Conclusion<br />

<strong>The</strong> goal of this book has been to bring the mysteries to life by<br />

tracing the provenance of a single tangible element common to all<br />

Mysteries from time immemorial, which is the Philosophers’ Stone. It<br />

has many forms in different eras, from the ancient alchemy of the<br />

Anatolian Indo-Hittites, Mesopotamians and Egyptians, to the new<br />

sciences of sacred chemistry. It has taken us from Pyramid texts to Ovid,<br />

Shakespeare, Star Wars, Superman and Madonna. <strong>The</strong> closely associated<br />

story of St George and the Dragon, which represents the Rite of<br />

Righteous, has never varied.<br />

Old Kingdom Pharaohs and priests knew of the Philosophers'<br />

Stone in Egypt from at least the time of Imhotep around 2800BCE. <strong>The</strong><br />

Israelites learnt of it in Egypt when they took part in the Hyksos invasion<br />

following provocation by the Pharaoh Sesôstris I.<br />

A nationalist revolt by Ahmose and his brother Kamose expelled<br />

the Hyksos in 1567BCE. <strong>The</strong> Israelite contingent did not return to<br />

Anatolia but congregated in Palestine and made the ancient sanctuary of<br />

Kadesh, previously known as Salem, into their city of Jerusalem.<br />

An expeditionary force of Tuthmose III captured Jerusalem in<br />

1480BCE. <strong>The</strong> Pharaoh recovered its treasures and artisans to Egypt.<br />

This was quite probably the enslavement of the Israelites. Ramses II<br />

shows us that Tuthmose III's Jerusalem campaign and his own campaign<br />

to Kadesh on the Orontes River became the primary symbolic act of a<br />

Pharaoh's goodness. Through suppression of the Hyksos peoples, the<br />

Pharaoh reaffirmed the stability of Egypt and his own identification with<br />

Amun.<br />

Nearly two thousand five hundred years after Tuthmose III, a<br />

group of French knights, who were later to become the Knights Templar,<br />

excavated under the temple in Jerusalem and found caches the Romans<br />

had not discovered. 1446 <strong>The</strong>y found Salem hidden records, wealth and<br />

technology. Perhaps they also found the mummies of Jacob and Joseph.<br />

Salem’s technology included the secret double pelican with two<br />

interlocking cucurbits for producing the sacramental Philosophers' Stone.<br />

It was called the Ancient of Days.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Cistercians owned the secret for a time and created the<br />

Knights Templar as guardians of the physical evidence. Stories of the<br />

important find leaked out to the public as Iranian Sufi inspired romances<br />
