The Mysterious Lost Gospel of Judas: Fact or Fiction of Co-Redemption?

Copyright © 2006 by J.J. Hurtak, Ph.D., Ph.D.

The secret account of the revelation that Jesus spoke in conversation with Judas Iscariot during a week three days before he celebrated Passover.

Jesus said to him, “Step away from the others and I shall tell you the mysteries of the kingdom. It is possible for you to reach it, but you will grieve a great deal.” —The Gospel of Judas

The provocative world news release (April 2006) on the themes found in the recovery of the lost Gospel of Judas (Iscariot) was not unexpected for those who have been working with the lost Coptic texts for the last thirty years or more. The Gospel recently resurfaced in New York in February 2006 but was originally discovered along the Nile River near the city of El-Minya about 120 kilometers south of Cairo in the 1970s.  It coincides with the bulk of the Nag Hammadi corpus and slowly published by scholars in Berlin (1950s), at UNESCO, and at the Institute of Christian Antiquities in California which hinted at controversial sayings and works on the life of Jesus Christ and his disciples.

The great acumen of Marvin Meyers and other modern scholars reveal the Gospel of Judas as a document that flies in the face of the teachings of the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke) and the Gospel of John that are the only gospels in the traditional canon. Although it only recently resurfaced, scholars who first reviewed the document realized that they had discovered a critically important lost third century Gospel, attributed to Judas Iscariot. They knew what a striking discovery they held in their hands of possibly overwhelming importance; a document that re-evaluated the final portions of the orthodox New Testament Gospels on the passion, death and resurrection of Christ. The bottom line is that Judas had a prior knowledge of his role in the crucifixion story as part of an inner teaching that Jesus had exclusively shared with him regarding the cosmic role of his (Jesus) birth and death according to Divine Providence.  The attribution of the name of “Judas” to a Coptic gospel hundreds of years after the historic event is not inconsistent in the tradition of Egyptian and Jewish kabbalistic wisdom where the writers would not give their names but use the name of a sage or messenger out of respect for the greater tradition of teachings.

I have just returned from a project near Nag Hammadi which was the scene of the greatest discovery of post-New Testament documents in 1945 of more than 54 ancient Christian texts and is surrounded by archaeological sites and work that continues to this day.  Nag Hammadi lies in the valley of Upper Nile, on the east bluff of the river, approximately thirty kilometers south of Abydos, where some of the greatest temples of the ancient world honor Osiris, the dying and rising god of Egyptian cosmology.  Here Coptic writers and scholars in the second and third century AD labored with theological, psychological and cosmological questions on the life and death of Jesus of Nazareth in an area that extended north to Panopolis (“Global City”), the capital of the Egyptian district.  The remnants of monasteries and the ruins of temples mark the heavy intellectual life of a former period and of a teeming Christianity that was neither Eastern or Western European, but uniquely Egyptian-African.  It is in this area of influence that extended from Egypt to Ethiopia that one is to find, as the great explorer James Bruce in the eighteenth century, some of the greatest missing works of the Inter-testament and post-New testament period that many of the African fathers of the early church regarded as canonical or being worthy of study.

There are some distinct variations of fact between this lost Gospel of Judas and the four canonical gospels. Some of the most important the reader will note are as follows:

• Judas plays a much closer role to Jesus as part of an inner discipleship.
• Jesus knew that the significance of his death required human players to enact the cosmic drama and that Judas was key to that event of death where Jesus would exchange his garment of flesh for a body of light.
• The use of esoteric or mystical terminology such as “Barbelo” and “Sophia” is key to the language of other Coptic texts that explain that the true nature of the mystery of the death and resurrection of Christ.
• The real opposition of Jesus’ s teachings behind the scenes were not the Roman or Judaic political and religious authorities but the fallen angelic hierarchies directed by Yaldabaoth and others who used the human systems as pawns.
• There is a distinction blurred between the portrayed fallen Sophia in the Judas Scroll and the feminine principle of higher wisdom in the Greek Old Testament and Mystical Christianity in Egypt that affirms the positive nature of Sophia.
• Also, Saklas, a negative master intelligence in the greater cosmos, is considered the creator of Adam and Eve.
• Both the New Testament and the Genuine Christian Nag Hammadi Document emphasize that Mary Magdalene, John and Peter were Jesus’ closest disciples.The critical elements of the fuller story of Jesus on the cross, e.g. the reality of the resurrection off the cross – the “good news” of the “Gospels” – is left out of the story.
• It is also interesting to note that unlike other Coptic documents that recognize the prominence assigned to Mary Magdalene, there is no mention of the role of Mary Magdalene or fore-mothers of the Cross.  This may be because this account tends to lay more responsibility for the crucifixion for a higher Divine Plan of human redemption. The Gospel of Judas emphasizes that the Divine Mind operating through Christ has pre-appointed one, Judas Iscariot, relieving somewhat the Romans and the Jews for their share in the historic event celebrated at Easter throughout the world.

Skeptics and open-minded scholars and readers must make a distinction between genuine “kosher”  Christian Gnostic texts who accept the death and resurrection of Christ within the role of the Divine Father (YHWH) and the mystical traditions of Old and New Testament writings. In short, the genuine Christian Gnostics were not anti-Semitic and included the great African church fathers, Clement of Alexandria and the greatest scholar of the early Church, Origen.

While in general the story of the trial and crucifixion that is revealed in the Gospel of Judas follows that of the canonical gospels, in detail it is very different. The Gospel of Judas falls short of the genuine nature of the more reasonable Coptic “Christian” documents and diminishes the role of the other disciples and the work of the Office of the Christ (Hebrews, chapter 8) that Jesus came to fulfill without the need of a specific master-servant intrigue. It is recommended that interested readers look at the larger corpus of the Pistis Sophia text documents (five volumes) that my wife and I have translated and published from the original Coptic texts through the Academy for Future Science. Here the role of the Trinity of Trinities, the Ineffable Name, and the role of Jesus after resurrection according to the collected writings of the disciples of the disciples in Egypt, is explored in great detail.

For those of you who want a more detailed description with commentary of some of the Gnostic texts and ideas, please see Pistis Sophia: Text and Commentary and you will understand the higher faith and wisdom that the ancient Christians living in Egypt revealed.

J.J. Hurtak, author of Gnosticism: Mystery of Mysteries, and translator and expositor of the Pistis Sophia Text and Commentary with his wife, Desiree, studied Coptic texts in Egypt and was a consultant in an archaeological project that used GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) to locate the tomb of Osiris in Egypt in 1997.

The Los Lunas stone (located a few kilometers from the small city of Los Lunas, New Mexico) stands as a witness of what many scholars regard as the first “star map”and “religious testimonial” connecting the Old World with the New World. According to the late Dr. Cyrus Gordon, professor of Brandeis University and Harvard University, the stone authentically depicts a date equivalent of September 15, 107 BCE in a version of paleo-Canaanite or “old” Hebrew script. The orthography and aesthetic balance of the letters suggest the work of “unknown” scholars acquainted with the traditional Ten Commandments recognized in the pre-New Testament period by special people who had a reason to “stake out” this area in relation to the Holy Land, or who had been so inspired to leave behind a witness of Israel in the New World.

Other linguistic scholars like Dr. James Harris (formally of BYU) are of the opinion that the stone is connected with the work of Israeli craftsmen who were able to reach the New Mexico area as early as 400 BCE, being part of the great diaspora that relocated the legendary “Ten Lost Tribes of Israel” to various parts of the world. This occurred from the time of the destruction of the First Temple to the beginning of the intertestamental period.

Still others who are cultural historians acknowledge that Phoenician navigators and linguistics may have had a strong influence on the creators of the inscription. The Phoenicians were the scholarly source of both the ancient Hebrew and Greek orthography and the “fathers of phonetics” used for the updating of many important languages that were later spread to developing centers of commerce through their superb navigational system.

Most anthropologists feel that the stone shows the Ten Commandments in paleo-Canaanite or “old” Hebrew script and is the work of rabbinic scholars or cartographers who were taught by rabbinic authorities who had to leave Portugal or Spain in the 16th century. It would not be uncommon to mark the “edge” of the New World Empire with ancestral words of God’s Providence and power since the New World was divided between Spain and Portugal. The commandments in this context stand as a type of “mezzuzah” on one of the mount gates for the official ground or territory of the new empire was “staked” for all to acknowledge. In fact, the first governor’s home built in North America was nearby at Sante Fe.

Finally, in spite of the strikingly good condition of the ancient script, it should be noted that this location is exactly within one of the important sacred areas mentioned in The Book of Knowledge: The Keys of Enoch (Key 105).  It is clear that the ancient sacred areas now being found form some sort of witness in the mountains and desert (Key 215) or, to use the language of David, at “the ends of the earth”  –that mark the sacred places for the gathering of the lost tribes of Israel (spiritual humanity) — in a time of planetary change and Messianic visitation. Let us be prepared for understanding how God’s Names were scattered throughout the world as a witness of a higher cosmology accepted by diverse cultures who also claimed a higher parentage.

Let us understand that the sacred texts are not merely for the past, but are brought forth in the fullness of “Truth” for our lifetime and in fulfillment of our destiny.  We are beginning to see the signs, not only of higher intelligence, but we are able to use scientific measurements to understand the reality of a spiritual Higher Intelligence.   This intelligence appears to be working through all peoples on the planet, not only through key leaders, but through all peoples in all walks of life who are trying to make a positive change that will bring us through our own apocalyptic moment in history, where we will all change in the twinkling of an eye.

We have the ability to understand the revealed blueprint of how the spiritual and the scientific consciousness, the Eastern and the Western movements of thought, the Overself or meta-programming and Human self-awakening can come together in a balance of “Christed Love” and interplanetary brotherhood and sisterhood.  No matter how difficult it has been in the past for people to work together, we will at last master that ability to overcome our limited circumstances and “rise to the occasion” and see why we are a part of this greater brotherhood, this greater Order of Melchizedek that has called us together to be baptized with the “Dove,” the power of collective transformation.

As we grow in spiritual truth, it is necessary to recognize that the potential for divine instruction is already within each of us.  There is also a collective revealed blueprint that has been handed down to us through sacred scriptures for many thousands of years.  First, we are to start with a holistic vision of the Father and our little planet surrounded by a Hierarchy of cosmic teachers, and the Holy Spirit as a continuing experience of Life connected not with one but many evolutions.  As we develop in our Love and understanding of the higher worlds, we will be blessed with experiencing the gifts of Spirit and we will realize that what many call “historic metaphors” are, in truth, scientific realities!  These realities actually exist and are not imaginary.  These realities are the “openings” of the inner and outer boundaries of our own planetary evolution, whereby we graduate into the firsthand experience of other Sons and Daughters of higher dimensional Light.  We are Spacekind [translation note: like mankind] when we transcend the entropy of our planetary system.

The sacred challenge before us now is to inspire the fabric of humanity that can take upon themselves the daily work and worship, that is, to pray, meditate, work, study, and to actually prepare humanity for the greater changes that will involve the entirety of the Earth that will come with the opening of new consciousness realities.  So tremendous will be these changes that science and much of our traditional spiritual philosophy and psychology will become obsolete overnight.  And because of the traditional conditionings of education, religion, responsibility, or lack of it, those who are unprepared will try to change their bodies rather than their minds into a collective “virtual reality.”

Unfortunately, at first, the shifting of the real ground state of Western civilization will be understood only by the few (people) who are genuinely willing to make changes.  Most people,  will not take on the greater responsibility to make real sacrifices to bring about a plan of co-operation through Love for humanity unless his or her own reality structure is at a crisis where a change must occur.  And so the Higher Intelligence or “Higher Evolution” in subtle ways are making themselves known to people throughout the planet through a long orientation phase.

People ask where and when will the real changes take place?  I was told that they will take place in all major regions of the planet and in all major institutions of structure and control.  We must be aware, however, that until the structure of duality is broken, whenever the “Light” manifests, the darkness also tries to make an appearance.  Whenever “Peace” is present, then chaos is also tries to gain its control.  But it is up to us to break this structure of duality, by changing the way we think and act about each other and we must live by being examples of the greater Light at all times.  We must show how we as individuals, as well as a collective force, can work together in a Fellowship of planetary citizens — then it will be clear that we can work as cosmic citizenship with the higher brotherhoods and sisterhoods.

Then what must be our basic groundwork?   It is revealed in five basic principles.

First, we must be able to reflect a divine communion — to share Love with the Living Eternal God of Gods, to co-share in the work of Christ who extends the Divine Love across space and time, through the divine power of the Holy Spirit or “the Shekinah.”  We, thus, are to see ourselves as part of the Celestial Family working for the process of creative renewal.

Second, we should take upon ourselves the privilege of daily self-reflection, private prayer and meditation that can be applied also with sacred music and sacred sounds in developing not a self-centered, but a collective “language of the Holy Spirit” that can truly open the paraphysical doors of cross-talk between consciousness levels of creative experience.

Third,  we should continue to study the sacred teachings from the ancients who also experienced the Godhead directly, who experienced “the Shekinah” (the active “Presence” of the Divine) working through them.  In studying these teachings, we strengthen and reflect on our own guiding principles as doorways of knowledge.  We also realize the Divine did not go out of business with the theological councils and authorities, but “continues” to work with us through the inner-dimensional doors of perception.

Fourth, we should share in fellowship in seminars and symposia with brothers and sisters.  We are to be as active “pillars of Light,”  reflecting a spiritual trans-cultural experience, while maintaining the guiding principles within ourselves. We must rise beyond the personality games and share in the greater goal of experiencing unity and fellowship, accepting the Light as it works in all our brothers and sisters without condemnation, but with divine discernment.  Thus, we share in the greater goals of learning to share with a global family as it extends to new worlds.

Fifth, we must reflect positive thinking and healing through the Holy Spirit (Shekinah).  We must be part of that small percent that will always “choose to be chosen”  —  who will always choose to think positively or problem solve rather than the  bulk of humanity choosing to be in the negative unconscious. This is a reflection of our spiritual endowment that we possess which allows us to interact more meaningfully and more closely with others.
As we work throughout the world, we must recognize that there are those light workers in each quarter of the earth that have come together to harness their energies, to activate the grids of ancient knowledge, of technical knowledge, of higher knowledge so that the fullness of the Hierarchy (of super-civilizations) and planetary pilgrims alike can manifest the Light on planet earth.  Thus, as we see the challenge before us, we “rise to the occasion,” we overcome those moments of fear and doubt.  The vicissitudes of traditional dualistic thoughts are largely behind us.  For we now clearly envision our own extraterrestrial imperative of ultimately moving off of a singular planet Earth.

We will find ourselves as cosmic catalysts prepared for the greater work of connecting the beginning and end of history!  We are building an educational infrastructure through the achievements of a deeper knowledge.  We are putting together the basic building blocks of opening the higher faculties of the mind.  The Left side of the mind is now activated with the Right.  This gives us the ability to learn through visualization.  This learning comes through pictographs and not through linear sentence structures.  We learn through color, the subtle colors of a new consciousness physics, and not black and white reality structures.

Thus, we must also experiment with new teaching alternatives which contribute to the development of the mind and our ability to interact with our environment through visual/sound stimuli.  The intellectual capacities of normal human beings are so incomplete in their development that there must occur an increased ability to reach deeper into the human creative consciousness and to bring out the spiritual capacity of seeing on higher levels of consciousness.

It is clear, at present, that those who work with the higher intelligence and higher forms of meditation and visualization are going through a bio-mutation that is shaped by the very thought-forms of new language.  The difference in this language is in the way that information is now being received and processed by the tri-brain using additional membrane unfoldment.  Language here has deeper implications for it is “language through color and visualization having living content and experience” expressed omnidirectionality (in all directions).  It is our fundamental human right to develop this capacity to think on higher levels, to think on divine levels, to use telethought communication processes.  Even extraterrestrial intelligences that may only be a few generations more advanced than we, and that have been seen since the 1950’s, appear to have, in addition to our primitive brain stem, cerebral cortex, and cerebellum, a fourth brain nodule that is a micro-crystalline extension of the brain’s neurological wetware. This seems to have been developed for their communication processes.

Along with this heightened sense of language, this ability to see invisible things becoming visible, must also come the development of the ability to discern right from wrong, positive and negative intelligences in dealing with the “externalization” of the Hierarchy. In terms of discernment, one has to develop the understanding of the higher elements of prophecy that warn us of wars that will take place also in the heavens.

In summation, let us think of ourselves like the Essenes, preparing the scrolls, coming together to develop a community, working together in the greater fellowship of Light.  Let us behold the higher priesthood of the Order of Melchizedek, the sacred metaphor in the New Testament book of Hebrews reflecting higher sacred science in the universe, with the understanding that we are the “Way-showers.”   Let us be aware of our own deep introspection into the levels of higher consciousness that are necessary.  Even in our daily mundane work, we can also ponder on the Divine through His Holy Names and Holy Wonders.

Let us recognize that the “Keys” of Future Knowledge mean essentially the keys to opening the terrestrial and celestial doors together, the keys that connect our planet with the higher heavens.  Ultimately, these are the keys that will allow us to enter into the Tree of Life which is our central focal point of ongoing team-work and unity of consciousness in the higher worlds of Light.  We cannot accomplish this by simply looking for automatic answers, the universe is far too complex.

Thus as spiritual pilgrims, we must not look simply at the externals, but rather to the point of crystallization of the inner-mind where we shift our own mind-set.  We must work with the internalization of the Word of God and build up the Light within us, through the power of the Word and the music of the soul.  Then will we actively work as a spiritual synergy in the world.  Then we can begin to activate the energy grids of the planet which are connected to the untapped mental energies; then we will know how to handle the energy imbalances of the psychological and psychic games that take place on the planet at the expense of true Wisdom.

Finally, we must always work in the greater Fellowship, in the communion of saints, where collective affirmations are made, with prayers, and where healings can take place.  This is where the music and Sacred Names and Expressions are used to kindle energy in  abundance.

Those who “Choose to be chosen” will take the higher pathway which will transform the world.  This is the way of complete service to the Father’s plan, one thousand percent (1000%).  In all of this, may the brothers and sisters rejoice.  May the “oil” or the christening of the Christ consciousness be upon our heads and may the fullness of miracles abound.  May we be united with all our hearts, with all our minds, and with all our souls.  May our Divine Father, in all of His Names, the Eternal Image, Jesus Christos, and the Holy Spirit, the active “feminine aspect” of the Godhead, be now restored within us — and unite us in every way to prepare for the cosmic Fellowship — that comes quickly.

Let our affirmations go forth now as we build an educational infrastructure.  For we are an active part of the Age of the Holy Spirit which allows our Spirit to reach from one end of the planet to another, as a network for the foundation of the Order of Melchizedek.

IKI in Moscow (the Institute of Space Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Soviet equivalent of NASA) had hoped that, just as the Soviet Vega spacecraft which flew close to Halley’s Comet in 1986 and took 10,000 instrumented observations, detecting grains of ice and dust, the very elements essential for life (hydrogen, oxygen, carbon and nitrogen), similarly the Mars Phobos II probe would also find signs of primitive life. But in March of 1989 the Russian spacecraft Phobos II, programmed for intensive studies of the geology of the red planet, disappeared from the Russian tracking system as it was performing a preliminary survey of the Martian surface. This was the most sophisticated, powerful and costly package of Soviet and European electronics and instrumentation sent to Mars from the Earth prior to 1993 and was expected to perform over thirty joint Russian-European experiments when all its cameras shut off suddenly and the “total loss of the craft” was officially noted.

One of the last images relayed to earth in detail by the Phobos II camera before data transmission was lost was an enormous elliptical shadow on the surface of Mars — cigar-shaped, and an estimated 25-27 kilometers (approxi- mately 16 miles) in length. The size of this object ruled out the possibility that it was a reflection of the Phobos spacecraft itself. Because of its of its position, its symmetrical shape, its size and its movement, no features on the surface of Mars in the area in front of the probe, nor the satellite moons of Phobos and Deimos, nor the Phobos II spacecraft itself could account for this shadow pattern occurring in the very last frames of data successfully transmitted to earth.

Was the shadow evidence that the spacecraft made contact with a non-human intelligence life form before it permanently disappeared? According to Soviet test pilot Col. Marina Popovitch, no geological features transmitted in the Phobos data tracks could have caused this unique shadow pattern. It was believed by investigators who studied the details of this shadow that appeared just prior to Phobos II’s disappearance that it was the shadow of a craft that was not on the surface of Mars but that was hovering or levitating above the planet.

Col. Marina Popovitch further stated in a public interview that the shadow seen in connection with the lost spacecraft was brought up in conversations between President Gorbachev and President Bush in December 1989 at the Malta summit. The Soviet government refused to acknowledge extraterrestrial intelligence, even though many of their top military and commercial pilots have made credible reports of such sightings. For example, at Moscow airport during test flights of an Aeroflot IL-96-300 plane in the spring of 1990, several strange objects in the sky were witnessed and photographed.

The sighting of the shadow on Mars should be enough to convince many that there may be intelligent life orbiting Mars, but in August of 1993 another event of major proportions took place that sent a tremendous rumble through the US space program. The $400,000,000 US Mars Observer probe, sent to map in detail the surface of the red planet, was lost just as it prepared to make its Mars orbital insertion. Signals were sent to pressurize the fuel tanks in the propulsion system, in preparation for rocket firings that would slow the spacecraft down and allow it to be captured by the planet’s gravity field, but the Observer’s antenna, which was to receive and acknowledge Jet Propulsion Laboratory’s signal, never responded. Scientists concluded, a short time after the loss of the probe, that the spacecraft must have exploded when the fuel tanks were being pressurized. The cost of the entire mission was close to one billion dollars.

Immediately, cries of “incompetence” and even the notion of “Cover-up” and “Conspiracy” rang out in the world press accounts. In particular, NASA was charged with deliberately concealing a story of massive importance on the Mars mission, the Martian land forms, and even details on the so-called “Face on Mars.” But what are the other realities?

In 1972, the Mariner 9 probe brought back evidence of unusual pyramidal structures on the Martian surface in the Elysium Quadrangle, and NASA’s 1976 Viking I and II probes of the red planet relayed images of a face and pyramidal complex at the Cydonia site on Mars. Although the vast majority of NASA scientists saw nothing unusual in the Mariner 9 and Viking pictures, a minority felt that some of the unusual landform configurations merited a closer look with better optical-imaging systems. These artifacts may signal the existence of perhaps even an extra-solar intelligence that is cautious about our venturing out into space.

Is it possible that the American mission, losing communication with its Mars Observer, met with a fate similar to that of the Soviet Phobos II? In short, rather than the Observer episode signifying a “cover-up” by NASA or a “conspiracy on the part of US government officials,” taking the termination of the Phobos II probe into account, we might ask: Is it possible that there is a more powerful intelligence in space that may be watching our planetary endeavors? There may be an extra-solar intelligence already with a base on Mars that is watching and waiting for the the human race’s next events in accepting and understanding the operations of parallel evolution. The “Face on Mars” may be a sort of Rorschach ink blot test, or a psychological mirror: It may indicate that we need to overcome our desire for cultural domination and realize that our technology may be harmful to other planetary environments. It may indicate that we must first understand the conditions of a larger evolutionary reality.

The unusual signatures of a much larger story seem to suggest that there truly exist, on the larger evolutionary space-time horizon, forces which one might call the celestial “higher-ups” in the frontiers of space that have other designs for contact and work on Mars. Perhaps, when we conquer our desire to be eternal cosmic warriors and can get beyond the “conspiracy” theories we apply to things we do not understand then we can begin to use our sister planet as a stepping-stone for peaceful space colonization and our own eventual settlements as Peace-Makers amongst the stars.

The purpose of the first several human missions to Mars will be to follow up on the robotic explorations and to answer, above all, the question of whether or not the Red Planet has ever harbored life.  In this process, the earlier missions of Mariner 9 and Viking l and 2 recorded landforms that suggested questionable details of earlier life.The Book of Knowledge:  The Keys of Enoch® was the first book to ever publish unique landforms on Mars, specifically the four tetrahedral structure on the Elysium Quadrandle. The Academy also published the first Viking pictures materials regarding the unique artifacts in the Cydonia area including the co-called Face of Mars.

Twenty-one years later, on April 7, 1998, Guard Hall from NASA’s Deep Space Network system at Jet Propulsion Lab, Pasadena, California, and I had the opportunity to view some of the first pictures sent back to earth from the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) which showed that the Cydonia region of “the Face” no longer matched the earlier suppositions drawn from the Viking data on the classical proportions of the Face.

In other words, a careful juxtaposition of the earlier pictures of the Face provided by Viking in July of 1976 (e.g., 35A72) and the pictures of the six different sun angles with the new pictures from the MGS project show that the details of the so-called Mars Face, enhanced by Vincent Di Pietro at Goddard Space Flight Center through his starburst pixel interweave process in the late 1970s and early 1980s, are not confirmed by the use of the new spaceborne technology, which has the capability of imaging surface features down to a level of l.5 meters.

The lack of “evidence” of the face form at this site does not subtract, however, from the pyramidal anomalies in the Cydonia region, and the repeatable pyramidal forms in the Elysium Quadrangle. No doubt that final proof would have to wait until an international team of experts had the opportunity to land physically and do “subsurface surveys” of the Mars sites and completely review the pros and cons of all of the Martian artifacts, not only those in Cydonia, but also those in the Elysium region that exhibit massive pyramidal features.

It is hoped that NASA and specialists from other countries will now have an opportunity in the coming years to look at all the important landforms and to carry through to confirm or disconfirm the artificiality hypothesis.

On future Mars manned expeditions, photorealistic terrain modeling capabilities will be utilized even more extensively to study details of the surrounding landforms and suggested “roadways” or “radar river alignments” of the larger area.

Here are some of the important orbits and initial findings of the MGS that must be resolved by better imaging:

Orbit 258, Range 409.53 km; Resolution 3.46m/pixel — has a swath of enhanced visualization covering an area of: 3.5 km x 33.2 km, taken on April 23, 1998, and shows an unusual horse-shoe geometry at the base of a 5-sided pyramidal form.

Orbit 239, Range 331.07 km; Resolution 2.5m/pixel — has a swath of enhanced visualization covering an area of 2.5 km x 24 km, taken on April 14, 1998, and shows a missing data section near a region where there is an unusual hexagonal formation in a crater.

Orbit 220, Range 441.21 km; (see left) Resolution 4.32m/pixel — has a swath of enhanced visualization covering an area of 4.42 km x41.5 km, taken on April 5, 1998, and shows a strange geometry with 21 white lines in parallel alignment

In addition, the possibility of “extra-solar activity” on or around the Martian surface by other technology that may have been involved with the tracking and the loss of the Russian spacecraft in March of 1989prior to the mapping orbit of Phobos 2 should not be discounted.  This was the subject of special programs we did on the Soviet Phobos 2 and the American Mars Observer Missions in 1993 and should not be connected with the attempts to secure images at only one site like the Cydonia at this time, since the phenomenon of parallel evolution by definition cannot be localized in one area.

It must be remembered that as a scientific question, final proof of artificiality may have to await “ground truth” — that is, a mission carrying astronauts/cosmonauts to several areas of Mars to review face-to-face the details of many different landforms that were seen as anomalies when called to our attention by imaging specialists in the 1980s. But what we see in the next years from the Mars Rovers, and orbiters such as Odyssey and Surveyor, with careful analysis, may well be the stimulus that leads to the first all-important mission of realizing that we are the “new Martians” in the colonization of our Solar System.

It is my firm belief that we now possess the drilling technology (through Patrick Whittome and others from Europe who can reactivate the Hydrosphere of Mars) and Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR) that could finally confirm the record of parallel life on Mars within 12 months of any time a decision is made to land humans on Mars.

Until humans arrive, software engineers have developed intelligent mechanistic robots who act as dune drivers that will collect panoramic images in a small section of the ground with a stereo camera and, with the assistance of earth-based engineers, allow for patching the pictures together into a 3-D virtual environment using software and an advanced VR interface called Marsmap.  A small rover with a stereo camera that collects images of geologic terrain will be able to range as far as 100 kilometers from the landing vehicle. As the images of particular sites are gathered, they will become a rich resource for researchers wishing to explore particular landscapes of Mars in detail.

In navigating Marsmap visualizations, users can either look at the computer screen directly or immerse themselves in scenes by wearing 3-D glasses or head-tracked virtual binoculars. Explorers will be able to fly freely through the visual model, zooming towards or away from any location, rotating around a given point, and viewing objects from different vantage points.

The hard-hitting questions as evidence of earlier life on Mars cannot be answered by one or two fly-over missions or a few rovers and can only be put to rest if the international space agencies begin to take a serious look at the equatorial areas as former faces of vast water flow and the mechanisms for primordial organo-synthesis possibilities for the presence of life, or in the so-called “Inca City” region, where honeycomb configurations of geological cells and water-lines remind one of similar regions reviewed by radar experts over Guatemala and Belize in the late 1970s that confirmed man-made canals.

If we launch in October 2011 (the first human crew will arrive in April 2012) or as late as 2020, with a host of inflatable structures, life will be in full swing for the first permanent Martian colony to tap into the subterranean water oases by August.  On Mars the date will be Leo 24, XXIX, thirty-six years since the Viking cameras first saw the “face” at the height of the northern Martian spring.  The weather will be cool at its best, with clear skies and slightly strong winds, and the “face” that looks back upon Mother Earth will be our own.   §

French researchers investigating the famous Great Pyramid of Giza discovered unknown rooms. Using ground-penetrating radar systems they discovered evidence of the existence of secret passageways and a third chamber below and behind the the Queen’s Chamber.

It all started when Gilles Dormion, who was joined later by Jean-Yves Verd’hurt, made some early probes in 1986 and 1998 using microgravimetry to measure the density of construction materials and clearly saw some possible evidence of Chambers around the Queen’s Chamber. The Japanese tried to follow up this research and confirmed a cavity a few meters wide. The French team and especially Dormion concluded that there had to be a trinity of burial chambers in the Great (Cheops) Pyramid.

Egyptian archeologists are hoping that inside the chamber there may be a sarcophagus or even other tombs that will be found upon further exploration. There are already plans scheduled by the Chairman of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA), Dr. Zahi Hawass, for the further insertion of a Japanese-built remote- controlled robot which will be sent into the secret chamber. This may take place this year.

This new discovery if confirmed coincides with Key 206:38 from The Book of Knowledge: The Keys of Enoch® (published in 1973) which tells us:

“This will take place when the cosine of Judah is connected with the Chamber of the Son in the Great Pyramid. The Chamber of the Son is located within the Eye of Horus (in the position of the eye socket). The Eye of Horus is formed by the King’s Chamber and the Grand Gallery as the upper lid and the Queen’s Chamber and the Queen’s Chamber Passage creating the lower eye lid around the Chamber of the Son.”

Although the Academy and Dr. J.J. Hurtak, Ph.D. cannot confirm the details of this find until additional research goes through this year, a connection between three different chambers may emerge. In our public lectures, we have been following and reporting (e.g., Pretoria University, November 2005) on the research of Gilles Dormion and Jean Patrice Goidin who were part of the larger team that worked on the Great Pyramid’s ventilation shafts.

What is exciting for Egyptian archeologists is the possibility of finding another tomb or sarcophagus. The Cheops (Khufu) pyramid is surrounded on the Giza plateau by many mastaba tombs, but no clear evidence of any bodies has been found at least in the major pyramids. There was some evidence that the smaller pyramid of Menkura did house a mummy that was stolen and the lost at sea.

If this preliminary, significant finding is proven accurate of new rooms and extensive passages, this will point to a new chapter in Egyptology, remote sensing, and the understanding of our Higher Heritage.

New Walls Encircle Pyramidal Complex at Giza

Since the beginning of 2002, Dr. J.J. Hurtak and a European team of investigators and explorers have been recording the construction of a massive system of walls being placed around the historic pyramidal sites and the larger unexcavated area of Giza, Egypt — in total, an area covering approximately eight square kilometers. Why build these massive walls at this time?  Certainly Giza is one of the finest archaeological zones of the world.  Are there new treasures of ancient Egypt yet to be uncovered that require sophisticated technology and surveillance platforms, to protect the ongoing research along the Giza plateau?  Has, perhaps, an area been discovered that shows tracings of rare earths and unique minerals?  Or is it simply, as some officials are claiming, a move to protect the plateau from terrorists and control the masses of tourists visiting the area?

The standard argument for the creation of such a wall is “crowd control”, but the details of this new construction suggest an initiative that is both multi-purpose and grand scale: the wall near Nazlat al Salman will be, at a minimum, 7 meters (22 feet) high.  Are such measures solely for crowd control?

The walls have been built in stages.  Images taken in February of 2002 reveal the walls extending far out into the desert where, for the most part, they have not been noticeable to the average visitor. Note the foundation and the massive re-bar supports. The walls have been carefully constructed on a deep and wide foundation (at least 2 meters below ground) with iron rod poles poised to support the concrete interfaces, with room for a special attachable cover. All in all this suggests a gargantuan wall.

This barrier would enclose all major archaeological activity but would do nothing to protect the archaeological site from the strong winds that blow across the plateau. So vast is this structure that some local village homes have been removed, suggesting that what is envisioned on the plateau is more than just a restricting device for visitors to the popular site. What we see is a larger, carefully thought-out design, encompassing neighboring findings and, perhaps, protecting underground graves, tunnels and passages.

Thus, not only are the aboveground structures contained in this “new zone,” but also the vast underground structures yet to be uncovered.  The extent of the walls clearly shows the detailed consideration of civil engineers and hydrological experts. (I think of the likes of the ingenious Italian architect Paolo Soleri, who designed all the ingredients for an underground city to match his aboveground city in the deserts of Arizona.)

The psychological reality of guards stationed as sentries at intervals along the entire wall carries the intrigue of a major feature film set, designed for the few experts who are to find an underground sphinx or obelisk, or a connection between Osiris and the constellation of Orion, rather than an open-door feature for thousands of well-behaved international students of history and archaeology who have never needed to be extensively controlled.

Indeed, are the chambers of the deep being closed in the 21st century to students of world culture history who follow in the footsteps of explorers like Charles Piazzi Smyth and R.A. Schwaller de Lubicz, who entertained a higher meaning to Egyptian architecture? Are these sites now being closed to technologically gifted explorers at a time when new proto-historic findings could serve to unite the various camps of thinkers and philosophers in the Near East on the basis of a grand history for all people?

We hope that newly discovered realities within the walls will not be limited to the few, and that there will be no concealment of important historical information that could bring a higher knowledge and unity to all humankind.
