The Manna Machine is a theory by George Sassoon and Rodney Dale that a machine
device was given to the Israelites, when they went on their 40 year journey in the Sinai
Desert. The device was said to create manna, a type of chloric algae. It explains how the
Israelites survived their 40 year wandering in the Sinai Desert. It is said[by whom?] that the
manna machine was stored in the Ark of the Covenant. The Ark was supposed to have
powered the machine to run continuously, producing manna for six days. On the 7th day
it would be taken apart for cleaning so it could run the following week. This is were
Sabbath is thought to come from.

Origin
There are several theories[by whom?] on where the Manna Machine came from:

The theory that it was stolen from the Egyptians during The Exodus.

The theory that beings from another world saw that the Israelites were starving
and decided to help them out.

The theory that it came from builders who knew technology.

The theory that the Osirian race brought it to the Egyptains in 10,000 B.C, after
their homeland Atlantis was flooded.

Taken to Oak Island

There are theories[by whom?] that in in 1398 the Knights Templar under Arthur Sinclair and
200 followers took the Manna Machine and the Ark of the Covenant to the tiny island in

Nova Scotia known as Oak Island. After constructing labyrinths, canals and flood
tunnels, they sealed the Manna Machine and the Ark of the Covenant in for eternity,
hoping that no one would ever find it and creating the most elaborate treasure vault ever.
In 1973 a hole was dug[by whom?] on Oak Island 660 ft (200 m) north-east of so-called
Money Pit. It was dug down to 230 ft (70 m) when they[who?] found a wire measuring 2 in
(5.1 cm) and a metal plate, leading to the theory that the Manna Machine is buried there.
Drilling stopped and hasn't resumed due to running out of funds. An earlier excavation in
1970, called "Borehole 10-x", also found metal and wiring.[citation needed]
NASA uses chloric algae tanks to provide food during manned space missions.[citation needed]

Key to picture above...

'Mouth' (air intake) carrying the 'breath of life' (air)
via
annular duct to
'the brain of the Ancient One' (dew still). The dew still
is covered by
'the ether' ot 'transparent outer skull of the Ancient
One.' The water from the still runs into
'the great sea' (Chlorella culture-tank) where the
manna production starts: the culture-solution
circulates through
'the hairs of the beard of the Ancient One' (gas
exchange pipes) and is irradiated by 'the upper eye'
(the light-source in the centre of the culture-tank not
visible). The culture-tank is furnished with
'the remnant' (safety valve) and
'the residues of the brain' (drain cock). Connected to
the culture-tank are
'the three lower eyes' (tanks containing nutrient salts)
fed via
'the channels of the lower eyes' (connecting pipes).
The light and power for the machine are derived
from
'the fire-containing vessel' (nuclear reactor) with its
'keys' (control rod actuators). Remote handling is
performed by
'the arm of the Small-faced One' (mechanical arm and
hand). The air drawn over the still passes through
'the long nose' (ventilation duct) and is ducted past the
reactor (11) in order to cool it and then convects up
'the nose of the Small-faced One' (exhaust)
producing
'the column of smoke by day and the column of fire
by night'. A Buchner pump (not visible) in the exhaust
produces the vacuum needed to process the Chlorella
in
'the cavities of the brain of the Small-faced One'
(manna processing plant). The Buchner pump is

connected to 'the cavities of the brain' by

'the beard of the Small-faced One' (vacuum pipe
manifold). The processed manna is stored in
'the hosts' (manna storage vessels) and is drawn off
through
'the penis' (manna discharge pipe) and
'the cover of the penis' (vacuum lock). The machine
stands upon
'legs as columns six' (six legs with rings for carrying
poles) resting on
'the throne' (platform of local materials) which is 'cast
down' when the machine is moved. The whole
machine 'the Ancient of Days' may be seperated
into
'the Ancient One' (top part) and
'the Small-faced One' (bottom part). Between these
two parts lie
'the nakedness' (interface unit) below which are
'the crowns of the Small-faced One' (inspection
covers) and

'the ear of the Small-faced One (communications

unit).

The Manna Machine

George Sassoon and Rodney Dale
What exactly was manna? In their search for an answer, George Sassoon and
Rodney Dale began to research into Jewish texts, particularly the Zohar, a
collection of thirteenth-century writings from oral traditions which some
believe date back to the time of the Exodus.
From these texts, they have drawn startling conclusions: that manna was a form
of alga cultured in a machine, and that the mysterious texts of Zohar are an
instruction-manual for that machine.
This exciting and provocative theory has at last made some sense of the texts,
explains many biblical mysteries and Jewish customs, and throws new light on

the possibility of ancient extra-terrestrial visitations.

The full translation of the texts is presented in The Kabbalah Decoded. The
biological and engineering interpretation is explored in The Manna Machine.

In the Zohar, two engineers, George Sassoon and Rodney Dale, "found a
detailed physical description of a god named the 'Ancient of Days'. The
androgynous god consisted of a male part and a female part, which is quite
typical of mystery religions. What struck Sassoon and Dale as truly odd about
the god was the fact that it appeared to be a god that could be taken to
pieces and reassembled."
- Brad Steiger, Worlds Before Our Own
"As described in the texts, the Ancient of Days is a complicated physical
structure. Some people think that it may have been an intricately-carved idol,
captured from a non-Jewish people, which was kept secret because the Jews
did not allow idol worship; others dismiss the whole thing as a fanciful
invention."
- George Sassoon and Rodney Dale, The Manna Machine
"The minute details of this procedure caused the two scientists to 'look
closely at the texts, uncluttered by peripheral verbiage, and to decide that
there was a high probability that they describe not a god but a machine in
anthropomorphic terms.'"
- Brad Steiger, Worlds Before Our Own
"I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of Days did sit,
whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of is head was like pure
wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire. A
fiery stream issued and came forth from him...and behold, one like the son of
man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of Days."
- Daniel, 7:9ff
"But what are these wheels? The word used in the Aramaic text of Daniel is
GLGLVHI (galgalohi) - his wheels. However, in the Zohar, 'his skulls' is
GVLGLVHI (golgalohi), and it sometimes appears without the first 'V', making
it identical with the 'wheels' of Daniel. It seems fairly likely, then, that Daniel
is taking about skulls not wheels; and in describing his 'vision', he is hinting to
those in the know that he possesses the secret knowledge."
"In Aramaic, the title [Ancient of Days] is attik yomin (OThIQ IVMIN), and in
Hebrew attik yomim (OThIQ IMIM). The first word comes from the word attak
(OThQ), to remove or transport; it is used several times in the Bible, mostly
with that meaning. The form attik would then mean 'transporting' or possibly

' that which is transported'."

"The second word in the title is IVMIN or IMIM, supposed to mean '(of the)
days'. Now the word IVM, pronounced 'yom', does mean 'day'...But there is
another word in Hebrew, IM, pronounced 'yam'. This means 'sea'. In the
plural, both words are spelt the same, IMIM. If pronounced 'yomim', this
means days, and if 'yamim', seas. From this, we discover that OThIQ IMIM can
mean Ancient of Days, but is could also mean Transportable One of the
Seas..."
"In the Bible, there are various seas, and the word is also used for what we
could called lakes such as the Sea of Galilee. There is also the great Sea, yam
rav in Hebrew, the name given to the Mediterranean, which was the largest
body of water known to the ancient Israelites. Yam rav was also the 'great
sea' of bronze which stood in front of Solomon's Temple (2 Chronicles 4:2ff).
This was a large vessel filled with water and used for purification rituals. It
appears, therefore, that the word 'sea' in Hebrew can also mean 'a large
vessel for containing liquids', or in modern terms, a tank."
- George Sassoon and Rodney Dale, The Manna Machine
"The Ancient of Days consisted principally of three 'skulls', an outer one
which contained two others inside it, placed one above the other. In the
middle of this arrangement was the 'cardinal lamp', which shone with 'a
brightness to exceed all brightnesses'. It has a 'beard', the 'hairs' of which
grow out of one part of its 'face' and back in again at other places; there is no
mention of a body, but there is a 'strong right arm', there are six feet; and in
between them there are two testicles, and a penis. A substance known
variously as the 'dew', the 'oil of great goodness' and other terms, ran down
from the upper parts of this object, to be stored in the 'testicles' and finally
discharged from the 'penis'."
- George Sassoon, "The Ancient of Days: Deity or Manna-Machine"
"According to the traditions, the Ancient One had but a single eye, right in the
middle of his head, which shone with a blinding brightness, while the Smallfaced One had three eyes, of different colors, which did not shine with their
own light. There was no easy way in which the rabbis could reconcile these
descriptions with a god-being of reasonably human appearance, and so the
texts are full of extraordinary arguments."
- George Sassoon and Rodney Dale, The Manna Machine
"This brain is hollowed out, and (the eye) lights up three whitenesses above
the eye."
- Lesser Holy Assembly 116
"The upper eye is also known as the Eye of Providence, and under this name
it is frequently mentioned in Masonic rituals."
- George Sassoon and Rodney Dale, The Manna Machine

(2) The Dew Still

"The head which is incomprehensible is secret in secret. But it hath been
formed and prepared in the likeness of a cranium, and is filled with the
crystalline dew."
- The Book of Concealed Mystery
"Its [the manna's] color was like the color of crystal."
- Numbers 11:7
"When Sassoon and Dale read in one of the texts such passages as the
following, they believed the words to be describing a machine for making
manna: 'Into the skull...distills the dew from the white head...and from this
dew they grind the manna...and the manna did not appear to be derived from
this dew except at one time: the time when Israel was wandering in the
desert.' Sassoon and Dale asumed that the Ark of the Covenant included the
manna machine..."
- Brad Steiger, Worlds Before Our Own
"...The top skull is white. In it there is no beginning or end. The hollow thing of
its juices is extended and is made to flow....From this follow thing for juice of
the white skull the dew falls every day into the small-faced one....And his
head is filled, and from the small-faced one it falls....The Ancient Holy One is
secret and hidden. And the upper wisdom is concealed in the skull which is
found [i.e. can be seen] and from this into that the Ancient One is not opened
[i.e. there is no passage visible]. And the head is not single because it is the
top of the whole head. The upper wisdom is inside the head: it is concealed
and is called the upper brain, the concealed brain, the brain that appeases
and is quiet. And there is no [man] that knows it....
"Three heads are hollowed out: this inside that and this above the other. One
head is wisdom; it is concealed from that which is covered. This wisdom is
concealed; it is the top of all...[heads of the other wisdoms]. The upper head
is the Ancient and Holy One, the most concealed of all concealed ones. It is
the top of the whole head, the head which is not a head [not an ordinary
one], and is not known. And because of this, the Ancient Holy One is called
'nothing'. And all those hairs and all those cords from the brain are
concealed, are all smooth in the carrier. And all of the neck is not
seen....There is one path that flows in the division of the hairs from the
brain..."
- HADRA ZVTA QDIShA (Lesser Holy Assembly) Verses 51-73
from Kabbalah Denudata (1644)
"Sassoon and Dale feel certain that other parts of the exoteric texts indicate
that the 'hairs' and 'cords' are wires and pipes. 'Wisdom,' they conclude, is a
liquid utilized in the process of manufacturing manna."
- Brad Steiger, Worlds Before Our Own

"From the top of the skull it starts and is extended into the whole of the body,
from its breast and from its arms, and from the whole. To his buttocks is
attached the spark of the cardinal lamp, and it lights up. And a skull goes out
which is concealed from all sides. And the shiner descends from the two
brains hollowed out in it [the skull]. And it [the shiner] is attached in the
direction of the male part..."
- HADRA ZVTA QDIShA (Lesser Holy Assembly) 709
"At the top is a dew-still: a refrigerated, corrugated surface over which air is
drawn, from which water condenses. This is fed to a container in the center of
which is a powerful light-source for irradiating a culture, possibly of Chlorellatype algae. There are dozens of strains of Chlorella, and the balance of
protein, carbohydrate, and fat in a chosen strain can be varied by choosing
the appropriate conditions of growth for the culture.
"This algal culture circulates through pipes which permit an exchange of
oxygen and carbon dioxide with the atmosphere, and also dissipate heat. The
Chlorella sludge is drawn off into another vessel where it is treated so that
the starch is partially hydrolyzed to maltose, which is then burnt slightly to
give the honey-and-wafers flavor....The dried material is then fed to two
vessels. One is emptied daily to provide the day's supply, and the other fills
slowly during the week so that two days' supply is available on the eve of the
Sabbath...."
- George Sassoon and Rodney Dale, New Scientist, April 1, '76
"And all of the stream (of blessing) that flows from all of the body is gathered
there, into those that are called the hosts...and that flow, after it is collected
there, it stays there, and then goes to the holly foundation. It is all white, and
therefore it is called mercy. And this mercy enters the Holy of Holies..."
- HADRA ZVTA QDIShA (Lesser Holy Assembly) 761
"And furthermore, the body is extended into two legs [or irrigations]. And
between them they contain two kidneys, two masculine testicles [literally
eggs]. All the oil and the greatness and the masculine force from the whole
body are gathered into them...and therefore they are called the 'hosts'; and
they are called 'Victory' and 'Glory'....Victory and Glory are the hosts, and
therefore (we get the name) 'Lord of Hosts'. The masculine penis is the end of
the whole body, and it is called the 'foundation'."
- - HADRA ZVTA QDIShA (Lesser Holy Assembly) 740
"The two hosts, then Victory and Glory, the manna storage tanks, were
thought of as testicles; and the manna discharge nozzle, the penis, was the
foundation." "The names of the testicles were Victory and Gory, in Hebrew,
NTzCh (Netzach) and HVD (Hod)...The dictionary tells us that NTzCh also
means 'juice' or 'essence' in Hebrew, and it is used in the Bible (Isaiah 63:3),
with the meaning of grape-juice."

(3) Operation and Maintenance
"The name of our source-book is the Zohar from ZHR, to illuminate. Properly,
the book should be called The Book of the Illumination. This may refer to the
illumination of the soul of the reader, in a religious sense - but it might
equally well mean the lighting-up of the Ancient of Days, and its restoration
to working order."
- George Sassoon and Rodney Dale, The Manna Machine
"Tradition: at the time when Israel is crying out in distress, then the hairs are
uncovering from over the ears, so that the voice can go into the ears, into
that tube that drips from the brain, and it collects in the brain. And it goes out
into the tubes of the nose. And the nose is shortened and becomes hot, and
fire and smoke go out form those tubes, and all the strengths are excited, and
it makes revenges. But before the fire and smoke go out form those tubes,
that voice goes upwards, and influences the top of the brain, and the two
tears flow down for the eyes. And the smoke and the fire go out from the
perforations (of the nose), by (the action of) that voice..."
- Greater Holy Assembly 716
"Every seven days [on the Sabbath] , the machine was carefully taken apart
and cleaned, with all the parts lovingly protected from dust and dirt. The,
even more carefully, it was reassembled, culminating in the final plugging
together of the two major components, a sexual act in itself. It was then
switched on, and the various processes would start in order. First, the dew
would run down from the brain, then the 'great sea' would fill, with the 'oil of
great goodness' running through the 'beard'. Then the 'tears' would run down
from the 'eyes', adding seed and fertilizer, and finally the 'eye of providence'
would light up with a blinding brightness. There would then follow a long
period of waiting, during which the plants multiplied and were drawn off and
processed, before the testicles started to fill. At long last, after many hours of
anxious preparation, the manna would flow. Small wonder that the whole
process was seen as some kind of cosmic copulation."
- George Sassoon and Rodney Dale, The Manna Machine
"And Moses speaks these words [IHVH, IHVH] in the place of judgment, that
he may make measure of mercies go down from the Ancient Holy One to the
Small-faced One. For they teach that so great was the power of Moses, that
he made the measure of mercies to go down to the lower part."
- Greater Holy Assembly 696
"..Moses entered the Holy of Holies, said the Name twice, and down came the
measures of manna....The failure of the manna coincided with the death of
Moses."

- George Sassoon and Rodney Dale, The Manna Machine

"And the manna did not appear to be derived from this dew except at one
time; the time when Israel was wandering in the desert. And then the Ancient
One of All fed them from this place. But afterwards, it was not found."
- - HADRA ZVTA QDIShA (Lesser Holy Assembly) 440
"Who shall give us flesh to eat? We remember the fish, which we did eat in
Egypt freely; the cucumbers and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions,
and the garlic: but now our soul is dried away: and there is noting at all
beside this mana before our eyes...and the people went about, and gathered
it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in a mortar, and baked it in pans, and
make cakes of it: and the taste thereof was as the taste of fresh oil."
- Numbers 11:4ff
"And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old corn of
the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they did eat
of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year."
- Joshua 5:12
"How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity!
It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running
down on Aaron's beard, down upon the collar of his robes.
It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the LORD
bestows his blessing, even life forevermore."
- Psalm 133 A song of ascents. Of David.
"This psalm is...quoted in the manna-machine texts of the Zohar (GHA 321,
LHA 677). The latter passage is in connection with the nine parts of the beard
of the Small-faced One: ' ... the beard is seen as strong power (GIBR ThQIP),
as strong Masters of the Juices of the inside parts (GIBR MARI NTzCh QRBIN).
Into this beard there flows the oil of goodness from the Ancient Concealed
One, as it is said (Ps. 133:2) 'Like the precious ointment upon the head, that
ran down the beard, even Aaron's beard'.
"Clearly the reference is to the annual Yom Kippur ritual of the fruitless
attempts to reboot the manna-machine, with the High Priest pouring oil all
over himself."
- George Sassoon (private correspondence)
Psalm 133 was read 'Ecce quam bonum et quam jucundum' during the ritual
of admission into the Knights Templar, an order which supposedly sought the
lost Ark of the Covenant.
"And Moses said unto Aaron, take a pot, and put an omer full of manna
therein, and lay it up before the Lord, to be kept for our generations...So
Aaron laid it up before the [Ark of] Testimony, to be kept."

- Exodus 16:33
"After its final failure, the manna-machine was taken to a shrine at Shiloh,
where it no longer occupied a central position in the life of Israel. However, a
dedicated band of priests continued to tend it....They could devote their time
to the study of the machine; they probably still received enough sacrificial
offerings to live in reasonable style. They were the founders of the society
known as the Reapers of the Holy Field, and the original Lords of
Measurements of the Zohar."
- George Sassoon and Rodney Dale, The Manna Machine
"[The nose] and also all the parts of the Ancient of Days are seen, and they
are not seen; they are seen by the Lords of Measurements, but they are not
seen by anyone else."
- Greater Holy Assembly 208
(4) The Short Face (Microprosopus)
"The ear [of the Small-faced One] is formed inside with 'curved incisions', so
that the 'voice (kola) may be traced as it goes up into the brain'. In the ear,
there are the Lords of Wings, whose function is to convert the 'voice (kola)',
into 'speech (melah)'."
- George Sassoon and Rodney Dale, The Manna Machine
"And that speech that goes out is made to break through into the ether [or
space], and it is poured out and goes up and flies into the universe [or world].
And the 'voice' is made from it...and it goes into [the king's] ears."
- - HADRA ZVTA QDIShA (Lesser Holy Assembly) 592
"Ordinary 'speech' can be heard by human ears, but it does not travel very
far. But with the help of 'Lords of Wings', the speech can be converted into
the 'voice'. the voice - a radio signal - cannot be heard by the unaided ear,
but it can travel vast distances. However, in order to hear it, another set of
Lords of wings is necessary, a radio receiver to convert it back to speech
again."
- George Sassoon and Rodney Dale, The Manna Machine
"For a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and the Lord of the Wings shall tell
the speech."
- Ecclesiastes 10:20
In the discussion of the black eye of the Small-faced One:
"The second color is black, like the stone which goes out from the depth once
in a thousand years into the great sea. When this stone goes out, there
comes a disturbance and a power on the sea. And it is the 'voice' of the sea,

and its rotations [galgalohi] are made to flow. And the great fish that is called
Leviathan is made to listen to them."

To the manna born?

One possible purpose of an index is to arouse interest
in the text of the book itself. Certainly, some of the
entries in the index to The manna machine by George
Sassoon and Rodney Dale (Sidgwick & Jackson, 1978)
are as intriguing (not to say 'mouth-watering') as the
title
itself and arouse curiosity as to what unusual informa
tion they may be directing us to.
There is, for example, the frequent use of the 'equals'
sign, apparently drawing attention to a number of
synonymous terms. (This, presumably, is what the
introductory note means by the rather cryptic
statement
that 'many of the identities given in the text are
collated
in this index'.) 'Heaven = sky' seems straightforward
enough; but the significance of many of the others
lies
well beyond my powers of surmise. What can be the
significance of 'Ancient = transportable' or 'Anger =
nose'or, still more intriguing, 'Beauty =
sewertogether'
[an unfortunate ambiguity here, at the very
least], or 'Days of old = 13th part of beard'?
There is even an occasional triple equation, such as:
'High priest, breastplate of = radio = The Oracle". And
with 'Leviathan = Lord's spacecraft' we seem to be
getting into the realms of SF (with more of the F than
the
S, perhaps). 'Angels... explain radio' could belong to a
similar realm of fantasy; whereas 'Electrolux
principle'
seems to introduce a more sordidly commercial touch
and arouses a suspicion that this index may have
been
sponsored. (Now that's a thought. Shouldn't we be
exploring the possibility of commercially sponsored
book indexes? Will the Editor offer a prize for the best
suggestion of an appropriate sponsor for this year's
winner of the Wheatley Medal? Or would that turn
indexing into more of a sport than an art-form? But I
digress.)
It is clear enough from the index that the book has a
bizarre theme and is concerned with the Kabbalah

and
Freemasonry and suchlike matters. To that extent the
indexer fails completely in my case to make me want
to
read the book; but then, I'm the kind of person who is
quite impervious to even a modicum of the esoteric. It
is
arguable that the authors seem to be quite out of
touch
with the real world as most of us encounter it. But
there
is one entry at least which suggests otherwise.
Indeed,
having bridged the yawning gap between the Exodus
and
the world of telecommunications, the indexer seems
to
issue a solemn warning, applicable especially to the
computer enthusiasts among us:
Moses...
communicates by radio 220
punishes machine worshippers 200
Back to your shoeboxes, slaves of the midnight oil,
before divine retribution befalls you in the form of a
plague of viruses.

(The title means: The Eternity Machine)
The Holy Grail - Chalice or Manna Machine?
by Dr. Johannes Fiebag and Peter Fiebag
Translated from the German by George T. Sassoon
The Kabbalah, a body of Jewish traditional knowledge, was kept secret until the 13th
Century AD, it s content was regarded from the magical-mystical point of view
particularly so with respect to the Ancient of Days. This was considered to be a Jewish
demi-god until in 1978 two English engineers, George Sassoon and Rodney Dale,
concluded that the description of the Ancient of Days in the Zohar, one of the books of
the Kabbalah, was not of an ominous god-figure, but rather a machine. A close
investigation of the text convinced them that the machine produced the biblical manna
which fed the Israelites during their forty-year wandering in the desert and was probably
of extraterrestrial origin [1].
Othiq Yomin
The machine, called the Othiq Yomin in the Zohar, worked on the basis of the cultivation
and processing of an algae-culture, probably one of the chlorella species, which was
maintained by a supply of dew, or water, and of radiation from a nuclear-powered lightsource.
The Zohar description is so exact that Sassoon and Dale were able to reconstruct the
machine in all its details. At the top was a dew-distilling apparatus, which consisted of a
curved, cooled surface. Air flowed over this, and from it water condensed. This water was
the basic material for the vessel at the center, which contained the light source and the
algae itself, which circulated in various pipes, permitting an exchange of oxygen and
carbon dioxide with the atmosphere and also dissipated heat. The chlorella sludge was
then taken to another vessel, where the starch content was partically hydrolyzed to maltlike substances (hence the "honey and wafer" taste of the manna), and the dried matter
was then finally stored in two collection containers from which it was later drawn off.
To reconstruct such a complex machine from the text of the Zohar necessitated a fresh
translation of the original text, which was accomplished by Sassoon, a linguist and
computer expert, as well as an electronics engineer [2]]. While the textual description of
the machine is extremely detailed, it is not immediately apparent that it is a technical
service manual because the parts of the Othiq Yomin (originally translated as Ancient of
Days, when the "Transportable One of the Tanks" would be more accurate) are
designated with the terminology in use about 1000 BC. For example, in the Zohar we
read passages such as the following:
"There are three upper heads; two, and one which contains them."
At the time the Zohar was written, there were no words for "perspex dome", or "algaecultivation-vessel", so they used "head", "skull" and very often "face", such as in the
following extract:
"The dew of the white head drops into the skull of the Small-faces One and there is it
stored."

To enable regeneration of the algae-culture, it was made to flow through a transparent

circulation system, which is known in the Zohar as the "venerable beard", through which
went the "oil of the great goodness", that is, the algal sludge. These "pipes" are discussed
thusly:
"And those parts which are found in the beard, they are shaped and lead downwards in
many directions."
The machine was equipped with a considerable number of control lamps, which are
called "shining eyes" in the Zohar text, and which light up in various colors:
"In his lower eyes there are a left and a right eye, and these two have two colors, except
when they are seen in the white light of the upper eye."
Ark of the Covenant
The complete machine was regarded as a deity or demi-deity consisting of male and
female parts. It was given to the Israelites at the beginning of their wandering in the
wilderness, possibly by extraterrestrials and produced the manna which enabled them to
survive. By all accounts, the machine was kept in the so-called Ark of the Covenant,
which served as a transport container for the nuclear-powered machine, which was easily
damaged under desert conditions. In the time of David and Solomon it found its place in
the Holy of Holies in Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem, while before that it was kept in the
Holy Tent, or Tabernacle.
The last mention of the Ark in the Old Testament is in the book of Maccabees, where the
prophet Jeremiah hides the Ark and the Machine on Mount Nebo. After that the Bible
says no more, and nowhere in it do we find any further trace. Such was the state of
knowledge about the Ancient of Days and the Ark of the Covenant after the publication
of Rodney Dale and George Sassoon's book The Manna Machine.
In 1980, we began to investigate the history of the machine. We asked ourselves how it
was possible for such an important and unusual object to disappear without a trace, and
whether it was possible for it to have re-appeared as some "Holy Device" at some time
during the course of the following 2500 years. Now, at the end of our preliminary studies
on this subject, we have come to the conclusion that the Manna Machine was brought
from Israel to Europe.
Our statement that the machine was re-discovered and transported is based on two pieces
of evidence: first the Parsifal (Parzival) epic of the upper middle ages, and second the
history of the Order of the Brotherhood of the Templars.
Parsifal
The Parsifal epic was first set down in written form around 1200 AD almost
simultaneously in French and German, by the French poets Chrtien de Troyes and
Robert de Boron, and by the German story-teller Wolfram von Eschenbach. In essence, it
is a traditional story of a young hero who was brought up far from any contact with the
knightly and courtly culture of the middle ages, and who escapes into the wide world
where he has many adventures and meets King Arthur. He is dubbed a knight by the
King, resumes his adventurous existence and is finally led to the castle of Munsalvatsch
by the "hand of God". In this magical fortress there is a clan of nobles called the
Guardians of the Grail. Their king has committed many sins which have condemned him
to eternal sickness, from which he can be freed only if a God-fearing man asks him a
question as to the reason for his illness. Parsifal is invited to a meal, but fails to ask the
question. For many years he wanders hither and thither until he finally has another

opportunity to visit Munsalvatsch. This time he asks the crucial question, the King's
illness and suffering disappear, and Parsifal himself is crowned "Grail-King".
Several medievalists have already noted that the Parsifal epic consists of a conglomerate
of very different texts. In fact, there existed a long time previously the so-called Peredur
tradition, a Celtic myth which already contained many elements of the later legends. In it
there are parts of the Arthur material, various heathen myths, Christian influences and the
actual grail-tradition itself, which must be considered completely separate.
But what actually was the Grail? Authors of the middle ages carefully avoid any exact
description. It is obvious that they had never seen the "holy object" themselves. The two
French writers describe it simply as a "handsome vessel" or as a "metal bowl", and
Robert de Boron states that it is the very chalice used at the Last Supper. It is here that the
Christian influence on the Parsifal saga is most apparent. Wolfram von Eschenbach, on
the other hand, is even more reticent. He writes simply:
"It was a thing, called the Grail, that gave all earthly desires in abundance."
And:
"The stone was also called the grail."
Etymologically speaking, several derivations are to be found of the Grail concept. From
the middle Latin gradalis and the French gradale, meaning "bowl"; from the Provenal
grazaal which corresponds to the old Catalonian gresal, which can also be translated as
"bowl", "basin", or "dish", but also with the connotations of "milk-jug", "pleasure",
"charity", and "bread"; and from a Nordic version of the Parsifal tradition - and this
strikes us as most significant - the grail is spoken of as an object known as the gangandi
greidi which can be translated as "transformer of consumable material".
Wolfram von Eschenbach speaks occasionally of a stone which he calls lapsit exillis.
Philologically speaking, it has not yet been determined with certainty what is meant by
this, however there is general agreement that lapsit is in fact a corruption of the word
lapis, or "stone". One author emphasizes that "a contributor to the formation of lapsit is
the Latin lapsus, as a word designating any sliding downward movements, fall or dive".
In addition, lapsit exillis is also interpreted as lapis elixir, that is, "stone of the wise",
which agrees well with the miracle-working nature of the grail. Other derive it from lapis
exilii ("stone of the exile"), or lapis exulis ("the stone that is found far from home").
Finally, there is another very interesting translation: lapis lapsus ex illis stellis, that is "the
stone that came down from the stars".
We now approach the point where we can make a hypothesis that the "Holy Grail" of the
middle ages must have been the same as the Manna Machine of the Israelites described in
the Kabbalah. This line of thinking is supported by two important factors: the principal
function of the Grail and its origin. In the Zohar we find the following information about
the foodstuff produced by the Manna Machine:
"And from that dew they grind the manna of the just ones for the world to come. At that
time the Ancient of Days fed them from that place."
Also:
"See, I will make bread from Heaven to rain upon ye."

And further:
"God gave thee of the dew of heaven."
Thus the Israelites had at their disposal a machine, called by their priests Othiq Yomin
("The Transportable One of the Tanks") which fed them with manna - food. Wolfram von
Eschenbach says exactly the same thing about the Grail:
"Now know ye this also: a hundred squires were summoned, who respectfully took bread
on white linen from the Grail... They said to me, and I say it to you, that it came forth
from the Grail, when ever one of them put out his hand to it... for the Grail was the fruit
of the blessed ones, such a fullness of earthly sweetness, that it was like almost
everything that might come from the Kingdom of Heaven."
Chrtien de Troyes describes it similarly, though with the Christian influences
manifesting itself; he speaks of the bread taken from the Grail as a "host".
The correspondences between Manna Machine and Grail are astonishing: both the Othiq
Yomin and the Grail were able to make "food". Just as the Zohar speaks of the manna as
the food of "the just ones of the world to come", so also is the Grail, in relation to the
nourishment it dispenses, referred to as the "fruit of the blessed ones."
These resembles and parallels would have little weight if it was stated in the Parsifal
literature that the Grail was an earthly "object", that is, that it had come from the
workshop of a goldsmith or a stonemason. In fact, the opposite is the case. As already
shown the derivation of the words lapsit exillis can be interpreted as the "stone that came
down from the stars". This translation would be a very appropriate description for the
Manna Machine, which was probably the product of an extraterrestrial technology.
Wolfram von Eschenbach gives us an even more impressive piece of evidence which is
absolutely astonishing. This is what he wrote at the beginning of the 13th Century about
the origin of the Grail:
"Once upon a time it brought a troop, which flew back to the high stars, because their
innocence drew them homewards."
With this, Wolfram von Eschenbach excluded any other possible interpretation: there
were beings - a whole troop of them - who once brought the Grail to Earth, before they
returned to their home stars.
We can now form these preliminary observations:
1. Manna Machine and Grail produced the same food.
2. Manna Machine and Grail had similar or identical properties attributed to them quite
independently from each other.
3. Manna Machine and Grail are of artificial, extraterrestrial origin.
Thus we can justify the conclusion that the Manna Machine and the Grail were clearly
identical; these are simply different names for the same object.
There now arises the question as to how the tradition of the Manna Machine came to be
incorporated into the saga-epics of the middle ages. We would like to make it clear once
again that all trace of the machine was lost in the year 587 BC, when Jeremiah hid it at
Mount Nebo. But, in the Jewish world memories of it persisted.

Euphrates river in Iraq. This was discovered in 1912. The town was founded in about 312
BC and abandoned in 272 AD. This mural is said to show the Ark of the Covenant being
carried on a cart. The Ark is described in the Bible as a rectangular wooden box, but here
it is shown as a tall cylindrical object with a rounded top, like the manna machine, and
covered in drapes"

Shekhina
In the course of our research, we came across the remarkable Jewish concept of the
Shekhina, which appears particularly often in the Talmud, a work which was compiled in
early post-biblical times, about 200 AD. It comprises a body of teaching in the realm of
legends, parables, sayings and prayers.
The concept of the Shekhina, as it occurs in the Talmud, means literally "that which
descends", a "dwelling" or a "resting place". It is a difficult concept, and its significance
changed in the course of time, but originally it meant nothing other than "God's presence
among men", that is, his bodily presence. On this subject the theologian, A. Hauck,
wrote: "Thus we have in the Shekhina a cover-name or nickname for God, which stands
for God himself, but brings him nearer to human consciousness through his actual
presence in the world."
Also according to Hauck: "The Shekhina accompanied the people of Israel everywhere
that the Tabernacle was erected, until it finally after a long time found its resting-place in
the Temple erected by David and Solomon."
As already noted, Shekhina denotes also God's "dwelling" among his people. Again, this
dwelling relates to the interior of the Ark of the Covenant, as we can assume from
Exodus 25:
"And you shall make for me a holy place, that I may dwell among you."
It could hardly be the intention of the compilers of the Pentateuch to give the impression
that almighty God could be imprisoned within the Ark of the Covenant. So, whatever was
inside the Ark was certainly not the creator of the universe, but some material object. On
this point Hauck writes: "When Aaron performed the Temple service, the Shekhina rested
on its hands. According to a legend, Simon the Righteous saw the Shekhina with his own
eyes on his annual entry into the Holy of Holies."
It is most interesting that the term most used is "the face of the Shekhina". This tends to
confirm the suggestion that the Shekhina and the Manna Machine were identical. Further
confirmation comes from Hauck when he writes: "Sometimes the Shekhina itself is called
the image."
Finally, these forms of speech are used to denote the Shekhina in a material sense: to
receive the face of the Shekhina; to refresh oneself in the brilliance of the Shekhina;
anyone who receives the face of the Shekhina experiences here on Earth a foretaste of
eternal bliss.
We can summarize the Shekhina as follows:
1. It is not identical with God, though like the Othiq Yomin it is venerated in the same

way as God, though not to be identified with Him. 2. The Shekhina is located in the Ark
of the Covenant. 3. The Shekhina is a physical object which can be seen and handled. 4.
It accompanies the people of Israel through the wilderness and is to be found with the
other equipment in Solomon's Temple. 5. One can "receive" the Shekhina and "refresh
oneself" with it.
In our opinion, all these characteristics belong to but one single object in Jewish history:
to the Manna Machine! Only the machine prossesses all these properties, and only the
machine can be meant by the term "Shekhina".
Is there a connection with the Holy Grail? The Jewish theologian Scholem writes about
the Hebrew book of Bahir: "The Shekhina is not only the handsome vessel, it is also
referred to in several places in the book Bahir itself as the precious stone or the pearl.
Note that the phrase "handsome vessel" is identical to that used earlier to describe the
Grail.
With this we can now make a connection. The Manna Machine, known in the Jewish
secret tradition as Othiq Yomin (the Ancient of Days, or the "Transportable One of the
Tanks"), becomes the Shekhina in the official Hebrew literature, and then the Holy Grail
in the high middle ages. H. Kolb, writing in 1963, states: "The name grail appears to be a
secret name for the Hebrew Shekhina".

"Another painting from Dura-Europos:shows the Tabernacle, the tent in which the Ark
was supposedly kept, with an object inside it. Here again, instead of a rectangular
wooden box we see a quite different object, the vague outline of which is similar to the
manna machine reconstruction. However, two spherical objects are prominent on the
lower part of this object, astonishingly similar to the two manna storage tanks manna
machine, its 'testicles'..
"According to the archaeologists, these round objects are ritual vessels standing on their
edges; we say: bollocks! The artist seems to be hinting that he knows the secrets."
- George T. Sassoon
There is yet another trail which could lead us to the clearing up of the mystery of the grail
tradition, which we shall now follow.
Flegetanis
Let us examine the origin of the Parsifal tradition. Robert de Boron and Chrtien de
Troyes, the French authors, state that they obtained their information from a "great book",
in which "the sublime mysteries which are named after the grail are described". Wolfram
von Eschenbach is the most explicit about this book. He says:
"Kyot, the well-known master, found at Toledo discarded (buried) in heathen script the
original edition of the adventure. The meaning of the alphabet used in the work he had
first to learn, also the black art (secret teaching). It helped that he was baptized, otherwise
this tale would still be unknown today. No heathen cunning would help us to tell of the
like of the grail, how one penetrates its mysteries."
Toledo, then, is to be the key-point four our further investigations. If we look at medieval
Spain, we see that the Iberian peninsula had been occupied for a long time by the
Moslems, and Toledo was in fact the scientific center of the Islamic world. It was there
that the authenticator of Wolfram von Eschenbach's tale found a manuscript, possibly in

Arabic, which contained the grail tradition. Writing of the original author of the text,
Wolfram von Eschenbach states:
"A heathen, Flegetanis, once famous for his arts, with great knowledge of nature (a
physicist?) born on his mother's side of Solomon (the tribe of Solomon), of Israelitic race.
He wrote of the adventure of the grail. On his father's side he was a heathen, Flegetanis,
who worshipped a calf, as if it was his God. He said, it was a thing called the grail."
Whole generations of scholars have puzzled over the question of who can have been
meant here, because Moslems do not worship idols. But in fact there was at the time of
Solomon a man to whom the above description applies exactly. The first book of Kings
contains much information about him. On his mother's side he stemmed from the Jewish
tribe of Naphtali, but his father was a Phoenician who worshipped the god, Baal, in the
form of a calf. He was, the Bible says, "full of wisdom, understanding and knowledge".
His name: Hiram-Abiff. His position: adviser, architect and astrologer of the King of
Tyre. His life's work: the building of King Solomon's Temple!
Sometimes there are remarkable chance coincidences, but we can no longer believe that
this is one. Hiram-Abiff, as the builder in particular of the Holy of Holies of the House of
God, was the one and only outsider who must have known what it was all about. As a
member of a sea-going race, which traveled all over the known world, a wise man, a
scholar, and an astronomer, he would hardly have been satisfied to build a gigantic
Temple simply to house an "empty box". Jewish tradition also confirms the assumption
that he knew what was going on, for according to them he was murdered after the
building work was completed. However, it seems that he was nevertheless able to send a
report about the Othiq Yomin to his lord, the Phoenician King, and in this way it passed
into the later Moslem world, and after the conquest of Spain it came to Toledo.

Knights Templar
So what happened next? Unfortunately Wolfram von Eschenbach gives us no dates for
his authenticator, Kyot, so we must try a different route. In the legend the Grail is
guarded by a so-called "grail knighthood", which Wolfram von Eschenbach refers to as
Templeisen. This name is reminiscent of the monastic knightly Order of the Templars,
and in fact, because of many diverse correspondences, a connection between the two is
generally taken for granted by the community of literary scholars. The Templars were
officially founded in 1128 and dissolved in 1312 by command of the then-reigning
French King, Philip the Fair. The question which now arises is: were the Templars in
possession of the Manna Machine, were they the "guardians of the grail"?
The two principal personalities involved were Hugues, Count of Campagne, and Hugues
de Payens. In 1104 these men set off for their second journey to the Holy Land, but after
only a few months they returned to France, where they formed a connection with the

Cistercian Order, whose monks thereupon set about a long-term study of the Old Hebrew
texts. Jewish rabbis were brought in to help with the translation work - something very
unusual for the time. Then in 1114 Hugues de Champagne made another short visit to
Palestine. As soon as he returned, he presented the Order with the forest of Bar-sur-Aube,
and instigated the foundation there of the Abbey of Clairvaux. This project was taken in
hand by Bernard of Clairvaux, later Saint Bernard, and the translation work was
continued under his direction.
Then in 1119, Hugues de Payens set off for Palestine yet again, with seven trusted
friends. Later Hughues de Campagne joined the group. They called themselves The Poor
Knights of Solomon's Temple, and rightly so, for they took up their quarters right over
the ruins of the House of God built by Hiram-Abiff!
During their eight-year stay, they took part in not one single battle, but instead carried out
excavations in the Temple area and ranged the length of breadth of Palestine. Then,
obviously something decisive happened: two of the Templars returned to France and
reported to Bernard of Clairvaux, who thereupon wrote to the Pope, to the King of France
and then to the other Templars in Jerusalem, who at once left the Holy Land. On their
arrival in France, the Order of the Templars was officially founded, on which occasion,
Bernard wrote in the preamble of the Rules of the Order: "With God's help, the great
work has been accomplished."
What actually happened in those years between 1105 and 1128? When we review the
whole body of evidence, there is only one possible explanation: the Templars did not got
to Palestine to fight, but to search for something particularly important, something
extraordinary, something holy, something which was located in Israel and was found after
years of painstaking search - the Holy Grail, the Manna Machine!
In 1312 at the proceedings brought against the Order of the Templars for its dissolution,
the list of charges against it included:
"That they possessed idols in every province, which were called heads, which had
sometimes three faces, and sometimes a single face.
That in their assemblies, especially in the grand chapters, they venerated the image as a
God, as their savior, and stated that this head could save them.
That the idol had in its eye-sockets carbuncle-eyes, which shone with the brightness of
Heaven, and they believed it was their supreme God. Its skin had half a beard in its face
and the other half in its behind, which was a repugnant thing."
During the inquisition carried out against the members of the Order, not a single example
of the idols was found, although the senior members of the Order did not deny its
existence. In fact, most of them stressed the "beard" of the "image", many mentioned that
the idol (whose name was Baphomet) was "bald-headed", and one stated that it "glittered
like gilded silver".
There is little doubt that the Templars did find the Holy Grail in Jerusalem and brought it
to France where it was venerated as a holy object. During the 200 year history of the
Templars only the leading members of the Order had access to it; they were the real
"Guardians of the Grail". Among the lower ranks, only rumors of an idol were circulated.
Therefore, we can state categorically and without the slightest doubt that the "Holy Grail"
was in fact the "Manna-Machine".
What, then, happened to the Manna Machine? According to a statement from Jean de
Chalon, a Templar, during the night before the country-wide arrests, a convoy of wagons,

loaded with heavy wooden chests, left the Temple in Paris and headed towards the coast.
The question is, where to? It is known that many Templars flew to Scotland and became
the founder of the later freemasons. One of them, Sir Henry Sinclair, started an
expedition to America in 1398, about hundred years before Columbus reached the New
World. There exists impressive proof that Sinclair and his 200 adherents constructed the
mysterious labyrinth of shafts and tunnels under the surface of Oak Island, a tiny island
near Nova Scotia's south shore (New Scotland, Canada) and that they hid the Idol
Baphomet or the Holy Grail or the Manna Machine there. However, our investigations
are continuing.
Tomorrow's grail-seekers will be equipped with metal detectors and Geiger counters. The
work must go on.
"This shows an altar-type stone in a chapel at Lockenhaus Castle in the Burgenland, a
province of Austria along the Hungarian border. The stone was only recently discovered
when parts of the castle were cleared of junk and rubble. It is known that the Knights
Templars used this chapel for a 'Cult-room', and in it there is also a cross with forked
ends to the arms, a symbol used by the later Templars. There is no other Christian
symbolism in the chapel.
"The front of the stone bears what is clearly a simplified image of the manna machine.
We have the hemispherical top, with another hemisphere inside it, and beneath that there
are several other vessels one inside the other, just as described in the Zohar. In the lower
part we have the two manna storage vessels. the 'testicles', also corresponding to the
Zohar description.
"This stone is a very strong indication that the Templars recovered the manna machine
aka Ark of the Covenant from Palestine and brought it to Europe. "

The thrust of this book is as follows:

When the Israelites were wandering in the desert after their exodus from Egypt, they
were fed with the mysterious manna. Much evidence has been found that this food did
not fall from the sky, as the Bible states, but came from a machine, which was kept in a
tent under conditions of great secrecy (The Manna Machine by George Sassoon and
Rodney Dale, London 1979).
When the Israelites entered the promised land, the manna supply ceased. The now
unproductive machine was kept at Shiloh by a clan of priests.
Later, Kings David and Solomon brought the device to Jerusalem and built the Temple to
house it. It remained there until the destruction of the city by the Babylonians in 587 BC,
at which time the priests hid it somewhere and the location was forgotten. Solomon is
said to have given the Ark to his son by the Queen of Sheba, but it is probable that this
was only a wooden box, not the machine which it had been built to contain.
Memories of the machine, however, survived: in the secret Jewish traditions of the book
Zohar, and also in a manuscript attributed to Hiram Abiff, architect of Solomon's Temple.
A copy of the latter manuscript was found in Spain about 1100, and its content was
mingled with Christian material to form the basis of the legend of the Holy Grail.
Meanwhile, St. Bernard of Clairvaux was working on the Zohar material with scholars
from the school of Rashi, the famous rabbi of Troyes.
Authors
The authors of the book, brothers Peter and Johannes Fiebag, standing by the stone at
Lockenhaus.
As a result of their findings, the Knights Templars were formed and sent out to look for
the grail, or manna-machine. It is probable that they found it, or some part of it, which
was brought back to Europe. The Templars venerated the machine as their idol
Baphomet. On the dissolution of the Order in 1307, it disappeared again; there are many
possible locations where it could have been hidden by the Templars (for example Rennesle-Chateau, the valley of Bez, some other secret places in Europe or even the mysterious
Oak Island, Canada). Various groups have tried to find it, notably Himmler's SS, an
organization formed in imitation of the Templars.
This book traces the evolution of the legends surrounding the mysterious device. Its
properties are attributed to the Ark of the Covenant, then later also to the 'shekhina', the
Jewish mystical concept of the physical presence of God, and then to the holy grail. There
are astonishing similarities in the descriptions of these.
The authors conclude that the machine was of extraterrestrial origin, and that it had been
given to the Israelites by the Lord, an extraterrestrial intelligent being, who was later
conflated with the mystical concept of God.
The book also describes the behavior of less-developed peoples of the present day when
they encounter a superior technology. This gives rise to the so-called cargo-cults. The
behavior of the ancient Israelites when confronted with the space people was very similar
to these modern examples. Many contemporary religious practices, both Jewish and
Christian, are attributable to the manna-machine traditions.
The authors of this book have amassed a wealth of historical material, which is of great
value whether or not one agrees with their conclusions.

List of Dates
The following is the list of dates given at the end of the book, which gives a good idea of
its scope and the breadth of material covered. The book is a work of painstaking German
scholarship, at the same time readable and not without humor. It ties together several of
this world's great puzzles: the Ark of the Covenant and the Jewish mystical tradition; the
Holy Grail and the legends attached thereto; the mysterious and sinister Order of the
Knights Templars and their lost treasure; the cult upon which Himmler's SS was founded;
and many others.
The Fiebag brothers put together all the known facts about these mysteries, and arrive at
an astonishing conclusion.
The list of dates and events here does not pretend to be comprehensive. It is merely
intended to give a rough idea of the chequered history or the Grail, or the Mannamachine.
ca. 1250 BC: Exodus of the people of Israel from Egypt. The manna-machine delivered,
then kept in the Ark of the Covenant or the Tabernacle. After the forty years' wandering in
the desert, cessation of production of nourishment and the machine kept in obscurity at

Shiloh.
ca. 1040 BC: Reign of King Samuel and war against the Philistines. Ark and mannamachine taken to battle, lost to the Philistines, but quickly returned to Israel. Thereafter
kept in Baala.
1000-961 BC: Reign of David; end of Philistine wars. Building of Temple started.
Removal of Ark and manna-machine to Jerusalem.
961-926 BC: Reign of Solomon. Temple-building continued and completed with
Phoenician help. Compilation of a report by Hiram Abiff on the manna-machine. Theft of
the Ark by Solomon's son Baisa-Lekhem. Manna-machine remains in the Temple.
926 BC: Israel split into northern and southern kingdoms.
597 BC: First attack on Israel by Babylonians.
587 BC: Second attack by Babylonian armies. The Temple destroyed and Jerusalem razed
to the ground. The prophet Jeremiah succeeds in hiding the manna-machine in the
Abaraim mountains.
200-100 BC: Compilation of the Talmud. Identification of the shekhina with the mannamachine. The mysterious sect of the Essenes seems to have a secret knowledge about the
machine.
711 AD: Muslim invasion of Spain. Cordoba and Toledo become centers of Islamic
culture in Spain.

The Ancient of Days: Deity or Manna Machine?

George Thornycroft Sassoon (30 October 1936 8 March 2006) was an English
scientist, electronic engineer, linguist, translator and author.
Sassoon was the only child of the poet Siegfried Sassoon and Hester Sassoon ne Gatty,
and was born in London in 1936. He was born at a time when his parents' marriage was
already in difficulties. His father wrote playfully to Max Beerbohm in November 1936:
"Will he, I wonder, become Prime Minister, Poet Laureate, Archbishop of Canterbury, or
merely Editor of The Times Literary Supplement? Or Master of The Quorn? Or merely
Squire of Heytesbury?"[1]
In 1947, Sassoon's parents separated, and he thereafter spent much of his childhood with
his mother on the Scottish island of Mull.

He was educated at Greenways Preparatory School at Ashton Gifford (near Heytesbury),

Oundle School and King's College, Cambridge. He was noted for his prodigious
linguistic ability, learning languages which included Serbo-Croat, Hebrew, Aramaic and
Klingon. He investigated extra-terrestrial phenomena and helped his mother to run a
sheep farm on Mull.
After his father died in 1967, Sassoon inherited and occupied his father's large country
house, Heytesbury House at Heytesbury in Wiltshire. He found it much neglected and
worked to restore it, and also battled unsuccessfully to stop a planned new A36 bypass
from going through the park of the house. In these efforts, he sold many of his fathers
papers. After a serious fire at Heytesbury House in the 1990s he moved to a smaller
property in the nearby village of Sutton Veny; but spent part of the year on Mull, where
he had inherited his mother's property Ben Buie on her death in 1973.
Between 1978 and 1980, he published three books, two of which were about his theories
on extraterrestrial visitations, and also spoke at conferences on alien phenomena.
Sassoon married four times - firstly Stephanie Munro, at Inverness in 1955 (dissolved
1961); secondly Marguerite Dicks in 1961 (dissolved 1974); thirdly Susan ChristianHoward in 1975 (dissolved 1982); and lastly Alison Pulvertaft. He has a daughter by his
first marriage and had a daughter and son by his third marriage: Isobel Hannah (19761996) and Thomas Thornycroft (1978-1996), both of whom were killed in a road accident
in Mendip, Somerset.
Sassoon was something of a bon-viveur, well-known among other things for his playing
of the piano-accordion. Among his other interests were cricket, the Antipodes, and
amateur radio - his call-sign was GM3JZK.
He died aged 69 of cancer in Wiltshire[2] in 2006; He is buried on Mull.

I know the Manna Machine is supposed to be am interpretation of the

"person" described in ancient texts, but it sure looks like testicles and a
penis at the bottom of the structure that was created. Does anyone know
where a copy of the translated text can be found that was used to create the
Manna Machine?

the part on AA "the series" about the manna machine is awfully far
fetched. to me i do not believe that recreation whatsoever...just like the
crystal skulls segment. I think those ideas make the AA theorists look like
whack jobs. Sorry but that's how i feel.

Yeah, I thought it was pretty far-fetched, too. But who knows? There is no
such description whatsoever of anything like a machine in the Bible.

hmmmm - was there a manna machine? To me, it seems unlikely
(especially the part about ground up/liquified algae) unless this was some
type of gruel fed to slaves which then, I wouldn't rule out. However, the
manna mentioned in the OT would seem to have orignated more from an
angiosperm (seed with food inside/flys in the wind) type of a plant to me.

according to Sitchin the gods had been around for quite a while by the
time the MM would have come in. and their interpretation of the Zorah fits
in Sitchin way.

The whole story of Moses in the desert and the people wandering for 40
years is pretty strange. There are some details about the beginning of their
wanderings, but not a lot of what happened next. We don't really know if
they walked every day or camped for a few weeks, or even months or
years in one place, and then up and moved to a new locations. It's all very
vague.
I'm keeping an open mind about the manna machine idea. It's a bit far
fetched, but then a lot of what we are told happened to Moses and his
people is pretty outlandish. IT seems plausible, although I can't imagine
eating algae for 40 years -yuck!

Sitchin says that Arbraham stayed in Haraan for years on the way to the

These folks are not understanding that AA's were (are) more advanced, so
why not have a MM more advanced that what we can imagine today?
The whole Moses in the desert thing puzzles me...don't get it!

The strange story about the manna machine is that, right after God turned
His back on Mo', comes along an alien, with all the technology available
to travel through space (and maybe time) and instead of giving Mo's pack
a ride, or at least a GPS, he gives him a machine to produce green algae.
Mo must have been really p........
LOL.
