The Passion and Resurrection of the Moorish Hiram

What Is Become Of That Mighty Moorish Empire Whosejudicious Administration Once Directed The Affairs Of The World And The Sevenseas? That Sovereign Governance That Reigned Supreme For Over A Thousand YearsWhose Genius And Perspicuity Ushered A Somnambulistic Medieval Europe Throughthe Precipitous Shadows Of Dark Ages Into The Illumined Twilight Of Therenaissance? Little Now Is Remembered Of Her Monumental Cultural Achievementsand Vast Erudition. How Could Such A Magnificent Legacy Vanish So ThoroughlyAlmost Without A Vestige? It Appears That Someone Has Taken Great Pains Tosystematically Obliterate Our Chronicles From The Hallowed Memoirs Of Classicalwestern Civilization? So We Began This Serious Inquisition. Why Are Theprolific Records Of The Contributions Of Our Dusky Ancestors Relegated Tovirtual Obscurity? Why The Cumbersome Shroud Of Secrecy? Initially Everyinquiry Into Our Mysterious Past Seemed To Lead To A Cul-De-Sac. Soon Almost Everywherewe Began To Detect An Odor Of Villainy. So We Intensified Our Efforts Andcommenced Excavations Wherever We Caught A Whiff. Alas Beneath Layers Of Metaphor And Crypticarcheological Equivocation We Discovered In The Shallow Graves Of Westernacademia Fertile Remains Of Our Beloved Moorish Ancestors The Ancientmaster-Builders Of World Civilization! How Wonderfully Ironic That The Adversary In Hishysterical Attempt To Suppress And Mask The Truth Our Glorious HeritageUnwittingly Scattered About Such Valuable Forensic Traces. Our Exertions Have Actuallybeen Rendered Easier Thanks To The Fastidious Efforts Of Our Antagonists. AlasThis Is The Aquarian Age. The Auspicious Season Had Dawned And The Resurrectionof The Moorish Hiram Is Become A Manifest Inevitability. Already The Ancestorsare Speaking Unto And Through Us Words Of Power. They Whisper Of Alchemy Oflost Hermetic Sciences Of Mystical Words Possessing The Puissance Of Restoringthe Sick And Even Raising The Dead! Amen Al-Azar El
