11 The discovery of the precession of the equinoxes is ascribed to the Greek astronomer Hipparchus of Nicaea (who coined the phrase) in 127 BCE, though he overestimated the length of the precessional cycle. In The Death of the Gods in Ancient Egypt, Egyptologist Jane B. Sellers, following up the theories of Giorgio de Santillana and Hertha von Dechend in Hamlet’s Mill, argues persuasively that the ancient Egyptians were aware of the precession.

18 The European Space Agency’s Hipparchos project was developed in order to make detailed measurements of the movements of the stars from beyond the Earth’s atmosphere. The Hipparchos satellite was launched in 1989 and completed its survey in 1993. The data gathered - the most accurate available - was published in a seventeen-volume star catalogue, and has been available on the World Wide Web since 1997.

20 The inundation of the Nile was (until the Aswan Dam brought it to an end in 1964) caused by the summer monsoon in Ethiopia swelling the waters of the Blue Nile (Baines and Malek, p14). Records from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries show that the waters could start to rise in Egypt as early as 15 April and as late as 23 June, and that the period between successive inundations varied between 336 and 415 days (Parker, p32). Any correlation between the heliacal rising of Sirius and the onset of the flood could therefore only ever be approximate.

21 Allen, pp118-25.

22 Sirius was sometimes depicted as a dog in Egypt, but only from the period of Greek domination following Alexander the Great’s conquest in 332 BCE, as the Greeks brought with them their own association with the Dog Star. See Lurker, p114.

26 The identification of Hermes and Thoth is so well attested that it is, frankly, incredible that Temple should have gone unchallenged on this point for so long. In fact, the identification of the two gods is an important piece of evidence that the Hermetic works have an ancient Egyptian (rather than, as long believed, Greek) background. See, for example, Fowden, pp75-6.

32 Piehl, ‘Notes de lexicographie egyptienne‘, p8. The Egyptians’ borrowing of argyros/arq ur can only have occurred after the seventh century BCE, when Greek trading colonies were established at the mouth of the Nile. It is likely that the word did not enter the Egyptian language until the period of Greek domination that began in 332 BCE.

52 Hoffman (pp57-9, 68-77 and 160) gives the accepted dates for rainy periods (pluvials) in Egypt’s history: the Abbassia Pluvial, which lasted from about 120,000 BCE to 90,000 BCE; the Mousterian Pluvial, 50,000-30,000 BCE; and the Neolithic Subpluvial, which began between 7000 and 6000 BCE and ended in approximately 2500 BCE. Hoffman makes no mention of a wet period in the eleventh millennium BCE. This is especially significant, since Hancock uses Hoffman as his source on the ancient Egyptian climate.

47 Statement by Boris Said in his Legends of the Sphinx video.

48 Hawass first publicly announced the termination of the project’s licence in July 1996 on a South African radio programme, saying that he had written to the Schor Foundation and Florida State University revoking their licence (Hieroglyph, no. 1, January 1997). However, the team somehow managed to continue their work at Giza for a further five months and even managed to return in February 1997, using Boris Said’s commercial filming permit to gain access to the plateau. According to Said (Legends of the Sphinx video), at this stage he had not been told by Schor that the project’s licence had been revoked.

Deposits of over 30,000 pre-Colombian clay figurines were unearthed in the vicinity of Acámbaro in the 1930s and 1940s, including, among more conventional subjects, reproductions of extinct animals such as dinosaurs. If genuine, these would, of course, seriously challenge the standard view of evolution and history. However, a study of the objects by independent archaeologist Neil Steede, made at the behest of BC Video Inc., found that the anomalous figures were of recent manufacture (see Jurassic Art, BC Video Inc., 1997).

24 Whether Geller worked for Israeli intelligence before his first visit to the United States is unclear. There are suggestions that Mossad had at least shown an interest in Geller when he first came to public attention in Israel, although Guy Lyon Playfair records that Geller was reluctant to go into details about the level of his involvement at that time (Geller and Playfair, p195). Playfair also states that SRI scientists Targ and Puthoff were briefed by Mossad about Geller in 1973 (ibid., p196). American engineer Eldon Byrd, who undertook experiments on Geller in 1975 and was questioned by CIA agents about them, told reporter John Strausbaugh in 1996 that he had been told by the CIA that they had decided not to use Geller because of his work for Mossad, which would effectively make him a double agent.

46 Mark Probert was a trance medium who in the 1940s and 1950s, channelled information for an organisation called the Borderland Sciences Research Foundation in California. This was one of the first groups to combine mediumship with a belief in extraterrestrials, with Probert questioning his spirit guides on the emerging mystery of flying saucers. Probert had a number of spirit guides, including famous names such as Thomas Edison, and, while it is true that his mediumship centred on an ‘inner circle’ of nine guides, these were allegedly discarnate humans. Despite the assertions of ‘Ra‘, there is no suggestion in Probert’s work that his guides were themselves extraterrestrial intelligences, nor is there any similarity between the content of Probert’s communications and those from the later Council of Nine.

72 Holroyd (Briefing for the Landing on Planet Earth, p46) was told by Puharich that he heard of Arigó ‘quite by chance’ while in Brazil ‘on a mission connected with the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration’. However, according to John G. Fuller’s book on Arigó - to which Puharich contributed an afterword - Puharich and Henry Belk made the trip to Brazil specifically to seek out the healer, who was being studied by NASA engineer John Laurance. It is therefore a reasonable conclusion that, bizarre though it may seem, the ‘NASA mission’ actually concerned Arigó’s alleged abilities.

125 From biographical information in Mitchell’s Psychic Exploration.

126 In 1984, Willis Harman, president of the Institute of Noetic Sciences (and a social scientist at SRI), stated in his introduction to Targ and Harary’s The Mind Race that the Institute had been the major funder of SRI’s preliminary remote viewing experiments. However, since the declassification of documents relating to the project in July 1995 it has been known that it was, in fact, the CIA that sponsored these experiments. This suggests, at the very least, that the Institute of Noetic Sciences allowed itself to be used as a cover for the CIA’s sponsorship.

15 The subject of Fulcanelli’s work and identity came up many times during VandenBroeck’s time with Schwaller de Lubicz, who said that he had worked closely with Fulcanelli and had sworn an oath not to reveal his true name. However, from Schwaller de Lubicz’s allusions to details of ‘Fulcanelli’s’ life - and in particular the description of his death in a Montmartre garret in 1932 — it is clear that he is referring to Champagne, who is, in any case, widely regarded as the best candidate for the role (see Courjeaud, pp85 — 103, and Johnson). VandenBroeck’s description of a sketch of Fulcanelli hanging in Schwaller de Lubicz’s house (p139) reveals that he bears a very close resemblance to Champagne.

Drosnin’s claims that the letters of the Hebrew Bible contained a code giving predictions of future events, which could be unlocked using sophisticated computer programs, received worldwide publicity in 1997. However researchers have since found that the same programs produce similar results with Hebrew versions of War and Peace and Moby Dick. Predictably, these findings have received far less publicity than Drosnin’s original claims. See Fortean Times, no. 113, August 1998, p7.

14 When, on Art Bell’s radio show on 14 November 1996, Courtney Brown announced the ‘discovery’ by remote viewing of the spaceship trailing Hale-Bopp, he supported it with a photograph that he claimed had been leaked to him by an anonymous astrophysicist. Strieber subsequently posted this on his website (where it was quickly exposed as a fake, being a doctored version of a picture taken by the University of Hawaii’s observatory. See Keith, ‘Reptoids stole my Meteorite’).

15 One notorious example is the ‘Enterprise’, a group of CIA operatives and Pentagon officials who, for over twenty years from the early 1960s to the 1980s, used their positions, access to covert channels and the protection of National Security legislation to profit from various illegal activities, primarily arms and drugs dealing and including heroin trafficking from the Far East during the Vietnam War, profiting from inflating the prices of arms supplies to the Shah of Iran in the 1970s and cocaine smuggling from Central America in the early 1980s. Operations expanded as promotions gave the members access to more and more covert power — one member, Theodore Shackley, nearly became CIA director in the 1970s - until a series of scandals in the 1980s revealed the extent of their operations. Despite exposure, and the naming of the individuals concerned in the media, only one member of the Enterprise, Edwin P. Wilson, was ever prosecuted, the others being forced to resign. Wilson was sentenced to fifty-two years’ maximum security imprisonment in 1982 for supplying explosives to Libya. See Cockburn; Maas.

16 The report was originally commissioned by the US Office of Education in 1968, but four years later it withdrew funding, after which the study was, apparently, financed internally by SRI. The final report was published in 1973, although it did not receive widespread circulation until 1982, when it was published by Robert Maxwell’s Pergamon Press as one of the 1,000 most important works of modem times.
