Is Scotland named after an Egyptian princess? Timothy Hogan says Akhenaten's daughter, Princess Scota, went up to Scotland, and that the country takes its name from her. #Akhenaten#Scotland
Dying and rising appears in the rites of Osiris and in Mithraic rites. Timothy Hogan says there were around 16 messiahs before Jesus who died and came back, and the Templars read it all as metaphor. #KnightsTemplar#Osiris
Part of the reason Portugal owns the Azores, Timothy Hogan says, is that the Templars believed the Azores were one of the places Atlantis had been. #KnightsTemplar#Atlantis
The original name of Egypt was Kemet, and Timothy Hogan says this is where the word alchemy comes from. Alchemy sought the Philosopher's Stone, said to raise consciousness, restore youth, and turn base metals into gold. #Alchemy#KnightsTemplar
For the first 9 years, Timothy Hogan says, the Knights Templar had just 9 members. Protecting every pilgrim who came to the Holy Land with 9 people, he says, would be ridiculous. #KnightsTemplar#HolyLand
Templar burial vaults in Istanbul, Timothy Hogan says, hold Jewish, Christian, Muslim, and Druze Templars buried together. For him, that flies in the face of the idea that they were just a Roman Catholic order. #KnightsTemplar#Istanbul
One Knights Templar seal, found on the order's old documents, bore the figure of Abraxas. Timothy Hogan presents it as part of how we know the Templars were passing on a Gnostic tradition. #KnightsTemplar#Abraxas
For the first 8 years, Timothy Hogan says, the Templar Order did little of its official work. Its cover hid a different task: digging under the Temple Mount. #KnightsTemplar#TempleMount
In the Valley of the Queens, Timothy Hogan points to a Queen Maya tomb with Mayan art. On Elephantine Island, he says, a closed temple shows Egyptians meeting Mayans in traditional headdresses. #AncientEgypt#Maya
The Cathars, the original Albigensians, held a communion known as the Mani Sola ceremony. Timothy Hogan connects it to mana, an alchemical substance said to heal the body and raise consciousness. #Cathars#Alchemy
Why were the Templars called the Poor Knights of Christ? Timothy Hogan explains that Gnostic Cathar families called themselves the Poor of Christ, and that the Templars adopted the same red equal-armed cross from the Cathars. #KnightsTemplar#Cathars
The Great Pyramid is not an inert structure. Timothy Hogan explains that the sheer weight of its two million stone blocks - ranging from three to seventy tons each - creates piezoelectric pressure throughout the limestone, generating an electronic charge within the stone itself.
Place a capacitor inside the King’s Chamber sarcophagus with a superconductive substance, and that ambient charge would build over hours or days into an immense concentration of electrical energy...
...where the force said to have moved the Easter Island statues carries the same name. The Tibetan tradition calls the white stone of enlightenment Mani - and the thread running through every one of these traditions is identical.
The word manna appears across ancient civilizations with a consistency that, within the Templar tradition, points to a single underlying substance rather than a coincidence of language. Timothy Hogan traces it through the Ethiopian Kebra Nagast...
...where King Solomon’s flying craft is said to be powered by manna; through the ancient Vedic texts, where flying craft are called vimana; through Sumerian accounts of the Anunnaki, whose craft are referred to as shimano; and into Polynesian tradition...
...and the same root running through the Manichean movement that spread from Egypt all the way into China. What the Cathars were passing down through that ceremony, and what the Templars inherited from them, was a living alchemical practice encoded inside a communion rite.
The Albigensian Cathars, the tradition the Templar order directly emerged from, were preserving something far older than medieval Christianity in their communion ceremony. Timothy Hogan identifies that ceremony as the Mani Solar ritual...
...a practice centered not on bread and wine but on manna, the alchemical substance the tradition understands as monatomic gold. The name itself carries the thread: manna in the biblical record, mani in the Tibetan and Buddhist traditions...
