So it is that the story of Anne Boleyn and her influence over the sweeping changes in 16th century is not the story of Anne Boleyn so much as it’s the story of Henry VIII and how he used Anne to get what he wanted.

-- Anne Boleyn was used to create a rift with the Church of Rome

-- Thomas Cranmer, widened the rift as the Archbishop of Canterbury

-- England and Wales was purged of the Cistercian Monks, their libraries, their Egyptian religion, and the ghouls that represented freedom of action and thought

-- Then Henry VIII stepped forward with himself as the supreme religious figure head of the independent Church of England

Anne Boleyn died (by order of her husband Henry VIII) on the greens of the Great Hall of the Tower of London on the morning of May 19, 1536. This was barely three years from the time she became Queen of England

What went wrong?

Anne Boleyn held interest in religious reform in her own right. Interest it is said that Henry didn’t share. And while history cloaks the events in uncertainties it stands that her actions cost Anne her live!

At the same time the activities of the Cistercian monks was going to cost them theirs, and the role of the ghouls in representing freedom of action and thought, cost them "theirs!"

It might be said that the years, 1533 to 1539, were among the most fateful in the history of the English people.

A very sad situation
or
A revolting development!

I agree!

There is a concerted effort to conceal the early Egyptian presence in the UK (and elsewhere for that matter). But their presence is so pervasive throughout the UK that it amounts to denial rather than it not having been discovered by scientists and/or historians.

It was a source of great aggravation to both Henry VIII (early 1600's) and Thomas Cranmer, the Archbishop of Canterbury, as it stood in the way of Henry's quest to unify the UK under a single church where-over he presided.

Today the denial is less easily justified

.It all starts with the ghouls. Throughout all of Europe and the UK one finds figurine remnants of medieval times; some chiseled in wood, others sculpted on the corbels and walls of churches, some on doorways of homes and buildings, in cemeteries, and along the roadside.

To the casual eye they are look-a likes, but in reality the various genre are as unique one from another as fish from birds. The sheelanagigs are gender specific, and some say rude (note 1). Others called green men are shrouded in sprouting vines symbolic of the renewal of life (note 2).

But those of deeper interest are the ghouls sculpted on the corbels of monasteries and Romanesque churches, for they alone will tell us what history has not: why Henry VIII, sought to divorce his first wife Catherine of Aragon and marry Anne Boleyn; and why Anne Boleyn was imprisoned where she died just three years after her marriage.
