A tease becomes a revelation, 4 Mar 2003
In what turned out to be a colossal tease, Laurence Gardner, in his second major work, Genesis of the Grail Kings, gave us a brief description of a curious white powder produced in ancient Egypt that had phenomenal gravitational, transformational, and inspirational powers. The substance was the result of a secret process whereby gold and platinum group metals were transformed into a white powder which the Egyptians called MFKZT (pronounced muf-kutz). The powder, though derived from heavy metals, had a negative weight (less than zero), and transmitted the same weightlessness to its container. When ingested, the powder brought heightened spiritual awareness to its user, and it supposedly could transport itself or its user into a different time/space dimension, called the Field of MFKZT, or the Plane of Shar-on. The inference was made that MFKZT provided the technical ability to lift all of the millions of multi-ton blocks into place in the Giza Pyramids, and that the Field of MFKZT was the final destination of the Pharaohs after their earthly existence. Partly due to the reaction by his reading public, Gardner promised a whole book on the subject, but, in the meantime, came out with another book (Realm of the Ring Lords), which, while very interesting, didn't add to the information about MFKZT he had given us in his previous book. At long last, Gardner has kept his word, and has published Lost Secrets of the Sacred Ark. Lost Secrets of the Sacred Ark is Gardner's account of the famous Ark of the Covenant. In relating the fascinating information about the Ark, Gardner gives us a comprehensive explanation of the whole concept of MFKZT, its role in the powers of the Ark, and its history through the ages, including up to the present day. Gardner's theory is that MFKZT is actually the mysterious and elusive Philosophers' Stone. We have heard so much about alchemists throughout history attempting to turn lead into gold, when all the while the real transformational process so closely guarded over the past five millennia has been that of turning gold into this astonishing substance. If you only read one of Gardner's four major works, I suggest that it be this one. However, you should do yourself the favor of reading all four (the others being Bloodline of the Holy Grail, Realm of the Ring Lords, and Genesis of the Grail Kings), as they separately and collectively have brought us compelling, important, and groundbreaking insights to the understanding of our ancient history and our religious belief systems and institutions.

Hold on tight or be blown away, 17 Sep 2003
Unbelievable! That statement could or course be taken two ways. Many people will no doubt put this book down to fanciful nonsense. Others will be awed by the sheer magnitude of what Gardner is suggesting. I certainly belong in the second camp, probably, in part, because Gardner's work is so well written and compelling that it is very hard to ignore anything that he says. His forays into the dark depths of history make for fantastic reading as he uses the bible, other ancient writings, modern science and etymology to piece together the mystery of the Ark of the Covenant. The promised elaboration on MFKZT, the white powder derived from gold with weightless qualities, has arrived and how worthwhile the wait has been. Gardner describes how the Egyptians in particular were able to use this substance, how it relates to the ark and what happened to the ark in post biblical times. And it all leads to a fascinating conclusion involving a government conspiracy (i know) and a future with incredible possibilities. One of the joys of this book is how many lose ends are tied up by Gardner's explanations. Many questionable passages from the bible are given new light and you can only find yourself wondering how such incredible knowledge seemingly disappeared. A mindblower if ever there was one.

Another brilliant book from this genre...unmissable., 12 Nov 2003
The sacred power of gold; weightlessness, eternal life, superconductors, other dimensions, the ark of the covenant, the egyptians, the philosophers stone, Mfkzt, monatomic elements, the bible explained.......these sorts of subjects draw a huge readership and Laurence Gardener has them all in this one book.This is the first of Laurences books that I have read and I must say that I enjoyed it very much. Drawing out sections of the bible, adding other evidence and cleaning up loose ends, this book was fabulous in its entirety. Where is the ark now, what was the ark of the covenant, Laurences answers within are masterful if not simple. If you like to read this genre of book then this is a must for your personal library, you will NOT be dissapointed in your purchase.
