Jupiter
http://seds.lpl.arizona.edu/nineplanets/nineplanets/jupiter.html
Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and by far the largest.
Jupiter is more than twice as massive as all the other planets
combined (318 times Earth).
orbit: 778,330,000 km (5.20 AU) from Sun
diameter: 142,984 km (equatorial)
mass: 1.900e27 kg
The gas planets do not have solid surfaces, their gaseous
material simply gets denser with depth (the radii and diameters
quoted for the planets are for levels corresponding to a
pressure of 1 atmosphere). What we see when looking at these
planets is the tops of clouds high in their atmospheres
(slightly above the 1 atmosphere level).
Jupiter is about 90% hydrogen and 10% helium (by numbers of atoms,
75/25% by mass) with traces of methane, water, ammonia and "rock".
This is very close to the composition of the primordial Solar
Nebula from which the entire solar system was formed. Saturn has a
similar composition, but Uranus and Neptune have much less
hydrogen and helium.
Jupiter probably has a core of rocky material amounting to
something like 10 to 15 Earth-masses.
Above the core lies the main bulk of the planet in the form of
liquid metallic hydrogen. This exotic form of the most common
of elements is possible only at pressures exceeding 4 million
bars, as is the case in the interior of Jupiter (and Saturn).
Liquid metallic hydrogen consists of ionized protons and
electrons (like the interior of the Sun but at a far lower
temperature).
At the temperature and pressure of Jupiter's interior hydrogen
is a liquid, not a gas. It is an electrical conductor and the
source of Jupiter's magnetic field. This layer probably also
contains some helium and traces of various "ices".
The outermost layer is composed primarily of ordinary molecular
hydrogen and helium which is liquid in the interior and gaseous
further out. The atmosphere we see is just the very top of this
deep layer. Water, carbon dioxide, methane and other simple
molecules are also present in tiny amounts.
Jupiter would have to be at least 80 times
more massive to become a star.
Jupiter has a huge magnetic field, much stronger than Earth's.
Its magnetosphere extends more than 650 million km (past the
orbit of Saturn!). (Note that Jupiter's magnetosphere is far
from spherical -- it extends "only" a few million kilometers in
the direction toward the Sun.) Jupiter's moons therefore lie
within its magnetosphere, a fact which may partially explain
some of the activity on Io. Unfortunately for future space
travelers and of real concern to the designers of the Voyager
and Galileo spacecraft, the environment near Jupiter contains
high levels of energetic particles trapped by Jupiter's magnetic
field. This "radiation" is similar to, but much more intense
than, that found within Earth's Van Allen belts. It would be
immediately fatal to an unprotected human being.
The Galileo atmospheric probe discovered a new intense radiation
belt between Jupiter's ring and the uppermost atmospheric layers.
This new belt is approximately 10 times as strong as Earth's
Van Allen radiation belts. Surprisingly, this new belt was also
found to contain high energy helium ions of unknown origin.
Jupiter has rings like Saturn's, but much fainter and smaller.
Unlike Saturn's, Jupiter's rings are dark (albedo about .05).
They're probably composed of very small grains of rocky material.
Unlike Saturn's rings, they seem to contain no ice.
In July 1994, Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 collided with Jupiter with
spectacular results. The effects were clearly visible even with
amateur telescopes. The debris from the collision was visible for
nearly a year afterward with Hubble Space Telescope (HST).
Jupiter has 61 known satellites (as of May 2003):
the four large Galilean moons, 34 smaller named ones,
plus many more small ones discovered recently but not yet
named. http://www.ifa.hawaii.edu/~sheppard/satellites/

Information on some Basic Rules of The Game
from Matrix V Gold Edition
© Leading Edge International
Research Group. All Rights Reserved.
The use of the word 'Game' originates with the Higher Selves.
The Empire and the Dark do NOT consider it a game in any way
and do not appreciate the reference. Game is used because of
the challenges and object: to overcome all the Empire's best
technology and manipulation to regain your identity (Final Incarnation),
gather huge amounts of sensory experiences/emotional experiences
and develop wisdom. It is a challenge in that you begin with no
memory of who you are and have to regain it by means your own
Higher Self decides.
There is no single path to this enlightenment but there are many
false paths put there by the Empire and the Dark to keep you from
finding yourself (religion, for example). Every Higher Self will
succeed, some faster and some slower, but all will eventually
succeed. To find out what you need to do, you must access your
Higher Self.
Robert Monroe developed the key to this. It is to access a level
of consciousness that Monroe called Focus 12. That's how I learned
and I know no other way. It's a matter of going within instead of
without. When Monroe told the one group I was in how to do it, no
one, except me, was interested in doing so. This is something a Final
Incarnation really wants to do (access the Higher Self). It cannot be
done by someone for you as only you (as your Dominant and Final
Incarnations) can have this access and Dominants may not consciously
realize they've been there (during sleep) unless psychic oriented.
The material I've been releasing has not been released publicly for
thousands of years. You can find threads of it in Credo Mutwa's
material and Robert Monroe's books, for example. This material is
highly suppressed and you can see why.
Val is to be honored for putting it out for access to anyone.
Even if they aren't ready to handle it, it will have an effect
on their spirit which will assist in their 'future'. This material,
in its form on Val's site, is unique and the vast majority of the
information has never appeared elsewhere. It is not in the interest
of the Empire that you know these things for it is spirit, not body
oriented. That this information is out now should tell you something
about Earth's immediate future. Think on that.
I have told you about simultaneous and sequential incarnations and
some of the implications of each. However, for those Higher Selves
involved in the Game, there is one constant: all pre-3rd density
memories are kept from the incarnations until the 3rd density path
is complete. This is why even though the sequential incarnations
retain their past, 3rd density incarnational life memories, they
have to build from a clean slate with a first incarnation.
With each following incarnation, more information is added.
The simultaneous incarnations also start 3rd density with a clean
memory slate in order to participate in the Game. But this group
is adding to the Higher Self's memories from all incarnations at
once, scattered throughout Earther 3rd density time periods.
In both cases NO pre-Game memories are lost, just hidden. What can
work against spiritual advancement is the desire for physical
immortality, a passion for the Orion Empire. BUT, when you look at
reptilian royals, who are fanatics about cloning and life
extensions, they don't advance spiritually. The Orion Empire
reptilians are pretty stagnant spiritually, however this does
serve a purpose in the Game. It is not for me to say more on their
path as our concern is our simultaneous path. Just know it all
works out in the end.
Another negative on the sequential path, from a simultaneous
point of view, is that they tend to choose reincarnation in the
same star group, i.e., Pleiadian, Tau Ceti, etc. They don't have
the vast variety of Earther incarnations that simultaneous
incarnates here jump around in. This severely cuts down on
experiences. There is also far less gender jumping incarnations
among them. They can get comfortable in either male or female
bodies and rarely hop into the other. This is one of the reasons
why the Errans of Taygeta (Pleiadian) are homophobic.
Needless to say, those Higher Selves who don't choose simultaneous
paths are definitely much less adventurous. The Game is far more
complex and there are certain segments of it you must discover on
your own at some point in your progression. That the simultaneous
incarnates are developing so rapidly toward spiraling out (thus
winning) the Game and leaving the sequentials to slowly progress
on their own is significant. When the Earther experience is
completed, ALL Earther Higher Selves will have proceeded to new
levels while the sequentials continue along on their path MINUS
the Earther faction. That should give you something to think about!

Hijacking The Gods - Of Hoagland, Cayce, Egypt, Mars, &
The Stargate Conspiracy ... http://www.cyberspaceorbit.com/
[Exclusive extract from a lecture at the Templar Lodge Hotel, Gullane,
near Edinburgh, Scotland, 6th June 1999]
It was very surprising set of circumstances that led us to write our new
book, The Stargate Conspiracy. We did not set to write such a book.
Rather, we intended to pursue certain lines of research following on from
our last book, The Templar Revelation, in which we concluded that
Christianity was an off-shoot of the Egyptian mystery religion of Isis and
Osiris. In that book, we only took the story back to the Egypt of the first
century. It was our intention to extend the research further back into the
history of Egypt and the roots of its religion.
Our research led us back to the most ancient religion known from
ancient Egypt, that of Heliopolis, whose beliefs and cosmology, which
are encapsulated in the Pyramid Texts, inspired the builders of the Great
Pyramid of Giza. Inevitably, we were drawn into considering the
mysteries posed by the great monuments of the Pyramid Age. And, of
course, we could not ignore the recent flood of high-profile books
dealing with, and offering solutions to, those mysteries, which make up
what has been called 'alternative Egyptology'.
Throughout the 1990s, many books, challenging the arrogance and
complacency of academic Egyptology and opening our eyes to the
wonders of that ancient culture, have reached a huge audience
world-wide. In this field, two names stand out above the rest: Graham
Hancock and Robert Bauval, authors - jointly and separately - of such
books as The Orion Mystery, Fingerprints of the Gods, Keeper of
Genesis and, most recently, The Mars Mystery.
It was looking at these new theories and ideas that led our research in a
very unexpected direction, and which led ultimately to The Stargate
Conspiracy.
We need to make a very important point at the outset. Much of what we
are about to say is critical of some of these new ideas, and you may even
begin to suspect that we are, in some way, sceptics. This is not so. We
believe that there are genuine mysteries about ancient Egypt - such as
how (and why) they built the pyramids, where their civilisation came
from, and how they knew many of the things that they knew. We are not
admirers of the obstinate arrogance of academic Egyptology, and have
enormous reverence for ancient Egypt, its culture and religion, and the
achievements of its people. It is precisely because we have such
reverence that we feel so strongly about the way that the very real
mysteries of Egypt have, effectively, been hijacked in order to serve
other agendas.
Where there is a mystery there is the potential for exploitation, by
offering apparent solutions that support particular systems of belief. This
potential is even stronger when the mystery involves something as
evocative as ancient Egypt, whose works, such as the pyramids and
Sphinx, speak so powerfully to our imaginations.
The Alternative Egyptology tries to explain the enigma of the advanced
technical knowledge of the ancient Egyptians - as displayed most
obviously in the building of the Great Pyramid - by one of two theories
(or sometimes a combination of the two). The first is that the ancient
Egyptians were merely an off-shoot, or heirs, of a much older, advanced
civilisation - such as Atlantis - which has been erased from history by
some global catastrophe. The second is that the great monuments of the
ancient world were either built by, or the skills to build them taught by,
visitors from another world.
One of the most influential of books in this field is The Sirius Mystery by
Robert Temple, which was first published in 1976 and in an extensively
updated edition in 1998. As many of you will know, it homes in on the
extraordinary knowledge of a West African tribe, the Dogon of Mali.
The Dogon religion centres on the star Sirius. There is nothing unusual
about that because, as Sirius is the brightest star in the sky, many
cultures have incorporated it into their beliefs and mythology. However,
what intrigued Temple - and many others - was that French
anthropologists who studied the Dogon religion reported that they also
believed that Sirius has a companion - a very small and very heavy star
that is invisible to the naked eye.
We now know that this is true. Sirius is a binary star system, with a
second, white dwarf star - very small, very heavy - in orbit around the
main star. Sirius B, as it is called, was only discovered in 1842, and it
was not photographed until the 1970s. How, then, could the Dogon
have known about it?
Temple's theory is that the knowledge of Sirius B originated from actual
contact with extraterrestrials from a planet in the Sirius system. He
argues that this contact took place, not in West Africa, but in the Middle
East, among the ancient civilisations of Egypt and Sumer, and that the
extraterrestrials were responsible for the development of those
civilisations - and therefore, ultimately, of our own. The knowledge of
that contact, and of Sirius B, was incorporated into Egyptian and
Sumerian mythology, and the secret was passed on to the Greeks, and
then to various other cultures, eventually reaching the Dogon.
Because of its apparently academic and scholarly approach, Temple's
book received a level of critical acclaim and acceptance that set it apart
from other 'ancient astronaut' theories, such as those of Erich von
Daniken. .
The anomalous knowledge of the Dogon - not just about Sirius, but
many other things - does present a genuine mystery. However, Temple
was keen to link this with ancient Egypt, and here, in our view, his case
is less than persuasive, as major parts of his argument are based on
factual errors, and are often contrived.
For example, one of the key points in his case involves the interpretation
of myths connected with Anubis, the jackal-headed god of the dead. His
justification for this is that Sirius is known as the 'Dog Star', so, by a
process of ideas we go from dog to jackal to Anubis. Therefore, when
the ancient Egyptians spoke about Anubis they were really talking about
Sirius, or rather Sirius B.
But there is a major problem with this - the ancient Egyptians did not
associate Sirius with Anubis. For them, Sirius was the star of the
goddess Isis, and sometimes, by extension, her son Horus. It was the
Greeks who called Sirius the Dog Star, because it was in the
constellation that they named the Great Dog (Canis Major). The
Egyptians never made a connection between Sirius and either Anubis or
dogs. Therefore, Temple's use of legends connected with Anubis is
based on an entirely false premise.
Another chain of associations followed by Temple relates to the
Hermetic literature - the magical and philosophical texts ascribed to the
legendary sage Hermes Trismegistus - which he believes incorporates
references to the 'Sirius secret'. His justification for doing so is that - he
says - the Greeks equated their god Hermes with Anubis.
Amazingly, Temple has (as far as we are aware) gone unchallenged on
this point for more than twenty years - because it is just plain wrong.
Hermes was the equivalent of the Egyptian Thoth, not Anubis. Once
again, Temple has based an entire line of reasoning on a mistake. But
such is his influence that many people have simply accepted it.
There are many similar examples in Temple's book, which in our view
seriously undermine his attempt to trace the 'Sirius secret' - and
therefore the visitation of beings from Sirius - back to ancient Egypt.
Temple makes another mistake in The Sirius Mystery, which is a small
slip in itself, and of no particular significance to his argument, but which
does - as we will see - have some very important ramifications in another
context.
Temple gives as one of the ancient Egyptian names for the Sphinx of
Giza the words arq ur. Many others, using Temple as their authority,
have since repeated this as fact. Unfortunately, arq ur does not mean
'Sphinx'. It means 'silver'. The mistake arose because Temple misread
the entry for arq ur in Sir E.A. Wallis Budge's classic 1920 dictionary of
Egyptian hieroglyphs.
Against the entry for arq ur, two English words appear after the
hieroglyphs. One is 'silver', the correct definition. The other reads
'Sphinx, 2, 8'. This is not a definition, but a reference to Budge's source,
a French Egyptological journal called Sphinx. The '2' refers to the
volume, and '8' the page number. On page 8 of volume 2 are the
hieroglyphs for 'silver' that Budge used in his dictionary.
This mistake does not carry any particular significance for Temple's
overall argument, as he mentions it only in passing - but it does turn up in
some very surprising places.
The revised edition of The Sirius Mystery, published last year, contains
some significant new material.
In the original 1976 edition, Temple only argued the case for
extraterrestrial contact in the ancient past. In the new edition he has
extended his argument to the imminent return of these 'space-gods'. He
now believes that they did not return home to the Sirius system, but
placed themselves in suspended animation somewhere in our solar
system, so that one day they would awaken and return to see how the
civilisation that they created has developed. Temple suggests that their
return is now imminent.
Also in the new edition, Temple claims that The Sirius Mystery attracted
the unwelcome interest of both the CIA and the British intelligence
services. In fact, he says that the CIA tried to interfere with his research
while he was writing the book, and that after it came out they persecuted
him for the next 15 years.
The implication is that the CIA wanted to hinder Temple's research for
The Sirius Mystery, which in turn implies that they wanted to stop him
writing the book - which implies that, for some reason, they didn't want
us to read it.
There is no doubt that Temple is being sincere, as he can by no means
be called a paranaoic with a fear of persecution by the CIA. He tells the
story of their harassment with some indignation - since he is himself a
staunch supporter and defender of that agency. For example, in a 1989
book about the 'uses and abuses' of hypnosis, he defends the CIA's
excesses in their notorious mind control research of the 1950s and 60s,
as exemplified most infamously in their MKULTRA project. In fact,
Temple proudly proclaims that he refused even to read books exposing
these experiments.
However, if the CIA did want to stop The Sirius Mystery from being
published, this is hardly a good advertisement for their efficiency.
Similarly, the implication that the CIA persecuted him for the next 15
years because he had written the book does not make much sense.
What was the point, if the book was already out? Not only that, but they
also failed to prevent him publishing a new, updated version - which
includes the story of their interest in the book.
In fact, the knowledge of their interest in, and apparent opposition to,
The Sirius Mystery only adds to its appeal. It actively encourages
interest in the book, on the grounds that, if the CIA don't want us to
read it, there must be something worth reading. We suspect that this was
the CIA's real intention, in a classic example of reverse psychology.
The above examples of mistakes in Temple's book demonstrate the
need for careful checking of such claims. As researchers, this is
something that we always try to do. And it was something that we did
when we looked into the work of the two major names in Alternative
Egyptology, Robert Bauval and Graham Hancock.
As most of you will know, Hancock and Bauval's work centres on the
importance of the year 10500 BC. Around this time, they argue, some
cataclysm took place that destroyed an advanced, global civilisation.
Some of its knowledge survived and formed the basis of the ancient
Egyptian civilisation. They also argue that the survivors left us messages
encoded in such monuments as the pyramids and Sphinx of Giza.
On the face of it, this seems an exciting and even reasonable idea. But
let's examine their evidence more closely.
In The Orion Mystery (1993), Robert Bauval argues that the three
pyramids of Giza were built to mirror the three stars of Orion's Belt.
This, in itself, is fine - it seems to work. But Bauval uses his 'Giza-Orion
Correlation Theory' to link the monuments to a much more ancient
period.
His argument is this. The three pyramids form an angle of 45 degrees to
the north-south meridian. To make the correlation perfect, when the
stars cross the celestial meridian they should form the same angle.
However, when the Great Pyramid was built - in approximately 2500
BC - they didn't. Because of the precession of the equinoxes, the
position of the stars changes over time. Bauval reasoned that if he could
find a period at which the stars formed the same angle as the pyramids,
this would pinpoint a significant time - a time to which the
pyramid-builders were trying to draw our attention. When he used
computer simulations to wind back the precessional cycle, he found that
Orion's Belt was in the 'Giza position' in 10500 BC.
However, when we decided to double check this, things took a rather
surprising turn. We discovered that the geometrician Robin J. Cook,
who actually produced the diagrams for The Orion Mystery, although
agreeing with most of Bauval's theory, strongly disagreed with this part
of Bauval's conclusions. We decided to check for ourselves to find out
who was right.
We found that the Belt stars were not in the 'Giza position' in 10500
BC. To find the stars in this position - according to the same computer
program used by Bauval - we have to go back to about 12000 BC at
the earliest.
It seems that Bauval had simply made a mistake, and miscalculated by a
couple of thousand years. However, we will come back to this...
Probably the most famous development concerning ancient Egypt in the
last ten years has been the redating of the Sphinx by the erosion of the
limestone out of which it has been carved.
According to conventional Egyptology, the Sphinx was carved out of the
Giza plateau somewhere around 2500 BC. However, many - most
notably leading alternative Egyptologist John Anthony West - maintained
that it is, in reality, far older.
West believed that the erosion of the Sphinx was not caused by the
action of wind-blown sand, but by water. He believed that this was due
to a great flood - the flood that drowned Atlantis - and argued that if this
could be proven scientifically, this would be an important step in not only
establishing the true age of the Egyptian civilisation, but also the existence
of Atlantis. Eventually, he succeeded in getting American geologist
Robert Schoch to take a look.
Shoch concluded that the erosion was due to water - centuries of
exposure to rain water. But, as he pointed out, if this was the case, the
Sphinx must have been there during the last period of substantial rainfall
in Egypt, which occurred between about 7000 and 5000 BC. This
means that the Sphinx must be at least 2,500, and perhaps as much as
5,000, years older than Egyptologists will admit.
John Anthony West claims that Schoch's work vindicates his ideas.
However, it needs to be pointed out that West believed that a flood was
responsible for the erosion - and that, by finding that it was actually due
to prolonged exposure to rainwater, Schoch has proven him just as
wrong as he has the academic Egyptologists.
Schoch concluded that the Sphinx could have been built as long ago as
7000 BC. However, both West and Graham Hancock have used his
work in support of a much earlier date - 10500 BC. They have been so
successful in this that many people now regard this as virtually proven.
West and Hancock argue that the wet period pinpointed by Schoch was
not long enough to cause the erosion we see on the Sphinx. Instead, they
point to a wet period that, they say, happened in the eleventh millennium
BC - that is, around 10500 BC. Graham Hancock writes in Fingerprints
of the Gods that at this time 'it rained and rained and rained.'
Imagine our surprise when we checked the sources on the climate of
ancient and prehistoric Egypt - including the source cited by Hancock
himself - and found that there was no wet period in the eleventh
millennium BC.
Like Robert Bauval, Hancock and West appear to have made a simple
mistake - but one that also happens to come out at the date of
10500 BC.
In his recent book Heaven's Mirror, co-authored with his wife Santha
Faiia, and in the accompanying Channel 4 television series, Hancock has
extended his argument in favour of that date to other ancient monuments
around the world - for example, the complex of Hindu temples at
Angkor in Cambodia. (Although these do not really qualify as ancient, as
the earliest was built in the eleventh century AD.)
Hancock argues that these temples were laid out to represent the
constellation of Draco - in the position in which it was found in 10500
BC. However, when we looked into this we found that there really is no
correlation between the temples and the stars. There are temples which
do not correspond to any of the stars of Draco, stars for which there is
no corresponding temple - and, in any case, the pattern formed by the
temples, as reconstructed by Hancock, bears very little resemblance to
Draco.
It seems that Hancock, Bauval and West are, for some reason, keen to
make sure that their research pinpoints the year 10500 BC - whether or
not the data actually fits.
But why 10500 BC?
Perhaps it is connected with the prophecies of the American psychic
Edgar Cayce - for whom Hancock and Bauval seem to have a great
deal of respect.
Edgar Cayce, known as the 'Sleeping Prophet', who died in 1945, is
widely believed to be a simple, uneducated Kentucky man, who entered
a trance state and made pronouncements about the ancient past as well
as giving predictions for the future. According to Cayce, the Great
Pyramid and Sphinx were built by survivors from Atlantis - in 10500
BC. He said that the Atlanteans had built an underground 'Hall of
Records' that contains the collected wisdom of their race and which, he
said, would be discovered in 1998. This would somehow trigger a New
Age, and the emergence of a new race.
We spent a lot of time looking at Cayce's predictions - and found that,
despite the fact that his followers claim that he was 'close to one
hundred per cent accurate', you would be hard pressed to find even one
of his prophecies that has come true.
For example, recently someone told us that Cayce was a brilliant
prophet because, in the early 1940s, he predicted that China would
become Communist by 1968. Of course, if true, that would be
impressive. Unfortunately, what Cayce actually said was that China
would become Christian by 1968.
But even so Cayce is extremely interesting. Far from being a virtual
simpleton, he was extremely widely read, and as a young man worked in
several bookstores. He was also entrusted with setting up new lodges
for his fellow Freemasons. But more significant than that were his
contacts.
We discovered that, just after the First World War, Cayce was called in
to advise President Woodrow Wilson. The person who arranged this
was a close friend of Cayce's, Colonel Edmond Starling, who was head
of the US Secret Service.
Cayce was best known for the cures that he prescribed while in trance,
which were often genuinely impressive. This is what hooked his
admirers, who made the fatal error of assuming that all his psychic
abilities were just as good. However, as we have seen, it turns out that
this is not the case. But people at the time did not know that his
predictions would fail, and he was feted by leading industrialists, top
politicians - including at least one President - senior Army commanders,
and members of the intelligence services.
Cayce, as we have seen, predicted the finding of the Hall of Records at
Giza. It is interesting that there have been many attempts to find the Hall
of Records there in the last 25 years. It needs to be pointed out that the
ancient Egyptians themselves never mentioned any such thing in the
context of Giza, nor is there any archaeological evidence for it. The
concept of the Hall of Records comes entirely from Edgar Cayce.
As we would expect, the prime movers in the search for the Hall of
Records have been the Association for Research and Enlightenment
(ARE), which was formed by Cayce in the 1930s and continues to
promote his work.
Other key players on the Giza plateau (sometimes working in
collaboration with ARE) have been a team from a very interesting
organisation called SRI International (formerly the Stanford Research
Institute - ed.). This is one of the world's biggest private scientific
research institutes, and it has a reputation - which we discovered is
justified - for working closely with the American military and intelligence
community. Around 75 per cent of SRI's income comes from contracts
with the Pentagon and other US government agencies, including the
CIA.
SRI made many expeditions to Egypt during the 1970s, taking with it
state-of-the-art equipment designed to locate hidden chambers. The
team was led by physicist Dr Lambert Dolphin Jr. But it is interesting that
they gave up looking at Giza in 1979, apparently without having found
anything. However, since then the mystique of the Hall of Records has
continued to be built up, so that there is an expectation of revelations
coming from Egypt in the near future.
Now that 1998 - when Cayce said the Hall of Records would be found
- has passed, rumours are beginning to circulate that it was found in the
form of the so-called Tomb of Osiris. This is a chamber at the bottom of
a shaft some 120 feet beneath the Giza plateau not far from the Sphinx,
which was re-excavated last year. It has no records of any kind in it, and
yet attempts are being made to pass this off as somehow confirming
Cayce's prophecy. In any case, it was first excavated in the 1930s.
The point is that, if any of these people find something that might be a
Hall of Records, it will be taken as proof that Cayce was right not only
about his version of ancient history, but also in his predictions of
imminent global transformation. But you can be sure that, if the year
2000 comes and goes without any Hall of Records, the same people will
continue to exploit the increasingly fervent longing for it to be found.
Make no mistake: Egypt itself is a very potent symbol. This has not
escaped those that deal in the exploitation of belief systems - such as the
intelligence agencies.
Another emotive issue is the whole question of life on other planets, and
recently we have seen a concerted effort to connect ancient Egypt with a
putative lost civilisation on Mars, as for example, in Hancock and
Bauval's 1998 book The Mars Mystery.
Everybody will be familiar with the so-called Face on Mars and
Pyramids of Mars, features of an area of known as Cydonia that some
argue can only be artificial. They were discovered in photographs taken
by the Viking mission in 1976.
Their most enthusiastic exponent is science writer Richard C. Hoagland.
Since the early 1980s, Hoagland has run a well-funded group which is
currently called the Enterprise Mission. Although there are other, more
cautious, researchers in this field whose work deserves serious
consideration, Hoagland and his team's primary aim is not simply to
promote the idea of artificial structures on Mars, but to extrapolate from
their existence a message for Earth today - and for our immediate future.
They also try to link the alleged monuments of Cydonia to ancient Egypt.
Hoagland's own message is that the Martian monuments were built by
an extraterrestrial civilisation that came from outside our solar system,
who also visited ancient Egypt and influenced the development of that
civilisation - and who are about to return.
Unfortunately for Hoagland, the so-called Face was re-imaged by the
Mars Global Surveyor last year, and shown to be nothing more than a
featureless rocky outcrop. Dismissing the new pictures as 'crap',
Hoagland is unrepentant and continues to maintain the Egypt-Mars
connection.
And in this Hancock and Bauval agree. To them also there is a link
between Mars and Egypt. Those authors use many of the same
arguments as Hoagland to try to prove the link. (Robert Temple, in the
new edition of The Sirius Mystery, has also endorsed the Face on Mars,
believing it to be connected with beings from Sirius.)
We ourselves think that the Mars story is by no means clear-cut. For
example, the Pyramids of Cydonia do seem strange for natural
formations. On the data currently available, it would be arrogant to
dismiss the case for them being artificial. However, we do disagree when
it comes to extrapolating messages from these features and trying to link
them with ancient Egypt. Here, we find that the arguments put forward
simply do not stand up.
Essentially the argument is this - and it's not much: there are pyramids on
Mars and there are pyramids in Egypt. But, of course, there are
pyramids in many places on Earth, and the Martian pyramids are
different in shape - the most prominent one, for example, is five-sided -
and size from those in Egypt.
Hoagland, Hancock and Bauval also argue that Giza and Mars do not
only have pyramids in common - but both also have a Sphinx! This
depends on whether you consider the Martian Face to be a Sphinx.
Well, they both have faces...
Then they fall back on linguistics - or rather, as we have discovered,
pseudo-linguistics. For example, Hoagland, Hancock and Bauval make
much of one of the ancient Egyptian names of the Sphinx, Horakhti,
which means 'Horus of the Horizon'. They claim that there are two
ancient Egyptian words, one meaning 'Horus' and the other meaning
'face', that sound exactly alike: heru. So Horakhti, they say, can be
translated as 'Face of the Horizon'. Could this be a description of the
Face on Mars, which would be on the horizon when viewed from some
of the other features? Well, no. For a start, the thing that none of these
authors tell us is that heru is a plural form of the word for 'face', so it
actually means 'faces'. Besides, the hieroglyphs for the two words are
completely different. In any case, because hieroglyphs don't include
vowels, which therefore have to be largely guessed at, how can anybody
say that any two ancient Egyptian words sounded alike?
Another linguistic loophole involves the Arab name for Cairo - Al
Qahira. This is also an Arab name for Mars. Not only is this fact used to
link Giza and Cydonia, but Hancock and Bauval actually say that this is
'inexplicable'. But far from being inexplicable, the reason that Cairo was
given this name is, in fact, very well known. Al Qahira literally means 'the
Conqueror'. The city of Cairo did not exist before 969 AD, when it was
founded by an Arab general who had just conquered that part of Egypt.
True, Mars does come into it, but only because at the time the city was
founded the planet was in a particularly auspicious position astrologically
- especially for a city built in honour of a conqueror. There is no mystery
about it - but Hoagland, Hancock and Bauval have made one.
There appears to be a genuine mystery about Mars. Perhaps there really
are pyramids or other artificial structures there. However, attempts to
link Cydonia with ancient Egypt simply don't work and have been
contrived. But for what purpose?
Perhaps a clue lies in the fact that Richard Hoagland was working at SRI
International when he first became interested in the Martian enigmas in
1982. He formed a research group to study them further, which was
funded by SRI. The co-founder of this group was Dr Lambert Dolphin,
who a few years earlier had led the SRI teams at Giza.
In case you think that we are overly paranoid about SRI's intimate
involvement with the Pentagon and CIA, it is as well to take on board
the initial reaction of one social scientist who attended Hoagland's first
lecture on the Face on Mars. What he said was:
'At first I thought it was some kind of joke, or maybe a complex social
experiment being conducted by the CIA - to study psychological
reactions to such a hypothetical discovery. I mean - SRI involvement,
'Faces' on Mars... what would you think?... Was this an elaborate
psychological experiment sponsored by the defense community?'
In fact, Hoagland's work has always received active encouragement by
members of the intelligence community, and most of the key members of
his research groups have connections with either intelligence agencies or
the Pentagon.
All of this is really, in a sense, just setting the scene for the 'stargate
conspiracy', at the heart of which are revelations about a very interesting
group of people.
Nearly fifty years ago, this American group believed that they had
established contact with powerful extraterrestrial beings. Not physical
contact, but psychic or telepathic communication. Over a period of many
years these entities made many revelations about themselves - including
that they had been the gods worshipped in ancient Egypt. (These beings
called themselves ‘The Council of Nine’, as made more popular by the
book ‘The Only Planet Of Choice’ - ed.)
Let's make this clear. We are not talking about a little New Age
channelling group. From the very beginning - half a century ago - it
reached the very top levels of American society, even involving a former
Vice President. Since then its influence has grown, and it now has
followers across the world, including in Britain. And it still whispers in the
ear of the Presidency.
So what do these entities, or intelligences, claim?
They claim that they come from Sirius. They built the 'monuments' of
Mars (although, significantly, these claims only appeared after the first
NASA images of Cydonia.) They created the human race, and taught it
the arts of civilisation, and have guided us from behind the scenes
throughout history.
And they are now about to return to preside over a great 'cleansing'.
They claim to have been responsible for the destruction of Atlantis, after
which survivors founded the Egyptian civilisation and built the Great
Pyramid - around the year 10500 BC. They claim that the Sphinx was
built in honour of them - and that there are hidden chambers that can be
accessed from beneath it.
Some of those who claim to be in contact with these extraterrestrials also
claim to have been in contact with Edgar Cayce's spirit guide, and that
Cayce's pronouncements came from essentially the same source.
In its fifty-year history, the 'contact group' in touch with these entities
have had some very interesting dealings. During the early 1970s, it was
intimately involved with SRI International - interestingly, at the same time
that SRI first became interested in Giza. In fact, one of the leaders of this
group worked alongside Lambert Dolphin's team.
Key members of this group have been behind the promotion of the Face
on Mars - and its connection with Egypt - from the very beginning. In
fact, Richard Hoagland's so-called Message of Cydonia comes directly
from these 'space-gods'.
Throughout its long history, many eminent names have been connected
with this group - names from the fields of politics, high finance,
entertainment, and even science.
Among those present at the 'first contact' with these alleged
extraterrestrials in 1952 was the philosopher and inventor Arthur M.
Young - who was later to become the mentor of Robert Temple, and
who directly inspired him to write The Sirius Mystery.
Put like this it all sounds very exciting. Has contact with the gods of
ancient Egypt been re-established? Are they, as they promise, about to
return?
Of course, many would consider their claims to have been backed up by
independent research: the connection between Sirius and ancient Egypt;
the importance of the year 10500 BC; the connection between Egypt
and Mars. But we have seen that all this 'evidence' is not only flawed
but highly contrived.
It must be pointed out that these allegedly all-knowing entities not only
make mistakes when dealing with ancient history, but sometimes come
out with downright howlers. They even give the ancient Egyptian name
for the Sphinx as arq ur - which, as we have seen, comes from a
misreading of a particular dictionary.
But the whole story takes on a much darker hue. We have discovered
that military and intelligence agencies, mainly the CIA, were involved
with this group right from the beginning. In fact, the research institute
where the entities first made their appearance was actually a front for
Pentagon psychological warfare and parapsychological experiments.
The person who formed and led the 'contact group', and who first
established contact with the entities, was - at the very same time -
working for both the Pentagon and the CIA on various techniques of
psychological manipulation. This included the use of hallucinogenic drugs,
hypnosis and electromagnetic influence. He was working specifically on
ways to induce apparent mental contact with non-human entities - and,
much more disturbingly, this was part of the CIA's MKULTRA mind
control project.
We have seen the involvement of the CIA in much of this story. But how
far does it go?
Did they create this scenario from the beginning, as part of a long-term
programme of psychological and sociological manipulation?
Or could it really be that some non-human entities - but not necessarily
who they claim to be - are either running the show or are partners in its
stage management?
Either way, it should scare the hell out of us...
