Foreword
The background story as to how I was asked to write this foreword to Where Pharaohs Dwell is an interesting and very synchronistic story in itself. More than a year ago, I knew very little about Patricia as we had never met. I had heard her name and knew she was the author of several books, but that was about all.
That has significantly changed in the last six months. I have learned that Patricia and I lived in the same town, San Jose, California, for a while; we were in France and Egypt at the same times; and we have had similar experiences with deep connections to the star system of Sirius and crystal skulls. But the most significant connection was my learning that Patricia was also a student of my beloved teacher, AbdEl Hakim Awyan (19262008).
Hakim was an Egyptian-born Egyptologist and archeologist, and an indigenous wisdom keeper, who was a master of the oral traditions of his native country. I was a student, colleague, and close friend of Hakim for almost sixteen years (19922008). I have written two booksThe Land of Osiris and From Light into Darkness: The Evolution of Religion in Ancient Egyptbased on my work with Hakim and my own research for more than forty years.
Together, Hakim and I created a new discipline, Khemitology, to differ from the outdated and inaccurate paradigms of academic Egyptology, which we defined as being basically Greco-Roman mythology. I will be writing a third book continuing the work I did with Hakim over the last few yearsmy final written testament and memorial to this great Master.
Hakim passed over, or as he would term it, journeyed to the West, on August 23, 2008. After I had sent out the news over the Internetmy group passed the news on to their groups, who passed it on to their groups, etc.I personally received condolences from hundreds of people from all over the world. One message was from Patricia Cori in Italy, who had been aware of me and my work with Hakim.
The message from Patricia, in loving memory of our beloved teacher, began the friendship and collaboration now present. Patricia was the first person to interview me after Hakims passing, and it was a powerful and emotional experience for us both. We discussed that Hakim had presented to me the concept of Khemit, the ancients term for their civilization, not Egypt, which was based on the Greek term Aegyptos. Hakim taught us that there was a prehistoric, advanced civilization existing in Africa tens of thousands of years before the so-called dynastic periods recognized by Egyptologists as being the only ancient Egyptian civilization.
These ancient Khemitians, advanced not only technologically but spiritually too, carved the Sphinx as an aspect of the Great Mother, and constructed the stone masonry pyramids we find in various states of ruin in Egypt today. Hakim was adamant that the ancient pyramids were never originally intended to be tombs for any king, or anyone, but were energy devices as elucidated by my colleague, engineer Chris Dunn, in his landmark book,
