Greetings to all, Thank you for the welcome. Rarely do I post but couldnt resist in this new forum. I have been following all the Pid/Pwr boards for several months and I think this is the best board yet. Hats off to the moderators. Having heard of the urband legend of Pid, and never giving it much thought, I was astounded at the photographic comparisons when I first stumbled across these boards. I thought it was very obvious that pre 67 and post 67 JP'S were two different people. Then I would read what certain skeptics had to say about how impossible it is/ it couldnt be/ I see the same guy etc. So I decided to show these photo comparisions to my 15 and 17 yr old daughters. Asking them if they knew who JP was the eldest replied " wasnt he a Beatle or something?". What was really interesting when I showed them these photos was that they clearly saw two diiferent people. Citing things like eyes,eyebrows, nose,lips, ears,head shape etc. Pretty astute observations from young unbiased observers who absolutely dont care if the Beatles ever even existed I thought. Anyhow this board is awesome keep up the good work, love all the vintage photos. And for what its worth I dont think there is any way that the man we know today as Macca is the original JPM.  Sincerely, Nicholas Flammel |

I decided to show these photo comparisions to my 15 and 17 yr old daughters. Let me guess: they're into Harry Potter? |

Oh, okay. I just checked, and in HP, it's spelled "Nicolas Flamel".

It is easy to figure what knowledge he possessed about the method of transmuting metals into gold. "Alchemy was already highly developed a century before he was born. The writings of Albertus Magnus, Arnaud de Villeneuve, and Raymond Lully were in the hands of the hermetics. The manuscripts of Nicolas Flamel circulated, and there is no doubt that Gilles had acquired them, for he was an avid collector of the rare. Let us add that at that epoch the edict of Charles interdicting spagyric labours under pain of prison and hanging, and the bull, Spondent pariter quas non exhibent, which Pope John XXII fulminated against the alchemists, were still in vigour. These treatises were, then, forbidden, and in consequence desirable. It is certain that Gilles had long studied them, but from that to understanding them is a far cry. "For they were written in an impossible jargon of allegories, twisted and obscure metaphors, incoherent symbols, ambiguous parables, enigmas, and ciphers. And here is an example." He took from one of the shelves of the library a manuscript which was none other than the Asch-Mezareph, the book of the Jew Abraham and of Nicolas Flamel, restored, translated, and annotated by Eliphas Levi. 77 This manuscript had been lent him by Des Hermies, who had' discovered it one day among some old papers. www.geocities.com/kidhistory/labas/lbone.htmAny applications? |
