Captain Leale Martelli - The Odyssey in the Realms of Time

[TOURIST]

THE MENTOR WHO INSPIRED THE HAND THAT HAS DRAWN THE LINES IS THE SAME AT WEWELSBURG






AND AT THE CHURCH



THE MEASURE OF WIDTH IS THE SAME - THE WAY HOW HAS BEEN EMBED THE MARBLE
ON THE FLOOR IS THE SAME



AT FIRST SIGHT IT DOESN'T APPEAR, BUT THEY HAVE THE SAME DEEP MEANING

- THE LINES WITH THEIR LARGE DRAWING RUN ALL ALONG THE SURFACE OF THE CHURCH LEADING TO THE COMMON SIGNIFICATS AND SITES

[LITTLE DOCTOR]

It is not yet time to talk about the one who comes after me. I can only anticipate that the romitone sent Leale Martelli to Constantinople in the year 1909, with a mandate to save from hanging a Tigràn descendant and bring him to safety in a monastery where Armenians monks "take care" him yet.


Sister Margaret Boero, once deciphered the church floor lines riddle, wanted to find out who was responsible of it. During her research she came across Giovanni Antonio Huygens, the key character in the story and creator of the rebirth of the latest Valle Benedetta. The captain Leale Martelli too had to do with Huygens. Leale In fact, during his research, found the Huygens sacellum, but without the body inside. Leale, unfortunately, never had the time to investigate in more detail to understand where was the body, which instead Margherita Boero was able to do.
When the nun discovered the Huygens sacellum near the garden stone adjacent to villa Huygens (this garden is still present, but the stone structure that reports the same lines present on the the Valle Benedetta church floor, is almost completely covered with unusual vegetation), examined with diligence the whole sarcophagus and was struck by an unusual written in Latin, printed on the upper plaque.
"Antonius Huygens nobils Coloniensis,
it mortem post mortem ante mortem inveniat vitam aeternam suspirans hac in Benedicta Valley ".
The nun wanted to find out the meaning of that phrase and sadly she discovered it. She also noticed that the color of the sacellum was similar to the color of the church lines. The nun ordered her followers to hide the crypt and move the the sarcophagus in a safe place, and better suited for further studies.
But who was Antonio Huygens, and what is his story?...

I have something to add about Huygens and his villa. Next days!

 

[LITTLE DOCTOR]

Giovanni Anthony Huygens, rich German-Dutch banker. He lived in Livorno in the street Borra. During a financial operation for a religious, Don Colombino Bassi, Huygens was informed about the project of the religious regarding the reconstruction of a town (what then it became Valle Benedetta). Besides the religious confided to Huygens a secret that concerned those hills and he conducted him in a clearing where once an ancient abbazzia called Parish of Saint Lucy rose. Huygens, learned the great secret, wanted to buy those earths and to build his villa (villa Huygens still today existing) there.
He also wanted to build a chapel devoted to San Lucy to shutter to hand down the memory of that parish.
Don Colombino Bassi and Antonio Huygens built along the church of the Valle Benedetta (San Gualberto church). Together they continued the search for the great secret that was hidden in the underground of the ancient abbey.

Little Doctor, you have just anticipated what I would have written! That's your story, so it's OK, but I have already promised to write something so... I'm gonna adding something more hot issues... in a story that is already a labyrinth of hot issues!!!

I try to add something more. Huygens Villa was effectively built on the Parish of Saint Lucy, a middle age church that two old woman sold in the past to a Livorno's rich merchant. It's not clear who and when built this Church, but the selling was done around the XIII century (therefore the Church is older).

What about the Saint Lucy's church...

The cult of Saint Lucy it's very old and it has a widespread symbolism. This Saint is related with the light (in Italian Lucy is Lucia, and Lucia is very similar to luce - light). She was also a young girl and it was use during the spreading of the Christian faith to replace Artemis, an ancient Greek deity which was patron of various things (hunting, forests, moon, wilderness...), and in one of its representation hold in the hand a torch... a lighting torch (with fire, not an electric one... it was ancient time!!!)

 

[Mjölnir]

In the Roman mitology Artemis was Diana with more or less the same attributes. Diana, as a word, is related with dies (day, therefore the light of the day opposed to the darkness of the night) and dius / divios (from the light).

 

[Mjölnir]

And the celebration day of Saint Lucy was around the winter solstice...

Her feast once coincided with the winter solstice, before calendar reforms (now it is December 13th), so her feast day has become a Christian festival of light, in order to replace the pagan celebration of the winter solstice.

 

[Mjölnir]

So... a Villa built on an old church related to a saint of the light that is the prosecution on a Christian dress of a famous pagan goddess related to light, wilderness and young women.
