Reference tools for William Cooper’s Mystery Babylon series. Each one reorganises the same 42 episodes along a different axis, so a question that would otherwise mean re-reading the whole series can be answered on one page.
Series Timeline
Every dated claim in the series, in chronological order, with a citation to the episode it came from. The series moves through history in the order its source books are read rather than the order events happened; this puts the claimed history back into one line, from a claimed 4000 BC start to the predictions Cooper made for the year 2000 and beyond. It also carries the full broadcast chronology, all 42 episodes with their original WWCR air dates.
Lineage Chart
The chain of transmission the series argues for, set out link by link: ancient sun worship through the Mystery Schools, Gnosticism, the Assassins, the Templars, Freemasonry, the Illuminati and the Rose Cross Order to Skull and Bones and the twentieth century. Each link lists the episodes that establish it and the position of mainstream scholarship on it.
Source Map
Every book Cooper read on air, mapped to the episodes that use it, with author, year, copyright status and where to find it. The series is structurally a reading series, so this is the fastest way to see which handful of texts the argument actually rests on, and which of them can be checked in full in the public domain.
