We heard reports of the discovery of the three chambers from several sources in Egypt. Interestingly, it was reported on the Academy website (http://academy.wwdc.comlarchivesll13.htmf) in January 1998 that Dannion Brinkley claimed that he had received the same information directly from Dr Zahi Hawass himself.

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to Said (Legends of the Sphinx video), at this stage he had not been told by Schor that the project’s licence had been revoked.

However, a similar mistake is by Hoagland himself, who gives this as the latitude of the City (The Monuments of Mars, p326). These errors have no bearing on the central point, which is that the apparently precise latitudes used by Hoagland and Torun are, in fact, wrong.

77 On Art Bell’s radio show in May 1997, Hoagland claimed that he had information that NASA were suppressing pictures of Hale-Bopp that had been taken with the Hubble telescope, and appealed to listeners to lobby the space agency for their release. In response, NASA pointed out that it had issued some 4,500 images of the comet on the Internet, including those taken by Hubble.

13 Puharich and Hurkos’s mission concerned the ‘Acámbaro figurines’, interest in which has recently revived. 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).
The exact purpose of Puharich and Hurkos’s visit to Acámbaro is unknown, as both men give reticent accounts of this episode. Puharich says only that the visit was made to ‘help solve an archaeological problem’ (Uri, p18) In his autobiography, Hurkos (who makes no mention of the meeting with the Laugheads) states only that the visit was made at the request of a ‘man connected with the [Round Table] foundation’ and that, although he discovered some ‘statues’ using his psychic abilities, they were not allowed to take them out of Mexico, as they had no permit (Hurkos, pp162-4)

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.
