The First Apple being used by Houdini.

The First Apple was one of the Pieces of Eden, a piece of ancient and technologically advanced equipment created by the First Civilization to control humankind. It was the first numbered among several other Apples.

Owners

History

French Revolution

Napoleon Bonaparte with the Apple.

The first known human possessor of the Apple was Napoleon Bonaparte,[2] a key member of the French Revolution, and a military and political leader of France, who later became Emperor of France under the name Napoleon I.

How he came to possess the Apple, how long he had it, and whether he lost it or gave it away, are all unknown.

Modern Times

The next owner was Harry Houdini, a Hungarian-American magician and escapologist, stunt performer, actor and film producer. He used the Apple to execute stunts that, even to this day, are considered "impossible".[3]

While Houdini officially died from peritonitis from a ruptured appendix, Subject 16's Glyphs suggest that Houdini had been killed by Templar agents (probably J. Gordon Whitehead), so as to take possession of the Apple.[3]

The Apple was then later used in the Kennedy Assassination to cause the "Phantom on the Hill" effect. This effect created the illusion of a second gunman on the grassy knoll of Dealy Plaza in Dallas, Texas. The goal of the "Phantom on the Hill" illusion was to make it more difficult to prosecute Lee Harvey Oswald (a probable Templar sleeper agent)[5] later on, and to disguise the true intentions of the Templar-executed assassination from later investigation.[4]
