Graham Hancock Debunks Mainstream Science 

Graham Hancock and Robert Bauval, authors of the best selling book The Sphinx Mystery, present startling evidence from our ancient past. One of the most intriguing pieces of evidence pointing to a forgotten period of time in human history is a series of ancient maps which show extremely accurate details of the Earth from at least 12000 years ago.

The Orontius Phineas, Piri Reis, and Mercator map all show parts of the Earth that were only present during pre-deluvian times, as well as inexplicably accurate drawings of the topography of Antarctica. These drawings of what Antarctica looked like beneath the ice, could only have been achieved if ancient man had technology at least equal to what we have today.

Graham Hancock is one of the great adventurers, authors and visionaries of our time, and here he talks about his new book Entangled, about life as it was lived 24,000 years ago. Amazingly, this deeply channeled book paints a picture of the Neanderthals as loving beings that has only in October of 2010 been confirmed by science. Was Graham Hancock in touch with real people from the deep past while writing Entangled?)

“I was thinking how I got into all this from being a journalist working on The Economist. It actually happened because of repeated visits that I made to Ethiopia. And the claim that Ethiopia makes, to possess the lost Ark of The Covenant. This claim was ridiculed by scholars, but as I began to look into it, I found that it rests on very solid foundations and I ended up writing The Sign and The Seal.

And that book, the research on that book took me to Egypt. Because of course, the origins of The Ark of The Covenant lie in Egypt and in the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt. And when I went to Egypt and began looking into that civilisation, I realised that I was confronted with an extraordinary mystery. A mystery that Egyptologists had never satisfactorily explained and if they had tried to, their explanation certainly didn’t make sense to me.

I remember reading a book called Archaic Egypt by Professor Walter Emery, now deceased, but a great authority on his subject. And he drew attention to curious similarities between Ancient Sumerian civilisation in Mesopotamia and the archaic Egyptian civilisation. And while he could find no strong evidence of a direct influence of ancient Egypt on Sumer, or of Sumer on ancient Egypt, he found these similarities couldn’t be explained away as coincidence and he put forward an interesting hypothesis. He asked, what if an earlier, unidentified civilisation, a remote, third party civilisation had influenced both Egypt and Sumer, passed down a legacy to both of them, and what if the similarities between these two cultures were explained by that remote, common influence. And I thought this was a very interesting idea, and one worth pursuing further. In fact, it was, more than anything else, that seed planted by Professor Walter Emery, that led me to research and write Fingerprints of The Gods.

I could not have written that book at all, or developed in the direction that I have developed in, as a writer and researcher, if it hadn’t been for my partner and wife, Santa Feya, whose photographs we’re going to be looking at here. She has certainly been the most profound influence on my life and I did some bad stuff back in the 1980s which, when I look back on it, I regret it, but we have to live with our mistakes and I’m very grateful to Santa for putting me right.

Many other people I need to thank and without whom, Fingerprints could not have been written. Researchers, people working within the field of the mystery of the origins of civilisation over the last hundred years or so. Going back as far as Ignacius Donnelly who wrote Atlantis, The Antediluvian World in the 1880s. More recently, Professor Giorgio De Santayano of The Massachusetts Institute of Technology , now also deceased, did wonderful work on the astronomical content of ancient myths. The amazing discovery, that in some of the oldest myths, relating to global cataclysms, that have come down to us from remote pre history, that in those myths is found detailed astronomical information, relating to the phenomenon that I will later be discussing through this talk, known as Procession of The Equinoxes.

Professor Charles Hapgood whose crust displacement theory and whose work on ancient maps, again, provides a clue to this lost civilisation that exists way back in our past and I am quite sure that it does exist and what more recently, Rose --- who defined Charles Hapgood’s theories of earth crust displacement. And John Anthony West, a great man, who spent twenty years trying to draw the attention of Egyptologists to the erosional features of The Great Sphinx and the implications of that erosion. And of course my friend and colleague, Robert Bauval, with whom I have co-authored the new book, Keeper of Genesis.

Robert’s astronomical work on the Orion Correlation between the Pyramids and the three stars of Orion’s Belt, is in my view, the single most important breakthrough in this field, which has enabled the Pyramids mute for four and a half thousand years, to speak again and to speak in a comprehensible manner.

I don’t propose in this talk, that I am going to give on Fingerprints today, to go at all into the astronomical work that Robert and I present in Keeper of Genesis because Robert will be doing that when he talks about Keeper of Genesis.

But take it from me. The astronomy is really the key to this whole mystery. It’s the way that some ancient people, long ago, far more sophisticated and civilised than our historians would ever give credit for, found a way to communicate with the future, a way to wake up dormant memories in all of us. Memories of that great golden age of ‘mankind’ that is recorded in all our ancient myths.

I’ll start this talk by looking at just a few similarities, a few connections, bearing in mind what I said about Walter --- and the theory of a remote third party civilisation. Let’s extend that out from the middle east and Sumer and let’s look at connections between Egypt and the Americas. Similarities that are ignored by scholars and are not explained by them.

One issue concerns the face of The Great Sphinx. Robert and I are of the view, along with many of our colleagues that the head of The Sphinx was re-carved by the Dynastic Egyptians. That the monument is many thousands of years older than the beginning of historic Egyptian civilisation. And that it was probably originally lion headed as well as lion bodied. And that that heavily eroded millennially ancient leonine head was recarved into the face of a god by the early pharaohs of Egypt. Perhaps at around 2500 BC, when Egyptologists think that the monument was actually created.

What I want to draw attention to here is really a small point. It’s pretty clear and well established that we are looking at the face of an African individual here. An African head. And I’d like to compare that with this African head which is roughly the same size as the head of The Sphinx. It’s an enormous piece of sculpture. When you stand beside it, it towers above you and it weighs about forty tonnes. The only problem with this African head is that it doesn’t come from Africa at all. It comes from the Gulf of Mexico. And indeed, was disinterred from the oldest archaeological strata in the Gulf of Mexico, in which it had been deliberately buried, at around 1300 or 1400 BC. We can say that it was buried then, because organic material found alongside it, has been carbon dated to that period.

But I suspect that the scholars may be making a mistake, when they attribute this so called Olmec head, the construction, the carving of the head, to that same period of say, 1400 BC. It’s a mistake in logic, to assume that the head dates from the same period as the organic material that was buried with it. It’s equally possible that it could have been a vastly ancient heirloom, a venerated treasure that was passed down over thousands of years, until the time when this mysterious Olmec civilisation was supposed to be the mother culture of central America, also venerated it and buried it. I am intrigued by the similarities of features between the face of The Sphinx and the face of this head.

And by the way, we know nothing at all about the Olmecs, not a single Olmec skeleton has ever been found. It’s just a name that is applied to them. They’re one of those mysterious high civilisations of antiquity, the origins of which are quite unknown. This also is an Olmec artefact, whoever the Olmecs were.

And again, just on this theme of light similarities, I’d like to draw attention to the headdress that the figure is wearing. And to compare it with this headdress from Egypt. This is a fifth dynasty statue found at Sakara and I’m intrigued by the similarity of the headdress, because we’re looking at cultures that are not supposed to have been in contact at all. Fifth dynasty, Egypt in 2300 BC and the Olmecs in 1400 BC or perhaps much earlier than that. So how do such similarities come about? Is it just a coincidence? Was there a contact between these two areas at that time or could we be looking at the influence of a remote third party civilisation?

Bushmal in the Yukata. This piece of sculpture and it’s associated with the Maya and as you can see, it’s a double feline figure, two Puma or leonine animals, back to back. Again, we find a very similar device in ancient Egyptian iconography. Two lions back to back. Often, joined at the hip, two lion sphinxes back to back as here on this stellar that stands between the paws of The Sphinx. They were called the Akaru (?), the gods of yesterday and today and this device of placing two felines back to back, again in my book, is too similar to the device found amongst the Maya, to be written off entirely as a coincidence. 

Here, we’re looking at a piece of architecture from the Inca area. What I want to draw attention to here is the way the block wraps around the corner. This is a supposedly Inca wall, north of Cusco (?) in Peru. And the blocks form a kind of L shape as they wrap around the corner. An unusual architectural device. We find exactly the same method of cornering in the valley temple that stands next door to The Great Sphinx of Giza. 

A method of joining two blocks of stone together. This photograph was taken at Tiwanaku in Bolivia, in the high Andes, and Tiwanaku is a very mysterious city and I’ll be touching on it in a few moments. What I want to draw attention to here is this imprint of a metal bar, which once joined these two blocks together. Of course, the metal bar has long been since removed, vandalised, melted down, but this particular form of architecture is not found anywhere else in the Americas but it is found in Egypt....Feli, here at Dendara in Upper Egypt. The same method of joining stone blocks together. 

And here we’re on the island of Suriki in Bolivia on Lake Titicaca. Looking at a traditional method of boat design. It’s one of the few places on Lake Titicaca where these boats are still built. These reed boats with high curving prows and according to local tradition, the design of these boats was brought to the Andes by ‘the gods’. By the Viracocha as they were called. Gods who were remembered as being tall and pale skinned and bearded. Who’d come from across the sea to south America in a time of turmoil and darkness after a great catastrophe. And who had brought with them, this kind of boat design and many many other skills, advanced skills of civilisation. 

I’d like to compare this high prowed boat with this design from ancient Egypt, the so called solar boat of Khufu, which was found buried beside the great pyramid of Egypt, off its southern face. It’s much bigger than the boats on the Andes but the design is eerily similar. And this design has been studied by marine experts and what they’ve concluded is rather interesting. They conclude that although the materials used both in the Egyptian boats and in the Andean boats are not suitable for sailing on the open seas. The design that is incorporated in these boats could only have been evolved by a people with a long and solid tradition of Oceanic navigation. People who needed boats that could cut through high waves and breakers and the suggestion is, could this design be a very ancient legacy that was passed down and received, both by the Egyptians and by the peoples of the Andes, and expressed in the kinds of boats that they made. 

In both areas, such boats are associated with the gods. They called their gods the Niteru and they said they come from a land, far away, a land called ---- across vast expanses of ocean, so whoever they have been, these gods above all else were navigators and seafarers, and navigators and seafarers need maps if they’re going to sail around the earth. 

Now this map is a modern map....equidistant projection, centred near Cairo, and in common with all modern maps, it incorporates a number of advanced features. It incorporates highly accurate longitudes, and particularly, relative longitudes. And it incorporates an advanced map projection. It isn’t easy to represent a spherical object, the earth, on a flat piece of paper, and to do so with a considerable degree of accuracy. And this is a problem that cartographers had to come to terms with. So we find good map projections which require advanced mathematics and good relative longitudes. 

Interestingly enough, there’s a category of ancient map, which also shows these modern features, which doesn’t fit with the received view of the development of human history. One of the most famous of these maps is the Piri Reis map, and I’m showing it here because I want to compare the projection of this map, with the projection here, centered on Cairo. Notice the west coast of Africa and the east coast of South America. And coming down here to the Antarctic peninsula, coming up to the south of South America. It’s that precise projection that we find on this 1513 map, again, there’s the west coast of Africa, the east coast of South America, and coming down here, we find a representation of the northern Antarctica peninsular. In 1513, when Piri Reis drew the map, Antarctica had not been discovered. In fact it wasn’t discovered until 1818 by our civilisation. So there, immediately, is one anomaly on this map. Another anomaly is the mathematics used in the map projection and the third anomaly is that it incorporates highly accurate longitudes. 

To do longitudes accurately on maps requires a chronometer, that will keep accurate time at sea, and again, this was something that our civilisation couldn’t do until the late 18th century. So this map, fragmentary as it is, appears to incorporate many features that are not supposed to have been known about in 1513. Piri Reis explains why in these texts that he wrote on the map. He was a Turkish admiral and he wrote these texts on the map and what they say is that the map is not his own work. It’s a work of synthesis. It’s based on more than 20 earlier source maps. That he put all these maps together and derived his own map from these. 

And unfortunately the source maps that Piri Reis used have not survived. Is it possible that the advanced features of this map originate in those lost source maps? Which Piri Reis told us, went back, in some cases to before the time of Christ and had come from the long lost library of Alexandria in Egypt. 

Another strange thing about the appearance of Antarctica on this map – it’s been studied by US Air Force cartographers and their view is that what we’re actually seeing there is the sub glacial topography of Antarctica. Antarctica as it looks underneath the ice that now covers it and this raises the question, how long has Antarctica been covered with a two mile thick ice cap? That we now presently see on it. Such questions would be irrelevant, if there were no other maps in this category. 

If the Piri Reis map stood alone, the most sensible thing would be to dismiss it as a coincidence, but it doesn’t stand alone. Hundreds of other maps have incorporated the same information....our civilisation had not yet acquired that information. 

.... Mercator projection, still dominates most atlases today. It’s a sixteenth century map and.....again, based on earlier, again incorporated....so also, The Orontius Finaeus map, that we’re looking at here. Another sixteenth century map, Mercator included in one of his atlases and here we see Antarctica looking a bit different, the mountains clearly visible along the coast and rivers running down from those mountains, in places where great glaciers are known to run today. 

It looks as though on this map, though, that Antarctica is partially de-glaciated, with the centre of the continent that appears to be featureless and ice covered, but the coast is showing these unglaciated features, what might that mean. This is a map by Philippe Guasch, an eighteenth century geographer, still a good hundred years before the discovery of Antarctica. And it shows the continent as a kind of ...two land masses divided by a clear waterway running between them. I wonder where he got that idea from. 

As a re-drawing of the Mercator map and the Orontius Finaeus map and the Guasch map and here to the right, based on seismic surveys conducted in...geophysical year in 1958 is a view of what Antarctica actually looks like. Underneath all that ice that now covers it. We’re looking at the sub glacial landscape of Antarctica here. And while I wouldn’t claim for a moment that the Guasch map is a perfectly accurate representation of the sub glacial topography of Antarctica, I think it’s much too close to the reality to be dismissed entirely. 

I think that much more research needs to be done into these anomalous early maps. And into the source maps that they rely upon for their information, because we may just be looking at the faint fingerprints of a lost civilisation, of a navigating, sea faring navigation, that explored and mapped the entire globe, long before what we call history began. 

The issue of the glaciations of Antarctica is a controversial one. Most scholars would say that it has been covered with ice in the form that we see it today for several millions of years. But there is some contradictory evidence. Deep sea cores, which bring up oils from the ocean bed, that suggest that rivers carrying fine grain sediments were indeed, running down the coastline of Antarctica, until about ten thousand years ago. Maybe, that’s the period we should be looking at. Maybe something happened in the world around then, that we don’t fully understand. And in my view, this whole mystery is intimately connected to the last mystery of the last ice age. And what an ice age is, and why the last ice age came suddenly and traumatically to an end. At around 12 or 14000 years ago. 

You have ice sheets, six million square miles of ice covering northern Europe, two miles thick, as far south as London. You have a similar mass of ice covering much of northern America, as far south as the Mississippi Delta, almost into the tropics. This ice is stable for a hundred thousand years and then almost suddenly, in the blink of an eye, it all melts. Within just a thousand or two thousand years, it’s all gone. Sea levels have gone up by four hundred feet around the world and hundreds of animal species have been rendered extinct. No complete explanation for why the last ice age came so suddenly and dramatically to an end has ever been offered by orthodox scholarship. 

There are clear correlations with astronomical events, including interestingly, The Precession of the Equinoxes, which I’ll be talking about later. Interestingly, because many of the ancient myths of global cataclysm, that I’ve analysed in, in Fingerprints of the Gods incorporate precise information on Precession. It’s almost as if they are trying to tell us, that there’s a connection between Precession and the ending of ice ages. And lo and behold, we’ve known for the last twenty years, that there is a connection between Precession and the end of ice ages. It’s a correlation. We don’t know what causes this ending of the ice age. I think that this is the period that should be looked at by scholars. 

This is the period that deserves much more detailed research than it’s had. A period in which something awful happened to the earth, something that brought about a dramatic, tumultuous change. A period in which the face of the earth was almost wiped clean. And a period in which it’s perfectly possible, perfectly reasonable to suppose that a high human civilisation could have been almost entirely obliterated. Leaving only a few survivors and only a few traces of itself for us to wonder at in later times. 

Well, there is the earth and that’s the extended north pole of the earth, pointing at the star Polaris in the constellation of Ursa Minor. That is our pole star in the present time. Because of the phenomenon of Precession, which causes the earth to wobble, very very slowly in a cycle of 25920 years, the pole star gradually changes. It will not always be Polaris and it has not always been Polaris, but it’s a very slow change, about one degree every 72 years, not noticeable in a human lifetime. It also affects the position of all the other stars in the star field. 

And if you can establish that a monument is aligned astronomically or incorporates astrological symbolism, it’s possible to use Precession to date that monument. And we think that the ancients who left their fingerprints around the world, used the phenomenon of Precession as a deliberate way of communicating information about themselves to the future, and I’ll be touching on that a little bit in this talk and Robert will be doing much more in the talk on Keeper of Genesis that he’ll be giving after me. 

This site, Machu Picchu in Peru, is an extraordinary piece of landscape gardening on a gigantic scale. It’s dated by orthodox archaeology to around five hundred years ago. It’s possible that it’s much older than that. I won’t go into the details here but astronomers have studied the alignments of some of the features of Machu Picchu and they’ve concluded that these were laid out thousands and thousands of years earlier, than the orthodox dating of the site. 

Another aspect that these sites have, in addition to intriguing astronomical alignments, is the use of enormous blocks of stone. We’re looking here at a wall in a place called Saxo Raman (?), near Cusco and the stone that I’m standing beside has been calculated to weigh 361 tonnes. In layman’s terms, that’s 500 Ford Sierra motor cars. It really beggars belief that this kind of work could have been done by a primitive people. To put together massive blocks of stone, weighing hundreds of tonnes each, to align them to the stars and to join them together in these curious jigsaw formations, requires amazing engineering and architectural skills, and I think that our historians and scholars tend to gloss over the implications of this much too easily. 

All around the world, there are monuments like these, undatable by any objective technique, because you can’t as I said earlier, carbon date, stone. Which bear the fingerprints of a high technology in remote antiquity. And if not a high technology, at any rate, a technology that we do not properly understand today. 

This is the Altiplano in Bolivia, in the high Andes and I’m showing this photograph, to show how sparsely populated the Altiplano is, how few people live there at an altitude of more than 12000 feet above sea level. It’s not the kind of terrain that can support large populations. Crops are grown, but they come out of the ground, stunted and the yield is extremely low. As a result, very few people live on the Altiplano today. And there’s a mystery in that, a problem in that, and it’s to do with the city of Tiwanaku, which stands on the Altiplano, at an altitude of 12500 feet above sea level. Here’s a bit of Tiwanaku, called the Pumapunku. And it consists of absolutely enormous blocks of stone. I mean they are just unimaginably large. 

This piece has been calculated to weigh 400 tonnes. And I can’t understand, I just don’t see it within orthodox historical explanation, how at this altitude above sea level, 12 and a half thousand feet, where you cannot grow crops to support a large population who could haul those large stones into place, and I don’t know if 400 tonne blocks could be hauled into place by anybody, how this could have been done at this altitude in this location. And why it was done. I think that the city of Tiwanaku is one of the most mysterious sites in the world. In a way, it’s The New World equivalent of Giza. It’s a site about which there are far more questions than answers, and a site about which the dating needs to be seriously re-examined. 

The dating of Tiwanaku by orthodox archaeologists has for a long time been set around 500 AD. Just about 1500 years ago. Although more recently, there are some archaeologists working in the area who have daringly set to push that date back, and there are a few who have stuck their neck out and said that Tiwanaku may go as far back as 2000 BC. The difference of opinion amongst the scholars in itself shows how little we know about this site. The conventional view, of 500 AD is based on the classical study by Professor Max Uhul (?) who’s always cited as the great authority on Tiwanaku. I was surprised to discover that his influential book on Tiwanaku had been written, without him ever having found the need to actually visit the site himself. Another scholar also worked on the site. Professor (Arthur) Posnansky from Lapaz University and he not only visited Tiwanaku, he lived there. He lived there for the best part of 50 years and he took very careful measurements of every aspect of the site. And he studied in particular, the astronomical alignment....

There’s another astrological phenomenon that can be used for dating monuments and called The Obliquity of the ecliptic (Earth's axial tilt). The axis of the earth is tilted and this tilt, though not many of us know it, changes very slowly like that...slow cycle of about 41000 years and the effect of the changing of obliquity is to cause the sunrise...the longest and shortest days of the year to change very slowly along the horizon. If you had established that certain structures were aligned to a solsticial rising of the sun, by a people who were normally extremely accurate in what they did, and if that alignment is out, it’s suggestive of an older date for the site. (Arthur) Posnansky, to howls of derision, from his fellow scholars, pointed out that the solsticial alignments of certain monuments in Tiwanaku were out. And when he – he calculated the times when those alignments would have been perfectly exact – he came to around 12000 years ago....and he suggested that Tiwanaku may be the oldest city in the world.....12000 or more years ago. Of course his view is not accepted. It is universally ridiculed by our scholars, and yet there are aspects of the Tiwanaku site, that strongly support the notion that that it is ancient. 

One of them is this monument, known as The Gateway of The Sun. All these names that are given to structures at Tiwanaku are entirely arbitrary because we know nothing about the people who built Tiwanaku. When the Spanish first arrived in the Andes, they asked the Incas, ‘did you build these monuments?’ And the Incas laughed. They said, ‘no way! We didn’t build these monuments. These monuments were built thousands of years ago by the gods’. Well, such ideas are considered to be whimsy by our scholars and yet they may not be whimsy. Let’s have a look on the reverse of The Gateway of The Sun. And what I want to draw attention to here, is this feature, this frieze that is carved on the reverse of The Gateway of The Sun and this particular aspect of it here. I don’t think I am hallucinating. I think I am looking at two large ears, a trunk, two eyes, and two tusks. In other words, I think I’m looking at the face of some sort of elephant. If I am looking at the face of some sort of elephant, then there’s a real problem with the dating of this site, because there have not been any elephant like creatures in The New World for a very long time. 

In fact, you have to go back to around 10000 BC, around 12000 years ago, to find a creature that fits that bill. And that creature. Here’s a biological reconstruction drawing of it, was called Cuvieronius. It was one of those great Ice Age mammals that became extinct suddenly and dramatically at the end of the last Ice Age. Could we be looking at a drawing, a carving of Cuvieronius done from life, long before history began. 

And here, another ancient piece of stone from Tiwanaku, very faded, very worn down, but let’s trace out this figure that appears on it. There’s the two hind legs, there’s the two front legs, the open mouth, the uplifted snout, the ears, the curved back and the tail of an apparently unidentifiable species of mammal. It doesn’t look like any animal that runs around in the Andes today. But it does look very like an extinct mammal and that mammal was called Toxodon. There’s a biological reconstruction of Toxodon. And Toxodon, like Cuvieronius, became extinct at around 12000 years ago. And prior to that, had been found plentifully in the area of Tiwanaku. With these kind of carvings, and the astronomical dating done by Posnanski, I think there’s a prima facae case of complete re-examination of what Tiwanaku might really be and how old it might be. And what it might mean. 

And there is other evidence that points in that direction as well. We’re looking at Lake Tititicaca here and one of those reed boats. And Lake Tititicaca today is 12 miles away and a hundred feet lower than Tiwanaku, and yet, even orthodox archaeologists agree that Tiwanaku was built originally as a port on the shores of Lake Tititicaca. There’s massive harbour constructions to be found at Tiwanaku and there’s really no doubt that it was built as a port, so the question is how long does it take a lake like Lake Tititicaca to recede in depth by a hundred feet and 12 miles away from the edge of the city of Tiwanaku. 

I discussed this problem with geologists from the british geological survey working in that area. Oddly enough, they didn’t know about Tiwanaku, but they did know about Lake Tititicaca. And they told me that that amount of recession, that particular lake would have taken at least ten thousand years, so another science geology, is quite ... to a far greater antiquity to the city of Tiwanaku that is accepted by our scholars today. 

Finally from Tiwanaku, I want to draw attention to this figure. It’s assumed to be, and probably is, an image of that legendary god, Viracocha, who came with his demi gods, the Viracochas, to south America, long long ago. Who’s remembered in all those myths. Again, it’s a very worn piece of stone, but the goatee beard of this figure, this rather extravagant goatee beard, is quite easy to make out. That’s how Virachocha is described in all the legends. A tall, pale skinned, bearded figure. And his description does not fit in any way, the description of the indigenous inhabitants of that region. Indeed, the description of these Viracochas and the memory of them, was so strongly held in south America, that when the Spanish, the Pizaro arrived to loot and rape and destroy the cultures, to wipe clean the memory banks of mankind in south America, to our loss, I may add, they were not initially opposed. It was assumed that they were the Viracochas, returning and because the Viracochas had been remembered as good people, bringers of civilisation, it was mistakenly assumed that these European pirates were also good people and we now know they were not and they have cost us dear in south America, leaving us only fragmentary evidence to go by. 

Precisely the same problem occurred in central America, in Mexico. There, there was also a memory of a tall, pale skinned bearded god, who was called Questo --- . He too, had come from across the sea, in a time of darkness, in a boat that moved by itself, without paddles. He too, was remembered as a civilisation bringer and associated with the ending of a great flood. And in central America, as in south America, the Spanish, in that case, under Cortez, were again, initially welcomed, because they were assumed to be Questo Coatal (?) and his demi gods, returning. This memory of pale, bearded figures who do not look like central American Indians, is reflected in many stone carvings that are found in the earliest archaeological strata of central America. I’ll just show you a few of those bearded faces. Here from Monte Albán and here, a bearded figure with obviously not central American Indian features from the Olmec area along the Gulf of Mexico. This figure would be dated to at least to 1300 BC and may, on the same reasoning as those Olmec heads, be much older than that. There’s another bearded figure, again, from Monte Albán, and it’s precisely in these same, ancient, archaeological strata, that we find these African heads. 

The presence of African individuals in the oldest strata in central America and of bearded Caucasian looking figures in the oldest strata of central America and the fact that they are together in the same strata, cannot be explained by the orthodox theory of history, which has Europeans and Africans arriving in central America at the time of Columbus, and not before. 

This figure is from Chichen Itza in the Yucatán. It’s of a god called Shakmur (?) and it’s associated with the grisly rights of sacrifice that were practised throughout much of central America. The plate that Shakmur (?) is holding across his belly was for the reception of freshly butchered human hearts and the sacrificial victim would have approached this gruesome figure at the set of stairs here, would have been marched behind him, placed on an alter and taken back there and ritually murdered. 

I could never come to terms with this memory of human sacrifice in central America. It seems so out of --- with the many beautiful, serene aspects of central American culture...had to find out why it was...so savage in the sacrifice....the Aztecs would routinely sacrifice 8000 people every year. They believe that they were a chosen tribe with a Divine mission and that that mission was to prevent the end of the world. They believed that there had been four previous epochs of the earth, that they call the four previous suns and the last one, --- had been brought to an end by a tremendous, earth destroying, deluge, and the believed that we live in the fifth sun of the fifth epoch of the earth and that somehow, through a strange, distorted, reasoning, they felt that by offering up human blood and hearts to the sun, they might prevent or at any right, postpone this prophecied ending of the world in which we live. 

The practise of human sacrifice in central America was known as Pachi (?). And Pachi (?) means, to open the mouth. A high priest and four assistants participated in the ritual. A hard physical blow of course, was struck to the body of the sacrificial victim and it was believed that at the moment of death, his soul would rise directly to the heavens and become a star in the sky. Oddly enough, in ancient Egypt, Egypt of the Pharaohs, there was also a ceremony called ‘The Opening of the Mouth’. It was part of the funerary rituals of the Pharaoh. And it was conducted after his death, after his body had been mummified. A high priest and four assistants participated. A hard physical blow was struck to the mummified body of the Pharaoh and after the completion of ‘The Opening of the Mouth’ ceremony, it was believed that the soul of the Pharaoh, would rise directly to the heavens and become a star in the sky. 

Are we looking at just another amazing coincidence here? Or is it possible that an explanation for these eerie similarities can be found in the notion of a remote, third party ancestral civilisation, which influenced both Egypt and its ideas and central America and its ideas. Which passed down a common legacy to both places, a legacy that was perhaps used very differently in both of those places, but which still retained through thousands of years certain common features, particularly this notion of the opening of the mouth and the stellar destiny of the soul. 

The Maya who built this monument, this is the pyramid of ----- or Kukukan, as he was known in Yucatán in Chichen Itza, were an astonishing civilisation and perhaps their greatest achievement or it’s thought until recently, to have been their greatest achievement was their calendar system. The Mayan Calendar. We know now that the Olmecs, those mysterious predecessors of the Maya used precisely the same calendar. So it’s clear that the Maya inherited it from the Olmecs and is it possible that the Olmecs inherited it from an even earlier and higher civilisation? Long lost to history. This is a calendar that incorporates a more accurate length of the solar year than we use in our Gregorian calendar today. It’s based on precise and extremely careful, long term astronomical observation of the heavens, of the heavens, observations that that focus amongst other things on the Synodic return of the planet Venus. And measured that extremely precisely. It’s the work of master astronomers. It’s this calendar, the Olmec or Mayan calendar, which most thoroughly enshrines the notion of recurrent destructions of the earth. That we live in great cycles and that each cycle will sooner or later, come to an end. And end the world in which we live. 

And like the Aztecs, the Maya people --- and that we still live in the fifth epoch. The fifth sun. But unlike the Aztecs, the Maya through their calendar, were able to calculate exactly when the fifth epoch of the earth would come to an end. When we translate their calendar into our calendar, we find that they are telling us that all civilisation will be ended by a great movement of the earth on the 23rd December, 2012 AD. 

I promise that I’m not running up and down Oxford Street in a sandwich board, crying that the end of the world is nigh. I still hope that the end of the world is not nigh. I would like my children and all our children to have a bright and happy future, in this garden of experience that we call the earth. And the opportunity to learn and to grow and face challenges just as we have all done.

But I don’t think that we should write off the warnings that have come down to us from the past, as though they certainly have no meaning. Because these warnings have come down to us from wise people. People, whose origins we really do not understand, and I’d just like to mention in passing, that all of these warnings also say something else. They say that the destruction of the world is not entirely an act of God or nature. In some mysterious manner, we ourselves are always involved in it. We ourselves, through our actions, through our cruelty, through our materialism, play a role in the destruction of our environment. 

And when I look around the world today, at the force of evil that is rampant in the world, the destruction, the murder, the murder of children, the cruelty, the awful things that human beings do to each other, using one another as though they are just objects, I can’t help getting an eerie shiver of apprehension at that Mayan prophecy, that the end of our civilisation may indeed come before too long. Maybe it’s not too late, maybe we can do something about it, maybe we can wake up to the spiritual desert that we’ve created on this planet and look to who and what we really are, and if we’re going to do that, I’m convinced that we have to go back to the ancient wisdom and listen to the voices of the past and listen to that accumulated experience and knowledge of mankind that we so blithely write off, just because we imagine that we are the apex and pinnacle of creation. If civilisations rise and fall, mankind has climbed more than once to the pinnacle that we’ve reached today. And all of this is entirely, entirely possible. 

The people who made this monument had an amazing knowledge of astronomy, because this monument is what’s called an equinoxial marker. Every year on the spring equinox, the figure of a gigantic feathered serpent is seen to undulate up and down this stairway, for a little bit over three hours. It’s an illusion of light and shadow. But it’s a trick that is achieved by the precise geodetic positioning of this monument. These are a people who had observed the heavens very very closely and had a science of positioning monuments on the ground, so that they would signal particular moments of the year. No mean feat and not something we should regard as the work of primitives. 

We’re looking at the great city of Teotihuacan in Mexico, just thirty five miles from Mexico City airport. Richard Hogland (?) in his talk, earlier on, referred repeatedly to the importance of latitude 19.5 degrees north. Perhaps it should come as no surprise that Teotihuacan stands on latitude 19.5 degrees north. It’s an extraordinary and mysterious place. Very little is known about it. It’s thought to be about 2000 years old. It was already vastly ancient when the Aztecs came across it, overgrown and in ruins. And they, attaching to a thread of ancient tradition, gave it the name, Teotihuacan. And Teotihuacan means ‘the place, where men became gods’. 

Somehow, there’s a suggestion that these pyramids, The Pyramid of The Sun here and The Pyramid of The Moon, as they are arbitrarily called, were connected or involved in a process that led to the spiritualisation of human beings. 

And hold that thought, because precisely the same idea is connected to the pyramids of Egypt. Far off Egypt. Mexican tourists looking down the so called, Way of The Dead, from The Pyramid of The Moon at Teotihuacan. The Way of The Dead has recently been researched by Archaeo – astronomers, and they’ve concluded that it’s a terrestrial diagram of The Milky Way. The Milky Way on the ground. Also, interestingly, because in the ancient Egyptian system of ideas, as Robert will be explaining in much more detail later, The River Nile was seen as the terrestrial counterpart of The Milky Way. The winding water way in the sky. 

And the closer look at The Pyramid of The Sun. It’s base is almost identical in length to the base of The Great Pyramid of Egypt, but it’s height is a little bit shorter. But both monuments have a number of things in common, in addition to their pyramidial shape. And what they have most in common is the mathematical value, Pi. Pi is a little bit over 3.14 and it’s the formula that we need to use, in order to calculate the circumference of any circle or sphere from its radius. We know the radius of a circle. All we have to do is multiply it by two Pi and we’ll get a precise print out of the circumference. 

In this case, if you take the height of The Pyramid of The Sun, and multiply it by four Pi, you get an exact printout of the perimeter of the base. Which is odd, because the central American peoples are not supposed to have had any knowledge of such --- mathematical --- as Pi. ------ yet Pi (oh, how fascinating, just as Graham Hancock enters scientific proof, the audio of this youtube version of his lecture just happens to lose sound. I will find the information in his written work of course, but oh, how fascinating and convenient) ---- one of the many functions of this monument was to serve as a mathematical scale model of the northern hemisphere of the earth. 

And the reason that we think that, is the scale used. This monument, to use one of Richard Hogan’s phrases, KNOWS WHERE IT IS ON THE PLANET, KNOWS WHAT IT IS. I’ll try and explain why. 

(oh, and here we go again, the mysterious and sudden loss of sound) --- the earth’s orbit around the sun, which astronomers call the ecliptic --- 12 constellations, 12 constellations of the zodiac. Because of this phenomenon of Precession, the background constellation against which the sun is seen to rise at dawn --- slightly earlier. It’s a difference of one degree every 72 years. The effect of this is, that the ruling astronomical sign, the ruling constellation of the zodiac houses the sun on the spring equinox --- and it takes 2160 years exactly for the sun to pass entirely through one sign of the zodiac. That’s what the old song is, living in the dawn of the age of aquarius ---- 2160 and you multiply it by 20, you get ----. We think that it was very deliberate ---- because their mathematical model of the earth was keyed in to the earth itself by the scale used. Keyed in to the characteristic signature of the earth. The rate of Precession of its axis. 43200 being connected mathematically to the rate of Precession. 

The intention was that in a future time, an astronomically literate civilisation would be able to work out the CLEVERNESS that went into the design of this monument. What those ancient pyramid builders could not reckon with, was that the site would be monopolised for 150 years by a group of INTELLECTUAL BARBARIANS, called Egyptologists.  Who cannot accept under any circumstances that any intelligent behaviour of this sort could have been connected to the last surviving wonder of the ancient world. I’m standing on top of the great pyramid here and that means I’m standing on latitude 30. The Great Pyramid stands precisely one third of the way between the Equator and the North Pole. Egyptologists know this but again, they regard it as an accident. So many accidents are called for by their theory of history but I think it’s seriously time we question that theory and stop blindly accepting it. 

This monument weighs six million tonnes. Six million tonnes and its sides are perfectly orientated to the cardinal directions. The north face of The Great Pyramid faces directly towards the north pole of the earth. The deviation is just three sixtieths of a single degree. By the way, the deviation of the Meridian building, the Greenwich Observatory in London is nine sixtieths of a degree. This monument is more precisely aligned to true north, than the Greenwich Observatory in London. This monument is the work of master astronomers and master engineers and master surveyors, the work of brilliance and genius, a work that we should all stand before in awe, not with any certainties but with open minds and open hearts. Above all else, Giza is a sacred place. It’s a place of mystery and magic, a place that works on the imagination. A place that generates questions to those who do approach it with humility and with an open mind. 

We’re looking a cross section of The Great Pyramid here, along its Meridian axis, north to south. And as you can see, it’s plentifully equipped with shafts and chambers and galleries and narrow corridors. All of these features are engineering marvels. To create this sort of internal structure, in a monument on that scale, is an unbelievably difficult task. Let’s take a quick tour around The Great Pyramid. We’ll start by going down the descending corridor and then I’ll take you to The Queen’s Chamber and The Grand Gallery and finally, The King’s Chamber. But before I do so, I just want to mention a little bit about these four shafts. The southern shaft of the so called Queen’s Chamber was found in 1933, to have a little door at the end of it. The shaft is eight inches wide and eight inches high and was explored with a high tech robot camera in 1983, and as soon as that door was discovered, the search into the shaft was stopped in a most sinister and extraordinary manner. And at the end of our presentations, Robert and I will be presenting to you the latest information for what is happening concerning that door, and also concerning the chamber beneath The Great Sphinx of Egypt. 

Very disturbing things indeed are happening at Giza today and we want to tell you about this but we’ll come to that later. Let’s take a quick look around The Great Pyramid now. We’ll start by going down the descending corridor. The descending corridor is perfectly straight. In fact, it doesn’t vary a quarter of an inch. It’s entirely straight along its entire 50 foot length. It’s three feet, five inches high and three feet, five inches wide. And at the bottom of it, we find the subterranean chamber. So called. Now, Egyptologists have a theory about this chamber and everything is theory where The Great Pyramid is concerned, because the monument is un ---. There’s nothing really in it which tells us what the chambers are for. It’s all theory. The Egyptological theory about this subterranean chamber is based on its unfinished appearance. These fins of rock that we find at the western end and the generally rough look of it. 

What they want us to believe is that after quarrying out more than two thousand tonnes of rock, from that perfectly straight, descending corridor, and painstakingly removing them from the bedrock under The Great Pyramid, and after having finally got down here, more than a hundred feet below the base of The Great Pyramid. And having started to carve out this chamber from the bedrock, those whimsical ancient Egyptians at the last minute just changed their minds and decided to go no further, because the Egyptological theory is that this was originally intended to be the burial chamber of Khufu, the Pharaoh who they THINK the pyramid was built for. 

So those ancient Egyptian builders, after doing all that incredibly precise work, well they just changed their minds and they decided to stick the body of the Pharaoh somewhere else in The Great Pyramid. Actually the body of the Pharaoh has never been found in The Great Pyramid. The Great Pyramid was found to be completely empty when it was first opened by the Arabs in the ninth century. And we think that this unfinished burial chamber routine, excuse me, is a load of bollocks. It’s just absolute nonsense. 

These people knew exactly what they were doing. Everything they did had a purpose. You stand down in The Subterranean Chamber, you can hear somebody sing in The King’s Chamber, 250 feet above you, through all that mass of solid rock. The acoustic effects of this monument are extraordinary. 

And one thing that our friend, John Anthony West has suggested and I think it’s a damn sight better than the theory of Egyptologists, is that what they were actually doing with this chamber was TUNING the pyramid. That they were tuning its acoustic effects. And when they had extracted precisely the right amount of rock, from under the pyramid, to hit PRECISELY the right note that they wanted, that’s when they stopped. That’s why it looks unfinished. It’s not unfinished at all. It was fulfilling a plan, a function and everything about this site is planned. As Robert will be discussing in more detail when he comes to discuss our book, Keeper of Genesis. 

This is the so called Queen’s Chamber. We have to use these phrases, so called, because all these attributions are arbitrary in this anonymous monument. And there, in the southern wall of The Queen’s Chamber, that dark path is the opening to the southern shaft. And it was into that dark place, that that little robot was inserted in 1983, and after a journey of 200 feet, it reached that mysterious door that we will be talking about later. 

From The Queen’s Chamber, we find ourselves in The Grand Gallery. It’s a 153 feet long and 20 feet high. It’s a corbel vault, each level of stone is laid a little bit closer to the central line than the layer beneath it. And it bears around it, millions of tonnes of pyramid. Remember that this is a monument that’s at least 4 and a half thousand years old. I’m sure quite a few people in this room have been inside it. And have walked up that grand gallery. It can be a little bit claustrophic but one thing you’re sure of, when you’re in there. You’re safe. 

It’s like modern, ‘gehry’ building, where buildings fall down after 30 years. This is a work of architectural grandeur on an amazing scale, of architectural brilliance, to create a monument on this size and scale with a wonderful gallery in the heart of it, in the midst of an earthquake zone. There was a very bad earthquake there in 1992. It didn’t touch The Great Pyramid at all. It caused massive disasters in Cairo but the pyramids were unhurt by it. So again, we’re looking at the works of geniuses, when we look at architecture like this. 

We come to the top of The Grand Gallery and you find yourself in the SO CALLED Kings Chamber, where Egyptologists assume on no evidence, that the body of Khufu, that fourth dynasty Pharaoh was buried. 

We have to allow this chamber to speak for itself. And the way that it speaks is through the language of mathematics. It’s a perfect 2 x 4 rectangle for example. It’s 34 feet, four inches in length and 17 feet, two inches in width. The half diagonal of the floor is equivalent directly, to the height of the chamber. So it’s a sort of mathematical symphony in stone. And the stone used by the way is granite. Which is interesting, because there is no granite in the area of The Giza Pyramids. The pyramid, the main body of the pyramid is made of local limestone, but the granite came from far away. 

The nearest granite is 500 miles to the south and this pink granite came from Aswan in Upper Egypt. There are precisely one hundred blocks making up the wall of The Kings Chamber. And some of those tonnes weigh as much as 70 tonnes each. Brought 500 miles from the south and then raised 250 feet above the ground. 

Supposedly by technological primitives. Does it make sense? I don’t think it makes sense. Again, we’re looking at a work of genius here. 

Now then, there I am in the supposed sarcophagus of Khufu. I mean no irreverence to Khufu, but I don’t think he was ever buried in this supposed sarcophagus. I don’t think it’s a sarcophagus at all. Robert and I have studied the meaning and the purpose of the pyramids in great depth, in our new book, Keeper of Genesis and we think – and there’s a great deal of evidence for it and whatever else they were, these monuments were used by many Pharaohs in an amazing initiation ceremony that cultivated the power of knowledge in their minds and the spiritual dimension of their lives and everything suggests that this plane --- box at the western end of the anonymous chamber, high up in the body of The Great Pyramid, was the culminating point of this initiation ceremony, when the Pharaoh sought in his mind to go beyond death, to reach out for the life of millions of years that are spoken of in the ancient Egyptian texts. 

What I actually want to draw attention to here, is the WAY that this box was made. Granite is a very hard stone as many of us are aware. And anybody who’s ever worked stone will know that you cannot cut granite with proper tools. And the ancient Egyptians of the Pyramid age are supposed to have just become familiar with copper. More interestingly than that, it’s become clear that this box and many other granite artefacts like it were not made by using abrasive drills but by using abrasion sand to gradually wear away the granite. 

They were made with tubular drills. A drill in the form of a tube which cut down into the granite and then the drill core was knocked out with a hammer and then another tubular drill was brought down inside it and another drill core was created and then that was knocked out. And so on and so forth. The first real study of this was done by a great Egyptologist, --- Petry (?). At the turn of the century. And he found many granite drill cores lying around Giza and at other sites in Egypt and he did a close examination of these drill cores. You can learn a lot from a drill core. Because the tooth marks of the drill are still embedded in it. 

And what he learnt, really disturbed him. Because this was a man with a very orthodox conclusions about the origin and nature of the Egyptian civilisation. And yet he couldn’t explain this. When he analysed those cut marks in the drill cores, he found that these tubular drills had been descending into the granite with a pressure of more than two tonnes being applied to them from above. 

Now, how do you do that with copper into granite? How do you apply a two tonne pressure without the whole mechanism buckling and failing to do the job? It just can’t be explained in the orthodox view of history. 

A colleague of ours, Chris Dunn, who’s a machine tool maker from ---- in the United States has been re-examining these drill cores quite recently and he’s come to an astounding conclusion which I’ll simply report to you without going further than that. His analysis of the cut marks suggest that whatever drills these people were using, were cutting into the granite, five hundred times faster than modern power drills. I prefer the opinion of a machine tool maker to the opinion of an Egyptologist when it comes to drilling matters and I think that Chris Dunn’s views on this deserve further consideration. 

This is the so called Burial Chamber of Menkara, the third of the supposed three Pharaohs who built the three great pyramids of Giza. The Pyramid of Menkara is the smallest of the three great pyramids, although it’s still well over two hundred feet tall. 

If we are to follow Egyptological logic, then we must conclude that this chamber was built by a certain B Wilson. That this is not The Pyramid of Menkara, it’s the pyramid of B Wilson. And the reason we have to conclude that is because they apply that logic to the single piece of writing that was found inside The Great Pyramid of Egypt. Above The King’s Chamber, there are four so called, ---- chambers and in those, some graffiti was found. Very crudely daubed graffiti. And some of that graffiti bears the name Khufu. And also another name, Khnum-Khufu...drowning men leaping at straws, Egyptologists have concluded that because that graffiti is there, it means that The Great Pyramid was built by Khufu. 

I don’t think that a little piece of graffiti in a chamber hidden away inside The Great Pyramid is a very solid piece of evidence to attribute such an important monument to a particular Pharaoh. As a matter of fact, those graffiti may well have been a forgery. 

But even if they aren’t forgeries, it’s just not enough for us to attribute the monument to Khufu on the basis of such slim evidence. Where B Wilson wrote his name, we see a curved roof. It’s a sort of barrel vault and these are granite blocks that form the ceiling and they were hollowed out from underneath. It doesn’t look very prepossessing but when you get above it, you begin to realise the construction problems that were involved in making this roof. There I am on the top end of those ceiling beams. This is how they look above, and I want to make clear that there’s no way that these blocks were lowered down from above, because this is an entirely subterranean chamber. And the only way it can be reached is through a long corridor system that finally culminates in the chamber. So all these blocks were brought in through that long corridor system. 

They weigh 20 tonnes each. And as you can see, there’s hardly room for me to crouch in the area where they’ve been placed. There just isn’t room to position blocks of that size and weight, in the way that we see them there. So again, like it or not, we’re looking at the evidence of a building technology that we don’t understand. And quite often, when we go to Giza, we pass over, pass by things like this, without realising what they really mean. 

We’re looking down on The Great Sphinx of Egypt from the side of The Great Pyramid. The Great Sphinx as Robert will explain, faces perfectly due east. It’s orientated precisely to due east. And it was made by cutting it out of solid bedrock. It’s 240 feet long and 70 feet high and it was carved out of solid bedrock. The core body was isolated by removing this trench of rock around it and those rocks that were cut away from the core body and then sawn up into blocks  and those blocks were erected in front of The Sphinx in these two so called temples. The Valley Temple and The Sphinx Temple. 

They’re also entirely anonymous monuments, like The Sphinx and actually, to be honest, we don’t really know what their function is. But the interesting thing is the size of the blocks used in making those structures. We’re looking at a side view of the valley temple here and you can see the problem. These blocks of stone weigh two hundred tonnes each. And there’s hundreds of them. And they were put into position at the same time that The Sphinx was made. I’ll be briefly outlining later on, the geological evidence that indicates that The Sphinx is maybe at least 12000 years old. 

Since we know this temple was made at the same time as The Sphinx, if it is 12000 years old, and the astronomical evidence that Robert will be covering, also corroborates that, it means that 12000 years ago, there were people on this planet who had the ability to lift and manipulate 200 tonne blocks of stone. 

And this is a serious problem for the orthodox view of history because 12000 years ago, we were supposed to have been in an extremely primitive stage, living in caves. 

There’s one other place in Egypt where you find these bare, stone, anonymous monuments, using vast blocks, very similar to the valley temples. And this is the Osirion in Upper Egypt, near Abydos. It lies at a level, 50 feet below surrounding temples, but because there is a temple of Seti l nearby, albeit 50 feet above it, archaeologists have deduced with their characteristic brilliance that this amazing structure must have been made by Seti l. There’s no evidence for that. On the contrary, all the evidence suggests that it belongs to the same category of architecture as those mysterious temples at Giza. And that it may be as old as they are. That we may be looking at a 12000 year old monument here. 

And that’s why it’s interesting that it was always called The Osirion. It was associated with Osiris. With the high god, Osiris, who the ancient Egyptians remembered as having come to their country in a remote period that they called Zep Tepi, ‘The First Time’ thousands of years before history began. Bringing the gifts of civilisation with him. There are many images of Osiris in Egypt. Here’s one that’s actually carved in that Seti structure I just talked about. As you can see, he’s a conspicuously bearded figure. In fact, Osiris and the symbolism of Osiris has much in common – and I’ve gone into this in depth in Fingerprints of The Gods, with the --- of Viracocha. And of Questa Coatal (?). My bet is with all these figures, we’re looking at memories of the survivors of a great lost civilisation who settled in various parts of the world and whose mission was to keep the light of their knowledge burning, and to find a way over Millennia of barbarism to pass that knowledge down to the future, perhaps even to our own time, perhaps even to us today. 

As I said, Osiris was remembered by the ancient Egyptians as having come in The First Time, long before history began. You talk to Egyptologists about Egyptian history and they will tell you that they know far more , far far more about the history of Egypt than the ancient Egyptians did themselves. This arrogant statement has been made in print by several Egyptologists and yet the Egyptological chronology of ancient Egypt is based entirely on ancient Egyptian records. Records such as these. This is the King list, of Pharaoh Seti l at Abydos and he is showing his young son, Rameses ll a list of all the kings of Egypt who ruled before their time, together with the lengths of their reigns. 

And the notion that we have of 30 dynasties of Egyptian Pharaohs is based on this King list and on other King lists like these. On the opposite wall of the same temple is another list which again, is matched by many other lists, the ancient Egyptians passed down. And this is a list of a mysterious group of beings called the Shemsu Hor. The Followers of Horus. Who were believed by the ancient Egyptians to have ruled in Egypt for thousands of years before the first pharaoh of the First Dynasty took the throne. The followers of Horus who retained a memory of the Divine origins of their civilisation. Whose mission was to pass that memory down to the future and who were attributed by the ancient Egyptians themselves as The Guardians of The Wisdom Legacy that ancient Egypt inherited. 

These references to The First Time, The Followers of Horus, to this remote pre-historic period when the gods came to Egypt, I found again and again the oldest scriptures of mankind, carved on the walls here of a Fifth Dynasty period, the period of ---. These are called The Pyramid Texts and they were compiled roughly, in the epoch of 2500 to 2300 BC. They contain repeated references to this mysterious period, The First Time and I’ll leave it to Robert in his talk, Bookeeper of Genesis, to really bring out what The First Time means. 

It’s difficult to see in this light on the ceiling of this chamber, there are hundreds of stars, The Pyramid texts are full of references to the stars and the heavens, very precise and very specific references. What we think is that astronomy can be used to arrive at a precise date for The First Time, as Robert will be showing you. Astronomy, relating to these monuments at this profoundly astronomically aligned site. This photograph was taken at the winter solstice, with the sun overhead The Pyramid of Menkarah. 

And just a little bit on the Sphinx. When we say the word Sphinx, we’re actually speaking the ancient Egyptian language. Because Sphinx is a corruption through Greek of the ancient Egyptian phrase, shashap ank (?). And that phrase means ‘living image’. But the question is whose living image, does the Sphinx represent? Egyptologists THINK they know the answer to this question. And their theory about who The Sphinx represents and about the age of The Sphinx, their opinion on this matter is falsely presented as fact in all our text books. And all our Encyclopaedias. You look up The Sphinx of Egypt on The Encyclopaedia Britannica or any other text of that nature, and you’ll be told without any question mark over the matter, that it was built by The Pharaoh Khafre in his own image in around 2500 BC. And yet The Great Sphinx like The Pyramids, is an entirely anonymous monument. Since it’s carved from raw stone, we have NO objective way of dating it. 

What we’re dealing with, with that attribution to Khafre, is purely and simply, Egyptological OPINION. And as Robert and I have gone on with our work, into Giza and into the monuments of Giza, we have come to trust Egyptological opinion on these matters, less and less. In fact, we don’t think that the Egyptological opinion on these matters is right at all. We think that the Egyptologists have got it totally and utterly wrong. Perhaps you agree with us, perhaps you don’t. But one thing is for sure. It’s very bad scholarship that the OPINION of scholars should be presented as FACT. When it isn’t fact. Let’s see what the Egyptological opinion about the identification of The Sphinx really rests on. One thing it rests on is the face of The Sphinx. 

Egyptologists tell us that this anonymous monument LOOKS like Khafre. And they say that because there are a few statues of Khafre that have survived, which actually have Khafre’s name on them. And so, they compare the face of The Sphinx with a known statue of Khafre. Like this one, which is in the Cairo Museum. And they tell us that the two faces are identical. Well, we don’t see it that way. We don’t think the faces look similar at all. We think they look very different, but don’t take our word for it. And don’t take the word of Egyptologists for it. The person who really is an authority on faces is somebody like a police forensic artist, somebody who’s made a lifetime study of the similarities and differences between faces. And back in the early 1990s, colleagues of ours led by John Anthony West brought a police forensic artist --- Frank Damingo (?) of the New York Police Department, with 20 years on the force and he did a very important point by point, identity comparison of the face of The Sphinx and the face of Khafre and here are some of his drawings. What he concluded is that he just couldn’t understand why Egyptologists had the impression that The Sphinx looked like Khafre. He saw no resemblance between the two faces at all, and when he compared key angles of the faces, he concluded, he swore an affidavit to this effect, that whoever The Great Sphinx’s face represents, it CERTAINLY does not represent the face of Khafre. The angles of the face are completely different and he in fact, concluded that The Great Sphinx represented an entirely difference RACE from Khafre. 

Okay, so that dismisses the facial similarity of view that Egyptologists wish to foist on us. What else do they base their attribution of The Sphinx to Khafre on? They tell us that there are certain texts around Giza which say that The Sphinx was built by Khafre. Let’s look briefly into this issue. To start with a text that was found at Giza, which says very definitely that The Sphinx was NOT built by Khafre. This is the so called Inventory Stella which stands, neglected, in a corner of the Cairo Museum today. According to Egyptologists, The Inventory Stella is a work of fiction. It’s an ancient Egyptian ‘novel’, which we have to ignore and why do we have to ignore it? The reason we have to ignore it is because it doesn’t fit their theory. 

The Inventory Stella tells us that The Sphinx was already standing and already remotely ancient when Khufu, the predecessor of Khafre, came to the throne. And if The Inventory Stella is correct, then the Egyptologists must be wrong and Khafre could not have built The Sphinx. But, say the Egyptologists, the Inventory Stella doesn’t date from the same period as The Sphinx. And this is true. The Inventory Stella dates from about 1200 years after the orthodox dating for The Sphinx. The orthodox dating for The Sphinx is 2500 BC and this Stella belongs to the period of 1200 BC or perhaps a little bit later. They say, that since it’s not contemporary with The Sphinx, we don’t need to pay attention to it. 

But yet, with that amazing – standard, for which Egyptologists are the world leaders, they base their attribution of The Sphinx to Khafre on another piece of text, which also is not contemporary with The Sphinx and which in fact, dates from the same period as the Inventory Stella. 

They base the attribution of The Sphinx to Khafre on this stella which is called The Dream Stella and it was put up by Pharaoh Moses lV to commemorate a restoration campaign that he undertook on The Sphinx. And on this stella, among many other very interesting texts, which Robert will review, there is one single syllable. Khaf. And because of that single syllable, and NOTHING ELSE, the monument is attributed to Khafre by Egyptologists. They wish us to believe that Moses was telling us that Khafre had built The Sphinx. That he was commemorating the building of The Sphinx by Khafre. He might equally well have been telling us that Khafre was an earlier restorer of The Sphinx. Or he might not have been referring to Khafre at all. Because it’s just a single syllable Khaf. 

So, on such flimsy foundations, perhaps the most important monument of the ancient world has been attributed for the last century or so, to a particular Pharaoh in a particular epoch. We think that it’s vastly older, older, than that. 

And I’m not going to go into the details of that. Robert will give all the details on his talk on Keeper of Genesis. But what I will briefly mention is the geology. Between 1991 and 1993, The Sphinx was studied by Professor Robert Shock of Boston University, a leading geologist and one of the world’s most recognised specialists in the weathering of limestone. And he was brought to the site by our colleague John Anthony West, who had noticed these curious, erosional features on the side of The Sphinx. And particularly prominently on the trench of bedrock out of which The Spinx is cut, obviously it was made at the same time as The Spinx. 

This undulating profile , scalloped, undulating profile and the vertical fishers (?) that run down through the rock, could not have been caused by sand erosion, they could not have been caused by wind erosion. They could only have been caused by one thing. And that is exposure to a very very very long period of heavy rainfall. 

And Professor Robert Shock has put his reputation on the line and he’s subsequently been endorsed in this matter by hundreds of fellow geologists, and opposed by very few, when he says that what we’re looking at on The Sphinx – these by the way are later restoration blocks – what we’re looking at on The Sphinx and on the surrounding trench, is classic, precipitation induced weathering. 

The problem is that in 2500 BC, when The Sphinx is supposed to have been built, Egypt was as bone dry as it is today. The climate conditions did not exist then and they have not existed since, to cause this kind of weathering around The Sphinx. The last time that sufficient rains fell in the Eastern Sahara, to have caused such weathering, when The Sahara Desert was still green, was AROUND THE END OF THE LAST ICE AGE. 

Focusing us back again towards that period, that mysterious period when The Ice Age came suddenly to an end. Around 12000 years ago. 

Sooner or later, as you go around the world, as I did, looking at these sites, at the myths, at the monuments, at the memories that have been passed down, at the fingerprints of what becomes more and more real as a great, lost civilisation, you have to begin to ask yourself, if I’m finding the fingerprints, where is the body? Where is rest of this civilisation? Why do we find so little? 

And I’m convinced that the answer to this question lies in the cataclysm that brought The last Ice Age to an end. And as I said earlier, the ending of The last Ice Age is an enormous geological mystery and we do not really understand what brought it to an end. But when you have millions of square miles of two mile thick ice, melting in just a couple of thousand years, you are by definition, looking at a cataclysm. 

We live on a planet, that revolves around a star. In fact, the earth is revolving around the sun at 66,600 miles per hour. Which means that we’ve travelled well over 70,000 miles tonight, while I’ve been talking. 

If you stand on the equator of the earth, you’re spinning with the rotation of the earth at a thousand miles per hour. And our planet is subjected to the gravitational pull of the moon that circles around it, and of neighbouring planets in the solar system and of the sun itself. 

With all this massive rotational, centrifugal activity, once you become conscious of it, you begin to realise how fragile our environment may really be. And back in the 1950s, a radical theory was proposed to explain the end of the last Ice Age. By Professor Charles Hapgood in the United States. And Hapgood’s theory of earth crust displacement was endorsed fully at the time as to its physics by Albert Einstein. The theory has never been accepted by orthodox geologists and I’m not sure if its right but I think it’s worth consideration. 

Broadly, what Hapgood and Einstein were arguing, is that from time to time, the entire outer crust of the earth can move, shift in one piece around the body of the earth. And when this happens, land that is in cold parts of the planet, close to one or other of the poles, and thus, naturally covered by ice, is moved cataclysmically into warmer parts of the planet and thus, naturally melts. Very, very rapidly and at the same time, land that’s in warm parts of the planet, is shifted into colder parts of the planet. And as I said earlier on, the work on earth crust displacement that Hapgood and Einstein did has subsequently been refined in a very interesting manner. By Rand & Rose Flem-Ath in Canada, whose book, When The Sky Fell, I would urge everyone  to read, because it’s the most detailed analysis of the earth crust displacement theory. 

What this theory offers is an explanation for the sudden ending of The Ice Age. Broadly speaking, it happened, Einstein said, because of the asymmetric distribution of ice around the poles. The massive build up of ice at the poles and all these spinning rotational forces. Sooner or later, a trigger moment is reached and the Precessional wobble of the earth comes into it which causes all that asymmetrical deposited ice, that massive weight device, to exert sufficient thrust of the earth to set the whole crust in motion. 

And such an idea does explain how we lose a whole civilisation. Indeed, how we lose a whole continent, on which such a civilisation might have grown up. Because, according to the earth crust displacement theory, the continent of Antarctica, which features in all those ancient maps, was not 17000 years ago, where it is today. Prior to the displacement of the crust, it was much further north and the Antarctic peninsular would have been entirely de-glaciated and would have offered a comfortable environment for a high civilisation to grow up. 

Then the shifting of the crust brings the so called Ice Age to an end, moves Antarctica, dead centre onto the Antarctic circle and gradually the ice begins to build up over that continent, burying the remains, the body of that great lost civilisation. 

As I say, I don’t know if the earth crust displacement theory is correct. All I do know is that something awful happened to the earth at the end of the last Ice Age. Maybe it isn’t earth crust displacement, maybe it’s some kind of more radical pole flip, which involves the whole earth moving. Maybe it’s something to do with our cosmic environment. Recent evidence has come out of a giant comet striking the earth at around that period, at around the 10th Millennium BC. And such a comet, scientists are now seriously arguing, may have been at the root of the world wide traditions of deluge and disaster that I review in Fingerprints of The Gods. 

And if we’re not all busy exploring Australia for £599.00, many of us might have been aware that an enormous meteor recently whizzed by the earth at a very close range. Such a meteor, were it to strike our planet, would have the capacity to set in motion a nucleur winter. To end civilisation as we know it. To force us all to begin again. Those of us who survived. 

The earliest surviving mention of The Lost Continent of Atlantis was passed down to us by the Greek Philosopher, Plato. And Plato got his information, he said, in the Timaeus, from Solon, an earlier Greek philosopher. Solon in turn...got his information from an Egyptian Priest, a Priest of Sais in the Delta. And what that Priest said, referring to records going back more than 9000 years before his time was this; 

He said that our earth is periodically visited by a giant cataclysm. And that EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS, mankind is forced to begin again, like children. With no memory of what went before. 

And I suspect, I really do, that that’s what we are. We’re a species with amnesia. We’re children who’ve forgotten our own parents. But those parents who were destroyed in that great cataclysm at the end of the last Ice Age. I’m now certain that some of them did survive. And that they settled in places like The High Andes and most prominently of all, in Giza, where the three great pyramids and The Great Sphinx stand. And they, Robert and I are now convinced, found a way to pass down the memory of who they were. And of the special wondrous knowledge that they had. To the future. They found a way to wake us up again. They created a kind of alarm clock for the planet. A beacon that would draw people towards it and at the right time, when conditions were right, would wake us up. 

And when I look around the world today, amidst all the turmoil and killing and disaster, I also see the sign of hope. I see a great awakening of consciousness. Amongst open minded people everywhere. I think the ancient beacon is working. I think the message it has sent down the ages is beginning to come through, loud and clear. And what Robert and I have tried to do, in Keeper of Genesis is get to grips with the beginning of that message. To begin to de-code it as Robert will be telling you when he gives his talk in about ten minutes time. 

Thank you very much indeed.

“O Solon, you Greeks are all young in your minds which hold no store of old belief on along tradition, no knowledge hoary with age. The reason is this. There have been, and will be hereafter, many and divers destructions of mankind, the greatest by fire and water, though other lessor ones are due to countless other causes. Thus the story current also in your part of the world, that Phaethon, child of the Sun, once harnessed his father chariot but could not guide it into his fathers course and so burnt up everything on the face of the earth and was himself consumed by a thunderbolt – this legend has the air of a fable; but the truth behind it is a deviation of the bodies that revolve in heaven around the earth and a distruction, occurring at long intervals of things on earth by a great conflagration… Any great or noble achievement or otherwise exceptional event that has come to pass, either in your parts or here or in any place of which we have tidings, has been written down for ages past in records that are preserved in our temples; whereas with you and other people again and again, life has only just been enriched with letters and all other necessities of civilization when once more, after the usual period of years, the torrents from heaven swept down like a pestilence, leaving only the rude and unlettered among you. And so you start again like children, knowing nothing of what existed in ancient times here or in your own country… To begin with, your people remember one deluge, though their were many earlier; and moreover you do not know that the noblest and bravest race in the world once lived in your country. From a small remnant of their seed you and all your citizens are derived; but you know nothing of it because the survivors for many generations died leaving no word in writing”.

Review on When The Sky Fell by Rand Flem-Ath; Rose Flem-Ath

Do you know what the Ice Age, Stonehenge, the temple of Machu Picchu, the Sphinx, and Plato have in common? Neither did I. All of them offer up clues to the existence of the lost city of Atlantis, and all are carefully dissected and analyzed by the Flem-Aths in this new book on that very topic.

To begin with, I wasn't even aware that the jury was still out on Atlantis; I thought the votes had been tabulated and a resounding "Uh-uh" was recorded. But apparently, scholarly debate continues to this very day. One of the scholars at the forefront of the debate was Charles Hapgood, whose work was supported by Albert Einstein in his day, and was continued by the Flem-Aths. Hapgood was a professor of anthropology who dabbled in geology and ancient cartography--and that's some dabbling! He theorized that around 12,000 years ago the earth underwent a sudden and violent upheaval which caused earthquakes, eruptions of volcanoes, and massive, world-wide flooding. The cause and/or result of this upheaval was a significant planetary crust displacement which shifted the entire outer layer of the earth's crust, causing certain land masses which were in polar locales to move to more temperate areas, such as Canada, and certain ones which were in temperate areas to move to a polar locale, such as Antarctica.

This theory explains many things which modern science can not--the ice age; the sudden, violent change of climate in certain parts of the world; the preservation of animals such as mastodons, which suggests they were caught in a rush of water and exposed to a rapid drop in temperature, because of the lack of decomposition; and such anomalies as why the Sphinx appears to have suffered water erosion. But it is also a theory which has been largely ignored by modern science. 

The fact that this is a book that is entirely unscientific is not at issue. This is a case where the authors have set out for evidence to support a certain conclusion, rather than letting facts and observations lead them to a conclusion. The Flem-Aths are not scientists, you see; they are a husband and wife team of librarians. Their specialty is in the collection, cataloguing, and arrangement of documents and facts. What they have done is what librarians have always been famous for: they have united under one "roof" works of palaeoanthropology, geology, cartography, mythology, physics, history (oral and written), geography, and "Atlantology". But in the case of this book, they have gone one step further and made connections between all these works that the individual scientists couldn't and wouldn't make. 

And let me assure you that their research was tireless and beyond thorough. The result is this fascinating book which brings the "legend" of the lost city of Atlantis into the realm of possibility. Their conclusion, based on all the sources they have presented, is that the ruins of Atlantis lie under several thousand tons of ice in Antarctica, and that the survivors which fled the island in all directions were pivotal figures in the development of all modern civilizations. And how is that related to Stonehenge? You'll have to read the book, of course.

The Sirius Mystery

Picture of a human with fish scales on his back and a fish head over a human head In an introductory University Astronomy textbook, designed to debunk such claims as were made by Erich Von Daniken in Chariots of the Gods about aliens visiting Earth, "In Search of Ancient Astronomies," by Krupp, a chapter is devoted to debunking The Sirius Mystery, the author states (P.247) that 

"At first the Dogon statements that they have known about Jupiter's four moons seems amazing, but Jupiter is known to have at least fourteen satellites and visiting spacemen inclined to pass this kind of information along should have been more accurate". 

Temple in The sirius Mystery essentially claims that thousands of years ago amphibians came to earth from a planet in the Sirius system and instructed humans in the rudiments of culture. Pottery and artwork of the Dogon indicates they have posessed this knowledge for many centuries, perhaps going back to ancient Egyptian knowledge of the amphibians from Sirius. 

Krupp's efforts to disprove this are ineffectual and misguided as are other sceptical views of this mystery. Temple's evidence that ancient cultures appear to possess knowledge regarding astronomical aspects that only an alien could have told them has yet to be refuted by anthropological evidence. 

This is fascinating folklore given the genetic evolutionary evidence that humans went through an amphibious stage that had finished by 370 million years ago, not a few thousand. It does pose some difficult questions of how long a third planet might survive in a stable orbit in a binary star system? Some simulations show that a third planet would either crash into one of the suns, or fly off into deep space before many millions of years had passed, too short a time for life to get going in such a binary system? 

The complexity of life on such a planet would make it very difficult for any life forms to work out any harmony or the mathematics involved in their solar system. Humans adopted the egocentric and incorrect view that, earth was the center of our solar system for a thousand years, in a much simplier single sun sytem.

How much more complex would calculations be in a binary star system, a planet having a stable orbit would have very intricate and complicated orbits. Any beings that did manage to make sense in such a system would be very clever. Possible alien life forms. Then they would have the problem of space travel from Sirius to earth, approximately 8 light years away, an impossible journey by today's standards and what we humans currently know about astrophysics. The Ocam's razor explination might be that under perfect viewing conditions, an individual with superior sight might have been able to detect the white dwarf circling Sirius.

The Biblical Philistines

A small extract from the Bible, not too much... to illustrate the devious malovelant nature of the Old Testament GOD... When the Philistines captured the ark of God, they carried it from Ebenezer to Ashdod; then the Philistines took the ark of God and brought it into the house of Dagon and set it up beside Dagon. And when the people of Ashdod rose early the next day, behold, Dagon had fallen face downwards on the ground before the ark of the Lord. So they took Dagon and put him back in his place. But when the people rose early on the next morning, behold Dagon had fallen face downward on the ground before the ark of the Lord and the head of Dagon and both his hands were cut off upon the threshold; only the trunk of Dagon was left to him. This is why the priests of Dagon and all who enter the house of Dagon do not tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod to this day.

The hand of the Lord was heavy upon the people of Ashdod, and he terrified and afflicted them with tumors, both Ashdod and it's territory. And when the men of Ashdod saw how things were they said "The ark of the God of Israel must not remain with us, for his hand is heavy upon us and upon Dagon our god... The only explination, if the story is true, which we shouldn't assume, the Occam's razor explination that makes sense is that the GOD of Israel had a great publicity department thousands of years ago (as they still do) and that they preyed on the superstitions of others to promote the primacy of their own God. Check your bible if it uses lower-case letter for other gods and CAPS for the GOD of Israel!

The Ashdod citizens who prayed to Dagon died from tumors after opening the ark to have a peek, were most likely poisoned by the followers of the GOD of Israel, unless they had a successful neculear plant even thousands of years ago and the ark contained highly radioactive material.

Er.. So Long and Thanks to the god of Israel for all the tumors. Who are these poor afflicted people of Ashdod? Are they related to the Dagon tribe of central Mali in Africa Timbuctoooo? They eventually sent the ark back with golden tumors and mice, where it killed dozens of people who opened the lid to take a peek. Phew, those poor people of Ashdod I hope their tumors healed. Sounds like radiation poisioning? So if they did not have modern technology, they must have poisoned the poor people of Ashdod. Perhaps with some research on the use of ancient poison, or a profession medical historical researcher might identify which poison was most likely used from knowledge of pharmacology at the time and the symptoms. Notice the language behold, as if it was expected as a great miracle from God announced with great joy, because during the night they had probably tipped over the statue of Dagon.behold, I suspect that something here is shiftier than a shithouse rat.

There was, he asserted, irrefutable evidence that the earth had been comprehensively mapped before 4000 BC by a hirtherto unknown and undisclosed civilisation which had achieved a high level of technological advancement’.

Graham Hancock 

Antarctica was not always where it is. It moved gradually as the ice gradually moved onto it. No historian wants to accept it, but Einstein, who was ‘electrified’. AZR

“The Piri Reis Map seems to contain surprising collateral evidence in support of the thesis of a geologically recent glaciation of parts of Antarctica following a sudden southward displacement of the earth’s crust. Moreover since such a map could only have been drawn PRIOR to 4000 BC, its implications for the history of human civilization are staggering. Prior to 4000 BC there are supposed to have been no civilisations at all.” 

Graham Hancock. Fingerprints of The Gods 

At some risk of over-simplification, the academic consensus is broadly: 

Civilisation first developed in the Fertile Crescent of the Middle East. 

This development began after 4000 BC, and culminated in the emergence of the earliest true civilisations (Sumer and Egypt) around 3000 BC, soon followed by the Indus Valley and China. 

About 1500 years later, civilisation took off spontaneously and independently in the Americas. 

Since 3000 BC in the Old World (and about 1500 BC in the New) civilisation has steadily ‘evolved’ in the direction of ever more refined, complex and productive forms. 

In consequence, and particularly by comparison with ourselves, all ancient civilisations (and all their works) are to be understood as essentially primitive (the Sumerian astronomers regarded the heavens with unscientific awe, and even the pyramids of Egypt were built by ‘technological primitives’.) 

The evidence of the Piri Reis Map appears to contradict all this. 

Graham Hancock. Fingerprints of The Gods

Fingerprints of The Gods. Graham Hancock 

….Conventional wisdom has it that the Antarctic ice-cap, in its present extent and form, is millions of years old. On closer examination, this notion turns out to be seriously flawed – so seriously that we need not assume the map drawn by Admiral Piri Reis depicts Queen Maud Land as it looked millions of years in the past. The best recent evidence suggests that Queen Maud Land, and the neighbouring regions shown on the map, passed thorugh a long ice-free period which may not have come completely to an end until about six thousand years ago. This evidence which we shall touch upon again in the next chapter, liberates us from the burdensome task of explaining who (or what) had the technology to undertake an accurate geographical survey of Antarctica in say, two million BC, long before our own species came into existence. By the same token, since map-making is a complex and CIVILISED activity, it compels us to explain how such a task could have been accomplished even six thousand years ago, well before the development of the first true civilisations recognised by historians. 

Ancient Sources 

In attempting that explanation it is worth reminding ourselves of the basic historical and geological facts: 

1. The Piri Reis Map, which is a genuine document, not a hoax of any kind, was made at Constantinople in AD 1513. 

2. It focuses on the western coast of Africa, the eastern coast of South America and the northern coast of Antarctica. 

3. Piri Reis could not have acquired his information on this latter region from contemporary explorers because Antarctica remained undiscovered until AD 1818, more than 300 years after he drew the map. 

4. The ice-free coast of Queen Maud Land shown in the map is a colossal puzzle because the geological evidence confirms that the latest date it could have been surveyed and charted in an ice-free condition is 4000 BC. 

5. It is not possible to pinpoint the EARLIEST date that such a task could have been accomplished, but it seems that the Queen Maud Land littoral may have remained in a stable, unglaciated condition for at least 9000 years before the spreading ice-cap swallowed it entirely. 

6. There is no civilisation known to history that had the capacity or need to survey that coastline in the relevant period: between 13000 BC and 4000 BC. 

In other words, the true enigma of this 1513 map is not so much its inclusion of a continent not discovered until 1818 but its portrayal of part of the coastline of that continent under ice-free conditions which came to an end 6000 years ago and have not since recurred. 

How can this be explained? Piri Reis obligingly gives us the answer in a series of notes written in his own hand on the map itself. He tells us that he was not responsible for the original surveying and cartography. On the contrary he admits that his role was merely that of compiler and copyist and that the map was derived from a large number of source maps. Some of these had been drawn by contemporary or near-contemporary explorers (including Christopher Columbus), who had by then reached South America and the Caribbean, but others were documents dating back to the fourth century BC or earlier. 

Piri Reis did not venture any suggestion as to the identity of the cartographers who had produced the earlier maps. In 1963, however, Professor Hapgood proposed a novel and thought-provoking solution to the problem. He argued that some of the source maps the admiral had made us of, in particular those said to date back to the fourth century BC, had themselves been based on even OLDER sources, which in turn had been based on sources originating in the furthest antiquity. There was, he asserted, irrefutable evidence that the earth had been comprehensively mapped before 4000 BC by a hitherto unknown and undiscovered civilisation which had achieved a high level of technological advancement: 

“It appears (he concluded) that accurate information has been passed down from people to people. It appears that the charts must have originated with a people unknown and they were passed on, perhaps by the Minoans and the Phoenicians, who were, for a thousand years and more, the greatest sailors of the ancient world. We have evidence that they were collected and studied I the great library of Alexandria (Egypt) and that compilations of them were made by the geographers who worked there.” 

From Alexandria, according to Hapgood’s reconstruction, copies of these compilations and of some of the original source maps were transferred to other centres of learning – notably Constantinople. Finally, when Constantinople was seized by the Venetians during the Fourth Crusade in 1204, the maps began to find their way into the hands of European sailors and adventurers: 

“ Most of these maps were of the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. But maps of other areas survived. These included maps of the Americas and maps of the Arctic and Antarctic Oceans. It becomes clear that the ancient voyagers travelled from pole to pole. Unbelievable as it may appear, the evidence nevertheless indicates that some ancient people explored Antarctica when its coasts were free of ice. It is clear, too, that they had an instrument of navigation for accurately determining longitudes that was far superior to anything processed by the peoples of ancient, medieval or modern times until the second half of the eighteenth century. 

This evidence of a lost technology will support and give credence to many of the other hypotheses that have been brought forward of a lost civilisation in remote times. Scholars have been able to dismiss most of that evidence as mere myth, but here we have evidence that has been brought forward in the past should be re-examined with an open mind.” 

Despite a ringing endorsement from Albert Einstein, and despite the later admission of John Wright, president of the American Geographical Society, that Hapgood had ‘posed hypotheses that cry aloud for further testing’, no further scientific research has ever been undertaken into these anomalous early maps. Moreover, far from being applauded for making a serious new contribution to the debate about the antiquity of human civilisation. 

Hapgood until his death was cold-shouldered by the majority of his professional peers, who couched their discussion of his work in what has accurately been described as ‘thick and unwarranted sarcasm, selecting trivia and factors not subject to verification as the bases for condemnation, seeking in this way to avoid the basic issues.’ 

A man ahead of his time

The late Charles Hapgood taught the history of science at Keene College, New Hampshire, USA. He wasn’t a geologist, or an ancient historian. It is possible, however, that future generations will remember him as the man whose work undermined the foundations of world history – and a large chunk of world geology as well. 

Albert Einstein was among the first to realise this when he took the unprecedented step of contributing the forward to a book Hapgood wrote in 1953, some years before he began his investigation of the Piri Reis Map: 

“I frequently receive communications from people who wish to consult me concerning their unpublished ideas (Einstein observed). It goes without saying that these ideas are very seldom possessed of scientific validity. The very first communication, however, that I received from Mr Hapgood electrified me. His idea is original, of great simplicity, and – if it continues to prove itself – of great importance to everything that is related to the history of the earth’s surface.” 

The ‘idea’ expressed in Hapgood’s 1953 book is  global geological theory which elegantly explains how and why large parts of Antarctica could have remained ice-free until 4000 BC, together with many other anomalies of earth science. In brief the argument is: 

1. Antarctica was not always covered with ice and was at one time much warmer than it is today. 

2. It was warm because it was not physically located at the South Pole in that period. Instead it was approximately 2000 miles farther north. This ‘would have put it outside the Antarctic Circle in a temperate or cold temperate climate’. 

3. The continent moved to its present position inside the Antarctic Circle as a result of a mechanism known as ‘earth-crust displacement’. This mechanism, in no sense to be confused with plate-tectonics or ‘continental drift’, is one whereby the lithosphere, the whole outer crust of the earth, ‘may be displaced at all times, moving over the soft inner body, much as the skin of an orange, if it were loose, might shift over the inner part of the orange all in one piece.’ 

4. During the envisaged southwards movement of Antarctica brought about by earth-crust displacement, the continent would gradually have grown colder, an ice-cap forming and remorselessly expanding over several thousands of years until it attained its present dimensions. 

Further details of the evidence supporting these radical proposals are set out in Part Vlll of this book. Orthodox geologists, however, remain reluctant to accept Hapgood’s theory (although none has succeeded in proving it incorrect). It raises many questions. 

Of these by far the most important is: what conceivable mechanism would be able to exert sufficient thrust on the lithosphere to precipitate a phenomenon of such magnitude as a crustal displacement? 

We have no better guide than Einstein to summarize Hapgood’s findings: 

“In a polar region there is continual disposition of ice, which is not symmetrically distributed about the pole. The earth’s rotation acts on these unsymmetrically deposited masses, and produces centrifugal momentum that is transmitted to the rigid crust of the earth. The constantly increasing centrifugal momentum produced in this way will, when it has reached a certain point, produce a movement of the earth’s crust over the rest of the earth’s body....” 

The Piri Reis Map seems to contain surprising collateral evidence in support of the thesis of a geologically recent glaciation of parts of Antarctica following a sudden southward displacement of the earth’s crust. Moreover since such a map could only have been drawn PRIOR to 4000 BC, its implications for the history of human civilization are staggering. Prior to 4000 BC there are supposed to have been no civilisations at all

At some risk of over-simplification, the academic consensus is broadly:  

Civilisation first developed in the Fertile Crescent of the Middle East. 

This development began after 4000 BC, and culminated in the emergence of the earliest true civilisations (Sumer and Egypt) around 3000 BC, soon followed by the Indus Valley and China. 

About 1500 years later, civilisation took off spontaneously and independently in the Americas. 

Since 3000 BC in the Old World (and about 1500 BC in the New) civilisation has steadily ‘evolved’ in the direction of ever more refined, complex and productive forms. 

In consequence, and particularly by comparison with ourselves, all ancient civilisations (and all their works) are to be understood as essentially primitive (the Sumerian astronomers regarded the heavens with unscientific awe, and even the pyramids of Egypt were built by ‘technological primitives’.) 

The evidence of the Piri Reis Map appears to contradict all this. 

Piri Reis and his sources 

In his day, Piri Reis was a well-known figure; his historical identity is firmly established. An admiral in the navy of the Ottoman Turks, he was involved, often on the winning side, in numerous sea battles around the mid-sixteenth century. 

He was, in addition, considered an expert on the lands of the Mediterranean, and was the author of a famous sailing book, the Kitabi Bahriye, which provided a comprehensive description of the coasts, harbours, currents, shallows, landing places, bays and straits of the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas. 

Despite this illustrious career he fell foul of his masters and was beheaded in AD 1554 or 1555.

The Hierophant Questions Pt l. Amera Ziganii Rao 

So, as I now begin to take everything in on a new level, and as I research the next round of works that other people have done before me, my mind is flying with the power of Hierophant and Metaphysical Philosopher, like the clappers. So, here, at first sight, I am going to articulate my musings and thoughts from time to time. 

As you have read this material by Graham Hancock yourself, you will also have questions. My questions only direct that process in a more piercing way and as we progress, these questions will be answered. Anyone who has read any of my work, or the pieces I have featured so far, will know the context of these latest musings. 

We are going far and deep and while it may seem scary, hopeless and infuriating, to know that we have all been lied to, with no one more hurt or damaged than Female High Serpent Amazonian Priesthood™, I can also now see in the new light of new compassion, new self knowledge and self certainty, that it is Priesthood that become the LEAST unhappy, because accessing The Universe is so easy for us, once the triggers begin. 

My heart now goes out to all Lemurians as I have so far defined, and to those whose journeys are not completed in this lifetime, to the high consciousness levels available to all, yes, but not all in this lifetime. Reincarnation is therefore a salvation technique of soothing for the heart and mind. Whatever one cannot achieve in this lifetime, will be done in the next and so on. So far, I don’t know what that means for what I define as The Dark Lords and if they truly are not to heal, then their pain will not be as great anyway. 

I look to those who will one day make it into the light completely, into love intelligence completely and I look at the agony and sorrow that not only have The Female High Serpent Amazonian Priesthood™/High Serpent Female Amazonian Priesthood™ been denied from accessing The Universe for 8000 – 12000 years ourselves – an unexplicably excruciating process of being cut off from our gifts, so that this hidden and sinister world order of real satan worshippers and world fascism has been served, (said in the esoteric sense and not in some titillation sense), but everyone else has been denied these gifts too, on the level they are capable, because the Serpent Priesthood as I call it so far, has been blocked from helping and healing the peoples of this earth. 

In other words, this is no longer just my story or the story of my Priesthood people. The women that no one thinks about or cares about or gives a shit about, while being mesmerised by as soon as we reveal ourselves. This is the story of earth. The story of happiness, inner power and above all the gifts of wizardry – Alchemy & Liberation & Humanity™ - and the absence of fear, un-fulfilment, and the inability to be the superstar self. That has been denied to EVERYONE, because the Female High Serpent and Serpent Amazonian Priesthood™ was wiped off this planet. 

In other words, my healing is your healing. The healing of women like me, is your healing. This is everyone’s story. This is the story of earth. And I include the men like me too, of course, alongside the men like Graham Hancock and so many others who search for the answers too and who have the courage to stand up and share. I also look to the fact though that I am continuously stunned and belligerently individualistic (for my people) when I see male esoteric, and even female, again and again, look to the ‘his’story of the world and not even talk about the women. Like we have never existed, other than to give birth. There is no point in my view, in being a male esoteric or historian and not have the knowledge and skill base of Hierophant. Because then, you turn out to be just like the rest. Stupid. 

Continuing the sinister world order of male arrogance and domination just like everyone else. And while I understand, I ain’t impressed for one second. My view is to learn all I can from everyone else. And then ditch it all. Because I and Female High Serpent Amazonian Priesthood™ don’t exist, once again. Like we were baby breeders from the beginning and nothing else. Crap. That’s the stupid world. The world of men. And the proof? Spiritual logic and true, delivered, Hierophant KNOWING.

And my view is this. If you feel the truth of what I say, you feel it. If you don’t, you don’t. The proof is also this. Every woman I see and talk to, like me, feels the truth in one nano second. And that gives me everything. I want my people to grow, so we can serve in the way we were supposed to. Everyone else will have to finally catch up. When they can. 

And my first suggestion is this. To apply logic without spiritual HIGH INITIATION skill base wizardry, is admirable, but only half the discussion. It is far better, to speak only once the whole journey has been made. But any knowledge is good and useful, as long as that context is remembered. Women lead the world. Women always did. Women see heaven. Women know The Great Mother God. Women deliver the love. Women are the love. The love is the intelligence. The intelligence is GOD. 

And the proof? So called, female ‘intuition’. Apply that into the HIGH INITIATION journey. Meet and live WITH The Universe. It’s the real mammoth and heroic and soul stripping journey of earth. Do that and you will use your intuition as it was meant to be used. Women have the gift. And when you are done? Female Priesthood doesn’t just visit The Universe. We end up by living there. It seems though that even male academics and esoteric of the enlightened peoples still don’t have a fucking clue. I wonder why. That is not INITIATION. That is just amateur. But useful, anyway. Male, would be intuitives. After all, we all help to fill the picture. 

We are all part of earth. But you see my frustration. Which is why I have license to push my arrogant agenda. No one else gives a shit. I will push it and I will still love. I am female. And High Serpent Amazonian Priesthood™. I push arrogance. But I leave the pomp and vanity to men. Even, it seems, the enlightened men. They see shit. Until they see me.

Science. Amera Ziganii Rao 

So, here’s a funny and stupid piece. Which just shows that consciousness is not just wisdom, not just opening up to The Universe as the Higher Mind, it is also something else, even more contentious. Consciousness is pure psychic-ness. Which begs the question. While science has proved it has a place in the world’s intelligence, just what is it and where did it come from? That’s the first question. Secondly, do they really not know or do they just pretend not to know? The truth beggars belief really. Yes, of course, consciousness/psychic gifts is a process. The Initiation journey that I and my partners have honed and toned through the affirmations of this writing, as our psychic-ness affirmation needed to be solidified, whatever levels we are all at, however conscious the consciousness/psychic gifts are. But to have a world heavyweight community who are so turgid minded as to not even entertain anything to do with it? I find that suspect. 

For instance, and this is extremely important for confidence in the unknown, as the confidence grows in one’s ‘feelings’ and truth, I remember the last time I watched TV. A programme on ‘alternative healers’. Of course, the whole stupid programme was just an ‘analysis’ on the charlatan accusation of would be healers, even though of course, phenomena were being described all the way through. I stopped watching TV and became a much richer and more profound person as a result. The Internet is the greatest thing that has happened on this planet, since the invention of the camera. Truth is the only thing I seek. I leave the turgidity of existence to the masses. The masses I can tolerate, just about. It is the heavyweight establishment of so called scientists. Science, my arse. They are the real charlatans of this world and I want to know why and how. 

The other explanation is sadder but probably more just. They are just that stupid. Let’s leave it at that for now. Maybe they are. After all, High Serpent Amazonian Priesthood or Amun Priesthood, Priesthood means one thing. Psychic. 

Oh, and the best bit is that this piece was in the London magazine, The Big Issue. It just goes to show. First that newspapers are as useless as the scientific community and secondly, that while humanitarian politics are great, this angle means nothing to our purpose either. They are as cerebral and as much asleep as their non humanitarian counterparts. Sympathy? Sure. If they really are asleep. 

They are as turgid it seems as the scientists. Don’t be fooled by conformity. Nothing impressive there. The ordinary world. Leave it. We are Samurai. Priesthood. Psychic Samurai. 

To embrace these gifts, to embrace this way is not only a privilege, it is downright noble beyond noble. Because the ‘biggest issue’ with this propaganda machine across the world is that they get all the funding, let alone the kudos, let alone the publicity, let alone the respectability. Like the poor artist syndrome, especially for most women of course, who are not even supposed to exist, and of course are then too busy making the journey out of love dependency to men who don’t even want them to think, let alone do vocational work, the poor priesthood syndrome exists too. All the healers (mostly female) who sit there and charge only £25.00 for the most extraordinary information you will ever hear at crucial times of your life and so on. It’s outrageous and why this world has to change. 

Of course, as my own work will show, the journey to fight is the journey to learn how to be at war in this world, ie, how to do business with self worth, innovation and just doing one’s own thing. A skill, sadly missing from so many people who are true healers. But that takes guts, a great deal of time and always, unofficial study and learning and self teaching. Great spiritual training of course. Being self taught is my genius, but so many people must drop by the wayside. Like art, while talent shows across the world promote derivative performers, the real performers always have to break through in revolution and we see that as a normal rite of passage. Why? It’s all wrong. And all indicative of a stranglehold on the world by the wrong people. 

It’s all part of the same thing. Don’t get fooled by any of it. Do it yourself for sure as we can only do that for now. But do it big. And do it loud. Be ‘alternative’. Fuck the norm. The norm is stupid, asleep and profane. Blast through. This piece is a good stimulation for just that. 

Lead the field. And leave the mud to the conformists. They clearly deserve nothing more. Even if the reason is in the past. Who cares? This world is ours. We need to take it back. ‘Prophets’ are above all one thing. Highly political.

This Idea Will Change The World. Mind Reading

We know what you’re thinking. No, really – we know what you’re thinking, right now. Actually, that’s not true – we can’t read your mind but brain researchers claim it might soon be possible. Really. Science is scarily close to allowing us to eavesdrop on each other’s innermost thoughts. 

Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, have used spectrograms and algorithms to try to decode human beings’ silent, inner voice. Participants were asked to read simple texts including Humpty Dumpty over and over, silently, in their head. Based on the sound wave patterns that activate sensory neurons in your inner ear (which then pass information to the brain to be interpreted as words), the Berkeley team tried to decode the silent voice. 

The algorithms need to be fine-tuned, apparently, but the scientists aren’t far away from achieving what a thousand stage show charlatans have claimed to be doing for centuries. “We got significant results but it’s not good enough yet to build a device,” said one Berkeley boffin. 

They say it’s a big step towards helping paralysed people communicate with the outside world. But it’s a little too close to science fiction for comfort. Just imagine it – the stranger next to you on the train hearing everything you think. You might have to silently recite Humpty Dumpty just to protect your darkest secrets.

The new educational website (Alchemy & Liberation & Humanity™ as a writing and speaking business of empowerment) will be announced. 

Meanwhile, enjoy the free writing and consciousness work on this website. It was written with blood, sweat and tears. The story of both my man and myself as we have struggled to re-define all that is relationship and marriage, the mutual journey of escape and evolution out of The Patriarchal Tribe.

The self discovery that took us from female slavery and male confusion and fascism into a society that was left behind a long time ago, when The New World Order took over and put men in charge, when they didn't even want it, by all that I have seen. Other than in sex as is the primal partnership. Our exploration is here. The world of Bluebeard Male Supremacy™ through to the Sacred Whore and High Female Esoteric Serpent Priesthood Society™, again, with men as the beloveds. Equality, Liberty, FRATERNITY. The New New World. Again.

Please feel free to read the material on this blog. My writings, plus work from other consciousness teachers too. My Manifesto for Human Rights (Especially Female) in Relationship and Family.

These writings will be produced in book form. Poetry Polemics for a better world of love, independence, sex and individuation. And true companionship and family. Power to the people, indeed. Together.

Thank you.

The Female Divine Highest Love Intelligence Energy. God The Mother, The Universe. Plus, the SACRED WHORE HIGH PRIESTESS HIEROPHANT AVATAR VALKYRIE WIZARD MONARCHs™ as the only true High Priests, with a GNOSTIC spirituality for all.

There is no love on earth. We are all here to fight for it, or be hate. We are here to be profound, or to be shallow. To be adventurers of the soul, or turgid and needing security, to be humane or greedy, to BE love, or BE hate. Earth is hell. Hell, created by hate, for hate, of hate. Free will is to choose which way to go. Love, or hate. That is Existentialism. That is evolution. That is the advancement of the soul. Hate to love. And nothing less. The conquering of evil by good. The light must push out the dark. The light must win.

Drugs are illegal for one single reason. And alcohol is legal for one the same single reason. 'They' don't want anyone to access consciousness. Why? Consciousness = self power = power. Alcohol numbs the mind. Drugs make it fly. Wisdom comes from flying. Drugs are illegal for one single reason. The ban on flying. The ban on wisdom. The ban on self power.

My Business Is Alchemy & Liberation & Humanity™

Feminism is not feminism. Feminism is anti slavery. They call us control freaks and that has to be watched. However, in the context of the truth, it is a ridiculous statement. It is the oppressor, calling the courageous campaigner for freedom and equality, the terrorist.

Feminism is not 'man hating'. Feminism is not feminism. Feminism is the movement against slavery. Humanitarianism is the same. Slavery must not exist in any form on earth. Slavery is everywhere.

From unpaid work in marriage to unpaid work in the family, to minimum wage in the market to a hundred other arenas, slavery is the way of earth.

Feminism and humanitarianism are the movements against it. Slavery is fascism. Fascism is everywhere. We just don't know it. They made sure that we don't know it. Now we do. And we will forever.

Society calls it bullying. Society calls it unfortunate, while propping it up in every single second, across the world. Fascism must die. Fascism will die. Fascism is to die.

That is World Ascension. The end of fascism.

True Love. Amera Ziganii Rao  

True love therefore is the ability between any two people, High Priesthood and Human, (male and female, Mars and Venus, whatever one wants to call it without Hierophant knowledge) where the urge to conquer and control and dominate in human is overcome, and the ability to love is returned. The state of soul in non High Priesthood. 

Love can exist and clearly does in many many places. Respect can be found, even camaraderie or fellowship and just love and tolerance of the other. But the state of TRUE love across the board is The Holy Grail. Real friendship, real honesty, real togetherness and therefore, real intimacy. When the urge to conquer, control and infantise and dominate is curbed, cut off and shoved in the back draw. 

In other words, when all teachings of The Patriarchal Tribe are dead. (For men obviously, but for women too and for High Priesthood of both genders. For everyone as everyone is inebriated with the teachings of the Patriarchal Tribe world, whether or not they know it and whether or not they like it). The Patriarchal Tribe world. The old world. The NON CONSCIOUSNESS world. The non humanity world and the world of soul sickness. Even for male esoterics. No real consciousness exists, without High Priesthood and I mean, the female kind. Anything else is just pretend. 

A male esoteric believes in female slavery just as a non esoteric. Ain't no consciousness going on there. The work has not even begun. We know why now. It's never been taught. And for deliberate reason. 

Only when all that is done, is that a state of true love. In relationship, family, friendships, work friendships, any kind of human relationship. When the urge to control is cut, when the friendship is a mutual, self examining high vibration of brotherhood and sisterhood and parenthood and childhood and lovehood. That is true love. 

True love is The Holy Grail. The Holy Grail is Ascension. Ascension is the alchemical transformation into wisdom. The rarest state of being on earth. For the most gifted. And then, gifted again. And for those who study for years. As true consciousness demands. As it should. 

Consciousness. The most powerful tool in The Universe. It is The Universe. True love. 

Love however is enough. It's a polite and bridge building form. A 'sistren' and brethren across the divide. For that though to be accepted, the heart has to be broken out of untruths into the truth. True love is nothing less than The Holy Grail. 1 in a million/two million attains The Holy Grail. That news brings tolerance. That news brings peace. That news brings leadership. Female High Priesthood has to lead. The leadership is in love. True love.

Sexuality, non religious 'Wizard' and 'Witch' spirituality (the Gnostic intelligence of esoteric and consciousness exploration, ie wisdom and love) and human rights are the least fashionable things and the most uncomfortable things on the planet.

This is about The Sacred Whore High Priestess™ and the Sacred Whore High Priest™, and the Alchemy and Liberation and Humanity that is for all as a result of their healing and in particular, hers. This is about the kind of woman who is at the bottom of the pile in a Patriarchal Toilet Tribe from Hell Society™, the norm, the conventional world and the world of the Tribe. This is about the kind of man who is next in line from the bottom. The sensitive man and the female chattel. The High Priestess and High Priest of a profane society, that has long forgotten who they are.

This is about being at the bottom of the pile, for the forgotten and strangled shamans, and for her, the story of escape. Abused by her family, her friends, her men, her whole society, by the very nature of who she is and who they are and what has happened on this Earth. It is about women of love, of Spirit and of sex. It is about men of love, of Spirit and of sex. It is about the Cinderellas of this world. It is about the The Sacred Whore High Priestess™. Who she is and how, loving her is the secret to Paradise on Earth and how we have been living a lie for 8000+ years. A lie of male (non High Priest) religion with a male ‘God’ and with Patriarchs and Patriarchal types and Matriarchs and Matriarchal types ruling over us and making our lives hell, all in the name of family, the tribe and the way things are and should remain. Hate, fascism and profanity. A sick society that vilifies, more than anyone else, the The Sacred Whore High Priestess™, just because it was told to. A sick society that calls her Eve. A sick society that has forgotten who we all are, let alone the The Sacred Whore High Priestess™ and the Sacred Whore High Priest™. This is about us remembering and knowing who WE are.

This is a programme of healing for the The Sacred Whore High Priestess™, and the Sacred Whore High Priest™, to take them and particularly, her, from monstrous levels of low self esteem and lack of self knowledge, back to herself and it is a programme for all those who truly want to love her, and indeed, him. This is a programme for the greatest carers on Earth, who are vilified, destroyed, ridiculed, ignored, abused, used, misused and hated for being everything that those who would steal from us are not. This is a programme to turn Cinderellas into The Sacred Whore High Priestesses and for anyone who wants to love her or live by the values of the The Sacred Whore High Priestess Society™. And this is a programme to turn sensitive men into Sacred Whore High Priests™ and for anyone who wants to love him and live by the values of the The Sacred Whore High Priestess™ and High Priest Society. Love, humanity, Spirit and sex. This is a programme to reverse 8000+ years of witch burning, women hating and healer ridicule. This is about the The Sacred Whore High Priestess™ and all those who would love her and live by her values.

This is about the chance for Paradise on Earth. This is a programme for the most beautiful, kind hearted, wounded women and men on this planet. A programme of how to implement a system of how to beat life, how to survive life and how to resurrect from the grief that is a true life. Alchemy and Liberation and Humanity of the lower mind into the higher mind, the soul and the inner heart and therefore one's true, confident, ‘happy’, successful, creative, sexual, sensual, individual, intelligent, emotionally healed, capable of loving and being loved self. How to turn grief into creation and survive and thrive, despite all the shit, all the pain and all the hurt. How to live in a world of madness, hollowness and cruelty and how to be a winner. How to stand up for oneself and to take back the power that has been stolen from anyone with heart, Spirit and sex. The art and science of Alchemy.

This is a programme, based on my scholarly and non scholarly work over 15 years (so far), if not for my whole life, and my extensive and intense, visceral experiences of self transformation from resignation, cynicism and despair to a state of relative bliss, and above all, the right to be. The programme and the courses and my speaking and indeed my forthcoming book, will cover the method of change. The psychological, sociological, spiritual, cultural, political, emotional and physical and even anthropological methods of change. Why we are here. Who the Sacred Whore High Priestess™ is and why she is here. And who the Sacred Whore High Priest™ is. Why we are here. Who we are and what we are and why we are. The beauty and glory of the truth. The meaning of life, no less. This will be on offer in the future.

My first book of consciousness, my first book of the spiritual politics of humanity, of authentic power and of self love and strength. A comprehensive series of online courses, live events and audio and visual material. Books, live events, CDs and DVDs. And one on one personal empowerment consultations. The Amera Ziganii Rao Method of Change™. The right to be and the way to have the right to be. And indeed, how to maintain the will to live without love. How to BE unconditional, self sufficient, self caring, self love. The right to be and the will to be and the unparalleled success that comes with that. The Lost Knowledge™. HOW to live. And how to heal others, the profane and the sick and the soulless. The others. My Business and that of any Sacred Whore High Priestess™ and Sacred Whore High Priest™, is Human Rights, The Right to a Sexual Society, Self Actualisation and Freedom.

My Business is To Overthrow Fascism, in the Home and in the Country. My business is also mastering destiny. Overthrowing the ultimate 'fascism'. Our journey on Earth and The Return To The Source. Our healing, our ascension and our redemption. Fate. The daily crucifixions of a true life, the challenges and the fury of being healers and people of love on a planet like Earth.

Submitting to the journey to liberate and evolve oneself, through following one's heart, however much heartbreak and devastation it leads to on the long long long journey to freedom and then the longer journey to happiness. 'Long Road to Freedom', as Nelson Mandela says. My business is always taking risks, never giving up and making the endless sacrifices it takes to become whole. Enlightenment, Nirvana and then Parinirvana and beyond. My business is pain. My business is bliss.

My business is seeing the truly glory of Spirit on Earth. The Sacred Whore High Priestess Society™ and all that it is. Spirit, humanity, sex and love again at last. And the end of our legacy as either servants or witches or unpaid carers or indeed, ignored mistresses, other women, other men even, and the weirdos that are at the bottom of society. This is our world and it is time to take it back and I can show you how. And that makes my life, truly, worth living.

I want you to feel the way I do. Alive, with the right to be and the belligerence to exist in this profane and male ‘God’ led world of male supremacy, female supremacy, domestic, casual fascism, tribe rules from hell, with beautiful and kind, love intelligence laden, female and male Cinderella warriors at the bottom, caring for everyone else and getting nothing but hatred, ridicule and isolation for it. The meek are already inheriting the Earth and I can show you how.

I enter the magical hours of pure feeling, pure thought, pure imagination and I think and I write and I 'mysticise' the Universe. I escape at will, the truth of my humanless, Samurai solitude, and I pursue the truth of love in myself and in everyone else. I am philosopher. I am shaman. I am alone. I frontier the Soul to be spirit on Earth.

To trust your soul is to have courage. The courage to ‘get out of the way’. It takes a commitment to courage, a changing of the very matter of one’s access to courage, one’s relationship with courage and becoming the total renegade of an individual you have to, to become soul. It is that rare. ‘Getting out of the way’ takes a commitment to love and loving and being of love, no matter what. And frankly, that means redefining what love is, EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. Finding out what love really is and getting rid of the bullshit we think it is. Love. Soul. Power. It takes courage to be soul. Courage, courage and courage. The rest is easy. Soul is soul. Finally it is an absolute relief to get out of the way. The life of soul may be hair raising, treacherous and mind numbingly arduous. But it is a life of no regrets. Courage. The key to soul. Just give it a go. Wear that hat, say what’s on your mind, dream your dreams again, dream your dreams at all and just smile through the hate. Including one’s doubt. Courage. ‘Kill’ when you have to, especially yourself, and smile the rest of the time and cry when you need to. Always cry. Earth is a battlefield and crying is the way to win. Soul is a way of life. The natural way. Courage is ‘all’ it takes. We learnt the rules, only so we could break them. The rest is the art of life. Creation. Creating oneself again and again and again. Soul. The only way of life worth anything. Otherwise, we are just waiting to die. We don’t need to. We can live. It’s called soul.

Self esteem. True, authentic, self knowing, self esteem. The one that includes the sex, the primal, the primitive, the animal, the real. The one that includes humanity and a state of unconditional love. Non needing, non greedy, non controlling, non afraid, non negative and non inhumane and non angry. Self esteem. What ego really is, in its true essence. The physical vehicle of self esteem. The physical vehicle of action, reaction, mastery, ‘misstery’, love and war, tenderness and sexuality. Humanity and human. The beautiful, crafted, styled, educated, aware, sincere, active, visceral, sexual, super sexual, heart led, sensitive, humane, courageous and ethical, hopeful ego. The instinct. The intuition. The magic. The primal. The whole. The whole Soul.

I can feel your sexuality. I love it. My beautiful, filthy, dominating, obsessed, possessed, hedonistic, nihilistic, Sacred beast of a man. Because those of us who are the most sexual, what do we think, in the truth context of the The Sacred Whore High Priestess™, and The Sacred Whore High Priestess (Priest) Society™, that means? We are the most spiritual. The most sexual are in fact the most spiritual. Spirituality being the communing between Mortal and The High Priestess (Priest) to reach ecstasy. Orgasm. Bliss. The most active, dirty minded, passionate, non reproductive, hedonistic, glorious, worthwhile, point of life, meditation or prayer or communing on Earth. THE way to reach God, The Mother, The Universe™. THE way to happiness. Humanity. Joy. Hope. Love. Sex. Sex. Our sex. Sex.

Love takes courage. Love takes being ready. Love takes love.

In the meantime, please enjoy this website. I have included many of the subjects I am covering, areas of experience and insight that I will be exploring to the fullest in my book, the courses and all the other work that is to come as a dramatist, novelist and essayist. I also of course, include many of the wise people on this planet, who have come long before me; authors, screen dramatists, playwrights, film makers, artists, and other enlighteners and grand carriers of the wisdom I have found the most helpful on my journey, to find peace and become enlightened. The seemingly impossible journey, in the face of oneself and one’s circumstances. People who have contributed massively to my healing on this mad journey called life, in this insane existence called The Universe. People who have helped to make me as good a carrier of wisdom as I in turn, can be. Thank you.
