Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Michael's Mission by John Steed Synopsis of a fact/fiction book produced from original research by John Steed. The front cover depicts an actual tracing from Afghanistan, the earliest discovered. The Part 1 numbering 76,800 words is a fictional account by the archangel Michael of his life and travels based solely on the terrestrial pictures left to us on our landscape. 370 of those pictures have been traced, processed and recorded from every continent giving us 'snap shots' leading to his missionary work round the world. A calculated guesstimate puts Michael in the frame just prior to 49,600 years ago until his death at Machu Picchu sometime before Christ. Michael describes his wedding to Eve and the bringing up of his only son John. My introduction goes into his background, reincarnation being one of the options for his comings and goings over so long a period. Michael's unselfish zest to civilize existing humanoids is paramount in his story, clearly not always successful. With his wife and teenage son he embarks on a eugenics programme following the Garden of Eden scenario when he persuades his wife to mate with a tame ape, namely, Adam. Caine and for a time Abel are added to his core with Ron the handy man and Hermes on security. Michael tells of his ship construction before ending up in India the Far East, Australia and America from their base at Cheddar. Along with his Karacoram (core) he sets up kingdoms in Egypt, Nubia and Europe. A start was made with terrestrial pictures like Bats, Zodiacs and Mandelbrots followed by a vivid description of his civil engineering feats from Stanton Drew to Salisbury Plain, and his pioneering pyramids in Egypt. Michael describes in detail the shaping of the Sphinx and later his masterpiece of organization, the Great Pyramid at Giza. Returning to S. America Michael then describes, not only his travels but with the Incas, reconstructing massive buildings already abandoned by Atlanteans whose many traditions he incorporates. Finally as an old man he is murdered at Machu Picchu with a massive terrestrial scene to prove it. Appendices follow, noting that over 170 registered archaeological sites worldwide were mentioned by him. In part 2 of the book are the illustrations of actual tracings together with the authors comments. Clear portrayals of the D.N.A. double helix, telescopes in use as well as geometrical figures are to be seen. Fundamental to further proof of these pictures are the relative old place names which when translated from the Celtic gives us an insight into the views of those ancient surveyors or planners. So, 100 pictures each with 2 or 3 pages of text together with a partly traced scene as an encouragement to continue in the footsteps of Messrs. Watkins, Maltwood, Lord, Caine, Pennick and many in France. Finally a potent tracing as an example of a further 100 to found in the sequel, Michael's Legacy already in the pipeline. In Part 1 text 76,800 words In Part 2 text 51,600 words Total 128,400 approx In Part 2 illustrations on 108 full pages. This item is printed on demand.
