You will find it in John's publications. He has tirelessly searched for 50 years and has much to offer of his knowledge, and as his life allows, will be helping us to solve this mystery. Have you read all of his books...? I know there is a lot of ranting words from Bessler himself throughout about the injustice that he was subjected to..... but there is also a great deal of valuable details. I believe that he shared as much as he could and not give away his treasure and that his words, are a valuable resources as well. Study what we know, ask the right questions and John will help us to connect the dots.Gravitteahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12904100340384577146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4862207778089432835.post-10316783199803413412018-02-05T02:21:18.310+00:002018-02-05T02:21:18.310+00:00Wow 😮, what’s that all about?

I doubt Bessler cared at all for the "everyone else" class. If he did want recognition for his works, it would be with the first two classes.

It is your interpretation. I do not see anything like that.<br />-Second point, if you look at objectively, from that statement, jumping to "the code" idea is far-fetched. Please remember he was trying to sell the wheel, while he was writing the book. Why the hell should he code something? "He required some kind of patent" idea is good argument but are there any other examples of such thing happened in history? If not, then that is again just speculation which doesn't depend on any evidence.<br />-the clear evidence you suggest is most probably just artistic tools (Golden ratio, Fibonacci series etc.) used by Bessler (and most artists) in that century.<br /><br />Let me elaborate something more about "the code" in the images. Look at the Merseburg wheel etching http://www.besslerwheel.com/images/Merseburg_wheel1.jpg. The perspective of the columns (denoted by 4) on the left is obviously different at the top and at the bottom. Is this a message? Is this a code? or a rather simple mistake.yellownoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4862207778089432835.post-1270714879516628392018-02-01T07:06:26.656+00:002018-02-01T07:06:26.656+00:00I understand your rejection of my argument that Be...I understand your rejection of my argument that Bessler accepted the possibility of post humous fame, should he fail to sell his wheel.

Based on all the oddities in them, it is more likely than not that he coded information into his works. Just because we can't figure out the clues is no reason to jump to your conclusion. What we haven't discussed is the type of person Bessler intended to find his secret. Clearly coding was a very guarded secret at that time, only used and understood by secret societies and the highly educated. He may have intended only those types to discover his secret, so it's understandable we struggle to find and interpret the clues.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4862207778089432835.post-42138267767710124982018-01-31T23:26:08.940+00:002018-01-31T23:26:08.940+00:00To Suresh's comment about the shape of each wh...To Suresh's comment about the shape of each wheel component, my best guess is it would look something like a slice of pie, maybe around 72 degrees in angle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4862207778089432835.post-78636966191195774212018-01-31T17:12:10.157+00:002018-01-31T17:12:10.157+00:00Suresh, what we think happened is not relevant.

May be there is, but I couldn't find it. Most probably people refer to this passage in apologia poetica;<br /><br />"Those who are keen to ask questions should ask them of this little book. My deeds will not be revealed prematurely. Should anyone wish to speculate about the truth, let him ponder the rich pageant of words which I now cause to shower down upon him!"<br /><br />I am sorry but this passage doesn't point out any effort for post humus acknowledgement. Bessler is just having fun. Yes, with the poem, he define the wheel in a sarcastic manner, but that is just it.
