The original discovery of this "alternative form of time"  came from the Jeton's of Louis the 14th while cruising Ebay a number of years ago. A Jeton is a small coin that the central bankers of Renaissance Europe  used among themselves. They would push them around on something like a checker board to signify either we owe you or you owe us - it was a means to settle accounts. This is where we get the word "Jet" from, meaning to push.
   There was a very simple code on a number of Louis coins that piqued my curiosity which ultimately mushroomed into one of the biggest discoveries in history. From the French Renaissance to the coins of classical Greece, the hunt was starting to snowball.
   A numismatist is a person that studies coins, an ancient numismatist studies or collects ancient coins. All this may seem rather bland, maybe even boring - not so, these musty dusty old coins hold a treasure far above their current trading value - and the kicker -it's relevant now.
