The Stargate
Conspiracy
Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince write in their book
The Stargate
Conspiracy (1999):
Strange though it may seem, this is not the book we originally set
out to write. In a sense, we are very surprised - and not a little
shaken - to have found ourselves on the rock-strewn path that led,
ultimately, to The Stargate Conspiracy.
I feel the same way about the Endgame series of which this article
is the fourth installment. Indeed, I now see that 'the stargate
conspiracy' is essentially synonymous with 'the endgame'. And I am
'not a little shaken' by the unexpected development myself. In
hindsight, it was only natural that a 'stargate' theme emerged in
Endgame II and that Turin Shroud, another book by Picknett/Prince,
was discussed in
Endgame III.
The same authors also wrote, between
The Stargate Conspiracy and
Turin Shroud, a book called
The Templar Revelation which deals with
esoteric mysteries surrounding Grail tradition and a tiny village in
southern France called Rennes-le-Château. Even this relates to
Endgame discussions in that it was a subtle 'esoteric aura'
emanating from the Cydonia ('monuments of Mars') controversy
involving IR pictures taken by the Odyssey spacecraft orbiting Mars
that first caught my attention, leading to the writing of
the first
Endgame article back in September '02.
Here is what I wrote:
As I began to closely examine the information, I found myself
becoming increasingly captivated by the irresistibly mysterious
open-ended story. In some way, the tale was similar to the grand
Rennes-le-Chateau mystery popularized by the bestselling book Holy
Blood, Holy Grail. In both, there is a shadowy group leaking
puzzling but valuable information as if to gently lead investigators
to some revelation by setting up a 'game'. And there are esoteric
aspects to the activities.
In other words, from the very beginning I was sensing the relevance
of Rennes-le-Château and the 'Grail game', which involves controlled
'leaking' of information concerning some dark secrets of
Christianity.
Of course, this was an uncharted territory as no one, to my
knowledge, had ever seriously considered linking Cydonia to
Gnostic/Grail tradition... except Picknett and Prince came close to
making that connection.
Their first two books (Turin Shroud and The Templar Revelation) are
related to the Grail/Rennes mystery, and the third - The Stargate
Conspiracy - purports to uncover a hidden scheme quietly guiding the
development of ideas in the fields of alternative
history/Egyptology, Mars/Cydonia, ET contact, and the occult. So
although somewhat indirectly, their research history hints at the
existence of a unifying context.
It was at the end of Endgame III that Rennes-le-Château finally came
to the forefront when I introduced Poussin's masterpiece painting,
Et in Arcadia Ego (or Les Bergers d'Arcadie/'The Shepherds of
Arcadia'), as a piece of the 'endgame' puzzle. This painting is
infamously linked to the Rennes saga.
It is said that when Bérenger Saunière (1852-1917), a Catholic
priest serving in
Rennes-le-Château, removed an altar stone from the
archaic columns while restoring his crumbling church, he found four
parchments concealed inside. Two of them contained genealogies, and
the other two bore excerpts from the New Testament in Latin with
strange features, suggesting that they were coded texts.
In 1967,
alleged copies of the ciphertexts were published in the book L’Or de
Rennes by Gérard de Sède, and before long they were deciphered to
yield the following messages (translated into English)[1]:
1) TO DAGOBERT II KING AND TO SION IS THIS TREASURE AND IT IS DEATH
[or HE IS THERE DEAD]
2) SHEPHERDESS NO TEMPTATION THAT POUSSIN TENIERS HOLD THE KEY PEACE
681 BY THE CROSS AND THIS HORSE OF GOD I COMPLETE [or DESTROY] THIS
DEMON GUARDIAN AT MIDDAY BLUE APPLES
 
The meanings behind these cryptic messages have been a subject of
much speculation, but arguably the most potent interpretations are
those presented in The Tomb of God (1996) by Richard Andrews and
Paul Schellenberger.
Their conclusion was that the parchments are in
essence a coded 'treasure map' pinpointing a secret site near Rennes-le-Château,
where an object of immense importance might be hidden. And the
'treasure', most researchers would agree, probably is or has to do
with the 'Holy Grail' (and/or the 'Ark of the Covenant' -
essentially the same thing).
We can infer from the priest's lifestyle drastically changing after
the discovery that the parchments contained very serious - if not
dangerous - information.
It is said that Saunière first took the parchments to the bishop of
Carcassonne who in turn immediately sent him to Paris – apparently
to have them deciphered. And there the priest was welcomed into a
circle of esoteric-minded people.
He then allegedly went on to
purchase copies of three paintings:
1) one by David Teniers
2) one
by Nicolas Poussin (Et in Arcadia Ego)
3) a portrait of Pope
Celestine V by an unspecified artist
Teniers and Poussin are
obviously the very artists mentioned in the parchment.
After this, Saunière - though previously in near-poverty - suddenly
appeared to have acquired great wealth as he began to spend
outrageously more than he should have been capable of. And he never
adequately explained to those around how he could suddenly live like
a rich man.
On January 17, 1917, Saunière suffered a stroke and died five days
later. Before passing on, a priest from Espéraza was brought in for
his final confession, and it is said that whatever Saunière said to
the priest in the closed room, it left him so shaken that he would
be in a state of shock and depression for a long time afterward.
Saunière's housekeeper Marie also left this world in a tantalizing
way. The story goes that she made a promise to a businessman named
Noël Corbu – who purchased her land – that she would one day reveal
to him a secret that would make him wealthy and powerful. Marie died
in 1953 from a stroke before she could fulfill her promise.
This is the very basic legend that eventually evolved into a much
bigger story, beginning with the publication of Holy Blood, Holy
Grail, an international bestseller that linked the mystery to the
secret bloodline of Jesus and/or Mary Magdalene.
Poussin's Et in Arcadia Ego is a key piece of the puzzle in this
potentially explosive story.

Although not discussed in The Stargate Conspiracy, there is a subtle
allusion to a 'stargate' encoded in the Rennes game.
At the church's entrance there, the visitor would encounter a
strange Latin inscription that reads 'TERRIBILIS EST LOCUS ISTE'
('This place is terrible') - a rather unwelcoming message.
It is
widely believed to have come from a passage in the Book of Genesis:
And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the Lord is
in this place; and I knew it not. And he was afraid, and said, How
dreadful is this place! This is none other but the house of God, and
this is the gate of heaven.
(Genesis 28:16-17)
Obviously, the 'gate of heaven' is a another term for a
stargate.
And we have this next passage that immediately follows the above:
And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he
had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil
upon the top of it. And he called the name of that place Beth-el...
And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God's
house...
(Genesis 28:18-19, 22)
The combination of 'stone' and 'pillar' inevitably conjures up the
Tower of Babel, as we read in Genesis:
...let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto
heaven; and let us make us a shem, lest we be scattered abroad upon
the face of the whole earth.
(Genesis 11:4)
 As already discussed in
Endgame II, the 'shem' is to be interpreted
as a heavenly 'fire-stone'.[2] So like Jacob's pillar and stone
(associated with heaven), the Tower of Babel is a combination of a
tower and a heavenly 'fire-stone'. It's safe to say that they are
interchangeable. Indeed, the Babylon tower is traditionally thought
of as a gateway between earth and heaven, i.e. a stargate; after
all, 'Babylon' means 'gate of the god'.
It was also discussed previously that the shem is relatable to the
'Shining Ones' - the 'fallen angels'. They're called the 'Nephilim'
and/or the 'sons of God' in the Old Testament, seemingly identified
with 'people of the shem' found in the following Genesis passage:
There were the Nephilim [typically translated as 'giants'] in the
earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came
in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the
same became mighty men which were of old, people of the shem
[typically translated as 'men of renown'].
(Genesis 6:4)
In the Book of Enoch, they are called the 'Watchers'. And we find
that there were two factions: the 'normal' Watchers and the rebel
Watchers who imparted knowledge to man (which was a 'sin'). The
latter group is the so-called 'fallen angels'.
The Book of Enoch also describes a place where the angels were
imprisoned:
And from thence I went to another place, which was still more
horrible than the former, and I saw a horrible thing: a great fire
there which burnt and blazed, and the place was cleft as far as the
abyss, being full of great descending columns of fire: neither its
extent or magnitude could I see, nor could I conjecture. Then I
said: 'How fearful is the place and how terrible to look upon!'
...'This place is the prison of the angels, and here they will be
imprisoned for ever.'
(I Enoch 21:7-10)
Remarkably, here we detect a clear echo of the Rennes-le-Château
phrase 'This place is terrible' and Jacob's utterance 'How dreadful
is this place' - thus nicely confirming that we're on the right
track.
Also, it should be noted that the term 'Watcher' inevitably relates
to
the 'Watcher' website
and the associated 'alien crop glyph' - the
'cornerstone' of the Endgame matrix - which led us to the discussion
of stargates in
Endgame II.
The crop glyph (right) was found in Hampshire, England last August
('02).
As discussed in the previous Endgame articles, the disk the
'alien' is holding up contained a coded message
- a warning about
some 'deception' and 'false gifts'.
The glyph's overall design was
apparently borrowed from the graphic (left) used on the 'Watcher'
website.
Let us also recall that the 'warning' message decoded from the
likely man-made crop glyph was relatable to the Nazis who may have
succeeded in constructing a stargate machine as suggested in The
Hunt For Zero Point (2002) by Nick Cook (see Endgame II).
I then resurrected the Nazi theme at the end of
Endgame III as I
presented the image shown left with the comment:
"This foreshadows
what will be revealed in Endgame IV... Very dark things. Large black
clouds are looming ahead of us."
 Et in Arcadia Ego and the Third Reich - both associated with a
'stargate' - had thus already begun to merge directly.
And as for
the coming darkness mentioned... this will be indeed an issue
discussed in this article and more extensively in Endgame V coming
next. All the indications are that the year 2003 is the designated
time when the darkness descends.
It is certainly ominous that,
as mentioned in The Stargate
Conspiracy, 2003 is considered by those behind the 'conspiracy' to
be a particularly significant time that ends a 30-year window
(something to do with reprogramming humanity).[3] And indeed, we
have already seen a lot of fireworks so far this year - most notably
the 'war' in Iraq.
Iraq is the historical region of Babylon, the 'gate of the god', as
well as the first high civilization called Sumer, a name meaning
'land of the Watchers'. In other words, Iraq is in effect a
'stargate land'!
As noisy as the preemptive US aggression was, however, it appears
this was still only a 'preview' of what we may face in the very near
future.
December Warning
One of the main themes in the previous Endgame articles was the
'December window' of 2002, which the decoding of the 'alien warning'
and other 'signs' suggested was the time of the 'false gifts' which
in turn have been associated with the Third Reich and Mars.
The
window was also supported by the 'double sun' timeline deciphered in
my earlier Message of Cycle 23 article.
The first half of the December was quite remarkable as it clearly
responded to the 'double sun'/2-year pattern. Namely, we saw the
resignation of Cardinal Law of Boston Archdiocese and also Trent
Lott stepping down as US Republican Senate leader - both fulfilling
the 'Babylon leader falling' projection, though with slightly less
intensity than expected (i.e. a Cardinal instead of the Pope, a
republican leader instead of the republican US President).
[Note: it
is a fact that Cardinal Law was specifically named in the Cycle 23
article as a likely figure to go down during the December window.]
This development left me on the edge of my seat, anticipating a
great fulfillment of the predicted 'false gift' event during the
second half of the December window. As it turned out, it was rather
anticlimactic; it came and went rather peacefully. The only notable
event was the claim of the birth of the first cloned baby.
 Although not quite what I had expected, it was still a symbolically
meaningful event. The cloning claim by the shadowy company 'Clonaid'
was widely thought to be a hoax (as it probably was), thus relatable
to the deception/'false gift' theme. And the timing of the clone
birth (Dec. 26) made it relatable to Santa, the gift-giver.
As I
wrote in Endgame II:
"Santa's special delivery may come, not from
North Pole, but South Pole - i.e., 'false gifts'."
In a similar vein, there was a correlation with the biblical three
wise men, who supposedly gave gifts to Jesus who had just been born.
 And then there was the 'alien' connection. Just as the 'false gift'
warning came from an 'alien crop glyph',
Clonaid is affiliated with
the 'Raelian' cult which believes
humans were created by
extraterrestrials through genetic engineering. This view actually
has a lot in common with the mystical belief system of the Nazis - a
link strengthened by the fact that the original Raelian symbol
featured a swastika.
To support the relevance of the Clonaid/Raelian event in terms of
conforming to the underlying pattern, there was a news story that
broke in January, '03, just weeks after the cloning claim was made.
This was the revelation of
Project Prometheus, a NASA program for
developing a nuclear propulsion system that can take man to Mars in
the near future. Not only is 'Prometheus' the Greek god who stole
fire and gave it to mankind as a momentous gift, he is even
associated - via 'pramantha' - with the swastika![4]
In Endgame II, in fact, I had already discussed Prometheus:
...the 'false gifts' mentioned in the 2002 alien message might also
relate to the 'fallen angels' in some way. Actually, this cannot be
more fitting because the key function of these angelic beings in
ancient tradition was to impart the 'gift' of advanced knowledge to
mankind. In Greek myth, this story is repeated by Prometheus giving
'fire' to mankind, immediately followed by an unfortunate event
involving Pandora's Box, a 'false gift' sent by Zeus. These, we are
told, led to the corruption and suffering of man.
Let me also point out that Project Prometheus was revealed to the
general public on Jan. 17 - a 'signature date' of the Rennes/Grail
game. (For example, Saunière the priest suffered a stroke on Jan.
17, 1917, dying five days later.) In addition, it should be noted
that France - the land of Rennes-le-Château, the Grail, and Et in
Arcadia Ego - is where the Raelian cult emerged from.
Prometheus, furthermore, was sometimes considered the creator of
mankind. Prometheus made Adam and Eve, in a sense. So it is fitting
that Clonaid's first (supposedly) cloned baby was named 'Eve'. As
for Adam, it is equally curious in that the name can denote
something like 'red earth' thus evoking the Red Planet, the
destination of Project Prometheus.
The repeated allusions to 'Genesis' also bring our attention to the
intriguing fact that the famous Genesis passage below could easily
be describing cloning:
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness... So
God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he
him...
(Gen. 1:26-27)
And of course, the Garden of Eden - where Adam and Eve lived - was
in Mesopotamia, i.e.,
Iraq, the 'stargate land'!
Omens
Occurring at the same time as the Project Prometheus revelation was
the ill-fated mission of the shuttle Columbia. As we all know, it
fell apart just as it reentered the earth's atmosphere on February
1, killing everyone onboard.
The disaster had an ominous symbolic implication, as the name
'Columbia' can be traced back to 'Columba', Noah's Dove. As the dove
is a universal symbol of peace, Columbia's deadly descent was
expressive of peace falling apart.
 This becomes quite serious when added that the world-changing events
of 9/11 were preceded by the fiery descent of the Russian space
station Mir in March. 'Mir' means 'peace', as well as 'world'. The
decommissioning of Mir thus symbolically signaled the 'end of world
peace' - which was of course dramatically actualized later in the
same year.
While Mir was 'world peace', Columbia would stand for 'American
peace', after all Columbia is another name for the United States.
Hence the destruction of the space shuttle Columbia may have
signaled the coming destruction of America.
Seeing the events of Columbia and Project Prometheus simultaneously
taking place, we now find it quite plausible that the portended end
of 'American peace' is to have a connection to the
'December/stargate/false gifts warning' motif.
The Iraq war soon followed to support this view.
First of all, Iraq/Babylon is the 'stargate land' as discussed. And
the one-sided war ('Operation Iraqi Freedom') began on March 20
(local time) to coincide with the spring equinox. The timing
resonated nicely with the underlying pattern - as can be
demonstrated from the fact that I was able to single out March 20 as
a 'war day' just a few days earlier.
Here is what I wrote on March
18 in the update section of my website:
The Great Sphinx at Giza is a representation of Mars (as can be
inferred from the tradition of ancient Egypt) as well as Horus who
in turn personifies the rising sun. And because the Sphinx faces due
east, it becomes perfectly aligned with its celestial counterpart -
the rising sun - on the equinoxes, when the sun rises due east. As
per the Sphinx-Mars equation, then, the equinoxes are also to be
considered important Mars days.
March 20, '03, the spring equinox in the month of Mars [i.e. March],
is therefore [...] a fitting date to be incorporated into the US war
on terrorism [...]; indeed, as Mars is traditionally the planet/god
of war, March 20 is in effect a 'war day'.
So the Bush administration saying "we're going to Mars" (by
initiating Project Prometheus) was also in effect the US saying
"we're going to war," which it did.
What is worrisome here is the involvement of nuclear technology:
Project Prometheus' goal of developing a nuclear propulsion system
seems to imply that the US military aggression in the Middle East
may lead to some kind of nuclear event - pretty much everyone's
nightmare scenario.
And we cannot ignore the recurrence of the Mars-Iraq overlap here.
Obviously, we're a getting a very strong signal that Iraq somehow
represents the 'land of Mars'.
 Death of Time
The
Great Sphinx is interchangeable with Mars in ancient Egyptian
tradition (both closely associated with Horus) - reinforced by Giza
being attached to the Egyptian capital city named 'Cairo', which
denotes 'Mars'. This also makes the Sphinx analogous to Iraq.
The association is strongly supported by the eternal gaze of the
Sphinx, fixed upon the distant horizon due east, as it is perfectly
aligned with the mouth of the Tigris-Euphrates river, the lifeblood
of Iraq (Mesopotamia)! To put it another way, Giza along with its
monuments is on the same latitude as the Mesopotamian river system's
end point - exactly at 30°N.
In my book,
The Time Rivers (2003), the same 30°N. latitude is
identified as the geodetically expressed threshold of reality. It is
the line separating this world and the 'Otherworld' of Osiris, the
Egyptian god of the dead.
In the Time River theory, Giza/Cairo at 30°N. is also viewed as the
northern 'edge' of the Nile River which in turn is revealed as a
literal 'river of time'.
I'm sure this sounds strange to many, but this 'river of time' idea
can be easily inferred from Osiris - the personification of the Nile
- being a 'god of time'. (For example, it is written in the
Egyptian
Book of the Dead: 'I am Time and Osiris'.)
The latitudinal length of the Nile being 30 degrees is another clue,
as '30' is a key number for chronometry.
The path of the sun
(ecliptic) is traditionally divided into twelve 30-degree sections
(Pisces, Aries, etc.); one month is ~30-days long; and Saturn, the
planet of time, has an orbital period of ~30 years.
More compelling is the following remark by
Plutarch, a renowned
Greek writer and biographer from around AD 100. He had considerable
contact with the Egyptian priesthood, and here he almost openly
acknowledges that the Nile and time (= Cronus/Saturn) are
interchangeable:
There is also a religious lament sung over Cronus [= Saturn = time].
The lament is for him that is born in the regions of the left, and
suffers dissolution in the regions on the right; for the Egyptians
believe that the eastern regions are the face of the world, the
northern the right, and the southern to the left.
The Nile,
therefore, which runs from the south and is swallowed up by the sea
in the north, is naturally said to have its birth on the left and
its dissolution on the right.[5]
Plutarch is saying that both Cronus (or 'time') and the Nile are
born in the south and die in the north, as if to tell us that the
Nile is time... a real 'river of time'. (Indeed, in The Time Rivers
is revealed an amazing 'timeline' encoded in the design of the
Nile.)
This would mean that the Nile's northern 'edge' marked by Giza/30°N
represents the place of dissolution where time - or Osiris/Saturn -
'dies'.
It is striking therefore that at Giza are found the world's
biggest tombs - the three great pyramids!
Moreover, as per Robert Bauval's 'Orion Correlation Theory', the
Giza pyramids are now widely thought to represent the three Belt
Star of Orion, the constellation identified with Osiris!
Indeed, Giza (as 'Rostau') is said to signify 'the kingdom of Osiris in the
Tomb'.[6]
 
[source]
Giza-Orion
Correlation
Through the mutual connection with 30N°/Giza, we can now infer that
Orion-Osiris and Mars are intimately linked as well. While I'm not
ready to delve into this too much yet, there is shocking
confirmation of this on the planet Mars itself.
As discussed in
The
Adachi Report [currently unavailable] written last year, the Red
Planet apparently has its own Orion Belt Stars reproduce on its
surface!
It is called the Tharsis Montes - three gigantic volcanoes arranged
just like Orion and the Giza pyramids. It's certainly fitting that
the term 'pyramid' can denote 'fiery' (via the probable root word
pyrinos). Mars, after all, is a 'fire planet' and volcanoes are
obviously 'fiery mountains'. This also correlates well with
Prometheus' gift to mankind - fire.
The Tharsis Montes are so big and distinctive that you might wonder
why you hadn't noticed them before. And the answer here is quite
simple: most Mars pictures shown to the general public usually avoid
the side bearing the Tharsis Montes - perhaps because it doesn't
take much to pick up on their potential link to Orion and Giza. The
dramatic implication, after all, could lead to the destabilization
of reality as we know it... for obvious reasons.
What I found particularly intriguing was the fact that the middle
Tharsis volcano straddles the Martian equator (latitude zero). The
Nile happens to have its source (Lake Victoria) right at the equator
as well. And it is of course the middle pyramid at Giza that is
directly linked via a causeway to the Great Sphinx, a monument
signifying the Red Planet!
More amazingly, the Sphinx faces due east and aligns with the
equinoctial sunrise so as to allude to the equator - since the
equinoxes are when the sun is at the extension of the earth's
equator!
(More discussion on these subjects in The Adachi Report).
Clearly, the 'death of time' has to involve Mars.
And since the gaze
of the Great Sphinx is aligned also with the mouth of the
Tigris-Euphrates, and Giza-Rostau was known as the 'gateway to the
Otherworld', we get the notion that the Tigris-Euphrates/Iraq, or
Mars, signifies the 'Otherworld' of Osiris which is entered through
'death', i.e. a transdimensional gateway at Giza/30°N, guarded by
the Great Sphinx.[7]
In other words, the 30th parallel is a 'stargate latitude'. So
again, Iraq becomes a 'stargate land'.
Now, to bring back another theme, we even find that the Nile has
often been considered a gift. As Herodotus once said:
'The Nile is
the gift of Osiris, but Egypt is the gift of the Nile'.
More specifically, the Nilotic gift was a reference to the fertile
black silt that the flooding water of the Nile annually brought to
the land of Egypt. It was at the heart of the ancient culture and
its tradition/mythology was heavily intertwined with the seemingly
magical event repeated every year.
Intensifying the mystical aura of the inundation was its timing. At
the time of ancient Egypt, the coming of the gift-carrying flood was
signaled by the appearance of the goddess star Sirius in the morning
just before the sun (heliacal rising), celestially expressing the
rebirth of Isis, the sister-wife of Osiris. To underscore its
significance, the summer flood and the 'rebirth' of Sirius even
coincided with the summer solstice during the early phase of the
Egyptian civilization.
Understandably, the ancient Egyptian view was that the flooding was
caused by the tears of Isis. But in reality it was caused by the
seasonal water-flow fluctuations of the Blue Nile and the Atbara -
the chief tributaries of the Nile in Ethiopia/Sudan.
So we could say
that these tributaries are 'gift rivers'.
As it turns out, the Tigris-Euphrates in Iraq also represents a
'gift river'. As explained in The Time Rivers, this Mesopotamian
river system happens to be an intelligently 'transposed' version of
the Nile tributaries! While we won't go into details here, the
connection between these rivers is undeniable.
Indeed, it is no coincidence that the four rivers associated with
the Garden of Eden in the Bible (Genesis) are the Tigris, the
Euphrates, and two other rivers ('Pishon' and 'Gihon') linked with
'gold' and 'the land of Cush'.[8]
Here is the pertinent passage from
Genesis:
A river rises in Eden to water the garden; outside, it forms four
separate branch streams. The name of the first is Pishon; it is the
one that winds through the whole land of Havilah, where there is
gold… The name of the second river is Gihon; it is the one that
winds through all of the land of Cush. The name of the third river
is Tigris; it is the one that flows east of Asshur. The fourth river
is the Euphrates.[9] [emphasis added]
While there are various speculations, the identities of 'Pishon' and
'Gihon' have been a big mystery - until now.
The initial clue is rather obvious.
-
First, the river 'Gihon' is said
to flow through 'Cush'. In the King James Version, it is translated
as 'Ethiopia' - the very land of the Nile tributaries. The original
term 'Cush' relates to the same general region since the kingdom of
Cush/Kush corresponds to the Nubian area where the Nile tributaries
join the main Nile.
-
Secondly, the river 'Pishon' is said to flow
through a land 'where there is gold'. Well, it just happens that
Cush/Nubia was known to the ancient Egyptians primarily as the land
of gold!
-
Next, both the Gihon and Pishon rivers are described as
winding.
Sure enough, Cush/Nubia - where the Blue Nile and Atbara join the
main Nile - happens to be the only section where the ancient river
dramatically winds, sometimes referred to as the 'Great Bend' of the
Nile!
While these are only introductory clues, clearly the four rivers of
Eden are the Blue Nile, Atbara, Euphrates, and Tigris - all 'gift
rivers'. This is only one of the many pieces of evidence presented
in The Time Rivers to support the 'transposition scheme' uniting the
Ethiopian and Mesopotamian rivers.
This model implies that the Tigris-Euphrates is a 'gift of Osiris'
just as is the Nile itself - thus nicely corroborating the idea of
these two river systems being virtually connected by a 'stargate'
(at 30°N) and the idea of Iraq representing the Osirian Otherworld.
