Lion, Tiger, Bear | 205 bloodthirsty madman he was. Western history paints him as great, but he wasnt. Just another conquering psychopath. However.. .before Alexander reached The Gate, he and his forces traveled a circuitous route from Babylon. Along the way he stopped in the city of Susa, and while camped there for weeks he was told by a few elders of a mythical fortress that was built by the ancient ancestors of the Elamites far up into the mountains. This fortress was said to contain all the treasures of the universe one could desire yet only if ones heart was pure enough to understand its spiritual function. The much wider area of Tal-e Khosrow, or todays Yasuj, is the place where Alexander was said to have located the fortress it says here, and this stronghold was said to be manned by the last of the pastoralist Uxians, a mostly peaceful and wise tribe. It is written in most accounts that Alexander refused to pay their traditional fee or Defile for travel through the Persian Gate, and thus put most of them to the sword…or so were told. All other accounts say that the Uxians paid Alexander a yearly tribute of many horses, cattle, and sheep after their costly battle. Pretty expensive, mumbled Bernie. Love sheep, muttered Bea and Alice simultaneously. This text… states that Alexander tried another route to the north to circumvent The Gate, but a splinter group of Uxians stopped him. They survived inside the fortress by holing off the Macedonians with mysterious magical powers and defenses, and eventually even Alexander and his large force could not penetrate the walls no matter how hard they tried, thus finally leaving it and its defenders behind and moving on. Magic is just spiritual technology and science not understood by todays purposefully limited academic understanding. I believe.. .this is the true account, but I find it strange that Alexander and his generals would leave a stronghold of any land in such a strategic place near a major artery. Very strange. The professor skipped ahead in the book and gently unfolded a frayed interior map which nearly covered the desk space available. So, if this mythical fortress does exist, where is it located? Ive found what can only be a Hittite Ley Line map from deep antiquity in this section on geomancy, mounds, pyramids, temples, and subtle earth energies. My colleagues and I believe it was carefully re-copied time and again throughout the millennia as the older texts disintegrated. My best guess is that it represents information from over 9,000 years ago, perhaps even to Prediluvian times. As you can see, the spokes of six major Ley Lines intersect north of the greater Yasuj and Persian Gate area. I do not think that is a coincidence of any stripe.
