The hermetic maxim ‘As above, so below’ has been taken literally in recent years by a number of alternative historians, most notably, Robert Buval. In his 1994 book the Orion Mystery, Buval postulated that the three pyramids on the Giza Plateau mirror the three stars in the Orion constellation with the Milky Way reflected by the river Nile.
This theory has now also been transposed onto other sites. Newgrange in Northern Ireland and three islands off the East Coast of Scotland have also been cited as mirroring the Orion constellation. The Scottish Islands are called Lamb, Craigleith and Fidra and came to media attention last week because of a certain celebrity. The ardent believer of the theory is the famous spoon-bending celebrity, Uri Geller, who last week bought the island of Lamb in the Firth of Forth. He believes that Lamb Island not only has links to the pyramids at Giza but also King Arthur and the medieval Knights Templar.
Originally on the market at £75,00 Geller paid the bargain 'knockdown' price of just £30,000 for uninhabited island.The Glasgow Herald newspaper reported that Geller said: "It is one of the keystones to British mythology, and I am thrilled to be its owner. I am fascinated by the connection between the pyramids and these islands.......So when I heard Lamb Island was for sale I felt a strong instinctive urge to buy it - and the more I delved into the history and the archaeological lore which surrounds it, the more certain I became that this is one of the most significant sites in Britain."
From his web site Geller claims that the island has links to the pyramids, King Arthur, King Robert the Bruce, the ancient Kings of Ireland and the Knights Templar! All claims unfortunately come to us without any supporting material to back them up and may possibly come from the non-material shelves of the Akashic records. By their very nature these records are beyond the 'ken' of most mortals and are cited by some authors but academics dismiss them completely. Mr Geller is looking forward to visiting his purchase in the not too distant future.
