From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rev. Kevin Massey and his twin brother Keith Massey, Ph.D., born June 15th 1966 in Madison, Wisconsin, are linguists who have have gained particular notoriety as a result of their purported partial decipherment of the Phaistos Disk and their claim that the Kensington Stone contains an authenticating mark of a medieval artifact. Fred Wrixon, in his classic work on linguistic decipherment "Codes, Ciphers and Other Cryptic and Clandestine Communication," suggests that the Massey Twins' work on the Phaistos Disk offers promise of the final decipherment of the artifact, pp 550-551. [1] Keith Massey has published a theory about the cryptic "Mystery Letters" of the Qur'an (the Muqatta'at). Other Massey Twins research has gained attention in the field of religious dialogue. The eminent scholar on inter-religious dialogue, Jacque Waardenburg quotes the Massey Twins' work on ancient religious creeds in his article, "Christians, Muslims, Jews, and Their Religions” .[2]. Kevin Massey was additionally the writer of the National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster[3] guidebook on spiritual care Light Our Way.[4]
