Volunteers started looking for Amy

Did the witness see Amy in the truck?

CASE DETAILS

On July 2, 1998, 24-year-old Amy Bechtel went for a run among the tall trees of the Shoshone National Forest near Lander, Wyoming, and vanished. As police began to suspect foul play, Amy’s husband, Steve, became a key suspect.

Amy and Steve Bechtel had been married for a little more than a year.  Both loved the outdoors. It was running for Amy, and climbing for Steve.  They moved to Lander because its rugged terrain made it a perfect training ground.

July 2nd was a typical day for Amy and Steve. Steve was going rock-climbing with a friend. Amy had a long list of errands that day: call the phone company, get the gas turned on, buy home insurance.  Once those tasks were done, she would reward herself by planning a route for a 10k mountain run.

When Steve returned from his all-day climbing trip, Amy wasn't home yet. Steve’s friend Todd Skinner recalled his exchange with Steve:

“We were just talking casually and he asked about Amy, and … I said, ‘I don't know, last time I saw her she was okay.’”

Around 8:15 PM, Steve stopped in to see Todd and his wife.  He told them Amy still wasn't home.  Todd recalls that Steve seemed cool:

“He wasn't panicking by any means because it was still light, and still, you know, she could have been out doing something.  It was not an unordinary day for Amy.” 

Concerned, Todd and his wife Amy set out to search roads where Amy Bechtel most likely went running.  Steve stayed behind, hoping his wife would call.  At around 1 AM, Todd and Amy found Amy Bechtel’s car pulled off to the side of the road in an area where she might be expected to go for a run.

Todd Skinner recalled the discovery:

“We were relieved.  It was like, oh, man, we thought we'd found her.  So I walked up completely expecting her to be in the car.”

But Amy wasn’t in the car.  On hearing the news, Steve says he began to wonder if Amy hadn’t injured herself on her run: 

“At that point, it was relief, you know. And concern, because, you know, her car's still up there and it's after midnight and, you know, she's probably cold and maybe has a twisted ankle.”

Amy did not surface over the next 24 hours.  In the following days, more than 500 people scoured a 20-mile radius. After eight days, the massive search was called off.  Not a single clue was recovered.  In the aftermath, Fremont County Sheriff Dave King accused Steve of knowing much more than he was saying:

“We should have found Amy Bechtel, if she were a runner up there and nothing else entered the picture. Could she still be there? Yes. But given the circumstances, the lack of clues, I don't think she is.”

Steve Bechtel reacted to Sheriff King’s suspicions:

“I was pretty blown away, you know. And I turned to Dave, I was like, you know, ‘Dave, what's going on here? This is not cool.’”

When Sheriff King asked Steve to take a polygraph test, Steve called for legal counsel: 

“The guys says, ‘Look, if you take a polygraph test, we'll get this cleared up right now.’  And I was like, ‘Wait a minute’, you know? ‘If you guys are accusing me of something I didn't do, I'm going to want to talk to legal counsel here.’"

Kent Spence was Steve’s attorney:

“I wouldn't let any client take a lie detector test.  They're completely inaccurate.  They come in about 1/3 of the time as a false positive and it would be a terrible injustice to Steve if he fell within that 1/3 false positive and it was used wrongly against him.”

Deputies searched Steve and Amy’s home. Among the items they confiscated were a series of journals Steve had been keeping since high school.  Sheriff King found some of the writings incriminating:

“There are writings about power and death. Some about killing people.”

Amy’s brother, Nel Wroe, told the sheriff about one night when Amy and Steve were over for dinner. Nel noticed that Amy was bruised. Amy made a joke, saying that Steve can get a little rough sometimes.  Nel found Amy’s reaction odd:

“Amy just laughed it off, would not look me in the eye, and I said, that is not a normal reaction, particularly for Amy.”

Deputies also found a camper who claimed that on the day Amy disappeared, she had seen a blue pickup truck driving fast on the mountain close to where Amy's car was found.  A man was at the wheel and a blond woman in the passenger seat.  The next day, the camper saw the same truck at the search site. When police showed her a picture of Steve Bechtel’s truck, she identified it as the same one she had seen.

Sheriff David King summed up the case against Steve Bechtel:

“Statistically, he did it.  The first person we have to eliminate in a case where there may be foul play involved in one's disappearance is the person closest to that person.”

Sheriff's investigators also believed there were incriminating gaps in Steve's activities that day, time when he could have harmed his wife.  But Todd Skinner’s wife, Amy, doesn’t see how Steve would have had the opportunity to be involved in Amy’s disappearance:

“He was with people all that afternoon and evening, so I don’t have any question about that.  He just didn't have the time.”

However, according to phone records, Steve made a call from his house at 4:43 that afternoon.  That's about the same time the camper saw what she alleged was his truck on the mountain road -- a 45 minute drive from the Bechtels' home.

Investigators also believed Steve's journals showed a desire for power and control that may have led to murder. Todd Skinner strongly disagreed.  He says the writings were taken out of context in order to make Steve look more capable of the crime:

“A psychologist can read anything into any writing that you can ever wish to put in there.  And to me, I've never seen more innocuous writing taken out of context more heavily to, you know, to a worse result.”

Seven years after she disappeared, Steve had Amy declared dead.  He has since re-married:

“I don't feel like me going in and getting attacked is going to solve any problems. I feel like, you know, I went and I tried to work with Dave and it didn't work out.  And, you know, things need to get solved a different way now.”

The community of Lander, Wyoming, is still divided over whether Steve Bechtel murdered his wife. Steve believes a stranger could have kidnapped her or a motorist could have accidentally struck Amy, and in a panic, disposed of her body. 

Amy’s family is not convinced. They want Steve to take a polygraph test.

Unsolved mysteries - Missing - LAURIA BIBLE & ASHLEY FREEMAN

Two teenage girls are missing after bodies are found in a burned out trailer.

Ashley Freeman and Lauria Bible

The Freeman’s home was an inferno

CASE DETAILS

Two bodies were found in the ashes

Vinita, Oklahoma, is a small rural town in Craig County. On December 29, 1999, local teenager Ashley Freeman turned 16. It was a night of celebration for her parents and for her best friend Lauria Bible. Lauria's father, Jay, recalled the last time he saw his daughter:

"Lauria, she said to me, 'Daddy, is it all right if I spend the night with Ashley in the Freemans' home?'   I said, 'Well, just make sure you're home by noon tomorrow.' And, noon tomorrow didn't happen the way it should've."

Sometime during the night, the Freemans' home became an inferno. By the time Lauria's parents arrived the fire was out, but the home had been reduced to ashes. Lauria's car was still there, but there was no sign of their daughter. Lorene Bible talked to the coroner:

"The county coroner told me that there was only one body, is all they found.   I said, 'Have they found anybody else?' And she said no. They've looked, but there's no other bodies there."

Sheriff’s deputies took polygraph tests

The body was Kathy Freeman's, the mother of Lauria's friend Ashley.   But where were Ashley, her father Danny, and Lauria Bible?   According to Captain Jim Herman of the Craig County Sheriff's Department, even the authorities were stumped:

"We only had one body accounted for. Could find no others. Yet we had all the cars there at the house.   That was a little bit bizarre. No one could quite piece two and two together on that.   It didn't make any sense."

Then the case became even more baffling when the coroner determined Kathy Freeman did not die in the fire, but from a shotgun wound to the head. The arson squad concluded that the blaze was deliberately set.  

According to Lorene Bible, her daughter Lauria and Ashley had been best friends since kindergarten:

"Lauria and Ashley would call each other at least once a week. What one was thinking, the other was thinking. It's kind of like when two people, one can finish the sentence when the other one starts one."

The girls weren’t found after the fire

The day after the fire, Lauria's parents returned to the crime scene. They hoped to find a clue the investigators had missed. After only 5 minutes, they made a shocking discovery: another body, almost burned beyond recognition. But it wasn't Lauria or Ashley.   According to Lorene, it was an adult male, and he, too, had been shot:

"He did not have anything from the upper teeth; all the way to the top of his head, was totally gone, like he'd been shot in the face."

The body was identified as Danny Freeman, Kathy's husband. And like Kathy, he had also been shot at close range with a shotgun. Investigators re-examined the crime scene and found no other bodies. However, they did find one important clue: Lauria's purse. In it were her driver's license and nearly $200 in cash. Lorene wondered why her daughter would leave her purse, unless she had been abducted:

"I felt that somebody had gone in there, and for whatever reason, murdered Danny and Kathy and took the girls."

The Craig County Sheriff's Department tried to piece together what happened the night of Ashley's birthday. If it had been a robbery, the purse would have been taken. And if murder was the motive, who had reason to kill Danny and Kathy Freeman, Ashley's parents?   Danny himself may have had the answer, which he revealed to his brother, Dwayne Vancil:

"He put his finger in my face and he said, 'If anything ever happens to me, look at the sheriff's department.'   And he was serious. He was in my face to drive it home with me."

For months, it had been rumored that the Craig County Sheriff's Department was feuding with the Freemans. It all began when Danny's son, Shane, was shot and killed by a deputy after he had stolen a truck and a neighbor's gun. Shane's killing was ruled justifiable, but the Freemans threatened to file a wrongful death lawsuit against the sheriff's department.   According to Dwayne, his brother told him the deputies were trying to intimidate him and his family:

"He was basically told, according to Danny, that they could do anything they wanted to him and his family, and there wasn't a thing he could do about it."

When Danny and Kathy Freeman were found dead, the Craig County Sheriff's Department voluntarily turned the case over to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation. They also consented to polygraph tests. Special Agent Steve Nutter, of the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation, said the polygraphs were conclusive:

"All cleared themselves as a result of those examinations. The overall conclusion of our efforts was that the sheriff's office had nothing to do with the murders of Danny and Kathy and did not know the whereabouts of the two missing girls."

There was another possibility.   Some people said that Danny was a small-time drug trafficker and wondered if a drug deal gone bad had led to the double murder. Agent Nutter discounted that theory:

"If you wanted to consider that it was drug related, nothing fits correctly. The very last thing that the people who committed the murder would want to do would be to abduct the children."

There was yet another theory: Ashley Freeman murdered her own parents and then fled with Lauria. Captain Jim Herman of the Craig County Sheriff's Department said he had to consider the possibility:

"There was a great deal of friction in the Freeman household. Danny and his daughter did not get along well at all and hadn't for some time. That's something we can't overlook."

Agent Nutter doesn't think the girls were capable of murder:

"I find it difficult to believe that the girls, by themselves, could hide out that long and not be found."

Jay and Lorene Bible were left with only unanswered questions. Where were Lauria and Ashley and why had they left?

Lorene Bible:

"We have come to the conclusion that Lauria was in the wrong place at the wrong time.   I feel that she's still alive, but whether she's alive or dead, I want to know."

Jay Bible:

"We love her dearly and wish we could have her back, wish we could have both girls back, because at this point, I'd take and raise 'em both and never let 'em go."

In a bizarre twist no one saw coming, a death row inmate, Jeremy B. Jones, confessed to killing Danny and Kathy Freeman. He said he did it as a favor to a friend over a drug debt. Jones claimed that he took the two girls to Kansas, shot them, and threw their bodies into an abandoned mine. A search of the mine, however, turned up nothing. Jones then recanted his confession and denied he killed the girls. He said he lied to authorities to get better food and extra phone privileges in prison.

Investigators are now back to square one.  

Unsolved Mysteries - Strange Artifacts - Raising the Djed... contd

The Djed - Introduction

It is in man’s nature to show off the symbols of his power and the means by which the power is achieved. For example, the symbols of a gun or a hammer and sickle on a flag represent man’s struggle towards progress.

If you were to show an image of a gun to our ancestors, I suspect that he would have no idea what its real function was. Our ancestors could interpret it as some type of cart or chariot. Have the Egyptians left clues in the hieroglyphic symbols that we just cannot see? I carefully observed and researched the pharaoh’s temple and burial chambers. Could the answers lie there?
The photos below show funerary furniture depicting the Djed, ankh, sceptre and Tyet symbols from the tomb of Tutankhamen, now exhibited at the Cairo museum.

At this time, I had no idea what the symbols meant, so I used the Internet to research the specific meaning of each symbol. The ankh “looped cross” is said by scholars to represent the breath of life, but its true meaning remains a mystery to Egyptologists. Some have speculated that it represents a stylized womb. Sir Alan Gardiner (Egyptian Grammar Oxford University Press June 1957) speculated that it represents a sandal strap, with the loop going around the ankle. However, no single hypothesis has yet been widely accepted. The ‘Was’ or sceptre pictured either side of the ankh was carried by deities as a sign of their power. It is also depicted being carried by kings and later by people of lesser stature in mortuary scenes. Notwithstanding this, no real explanation has been given of its original function.

Regarding the tyet or tiet symbol, its exact origin is unknown. In many respects, it resembles an ankh except that its arms curve down. Its meaning is also reminiscent of the ankh; it is often translated to mean welfare or life. As early as the Third Dynasty, the tiet is used as decoration when it appears with the djed column, and later with the ‘was’ scepter. The tiet is associated with Isis and is often called "the knot of Isis" or "the blood of Isis." It seems to be called "the knot of Isis" because it resembles a knot used to secure garments that the gods wore. Thus, once again there are no real answers regarding the original form or function.

Lastly, the question arises concerning the djed symbol right, and pictured left and next to the tyet, ‘What could it possibly represent, and why is it next to the tyet?’ Why do both symbols sit on quarter round shaped bowls? The djed is one of the most recognizable symbols of ancient Egypt. I decided to concentrate my initial analysis there.

The Djed

The Egyptian pharaohs carried a talisman called a Djed, which represented power and stability. As I mentioned it is the most recognizable symbol of ancient Egypt. 
It is often depicted standing on a square base. Some show the pillar portrayed with human arms holding the ankh and a flail. Some scholars have suggested that the djed represents fertility or the more widely accepted view is that the djed represents strength and stability.

The ceremony of "Raising the Dejed"

The djed was a popular amulet and all of its meanings are represented in (Laurie Schneider Adams, Jacques Szaluta Psychoanalysis and the Humanities Psychology Press UK 1996). The ceremony of ‘Raising the Djed’ (pictured above) was an important Egyptian festival. The Djed was considered necessary to help transform human flesh into the spiritual form assumed by the deceased in eternity. In order to protect and transform the flesh into the spiritual form, a pyramid is needed. 
The question then arises ‘How can the djed protect and transform?’

Djed

I studied the picture of the djed (above) for about three hours. I asked myself ‘Could the crook fit over the small protrusion at the top of the djed?’ This idea led me to imagine the column in three dimensions, like some type of round post.

The four cross bars would now look like spools. Then, so to speak, the penny dropped! I view the Djed as a capstan, a tall capstan with three roped spools, two for power and one for rewinding the ropes. It would be similar to a winch or windlass but would have the ability to act as a primitive slip clutch. To operate a conventional capstan, capstan bars or long poles are inserted in holes over the wasp or waisted drum. Sailors would rotate the mechanism by walking around the capstan pushing on the levers. A rope wrapped tightly around the centre of the capstan would draw the ship to the dockside or pull huge loads onboard. A capstan would provide the necessary sustained torque to haul up the anchor. Thus, the spools replaced the levers. Rotating the capstan or djed is now dependent on the amount of men pulling on the spooled ropes rather than the number of men walking around the mechanism. Cheop’s solar boat was buried next to the great pyramid. It was discovered after the Second World War. Egyptian life revolved around the sea and the Nile River. The use of ropes and rigging would be second nature to the inhabitants. The Djed represents an adaptation of well known and commonly used technology.

I decided to build a model of the Djed. The dimensions and precise shape of the Djed were taken from my imagination. If I was to be taken seriously, the model would have to work. I visited my local wood supplier and purchased a newel post, a length of wood found at the top or bottom of a staircase that held the hand rails in position. The newel post was the size I required for what I envisaged, the construction of a quarter scale model. Three spools were fashioned out of a sheet of MDF fibreboard. I then attached sash ropes to the top and bottom spools and wound them in a clockwise direction, and wound the centre spool rope in an anticlockwise direction.

The flared base of the Djed was constructed from 2 mm plywood and several tins of car body filler. To rotate the mechanism one would need some type of pivot or bearing underneath the flared base. This was made from a mold, I used a cereal bowl and, once again, copious quantities of car body filler. 
The pivot base was made from gypsum plaster. To make this, I fashioned a box roughly 6 inches high and 12 inches square. I then poured in the plaster and set in the wet plaster a reverse mold of the Djed base.

  

The inverted Djed column (pictured left) resembles the stone columns at Karnack Temple. Could the mysterious shaped columns at Karnack represent other parts of the machine? A questionable point but certainly a question worthy of further investigation.
I tested the Djed model which was able to pull 120 pounds up a 10 degree slope. The two pullers required very little effort to raise the bricks. The first photograph shows the Djed balanced by the hand the second person rewinds the mechanism by walking backwards. The third person tightens the tow rope against the
base of the Djed. In the second photograph, the Djed is at the start of its first rotation. As the workers pull the ropes, the sledge laden with bricks ascends.
 

The djed, therefore, represents a simple vertical rotating second class lever, made of wood revolving in a stone pivot, similar to the bow drill but obviously on a much larger scale. The djed probably started life as a very large drill. It was  stated earlier that as the drill increased in size so too did the bow. The circumference of the drill shaft and the length of the bow string limited the number of rotations it could turn. To increase the number of rotations acting on the drill bit, the bow would be removed and separate roped spools added (see diagram below). This act of separating the ropes also protects them from the effects of abrading each other, as noted earlier. The number of rotations is now dependent on the length of the rope wrapped around the drill shaft. Increasing the length of the rope also increases the circumference of the spool when it is fully rewound. In my experiments this had a variable gearing effect with a ratio of approximately 4 to 1; producing torsion and rotation about an axis, or in layman’s terms torque. These ropes will now be referred to as power ropes. It is uncontroversial for us to accept that the Egyptians had the means and the know how to rotate a shaft. Coincidentally, the top view of the djed pictured below is similar to the hieroglyph Ra.

 

The Method

To convert this rotating shaft into a winch would only need a second rope (known as a tow rope) to be wrapped tightly around the base of the revolving shaft. Control of the tow rope would be essential. If the shaft was unaltered, that is if it remained straight in profile, the ability to predict the ropes course up and down the shaft whilst being drawn in on the tow would be unknown. If the tow rope traveled too far up the shaft the weight of the stone acting on the rotating lever would be too great and ultimately it would be pulled from its bearing; if it traveled too far down, it would be entangled against the base pivot stone and the shaft. Again, this would be most undesirable.

Control was regained by adding the flared base. As with a modern winch, this flared base kept the rope at a constant height. With the tow rope at a constant height, the pressure needed to keep the shaft in a vertical position would decrease and be easier to control. In summary, the djed is a vertical static winch that draws a line towards itself. It is said that a picture can speak a thousand words. In the above illustration, the Djed is in the bottom left and sits in what has been described by historians as altar stones. It can be added that at this point in my research I had no precise idea where the djed was positioned on the pyramid step. I did realize, however, that the crook was a tool that kept the djed in balance. I also wondered whether there were any other symbols that could have been used as tools. In my mind’s eye, I could see the djed positioned at varying heights along the horizontal step. Perhaps the position of the alter stone was the ‘base’ described by Herodotus. It is submitted that the ancient Egyptians balanced the Djed with a crook on the level above the base. This upper level can be described as rows. The only problem with the theory of a static winch is that the line or load to be lifted would be drawn up a single ramp towards the djed. This necessitates the need for
a second djed winch to operate in the opposite direction and thus requires a second ramp. This raises the question ’What did the ancient Egyptians construct the ramps with?’ It is submitted that the answer is relatively straightforward and obvious. The Egyptians used stone in all kinds of elaborate ways they cut statues and obelisks directly from the bedrock. So the natural progression for a race of people with this ability would be to use stone for building a ramp. Why import sand and rubble when it was possible to use the natural talents of the mason, thereby saving time and effort.
 

The stones pictured at the Sun Temple of Niuserre were 
possibly removable pivot or altar stones.

If there were many machines, they would have required many pivot stones. It is my belief that the stones pictured in the photograph (above) at the Sun Temple of Niuserre were removable pivot or altar stones. The small holes surrounding the ratchet mechanism were probably for lubrication. The Djed column would have rested in this stone. A hole drilled into the stone can clearly be seen on observation of the left hand side of the first stone in the picture. A rope placed through this hole would have given the mechanism the ability to be pulled to any location. 
Further investigation has confirmed that all of the pivot stones at Abusir, of which nine are visible, all have a similar large hole. The djed winch has been described as the backbone of Osiris. If the djed winch sat in the above pivots, would it not have been prudent for the ancient Egyptians to store them in the “Place of Osiris”?
The base of the Djed would need to have had some type of break. The picture (at right) shows a simple form of break ratchet.

This would have allowed the mechanism to revolve freely one way but not the other. This ratchet acted on the round protrusions carved onto the perimeter of the pivot stone. If the rising stone started to slip backwards down the ramp, the djed would have tipped and the breaking mechanism would have automatically stopped the stone. A controlled descent of the stone could have then been achieved by releasing tension on the tow rope.

Unsolved Mysteries - Strange Artifacts - Raising the Djed

Speculations regarding the technical abilities of our ancestors abound but one burning question shrouded in mystery stands out from our past, ‘How did the Egyptians raise the pyramid stones that were the backbone of its construction?’ If this knowledge was lost with the decline of the ancient world, all we can do is wonder and investigate the how and the why! Secrets locked in the past.
The work and dedication of countless scholars, especially the archaeological fraternity, have been invaluable to modern science. However, if the solution to the
mystery of the pyramids was dependent on academic qualifications, it could be argued that surely it should have been solved years ago. Scholars maintain that the Egyptians left no written records relating to the construction of the pyramids.
The theory proposed in this work is based on man’s ability to learn and adapt known technology of the time, with basic materials and a large dose of ingenuity.
I was taught that man evolved from prehistoric caves, learnt how to make fire, hunt for food then progressed to domesticate animals and ultimately farming. To me this represented a learning curve, that our ancestors were perhaps less intelligent than ourselves at the beginning of this time line. Intelligence in general terms is a mental capability that, among other things, involves the ability to reason, plan, solve problems, it also reflects a broader and deeper capability for comprehending our surroundings "catching on," "making sense" of things, or "figuring out" what to do, think abstractly, comprehend complex ideas, learn quickly and most of all learn from experience’. When modern man fails to answer a mystery, it can be said that this knowledge has surpassed modern man, perhaps indicating that modern man is not so intelligent after all. Perhaps we have all made erroneous assumptions regarding our ancestors which have, in turn lead us to this dead end of being unable to solve the mystery. Answers to these questions are sometimes more complex than we can imagine, but holding on to established theories as the truth regardless of other possible hypotheses or explanations would no doubt hold back man’s progress. People look at the same evidence and interpret it differently, that’s just human nature. We all have our unique perspective, and see and interpret according to it. The building blocks of history are built on the interpretations of our peers of archaeological artefacts and ancient texts left by our ancestors. We depend on this information to help know our place in the universe, to understand where we have come from, where we are going and how are we going to get there. A significant percentage of what we know of our past is based on theory and conjecture, or educated guesses. Often, it is the simplest answer that’s the hardest to accept. If we fail to answer these and many other secrets of the past we are doing a disservice not only to our ancestors but also to ourselves, and to the generations to come. So, this inevitably raises the question ‘Why have I written this book when the bookshelves of our libraries groan under the weight of pyramid theories?’ Well that’s a story in itself. I intend to demonstrate through an analysis of current interpretation that the ancients did leave clues within the stories of myth that they told, and the hieroglyphic symbols they left behind. The analysis will be accompanied with models specifically built to test this theory. In this model building process, one can see the concept in action, and the associated problems that have to be overcome during pyramid construction. It is argued in this work that the ancient Egyptians possessed a construction technique unknown to modern man. They also had the ability to quarry and process stone at an alarming rate.
I do not regard myself as a free thinker or believe that aliens or giants raised the pyramid stones. I am just an average guy who challenges widely held ideas and theories and suggests an alternative interpretation based on common sense. The Egyptians built it; all we have to do is figure out is how. “It’s that easy, but where do you start?” Unless stated otherwise, all images have been provided by the author.
 

The Holiday

The story starts in the summer of 2004, when my wife and I toured an ancient Greek temple site named Olympia. This site marked the origin of the Olympic Games. Our guide, a young girl studying at university, told us stories of the ancient Greeks, and spoke of mysteries and the gods. Being a good orator, she held our attention with her tails of mystery and myth but some of her explanations led me to question her knowledge. This was the first time I had ever questioned the viewpoint of an academic. I was intrigued with the ancient buildings that surrounded the area, and the techniques that were used to construct such massive monuments at a time when no motorized mechanical machines existed.

How did they build such monumental structures like the temples of Olympia or in-fact the Parthenon without the aid of computer models and electronic communications, not to mention the logistical problems of labour, food and transport? I started to investigate the possible ways in which these buildings could have been constructed. Scholars admit, voiced by Manolis Korres (The stones of the Parthenon, Melissa 2000 page 7) ‘that even with today’s high powered electric and petrol engines, and the use of powered tools and modern machinery, it would be impossible to construct a replica of the Parthenon today’.
So ‘How did they do it?’ After considerable thought and discussions, I proposed a little ramp theory and a new method of construction.

The basic idea indicates that the grooves in the column drums at most temple sites are an aid to construction. In the diagram below is a single column drum protected by quarter round battens cut to match the shape of an inverted cypress tree.

The tapering of the column is a direct effect of using a tree to protect the groove. You can now roll the drums without chipping or damaging the stone. The grooves in the drum can be pre-cut to support the batten, or left smooth and cut later, depending on the weight and spacing between the columns.

 

Pictured above is a hypothetical set up of the construction site. The idea is simple. Drums are arranged into a square base and successive drums are rolled into position using small platforms between each drum. The battens that protect the drum also act as support for the platforms. In this scenario, drums are rolled in an anti-clockwise fashion.

To gain height, small ramps are positioned between each drum. The pusher has a small area to rest on the top of each drum. The pusher goes up the ramp and then rests, and proceeds up to the next ramp and then takes another rest. In this way, the construction workers make what initially looks like a daunting task, simple. Finally, all the column stones to complete the structure are pulled up in a designated order, with the highest placed stones being brought up first and so on. You now lower the drums down the little ramps, assembling the temple from the top down. You may think that I am way off topic talking about the ancient Greeks. However, the general consensus of opinion is that the Greeks obtained their technical ability from the Egyptians and according to George Sarton, (A History of Science Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1952) Sarton points out that ‘the Greeks did not suddenly “invent” science: “the Greek ‘miracle’ was prepared by millennia of work in Egypt, Mesopotamia, and possibly other regions’. Since my hypothesis started at the ancient site of Olympia, it is only fitting for this work to begin here.

What the Egyptians Knew

I wondered whether this hypothesis of the ‘little ramp theory’ had its roots set back further in time, and whether it could be adapted to other buildings. Could the hypothesis hold true for support both the construction of temples in Greece and of the pyramids in Egypt? To begin the investigation, it may be pertinent to mention reverse engineering, a common way of developing a hypothesis to explain the construction of a particular thing. There are countless mysteries the solution for which there may be many clues.
However, if because of an erroneous hypothesis, or because of the perspective of the researcher, these clues are not fully understood or not recognized, the enigma and the mystery will remain. Conversely, if the hypothesis is correct, it should solve some, if not all, the secrets.
Clearly, stability and having stable platform from which to work were absolutely necessary. The Egyptians knew the value of kinetic energy and the value of increasing the pressure to a cutting tool.

You can see evidence of this in the picture above. The efficiency of the drill was reinforced by the addition of the weights, probably in the form of sand which was placed in leather bags and steadied with string on the rod of the drill. There is also evidence that the Egyptians used lathes and drills, as seen in the Cairo museum (top right).

Pictured left is a painting from the 5th dynasty tomb of Ty at Saqqara. It shows two carpenters using a bow drill on a piece of wooden furniture. The man on the right is pushing the drill onto the wood with a capstone, while the other is rotating the drill by moving the bow backwards and forwards. The bow can also be used to operate a cutting wheel.

Bows and arrows have been present in Egyptian culture since predynastic times. The ancient bow evolved from the ability to make fire, and by rubbing two sticks by hand. A natural progression of this would be to rotate the sticks by another method; evolution involves a continuous process of adaptation. This art of making fire
from our natural surroundings is still practiced today.

An example can be seen with The Society of Primitive Technology, Rexburg USA an organization dedicated to the research, practice, and teaching of primitive technology, it promotes the practice and teaching of indigenous life skills. The components of the bow drill consist of the spindle, the hearthboard, the bow and the bearing block. Downward pressure is applied by pushing down on the bearing block. The spindle is rotated by pushing the bow backwards and forwards. In the photo above, notice the left thumb is used to push down on the string to separate the string as the spindle is rotating. This keeps the strings from abrading each other. Also in the photo, the right wrist is locked into the shin of the right leg to stabilize the rotating spindle. (Maintaining stability is an important point which will be discussed later.)

A leaf is then placed underneath the notch to catch the char dust. A consistent sawing motion is used to create char build-up in the notch. Once the spindle on the hearthboard begins to smoke, the char dust ignites into an ember.

 

The glowing ember is then transferred from the leaf to the tinder bundle, and animal down is placed in the tinder bundle (see photo at left). This helps to extend the fire of the ember. The tinder bundle is then blown into in order to ignite the ember.  One of the problems inherent in the bow drill friction fire method is when trying to start a fire with a bow drill. First, the cord is not wrapped tightly enough around the spindle so that the cord slips and the spindle stop’s spinning. Increased rubbing also weakens the cord away or the spindle then slides out of the socket and propelled by the increasing tension in the string, it flies through the air. The ancient Egyptians came up with a solution. They placed an extra long cord on the bow and either tied the middle of the cord around the spindle or passed the cord through a hole drilled in the middle of the spindle. Next, they wrapped the extra length of cord around the spindle. This made slippage of the cord impossible and it prevented the spindle from flipping into someone's eye. This non-slip connection between the cord and spindle may also allow the use of a thinner, weaker cord. Pictures courtesy of Dick Baugh primitive ways.

A natural progression for the bow drill is to fit a cutting bit to the tip. Again, the ancient Egyptians came up with this idea themselves. Denys Stocks, an Egyptologist who has studied and tested ancient Egyptian tools for more than two decades, in his book (Experiments in Egyptian Archaeology Publisher, Routledge 2003 ) Stocks experimented with copper tools that the ancients used.

A copper tube can be fixed to the tip of the shaft. This transforms the rotating shaft into a drill. Stocks found that the bow drill relied on the quartzite in sand to do the actual cutting. It was found that this tubular copper drill was able to cut at a ratio of three to one (i.e., one inch in depth of stone cut would wear out three inches of copper tube). As the drill increased in size, so the dimensions of bow had to increase accordingly. However, there must come a point when the bow becomes ineffective and difficult to hold.  The reader is probably wondering what bow drills have got to do with building the pyramids. Please stay with me and hopefully all will become clear. So, the Egyptians possessed this early drilling machine. However, was anything written in the ancient texts that is pertinent to this constructional theory?

Unsolved mysteries - The Forbidden Letters - Part 2... Contd

PS by Philip Gardiner

"The Paris 4 contacted me and asked me to listen to their viewpoints on the Grail legend. I get this quite a lot as you may understand. I recently spent time in a foreign land on the trail of information given to me by a very real secret society and this will become part of a new book.

I listened to the information the Paris 4 were sending, and I thoroughly enjoyed their interpretation, whilst having reservations on why they wished to remain secret. I can still only assume it may have something to do with the gay aspect spoken of in their work or maybe they just want to remain private - either way I respect their judgement as I would for anybody else.

The information came thick and fast and I was quite enjoying, if not totally agreeing, with what I was reading. Then something strange happened. Almost everybody on my own forum started being hacked. My emails and the Paris 4's emails were intercepted and we seemingly started saying bad things against each other. I closed up and refused to listen to anymore. Then we both found that somebody had been messing with our emails. Some people on my forum also had the same thing and eventually we all managed to get filters and god knows what else to stop it.

Next I contacted, or they contact me - can't remember and don't care - the Paris 4. We sorted it out and we actually found that we quite liked each other and so carried on. The next set of their "letters" have now been posted on your site and of course are there for people to read and take from them what they will.

I am, though, sending this because I believe a little balance needs bringing in and because I am getting a few emails asking me what my own opinion is on the information the Paris 4 are supplying. Well, my own opinion is that I cannot agree with all I read and much of it is already in the public domain anyhow. Other extensive parts I agree with completely. That said, their research is complex and their insight into the "internal" world of the mind, that of somebody who has obviously experienced such things. I do have issues with the kundalini that I will be releasing in the future once a paper that myself and a leading psychologist have prepared is peer reviewed, but until that point I would only say to people that the kundalini can be a truly enlightening thing or a terrible thing - just like Catholicism or cults or communism or anything else we tie our hopes, dreams and lives to. This opinion is, I know, very controversial, but then I have never been afraid of controversy.

What seems to be happening is a spread of these Letters and the so-called secrets they hold, which if proven correct isn't a bad thing and if incorrect then at least they are out in the open for people to make up their own minds. I am firmly of the opinion (because I believe in very little) that the information from the Paris 4 is a great starting point for discussion as we have seen across the net. I think it has inspired people to "think" and thats good. I think my contact in the Paris 4 is a gentleman and a scholar and that he has only true and good intentions and I can fully relate to that.

For me, I am evading the kundalini and inner "fire" from now on because I have researched it to death and our new "paper" is my final word (unless something else crops up). My future is looking very strange for me actually as I am currently hacking out 3 tv documentaries and a reality tv show that I have been asked to put together. I am about to go off and film for a new Channel 4 doc too on secret societies and then its back to New York for more chat shows before the Da Vinci Code comes out. Added to that I have just finished 2 new books which should be out next year. So, as you can probably tell, the Forbidden Letters, the Paris 4 and myself are at an end of our discussions and correspondence, as I simply do not have time to follow it up and I think they were nearly at an end anyhow. I would suggest that this is somebody else's role now not mine.

My best to all the good people who read this wonderful website, my warmest wishes and thanks to the Paris 4 and especially my contact (who I can't name), especially as they have given me such an amazing amount of undeserving publicity!

May truth, honour, justice, compassion and above all love be your guides.

Philip Gardiner, 2006."

I also have a new site, http://www.freewebs.com/grailhunters/, set up to answer some of the issues being raised by the Paris 4 and other things...

* * *

Note: The Paris 4 have requested the following to be added in to the PS:

We have one little request though. It is not clearly stated in your PS that is was us who proposed to stop the contact because we felt everything has been said. This is so important, because from the PS as published now people think we might have more information, and we don't.

Unsolved mysteries - The Forbidden Letters - Part 2

Here is some extra information on The Forbidden Letters  taken from emails sent to Philip Gardiner 
by the Paris 4 between November 10, 2005 and January 29, 2006.

The Paris 4.

---

1.

In letter number two we wrote 'this fire will, after it is tuned down, produce in many years the Kingdom within. It grows like a plant...' etc.

We were summarizing there a little bit to boldly. For, it is not the fire which does that. The fire lasts for about 20 minutes and then stops. Our gay man tells us that after that fire about 36 hours later the top chakra opens.

India says this is the last chakra to open, but it's just the other way around. The top chakra is an 'airy' chakra, not a bodily chakra, like the other ones, who are to open after the Night of the Soul. This top chakra has two exits. On top of the skull, and on the forehead, but not between the eyebrows, the famous third eye chakra, or Ajna-chakra.

The front-exit of the top-chakra is about 4 centimeters above the eyebrows. The ajna-chakra (between the eyebrows), is, again, not to be opened till after the Night of the Soul, like all other bodily (non 'airy') chakra's too.

We don't know why there is a period of 14 (!) years between the Kundalini and the Night of the Soul. Perhaps the top chakra is in a way preparing the body/soul for the Night of the Soul.

There is no Kundalini involved in the Night of the Soul.

2.

A correction on Letter number five. It is not Parzival, but Gawan who has to fight the lion. This makes no difference alchemically. Because Parzival, Gawan, Anfortas, Feirefiz, plus the beheaded man (Sigunes?) are all one and the same person. They all represent different stages in the Work of the Sun. One is guarding the Stone, another one figthing the lion (Night of the Soul), and yet another one is beheaded.

3.

On your question, mister Gardiner: (on being gay) is that the one sided male, or rather 'the place between'?

Our gay man is, as we wrote earlier, Anfortas too. Meaning that he has that mysterious pain in his left testicle. That pain started a few months before his Kundalini. It is described by von Eschenbach in his Parzival. Especcialy the part about the wound getting cold as ice is correct (there is no visible wound on our gay man though).

During the months that lead up to the resurrection the pain gets worse and worse. In the end he had difficulties of walking even. This pain made it impossible for our man to have sex. And there we have the famous sperm-saving-theory from Tantra.

Now, we don't think you can simply raise the Kundalini-snake by not having sex for a few months. The gate to Paradise would be very public indeed then. But it is somehow needed too, that 'not wasting sperm'.

Our theory: the stone is either also composed of libido (pychic energy) saved in those months, or the saved libido is the 'fuel' to the Kundalini (not only needing that/ see our remark about the Gate to Paradise). We don't know. The odd thing though is that after the resurrection the pain is lowered, but it stays there (even till today).

This might mean the following thing: we once heard that in a physical hermaphrodite (and our man is not a physical hermaphrodite, he's built normally/ we think the original mythical hermaphrodite is describing microcosmic balance of the male and female and that this term is later used by doctors of medicine to name a physically mixed up human being), that in a physical hermaphrodite the left testicle is often missing, but the left ovarium is there (in the body ofcourse). So, the left testicle in our gay man is perhaps the microcosmic left ovarium. And shakti (Kundalini) is said to be female. Perhaps the microcosmic female ovarium in our gay man doesn't tolerate the female shakti (++ gives repulsion + - attraction).

Although, that doesn't explain why the pain started months before Kundalini. Perhaps the shakti was growing because he was not getting orgasms anymore. And in him that (the increase of shakti/the female force) would result in the famous testicle-pain, because he possesses that famous balance in male/female forces. Just sharing this with you. We don't understand this either,
what is causing what?

But what about The Gospel of Thomas, 114? Simon Peter said to them, "Make Mary leave us, for females don't deserve life." Jesus said, "Look, I will guide her to make her male, so that she too may become a living spirit resembling you males. For every female who makes herself male will enter the kingdom of Heaven."

In other words: can't females be resurrected because the microcosmic female (Kundalini) wouldn't be tolerated in the macrocosmic female?

People are very uneasy with this logon. We understand. So are we. That uneasy even, that some say 'this logon is added to the Gospel' without giving evidence to that adding. We feel that we had to discuss the logon within the stuff on the resurrection nevertheless.

4.

Then, you asked us whether 'we would recommend the use of drugs as part of the process' 
(of resurrection).

Philip, the grail is not on drugs.

5.

A little metallic like wheel (like in a clock) starts to spin in the decapitated head, either on the left side, or the right side (our gay man doesn't remember), near the ear and then, spinning fast, makes a 90 degree move to the forehead. (We can't help thinking about Revelation/ the sign on the foreheads.)

6.

One is on the floor during resurrection and if one wakes up the next morning one discovers that one is firmly attached to the floor at two points: the coccyx and the back of the head. (So the spine is 'straight' and the snake can escape through a 'straight' spine?) It took our gay man 30 minutes to free himself. The coccyx was very painfull for days.

7.

The answer to the question: which God was conceived through homosexual union: Thot, the later Hermes. Father of Alchemy.

Pellerano has that story on dragonkeypress:

"Sexual Magick cites another incident in Egyptian Myth where Seth lusts after his brother Horus and seduces him. Horus stealthily applies the sperm of Seth onto a lettuce, the preferred food of Seth. Seth eats the lettuce, is impregnated thereby and gives birth to Thoth."

"Thoth, conceived through homosexual union, dually represents the creative act that is both divine and artistic, especially in relation to literature. Thoth is traditionally the god of wisdom, scribes, and the occult arts; he is also associated with “the Word.” The concept of “the Word” is of supreme importance in the creation myths embraced by esoteric schools of Judeo-Christianity. God is said to have uttered the words that emanated forth the spheres of creation. Language and godly powers are closely related in mysticism. This concept is resonant in the sacred or generative powers attributed to alphabets such as Hebrew and Sanskrit."

"Since alchemy is generally suspected to have originated in Egypt, Egyptian mythology is particularly pertinent to alchemical lore. The Greek personification of Thoth, who features highly in the art of alchemy, elucidates the connection even further. For the alchemist, Thoth is the equivalent of the all-encompassing genius, Hermes Trismegistus. Trismegistus was said to be the greatest of all kings, priests, and philosophers; and was, if viewed vis-à-vis the Egyptian myth, the product of homosexual love."

8.

We (and that includes our gay man) in Letter number four said that we never saw the source manuscripts of the New Testament. So how can our gay man ensure us (because that's what we write too) that 'most of the manuscripts is found back in the parabels of 'Jesus' about the Kingdom of God'?

Our gay man was informed about the manuscripts in emails in 2000, just before his night of the soul. By a mailer on an alchemy-website. This man informed him that the manuscripts were packed with alchemy in farmer-allegory (like in the Gospel). But how, you will ask, did our gay man know so sure that his informant was speaking the truth? He didn't. But he decided to trust him because of a very odd incident. A very odd incident indeed.

For that anonymous mailer could tell our gay man about his sexual fetish. A thing our gay man had only shared with a few lovers. And it was our gay man who contacted the mailer, not the other way around. Because if it would have been the other way around, it could simply have been an ex-boy-friend having a pratical joke ofcourse.

Our gay man admits that he is, therefor, not absolutely sure about the theory on the manuscripts from 120 BCE, but that he trusted the man's statement, because he could tell precisely about his (our gay man's) deepest sexual feelings. The header of the email in which the informer told our gay man about his feelings was 'Adam Kadmon will give you a foot, instead of a hand.'

9.

(taken from a Forum)

"Researchers found that the shape of the human skull has changed significantly over the past 650 years. Modern people possess less prominent features, but higher foreheads than our medieval ancestors. Writing in the Britsh Dental Journal, the team took careful measurements of groups of skulls spanning across 30 generations. The scientists said the differences between past and present skull shapes were "striking"."

In the Forbidden Letters it is said that he 'who overcomes' the aggression impulses of the Night of the Soul will successfully produce the lightbody. You need higher brain function (neo cortex) to ride that bull of aggression impulses, and it is said in The Letters that Alchemy is the "end goal"of evolution too.

10.

One of us has read in literature about 15 years ago that 'Melchisedek opened the earth for Christ' (it's a detail on Melchisedek not given in the Bible). Christ has descended too in the earth, only here, Christianity says, to 'free souls'. This is, in our view, pollution of the Gospel. Orthodoxy that couldn't 'fill in' the-descending-into-the-earth-theme' (alchemy) and came up with the soul-theory.

Now, it is said of Melchisedek that Christ 'is priest after the rule of Melchisedek'. What is meant here? We brainstormed. That Melchisedek is in our view the 'microcosmic, alchemical law', after which the great work has to be performed. He's made into a person in myth. So Melchisedek the alchemical structure in the body, the law, if you want. The Phoenix is the human body in the first phase of alchemy (resurrection), and the christ the completed, deified body after the second phase (night of the soul).

11.

Let's have a closer look at the foot washing. And why? We are to reveal some more of the sexual preference of our gay man. And you'll be astonished, as we were once too.

Remember what we said about 'Adam Kadmon will give you a foot, instead of a hand.'

There is a very odd story in history. It is supposed to have originated in the first century. We were never able to trace the story in literature. And that's a weak point. But we are begging for your attention nevertheless.

How do we know about that odd story? Our secretary (the one who gives our English a last boost and sends the emails to you from public computers) had coffee at the end of the eighties with the parents of a friend of his. They were shocked because of an incident that happened on television the other night. They told that (on a evangelical) talk-show somebody told a very strange little story. It went like this: The Son of God descended from heaven, saw Adam, loved Adam, kneeled down, kissed his feet and tickled (!) his feet. End of story.

Our friend wondered how this 'gay' story could have been broadcasted by Christians, and found out that it was a live program. It couldn't be cut. We, unfortunately, are not allowed to name the country and the program, we don't want give away the home country of our secretary. You understand.

Now, keep all this in mind and let's look at the foot washing. It's only brought by 'John', who's the only one who has 'the beloved disciple'. Why did Jesus wash feet? Not for reasons of hygiene. Because the meal was over already when he started to wash the feet. And this is very important: nowhere it is told why the disciples should was feet at all. They are told to wash because Jesus is Lord, and they were servant. But why they should was in the first place, it is not explained. And John knows that too. The 'but thou shalt know hereafter' in our opinion is 2000 years later.

Here we go:

The Gospel According to Saint John

John 13: Chapter 13

13:1 Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.

13:2 And supper being ended (ended !), the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him;

13:3 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;

13:4 He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself.

13:5 After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.

13:6 Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?

13:7 Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.

13:8 Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.  [What is 'Jesus' saying here?]

13:9 Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.

13:10 Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.

13:11 For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.

13:12 So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?

13:13 Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.

13:14 If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet.

13:15 For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.

13:16 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.

13:17 If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.

Summarizing the resurrection.

1978 : Pope John Paul (de labore solis = of the work of the sun) comes to power. During his reign 90% of the work of the sun in our gay man is taking place.

March 1986 : testicle-pain starts (the work of the sun starts)

July 1986 : testicle-pain is at his height and stays at his height till a about a week after the resurrection (September 4 1986)

End of august till September 4 1986 : our gay man becomes a child. That is, psychologically during certain minutes. During those minutes, and to his own surprise, he even produces a child's voice. (pupulus nudus means the naked young boy and this reminds us of the words of Jesus too: you must become like a little child again if you want to enter the Kingdom of God.)

September 4 1986 (little after midnight 'silentio noctis' ( in the silence of the night): resurrection.

a) Our man is on the floor on his back. He had his eyes closed during the whole resurrection. A 'thread' (very thin) is closing around his neck. The head is decapitated by that 'thread'.

b) The stone is produced about where the liver is. The stone ignites the Kundalini fire (the fire can actually be heard) and starts to move about, increasingly violently. Fire getting stronger. Arms and legs break into pieces.

c) The snake is driven out. Our friend doesn't know where it went. Up the spine, but after that: no clue. (Into the earth?)

d) The wheel starts to spin and is raised to the forehead.

e) One starts to descend into the earth. After 2 minutes our man 'fell asleep' or passed out in another hypnagogic way. Hypnagogic, because he couldn't remember that moment the morning after. If you lose consciousness you remember. So he 'fell asleep'.

f) 10.30 in the morning. He woke up. Coccyx and back of the head firmly attached to the floor. As said before, it took him about 30 minutes to free himself.

g) September 5 1986 : the top-chakra opens.

13.

October 2000 : the night of the Soul starts.

November 2001 : the lightbody starts to grow.

Springs 2005 : The lightbody is already very strong. Pope John Paul dies. The bulk of the Work of the Sun is performed during his reign 'of the work of the sun'/ 'de labore solis'.

Ratzinger then becomes Pope. The last pope, and he has the slogan: gloria olivae (the glory of the olive tree: the Tree of Life (spine and brain)). So gloria olivae: the sons of God revealed with the becoming visible of the lightbody. The harvest ("if everything is strong enough, you will have your harvest").

There is an extra Pope, Petrus Romanus, in the list of Maleachi, but he is not clearly identified as a pope. We don't know how to solve this Petrus Romanus problem. Because surely, history as we know it (and that includes churchianity without a doubt) shall stop after the revelation of the sons of God. Not?

The Paris 4
