GREG FOSTERS E XPEDITION TO THE DEVILS MARBLES N.T.24/6/2010 TO 30/6/2010. Trip from Sydney to Alice Springs via Barrow Creek,

staying 7 days at Wycliffe Well Caravan Park and documenting the Devils marbles Conservation Park.

Copyright Greg Foster 2010

I have just returned from the Devils Marbles in the Northern Territory where I spent 7 days Documenting 2thirds of the entire Devils Marbles site filming and photographing every part of I could. In the coming weeksand months I am designing a website for myself solely on Devils Marbles. I have photographed a staggering 56,000 HD photos and over 2500 HD videos. If anyone would like a photo just ask and I will send them to

you. I would arrive there at Sunrise at approx 5.45 am and leave after sunset at 6pm everyday. and had I nothad to drive all the way back-370 km's to Alice Spring for a high speed batter charger-I left my Video chargerleads in Sydney I would have documented the entire site, which was the original plan.

The area is 1800 hectares or 9 Kilometres, (I had thought up a mathematical formula based on the number9 a few decades ago-1800 hectare and 9 kilometre site is not coincidental-I believe they have based the entiresite using mathematical calculations, and that each temple, and balancing stone is part of the mathematicalformula which allows the Moon and the Sun to be shining/illuminating over these places)

I also filmed and photographed from when I first was at Sydney Airport-I was there 4 hours before theflight. Then I filmed the entire trip from the plane out the window, and then from the airport at Alice Springs(2000kmhs from Sydney) I set-up the video in the passenger seat and filmed stills and video all the way to

Wycliffe Well 370khs away-stopping for mountain scenery shots and other scenery-it was when I realised Ihad only two batteries left (one 3 hour and a one hour battery) and that I needed to re-charge them, I lookedfor the leads to connect my video camera to re-charge and no leads...(that is another long story).

I then Documented the entire Devils Marbles site, except for just a very small proportion, and I know every rock when I see the video and photographs, I lived this place intensely and discovered many of the

Aboriginal secret sites as I felt them and could see the significance when I was near them. This area is notclassified as a desert and the colours of this place is a photographers paradise. Could you image this placeafter significant rainfall, it would be truly a paradise in a semi-desert region, the waterfalls that would becascading from the millions of rocks, the glistening, sparkling from every blade of grass, the colour changes.

I was very fortunate to be able to film the site, and it was so green. I have always been interested in othercultures including the Australian Aborigines. Over a decade ago-approx 1998 - when I met Rex, I had already become deeply interested in all manner of cultures. I have my mums fathers mothers stone tools and all her

things from her life as a daughter of a Maori chief. I have a book of hers, on astronomy dated 1885, whichshe treasured and I used to wonder where did I have my deep interest in ancient cultures and especially astronomy.

I am very interested in astronomy and higher mathematics. I know it was from her, and I probably have adeep unconscious link to that. In 2001 while researching Devils Marbles I had a dream one night, it really opened my eyes to visions, which I had had in 1999 for a year before I asked it to stop as I was scaring tomany people with my predictions and reading minds, I wasn't reading minds as such-I was hearing peoplesthoughts everywhere, as they walked past me, when the phone rang etc..

This dream one night I saw at the Devils Marbles four groups of people. The first where these Giants who were threatening the Aborigines, then the Aborigines who were actually living next to the URU and then the Yowie which was also living nearby the two groups, The Aborigines asked the URU to drive out the Giants

who lived in the rocks a short distance away and the URU did. They were warrior types and the Yowie andthe Aborigines then lived side by side at Devils Marbles, although the Aborigines didn't live in the vicinity of Devils Marbles as it was a sacred URUAN site which they only walked through for another things, berries,

water and sometimes shelter. I could see they had their own camp not far from Devils Marbles.So for almost a decade I had contemplated going here one day, but in the meantime I had heard of

1,000,000 Aboriginal carvings in the Pilbira and Kathra regions, near Dampier Archipelago area of the Western Australian coast. Since 1965 Miners had been estimated to have destroyed over 400,000 carvingsand that only approx 600,000 remained, so I decided I was going there to record as much of it as I could. Ihad planned the trip and was going there this year.

In the meantime I came into a small amount of money for my fractured eye socket-from 2005 cricketaccident and decided the cost was so exorbitant to go to Western Australia I just couldn't afford it so I

decided to go to the place I had always felt-dreamed of and really wanted to document as on the internet andin books and the hand full of videos/DVDs you see the same old rocks. I wanted to Document the entiresite, every single rock and pathway and mountain, creek beds, plants, wildlife, insects etc.. I almost did. I

walked at least 50 kilometres in those 7 days.

Next image is a still taken from a small video I did of this section. This is a huge open air complex,huge walkway and monoliths erected in certain places. I have a video of this where I walk into the shot toshow the scale of the balancing rock in the background-which is one of the natural balancing stones/boulders/rocks. I soon figured out which rocks were natural and which were utilised in a formationand which were just lifted and placed, it has to do with the bottom of the rock where it is standing and wherethe rock meets the ground. After long periods of weathering the stones base-which is like giant egg cups,

which these rocks sit on-top of after intense weathering, and what is left is a band around the entire rock nearthe egg-cups base, almost like a wine casket-barrel where they put those bands of steel around it to make itfirmer, this is exactly like that..

This below rock - for these reasons is possibly natural, but is obliviously utilised in the huge-open-complex under where it is standing. So while it is possibly natural the usage of it isn't. The Giant balancing

rock to the left of the picture-in the background-is very worn and very interesting, it possibly is a depiction of the URUAN Supreme being Aea, they have even put a type of crack where the arm and the shoulder meet togive the appearance of separation to show it is a arm and a shoulder and head, all natural rocks but in thiscase slightly modified in a subtle way that it looks natural with its cracking, but overall it is 90% utilised andslightly modified.

This was the first day and the only day where the sky was clouded-but only for a few hours, the restof the time was crystal blue skies and, beautiful green grass and the rocks, which change colours, depending on sunrise, daylight and sunset were always a pleasure to photograph and videotape. I have photos of thesame rocks and they hardly look alike from day to day, any period of the day.

This area really hits you emotionally, it is just awe-inspiring and I would recommend to any Australianor overseas people to make that once in a lifetime trip there and stay at Wycliffe Well (25khs away) the UFOcapital of Australia which is the most amazing Caravan Park/Roadhouse you will ever see anywhere on theplanet, it is the most unique area. The Murals alone at the Park are truly awe inspiring and the artist is upthere with Rembrandt or any of the other famous artist Masters.

In next months newsletter I will be writing about Wycliffe Well Caravan Park showing theremarkable murals.

I have been busily editing the videos and photographs. It is very time consuming. The area is truly deep in spiritual overtones and you feel it and also hear things-a few people while there, had asked me had Iheard anyone talking while I was hear a particular area, they said they heard things, felt things, these aretourists I was speaking to at the time. I heard myself muffled voices that in one case I actually walked thoughthese murmurs. I also took a remarkable photo showing what I believe is a small intense light that seems tohave some kind of shape within it.

It is so quiet-except for the occasional vehicle or bus that lets out many people, and for the time they

are there it can be hectic, but people don't really talk too loud while there, the silence can be deafening-yourthoughts drift to who lived here previous and what they did at this Sacred Site. You walk along many touristmade trails, yet you feel ancient peoples who also had been walking these tracks. I was disappointed I didn'tfilm the entire site as I had planned. Next year though I will.

From My Diary Entries written up Each Night. Trip from Sydney Thursday 24/6-2010 to Alice Springs Via Ti-tree, Barrow Creek, Wycliffe Well, andDevils Marbles.Day 1 Thursday. Sydney. The night before the Flight I couldn't sleep last night, went to bed a 7Pm up at4am.

The car to the train station, then train to Central then the Domestic Airport. I had never been on the

Airport train which is an underground tunnel. I was here 3 hours before my flightas I wanted to record and photograph the Qantas jets and the terminal, then I went upstairs to the QantasMuseum where I was shown around by the lady there and was allowed to document some of the 50 years of Qantas in Australia, as well as have good views of the runway-as I wanted to take a few jets taking off toshow in the documentary I am filming.

We departed Sydney Domestic terminal at 9.50am. Arrived 12.15pm at Alice Springs. I picked up the hirecar outside the Airport. All the way up I had been taking photos and video from the planes windows, and wasallowed to take photos and video from the back of the plane where the cabin crew were as the windows I wasfilming through at my seat were dirty and reflected the sunlight that was also on the same side of the plane asI was, on the way back I made sure I had the right seat with two windows at the back of the plane and took thousands of photographs through a very clean window this time, with the sun on the opposite side of the

plane so this time I have crystal clear footage and photographs of the ground and scenery.I was sitting on the opposite side of the plane when we passed Lake Eyre, (so I went to the back of theplane and have some nice shots of large parts of Lake Eyre, but I had been taking photos of the water thathad come down from Queensland through N.S.W and down to South Australia, remarkable scenery to seethis huge amount of water. As we are flying at 30,000 feet you can see right to the top of Queensland anddown to South Australia in one shot.

I am sitting next to a small boy (who is very intelligent for his age) and next to him his mother. She was very helpful, as she lived in Alice Springs and answered any question I asked of her, very nice lady. We landedand I started videotaping and photographing again. After leaving the airport I found the hire car and startedthe long drive to Wycliffe Well.

When Heather and Rex returned from their last trip they told me of the Aborigines on each corner. As Iam driving from the Airport to Alice Springs, the first thing I notice are Aborigines on each corner, they don't seem to be doing anything but sitting there not talking too each other. I drive to Coles (yes I know) asHeather had told me just before I left Sydney to stock up at Alice Springs for food and drinks etc., that was

very good advice. I bought food and drink and then started the long non-stop drive (I did stop for photosand to video the mountains and monuments) of over 3 hours.

I drove on and stopped at Ti-tree for petrol and food and drinks after an almost 200km drive. The firstthing I notice is the price of petrol, it is $1.58 a litre. A drink and a sausage roll was $6.95. The next stop isBarrow Creek as I am going there to interview the owner of the Barrow Creek Pub about the Bradley Murdoch, Joanne Lees and her b/friend about the Falconio case from 2001. My friend was the truck driverthat picked Joanne Up from her ordeal after she had ran in front of his road train screaming, and then he haddriven her to Barrow Creek where the owner Les helped to bring her inside.

Les wasn't there (he was in Alice for the whole time I was there) but I did speak to his wife? and another

person who worked there. I mentioned I was making a Documentary on Devils Marbles, and asked did they know Rex and Heather and they all did and said to say hello to them. I think you can go anywhere in Australia and New Zealand and ask someone about the Gilroy's and they all know them, nice that.

I then met an Aboriginal man and his girl friend who ask me can I drive them to Tennant Creek. I said Icouldnt as it's almost 120 kms away and it is almost dark and the hire car has a clause that I cannot driveafter dark and if I have an accident-with a Kangaroo, the insurance would not pay for it. So I was 1 hourfrom Wycliffe Well, my destination and it was almost dark. I offered them both a lift to Wycliffe, and he keptasking, your not going to Tennant Creek are you-he had been drinking but after a few minutes I started to ask them both about their culture and any stories, stone tools, and Devils Marbles.

They even offered to take me to Tennant Creek and introduce me to his uncle who teaches the stone

culture still, he desperately wanted to go there. Just before we arrived at Wycliffe Well they again ask me tobuy them a 6 pack-for the past hour I had asked them all the questions I could think of, and they did tell me alot of information which to me was priceless, so I gave him $5 as they are not allowed to have money only this very degrading Basic Card from the Territory Government. After I dropped them off, a bit later I gavehis girl friend $10 dollars as she did tell me a wealth of information on women's business and her knowledgeof her culture.

It is a FACT that no Aborigine will go to Devils Marbles except for Government ceremonies and othersmall ceremonies, such as when the Devils Marbles Conservation Reserve was established, other than thatthey keep clear of the place as they still believe-as I do now, that there are these people from the Dreamtime(The URU) who still live underground in the caves and will take their children if they let them go there. Lastnight-the 12th of July-I realised from a video pan I was watching that I could prove this site is as large and

similar to the Greece Acropolis. As I pan you see this second gigantic head, and I started to think does thishead-at it's base have an underground tunnel system that goes right under the entire site joining up at themain temple, this was after thinking about the Aboriginal stories [even to this day], of a people living underthe rocks in caves.

The Aboriginal story of Devils Marbles talks about these people living underground in caves who sing and the children cannot resist these songs and they are taken below the surface. The Elders then have aceremony which also uses singing particular songs and then the children hear them and escape, but these daysthe songs that keep the children safe are long forgotten, so hence the stopping of children going there. I didnot see one Aboriginal anywhere near the place, but they still do ceremonies there in secret I am sure.

Wycliffe Wells Caravan/Holiday Park is an amazing place, the murals are everywhere and are allUFO/Alien related.

I had filmed thousands of photos and many videos on the way from Alice Springs over a three hourperiod. I unpacked and looked for the leads to connect to the video camera to re-charge the three batteries Ihad used up from Sydney to Wycliffe, my destination where I will stay for 4 days. I soon realise that I haveforgotten the leads for the battery charger. I only have one 1 hour battery and one 3 hour battery for the next7 days. What a disaster this is. This was the first event that eventually led to me staying at Wycliffe Well

Caravan Park for the entire 7 days which in the end turned out the right thing to do. Thursday Night - I am now at Wycliffe Well in my room, writing this down. The people here are so politeand helpful. The food is high quality. The park is full of Alien-UFO related theme murals (It isn't untilSunday I realise how big this huge park really is). Aliens and memorabilia in the restaurant are everywhere.

have to sign their name on a book and show their basic card. The Aborigines are so peaceful, calm, polite and very, very humble, I feel for them and have met a few of them personally.

The Aborigines mainly live near Tennant Creek and other stations just off the Stuart Highway. They willgo for a walk, sometimes to the next town, which can be 100- kms away, and on the way they stop and waitfor other Aborigines in cars who drive by and that's how they go from one town to another, but mostly they are stuck in Wycliffe or anywhere else they end up, till they can get a lift, they usually come in at 6pm havetheir beers then go over the bridge, and light up a 24 gallon drum and stay there the entire night.I passed on my way to Devils Marbles many of these 24 gallon drums they use for fire. I am getting up at 5amI will really have to conserve batteries to last till I go to Alice Springs Sunday then off to Ewaninga Aboriginalcarving site, then the Olgas then off to the rock (Ayres Rock/ULURU). I haven't even been to DevilsMarbles - the purpose of the entire trip and already I have no batteries left.

Instead of taking thousands of photos and video I will now have to just be patient and take as few as Ican, otherwise I will not be able to photograph/Videotape the rock and the other places I intend to go tofrom Sunday to next Wednesday. I cannot believe that I forgot the battery charger leads. It is 9.45 right now and I am going to bed, it's been a 2000km Plane Trip & almost 400km drive. I have been up since 4am. It hasbeen a long, interesting end of the day. Most expensive places I have ever been. Ti-tree $6.95 for a splice ice-cream and a can of drink. Petrol at Ti-tree is $1.58 for petrol and a high $1.90 for Diesel.

At Wycliffe Well Caravan/Holiday Park they have internet for $4 every 30 min-quite reasonable. They have aUFO book of sightings. I eventually (on the Sunday night-my 4th day there) asked Arc [the owner] can I copy all the stories, he says sure why not so I go back to the room and spent the next 2 hours copying stories anddrawings from the UFO book.Day 2 From My Diary Entries Each Night Trip from Wycliffe Well to and Devils Marbles 25/6/2010 Day 2 - Friday - Devils Marbles.

My First glimpse at this Site I had only seen from the net and videos such as the Leyland Brothersetc...and a video Rex had done from his trip which they both showed me just before I left. I was looking forward to independently finding the areas that Rex had videotaped. I got up at 5.30 (this turned out to be tolate) and drive to the Devils Marbles for Sunrise. The speed limit is 130 so the 25km drive takes only 15minutes. 130 km's seems way too fast, but if you didn't go that fast in these vast stretches of road then you

would get nowhere.I drive past the Wauchope Pub/Restaurant and decide that from tomorrow I will buy chocolate milk and

soft drinks for the day there. There is no water at Devils Marbles, the two taps are permanently turned off.

I can see the silhouette of the rocks in the distance as I turn off the Stuart Highway into the DevilsMarbles Conservation Area. I instantly have a shiver. I always have a shiver when I see or hear something soprofound as to what I am now confronted with. Words cannot express the sheer size of what I am looking at- I left too late as I didn't know what time sunrise was exactly at the Marbles. So the reddish-yellow huefrom Sunrise I had heard about I had missed as the rocks were dull on one side but the Sun was illuminating the rocks differently to what I was led to believe they would look like at this time.

In the coming 6 days though I didn't miss a Sunrise or Sunset and have very beautiful photos and videosshowing this incredible change of colours. But for now I could see I had missed it. This is the firstphotograph I ever took of Devils Marbles, it is slightly blurry, 56,000 photos 6 days later and they are all justright.

I started taking photos as I drove towards the top car park, although I didn't know where it was exactly or what was there (I had looked at Google Earth for an overview of the site) just this small road went there, so Ifollowed it. I also got out of the car and videotaped and photographed the area. My first glimpse at this site

was a dull brownish colour. I had no opinion on what I was looking at, but eventually it overwhelms you withits majestic colouring. The grass was so green. With the Sun already risen it was an incredible first tenminutes. Boulders strewn everywhere, but in a sort of tidy fashion. Not really rubble either, which surprisedme.

I turn the corner past the huge towering rock formation, and I am confronted by at least 100 caravans andtrailers and 4 wheel drives etc. It's like the M4 Motorway in peak hour. It was a bit of a shock really. I neverexpected the carpark to be so full. Yet there is no shouting, no-one yelling, no-one making any noise really-

whispering to each other, as peaceful as the area I photographing. I found a car spot and right at the carstarted to take photos and video. This place - Devils Marbles Karlu Karlu, is really amazing. I cannot statethat enough. This is the most incredible, amazing place I have ever been to in my entire life, it is really spiritually inspiring. A URU site obviously. The first thing I noticed was huge Stone Circle with a large Altarin the middle.

UNCOVERING A USTRALIA S BRONZE -A GE CELTS .By Rex Gilroy.

Copyright Rex Gilroy 2010.In February 1994 my wife Heather and I uncovered a large number of ancient Celtic, Celto-Phoenician andLibyan rock inscriptions at a Bremer River [Queensland] location. The inscriptions dated to Bronze-Agetimes [2000-1400 BCE] and were remains of an ancient mining colony.

The Bremer River is an offshoot of the Brisbane River winding northwards, east of the Toowoombaescarpment. Other rock inscriptions finds made later at Plainlands and other locations along the BrisbaneRiver, revealed that the Brisbane-Toowoomba region had been a massive colony. The full story is found inthe Gilroys book Pyramids of Destiny Lost Pacific Colonies of the Bronze-Age God-Kings [URUPublications 2009].

One Bremer River inscription, engraved in an Egyptian script referred to the region as the Colony of Ham. This was a May 1995 discovery, made on our second investigation of this site. Names of rulersshowed us that the colony had to have supported a sizeable population.

Aside from farming to support the colony, in 1994 we correctly assumed that extensive farming would have been established and from ancient open-cut mining sites of the Bremer River at Lowood, it wasrevealed that the colony had been established for mining purposes. As we soon discovered, the Lowood finds

belonged to a settlement established to mine the rich gemstone deposits of the area, yet to the west of Toowoomba gold, copper and tin occurs and we believed that eventually evidence of further joint mining activities of [principally] Celts and Phoenicians would be found there.

After the 1994 Bremer River finds, Heather and I were to find extensive evidence of Celto-Phoenician mining and traces of other kingdoms in the Queensland coastal and inland districts as far north asCape York. We also uncovered evidence of Egyptian colonisation over a wide area of Queensland [beginning

with the famous Gympie colony in 1975], and it became obvious that considerable mixed Egypto-Phoenician-Celtic colonisation existed in many regions. Indeed, as our book shows, Australia was literally criss-crossed by these ancient colonists.

Heather and I, assisted by our field assistant Greg Foster, have uncovered a considerable amount of Celtic and mixed Celto-Phoenician colonisation along the Hawkesbury-Nepean Rivers and at Blue Mountains

sites, so that since the Bremer River, Queensland discoveries the evidence for Bronze-Age Celtic colonisationalone has grown considerably.*****

Now incredible new discoveries from localities west of Toowoomba has confirmed our earlier belief that further evidence of mineral-seeking colonisation would be uncovered hereabouts. Indeed, Celtic andmixed Celto-Phoenician inscriptions declare the whole region to have been the Kingdom of Ham. Thediscovery of this Kingdom reveals an hitherto unrealised extent of Bronze-Age Celtic influence on thecolonisation of Australia, and considerable evidence of Celtic colonisation is being uncovered in New Zealand by our colleague, Martin Doutr [as Pyramids of Destiny reveals]. The discoveries about to berevealed demonstrate that Celtic rulers once held considerable power in Bronze-Age Australia

It all began with an email in November 2009 from a lady who owns properties over a wide are of the

Dalby district west of Toowoomba, concerning a large inscribed basalt stone found by her on one of herproperties west of Toowoomba. Its Celtics message read: This stone declares that this land belongs to the White Sun.

Due to various commitments we were unable to drive to Dalby until June 2010. Leaving Katoombaon Monday 21st June we spent the first night of our latest expedition at Moree, a gemstone bearing districtonce mined by Phoenicians as our book Pyramids of Destiny details in full. From there to Dalby we couldnot help noticing the extent of flood plains and ancient, long dried up waterways of such former depths that Ibelieved ancient ships such as triremes etc could easily have negotiated these waters. These waterways can betraced by deep deposits of ancient beach sand that we were soon to discover, covers a vast region beyond

Toowoomba.Our driving instructions took us beyond Dably and as late afternoon approached we found the road

to the ladys property. Her name is Camille and she is now a firm friend of the Gilroys. However, stopping our car just down the road from her home [situated on a large property] to take scenic photos, I recovered asmall stone head with Phoenician letterings that read: Mo son of Gi.Then nearby, a 20.2 cm by 17.5cm slabbearing Phoenician letterings and a ship image. It stated: The Eye of Ra the Sun watched over our ships led by maza who made offering in thanks for a safe voyage.

These roadside finds, projecting from grass-covered soil were our introduction to the incredible findsyet to come. Meeting Camille soon afterward, we spent the evening discussing plans for the following day.

Wednesday 23rd June began with me climbing a hill behind Camilles farmhouse, where I not only gota good view of the scrublands and mountain country hereabouts, but I also stumbled upon a large sandstoneslab bearing weathered Celtic script. It stated: Ships with settlers followed the Sun our God, the Serpent of Light to this

place of the Sun over the water. All give praise to horned Bel who watches over us. Upon this stone carved by Gavin he dthat all must give praise in gratitude for his rays of light upon this mountain of the Sun.

Beside the slab was another bearing a large left profile head of the Celtic Sun-God, Bel. Below this hillI could observe along its eastern, western and southern bases the definite outline of a vast expanse of aformer waterway, making this hill alengthy south to north peninsula. Later this day Camille drove me to thesouthern shoreline below the hill, where above the former waterline we discovered a large number of inscribed stones, and I believe hundreds more still await discovery here. Among the dozens of votive offering stones [from some long-vanished waterfront shrine or temple] were a variety of inscriptions, and names of people not spoken for the past 3,500-4,000 years.

The prize of these finds was a flat, heavy stone bearing on one side an Ibis head and another in flight, with the message on the opposite side: This stone declares the seasonal gathering of the Ibis on the water has begun. ThKing of water birds sacred to Bel. Their gathering is thus recorded here by Sanari.

To describe every last rock inscription and stone head recovered on this preliminary investigation isnot possible here, but following other finds made by me in Camilles western paddock on the Friday morning and later that day when she drove me in her vehicle into scrub there, I came to realise that there werehundreds more inscriptions, stone images of Bel and other relics lying about the area, where we uncoveredtraces of an extensive settlement that extended southward down onto the southern shoreline of the extinct

waterway. There has to be thousands more rock inscriptions on this property and I feel just as many moreoccur on other neighbouring properties above the numerous ancient inlets and islands that are now dry land.

Just how many settlements once existed throughout this vast area far to the south on the opposite shore of this mighty waterway, or further west, and eastwards to Toowoomba remains a mystery. Untold thousands of men, women and children, mostly Celts, but also Phoenicians and no doubt some Egyptians once occupiedthis Kingdom of Ham which eclipses the Gympie Colony of Ra by its extent and vast amount of archaeological finds!

On Thursday 24 th June Camille, by now dubbed a field assistant of the Gilroys, eager to learn moreabout the evidence of ancient Celtic colonisation on her land, and having been given a crash course in how and what to look for in our absence, drove us 70 kilometres to another of her properties, the roads extending across what was once the floor of one great waterway after another.

This property takes in the high shoreline of another great former watery expanse and it was here thatthe inscribed stone [the photo contained in her November email] lay. Nearby this former waterfront site Iuncovered a 30cm tall by 8.6cm wide by 9cm deep basalt image of the Egyptian deity Horus. Anaccompanying Celtic [!] inscription stated:Guardian of the Sun and of the land. Guardian of the Suns Eye.

A large basalt slab found by Camille was found to possess this lengthy message : This stone declares that our King, Kogada of the Sun, for the festival of the Day of the Sun [ie Beltane], two days of celebration will annually People grow grain for the festivities of the Day of the Sun. At the place where the Suns course is measured on the flat grothe enclosure leave your grain offerings at the Temple altar for distribution. Ho! Take heed, Husa-ra the Danite who guardsacred enclosure of the God of the Sun and Rata the Elder priest guard it.

Another inscription referred to The fishermens Bel of the Waters.Remains of a fishermens temple of Bel once stood nearby.

Another slab inscription was later translated to read: At the Temple of Sun all who came from Tarsus to this sunny land gather in thanks to Bel.

Rising up to overlook the surrounding landscape on this property however, was a volcanic plug, andas the afternoon wore on I left Camille and Heather among the dozens of inscriptions, to make my way through tall grass to the north base of this 200 ft or more tall natural formation. However, I soon detectedsigns of ancient human modification with traces of ancient terracing and that I was climbing what appearedto be an ancient pathway to the summit. Once here it did not take long to find the natural plug had not only been flattened on its summit for the construction of enclosures, but that it was four-sided, the west facedirectly in line with the sun, which was beginning to get low on the horizon. I went to work quickly to record

what I could and soon found a 32cm long by 11cm wide basalt Bel head lying amid rubble. A large stone borea message telling all to assemble here to worship the sun, and when I began the descent back down the north

face of this obvious truncated pyramid, on the summit edge I found a 90cm long phallic image bearing themessage Phallus of the Sun.

*****Friday 25th June, when Camille drove me up to the west paddock previously mentioned on the hillside

not far north of her farmhouse, I had her stop while I investigated an upright standing stone slab. I found itbore Celtic ogham letterings which stated: The City of Bel.Soon afterwards we stumbled upon a westpaddock stone slab bearing a partially missing inscription in Celtic glyphs referring to the City of Bels Golden

Eye. Obviously this was the full name of a city that once dominated this entire region. Nearby I uncovered alarge sandstone block bearing a right profile head of Bel with a Phrygian cap.

Other finds, including traces of ancient stone walls awaited us on a rise overlooking the southernshoreline of the former vast waterway, the prize discovery being a fallen, 1.77m tall by 70cm wide and 19cmdeep sandstone stele bearing this lengthy inscription: The Eye of Bel our God to whom all pray, the White King, the Sun our God. Bel, Bel, Bel the benevolent. At this place, Bels Land of the White Sun, the Sun Temple stands erect, wstones are its colour where we gather to pray. To our Land of the Sun settlers ships come by day. Beneath Bels Eye. HamKing declares all multiply to populate the land. Our King declares before Bels Eye whose waters flow from his Eye, the impregnate the population, that we pray to the God Bel of the Waters that fill this harbour. Here all give praise to Bel.

Reluctantly Heather and I had to leave on the Saturday morning, but anticipate returning for a moreextensive investigation with Camilles assistance later this year, when she will organise for us to inspect

neighbours properties hereabouts for further traces of the City of Bels Golden Eye and other evidence of the Kingdom of Ham.

As we drove south we came upon a number of four-sided natural pyramid hills. In the vicinity of one I found a small Celtic inscribed stone. Taking in these structures on the far southern fringes of the greatseries of former interconnecting waterways, the Kingdom of Ham would appear to have been far greater inextent than the better known Gympie Egypto-Phoenician colony, which like the Kingdom of Ham extendedto the coast.

What an exciting adventurous life Heather and I lead! And what incredible discoveries, lost cities andcivilisations we are privileged to uncover!
