ALAN BUTLER

Las Vidas de los Santos Padres, Mártires y otros Santos principales del reverendo Alban Butler se publicó en 1750. Esta nueva edición recoge las 235 entradas abreviadas de Butler y además una introduccion sobre la vida de su autor y un indice de 500 nombres de Santos con su onomastica. Al relato de las vidas virtuosas y ejemplares se unen 90 ilustraciones que emulan a las de la edicion del siglo XIX y 45 pinturas medievales de la British Library.

Las extraordinarias historias del Santo Grial han cautivado a los lectores desde la época medieval. El Grial es la copa de la que bebió Jesús en la Última Cena pero este símbolo se puede rastrear hasta mucho antes de la aparicion del cristianismo.Una serie de singulares descubrimientos relativos a la Edad del Bronce en Europa llevaron al investigador y escritor Alan Butler a reconsiderar que representa en realidad el Santo Grial. Y la ineludible verdad era que el Grial es un simbolo repleto de matices femeninos, y que su importante lugar en la religion moderna se debe a la subsistencia de un imperativo religioso que es probablemente tan antiguo como la misma humanidad.Este descubrimiento fue sumamente excitante, pero resulto ser solo la punta de un gran iceberg. A traves del colorido tapiz de la historia, Alan ha podido identificar lo que el mismo describe como un hilo de oro. Desde mucho antes de la aparicion del cristianismo, hubo personas que consagraron su vida a perpetuar las antiquisimas creencias religiosas centradas en torno a la Gran Diosa. Esta es una historia que abarca mas de cinco mil años, y que atañe a algunos de los grupos mas fascinantes y misteriosos de la historia, como el de la poderosa e influyente hermandad guerrera de la Orden del Temple.

Es la extraordinaria historia de cómo el estudio de una antigua unidad de medida -la yarda megalítica- conduce al descubrimiento de convincentes pruebas que tuvo que existir una civilización altamente avanzada anterior a las conocidas culturas sumeria y egipcia.Knight y Butler revelan los secretos de un sistema medico sorprendentemente integrado que desaparecio hace siglos pero que constituyo la base no solo del sistema metrico y el britanico, sino tambien de las construcciones de Stonehenge y las piramides. Dicho sistema implicaba un evolucionado conocimiento de las dimensiones, movimientos y relaciones de la Tierra, el Sol y la Luna.Asi pues, este libro pone en tela de juicio todo lo que pensabamos que sabiamos sobre los origenes del mundo moderno, y le da una nueva y asombrosa dimension.

La sola hipótesis de que la Luna pudiera haber sido contruida de manera artificial es tan extraordinaria que nuestro sentido común la desecha sin dudarlo. Este libro, sin embargo, nos invita a dejar a un lado nuestro natural escepticismo. en una exposicion gobernada por la logica, los autores nos presentan pruebas cientificas, argumentos matematicos y hechos irrefutables que nos conducen a unas sorprendentes y profundamente inquietantes conclusiones.La Luna, por su concreta posicion en el espacio, su volumen y su masa, ha sido un elemento fundamental en el desarrollo de formas de vida inteligentes sobre la Tierra. Sin embargo, los expertons estan de acuerdo en que la Luna no deberia estar donde esta ya que no obedece a las reglas conocidas de la astrofisica y no hay ninguna teoria suficientemente convincente sobre su origen.Es tambien sorprendente que la Luna se adecue con sospechosa precision a una medida de longitud prehistorica conocida como "la yarda megalitica", que los autores descubriron y divulgaron en su anterior libro, La primera civilizacion. Asi, la Luna es exactamente cuatrocientas veces menor que el Sol y se encuentra exactamente cuatrocientas veces mas cerca de la Tierra que este. Por otra lado, nuestro satelite tarda exactamente 10.000 dias terrestres en contemplar 366 orbitas de la Tierra.

Most leading scientists agree that the old idea that life on Earth sprang into existence thanks to some happy accident 3.7 billion years ago is provably wrong. Top astronomers, such as Carl Sagan and the discoverer of DNA, Francis Crick, believe that life must have been deliberately planted here. And many biologists have suggested that there are large areas of our DNA that may contain a huge message for us to unlock. Christopher Knight and Alan Butler have spent 25 years studying the issue, and now, they have published irrefutable evidence that not only was DNA seeded on our planet but that the Earth, Moon, and the asteroid Ceres were carefully manipulated to ensure that living creatures on Earth would evolve and prosper in what amounts to a gigantic incubator. In this book, they provide details of the existence of conspicuous instructions on how to unlock the communication contained within our DNA coding. This short book will revolutionise how we think about the origin of life on Earth and our next steps of development. The evidence is overwhelming - checkable by anyone with a basic calculator. The data provided cannot be wrong, and the consequences are world-changing. Our species has arrived at a turning point, the originator of the message has carefully timed its discovery to this precise moment - when we have developed multiple ways of obliterating ourselves if left to our own devices. The call is made for a multi-disciplinary team of global experts to be assembled to carry out the mission of fully unlocking and implementing the contents of this message from the beginning of time.

This page-turning study of the Giza pyramids, British henges, and the megalithic measuring system could completely change the way we view our remote pastand origins (Robert G. Bauval, author of The Orion Mystery) The suggestion that the Giza pyramids were laid out to represent the stars of Orions belt, with the position of the River Nile reflecting the Milky Way, was first put forward by the renowned author Robert Bauval in his bestselling book The Orion Mystery. In Before the Pyramids, Christopher Knight and Alan Butler reveal that the British henges were arranged in the same formationbut much earlier. They also present irrefutable evidence that the astronomical calculations determining the layout of the pyramids could only have been made from the site of the henges in North Yorkshire. From this they can conclude that the pyramids of the pharaohs were conceived and planned in Britain. Their next stunning discovery takes us to modern times. They have found evidence that the whole Megalithic measuring system has survived into the 20th century. There are examples in Washington, DCeven in the positioning and construction of the Pentagon, which was only commenced in 1942 and is an exact copy of the dimensions of Stonehenge, dating to 3,000 BC.

The modern world looks back towards Ancient Greece for the start of its philosophy, for the origins of its science and even for the foundations of its excursion into democracy. But is this either correct or fair? Was there something long, long before the City States of Greece flirted with geometry, astronomy and inclusive politics from which Greece itself developed, merely as a pale reflection?Alan Butler has put together his most exhaustive and yet most compelling presentation of how we came to be what we are today. The Dawn Genius explores the genius that was the Minoan civilization and shows how accounts of the fabled Atlantis were actually memories of a worldwide catastrophe that occurred around 1600 BC.The Dawn of Genius puts back into the place the missing pieces of the puzzle that is Europe prior to a massive watershed in population and culture that took place after 2000 BC. A cataclysmic volcanic eruption in the Eastern Mediterranean destroyed an almost totally forgotten infrastructure that encompassed an entire continent, and opened Europe to an unparalleled invasion of much less sophisticated people from the East. The book recreates the culture and religion and scientific knowledge that was shattered in an instant and which plunged the world into a dark age from which it has taken over 3,000 years to emerge.This is probably the most comprehensive explanation of mysteries from a truly ancient world that has ever been written. Those interested in exploring the genuine origins of the modern world are certain to be enthralled.

The authors of Civilization One return present new evidence about the Moon that will shake up our world. What if the Moon isnt a natural objectbut an artificial construct? Christopher Knight and Alan Butler realized that the ancient system of geometry they presented in their earlier, breakthrough study works as perfectly for the Moon as it does the Earth. On further investigation, they found a consistent sequence of beautiful integer numbers when looking at every major aspect of the Moonno such pattern emerges for any other planet or moon in the solar system. Knight and Butler also discovered that the Moon possesses few or no heavy metals and has no coresomething that should not be possible. Their persuasive conclusion: if higher life only developed on Earth because the Moon is exactly what it is and where it is, it becomes unreasonable to cling to the idea that the Moon is a natural object. The only question that remains is, who built it?

How a quest to crack the mystery of the Megalithic Yard led to the discovery of compelling evidence pointing to the existence of a highly advanced culture predating the earliest known civilizations There must have been a civilization one. Knight and Butler reveal the secrets of an extraordinary, integrated measuring system which might have been lost to the world for ever. It was a system, far more advanced than anything used today, which forms the basis of both the Imperial and Metric measure systems. These ancient scientists understood the dimensions, motions and relationships of the Earth, Moon and Sunthey measured the solar system and even understood how the speed of light was integrated into the movements of our planet. Their conclusions fly in the face of everything that we thought we knew about the origins of the modern worldbut the evidence is incontrovertible.

Explores how a secret cabal of influential families has shaped the United States according to the principles of sacred geometry and Goddess veneration Exposes the esoteric influences behind the National Grange Order of Husbandry Examines the sacred design and hidden purpose of the Washington Monument Reveals how the three obelisks in New York City depict the stars of Orions Belt Explains how every baseball diamond is actually a temple to the Goddess In America: Nation of the Goddess, Alan Butler and Janet Wolter reveal how a secret cabal of influential Venus families with a lineage tracing back to the Eleusinian Mysteries has shaped the history of the United States since its founding. The evidence for such incredible assertions comes from American institutions such as the National Grange Order of Husbandry and from the man-made landscape of the United States where massive structures and whole cities conform to an agenda designed to elevate the feminine within religion and society. The authors explain how the Venus families, working through the Freemasons and later the Grange, planned the American Revolution and the creation of the United States. It was this group who set the stage for the Founding Fathers to create Washington, D.C., according to the principles of sacred geometry, with an eye toward establishing the New Jerusalem. The authors explore the sacred design of the Washington Monument, revealing its occult purpose and connections to the heavens. They reveal how the obelisks in New York City depict the stars of Orions Belt just like the Giza pyramids and how the site of one of them, St. Pauls Chapel, is the American counterpart to Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland. Exposing the strong esoteric influences behind the establishment of the Grange in the United States, they connect this apparently conservative order of farmers to the Venus families and trace its lineage back to the Cisterians, who were a major voice in the promotion of the Crusades and the establishment of the Knights Templar. The authors conclude with the startling revelation that nearly every city in America has a temple to the Goddess hidden in plain sight--their baseball diamonds--exposing the extent to which the Venus families are still at work behind the scenes.

THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE AND COMPELLING BOOK EVER WRITTEN ABOUT THE SECRET SOCIETY THAT SHAPED THE MODERN WORLD. Freemasonry, with its arcane rituals, occult symbols, and labyrinthine hierarchy, has mystifi ed the outside world for centuries. But it has become apparent that even the most senior Freemasons do not understand its ancient origins or purpose. So what is this powerful and arcane organization really for? In this eye-opening account, two seasoned researchers show that todays Freemasons are the spiritual descendants of an ancient priesthood that was forced to act in secrecy. They predicted the birth of the coming Messiah, and Jesus Christ was part of their mission. Soon after the Crucifi xion they were nearly wiped out by a program of mass genocide conducted by the Romans; later, in feudal Europe, they grew to a position of unparalleled power before being branded as heretics and forced underground. But they could not be stopped, and they continued to work in subtle, sometimes subversive, always anonymous, ways to pursue their objectivea new world order that put God above, and yet out of, human affairs.

Rosslyn Chapel is a deeply enigmatic 15th-century Gothic masterpiece, situated near Edinburgh. Although generally referred to as a chapel and acting as a local parish church these days, Rosslyn is actually much more than either - and in fact most people who have studied the site in detail come to the conclusion that those who created the structure in the 15th century were not, in reality, intent on building a Christian church at all. In fact, nothing at Rosslyn is what it seems. With its overpowering air of mystery, its superlative stone carvings and its strong Templar and Freemasonic connections, Rosslyn represents one of the most absorbing historical puzzles in Britain. The discovery of new evidence by the authors puts a new slant on the motivations of those who decided to create a New Jerusalem in the Scottish Lowlands. The signs pointed the authors to a lost holy relic - the skull of St Matthew the Evangelist, in whose name the chapel is dedicated. There is startling evidence that this skull came to Rosslyn in the early 15th century, brought there by polymath, librarian and all-round genius Sir Gilbert Hay, who also put together a substantial library.What follows is no less than an adventure, using the clues from the lost books to locate St Matthews skull - now in Washington, DC. The authors also embark on a thorough examination of Rosslyn Chapels credentials, both a Christian church and as an icon of the impending Renaissance, a reconstruction of King Solomons Temple and an astronomical observatory - all suffused with ancient beliefs that would have had the chapels builders burned at the stake if their true motivations had been discovered.
