much of the island’s intriguinghistory has been lost, there are still keyswhich may someday unlock the many se-crets of Rapa Nui. The Rongo Rongo tab-lets, the only known form of written com-munication in the South Pacific, still awaita successful translation of their 700 sym-bols. New moai continue to be discoveredon the island, some as recently as 2003.These may allow a further glimpse into thelives of the ancient Rapanui, whose knowl-edge we have yet to redeem.

This article would not have been possiblewithout the research of numerous archaeol-ogists and the hospitality of the Rapanuipeople.

ASIA’S PYRAMIDS

Continued from Page 26its name. Almost half-sunk into the sea,Atami-san presents a discernably Atlanteanappearance. Atami was an important resortas early as the 5th century, A.D., althoughNeolithic finds in the crater prove the sitehas been occupied from more deeply prehis-toric times, when the name originated.“Atami,” a possible Atlantean linguistic sur-vivor, has no meaning in the Japanese lan-guage.

The Atagi themselves are members of atiny group of highly select, enigmaticShinto priests, said to preserve the mostdeeply ancient wisdom from Japanese pre-history, as embodied in their ceremonialrobes. These are primitively cut to deliber-ately suggest profound age. Their arcane rit-uals open with the members of the priest-hood blowing conch shell trumpets, theonly such example in all Japan. The Atagiphilological resemblance to “Atlantis,” theiremphasis on the great antiquity of their cultand its unique sea-oriented symbolism be-speak the continuing survival of early Atlan-tean religious influences in Japan.

Atago, a high hill lying at the center ofTokyo, is described in myth as the placewhere the gods brought civilization toJapan. Its philological relationship with At-lantis is underscored by its sacred height,today a cemetery, but known as a hallowedburial site going back to neolithic times.

While Egypt’s Great Pyramid is the mostfamous monument on earth, the Great Pyr-amid of China is almost totally unknown,even to most Chinese. It stands about fortymiles southwest of Xian, the largest of six-teen ancient pyramids located in an areadesignated as a Shensi, or “no-go area,” aforbidden zone, by the Communist authori-ties. Their restrictions have thus permittedlittle information and fewer photographs of

the site to make their way to the West.According to world traveler, David

Hatcher Childress, some Chinese archaeolo-gists believe the Xian pyramid was builtduring the Hsia Dynasty, from 2205 to 1767B.C. The Hsia were China’s first historicalmonarchs, having been preceded by fivesemi-legendary rulers. They reigned from2852 to 2206 B.C. Coincidentally, this“mythical” time parameter includes officialdates for Egypt’s Pyramid Age. The firstWesterners to see the Chinese pyramid weretwo Australian traders who crossed theShensi Province just after the turn of the20th century. According to their preserveddiaries, an aged friar living near the Mongo-lian border told them that his monasteryrecords described the structure as 5,000years old.

A few years later, in 1912, this date wasrepeated by a monk hired as a guide for anAmerican fellow trader, Fred MeyerSchroeder. The monk was obviouslyspeaking of the same monastery, when hesaid it preserved information about the pyr-amid. “We rode around it, looking for stair-ways or doors, but saw none,” Schroedersaid later. He did see, however, that the en-tire structure was encased in common field-stone, each block about three feet square.

Unlike its counterpart on the other sideof the world, however, surviving traces oforiginal pigments show that the Xian pyr-amid was painted different colors on each ofits four flanks. The east was bluish gray,with white facing the west, black on thenorth, and red on the south. The only colorcomparison with Egypt’s Great Pyramid wasthe apex, painted a bright yellow, reminis-cent of the gold-sheeted benben “capstone”atop Giza’s foremost monument. Regardingthe Xian structure’s other hues, analogiesmay be found in other parts of the world.The Maya of Yucatan and, much later, Az-tecs in the Valley of Mexico, associated thefour cardinal directions with different

colors, as did many Indian tribes of NorthAmerica. Various colors likewise representeddifferent directions in the Boen religion ofpre-Buddhist Tibet. But none of the coloreddirectional schemes of the Mayas, Aztecs, In-dians or Tibetan Boen match those asso-ciated with Xian’s pyramid. Yet another par-allel is found with Mesoamerica in thenumerous “green stones,” or jade artifactsrecovered at the Chinese site.

As part of burial practices for individualsof royal lineage, the Aztecs interred smalljade objects they referred to as chacalchui-latls—literally, “green stones”—in com-memoration of the Great Flood. It is notknown if the jade items had a similar signifi-cance for the pyramid-builders at Xian, butthe occurrence of these “green stones” inboth pre-Spanish Mexico and legendaryChina gives one pause for consideration.Communist officials denied that the Xianpyramid even existed until the last decadesof the 20th century, when they issued a briefstatement to the effect that the structurewas not really a “pyramid,” but the “trape-zoidal tomb from the Han Dynasty,” makingit contemporary with the late Roman Em-pire. How they arrived at such a conclusionwas not explained, although they admittedthat the site had never been excavated by ar-chaeologists, professional or otherwise.

The next outsider to see the pyramid wasanother American, James Gaussman, duringWorld War II. He was the pilot of a C-47transport plane flying supplies over the re-nowned “Burma Hump” from U.S. bases inIndia to Chiang Kai-skek’s forces in Chung-king. During a return flight to Assam,Gausman experienced engine problems dueto icing conditions, so he dropped to loweraltitudes in search of warmer temperatures,hoping to unfreeze the fuel lines. It was adangerous descent, because he was over avirtually unexplored area of the Himalayanrange skirting the borders of Tibet, Indiaand China. Even if he survived a crash there,

Continued from Page 31no one would ever find him. Gausmanbanked close around a snow-capped peakwhen a broad, flat valley suddenly stretchedout before him. In moments, he swoopedover the Xian pyramid, which he said ap-peared larger that Egypt’s Great Pyramid.His engines came roaring back to life, so hecircled the structure three times, then re-sumed his return flight.

Two years later, Maurice Sheahan, an-other American pilot, acting on Gausman’ssighting, relocated the Chinese pyramid,confirmed his prede-cessor’s impression thatit appeared larger thananything in Egypt. Hisphotographs, which werepublished in the March28, 1947 issue of TheNew York Times, causeda momentary stir, butthereafter the storylapsed into obscurity.

“There’s nothingaround it,” Gausman hadwritten in his intelli-gence report, “just a bigpyramid sitting out inthe wilderness. I figure itwas extremely old. Whobuilt it? When was itbuilt? Why was it built?What’s on the inside?”

These were some ofthe questions German re-searcher, Hartwig Hausdorf, hoped to an-swer when he traveled to China fifty yearslater. Thanks to personal contacts he wasable to make through Chen Jianli, a repre-sentative of China’s tourist bureau, he trav-eled behind the Bamboo Curtain to MaoLing, west of Xianyang, about thirty milesfrom Xian, in 1997. There, in a remote andsomewhat desolate agricultural field, he sawa 200-foot-high pyramid.

“From the top of the pyramid,” he re-ported, “I could see at least seventeenothers, some of them standing alone, otherstwo by two or in rows.”

Hausdorf’s were the first ground-levelphotographs of the structures to appear out-side China. For decades, Beijing denied thatany pyramids existed in China. Beginning inthe late 1980s, the official line began tochange, however. Now they were just “nat-ural hills.” But a few years before the closeof the 20th century, they were officially rec-ognized as legitimate ancient monuments.Yet, the authorities are still very reluctantto discuss them and discourage anyonefrom visiting them. The structures are sub-ject to neither archaeological investigationnor protection. They are not described inany newspaper articles or books about Chi-nese history. Instead, some of the step-pyramids are being used for agriculturalpurposes, such as the specimen at MaoLing, where, according to Hausdorf, fast-

growing conifers have been planted alongits flanks, almost in an effort to camouflagethe monument’s true identity.

Government indifference and even hos-tility to something that would be hailed as anational treasure in most other nations isunderstandable in view of prevailing statedogma. According to Communist ideo-logues, everything produced in China be-fore the 1949 revolution was evil and exploi-tative. Anything of value has only comeabout since then. Hence, they are embar-rassed by any outstanding achievements bytheir pre-Marxist ancestors. But it is

doubtful that the forefa-thers of today’s Chinesewere actually respon-sible for the pyramidalmonuments of ShensiProvince.

In the same regionwere found the mummi-fied remains of a Cauca-soid people dated to atime-period stated inmonastery records forthe construction of theXian pyramid. Investiga-tors were shocked to dis-cover the extraordinarilywell-preserved corpses ofblond and red-hairedmen and women stilldressed in woven gar-ments different fromand far superior in theirmanufacture to anything

else in contemporary China. Where thesestrangers the pyramid-builders of Xian?

If so, they may have belonged to thatworldwide culture that circled the globe5,000 years ago. This conclusion was ar-rived at as long ago as the 1960s by NewZealand aviator, Bruce Cathe, who foundthe diaries of the early 20th Century Austra-lian visitors to the Xian pyramid. He re-ferred to it as “part of an ancient network ofpyramids built at key places around theworld to tap the Earth’s natural energies”.

Underscoring Cathe’s view was a findmade in 1994 by archaeologists surveyingseveral pyramids near the Wei Ho River,just north of Xian. They determined thatthe largest of the set had been deliberatelypositioned with incredible accuracy at theprecise mid-point of ancient China. Haus-dorf exclaimed, “Calculations which weremade immediately after the discovery haveindicated that there is only a declination ofa few yards from the actual center.” The WeiHo Pyramid’s orientation is closely reminis-cent of the Great Pyramid on the Giza Pla-teau, located at the center of the world’slandmass.

While little is known about China’s an-cient pyramids, sufficient evidence suggeststhat they were part of a global attempt un-dertaken by wide-ranging culture-bearersfrom Atlantis intent on building mankind’sfirst world empire.

Japanese Mountaintop pyramid,Amatusa

this genetic line is Caucasian and it is asso-ciated with a rare blood group that is foundin no other populations, it would appear tohave a separate origin. Its highest frequen-cies occur in NW Africa, not in the MiddleEast, which tends to confirm that theformer is the ancestral source. In fact, theBasques, Berbers and Gaunche have longconfounded anthropologists. The Basqueculture is known to be very ancient and thelanguage not yet linked to any other in theworld. This goes along with a separate pointof origin from the rest of Europe and theMiddle East.

Berbers have been found depicted in theearliest artwork of ancient Egypt. The lan-guage spoken by Egyptians at that time wasrelated to Imaghzin, an archaic Hamitictongue. Like the Basques, no one knowswhere this amazingly, hardy culture camefrom. I say hardy because the Berbers havebeen conquered by the Phoenicians, Ro-mans and Arabs and yet their language andcustoms have endured while the first civili-zations, including their languages, com-pletely vanished.

Now, let us examine some culturalrecords to see what they have to say aboutthese peoples. The father of history, Herod-otus, wrote that the people of Libya (NorthAfrica) were called the Atlantoi. In otherwords, in ancient times the Berbers werethought of as the refugees of the sunkencontinent. Is it a coincidence that thelargest concentrations of this tribe live inthe Atlas Mountains?

Is it also a coincidence that the Gaunchebuilt pyramids and mummified their dead inthe Egyptian fashion? Could we, in fact, belooking right at the descendants of thesunken continent? I think the answer is yesand the hard (DNA) evidence offers strongsupport.

Returning to the blood group data, as de-picted in a gene map published by Dr. Ca-valli-Sforza, professor of Genetics at Stan-ford, the locations of the Rh-negativepeoples with the highest frequency occur inMorocco, the Basque Pyrenees, and to alesser extent in Northern Ireland and Scot-land. All these groups carry over 25% ormore of this rare factor. Obviously, the or-igin and occurrence of this blood type mustbe scientifically explained.

If we examine the global distribution ofthe blood groups we find that ‘type A’ ismore frequent in Europe than elsewhere.Then ‘type B’ is more frequent in Asia andsub-Saharan Africa, while ‘type O’ is themost common with its highest frequenciesamong Native peoples of the Americas. Butwhen we input the Rh factor we find the Onegative blood type is virtually absent inmost of the world. As noted above it occursin its highest frequencies among those peo-ples we have been examining. Europe, ingeneral, has the next highest frequency in

the world with about 15% of the populationdisplaying the O negative blood type.

As we move away from the areas of thehighest concentrations the frequency of ‘Onegative’ drops off, there being almost zeroin Asia. This strongly suggests that the Ca-nary Islands, NW Africa and Northern Spainare the ancestral source of this blood type.In fact, there is no other logical point of or-igin since we must assume that the areawith the highest frequency generated it.There are other reasons to suspect that theBasques, Berbers and Gaunche were the an-cestral source of ‘type O’ negative.

Blood groups A and Bare co-dominant alleles, O isrecessive. This means thatover time with populationsmixing and marrying theformer blood groups willdisplace the latter. This isdoubly true for O negativesince this Rh factor is also arecessive gene. We saw thatwhen geneticists analyzedthe Gaunche mummies theyfound about 80% displayed‘type O’ negative. The nextmost prominent blood typein the Basque, Berber andCanary Islanders is A. Thesepopulations show very lowfrequencies of type B, which is prevalent inAfrica and Asia and even higher in the restof Europe.

Now, some population geneticists havetheorized that the ancestral race in Europewas entirely or almost entirely ‘type O’, Rh-negative. This jibes with the fact that theBasques and Berbers are known to have pre-ceded the Indo-Aryan invaders who marchednorth into Europe. The latter groups be-came the dominant European ethnic andcultural groups we know today. To an extentthey mixed with the descendants of the orig-inal Basques and Berbers who were in theIberian Peninsula, so that is why we find the15% type O negative frequency in themodern (European) population.

In other words, we are saying that theancestral blood group that produced therare blood ‘type O’ Rh negative had its homein Atlantis. The immigrants that fled to theIberian Peninsula, the Canary Islands andthe coast of NW Africa were the carriers ofthis genetic lineage. They were the Rh-negative race that later intermixed with Rh-positive groups that entered Europe atmuch later dates. When we bring in culturalfactors we find further support since thesepeople not only share a genetic background,they have also fiercely protected their au-tonomy and life ways for many thousands ofyears.

We have another important and veryrare genetic factor to tie in to this discus-sion, the ‘X’ mtDNA haplogroup. We sawthat the U6 haplogroup, like the Rh negativeblood type, is linked to these peoples. It toofinds its greatest concentration in the re-gion just north and south of the Straits of

Gibralter. That mtDNA cluster is far moreancient than the typical European groups.In addition, we also find the very importantand very rare ‘X’ haplogroup among thesepopulations.

The highest frequencies of the ‘X’ ge-netic factor occur in the same areas that the‘type O’ negative is found. The ‘X’ haplo-group is absent in sub-Sahara Africa, mostof Asia, all of Central and South America.Yet it is found in the very countries thathave the high Rh negative frequencies andalso preserve historical accounts of havingonce lived on an island-continent that was

destroyed. Is this not quitean astonishing coincidence?

It is very clear that the‘type O’ Rh negative bloodtype and mtDNA U6 and ‘X’clusters go together as theyare only found in small iso-lated populations in Europe,N.W. Africa and NorthAmerica. Let us now put thepuzzle together. The ‘typeO’ negative blood and an-cient U6 mtDNA haplo-groups are different becausethey originated on an iso-lated island. Edgar Caycementioned that the Atlan-

tean refugees fled to North Africa and to theIberian Peninsula. That scenario conformsto the genetic evidence.

The reason that Northern Africa containsan indigenous Caucasian people is becausethey originally inhabited an island continentto the west. Plato described that continentquite accurately and he was well aware ofthe (Berber) refugees, Atlantoi. TheGuanche were ferried to the Canary Islandsduring one of the immigration waves. Curi-ously, the Gaunche were not a seafaringpeople and they did not depend upon fish asa food source. They had no boats when theSpanish invaded the islands. This poses aprofound paradox. How did an indigenouspopulation get agricultural seeds and imple-ments on the islands without boats?

This indicates that they had been a land-locked, agricultural group that tended sheepand grew wheat on Atlantis before beingtransported to the Canary Islands. We knowthat they became isolated from each otheron the islands because they had slightly dif-ferent versions of the same language and dif-ferent customs. The Basques and Berbershave always lived like the Gaunche and theyshow no inclination of adopting modernways. It is not hard to imagine how a groupof landlubbers were transported from asinking island to safety to continue the lifethey had always known.

The latest research methods are makinga stronger and stronger case for Atlantis.The blood group and mtDNA studies demon-strate what many Atlantis theorists havespeculated for several generations: theBasques, Berbers and ancient Canary Is-landers were Atlantean refugees.

A Space Base on MarsTo maintain, over thousands of years, a

space base on Mars required water for sur-vival. The “Fishman’s” attire of the one onMars suggests bodies of water on Mars.Moreover, as detailed in my latest book TheLost Book of Enki (“Lord Earth,” a later titlefor Ea), water was used by the Anunnaki topropel their spacecraft and the availability ofwater on Mars made it a suitable way-station.

The Anunnaki, I have concluded in mybooks, used Mars not just for a quick stop-over. They created a permanent space baseon Mars, complete with structures androads. In Genesis Revisited I reproduced nu-merous photographs taken by NASA’s Mar-iner-9 in 1972 and Viking-1 Orbiter in 1976that clearly showed a variety of artificialstructures there. Some of them were in theCydonia area with its famed “Face.”

Not only such ancient evidence, butNASA’s own photographs from the 1970s on-ward, indicated the presence of water onMars. A search for watery evidence is, thus,no great innovation.

Searching – or AVOIDING?The current search for evidence of water

on Mars is hinted as an indirect effort to findevidence for “life” on Mars. But as in a pre-vious attempt to test Martian soil (that wasdeemed unsuccessful), the current one looksagain, at best, for evidence of microbial life.This impels one to ask: Why is NASA notsending its rovers to such areas as Cydonia,where its own photographs have shown re-mains of artificial structures (to ignore, for amoment, the “Face”)?

As exciting as a discovery that microbeshad been on Mars would be—isn’t the avoid-ance of closer looks at areas with structures(and the Face) indicative of a desire to notfind real Life on Mars—the life representedby intelligent beings who fashioned us tolook and be like them?

For those who launch the space mis-sions, the word “Extraterrestrials” remainstaboo.

Was the “Face” Depicted 4,500 YearsAgo?

The successful landing by NASA of tworobotic rovers on Mars earlier this year wasan occasion for joy and expectation—joy be-cause so many of the preceding attempts(including by the Japanese and the British)have failed, and expectation of obtainingconfirmation that Mars was once a wateryplanet.

This confirmation was announced byNASA on March 2, 2004. NASA’s spokesmaneven went as far as stating that “where therewas water there could be life." They speak ofcourse, about bacteria.

Commenting on predictions this would


MARShappen, I wrote in a letter to the ed-itor of The New York Times (on Jan-uary 18, 2004) that even if NASAsucceeds in proving the existence ofwater in the past, “it would only af-firm what most people by now be-lieve anyway.” NASA’s own photo-graphs from the 1970s andthereafter have already shown suchevidence.

“To conclude that bacteria mighthave existed on Mars” (a possibilitythat would be indicated by the exis-tence of water), I further wrote inmy Letter, “will hardly excite thepublic what would be exciting andhighly significant for mankind’s pastand future would be to find evidenceof intelligent life—beings like us—on Mars. The ancient Sumerians asserted soin their texts inscribed on clay tablets. Mar-iner photographs from the 1970s show pos-sible remains of artificial structures (toleave aside the famed Face). To send roversto find bacterial evidence rather than verifyevidence for intelligent beings on Mars, e.g.,in the Cydonia region, is a red-herringcover-up.”

Intriguing Remains in CydoniaThe letter, not unexpectedly, was not

published… But the question remains, Whyhad NASA persistently avoided on-site exam-

ination of the Cydonia area?In Genesis Revisited (1990) I reproduced

a series of NASA’s own photographs, in-cluding photo 035-A-72 (Plate “E” in thebook) that captured a panoramic view of Cy-donia. There, clearly, the camera captured arock carved to look like a human face, of amale wearing a helmet (plate “F” in thebook) and the remains of walled structures,with two walls forming a right angle (plate“G” in the book).

Other NASA photographs reproduced inthe book showed a lake shore, a waterchannel outfitted with piers, the remains of

a pentagonal structure, of roads leading toelongated buildings.

Ignoring the EvidenceWhile in my writings and lectures I em-

phasized the structural evidence, it was theFace that captured the interest and imagina-tion of various individuals and groups.NASA, on its part, ignored all the evidencesin its subsequent missions, focusing insteadon geology. It was only as a result of apublic outcry that NASA finally directed anorbiter, Mars Pathfinder, to take a look atthe Face—but only after a dust storm that

(Some of theserious work to uncover the distortions wasdone by the Meta Research Institute underthe leadership of the astronomer ThomasVan Flandern). Yet, now distorted or not,the fact remains that the unusual rock isstill there, and that it clearly showed ahuman-like face in the 1970s photographs.

My conclusions were and still are thatintelligent beings akin to us had been toMars thousands of years ago. The Sumer-ians knew who they were: The same Anun-naki from Nibiru who had come to Earthand maintained a way-station on Mars.

The Cylinder Seal DepictionThe Sumerian information is provided in

texts on clay tablets, and in pictorial supportof my conclusions I included in my booksthe rendering of a depiction on a 4,500years-old cylinder seal, now kept in the Her-mitage Museum in St. Petersburg in Russia(Fig. 91 in Genesis Revisited):

It shows an astronaut (“Eagleman”) onEarth (indicated by the seven dots, Earthbeing the seventh planet counted from out-side into the solar system, accompanied bythe Moon’s crescent) greeted by an astro-naut (“Fishman,” equipped for splashdowns)on Mars (the sixth planet when our solarsystem is entered from afar), and a space-craft with extended panels and antennas inthe heavens between them.

The “Face – 4,500 Years Ago?It was a discerning fan, Richard L.C. of

Manheim, PA, who drew my attention to thesimilarity between the Face in the NASAphotographs (yes, there were several ones)as depicted in Genesis Revisited and the hel-meted face of the astronaut on Mars as de-picted on the Sumerian seal. The latter hasbeen enlarged for better comparison:

Though one is shown full face and theother (in the seal) in profile, the similarity isnothing short of uncanny!

Could the Sumerians have known of theFace on Mars 4,500 years ago?

The Yes answer is detailed in my latestbook, The Lost Book of Enki.

It is time to start looking for the Real ev-idence Mars.

tify critical life experiences thattransform us into respectful, respon-sible adults. “Certain experiencesconnect the biological or instinctivewith the spiritual,” he says, citingJoseph Campbell’s statement, “Lifelives on lives.” HOW we participatein the food chain really does haveawesome consequences for our spiri-tual awakening. The matrix ofhuman life rests squarely on the po-larities of life and death. Just asbirthing is a woman's most powerfulinitiation in life, taking life is aman’s. Eaton considers ‘hunting’ viavideo games a toxic mimic of a sa-cred hunting experience. “It createsmore violence because it isn’t a ho-listic experience. You don’t see thedamage you’ve caused, nor feel theintensity of taking a life with rever-ence and understanding the conse-quences. When I lecture there areoften parties afterwards and pork isthe meat of choice. I will purposelyeat it (he avoids it otherwise) andthank the pig because I know that no oneelse is doing so. When you accept the painand suffering and participate in it, you caninfuse it with joy.”

He carries that attitude with him intothe gym, which he hits regularly out ofneed. “I have all kinds of athletic injuriesand if I didn’t lift weights I wouldn’t be ableto get out of bed in the morning—and Imean that literally!” But it’s not just phys-ical conditioning he seeks. Weight traininghas been a passion for Eaton, who quit com-peting in body building 10 years ago at theage of 50. He still ‘lifts heavy,’ finding it “re-plenishing and uplifting.” “Whatever the bi-ology or physiology is, it re-centers and in-vigorates me. I think about Sisyphus(eternally pushing a rock up a steep hillonly to have it roll back down again) a lotwhen I’m lifting. You’re acquiescing andembracing the fact that life is toil by em-bracing it, and making a ritual of it youmake it joyful. In a way, it’s a spiritual exer-cise, like communion—asking for energy tocome in, using it, employing it—blessingthe body. It’s not just a physical, ego thing.It’s feeding spirit.”

Influenced by “great men of the 1880s”(Aldo Leopold, Carl Jung, Picasso, Einsteinand philosopher Jose Ortego y Gasset), all ofwhom championed the interdependence oflife, Eaton evaluates human behavioral evo-lution in terms of hunting and has devel-oped some new theories of sociobiology.“Our entire genetic makeup has largelybeen formed by the hunting life,” he states.Like author Don Miguel Ruiz (The FourAgreements), Eaton feels that the “domesti-cation process,” something he thinks beganwith agricultural communities, has been

one of deterioration. “Like dogs and wolves,a human being’s brain has shrunk in com-parison to our ancestors. Primal peoplesliving close to the earth are living the lifethat our genetic package intended for us tolive.” And, like author Joseph ChiltonPearce, Eaton advocates the cultivation ofthe heart, noting that “Native peoples thinkwith the whole body, spirit and mind, withfeeling and sensation and heart. Western so-ciety has become so fractionated and frag-mented—we think we’re doing brilliantthings, when in reality we’re probablyplaying Russian roulette with the planet.”

If Eaton had his way, we would visit bio-regional theme parks—bridges between civ-ilized life and primal living—ideal learningcenters. He’s thought about this a lot andhas developed plans for several. “We need topersonalize our relationship to learning,” hesays, explaining that part of his vision wouldenable people to participate in howling ses-sions with wolves. “Then you’d get a demon-stration of a sheepdog herding livestock andsee how its behavior has descended from thewolf’s.” Then you might learn about the or-igin of the term ‘werewolf.’ That tidbit, heoffers, comes from the pre-Roman era whenmen killed wolves to prove they could pro-tect the flocks. They donned wolf skins(wear wolf?) and Greek writers later inter-preted it to mean that the men involved inthese wolf cults actually turned into wolves.Eaton wants learning centers that will “in-terweave the relationships between our-selves and creatures and that will pinpointour cultural limitations, that will includeconsidering the waves of cultures that camebefore us. We need to look to the heart, look�


ORCASdeeper than the cultural conditioning of themind. Each region has its own problemsand issues, so those in the regions need tobe the ones confronting and solving thoseissues.”

Like Einstein, Eaton recognizes that wewon’t solve the global social/environmentalcrisis with the same thinking (in this case,reliance on the ego-intellect) that caused it.“Ego-intellect is a dead-end track for us andfor life on earth,” he says. “Wherever wecame from, we now belong to Mother Earth,

and to imagine that life in outer space willsave the day is a cop-out. We need a radicaltransformation, a recovery of faith in heart-intelligence.” This is what he believes orcasand other cetaceans are here to teach us.“One of our goals in The Orca Project (hisbook, The Orca Project—A Meeting of Na-tions, documents his 20-year research expe-rience and examines the unique behavior oforcas and their exceptional relationshipwith humans) was to get our volunteerswithin the powerful field of the orcas’hearts. When humans pass through thatfield, it changes them.”

Eaton finds it significant that Jesus sawthe dawning of a “new age of spiritual broth-erhood” on planet earth, and feels that, de-spite appearances to the contrary, cetaceansare our brothers. “The original symbol forJesus was not a horizontal fish,” he says,“but rather a vertical dolphin. Orcas anddolphins have impressive brains, but theycommunicate with us heart to heart. Theyare teachers of the heart. No amount ofdrugs, technology or scientific expertise cansurpass the power of the human heart. Wealready do have everything we need tochange the world.”

THE CHRIST


suing elements of this story line, as it mayhave impacted European history, have beenmade much of in Baigent, Leigh, and Lin-coln’s Holy Blood, Holy Grail and, most re-cently, in Dan Brown’s best-selling novelThe Da Vinci Code.

In the last few years such revelationsfrom alternative scholarship have offeredcompelling insight into Christian origins.Emerging from the mists of antiquity is apicture of intrigue and treachery in whichJesus’ original teachings were codified into aset of laws and doctrines enforced by apriestly elite in collusion with secularprinces determined to preserve their au-thority. The hidden agenda was to distractthe people from troublesome notions of per-sonal immortality, and to substitute insteadthe specter of sinful guilt requiring the in-tercession and vicarious atonement of Jesus.This doctrine mandated the actual worshipof Jesus as the wholly unique Son of Godand the placing of the burden for all humanerror on his shoulders alone. Thus divertedfrom accepting responsibility for their ownsowings, the people were effectively robbedof the power to address their personal chal-lenges and, ultimately, to transcend theircircumstances—prevented, in other words,from endangering their rulers.

Seen in such light, the current cam-paign, spearheaded by Gibson’s movie, toemphasize the suffering of Jesus and tofocus upon the guilt associated with it, ap-pears aimed at re-energizing a formula forcontrol, which—though successful for cen-turies—seems now in danger of losing itsgrip.

Other threads to the mystery of Jesus re-main missing, but for many years rumorshave persisted that the Vatican holds exotictexts about his life which could drasticallyalter traditional belief. In 1887 a Russiantraveler, Nicolas Notovitch, claimed to havediscovered such texts in a monastery atHimis, Ladakh. Later he wrote The Un-known Life of Jesus Christ, a book aboutJesus’ journey eastward as a young man andhis Lost Years between 12 and 30. Anotherbook by Notovitch, The Life of Saint Issa, re-lates how Jesus studied and taught the

Vedas in India. Joining a caravan at an earlyage, the story goes, Jesus traveled the SilkRoad to Kapilavastu, birthplace of Buddha.While in India, he fiercely denounced theHindu priest-class, the Brahmins, much ashe later denounced the Pharisees in Mat-thew’s gospel.

In 1929 an Indian Swami, Abhedananda,published a Bengali translation of the Bud-dhist texts. The same year, Nicholas Roe-rich, the painter and explorer, quoted thetexts in his travel diary. Roerich’s transcrip-tion reveals a mystical teaching on the Di-vine Feminine given by Jesus in India.

The idea that Jesus may have traveled tothe East is reinforced by striking similaritiesbetween statements attributed to him in thegnostic gospels and Eastern spirituality. Asauthor Patricia Spadaro points out, “In con-trast to the ‘savior’ of orthodoxy, the Jesusof gnostic scriptures plays the role of mysticand teacher. Like a lama or Zen masterteaching students to awaken their ownBuddha nature, this Jesus challenges disci-ples to cultivate true self-knowledge and tocreate their own one-on-one relationshipwith the divine.”

Among the most interesting alternativeinterpretations of the meaning of Jesus’ lifeare those which come from comparisons be-tween Christian teaching and that of an-cient Egypt.

“The central figure of the ancient Egyp-

tian Religion was Osiris,” wrote the lateEgyptologist Sir E. A. Wallis Budge, “and thechief fundamentals of his cult were the be-lief in his divinity, death, resurrection, andabsolute control of the destinies of thebodies and souls of men. The central pointof each Osirian’s Religion was his hope ofresurrection in a transformed body and ofimmortality, which could only be realized byhim through the death and resurrection ofOsiris.”

“Classical writers,” relates Richard Cas-saro, “describe Osiris as a semi-divine kingwho abolished cannibalism, taught men andwomen to live according to law of maat, im-proved their morality, and, filled with lovefor mankind, set out on a quest to travel theworld and bring the benefits of civilizationto other cultures. Their commentary con-tinues with mythological descriptions of themurder of Osiris by a jealous brother Seth,his rebirth, accomplished by the magic ofhis sister/wife Isis and his second death,caused again by Seth, who dismembered hisbody and scattered the pieces up and downthe Nile. After the utter destruction of Osirishis son, Horus, defeats Seth in an epochalbattle thereby vindicating his murdered fa-ther.”

Many important symbols of Christianity,including the cross, the shepherd’s crook,the special role of Mary, even the beard ofJesus seem to echo earlier Egyptian prac-

tice. Perhaps the link may be explained by Is-raelite, and ultimately Christian, history.The lawgiver Moses, it must be remembered,was first a prince of Egypt before estab-lishing Judeo/Christian practice. Some re-searchers, such as Ralph Ellis and Sir Law-rence Gardner, have suggested there was acontinuous thread from the pharaohs of an-cient Egypt and their traditions directlythrough old testament Israelite history toJesus.

The Egyptians likened the spirit of Osiristo a heavenly bird much like Christianityportrays the holy spirit as a white andshining dove. The Egyptians called the birdBenu, the Greeks called it phoenix. Ac-cording to legend the creature miraculouslyappears in the eastern sky at crucial pointsin history to herald a new world age, thenmysteriously sets itself ablaze and is con-sumed. However, it ultimately arises trium-phantly from death renewed and rejuve-nated.

Scholars believe the phoenix was asymbol of Osiris. The attributes of Osiris asphoenix are the same as those of the Chris-tian Messiah. Both appear in the eastern sky(the star of Bethlehem arose in the east).Both rise from the dead. Both symbolize lifeafter death through resurrection. Bothsignal the start of new ages. Finally, and per-haps most importantly, both are associatedwith prophecies of a second coming.

Esoteric Christianity presents the life andteachings of Jesus primarily as a path of ini-tiation where the Christ, acting more aspriest than king, guides disciples—those hesaid had “eyes to see and ears to hear”—through various rituals of purification cul-minating in their illumination and libera-tion. (Here might be at least one source ofhostility from an ignorant high priest—jealousy.) In this sense, Christ’s role asanointed revealer of the sacred mysteriesharmonizes with the purest and most an-cient temple wisdom and practice. To ini-tiates seeking ‘gnosis,’ Jesus’ every step takeson rich symbolic significance. Striving—spiritually speaking—to assimilate theirmaster’s very body and blood (his exampleand teachings), their resulting illuminationultimately unlocks the mystery of com-munion with the master—symbolized by thecup at the last supper, otherwise known asthe holy grail—and leads to unity with theircreator and eternal life or immortality.

Ironically, the makers of Passion, what-ever their conscious intentions, may havebeen participating unconsciously in a muchgreater process than they could have real-ized, and one which they may have beenpowerless to escape. Both they and their au-dience, perhaps, have been led unwittinglyupward on what has been called in esotericlore “the 33 steps of the spinal altar to theplace of the skull, where the Christ is cruci-fied between the two thieves of the anteriorand posterior lobes.”Osiris, weilding the shepherd’s crook weighs the balance of good and evil at judgement day

The Entombment of Christ (Raphael)


STAR OF BETHLEHEM


would have been considered noteworthy byastrologers of that era, since such tight NewMoon/Jupiter conjunctions only occur aboutonce every 27 years or so. But to have thisJupiter/Sun/Moon conjunction also opposeMars at the same time would have made thisa definite must-see event for ancient sky-watchers.

Observers in India, however, would haveseen something more, something thatwould have made the whole alignment takeon a far more personal urgency: the align-ment straddled both their eastern andwestern horizons at the precise instant theNew Moon became exact. Such an unusualangular alignment, the Magi would haveknown, only occurs once in many thousandsof years. Parans, near-simultaneous anglecrossings such as these, were considered ex-tremely important in ancient astrology. Ofcourse, risings were held to be of far greaterimportance than settings; risings were thefuture, while settings were the past. Thissimple fact might have left those imperialcounselors very concerned, for the glorious(Jupiter) New Moon alignment setting pre-cisely on their western horizon would havecarried the uncomfortable suggestion thattheir own civilization might be about to fall,while some other martial force (indicated by

Mars rising at the same time on the oppo-site horizon) was about to appear.

Would those Magi have been confidentthat this was the correct interpretation ofthe alignment? Surely not; experiencewould have likely taught them to be wary ofjumping to any extreme conclusions. Butsome concern probably would at least havecrossed their minds, and they would havemade a point of watching this alignmentvery closely, measuring it as best they could.India’s Magi would have been paying closeattention to this alignment in their skiesthat dark New Moon evening, and after theywatched the Sun set on their western ho-rizon, they would have naturally turned toobserve Mars rising like clockwork in theeast. And as they carefully monitored itsslow upward progress into the night sky,they would have been in the perfect positionto notice a strange new star they’d never no-ticed before. Uranus was just below Mars inthe sky that night, and while Uranus is com-monly assumed to be invisible to the nakedeye, this is not entirely true. Objects with anapparent visual magnitude of 6, such asUranus, can be seen with the naked eyewhen conditions are right.

The Magi had a long-standing reputationas excellent astrologers and believed them-selves to be thoroughly familiar with all thevisible stars in the zodiac. If they happenedto notice Uranus rising up beneath Marsthat night, they would have immediately re-alized that it didn’t belong, that it hadn’t

been there before, at least not according totheir records. And just as the Bible re-corded, they would indeed have first spottedthis new star “en te anatole,” rising in theeast just as the Sun was setting in the west.

...and the star MOVED!What would their reaction have been if

they had spotted Uranus? They probablywould have done just what the Bible re-ports. At first, they’d have studied it care-fully, and after some months of observation(Uranus moves slowly), they would haveeventually realized to their astonishmentthat it was not just another fixed star at all,but a whole new planet, another movingstar—another god!

Two things conspired to keep Uranus in-visible to them before that night: its visi-bility comes and goes, and it moves aroundfrom place to place in the sky. It is literallythe only planet in our solar system that hasboth these qualities. The rest of the knownplanets also move around, of course, buttheir visibility remains relatively constant.The visibility of many low-magnitude starsalso comes and goes, but since they alwaysstay in the same place, it remains a simplematter to confirm their existence and exactposition. The ancient Magi would have beenable to return again and again to re-studyand re-measure and re-examine all the restof the visible stars, and over the centuries,every last star could have been verified andre-verified, even those whose light fluctu-


ated on the edges of visibility. But Uranusnot only appeared and disappeared de-pending on viewing conditions, it movedaround a lot as well. But eventually, sinceUranus is, after all, visible to the naked eyeat least some of the time, it seems reason-able to assume that the Magi would have no-ticed it sooner or later.

Their reaction suggests they did justthat.

Do we know where theMagi were when theymade their famoussighting? The Bible onlysays “in the East,” but wemay be able to narrowthat down a bit. Any Magiliving near the IndusRiver in India would havemonitored the eventclosely enough to spot theelusive Uranus. Legendsabout the Biblical Magisupport this possibility,identifying at least one ofthose travelers as indeedfrom India. Hindu tradi-tion also supports thistheory. Not only has as-trology been respectedand studied in India forages, but Vedic scripturessuggest that Uranus in-deed was discovered mil-lennia ago by Indian star-gazers. And according toIsrael’s records, Magifrom the East saw astrange new moving starin the sky sometimearound 1 B.C., and con-cluded from what theysaw that a new god hadjust been born. Coinci-dence?

Journey to See a GodIt would have taken

months of observation tobe sure that Uranus wasreally moving, and by thattime winter’s rains wouldhave arrived, requiring any travel plans tobe postponed until spring. The long, ar-duous, and dangerous overland route fromIndia to Israel would have been unimagin-ably unpleasant. That they were willing toundertake such a journey at all speaks vol-umes about how confident they were abouttheir interpretation of the star’s meaningand urgency. According to T. E. Lawrencean inexperienced person riding a camel cancover about 30 miles per day. Departing inspring, they would have arrived in Israelsometime in late summer or early fall. Con-vinced the divine child had been born theinstant they first saw the star, the Magiwould have expected him to be slightly overa year old by then.

When Herod realized that he had beenoutwitted by the Magi, he was furious, and

he gave orders to kill all the boys in Beth-lehem and its vicinity who were two yearsold and under, in accordance with the timehe had learned from the Magi. (Matthew2:16)

According to Jewish reckoning at thetime, a child of one year and one month wasconsidered two years old.

The only evidence anyone can have for

the Star of Bethlehem is the Magi’s reac-tion, going to search for a newborn god.The possibility that they spotted an unfa-miliar new planet seems to fit this reactionbetter than any other natural phenomenonthey could have possibly witnessed. Plane-tary conjunctions, comets, and so on wereall relatively familiar sights, especially for acaste of priests that had been carefully mon-itoring the heavens for over 500 years. Thediscovery of a new planet would have beenunprecedented. So far as we know, this wasthe only time the Magi ever took a road tripto go worship an unknown newborn.

The Month and DateWere the Magi correct in assuming that

Jesus had been born at the exact instant ofthe New Moon of September 16, 1 B.C.?

There actually does seem to be some evi-dence that Jesus was born in September. Forinstance, the report that “shepherds werewatching their flocks by night” (Luke 2: 8-12) fits a September birthdate far better thanone in December. Shepherds were not out inthe fields in winter (Song of Solomon 2:11,Ezra 10:9, 13). It was ancient custom amongJews to send out their sheep to fields and

deserts in early springand bring them home at

the commencement ofthe first rain, generally

no later than October 15.Still, that only narrows

the likely date of the na-tivity down to half a year.However, a curious early

Christian practice specifi-cally suggests a Sep-

tember nativity. In theearliest years of the

church, during the Sep-tember Jewish Feast ofRosh Hashanah, Chris-tians seem to have car-

ried on their own myster-ious celebrations behind

closed doors, which somehave suggested were the

first Christmas festivities.Remarkably, there is

even some evidence sup-porting the actual date of

September 16, 1 B.C. Thisjust happens to have been

the first day of Rosh Ha-shanah for that year,

when the population ofJerusalem would have

swelled from about100,000 people to over a

million. With all thosepeople, there would have

been little room at theinns of Jerusalem and the

surrounding towns, justas the Bible reported.

Rosh Hashanah, ofcourse, is the Jewish New

Year, a symbolically ap-propriate date for the

birth of their messiah.Was Jesus born on September 16, 1 B.C.?

Curiously, the astrological chart for thisNew Moon not only seems to correspondwith the Biblical account of Jesus’ personand history, but also to match the subse-quent history of the Christian church. TheMagi, of course, would have seen this as ap-propriate, since the birth of Jesus Christ wasalso the birth of Christianity. More curiousstill is the fact that this ancient birthchartseems, despite all reason, to reflect many ofthe most significant secular developments ofthe last 2000 years as well.

ments of Baird T. Spalding’s story as he toldit. Bruton found that none of it was true. Ifthe driver’s licenses found in the motelroom had given the right birth date forSpalding, then Spalding could have legiti-mately celebrated his 100thbirthday on May 28, 2004. ButBruton decided that Spaldinghad probably lied to themotor vehicles departmentabout his age, and that he hadmore likely died in his mid-70s, and certainly not at al-most 96. He had not beenborn in Kohocton, New York,he had never studied engi-neering or much of anythingand he had not gone to Indiauntil 1935, when DeVorss &Company had sent him thereas a sort of tour guide forsome of his admiring readers.But, once in India, Spaldinghad found every excuse not totake his charges to thenearest of the fabulous siteshe’d described in his books(some could not be reachedbecause the roads were im-passable, others had perishedin an earthquake and so on).

Nevertheless, Bruton dis-covered (and had already no-ticed it in some of his own en-counters with Spalding) thatall who met him saw amazingabilities in this self-proclaimed explorer/engineer.Spalding seemed to knoweverything and remembereverything even when itseemed he had not known itat all before he was asked aquestion. I heard him repeat-edly come up with the rightanswer on almost any topic,any place or any time, Brutonwrote in his biography. Hismemory feats were more thanphenomenal; they were fan-tastic and unbelievable. Whenalmost any name was put to him, Spaldingwould say, “Well, I knew him well,” and im-mediately seize on a number of details inthat person’s life which almost invariablychecked out. Others told Bruton they hadevidence that Spalding had traversed enor-mous distances in the twinkling of an eye;some declared that when he stayed in ahome, the fridge filled up with food everyday. Even in the last weeks of his life, he wasseen to perform prodigious feats of endu-rance. A month before Spalding died, wroteBruton, he packed on his back a miningdrill, weighing 60 pounds, over eight milesof rugged New Mexico terrain. When he ar-

rived at his destination, he used the drill fora week, drilling twenty-four consecutivehours on one occasion.

In the year that followed Spalding’sdeath, Bruton was able to piece togetherfrom various sources a strange explanationfor Baird T. Spalding’s strange powers. Helearned that Spalding was a man who, so tospeak, was inhabited by three souls. He was

told by those in touch with occult sourcesthat Spalding was benevolently manipulatedby three disembodied entities: the deceasedspirits of his grandfather (who in fact hadhad some of the same experiences in Indiathat his grandson claimed to have), of an oldminer (who gave Spalding the intense joythat he took in mining operations), and of alittle child (who was the reason forSpalding’s child-like openness not only tolife but to the three entities). Somehow,these entities, or controls as Bruton calledthem, served to supply Spalding on demandwith any knowledge he needed almost as if,Bruton suggested, they were themselves

conduits to the akashic records.But Bruton insisted that Spalding was

far more than just an affable automaton ofgenius. Sometimes, the biographer asserted,these channelings (of which Spalding wasonly partially aware) caused tension and dif-ficulties in the author’s life. Bruton hintedobliquely at this in his biography, declaringthat happiness came to him [Baird

Spalding] spasmodically,while tragedy lingered in thebackground of his mind todrive him relentlessly towardfurther accomplishment.

In fact, some strangesense of dark karma lingeredover Baird T. Spalding’s life.It did not end on the day hedied, nor on the day adminis-trator David Bruton closedthe final page of the ledger ofSpalding’s tangled debts andunfilled promises. For aquarter of a century, DouglasDeVorss, Spalding’s pub-lisher, had played an enig-matic and ambiguous role inSpalding’s life, often ap-pearing as his benefactor,other times as his exploiter,even his tormentor. In June1953, three months afterSpalding’s death, DeVorss’swife Dorothy died in child-birth. DeVorss was inconsol-able. For weeks he was seencrying in the garden outsidetheir newly purchased 12-room Pasadena house. OnSeptember 24, 1953, a mancarrying a revolver enteredDeVorss’s ground-floor pub-lishing premises in downtownLos Angeles. The manmarched into the publishersoffice and fired four bulletsinto him at point-blankrange. Douglas DeVorss stag-gered to the rear door of hisoffice and died. His assailantfled, eight hours later turninghimself into the L.A.P.D.

At the trial, the mur-derer’s lawyer argued that De-Vorss had been having an af-fair with his client’s wife who

had been working in DeVorss’s office, butwhom the publisher, shortly before hismurder, had taken into his home as house-keeper when she told him her husband wasthreatening to kill her. The defense didn’twork; the assailant was convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to life inprison.

The strange, interlocked karma of Bairdand DeVorss seemed to have come to abloody resolution. All that remained was theoverwhelming mystery of Baird T.Spalding’s strange and brilliant life, a mys-tery that remains, and should be honored tothis day.



ASTROLOGY

huge storm on the ocean. Selfishly fright-ened for his own safety, her father pushedSedna overboard, and when she tried toclimb back into the boat, he gouged out oneof her eyes and chopped off her fingers,which clung to the sides of the boat. Whenshe ultimately succumbed to her fate, shedrifted to the bottom of the sea. Her brokenfingers became seals, walruses and whales,the sea animals the Inuit hunted. Sednathen became goddess of thedeep Arctic Ocean, and like apetulant child, meted out lifeor death based on her mood.

Sedna’s myth tells us thatshe must feel satisfied thathumanity is keeping theirpart of the bargain before shewill release her creatures tohuman hunters. Shamans arerequired to journey to the icydepths of her realm as inter-mediaries. Sedna’s ultimatemessage is one of respect forthe means of survival. Shecan be seen to reward, re-spect and punish greed. Herown sacrifice resulted in hertransformation. We are cau-tioned to respect this life-giving being and to honorher. Her nature will demandrespect for the oceans, the bi-ological origin of life onEarth. At a time when Earth’soceans are increasingly pol-luted, she brings a harshmessage about survival andquality of life.

Power of a NameA kind of magic seems to

be at work in myth. Some ex-quisite mechanism appears toact within collective con-sciousness to result in thenaming of archetypal influences. It is my ob-servation that astronomers are just as fasci-nated by this process as the storytellers.Naming something imbues it with power,and now that this celestial body has a name,her existence will come alive in our con-sciousness.

Sedna is a new order of being in oursolar system and the first queen of a new ar-chetypal domain. She occupies the innerOort cloud, living in the frigid and distant“waters” of the solar system. She is a starkcontrast to her “planetary” predecessors.Her mythic origins make her a New Worldgoddess rather than Old World. She is achild rather than adult, and is female notmale. Her mythic themes are sacrifice, be-trayal, abandonment and redemption. LikePersephone and Demeter, her presence andgrace affects cycles of growth or greenness

on earth, and she controls the ability ofhunters to feed their families. The goddessof the Arctic deep deals with the cyclical re-lationship between humanity and the be-nevolence of Earth’s bounty or the with-holding of her gifts.

As a new class of being in our solarsystem Sedna represents a new facet of ourcollective awareness. That she is a goddessbodes well for the return of the divine femi-nine. Uranus, Neptune and Pluto (andQuaoar) are all decidedly male.

Just as technology enabled us to per-ceive Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, onceagain science will escort us into a domain

beyond our imagining just a short time ago.I wrote earlier that the Kuiper Belt mightbecome like the River Styx, acting like ametaphorical barrier to a deeper under-standing (AR # 37). Sedna, and her counter-parts which may yet be discovered, will takeus to another level of cosmic under-standing. What kind of evolutionary leap inthe unfolding of our consciousness will thenew symbolic barrier of the inner Oortcloud represent? Perhaps we will see theSun and its family more holistically.

Astrological SignificanceBecause it is our nature, astrologers will

incorporate Sedna into the interpretativemix. It’s early in the game to speculate, butI believe she will strongly resonate with thesign of Virgo, as well as the great goddessesof agriculture, and the cyclical give-and-

take of hunting, growing and replenishment.Like the Black Virgins, whose milk is bothmiraculous and transforming, she also car-ries deep secrets of alchemical transmuta-tion. The icy depths of Sedna’s realm containthe paradox of the divine feminine in all cul-tures which is seen as both giver of life anddestroyer. Like the Hindu Shakti, she is thepower itself, and the path is learning towield that power.

With another nod toward the magic ofmyth and symbolism, astrologer PhilipSedgwick informed me that Sedna is tran-siting 18 degrees (plus something) ofTaurus. In a lovely synchronicity, the Sabian

symbol (visual representation), for this de-gree of the zodiac is “a new continent risingout of the ocean.” Here too is recognition ofa very different, and as yet unrecognized, re-ality.

Astrologically, the outer planets are saidto act like “higher octaves,” taking an arche-typal energy to a potentially expanded ex-pression of energy. Uranus, Neptune andPluto are the higher octaves of Mercury,Venus and Mars, respectively. In this vein,it’s tempting to see Sedna as a higher octaveof the Moon, with the potential to transmutethe earthly concerns of food, shelter andcaring for our young into a pursuit for spiri-tual sustenance searching for soul food.Seen this way, Sedna could open a previ-ously veiled gateway to eternity.

HEBREW PHARAOHS OF EGYPT AhmedOsman (“Moses and Akhenaten”) When Joseph revealedhis identity to his kinsmen who had sold him into slavery,he told them that God had made him “a father to Pha-raoh.” Throughout the long history of ancient Egypt, onlyone man is known to have been given the title “a father toPharaoh”—Yuya, a vizier of the eighteenth dynasty king,Tuthmosis IV. This sheds a whole new light on the suddenrise of monotheism in Egypt, spearheaded by Queen Tiyeand her son Akhenaten, clearly explaining the deliberateobliteration of references to the “heretic” king and hissuccessors by the last eighteenth dynasty pharaoh, Ho-remheb, whom the author believes was the oppressor kingin the Book of Exodus.

TEMPEST ANDEXODUS Ralph Ellis—Describes the dramatic dis-covery of large biblical quo-tation on an ancient Egyp-tian stele.

damental implications for both history and theology be-cause it explains why the Tabernacle and the Ark of theCovenant were constructed, why the biblical exodusstarted, where Mt. Sinai was located, who the god of theIsraelites was—indeed, it even explains exactly who the Is-raelites really were and thus why the Torah, Bible andKoran were written.

SOLOMAN, FALCON OF SHEBARalph Ellis—The most revolutionary analysis of the Ju-daeo-Christian religions ever written. The Queen ofSheba, King Soloman and King David are still householdnames in much of the world, so how is it possible thatthese influential monarchs cannot be found in the archae-ological record?

Join Ralph on a tour of Bib-lical history that at last contains real events, real lives andreal people.

TEMPLE AT JERUSALEM John Michell—Michell’s new revelation is that the Old City of Jerusalemcan be seen as one large temple, the original Temple ofKing Solomon.

TERRACOTTA WARRIORS Maurice Cotterell(“Tutankha-mun Prophecies” & “Lost Tomb of Vira-cocha”)—In his latest book, Cotterell shows how Shi Hu-angdi, the first emperor of unified China,—like the pha-raoh Tutankhamun, the Mayan lord Pacal, and Viracochain Peru—was a keeper of the sacred solar science of theancients, which taught that the soul was immortal andwas destined to transform into star energy or be rebornon Earth, depending on an individual’s spiritual progressin his or her lifetime. Using his unique understanding ofhow and why ancient civilizations encoded this extraordi-nary knowledge, Cotterell decodes the emperor’s farewellmessage concealed in the terracotta warriors.

TOMB OF GOD Richard Andrews & Paul Schellen-berger—The authors applied mathematical logic to theenduring mystery of Rennes-le-Chateau and the treasurealleged to buried there. Beginning with a healthy scepti-cism, they assumed the enigma would wither under scru-tiny. They combined their knowledge of archaeology, the-ology, geometry and surveying with plain common senseto produce an account of what they believe happened be-hind this most controversial of burials. The text asks whypeople went to such lengths to keep the truth under-ground, and as the nature of the treasure becomes ap-parent, the question appears to answer itself—the knowl-edge is dangerous, alarming, the greatest of heresies.

LIFE & SIGNIFICANCE OF GEORGEIVANOVITCH GURDJIEFF A Trilogy narrated byWilliam Patrick Patterson. This Trilogy won the GoldAward for Biography at the Worldfest International FilmFestival, one of the oldest and most prestigious.

PART 1 - GURDJIEFFIN EGYPT

Searching for the origin of es-oteric knowledge, Gurdjieff dis-covered the ancient teaching ofthe Fourth Way. While manyhave believed its source was Cen-tral Asia, William Patrick Pat-terson—by closely pondering theclues he left, combined with newevidence recently discovered—shows its origin was Egypt, onlyit was not, as Gurdjieff said, “theEgypt we know but one which wedo not know.” Patterson says thatwhat electrified Gurdjieff and changed his search wasseeing the Sphinx on the map of pre-sand Egypt. Duringhis exploration, Gurdjieff came to the conclusion that,“This prehistoric Egypt was Christian many thousands ofyears before the birth of Christ, that is to say, that its re-ligion was composed of the same principles and ideas thatconstitute true Christianity.”

VHS 60 min. $29.95

PART 2 - GURDJIEFF’SMISSION: Introducingthe Teaching to theWest

This is the first documentary todetail Gurdjieff’s relentlessstruggle to establish the ancientteaching of the Fourth Way in theWest. Once his Institute for theHarmonious Development of Manwas established in France, he thenrisked all in a make-or-break

gamble to take the teaching to America, for it was acountry, he said, which had “the largest percentage of be-ings in whose presences the possibility of acquiring Beingis not entirely lost.” Shot on site in St. Petersburg,Moscow, Constantinople, London, Paris and New York, itvividly portrays his enigmatic relationship with P. D. Ous-pensky, the little known St. Petersburg conditions, his useof “divine acting,” and his warning to J. G. Bennett about“too much intellectual knowledge.”

PART 3 - GURDJIEFF’SLEGACY: Establishing the

Teaching in the WestShot on site at the Prieure,

Paris, Avon, Mont St. Michel, Las-caux, Cannes, Monte Carlo,London, Lyne Place, New York,Mendham and New Haven, the doc-umentary details Gurdjieff’sstruggle to establish the ancientteaching of the Fourth Way in theWest. His life is traced from hisnear-fatal car crash in 1924 and theclosing of the Institute at the Prieure, to the writing of hisLegomonism, “All and Everything,” his work with theRope, through the meetings he held during the Nazi occu-pation of Paris, the return of his students after the war,his final trip to the caves of Lascaux and his death in 1949.

HOUSES OF MYSTERY: PYRAMIDSFor centuries, man has attempted to discover how and

why the pyramids were constructed, and recent evidencesuggests that these ancient and fascinating edifices maynot have been bult by the Egyptians at all. New theoriesindicate they may have been constructed by a superiorrace, perhaps as much as 3,000 years before the Egyptiansemerged as a world power. A large boat sat mysteriouslybefore the tomb of the pharaoh, Kufu. For thousands ofyears, the craft has been believed to be nothing more thana symbol of transition, waiting in silence for the return ofthe God-King. New scientific research reveals that therewas once water in the endless, barren desert, and an anal-ysis of Kufu’s boat proves conclusively that it has spenttime in the water.
