Rods of Ra - Technologies of Ancient Egypt

F.A.Q.

Rods of Ra - Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What do conventional Egyptologists and archeologists have to say about the Rods?
A: When asked, most "experts" have stated that they never really noticed what was being held in the hands of hundreds of these statues, but in their opinion, were probably "scrolls" of some sort. This explanation is total nonsense for a number of reasons:

The Egyptian statues and carvings have incredible detail, yet upon close inspection, it is obvious the the objects held in the hands bear no resemblance to scrolls.
Actual "Rods" belonging to Egyptian royalty have been found and examined, such as those of Pharaoh Pepi II shown to the right. The results of close examination revealed that the "Rods" were constructed of copper and zinc and contained a variety of materials that could be substituted based on the intended use of the owner. Some of the common materials used in the "Rods" were coal or charcoal, lodestone, magnetite, quartz crystal, ferromagnetic material, and meteorite or iron "Magness". Scrolls . . . Pa-leaze . . . Hellooo . . .!?!
Writings and historical texts (reproduced below) transcribed from several oral traditions have been located and translated which detail the construction, fillings, and use of the Rods. These texts clearly indicate that the purpose of the Rods is a combination of energy, frequency, magnetic, meditative, and sympathetic vibratory exercises for the purpose of positive energy balancing, alignment, self-perfection, and the restoration of normal form and function of the body. We also believe that the Egyptians used the Rods as a catalyst while performing a ritual of "Solar Healing" or "Sun Gazing". You can read more about the practice of sun gazing HERE. This becomes an obvious conclusion as you study the position and direction of the statues and figures.

Q: Are there other Egyptian Rods being sold?
A: Yes. A number of different companies have been researching and producing Egyptian Rods or Wands over the years. This has led to a dispute between the Kovtun Company (the original Russian Rod manufacturer) who produce "Egyptian Healing Rods" and Dr. Valery Uvarov who produces the "Wands of Horus". You can read about this dispute HERE.

Q: Once purchased, can the Rods be returned?
A: No. Due to the energetic nature of the product, there are no returns accepted.

Q: I have seen other companies who market Egyptian Cylinders or Wands who also sell magnetic insoles for shoes and copper patches. What about these?
A: Again, there exists no historical documentation that the ancient Egyptians wore magnetic "insoles" in their sandals or utilized copper patches while using the Rods.

Q: What is the difference between the "Rods of Ra and other rods or wands being marketed?
A: All manufacturers and researchers have their own focus and ideas. Other cylinders or wands being sold today are permanently sealed and are made from hollow tubing material. We believe that available evidence indicates that the original Egyptian Rods were constructed of solid metal and were capable of being opened in order to change the fillings based on the intention of the user or owner. Here are the the most important reasons why we believe the Rods of Ra are vastly superior to other Egyptian cylinder or wand products:

Material: Rods of Ra are precisely machined out of SOLID copper and SOLID zinc bar stock! This is the most expensive form of the material available and the most costly method of machining and construction. The solid bar stock has a distinct "ring" and "resonance" which common hollow tubing does not. Other manufacturers use hollow copper and zinc TUBING such as would be found at a hardware or building supply store.
Precision: The Rods of Ra feature a threaded cap which fits precisely into the Rod opening, and when screwed on, the seam closure is almost undetectable. Rods of Ra are perfectly machined to exacting specifications and close tolerances.
Purity: Most common copper and zinc tubing is not really pure, but contains other materials such as lead and nickel to create an alloy which is easier to work with in manufacturing and machining. The Rods of Ra use the purest copper and zinc solid bar stock available. The purity if the materials used exceeds 99.9%!
Versatility: Other Egyptian Rods, Wands, and Cylinders have materials permanently sealed inside. Our years of investigation and research indicates that the original Egyptian Rod design could be opened and the contents changed based on the intention, and progress of the user. The Rods of Ra can be easily opened and the fillings changed as desired. The Rods of Ra Set includes all of the most powerful known fillings including pure natural coal, quartz crystals, amethyst crystals, ferrite magness, magnetite, a super powerful cylindrical neodymium magnet, and three additional poly-carbonate vials with caps so you can experiment with your own "custom" fillings including energized water and other liquids. The possibilities are endless!
Bio-Geometry: Rods of Ra incorporate the ancient geometrical equation of the "Golden Section" or "Golden Mean" (shown at right). This sacred geometric ratio seems to have a beneficial effect on living organisms, which is not surprising given the fact that all growth in nature seems to follow this amazing and beautiful pattern of regeneration. The resulting number, 1.6180339... is incorporated into the design of the Rods of Ra, where the outer diameter of the Rod is 1.618 of the diameter of the inner chamber.
Energy: The flow of energy is vastly increased in proportion to the solidity and purity of the materials used. The Rods of Ra, being constructed out of solid metal of the purest quality available, allow for the most conductive current and energy path.
Historical Accuracy: The Rods of Ra are manufactured in precise accordance with known historical records and documentation which have been reproduced on this page for your information. We have made every attempt to reverse engineer the original technology, and then to make improvements made possible by modern and current metallurgy and machining methods and practices.

Q: What historical documentation exists regarding the use of these Rods throughout history?
A: Besides the discovery of actual sets of Rods belonging to various Egyptian elite (see photo of the Rods of Pharaoh Pepi II on the "What Are Rods Of Ra?" page), the primary documentation is the curious manuscript by Count Stefan Colonna Walewski entitled "A System Of Caucasian Yoga" (The Falcon's Wing Press, Indian Hills, Colorado, 1955). This rare manuscript reveals secret doctrines of an esoteric Caucasian (Caucasus Mountains) society outlining exercises which constitute the "short path" for the development of conscious mastery. Count Walewski learned this material when he contacted a group of learned Caucasian followers of the ancient Persian religion called Magian or Zoroastrian. From them he learned orally, the secret traditions of centuries, still preserved by word of mouth among a small and close knit esoteric group with centers hidden in the vast expanse of the Caucasian peaks which are located between the Black Sea (west) and the Caspian Sea (east) and occupied by Russia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Armenia. The Rods were also known by different names in many cultures such as the Tibetan/Nepalese "Dorje", "Dorge", or "Vajra" (shown above to the left and right). It is interesting to note that Vajra is a Sanskrit equivalent of the Tibetan word Dorje and it carries many meanings such as "Indra’s Thunderbolt", the "Lamas’ Scepter", and the "Diamond Sceptre", all of which are emblems and symbols of supreme, sovereign power!

Reproduced here, are the actual pages from the Walewski manuscript which describe the construction, properties, and use of the Rods:

Q: Other distributors of Egyptian Rods or Wands have said that for the Rods or Wands to be effective, they must be "charged" or "energized" in a pyramid. Is this true?
A: While pyramid energy seems to be a very powerful and largely understood force, there are absolutely NO historical writings, data, diagrams, or other evidence of any kind to indicate that the Egyptians "charged" or "energized" their Rods in a pyramid. The classic text on this subject published in 1955 by Count Stefan Colonn Walewski which outlines the construction and use of the Rods, makes NO mention of such a charging procedure in a pyramid. If any seller of such Rods or Wands makes this claim, you should ask to see what ancient or historical text show that this is the case. No such writings or texts have ever been produced to date. You can see that in the actual Walewski Manuscript above, there is NO mention of charging the Rods in a pyramid.

This tactic may be used by unethical marketers to convince a prospective customer that their product is magically "charged" in a pyramid using a secret proprietary process. When pressed for facts or historical documentation, you will find that none exist. The Rods of Ra operate primarily by the galvanic skin response of the body interacting with the dis-similar metal Rods and their respective fillings, which appears to effect the blood, nervous system, and energetic body in a positive and beneficial way.

Q: Did the ancients really have advanced technology and knowledge of electricity and its effect on the body? In history class, they taught us that ancient Egypt was all about Temples and making bread!
A: Yes, it turns out that the ancients knew much about energy and its effects on the human energy system. There is (was?!?) a little jar sitting in the National Museum in Baghdad known as the "Baghdad Battery" (c. 250 B.C.). Here it is:

This amazing artifact clearly indicates that Count Alassandro Volta DID NOT invent the battery in the 1800's, as we have been told. The Baghdad Battery even contained traces of 60/40 solder as is commonly used in electronics today! The most tantalizing question is, if the Sumarians were constructing batteries in 250 B.C., what were they using them for? You can read more about the Baghdad Battery HERE.

Also, here is the very controversial relief located in the Ancient Egyptian Holy City of Abydos:

When this photograph, known as the "Abydos Helicopter", first came to light a number of years ago, it was immediately debunked by scholars who claimed it had been digitally altered and that no such relief actually existed. The problem was, those scholarly debunking skeptics should have actually visited the temple and looked for themselves. It turns out that the "Abydos Helicopter" relief is very real and has been repeatedly photographed. Another visitor took this photograph:

And yet another visitor took this with his video camera:

While this is not conclusive proof that the ancient Egyptians possessed helicopters, aircraft or submarines, it does however reveal that there is more to the story than we have been told. The important point here is that traditional scholars, when confronted with factual data which did not fit their "Ancient Egyptian Paradigm" of bread making, were unable to see the data as it actually was, and dismissed it as a digitally altered fraud, which turned out NOT to be the case. This is a classic example of "Paradigm Paralysis" as defined by futurist Joel Barker. The bottom line is, when we are asked about the opinions of "experts" or "scholars" regarding these alternative and cutting edge technologies that are out on the borderlands and frontiers of human thought, our answer is: "We don't give a rip!" The people who say something can't be done should get out of the way of those who are already doing it.

Yet another curiosity: does the Tulli Papyrus offer proof of UFOs?

For those unfamiliar with the Tulli papyrus, this is reputedly an ancient text dating back to the reign of Thutmose III that disappeared after the death of its owner, Alberto Tulli, the former director of the Egyptian section of the Vatican museum. A second story which may be closer to the truth recounts how Tulli and his brother, Monsignor Augusto Tulli, discovered the papyrus in a Cairo antique shop in 1934.

Because of its high price tag, Professor Tulli could not afford to purchase the papyrus, but the owner of the shop allowed him to copy the text which was then transcribed from hieratic to hieroglyphics with the help of the Director of the Cairo Museum, Abbot E. Drioton.

Since then it has established itself as the Holy Grail of Ufology. The reason for the huge amount of interest in the text is that the Tulli papyrus is often cited as evidence of UFOs appearing in Egypt around 3,000 years ago.

A translation of the text was made by Boris de Rachewiltz, who is probably best known as the author of ‘An Introduction to Egyptian Art’ and ‘Maxims of the Ancient Egyptians’ - a collaborative effort with Guy Davenport. Rachewiltz’s translation has been widely circulated for years and greeted with equal amounts of cynicism and excitement. What can be said without a shadow of a doubt is that he had the knowledge to undertake the translation, being not only a respected translator of Egyptian texts, but an authority on Greek texts and African Art as well.

Boris de Rachewiltz’s credentials appear to be far more impressive than some sceptics would have people believe. In fact, he authored several specialised publications that are still used by universities today. Without the actual Tulli papyrus itself being rediscovered, it is impossible to verify the accuracy of the translation or the claims made regarding the strange aerial phenomena it records. But there is enough circumstantial evidence to keep the papyrus in the public eye, as at least one person, author R. Cedric Leonard, claims to have uncovered a copy of the original text.

When Egyptologists work on translating ancient texts, it is common practice to copy the document by hand before they commence their work to avoid unnecessary contact with the often fragile papyri. There would be a good chance that any translator working on the original would have taken a copy of the papyrus as standard practice before undertaking the work. Of course, as we’ve already mentioned, it is quite possible that Tulli himself only ever had a copy. It is one such copy that Leonard claims to have found in a U.S. library.

According to many Egyptologists, judging by the style of the language and grammar it uses, the papyrus is either genuine, or has been forged by someone very knowledgeable in hieratic script and vocabulary. The Tulli text also exhibits numerous parallels to other documents of the Thutmoses III era. It would require a considerable amount of skill on the part of the hoaxer to replicate the language and writing style with such precision.

Whether it is a clever hoax or a genuine text, no one can say for sure. Accusatory fingers have inevitably been pointed at Rachewiltz but why would he risk his academic reputation in such a way? If the working copy R.C. Leonard found is what it purports to be, then it certainly lends a huge amount of credence to the authenticity of the Tulli legend and de Racewiltz’s translation.

One of the reasons the Tulli papyrus is so controversial and what makes it so remarkable is that it records a strange aerial phenomena that occurred around 1000BC. Ufologists often cite this as documented proof of a UFO sighting and the translations below certainly make interesting reading.

"In the year 22, in the third month of winter, in the sixth hour of the day, the scribes of the House of Life noticed a circle of fire that was coming from the sky [...] From the mouth it emitted a foul breath. It had no head. Its body was one rod long and one rod wide.¹ It had no voice. And from that the hearts of the scribes became confused and they threw themselves down on their bellies [...] then they reported the thing to the Pharaoh [...] His Majesty ordered [...] has been examined [...] and he was meditating on what had happened, that it was recorded in the scrolls of the House of the Life. Now after some days had passed, these things became more and more numerous in the skies. Their splendour exceeded that of the sun and extended to the limits of the four angles of the sky [...] High and wide in the sky was the position from which these fire circles came and went. The army of the Pharaoh looked on with him in their midst. It was after supper. Then these fire circles ascended higher into the sky and they headed toward the south. Fish and birds then fell from the sky. A marvel never before known since the foundation of their land [...] And Pharaoh caused incense to be brought to make peace with Earth² [...] and what happened was ordered to be written in the Annals of the House of Life so that it be remembered for all time forward."

Notes: 1. One rod, or "rod of cord," equals 100 cubits. (or approximately 46 metres) 2. I.e., the altar sacred to Amon-Ra.

Q: Can the Rods of Ra be used anywhere?
A: Maybe, but the most beneficial and harmonizing method is to use them outdoors in nature. Many researchers prefer to use them while standing on the earth with bare feet during meditation, exercise, tai chi, walking, hiking, and even running. More powerful results seem to be attained by using the Rods of Ra for ten or fifteen minutes in a standing position, with the left foot forward, bare feet in contact with the earth, facing the sun at both sunrise and sunset. The positive effect seems to be amplified when the body is properly hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Also, the benefits seem to be enhanced by adding a small amount of celtic sea salt to the drinking water which appears to increase the electrical conductivity of the body.
