It is with emotions difficult to describe that I reveal to you now another discovery at this site-namely, actual oral recordings which are labeled as having been made by Leto II in the voice of his father, Paul Muad'Dib. Which brings me to my fourth point, and this may well be the capstone of our discoveries. We will ask only that you maintain silence while within the storehouse because our engineers and other specialists are still at work there unraveling the mysteries.
Let me address your obvious curiosity by assuring you that we will take you on a brief tour of the storehouse presently. If it is not actually the first, we believe it must be one of the first and embodying the same principles as the first. We believe we are looking at the first Ixian Globe, the no-room from which all such devices evolved. I can see that some of you are as excited by this as we were. What has surprised our engineers, however, is the way this was done with the most rudimentary and truly primitive mechanical skills. It was buried far deeper than myth and the Oral History had led us to expect and it emitted radiation and absorbed radiation to simulate the natural character of its surroundings, a mechanical mimesis which is not surprising of itself. The repository for these journals is an undoubted Ixian artifact of such primitive and yet marvelous construction that it is sure to throw new light on the historical epoch known as "The Scattering." As was to be expected, the storehouse was invisible. Third, and we believe that this is equal in portent to the actual discovery, there is the storehouse itself. The Stolen Journals leave no doubt that this was in fact the method employed by Leto II to record his historical observations. Second, these volumes were printed by an Ixian dictatel of truly ancient make.
No one denies the antiquity of the Guild Key and it, and it alone, translates these volumes. As you all know, The Stolen Journals were deciphered by the Spacing Guild, and the method of the Guild Key was employed to translate these newly discovered volumes. It not only is my pleasure to announce to you this morning our discovery of this marvelous storehouse containing, among other things, a monumental collection of manuscripts inscribed on ridulian crystal paper, but I also take pride in giving you our arguments for the authenticity of our discoveries, to tell you why we believe we have uncovered the original journals of Leto II, the God Emperor.įirst, let me recall to you the historical treasure which we all know by the name of The Stolen Journals, those volumes of known antiquity which over the centuries have been so valuable in helping us to understand our ancestors.
