Ancient Egypt, the Monument on Mars & Extraterrestrial Contact The Stargate
Conspiracy By LYNN PICKNETT & CLIVE PRINCE 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. 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 encour-agement 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. 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... The above
