Does the sacred geometry of Rennes-le- Chateau prove that an advanced civilisation existed on Earth in ancient times? Part 1 he history of humanity's emergence from the past is shrouded in mystery. Far from there being ‘missing links’, whole chains are absent, if indeed they were ever there. The deeper that Man searches for his beginnings, the more confusing becomes the evidence which he seeks. Those bright lights in the heavens to which he has aspired are found to be barren, airless, inhospitable wastelands, battered and cratered by violent celestial storms of ‘fire and gravel’. In recent years, many authors have suggested that an advanced intellect existed on our planet in the distant past and was cataclysmically destroyed. As plausible as their argu- ments have been, they have nevertheless lacked the essential proof which would force the establishment to accept them as fact. On a lesser scale, even comparatively recently, civil- isations may have succumbed to heaven-sent missiles from space. Many had hoped that the Mars mission of 1993 would have proven, with the aid of the Malin camera, the existence of an advanced culture having flourished there when Man was in his infaney. But that was not to be. Neither is that difficult and distant research necessary, for the very proof we need is here on planet Earth. To be a proof, in the true sense of the word, it would of necessity need to be permanent and verifiable by any authority which chose to examine it. The only proof which would remain inviolable would be mathematical, and it is an indictment of our culture that we consider il in vogue to be 'innumerate’. Allow us, there- fore, to prepare your minds for the ultimate revelation: proof of an advanced intelligence which preceded us—and the extent to which some have gone to preserve it and others to conceal it. We are presently in the privileged position of witnessing the dramatic pictures of Jupiter from NASA's latest probe. We hope that the reason for naming the craft Galileo has not caused too much embarrassment to the Church of Rome, for it was in the year of their Lord 1616 that Galileo Galilei was warned by Cardinal Bellarmine neither to "hold nor defend" the heretical doctrine suggesting that the Sun is the centre of Earth's planetary system. As we all know, he was subsequently prosecuted for “vehement suspicion of heresy” and placed under house arrest for the rest of his life. Johannes Kepler, being fortunate enough not to reside in Italy, escaped the full furore of the Church and went on to extemporise on Galileo's understanding of planetary movement with his discovery of the elliptical orbits of the planets with the Sun as one of the two foci. Nevertheless, in the eyes of the Church, this was an equally heretical work and was met with the full force of religious suppression. We can only imagine how rapidly our knowledge of astronomy might have progressed had it not been for the Roman Church. Throughout the history of the ‘dark ages’ there must have existed some, if not many, equally brilliant minds whose contributions were successfully stifled by the Church and of whom we know nothing. Now, with the benefit of space-age probes and the televisual medium through which pictures of celestial bodies can be brought into everyone's home, we can easily be lulled into believing that we live in enlightened times, grateful that the light is at last beginning to permeate through these dark ages. Or could it be that we are still only being fed piece- meal with a selected diet of information which has been subjected to censorship by one authority or another?
