except one—the phallus; so, remembering that the male body con- sists of 15 parts, 14 were found and one was lost. This numerical- ly synchronises with the 14 points at Rennes-le-Chateau which are contained within the circle, and the one part extending outside of it. Returning to the legend, we find Isis with the body of her hus- band, resurrected but lacking the essential phallus. Furthermore, we should note the persistence of the number 72 and remember that this is the base angle of a pentagonal body triangle. Here, we are probably seeing the Jesus story being enacted thousands of years before the Christian myth was conceived, and we may won- der whether this could be its origin. Even the three-day resurrec- tion time of Jesus conforms to the pentagonal discipline where the three-day period could be seen as 72 hours. It is also highly prob- able that Jesus suffered the same de-phallusing that Osiris did. This subject is covered in more detail in Genisis. More relevant to our enquiry is the god Set, known to the ancient Greeks as the Typhon. Among his contradictory titles we find God of the Deep, God of Time, the Ice God, Lord of the Desert Wastes, God of Volcanos, etc. His colour was red, and, for no reason as yet discov- ered, his number was 56. As confusing as these titles at first appear, they could easily be inter- preted as the varying descriptions of the effect of a celestial impact with the planet Earth—pos- sibly by a huge comet or asteroid. Initially would come the searing heat of the thermonu- clear impact, followed by seismic upheavals, then massive tsunamis thousands of feet high, rushing round the Earth in a matter of hours. In the aftermath, billions of tons of dust would be trapped in the upper atmosphere, blocking out sunlight and causing the inevitable subsequent ice age. Returning to the plight of Osiris, a bizarre solution was suggested whereby a wooden phal- lus could be created to restore the god's sexuali- ty. Logically, however, the pantheon was now reduced to the barren Nepthys, the child Horus, the comely, fertile Isis and the lustful Set. This effectively restricted any further procreation to an Isis/Set union. However, regardless of what we may infer from these legendary interplays, our interest is that Plutarch, in De Iside, clearly states that "...even the Pythagoreans looked upon the Typhon to have been of the rank or order of Demons produced according to them...the even number of 56..." In addition to this, the Anglo-Saxon chronicler Holwerda stated that Set was only in his mother's womb for 224 days (4 x 56), and he also made-reference to Set having torn through the side of his mother's womb. meee The Egyptian tude which lost the international battle for acceptance to the Greenwich Meridian. Its dominant position, together with its coincidental intersections with the geometry, demanded careful evaluation, Already it had two intersections resulting from the analysis of another of the profound geometric figures which we discovered during our investigation. These positions showed two equal divi- sions on the meridian from where it enters the Temple on its northern boundary. We then found that a further four divisions of exactly the same dimension terminated precisely at the point where the Paris Meridian intersects the southern wall of the Temple. Obviously, the measure was critical to the solution and we were already trained to consider linear distances in terms of the sines of angles. The distance was some 82,904 AU (Ancient Units) which, by applying the 100,000 multiple reduc- tion, revealed it to be the sine value of 56 degrees! Thus informed, we measured the chord created by the meridian passing through the circle. It was 331,615 AU, which we quick- ly recognised as four times sine 56 degrees! Finally we found that the perpendicular distance from the chord to the centre of the circle is, once again, 82,904 AU—the sine of 56 degrees! ’ Even the most sober mind would have to reel at this level of precision, but its doctrinal impli- cation$-are’no less staggering. Here was the perfect geometric representation of Set breaking from the womb in four days, as was so clearly described by Holwerda. We recalled that the tomb depicted in Nicolas Poussin's painting, Les Bergers d’Arcadie, had been replicated close to the meridian on the road from Arques to Couiza, and we had noted that it displayed 56 facing-stones. Again, the confir- mations rushed in and Jeft us in no doubt that Poussin was fully cognisant of the Set connec- tions—and as to why we had found other such evidence in his work. | As we have previously stated, the antiquity of fad walls} the circle markers was clearly established, but Goddess, Nut. how could the Paris Meridian be considered to be contemporaneous with them? Initially; one could be misled into assuming that it dated to the construction of the Paris Observatory through which it passes. This would certainly be true in the case of the Greenwich Meridian, but further enquiries revealed that this was not so for the Paris Meridian. In fact, the Paris Observatory was constructed in order to coincide with a previously established meridian of great antiquity—so ancient that the reason for its location is lost in the mists of time. In the light of our discoveries, however, we felt justified in considering that the reason for its position was inexorably linked to the landscape geometry. In Geneset we presented further confirmation of the Egyptian connection where the mathematical analysis of the Great Pyramid, by the Greek grammarian Agatharchides, displays self-evident correspondences with the geometry of Rennes-le-Chateau. Other historical evidence beyond the scope of this article can also be found in the book. Furthermore, a massive Pythagorean triangle projected from the church of Rennes-le-Chateau, with the meridian as the hypotenuse, discloses a precise figure for the plane of the Earth's ecliptic. However, as obvious as this and many other connections THE FRENCH MERIDIAN Finally, we should bear in mind that a meridian is the origin or zero time marker of longitude, and that one of Set's titles was the God of Time. Remarkably, all these references are incorporated into the geometry of Rennes-le-Chateau, and we trust the reader will be as impressed as we were by its ingenuity. Together with the obviously female extended pentagram, gener- ated from the circle of ground features and enclosed in a 43- square-mile rectangular 'Temple’, the Paris Meridian is to be found (see Figure 6).
