Chapter 13
It was an axiom of conspiracies that someone or something else always pulled the strings of willing or ignorant puppets. After his revival from cyrosleep, Lakesh expended many years tracing those filaments back through convoluted and manufactured histories to the puppet masters themselves. Even then he realized one man couldn't hope to penetrate a conspiracy of secrecy that had been maintained for twenty thousand years or more.
Lakesh at first believed the puppet strings would terminate with the entities known as Archons, but he was forced to reassess that opinion, particularly when delving into secret government files. The biological studies performed back when the Archons were referred to as Pan Terrestrial Entities were frustratingly incomplete.
At first, the so-called Archons were classified as EBEs, Extraterrestrial Biological Entities, but that designation was later amended, since it may have been premature if not erroneous. When everything known about the Archons was distilled was down to its basic components, all the scientific minds devoted to the subject could agree on only one thingâthey knew very little.
Autopsies performed on bodies recovered in the New Mexico desert in the 1940s proved they were composed of the same basic biological matter as humans, although their blood was of the rare Rh type. Although they were erect-standing bipeds, with disproportionately long arms and oversize craniums, forensic and genetic findings indicated they were descended from an unknown reptilian species.
Lakesh had always found that bit of information fascinating and disquieting at the same time. As much of a student of mythology as physics, he knew that for as long as humanity had kept records, there were legends of a mysterious serpent folk descending from the heavens to participate in the creation of humankind. Cultures as widespread as Sumer, Babylonia, China, Japan and even Central America had myth cycles about these reptilian entities. Serpents or dragons signified divine heritage in many Asian countries.
Known in ancient codices and texts as the Serpent Folk, the Sumerians called them the Annunaki. The Judaic Haggadah described them as standing upright like humans and in height, "equal to the camel." The document mentioned their superior mental gifts, despite their possession of "a visage like a viper."
The Sumerian records referred to Enki and Enlil as being charged with the task of creating a labor force on Earth to mine ore. This they did by a process that to Lakesh seemed suspiciously like genetic manipulation.
For years Lakesh was vexed by the connection between the Archons and the Annunaki. The possibility the Archons originated on another planet was only that, a possibility. Certainly the Archons had never made such a claim, but they never disputed it, either. Nor did they object to having the "Archon" appellation employed to describe then- race.
No clear-cut answers about the Archon Directorate had ever presented themselves. Only its agenda was not open to conjecture. It had been the same for thousands of years. Historically, the Archon Directorate made alliances with certain individuals or governments, who in turn reaped the benefits of power and wealth.
The nuclear apocalypse fit well with Archon strategy.
