(Click on cover to enlarge). "Keys of Antiquity", the new book by adventurer and Rennes-le-Chateau archaeologist Bill Kersey, is everything that one would expect from this expert in the field. He covers codes, discoveries, apocrypha, and history from ancient times through the fall of Rome and the Visigoths, to Blanche of Castille and the Voisons at Rennes. Geometry in art and in the landscape is a key to understanding the mysteries of the Languedoc, Bill discusses this subject in detail beginning with the famous Poussin painting, he applies the Pythagorean ideal to the newly discovered younger Mona Lisa as well. The Rennes-le-Chateau parchments figure prominently in the mystery clues, and the author covers their translation by means of a complex code in detail. It is great fun to follow Bill and his friends on their arduous hikes in the tangled French countryside rain or shine - these are dedicated people! Their is an informative chapter on previous famous discoveries and maps. One of the great treasures revealed in this book is the link between Castle Cabrieres, home of opera diva Emma Calve, to Rennes-le-Chateau and the monastery of Montserrat in Spain during Templar times. A Bill Kersey book is truly and education.

SATOR Square Illumination

Le Serpent Rouge

The reconstructed ceiling is based on the interior of a centuries-old synagogue destroyed during both world wars. (Czarek Sokolowski/AP) The ceiling is a rich panoply in milky blues and brownish reds of zodiac signs and animal symbols, along with inscriptions in Hebrew. Barbara Kirshenblatt-Gimblett, the program director of the museum’s core exhibition, said the animals are references to Messianic beliefs prevalent in Polish Jewish communities after a period of wars and destruction in the 17th century. “It’s a heavenly canopy,” Kirshenblatt-Gimblett said. “It’s celestial. It’s literally the heavens and the world to come.” The animals include a red bull and a leviathan — a serpent-like sea monster — wrapped around Jerusalem. The iconography refers to stories saying that when the Jewish Messiah comes, there will be a banquet for the righteous where they will feast on the flesh of the red bull, which is a monster, and the leviathan. It was said the leviathan’s skin would wrap itself around the city of Jerusalem and give off light. Kirshenblatt-Gimblett said the reconstructed roof, with its “visualization of mystical texts, of prayer, of Messianic yearning,” will allow museum visitors to experience the spirituality of the time. “This represents the spiritual richness of Polish Jews,” she said. “It says that they were not only people of the book in the literal sense of text, but that they had a rich visual imagination.” A Sea monster...sound familiar? (Merovingian Bloodline) and it is red, a red sea serpent, very interesting! Is this Le Serpert Rouge?! Is he the Messianic Banquet`s sea monster?

UFOs in Florida perform for the passing of Philip Coppens

The passing of Philip Coppens was accompanied by spectacular performances of UFOs in Florida. Philip was an accomplished archaeologist and author as well as the host of the "Ancient Aliens" television program. January 8, 2012 was the day that he was laid to rest in Los Angeles by his devoted wife and professional partner, author Kathleen McGowan. She has recently revealed that they were both UFO witnesses as well as researchers. They lived in the Topanga Canyon area which is a well known UFO hotspot. The above photo is from the January 8, 2013 sighting which was filmed with a lot of patience by "Danny" - these UFO maneuvers took a long time. The incident began with the appearance of three white lights in a large triangular shape. In the photo the action begins with a smaller white light crossing the triangle from left to right. As this white light slowly crossed, the other three lights began to move into alignment with it, growing smaller until they were four smaller white lights in a line reminiscent of the Phoenix lights. This is a unique event, the standard black triangle formation transforming into a straight horizonal line of lights at night. The second appearance occured on January 17, 2013. This date is extreemly significant to Rennes-le-Chateau scholars like Kathleen and Philip who gave tours there and wrote about this part of France which is the origin of "The Da Vinci Code" legends about Mary Magdalene. Devotees of the church there gather on this day to observe the phenomenon of the "Blue Apples" reflecting on the walls of the church as the sun passes through the circular blue forms on the stained glass window dedicated to St. Anthony whose Saints Day it is. The term "blue apples" is from a cryptic Templar parchment discovered by the Abbe Berenger Sauniere in the 19th c. - it denotes the mysterious gold of the Templars and the treasure with which the priest built up his mountain top chapel. The origin of this large amount of money is still shrouded in mystery. Kathleen and Philip were married at Rennes-le-Chateau and had visited there on other occasions, it was his favorite place on earth. On January 17, 2013, Kathleen was at Rennes-le-Chateau because it was Philip`s last wish for her to go there. Here is the symbolic UFO performance on that special day which took place again in Florida: the four smaller white lights appeared in a slightly "W" shaped formation as a horizontal line once again. They slowly formed different shapes as "Danny" filmed them. They made a triangular shape and slowly lined up, eventually one of the lights faded off and the three which were left formed another triangle. After that, the third light faded off to the left and the two remaining lights glowed strongly together for a time appearing a bit larger and brighter. They stayed this way as a pair until the one on the left dimed and drifted off to the left leaving the one lonely light shining bravely alone. I think that the two lights represented the pair of them, Philip and Kathleen, and how he has crossed over to the next world, while the lone light symbolizes Kathleen and how she continues on with her work by herself now. This was a very poignant UFO video to watch. She had a dream of being told to don a fine purple cloak this week, I think that it represented the power of Philip being passed on to her, to carry on his work and her own writing in this life. There is a new book of his out and fortunately for us he wrote another one before he died which she will edit. I would expect the crossing over of an important UFO scholar like Philip Coppens to be accompanied by significant UFO sightings. When UFO witness Barry Goldwater passed away, it was predicted by the Phoenix lights crossing the state of Arizona in the military "Missing Man" formation. At his funeral the jets did indeed fly that formation in honor of our great pilot and UFO witness, Senator Goldwater. The UFOs respect their own. "Danny`s" videos are available to see on You-Tube under "January 2013 UFOs Florida".

The Galamus Sator Square and the Southern Cross

Tau cross - Chaco Canyon, New Mexico.

Mayan Tau crosses - a Tau window. This chanting head figure combined with a unique configuration of the ancient Sator square still puzzles visitors to the cavern sanctuary in Galamus Gorge. The word square is in the shape of a cross and in the center are four "T" shapes which face the four directions. So many Templar artifacts have nautical origins, was this carving made by them? Does it represent a compass? Is it symbolic of the constellation of the Southern Cross? If so, then it is an example of the arcane coded messages for which the Templars are known. On this date of December 21, 2012, do we have a connection between the importance of the Southern Cross to the ancient Mayans and the seekers gathering at Mt. Bugarach near Galamus in the Rennes-le-Chateau area? The SATOR Square is a magic square in letters and words that was also found at Pompeii. Used as a talisman, the magic square wards off evil spirits. Was it carved into the cave as a protection because Galamus in ancient times was known as an entrance to the underworld? Several key clues in the parchments found at the church of Rennes-le-Chateau can be found at this site. The Sator square is also carved on the back of the "head of Dagobert" portrait sculpture bust. Dagobert is mentioned in the Rennes-le-Chateau parchments. Another famous reference in those parchments is to the "Blue Apples" or large blue grapes of the region. The gigantic blue grape clusters of Canaan were painted by Nicolas Poussin (mentioed by name in the parchments). In his painting the grapes are being carried on a tree branch carried by two of the giants of Canaan who caused the emisaries of Moses to "feel like grasshoppers in their sight". On this Galamus sculpture (pictured), the head appears to be singing or chanting. PAX or Peace 681 is from the parchments. In numerology PAX = 681, a reference to the Templar/Masonic science of numerology. "PAX" is written in large letters at the Galamus hermitage. Magic word squares are defined in "The practical magic of Abramelin" (found in both Book III of the French text, and Book IV of the German original). His study centers around a set of talismans composed of magic word squares. These are similar to traditional magic squares, though the latter are usually composed of numbers, while Abramelin's squares contain letters. Commonly word squares are used as puzzles or as teaching aids." Some of the words in the square are of Celtic origin, as is the word "Galamus" itself, reminding us of the enigmatic book by Abbe Boudet about the Celtic language. It is said that these Celtic words refer to the Wheel of Fortune pictured in the Tarot deck and on the stained glass window inside Mt. Bugarach church - Galamus Gorge is in the Mt. Bugarach area. This window displays a ship and a helm, but the helm is a Wheel of fortune. Both the Mt. bugarach church window and the Galamus hermitage Sator square carving are unusual subjects to find in Catholic chapels. In numerous cultures tau ("T") was connected to abundant water or rain-deities. For instance, Augustus Le Plongeon, one of the first archaeologists of the Maya, writes that the T-shape corresponded to Crux, or the Southern Cross. This constellation appears shortly before the beginning of the rainy season in southern Mexico. In the ancient ruins of the Americas, the "T" or Tau shaped window is very prominent. "The ancient Maya astronomers had observed that at a certain period of the year, at the beginning of our month of May, that owes its name to the goddess MAYA, the good dame, mother of the gods, the "Southern Cross" appears perfectly perpendicular above the line of the horizon. This is why the Catholic church celebrates the feast of the exaltation of the holy cross on the third day of that month, which it has consecrated particularly to the Mother of God, the Good Lady, the virgin Ma-R-ia, or the goddess Isis anthropomorphized by Bishop Cyril of Alexandria." The constellation of the Southern Cross was originally known by the Latin name "Crux", which is due to its cross shape, this constellation is one of the easiest to identify in the night sky. For centuries, it has served as a navigational beacon for sailors, an important symbol to the Egyptians, and played an important role in the spiritual beliefs of the Aborigines and many other cultures in the Southern Hemisphere. The first recorded example of Crux’s discovery was around 1000 BC during the time of the Ancient Greeks. At the latitude of Athens, Crux was clearly visible, though low in the night sky. At the time, the Greeks identified it as being part of the constellation Centaurus. However, the precession of the equinoxes gradually lowered its stars below the European horizon, and they were eventually forgotten by the inhabitants of northern latitudes. Crux fell into anonymity for northerners until the Age of Discovery (from the early 15th to early 17th centuries) when it was rediscovered by Europeans. The first to do so were the Portuguese, who mapped it for navigation uses while rounding the southern tip of Africa. The Templars were navigators and I believe that the Sator square of Galamus is an expression of their sea-faring skills, coded as a reference to the Southern Cross. Is the Priory of Sion descended from these sailing Templars? The Priory uses nautical language to define its officers. Today on 12/21/12 we now have a connection between the Templars, the Priory of Sion, and the ancient Mayans, which is their recognition of the beautiful constellation of the Southern Cross - the guiding stars.
