Philip Coppens (1971–2012)

A mish-mash of archaeology (both legitimate and highly dubious), speculation and flat out non-sense. I don't think anyone can question that it's a possibility that civilisation stretches far beyond available record so you don't have to act like you're the only one brave enough to say it out loud.

The New Pyramid Age
Worldwide Discoveries of New Pyramids Challenge our Thinking
by Philip Coppens

This 287 page book was really fascinating to review because I had not had much of an understanding of pyramids and thought basically they were all in Egypt, but low and behold, they have found them all over the place. I loved the lay out of this book since they gave me a lot of interesting factual information and some general theories and then let me develop an opinion for myself. There were also show more excellent pictures that showed me different types of pyramids and it helped me to see how vast the subject and form really was. I would recommend this new and enlightened guide to anyone being drawn to the mystic and debate of these great wonders of the world. Thanks Phillip, the pleasure was all mine.

In mystical and cabalistic circles, the question of to what degree birdsong is to be treated as language has been a fraught one at least since it was taught by God to Solomon and became the foundation of his famous wisdom. The “language of the birds” or “Green language” has been referred to by Michael Sells (cited in Coppens) as the “language of unsaying,” whereby “the core of what needs to be said is actually not said, though everybody understands what is being said.” The show more “greenness” of the language relates to alchemy and trans-substantiation or metamorphosis, as well as to nature, and to Derridean differance and things seen or understood from more than one angle (and is in this sense indexical of the themes of this course); Coppens, speaking of French, calls that homophonous ambiguity of the language its “green nature” which allows puns like Marcel Duchamp’s LHOOQ (Elle a chaud au cul, “She has a hot ass”) and an old Masonic password which involved replying to a statement crediting some event to l’hasard (chance) as though it had been caused by Lazare (Lazarus). Solomon’s wisdom, derived from the slippery tongues of birds, thus becomes akin to the intelligence gained by Odysseus from wrestling slippery Proteus, god of poetry. show less

Some interesting ideas. I can see how people can draw these conclusions but I am not completely convinced. Admittedly some things are quite intriguing though.
