At the time I was going back to Chichen Itza in a yacht that I purchased in Fort Lauderdale I had been forced to sign a document that would remove all my rights as an American and Canadian. There was little chance that I would be able to easily get the stele with those enigmatic designs which Cynthia told me related to Al Bielek’s Time Travel machine into a serious research institution. I was not enthralled with the Time Travel aspect or immortality. I had studied these things for many decades. Since then I have discovered that the Aymará language of Peru is a binary code that allows the translation of many other languages and yet was designed from scratch a long time ago. In fact there are many more things I know about ancient technology which we still have little knowledge about. Here is one ‘possibility’ to put your mind around.
Hold on to your hat! Here comes one of the most, incredible stories of ancient technology, which ranks alongside the use of atomic forces and the 'Lost Chord'. Needless to say the editors of Scientific American who denied the Wright brothers had achieved airborne flight for months after Kitty Hawk won't or wouldn't believe this 'doozy'. I think it is a very good explanation that is part of something even more fantastic which explains the existence of accurate maps from over ten thousand years ago. But I also think these maps might have been the work of Mungo Man or the De Danaan they worked with.
The other possibility that would explain their existence relates to Lhasa and a spacecraft which Churchward and The Chronicles of Akakor recounts from such things as the Lhasa Record which may only exist in the Akashic. If you have a better explanation I'd like to hear from you. Is it not important to explain such proven anomalies? Especially when they integrate with things we don't want to admit about man's far more advanced nature in ancient times. If we have blown each other apart before or created hyperviruses such as what killed the Mammoth (A current research underway by the American Museum of Natural History thinks it can be proven such a virus killed many large animals and that humans were the carrier.); does it warrant asking our leaders if they knew these things or why they didn't tell us? We are certain that our knowledge is not exclusive or even complete in these matters. Yet perhaps few people know how many disciplines and areas of how lives are under such oppressive control.
The maps themselves are dealt with under the Portolan Maps entry in greater detail and at this point we think it relevant to our discussion of the ARK to bring the Pyramid into the possibility of advanced prior civilizations on earth. Michael Bradley is a map expert and a good scholar whose work we have quoted before.
"Centre of the Earth's Land Mass, etc.
This is an important concept and I will explain to the best of my ability. It will be easier to appreciate somewhat better the truly significant placement of the Giza complex.
First let's consider two squares. One is 100 square units (miles, kilometres, or whatever) in area, the other twice as large, 200 square units in area.
{He illustrates two squares with pyramids on top from an overhead perspective with a line connecting the centre points or apex of the pyramids. Under the smaller square are 10 units and under the larger square is the figure 14.85 units. The 100 and 200 unit figures as mentioned are further repeated further under these two squares.}
We will find their respective centres by drawing diagonals. Where the diagonals intersect is the centre of each square. Together, these squares represent three units of the largest common denominator--100 square miles. So we'll draw a line, divided equally into three parts, between the centres of the two squares. Since one square is twice the size of the other, we will mark off two of the equal parts towards the larger square. This is the centre of their combined areas, given their distance apart. If they were closer together, or further apart, the point would fall elsewhere. Please note that this point is above the centre of the small square but below the centre of the larger one. It is a true geometric centre of the two areas that are separated by this given and arbitrary distance.
It is possible to ascertain the area of an irregular shape, although it is much more difficult to do than using squares.
The largest continent, Eurasia, happens to be about twice the land area of the American continents. These continents are separated by oceans. One can divide the separation into three equal parts, just as above, and find the 'centre of these two land masses.'
Taking this point, we can calculate Africa into the picture the same way. Africa is about 25% the area of Eurasia and the Americas combined. Therefore, the distance from Africa's geographic centre to the Eurasia-Americas' centre will be divided into five equal parts (i.e. the '4' represented by Eurasia-Americas, and the '1'(25%) represented by Africa's area). Marking off four of these five divisions towards the Eurasia-Americas’ centre, since this centre represents a combined land mass four times as large as Africa, will yield a new point, which is geometric, in this case 'geographic', centre of Eurasia-Americas-Africa combined. If we continue this process with the remaining large and small land masses--Antarctica, Australia, Greenland, New Guinea, Java, Sumatra, etc. --we will eventually arrive at a 'centre of the earth's land masses.' It will be as accurate as our method, plus the arbitrary inclusion of ever smaller islands, will make it.
A meticulous calculation of such a 'centre' will result in a point directly on the meridian (longitude) of the Great Pyramid but 6' (minutes) south of the Great Pyramid--but there's only sand in that location. The Giza Plateau is the first solid bedrock on the correct meridian {And Archaeology Magazine had the temerity to suggest the builders were merely imitating natural landforms with the Sphinx and Pyramid in last months issue.}. It is 6' in error from the true centre.
Sixty seconds of 101.3 English feet = l' (minute) of arc, 6080 feet on the equator = 1 nautical mile, whereas one 'common' or 'highway' ('statute') mile equals 5280 English feet. A nautical 'knot' is one nautical mile (6080 English feet) per hour of time; it is a unit of speed measurement, not of static distance.
Sixty minutes = 1 degree of arc, or 60 nautical miles at the equator. The Earth's equatorial circumference contains 360 degrees or 21,600 nautical miles = 24,872.73 common or statute miles.
All this sounds deceptively precise! In fact, of course, standardization of the length of the English foot, and therefore of seconds, minutes and degrees of arc, was not accomplished until the 1750s--and the size of the Earth was not measured correctly at that time. Just as the French Academy made an error in fixing the length of the metre, which was supposed to be one ten-millionth part of the surface distance from the Earth's equator to either pole, because they couldn't measure the Earth accurately, so also the British Admiralty made inaccurate geographic measures. Nonetheless, these measures remain accurate enough for most practical purposes. Nowadays, units of measure are fixed by correlation to electromagnetic wave-lengths {Could the ancients have been able to attune with Gaia's earth energy grid and send signals along it to record the time taken for a bounce back or echo?}. Since 1966, for example, the metre has been fixed as a division of the wave-length of Krypton 86.
A glance at the U. S. A. F. 'Azimuthal Equidistant Projection' Map of the world {see illustration in our section} will show that it is centred 'near Cairo'--i.e., at the centre of the earth's land masses, as calculated above, and precisely on the meridian of the Great Pyramid-- but 36,480 English feet south of the Great Pyramid at the true centre, which falls in an area of sand. A property of Azimuthal Equidistant Projection is that a circle drawn around any given point will have a circumference incorporating points of geography that are truly equidistant from the centre of the circle--the airplane or ship. This is not the case with large-scale maps drawn on the common Mercator projection {John Dee studied with Mercator and achieved high status in this field.}, which gives accurate longitudes and latitudes of all geography but must distort the polar regions in order to do so. It is also not the case with the Phillips projection, used by the UN, which shows the land area of countries in true proportion to each other but must distort the longitudes and latitudes near the equator in order to do so. These distortions arise from the problem of transferring the curved surface of a spherical Earth onto a flat piece of paper--the best that can be done is to know, and to choose, the kind of distortion that best serves any given need.
The location of the Great Pyramid at the centre of the Earth's land masses, unless it is truly a coincidence, implies the following. First, its builders knew the geography and size of the Earth quite accurately because they could not otherwise calculate the correct centre of land - masses. Second, they chose Egypt because the centre is there {It would be quite coincidental that they were Egyptian as well.}, and this means that Ancient Egyptian civilization may have arisen because of lingering cultural influences as well as because of the supposed advantages conferred by the Nile. Third, the three pyramids of the Giza complex, including the Sphinx, were built by someone other than the Ancient Egyptians--unless we are willing to grant them advanced knowledge as well--but then we must contend with the various correlations at Giza that all point to 10,500 B.C. as the origin of the Giza complex {I'll grant this date or 2,000 years later for the Sphinx, as well as the whole complex being designed at this time. I believe the capstones were used before the final Pyramids were constructed. It would appear there were other pyramids built to imitate this 'GREAT' pyramid. The issue of the Brazilian pyramids is yet to be determined, and it is possible they are even more 'fantastic'.}. Either the three pyramids and the Sphinx were built by an unknown culture long before the beginnings of Ancient Egypt, now dated as about 3200 B.C., or the Egyptians themselves have a much longer history than we think." (1)
Clearly there are many entries this impinges upon that we continue to develop. Before making another brief quote from his notes and then moving on to the ARK, I should address some other correlations with the Phoenician Pythagoras and his studies of the Pyramid. Some authors note the nautilus sea creature has a natural configuration of the mathematical concept or construct known as 'phi'. This is encapsulated in the Great Pyramid with its two complete tetrahedra. (Read Bucky Fuller's COSMOGONY or SYNERGISTICS for further insight.). Thales also had a Phoenician parent and he is credited by the Hellenizing Empire as the father of all sciences, but he studied the Pyramid and learned much about his limited knowledge from it. We have (and continue) shown the DNN of Homer and the Dana worshipping Scythians, Kelts and Iberian/Basque and Berbers are part of the Phoenician 'Brotherhood' that greatly pre-dates Pythagoras' 'brother- hood' or any Therapeutae and Great White Brotherhood. We are sure Churchward's Mu and the Mungo Man are connected with this conglomerate which will lead to Harappan and Easter Island connections to Kelts and many other enterprises from the Grand Canyon to the Great Wall.
"Pi is the ratio of a circle's diameter to its circumference, 1:3.14 or 7:22. Phi is the ratio of a line divided so that the length of the shorter segment bears the same relationship to the length of the longer segment as the longer segment bears to the whole undivided line, 1:1.618. This 'Phi' is sometimes called 'The Golden Section' {Key Masonic concept attributed to Pythagoras.} because there's something inaffably pleasing about the ratio. It was used by many Renaissance artists such as Poussin {Bradley shows how his art incorporated scenes and people of import and coded to give knowledge of when the family of Jesus or Merovingians were safely settled in places like Montreal and one might think another artist did the same when they were in America long before Columbus at Kingston where he has geologic core samples to show European influence.}, Michelangelo and da Vinci {An alchemist like his mentor - check 'The Dictionary of Alchemy' by Mark Haeffner.}; it occurs in abstract mathematics, as in the Fibonacci Series of numerical progression; it occurs frequently in nature, for example in the successive length of segments of the chambered nautilus." (2)
When I made my brief interruption earlier in reference to attunement with the earth energy grid and 'echoes' I was not being facetious. The vision Napoleon saw in the King's Chamber may relate to this through a time portal not unlike the 'Stone' that Michel de Nostradamus (who grew up near Rennes le Chateau) was able to glimpse the confusing potentials of the unsubstantial future we can change through creative, purposeful and FREE WILL. The king’s chamber and the delta wave forms that a pyramid creates are part of the time structure and helical nature thereof (according to Al Bielek who has a time machine which a friend of mine has seen (more later). The possibility of what Bradley is about to say may have seemed even more likely than what I just wrote until the NEC labs at Princeton demonstrated 300X light speed last year.
"The most obvious answer to the mystery of Berenguer Saunière's sudden and immense wealth {He estimates he spent an equivalent to $300,000,000 U.S between 1891 and Jan.22/1917, in turn-of-the-century money! This would translate in present day money if he had invested at about- [just] 10% interest, which is less than most good second mortgages or secure investments gain, to 6,600,000,000,000 dollars of U.S. currency. Remember this was what he spent, only! Terraforming Mars is estimated to cost just 5,000,000,000 a year for twenty years if one was doing no mining or revenue generating efforts. Saunière would have been able to TERRAFORM 66 such planets!} is simply that he found a cache of Visigothic booty, perhaps because he had more accurate information about it due to his research and his ancestors. This is the usual explanation among most of the 'Rennes-le-Chateau enthusiasts' today. It is equally obvious, though, that in spite of his truly staggering wealth, Saunière could not have found all of the Visigothic loot from Rome {The Templars later found much more through the Copper Scrolls recently unearthed at Qumran or deeper in Solomon's Temple, according to many authors. And the continuing trade with the America's would have generated much more before Columbus opened the floodgates to the continued theft and rape of the Incan and other wealth.}. Even Saunière’s money would account for but a tiny fraction of it. Since the 1970s, several books of 'Rennes-le-Château Treasure Maps' have been published. The sales and rental of metal detectors, picks, and shovels has become a growth industry in Rennes-le-Chateau and nearby towns.
For people who daydream of buried treasure (and who doesn't), Berenger Saunière’s apparent success in finding some has catapulted Rennes-le-Château from a backwater to a tourist mecca. Many adventurous young men and women, who might formerly have offered their services to Mel Fisher in a search for another sunken Spanish treasure galleon like the rich 'Atocha' wreck, are now freelancing with pick and shovel in Languedoc.
If only things were so simple...
Around Rennes-le-Château one encounters physiological symptoms atypical of treasure hunters. To be sure, many of them exhibit the usual frantic, bright glittering eyes of sheer gold lust. But surprisingly, one also encounters that benign and ethereal myopia of spiritual rapture. This is because some of the treasure taken from Rome consisted of religious artefacts stolen from the Temple in Jerusalem by Titus. This may have included the Ark of the Covenant, although there are problems. One problem is that the Ark of the Covenant impinges upon, and may have contributed a great deal to, the confusion of what the Holy Grail really is. This is a problem we will discuss shortly.
But there are other difficulties with the Ark of the Covenant that have to do with the possibility that it could have been part of the treasure of Rome brought by Visigoths to Rennes-le-Château. According to the Old Testament, Exodus, the Ark of the Covenant was constructed soon after the Israelites had escaped across the Red Sea from bondage in Egypt.
Modern engineers have been intrigued by the specification of the Ark because, if the directions are followed precisely, one ends up making a fairly powerful electrical condenser. It was a box of very specific dimensions made of acacia wood (an insulator). It was covered, inside and out, with gold (an excellent conductor). If the two surfaces of the gold were separated from each other, then a very powerful condenser of electricity is the result. In the dry air of the Middle East, it would accumulate a very powerful charge. (3)
But the Ark was more than just a condenser, it was a 'spark transmitter' roughly tuned to a specific frequency by the very precise dimensions given to Moses for the basic acacia-wood box. In this matter, the Ark was similar to early 'cavity tubes' in 1930s radar research where the desired radar frequency was obtained by actually machining cavities of various volumes into metal blocks. {So we can see how electricity aided the gold merchants who were plating silver or lead from archaeology, perhaps. We know there are other galvanic and electrical sources for such power as well.} The Ark was a 'cavity' of precise dimensions, and one in a gold-sheathed box.
The Ark also had a top, of the same general construction as the basic box. This lid of the box had golden 'cherubim' at each end {Imagine if they were able to induce separate polar charges in the 'high- spin' atomic state per the writings of Gardner from 'science'; into each of these 'cherubim'.} and a 'Mercy Seat.' {Mercy might then be like 'devoted ones' or a form of capital punishment to be used in conjunction with energizing the soul be ritual into the tubes we hear were receptacles for souls and which may tie in with the jade tubes on the head of the Prince of Palenque from the 'science' segment.} The Bible doesn't tell" us exactly how these components were arranged, or how they were attached to the Ark's top. It is well to remember that although Moses is supposed to be the author of Exodus, according to Hebrew tradition, the earliest known written account dates from almost one thousand years later {And there is uncertainty about who Moses was and when he was around as we have shown. But, his sister was one of the most adept alchemists, I think.}. Moses might not have described everything about the Ark in the first place, but even if he had, it seems probable that some details would have become fuzzy in the one thousand years of oral transmission before the story was written down.
Without assuming any 'secret' or 'unknown' components at all, but working only with the Ark as described, only two assumptions are necessary in order to construct a fairly powerful spark transmitter. One assumption is that an ancient, pliable insulating material was available so that the parts of the Ark could be attached in ways that both insulated them from, and conducted them to, the basic box condenser-cavity-frequency- modulator in order to produce a 'circuit'. Such an insulating material was widely available to the ancient Israelites and Egyptians--bitumen, tar. {For example Sodom and Gomorrah and what is now Iraq is populated with tar pits. Pitch fires of a continual nature existed in places like the La Brea Tar Pits for eons and would have provided early man with fire, too.} And we don't need to assume that artisans and priests in the ancient Middle East used bitumen to insulate and to seal simple electrical devices.
Wet-cell electric batteries, using acidic citrus juice as an electrolyte, were discovered in a Baghdad museum. (4) They were sealed with bitumen, and the internal electrodes were insulated from each other with bitumen. These primitive batteries have been dated to about A.D. 700. But fundamental electric devices were used much earlier than that. Tiny golden beads from XVIII Dynasty Egypt (c.1550 B.C.) were found to have only a thin coating of gold over some base metal {We showed Ashkelon had a calf of Ba'al with silver plating from Phoenicians and the National Geographic in 'science'. The Phocaeans had mass produced electrum plated coinage first according to Michael Grant, etc., etc.}. The beads are so small, and also without any sort of seam or hammered edge to the gold layer, that the gold could have been applied only by electroplating. (5) Given a citrus-juice battery like those of Baghdad {Where a printed circuit in a museum was thought to be embroidery by archaeologists until a computer expert saw it.}, electroplating of gold would not have been difficult. So we don't have to assume an electrical insulating material, and we don't have to assume basic knowledge of electricity in Middle Eastern antiquity. We know it.
The second assumption is that there were instructions, or a model, indicating what was to be insulated with bitumen, and what was to be solidly attached with the ubiquitous gold. {They had superconductive knowledge according to Gardner and calcium is useful in these regards.}
Let us consider one 'cherub' at one end of the Ark. These 'cherubim' seem to have been the Egyptian idea of a 'griffon'--an animal with claws and long pointed wings {Important in the gargoyle genre of gothic architecture and alchemy.}, a sort of cross between a lion and a hawk. Let us suppose that our cherub at one end of the box had one gold claw connected to the inner sheet of gold on the acacia-wood box, and the other claw attached to the gold sheath on the exterior of the acacia box. Further, suppose that this separation was maintained up to the long wings, which were of gold. Suppose that the wings were hinged or pivoted to be able to 'flap' like a proper cherub. Maybe they were just mounted in a glob of bitumen with bars, wires, or much more flexible leather-sheathed chain-links {Or ultra strong human hair.} of gold maintaining the required connections.
Assembled like this, there would be a very formidable spark between the cherub's pointed gold wings each time they were pushed close together. The Ark would arc--because of the electric charge that had accumulated in the condenser. And it would arc according to a rough frequency dictated by the dimensions of the Ark's basic cavity. Touching the wings at once with bare hands would have resulted in instant death or burn depending on the strength of the charge that had been accumulated. Operating the Ark, or even touching it, would have been a potentially fatal business for anyone not thoroughly initiated into necessary procedures. The Bible mentions at least one instance in which a non-priest fell dead trying to save the Ark--the man grabbed it when it was in danger of falling off a wagon. This was in the early days of Israelite struggles in Canaan.
A priest could move the wings with sticks of wood as insulation, {Thales invented (?) a small steam engine.} or perhaps some fancier arrangement of moving the cherub's wings was contrived. Maybe there was a simple lever system insulated appropriately with wood, leather and bitumen--pull the cherub's tail (or head) and the wings would approach each other to make an arc, for example. Simple 'wooden' linkages.
Making such an electric arc in a dark place like a tent or a central Temple crypt without windows (i.e., the 'Holy of Holies') would have been hard on the priest's eyes {and impressive to the great unwashed}. If the 'stones' in the Urim and Thummim were sheets of mica, common in the Middle East, then The Bible's 'silver bows' in which they were mounted would have resulted in granny-style welder's glasses. These would have saved the High Priest's eyesight when communicating with the 'Lord'.
This sort of 'arc-spark' transmitter would have sent bursts of what we call static out into the atmosphere. {And for uninitiated artists or journalistic historians they might describe it as forces such as waft and whirl in the Spielberg movie.}
What about the 'receiver'? Let's consider the other cherub at the other end of the arc. It would need to be completely separated from the structure of the Ark by a layer of bitumen. Its wings were supposedly golden, too, and if they were balanced and supported well, an 'electroscope' results. When this cherub was engulfed in a burst of electromagnetic radiation, its wings would repel each other and flap apart. This would naturally happen whenever the cherub at the other end of the Ark was manipulated to produce a spark-arc. If the receiving cherub's wings were delicately counterbalanced, they would close again as the charge on the open wings dissipated.
There would be a charming and satisfying symmetry to the antics of these cherubim wings--a spark made by moving the transmitting cherub's wings closer together would cause the receiving cherub's wings to open.
{Do you think anyone sought to identify one as male and the other female and justify why men are entitled to 'spark' females who must 'open' to them'?}
But the receiving cherub's wings would sometimes open when the spark-cherub was not being operated. This electroscope would also respond to natural bursts of electromagnetic energy--lightning. A nearby storm would cause very definite wing movements indeed {If you can refer to the entry under divining-rod you will see they may have been able to track such natural energy as the Nazca lines which are over tectonic rifts deep in the earth.}, while a lightning strike hundreds of miles away might cause barely a twitch of the wings.
But if a one time there were a number of Arks, all made the same way, the receiving cherub would also respond to electromagnetic energy purpose full caused by a High Priest operating some distant Ark. If the transmitting Ark was many miles distant, the repelling movement of the receiving cherub's wings might be very small--too minute to be detected, {There could be specified times to transmit and re-transmit back to a central area where a person was involved in the king's chamber that accentuated their psychic sensitivity.} with certainty, by a priestly observer. But this problem could be easily solved. With a small light source, like a candle or an oil lamp {Or the pendulums covered in the Divining-rod entry with the psychic.}, 'religiously' positioned at specific places near the receiving cherub, even tiny wing movements could be greatly amplified by jewels on the wings. The jewels would reflect the light onto some surface--a wall of a Temple sanctum or the dark cloth of a bedouin canopy--so that, in a dark chamber, the reception could be clearly perceived.
The technology described above was well within the resources and capabilities of the Ancient Egyptian and Israelite artisans. The idea for it is the problem {He wrote this before the Mungo Man discovery.}.
More than one modern radio engineer has noted that the Ark of the Covenant was a primitive sort of 'spark transmitter' that could send, and receive, strong electromagnetic impulses--in fact, the Ark seems quite similar to the transmitter with which Heinrich Rudolf Hertz (1857-94) was able to demonstrate the existence of 'Hertzian' (radio) waves in 1888. With his slightly more evolved spark transmitter, Guglielmo Marchese Marconi (1874-1937) first sent long-distance electromagnetic waves in 1895 {He did not invent the radio and 25 years after Tesla died the U. S. Patent Office awarded the patent to Tesla, or at least acknowledged he discovered it. For those who know the origin of Tesla's knowledge and 'vision' you will understand my suggestions about sensitive people or the akashic are mild in comparison.}, and then sent them across the Atlantic in 1901.
The Ark of the Covenant could have been used, and at one time must have been used, to send and receive messages over long distances. If the spark-arc could be generated in a sequence by manipulating the wings effectively {It should also be clear the codes and symbols used to send info would be important alphabet or language ingredients.}, then the bursts of static would radiate into the atmosphere in the same purposeful sequence. In the Marconi 'wireless' system, Morse code was mostly used. In the Morse system, for example, three short bursts 'dot-dot-dot', {Perhaps I should add this to my support for Ogham as an original language because Ogham adapts to this as well as sign language quite well.) represent the letter 'S', three longer arcs 'dash-dash-dash' represent the letter 'O'. Therefore S-O-S could be sparked into the air. This is the international code for 'Help!'
But every letter and every number can be represented by some combination of dots and dashes {The Mayan numerical system is a combination of these.}. That's Morse code. If you have enough electricity to generate a lot of sparks, and if you have a lot of patience, {If they had chemicals in the cavity of the Ark such as phosphorus would this add to the spooky effects as well as the usefulness?} messages of any desired length and complexity can be sent. And much patience would have been required because, with a transmitter-receiver as primitive as the Ark, purposeful messages would frequently have been confused or completely drowned out by static from distant electrical storms. {Clearly the technology would be less useful if others were on the air at the same time, and the need for secrecy would be immense.} Our own early 'wireless' had the same problem, frustration, and inefficiency.
So much for what might be called the technical aspects of the Ark. What about its provenance? Where did it come from? The Old Testament tells us that it was constructed shortly after the Exodus by an Israelite craftsman according to instructions given to Moses by God. But the Old Testament is, of course, a Hebrew document. It may well be biased. We will recall that Moses had been adopted into the pharaonic family of Egypt and was, in fact, an Egyptian priest. Could Moses have 'stolen' this artefact? {Phosphorus was used in quartz crystals to make lights that lasted a long time. It is used in tar or bitumen to make Greek Fire. The input of electricity and water in a ship at sea could have led them to a major explosive discovery that made this Ark an even more feared technology.} Or, at least, could he have stolen the plans and specifications of some highly venerated Egyptian object? Is this why the Egyptians called the escaping horde under Moses 'evil-doers'? Or were the Egyptians just angered at losing slaves?
{We propose Moses was a Pharaoh like his brother Aaron and they were not pleased with matriarchal lineages and wanted an all male God (Jehovah) as well as the return to the throne of Egypt which is why the Exodus took so long to go such a short distance. The Amarna and other coastal sites appear to have been loyal to Moses or Akhenaten from recent archaeologic finds. He wouldn't have had to avoid them but he would have been aware of the Phoenician and other Hyksos (foreigners) taking interests in the once major colony in Egypt.}
Considering the dates that have recently been strongly associated with the Giza complex by geologists and astronomers, and the radiocarbon date for the Bimini organic remains--all about 10,500 B.C.--we must consider the real possibility that the Ark had originally been some sort of Atlantean device for long-distance communication…
{He is not a believer in Hancock's and others Antarctica theories that use the 10,500 B.C. date. We are sure he will have seen Collins 'Gateway to Atlantis' and the Carolina Bays meteor event data. We are sure that if there was a city called Atlantis at some time it was only part of a large and extensive enterprise.}
But even with marginal or sporadic operational efficiency, it would have permitted a seafaring culture to establish the accurate longitudes of distant places all around the earth. A signal transmitted at noon, 'Giza Pyramid time' (just for example), could be compared with the local noon anywhere the signal was received. The difference in hours and fractions (measured by sand glass or water-clock) between 'Pyramid noon' and local noon (the sun's highest point in the sky--the 'meridian passage'), multiplied by 15, will give the longitude west of the 'Pyramid Meridian' (Giza), in degrees--and we know that a circle was divided into 360 degrees from very early times, for no obvious reason. This would have provided better accuracy than was available to Columbus--or to any other European mariner--until John Harrison (1693-1776), a Yorkshire blacksmith, invented a practical marine chronometer in 1749.
{The award that was offered was withheld as they tried to discredit him. They wanted to give it to one of their own. But the ancients had the tanawa or torquetum to measure longitude in the time of Eratosthenes and probably earlier.}
Time signals by 'Ark broadcast', even if only marginally receivable over long distances (on good days), would eventually result in the mysteriously accurate maps that have actually been discovered. The Ark, since it obviously seems to be a primitive spark generator, naturally becomes linked with the creation of inexplicably accurate maps that apparently date from the last Ice Age (Wurm-Wisconsin) according to the geography depicted. I want to assure readers that the Hadji Ahmed mappa-mundi is not the only 'impossible' map to depict Ice Age geography. The Oronteus Finaeus and Buache maps also show it. My notion is that most large Atlantean trading ships or warships would have carried an 'Ark' on board, and it is possible that large vessels became known as arks (i.e., 'Noah's Ark') because at one time they carried arc-transmitters aboard. And certainly, every major Atlantean town, colony, or outpost would have one too." (6)

I thought the extinction of the mammoths was due to neolithic hunters using flint tipped spears. Up to 10 spear flints have been found in a single mammoth fossil.

No doubt many were killed with atl-atls and the like. And they would put them in swaps or slow-moving rivers that acted like a refrigerator due to bacteria and thus they could eat them for months.

However as I said - A current research underway by the American Museum of Natural History thinks it can be proven such a virus killed many large animals and that humans were the carrier.
