The primary symbol of alchemic transmutation "
"was par exellence the sepulchre." "The grave? " "Yes, the place of corruption .It comprehends all hermetics, all alchemy, it is nothing else than  the  receptacle, the well - guarded crystal retort wherein the material is compressed to its final trans-formation and purification."

" As Prince Stanislas Klossowski de Rola expresses it:
'It will thus be clear that the alchemical process of creation, is a
microscopic reconstitution of the process of creation, in
other words a re-creation. It is effected by the interplay of forces symbolized by two dragons, one black and one white, locked in an eternal circular combat. The white one is
winged, or volatile, the black one wingless, or fixed; they are
accompanied by the universal alchemical formula solve et

/ Page 196   /  

coagula. This formula and this emblem symbolize the alternating role of the two indespensible halves that compose the whole. Solve et coagula is an injunction to alternate dissolution, which is a spiritualization or sublimation of solids, with coagulation, that is to say a re-matrialization of the purified products of the first operation. Its cyclic aspect is clearly expressed by Nicholas Valois: " Solvite corpora et coagulate spiritum " ; " Dissolve the body  and coagulate the spirit." ' note 1
…'But when we marry the crowned king to our red
daughter, and in a gentle fire, not hurtful she doth concieve
an exellent and supernatural son, which permanent life she
doth also feed with a subtle heat, so that he lives at length in
our fire…Then he is transformed, and his tincture by help

/ Page197 /

of the fire remains red, as it were flesh. But our son the King
begotten, takes his tincture from the fire, and death even,
and darkness, and the waters flee away. The Dragon shuns
the sunbeams which dart through the crevices and our dead
son lives; the king comes from the fire and rejoins with
his spouse,the occult treasures are laid open, and the
virgin's milk is whitened.'
                           - Tractacus aureus, or Golden Tracate of Hermes.
Or again:
        ' Take the serpent and place it in the chariot with four
wheels and let it be turned about on the earth until it is
immersed in the depths of the sea , and nothing more is
visible but the blackest Dead sea …and when the vapour is
precipitated like rain… you should bring the chariot from
water to dry land, and then you have placed the four wheels
on the chariot and will obtain the result if you will advance
further to the Red Sea,running without running, moving
without motion'
               - The Tractate of Aristotle to Alexander the Great.
 
…" Whatever their names and however many processes might have been applied, the important factor to remember is that the alchemists saw their work as reflective and imitative of  the cyclic order of Nature ; of the formation, development and eventual dissolution of the All - followed by its natural
and

/ Page 198 /

inevitable re-formation. ( This may be compared quite favour-ably with a cyclic uni-verse, which begins as a primal atom containing everything,explodes to form the cosmos, then ultimately collapses back upon itself eventually to repeat the process over again ad infinitum)This process similarly applied on a lesser scale to all living entities including the earth, which went through an obvious cycle of birth, growth, decay death, and re-birth annually. Man himself also followed this assumed pattern of birth, life death and re-birth.

"Sound, of course, is a vibration that can be conducted only through an elastic medium; it cannot travel through a vac-uum. Electromagnetic waves do travel through free space, and we know far less about factors governing their resonance. There is however, one quite extraordinary piece of evidence which  suggests that shape could be important in receiving even cosmic stimuli. It comes from those favourites of mystics throughout the ages-the pyramids of Egypt.
'The most celebrated are those at Giza built during the fourth.dynasty of which the largest is the one that housed the pharaoh Khufu, better known as Cheops. This is now called the Great Pyramid Some years ago it was visited by a
French-man  named Bovis, who took refuge from the midday sun in the pharaoh's chamber, which is situated at the center of the pyramid, exactly one third of the way up from the base He found it unusually humid there,but what really surprised / him were the garbage cans that contained, among the usual  tourist litter,the bodies of a dead cat and some small desert animals that had wandered into the pyramid and died there. Despite the humidity none of them had decayed but just dried out like mummies. He began to wonder whether the pharaohs had really been so carefully embalmed by their subjects after all, or whether there was something about the pyramids themselves that preserved bodies in a mummified condition. Bovis made an accurate scale model of the Cheops pyramid and placed it like the original with the base lines,facing precisely north-south east-west. Inside the model one third of the way up, he put a dead cat. It became mummified and he concluded that the pyramid promoted rapid dehy-dration.
Reports of this discovery attracted the attention of Karel Drbal, a radio engineer in Prague, who repeated the experiment with several dead animals and concluded, " There is a relation between the shape of the space inside the pyramid and the physical and biological processes going on inside that space. By using suitable  forms and shapes,
We should be able to make processes occur faster or delay them." Note 233

"Hermetics - what a lovely word "
"…It sounds like magiking,and has all sorts of vague and extended associations .You must excuse my speaking of such a thing but it reminds me of the conserve jars that our housekeeper …"
"…keeps in her larder. She has rows of them on her shelves, air-tight glasses full of  fruit and meat and all sorts of things.They stand there maybe a whole year-you open them as you need them and the contents are as fresh as on the day they were put up, you can eat them just as they are.To be sure, that isn't alchemy or purification, it is simply conserving , hence the word conserve.The magic part of it lies in the fact that the stuff that is conserved is withdrawn from the effects of time,t is her-metically sealed from time, time passes it by, it stand there on its shelf shut away from time."  

After leaving Brother Thomas,The Zed AlizZed and yonder scribe set off, once or twice again the journey of a lifetime.Finding themselves, as if by magic will intended within the august presence of Brother Kolosimo.

" The territory known to scholars as ancient Peru is not coter-minous with that country as it exists today, but extends to the headwaters of the Amazon, the Andean zones of Equador and Bolivia, and parts of northern Chile and north-western Argentina. Throughout this large area, day to day life showed a considerably higher level of civilization than in Central America and the contrasts between culture and barbarism were less marked.  
The Peruvians had an impressive system of cultivation by terraces, with advanced methods of irrigation and fertiliza-tion, and had discovered the art of preserving meat and potatoes. Imposing ruins tell of the Mochica civilization
( named after Moche, where the first excavations took place), which flourished along the northern part of the coast from Pacasmayo to Casma. In the Mochica tombs there have been found remains of two different races: skeletons belonging to what we would call a white race, and also Indian ones…"
"… The ancient Peruvian scene was dominated by pyramids, of

/ Page 191 /

which hundreds are to be found along the coast. Those of Mochica were built with clay bricks. From this civilization we possess also the majestic ruins of the temples of the sun and moon ( Huaca del Sol and Huaca de la Luna ).
Huge irrigation works were constructed in the Chincha Valley near the coast, where other ancient ruins include a fortress called La Centinela ( the sentinel ) This area was the scene of the cultures of Nazca ( Nasca ), Ica and Paracas. Tombs hollowed out of the rock contain hundreds of mum-mified corpses in the foetal position: these were probably prepared by a smoking process after the intestines were removed. Magnificent textiles have been found
here: veils brocades and 'gobelins', made by the same methods as the famous French product which dates from the fifteenth cen-tury, and fabrics covered with a mosaic of feathers. These masterpieces display no less than 190 different shades of colour.
Near Nazca, on a plateau 1,200 feet high which is sheltered from sea-winds but parched by the sun, there is a thick network of 'canals'recalling those on Mars, together with enormous figures of known and unknown animals, in-cluding the spider and the legendary fire-bird.
There are said to be many other sites of this kind in Peru and parts of Chile, but the Indians who know of them cannot explain their purpose, though they relate stories which suggest that the figures were intended to guide the course of navigators from outer space who established bases here on earth. Without venturing to say whether there actually were space-

/ Page 192  /

ports on Andean heights we may quote the following as we received it from La Paz:
' The Indians say that thousands of years ago their an-cestors travelled on great golden discs which were kept airborne by means of sound vibrations at a certain pitch, produced by continual hammer-blows. This is not so absurd as it may seem. Vibrations of a set frequency may have had the effect of increasing the atomic energy of gold, thus re-ducing the weight of the disc and enabling it to overcome gravity.'

Page 193  

'… To quote Pauwels and Bergier (op. Cit.,p. 197: ' The U.S. archaeologist Hyatt Verrill spent thirty years investigating the lost civilizations of Central and South America. . . In his fine novel, The Bridge of Light, he described a pre-Incaic city protected by a rocky defile which could only be crossed by a bridge con-structed of ionized matter which could be made to appear and diappear at will. Verrill,who died at the age of eighty, insisted to the last that this was much more than a legend, and his wife who survives him, is of the same opinion.'

"A message from the Infinite"
"In the Mediterranean world as we have already seen, pyramids were used as mausolea and also (in the step-pyramid form as temples: the second category includes the Mesopotamian pyramids and the legendary Tower of Babel. In ancient America we also meet with both sites and at Tiahuanaco they are found side by side. The terraced pyramid known as the Acapana contains the ruins of what is thought to have been a sovereign's burial chamber ,with an
underground passage leading to it .Can its occupant have been the first  'white' lord in America ?. . . At Puma Puncu,
about half a mile to the south-west, there was an even larger pyramid of three or four steps or stories with a build-ing
comprising several chambers on each."

" The Chimu empire, with Chanchan as its capital, extended along the northern coast of Peru from north of Lima to the present border with Ecuador.The Chimu people must have descended from inhabitants of Mexico who sailed southward about the beginning of the Christian era founding the cultures of Salinar,Gallinazo and Mochica. As time went on, these settlements united with others along the Moche river creating an empire which lasted from about A.D. 500 to 1400; it was then conquered by the Incas, who borrowed much from it in the field of art, customs and mythology."
"The reliefs at Chanchan are reminiscent of almost every civilization in the world from Grecian friezes to those of central Asia, from the art of Egypt to that of Mesopotamia and China.
The imposing ruins of Chanchan cover an area of 6 or 7

/ Page 201  /

square miles "
"… Chan signifies 'snake' and the reptile-god was adored here in the same way as the goddess of Buto was in ancient Egypt. But-to revert to the beginning of our chapter-a Spanish pilot named Pedro Corzo who sailed up and down the Peruvian coast at the time of the conquista tells us that everywhere in the temples he found wooden or stone statues of a god named Guatan or 'whirlwind'. This reminds us irresistibly of the Germanic storm-god Wotan.
And in fact we find that Wotan was the original name of the Chimu divinity among the Mayas, who 'exported' him to South America. In Guatemala he was the lord of night and darkness, and the Mayas, Aztecs and Zapotecs all associated him with divination."

Page 203  

" This brings our story as far as the Incas. We shall use this name for them, as do most archaeologists and historians, but it should be born in mind that 'Inca'was a title originally confined to the ruler and the aristocracy, while the common folk were called Quechua Indians (as they still are today)."
" Mummies, past and present"
"According to Inca legend, Manco Capac - the founder of the race and of its ancient dynasty - came to earth and dwelt on the Island of the Sun in Lake Titicaca, together with his sister and escort Mama Ocllo. They wandered northwards until they came to the land designated as their home by the Sun-god, and there founded the Quechua empire with its capital at Cuzco that signifies 'navel'or'centre of the earth' "
"The Inca empire,known as the 'land of the four quarters ' (Tahuantinsuyu ), extended from the south of what is now Colombia to the north of Argentina"
Some authorities date the origin of the empire back to A.D.494 and 565, others to 1130."
 
Page 204

The first ruler who emerges from myth into a shadowy form of history is Sinchi Roca, who reigned about 1150.
Our chief concern here, however, is with the eighth of the series (counting from Manco Capac), whose name or title was Vira-cocha Inca. The original Viracocha ,as we have seen, was the white god of the Quechuas, and the Spaniards were given this name by reason of their fair skin.The historical  Vira-cocha, Inca was of fair complexion and bearded, as we know from his portrait.  
The nobles were known as 'long-ears' since as we have seen, they pierced their ears and hung heavy ornaments from them. They and the priests were responsible for the wonders of architecture of which E.Fergusson wrote: 'Neither the Greeks nor the Romans nor the middle ages achieved such perfection,' while H. Velarde speaks of a 'country crystallized into geometrical shapes"
"The Incas were devout sun worshippers"
 
As fast as Alizzed could weave a tapestry, the far yonder scribe had stiched it into the patchwork quilt.

"The ancient American sovereigns were called 'sons of the Sun'as were those of Egypt, Assyria and Crete and also the Chinese emperors, especially the Chou dynasty"
"As regards links between the Quechuas and Egyptians in August 1953 Dr. Bird discovered near Lima the tombs of a prince named Capac who died in the fourth or fifth millen-nium B.C. and was buried in a sarcophagus of Egyptian type. Another such sarcophagus, together with statues in Mexican style, was excavated in the 'Egyptian valley' in the southern part of the Amazon basin,half-way between the rivers Xingu and Tocantins. On 13 November 1954 the Rio de Janeiro newspaper O Cruzeiro reported the discovery, in the village of Durados on the Pira-Veve river of an 'Egyptian' cameo representing a queen with an inscription in hiero-glyphics signifying that after her death her soul mounted to heaven and her virtues were rewarded by celestial peace.
In 1531, when Pizarro's  Spaniards eager for gain as usual, burst into the great temple at Cuzco, they found some strange bundles that proved to contain mummified bodies in a foetal position, wrapped in precious cloths, their faces covered by masks of gold, silver, wood or clay. Unlike the Egyptians, who used natron and resin packs and anointing  
with oil, the Incas relied for mummification on the dry climate and saliferous soil of Peru. However excavators at Ganchavita in Columbia found a group of mummies each wearing a small gold crown and surrounded by funeral offerings-cloth, gold figures ornaments and emeralds. As Honore remarks 'it was suprising that mummies should have been found here, a country with a climate most unfavourable for conservation by natural processes. But chemical analysis has established that resins and oils were used-so the methods of mummi-fication were almost exactly the same as in ancient Egypt.'  
The Quechuas in fact used different techniques,as the discovery of mummified bodies as shown.
In 1560Garcilaso

/ Page 206 /

de la Vega witnessed the removal of the mummies of five Inca sovereigns identified as
Viracocha Inca of the long white hair, Capac Yupanqui, Huayana Capac, Mama Runto and Mama Ocllo. In a sitting position,with downcast eyes and arms crossed over their breasts, the bodies in royal robes were an impressive sight.
According to Jose de Acosta 'they were so intact and  well preserved with a certain kind of pitch that they seemed as though alive' Garcilaso added :  'I believe that the Indians' secret consists in burying the bodies in snow… and afterwards using the bitumen of which Father de Acosta speaks. When I saw them thus, I felt like touching one of Huayana Capac 's fingers as though it were that of a living man.'  
The Spaniards removed these mummies to Lima, where they rapidly de composed in the heat and damp and had to be buried. We may recall that in March 1963 the mummy of the Egyptian princess Mene, who died in 322 B.C.,  
began to decompose and had to be moved to a cold storage chamber at Oklahoma University, where biologists were astonished to find that the epithelial cells were still intact.
Mummies in a perfect state of preservation have also been found in America in recent times. In 1953 a Chilean muleteer discovered, in an Andean glacier, a small sarcophagus contain-ing the mummified body of an Inca girl
Who had lived about 730 years ago, surrounded by figurines of solid gold includ-ing one with a toad's head.
In 1959 chance led to the discovery, in a cave in Sonara province in Mexico, of thirty well preserved mummies dating from about 10,000 years ago and belonging to an unknown civilization.
These facts are remarkable enough in themselves, but Sr. Beltran Garcia embroiders them after his own fashion  
'The mummies of the five Inca sovereigns,' he tells us, were removed from the temple before Garcilaso was born, and their discovery was due to an error.From the scientific point of view they were bodies in a state of hibernation, with all their organs inert but living. The Incas were skilled at producing this condition, and they did so in the expectation that scientists would one day be able to re-suscitate the bodies. The technique of embalming was used at  
the Vatican too, and the "pitch" used by the Incas was in fact a solid transperent cream consisting of three ingrediants, one of which was quinine.'
We report these singular ideas merely as a curiosity, though some people have been taken in by them. Garcilaso's
account makes it clear that he is talking of dead bodies, but his decendant, referring to the Chilean discovery,writes as follows : ' Garcilaso de la Vega states that the method of the "frozen toad" ( sapo helado ) was an Inca secret.
It seems that the child was meant to be the bearer of a message to scientists of the future, but that the body's sudden exhumation deprived it of life. The gold figurines, especially that with the toad's head, contained a secret explanation of the experiment.'  
If and when Sr Garcia and those who share his views are privelidged to hold telepathic converse with some half-
immortal Inca scientist whose hiding place is unknown to the rest of us, it is to be hoped that they can give a fuller ex-planation of the gold figurines. Meanwhile, we are assured 'other live mummies are hidden in the creators of volcanoes and in Andean glaciers. Those in craters are in a state of lethergy induced by the curare process, while those in glaciers are in artificial hibernation due to the "toad method"    
 

The Zed AlizZed cracked open the any stone and gooddayed the toad
 
The scribe carefully noted the comments made by Brother Kolosimo with regard to Senor Beltran Garcia.
 
ZedAlizZed meanwhile calculated the odds.

"…We may also quote from Beltran Garcia, a Spaniard who wishes to revive the sun worship of the Incas and claims to be a descendant of Garcilaso Inca de la Vega. Garcilaso, who lived from 1539 to 1616, was the son of a conquistador and an Inca princess; he wrote a history of the Incas and is said by / his descendant to have left important documents that remain unpublished. One of the most bizzare of Beltran Garcia's stories, allegedly based on these documents, is as follows;
'According to the pictograph writings of Tiahuanaco,…"  
 
Leaving out parts of that particular story the scribe moved on apace.
 
" During their passage through space they cast their excrement out of the space-ship and turned the lake into the shape of a man lying on his back, with his navel at the spot where our first mother is said to have reclined, impregnated with the seed of human knowledge."  
"As for the "excrement" which they jettisoned from the ship to alter the context of the lake, may it perhaps have been an atomic bomb? It is a curious fact that, in order to rob Lake Titicaca of the symbolic character which the Indians ascribed to it, it was represented on maps up to 1912 as almost circular shape. Its true name was Titi - lake of mystery and of the sun - but to this was added a suffix which in many languages conveys the notion of "excrement".'  
We are entitled to treat the story and the gloss with a good deal of scepticism, and this applies even more to the continuation of Sr. Garcia's account in which science fiction is spiced with a touch of pornography."
This part of the story recalls the Inca nobles' custom of

/ Page 184 /

deforming their ear lobes by hanging costly ornaments from them in order to draw attention to their wealth. For this reason the Spaniards called them Orejones ('Big - ears' )…"
" This farrago is only worth quoting as an illustration of how elements of information which deserve to be judged on their merits are blended with pure fantasy and served up in a manner which shows no regard for probability or for the reader's intelligence. Nobody, as far as we are aware, has ever seen, much less examined, the ' secret manuscripts' of Garcilaso Inca de la Vega.  
The writers who base eccentric theories on fables of this

/ Page 185 /

kind are usually careful not to refer to them in too much detail but to select the parts that best fit their purpose. This method has the unfortunate effect of discrediting genuine scholars whose minds are open to new ideas,
While it strengthens the position of hidebound traditionalists and en-courages public opinion to be sceptical of theories which, however fantastic in appearance, may in fact be basically sound. It is not necessary to resort to distortion and ex-travagant imagery in order to frame hypotheses of much greater interest and verisimilitude than that of Orejona. It is in fact quite possible to suppose that the blood of voyagers from outer space flows in our own veins, and if we do so we shall be less sceptical of attempts by some Soviet scholars to place the story of Atlantis in its cosmic setting.
Blue men
Plato tells us that the first Atlanteans were of different race and blood from the other inhabitants of earth, and in 1960 a group of Soviet scholars suggested that they may have been men of a bluish colour. This theory was based in part on Herodotus and the Egyptian historian Manetho, who lived in the third century B.C. and wrote a work which we possess in part only, describing his country,s past on the basis of the inscriptions on ancient monuments. Other sources are the Palermo Stone and the Turin Papyrus which gives lists of the Pharaohs and date respectively from about 2400 and 1250 B.C."  
 
At this juncture in the quintessential moment of the now The Zed Aliz Zed asked the scribe to make a note of how many days there were in todays year.
The far yonder scribe writ 365. Then did the Alizzed take a further moment to do a spell of simple arithmetic, this the scribe duly recorded
2400 + 1250  = 3650
2400  - 1250  = 1150
2400   x 1250  = 3000000
2400   x   360  = 864000
1250   x   360  = 450000  
And then writ 864 less the zeroes + 45 less the zeroes of which there are three and four azin 7
