Did you know the real James
Bond 007, was not the creation of author Ian Fleming? In fact we must travel back to 1527 to unravel dark secrets that surround this saga. It is said that Bond borrowed his 007 title from Dr John Dee. The 16th century English secret agent that used the code for his messages to Queen Elizabeth I. The two zeros meant !for your eyes only! Dee signed his letters with two circles symbolising his own two eyes and indicating that he was the secret eyes of the Queen. The two circles are guarded by what may be considered a square root sign or an elongated seven. For Dee, was a sacred cabbalistic and the instigator of M.I. 5. British Intelligence. He was also a visionary of the British Empire; coined the word Britannia and developed a plan for the British Navy. Philosopher to Queen Elizabeth; did her horoscope; determined her coronation date astrologically; she came to visit him on her horse. Had the greatest library in England over 4,000 books. By the early 1580s, Dee was growing dissatisfied with his progress in learning the secrets of nature and with his own lack of influence and recognition. He began to turn towards the supernatural as a means to acquire knowledge. Specifically, he sought to contact angels through the use of a "scryer" or crystal-gazer, who would act as an intermediary between Dee and the angels. A sort Nostradamus if you like. Or, perhaps a candidate for the funny farm? Dee spent his final years in poverty at Mortlake a suburb of London, where he died in late 1608 or early 1609. 007 had returned to 000.
