Phikent: just wondered about your take on the HOR discs? Kent Phikent: There is a Masonic Hall on Shaw Ave. in Fresno, CA. I'm inquiring through Masons, former students, in Fresno. See what happens. How these artifacts may or may not have ended up there is beyond me. I'm not a Mason myself, but the inquiry I feel to be justified. INFORMER: Phil, My dad was a 32nd Degree Shriner and a Mason, they have by-laws that prevent the display of sacred and stolen or illegally gained relics and artifacts. I AGREE that the request is justified. You will find a private collector donated them and had no idea where they came from. The trick is to find out WHO, WHERE they came from, and Why they are being displayed. I also would be interested in the answers. INFORM-SIGNATURE. Phikent: Not sure they are being openly displayed. Apparently one of the original exploration team confided this info to a friend of mine. Waiting to hear from her and others. Phikent: I'll keep you updated if anything leaks out on this INFORMER: That is EVEN more interesting. Let me know what comes down by private e-mail and BE CAREFUL how you approach it, I know others who have envited trouble by pursueing it.INFORM-SIGNATURE. Phikent: I'm a bit reckless with age. INFORMER: So am I !!! I see from the list mail that someone named Alan is also interested. Be Careful. INFORM-SIGNATURE. Phikent: I know Alan Phikent: He's okay INFORMER: I still ask that the information be kept confidential out of my need to protect my sources. If you paraphrase to alan, keep my name out it. INFORM-SIGNATURE. Phikent: okay Dear Sir: I wish to most discreetly inquire concerning the rumors of artifacts in possession of the Masons, perhaps once located in a Temple in the Central San Joaquin. As I understand such artifacts might indeed exist from the exploration in the '20s at Giza by Dr. John Ora Kinnaman and Sir Flinders Petrie. Apparently a series of discs were donated by a private collector. I am not a Mason, but most interested in following this trail, as there might be some universal historical significance. Please forgive my brash inquiry, but this matter is most important to my life's search.
