THE TUTANKHAMUN PROPHECIES Maurice Cotterell. Headline, £18.99

Maurice Cotterell, who first made a name for himself in The Mayan Prophecies by looking at the lid of a Mayan tomb through a kaleidoscope and gaining secret knowledge through this, has done it again.
    The Tutankhamun Prophecies - the Sacred Secret of the Mayas, Egyptians and Freemasons has got to be the WORST conspiracy book EVER. It is even funnier than Sacred Virgin, Holy Whore, which claimed that Jesus was a woman, and that takes some beating. Buy it for laughs and you won’t be disappointed.
    He suggests that secret knowledge about solar cycles and reincarnation are concealed in the tombs of both the Mayan Lord Pacal and the Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamun. Both of these were incarnations of ‘Supergods’ (along with Jesus, Buddha and Krishna) and this knowledge survives today within the highest degrees of Freemasonry. I don’t know what he was smoking when he wrote this but it is surely illegal.
    The best bits are about Freemasonry. Apparently, “Out of body experiences and telepathy are the secret weapons of the Thirty-Third Degree Mason” who is “super-human”. I showed this to a friend of mine who is a 33rd Degree Freemason and guess what? I could tell exactly what he was thinking.
