There are so many trigger-words in that article that I was virtually pinned to the wall by the time I was finished reading it. I don't know who Bryce Self is, can somebody update me? His reference to the computer conference which identified the face on Mars reminded me of Richard Hoagland, are they connected? I was told a couple of months ago that Richard Hoagland was the (now-severed) member of the Dragon Order who was behind the "disruption" of the Order and one can certainly see how the information in this article ties-in with the Dragons' stance. I therefore find it intriguing that the Count directs our attention towards Nimrod... here is an excerpt from an "official" history which was "released" by Laurence Gardner a few years ago: "The great Universal sciences were Geometry, Numerology, and Metallurgy. Together, they comprised the Cosmic Law (Divine Testimony). [note from Stella - Gardner's position is that the Tablets of Testimony were contained in the Ark of the Covenant, along with the Ten Commandments, that there were FOUR tablets in all] Cosmic Law was said to derive from the Archons. Although recorded from about 8,000 BC (four millenia before Adam), its first dramatic use appeared in 2500-2000 BC. In this era, the great Ziggurats were built in Sumer and Mesopotamia. These were multi-levelled towers with temples atop - the most famous being that of the goddess Ishtar, on the Ziggurat (Tower) of Babel on the Plain of Shinar near Babylon. The Egyptians built the great pyramid of Cheops [note from Stella - one of the shafts of the GP aligns with Thuban in the constellation Draco] and, in England, Stonehenge was constructed. The universal sciences were carved onto two Temple pillars by Lamech (the son of Methuselah and the father of Noah) during the reign of Sargon the Great (Nimrod) of Mesopotamia. During his reign (c. 2346 BC), Sumer and Mesopotamia were devastated by flood from the Tigris and the Euphrates - i.e. the great Deluge of Genesis. Noah and his three brothers salvaged the monuments. which became known as the Antediluvian Pillars. They were placed in the care of the Egyptian Thieron, Hermes Trimegistos (Thoth)." So, both the Count's and Gardner's information converges on Nimrod. Having worked with other material of Gardner's over the past couple of years, I would have to say that I agree with the Count's comment that Gardner has a great deal of accurate information, but that some of his ultimate conclusions are slightly off. But since the Count is only giving us little "hints" it will be difficult to assess whether his information in total is any more accurate than Gardner's. It appears that the only way to proceed is to sift through ALL the available material and synthesize our OWN understanding of this histrorical backround. In the meantime, it will be extremely revealing to see where we will be "led" in 1999... BTW, I asked the Earl Marshal of the Dragon Order about the status of their association with the Priory of Sion and his comment was that the Dragons are far older than the PoS and, while they were happy to work with anyone with similar aims, they wouldn't consider it appropriate to take direction from a younger order... Actually, that's my own paraphrasing, the EM's comments were much more... pithy. I must stress that I'm not taking sides here, I'm simply a neutral observer in all of this. And I'm collecting as much information as I can get my hands on! p.s. That chap, Lambert Dolphin, who posted the above article on his site, sounds fascinating... I wonder if we could talk him into doing a geophysical survey on Rosslyn Chapel... or Pech Cardou? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from this mailing list, or to change your subscription to digest, go to the ONElist web site, at http://www.onelist.com and select the User Center link from the menu bar on the left. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ http://www.albino.com/circle/pos - - list of priory-related books, associations, and websites
