George Curtis - Ancient Knowledge

by Jack Lewis

Im sure that it cannot be very often that he who is asked to write a foreword to a book was also a contributor to that book and also that he had never met the author in his life. I am such a person. My contribution to Georges book is that I did many of the illustrations; however, the fact that I have never actually met George must be bizarre in the least.

I have been corresponding with George for about three years and all by email. He saw my email address on the top of a letter that I had posted on an Internet discussion forum. It was remiss of me to leave my address on that letter because there are so many malevolent people who could have done me mischief as a result. In the event I suffered no cyber-attacks except from George.

George picked up my email address and wrote to me.

This is where this whole thing gets very interesting. George contacted me because of something I left in view by mistake, however George was not beyond making the same mistake himself!

In his first email to me there was a website link underneath his name at the end of the email. Being of a curious nature, I clicked on it to see what it would reveal.

What I saw was the most astonishing set of calculations that I had ever seen!

Not fully understanding what they were demonstrating I emailed George and asked him what they were all about. Georges reaction was like that of someone who had been caught-out doing something terrible in secret. I really had to press George very hard to tell me what it was all about. This book, I like to think, is the result of that pressure although it took three years for it to happen.

George is retired by profession and by nature - a quiet kind of man who is devoted to his wife. He is intelligent and no slouch when it comes to mathematics. He was skilled in electronics and that is where his interest in science was probably birthed.

He is also an amateur geologist and likes to live dangerously, climbing up and down cliffs and old tin mines looking for interesting minerals.

I mentioned earlier that George asked me to undertake all his illustration work, but I have to say that George is also a very good oil painter. My expertise in illustration was that I was a technical illustrator for over 30 years and I also ran my own graphic design company. I too am now retired.

This book has a great deal of Georges life tied up in it. When he first published his thesis he was subjected to many personal attacks and ridicule. His personal life also suffered badly. These attacks werent against the science or the reasoning but because he dared to challenge beliefs which are part and parcel of the accepted scientific wisdom of the day.

This wisdom may be just the same today but one hopes that it may have moved on. Scientists are human and as such have the same foibles and prejudices as ordinary people. When a scientist undertakes new research he never starts with a blank sheet of paper. He starts with a blank sheet of paper and a given, probably unshakable, world-view. It is this worldview that will guide the way his research results are interpreted.

This book seriously challenges the perceived scientific and spiritual wisdom of today. It will take you from nothing more than a chat George had with two elderly ladies on his doorstep, to a realisation that something awesome has taken place in the past and the cause of which was still present today.
