Of the elements that have shaped the fates of civilizations, arguably none has been more instrumental than the martial metal, that most stable of elements iron. The Hittites of Asia Minor in the thirteenth century bc seem to have been the first culture to smelt and forge iron systematically, and this gave their armies an edge, quite literally, over their rivals. The militaristic Assyrians mastered the art around the ninth century bc, and no opponent could resist their brutal iron fist for several centuries. 

Some historians date the Iron Age to around 1200 bc, when the Hittite empire was destroyed and its smiths were dispersed, spreading the knowledge of ironworking. But man-made iron artefacts existed before 2500 bc. The Iron Age, along with the earlier Bronze and Stone Ages, is an invention of nineteenth-century archaeologists and of questionable value today. 

The iron thus produced does not appear to he a useful material, however, since it occurs as spongy material mixed with slag and ash. It is only after these impurities have been removed and the iron has been hammered into a solid mass that it becomes useful for the manufacture of weapons, tools, and other implements. This technology apparently first appeared among the Hittites in about 1500 b.c.e., after which it diffused throughout Anatolia and, eventually, other parts of the world. 

Iron, believed to have been introduced on Earth by meteors, was found in Egyptian tombs dating from 3500 B.C.E. The Hittites (in the area known today as Turkey) smelted iron from ore around 1500 B.C.E. From ancient...

In antiquity, natural toxins were exploited to make poison weapons to wage the earliest forms of biological and chemical warfare. A wide range of substances, from toxic plants and venomous insects and reptiles to infectious agents and noxious chemicals, were weaponized in ancient Europe, the Mediterranean, North Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia, India, China, and in the Americas. Evidence for the concept and practice of toxic warfare can be traced back thousands of years. Eor example, cuneiform tablets from about 1200 bc record that the Hittites of Asia Minor deliberately drove plague victims into enemy territory. 

By the time of Rameses 11, circa 1300 b.c., iron was being used by the Mediterranean nations in fashioning weapons of war, and a letter is extant indicating that Rameses applied to the Hittite king for a supply of the metal whether he received it or not we do not know, but iron gradually became more plentiful and the armies of Rameses hi a century later appear to have been equipped with iron weapons, for these are painted blue on the monuments. 

The earliest evidence of human use of iron dates back to about 4000 b.c. and takes the form of iron beads that are thought to have come from meteors striking the earth. The first humans to obtain iron from the ores found in the earth s crust were the Hittite peoples of Asia Minor in the third millennium b.c. The way in which the Hittites made iron weapons was one of the great military secrets of the ancient world. The process became widely known only after the fall of the Hittites around 1200 B.C., leading to the "Iron Age."... 

Yet, our historical background can never be more than informed conjecture based on abundant circumstantial evidence. Considerable Jewish evidence is contained in the Bible and Kabbalah, both of which are deeply mystical and archet5 al. Even these sources have more objective coherence than those of the other major group, the Rosicmcian descendants of the Indo-Hittites. The Rosicrucians prized oral over written tradition and have kept almost no records. The Elizabethan canons of literature are prominent exceptions. 

The establishment of the Israelites has traditionally been a controversial subject for scholars. This book presents a new theory. This is that the unique characteristics of the Israelites arose in the east of Bronze Age Anatolia. Here the two great language groups of the world, the Indo-Hittites and the Afro-Asiatics, were culturally compressed or fused." The outcome was a unique people with interwoven cultures. The Alchemy Key unlocks the door to this Anatolian cultural compression. Inside we find answers to many questions preserved by different groups throughout the millennia. 

This indicates dominance over the sun god Sol, the divine mantra Om or omnific word AUM representing the gods Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva of the Indo-Hittite pantheon, and the Egyptian and Greek gods of On. ...

A Tibetan legend tells of a city to the north of the Gobi Desert in today s Northern China, called Shambhala or the Hidden City of Goodness, founded by Manu the Priest King and Great Lawmaker of the Indo-Hittite Aryans. In his merit or caste system of social stability, Manu °... 

The Indo-Hittite movements came from Asian Homo Sapien (Sapien) domination of the area around the Caspian and Aral Seas. This developed into the crucible of the Indo-Hittite Language Group.Its two primary sub-groups were the Indo-Europeans and the Anatolian group that included the Hittites, Etruscans and Lydians. 

These early Anatolian and Mesopotamian Kurgans worshipped the Indo-Hittite trinity of Mitra, Varuna and Indra. Much later, in 1400BCE, the tough Hurrian Mitanni in Asia Minor still worshipped this same male trinity. 

Ancient histories of the Druids also record the colonization of England by the Indo-Hittite Hyperborean tribe of Albion in the fourth millennium BCE, and later by the Trojans in 1115BCE. The legends of the Franks also claim that the Merovingians descended from the Trojans. 

The Archangel Michael, St George and Minerva Britannia became respectively the patron Angel, Saint and Goddess of God s Countenance in Britain. Not surprisingly, they are also equivalent to the patrons of ancient Israel being Michael the Protector, Moses and the Shekhinah. The commonality of British and Israelite colonization harkens back to a perceived common Indo-Hittite source in Anatolia, which we shall look at in more detail in Chapter 17. 

With Indo-Hittite inspiration, the Semite-Akkadians then circled above Mesopotamia to Damascus. There a group became the well-documented tribe of Abraham. As such, Sharru-Kin foreshadows Abraham, Melchizedek the Priest King of Righteousness in Salem and the Essenes Teacher of Righteousness. We will look at these further in Chapter 5 and Chapter 11.
