the Cerne Abbas Giant

Greetings from a rainy and hot Florida

I am researching the Cerne Abbas Giant, you can see it here:

All that you read about the Giant is wrong. Not surprising in a world that still thinks Columbus discovered America. The story concerns the Benedictine and Cistercian monks, and why Henry the VIII, the 16th century King of England and supreme head of the Church of England (following the reformation) issued the order to have the monasteries destroyed and some of the Abbots and various monks put to death.

The Kingýs order was carried out with unusual zeal and showed the hatred that Thomas Cranmer, the Archbishop of Canterbury, had for the Benedictine and Cistercians because they were not Christian. They (like the earlier Templars) were followers of ancient Egyptian monotheism whose Commandments were expressed as "I have not," rather than the Christian, "You (thou) shall not!"

That ancient Egypt was monotheistic (one God, big G) has been systematically suppressed by organized (academic and church) scholarship for hundreds of years.

Why it has been suppressed is easily answered - the Egyptian commandments "I have not,"demonstrates independence -- "You (thou) shall not," demonstrates compliance to the order of the Church and subservience to academia.

By example, when the Church and Philippe IV of France chose to disenfranchise the Templars, they forced them to acknowledge the Church - this meant the change from "I have not," to "You shall not!" Some refused and were put to death, others agreed (but could have easily kept their secret).

As someone who lives near the giant, all I can say is never believe all you find on the internet. As far as I am aware no one knows who first made the giant or why? He is first mention in 18th century but he may be as old as the Roman occupation. He may even have been cut as a joke!
