We're The Aliens' Experiment, January 1, 2005
This review is from: Genesis of the Grail Kings: The Explosive Story of Genetic Cloning and the Ancient Bloodline of Jesus (Hardcover)
Gardner explains further why Jesus and the Holy bloodline of the Grail is special in this volume. The Annunnaki gods created Adam, who was the first priest king carrying more of the god's genes than the rest of us. This royal line has supposedly preserved its genetics down through time to the present day.
There is an compelling section on how the Hebrew Bible is largely influenced from previous Sumerian works such as the Epic of Gilgamesh and the Egyptian Book of the Dead. There is also an attempt to explain why the Sumerian was such an anomalously advanced civilization when compared to others at the time. Gardner thinks it's because of the genetic tinkering of the gods with the human line.
Gardner does an interesting analysis on the Moses story in the Bible and comes to the conclusion that he was actually the abdicated king Akhenaton, a half Hebrew, half Egyptian king deposed because of his insistence on imposing a monotheistic god on the Egyptian populace. Various inconsistencies in the Bible are discussed and Gardner comes to the conclusion that it is a corrupted text from the older Sumerian accounts, corrupted for the religious/ political reasons of the Jewish and Christian priesthood.
Gardner stands things on their head, saying that Cain is actually the holy bloodline and not the inferior line of Seth. The Serpent in the Garden is actually the Annunaki god Enki who offers wisdom to humanity as opposed to his brother Enlil, which is the Hebrew god who wants to keep us down. Miriam is not mentioned much in the Bible, but actually she was a prominent religious leader of the Hebrews, but she was shafted by the male priesthood who wanted to get her out the Bible because she was female. Standard blasphemous stuff, you know. Gardner says that our religious beliefs are starting to change because of all the archeological documents that have been discovered which give us a different account of what we have been told traditionally. I suppose it's easy to be fooled with the Biblical stories. People are introduced to them at a young age when their critical faculties are low.
I liked this one better than Bloodline because it didn't get bogged down with a lot of name dropping and intricate genealogies, although these lines are listed and commented on some. I'm really neutral on the revelations. I suppose it will be welcomed by modernists and scorned by traditionalists in the endless chatter of society. I don't know if it will change my personal views much. It was a mind bending trip though. There are actually other authors out there that have looked at archeological evidence and claim that the Bible is accurate, so it comes down to who you want to believe. Everyone has their clever arguments for everything.
And oh yeah, I've read that David Icke has a tape out saying that this guy is nefarious Reptile alien, so who can you trust? Maybe such accusations stem from class conflict or professional jealousy. Both authors cover similar territory and have similar views. Gardner is high born and Icke is well, a former soccer player/hooligan from the projects.

Amazing works!, August 17, 2000
This review is from: Genesis of the Grail Kings: The Explosive Story of Genetic Cloning and the Ancient Bloodline of Jesus (Hardcover)
Sir Laurence Gardiner's 2 works "Genesis of the Grail Kings" and "Bloodline of the Holy Grail" were two of the most interesting, well researched and thouroughly engrossing works I've read in a long long time. Although each works well as a stand-alone book, I thouroughly recommend readers read BOTH works. Drawing upon ancient Sumerian and Mesopotamian records, in the case of "Genesis of the Grail Kings", and drawing on priveleged genealogical information protected by the various European Royal Houses and the Scots Royal House of Stewart, in the case of "Bloodline"; Sir Laurence backs up his topics with detailed, fascinating research. I wholeheartedly recommend both books for readers interested in learning true facts concerning such topics as the following: -An ancient bloodline dating from before Sumerian times was preserved from ancient times, up to Jesus' time, and the present day. This bloodline had been genetically enhanced, firstly thru the ingestion of Annunaki "Star Fire", and later thru the ingestion of alchemically altered monatomic white gold powder. -Gravitational and time/space anomalies presented by alchemically altered monatomic white gold powder, and how modern science is now just beginning to rediscover these ancient secrets. -The nature of Sumerian Kingship. -How the first few books of the Old Testament were recombinations and retellings from far older and more complete Sumerian and Mesopotamian records and legends. -The facts about many of the parables in the New Testament, in that they were coded references to political situations, and not depictions or descriptions of supernatural phenomena. -The true facts concerning Jesus' heritage, birth, upbringing and training, familial relations, and marriage to Mary Magdalene. -The true facts concerning Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection. -The role, and original importance, of women such as Mary Magdalene in the Church. -How the Roman Catholic Church was able to usurp unearned, power wealth and authority, and how the Church sought to maintain that hold on wealth power and authority by: preventing the true facts concerning Jesus to be brought to light; suppressing, distorting, and then denying the role and importance of women in the Church; controlling the roles and options open to women in society; suppressing intellectual and individual, and artistic freedoms thru such instruments as the Inquisition. -The rise of the European Royal Houses, and in particular, the suppression of the Scots Royal House of Stewart, by England. -The role that enlightened, properly instituted, and properly managed government plays in securing the freest expression of individual liberties. And many more points too numerous to mention. In short, I hope that readers will take these two books to heart and will find them as beneficial as I have.

Logical explanation of myths, fairy tales, and legends., January 2, 2001
This review is from: Genesis of the Grail Kings: The Explosive Story of Genetic Cloning and the Ancient Bloodline of Jesus (Hardcover)
I hope everyone will get a chance to read Sir Laurence's latest masterpiece. Once again, in "Realm of the Ring Lords," he literally shines light in the dimmest recesses of history while figuratively "knocking our socks off". He connects the Grail and Ring in ways I've never known, and going all the way back to pre-history, he gives logical explanations of almost every myth, fairy tale and legend that either frightened or inspired us as children. We still get to keep our elves and fairies and pixies, but this time as real people who did magnificent deeds that have since been diminished by the Church. In chapter 10, I was astounded by the lily and the rose being symbolic of actual female essences that grant spiritual power and even youth to their partakers. He gives excellent and revealing backgrounds on figures such as Robin Hood, Santa Claus, Lorna Doone, and the Faerie Queen. He also thoroughly debunks such fictions as vampires, werewolves, zombies, and even Satan himself! The notes and references and appendices are practically a book within themselves, and the colored illustrations, especially those by Sir Peter, are beautiful beyond description. We are so fortunate to have such intellects as Sir Laurence and the other good knights at MediaQuest to come riding in on their white horses and rescue us from the prison of our darkest ignorance. Bravo! [To find out more about obtaining this new book, see ... .
