The whole next day I was occupied by the statistics of September, 7 events. This day wasn’t as much different from the others: sufficient amount of murders, fires, robberies, rapes – usual statistics of crimes for such mega polis as London. But in the department of unsuccessful crimes my attention was attracted by the numerical measure of one of them: on September 7 there happened an incident between security officer and the first pilot on the board of airliner belonging to Iran Air Company and committing a flight Teheran-London. One of passengers was trying to penetrate into the cockpit, assuring the security officer that he was acquainted with the first pilot. There followed a fight, in which the first pilot was involved. The plane, with 430 passengers aboard, made an emergency landing in Frankfurt am Main. I was astonished by resemblance of this situation with one of planes-killers of flights №11 and № 175, attacking two towers of WTC on September 11 – the sum of number of passengers coincided with the date of catastrophe. In other words, in unsuccessful catastrophe with Iran airliner was founded the same numerical measure with which was marked 11 September tragedy (September 7 – 430 passengers: the sum is seven in both cases).

All week before Holmes’s return I was reading a lot. “The Invisible Hand” by Ralph Epperson was filled with facts, which I was a little interested in earlier. But from studying it, I understood that everything was not so fine, as mass media tried to assure us. Thus, I’ve found there with great interest the little known facts of many-centuries political activity of Rothschilds, the backstage side of Russian Revolution and both World Wars history; the detailed story about real aims and practice of using the Federal Reserve System in USA. I was rather surprised, that lightning of these facts differs a great deal from propaganda clichés, abundant in our press.

Essentially, the book represented thoroughly documented analogue of well-known “Protocols of Zion sages”. In the West the majority of those who heard about the “Protocols” are firmly and sincerely convinced, that they are just libellous forgery. And all mass media regularly return to the theme of proving of that they were counterfeit, if they have nothing more interesting to public. But however, I could remember not a single attempt of any popular edition to argue with the information of Epperson or that somebody tried to bring him to justice for his slander. It’s strange, isn’t it?

While I was reading and thinking about what I’ve read, the interconnection and mutual conditioning of the events which seemed independent from each other before. May be, it was for my certain mood, but I unintentionally was tracing the obvious analogy between the events of deep past and tragic events of present and I was coming to some conclusions for the future.

The book “The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail” was very like an absorbing detective story, though I found there, as well as in “The invisible hand”, plenty of interesting historical facts, of which I had only vague view before. The main idea of the book was that Jesus Christ didn’t die on the cross. The crucifixion was a performance, and after it he had been living yet for long years. And his descendants, “moving” to the territory of contemporary France, founded the dynasty of Merovings. And all following European history consists of conflict between Merovings and Pope, breaking some agreements. The aim of this struggle, as it could be seen from the book, is to raise the descendants of Christ from the descendants of Merovings to the thrones of the entire world states.

This can be considered strange, but the book mentioned the “Protocols” as well, but its authors insisted that it was inner document of Masonry lodge, defending Merovings and having a title of “Zion community”. After that the documents had got publicity outside it, and by the ignorance of those who possessed them, was associated with the congress of Zionists in Basel in 1897, where they say “the Zion sages” were in session. And because of this assonance: “ZION community” and “the congress of ZIONISTS” appeared a mistake, which lead many calamities of the 20^th century. All this was rather convincingly rendered, if only… not to read those books together. But the examination of them both raised a question – how to deal with the information reported by R. Epperson.

If trying to appreciate in whole the signification of books I’ve read, I can say, that they showed me entirely the effect of those six generalized means of ruling, which I encountered reading the review on Z. Brzezinski “The Grand Chessboard”. After that I started to understand that for completing the excurse in global historical process I should come closer to its sources, and it means – to meet with history of ancient Egypt, because the events which took place there 4000 years ago somehow became the touchstone of the “Historical Picnic”.

In my home library there was a book by Sir James Henry Breasted “The history of Egypt”. In its fifth volume the 18th chapter was called “Religious revolution by Ehnaton”, and from it I learnt, that the tenth Pharaoh of XVIII dynasty (again – magic of numbers: 18th chapter about XVIII dynasty) Amenhotep IV rebelled against zhretses of ancient Amon-Ra cult, left the southern and the northern capitals of Egypt (Thebes and Memphis) and built new capital almost in the middle of the way from one to another – it was devoted to god Aton and was called Ahetaton (“Horizon of Aton”). After 17-years ruling of Ehnaton and 3-years ruling of his successor Smenhkar, who was the husband of Meritaton – the eldest daughter of Pharaoh – husband of the third Ehnaton’s daughter – nine-years-old boy Tutanhaton – ascended the throne. Amon’s zhretses didn’t reconcile with losing power of their cult, and they made Tutanhaton leave new capital and accept new name – Tutanhamon. I could see, that the report of the “Historical Picnic” authors about the struggle for the throne between Ehnaton and Tutanhamon, to put it mildly, had nothing in common with the reality, but “the struggle of two great party religions of gods Aton and Amon” perhaps took place indeed. It began not in times of Ehnaton’s ruling, but much earlier, and if, according to the authors of the “picnic”, this struggle lasts until today, it’s very important to understand the ideas of both opposite sides, why do they oppose each other for 4000 years? Studying the works of Breasted and other Egyptologists, I became more and more convinced that Ehnaton was the first who officially declared the idea of monotheism to the world. And moreover besides doing this, he started to teach people the norms of direct communication between each of them and God. But the hymns of Ehnaton turned out to be the most striking thing for me in the monograph of Breasted.

I had a feeling that I knew them before. But I couldn’t remember any literary source similar to this, until I returned to the period of my practice in Afghanistan. Well, of course, the hymns of Ehnaton made me remember the verses from Koran, with which I became acquainted before leaving for Pakistan and Afghanistan. I had to turn to the English translation of “Holy Koran” by Mulana Mohammad Ali, in edition of 1996. I can’t say that after I’ve read Koran I turned into true Muslim, but this book became real discovery for me. Yes, I was acquainted superficially with the Bible, and I considered any religious dogmas to be anachronisms of the culture, which have to be taken into consideration in decent society, but which are in effect senseless and can’t obligate a free person to do anything. And nevertheless, I wasn’t a convinced atheist in the contemporary sense of this word, for I considered communication with God as deeply private act. But even superficial acquaintance with Koran opened for me a wonderful truth: all prophets were given the same knowledge from Above about how to arrange human life on the Earth in the best possible way. And the person who is now known as Ehnaton, 17-years-old youth, was the first to record this knowledge. The fact, that this knowledge comes out from the same source, can be proved by simple comparison of texts of Ehnaton’s hymns and Koran. They are divided by 20 centuries, and still they contain not only the same ideas, but, what stuck me most of all, the texts has the same rhythmic. How it could happen – it’s beyond human understanding.
