Talisman - Sacred Cities, Secret Faith is a book by Graham Hancock and Robert Bauval, published by Penguin UK, 27 May 2004.
The book claims that ancient and important modern buildings were built in specific geographic alignments to act as Talismans. These Talismans hone "astral energy" to protect cities from outside threats. The book compares the geographic layout of monuments built in ancient times to modern buildings in cities such as Paris and London.
Bauval and Hancock’s “historical evidence” for people wanting to build huge Talismans comes from drawing similarities between Egyptian beliefs, especially those of Hermes Trismegistus, and Gnostic Christians in Europe. The authors’ research many unsuccessful revolts across Europe against the Catholic Church and claim that these revolts were led by “Good Christians” who are later revealed in the book as “Freemasons”. The authors state that this group finally succeeded in their goal through the French and American Revolutions.
Once they had obtained power, the Freemasons then proceeded to build monuments and buildings in a particular geographic pattern in order to exploit “star energy” to protect their cities.
The authors conclude the book by claiming that the so-called “War on Terrorism” is nothing more than a continuation of an ancient battle between the Monotheistic Literalist Christian/Muslim religions and the Gnostic religions. They also claim that the Twin Towers are a part of a large Talisman in the USA. The Towers were not destroyed for economic and political reasons, but for spiritual reasons – Al Qaeda was attempting to destroy one part of a Freemason Talisman.
