THE ORIGINAL TEXTUAL PROPHECY:
In 1558 the renowned French seer Nostradamus wrote the following prophetic verse:
Qui ouvrira le monument trouvé,
Et ne viendra le serer promptement,
Mai lui viendra, et ne purra prouver
Si mieux doit être Roi Breton ou Normand.
Century IX, Quatrain 7
This verse can be translated in the following manner:
LINE ONE:
Qui ouvrira le monument trouvé—“(He) who will open the monument (Latin monumentum, memorial, tomb) found.”
These words introduce Nostradamus’ predictive description of the most celebrated archaeological discovery of the twentieth century—the unearthing of the tomb of Tutankhamen in 1922, in the Valley of the Kings on the West Bank from the city of Luxor, in southern Egypt.
The Valley was known to the eighty Pharaohs who were buried here among its cliff walls during the Eighteenth to the Twentieth Dynasties as the “Place of Truth.” It stretched out beneath the highest of the Theban mountains, a pyramid-shaped summit known today as El Qurn. Between 1875 and 1922, the greater majority of the Valley tombs had been located and entered by various international archaeological expeditions, and all were found to have been already plundered by the robbers of previous ages. By the turn of the century, only a very few excavators persisted in believing the Valley still held Pharaonic burial artifacts that had managed to remain untouched, hidden and silent amid the tombs already known.
One such man who was steadfast in his searchings was Englishman Howard Carter. His determination paid off when, on November 2, 1922, one of his Egyptian workers, a young boy, found a stone step which was to prove to be the first in a dozen leading down to the famed sealed tomb and golden treasure of Tutankhamen that have since become synonymous with the ancient land of Egypt itself.
In Nostradamus’ verse, the person being described, who was to suffer the mysterious fate depicted in lines two and three, was not Howard Carter but rather his benefactor and patron, Lord Carnarvon. Upon the initial discovery of the stairway to the tomb, Cater had the excavation reburied, and sent a telegram to England to Lord Carnarvon urging him to come to Egypt so that he may take part in the full opening in person. Not until after Lord Carnarvon arrived, in November 24th, were the steps cleared again and the entrance seals finally broken.
The wording the prophet gave indicates that the person being portrayed was one who was to “open” the tomb, yet who had not “found” it himself. True to the prophecy, while it was Carter who made the hole in the last doorway and remarked that he could see “wonderful things” beyond in the dim light of his candle flame, it was Carnarvon who was given the privilege to be the first to enter the tomb itself, once the hole had been enlarged.
LINE TWO:
Et ne viendra le serer promptement—“And (he) will not come to close it promptly.” What the prophet warned the openers about Tutankhamen’s tomb had to do with what the ancient Egyptians understood concerning the nature of sacred architecture. The priests and priestesses of the Mystery Schools of old were well aware that every shape generates its own energy field. Much has been rediscovered today about “pyramid power,” as has been studied by pyramid researchers. However, the pyramid is only one architectural form; the Egyptians were masters at combining different forms in order to create different types of energy patterns, all of which had particular vibrational effects upon the Initiates who entered within, in an effort to help them achieve higher states of consciousness.
On the other hand, in order to protect their tombs, the Egyptians often used energy-form architecture in a negative sense, designing the sepulchral chambers in such a way as to set up vibrations that could disrupt the various body levels of any intruder.
The one very important element which allowed priests and priestesses to periodically enter the tombs unharmed, so that they could attend to the Ka spirit of the deceased, was that the energy patterns created were influenced by the movements of the Sun, Moon and planets, in a similar way that the ocean’s tides rise and fall with the Moon. In the Temples the days when the positive energies were enhanced were marked by special days of Initiation and celebration. In the tombs, it was the days when the heavenly cycles caused the negative energies to drop below the danger levels that entrance could be safely made. But these times were known only to the attending priesthood, kept secret to protect the tombs, and were certainly not known to the openers in 1922, with disastrous results.
Another important factor the Egyptians also recognized in utilizing energy-form architecture is that, because each individual has a slightly different life force energy field—one with its own particular astrological signature based on where and when the Sun, Moon and planets happen to be in the heavens at the moment of birth—the vibrational effects of energy-forms have different potencies at different times. Depending on the architectural design, the patterns can be powerful enough to cause positive or negative changes for most people coming in contact with them, or they can be very selective, affecting only certain people, and not others.
This is the reason why—though a high percentage of the workers who became involved with the excavation, study, cataloguing and removing of the treasures from Tutankhamen’s tomb did indeed die under tragic or enigmatic circumstances—a majority nevertheless remained unharmed, to live long and healthy lives. Howard Carter, who perhaps more than any other person spent the most time in the tomb and with its treasures, and who played a prominent role in the unwrapping of the mummy, never once succumbed to the “curse of the Pharaohs,” dying of old age in 1939.
Lord Carnarvon, however, did succumb, and it was to him that Nostradamus addressed his warning to “close (the tomb) promptly.” If he like others had waited for the right astrological moment, based on their own birth horoscope charts, they might have safely entered at the right time and remained unscathed.
Carter, who was guided as much by his intuition as his knowledge, managed to avoid the danger periods for himself. Tragically, Carnarvon, the more pragmatic of the two, fell victim to the ancient protective mechanisms.
The prophet, in foreseeing what was to happen to the openers of Tutankhamen’s tomb, was also giving an important lesson to take heed of, for the coming Openers of the Hall of Records. Whatever the chambers, known and unknown, they may yet penetrate in order to receive the necessary keys for them to enter the Hall, the importance of cosmic timing will be very crucial. This is also the reason why there will be more than one “window” timing for when the Openings are to take place. Because of the selective energy-form protections for the Hall, only certain individuals will be allowed inside at certain specific times, based on their own astrological signatures.
LINE THREE:
Mal lui viendra, et ne pourra prouver—“Evil will come to him, and one will not be able to prove.”
The first phrase of this line, “Evil will come to him,” echoes the warning found in hieroglyphs near the tomb entrance, and summarizes the fate that befell Lord Carnarvon. On February 28, 1923, following the official opening of Tutankhamen’s tomb to the public, Carnarvon departed for a brief rest at Aswan. He was visibly exhausted, his life force having been drained by his long hours in the energy debilitating sepulchral chambers. Soon after his arrival in Aswan, he was bitten on the cheek by a mosquito. Within days, despite the best antiseptics and medicines available, the sore festered, Carnarvon’s temperature rose sharply, and he went into delirium. Unable to replenish the self-healing powers of his full life force potential, or to re-balance his physical-emotional-mental-spiritual well-being, the slightest invasion of infection proved to be fatal to his system. By April 5 he was dead, a little over three months from the day he first set foot in the tomb.
The second phrase of this line is interlinked with the elements of line four, and needs to be read with it.
LINE FOUR:
Si mieux doit être Roi Bretonou Normand—“If better would be King Breton or Normand.” The obscure expression combination here suggests we are dealing with pieces of word bytes which were meant to be reassembled into a different pattern. One solution is that the prophet had in mind two subjects to be the intended focus, not one. The “King” who is the one “found” in line one was of course Pharaoh Tutakhamen. The understood subject, however, is the one who was to “open” the tomb, and Nostradamus may have hinted that the options could have been either British or French. “Breton” and “Norman” can refer to Brittany and Normandy, in northern France; or they can point to “Britain” and “Norman,” the latter having been the rulers of England since the Battle of Hastings in 1066. It is most significant that, if Howard Carter had not remained stubborn in his search for the missing tomb, the French members of the Antiquities Service, led by Pierre Lacau, would have very likely taken up the quest instead. As it was, when Howard Carter returned to Tutankhamen’s tomb in 1925 to unwrap the Pharaoh’s mummy, he was assisted by Lacau, so that both an Englishman and a Frenchman were at hand to complete the prophecy.
If, however, we add the last phrase of line three to the element here, there is a deeper level of interpretation which may be penetrated. Despite the great quantity of treasure discovered amid the burial chambers, there was something else present that neither Lord Carnarvon, or Carter, or most of the other investigators of Tutankhamen’s artifacts have yet found—something they “will not be able to prove,” demonstrate, reveal, uncover, understand, decipher.
The final mystery may not be in the treasures themselves, but rather in what hieroglyph and image symbolism was etched into them. There are numerous engravings, especially those on the golden walls of the five shrines, that are of a highly esoteric nature, and have not yet been fully explained. And while the various hieroglyph inscriptions have been translated in their usual ideographic sense, there may exist another unknown level of interpretation.
It is not without some degree of significance that the words BRETON NORMAND form the anagram for TRESOR NOM D’OR, or the “Treasure of the Name of Gold.” This could refer to the Golden Horus title of Tutankhamen, which was one of his five royal names. Or it may refer to a more secretive message hidden somewhere within the various funerary texts and inscriptions. Whatever it is, the hidden “words of power” were considered by Nostradamus to be a far greater treasure than all the gold contained in the tomb. As esoteric studies reveal about Tutankhamen, the young Pharaoh knew that he was the last of his family line who could have opened the Hall of Records in his lifetime, and when he realized that the great Opening event would have to be postponed to a yet future Age, he may have ordered the secret “Words of Power,” the “Name of Openings,” to be hidden away among his burial artifacts, to one day be rediscovered and utilized by the Openers of the lost Hall returned again. The fact that Tutankhamen’s tomb was allowed to be discovered and entered within the last century means that the time is right once more for the Opening event to potentially take place today.
THE INTERPRETED PROPHECY:
The tomb of Tutankhamen was spiritually protected and not allowed to be unearthed until our time. When the right moment came, the right individuals were on hand to open the tomb to all the world. Among those who entered, some lived and some died, to demonstrate that, even across the Ages, the power of selected destiny still holds true. The real treasure of Tutankhamen, however, a secret message the Pharaoh left among his golden artifacts, will yet prove to be a vital key in the search for the Hall of Records.
NEW FINDINGS:
Recently, a number of Egyptologists representing various disciplines have made a significant re-assessment of the tomb of Tutankhamen and its contents, and have come to some startling and unexpected conclusions. What clues the experts have discovered from both the Pharaoh’s mummified remains, and from a thorough examination of his golden treasures, reflects on the troubled events which once took place three and a half millennia ago surrounding the life and death of the famed teenage boy ruler.
A new detailed autopsy of Tutankhamen’s body has revealed two notable peculiarities—a badly broken leg and a prominent hole in the back of his head. Some investigators feel the boy king may have suffered these serious injuries during hunting or chariot racing, either one of which could have led to septic infection and untimely death. However, while the broken leg may have been accidental, the evidence for a heavy blow to the rear of the cranium from behind is more suggestive of deliberate murder. The major suspect in this crime was probably his vizier and guardian, named Ay, who succeeded him to the rulership of Egypt.
Whatever the cause, the sudden demise of the young Pharaoh would have precipitated a major religious crisis. In ancient Egyptian traditions of royal internment, which had already been strictly adhered to for over a thousand years, the mummification and burial of the primary ruler of the realm always took place within seventy days of his death.
While Tutankhamen directly inherited the throne of the Nile at nine years old, his ability to rule was held in regency by his vizier and guardian, Ay, until the boy came of age ten years later. The young teenager was officially crowned as reigning Pharaoh barely a year before tragically dying, which means there had not been sufficient time enough to begin preparing and decorating a royal tomb for him.
It was the religious duty of the next succeeding Pharaoh—in this case, Tutankhamen’s scheming vizier, Ay—to oversee that the continuity of rulership be maintained by completing the burial rituals and closing up the remains of his predecessor. But with no tomb and no as yet accumulated internment treasure, Ay had no choice but to improvise the best he could, and quickly try to do the task all in the allotted seventy days of the burial process.
It is precisely this very hurried nature in the preparation of Tutankhamen’s mummy, the artistic execution of his tomb, and the discovery of the real sources of where his famed burial golden treasures came from, that have now been well-documented by modern research.
Here are some of the peculiarities surrounding Tutankhamen’s final legacy:
*Compared with other examined royal mummies from the contemporary Eighteenth Dynasty, Tutankhamen’s prepared body was apparently a rushed and inferior job, with an overabundant use of funerary resin to cover his body and the errors made by the preparers. When the corpse was moved into his burial vault for its final wrapping and decoration, the Pharaoh’s head had snapped off and had to be glued back on with still more resin.
*The tomb itself, composed of just four cramped rooms, is by far the smallest in the Valley of the Kings. It is now thought that this had actually been Ay’s tomb, who had secretly been plotting to become Pharaoh and ordered the start of its excavation during his regency. With nothing else available, Ay out of necessity was forced to hastily refurbish his own vault in order to fulfill his obligations as the overseer of Tutankhamen’s final internment
*The main wall painting in Tutankhamen’s burial chamber depicts something never seen before or since in Egyptian funerary art—the newly enthroned Pharaoh Ay is shown in the religious ritual of “opening the mouth” of the previous now deceased Pharaoh Tutankhamen, accompanied by his widowed sister-wife, Ankhesenoamun, who Ay married to legitimze his rule. Ay, as the very first painted figure, probably already had his picture in place, intended to be part of his own tomb portrayals. But with the young Pharaoh’s imminent burial in the same location instead, this Ay picture then had to be incorporated into the revized funerary wall composition for Tutankhamen. The rest of the mural figures show signs of having been done in a slapdash fashion, as evident by the subsequent rapid deterioration of the inferior artwork.
*A close-up examination of the surfaces of the stone sarcophagus in which Tutankhamen’s body still rests today reveals the subtle marks of a re-tooling and re-carving, tell-tale signs that this burial box had not originally been designed for Tutankhamen, but for someone else.
*Without a doubt the best indications of the race that had gone on to get Tuankhamen interred as quickly as possible are found among the now famous golden treasures Howard Carter discovered in 1922 that were buried with the boy king.
There were all told about 3,500 separate funerary items, but of these only one in five had anything to do with having once belonged to the Pharaoh himself, or portrayed him during his lifetime, especially accompanied by his queen. The rest of the objects, determined to consist of at least eighty percent of the cache, are now recognized as having been plundered by Ay form other royal tombs of Tutankhamen’s immediate predecessors, recycled and used to fill up his burial vaults. Ransacked, refashioned and re-interred were objects that once had belonged to the funerary caches of Queen Tiye, Queen Kiya, Akhnaten, Nefertiti and Smenkhare (who was actually Nefertiti when she briefly reigned alone after Akhenaten died).
For years it has been obvious to most art experts that the various facial portraits of Tutankhamen do not match, especially as they appear on his four coffins enclosed within each other. One of the golden profiles bears closer resemblance to that of his father, Akhnaten, while that of the third outer coffin had been undoubtedly fashioned for a female ruler, most likely Nefertiti. But the original face had been sheared off and a new facial plate bolted on in its place.
Equally noticeable are the portraits observed on the beautiful white alabaster canopic jars that were also part of Tutankhamen’s treasure. They bear a decidedly feminine complexion, and because of the extremely delicate nature of the stonework could not have been recarved. Tutankhamen’s likeness is faintly there, but only because the real artistic subject had been an immediate member of his family line, either Queens Tiye, Kiya or Nefertiti.
Most important, many of the items suspected as having been pilfered from other tombs bear royal titles and religious devices that were employed during the previous Amarna age and the worship of the one god Aten, under Akhnaten and Nefertiti. They would not have been otherwise used during the succeeding reactionary age and the return of the worship of Amun, when Tutankhamen was reigning. The presence of such distinctive signature indicators—the use of which would have been considered sacrilegious and heretical had the tomb been decorated under normal circumstances—points instead to the hurried and haphazard manner in which the funerary treasures were chosen, crammed into the vaults and eventually sealed inside.
There had been no time, with only seventy days to complete the job, of reviewing all the religious script on every incorporated object, and try to conform them to the accepted prevailing belief system that had been recently changed back from Atenism to Amunism.
THE NOSTRADAMIAN IMPLICATIONS:
What is highly significant is that Nostradamus, in the verse given above about the prophetic vision of the finding of Tutankhamen’s tomb, specifically pointed to the peculiarities of the “names of gold” or royal titles discovered among its treasures as holding clues to secrets yet to be revealed. There is no way that he could have anticipated by any historical means alonge that Tutankhamen’s cache would have been unique in the annals of all of ancient Egypt’s excavated royal burials—that it would contain not only the boy king’s sacred names but those of the rest of his family line as well, in particular those used by Akhnaten and Nefertiti.
But why would this have been considered so important to the prophet?
According to many esoteric sources, including Nostradamus himself (Century VIII, Quatrain 97), it will take a minimum of three individuals to one day open the Giza Hall of Records. Some traditions anticipate the three will be composed of two men and a woman.
There are additional legends and stories which claim that the real secret behind the heretical Amarna revolution of Akhnaten and Nefertiti was they planned to open the lost Hall themselves in their lifetimes, to make Egypt the most powerful nation in the world of their day.
Their promulgation of Aten as the sole deity above all other gods was to attempt to raise the collective consciousness of all their fellow Egyptians to a new level, in order for them to understand the fuller implications of the High Wisdom the Hall would reveal to them.
Likewise, the royal couples’ moving of the capital of Egypt, from Thebes to a newly built city of their own design at a site now called Amarna, was to prepare it as a special learning center in which the knowledge to come forth from the opened Hall could be carefully studied and incorporated into a new global society.
Not without significance is the fact that, while Akhnaten banned almost all existing religious symbols except the Aten Disk of the Sun and the Ankh Key of Life, neither did he touch the image of the Sphinx. In fact in one of his self-portrayals, Akhnaten is shown as the reclining Sphinx itself, with his own distinctive royal head and face, and in his paws he holds two containers filled with the gifts of Sacred Wisdom—found beneath the monument in the Hall of Records.
The only thing missing from the royal couples’ fulfilling the prophecy was the appearance of the third member of the Triad of Openers, another male. They were convinced that this would be their son yet to be born. But try as they would they failed in this endeavor. Nefertiti as the chief royal wife produced six daughters but no male offspring. Akhnaten, as was the religious practice of the time, married Nefertiti’s half-sister, and even his own daughters in a desperate attempt to secure a male heir.
Eventually by such means Tutankhamen and his twin sister were born, but by then it was too late. The Egyptian populous, still clinging to their old polytheistic beliefs, were led into rebellion by the Amun priesthood who had lost their power under Atenism, and vehemently opposed the one god concept. The land of the Nile was also assailed by foreign armies and by plague. Both the disease and the rebellion finally overwhelmed Akhnaten, who died in his seventeenth year of rulership, his great vision and great work left incomplete. The new capital was subsequently overrun and abandoned, while Nefertiti tried to reign alone for only two more years under the royal title of Ankhkhepherure Smenkhare, after which she vanished from history.
Finally, the reinstated Amun priesthood in Thebes led by Ay restored to power the only surviving members of the royal line, very young Tutankhamen and his sister-wife, but under Ay’s controlling regency. When the two teenagers came of age a decade later, and learned of their predecessors’ secret plan for opening the Hall of Records, they accepted such a dream as their goal as well. Yet this was regarded as a new threat to the conservative forces back in power.
The young royal couple attempted to once again produce through their own offspring the third member of the prophesied Triad of Openers, but tragically only managed to have two stillborn children, whose bodies were buried with Tutankhamen in his tomb.
Once coming of age to fully take the throne, which also gave them the opportunity and power to revive Atenism and the Hall opening agenda, their intentions only proved disastrous. After Tutankhamen suffered a near-fatal accident, Ay conveniently completed the Pharaoh’s elimination with murder. His sister was married off to Ay and then also conveniently disappeared. In only two years, however, the plotting Ay himself was murdered by his arch-rival Horemheb, a local general who seized power to become the next ruler.
While the attempt to prepare the way of the opening of the Hall of Records failed, the prophecy still remains. And the keys to that event may have been purposely left to us by the followers of Tutankhamen himself.
When Ay filled Tutankhamen’s tomb with the treasures from the other two original potential Openers—Akhnaten and Nefertiti—were secret members of the now outlawed Aten priesthood part of the group who helped choose and transport the absconded funerary items? Did they deliberately include key objects with specific names and royal titles that may serve as part of a code of clues giving directions to other discoveries yet to be made?
In another two of his visionary verses—Century VI, Quatrains 76 and 71—Nostradamus hinted at another hidden treasure of information secreted away by Akhnaten that will one day reveal his connection to the Hall of Records, and its eventual opening for all the world in our future.
Does a more cryptic translation of the royal titles found in Tutankhamen’s tomb produce a form of three-dimensional map for the location of this still missing treasure from the Amarna age? Or do the funerary titles instead point the way to unearthing the Hall of Records itself?
