sen to rehash into the ‘authorised version’ of the legend—the one which is currently generally accepted. In fact, for the reader to appreciate fully the next phase of the geometry, we must look to the legends of Egypt. sine 18), and this controls the pentagonal ground figure and its encompassing Temple. With all these connections so firmly established, we tumed our attention to Poussin's famous Les Bergers d'Arcadie (see Photo 1), where a kneeling shepherd can be seen pointing to the letter "R" of the famous inscription, "ET IN ARCADIA EGO". Realising that R is the 18th letter of the alphabet, we knew that Poussin was telling us he was indeed one of the custodians of the secret. Further confirmation of his mathematical ingenuity was to be found in the manner in which he had arranged for the shepherds’ staffs to be precisely halved at the point where they were obscured by other details of the painting—a clear indication that he knew that by halving the phi reciprocal, one achieved the sine value of 18 degrees. Although it is too involved to be dealt with here, in Geneset is the explanation of how this ‘key’ of associating number with alphabetic positioning eventually provided the dual solution of the "ET IN ARCADIA EGO” inscription. Latin scholars will be aware that the inscription is grammatically incorrect and thereby so ambiguous as to be nonsensical. After decoding, however, it was shown to incorporate the major control distances of the ground figure geometry and, furthermore, to disclose the identity of the most feared of the gods of Egypt: Set. Further confirmation of this connection occurs by virtue of the fact that it is generally agreed that a replica of the tomb featured in the painting was constructed in the area (see Photo 2), and on examination it was found that the face stones numbered 56—the number attributed by the Greek historian Plutarch to the god Set. Inexorably the Egyptian connection strengthened, and we became aware that we were being shown the predynastic relation- ship between Set and Isis which the priests of Heliopolis had cho- This article, The Key to Humanity's Mysterious Origins, is based on material from the books Genisis, Geneset and Poussin's Secret, which are distributed by Genisis Trading Co.

About the Authors: David Wood is qualified in the fields of trigonometrical and topographical surveying and cartographical reproduc- tion. This unusual combination. of skills, together with his study of legends, permitted him to discover an ancient geometry concealed in the valley of Rennes-le-Chateau. After years of refinement, his observations and calculations have been proven correct. fan Campbell is an investigative journalist, author and photographer who has been examining the geometric and histaric aspects of the Rennes-le-Chateau mystery since 1982. He independently verified David Wood's early research before joining him in the culmination of his stud- jes, revealing the awesome secret of Rennes-le-Chateau.
