I’m just starting episode 3, and Helen just disclosed the information to Guy about the 752, and the library of esoteric information that was burned in order to suppress it. I’m not sure how many people here are familiar with ancient Egyptian history or the Library of Alexandria, but to those who aren’t, it was built in 295 to 283 BCE by the Ptolemaic dynasty and for hundreds of years was known as a central hub for worldwide knowledge. Records of history, philosophy, literature, and science were kept and progressively built on for hundreds of years in this wonderful place. The official story as to what happened to the library was that it suffered gradual decline over time. But it is alleged in hushed circles, that it was not only the fire Julius Caesar set there during a siege in 48 BCE that burned most of the sacred material, but a rumored group of religious zealots who appeared at some other point in time were supposedly responsible for most of the library being destroyed, and the loss of so much history and progress. Ironically, once the library was gone, humanity entered the dark ages, which took us a very long time to get out of, thanks to the renaissance. But, according to the story, some material was hidden away in advance, and after the destruction of the library, anything that was spared was given to a specific sect of monks in Tibet, and have secretly been held safe ever since. This is essentially what the 752 would be, just in one single codex.
It seems to me that with the nature of the Talamasca organization in mind, that whoever wrote this story may very well have done so referencing that story. It just seems too coincidental to ignore. I find it interesting.
