About Lapis Exillis

Before the filming for the documentary was even complete, while shooting in Britain, UK government officials were calling press conferences to announce the film-in-progress.  BBC subsequently aired excerpts from that filmed press conference weeks before the documentary’s editing process even began.  
Why all the fuss?  Because on this subject there is no more shocking, revealing or dangerous expose available in the public domain.  That subject includes the mirth and mystery, murder and mayhem resulting from attempts to keep (or reveal) the well-kept secret enveloping the nature of a world traveling artifact sometimes called Lapis Exillis.  
Turning fiction into fact, this documentary focuses upon a mysterious cipher engraved on a monument in England; a cipher the likes of Charles Darwin could not crack after a long time trying.  One journalist in a feature article observed that this mysterious artifact to which the Shugborough monument’s code refers, “could change our ideas of how the west was won” (Satya Das, Edmonton Journal).  

Officially, America has a claim upon this artifact, and so does Canada, UK, France, Israel, entire religions including the three of Abraham, and an assortment of other interest groups.  Unofficially, it can be stated that the emergence of this history shifting treasure will impact the course of human events as no other artifact can do or has done.  Even the Sultan of Brunei is linked as it was to his Paris apartment where the enigmatic stone was delivered, in 1923. Archaeologist and brilliant painter Nicholas Roerich called the artifact the Treasure of the World, perhaps because it has a home in Turkish (“Kutsal Kase”), in Sanskrit (“Chinta Mani”), in Hebrew (“Bethel”), and is known by a score of other titles.
