This picture from 1998 Alchemy Catalog,

And this picture from 1999 Alchemy Catalog,

In 1999, Ctalog is not in the \"RD\",
Alchemy from the beginning of 1999 is not in the use of \"RD\"?

Sorry, no idea what \"RD\" means.

All dear:

In Museum & Library, there are two words: \"cryptocrat, Quabbalist\", I want to know what they mean.



They appear in:

C 3300 TUTALCHAMEN BC

The unknown, 4th Century founder and cryptocrat, the all-powerful recondite ruler of the forthcoming, mighty Egyptian Empire.

Around 3,300 B.C a leading Chaldean elder emigrated to the Nile Valley and behind King Menes, became the innominate cardinal influence in the unification of Egypt. The pyramids were erected and the culture flourished; yet this undercover Quabbalist was never to be recorded.

cryptocrat = someone who rules from the shadows/in secret (from Greek kryptos = hidden and kratein = to rule)

Quabbalist = a follower, practitioner of Kabbalah (an ancient Jewish mystical tradition).

From a quick google search:

Cryptocrat - minister in a secret government (cryptocracy).

Quabbalist - person who believes in the esoteric interpretations of the Hebrew Scriptures. It's one of a variation of spellings.
