Thank you for your comments, advice and good wishes. I am only aware of the arsenic in her body. My sister has never mentioned the presence of mercury either to me or to my brother, although that doesn't mean that she may not have raised levels of mercury in her body, she just hasn't mentioned it. If it helps you to know, my sister has certainly had chelation sessions over a period of years under the supervision of an expert. However, due to Covid lockdowns and her admissions to hospital, it may be a few years now since she had her last chelation treatment. Once she is a bit better and is able to Skype us, I will enquire whether she is considering taking up chelation treatment again. The immediate problem at the moment though is that with kidney failure, you get a build up of harmful toxins in the body and especially in the brain. You don't just experience a general brain fog in this case but you can have delusions and psychotic episodes too, as she did when in hospital. The body is an incredibly complex machine. When things go wrong in one area, this can have a knock effect all round the system.

Thank you for these precisions.
My opinion is that it would help her to benefit from another batch of chelation therapy given the cerebral episods she has. Heavy metals "like" hiding in brain. As her husband has knowlege in medecine, maybe this article will interest him? I imagine he has lots of knowledge on this topic, but I read this article for a personal concern last week, and I share it. I read elsewhere on that website that many cycles of EDTA have more results. Metals Archives - Intravenous Disodium Edetate ("chelation")
I hope she will overcome this desease, she seems so courageous.
I am finally getting round to posting my article on the Copper Scroll. Although the article focuses primarily on the Copper Scroll, it includes references to other matters pertaining to the Essenes who are considered to have been the Scroll's creators and to special historic bloodlines that may link together seemingly disparate groups such as the Levites, Essenes, the Knights Templar and the medieval Assassins. As usual, please feel free to comment.
The Copper Scroll
In 1952 a copper scroll was found near a cave in Khirbet, Qumran on the shores of the Dead Sea. Unlike the other Dead Sea Scrolls that were discovered in eleven caves near Khirbet, which were all made of parchment or papyrus, this scroll was made of copper mixed with a little tin. Although the Dead Sea Scrolls comprise fragments of extra-biblical and early Jewish writings primarily in Biblical Aramaic, the Copper Scroll by way of contrast features, in Hebrew, a list of locations at which sacred artefacts and treasures were meant to have been buried or hidden. Dating from circa 50-100 AD, the Copper Scroll contains an inventory of items that were taken from the Temple before its destruction by Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar. These items have not been seen or accounted for since. Among other things, the Copper Scroll claims that the ‘Tabernacle of the Lord’ was hidden in a desolate valley – 40 stones deep under a hill on its east side. This has led many to speculate that the Jewish sect who wrote the Dead Sea Scrolls buried the Ark in the Jordan desert before they were overpowered, or they hid it in a carved-out secret chamber ‘40 stones’ under Temple Mount. Hence, although the Knights Templar had no knowledge of the Dead Sea Scrolls, which were not discovered until 1947, they may still have been trying to locate the Ark of the Covenant under Temple Mount based on other documentary evidence that may have come into their possession (see more on this below). An international team during the mid-20th century investigated the Dead Sea Scrolls and searched every site listed on the Copper Scroll but found nothing relating to the Temple or any biblical artefacts. However, they did find further evidence of the Templar presence in the 12th century, which gave rise to speculation that the Templars were looking for certain things and that they knew where to look.
The subject of the Copper Scroll was raised with the C’s by Laura in the session dated 7 November 1994:
Q: (L) What are the copper scrolls discovered in Israel?
A: Essenes. The treasure described was real but no longer intact as described.
This is quite an illuminating answer since it links the copper scroll(s) with the Essenes, a Jewish monastic style society that operated in and before the time of Christ until they were ruthlessly annihilated by the Romans in the First Century AD during the Jewish Revolt. You will note that the C’s also confirm that the treasure referred to in the scroll, which in my view is no doubt the Jewish Temple Treasures, was real but is no longer intact as described. Did this Treasure include the Ark of the Covenant, i.e., the ‘Tabernacle of the Lord’ and with it the Grail? As mentioned above, the Scroll refers to the ‘Tabernacle of the Lord’ being hidden in a desolate valley – 40 stones deep under a hill on its east side somewhere in the Jordan desert. You will note that this description does not fit well with the idea of the Ark of the Covenant being buried under the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, as many have proposed. Could the Templars excavations under Temple Mount have led to the discovery of a copper scroll like the one found at Khirbet near Qumran, which effectively was a treasure map that enabled the Templars to locate the hidden Temple treasures buried in secret locations throughout the Holy Land and surrounding territories? One man who thought so was the famous Dead Sea Scrolls scholar John Marco Allegro, who was instrumental in the opening and study of the Copper Scroll. He would make a very interesting connection between the Qumran Essene community and Egypt. However, before looking at Allegro’s work, we need to look at the ‘Rex Deus’ Bloodline Hypothesis, which may have relevance to the original Knights Templar.
The Rex Deus Bloodline
The C's have said that bloodlines are important and have even encouraged Forum members to trace their own genealogies. However, outside of royal bloodlines, nowhere has close attention to bloodline inheritance been practised more assiduously than with that of the Jewish priestly bloodline or caste. Could there be a specific reason for this? Does it perhaps represent a special bloodline? If so, does this bloodline have anything to do with the converging special bloodlines that the C’s have referred to in the transcripts?
I have recently been re-reading Dr Joseph Farrell's book Thrice Great Hermetica and the Janus Age. In his book, Farrell follows the 'Rex Deus' Bloodline Hypothesis in relation to the nine original founding knights who established the Catholic military religious order known as the Knights Templar. This theory posits that the founding knights came from families whose roots lay in the Jewish priesthood of Jerusalem, some of whom escaped to Europe and southern France in particular prior to the fall of Jerusalem to the Romans, whose descendants would later marry into the noble houses of France, including those of the Merovingian and Norman nobility. Among the main proponents of this hypothesis are Marilyn Hopkins and Tim Wallace-Murphy. They have promoted the hypothesis in many of their works but especially in their book Rex Deus:The True Mystery of Rennes-le-Château and the Dynasty of Jesus co-written with Graham Simmans. Quoting these authors:

Among the main proponents of this hypothesis are Marilyn Hopkins and Tim Wallace-Murphy. They have promoted the hypothesis in many of their works but especially in their book Rex Deus:The True Mystery of Rennes-le-Château and the Dynasty of Jesus co-written with Graham Simmans. Quoting these authors:
“When we discard the various distractions, we discover a real historical basis for the most unlikely claim of all, the existence of a group of families who have repeatedly conspired together in an attempt to alter the course of European history. These interlinked families all claim descent from the 24 High Priests of the Temple in Jerusalem.”
Farrell also quotes Tim Wallace-Murphy where the researcher received a rather strange confirmation of the Rex Deus Bloodline Hypothesis from a mysterious man called Michael who he met after the conclusion of an address that he had given to a meeting of the Saunière Society near Edinburgh in the late 1980’s. This man proceeded to describe and explain the meaning of certain symbols that Wallace-Murphy might see under the Temple Mount. When Wallace-Murphy inquired where he had obtained this information, the mysterious Michael replied that it was part of the secret traditions of his family for the last 2000 years. He explained how he was a member of a group of families who claimed descent from the Davidic and Hasmonean royal families of Israel or from the 24 High Priests of the Temple in Jerusalem. These families passed down this information from father to selected son or daughter, each father choosing either the eldest child or the most spiritually gifted as the recipient of the secret. Apparently, the genealogies of the early generations of these families had been inscribed on the walls of underground rooms below the Temple in Jerusalem. After the fall of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Temple by the Romans, the surviving families fled but kept the tradition alive. The families also had the obligation to keep accurate genealogies from the time of the fall of the Temple. He claimed that the families often intermarried to preserve the bloodline and increase the likelihood of continuity of the tradition.
Michael also claimed that the Temple in Jerusalem had contained two separate boarding schools, one for boys and one for girls, which were administered by the High Priests who also taught the children. The male graduates were destined to become priests at the Temple, rabbis (preachers) or leading members of the community. All pupils at these schools were drawn from important families of proven Levitic (Hittite] descent. As we have previously learned, the Priesthood in ancient Judaism was an hereditary function and all priests were drawn from the Tribe of Levi, whose members were permitted to marry outside the tribe with the exception of one family group, the Cohens. They were bound by law and custom to marry others from the same family and it was from their ranks that all the High Priests were drawn. The 24 High Priests of the Herodian Temple were thus the apex of the hierarchy of the Jewish religion. They alone had the supreme responsibility and privilege of being allowed to enter the Holy of Holies, the inner sanctum of the Temple, and on ceremonial occasions they would stand in ascending rank on the Temple steps. I will have more to say about the peculiar genealogy of the Jewish priesthood below, which raises some astounding implications, particularly for the special bloodlines that the C’s have mentioned in the transcripts.
Although both Wallace-Murphy and Farrell are well aware of a number of serious difficulties in proving Michael’s claim, Farrell notes that the existence of such a network of families descended from the Jewish High Priesthood would certainly explain how the Templars were founded by nine knights from a group of tight knit French families and how these knights were motivated (perhaps by secret knowledge preserved within the ranks of these families) to carry out excavations under the Temple Mount in order to discover something of great value that had long been buried there.
Farrell goes on to describe how the founding knights may have inherited through their ‘Rex Deus’ roots secret knowledge concerning the Jewish Temple treasures (including perhaps the Ark of the Covenant and the Grail) that had been passed on from father to son intergenerationally. These Rex Deus families had waited patiently for centuries until circumstances arose that provided them with the opportunity go to Jerusalem to reclaim the lost Temple treasures. That opportunity emerged with the Crusades. As most of you will undoubtedly already know, after the fall of Jerusalem to the Crusaders, the Templars were granted lodgings within the former Stables of Solomon on Temple Mount where they conducted a clandestine excavation under the Temple Mount looking for something. Moreover, they seemed to know where to look and perhaps what to look for. Indeed, Farrell believes they found what they were looking for. Hence, there is very good reason to believe that the mission of guarding the highways of the Holy Land to keep Christian pilgrims safe, the alleged raison d’être for their foundation, was just a smokescreen for their true purpose, which was first and foremost to locate and recover the treasure of the Temple and with it lost Kabbalistic knowledge. Indeed, Laura raised the matter with the C's in the session dated 26 July 1997:

Indeed, Laura raised the matter with the C's in the session dated 26 July 1997:
Q: Okay. The Templars were formed in Jerusalem. They were there for quite a while with no record of doing any of the things that the group supposedly intended to do. There are a lot of rumours... what were they doing in Jerusalem?
A: Templars held the secret of levitation'
Q: Is this something... and I am talking about the 9 guys in Jerusalem... did they discover some document in Jerusalem that gave them this secret?
A: Yes.
Q: And is this how they were able to get so much support from certain royal houses and so forth?
A: It is time for you to study Kaballah again, but be careful!!
Thus, the C's are confirming here that the Templars did discover a document containing information, which would lead them, inter alia, to the secret of anti-gravity during their excavations under Temple Mount. However, documents made from papyrus and animal skin parchment are likely to corrupt over a long passage of time, and we are talking about a period of well over a thousand years here if not more. Admittedly, the famous Dead Sea Scrolls have survived for even longer in the dry, arid air of desert caves at Qumran, but even these scrolls are in a very fragmentary state. If you want a written document to survive for millennia, the best media to preserve such writings in are either stone, clay or metal. Indeed, just such a document was discovered in 1952 when, as mentioned at the start of this article, an archaeologist found a copper scroll near a cave in Khirbet, Qumran on the shores of the Dead Sea.
As I said above, unlike the other Dead Sea Scrolls that were discovered in eleven caves near Khirbet, which were all made of parchment or papyrus, this scroll was made of copper mixed with a little tin (one per cent). Although the Dead Sea Scrolls comprise fragments of extra-biblical and early Jewish writings, the Copper Scroll by way of contrast features, in Hebrew, a list of locations at which sacred artefacts and treasures are meant to be buried or hidden. Dating from circa 50-100 AD, the Copper Scroll contains an inventory of items that were taken from the Temple before its destruction by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. These items have supposedly not been seen or accounted for since. Hence, they were already long lost even before the destruction of the second Temple by the Romans.

The Dead Sea Scrolls were also mentioned in the same session dated 26 July 1997:
Q: What about the Essenes and the Dead Sea Scrolls?
A: Kaballah.
Q: What is so explosive in the Dead Sea Scrolls that they cannot release them?
A: Wait and see.
You will note here that the C's refer to "Kaballah" again, which suggests that this may have been part of the information the Knights Templar had discovered through their excavations and subsequent treasure hunt. It would seem from what the C's are saying that the Jewish Essenes at Qumran were also privy to the secrets of Kaballah. To date the Dead Sea Scrolls have supposedly been cloaked in secrecy with only limited extracts being made available (a claim though which is debateable). However, you will note that in 1997, the C's were telling Laura to wait and see whether explosive details may eventually be released.
Thus, it is with some interest that I discovered that in 2021, the Israeli Antiquities Authority revealed that it had found new fragments from the Dead Sea Scrolls, the first find of its kind in six decades, at the Murabba’at Caves, Nahal Darga Reserve in Israel.
These new Scrolls contained pieces of the book of the twelve minor prophets, including Nahum and Zechariah. The new discovery was thought to be part of the Minor Prophets, a scroll found in the early 1950s that contains information about the End of Days. The Scrolls survived for thousands of years, thanks to the hot, arid conditions in which the fragments were found.
Is it possible that these new finds may have played into the current push to build the Third Temple and bring about the 'End of Days' and the Messianic scenario that is being played out in Israel/Palestine at the present time? This 'End of Days' and Messianic scenario was certainly something that was a major part of the philosophy of the Essenes of Qumran who had wished to prepare for the coming of the Messiah.
However, I only mention this in passing since Farrell believes that the Knights Templar may have discovered another copper scroll in Jerusalem, which allowed them to track the Temple treasures down, which had been missing since the conquest of Jerusalem by King Nebuchadnezzar in 587 BC.
Among other things, the Copper Scroll claims that the ‘Tabernacle of the Lord’ was hidden in a desolate valley – 40 stones deep under a hill on its east side. This has led many to speculate that the Jewish sect who wrote the Dead Sea Scrolls (most probably the Essenes) buried the Ark in the Jordan desert* before they were overpowered, or they hid it in a carved-out secret chamber ‘40 stones’ under Temple Mount. Hence, although the Templars had no knowledge of the Dead Sea Scrolls, which were not discovered until 1947, they may still have been trying to locate the Ark of the Covenant under Temple Mount based on other documentary evidence that may have come into their possession. As mentioned above, an international team during the mid-20th century investigated the Dead Sea Scrolls and searched every site listed on the Copper Scroll but found nothing relating to the Temple or any biblical artefacts [MJF: No doubt because the Templars had got there first!]. However, they did supposedly find further evidence of the Templar presence in the 12th century, which gave rise to speculation that the Templars were looking for certain things and that they knew where to look.
*I have written elsewhere that it has been claimed that an English Templar Knight, Ralph de Sudely, who commanded a detachment of Templars at a Templar fort overlooking the valley in which the ancient city of Petra is located, may have discovered the lost Ark of the Covenant (and with it the Grail) in a carved out chamber located under the building known as the ‘Treasury’ which forms part of the ruins at Petra. This is the same Treasury building which film director Stephen Spielberg used as a backdrop for the final scenes of his movie Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade where the eponymous screen archaeologist and hero finds the Holy Grail being guarded by a very old Templar Knight. A small rectangular chamber located at the end of a carved tunnel under the Treasury was excavated at the end of the last century by archaeologists who found it to be empty. However, local Bedouin Arab tradition holds that the Templars did find a treasure within a chest or box at this site. I would add here that the location of the ancient city of Petra certainly fits well with the Scroll’s description of a desolate valley in the Jordan desert.

The English researcher Graham Phillips has championed this theory and is now even quoted in Wikipedia as regards it:
“Graham Phillips claimed Ralph de Sudeley may have found the Ark of the Covenant when he discovered the Maccabean treasure at Jebel al Madhbah [Petra]. Because Sudeley returned to Britain, it is theorised that he may have taken the Ark to Great Britain with him.”
Sir Ralph de Sudely returned to England in 1189 a very rich man, building a large, well-manned Templar preceptory on an estate he purchased at Herdewyke in Warwickshire. He allegedly brought back with him certain sacred relics from the Holy Land (possibly some of the 'Stones of Fire', gemstones which adorned the Jewish High Priest's breastplate or Ephod), which were displayed by the Templar priests at their chapel in Herdewyke, which still survives to this day. The relics were never found after the demise of the Templar priests and monks of Herdewyke when the Black Death struck Europe and England in the mid-14th century. It is possible though that a local antiquarian did find them only to hide them again (due to a lack of recognition) until Graham Phillips and his American friends, the Russells, located them based on clues hidden by the antiquarian in the stain-glass windows that he had commissioned for a local church. It is even possible that one of the hidden treasures they located was one of the stones on which the Ten Commandments (which were kept in the Ark of the Covenant) had been inscribed. Experts at the British Museum were unable to recognise the symbols engraved on the stone slab suggesting it may be very old since the symbols seem to pre-date known ancient languages and alphabets such as those of the Phoenicians, Minoans, Hittites, Hebrews etc. and even Celtic runic script.
For a fuller consideration of Ralph de Sudely's possible involvement in finding the lost Ark of the Covenant, see my earlier article The Knights Templar, Jeremiah and the Ark of the Covenant.
The Peculiar Genealogy of the Jewish priesthood
One of the researchers into the Dead Sea Scroll who Farrell quotes extensively in his book is Robert Feather who wrote two books on the subject. These are: The Copper Scroll Decoded: One Man's Search for the Fabulous Treasures of Ancient Egypt (1999) and The Mystery of the Copper Scrolls of Qumran: The Essene Record of the Treasure of Akhenaten (2003), which effectively was an updated reprint of his first book. One of Feather's discoveries and conclusions, which Farrell highlights in his book, involves the peculiar genealogy of the Jewish priesthood, which may be a smoking gun and support what the C's said about the Levites (who the C's described as a "sect of monk-like pacifists connected to Moses”) who may have been part Nephilim hybrids like Abraham and Nefertiti.
Quoting Feather:
"There is fascinating firm scientific evidence, 3000 years after the event, that underlines the homogeneity of the Hebrew peoples but also reveals a genetically separate priestly faction with quite different DNA patterns.
A January 1997 edition of Nature carried an article on the 'Y chromosomes of Jewish priests'. The Y-chromosome is inherited paternally and does not recombine. Because of this fact the research teams at the Technicon-Israel Institute, the University of Toronto, University College, London and the University of Arizona who wrote the article, chose to study the genetic coding of Jewish males whose designation to the priesthood, through strict patrilineal descent, has continued for thousands of years right up to this day. The surnames of the priestly strain are generally derivations of the name 'Cohanim'. The researchers concluded that there are clear differences in the frequency of Y-chromosome hapolytes between an unbroken line of Jewish 'priests' and their lay counterparts. Quite remarkably, the difference is observable in both the Ashkenazi (Central European) and Sepharid (North African, Spanish, Middle Eastern) descended populations, despite the huge geographical separations of these original communities.
The study showed that there is a 'relative preponderance of the YAP-DYS19B hapolyte in both Jewish populations, suggesting that this may have been the founding hapolyte of the Jewish priesthood'. The presence or absence of the Y chromosomes is thought to represent a unique evolutionary event dated to between 29,000 and 340,000 years ago. The significance of this latter statement is that the priestly strain must have pre-existed, by many thousands of years, events in biblical times [MJF: Could it even date back to Kantek?].
In other words, the priestly group that were 'chosen' by Moses to provide the line of High Priests and prime guardians of the holy rituals [MJF: i.e., the Levites] were already genetically different from the bulk of the Hebrews and must have come, or originated, from outside the main Hebrew tribes.*
One possible consequence of the genetic-factor evidence is that Aaron and his family, who were designated to fill the role of High Priest, were of a different DNA grouping to the rest of the Hebrews. As the brother of Moses, in Old Testament terms, the proposition that Moses was an Egyptian becomes even more convincing."

One possible consequence of the genetic-factor evidence is that Aaron and his family, who were designated to fill the role of High Priest, were of a different DNA grouping to the rest of the Hebrews. As the brother of Moses, in Old Testament terms, the proposition that Moses was an Egyptian becomes even more convincing."
*N.B. The C’s had this to say about the origins of the Hebrew people:
Session 16 September 1995:
Q: (RC) Did the Hoovids become the Hebrews?
A: No. Hebrews do not stem from single grouping.
Q: (L) Are or were the Hebrews a separate racial group?
A: Not necessarily.
Q: (L) What was the origin of the Hebrew People?
A: Genetic construct.
Q: (L) Who did this genetic construct?
A: Guess.
Q: The Atlanteans?
A: Not that simple.
Q: (L) The lizzies?
A: How about joint effort?
Q: (RC) The Sirians and the Pleiadians?
A: Getting colder.
Q: (L) The Orion Union?
A: Okay, but include C.O.C. How does one restrain density 2 companion?
Q: (L) Chain? Chain of Command? Are there any actual inhabited planets in the Pleaides?
A: Yes.
Q: (RC) What about the Sirians?
A: Yes.
Q: (L) Alright, the Orions created the Hebrews. What was the purpose for which this genetic variation was created?
A: Manipulation.
[…]
Q: (L) And what was the desired result of the Hebrew genetic manipulation?
A: Further control through the fostering of mistrust and hostility, leading to enslavement and warring. … Also accomplished renewed and invigorated 3rd to 4th density "feeding."
The C’s confirmed elsewhere that the hostility between the people we think of as the Jews today (the Sephardim) and the Aryans/Celts dated all the way back to Kantek. Hence, the genetic tweaking or variation referred to in the passage above, most likely occurred on that planet rather than Earth.
This research provides truly astounding results when you consider that the C's told us that Abraham/Moses was not an Egyptian, as Feather suggests, but an Indo-European, Levite/Hittite hybrid and his monk-like Levite brothers have seemingly provided the genetics for an unbroken line of Jewish High Priests from the inception of the Jewish faith right up to the present day. Does their YAP-DYS19B hapolyte provide a smoking gun for the genetic tweak the C's spoke of? Was it made 130,000 years ago on Kantek (N.B. Farrell favours 140,000) or far more recently?
But Feather did not stop there for in his book he produced a plate of a photograph which he had reproduced from Robert Eisenman's and Michael Wise's book The Dead Sea Scrolls Uncovered (1992). Quoting Feather:

But Feather did not stop there for in his book he produced a plate of a photograph which he had reproduced from Robert Eisenman's and Michael Wise's book The Dead Sea Scrolls Uncovered (1992). Quoting Feather:
"When I first noticed the images, I thought I was dreaming .... No-one previously seems to have noticed what I hope to have seen for yourself. Amongst the Mount Rushmore-like shapes in the hills directly above Qumran there appear to be faces. For me, these elongated faces look remarkably like ancient Egyptians. If that is what they are, what on earth are they doing staring over the ruins of a Jewish settlement on the Dead Sea?"
Unfortunately, the black and white photographic image of the plate produced in Farrell's book is not good enough to scan and reproduce here. However, Farrell makes an important observation and that is that he is inclined to see the "images" or "faces" as resembling more the Maui heads of Easter Island, which the C's said were representations of the Nephilim:
Q: (L) Who carved the stone heads on Easter Island?
A: Lemurian descendants.
Q: (L) The natives say the stones walked into position. Is this true?
A: No.
Q: (L) Well, how?
A: Tonal vibration. [MJF: This may prove that the Nephilim giants could have been involved with the Megalithic builders of Stonehenge, the Great Pyramid at Giza and other Megalithic sites such as those on Malta, Sardinia and even at Goblekli Tepe in Turkey, as the C’s confirmed that Stonehenge and the Great Pyramid were also constructed by using sound waves to position the stones in place.]
A: Nephalim.
Farrell provides further comments to the effect that he had not been able to locate any photographs of the same embankment at Qumran from any other angles, nor any head on photographs, since the photograph showed the "faces" in profile only, as is the case with the Maoi statue shown below.
Nevertheless, he felt Feather's comments were revealing of yet another possible mystery, for if these were genuine images, then they are in a serious state of decay, a decay that would even have been evident in the time of the Qumran community, begging the question of what the Essenes were doing there in the first place. Farrell then ponders who put the images there, how long ago and why would a strict Jewish community like the Essenes choose to make it the site of their principal settlement. The Essenes, who were a community preoccupied with ritual purity, would no doubt have viewed any images that might be connected with Egypt as profane. Could it be, however, that they knew these images were connected to their ancient Nephilim (Anunnaki) forefathers?

The Damascus Document
As Farrell notes in his book, clearly the Templars found something during their covert excavations under Temple Mount. Marilyn Hopkins, Tim Wallace-Murphy and Graham Simmans claim that some of these Templar finds included “scrolls”, which were “dispatched back to France” with Godfroi de St. Omer, one of the nine founding knights of the Order, where one of them apparently remains in the University of Ghent’s library. However, even ignoring the strong likelihood of the Templars having discovered something like the Copper Scroll, which allowed them to retrieve the lost Treasures of the Temple and the secrets of the Kabballah, Farrell points out that there already existed additional and indisputable proof that some of the contents of the Dead Sea Scrolls were indeed known in the Middle Ages since the famous ‘Damascus Document’, containing part of the Rule of the Essene community at Qumran, was discovered in 1897 in synagogues in Cairo, Egypt. The fragments of this document were dated to between the 10th and 12th Centuries AD, making them of Medieval provenance and thus within the timeframe of the Templars. However, it was only with the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls at Qumran in 1947 that it was appreciated that the Damascus Document contained the Rule of the Qumran community. This led Farrell to pose the question why are part of the Dead Sea Scrolls – indeed, a scroll containing the very rule of the Qumran Essene community, a community preoccupied with ritual purity, a community holding itself aloof from the Official Temple in Jerusalem – found in a synagogue in Cairo in Egypt, the land that the Jewish Essenes would have identified with the biblical symbol of idolatry, representing everything that Moses had led the Hebrew away from? However, although today we say that ‘All roads lead to Rome’ for the Essenes, it would seem it was more a case of ‘All roads lead to Egypt’. Indeed, the C’s have effectively told us as much:
Q: Well, then, what is the explanation for these carvings in Rosslyn Chapel?
A: Visitors yes, but the Masonic creed is intertwined with ancient order of Essenes, arising out of ancient Egypt, from the secret knowledge stored at the base of the Sphinx, as left there by "Atlantean" survivors.
Hence, the C’s are telling us here that the Essene Order arose out of ancient Egypt from knowledge that had been stored at the base of the Sphinx by Atlantean survivors and thus they would seem to have a very ancient provenance, one which long pre-dates the era of Abraham/Moses. Moreover, the knowledge they possessed seems to have been inherited to an extent by the modern Freemasons whose own pedigree appears to be linked with a group the C’s referred to as the Osirians:
Session 16 October 1994:
Q: (L) I would like to know what is the origin of the Freemasons?
A: Osirians.
Q: (L) Can you tell us when the original Freemasons formed as a society?
A: 5633 B.C.
Q: (L) Is Freemasonry as it is practiced today the same?
A: 33rd degree, yes. [MJF: At or above this level would seem to sit the Illuminati since the C’s have said that the Freemasons are the low-level branch of the Illuminati. According to Tim Wallace-Murphy, the Illuminati were also the adepts at the top level of initiation into the priesthood of ancient Egypt – see my earlier article The Egyptian Pilgrimage of Initiation.]
Q: (L) So, there is a continuing tradition for over 7 thousand years?
A: Yes.
However, the Essenes may also be linked with the brotherhood the C’s have referred to as the ‘White Sect’ given what they said in the session dated 6 June 1998:
Q: Aryans are not precisely known as a sect, but what sect is there among Aryans that you were referring to; what is it called?
A: White sect.
[MJF: In the session dated 5 October 1994 the C’s had referred to the ‘White Sect’:
Q: (L) What is the White Sect?
A: AKA Aryans. Andarans.
{We didn't as who were the Andarans, though it did come up again in a later session.}
The Andarans would appear to be the same group as the Antareans who we have looked at before on this thread. Through the subterranean Aryans, there may also be a link here to the ‘Nation of the Third Eye’ as well.]
Q: So, they call it the White Sect. Is it like the White Brotherhood?
A: Those of fair complexion who wear white robes. [MJF: The reference to “fair complexion” here makes me think of the fair skinned Celts (Aryans) who the C’s said shared a common origin with the Essenes - “A: Only to the extent of the shared origins of the Essenes and the Celts.”]
Q: (T) We call them KKK here! (L) Similar to the Templars? Is there, for example, a name that they call themselves?
A: White Sect.
Q: And when they call themselves this, in what language did they create this moniker?
A: Aramaic. [MJF: We should note here that the Essenes of Christ’s time spoke Aramaic not Hebrew as a first language? The researcher Laurence Gardner also noted that the title “Essene” most likely derived from the Aramaic word “Assaya”, meaning “physician,” which corresponded to the Greek word “Essenoi”.]
Q: So, we need to know what it is in Aramaic. What kind of teachings did they follow?
A: Similar to the monks of orthodox Christianity*.
*MJF: Christian Monasticism as we know it today grew out of the early desert fathers in Egypt where the Essenes had originally been based. These desert fathers were essentially hermits who started to band together to form religious communities. Perhaps the most famous of the desert fathers was St Anthony the Great who, of course, figures in the Rennes-le-Château mystery via David Teniers’s painting ‘The Temptation of St Anthony’. St. Anthony is considered the father and founder of desert monasticism. The desert monastic communities that grew out of the informal gathering of these hermit monks later became the model for Christian monasticism, first influencing the Egyptian Coptic communities that these monks were a part of and preached to and later the eastern monastic tradition at Mount Athos in Greece and the western Rule of St Benedict, both of which were strongly influenced by the traditions that began in the desert.
Q: Is it true that the Essene community that was attempting to prepare a vessel for the coming of the messiah, that this was their whole plan, their work?
A: No.
Q: This sect existed... where was this monastery or group located?
A: Near today's Haifa. [MJF: This reference to the sect being located near to modern day Haifa seems to distinguish them from the Essene community based at Qumran.]
It is interesting to note here that the Jewish Essenes and the Egyptian Therapeutae were known for wearing white robes, particularly when performing rituals or ceremonies. Moreover, the medieval Carmelite Friars who founded their original monastery on Mount Carmel in Palestine also wore a white habit, as did the Knights Templar, who, even though they were a military religious order, were themselves monastics who lived a life together in common under a monastic rule.
The White Brotherhood
Apart from the White Sect, Laura also referred above to a group called the White Brotherhood. The C’s did not answer her question directly. Hence, we are left wondering whether the two groups are one and the same.
Laurence Gardner (a Masonic scholar and antiquary) in his book The Shadow of Solomon made an interesting link between the White Brotherhood – who for him were the master craftsmen of Pharoah Tuthmoses III – and the Essenes. Gardner tells us that the city of Heliopolis, or On in Egyptian, was a centre of the White Brotherhood. Gardner tells us that there were 39 members on the High Council of Karnak, where the pharaoh erected nine large obelisks (two of which now stand in London and New York, both being erroneously called Cleopatra’s Needle). Gardner linked this brotherhood with the mysterious white powder we now appreciate as being David Hudson’s monoatomic gold (a form of ORME or Orbitally Rearranged Monoatomic Element - known to the Knights Templar and the Rosicrucians as ‘Ormus’). Indeed, Gardner points out in his book that a stone relief carving has been found of Tuthmoses III receiving ceremoniously the ‘white bread of gold’ at Karnak (which may later have been a model for the shewbread offered by the Jewish Levite priests in the Temple of Jerusalem). Gardner claims that this mysterious priestly society eventually became known as the Therapeutate who would go on to influence the Essene community at Qumrân.
However, let us not forget that in an earlier article I pointed out that Abraham/Moses may have been Crown Prince Thutmose, a son of Amenhotep III and brother of Akhenaten (although not necessarily a blood brother), who gave up command of an army and the governorship of Memphis to become a priest at Heliopolis – the city of the sun-god Ra known as On in ancient Egypt. He may also have been the renegade priest from Heliopolis who the Egyptian historian Manetho claimed to have led a rebellion against the pharaoh at the old Hyksos capitol at Avaris in the Nile peninsula where the Hebrews may have congregated. I speculated in that article whether Abraham/Moses may have been the proto-Jewish Essene using knowledge he had gained as a priest whilst at Heliopolis, where the White Brotherhood had their main centre. In my article The Egyptian Pilgrimage of Initiation, I described how Egyptian adepts undertook a pilgrimage of initiation at seven temple sites throughout Egypt where they took part in initiation ceremonies that involved special handshakes and passwords as they progressed through the various degrees or stages of enlightenment, which appears to be very similar to what happens today in modern Masonic degree initiation ceremonies. One of the temples used for these Egyptian initiations was the Temple at Heliopolis where Crown Prince Thutmose allegedly became a priest.
As I explained in the article, the Temple of Heliopolis, was the place where the sixth degree was bestowed and it represented the brow chakra connected to the third eye (taken to be the pineal gland), the eye of the mind where the voice of God was seen as a thought form. The final or seventh degree, representing the crown chakra, had two temples, Behedet and Heliopolis, where the vision of absolute truth was completed. This was the ultimate centre of illumination wherein was granted pure knowledge and an awareness of God that was beyond all understanding. Here the initiate was directly connected with the An (N.B. phonetically similar to “On” and to "Anu", the Anunnaki chief god of the Sumerians), the Heavenly Father or the mind of God itself. Once fully initiated, the candidate became a new member of the Illuminati and was invested with the insignia of the Ankh, which the C’s said was the ancient symbol of the planet D'Ankhiar, a female symbol standing for the original mother planet. At the seventh degree, the most complete and detailed explanation of the supreme mysteries was then imparted to the new initiate, or prophet, whereby he gained both the right and the ability to read all the mystical books of Hermes [Trismegistus] and the scriptures of other nations to which he now had the Royal Key.
I wonder here if this Royal Key is the same perhaps as the alchemical key the C’s were referring to in the following extract from the transcripts:

I wonder here if this Royal Key is the same perhaps as the alchemical key the C’s were referring to in the following extract from the transcripts:
Session 26 July 1997:
Q: The Counts of Flanders and Champagne were the sponsors of Chretien de Troyes who wrote the original Grail stories in which Perceval figures so prominently. These guys were also connected with the Templars. Well, it seems that the Templars were not the only ones getting picked on during certain periods. The Percy family has had much MORE than its share! Why?
A: You will be "picked on" too, if you learn too many secrets!!
Q: So, the Percys DID know something. I understand that the Percy family has a collection of 62 alchemical manuscripts... which is actually how I found out about Alnwick - I was tracking these alchemical texts....
A: But if you go there, do not ask for the key!
This account of the ultimate illumination of the Egyptian adept who, if successful, went on to become a member of the Illuminati, is today reflected in the attainment of the 33rd degree (Scottish Rite) of modern Freemasonry according to the C’s:
Session 16 October 1994:
Q: (L) Is Freemasonry as it is practiced today the same?
A: 33rd degree, yes.
Q: (L) So, there is a continuing tradition for over 7 thousand years?
A: Yes.
However, as I mentioned above, the C’s have also told us that the Illuminati are today the higher echelons of Freemasonry:
Q: (L) How do the Masons relate to the Illuminati?
A: Masons are low level branch.
Does this suggest that Crown Prince Thutmose, as Abraham/Moses and possibly the renegade priest Osarsiph, became a member of the Egyptian Illuminati, the equivalent today of a 33rd degree Freemason, thereby learning all of their secrets? If so, was this esoteric knowledge conveyed to him by the priests of Heliopolis - who may perhaps have been, or later became, the Egyptian Essenes or Therapeutate – knowledge which would over time be passed on to the Jewish Essenes of Qumrân via Abraham/Moses and the Levite priesthood, and subsequently via groups like the Assassins and the Knights Templar, to the modern-day Freemasons?
One hint of this may come from the biblical story of the worship of the ‘Golden Calf’, where after coming down from Mount Sinai, an angry Moses punished the main perpetrators of the event for their idolatry by ordering the golden calf to be burned and reduced to a fine powder, which he then forced the guilty Israelites to ingest. This suggests that Moses had learned the secret of the enigmatic white powder the Egyptians referred to as Tchãm, which, as monatomic gold, has many strange properties including the power of levitation, which could provide an explanation for how four Levites bearers were able to carry the gold lined Ark of the Covenant when the great weight of the Ark should have been too much for four men to bear, and the power of entrancement or mind control, given what the C’s said here about it:

Q: (L) OK, now, this David Hudson tape, about what he calls the Philosopher's Stone. What is this substance that David Hudson has discovered?
A: Watch developments there only from a distance.
Q: (L) Is taking this substance as he is talking about, is it dangerous, as I kind of think it is?
A: Possibly.
Q: (L) So, in other words, I should not get involved in that, either?
A: Up to you.
Q: (L) I know it's up to me, but you said to watch it from a distance, so I'm assuming that is a clue...
A: Yes.
Q: (L) OK, my feeling is that there is some negative energy behind that, even though he is trying to be a positive person and do positive things, and that...
A: This is often true!
Q: (L) I think that taking something like that to transform your consciousness without doing the work or having it occur naturally is black magic. That's what I think. (F) It's too easy... I read over the years bits and pieces from various different sources that all the things he described in there which to us would appear to be an extreme ethereal and spiritual level, such as some of those in India achieve, and all that... are possible for those who are willing to sacrifice. (L) I don't think you even have to sacrifice so much as have the desire and the natural destiny and ..... (F) Well, did Jesus take this gold powder?
A: No.
Q: (L) Did Adolph Hitler take this kind of powder, or something similar?
A: Yes.
Q: (F): That paints a rather bleak picture, doesn't it? (L) Could this powder be utilized to transform a person into a very positive entity doing great good?
A: Or could it be utilized to transform an entire race of beings into hypnotic submission !!!!!!!!!!!
Could that entire race have been the Hebrews of Abraham/Moses’ time? However, this use of Monoatomic gold to induce hypnotic control over others was not it seems just confined to the White Brotherhood of Heliopolis and Abraham/Moses and the Israelites because the C’s also referred elsewhere to the Enclave of Alchemists in the Pyrenees who also seem to make use of it:
Session 16 September 1995:
Q: (RC) And the guy died... (L) That's interesting... Okay, change of subject. Back when we were talking about the pit on Oak Island, and you asked me to do some research on it, the answers I came up with were that the responsible group were alchemists. Is this correct?
A: Yes.
Q: (L) Was one of the alchemists involved Nicholas Flamel?
A: Yes.
Q: (L) Is it true that there is an enclave of alchemists that live somewhere in the Pyrenees...
A: Yes.
Q: (L) Is this the group that you referred to as "The Quorum" in a previous session?
A: Partly.
Q: (L) Do these alchemists use this power as talked about by David Hudson to enhance their longevity and their physical health?
A: And to control.
Q: (L) Are there people in this enclave who live for literally hundreds, if not thousands, of years?
A: Open.
But let us not forget that the Knights Templars, who the C’s said held the secret of levitation (which may be linked with the anti-gravity properties of monoatomic gold), had a strong presence on both sides of the Pyrenees before their suppression and were themselves practising alchemists. This leads me to wonder whether members of the Knights Templar Order might even form part of this enclave of alchemists, especially if they can live for hundreds of years by taking monoatomic gold. On the basis that using monoatomic gold can extend normal life expectancy, I am also led to wonder whether Sir Francis Bacon (a practising alchemist) may, like Nicholas Flamel, have faked his death and joined the enclave of alchemists in the Pyrenees where he still resides to this day.
It also seems from the transcripts that these alchemists may have a representation within the mysterious group called the Quorum, who the C’s have said are primarily alien but with some human members too:
It also seems from the transcripts that these alchemists may have a representation within the mysterious group called the Quorum, who the C’s have said are primarily alien but with some human members too:
Q: (L) Okay, square one: Is the quorum composed of humans who have been alchemists, who are presently in possession of a substance called "the elixir of life" and which David Hudson calls "monoatomic gold?"
A: And much, much more! Monoatomic gold is but one minor issue here. Why get lead astray by focusing upon it solely. It would be akin to focusing on the fact that "Batman" can fly! Is that the only important thing that "Batman" does in the story? Is it?
Q: (L) Of course not! (R) Batman fights crime!
A: What we mean is that alchemy is but one minor piece of the puzzle.
Q: (L) Okay, I understand. But, understanding the alchemical connection, and its potential for extending life and opening certain abilities, makes it more feasible to think of a group that has been present steadily and consistently for many thousands of years on earth.
A: They are not the only ones!
Q: (L) Oh! I knew I was opening a can of worms!
As to the addictive quality of monoatomic gold, the C’s also had this to say about it:
Session 7 June 1997:
Q: Is it something that holds one more firmly in 3rd density, and the elimination of it enables one to switch densities... or...
A: Tis magnetite that acts as a conduit, and perhaps, just perhaps, allows for transference back and forth at will?!? And what about the legend about the alchemists? Is not the key term there really transformation?!? And has not the "smoke screen" really been delivered so effectively by all the concentration upon the substance?!? And does not this remind one indeed of all the misguided concentration upon substance rather than meaning that one finds so regularly on 3rd density??
Q: I get it! So, it is the magnetite in the body, that collects and holds the charge, and it has absolutely nothing to do with an external substance at all! Is that it?
A: You are getting "warmer."
Q: Am I right, we need more iron for magnetite, or am I completely off base here?
A: You are right, but, do not underestimate the significance of that just delivered! What better deception than to divert the meaning of alchemy, by focusing upon substance, then addicting those souls bound to 3rd density to the substance?
Q: Okay, it is the magnetite that acts as a conduit. And the concentration is upon the substance, that is, the magnetite. Let me conjecture that the thing that is believed to be distilled out of the alchemical operations is magnetite, is that correct?
A: No, because no need, if not deceived by other efforts.
Q: Were these other efforts involved with sexual function?
A: More like the results of same.
Q: Okay, they were concentrating on...
A: Today's version of the deception could be your favourite and mine, "monoatomic gold."
Q: Oh, the David Hudson fiasco...
A: There too, one is lead astray by substance... Remember our little dissertation about all the really big bangs?
Q: Yes.... I remember... and I got a lot of flack from that... The three days of darkness, et cetera... the implications... let's back up...
A: Oh my, oh my, we can turn this powder into gold!! And if you eat enough of it, you will have orgasms forever as a light being... Oh my, oh my!!
Q: Good point! Getting people addicted to the substance by these claims...
If Abraham/Moses and his Levite priestly brothers took the secrets of alchemy and monoatomic gold into the desert with them (as well as the Kabbalah) during their exodus from Egypt, was it these secrets that were passed on to the Jewish Essenes, which were subsequently rediscovered by the nine original Templar Knights in the Holy Land, who were themselves Rex Deus descendants of these Levite priests?
Finally, I would ask whether Laurence Gardner’s ‘White Brotherhood’, as represented by the master craftsmen of Pharoah Tuthmoses III and the Essenes, are the same as, or are in some way connected to, the Great White Brotherhood which the C’s referred to in the session dated 31May 1995:

Q: (L) I have read a number of things recently purportedly channelled by the "Great White Brotherhood." I would like to know if there is such a thing?
A: No.
Q: (L) There is no "Great White Brotherhood?" (SV) How come Edgar Cayce talked about it?
A: Not as such.
Q: (L) What is it that they have been calling the "Great White Brotherhood?"
A: ?
Q: (L) What is the Great White Brotherhood that Cayce was referring to?
A: Various STO.
Q: (L) Do they identify themselves as the Great White Brotherhood?
A: Sometimes.
Q: (L) If they are not the "Great White Brotherhood," what are they?
A: Fourth density STO.
Q: (L) What is their purpose or work?
A: Complex, suggest you wait and see.
Q: (L) Are we going to be contacted by the Great White Brotherhood?
A: Maybe.
Since the C’s describe the Great White Brotherhood as various Fourth Density STO beings, this seems to rule out the Egyptian Essenes and the Levite priests of Moses, who we may assume were all Third Density beings. However, we know that some Aryan subterranean types are bi-density beings who operate on the surface world from time to time (see recent transcripts on this subject), so we cannot completely rule out the presence of 3D/4D STO operatives among the ranks of the Essenes and Levites (who we now know have unique genetics), especially as the C’s confirmed that Abraham/Moses’ wife Nefertiti/Sarah was a Hittite/Levite who was also was a large-headed hybrid and a ‘deep level punctuator’ who originally came from the subterranean realm. As to whether the Levites were STO orientated, the C’s had this to say about them:
Q: Who were the Levites?
A: Sect of monk-like pacifists. Connected to Moses.
The above statement that they were monk-like pacifists might be viewed as burnishing their STO credentials. It is interesting that the C’s have told Laura to wait and see as regards the purpose and work of the Great White Brotherhood. I assume she is still waiting to learn what their purpose and work is, but the C’s have suggested elsewhere that 4D STO will eventually make contact with her.
The Qumran Essenes
Who exactly were the Qumran Essenes? In answering this question, I have been assisted by a book my brother loaned to me called ‘Jesus, Qumran and the Vatican’ by two German researchers Otto Benz and Rainer Riesner. At the head of the Qumran community was a small group of priests who regarded themselves as the faithful ‘Sons of Zadok’, who was a priest at the time of King David and is regarded as the ancestor of the regular ‘Zadokite’ or ‘Sadducean’ priesthood. In the Damascus Document (see above), Zadok is revered as a revealer of the book of the Torah (instruction of Moses) which after Joshua was supposedly hidden in the Ark of the Covenant.
Whereas the Pharisees taught a twofold Torah which involved the Book of Moses and an oral tradition (the ‘Sayings of the Fathers’), which was revealed, like the written one, on Mount Sinai and had been faithfully handed down to that day, the Essenes of Qumran, like the Sadducees, rejected such an oral tradition. It was made clear in the Qumran letter labelled 4QMMT, however, that the Qumran community had in fact split away from the Sadducean priesthood in Jerusalem, which they came to view as the ‘congregation of the men of falsehood’. According to the Damascus Rule, these true sons of Zadok repented and left the land of Judah in rejection of the official doctrine of the Temple priesthood, so as to apply themselves to the true, revealed Torah of Moses and true obedience to the Law. The Essenes of Qumran, as Sons of Zadok (Zadokites), wanted to be the true ‘Sadducees’, those who wished to remain loyal to the covenant of God and the Torah of Moses and were ready to repent. According to 4QMMT, they separated themselves from the people on grounds of conscience. The Jewish historian Josephus believed that this separation and emigration of these Zadokites, and thus the formation of the Jewish Essenes, must have taken place in the time of the first Hasmonaean high priest Jonathan (152-134 BC), since the Essenes were mentioned for the first time in this period (ref. Jewish Antiquities XIII, 171-173). As Benz and Riesner state: “Under the ‘Teacher of Righteousness’ this separation led to a spiritualisation of the sanctuary and sacrificial worship in self-chosen exile, intensification of obedience to the law and the ideal of priestly purity, and in the Qumran settlement to an un-Jewish, monastic way of living”.
Effectively, these Zadokite priests who founded the Qumran Essenes and who would later be joined by Levites and lay people became a sect which claimed to be the true people of God. Like Israel once on Sinai, they wanted to prepare for God in the wilderness and therefore to be ‘a kingdom of priests and a holy people’. Thus, the Sinai tradition was the ‘basic law’ of Qumran. We should note that a life of poverty and chastity ordained in the Community Rule and confirmed by Philo, Josephus and Pliny was unique in Judaism and altogether different from the theological aims and activities of the Sadducees who embodied the priestly aristocracy and the rich upper classes of Jerusalem. The Zadokite Essenes, by way of contrast to the Sadducees who were not always popular with the people, were regarded as the ‘pious, holy ones, which is how Philo explained the name ‘Essene’.
However, as Josephus shows, the Essenes differed in other ways from the teachings of the Sadducees. The Essenes believed, for example, in God’s predestination (or predetermination) whereas the Sadducees believed that men forged their own destinies. The same was also true as regards the resurrection of the dead and the last judgment where the Sadducees denied the concept of the incorruptibility of the soul, but the Essenes believed in a life after death either in light or in darkness depending on how one had lived one’s life. To support this the authors quote from the letter of the ‘Teacher of Righteousness’ labelled 4QMMT, which speaks of the ‘end of days’ (MJF: a doctrine which may originally have had Zoroastrian roots). Similarly, the Sadducees did not share a belief in the existence of angels whereas angels played an important role in Essene thinking. For example, the Qumran Rule made a dualistic distinction between good and evil angels, the latter being led by Belial (the Devil) who seduces human beings to evil in order to bring them under his power. Thus, the so-called War Scroll discovered at Qumran deals with the Holy War in heaven between the good angels led by Michael the Archangel, the prince of the heavenly host, and the evil angels. Finally, the schism between the Zadokite Essenes and the Sadducees was also reflected by the strict attitude of the ‘Teacher of Righteousness’ over the cult of the holiness of the temple. For example, the Damascus Rule laments the pollution of the temple and Josephus stressed the difference and independence of the Essenes over temple sacrifice and ritual cleanness. In contrast to the Sadducees, the Essenes kept away from the common sanctuary and performed their rites of purification and sacrifice independently. This exclusiveness and independence of worship was also reflected in the fact that the Qumran community maintained its own festal calendar based on the solar calendar (which may possibly indicate a connection to the ancient Egyptian priesthood at Heliopolis, the city of the sun and the god Ra, where Abraham/Moses and his Levite priestly brothers may have been based prior to the Exodus) in contrast to the Sadducees and Pharisees who observed a lunar calendar (recalling here that the Hittites had been Moon worshipers).
Whereas the Pharisees taught a twofold Torah which involved the Book of Moses and an oral tradition (the ‘Sayings of the Fathers’), which was revealed, like the written one, on Mount Sinai and had been faithfully handed down to that day, the Essenes of Qumran, like the Sadducees, rejected such an oral tradition.

In summing up, I would quote Benz and Riesner again as regards the Essenes of Qumran in their role as the true Sons of Zadoc or ‘sons of righteousness’:
“They developed the priestly principles of sacred service into the ideal of an ascetic, anchoritic or monastic community and angelic life which was unique in Judaism but represented a preliminary stage to Christian monasticism.”

The Damascus Connection
Q: Okay, what is this P-S related to that appears on the stone slab from the Rennes le Chateau churchyard? Everybody is talking about the "Priory of Sion." But, what does this P-S mean? Is that it?
A: Look into ancient tongues...
Q: Ancient tongues? Get me a little closer to it!
A: Swords, daggers pierce...
Q: Is this P-S something about "Percy?" Swords, daggers, pierce... Damascus? Damascus steel?
A: Search for learning.
Q: What is the meaning of 'The Widow's Son?' The implication?
A: Stalks path of wisdom incarnate.
Q: Why is this described as a Widow's son? This was the appellation of Perceval...
A: Perceval was knighted in the court of seven.
Q: The court of seven what?
A: Swords points signify crystal transmitter of truth beholden.
Q: What is the relationship between Perceval, Paran Sikarios, the Assassini, and Ishmael, the son of Hagar, at the well of the mirror?
A: Spear of Destiny.
Q: Are the Ishmaelis the carriers of the true bloodline, and the line of Isaac and Jacob, the Supplanter, the carriers of the monothiestic covenant, are the false line?
A: Close.
Q: Are the Ishmaelis also the carriers of the knowledge of levitation, the cult of the head or the skull...
A: Try to connect to the Templars.
Q: Did the Templars discover the secrets of the Ishmaelis, the Assassini, and is this what they carried into Europe, and then underground?
A: Buried in Galle.
Q: (L) We have the brother issue to deal with. We have Abraham and his nephew, Lot. Then we have Moses and Aaron, Jacob and Esau, Isaac and Ishmael. Were all of these sets of brothers just different aspects or views on the same stories, a set of singular individuals, whether brothers or not?
A: Pretty much though with added elements from other stories blended in.
Q: (L) Was it a brother/brother relationship as in actual brothers?
A: No. The "brother" relationship was created to legitimize a "false" line of transmission.
Q: (L) So there wasn't a brother, or Aaronic relationship present, assuming any part of that story was true. Is that it?
A: Yes.
A: Yes. The story of the "contending with the angel" was the significant turning point as well as the moment of return.
Q: (L) What was the blessing he gave to quote Esau, if giving the object to the "angel" was the event of returning the ark? What was the story there?
A: Two separate events.
Q: (L) So, he returned the ark to the so-called angel. And then, he gave something to someone else. Previously, when I asked about this, you said that what he gave to Esau was "trampled leaves of wrath, the blue apples incarnate," and remarked that I should inquire into the "core meaning."
A: And who was "Kore?"
Q: (L) Was this Abraham's daughter?
A: It was the last living member of the Perseid family.
Q: (L) Was it a male or female?
A: Female.
Q: (L) And how did Abraham come to be in possession of this female?
A: Search the text and you will see.
Q: (Galahad) If this person was the last member of the Perseid family, does that mean that Paris was a member of this family? [MJF: Paris = Abraham/Moses]
A: No.
The Midianites were mentioned in the transcripts in connection with the Ishmaelies:
Q: Were the Midianites and the Ishmaelies the same?
A: Partly.
Q: Were they the Danaans?
A: No.
“Then Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married (for he had married a Cushite woman).”
Q: The story about the plague that is told in Manetho, was this a plague as in leprosy, a disease, or something else?
A: It was multiple elements including leprosy.
King David
As to King David, the C’s told us that he was a Levite but not of the line of Abraham:
Q: (L) Well, I still have to deal with this King David issue. He was like a Robin Hood. Now, in another direction, what's this deal about Abraham talking to God. Is this where the whole monotheism came in?
A: Close.
Q: (L) So, it started out with Abraham and his tribe. Did he have reinforcements of his Levite brothers who came and joined his tribe from Hittite land? [MJF: Modern day Turkey and Northern Iraq]
A: Close.
Q: (L) Are there any details of this story that I haven't covered that I ought to?
A: David was a Levite.
Q: (L) Was he of the line of Abraham?
A: No.
Q: (L) Did he come from "Hittite land?"
A: Close.
Q: (L) How many generations before he was born did his family come to the area of Palestine?
A: 5.
Q: (L) Were they relatives of Abraham?
A: Somewhat.
Q: (L) Distantly related. So, what did David do? Came along and gathered the people together?
A: Yes.
Special Bloodlines
Q: At the making of the Covenant at Mt. Sinai, there was a bunch of sacrificed animals, and Moses took the blood, dividing it in half, he cast one half on the altar. Taking the book of the covenant, he read it to the people, and they said 'we will observe all that Yahweh has decreed. We will obey.' And then Moses took the blood and cast it on the people saying 'this is the blood of the covenant that Yahweh has made with you containing all these rules.' What is this blood of the covenant?
A: Has to do with bloodline.
Q: So this symbolized the bloodline of the Jews?
A: No.
Q: What bloodline are we talking about here?
A: Aramaic/Aryan.
Q: Are you saying that the Jews are Aramaic/Aryan?
A: No. Jews are not bloodline categorizable, per se.
Q: Then, that makes me think that the significant thing that we are looking for is a convergence of the blood lines... These lines are symbolized by the god figures, the children of Odin, and what we are looking for is a place where these lines converge?
A: Yes.
Q: Well, what characteristics might an individual have who is a product of this convergence?
A: Fair skinned and cleft chin.
Session 19 April 1997:
Q: Am I correct in my assessment that the origin of the Grail stories was the story of the Head of Bran?
A: But what was the "origin" of Brahna? [MJF: Which suggests a link to Abraham – there is even a persuasive theory that the Brahmin caste of India was originally Jewish.]
Q: Well, from the way I am interpreting what I have found, I have two possibilities: One is the Celts from Kantek, and two: a Nephilim hybrid.
A: Could be one and the same.
Q: Well, from what you have said in prior sessions, these bloodlines can be of positive or negative orientation, a duality, and that they lead to super-secret power sources. Is that correct?
A: Well, the duality is existent concommitantly through all bloodlines, but in the so-called Celts, it is more pronounced, therefore, there are more vivid power cells and centres.

Q: Then, that makes me think that the significant thing that we are looking for is a convergence of the blood lines... These lines are symbolized by the god figures, the children of Odin, and what we are looking for is a place where these lines converge?
A: Yes.
Q: Well, what characteristics might an individual have who is a product of this convergence?
A: Fair skinned and cleft chin.
Q: Well, Ark and Frank both have cleft chins, but C___ and I don't! Does this mean...
A: We aren't saying that all with these features are of that blood line!
Q: So, you can have the bloodline and look quite different?
A: Yes.
Q: How many persons on the planet contain these 'convergant' bloodlines?
A: 7367. Kites were used for cross communication between bloodline members.
Q: Kites?! What do kites have to do with it? What the heck... you guys are driving me NUTS! Do you mean kites as in paper and string or kites as in the bird?
A: Yes, paper wood and string.
Q: (C) Like smoke signals? (L) Well, how is flying a kite... (C) Well, if it has a certain symbol on it...
A: And shape.
Q: What shape is that?
A: No, not now.
Q: (C) Well, maybe the shape of a cleft chin? [Laughter] (L) Fair skin, cleft chin... (C) Yeah, and how did they communicate when it was raining? (L) Yeah, and at night? Did they set them on fire? Kites. This is obviously something that... (C) This is implying that such people know they have the bloodline and keep in touch with each other? (L) Or, is this something for the future when those of the bloodline wake up?
A: Yes.
Q: All of the above? Or just the last part?
A: Latter.
“Bless us, divine number, thou who generated gods and men! O holy, holy Tetractys, thou that containest the root and source of the eternally flowing creation! For the divine number begins with the profound, pure unity until it comes to the holy four; then it begets the mother of all, the all-comprising, all-bounding, the first-born, the never-swerving, the never-tiring holy ten, the keyholder of all.”
Q: Okay, I will keep digging. How can I find if there is going to be a connection between the Aryan/Jewish bloodline of Jesus and the Merovingian/Plantagenet bloodline? Does it exist?
A: Only to the extent of the shared origins of the Essenes and the Celts.

The Damascus Connection
Many scholars believe the Essenes may have had several communities occupying different sites in Judea. There are others who believe the Qumran site was unique and the Essenes main or only settlement. Benz and Riesner fall into the former camp and mention other Essene sites associated with Qumran at places like En et-Turabe, En el-Juwer and En Fasha. I don’t know if any of these sites are located near modern-day Haifa where the C’s suggested in the transcripts that an Essene monastic community had been established. The Qumran site itself seems to have been occupied from the second half of the 2nd Century BC up to its destruction in 68 A.D. by the Romans during the Jewish Revolt with a short gap in occupation during the reign of King Herod the Great (37 B.C. – 4 A.D.) who was responsible for redeveloping the Second Temple in Jerusalem. However, we have had references made to the Damascus Document and the Damascus Rule, so was there a connection between the Essenes and the Syrian city of Damascus?
Benz and Riesner point out that scholars have been increasingly assuming, with full justification, that the ‘land of Damascus’ which the Damascus Rule speaks of is not a code for Babylon or Qumran but in fact refers to the ancient city in southern Syria. It seems the Essene community had been in exile in the ‘land of Damascus’ for a while at the beginning of its foundation and after that some of its members evidently remained in the neighbourhood of Damascus. This is an important point for us since if a group of Essenes had remained behind in Damascus, this suggests they may have survived the Roman inspired second Jewish diaspora and continued to have a presence in the vicinity of that city perhaps even after the Arab conquests of Syria (A.D. 634–638). If so, it might explain the following excerpt from the transcripts:

A: Swords, daggers pierce...
Q: Is this P-S something about "Percy?" Swords, daggers, pierce... Damascus? Damascus steel?
A: Search for learning.
The reference to swords here may be an oblique reference to the Knights Templar and daggers may in turn be an oblique reference to the medieval secret order of the Assassins, whose preferred weapon of assassination was the dagger. The Assassins certainly had a presence in Damascus during the era of the Crusades and the name “Damascus” is also associated with a finely made steel from which swords and daggers were fashioned (see: Damascus steel - Wikipedia). Although, as I have explained in an earlier article, the Assassins looked to the Fatimid Ismaili teachers at the university mosque of Al Azharin in Cairo for their philosophy and doctrines as a secret religious order, they may have had a much older pedigree and could originally have been founded by surviving Jewish Sicarii (“dagger men”) who may have sought refuge in Syria with their Essene kinsmen after the Roman victories in the Roman-Jewish Wars of the 1st and 2nd Centuries A.D., eventually converting to Islam for reasons of self-preservation. Consider how many Jewish families in Spain remained secret Jews even after outwardly converting to Catholicism during the 16th Century. The Ismailis had become an identifiable sect in the 9th century A.D. based primarily in Syria. In 969 A.D., a Fatimid army conquered Egypt, which now became the centre of a kingdom stretching the length of the north African coast. A new capital city was founded called Al Kahira ('the victorious'), now known in its western form as Cairo, which became the capital of an empire which would at its height include Sicily, the western part of the Arabian Peninsula (with the holy places of Mecca and Medina) and the Mediterranean coast up to Syria.
In 970 A.D., the Fatimids established in Cairo the university mosque of Al Azhar which has remained ever since a centre of Islamic learning. However, the authority of the Fatimid Ismaili caliphs would crumble in the 12th century A.D., when Saladin, the famous Saracen commander, subsequently became leader of the Islamic world deposing the last of the Fatimid line. The collapse of the Fatimid caliphate did not mean the end of the political influence of the Ismailis though. There had been a dispute in 1094 A.D. over who should be caliph. The Fatimids in Egypt selected one of two brothers. However, the Ismailis in Persia and Syria preferred the other brother, by the name of Nizar. The followers of Nizar became the Nizari who, from the late 11th century A.D., began seizing territory in northern Persia. They made a religious virtue of terrorism and murder in pursuit of their ends. It is this group who became the feared Assassins of the medieval Middle East.
The split between what today we refer to as Sunni Muslims and Shia Muslims began with the question of the line of imams in succession to Muhammad. However, the Ismaili sect also broke away from the main body of Shi’as (the 'party of Ali') for the same reason. The dispute between the Shi'as and Ismailis in the later years of the 8th century concerned the seventh imam. The Shi'as gave this position to Musa whereas the Ismailis supported his elder brother, Ismail (a derivative of the name Ishmael). Thus, the Ismailis are today known as the 'Seveners' because they follow the seventh imam, Ismail.
This begs the question whether the C’s in the except from the transcripts set out below were referring to the Ishmaelis (i.e., the descendants of Ishmael the son of Hagar and Abraham) or the Ismailis, the members of the Shia sect described above who counted among their number the Assassins. I have previously suggested that a young Ishmael fled with his mother Hagar/Meritaten to the British Isles, as depicted in the Greek myth of Helle and Phrixus and their flight on the Golden Ram, which would therefore take Ishmael well away from the Middle East and undermine his mythical role as progenitor of the Arab race.

Q: Did the Templars discover the secrets of the Ishmaelis, the Assassini, and is this what they carried into Europe, and then underground?
A: Buried in Galle.
In my view, the connection between the Ismailis and the Templars is much easier to establish than that between the Ishmaelis and the Templars by virtue of the contacts that clearly took place during the Crusades between the Templars and the Assassins (who were Ismailis). Although on the surface they would seem to have been natural enemies, in practice they often appeared to act as close allies. As secret orders, they no doubt shared esoteric information with each other as well. If, as I have argued above, the Assassins’ roots in Syria lay with surviving members of the Jewish Sicarii and the Essenes, then these medieval Essenes now disguised as Assassins, as descendants themselves of Levitical priests, may have recognised in the Rex Deus descended Knights Templar fellow Levites (Cohanim). This is pure conjecture on my part, but it would explain much about the Templar’s strange, non-Christian rites and their overt friendliness towards the Assassins, who on paper should have been their deadly religious enemies.
Mandaeism and the Nasoraeans (Nazarenes)
In my earlier articles on the Knights Templar, I touched upon the theory that their high regard for, and veneration of, John the Baptist may have stemmed from the links they made with the Mandaeans or Nazarenes (an early Jewish-Christian sect) in the Middle East. However, there are those who argue that the Mandaeans/Nazarenes were originally Essenes. Quoting from Wikipedia:
The Haran Gawaita uses the name Nasoraeans for the Mandaeans arriving from Jerusalem meaning guardians or possessors of secret rites and knowledge. Scholars such as Kurt Rudolph, Rudolf Macúch, Mark Lidzbarski and Ethel S. Drower connect the Mandaeans with the Nasaraeans described by Epiphanius, a group within the Essenes according to Joseph Lightfoot. Epiphanius says (29:6) that they existed before Jesus. That is questioned by some, but others accept the pre-Christian origin of the Nasaraeans.
Early religious concepts and terminologies recur in the Dead Sea Scrolls, and Yardena (Jordan) has been the name of every baptismal water in Mandaeism. One of the names for the Mandaean God Hayyi Rabbi, Mara d-Rabuta (Lord of Greatness) is found in the Genesis Apocryphon II, 4. Another early self-appellation is bhiri zidqa meaning 'elect of righteousness' or 'the chosen righteous', a term found in the Book of Enoch and Genesis Apocryphon II, 4. As Nasoraeans, Mandaeans believe that they constitute the true congregation of bnai nhura meaning 'Sons of Light', a term used by the Essenes. Mandaean scripture affirms that the Mandaeans descend directly from John the Baptist’s original Nasoraean Mandaean disciples in Jerusalem. Similar to the Essenes, it was forbidden for a Mandaean to reveal the names of the angels to a gentile. Essene graves are oriented north–south and a Mandaean's grave must also be in the north–south direction so that if the dead Mandaean were stood upright, they would face north. Mandaeans have an oral tradition that some were originally vegetarian and also similar to the Essenes, they were pacifists (MJF: as, of course, were the original Levites).
The beit manda (beth manda) is described as biniana rab ḏ-srara ("the Great building of Truth") and bit tušlima ("house of Perfection") in Mandaean texts such as the Qolasta, Ginza Rabba, and the Mandaean Book of John. The only known literary parallels are in Essene texts from Qumran such as the Community Rule, which has similar phrases such as the "house of Perfection and Truth in Israel" (Community Rule 1QS VIII 9) and "house of Truth in Israel."
So, did some of the Essenes, descended from the Levites, morph into the Mandaeans or Nazarenes, who would later affect the Knights Templar in their beliefs? However, there may also be a putative link between the Assassins and the Mandaeans.
The Haran Gawaita (“Inner Harran" or "Inner Hauran") also known as the Scroll of Great Revelation, is a Mandaean text which recounts the history of the Mandaeans and their arrival in Media as Nasoraeans from Jerusalem. For those with good memories, you may recall that the ancient city of Harran was the home of the mysterious Sabian star gazers and was the city named in the Bible from which Abraham set off to go to Egypt. Media is a region of north-western Iran today and is best known for having been the political and cultural base of the Medes. Curiously, the a Mandaeans/Nazareans are also known as Mandaean Sabians or simply Sabians. Did they simply assume the name Sabians or could this group have had a more ancient connection to the mysterious Sabians of old (who strangely had a colony based at Giza), who seem to have no origin story?
According to the Haran Gawaita, John the Baptist was baptized, initiated, and educated by the patron of the Nasirutha (secret knowledge), Enosh (Anush or Anush-ʼuthra), the hierophant of the sect. This research was conducted by the Oxford scholar and specialist on the Nasoraeans, Lady Ethel S. Drower. According to Jorunn J. Buckley, the Mandaeans see themselves to be former Judeans based in Jerusalem that loved Adonai until the birth of Jesus.: These Nasoraean disciples of John the Baptist were aware of the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple in 70 AD, but they did not leave because of this. They fled before 70 A.D. due to persecution by a faction of more normative or Orthodox Jews. With the help of the Parthian King Artabanus II (Ardban II; previously known as Ardban III), who ruled from 11-38 A.D., the Mandaeans settled in the Median Hills (Mandaic: Ṭura ḏ-Madaii ), and later moved to southern Babylonia (today’s Iraq).
You will note that the Mandaeans/Nazarenes/Sabians settled in Media or today’s northern Iran, where the Nizari, better known today as the Assassins, from the late 11th century A.D. onwards, began seizing territory in northern Persia. Is this just a coincidence or did the Assassins roots really lie with the Jewish Essenes and the Sicarii dagger men?

As to the appellation the “Widow's son” mentioned above, this title has a mysterious significance for the Freemasons, who may well be the latter-day successors of the Knights Templar.
Freemasons learn of Hiram Abiff, “The Widow’s Son”, in their induction into Freemasonry. However, they appreciate that there are others who are also referred to as “The Widow’s Son”. It seems this is a title to which more than one can be named. Curiously, one school of Masonic thought believes that the use of the title can actually be traced back to the Grail lore traditions which speak of a descended blood line and specifically reference the biblical character of Ruth.
In the Bible, Ruth was a woman of the Moabite tribe who was married to Boaz. The Moabites were a Semitic people who lived east of the Jordan River in the geographical area known as Moab, which is located today in modern day Jordan and Israel. In the Bible, the Moabites are said to have descended from Lot, the nephew of Abraham, by his eldest daughter, which would make them the Semitic kinsmen of the Abrahamic Hebrews/Levites or Israelites. Ruth became one of the great heroines of the Old Testament.
However, she is also meant to be the Great Grandmother of King David. All the descendants of Ruth were known simply by the title “Sons of the Widow”. A genealogy can be traced within the Bible since Ruth gives birth to the first “Son of the Widow”, Obed, who grows up and bears his son Jesse, who bears his son David, the first King of Israel who in the Bible begats Solomon and Nathan etc. But nowhere in the lineage mentioned in the Bible does it refer anywhere to Hiram Abiff. Knowing this, it seems the trail grows cold for Freemasons in the search for Hiram Abiff’s title of “The Widow’s Son”. It is curious though that the title “The Widow’s Son” is also borne by Perceval the eponymous hero of many of the Grail tales. The Grail legends were written in a way that lends itself to allegory and therefore, the story cannot be just assumed to mean that Hiram was literally just a son of a woman who lost her husband. These legends early on establish this title and what it means, which is a descendant of Ruth or more aptly a descendant of Boaz (who shares the name of one of the twin pillars of the Temple, as used in Masonic rituals). Determining that the term “Widow’s Son,” a flip flop of the term “Sons of the Widow” was not actually meant to refer to a man whose father had passed on, but rather the epithet given to the offspring and lineage of Ruth, heroine of “The Book of Ruth” presented in the Old Testament. I would go one step further here and query whether the title “Sons of the Widow” is, in reality, a euphemism for the “Children of the Grail”, since the Levites, for example, who we have now learned were a special bloodline, were at one stage the custodians of both the Ark of the Covenant and the Grail. Are we looking therefore at a special Grail bloodline here?
So, again we encounter a special bloodline, this time one descended from the Moabite Ruth (a non-Jewish heroine of the Bible). Did Ruth really exist or is she just a fictitious character created to convey a hidden truth rather like the figure of Rachel, the biblical mother of Jacob, who the C’s have said was really Nefertiti/Sarah? Is it significant here that Ruth is supposed to have been the great grandmother of King David, an historic character who certainly did exist? King David in the Bible is supposed to have been descended from the line of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, which the C’s have suggested is a false line of transmission:

Is it significant here that Ruth is supposed to have been the great grandmother of King David, an historic character who certainly did exist? King David in the Bible is supposed to have been descended from the line of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, which the C’s have suggested is a false line of transmission:
Q: (L) We have the brother issue to deal with. We have Abraham and his nephew, Lot. Then we have Moses and Aaron, Jacob and Esau, Isaac and Ishmael. Were all of these sets of brothers just different aspects or views on the same stories, a set of singular individuals, whether brothers or not?
A: Pretty much though with added elements from other stories blended in.
Q: (L) Was it a brother/brother relationship as in actual brothers?
A: No. The "brother" relationship was created to legitimize a "false" line of transmission.
Q: (L) So there wasn't a brother, or Aaronic relationship present, assuming any part of that story was true. Is that it?
A: Yes.
In the same session, the C's then mentioned another bloodline, which ran through the Perseid family, who were named after the mythical hero Perseus who slew the Gorgon Medusa (in my view a cypher for the Grail):
Q: (Galahad) So, the Ark was an object created by STS. Did this amount to some sort of realization on Moses' part? Did he start to wake up?
A: Yes. The story of the "contending with the angel" was the significant turning point as well as the moment of return.
Q: (L) What was the blessing he gave to quote Esau, if giving the object to the "angel" was the event of returning the ark? What was the story there?
A: Two separate events.
Q: (L) So, he returned the ark to the so-called angel. And then, he gave something to someone else. Previously, when I asked about this, you said that what he gave to Esau was "trampled leaves of wrath, the blue apples incarnate," and remarked that I should inquire into the "core meaning."
A: And who was "Kore?"
Q: (L) Was this Abraham's daughter?
A: It was the last living member of the Perseid family.
Q: (L) Was it a male or female?
A: Female.
Q: (L) And how did Abraham come to be in possession of this female?
A: Search the text and you will see.
Q: (Galahad) If this person was the last member of the Perseid family, does that mean that Paris was a member of this family? [MJF: Paris = Abraham/Moses]
A: No.
As I have argued elsewhere, if Princess Meritaten was the Egyptian maid servant Hagar of the Bible and thus also Kore, we know that she was also the mother of Ishmael, Abraham/Moses’s son, who was in turn the son of a widow, given that Meritaten’s husband Smenkhare had died by the time she fled into the desert and joined Abraham/Moses and her mother Nefertiti/Sarah. It is my view that Meritaten, as a Perseid, had a close relationship to the Grail that had been possessed by her father Akhenaten until it was stolen from him by her mother Nefertiti. She may even have even been one of its guardians as a temple priestess (hence her bald pate as depicted in surviving busts of her). Although the C’s say that she was at one stage the last living member of the Perseid family, with the birth of Ishmael this ceased to be the case. If the Perseid family were a special Grail bloodline (the “blue apples incarnate”), then Ishmael was destined to continue it. Where the C’s are saying that Abraham and Aaron’s line were a “false line of transmission” does this mean then that the true line of succession was that through Ishmael? If so, we must query where that line of succession (branch) took root. Was it in the Middle East with the Ishmaelies or was it in the British Isles where Meritaten appears to have taken refuge, assuming she was the mythic figure of Helle who fled to safety with her brother Phrixus on the Golden Ram (MJF: another cypher for the Grail perhaps?) across the Hellespont (the English Channel or La Manche)?
The Midianites
If we stay with the Middle East proposal, some corroboration for this hypothesis can be found in the Middle Eastern people known as the Midianites. Some scholars have suggested that the name "Midian" does not refer to geographic places or to a specific tribe, but to a confederation or "league" of tribes brought together as a collective for worship purposes (MJF: the same might well be true of the Hebrews or Israelites since the C’s once said in response to a question about their origins: “No. Hebrews do not stem from [a] single grouping”).
The Midianites were mentioned in the transcripts in connection with the Ishmaelies:
Q: Were the Midianites and the Ishmaelies the same?
A: Partly.
Q: Were they the Danaans?
A: No.
The biblical Midian was supposedly in the northwest Arabian Peninsula on the east shore of the Gulf of Aqaba on the Red Sea. According to the Book of Genesis, the Midianites were the descendants of Midian, a son of Abraham and his wife Keturah: "Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah. And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah". Given that the C’s have confirmed that Abraham and Moses were one and the same person, it is far more likely that Keturah was Kore alias Hagar/Meritaten who Abraham took as a concubine. The Bible makes us aware that this coupling produced only one child and that child was Ishmael, Hagar and Ishmael later being banished to the desert of Paran by Abraham as a result of Sarah’s jealousy. However, the figures of Hagar and Ishmael may also find an echo in Exodus 2 where, after Moses had run away to Midian from Egypt after killing an Egyptian overseer, he married Reuel's daughter Zipporah, a Midianite. Just to confuse things further, he was also supposed to have married a Cushite woman, a union which displeased Aaron and Moses’s sister Miriam (MJF: both fictitious characters according to the C’s) where according to Numbers 12 they complained to Moses about her:
“Then Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married (for he had married a Cushite woman).”
For speaking against the Cushite woman God apparently punished Miriam with tzaraath, which is often glossed as being leprosy. We know that the plague which swept Egypt and most of the Middle East at the end of the reign of Akhenaten involved a form of leprosy:
Q: The story about the plague that is told in Manetho, was this a plague as in leprosy, a disease, or something else?
A: It was multiple elements including leprosy.
Hence, this element of the story certainly has a ring of truth about it. Interestingly, the Jewish historian Josephus named this Cushite woman as Tharbis, saying that she was a Cushite princess whom Moses had married after a successful military campaign against the Ethiopians whilst he was still a prince of Egypt and a military commander. Cush in the Bible is linked with the Sudan and Ethiopia region clearly making the woman an African. It could be that Zipporah and the woman from Ethiopia are in fact one and the same person and that person is Princess Meritaten, who through her father did seem to have more of a darker African appearance than her non-Egyptian mother Nefertiti.
Further evidence that Zipporah may be Hagar/Kore/Keturah/Meritaten can be found in the Bible where it provides that after Moses succeeded in leading the Israelites out of Egypt, and winning a battle against Amalek, Reuel (Moses’s father-in-law aka Jethro a prince of Midian) came to the Hebrew camp in the wilderness of Sinai, bringing with him Zipporah and their two sons, Gershom and Eliezer. The Bible does not say when Zipporah and her sons rejoined Reuel/Jethro, only that after he heard of what God did for the Israelites, he brought Moses' family to him. The most common translation though is that Moses sent her away. If this interpretation is correct, this may be a reflection of the fact that Moses in his Abraham persona exiled Hagar (Zipporah) with her son Ishmael in the desert of Paran at the behest of Sarah/Nefertiti. Moreover, Abraham did, of course, have two sons, the second being Isaac by his wife Sarah/Nefertiti.
Could the story of Zipporah being brought to Moses’s camp in Sinai also reflect the fact that Meritaten only joined Moses after the demise of her husband the Pharoah Smenkhare, whereafter her younger brother Tutankhamun succeeded to the throne, which coincided with the Egyptian priesthood reasserting the worship of the old gods of Egypt in opposition to the monotheistic worship of the Aten, which had been imposed on Egypt by her late father Pharoah Akhenaten?
However, if Keturah is also Hagar/Meritaten, then this connects Ishmael directly to Abraham’s son Midian and thus to the Midianites who the C’s said were in part the same as the Ishmaelies. It is, of course, from Arabia (Midian) that Islam would emerge in the late 6th century and where the long-held tradition that Ishmael was the father of the Arabian race is to be found.

King David
As to King David, the C’s told us that he was a Levite but not of the line of Abraham:
Q: (L) Well, I still have to deal with this King David issue. He was like a Robin Hood. Now, in another direction, what's this deal about Abraham talking to God. Is this where the whole monotheism came in?
A: Close.
Q: (L) So, it started out with Abraham and his tribe. Did he have reinforcements of his Levite brothers who came and joined his tribe from Hittite land? [MJF: Modern day Turkey and Northern Iraq]
A: Close.
Q: (L) Are there any details of this story that I haven't covered that I ought to?
A: David was a Levite.
Q: (L) Was he of the line of Abraham?
A: No.
Q: (L) Did he come from "Hittite land?"
A: Close.
Q: (L) How many generations before he was born did his family come to the area of Palestine?
A: 5.
Q: (L) Were they relatives of Abraham?
A: Somewhat.
Q: (L) Distantly related. So, what did David do? Came along and gathered the people together?
A: Yes.
If we take a generation to be 25-30 years, then we could be speaking of 100-150 years between David’s birth and the original entry of his family into Palestine. Although David was a Levite, if his great grandmother really was a Moabite, this suggests that there was already extensive intermarriage between the biblical Hebrews and the other Semitic tribal groupings within Palestine such as the Moabites, whose progeniture was supposedly Abraham’s nephew Lot according to the Bible. David would seem to have united these various Semitic tribal groups into one people we know today as the Israelites, becoming their king and making Jerusalem the capital of Israel. We do not know the actual date of David’s birth, although many place it as being around 1000 BC. It could, of course, have been much earlier. We know from the Bible that Abraham/Moses and his Levite followers spent around 40 years wandering in the desert (as confirmed by the C’s) after the Exodus from Akhenaten’s Egypt before entering Palestine, then known as the Land of Cannan. This suggests that David’s Levite forefathers may have entered Canaan nearly 200 years before he was born. Alternatively, David’s Levite ancestors may have journeyed westwards from Turkey/Iraq to join up with their Levite kinsmen who were already in Canaan, much of which had by that time been conquered by the Children of Israel under the leadership of Moses’s successor Joshua.
Special Bloodlines
At the start of this thread, Laura suggested that I should look closely into bloodlines. Well, I have identified in this article that the Hittite/Levite bloodline that Abraham/Moses was a member of was a special, if not unique, bloodline that has continued through to the present day in the Cohanim Levitical bloodline that all Jewish High Priests have descended from since the commencement of the Mosaic covenant. However, from what the C’s have said, this was not so much a Jewish or Hebrew bloodline but an Aryan one instead:
Q: At the making of the Covenant at Mt. Sinai, there was a bunch of sacrificed animals, and Moses took the blood, dividing it in half, he cast one half on the altar. Taking the book of the covenant, he read it to the people, and they said 'we will observe all that Yahweh has decreed. We will obey.' And then Moses took the blood and cast it on the people saying 'this is the blood of the covenant that Yahweh has made with you containing all these rules.' What is this blood of the covenant?
A: Has to do with bloodline.
Q: So this symbolized the bloodline of the Jews?
A: No.
Q: What bloodline are we talking about here?
A: Aramaic/Aryan.
Q: Are you saying that the Jews are Aramaic/Aryan?
A: No. Jews are not bloodline categorizable, per se.
This means that Isaac, Abraham’s son by Nefertiti/Sarah (who was herself a Hittite/Levite according to the C’s), was also a member of this same bloodline. However, the C’s have confirmed that Abraham/Moses really did have a son Ishmael by Hagar. I have speculated above that the Perseid bloodline may be connected to a special Grail bloodline to which he would have belonged, which in turn may be distantly connected with that group of Kantekkians who the C’s said used the Grail to escape from the planet Kantek before it was destroyed. The fact that Ishmael was of the Perseid bloodline through his mother Meritaten but also of the Hittite/Levite bloodline through his father Abraham and his grandmother Nefertiti (who may both have been Nephilim hybrids) suggests that Ishmael may have been the convergence point the C’s were speaking of in the transcript excerpt set out immediately below:
Q: Then, that makes me think that the significant thing that we are looking for is a convergence of the blood lines... These lines are symbolized by the god figures, the children of Odin, and what we are looking for is a place where these lines converge?
A: Yes.
Q: Well, what characteristics might an individual have who is a product of this convergence?
A: Fair skinned and cleft chin.
The children of Odin (like the children of his Greek equivalent Zeus) would no doubt have been alien/human hybrids. The reference to “fair skinned” seemingly connects us with the Celts, since they are just about the fairest skinned people on the planet (leaving aside albinos). Indeed, I am one myself and, yes, I am fair skinned and do have a cleft chin too, but then so do lots of people. If this is the case, it may connect us with what the C’s said here:
Session 19 April 1997:
Q: Am I correct in my assessment that the origin of the Grail stories was the story of the Head of Bran?
A: But what was the "origin" of Brahna? [MJF: Which suggests a link to Abraham – there is even a persuasive theory that the Brahmin caste of India was originally Jewish.]
Q: Well, from the way I am interpreting what I have found, I have two possibilities: One is the Celts from Kantek, and two: a Nephilim hybrid.
A: Could be one and the same.
Q: Well, from what you have said in prior sessions, these bloodlines can be of positive or negative orientation, a duality, and that they lead to super-secret power sources. Is that correct?
A: Well, the duality is existent concommitantly through all bloodlines, but in the so-called Celts, it is more pronounced, therefore, there are more vivid power cells and centres.
If I am correct about Ishmael being the convergence point that we are seeking, we need to ask again where did Ishmael finally end up? Was it the Middle East as suggested by the Bible and Islamic tradition or was it the British Isles, as suggested by the Greek myth of Helle and Phrixus? I favour the latter, which leads me to wonder how Ishmael’s bloodline was subsequently dispersed since the C’s have confirmed that the Percy family, a major Norman noble family from whom Laura is descended, are members of this convergent bloodline and the Normans supposedly originated in Norway/Denmark before moving to France, where they mixed with the Merovingian nobility, and finally on to England via the Norman conquest of 1066. The Percy surname apparently derives from the Manor of Percy-en-Auge in Normandy, the home of the Percy family at the time of the Norman Conquest.
The Percys and the Grail
For me, the name “Percy” is very interesting since it may well have a distant etymological link with the name “Perseid”, which itself is derived from the name of the legendary founder of the Perseid dynasty, the hero Perseus, who in slaying the Gorgon Medusa and cutting off her head would seem to have come into possession of the Grail, for which the Medusa is, I believe, a metaphor. Is there potentially a link between the Medusa’s head, the legendary Head of Bran and the crystal skull the Templars called Baphomet? We know that Pharoah Akhenaten was both a Perseid and the possessor of the Grail, which Nefertiti and Abraham stole from him. Presumably, the Grail had been passed down through the Perseid line over many generations until it finally ended up with Akhenaten.
It is also interesting to note, as I have mentioned before, that the Percys used the symbol of a gold diamond as their family emblem long before the advent of medieval heraldry and the use of heraldic devices and coats of arms by the aristocracy became commonplace. But why choose a diamond emblem?

The Arms of Percy ancient: Azure, five fusils conjoined in fesse or
Can this use of a diamond emblem in the Percy coat of arms be linked in some way with the diamond suit in a modern pack of playing cards, which we know (see my earlier posts) has a connection with the four treasures of the Tuatha de Danaan as does the Tarot Deck? Could the diamond device be linked in some mysterious way with the Grail?
Moreover, the two-dimensional representation of a diamond, as shown above, is also uncannily reminiscent of the basic kite shape, which the C’s discussed with Laura in the session dated 20 June 1998:

Q: Then, that makes me think that the significant thing that we are looking for is a convergence of the blood lines... These lines are symbolized by the god figures, the children of Odin, and what we are looking for is a place where these lines converge?
A: Yes.
Q: Well, what characteristics might an individual have who is a product of this convergence?
A: Fair skinned and cleft chin.
Q: Well, Ark and Frank both have cleft chins, but C___ and I don't! Does this mean...
A: We aren't saying that all with these features are of that blood line!
Q: So, you can have the bloodline and look quite different?
A: Yes.
Q: How many persons on the planet contain these 'convergant' bloodlines?
A: 7367. Kites were used for cross communication between bloodline members.
Q: Kites?! What do kites have to do with it? What the heck... you guys are driving me NUTS! Do you mean kites as in paper and string or kites as in the bird?
A: Yes, paper wood and string.
Q: (C) Like smoke signals? (L) Well, how is flying a kite... (C) Well, if it has a certain symbol on it...
A: And shape.
Q: What shape is that?
A: No, not now.
Q: (C) Well, maybe the shape of a cleft chin? [Laughter] (L) Fair skin, cleft chin... (C) Yeah, and how did they communicate when it was raining? (L) Yeah, and at night? Did they set them on fire? Kites. This is obviously something that... (C) This is implying that such people know they have the bloodline and keep in touch with each other? (L) Or, is this something for the future when those of the bloodline wake up?
A: Yes.
Q: All of the above? Or just the last part?
A: Latter.
Curiously, in this same session there were also references to the Nephilim, Baphomet and the secrets of the Knights Templar being hidden in caves. Given that the diamond card suit may be linked with the treasures of the Tuatha de Danaan, and by extension specifically to the Grail, which had originally been in the possession of Pharaoh Akhenaten (a member of the Perseid/ Grail family before Abraham/Moses got his hands on it by nefarious means, and my belief that the pure crystal skull the Knights Templar called Baphomet is also the Grail, then it makes sense to me that the members of the convergent bloodlines would use diamond shaped kites to communicate with each other as a kind of bloodline calling card. Afterall, diamonds are crystals (hard carbon) just like quartz, the crystalline substance from which most, if not all, of the well-known crystal skulls such as the Mitchell-Hedges Skull are formed.
Finally, the diamond shape also represents a double tetrahedron (i.e., two identical pyramids with their bases joined) expressed in two-dimensions with all that the tetrahedron as a Platonic solid conveys in terms of ancient esoteric symbolism. Indeed, the tetrahedron in its two-dimensional form of the tetractys was sacred as a mystical symbol both to the Druids and the Greeks, symbolising for the latter the four classical elements of air, fire, water and earth. A prayer of the Pythagoreans shows the great importance of the Tetractys (the "Mystic Tetrad"), as the prayer was actually addressed to it:

“Bless us, divine number, thou who generated gods and men! O holy, holy Tetractys, thou that containest the root and source of the eternally flowing creation! For the divine number begins with the profound, pure unity until it comes to the holy four; then it begets the mother of all, the all-comprising, all-bounding, the first-born, the never-swerving, the never-tiring holy ten, the keyholder of all.”
It is interesting that we should find a reference in this prayer to keys via the term “keyholder” given that the C’s had said to Laura that if she visited Alnwick Castle (the main seat of the Percy family in England) she should not ask for the key in response to her remarks about the alleged 62 alchemical texts held at the castle.
The tetractys also leads us back to cards and alchemy again since in a Tarot reading the various positions of the tetractys provide a representation for forecasting future events by signifying according to various occult disciplines, such as Alchemy.
Moreover, a double triangle when interlinked creates the familiar Star of David, a device which also possessed a deep esoteric meaning long before the Zionist movement adopted it in modern times.
I would thus ask whether this is all mere coincidence or was the diamond device deliberately chosen and displayed by the Percys in order to make a statement to those in the know concerning the family’s status as members perhaps of a special Grail bloodline?

In the age of Princess Meritaten, Britain was still dominated by the Brythonic Celts - the Goidelic Celts or Gaels would not arrive in Ireland until nearly a thousand years later. Here we must also consider the connection between Princess Meritaten and the group the C’s described as the ‘Dragon Slayers’*, who I think are the Tuatha de Danaan of Irish folklore, who may also have been the Israelite tribe known in the Bible as the Tribe of Dan or the Danites, who in turn might be linked to Homer’s Danaans ("the tribe of Danaus" - Danaus being a mythical king of Libya), who are described in the Iliad as the opponents of the Trojans. According to the author Iman Wilkens, the Danaans and the Trojans were in fact Celtic tribes and thus were Aryans who somehow ended up in the Middle East. Did they subsequently become the Danites and Hittites/Levites respectively post the Trojan War? If so, were the Levites originally a Trojan priesthood connected to the Grail in some way, which I suggest formed the real objective of the Trojan War rather than the rescue of the mythical Helen of Troy? If that is the case, it may explain why Nefertiti/Sarah and Abraham/Moses (both of whom were Hittites according to the C’s) wanted the Grail back in Trojan/Hittite possession after it had ended up in the hands of the Perseids (as depicted in the legend of Perseus – the mythical founder of the Perseid dynasty who slew the Gorgon Medusa) with the help of the Danaans/Danites and their fellow Achaeans. To their minds, the Grail would have rightly belonged to the Trojans. This makes me wonder aloud whether Nefertiti’s mission as an undergrounder was to embed herself within the Egyptian royal family and then use her royal position as a means to seize possession of the Grail, which we know is what happened in her Biblical guise as Rachel?
*The term “dragon slayers” may not relate, as one might think, to people who battle physical dragons (think here of the Alpha Draconians or Lizzies for example) as depicted historically by figures such as the Christian St. George and St Michael the Archangel who battled the dragon Lucifer during the War in Heaven, but instead to people who were skilled in bringing under control the powerful “dragon” energies found at key sites lying along the routes of ley lines, which the Chinese refer to, perhaps more accurately, as “dragon” lines. It may be the case that the Tuatha de Danaan had within their ranks people skilled in controlling such energies so they might be used for beneficial purposes.
It may also be highly relevant here, as mentioned above, that the C’s revealed in the session dated 19 April 1997 how the Essenes had shared a common origin with the Aryan Celts:

Q: Okay, I will keep digging. How can I find if there is going to be a connection between the Aryan/Jewish bloodline of Jesus and the Merovingian/Plantagenet bloodline? Does it exist?
A: Only to the extent of the shared origins of the Essenes and the Celts.
The Plantagenet line, which ruled medieval England, was, of course, originally a Norman French bloodline. This last transcript excerpt leads us full circle back to the Jewish Essenes and Egypt once more, bearing in mind that the C’s have told us that the Essenes were an ancient order that had arisen out of ancient Egypt from the secret knowledge stored at the base of the Sphinx. As I said earlier, where the Essenes are concerned, all roads lead back to Egypt, which is also the alleged home of western Hermetic esotericism.
The Egyptian Connection
Having looked at Levitical bloodlines and the history, philosophy and theology of the Qumran Essenes I would like now to explore in more detail the potential links the Qumran Essenes may have had with ancient Egypt.
I would start by looking at the claims of Qumran researcher John Marco Allegro (1923-1988) as discussed by Joseph Farrell in his book Thrice Great Hermetica and the Janus Age. Allegro was one of the seven original members of an international team of scholars under the leadership of Old Testament scholar and archaeologist Father Roland de Vaux (a Catholic Jesuit priest) who were tasked with research into, and publication of, the Dead Sea Scrolls. Englishman John Allegro was the odd one out in this team as he was the only atheist amongst them. He also proved to be a maverick when he broke ranks with his Jerusalem based team of editors. It was on Allegro's recommendation in 1955 that the Copper Scroll was sent by the Jordanian government to Manchester University in order for it to be cut into sections, thus allowing the text to be read. He was present during the cutting process in 1956 and later made a preliminary transcription of the text, which he soon translated, sending copies of his work back to Gerald Lankester Harding in Jordan. Harding, a British archaeologist, was the Director of the Jordanian Department of Antiquities from 1936 to 1956. Although Allegro had been the first to translate the Copper Scroll, the text was assigned for editing to J.T. Milik by Roland de Vaux, the editor in chief of the Scrolls. However, without prior approval from de Vaux, Allegro proceeded to publish the unauthorised text of the Copper Scroll in his book, The Treasure of the Copper Scroll, which was released in 1960 two years before the publication of the official edition. Allegro subsequently organised an archaeological campaign, which was both unauthorised and unscientific, to find the treasure listed in the Copper Scroll. The treasure hunt proved singularly unsuccessful.
Despite all this, Joseph Farrell points out that it was Allegro who first pointed out a connection between the Qumran Essenes and Egypt. As the Qumran caves were being investigated several ancient jars of pottery were discovered. However, the pottery was of a kind that was not found anywhere else in Palestine/Judea at that time. The puzzle was solved when archaeologists discovered in the ruins of the Qumran settlement a pottery kiln, which revealed as in so many other things that the Qumran Essenes tried to be as independent of the outside world as possible. Intriguingly, the Qumran Essenes chose to work with Egyptian patterns, which they adapted to their own use. Moreover, this was not the only instance of an Egyptian influence at Qumran since they also made their scroll covers to an Egyptian pattern. Having referred to the use of Egyptian style pottery and scroll covers, Farrell then asked the question whether the Hermetic-Egyptian connection can be tightened still further. To answer his question, Farrell cites the work again of the engineer Robert Feather who delved into a reconstruction of the origins of the Copper Scroll.
We have already looked at Feather's discoveries and conclusions regarding the peculiar genealogy of the Jewish priesthood (see above). Now we will take a look at Feather’s research into one of the most pressing mysteries surrounding the Copper Scroll and that is the enormous amounts of gold and other precious items mentioned in the Scroll, which appear to be impossibly large.

We have already looked at Feather's discoveries and conclusions regarding the peculiar genealogy of the Jewish priesthood (see above). Now we will take a look at Feather’s research into one of the most pressing mysteries surrounding the Copper Scroll and that is the enormous amounts of gold and other precious items mentioned in the Scroll, which appear to be impossibly large.
As Feather observed:
"many scholars have pointed out that there is no indication within the Copper Scroll itself of who wrote it, where it was written, or even why it was written. Academics have assumed that the Scroll refers to the treasure of the Temple in Jerusalem that had been secreted away prior to the Roman invasion of Palestine. There are in fact five basic theories concerning the Copper Scroll and the treasure referred to within it:
- It was hidden by the Qumran Essenes and came from the Second Temple in Jerusalem just prior to its destruction by the Romans in 70 A.D.
- It was hidden by the predecessors of the Qumran Essenes and came from the First Temple in Jerusalem at the time of its destruction by the Babylonians under Nebuchadnezzar.
- It was hidden by the Qumran Essenes before 68AD and belonged to them.
- It was not real, and the Scroll was a hoax perpetrated by the Qumran Essenes.
- The treasure was from the Second Temple but was hidden by priests or others coming out of Jerusalem and the Qumran Essenes did not write the Dead Sea Scrolls."
But as Farrell points out, there are significant problems with each of these theories, as recognised by Feather. Feather made the following observations on each of the theories in turn:
- The testimony of the Jewish historian Josephus on the antipathy between the Qumran Essenes and the Sadducee Priesthood in Jerusalem conflicts with this possibility. The Qumran Essenes viewed the Priests of the Temple as contemptible, hence it is extremely unlikely that the Priests would have entrusted the Qumran Essenes with any treasure as the relationship between the two groups was so toxic.
- The intervening period is far too long as the Qumran Essenes would not be established at Qumran for another 400 years after the Babylonian siege of Jerusalem.
- An impoverished community like the Qumran Essenes would not have been able to acquire such priceless treasure.
- Engraving on copper was an expensive and difficult business and it is evident the Scroll was intended to have some permanency. Moreover, the ‘realism’ in the style and content of writing, which is so unlike any other ancient legends, and the lack of any sensible explanation as to why the Qumran Essenes would invent such information tends to refute the idea of a hoax. Feather rightly asks who they would be trying to fool. The Qumran Essenes were renowned as people of righteousness and truth, hence why would they wish to perpetrate an elaborate and expensive fraud. [MJF: recall also that the C’s said the treasure was real but no longer intact as described]
- Feather cites the close connection between the Copper Scroll and the Qumran Essenes and the difficulty of imagining how or why the vast Temple treasures were hidden prior to 68 A.D, before the Temple came under direct threat (it would in fact be destroyed by the Romans in 70 A.D.).
However, one principal problem remained and that was that despite the best efforts of researchers like John Allegro in following the directions given in the Scroll, the attempts to find any treasure in the any of the locations identified in Palestine were completely unsuccessful.
The Copper Scroll itself is, as its name indicates, a scroll made from copper, engraved and rolled up. It is about eight feet long, a foot wide and 0.9 mm in depth and was found in three pieces. It consists of a catalogue of sixty-four locations spread over a wide geographical area where enormous amounts of gold and silver bullion, precious stones and jewellery, various ritual items and vestments, and other scrolls were secreted. All of this is laid out in twelve columns in a curious blend of Hebrew and Greek. An example of the kind of clue laid out in the Copper Scroll may be found in an English translation of the first column of the Scroll, which shows the basic structure of each of the entries. The structure is 1) general location, 2) specific location, often with distance to dig, and 3) what to find, for example:

1:1 In the ruin that is in the valley of Acor, under
1:2 the steps, with the entrance at the East,
1:3 a distance of forty cubits: a strongbox of silver and its vessels
1:4 with a weight of seventeen talents. KεN
As Farrell states, it is only when one totals all twelve columns and their separate lists of treasure together, one gets an astonishing result, an inventory of treasure that is truly incredible:
Gold: 1285 Talents
Gold: 1285 Talents
Silver: 666 Talents
Gold and silver: 17 Talents
Gold and silver vessels: 600 Talents
Mixed precious metals: 2,088 Talents
Gold Ingots 165 (no weight specified)
Silver Bars 7
Gold and silver vessels 609
One Biblical Talent is estimated to have weighed about 76Ib or 34.47 Kg. In total, the Copper Scroll seems to be referring to precious metals that are worth around $1.5 billion (at 2014 prices), but whose intrinsic historic value would be many times this figure. However, even more incredibly, Feather cited a 1993 NATO conference on prehistoric gold that according to best estimates suggests that the treasure of the Copper Scroll would have accounted for more than 25% of the world’s entire supply of gold at that time and the 65 tonnes of silver would have accounted for the stock of the entire world. It was for this reason that many researchers maintained that the treasure referred to in the Copper Scroll was an elaborate hoax for the amounts involved seem nearly impossible.
However, Feather using his metallurgical and scientific experience hypothesised that with the relatively primitive refining techniques that were available over 2,000 years ago, the [Hebrew] units of weight in use for precious metals would have been many orders of magnitude less than assumed by modern translators. This led Feather to construct a complex hypothesis in which he connected the Copper Scroll, and the Qumran community itself, to Egypt.
He began by noting that while engraving on copper was virtually unknown in the Middle East in ancient times, there was one significant exception and that was Egypt where texts were engraved on copper. In addition, Feather noted that copper engraving was unknown in Judea during the time frame of the Qumran community’s existence and copper itself was difficult to obtain there. This fact plus the engraving skills exhibited on the Scroll, which was riveted together, again pointed to Egypt where such skills, including riveting, were known and where texts were engraved on copper. However, it was the evidence of riveting that Feather really homed in on as it proved to be a key to when and where the Scroll was created.
Feather noted that the style and type of riveting in the Copper Scrolls was identical to the type of riveting in use at the time of the Egyptian Eighteenth Dynasty. Farrell observes that this is highly significant for the Eighteenth Dynasty (circa 1550 – 1290 BC) was that of Pharaoh Akhenaten and Queen Nefertiti. In addition to all this, the copper in the Copper Scroll is itself similar and indeed, almost identical in chemical composition to the copper being produced in Egypt in the Eighteenth Dynasty. Feather concluded that, given its chemical composition, its weight, and the evident Egyptian engraving and riveting skills manifest in it, that the copper of the Scroll came from a piece of ancient Egyptian copper. This then led him to conclude that the metrology evident in the Copper Scroll probably referred to Egyptian units of measure, which weighed significantly less than the Hebrew units and which contained units of measure specific to weighing metals.
These considerations led Feather to the conclusion that the Qumran Essene community had a deeply Egyptian root or connection and that it was the guardian of some sort of Egyptian secret [MJF: Was that secret the discovery of an ancient treasure trove of knowledge buried under the base of the Sphinx?]. Farrell notes that Feather further reinforced his argument by pointing out that the Essenes, for strict pious Jews, maintained yet another particularly “Egyptian” practice in that they abstained from the animal sacrifices of the Jerusalem Temple, which was in keeping with the Akhenaten revolution that had banned animal sacrifice throughout Egypt.
All this led Feather to come to his main conclusion which was that the treasure referred to in the Copper Scroll was not the treasure of the Jerusalem Temple but rather the treasure of Akhenaten’s temple and the references in the Scroll are to be found in Egypt and not in Palestine (N.B. others claim the locations have matched areas around Jericho or Qumran itself). Moreover, by tying the Hebrew Yahwist revelation to Akhenaten’s monotheistic revolution, this treasure represented the “Gold of the Egyptians” that Moses and the Hebrews carried with them out of Egypt. This is an amazing deduction since neither Farrell nor Feather would have been aware of what the C’s have said about the reign of Akhenaten and his queen, Nefertiti, and the monotheist revolution that Akhenaten inspired in Egypt. They would not have appreciated that Abraham and Moses were, according to Laura and the C’s, one and the same person who was responsible, with the help of Queen Nefertiti (who became the biblical figures of Sarah and Rachel), for stealing Akhenaten’s Ark of the Covenant and the Grail and no doubt, as Feather proposes, much of the Pharaoh’s state treasure as well.
My only concern with Feather’s theory is that compelling as it is, how does one explain the appearance of Greek in the Scroll if it supposedly dates back to the Egyptian 18th Dynasty and specifically the reign of Pharaoh Akhenaten (who reigned in the middle of the 14th Century BC)? The Greek alphabet (which admittedly evolved from the earlier Phoenician alphabet which dates back to the 15th Century BC) did not emerge until the 8th or 9th Century BC, long after Akhenaten’s reign. This issue does not argue against an Egyptian provenance for the metal of the Scroll, but it does call into question Feather’s dating of the Scroll (although the raw metal sheet itself could have dated back to Akhenaten’s time even if the engraving does not). I have only read the extracts from the works of Feather quoted in Farrell’s book, so it is possible he may have dealt with the Hebrew/Greek script issue in his books. I would only add that in the age of the Jewish Essenes of Qumran, Hebrew had by then become the religious language of the Jews and would have been read and spoken primarily by the Priesthood, whereas the everyday language the people used was by then Aramaic. Some scholars identify the Hebrew used in the Scroll as Mishnaic Hebrew dating to the middle of the 2nd Century AD, although others view the Scroll as more likely dating to the 1st Century AD, prior to the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 AD. However, the lingua franca for the intelligentsia of the Middle East in that period was Greek and had been so ever since Alexander the Great’s conquest of the region a few centuries before. There is little doubt though that the highly educated priests among the Qumran Essenes would have been well versed in both Hebrew and Greek.

They would not have appreciated that Abraham and Moses were, according to Laura and the C’s, one and the same person who was responsible, with the help of Queen Nefertiti (who became the biblical figures of Sarah and Rachel), for stealing Akhenaten’s Ark of the Covenant and the Grail and no doubt, as Feather proposes, much of the Pharaoh’s state treasure as well.
My only concern with Feather’s theory is that compelling as it is, how does one explain the appearance of Greek in the Scroll if it supposedly dates back to the Egyptian 18th Dynasty and specifically the reign of Pharaoh Akhenaten (who reigned in the middle of the 14th Century BC)? The Greek alphabet (which admittedly evolved from the earlier Phoenician alphabet which dates back to the 15th Century BC) did not emerge until the 8th or 9th Century BC, long after Akhenaten’s reign. This issue does not argue against an Egyptian provenance for the metal of the Scroll, but it does call into question Feather’s dating of the Scroll (although the raw metal sheet itself could have dated back to Akhenaten’s time even if the engraving does not). I have only read the extracts from the works of Feather quoted in Farrell’s book, so it is possible he may have dealt with the Hebrew/Greek script issue in his books. I would only add that in the age of the Jewish Essenes of Qumran, Hebrew had by then become the religious language of the Jews and would have been read and spoken primarily by the Priesthood, whereas the everyday language the people used was by then Aramaic. Some scholars identify the Hebrew used in the Scroll as Mishnaic Hebrew dating to the middle of the 2nd Century AD, although others view the Scroll as more likely dating to the 1st Century AD, prior to the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 AD. However, the lingua franca for the intelligentsia of the Middle East in that period was Greek and had been so ever since Alexander the Great’s conquest of the region a few centuries before. There is little doubt though that the highly educated priests among the Qumran Essenes would have been well versed in both Hebrew and Greek.

The Copper Scroll Part 3
The Origins of the Copper Scroll Treasure
Robert Feather attributed the hiding of the Copper Scroll Treasure to Joseph, the biblical patriarch and son of Jacob, who in the Bible became a vizier at the court of Pharoah after being sold into slavery by his brothers. However, the C’s have agreed with Laura that Jacob was in reality just another figure of Abraham/Moses whilst the figure of Joseph was mainly based on an Egyptian king:
Q: Well, that's bizarre. Was King Scorpion of Egypt the "Joseph" of the Bible?
A: Mainly.
Q: Does that mean that Joseph was a composite story?
A: Yes.
In her article “Jerusalem’s Temple Treasures: Where Did They Go?” published in the Summer 2023 issue of Biblical Archaeology Review*, Elena Dugan, a Harvard University specialist in early Judaism and Christianity, began by detailing some of the impressive items catalogued in the mysterious Hebrew text called Treatise of the Vessels, which purports to report on First Temple implements around the time of the Babylonian conquest of Jerusalem: 200,000 talents of pearls; 77 gold tablets taken from the walls of Eden; 1,000 lyres and 7,000 lutes, all crafted by King David himself and coated in gold. These precious items were reportedly hidden in different places shortly before the Babylonian conquest of Jerusalem. Their secret locations are sufficiently obscure to be suggestive yet nonspecific — in a tower; as part of the “treasure of the cistern”; at the Spring of Zedekiah.

The Egypt of Akhenaten was probably the richest country in the world at that time. The Egyptians had a great fondness for gold and most likely had the richest holdings of gold of all the great powers of that age, including the Hittites, Minoans and Mycenaeans. By way of contrast, the Israelites were never a great power on the scale of Egypt or the later Babylon, so it is highly unlikely that they could have amassed themselves such a great volume of bullion or treasure as that described in the Copper Scroll, particularly when we consider that their greatest and wealthiest king, Solomon, was really based on an Egyptian Pharoah called Narmer:
Q: Was Solomon a king of Egypt?
A: Yes.
Q: Which king of Egypt was the equivalent of Solomon?
A: Narmer.
I have seen arguments that the second Temple was a very lucrative financial operation for the Sadducean priesthood (another reason for the Essenes to despise them) where they charged the faithful for entry into the Temple. Moreover, half a shekel (a silver coin) is also mentioned in the Torah as being the annual contribution every Jew was required to give to the Temple coffers. I have read that a shekel (which in Hebrew means simply “weight”) weighed about 0.4 ounces or 11 grams, although I have seen other estimates that suggested a half shekel weighed as much as 8 grams. This difference could be explained by the fact that the sanctuary or Temple shekel may have weighed twice that of the ordinary shekel used by traders and merchants. To put its value in perspective, in the New Testament, the standard wage for a day’s labour was reckoned to be a shekel. It has therefore been argued that over the course of time, by these means, the priests of the Temple could have amassed a fortune on the scale of that referred to in the Copper Scroll. Nevertheless, it took 3,000 silver shekels to equal one talent, the heaviest and largest unit of weight and value mentioned in scripture. In Christ’s time, a talent was viewed as a huge sum of money. Thus, anyone who possessed five talents of silver or gold would be viewed as a multimillionaire by today’s standards. Given the quantities of gold and silver mentioned in the Copper Scroll, we are potentially looking at holdings worth billions in today’s currencies. However, in support of Feather’s argument about which system of weights may have been applicable to the Copper Scroll treasure, it should be noted that before 700 BC (prior to the fall of the first Temple), the system of weights used in ancient Judea was based on the Egyptian system whereafter it changed to the Hebrew shekel.
So, is it possible that the Israelites/Hebrews under the leadership of Abraham/Moses took with them into the desert much of the treasure of Egypt at the same time as they purloined the Ark of the Covenant and the Grail? Could they have retained the treasure during their 40-year sojourn in the desert where it finally ended up in the temple of Jerusalem in the reign of King David and where it remained secreted away until the Babylonian siege of Jerusalem in 597 BC? Although the Babylonians certainly recorded carrying off the Treasure of the Temple, there is no suggestion that they seized anywhere near the volume of gold, silver, and precious stones mentioned in the Copper Scroll. Moreover, there is no mention of them laying their hands on the fabled Ark of the Covenant either. The Bible tells us that the prophet Jeremiah was the person responsible for hiding the Ark of the Covenant. Could he have organised the hiding of the Copper Scroll’s Treasure at the same time?
The Jews would, of course, return to Israel after their liberation by the Persians and would rebuild the ruined Temple. We are told in Ezra 1:6–11 and 5:14–17 that most of the First Temple implements stolen during the Babylonian conquest of Jerusalem were eventually restored to the new Temple. There is no indication though that the Jews ever discovered the whereabouts of the hidden Ark of the Covenant. If that is the case, did the original Egyptian treasure remain hidden too? However, as we know, the second Temple would itself by sacked and looted by the Romans in the year 70 AD and the Temple treasures would once again be seized and hauled off to Rome. The triumphal Arch of Titus, which was erected in Rome to commemorate the victories of the future Roman emperor Titus over Judea, famously pictures the looted treasures from the Jerusalem Temple being paraded through the streets of ancient Rome. But if the Roman treasure haul had been as great as the treasure described in the Copper Scroll, the Romans, as meticulous record keepers, would surely have mentioned it.

In her article “Jerusalem’s Temple Treasures: Where Did They Go?” published in the Summer 2023 issue of Biblical Archaeology Review*, Elena Dugan, a Harvard University specialist in early Judaism and Christianity, began by detailing some of the impressive items catalogued in the mysterious Hebrew text called Treatise of the Vessels, which purports to report on First Temple implements around the time of the Babylonian conquest of Jerusalem: 200,000 talents of pearls; 77 gold tablets taken from the walls of Eden; 1,000 lyres and 7,000 lutes, all crafted by King David himself and coated in gold. These precious items were reportedly hidden in different places shortly before the Babylonian conquest of Jerusalem. Their secret locations are sufficiently obscure to be suggestive yet nonspecific — in a tower; as part of the “treasure of the cistern”; at the Spring of Zedekiah.
*See: The Jerusalem Temple Treasures—Where Are They? - Biblical Archaeology Society
The complicated textual history of the document, its age, origin, and authorship uncertain, the Treatise of the Vessels comes to us in two distinct textual traditions. On the one hand, it was sometimes incorporated into composite Hebrew volumes printed between the 17th and 20th centuries that contained various items of interest to Jewish communities. These versions of the Treatise clearly indicate that the Temple treasures are to be found in and around Babylon, between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers.
The alternative version preserved on two ancient-looking plaques, on the other hand, assumes the Temple treasures were deposited somewhere in the Holy Land. The two plaques — now lost — were associated with a collection of 66 stone plaques inscribed with the entire Book of Ezekiel that are now displayed in the Ben Zvi Institute in Jerusalem. The whole set is now believed to be a modern forgery, but the original inclusion of the Treatise among the plaques is noteworthy. Moreover, the Treatise from the plaques differs from the version in the printed volumes in a crucial way: By placing the reader atop Mt. Carmel in northern Israel, it appears to situate the Temple treasures within the Holy Land itself.
Dugan writes, the suggestion that the Temple treasures remain stashed away in the Holy Land accords with a “popular quilt of legends” that places them there. In her mind, this tradition is the later of the two, and represents a reimagining of the treasures’ locations, with some of the Babylonian references stripped away and an extra focus on the Holy Land.
If Treatise of the Vessels is genuine, then the treasures it describes (200,000 talents of pearl, 77 gold tablets etc.) seems more in keeping with the treasure described in the Copper Scroll. Moreover, its obscure descriptions of hiding places are again reminiscent of the hidden locations described in the Copper Scroll. I must admit that the idea of a captured, vanquished people, who had been led as slaves into captivity in Babylon, somehow hiding such vast amounts of treasure in and around Babylon whilst under the watchful eyes of their Babylonian captors makes little sense to me. If Treatise of the Vessels is genuine, then it is far more likely that the treasure described was hidden away in secret locations in the Holy Land prior to the fall of Jerusalem. Nevertheless, the Treatise again shows, along with the Copper Scroll, that there was a tradition of a vast Jewish treasure being secreted away prior to the fall of the Temple.

With their possible Rex Deus roots and inherited family knowledge, could the original nine Knights Templar have found something, perhaps like a second Copper Scroll* or an ancient plaque like that allegedly containing the Treatise of the Vessels, during their excavations under Temple Mount in Jerusalem, which enabled them to locate and rediscover the hidden treasure of the First Temple, including the Ark of the Covenant, an artefact which had originally been the property of the Egyptian Pharoah Akhenaten? Could that treasure have included ancient documents (tablets?) which represented the knowledge of the ancient Essenes, which had been discovered by them under the Sphinx where it had been buried by Atlantean survivors? Alternatively, or in addition, could the treasure have included the pure crystal skull the Knights Templar called ‘Baphomet’ (MJF: which I believe is the Grail), which had been amongst the items buried under the Sphinx by the Atlantean survivors and subsequently found by the ancient Essenes? If so, was this how the Templars gained the knowledge of levitation as the C’s have told us?
*Apparently, the final 64th clue on the Copper Scroll refers to the location of a duplicate scroll, but with additional details in the clues. This scroll is called the ‘Silver Scroll’. Neither the Silver Scroll nor any of the treasure has ever been found. The author and researcher Robert Eisenman argued that the Copper Scroll was an authentic treasure map created by the Essene community and he further asserted that the Silver Scroll was discovered by the Knights Templar who used it to locate and dig up all the treasure.

Quoting from the Wikipedia entry for the Copper Scroll:
The style of writing is unusual, different from the other scrolls. It is written in a style similar to Mishnaic Hebrew. While Hebrew is a well-known language, the majority of ancient Hebrew text in which the language is studied is generally biblical in nature, which the Copper Scroll is not. As a result, "most of the vocabulary is simply not found in the Bible or anything else we have from ancient times." The orthography is unusual, the script having features resulting from being written on copper with hammer and chisel. There is also the anomaly that seven of the location names are followed by a group of two or three Greek letters, thought by some to represent numerical values. Also, the "clauses" within the scroll mark intriguing parallels to that of Greek inventories, from the Greek temple of Apollo. This similarity to the Greek inventories, would suggest that the scroll is in fact an authentic "temple inventory."
Some scholars believe that the difficulty in deciphering the text is perhaps due to it having been copied from another original document by an illiterate scribe who did not speak the language in which the scroll was written, or at least was not well familiar. As Milik puts it, the scribe "uses the forms and ligature of the cursive script along with formal letters, and often confuses graphically several letters of the formal hand." As a result, it has made translation and understanding of the text difficult.
Is it possible, therefore, that the Copper Scroll is merely a poor copy of the Silver Scroll, which may have been the original version of the Treasure inventory that was found by the Templars during their excavations under Temple Mount?
Postscript
In writing this article, I have deliberately avoided being drawn into speculation about the more sensational claims that have been made about the contents of the Qumran Dead Sea Scrolls by the likes of John Allegro, Robert H Eisenman, Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh (these last two being co-authors with Henry Lincoln of The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail, which claimed that the real secret of the Holy Grail was that it was the secret bloodline of Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene and their purported offspring) amongst others. Many of these contentious claims revolve around the alleged involvement of the Vatican in suppressing the full publication of the Scrolls for fear the contents might undermine the claims of the Church. Another contentious issue surrounds the identity of the “Teacher of Righteousness” who is referred to in some of the documents. Since, I am not an accredited historian, archaeologist, or biblical scholar, I have chosen to avoid commenting on these issues and instead concentrated on what the C’s have said about the Copper Scroll and its Treasure and the potential involvement of the Templars in finding the Treasure along with the secret knowledge of the ancient Essenes that may have been hidden with it.
As to the issue of the long period of time which passed before the contents of the Dead Sea Scrolls were made public, this can to a large extent be explained by traditional archaeological procedures whereby archaeologists are reluctant to go public with their findings until they have finished their investigations and completed their official report, which was made more difficult because it was a collaborative project in this case involving several international archaeologists and biblical scholars. Moreover, it also took many years to collect the Scrolls together in one place since many of them had found their way into private hands on the thriving black market in antiquities in Israel and Jordan and these had to be purchased one by one from their owners.
However, perhaps the major reason which explains the long delay in their publication is the state of the Scrolls themselves. Whilst writing this article, I watched a very informative documentary on the Scrolls made by Jamie Theakston as part of his Forbidden History series. The main take away for me was the highly fragmented and damaged state of most of the Scrolls. Theakston was permitted to examine some of the Scrolls and documentary fragments, which revealed just how damaged they were after two millennia of being stored in clay jars within caves. Unlike the Copper Scroll, these documents were written on papyrus and parchment made from animal skins. Many of these documents have disintegrated into small fragments that have had to be laboriously cleaned up and assembled like the numerous pieces of a giant jig saw puzzle. As a result, in many cases much of the original document is missing and scholars have had to determine what the missing words and sentences might be (admittedly now with the help of computer technology). With known scripture the task is much easier but with other Qumran documents and commentaries the process of piecing them together is much harder.
The other thing to bear in mind is that parts of documents and fragments are still being found at Qumran to this very day. Theakston interviewed an Israeli archaeologist who is involved in current archaeological investigations at Qumran, and he made it clear that the process is very much an ongoing one with new discoveries still being made. As regards what has been found and transcribed so far, biblical scholars both Jewish and Christian are aware that the Dead Sea Scroll scriptural discoveries represent the oldest extant version of the Bible we currently have in the world today. When comparing the script with recognised versions of the Torah, it is noticeable that there are sometimes small deviations between the two. It should be noted here that even the difference of one word in a line of scripture can place a very different interpretation on the passage in question.
Are there explosive details within the contents of the Dead Sea Scrolls which could fatally undermine both the foundations of the Christian and Jewish religions if revealed to the public, which have been deliberately withheld by the authorities as some authors and researchers claim? I would state quite simply that I just don’t know. I shall therefore leave it to the reader to draw their own conclusions based on what they themselves may have read and learned about this matter rather than enter into idle speculation on my part.

Regarding the term the widow's son, I have thought something that may be nonsense.
Constriction relief versus constriction.
The widow has lost her husband, so her son grows up without a father.
He/she is..., we can say, good by nature, and in that state in this world, he is to complete the task of the grail.

You may be on to something. The C's answer to Laura when she asked for the meaning of the "Widow's Son" was that he "Stalks path of wisdom incarnate". Laura when asking the question was trying to link the appellation to Perceval who in the Grail story was certainly good by nature if somewhat naïve, lacking in experience, wisdom and judgement. We should remember though that he did eventually accomplish his mission/task where the Grail was concerned.
The Grail stories that emerged in Europe in the late 12th and early 13th centuries may well have been inspired by the Templars after they had discovered the Grail. Certainly the German Crusader knight Wolfram von Eschenbach who wrote the Grail story Parzival thought (or actually knew) they possessed it. You can also see in the transcript I quoted from that Laura was trying to connect Perceval, Paran Sikarios (ref. the "Jewish Sicarii" or "dagger men"), the Assassini, and Ishmael together. The C's also advised her to try and connect the Ishmaelis to the Templars. In my article, I have attempted to describe a link between the Assassins (as Ishmaelis) and the Templars via a joint heritage (and bloodline) they shared arising from the Qumran Essenes and the Levites, a link which also involved the ancient city of Damascus. My starting point is as always the C's answers in the transcripts. What I have discovered does seem to establish the link the C's spoke of between the two groups, although I am always open to contrary suggestions.
However, the appellation “The Widow’s Son” is also of great importance to the Freemasons through the mythical personage of Hiram Abiff, The fact that the Freemasons may be the heirs of the Knights Templar thus becomes of major relevance here. Like much else, have the Masons lost sight of the original meaning of the expression “The Widow’s Son” as it may have been known to their Templar progenitors?
Trying to unpick the web the secret societies like the Rosicrucians have woven through history is not an easy task, that is why one has to look at every possible connection and see where it leads. However, the discovery of the unique DNA of the Levite priestly line may help to answer many questions and provide corroborating evidence for statements the C's have made over the years about special human bloodlines.

Please note that I am not firing on all cylinders yet. Indeed, I really struggled to complete this article. Anyway, I hope it will stimulate lively debate. BTW: I was really impressed by some of the questions asked in the most recent transcript. The C's seem to be opening up more and more as long as people do the spade work when researching the question before asking it. I think even Laura was surprised at some of the answers. Well done to everyone.
I am beginning to suspect that the group the C's have been in contact with since the days of Kantek may have included those who used the Grail to journey to earth before the planet exploded. Let us call them the "Grail group". They may have even travelled through time, not necessarily arriving at the same time as their fellow Kantekkians who the C's said were brought here by the Greys. There may even be a connection with the Egyptian 'Boat of a Million Years', which the C's said was a time machine. Egyptian wall murals often show this boat with the green head of Osiris on a long post seemingly steering it. William Henry of Ancient Aliens even thinks the Boat resembles the familiar shape of the Einstein-Rosen Bridge or wormhole suggesting it was a time machine as the C's said. Who knows?
Perhaps the C's have kept up contact with this Grail group down the centuries including members of Perseid family like Akhenaten and Meritaten. This contact may today include members of this Forum, including obviously Laura and Ark. Indeed, Wolfram von Eschenbach even spoke of a Grail family whose members were called to serve the Grail. However, I may be well wide of the mark here and we could be speaking of another group altogether.

Too true. However, I couldn't help but smile at your statement when thinking of my three sons who spend their time trying to teach me so as to balance my shortcomings

Well, as Ra says in the law of one material, you can't teach without learning and you can't learn without teaching (I'm paraphrasing)... soToo true.

This 'Damascus Document' was found by Solomon Schechter in the Cairo Genizah?
(read about it here: -> The Dark Earth Chronicles - Part 2.5)
This could (!) mean, that content taken from the Cairo Genizah was used to fake the Qumran Dead Sea Scrolls.
Read about this possibilitiy here (also watch the video in the link):

This is not an attempt to denigrate your compilation.
I'm just adding thoughts on alternative contexts that come to mind as I read through.
Also, good to see you've recovered.
