Sure.....As you know JC and MM made it to Gaul in a pea green boat loaded to the hilt with all sorts of goodies, like the Ark of the Covenant and the Holy Grail AND a bejewelled device worth thousands of sheqalim which became known in later times as the labarum.
Now the descendants of JC and MM fell on hard times and were accepted into a powerful group of Druids where they learnt all manner of magick and thus did not need to pawn all their goodies to survive (if you read your Cicero and Tacitus it's all there).
The device became separated from the other treasures due to a family dispute and was smuggled south into Italy, specifically western Rome.
The other treasures, as you know, are hidden in a cave in southern France.
It remained hidden until Constantine I had an affair with one of the descendants in about 300CE, it was a lusty business, on one occasion he fell out of bed and landed on the jewelly thingy which had been crudely concealed under said maiden's bed, and become dislodged during the romping around. According to Eusebius, he is said to have exclaimed: "Egad!" and promptly filched it for himself.
Mistakenly, then, it has been attributed to have a Druidic origin, when in fact, patently, that is not so.

I'm hope Paula's computer's doin' fine. ELO- can't beat Mr Blue Sky: "Sun is shinin' in the sky...." :D

I've still to start reading the Crista redux thread, can't admit to having formed an opinion yet, but somehow the Anthony Burgess novel "Any Old Iron" comes to mind.

HOW DOES THIS QUICK SYNOPSIS HELP ?..........
Back in Feb '09 Roger said various things;
Quote:
The "biographers" are describing it in its "adapted" form. The one that could be taken as Christian as well as Roman/Pagan.

The coins I pointed out, describe it as it was, in its raw splendour (leaving off the tara-diddles and jewels).



Cannot get more explicit than this;
Quote:
Hi Tingra, eagle-eyed researcher of all researchers, I didn't mention the Bordeaux coin because I simply skimmed over it and because it's almost the same as another representation.

Hi Sandy, the Rodez coin is very interesting, isn't it? It's an out-of-scale deconstruction of the actual object.


Or this;
Quote:
I forgot to correct you in that Constantine did not bring it to France, he acquired it there. Ironically, it went back to more or less where it originally came from, when Childebert brought it back to St Germain des Pres (at the time Ste Croix et St Vincent).

Ever hear of the vacuum of the Lendit?



This sounds like someone who knows...
Quote:
Now... you want me to tell you how it came to be in RLC and how Sauniere got it, and what he did with it, and why, and how it was spirited away? You don't ask for much, do you? You'd probably like my credit card numbers as well? Don't you think I've been generous enough



I don't see IMHO so it looks 'ex Cathedra',,,,,,,,
Quote:
Wrong track. The premeditated and extensive christianisation campaign with regard to the object is probably at the source of its alleged Old Testament connections (it has variously been alleged to have belonged to Moses, Aaron, Solomon, etc. - all false, unless someone can explain how it became such a prominent feature of a pagan solar temple in the Lendit - most unlikely! It's defintely pre-Frankish, whether Germanic or Celtic or some other Gallic tribal origin - Henry d'Arthenay has been launching some interesting educated speculations as to its actual origin - religious, if not historical, ). In reality, its only proximity to anything related to the Old Testament lies in that it was purloined from Rome, by the Wisigoths, in conjunction with the remains of the treasure of Jerusalem. Hence, it would be "biblical" by contamination rather than by true origin.

Similarly, it purported ability to throw off "flammeches" may or not be ascribed to a desire to ape the legend of Moses' "flammeches". Note that small flames bursting forth from some prominent character's head (or hair) form a substantial part of many legends of the period.


Who jumped the Gun?
Quote:
We do know that certain people took action to hide and preserve it at various times, so we can guess at their motives. We also know that, during dynastic shifts, efforts were made to retrieve it (Sauniere's time being no exception).

But we aren't in that phase yet, are we? We've still to find out what happened after it came to the Abbaye de Sainte Croix et Saint Vincent...

(I like to proceed in order... as Sheila will no doubt tell you!)



You can take this to the bank.........
Quote:
The item is made of gold.


Doesn't sound like a guess......
Quote:
I could take you to where the relic WAS... it's gone, as I've told you


The secret of success.......
Quote:
Dumb luck, at first... then followed up by lots of hard work (and privileged access, that helps a lot) to make sure... However, I don't think the hard work (or access) would've amounted to a hill of beans without the dumb luck coming first.



Quote:
Yes, and I believe that's all I've asked people here to do, based on my hinting and sometimes broad hinting, no ?



Quote:
I have to give credit where credit is due. If I hadn't run into IBJ, the "dumb luck" portion of this would never have happened. His completely different approach to all this (which I scoffed at, at first) was what put me onto what the true subject of all this really was.


Which book ?
Quote:
After proper identification, further research and consultation, this is actually a great find, Tingra, because it allows us to solidify the provenance of the object prior to its Gallic worship. I'll explain later.

You'll get credit in the book!


Just to clarify IBJ joined in to make a point.
Quote:
Now you have to know that the object depicted on Merovingian coins goes by the following name: “CRISTA”. It is an exceedingly rare object, a unique one in fact, which symbolizes the power of Constantine. It is the real article, the only genuine Pax Chi-Rho.

It is called Crista because according to the historians, this object is like a crest, featuring two arcs which are affixed to the top of the object, and fall back downwards on both sides of it, exactly like the crested helmet.

However, the coins Tingra showed us date back to a time long before Constantine ever gained power, and even before Christ came into the world. Therefore, this symbol is clearly not Christian, and it is not even connected with Christ in any way, shape or form.


Ndawe asks who it serves?
Quote:
At present, no one. It rests hidden, unused.
Which may be a good thing. I don't know.



Quote:
Well... that's the fascinating quest. For me and the IBJ team, anyway. Tracing its meanderings through history, from the Abbaye de St Germain, to...???? It's the same object all right, there are no two alike. But perhaps it's best to simply see if you can find its track through time.


Quote:
I did what I wanted to do. I made you conscious of its existence, and I believe we had fun doing it?. Do with that as you please, from there on.


Quote:
No, Roger is quite impressed and pleased with you all.

I hinted, you found.


Looks like the question was asked.......
Quote:
No, it's not a theory, but I'm not optimistic about the present "owners" agreeing to any sort of examination. We'll see what is brought on in the fullness of time.



Quote:
Yes, it's as I keep saying, and as you can see, this is Cherisey's only real "code", which isn't really a "code" at all. Once you know what he's really talking about, it becomes fairly easy to follow.
I need to clarify why he's doing this... He's reaching out to anyone who also knows the whole story. People who don't know will not be able to follow. Logically, therefore, he's trying to talk to people who do know. And that's just a few groups.


Quote:
Last bit for Tim. Yes, sovereignty has been exercised, without assistance of anything more than brute force. No real need of any legitimacy whatsoever, whether real or perceived. But that's not quite what we're talking about here. We're talking about being able to lay claim to the Imperial seat, to be Constantine's heir, and pretty much on the same basis as on which Constantine solidified his authority. The legend of a divine apparition and possession of a very real object, as a confirming sign.


Sandy, on the money as usual asked these questions....
Quote:
Roger,
You didnt answer these questions yet
) How do we know it is all related to this 'relic' that you both refer to? Have you seen it yourselves?
2) How are you going to show that this is all linked to Sauniere?
3) At the moment, i visualise this relic as an artifact, not very big, made of gold as you say, not attached to anything, in fact, imagine the people who wear crucifixes round their necks .... flat pieces of gold ..... thats how i view this relic, but obviously bigger. Would this be correct?
Is it associated or part of another artifact etc etc?
4) I know you know of it 'from privelege', but you said a colleague showed you. So how does that person know its related to Sauniere? Have you evidence of Sauniere finding this relic? Was it in the crypt under the church, buried with a Hautpoul family member? etc etc.


Roger answered.......
Quote:
1) How do you think we know what it is?
2) By laying it all out in the next book.
3) Bigger than a crucifix, you wouldn't want it around your neck, unless you're one of those gangsta-rappers who "over-gold" instead of over-dose.
4) That's a compound question that has, amongst its premises an incorrect interpretation of what I said. But let me say that IBJ showed me what was in front of my nose. As far as where it was, I'll only say it came to RLC from Limoux, due to the Revolution.

That's all I'm going to say on that. I've already told you that I'm only interested now in seeing whether you can track its progress. I'm not interested in telling you all our secrets.



What a week that was in Feb 2009. Does that cover the main points Tim?

Anyone know about that 'next book' ?

TD


One of the many threads on the subject "the Crista" yielded the following quotes back in 2010 underlining the
role played by 'Roger' IMHO.

can't find many faults in that....so TD, this makes me curious as to what your actual problem was with the situation ?....and more to the point why today you don't seem to understand what you've just posted up ...and it obviously took you a good few hours to collate all that...so.... which bits can't you get your head round ?

Well, judging by the extremity of the responses I've received it would appear that I understood the situation all too well!
Given what's happened to these threads in the last few years it would seem my concerns about the presentation of the so-called Crista story and the misuse IMHO of history for contemporary concerns.
Ironically looking back through threads Sandy consistently asked for proof of an artifact, if only she had applied the same rigour to the tomb.............. :roll:
The threads have been deformed by wholesale removal of posts by 'Roger' and you.
It would seem that it truely has joined the 'Tomb' and the 'Diary' and might be viewed in the same way.
Given the desire to minimise its impact maybe this is all part of plan................trying to undermine and back away from your former work?

BTW given the recent images of the St Michael pedestal, and to echo an argument put forward by TCP, the sign looks even more like a S and an M combined with Archangels wings rather than a representation of an object IMHO!

TD :lol:

Well, remind us why you deleted all your research and contribution from the discourse?
Was that your own idea or did you do it in concert with someone else's vanishing trick ?

It`s interesting that the St. Michael pedestal is new information, St. Michael is not mentioned in

IBJ`s articles in relation to the Crista. The articles that I has computer translated were IBJ`s 2 reference

articles concerning the Geminae Cristae article (which was so well translated). I can see how the Crista design

would double as a St. Michael monogram.

So Roger is writing a book.

Are all his shenanigans and vitriol designed to protect his franchise, for the time being? Discrediting IBJ's work would be top of the list I presume?

(Thanks for the idea Roger. I can see an unauthorized history of the Golden Salami taking form already - all I need is a way to sauce up the market prior to publishing. Roger's Crista may go back to Moses, but I am dead sure I have evidence to prove that geochrysomorphozed salamis were to be found in The Garden at the time of Adam.)

Thanks for the advice CG. Roger has blazed a trail - one which I will not follow (entirely at least) - while his reputation has suffered, I'm sure sales will not. :)
