Master of the goats, your stick was a sceptre. You, the chosen one, shepherd of the land. Beside the hill of cognition, you’ll be the designer. Of a new race of heroes created by the sand. Lord of the tide, lord of the tide. The mighty ships you will guide. In the lair of dreams, you have a fosterfather. The king Ethlios, first Elidian’s key. After the kiss of dawn, under the dome of a tree. The ray of the huntress will surround your desire. Lord of the tide, lord of the tide. The mighty ships you will guide. Oh King Endymion, navigator from beyond. An eclipse will darken the skies. A wind of knowledge will breathe. It’s Endymion’s rise. The beautiful son of Calyces. Amazing creation, you are the prince of light. Among the universe, the brightness of the dark. Near the lightning, near Selena’s den. Among the sparkling people, the ancestor of men. You govern the sanctuary of the moon. Guided by the bow, the arrow of the boon. Lord of the tide, lord of the tide. The mighty ships you will guide. Oh King Endymion, navigator from beyond.

Phenomenon 08:19
When the church has dictated its law in the darkness of middle ages. Nobody knew the mystery of space, all was forgotten. Then, in the brightness of a candle, copiers have blackened pages. It was the time of miracle and the moon had spoken. Fortress of the dumb hill. Dwelling of the Selenites. Civilization of new skill. An industry of the night. Fog, fume, a translucent apparition. Lines, craters, a superb world of illusion. Canterbury’s book remembers this event. It calls it the “night of spark”. At the surface of the circle, a flake of light gushing from the dark. The prior of the monks said: “it’s the true proof of god”. But the strange motion had the colour of blood. Fortress of the dumb hill. Dwelling of the Selenites. Civilization of new skill. An industry of the night. Fog, fume, a translucent apparition. Lines, craters, a superb world of illusion. In the same way the discovery of Herschel must be explained. Two years before the French Revolution, the scientist observed a red stain. The change on the silent planet puzzled the community. And the great Gruithuisen spoke of the moon’s entity. Fortress of the dumb hill. Dwelling of the Selenites. Civilization of new skill. An industry of the night.

J.-F.-K.: « I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth ». The fire on earth was extinguished, the fight is over. But the Nazis had the codes, the rudder of adventurers. The rockets were numerous and the knowledge was high. The flag of winners wanted to reach the sky. The moon activity, a pantheon of glory. The domain of glimmer and signs. Out of his cradle, the father of the space elevator. Had prepared the revolution of the twentieth century. But another scientist elected among the losers. Became the brain of the Fort Bliss community. A spotless star, the fortress of mystery. The gate of knowledge and origins. Obsession, the lunar ray surrounds us. Obsession, the lunar ray destroys us. A few years later, the moon was the main mission. The starry banner was obsessed by Diana’s circle. Like a window on the unknown, the moon observation. Gave the answer on the true masters of sparkles. Obsession, the lunar ray surrounds us. Obsession, the lunar ray destroys us.

Eleven 08:12
I know the truth is different, our convictions will collapse. The human must believe, all our theories are real. Inside the universe, not higher than the apes. Our pride is nothing, matter outshines steel. Even on the moon, we are the champions of TV movie. A lure of hope and a trifling flag for trophy. A golden palm and a disk for ceremony. Already the newspapermen are talking about a conspiracy. Our pride is nothing, matter outshines steel. I’m in a cage of metal, the others watching me. I’m in a besieged cell, knowledge surrounds me. Inside the crater of Aristarchus. Where the whiteness is complete. The basement is in a movement. And all the lights could become black. Yes, the earth is round and the moon is dark. And all the lights are marvellous. Yes, the earth is dark and the moon is round. But all the lights are dangerous. Finally it is just the DNA of the man that creates the delusion. The dream of eternity and the dream of immortality. What kind of spirit can accept this superiority? He who speaks like a god or like a demon. I’m in a cage of metal, the others watching me. I’m in a besieged cell, knowledge surrounds me.

The race for space was a question of Pride. A huge ambition to increase the sense of History. Ranger had to mission to observe the best side. A revelation arrived; the moon was full of activity. The Apollo missions used a weird parabola to describe a saucer. Mc Divitt, Lovell and Cernan are they storytellers? NASA know the secret of ancient builders. Structures were high, the knowledge was higher. Behind the ambitions hides an amazing theory. The others are numerous, the others are the key. A lot of sites have been discovered by the human observation. Lunar ground is a perfect place to prepare an invasion. Save us of them, save us of this game. Save us of me, please save me now. Starships were on the heart of the crater. The others refused the space as soldier. Name of the sea of tranquility was poetic. But the water was dangerous, the waves were mystic. Horses of Apollo. Save us of them, save us of me. Maybe all is over, maybe only a disaster. Save us of them, save us of this game. Save us of me, please save me now. Now the future missions are simulated. Like a child on the shore playing with the sand. The US project of a lunar base was changed. Taurus Littrow’s objects had successfully ascended.

The Oath 07:17
Can we imagine that all this adventure is just a fake? A kind of Hollywoodian teaser for a new fiction? No stars in darkness, some dubious shadows as a mistake. Could the human being refuse its own evolution? The complot’s theory is in our roots. We don’t believe in boots. Their prints are so impossible. The landing of the LEM is laughable. Why did we abandon the conquest? The space odyssey makes America the best. It wasn’t a problem of time and money. The scientists have been afraid of an alien supremacy. The complot’s theory is in our roots. We don’t believe in boots. Their prints are so impossible. The landing of the LEM is laughable. Before the harvests of the science, the earth was flat. Pythagoras and Galileo understood the Milky Way. Now people are sceptic and the Russians use the panic. After the last flight of the eagle the others wanted humans to swear. This ground shall not be an isle of experiment, another territory. A future land of desolation for the human Hubris and its activity. For these reasons, now just an orbital station is in the air. The complot’s theory is in our roots. We don’t believe in boots. Their prints are so impossible. The landing of the LEM is laughable.

Land 06:19
Human is strange creature, maybe the most complex entity of the universe. Since the dawn of concrete thinking, mind is high and imagination is a verse. A verse in the book of life where the possibilities of knowledge are found. Life is an odd odyssey with her paradoxes and her unceasing pelagic sounds. An unfathomed beauty that hides a kind of abomination. An astonished diversity with her skies and abysses. Oh land! Formerly, we have made the same error. The wind was soft, the water was so pure. We weren’t any gods, left ours in terror. And life on the earth was no longer. Chang-e 4 project has completely broken the oath on the flag. But it’s another empire, the successors of Xia dynasty. They wanted to choose the lunar glory and a celestial territory. To mark the foam the remembrance of a quest based on a red rag. An unfathomed beauty that hides a kind of abomination. An astonished diversity with her skies and abysses. Oh land! Formerly, we have made the same error. The wind was soft, the water was so pure. We weren’t any gods, left ours in terror. And life on the earth was no longer. Moon should it be a holy grail, a kind of arena of power? We are the builders of the earth, the dumb guardians of the genesis. It’s a question of balance; no one can play with elements without crisis. Now it's time to be reborn, creator want to purify the sinners. Formerly, we have made the same error. The wind was soft, the water was so pure. We weren’t any gods, left ours in terror. And life on the earth was no longer.

Full Moon 08:17
During the Antiquity, Clearchus of Soles said: the moon is a mirror. The Phantasmagorical reflection of the human’s madness? The Greek Mythographer had created a goddess. After the Christian victory, she became a crescent of terror. Odd creatures and madmen were the disciples of the star. The tide and the linen, the plants and the nails. The moon obsession gave the power to the lunar. An incredible world of illusions became a flail. Strange pyramids have been observed in the sky. People saw colours and points or just Russian spies. Maybe our planet is simply a wide lunatic asylum. A mirage where our acts are just a scum. Mountain of Grace, lake of wisdom. Our origins in your kingdom. Appearances, Faces. Some physical places. Obsessions, attraction. Dynamic world of illusions. Wounded by the moon. Instructed by the moon. Driven mad by its power. Rendered impotent.

about

The concept is based on the existence of the Selenite people and the dark side of the moon. It's called Project 11 to recall the Apollo 11 mission (1969), during which man first walked on the moon. This program is NASA's most ambitious project to date. Using the number 11 is also a nod to the Majestic 12 album, which evoked man's extra-terrestrial origins.

The aim is not to describe the mad race to space between the Americans and the Russians during the Cold War (1947-1991), but to use this incredible episode in human history to evoke what really happened on and near the moon during the various Apollo missions (1-17). The testimony of some American astronauts, such as that of John Glenn (1921-2016), will be fundamental in underpinning our theory of the existence of Selenites or lunar aliens:
"When I think back to those glorious days... I was very embarrassed when I was asked questions about things we weren't allowed to answer. When we were asked... are we alone in space? We never gave the real answer, because we'd seen strange things and what we were seeing was obviously coming from... somewhere else. We couldn't talk. Our leaders were very afraid. They were afraid of Star Wars-type fighting, and of panic in the streets if people found out. So we kept quiet, and now we see these things in our nightmares, or maybe in the movies, and some of them are very close to the truth."
