Ancient Symbols in Modern Architecture

I don't know if there's one thing I know you can control evil. You can lock it up, you can burn it and bury it and pray that it dies, but it never will. It just rests it so well. You can lock your doors and say your prayers at night, but the evil's out there. Maybe, just maybe, it's closer than you may. What secret obsession is shared by King's Pops and Presidents? Templars, Freemasons, and Founding Fathers. Renaissance Masters, Modern Architects, and NASA. What has been encoded in art, architecture, and urban design, spanning the whole of recorded history up to the present time? These are the secrets in plain sight. As a teacher of architects, it was the buildings in Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code, Angels and Demons and the Lost Symbol that started me on a journey of exploration. What I found encoded in these structures was stranger than fiction, and perhaps even more compelling. Friends kept handing me interesting non-fiction, and after a while I felt that each was a clue in some overarching and interconnected mystery. I felt I was seeing no more than the tip of an iceberg. As I investigated further, I unwittingly began an initiation into the ancient mysteries. As I progressively uncovered a body of knowledge, cleverly hidden in plain sight, in the design of important buildings, famous works of art, in long-distance alignments between sacred sites, and in the streets and public spaces of many of the world's great cities. What I have uncovered is a story about monumental works, specifically designed to embody a symbolic program of ancient wisdom. This wisdom relates to core truths about the design or architecture of the universe, best expressed by musical principles, sacred geometry, and number theory. What I am calling the architecture of the universe is closely related to the hermedic philosophies of Pythagoras and Plato. All is number, all is mind, indeed all is consciousness. These ideas originated before the Pharaohs, and the specifics of this ancient science have been passed down through the centuries, by secret groups dedicated to either preserving heretical ideas and dangerous times, or to exploiting the knowledge itself for the acquisition of temporal power. You might be surprised to learn how people living at what historians call the Don of Civilization possess the ability to accurately measure the size of the Earth, and to survey long distances with a precision rivaling GPS satellites. You'll discover how the oldest surviving temples elegantly encode an understanding of Earth moon and sun that is in some ways more advanced than modern science. We'll travel virtually to Giza, Stonehenge, Jerusalem, Rome, Paris, London, Edinburgh, New York, Washington, DC, Winnipeg, and San Francisco searching for answers. In these places I uncover an interconnected system of geometry and symbolism, going back at least to ancient Egypt. We'll find Pythagorean triangles, vesica Pisces, rhombi, pyramids, octagrams, eneagrams, and zodiacs encoded in much of the world's great architecture and urban design. Exposing a secret obsession with ancient symbolism spanning the centuries on up to the present day. Many researchers passed in present have uncovered important clues in this mystery. I've synthesized the work of many other authors, and been fortunate to make my own connections via books, the internet, and the democratizing power of free tools such as Wikipedia, Google Earth, and Sketchup. What I'm about to share with you is an ongoing effort, and I invite your participation. I believe the time is ripe to reveal what has been hidden for so many centuries and bring this body of knowledge to public attention for the benefit of all. After reading the Lost Symbol, I was intrigued with Washington, DC. It's a city overflowing with esoteric symbolism. Doing in from space as we can in Google Earth, let me point out a few landmarks. Here's the White House, Capital Building, Washington Monument, Jefferson Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, and the Pentagon just across the Potomac. Rick Campbell has uncovered much of the underlying geometry of the city on his informative site, DCSimbles.com. DCS is the following diagram in the streets and interconnection of monuments. The geometry consists of a pentagram over a cube, all contained within an overarching pyramid. Each one of these shapes carries a meaning will be exploring. We'll see later in Egypt how the pentagram symbolizes the microcosm, which is everything in the universe, human scale, or smaller. The cube is a recurrent esoteric symbol for the body that will be running into all over the world. I found a pair of three four five triangles between the cube and the pyramid. Turning off the cube layer, you see the rectangles surrounding the White House is also made up of a pair of interlocking triangles. This time with five twelve thirteen proportions. Three four five and five twelve thirteen are the first two Pythagorean triplets. As you'll begin to appreciate Pythagorean knowledge figures prominently into coding this mystery. Where have we seen an unfinished pyramid before? On the back of the dollar bill of course, if we illuminate the DC pyramid with the same all-seeing eye of Providence, we are directed to a specific building. Is this the eye of Providence we are looking at or its older incarnation as the eye of Horace? Either way, what is behind the all-seeing eye of the sun? It's the headquarters of Scottish Free Masonry, which goes by many names, including the Supreme Council, Mother Council of the World, and House of the Temple. This building is loaded with Egyptian symbolism, with a thirteen step unfinished pyramid on top, just like on the dollar bill, and two giant sphinxes flank the entrance out front. The architect John Russell Pope modeled the 1911 building after the mausoleum of Halle Karnassus, now a part of Turkey. As one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, it served as tomb of King Mao Solus, which is where we get the word mausoleum. The House of the Temple correspondingly serves as tomb of Albert Pike, sovereign grand commander, Confederate general, and the most famous free Mason of his times, Pike wrote Morals and Dogma, the handbook formerly given to new members up until 1974, which details the 33 ranks of free Masonry. The House of the Temple is where the climax in the lost symbol takes place. The symbol shows how the elevation was designed to add quadratum, which is Latin for by the square. Add quadratum is a sacred design template, we'll see employed in the district of Columbia itself, and at Shartra Cathedral. The sunburst above the entry is at the center of the square, and the top corner marks the symbolic apex of the unfinished pyramid. The bottom corner presumably marks the crypt where Pike is in third. Scottish free masons are really into the number 33. There are 33 columns in the House of the Temple that are 33 feet high. This is the place where a hardworking initiate can attain the highest 33 degree from the 33 members of the Supreme Council. 33 degree masons are often found in positions of power. Many presidents of the United States were free masons. The grand lodge of Pennsylvania has a permanent exhibit featuring the portrait and signature of each of these presidents with a record of their Masonic careers. It is difficult to verify Masonic membership because some members do not make their involvement a matter of public record. However, each lodge keeps its own records. I find it interesting that George Washington, Harding, Eisenhower, Carter, and the younger Bush all chose to be sworn into the office of the president with the hand on this Masonic Bible dating from 1770. One has to be male and believe in a supreme being to seek membership as a Scottish free Mason. The insists their fraternity is not a religion, although atheists are ineligible for membership. Free Masonry is not a secret society, but members are strongly admonished under pain of death, not to reveal core secrets. Much of what happens inside the house of the temple has been pieced together by outside researchers in recent years. And this has been brought forward in Dan Brown's book The Lost Simple. Members can rise to the 32nd degree through Hardworking Study, but only those selected by the Supreme Council may attain the highest 33rd degree. Richard Hoagland and Mike Bara have dredged up the most interesting connections between the Scottish free Mason's and NASA. Here is Cape Canaveral at Kennedy Space Center. These are the two launch pads where all the Apollo and Space Shuttle missions left Earth. Here is the single runway, runway 33. Of all the vectors they could have chosen for the strip, why did NASA choose 33 degrees west of North? If that seems like circumstantial evidence to you, how about this? Here is astronaut Buzz Aldrin, 33rd degree Mason, on the moon holding the flag of the Supreme Council, which he later brought back to Earth and gave to the Supreme Commander of the House of the Temple. These examples show that the free Mason's and NASA are obsessed with this number. I'm wondering what's so special about 33? Where else does this number appear? Jesus is said to have performed 33 miracles and to have died at age 33. Perhaps this is no coincidence. The Bible says King David, father of the famous Solomon who built the first temple in Jerusalem, rained for 33 years. In the Kabla or Jewish mysticism, there are 10 Sephiroth in the Tree of Life, plus another hidden one called Doth. Adding the 22 paths between Sephiroth brings the total up to the Magic 33. My theory involves the Schumann Resonance. This is the frequency at which the Earth vibrates. Scientists have measured the standing wave at 7.83 hertz with the wavelength equal to the circumference of the Earth. This inaudible low-hum is due to lightning discharges in our conductive ionosphere, causing the planet to actually ring like a bell. If you do this simple calculation, which I've done here in a spreadsheet, you'll see that middle-sea is 33 harmonics, or 32 overtones above the Schumann Resonance. Sound implausible? Think of it this way. Our bodies resonate 33 octaves above the Earth's fundamental vibration. This fits with the ancient hermetic motto, as above, so below. I find it incredible that the UN emblem divides the Earth into 33 sectors. This has to be more than coincidental. The human spinal column appropriately has 33 vertebrae, if you count the fused bones in the lower spine individually. 33 might very well be built into the architecture of the universe. For further confirmation, let's take a look at the great seal of the United States of America, as shown on the back of a $1 bill. Let's start with the obverse side of the great seal. That's the side with the eagle. Most important to our current line of inquiry, let's count the number of feathers on the wings. The left wing has 33 feathers, and the right wing has 32. Could these refer to the 33 harmonics, or 32 overtones just discussed in relation to the human resonance? I think Rick Campbell has correctly decoded the controlling geometry. Three circles with their centers on each other's circumferences form a kind of double vessica pices, if you will. Vessica pices is formed whenever two equally sized circles come together, such that their centers are on each other's circumferences. A star of David emerges from the three circles intersection points. Examining the reverse of the great seal, we find the same controlling geometry. Look at the letters picked out of the modos, anot coptis, and novice orto-saclorum. Never mind right now what these modos signify. The letters at the points of the star of David are a, s, n, o, and m. Re-arranging we get Mason. So to summarize, we've seen how the house of the temple presides over a street pyramid in Washington, D.C. There is a clear, masonic connection to the office of the president, NASA, and the United Nations. The Scottish Freemasons are obsessed with the number 33, which is echoed in the Judeo-Christian tradition, having a resonance both with the human body and the earth. It's no secret that Mason's traced their history back through the night's templear. I was amazed to discover there is an urban village straight across the Potomac from the White House called Rossland. Many researchers believe one of the templear factions fled to Scotland after the infamous raid that destroyed their order. Rossland Chapel in Scotland was the place featured in the Da Vinci code, where Sophie learned she was a direct descendant of Jesus, and where she was reunited with her bloodline. Friday the 13th, October 1307, was the date most of the templear's got arrested, had their considerable assets seized, were interrogated and tortured to death by agents of the French king, acting in cooperation with the Pope. Knowing the connections between the Templars, Rossland Chapel in Scotland, and the Scottish Freemasons made me take a closer look at Rossland Virginia. Rossland has two important features, a dense urban village, and the Marine Corps War Memorial. So I drew a line from the center of the Marine Corps Memorial in Rossland Virginia to the center of Rossland Chapel in Scotland. You've got a love Google Earth. The Great Circle Path passes precisely over the apex of the Eye of Providence, and the entire DC Street pyramid, arguably confirming my line of reasoning. Before we leave Scotland entirely, let's take a detour to Edinburgh. The Royal Mile is Edinburgh's oldest and busiest tourist street. If we measure a line from the facade of Holy Root Abbey built in 1128 by King David I of Scotland, to the circular tower in Edinburgh Castle built by the same king, we find that it measures almost precisely 8 7th of a mile. The Royal Mile referred to an Edinburgh, is therefore the Egyptian Royal Mile by definition. This is a memorable and important unit, because as Richard Heath shows, in his book Sacred Number and the Origins of Civilization, there are exactly 3,456 Egyptian Royal Miles in the polar radius of the Earth. King David built these structures right at the beginning of the night's Templars' existence, shortly after the night's returned from Jerusalem, and the Gothic building explosion began. Could King David I of Scotland have been connected to the knowledge the Templars' Earth from the House of David in Jerusalem? Let's return to Washington, DC, and see how the Royal Mile is encoded there in plain sight. Zooming into the area in front of the Capitol building, many researchers have identified Masonic compasses built into the street plan. The compasses that run along Pennsylvania and Maryland Avenue's point to the White House and the Jefferson Memorial. The spread of the compasses is one royal mile. I might chalk this up to coincidence if it wasn't for the diagram Richard Heath has published in Sacred Number. Heath's diagram is drawn as a grid of equilateral triangles, so every edge measures one royal mile. The Jefferson Memorial, White House, and House of the Temple are centrally located on these nodes. The point of the Pentagon facing the White House is at this node. This is simply too much coincidence to have not been the product of intentional design. I find the ancient flower of life diagram fits perfectly into this grid. The flower of life has been found all over the world, Wikipedia lists the flower of life in 15 countries so far. Here's the flower of life at the Oceirian Temple in Abidos Egypt, which is a minimum of 3300 years old. It's a little known fact that Leonardo DaVinci even studied the flower of life. This is the second depiction of a cube we've seen in D.C. Metrology, the science of measurement, is one of the keys to deciphering secret architecture. Each side of the larger cube spans two triangles, forming an edge length equal to two royal miles. The polar radius of the earth is 1728 times two royal miles. This equals the 3456 royal miles referenced by the Edinboro royal mile. The number 1728 links D.C. with a mythical new Jerusalem described in the Bible. And the city Lyah 4 Square, and the length is as large as the breadth, and he measured the city with the read 12,000 for longs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal. The dimensions of New Jerusalem describe a cube whose volume is 1728 billion for longs. Did you ever wonder why the U.S. and Israel have such a strong bond? D.C. is the New Jerusalem. Here's the 1992 Israeli Supreme Court Building in Jerusalem. Does this pyramid on top containing a window look familiar? It appears to be the eye of Providence, the same symbol found in the streets of D.C. and on the dollar bill. Many researchers have seen the Tree of Life from Jewish mysticism encoded in D.C.'s traffic circles and monuments. However D.C. symbols.com is the only place that shows how the streets and traffic circles match this early depiction of the Portaelusus Tree of Life from 1516. The portal of light version is shaped like an actual tree. Maybe that's where the Tree of Life got its name. Scott circles gently curving streets mimic the shape of the Pythagorean Y. In the secret architecture of our nation's capital, author David Ovesen says, the Pythagorean Y is a vestigial drawing of a path through life in which one is perpetually presented with a choice of symbolic directions. Should one do good or bad? Scott circle is in the position in the Tree of Life known as D.C. the hidden Sephiroth. According to the Kabla, the reason D.C. is depicted as hidden is because humans who remain selfish cannot see it. Only those who orient themselves in the service of others are able to see the light of D.C. in which all 10 Sephiroth are united as one. I think Scott circle exemplifies the secret architecture of D.C. It's plain to see once you have the knowledge but remains hidden to the general public. Most people who know the Tree of Life are more familiar with the Athenacious Kurchar version of 1652 which is arranged in three columns. The Kurchar version is seen here in John Evelyn's plan to rebuild London after the Great Fire of 1666. Both he and Christopher Ren submitted plans based on the Tree of Life, although Ren's wasn't as in your face as Evelyn's. Neither were actually carried out, but it shows you this kind of esoteric symbolism wasn't anything new when D.C. was laid out a century after the Great Fire of London. As you've seen, there is a deep connection to Judaism, both in the Tree of Life and in the Metrology of Richard Heath's larger cube that links Washington D.C. with the mythical New Jerusalem in the Bible. To understand why both the Flower of Life and Tree of Life are in D.C. you need a one-minute visual education in Sacred Geometry. The Flower of Life grows on the Tree of Life. Flower of Life Geometry is based on the 2D reality that six circles fit perfectly around a central seventh shown here with quarters. Flowers eventually bear fruit and with a growth of circles we have the traditional fruit of life diagram containing 13 circles. Connecting the dots reveals Metatron's cube an important diagram in the study of Sacred Geometry. It was named after the biblical figure Enak who was transformed into the Archangel Metatron. Metatron's cube contains the five platonic solids, both in smaller and larger scales, like a fractal. Platonic solids figure prominently in Plato's philosophy after whom they were named. The dots in the interstices encode the pattern of two intersecting Pythagorean to track this is. This is the pattern on the dollar bill, in what is called glory above the eagle's head. Pythagorean swore an oath to the tetractus, which was the most important symbol in their secret worship of number. All of this symbolism is interconnected in a system. Mason studied for years to understand these things and advance through their degrees. Free Masonry is a remnant of an ancient mystery school. Look at how many lucky 13s are on the obverse of the great seal. We've already seen the 13 stars of glory over the eagle's head. In the eagle's claws there are 13 arrows, 13 leaves on the branches hold 13 olives and there are 13 stripes on the shield. Perhaps having 13 colonies was no accident. Curiously the eagle only has nine tail feathers. Everything has a meaning in symbolism. The 13th degree of Scottish remasinary is called the Royal Arch of Solomon. It's about Enak. Descent into a vault, the arch, a triangle of gold, a cube of agate, and the name of God. Enak supposedly excavated nine chambers, think of the tail feathers, underneath the temple mount in Jerusalem, one below the other, each with a supporting arch. In the final chamber he placed a cube of agate, in set with a triangle of gold engraved with the holy name of God. By this sacred geometry, Rick Campbell has shown Enak's cube is in fact Metatron's cube, the triangle within the cube. The name of God shown in Hebrew is called the tetragrammaton, the most sacred for letter word in Judaism. The letters of the tetragrammaton are traditionally shown in the Pythagorean tetraktis, because it encodes the shemham porash, or names of God, which in Jewish mystical tradition corresponds to 72 arrangements of the four holy letters. The practice of assigning numbers to letters is called Ghamatria. Here we see how the letters in Enak's triangle encode the number 72, the number of names of God. When you get deep enough into most religions, you eventually encounter a belief in the sacredness of number. Enak was supposedly transformed into the archangel Metatron when he was 365 years old, his age being an obvious solar reference. Speaking of solar men being elevated to the divine, let's look at the capital building rotunda. This centerpoint of American democracy figured prominently in Dan Brown's the Lost symbol. Investigative mythologist William Henry has interpreted the significance of the capital building as the solemn temple at the heart of America. Looking up through the Oculus and the capital dome, we see Constantino Brumides' huge fresco entitled Apotheosis of George Washington. The word Apotheosis means elevation of a man into God. George Washington is sitting on a rainbow up in the clouds surrounded by 13 maidens, and flanked by the goddess's liberty and victory. Henry has dug up what was probably Brumides' inspiration for depicting Washington writing on a rainbow in front of a stargate. Here is Jesus doing the same. Both are man become God. The fresco at the heart of America clearly elevates Washington into some kind of solar deity. Six allegorical groupings in a hexagonal arrangement tell stories centered on the ancient gods, Mercury, Vulcan, series, Minerva, Neptune, and Columbia. What does all this pagan symbolism have to do with the official history of the United States? Nothing. There are 72 stars surrounding the fresco, recalling the names of God in Jewish mystical tradition. An astronomical take on this number of stars is the fact that it takes 72 years for the earth to process one degree. We'll be learning more about the processional cycle in Rome. Looking deeper, there are several crypto references to the Egyptian goddess ISIS, particularly in the allegory of agriculture. Flora with exposed breast and young America in Liberty Cap stand in front of series goddess of agriculture. A sheath of wheat is often used to depict the goddess of nature, shown here as Virgo. An exposed breast and the Liberty Cap are well-known attributes of ISIS used extensively during the French Revolution. Here the symbols are shown together in Delacros, Liberty guiding the people. The goddess is personified on both sides of the Atlantic, as nature, reason, liberty, freedom, and Columbia are all esoteric references to the Egyptian goddess ISIS. Here's a silver dollar showing liberty with a Liberty cap on a poll. This particular coin happens to be worth well over six figures today. The seal of the U.S. Senate shows the now familiar red cap as well. To top it off, the goddess freedom on the outside of the capital dome, and recently in the middle of the capital visitor center, are yet more depictions of you know who. The architects of the capital are clearly obsessed with the secret worship of ISIS. Following the goddess liberty upward, we see how the entire district of Columbia was originally surveyed by George Washington in 1791. The mile markers are placed ad quadratum, just like the elevation of the house of the temple built more than a century later. This later organic interruption in the lower portion of the square became Alexandria, Virginia. In the ancient world, ISIS had an important temple on the island of Faros, just outside Alexandria Egypt. Faros was the location of the lighthouse of Alexandria, one to the ancient world. The light that shown from it was the Stelomeris, star of the sea, one of the many epithets for ISIS. The highest point in Alexandria, Virginia, has a replica of the ancient lighthouse in the form of the George Washington Masonic National Memorial. George Washington and many of the founding fathers were of course well-known free maisons. Pay special attention to the three cubes forming the body of the lighthouse. We'll see this symbolism again in London and finally decoded in Paris. How is it that we keep finding secret connections to ISIS and ancient Egypt in a country that has no ostensible reason to make this symbolic linkage? Believe it or not, Pennsylvania Avenue is astronomically oriented to the heliocal rising of Sirius. The ancient Egyptians base their calendar on this phenomenon, which is the day when ISIS's star Sirius is visible on the horizon just before sunrise. From the White House in early August, Sirius is visible a few minutes before sunrise, directly behind the Capitol building. From the perspective of the Capitol building, sunset on this same day passes straight down Pennsylvania Avenue and sets over the apex of the pyramid atop the National Post Office. If you overlay a pair of pentagrams over the Capitol building, a couple of interesting things occur. These edges follow Pennsylvania and Maryland Avenue's, an RFK stadium from 1961 is framed perfectly in the crook of the opposing pentagram. I noticed four radiating streets above and below the Capitol building. Then it clicked with the pentagrams and I see what is actually depicted here is the Templar Cross. Can there now be any doubt who is behind the program of symbolism in DC? The Templar's may be long gone, but the Scottish Freemasons remain active today. We'll learn more about the Templars at Chartreau Cathedral and again in London. David Ovison's groundbreaking book, The Secret Architecture of our nation's capital, reveals that DC has more zodiacs than any city in the world, concentrated in what is called the Federal Triangle. The Federal Triangle contains many important governmental structures, including the National Archives, the National Post Office, the departments of justice, and commerce, and so on. Most importantly, Ovison shows how these federal triangle zodiacs draw attention to one constellation in particular, Virgo. Virgo the Virgin is an esoteric representation of ISIS. Ovison's research into Masonic symbolism led him to map the stars Arcturus, Regulus, and Spica to a terrestrial triangle connecting the White House, Capitol Building, and the point where many think the Washington Monument was supposed to be. You see the Washington Monument is shifted slightly to the east, with respect to the White House Jefferson Memorial North South Axis. Some claim this shift was due to the fact that the marked point is on landfill, and the site where the Monument was actually built is on solid ground. In any case, here's that particular stellar arrangement brought down to Earth. We see Virgo over the federal triangle, and Leo over the Capitol Building. 18th century Masonic French astronomer Jerome L'Aland wrote, the Virgin is consecrated to ISIS, just as Leo is consecrated to her husband O Cyrus. So ISIS is linked with the federal triangle, and O Cyrus with the Capitol Building. The Virgin's right hand points to the White House, but her left hand is actually on the Washington Monument. This is very interesting to those who know the ISIS story. Could ISIS beholding O Cyrus's golden palace in the form of the Washington Monument? As the ancient Egyptian story goes, it all started when set became jealous of his brother O Cyrus, who was King of all Egypt, and his girlfriend was the beautiful ISIS. Set then deceived in Kildo Cyrus, cut his body into 14 parts, sealed all but one of them in a coffin and sent it down the Nile. As a final insult, he tossed O Cyrus' penis into the river. His sister consort, ISIS, was at length able to recover and magically reconnect, all of O Cyrus' parts, except for his penis, which was unfortunately eaten by a fish. ISIS fashioned the golden palace, attached it to O Cyrus, and brought him back to life with a song. From this experience, the resurrected O Cyrus became Lord of the Dead. ISIS was impregnated with the golden palace, and their son Horus grew to become God of the Sun. It's the original story of sex and violence, jealousy, incest and pregnancy. The Washington Monument is an obvious phalic symbol. The vesica Pisces paths surrounding the obelisk suggest female genitals. Taking together the symbols represent the joining of O Cyrus and ISIS, and the conception of the Sun God Horus. Now maybe you think I'm going too far at this point, but take a look at what is above the elevator that goes up the shaft of the Washington Monument. The same ride Robert Langdon took at the end of the lost symbol. Right above the elevator doors, there is a bronze sculpture of George Washington, sculpted by French Freemason, who dawned, and above that is the winged disc of Horus. What in the world does this Egyptian solar symbol have to do with America? It's a clue to the secret meaning of the obelisk in the most public of places, but how many actually see it and understand? The dimensions of the monument are all sixes and fivees. What an amazing coincidence that 6,660 inches equals 555 feet. We'll decipher the meaning of sixes and fivees in Egypt. The Washington Monument is not a true obelisk cut from a single piece of stone. Instead, it is both literally and figuratively, a monumental work of Masonry. Bernard I. P. Shes meticulous metrological study of the Washington Monument reveals a sacred diagram projected on the earth. Based on the exact height and angle of the pyramidian, its face and ridge lines project down to the ground and trace circles that are proportioned ad quadratum with respect to each other. The diagram shown here is called the octagram star in mathematics. It's a symbol used in many religions and cultures around the world. I'll briefly trace the octagram star through history to uncover its meaning. The earliest example I've found that has this symmetry is the star of Anana, the Sumerian goddess, whom I think all the ice is obsession is ultimately based on. Archaeologist identify the Sumerian culture as the oldest civilization on earth. Sumeria predated ancient Egypt, but it wasn't even discovered until 1890. So that must be why most esoteric references are to ISIS rather than Anana. I highly recommend reading the collective works of Zechariah's sitian. For an alternative, I'll be at controversial theory on the origins of civilization. But that's another documentary entirely. I've found the octagram star in many other places around the world. The Hindu star of Lakshmi is a pure octagram star. The Egyptian octo ad adds a central cosmic egg to the mix containing the Sun God Raw. The structure of the Celtic calendar resonates with the octagram star. The Nostic Theologian Valentius transformed Egyptian concepts into Christian ones in his second century cosmology featuring the Ploroma or Godhead in the center. The Buddhist wheel of Dharma has this as its symbol, incorporating the eightfold path. Islam uses the rubel hisib as its symbol. Found in the oldest corans as a chapter marker, here it is expressed fractally in Muhammad's tomb in Medina. The eastern Orthodox Church used octagram star symmetry in numerous depictions of Christ Pantacrader and in the Transfiguration. Even the seemingly unrelated Aztec culture produced their calendrical Piedra del Sol having this remarkable symmetry. Finally, the Vatican also encoded this powerful symbol in St. Peter's Square. The ancient Egyptian obelisk at its center is literally a gigantic sundial with stones in the pavement marking the seasons. So the octagram star is resoundingly a solar symbol, appropriately fitting the male obelisk which is the primary reading of the Washington Monument. However, female energy is not entirely neglected in the Washington Monument. We've already seen how a stretched Vesica Pysi symbol surrounds the obelisk. Rick Campbell has brought something even more hidden to light. If you draw Vesica Pysi's to scale, with the circle's diameter is equal to the height of the Washington Monuments 555 feet. The Great Pyramid of Egypt fits perfectly inside the vulva. This is no accident. The architect who designed the Washington Monument must have wanted to secretly link it with the Great Pyramid. The Great Pyramid and the Washington Monument both have fly in their proportions, which is one of the most interesting numbers in mathematics. The last thing I noticed in Washington DC propelled me on a virtual journey around the world. Remember the pair of interlocking triangles surrounding the White House? It struck me that the horseshoe shaped lawn in the White House backyard looked a lot like the blue stone ring at Stonehenge. That got me thinking how these two triangles, together form a 5x12 rectangle. That has the same proportions as the station rectangle at Stonehenge. Following this hunch, I drew a line from the tip of the federal triangle to the center of Stonehenge. Later on, I happened to zoom into New York City when this layer was on, and saw that the alignment perfectly bisex central park. That's probably not an accident, so here we go. The angle that this large scale alignment takes through central park matches the interlocking Pythagorean triangles hypotenuses. For such triangles match central park's proportions of 5-24 precisely. I then wondered what is this unusual aqueduct doing just under the surface of Jacqueline Kennedy onassus reservoir? It seems to mirror the triangles hypotenuse angle. That's certainly odd, but in my research I've learned to follow so-called coincidences wherever they lead. The aqueduct leads us to the metropolitan museum of art. Getting closer still, we see this variation of the Templar flag in the atrium of the Robert Leem in collection. Incidentally, Albrec Durrars, Esoteric Masterpiece, Melancholia I, is in this collection, and will study it in Egypt. In case you're thinking I'm imagining connections where none exist, right outside this room is one of the oldest artifacts in North America, a 3,500 year-old Egyptian obelisk from Heliopolis. Note the octagon surrounding yet another solar symbol. There are only a handful of ancient Egyptian obelisk's left in the world, even counting those still in Egypt. So when I see one I sit up and take notice. This obelisk is the twin of Cleopatra's needle in London. Egyptian temples typically had paired obelisks at their entrances. So the obelisks now in New York and London used to together frame the entrance to a temple in Heliopolis. It was quite a difficult and expensive project in the 19th century, and even today, to transport a 224 tons slab of granite halfway across the planet. Connecting nations with ancient Egypt was apparently a very powerful motivator to the free-masons who bothered moving these obelisks. Overlaying the floor plan, we see what the aqueduct is pointing to. Literally an ancient Egyptian temple within the sacchar wing of the Met. The temple of Dendor had to be removed from its original site in order to save it from being submerged by the construction of the Oswan High Dam. In 1965 the government of Egypt presented the temple as a gift to the United States, which was ceremonially represented by Jacqueline Kennedy O'Nasses. That's quite a coincidence, considering the aqueduct in Jackie's reservoir, led us to the very temple she received. Was the former first lady playing the role of ISIS? While we're in New York, let's take a look at one of the most famous tourist spots in Great As Simples of America, and visit the Statue of Liberty. The authors Graham Hancock and Robert Bevol have researched the Statue of Liberty, and you might be surprised what they have found. French sculptor and well-known free-mason Bartholdy designed the colossal statue originally for the opening of the Suez Canal in 1867. Fellow free-mason Gustav Eifel, who was later made famous for his Parisian tower, was commissioned as the Statues Engineer. It is said Bartholdy modeled the sculpture after the Roman goddess Lebertas. The truth is Lebertas was an echo of the Egyptian goddess ISIS. After Bartholdy's colossus was rejected for the Suez Canal due to financial reasons, he repurposed it as the Statue of Liberty for New York Harbor. It comes as no surprise that the cornerstone for the Statue of Liberty was laid in a Masonic ceremony. Researcher Jim Allison has connected the dots and identified the triangle between Giza, Faros, and the opening of the Suez Canal. The angle of this triangle matches the slope of the Great Pyramid, and looks like the Greek letter Delta, which beautifully echoes the Nile Delta. The Colossus of Rhodes was one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. The giant statue that stood on the island of Rhodes depicted Apollo, God of the Sun, who also wore a crown of seven rays. Seven rays is very interesting in light of the culmination of the initiation ceremony into the Cultivisus. According to 19th century author Edward Schuer, after a successful initiate survived all the harrowing tests, and triamped over death by fire, water, and temptation of the senses, he was led into an inner sanctum, where he looked upon a colossal metal statue of Isis, crowned with a diadem of seven rays. I believe seven is Isis' secret number. Isis' son Horus was God of the Sun, just as Apollo depicted in the Colossus of Rhodes, was God of the Sun to the Greeks. You'll see that the statue of Liberty's base star is quite odd, having 11 points. I think this was done to make the number symbolism in the statue of Liberty fit an important Egyptian structure. The great pyramid of Giza, whose height to base proportion, is 7 to 11, like the famous convenient store's name. And if you didn't get 11 from the base star, the height of the statue from heel to top of head is 111 feet, one inch. So it all fits now. You see how the statue of Liberty secretly depicts the Egyptian goddess Isis. Extending the line of the submerged structure in the reservoir that led us to the temple of Isis, all the way to the East River, we are directed to the United Nations headquarters in Midtown Manhattan. The iconic secretariat's building proportions are based on Phi. As you know, this proportion links the structure with the Washington Monument and the Great Pyramid. Did you know the 69,000 square meter site of UN headquarters is considered international territory, and is technically not a part of New York City? The UN headquarters has its own security force, fire department, and postal administration that even issues its own stamps. The notion of UN headquarters being a city within Isisity reminds me of how the Vatican is also a city within Rome. I like to refer to this as a nested city, or fractal structure. I was fascinated to discover that the Italian government donated an Arnaldo Poma Doro sphere within Sphere sculpture to the UN in 1991. The Golden Ball beautifully represents the concept of Isisity within Isisity. The internal structures seem to me like buildings and streets on the inner surfaces of the spheres. I'm intrigued because I've seen three other similar sculptures in location significant to my research. Poma Doro made a series of six spheres within Sphere scattered around the world. Significants sphere within sphere locations are the Hirschhorn Museum in sculpture garden in D.C., very close to the capital building. The de Young Museum in San Francisco, and in the Vatican's courtyard of the Belvedere will be visiting the latter two locations in due course. The Security Council chamber is the emergency room of the UN, where decisions involving economic sanctions and military action are sometimes made. Notice the Hirsch-U shaped desk surrounding 13 chairs located at a rectangular table in the center. The red chairs flanking the central group are arranged in rows of 13. All these lucky 13s are reminiscent of the many 13s on the great seal of the United States. The mural in the Security Council chamber is by Norwegian artist Perkrog, and it contains some highly interesting symbolism. The left arched panel shows a woman opening a window letting in rays of golden sunlight. The right arched panel shows a man letting a white horse run before the full moon. Sun and moon are symbolized in Masonic lodges by the columns of Boaz on the left and Jekin on the right. Boaz and Jekin originally stood in Solomon's temple in Jerusalem. Boaz symbolizes the sun and Jekin the moon. We'll see the symbolism again in the towers of Sun and Moon at Shartra Cathedral. The Vesica Pisceshape in the center of the mural contains the story of original sin. Young Adam and Eve stand in the background. Lucifer hanging from serpentine vines in the tree of knowledge hands Eve the infamous apple. Years pass and Adam and Eve are shown with arms interlocked closer to the center of the Vesica Pisces. In time their firstborn cane is shown in the foreground at his parents feet. This unmistakable imagery is strange to say the least in a chamber representing all the nations of the world. The mural symbolizing the security of all nations should probably embrace all cultures and religions, but it clearly has a distinctly Judeo-Christian subtext. You have to look closely to perceive it, but there is a faint circle representing the sun surrounding the Vesica Pisces. Tiny flames can be seen emanating from this circle, which carry through four of the mural's panels. Hear this sun or sun emerges from the center of the Vesica Pisces or womb. The bird below the Vesica Pisces is a phoenix, standing over the ashes of its parent. The phoenix is a symbol of transformation and of the cyclical nature of time. Herodidus recorded the fact that this mysterious bird has ancient Egyptian provenance. There is a sacred bird called the phoenix. I have never seen it myself except in pictures, for it is extremely rare, only appearing according to the people of Heliopolis once in 500 years when it is seen after the death of its parent. The beast of war is shown slain in an underground crypt, run through with a sword. The abandoned artillery, machine gun and soldier laying down his rifle show this is the end of the second world war. The UN was chartered at the end of this conflict in 1945 and therefore the war imagery is entirely appropriate. Souls or shades in between life and death literally in monochrome are being helped up from below on both sides of the mural. Shades on the solar left side are tinted gold and shades on the lunar right side are appropriately tinted silver. The original motto of the French Revolution, Liberté, Iagallite, Fortunite or Lamort. Liberté, Equality, Brotherhood, or Death, surprisingly maps to much of the remaining symbolism. Souls being lifted with ropes up into the light are gaining their liberty. The scene in the upper left shows a group of people weighing grain, presumably to distribute it with equality. The party in the two panels surrounding the vesica Pisces illustrates Brotherhood, with all types of people and children happily united holding cyan ribbons and UN flags. Those souls who died in the war are lining up and entering the starry door of death behind the Phoenix. Lamort was later dropped from the Revolutionary motto because it reminded people too much of the reign of terror. The tricolor flag of the French Republic symbolizes the three-term motto, Liberté, Iagallite, Fortunite. The scene in the upper right shows scientists investigating the macrocosm and microcosm with telescope and microscope. The two upper panels hold a political message with the depiction of people painting, planting, designing, playing music, singing, writing and dancing. I think the implication is humanity may enjoy these higher pleasures after war has been transformed like a Phoenix into peace through the agency of the United Nations. The symbolism in the mural contains Judeo-Christian, Masonic, French Revolutionary, and ancient Egyptian imagery that became apparent only under careful analysis. The mural is more than a small decorative element. It dominates the security council chamber. Therefore I think the choice of symbolism embedded in the mural tells us something about the character of the United Nations itself. I find the hidden connections to Mason's and Egypt most provocative. Contemplating the United Nations got me thinking about national symbols. Consider the UN flag as a symbol of nations coming together in peace. As I already mentioned, the map is divided into 33 sectors. It seems appropriate that the Earth is flanked by two all-of-branches symbolizing peace. Each of these branches contains 13 leaves. The UN flag is cyan and color and was created after the UN was chartered in 1945. In 1947 the UN decided to partition Palestine into a Jewish state, an Arab state, and a UN administered Jerusalem. This decision led to a series of wars and ultimately Israel's independence in 1948. The coat of arms of Israel is also cyan and color. It seems appropriate that the menorah is featured because it's been a symbol of Judaism for almost 3,000 years. The menorah is flanked by two 13-leafed all-of-branches symbolizing peace. Another parallel with the UN flag. There are many countries whose flags and coats of arms feature all-of-branches symbolizing peace. However, only the UN emblem and the coats of arms of Israel, the United States, and the U.S. Virgin Islands feature all-of-branches having exactly 13 leaves. The U.S. Virgin Islands coat of arms is a modified version of the great seal of the United States. The flag of the United States of America also features significant numerical symbolism. There are 13 red and white stripes. 50 stars are arranged in nine rows alternating between rows of six and five stars. We'll learn the significance of the nine rows in San Francisco and the alternating rows of six and five stars in Egypt. Picking up the alignment that started at the tip of the federal triangle in DC through New York City Central Park to its endpoint at the center of Stonehenge. We are wondering why would the founding fathers in DC and city planners in New York City conspire to link their fair cities with this ancient temple? The reason is simple. Stonehenge is at the heart of the mystery. Let's take a closer look. The first monument at the site was begun during the Neolithic period, around 3,100 years before the common era, and Stonehenge was completed during the Bronze Age, approximately 4,500 years ago. Here's a reconstruction of Stonehenge phase 3 at its height, showing the Sarsun ring with its stone lentils, huge trilothons, and smaller blue stones. The larger Aubrey Circle is a ring of 56 holes, accommodating four standing station stones. Connecting the station stones, we see what researchers call the Station rectangle. The amazing thing is it has precisely the same five to 12 proportion, as we've already seen in DC in New York City. Now we see where this proportion comes from, as this is surely the oldest known example. The astronomer Gerald Hawkins has shown how the station rectangle encodes specific astronomical phenomena, including cycles of Earth-Moon and Sun, commemorated by important festivals in the Celtic calendar. Stuckly, one of the founders of the field of archaeology in the 18th century, whose great work was studying Stonehenge, claimed that free-masonry was a legacy of the Druids, who in turn got their knowledge from the ancient Egyptians. The seven pointed star in scribe within the Aubrey Circle clearly locates the Sarsun ring and frames the horseshoe of trilothons and blue stones. After identifying seven, as ISIS's secret number in New York City, I'm wondering if this seven-pointed star isn't the star of ISIS. The Egyptian civilization was at its height at the time of Stonehenge's completion, and although we have no archaeological evidence, physically linking the two cultures, it remains an intriguing possibility. Avery and Silberi Hill are a short distance from Stonehenge. Archaeologists say both of these monuments were built at the same time as Stonehenge, approximately 5,000 years ago. The late John Michelle said to be father of the Earth mysteries and surveyor and researcher Robin Heath discovered amazing relationships between all three Neolithic monuments in terms of their precise locations upon the Earth. The base of Silberi Hill is 864,000 feet from the center of Stonehenge. The Sun's diameter is 864,000 miles. The distance from 51 degrees north latitude to the latitude of Stonehenge measures 10.8 Egyptian royal miles. The mean radius of the moon is 1,080 miles. The latitude of Stonehenge is 17.28 miles from the latitude of Avery. We learned in DC how 1728 symbolizes the cube. Avery's latitude is precisely 360 divided by 7 degrees north, dividing a circle into 7 parts yields the star of ISIS. The placement of Stonehenge, Avery, and Silberi Hill encode the numbers of the Sun, Moon, Cube, and Heptogram star. Please measure these things yourself in Google Earth or with other methods. This hard, metrological evidence should completely revise our understanding of prehistory. Early in the 20th century, archaeologists discovered a quarry in the Presley Hills, where the blue stones used in Stonehenge were mined. Approximately 130 miles from Stonehenge. Putting aside the practical issue of how the builders transported these large stones to the building site. Let's focus instead on an even greater mystery. Heath had surveyed the distance from Stonehenge to an island do west in the Bristol channel called Lundy. When Heath told Michelle that the distance from the center of Stonehenge to a small hill called the Tump at the center of Lundy Island was precisely the memorable number 123.4 statue miles. Mitchell recognized the number from his research and then all the pieces quickly fit together. A statue mile is equal to 5,280 English feet and is still used to measure distances on roads in the United States. Michelle and Heath drew a triangle connecting Stonehenge, Lundy, and the Presley mind. Too much matching interlocking triangles form a rectangle that has the same proportions as Stonehenge's Station rectangle. An amazingly is exactly 2500 times larger. This is the greater temple. What is more, the distances in the Lundy rectangle fit ancient Egyptian measure. Robin Heath's brother Richard pointed out in sacred number that 123.4 statue miles is precisely equal to 108 Royal miles, the same unit that we've seen in Edinburgh and DC. This is no arbitrary distance, as 108 Royal miles is one 30 second of the polar radius of the Earth. The architects of Stonehenge must have chosen the building site in relation to an origin point, originally selected at the center of Lundy Island. It's absolutely sublime the way Stonehenge resonates with the whole region and with the planet, as above so below. 108 is a number sacred to many of the world's religions. For example, there are 108 prayer beads in the Holy Rosary. The Rosary is a key devotional path in the Catholic Federation of Mary. The worshipers fingers keep track of the number of Hail Mary prayers they recite by moving along one bead at a time. Hindus, Buddhists and james all use Jopamala prayer necklaces in much the same way as Catholics. Incredibly, Jopamala's are most commonly made with exactly 108 beads. These two are fingered as the devotee chance or repeats mantras. Whether the worshipers is conscious of it or not, the moon is ultimately behind what they are actually venerating in 108 recitations. As I already mentioned, the mean radius of the moon is 1,080 miles. The connection between goddesses and the moon is as old as humanity. Coincidentally, the element silver, which has always been associated with the moon, has an atomic weight of 108 grams per mole. In the last science of measuring the earth, Michelle and Heath show how the English foot was derived from the earth's equatorial circumference. The distance around the equator equals 360,000 times 365.242, with incredible accuracy, of 99.994% the current standard. This means the distance around the equator measured in English feet is the number of days in a year, times the number of degrees in a circle, times 1000. Historians have lost track of when exactly the foot was invented in the midst of time, but you'll usually hear some tired anecdote about some old king's big foot. We can now confidently say that whoever defined the English foot knew the equatorial circumference of the earth, with an accuracy in the thousands of 1%. We only achieved this level of precision in an earth measure in 1995 when the global positioning system, or GPS, became fully operational. Clearly, we are not the first to achieve this level of technological sophistication. The mile is also based on the dimensions of the earth. There are 12 to the 5 divided by 10 miles, and the meridians are conference of the earth. 528 is the resonant key that both defines the statute mile, because 5,280 feet are equal to one mile. And the central frequency of the ancient sulfegio, an ancient musical scale used in religious chanting. Metrology, the science of measurement, is one of the keys to decrypting the ancient mysteries. After all the word geometry, literally means earth measure. And virtually all ancient measurement systems were based upon the dimensions of the earth. As John Neal laid out in his groundbreaking book, All Done with Mirrors, which was subsequently expanded upon and popularized in books by John Michelle and the Heath Brothers, the English foot turns out to be the root of the ancient system, wherein units designed to measure different scales were interrelated by fractional relationships. The way the ancient system used simple fractions is analogous to how the metric system uses powers of 10 to interconnect units used at different scales, such as millimeter, centimeter, kilometer, etc. As if these discoveries weren't enough, John Michelle and Robin Heath stumbled upon yet another amazing find. There is an island just north of Lundy called Colby, where there is a very old priory church built over an ancient Druid men here. This island is located at the 2 to 3 point, along the pressly lundy edge of the figure. Musicians will recognize this proportion as the fifth, the most fundamental interval in music. If you draw a line connecting stone hinge with the precise 2 to 3 point, roughly coincident with Colby, you get the following proportion. If the lundy stone hinge line is 12, then the Colby stone hinge line is the square root of 153. Believe it or not, we'll see this cryptic number 153 again in the Luth pyramid and also in the Bible. So what's up with the square root of 153? Simple. It equals 12.369, the number of full moons in a year. So the proportions of the simple diagram encode cycles of sun, earth and moon. This is far too much to be explained away by chance. However, Michelle and Heath don't offer a theory as to how Neolithic tribes people knew the precise size of the earth surveyed such long distances, or understood subtle mathematical and astronomical relationships, living in what we know for certain to be an utterly primitive physical culture. Logically, one must consider the possibility that someone other than Neolithic tribes people built stone hinge. Michelle and Heath's work sadly hasn't been accepted by the scientists of our times and has ridiculed as pseudo-science, because their research has exposed how little we really understand about the origins of civilization. I for one urge you to keep an open mind and to weigh the evidence yourself using the scientific method. Academics today have little tolerance for theories that completely upset the apple cart if they wish to keep receiving funding. I don't have an unassailable theory either, but I will say that the builders of Stonehenge sure had some extraordinary architects directing their work. Fast forward for millennia from Stonehenge, and not far away Isaac Newton is hard at work in London on his theory of gravity. He's already invented calculus to cope with the mathematics, but now needs an accurate value for the size of the earth so he can calculate its precise volume, and thus fix his gravitational constant. Few realized that Newton was much more than a scientist. Today scientists downplay the fact that their greatest hero was also a practicing alchemist, and aren't many today would consider pseudo-science. For example, Newton was the first to quantify temperature in 1700 with a scale that was based on the freezing and boiling points of water. I find it particularly interesting that Newton chose to measure his scale from 0 to 33 degrees. Conspiracy buffs are also aware of Newton being identified in the dossier's secrets as one of the grandmasters of the priory of sion, an offshoot of the Templars. Whatever his reasons, Newton believed that the great pyramids' metrology encrypted the true dimensions of the earth. John Grieves professor of astronomy at the University of Oxford surveyed the great pyramid just before Isaac Newton was born. Newton meticulously studied Grieves' work and based his own dissertations on ancient metrology on it. In 1637, Grieves made the most accurate survey of the great pyramid ever undertaken up to that point in history. He was the first to make the unlikely conclusion that the foot was at the root of the pyramid's measurements. To commemorate his discovery, Grieves inscribed a line inside the King's chamber, measuring precisely one English foot, with the words, to be observed by all nations. The unfinished pyramid, that is without its absent pyramidian cap, measures exactly 480 English feet in height, which also happens to be precisely equal to 11th of a mile. The width comes in at exactly 756 feet. Herododus, the father of history, explained that the great pyramid was originally capped by a small model pyramid called a pyramidian, which was sheathed in a lectrum, an alloy of golden silver. Unfortunately, the valuable pyramidian is long gone. Richard Heath's metrology shows the great pyramids' pyramidian measured one and one 11th feet in height. This metallic cap would reflect the sun's light and look a lot like the shining eye on top of the US dollar bill. The great pyramid is the sole surviving wonder of the ancient world. It remains the oldest, largest, and most accurate building ever built. It was the tallest structure in the world for four millennia. It is aligned within a tenth of a percent of true north, and its 13 acre base supporting 2.3 million blocks of stone is horizontal and flat to within 15 millimeters. The mean opening and joints between exterior casing stones is less than half a millimeter. The scale and accuracy are astounding. I believe that even with all the money in the world, we do not have the technical capability to replicate the great pyramid today. There is much to be said about the great pyramids' proportions. I've already mentioned how 7 to 11 was encoded in the statue of Liberty. Renaissance artist Albrecht Durre, used the half triangle proportion of 14 to 11 in his esoteric masterpiece Melancholia 1. Richard Heath has found the half triangle, also encodes 365 days to 20 moons. An interesting astronomical take on the mystery. Notice how pie and pie, two of the most important numbers in mathematics, are also implicated and interrelated in the pyramid proportions. John Charles Webb Jr. has made a profound discovery about the location of the great pyramid that is unfortunately widely ignored because of its utter implausibility. Using Google Earth, we can measure the exact latitude of the center of the grand gallery inside the pyramid. It is 29.9792458 degrees north. The speed of light in the vacuum is 299 million 792,458 meters per second. Incredibly, these are the same numbers. How can this be? This correlation is either pure coincidence or evidence of something very profound. The meter as unit of length and the practice of dividing time into seconds would have to be coordinated for the location of the great pyramid to encode the speed of light. Nothing may sound more improbable, but this is exactly the sort of numbers game that I think the engines played. Consider the fact that one second is one earth rotation divided into 86,400 parts because one day is equal to 86,400 seconds. We call from the Stonehenge in San Francisco episodes that the Sun's diameter is 864,000 miles and 864 is the number of the Sun. Perhaps the second in the mile were skillfully designed to express this beautiful harmony with the Sun. The kilometer was originally defined by assuming the earth's maridians or conference equals 40,000 kilometers. In Paris part 3, you'll learn more about something I call the canon of 400. For a taste, consider that during a solar eclipse, the moon perfectly covers the Sun disk. The only reason this occurs so precisely is because the moon is exactly 400 times smaller than the Sun, while at the same time the moon is 400 times closer to the earth than the Sun. In addition, the earth turns 400 times faster than the moon. Perhaps saying the earth has a maridian circumference of 40,000 meters was no accident, as it's in the same number canon. I think the meter was secretly designed to resonate with the Sun. In fact, today the meter is circularly defined in terms of the speed of light, which is itself measured in meters per second. Consider the possibility that the meter is an ancient unit that was merely reintroduced 300 years ago, during a time of great hermedic obsession in France. With these facts in mind, it is easier to see how disparate units based on our planet's source of light, truly encode the speed of light, using the location of the great pyramid itself. Our history book somehow missed the fact that architects at the dawn of history knew the speed of light in the vacuum, and the exact size of the earth with pinpoint accuracy. Perhaps the great pyramid was made before the Egyptian culture began, by different architects entirely. In 1964, Alex Badovi and Victoria Trimble discovered that shafts in the King's chamber within the Great Pyramid pointed directly at a belt star in the Orion constellation, and the pole star at the time the pyramid was built. In 1993, Rudolph Gantonbrink got permission from the Egyptian authorities to send a robot upshafs in the Great Pyramid. He was able to accurately measure the exact shaft angles, and this data allowed Robert Bavall and Adrian Gilbert to run astronomical calculations, showing precisely where the shafts in the King's and Queen's chambers are pointing to in the sky. In their 1995 book The Orion Mystery, Bavall and Gilbert revealed that the shafts in the Queen's chamber point directly to the star's series in the south, and to the pole star at the time the pyramid was built in the north. I can understand the pole star connection, because recognizing that stars rotate around the celestial pole is the most fundamental observation in astronomy. But why do the other shafts point to Orion and Sirius? The book Talisman by Graham Hancock and Robert Bavall sheds light on this mystery. Orion and Sirius represented Osiris in his consort Isis to the ancient Egyptians. They are in a region of the sky called the Doot, the Egyptian Netherworld, where souls journeyed and were judged after death. Higher glyphs in the 3,400-year-old tomb of Tutmos III explain the benefits of copying the Doot upon the earth. Whoever shall make a copy of the Doot, and shall know it upon earth, it shall act as a magical protector for him, both in heaven and in earth, unfailingly, regularly, and eternally. So the Egyptians believed building copies of Orion and Sirius upon the earth acted as magical talismans, bringing the power of heaven down to earth. We've certainly seen a much more recent example of this in Washington, D.C. The Orion constellation is often depicted as a hunter with a sword between his legs. Dan S. Ward of Hall Exandria.org says, No male wears a sword between his legs, and very few hunters carry a sword. Perhaps a more appropriate description of that which is hanging down below a Ryan's waist, is that of a palace. The area of Osiris's palace contains the Orion Nebula, one of the most studied regions of space, because it is an incredibly generative area, where stars are continually being formed, how appropriate. By the way, we are in the Orion spur of the Milky Way galaxy, and Sirius is the brightest star in the sky by a wide margin, because it is one of our nearest neighbors. We now have the astronomical knowledge to recognize we are actually quite close to the doot. Bovall and Gilbert showed that the three pyramids of Giza actually have the same position and relative sizes as the belt stars of Orion. Dr. Gerhard Haney noticed that just as the belt stars of Orion pointed serious, the pyramids point directly at Heliopolis, ancient center of Egyptian science, art, and religion, which was a single unified body of knowledge in ancient times. Pythagoras, Plato, and many other ancient philosophers journey to Heliopolis were initiated there in the Egyptian mysteries and spread them in the west. Today, the only thing that's left of this entire city is a single obelisk, which happens to be the oldest standing obelisk in the world. Incidentally, this single obelisk is all that's left of the ancient temple of the Phoenix, which was described by Herodidis. I can't help but recall Phoenix imagery in the security council chamber of the United Nations. It's amazing how many connections there are between the symbolism of the elite and ancient Egypt. You've already heard about one Heliopolitan obelisk next to the Met in New York City, and it's pair on the Victorian bank mint in London. Rome has the remainder of the Heliopolitan obelisks left in the world. Heliopolis was the cult center for the nine great Egyptian gods, collectively called the Eniad. We'll learn more about the Eniad in San Francisco. In the first decade of the 20th century, GI Gurgief went on a mystical journey where he met with a number of remarkable men. At Mount Athos in Greece, he was supposedly entrusted with the key to decoding ancient Egyptian knowledge, preserved by the Sufi Sarmong Brotherhood. The key he received is the Eniad Gram, and the means to decipher it. The Eniad Gram is the fundamental hyrogliff of a universal language. All knowledge can be included in the Eniad Gram, and with the help of the Eniad Gram, it can be interpreted. Gurgief's philosophy was popularized by his pupil Ospensky, and through him the Eniad Gram found its way into modern psychology. The Eniad Gram of personality is a typology described by Riso and Hudson that's used in business, psychotherapy, arts, education, and for spiritual development. The Baha'ife course-bondingly uses a nine-pointed star as its symbol. Baha'i scripture specifies that every house of worship must feature a nine-sided great room. There is even a Christian connection. In the ninth book of the New Testament, Saint Paul wrote, the fruit of the Holy Spirit is love joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control, against such things there is no law. Here is the traditional depiction of the fruits of the Holy Spirit, shown with first letters in Latin. It's another nine-pointed star. With these things in mind, let's explore the sacred geometry of San Francisco. Believe it or not, San Francisco is steeped in Egyptian symbolism. The original Michael H. De Young Museum that was built in 1894 had an Egyptian theme, complete with an under pyramid entrance that anticipated the recent addition to the Louvre. The museum was unfortunately destroyed in the 1906 earthquake, and the Young Museum is presently in its third incarnation. However, the two sphinxes that flank the original museum's entrance are still there. The Trans-America pyramid is a landmark worldwide and is the most famous building in the city. But the Trans-America pyramid neither houses the headquarters of the Trans-America Corporation nor is it really a pyramid. Does it remind you of an obelisk? It's clearly not a true obelisk because it's not carved out of a single piece of granite, and the elevator core protrudes out of the sides of the structure. But we can see beyond this modern necessity to perceive its symbolism. The height of the 1972 structure is commonly cited at 853 feet, but this figure doesn't include the glass pyramidian cap and it's masked. Adding the additional 11 feet brings the total up to 864 feet, making this the tallest obelisk in the world, far exceeding the Washington Monuments 555 feet, and 864 is a very interesting number indeed. As you learned at Stonehenge, the Sun's diameter happens to be 864,000 miles. In addition, there are exactly 86,400 seconds in a day. By making the Trans-America pyramid, 864 feet high, the architect was clearly making it a solar symbol. The glass pyramidian cap contains a brilliant light that shines forth on July 4th. In addition to it being US Independence Day, July 4th is also apelion. The day the earth is farthest from the Sun in its yearly cycle. The Trans-America pyramid occupies a privileged site in the streets of San Francisco. It marks the end point of Columbus Avenue, which cuts across the street grid at a 40 degree angle. It's funny, but I recognized the significance of this 40 degree angle immediately, because I'd just been hired by an architect to make a 3D model of his 9-sided atrium. This incredible synchronicity is what allowed me to make the next discovery. When I overlaid a 9-sided figure on the streets of San Francisco, here is what I found. The Trans-America pyramid fits at this vertex. Columbus Avenue runs along this edge, the grid of streets matches this edge as 40 degree turn, and most significantly, it appears that Treasure Island was designed to fit this figure. Treasure Island was completed in 1937, in time for the Golden Gate International Exposition. The US Navy controversially sees Treasure Island from the city of San Francisco during World War II. The Navy built the unusual star-shaped barracks in the approximate location of the tower that had been torn down after the Expo in 37. The barracks also happened to be exactly at the midpoint of this edge of the diagram. While I'm not certain what the barracks symbolize, their shape and position does seem significant. Masonic author Albert Churchward says the higher-glyph of the risen Sun God Horace, looks like this. Also six triangles and higher-glyphs means land of the spirits. In any case, the Navy base was recently decommissioned, and Treasure Island is now open to the public. I went there to find the barracks abandoned, but the strange symbolism remains, at least for a little while longer. There is currently a plan in the works to build a large mixed-use development on Treasure Island. The plan scheduled to be completed in 2022 calls for a 650-foot-tall Sun tower to be constructed where the star-shaped barracks are today. Coincidentally, the single bus line that serves Treasure Island is Route 108. Again in the Stonehenge segment, you learned why 108 symbolizes the Moon. So in a few years, you'll be able to ride the Moon bus to the Sun Tower. In the Great Pyramid segment, we studied the Enniad, or Pantheon of the 9-Hin Egyptian gods worshiped at Heliopolis, the city of the Sun. When we layer the Enniad over the 9-sided figure, we see the correlation between the solar trans-America pyramid and the phallic obelisk of Ocyrus. When I turned on the terrain layer in Google Earth, telegraph hill poked up through the Enniad layer. So I started researching Coite Tower. It was designed by Arthur Brown Jr. in 1933, after Brown Designed Three Buildings in the Federal Triangle, which you'll remember figured prominently in the secret architecture of Washington, D.C. The octagonal top of Coite Tower fits within the octagram star, which you saw in Washington, D.C. Part 2, is a classic solar symbol. Do you think this is coincidental? There were four pairs of male and female gods in the oldest Egyptian creation myth, which predated the Enniad. The octoad, as the eight gods were known, was venerated in hermopolis, the city of Hermes. Hermes was his Greek name. Mercury was his Roman one. While both names echo Thoth, source of the Egyptian wisdom. All of these names supposedly reference the same immortal figure, who dispensed wisdom to humanity at different points in history. The subtle arcs along the sides of the structure suggest the inner locking circles of the vesica Pisces, which represents the female genitals. Perhaps not surprisingly, and just like the Washington monument, Coite Tower symbolizes the act of Coitus, or the sacred union of Isis and Ocirus. Hancock and Bevol have well documented in their book Talisman, how Thoth's knowledge base was passed down through the Nostics, Manachies, Bogumils and Cathars, all were ruthlessly wiped out by the Catholic Church. In a remaining followers were then completely annihilated by the Inquisition. Thankfully, the popes were an entirely successful and instituting a permanent dark age, because a century after the Inquisition, Cosmodemidichi recovered the Corpus Hermedica, which was written in the first century in Alexandria. This older stream of Hermedic knowledge that escaped the burning of the library of Alexandria actually fueled the Italian renaissance, and then went underground in secret societies that persist to this day. The Golden Gate is neither golden nor is it literally a gate. Instead, it's the Red Bridge built the same year as Treasure Island. Known throughout the world as an engineering marvel in symbol of San Francisco, it also represents the fulfillment of manifest destiny. The 19th century belief in the inexorable expansion of the United States, from sea to shining sea. Here's a 19th century painting depicting the goddess Columbia, leading settlers westward in an allegorical representation of manifest destiny. The Golden Gate is actually a concept from Uguestet, ancient Egypt. Are you seeing the pattern here? They believe the Golden Gate was the threshold souls must pass after death on their way to the Doat. You might be interested they also spoke of a silver gate, guarded by ISIS, the great mother of the sun. Souls passing through the silver gate on their journey from the divine source are incarnated upon the earth. I think Treasure Island represents the silver gate guarded by ISIS. It's seven sides certainly have her number. Perhaps the gift of incarnation itself is the treasure. The soul journeys westward like the American settler and passes over Alcatraz, one of the world's most famous prisons. This fits with the cathar belief that the body is the prison of the soul. All the while angels, this is Angel Island, fly above in a higher dimension. Angel Island is a state park and has incomparable views of the bay. The adjacent peninsula is the town of Belvedere, one of the highest income places in the United States. There may be a few Angel investors in Belvedere who take in the incredible scenery and its symbolism. After doing time upon the earth, the soul passes through the Golden Gate to meet its destiny in the Doat. Now we're way out there. Let's fly back to Giza and get back down to earth. The pyramids of Giza are said to be located in the middle of the earth. Jim Allison is an independent researcher who's uncovered some mind-blowing geometry. Here he's taken the Vesica Pisces and laid it over the circle of the earth. Giza is at this point, equidistant from the north pole and the center of the earth. Quite a central location when you see it this way. In one of the oldest surviving hermedic fragments called the Corre Cosmoo or Virgin of the World, Isis has this to say to her son Horace. But the right holy land of our ancestors lies in the middle of the earth and the middle of the human body is the sanctuary of the heart and the heart is the headquarters of the soul and that my son is the reason why men of this land are more wise. It could not be otherwise seeing their born and bred upon earth's heart. The heart of Egypt would have to be the great pyramid and it embodies many more secrets. Let's investigate a few more. Here I've superimposed two instances of the same 3D model. When we draw a circle from the center of the pyramid in plan to the tip of the pyramid in elevation, something amazing happens. We square the circle. There's circumference of the circle is equal to the perimeter of the square. This is a sacred diagram that encodes much wisdom. Mathematicians have proven this diagram can't be drawn perfectly because of the transcendental nature of pie. Approximations are all that is possible in flat Euclidean space. In the book The Dimensions of Paradise, John Michelle has shown how the first Pythagorean triplet is the key to the wisdom encoded in this diagram. Here 345 triangles set the scale and make it a very easy approximation for anyone to draw with compasses and a ruler. Now brace yourself for the wisdom. The moon and earth actually fit this diagram. The size of the moon compared to the earth is as 3 is to 11 with a 99.97% accuracy. The pyramid therefore encodes the relative sizes of moon and earth. The 345 triangle itself contains a secret that unlocks yet more of the mystery. The area of a 345 triangle is 6. 6 is one of very few perfect numbers in math and is the only number in the infinite sea of numbers which is both the sum and product of the same three numbers. The number 6 is associated with the macarcosm which is everything in the universe larger than the human scale. There's a simple mathematical realization that gets you from 6 to 720 that I'll skip over here. Pause the video if you love numbers. When you scale the original diagram by 720, here's what you get. The actual dimensions of the moon and earth in miles. The diagram says the earth's diameter is 7,920 miles and that's 99.97% accurate. The diagram says the moon's diameter is 2,160 miles and that's 99.94% accurate. That's one precise approximation. John Michelle called these the canonical numbers for a good reason. When we lay this diagram over stone hinge, we see that it fits. The dimensions of stone hinge matched the canonical numbers, but with a shifted decimal place and an English feet rather than in miles. St. Mary's Chapel in Glastonbury is another structure Michelle has found that fits the canonical numbers in English feet. According to the legend St. Joseph of Arimathea left Jerusalem after the crucifixion and traveled to the druid Isle of Avalan where he built the first Christian church. This was later rebuilt as St. Mary's Chapel in the 12th century. Joseph of Arimathea is mentioned in all four gospels as the wealthy man who donated his own prepared tomb that became the holy supplecure. Some say Joseph of Arimathea was Jesus' uncle because he acted like a family member in this regard. In any case these are the walls that remain from St. Mary's Chapel and here are its dimensions in English feet. The dimensions fit the canonical numbers just like stone hinge. The original chapel's ground plan resonates with a double Vesta Capices like we saw in the analysis of the great seal of the United States. Thinking of the legend, I overlaid a five by twelve rectangle with X's inside that will see later in Jerusalem and I discovered that it closely fits the double Vesta Capices. Perhaps there is truth to the legend of St. Joseph of Arimathea after all. St. Mary seems to bear the stamp of the Jerusalem rectangle. If shifting the decimal place in the canonical numbers doesn't matter, then there must be something special about the decimal system. Consider Pythagoras's motto all is number. The most sacred symbol in the Pythagorean secret worship of number was the Tetractis. The diagram consists of points arranged in four rows with one, two, three and four points in each successive row. The tetractis symbolizes the four elements and codes Pyramiysical intervals is the seed for understanding the harmony of the cosmic spheres and represents the structure of space itself. The sum of the points in the tetractis is 10. The decimal system we use today, known as base 10, utilizes nine digits plus zero as a placeholder. In fact the word digit comes from the Latin Digitus, which means finger. We naturally assume base 10 must have arisen from the practice of counting on fingers. Peter Plichita, who is both a physicist and a chemist, has shown in his book God's secret formula that there is much more to the decimal system beyond the physiology of our hands. Believe it or not, the decimal system hinges on the number 81. To understand this, bear with me for a moment and see how all the numbers in the decimal system are hiding under 81. Starting with the decimal point, line up all the numbers sequentially like this. The numbers beyond nine are shown in parentheses because they are not yet in the decimal play system of single digits. Carrying each parentheses digit into the decimal system yields a repeating decimal. This infinitely repeating number is equal to the reciprocal of 81. All the numbers really are hiding under 81. This is especially significant because there are exactly 81 stable elements in the universe, no more no less. The periodic table of the elements lists the elements beyond 83 as subject to radio active decay. But most are unaware of the fact that unstable elements 43 and 61 don't exist anywhere in the universe unless they are synthesized. Plichita was the first to make this connection and also points out that all 81 stable elements are categorized into 10 types of isotopes, which is another reference to the decimal system. So Pythagoras was right, all is number, and the numbers are in base 10. Rena Shesos book Math for Mystics points out some relevant spooky facts. Not only does the moon move through space 81 times faster than the earth, but the moon has 180 first the mass of earth. Am I alone in thinking this is just too perfect? She also points out that the magic square of the moon is a 9 by 9 square having 81 numbers. Magic squares go back at least 2600 years to ancient China. I get the feeling all of this was known in the distant past. Well kids count to 10 on their fingers, theoretical physicists talk about 10 dimensional superstrinks, and cobbless talk about 10 Sephiroth on the Tree of Life. They are all recounting the decimal structure of the universe from different points of view. Traveling a short distance along the Nile, we come to Deshure, sight of the lesser-known red and bent pyramids. Egyptologists claim these were contemporaneous with the great Pyramid of Giza. I think the sacred geometry of both pyramids was correctly deciphered at world-mistries.com. The pyramids at Deshure called keys to macrocosm and microcosm. First of all the red pyramid isn't as steep as the great pyramid. It's face proportions match this red triangle within a pentagram. Tilting up four such triangles until they meet defines the pyramid and its slope. The pentagram is a powerful magical talisman that was a symbol of the Pythagorean school. The pentagram encodes the golden number five within itself fractally. Fy is one of the most important numbers in mathematics, because nature uses it to proportion everything from pine cones to sunflowers and nautilus shells, even our bodies are based on the golden section. The number five is associated with the microcosm, with life and in the growth of living things. The adjacent bent pyramid is the only pyramid with two slope angles. The lower slope is steeper than the great pyramid, and its face proportions match this blue triangle within a hexagon. Tilting up four such triangles until they meet defines the pyramids lower slope. The upper slope matches the red pyramid, so its red triangles within pentagons again here. So what's up with all the hexagons and pentagons? It has been said that the great enigma of alchemy is the mystery between macrocosm and microcosm. The word alchemy actually comes from alchemy, which means the way of Egypt. I believe relating six to five is the essential key encoded at Dascher. Renaissance master Albrecht Durair made this drawing in his course in the art of measurement with compasses and a ruler. Everything emerges from the Vesica Pisces. Durair's melancholia I is one of the most studied pieces of esoteric art. Friends deckwits presented the following analysis in 1979 to John Michelle, who published it in his 1988 book The Dimensions of Paradise. The opening of the compasses is the key to the engravings metrology. The compasses sphere, measuring stick, and overall proportions all fit the same unit. As already mentioned, the engravings proportions of 14 to 11 match the great pyramids half triangle proportion. The objects in the engraving are packed with her medic symbolism, but the most interesting thing to me is the hidden controlling geometry. It's the alchemical wedding of pentagon and hexagon. Schweller Delubix did this study of an Egyptian gateway. Notice the proportions of six is in five's in the opening, and the octave height of two compared to the overall width of a fundamental one. Henry Lincoln co-wrote Holy Blood Holy Grail, which became an inspiration for Dan Brown's The Divinci Code, published more than 20 years later. In the Holy Place, Lincoln revealed what he calls a structured landscape in the former cathar country surrounding the mysterious village of Ren Lichetto. Again we see the marriage of six and five. The pentagram over the cube in DC is another representation of six and five coming together. Recall how triple sixes and fives are encoded in the Washington Monument, as 6,660 inches equals 555 feet. America's monumental obelisk, therefore expresses the relationship between macricosum and microcosum. Moving to a larger scale, the earth encodes six to five in temporal and spatial terms. The earth's processional cycle measured in years divided by the earth's equatorial circumference measured in nautical miles is precisely equal to six divided by five. Alex B. Guides discovered relationships in the solar system that expressed the macricosum's relationship to the microcosum. These are published in John Martino's superb little book of coincidence. The relationships Guides found are ratios between the products of mean orbital radii of planets in our solar system. More specifically, the ratios each equals six divided by five plus a small factor that must be added in each case to balance the equalities. Each product is a symmetrical relationship between inner rocky planets and outer gas giants. I notice that each one of the factors added to balance the equalities encodes 864. The same number you learned in the Stonehenge and San Francisco episodes is the number of the Sun, how incredibly apropos. In mathematics, phi and pi are two of the most important numbers. They can be related in the following way. Six divided by five times phi squared equals pi. This equation is an extremely accurate approximation, but is not exact, and as such is classified by mathematicians as a coincidence. Are all of these things just pure coincidence or evidence of hyperdimensional resonance? For a more complete answer to that, you'll have to wait for the Paris episodes. For the next astonishing example of six's overfives, we'll visit the holy city of Jerusalem. Jerusalem is one of the oldest cities in the world, having been continuously inhabited for close to six millennia. The old-walled city that occupies an area of less than one square kilometer is sacred in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The Church of the Holy Succuler is the most sacred place in Christianity, where Jesus was both crucified and entombed before rising from the dead. The site where Solomon's and Herod's temples were located is actively debated. The only thing the researcher seemed to agree upon is that it was somewhere on the Temple Mount. Locating the temple precisely is a priority for Jews, because the rock of foundation within the temple's holy of Holies is the most sacred place in Judaism. For centuries it has been assumed that this rock is the same stone where upon Abraham nearly sacrificed Isaac, and from which Muhammad ascended into heaven. Namely the bedrock upon which the dome of the rock stands today. You can see in this cutaway how the Sufi shrine was built to worship this bedrock. My favorite theory comes from Dr. Ashur Kaufman in 1991. He claims that the Jewish foundation stone is located just north of the dome of the rock, in a small section of exposed bedrock currently under the diminutive dome of the tablets. The echo of tablets in the dome's name is actually circumstantial evidence, suggesting correlation with the tablets of the ten commandments. These most famous tablets were stored in the arc of the covenant, which of course was located within the holy of Holies within Solomon's temple. However the main reason I subscribe to this theory is that it fits the larger geometry of the city, as proposed by John Michelle and Christine Roan in their book 12 Tribations. Michelle and Roan have drawn a 5 by 12 rectangle over Jerusalem, matching the proportion of rectangles we've studied all over the world. The Jerusalem rectangle is anchored in the ancient jaffa gate, an opposite city wall corner point here. It's right-edge parallels the temple mount. Richard Heath showed in sacred number that when we draw equal x's within the rectangle, the crossing points passed directly over the rock of Calvary inside the church of the Holy Seppelcar, where Jesus was crucified. And over the Jewish rock of foundation under the dome of the tablets. In other words these x's precisely mark the holy of spots in Christianity and Judaism. Measuring the rectangle uncover something more, the length is equal to 1,7282 bits of 1.728 feet each. That's a double reference to the number we learned in Washington DC symbolizes a cube. In Judaism the holy of holys within Solomon's temple had very specific proportions as described in the Torah. It was a cube measuring 20 qubits on each side. The holy of spot in Islam is Mecca. More specifically it is the Kaba within Mecca, which all Muslims are supposed to visit at least once in their lives. Kaba means cube. Indeed the object of their veneration is a giant black cube. The word Kaba, which means knowledge in Jewish mysticism, also references a cube. In Greek mythology a polo and Artemis were born on the small island of Dilos. As the story goes, the citizens of Dilos consulted the Oracle at Delphi to learn how to defeat a plague sent by a polo. The Oracle responded that they must double the volume of their cubic altar to a polo. This rather difficult problem involving the cube root of two was known as the Dealyan problem in mathematics, which was later solved by the Pythagorean philosopher Architis. Why are so many of the most important places symbolized by cubes? Recall that the cube that measures Jerusalem is 1.728 English feet exactly. 1.728 is equal to 6.5 raised to the third power. I suggest you do the math to verify this is so. Come to think of it, the word cube it clearly comes from the word cube. So Jerusalem is symbolized by the volume of a cube whose edge length relates macarcosm to microccosm. If you dimension the Jerusalem rectangle in this way, with two depictions of 6 and 5, you'll see the X's themselves as representations of the Great Enigma of Alchemy, namely the relationship between 6 and 5. Perhaps not surprisingly, the cube it that measures 1.728 English feet is actually the canonical Egyptian cube it. Author Ahmed Osman puts forward the controversial but never-refuted theory that Moses was actually the Egyptian pharaoh Akhenotten. Both were powerful monotheists who were educated in Egypt. It's certainly a theory worth contemplating. Many of the most significant events in Jesus' life are lined up along an axis. First of all, Jesus spent time teaching his disciples on the Mount of Olives. Jesus wrote into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday through this oldest of gates in Jerusalem city walls called the Golden Gate in Christian tradition. I can't help but think of the bridge in San Francisco. Here's Jado's depiction of Mary's parents, Joachim and Anne meeting at the Golden Gate. In Jewish tradition, this same gate is the one through which the Messiah will enter Jerusalem at some unknown point in the future. However, Suleiman the Magnificent sealed off the Golden Gate in 1541 literally to prevent the Messiah's entrance and the Golden Gate in Temple Mount remain under Islamic control today. As you know, this tension between Muslims and Jews has persisted up to the present day. Jesus upset the money-changers' tables and herds' temple here. If we accept the Kaufman theory as to the location of the second temple, the Garden of Guest Themony is the place where Jesus prayed the night before his crucifixion. This is the place where he is said to have sweat drops of blood. As tradition has it, the crucifixion happened at Calvary and his body was placed in the Holy Sepulchur just a few dozen feet away. Isn't it amazing that most of the important events in Christianity took place along an axis connecting the center of the axis in this diagram? Before we leave Jerusalem, I want to detour to a place you'd probably never expect me to go. Winnipeg Canada. It's the capital of Manitoba. Architectural historian Frank Albo has discovered the Manitoba legislative building, is not only a reconstruction of Solomon's temple, but is loaded with secrets in plain sight. The architect Frank Worthington Simon designed this 1920 building to be veiled in allegory and illustrated with symbols only his free-masonic brothers would understand. In fact, every premiere who worked in this building from 1870 to 1967 was a free-mason. Two Egyptians' faces flanked the entrance, just as they do in front of the house of the temple in Washington, D.C. The top of the dome features a 13-foot high gilded statue of Mercury. The same golden boy will meet again in Paris. After going up two flights of 13 steps, one enters a cubic space measuring 66.6 feet on edge. Will uncover the unexpected meaning of 666 in the most surprising of places in Paris? It's probably not what you think. According to Albo's research, two 13-foot high bronze bisones identified this as a cleansing room in temple vernacular. Going up another flight of 13 steps, one arrives in the rotunda. There's a mural on the wall of the rotunda above the entrance to the Manitoba legislative assembly that ostensibly depicts World War I. However, a man wearing a white robe with exposed chest, being supported by his brother, identifies him as an initiate in the first Masonic degree ceremony. Albo identifies this mural as the altar in what is secretly an initiation chamber. Looking up in the rotunda, you see the underside of the central dome the golden boy is perched upon. And looking down a level through an Oculus in the floor, reveals a fascinating space called the pool of the Black Star. Just off the rotunda is the Lieutenant Governor's Reception suite, which is the only space in the building off limits to the public. Albo got special permission to measure the chamber and discovered its acube having an edge length of 20 cubits. These are precisely the same dimensions as the Holy of Holies within Solomon's Temple, a place that was also obviously off limits to the public. But if this represents the Holy of Holies within Solomon's Temple, whereas the arc of the Covenant, Albo discovered its directly above this suite on the building exterior. The war chest, as it's known, is flanked by two warriors, which one can accurately identify as Raiders of the Lost Ark. This building is clearly amazing, but why is it here? Albo points out that Winnipeg is at the Geographical Center of North America. The Black Star at the heart of the Legislative Building was deliberately placed upon this naval point. Okay, but what is the building really doing? I think the Manitoba Legislative Building was designed as a magical talisman to harvest or in some sense control the energies of North America. Consider a much older example of this type of talismanic magic, old serum, which is the center point of laylines in England, dates from the same era as Stonehenge, Avery and Silvery Hill. This radiating topology reminds me of one other magical artifact. The Sun Disk worshiped during the reign of King Tut's Father, the Pharaoh Occanutton. If you think believing in magic is childish, consider Walt Disney's so-called Magic Kingdom. Did you know Disneyland has a mysterious club 33, which is not open to the general public? We know from studying DC how important the number 33 is to mason's. Club 33 memberships cost $20,000, and it's the only place in Disneyland where Alko Hall is served. There's clearly more going on in the Magic Kingdom than meets the eye. I think the Black Star at the center of North America holds a much deeper secret. Physicists Nasim Herimine, whom you'll hear more about in Rome, believes that Moses took a compact power source out of the Great Pyramid and placed it inside the Ark of the Covenant before he left Egypt. Herimine showed how the Ark fits precisely within the Miss Name sarcophagus, inside the King's chamber within the Great Pyramid. It was misnamed because no mummy has ever been found in an Egyptian pyramid. By the way, the Granite Box's exterior volume is exactly double its interior volume. A mathematical relationship echoed thousands of years later in the Dealyen problem that plagued the Greeks. Considering the evidence, I think the Ark was an Egyptian artifact before it became the most sacred object in Judaism. In any case, Herimine believes the power source inside the Ark was a mini black hole. During their exodus from Egypt, the Bible says the Israelites followed a pillar of cloud by day, and a pillar of fire by night. Herimine claims the mini black hole stored in the Ark, would have produced just such a fiery vortex rising like a pillar. Herimine's physics show that stars are really black holes under a mantle of trapped matter. Sunspots are black because they literally are vortices in the mantle that expose the black hole inside the Sun. The pool of the black star reveals this great cosmic secret to those who can decode the secrets in plain sight. Perhaps there is nowhere else in the world with more layers of history and symbolism than Jerusalem. I can think of no better example of this than in the Church of the Holy Sepulker. Its architecture is a patchwork, made from so many untold layers. Calvary Chapel is built on the first foot or so of the rock upon which Jesus is said to have been crucified. Excavation that took place in 1973 revealed a chapel, some 15 feet under this rock, called the Tomb of Adam, where the first human skull is said to be visible in the rock face. In fact the term Calvary comes from the Latin Calvariae Locus, which is Golgotha in Greek, or place of the skull in English. Prior to the first Christian emperor Constantine the Great, repurposing this site as the Church of the Holy Sepulker, it had been a temple of Venus. Before the Romans worship Venus, she was known in the Greek world as Aphrodite. And if we dig deeply enough, we find yet another layer on top of the Egyptian Isis. The notion of Christianity layering Egyptianism is nothing new. Here is Albrecht Durair's Renaissance depiction of the Man of Saros by the Colum. Note Christ's unestacable Egyptian Crook and Flail posture. This is Durair's secret depiction of Christ as Oceirus, the resurrected God. Durair then shows Christ being fagulated with said symbols in this later etching. Here is Oceirus with his characteristic Crook and Flail in the Egyptian Book of the Dead. Oceirus says Lord of the Dead presides over the weighing of soul's ceremony. A newbus measures the Dead man's heart on the scale against Moz Feather of Truth. Her husband Thoth, scribe of the gods, records the result. If the heart is later than the Feather, Horace will present the man's soul to Oceirus in the Doot. But if not, it will be devoured by the deadly Emmet, the monster who was part Crocodile, Lion and Hippopotamus. Mott is currently personified as Lady Justice holding scales and sword. Lady Justice adorns courthouses around the world. Here she is in the old Supreme Court chamber in the U.S. Capitol. The scales of justice were also used in Christianity in the last judgment. Here are 15th century depictions, showing souls being weighed and judged. The beasts of hell certainly recall the terror inspired by Emmet. Spell 125 in the Egyptian Book of the Dead, this what later became the ten commandments in Judeo-Christian theology. Everything goes back to Egypt. If you ask someone off the street where the Holy is spot in Christianity is, you probably won't hear the Church of the Holy Sepulchur in Jerusalem. Most will think of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. The word Peter literally means rock, and when Jesus said, upon this rock I will build my church, Simon became Peter. Thinking on all the rocks I'd been studying in Jerusalem, it was natural for me to draw a line from the rock of Golgotha to the tomb of St. Peter in Rome. Here we go again. The line connecting Golgotha with the tomb of St. Peter passes directly over the center of the Campedoglio. Mark today by the equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius. What we see in the Campedoglio is Michelangelo's vision for the top of the capital line hill. The ancient world's original capital. It took a Renaissance genius to symbolically turn the Roman power equation on its head. So instead of having the capital line face the ancient Roman forum as it had for Tomb of Linea Michelangelo turned the Campedoglio 180 degrees to face the Vatican. The Campedoglio's paving pattern depicts a 12-pointed elliptical star symbolizing a zodiac with the sun at the center. It is my contention that this long-distance alignment was originally drawn to connect the seat of power and Rome with the Temple of Venus in Jerusalem. In the Christian era the tomb of St. Peter in the Vatican was strategically located to be a continuation in line with this ancient axis. It is no secret that Christian churches were often built to top places of ancient worship. In this way pagan shrines were Christianized and their power absorbed into the body of the church. See how the alignment goes directly over the arch of Septimus Severus? The line passes only a few feet away from the embilicus or bisromae, the naval stone from which all distances in the Roman Empire were measured. All roads that led to Rome symbolically arrived here. Following the alignment through the forum we see that it goes through the center of the Roman Colosseum, where among other pastimes spectators enjoyed gladitorial combat and watching Christians being fed to the lions. This shape in the center of the Colosseum bowl suggests the Vesica Pisces. Could this be a symbol of Venus? If so, what went on in the Colosseum somehow became the opposition of the love and beauty associated with Venus? The last stop on our alignment tour is the largest ancient Egyptian obelisk in the world, including all of those still standing in Egypt. The alignment from Jerusalem passes directly over the tip of this 230-ton symbol in front of the Latteran. As you may have guessed, obelisks are one of the keys to unlocking the ancient mysteries. This obelisk wasn't always in front of the Latteran. It originally came from the temple of Karnak in Egypt and was moved to Rome by a constant in the great sun in the fourth century. The last of the Renaissance Popes, six-diss the fifth, moved the obelisk from where it had been in the Circus Maximus to the Latteran, displacing the equestrian statue of Marcus Relyus, which as you know was moved to the Campodoglio. Now, six-diss the fifth was a very singular pope. As is the custom when a pope dies, the new pope chooses an aim for himself. I find it fascinating that Felicia Peretti de Montalto chose a name referencing both six and five in six-diss the fifth. The fact is, six-diss the fifth redesign much of Rome during his brief five-year reign. He considered moving the church of the Holy Seppelkar and Jerusalem to Rome, but the logistics proved to be too much. He did, however, succeed at moving four gigantic Egyptian obelists within Rome, completing the dome of St. Peter's, opening six streets, building 14 fountains, and much more. Roman emperors were the first to radiate in antiquity for its obelists. By repositioning these obelists in Renaissance Rome, six-diss the fifth was motivated by something other than Catholicism. Researchers Jan Wichring in Aaron Parliere reveal much of what six-diss the fifth was up to. The red line shows a pair of obelists aligned to the summer solstice sunrise. The blue line shows another pair of obelists, aligned to the winter solstice sunrise. Six-diss the fifth placed Egyptian obelists in St. Peter's Square and in the Piazza del Popolo exactly as they are to create the red astronomical alignment. He engaged in a bit of urban renewal by opening a straight street connecting the ancient Roman obelists at the top of the Spanish steps and in front of Santa Maria Magiori to make the blue astronomical alignment visible. Balancing the masculine symbol of the obelisk, six-diss the fifth restored an ancient aqueduct and built fountain symbolizing the feminine to a company most obelisk. Four fountains marked the crossing of the blue and yellow lines connecting the Fontana de Diascuri and the Aquafeliche, all watery creations of six-diss the fifth. The green line connecting the Vatican obelisk with the four fountains marks equinoctial sunrise. Six-diss the fifth tomb in the Basilica of Santa Maria Magiori was his final gesture, linking his tomb with the astronomical alignments he set up in Rome. Why was six-diss the fifth obsessed with astronomical symbolism? Perhaps because astronomy is another key to the ancient mysteries. In addition to the solar symbolism mentioned in the Washington D.C. Part 2 episode, Bernini's redesign of St. Peter Square has a deeper reading. Which, in can parlier claim the two fountains flanking the obelisk represent a liquid axis symbolizing the galactic midplane of the Milky Way. The axis going through the Basilica is the Eclipseic and the other four paths represent solstices and equinoxes. In other words, the galactic and earth crosses coming together is an astronomical take on the underlying meaning of the solar octagram star. To top it all off, the Vatican obelisk is surmounted by a cross. The official story is that this massive pagan symbol was Christianized in this simplest of ways by putting a little cross on top. Hancock and Bavall write in Talisman that an obelisk with a cross on top is actually the higher glyph for heliopolis, the city where this obelisk supposedly came from. On Christmas morning, this is the astronomical view from Vatican Square, which rank and parlier have observed that the silver gate of birth is due east of the obelisk in St. Peter Square on the birthday of the Savior. I noticed that the galactic midplane leads right down to the Roman pantheon. This is our cue to have a look at this ancient Roman marvel and explore its deeper meaning. Patrick Hunt, who teaches classical archaeology at Stanford University, calls the pantheon the most impressive Roman monumental building in the world. I see it as a calendar in stone. It's rotunda is an engineering marvel, employing techniques such as reinforced concrete, not rediscovered until almost 2,000 years later. In this plan view, you can see the floor pattern in which stone from all over the empire was in late, a testament to Rome's imperial might. It's circle and square motif might symbolize the Earth moon system in the following way. Here a circle is inscribed within a square. The square has 27.3% more area than the circle. Comparing a circle and square with equal parameters, the circle's diameter is 27.3% larger than the edge of the square. Okay, so what? Well, the moon happens to be 27.3% the size of Earth, which is another way of relating moon to Earth with the proportion 3 to 11. In addition, the moon's siderial orbital period is 27.3 days. The words moon, month and menstruation all share the same route because they all have roughly the same period. Human gestation lasts on average 273 days. Another spooky coincidence has to do with temperature. As you're probably aware, Celsius is defined by a 100 degree scale, marking the freezing and boiling points of water. Water becomes liquid 273 degrees Celsius above absolute zero. Here are these numbers again. It seems to me that this fact references Earth as a water planet. Why are these numbers the same? Science has no answer for this other than pure coincidence. In this sectional view, you can see that a sphere fits perfectly within the volume the pantheon encloses. I think recognizing this as the celestial sphere is the key to the pantheon symbolism. The original Roman statuary fit into the seven alcoves. The pantheon of pagan gods was replaced with Christian saints when the building was christened the church of Santa Maria rotunda in the year 609. Exchanging pagan gods for astrological symbols, we see an arrangement matching the Tala-Maya harmony of the spheres. To the modern eye, this sequence might seem arbitrary, but it actually ranks the planets in order of increasing apparent speed against the background of fixed stars as seen from Earth. Tala-Maya cosmology is therefore an Earth-centric approach to astronomy. Mark Boothwrights in the secret history of the world. Tala-Maya's map of the spheres is conventionally presented as having been superseded by the ideas of Copernicus, Galileo, and so on. But in fact, was and is an accurate map of the spiritual dimension of the cosmos, a dimension which seemed more real to the ancients than the material cosmos. Are you aware that the days of the week are named after the planets? With the exception of Saturn Day, Sunday, and Moon Day, English speakers unfamiliar with Norse gods might have an easier time spotting this connection in French or Italian. Connecting the days of the week in order yields a seven-pointed star, somewhat distorted to accommodate squeezing it into the octagonal symmetry of the pantheon. Looking up in the rotunda, you see the Oculus, or central void in the dome. The Oculus is the sole source of illumination in the interior, so it clearly symbolizes the sun. The five rising tiers of coffers might represent the five planets visible with the naked eye from Earth. The 28 divisions around the circumference is where things really get interesting. It is my intention that the 28 rays represent days. Consider a month of four seven-day weeks, lasting 28 days. 13 such months add up to 364 days. The extra day needed to round out a 365-day year is where we get the phrase a year in a day. Richard Heath has traced this 13-month plus one-day calendar to the matriarchal societies of the Bronze Age. The Egyptian's Soffek year lasted exactly 365 days, without compensating for leap year as we do today. Soffess is the Greek name for Sirius, the star of the Egyptians based their new year on. Anyway that Father Time slices it, the 28-day division fits the Osiris story. The Temple of Isis on the island of Phile has Bar reliefs which tell the Osiris story. Hero Sirius has 28 stocks of wheat emerging from his dead body. The 13 pieces that Isis later reassembled symbolized the 13-month calendar of 28-day months. And his missing palace represents the extra day, rounding out the Soffek year. Many religious stories encrypt astronomical information in their core levels. Returning to Egypt for more wisdom, let's take a look at the Earth Moon diagram that came from studying the Great Pyramid. Recall how the relative sizes of Moon and Earth fit the diagram when the circle was squared. John Michelle rediscovered the key to much more ancient wisdom still encrypted in this diagram in his book The Dimensions of Paradise. Michelle expanded the number of spheres in the diagram from 1-12, for reasons that will soon become apparent. If the mean diameter of the Moon is 2,160 miles, then the 12 Moon evolution in the diagram encodes the Great Year. 2,160 times 12 equals 25,920, which is Earth's Processional Period. Each month in this so-called Great Year is likened to an age in astrology. We are currently leaving the Age of Prices and it's the dawning of the Age of Aquarius. John Michelle calls this the new Jerusalem diagram from his analysis of the Revelation of St. John. A 7-pointed star resonates within. Remember the 7-rayed diadem of Isis and the 7 rays of the Statue of Liberty? I prefer to call this the Isis diagram in reference to the older stream of knowledge coming out of Egypt. The Isis diagram encodes just intonation in music. On the most basic level, consider one octave of a piano keyboard. A total of 12 notes are divided by sharps leaving 7 white keys. The term sharps suggests the pointy heptogram doesn't it? As we'll soon see at Shard Cathedral, music along with astronomy, geometry and number theory are all keys to this ancient mystery. Expanding the Isis diagram to contain 4 7-pointed stars, we have what I call the Osiris diagram, which encodes the Sofic Year of 365 days in the following way. The 28 tips of the stars represent days in the ancient month. 12 circles round a 13th located at the center of the stars. The circles represent months. 13 months of 28 days each defines the year. The earth circle underlying the stars represents the extra day and completion of the Sofic Year. And the Sofic Year was itself calibrated by the heliocal rising of the star of Isis, consort to Osiris. It's beautiful the way the geometry matches the cosmology. The architecture of the universe is embedded in Egyptian cosmology. To perceive the larger ramifications of the cosmology we are rediscovering, let's break away from 2D diagrams and explore where we live, the third dimension. It's a 3D reality that 12 spheres fit perfectly around a central 13th, with all of them tangent to each other. While the 13 fit perfectly within an overarching sphere. I think this 3D reality is the source of the obsession with the number 13 that we've seen symbolized in so many places. Recall all the lucky 13s on the great seal of the United States. Lucky 13 might be more precisely described as 12 surrounding one. In the last supper, Da Vinci depicts Jesus in the center, surrounded by 12 apostles. Geometrically speaking, connecting the centers of the 12 surrounding spheres with straight lines reveals what is called the Q-box to Headron. The Q-box to Headron has faces composed of squares and triangles, odd quadrotum at odd triangleum as they would say in the middle ages. As it turns out, Q-box to Headron's fear packing has exactly 7 planes of symmetry. To these numbers sound familiar, 12 around one with 7 planes of symmetry, the Q-box to Headron is the 3D equivalent of the ISIS diagram. The first ever known depiction of a Q-box to Headron was drawn by Leonardo Da Vinci. He created this illustration for Luca Paccioli's book, Da Divina Proportione. Paccioli and Da Vinci work together, became close friends and later shared a house together in Florence. Paccioli was at the center of the Renaissance Hermetic Obsession, begun by Cosimo Da Medici in 1430 when he obtained the Corpus Hermetica, a body of work compiled in the first few centuries of the commonera, recounting words passed down by Thoth, through the last of the Egyptian priesthood in Alexandria. Here is Paccioli with a mysterious transparent Q-box to Headron have filled with water. Some believe the younger man standing next to him is Albrecht Durer. In divine proportion, Priya Heminway writes, in the autumn of 1506 Albrecht Durer wrote from Venice to Bologna to the home of Luca Paccioli in order to be initiated in the mysteries of a secret perspective. Clearly the Q-box to Headron was important to these Renaissance masters immersed in her Hermetic knowledge. Perhaps they knew something we don't. In the 20th century, Buckminster Fuller was obsessed with the Q-box to Headron. He called it the Dimaxian and built his philosophy around it, because the Q-box to Headron is the only polyhedron completely in equilibrium. All 12 vectors emanating from its core have equal angles, and all of its internal and external edges have equal length. In the 21st century, the Q-box to Headron is the foundation for physicist-nassim Hermines unified field theory that offers a new solution to Einstein's field equations. Hermine claims that the vacuum, a term used by physicists, to refer to a volume of space that is completely devoid of matter, actually has a structure, and this structure is based at the core on the Q-box to Headron. What we perceive as empty space is actually a seeding called rune of energy. Physicists calculate that the amount of energy in each and every cubic centimeter of space exceeds the energy output of all stars visible to the Hubble space telescope. The reason space seems empty is because all that energy is perfectly balanced in a state of equilibrium. It looks to us like nothing is there. Hermine has built his entire unified theory of physics on Q-box to Headron geometry. I believe Hermine is really onto something. His latest paper, the Schwartz Child Proton, received the best paper award in a physics symposium in 2009. Modern physics seems to be catching up with ancient knowledge. To understand astronomy, one needs to have some background. Here's my crash course on esoteric astronomy in six quick lessons. The earth revolves about the sun in a plane called the Eclipse-Dick. The 12 constellations of fixed stars that intersect the Eclipse are called the zodiac. All the stars of the zodiac are actually our close neighbors compared to the size of our entire galaxy. The earth sequator is tilted some 23.5 degrees with respect to the Eclipse-Dick. Gary Osborn's fascinating paradigm shift website shows how the angle of the earth's tilt is symbolized in art. Here are ISIS unassiris raising the Jed, which amazingly matches the angle of the earth's tilt. And here again the 23.5 degree angle matches the slope of the pyramid on the dollar bill. Osborn has found this same angle symbolized in many other pieces of esoteric art. The earth's tilt is the reason we experience seasons. The seasons are defined by the earth's orbit, which contains two solstices and two equinoxes. Looking at the solar system from above, the seasons naturally make a cross, which you're in can parliere call this the earth cross. Our galaxy is called the Milky Way because its myriad stars resemble milk, streaking our night skies. If you were able to look at our galaxy edge on, you would see it as a flattened disk. This flattened structure is what makes the Milky Way look like a narrowly defined streak in the sky, rather than an even distribution of stars. The central plane of the galactic disk is called its midplane. The ecliptic is tilted some 120 degrees with respect to the midplane, naturally making a cross in two dimensions, which you're in can parliere call this the galactic cross. Imagine beginning a journey outside the galaxy, flying through the zodiac, passing by each one of the visible planets, and stopping on earth for a while. After a short stay you begin the journey home, traveling out past the planets through the zodiac, and on toward the center of the galaxy. This route describes the mystical journey of the soul. It is mirrored in the Tala-Maeic, or geocentric cosmology that predated Copernicanism. The ancient Egyptians represented beginning an ending waypoints along the journey of the soul, with silver and golden gates. Which, in can parliere, show that the direction of the silver gate is located between the horns of tourists as seen from earth. You can find the horns by following Orion the Hunter's Club, or Monoceros the Unicorn's Horn, because both point at the intersection of the galactic midplane and the Eclipse. A point known to the Egyptians as the silver gate. ISIS shown with horns framing the sun disk symbolizes her guardianship of the silver gate, or gate of birth. On the opposite side of the zodiac, the golden gate is located close to where the arrow of Sagittarius is pointing, and where the stinger of Scorpio is reaching. The golden gate is the second place where the galactic midplane and Eclipse intersect. The winged scarab framing a sun disk was used to symbolize guardianship over the golden gate, or gate of death. The scarab is an appropriate symbol because of how this insect pushes done balls backward with its hind legs, mimicking the sun's retrograde processional motion through the zodiac. The coat of arms for the state of Vatican City features silver and gold keys, because these are the keys to the kingdom that Christ gave to Peter. Pietro Paragino's fresco in the 16 Chapel shows Christ giving one silver and one gold key to Peter. ISIS the two Roman arches flanking the fresco as secretly depicting the Egyptian silver and golden gates. The octagonal domed building in the center clearly represents the sun, and the perspective grid must be the Eclipse. The people in the Piazza are taking the journey of the soul. I was taught as a child to follow the outrage of the big dipper to find the North Star Polaris. In the past this rule of thumb didn't always work, because the celestial pole changes over time due to the Earth's procession. When the Great Pyramid was built, the Star Thuban in the constellation Drakeo was the North Star. Remember one of the pyramid shafts, point at Fuban. The celestial pole actually traces out of circle in the heavens, representing the 25,920 year processional cycle. This cycle is called the Great Year. In 3D the Great Year is seen as a processional cone swept out over time by the Earth's tilted axis. The Earth's processional cone, the sun, and the Galactic Midplane will precisely align on winter solstice 2012. Author John Major Jenkins calls this phenomenon Galactic alignment. The Mayan Long Count calendar was designed to end on winter solstice, December 21, 2012. Acharya S. says in the Christ conspiracy, many of the world's crucified godmen had their traditional birthdays on December 25th. This data set because the ancients recognized that the sun makes an annual descent southward until after midnight of December 21st, the winter solstice. When it stops moving subtly for three days and was born again after midnight of December 24th. Thus these many different cultures celebrated with great joy, the sun of god's birthday on December 25th. Christmas 2012 marks the beginning of a new great year. The Milky Way galaxy has a rotational period that I like to call the Galactic Year. It lasts approximately 224 million years. Our solar system is related to the larger cycle through number. There are 8,640 great years in the Galactic Year. It's amazing how the earth's precessional cycle, the number of the sun, and the deck ad harmonized with the Galactic Year. Before the Italian Renaissance there was an earlier flowering of ancient knowledge in medieval France. This was initiated when nine self-described poor nights of Christ returned from a decade of excavation work undertaking in the Temple Mount of Jerusalem. The most famous preacher of the age, St. Bernard de Clarevo, argued persuasively on their behalf at the Council of Troyes in 1129. This resulted in the Templar Order being officially chartered and endorsed by the Catholic Church. The poor Templars instantly became a favored charity and it certainly didn't hurt when the Pope signed an order saying they didn't have to pay any taxes. Could pass freely through international borders and were exempt from all legal authorities safe for his own. This also tells you something about just how powerful the papacy was in those days. The Templars accepted large donations in monetary deposits, started issuing letters of credit, opened banks in several countries, and essentially became the first multinational corporation. Very quickly the Templars had an abundance of gold and military power. To me the question is what did those nine poor nights find in Jerusalem that led to their meteoric rise in power? Could they have found Enoks Q buried in the Temple Mount from before the Great Flood? Whatever the case, I believe they unearth knowledge rather than gold. And with knowledge comes power. Speaking of someone with sacred knowledge, St. Bernard de Clervaux is a fascinating figure. Norman Cantor had this to say about Bernard in his book The Civilization of the Middle Ages. Bernard played the leading role in the development of the Virgin Cult, which is one of the most important manifestations of the popular piety of the 12th century. In early medieval thought the Virgin Mary had played a minor role, and it was only with the rise of emotional Christianity in the 11th century, that she became the prime intercessor for humanity with the deity. Bernard wrote, no one can enter heaven unless by Mary, as though through a door. In this illumination Bernard is shown receiving a stream of milk from the Virgin's breast. He wrote several works on the Queen of Heaven, which was also an epithet used in ancient Egypt for ISIS. Essentially Bernard reintroduce the cult of ISIS to the west under the veil of Mary. As the primary architect of the Cistercian and Templar orders, Bernard's writings had a major impact on the Gothic building explosion that ensued all over Europe for the next 300 years. On building Bernard wrote, there must be no decoration, only proportion. As you've seen, proportion is what sacred geometry is all about. Although the current cathedral of our Lady of Shart was begun a few decades after St. Bernard's death, Shart had long before been a pilgrimage center dedicated to the Virgin. Since 876, the site housed the Sankha Kamisa, a tunic said to have been warned by the Virgin Mary. When the old church at Shart burned down, the relic was feared lost. When the Sankha Kamisa was discovered unharmed in the ashes, it was deemed a miracle. The dramatic recovery of the relic catalyzed medieval Europe's interest in the building project. And Shart ended up becoming the first cathedral dedicated to Notre Dame, and one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in the world. More than a place of religious worship, Shart was also a cathedral school in the medieval period. In this school, Platonic and Pythagorean thought passed through a Christian filter, and resurfaced in the west after a thousand-year hiatus. Shart remembers Pythagoras in this sculpture in the right bay of the royal portal, Timpenem. The seven liberal arts comprise the curriculum taught in the school of Shart. The seven arts were split into two groups, the Trivium and Quadrivium. Trivium is where we get the word Trivial, because grammar, rhetoric and logic were considered basic but necessary skills to master, before studying the more challenging Quadrivium subjects, which included number theory, music, geometry and astronomy. Each one of the subjects in the Quadrivium serves as a key to the ancient mysteries. The seven medieval liberal arts were a bit different compared to a liberal arts degree today. These subjects were taught only to the elite. The so-called survival arts were taught to trade people employed by the elite. The goal of the survival arts was not to cultivate critical thinking but to develop specific skills required by farmers, blacksmiths, carpenters, stone maissons, and so on. This liberal survival division mirrors the internal division between speculative maissons, more commonly known as free maissons, and the operative stone maissons who actually built the cathedral. Australian architect John James has discovered how the floor plan of the cathedral was laid out ad quadratum, as you can see from the red squares. The smaller squares are half the size of the larger, as octaves are related in music. The template for the cathedral ground plan clearly echoes the Quadrivium. Two millennia ago famed Roman architect Vatruvius described in his 10 books of architecture that effective temples are based on the proportions of the human body. Vatruvius' written description of ideal human proportions later influenced many Renaissance artists, including Leonardo da Vinci and Cesare Cesareano. Here Cesareano's Vatruvian man fits the cathedral's ground plan and shows that it was based on the proportions of the human body as laid out in antiquity. English professor of architecture Keith Crichlow has discovered a fascinating correlation between the floor plan and front elevation of shard. In Tric by the fact that the rose windows containing the exquisite stained glass and the famed labyrinth have equal diameters. Crichlow compared the plan to the elevation. The rose window and the labyrinth line up perfectly like so. The golden ball atop the sun tower aligns with the curve of the apps here. The moon tower silver ball corresponds to the wrong point, the center from which the chapel's radiate. Clearly the design is correlated in two separate dimensions. Boaz and Jekin are the names of the two columns that stood at the entry to Solomon's temple that are echoed in all Masonic temples today. Boaz stood on the left and the name Boaz means sun. Jekin stood on the right and means moon. This symbolism matches the towers at shard. Crichlow explains that the sun tower is 365 English feet in height. The moon tower is slightly shorter some 28 feet less. These measurements suggest several things. Number one the design was based on the English foot. Number two the 365 foot sun tower symbolizes the year. And number three the 28 foot difference in the moon tower symbolizes the 28-day month of 47-day weeks. I think this metrology shows how shard is a calendar in stone very much like the Roman Pentheon. Before the Christian era the grotto below shard was a druidic shrine of ISIS. Above the crypt today there is a black Madonna and child called Arleady of the pillar that many suspect has a meaning older than Christianity. The druid grotto housed a sacred dolman that was identified with the womb of the earth. Think about it. Both ISIS and Mary were called Queen of Heaven. Identified as so-called virgins who had unusual conceptions. And later had sons who symbolized the sun who also shared the same birthday. The story of Mary and Jesus is a recapitulation of the ancient Egyptian story of ISIS and Horace. The black Madonna hints at her African origins while retaining just enough plausible deniability to avert uncomfortable questions for the church. Shark cathedral's axis is oriented to the summer solstice sunrise just like the red alignment six just the fifth set up in Vatican Square. The labyrinth is not a maze because there is only one path to follow like the life we live from birth to death. The labyrinths eleven concentric rings match the tallymate cosmology or spiritual dimension of the cosmos. Walking the labyrinth is therefore like taking the journey of the soul. There are 112 Cogs on the outside of the labyrinth, a fact which has puzzled scholars. In them John James has discovered an unexpected connection to the Arab world. John James writes, the eighth century Arab Sufi alchemist, Jebier Ibn Hayan, divided the four elementary qualities of existence, earth air, fire and water, into four degrees with seven subdivisions, giving a total of 112 classifications, which between them contained all the materials, liquids and gases found in manifest creation. Known in the West is Geber and considered to be the father of chemistry, he worked in the court of Khalif Harun Al Rashid, for whom he wrote the book of Venus on the Art of Alchemy. His work paved the way for later Islamic and European alchemists, in their search for the philosopher's stone. Among his long list of achievements, Geber pioneered techniques and glass making that were used in the stained glass directly above the labyrinth that there is his philosophical number symbolism. Modern chemists still don't understand what gives the sharp glass such incredible vibrancy. Sur Lawrence Gardner says in the bloodline of the Holy Grail, one of the greatest mysteries of Gothic architecture is the stained glass used in the cathedral windows. The first appeared in the early 12th century, but disappeared just as suddenly a hundred years later. Nothing like it has been seen before, and nothing like it has been seen since. Not only is the luminosity of Gothic glass greater than any other, but its light enhancement qualities are far more effective. Unlike the stained glass of other architectural schools, its interior effect is the same, whether the light outside is bright or dim. Even in twilight, this glass retains brilliance way beyond that of any other. Richlo says in the Shark Cathedral a sacred geometry DVD that he was approached by a Hindu gentleman who explained the meaning of the number symbolism on the western facade. In Hinduism, Shakras are traditionally symbolized by lotus flowers with specific numbers of petals. Amazingly, specific details on the facade match this symbolism. The facade is a reminder that the cathedral houses the body of the church, or more importantly perhaps, Shark is saying the body is a temple. Shark is a masterwork of hidden syncretism, melding belief systems that secretly transcend Christian dogma. The temperum above the central front doors of the royal portal encodes an entire cosmology before figures surrounding Christ depict a man, eagle, lion and bull. In Christianity, these are the four beasts of the apocalypse as described in the mystical visions of Ezekiel and Saint John of Patmos. On the literal level, its Jesus with a halo, waving at us from inside of Escapaisis, surrounded by the four beasts of the apocalypse. A strange collection of Christian imagery perhaps, but not uncommon. In time the four beasts became synonymous with the four evangelists, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. However, when you understand the symbolism, a reading of the encoded message becomes possible. As you learned in my crash course in esoteric astronomy, these beasts are the fixed astrological signs symbolizing the galactic cross. Yon Wichring says Christ's halo represents the earth cross. I see the sun God welcoming you through the galactic stargate at the moment of your apotheosis, a royal portal indeed. I have uncovered sacred design templates underlying the principal section drawing cut through Shark Cathedral. Steven Skinner identified circles guiding the central vault and flying buttress designs in his book Sacred Geometry. His observations allowed me to take the geometric analysis a few steps further. I see two sets of three stacked rhombie guiding the wall design, circles drawn from the tips of paired equilateral triangles to find the centers of the buttresses in trados, or lower curves, and mark the spring line of the lower arch. This revolutionary design allowed the masonry to be lighter and the windows larger, admitting the flood of light characteristic of the Gothic style. Now you can appreciate how the walls at Shark were designed add triangular. What is more, the diameter of these circles equals the size of the rose windows and the labyrinth. It's almost as if the designer never changed the distance set between his compasses when designing the entire structure. Crichlow points out that the names of the architects of Shark were never recorded. They were known only as the masters of the compasses. In researching the house of the temple in DC, I came across a rare depiction of the cabalistic tree of life in Albert Pikes Morals and Dogma, shown here as a set of three stacked rhombie. Snolage encoded at Shark was preserved by free masones. For the next revelation we turn to music and geometry. In music an octave is the interval between one note and another having double its frequency. In plain geometry you can symbolize the octave in two ways, add triangular, or add quadratum. The circle outside the triangle has double the diameter of the circle inside. Circle outside the square has double the area of the circle inside. The central vault is defined by a larger circle having twice the diameter of the smaller circle inside, which itself is equal to the diameter of all the circles in the wall section, the rose windows and the labyrinth. Shark is therefore based on one circle repeated using musical principles. Amazingly the flower of life fits this geometry. Perhaps the master of the compasses use the flower as the overarching design template. You can draw the flower of life using compasses only. The nave width is sent by a central circle which is tangent to four others, having equal diameters. The central circle shown within the yellow triangle completes the picture. Masonic society probably began around the time chart was being built. Recall how Saint Bernard de Clarevoe was instrumental in the formation of the Templars. And later after the Templars were taken down, the knowledge they unearth from Solomon's temple went back underground to survive in Masonry, Rosa Crucianism, and other secret societies. The Masonic Square encompasses emblem often depicts these instruments surrounding the letter G. As with most symbols, the meaning of G depends upon your level of knowledge. I've seen it referred to at times as geometry, the generative principle, and most appropriately for what I'm investigating, the great architect of the universe. I discovered a long-distance alignment that leads from France to the United Kingdom. This one begins very close to Shart both in time and space. Shart Cathedral was built at the same time as Bours Cathedral, and is only a hundred miles away. When I was studying Bours Cathedral, I kept thinking about the connections between the founder of the Gothic style and the Templars. So I drew a line in Google Earth from the central entry of Bours Cathedral to the entry of Roslan Chapel in Scotland. So what? You can draw a line between any two points, but you won't believe what the line passes directly over in London. The headquarters of the United Grand Free Masonic Lodge of England. The United Grand Lodge of England is the main governing body of free Masonry within England, Wales, and much of the former British Empire. The building is on great Queen Street, no less. Ugly, as the organization is known, seems to be a fitting acronym for its ugliest in container. Historically, third on the site since Masonic meetings first started here in 1775. A year before the American Revolution. Perhaps some of America's Masonic Founding Fathers planned the Revolution here. I'm not sure. When the Templars were around, they controlled a sizable district, less than half a mile away in the city of London. The temple includes temple church, the adjacent middle and outer temples, and a host of related buildings. The Templars themselves said they designed the round portion of temple church after the church of the Holy Sepulchur in Jerusalem, which also features a rotunda. Perhaps politics motivated them to claim Christian provenance for their temple. Long time esoteric researcher John Smeout says a better geometric comparison is between temple church and the dome of the rock, which seems to have a high degree of correlation with the round church's ground plan. This makes more sense to me as the Templars did take their name from the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Case in point they were never known as the Knights of the Holy Sepulchur. Which ever building was ultimately their template, the Templar influence was so powerful that they actually got the patriarch of Jerusalem to come to London and consecrate Temple Church in 1185. Temple Church was brought to the public's attention in the Da Vinci Code, where it was the scene of a shootout amidst marble effigies of medieval knights. The temple served at times as the residents of kings and representatives of the Pope, while Temple Church itself served as a depository bank. I believe Smeout's geometric analysis of Temple Church is right on the money if you'll pardon the pun. The Temple plan is laid out with triangles and squares, which we know from studying Shark Cathedral have hidden significance. Triangles and squares are arranged in such a way as to depict three cubes. The symbolism of three cubes is something we've seen before in the George Washington Masonic National Memorial. I believe three cubes symbolized the holographic nature of the universe, the human planetary and stellar scales resonating as a fractal structure, as above so below. My reasons for coming to this unusual conclusion will become apparent in the Paris episodes. After the Great Fire of London in 1666, Sir Christopher Ren was chosen to redesign St. Paul's Cathedral. He oriented St. Paul's in line with the axis of Temple Church, extending beyond St. Paul's we see the alignment continues to the bank of England. The bank was chartered in 1694 during the construction of Ren's Cathedral. More than just a local branch, the bank of England is the central bank of the whole of the United Kingdom and is the model on which most countries modern central banks are based. The bank of England is literally the mother of all banks. Recall how the Templars' meteoric rise in power came in part by becoming the first transnational bank and how Temple Church itself acted as a bank, whilst housing both royals and papal representatives. By tracing the alignment from Temple Church to the bank of England through St. Paul's Cathedral, we draw a connection between Templars, the modern banking system and the church. Three powerful bedfellows. The bank of England presides over a street pyramid in the heart of the city of London. The symbolism of the bank over a pyramid suggests a hidden power relationship, analogous to the house of the Temple presiding over the pyramid of Washington DC. After all pyramids are clear symbols of hierarchy and one can read it as control from the top down. The base of the pyramid contains the London stone, said to be the rock from which all distances in the United Kingdom were measured. The Romans laid this foundation stone in London, just as they had done earlier with the Ambilicus orbes Romei. You could say this pyramid was built on a rock solid Roman foundation. Some of the greatest secrets are hidden in plain sight. Isn't that strange? I mean if you ran a secret society, why painstakingly encrypt your greatest truths in alignment, city plans, and in architecture? I would have thought there were better ways of keeping secrets. There must be some kind of power gained or maintained by hiding these truths out in the open where many can see, but few understand. Sir Christopher Renn was a brilliant mathematician, astronomer, geometry, and architect. He was an enlightened man who clearly excelled in the seven liberal arts. St. Paul's Cathedral is the most important building of Renn's architectural career. Stephen Skinner pointed out in his book Sacred Geometry that the length of St. Paul's including its entrance steps measures 555 feet, and that this distance is equal to the height of the Washington Monument. Recall how triple-sixes and fives are encoded in this singular measure, as 660 inches equals 555 feet. St. Paul's length therefore symbolizes the relationship between macronautism and microcosm. The distance from the floor of the cathedral to the top of the cross on its dome is 365 feet, matching the height and symbolism of the sun tower at chart. St. Paul's is one of the few places we're not surprised to see the English foot used as the unit of measure. Trying to decipher London from another angle, I was looking at Buckingham Palace and wondering about the perfectly straight axis called the mall in front of it. Wanting to trace where this obvious gesture leads, I need to ask where does the royal axis go? It appears that the mall leads to the Admiralty Arch, but then the axis seems to fade away in the confusion of buildings along the strand, or does it? Tracing the axis beginning at Buckingham Palace, passing over the Victorian memorial, traveling along the mall, going under the Admiralty Arch and through the buildings on the strand, the axis arrives precisely at Temple Bar. Temple Bar was a gate designed by Sir Christopher Ren to ceremonially bar access to the city of London. It got the name Temple from being directly in front of the Temple Arch compound. The Temple was taken over by the Inns of Court after the Templars were ousted in 1307. The middle Temple and outer Temple are two of the Inns of Court to which all barristers in England must today belong. In fact, the phrase the bar, meaning the legal profession as a whole can be traced back to Temple Bar. Ren's gate is no longer there but tradition and the law remain. Traditionally the Lord Mayor would offer the sort of state to the Queen when she passed through the gate as a token of loyalty. It is a little known legal fact that the monarch may not enter the city of London without the permission of the Lord Mayor of London. What's up with that? I always thought the Queen was the one in charge. You might be surprised to learn that the Lord Mayor is not the Mayor of London. Nor is the city of London the same as Greater London. Confused? The law can do that. The person the Queen bows to is the Lord Mayor of London. He's the guy who runs the city of London corporation, a tiny private jurisdiction that covers only about one square mile. The wealthiest square mile on Earth as it's often referred to is the sovereign state within Greater London, whose boundary closely follows the ancient Roman walls of Londonian. In Isaac Newton's Day there were more than 200,000 souls living within the square mile, but now that figure is down to less than 10,000. Today the tiny city of London has become a leading center of global finance. Other powerful sovereign cities within cities that come to mind are of course the United Nations headquarters and Vatican City. Let's see if you can guess the final city in my world tour. Here we are over a semi-public urban park. I was drawn to this place when I read it had a small Egyptian pyramid folly, nine gates, and a fifth-generation watchman who lives in the diminutive rotundabilding right here. Five generations of watchmen living in a tiny pavilion must be motivated to guard something pretty interesting. The informal layout and curving walkways say English garden, but having been immersed in London something bigger popped out at me. The shape of the park it closely matches the ancient walls of the city of London. This park was built by the richest man in the country who was also a King's cousin. He was a lover of all things English and enemy of all things royalist. He ended up being beheaded like so many others of his time. Where are we? If you guessed Paris here correct. We entered the city of light through the portal of Park Monsau established by Louis Philippe II Duke de Raleon. As you may have guessed the Duke of Orleans was a free Mason. He actually served as Grand Master of the governing body of French free Masonry, the Grand Orient of France. The pyramid in Park Monsau is trivial, however, compared to what the Louvre pyramid encodes. President Francois Miterand commissioned the Louvre pyramid and the adjacent pyramid in Versailles to be completed by 1989 for the celebration of the bicentennial of the French Revolution. Miterand personally selected architect IMP, without hosting a design competition, as would be expected for such an important commission. The modern pyramids metal armature was designed to support a lot of glass. Wikipedia states that the official brochure published during construction cited 666 as its number of pains. But then writes it off as an urban legend because an actual fact the pyramid contains a different number of pains. That didn't stop various journalists at the time from drumming up quite a controversy about the number of the beast. And Miterand was jokingly referred to as the Sun King for a while. However, I have indeed found 666 rhombies symbolized in the pyramid. Why rhombies you ask? A rhombus can be made from two conjoined equilateral triangles. The rhombus is the masculine or linear element inside the feminine curves of the Versailles' capacities, whose name means vessel of the fish, because the Christian fish symbol emerges from it. The rhombus is therefore a sacred symbol. Notice how each of the larger rhombic frames contains 36 rhombic pains of glass. As you can see the number of rhombic pains on a typical face adds up to 153. This is a very interesting number that has mystical Christian significance. Do you remember the square root of 153 being equal to the number of moons in a year? We learned that fact by studying Stonehenge. Here's a quote from the New Testament that entangles fish and 153 in a Christian net. Simon Peter went up and drew the net to land full of great fishes, 150 and 3, and for all there were so many, it was not the net broken. This number of fish, I mean why bother enumerating them, has puzzled scholars for centuries, and is an example of how parables in the Bible encrypt important information in plain text. Here's Jesus describing his practice of hiding information in symbols. He answered in said unto them, because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. Therefore I speak to them in parables, because they see, see, not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. Tabulating the additional triangles and converting them to rhombie, and then adding the number of rhombic frames, we get 166.5 symbolic rhombie in a typical face, and for such faces equals 666. Let's look at the actual Bible quote and see what it tells us in regard to the infamous number of the beast. Here is wisdom, let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 603 score and six. Why man is called a beast, should be obvious by what humans are doing to this planet's natural environment. We may be beast-yall in our unenlightened state, but this is beside the point I'm making. The beast here is not Satan, but man. In particular the Louvre pyramid is about a man. Robert Bavall had a stunning realization described in the book Talisman. He realized the historic core of Paris is correlated with the temples of Luxor and Karnak in Egypt. Luxor and Karnak are adjacent ancient temples. Bavall observed that the six-degree angle between the axes of Luxor and Karnak matched the six-degree bend in the Louvre. The temple of Luxor is the one with the embedded six-degree angle. I went a step further and laid the Luxor ground plan over the Louvre and the tulirees garden. The tulirees was laid out by Lennotra at the request of Louie the 14th. We see this direct correlation only when the temple plan is mirrored. Might the sun kings intention have been for Paris to be the mirrored of Luxor? Validation that the temple of Luxor was used as a design template is the fact that the obelisk erected in the Plastile Concord is from the very same temple of Luxor. After the revolution the Luxor obelisk replaced the guillotine in what became known as the Plastile Concord. In an outstanding act of engineering the obelisk was erected by the aforementioned Duke of Orleens sun, who many years after the 1789 revolution became the last king of France. The important thing to recognize here is that the French obsession with hermetic symbolism passed through the revolution completely unscathed. In the early 20th century modern French alchemist Schuallard Alubix lived in Luxor for 15 years. Out of his intensive study came the book the Temple of Man, wherein he showed how the Temple of Luxor represents the body of a man. Now we're really on to something. I see the head here, the neck, the heart, all the way to the small chambers of the intestines here. The obelisk is of course his erect fallus. The ancient Egyptians related the cult of the fallus with the dismemberment of Osiris. Next I overlaid the most famous depiction of the human body ever made, Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian man. See how his leg follows the bend in the scene? These roads follow the angle of his other leg, and the Luxembourg garden seemed to parallel his arm. Could the Vitruvian man be another hidden template in the design of Paris? If so I suspect the man of Paris is Osiris. Thinking on this I started to see energy centers in the part hares of the two lures. At first I thought they were Chakras, but their locations tell a slightly different story. In a normal state of consciousness people don't see Chakras. However as we learned at Shart, Chakras are part of the architecture of the universe we've been investigating. If Chakras exist on another level of reality, call it the atheoric body or aura if you will, then their interface in our everyday reality is controlled by the endocrine system in the physical body. Why do we care? Because stimulating and balancing the endocrine system can lead to states of ecstasy using more of the brain, slowing the aging process, attaining enlightenment, and even experiencing everlasting life as some belief. I was able to pinpoint gland locations in Paris because of another observation. Many famous public spaces have axial streets pointing directly to where the ductless glands would be in the body of a man. The Church of the Madeline and Pelle Bourbon form a cross-axis directly in line with the obelisk in Laplace de la Concorde. On one side we have Napoleon's Church, venerating Mary Magdalene who is said to have started the royal bloodline of the son of God. On the other side is the Pelle Bourbon containing the lower house of the Parliament of Friends, known as the National Assembly. These two Roman-style temples energized the gonads in the body of Paris, on either side of his palace centered on the axe historic. The gland most associated with Enlightenment states is of course the pineal, which actually looks like a tiny pine cone in the center of the human brain. This colossal pine cone is in the courtyard of the Belvedere in the Vatican, a name which recalls the affluent town of the same name overlooking San Francisco. The pine cone is flanked by two peacocks, which are ancient symbols of resurrection that predate Christianity. Believe it or not, there is an empty black coffin I couldn't get a picture of behind the colossal pine cone that symbolizes the death and rebirth of Osiris. The pine cone in the private courtyard is actually a first-century bronze that used to act as a fountain in front of the Temple of ISIS in ancient Rome. In the Renaissance, six to the fifth built the library wing that closed off the courtyard, perhaps in order to hide pagan symbols not easily explained by the Catholic Church. The pineal gland of Paris marks one endpoint of a line starting at the Paris Observatory whose construction was incidentally authorized by Louis XIV. This axis passes directly through the French Senate and the Luxembourg Gardens. This cosmic connection to Enlightenment is not lost on me. Also notable is the fact that nothing aligns with the thymus or throat chakra. As the throat is associated with speaking and communication, it seems appropriate nothing should energize this center if secrecy is to be maintained. Each of the other alignments is an interesting case study for further analysis. Park Montso is right under the Vitruvian Man's foot. His outstretched leg seems to point directly at the rotunda building where the gatekeeper lives. The tiny rotunda was designed by architect Claude Nicolliss L'Adu, an interesting figure to be sure. L'Adu built 63 Tolberrier buildings in the city wall built around Paris in the Anchen regime to collect taxes. This tax wall was universally hated and was torn down during the revolution. When the Paris metro was built, it made sense to dig up the city where the extra space for the wall had been, so metro lines 2 and 6 follow the tax wall boundary. Only three of L'Adu's tax structures remain today, and the rotunda in Park Montso is one of them. I submit that it's no accident that precisely these L'Adu buildings were left intact. We already know about the rotunda, but what is the significance of these other two L'Adu buildings? They're all about solar alignment. The red line pointing to the rotunda del Avilette in Plastollingrad precisely marks the azimuth of summer solstice sunrise. Look at how this water channel continues the alignment. Some other examples of this alignment we've seen before are the line connecting the Vatican Obelisk with the obelisk in Piazza del Popolo and in the orientation of Shart Cathedral. The green line pointing to the barrier de Anfer or Gate of Hell is oriented appropriately do-south. It's called the Gate of Hell because L'Adu's pair of tax collection buildings are immediately adjacent to the entrance of the Paris catacombs. This reminds me of the phrase, nothing is as sure as death in taxes. The yellow line points to the Trocadero in the azimuth of equinoctial sunset. Trocadero marks the beginning of the white axis running through the ifle tower and the Eccola military complex. The white line connects Trocadero to the Gate of Hell but has no astronomical meaning as far as I can tell. The blue line starts at the obelisk at Plaas Fontanoi which is right on the white axis in front of UNESCO. This non-egyptian obelisk commemorates a battle that took place in the year 841 but the obelisk was erected here in 1860. The blue line is precisely the azimuth of winter solstice sunset. Maybe you're wondering where all the colored lines converge. Their common center is precisely at the entrance to the Toularees Garden but why is it there? Before the revolution the Toularees was a royal palace that closed off the Louvre courtyard. The center point of the solar alignments lies directly in front of the entrance to the royal palace. The palace was destroyed in the chaos of the revolution but the alignments remained. Just like the great pyramid of Giza, the Louvre pyramid will yield more secrets upon further analysis. The plan of the Louvre pyramid and the fountain surrounding it is itself a sacred diagram. Referred to as the sacred cut of ad quadratum, the diagram was traditionally used as an astrological house chart in centuries past. Overlaid is the house chart Johannes Kepler made for general Wallenstein in 1608. Yes, that's the same Kepler who discovered the three laws of planetary motion that keep telecommunications satellites in orbit today. Astrology is actually very serious business. The Louvre pyramid acts as entrance to the world's most visited museum. Recall how I overlaid the Vitruvian man only after analyzing the pyramid itself and finding the mark of the beast encoded within. The Vitruvian man's mouth corresponds appropriately with this entrance. So the next time you enter the Louvre pondered symbolism. You are entering the mouth of the beast. Look at what is aligned with this so-called mouth, the Pelae Royale. Central to French history, the Pelae Royale is where many generations of royals lived. Louis XIV grew up there for example. The Duke of Orleans later owned the palace. I was extremely surprised to recognize the five by twelve Jerusalem rectangle precisely framed in the proportions of the royal palace's court of honor. The palace gardens two famous lawns symbolized the two holiest spots in Christianity and Judaism. There is clearly a royal French connection to the ancient mysteries. Royal of Royals, Louis XIV's reign of 72 years was longer and arguably more powerful than any other king in European history. Architect of the Vatican Saint Peter Square, Jean Lorenzo Bernini, allegorically portrayed Louis XIV as Alexander the Great, in the famous equestrian statue located in front of the Louvre pyramid. This statue marks the beginning and faces in the direction of what is called the Axe Historic of Paris. The historical axis runs from the equestrian statue of Louis XIV. Under Napoleon's arch to Triumph to Carousel, through the Toularies, over the Luxor Obelisk, under the arch to Triumph, all the way along the Chans a Lise to its end point within the Grand Arch in La Defonce. French Egyptologist Jean Marcelo Embarrer had this to say about the Axe Historic. I have not verified this, but it is said that the Great Axe is a Masonic alignment and that this is not the result of Chans. It is known that the Freemasons find their origins in ancient Egypt. I have verified that the Axe Historic is indeed aligned to the heliocal rising of Sirius, just as is the older Notre-Dame on the Il de la Cité, whose Axe's parallels the Chans a Lise. Hancock and Bevoltr, traced the origins of this alignment to the fact that Notre-Dame was likely built over an ancient Roman temple of Isis. Notre-Dame or Arlady is therefore a Mary-Vailing Isis. Perhaps even more amazing, Hancock and Bevoltr show the word Paris comes from the melding together of the words, varia Isis, varia or faros in Greek is the island where the wondrous lighthouse of Alexandria was in the center of Isis worship in antiquity. Now let's imagine taking an enlightening ride with the sun king along the Axis he laid out, which was greatly embellished with hidden symbolism by Napoleon, Mittirand and many others on up to the present day. For the first destination, we must travel underground, both under the Earth's surface and below public consciousness. La Pyramid in Versailles is an underground atrium space surrounded by fashionable boutiques. The downward facing pyramid is the symbolic opposite to the famous museum entrance. As the upward pointing pyramid symbolizes a man, the inverted pyramid must therefore represent a woman. In Alchemy, the symbols for fire and water are upward and downward facing triangles. This polarity is also represented in western mysticism as sword and chalice. The chalice in question is of course the holy grail. Going with the holy blood holy grail thesis, it's fitting that Dan Brown chose to portray the location of the tomb of Mary Magdalene right here under the pyramid in Versailles at the end of the Da Vinci Code. If the star of David is the symbol of the union of male and female, then the star tetrahedron is its 3D equivalent. Drun Volomell Kizidex volumes on the ancient secret of the flower of life show the human energy field or Mercaba as its known, takes the form of a star tetrahedron, male and female being in versions of each other. On a higher level, Richard Hoagland has shown how star tetrahedron geometry is implicated in hyper-dimensional energy outflows, coming from planetary cores in our solar system. When a star tetrahedron is inscribed within his fear, its points touch this fear's surface at 19.5 degrees north and south latitude. On earth one of the tetrahedral points is on the Mount of Lowe volcano in Hoaii, which is actually the largest mountain on earth if measured from the seafloor. Similar energy outflows occur at 19.5 degrees north or south, on Mars Olympus Mons, which is the largest mountain in the solar system, in Jupiter's Great Red Spot, and Neptune's Great Dark Spot. Explaining these outflows requires a four-dimensional model of physics, where energy is gated from the sun to the planetary cores through hyperspace. Energy transduced by each planetary body appears to us as heat in 3D, emerging from the most stable of all three-dimensional forms, the star tetrahedron. The simplest way of describing a physics that's based on the same geometry for both planetary and human energy fields would be, as above so below, the hermedic motto. Next on our tour is the Arctatriumph to Carousel built by Napoleon. When you stand directly under the central arch, your body symbolically resonates with the sun. The name Carousel suggests planets revolving about you. The 12 hedges representing constellations of the zodiac radiate like rays of the sun from exactly where you are standing. In addition to the official allegory of peace being guided by Napoleon's victories, the chariot drawn by four horses on top of the arch could just as well be read as the ancient depiction of helios drawn by four horses. The oval that terminates the hedges symbolizes Kepler scientific discovery that planets have elliptical orbits, and the square hedges must be the two-fosaic of the ellipse. Napoleon was most obviously interested in correlating the human body with the sun. Le notra laid out the tulire's garden at the request of the sun king, the garden's proportions, fountains, and partare patterns, amazingly fit the Jerusalem rectangle. See how the fountains are tangent to the X's? The octagonal fountain therefore corresponds with the dome of the rock, and the round fountain with the holy supple-car. Paris is another new Jerusalem. When you train yourself to see her medic symbolism, it starts appearing all over Paris in plain sight. It can be a bit overwhelming. Two equestrian statues flank the entrance to the tulire's from Laplastula Concord. Her exposed breast suggests this goddess might be ISIS. The other writer is Mercury holding the staff of Osiris or Cadusis, which has become the symbol of the medical profession. Here's another possible ISIS in the garden, and another Mercury. This golden boy is the genie of Paris atop the July column commemorating the revolution of 1830. The genie is Mercury himself. The first time heretic symbolism had come completely out into the open in France was during the 1789 revolution. Here's the declaration of the rights of men depicting the all-seeing eye of the supreme being. Incidentally, this design was influenced by Benjamin Franklin, who is something of a freemasonic celebrity in Paris at the time. Franklin helped design the great seal of the United States, which bears the same all-seeing eye. In time for the celebration of the heliical rising of Sirius in 1793, this fountain was erected in Laplastula Bastille. The famous artist, Jacques Louis de Vide, sculpted the fountain of regeneration with ISIS even wearing an Egyptian headdress. The water streaming out of her breasts recalls the image of St Bernard de Clérevo, receiving milk from the virgin. In how can we forget this view? The Eiffel Tower is Fallicevo Cyrus, with the statue of Liberty replica on the scene as his sister bride. The largest square in Paris is up next on the ISIS axis. Believe it or not, Laplastula Concord has an area of precisely 86,400 square meters. Remember the 864 foot high trans America pyramid and the 864,000 feet from Stonehenge to Silverie Hill? You see it doesn't matter if we're talking metric or imperial units, with shifted decimal places. What matters are the numbers. The fact is the Sun's diameter is 864,000 miles, and there are 86,400 seconds in a mean solar day. The area of the plosse thus confirms it as a solar symbol. The cars are likened to planets wandering around the elliptical traffic circle. The twin fountain symbolized the watery galactic midplane of the Milky Way, just as they do in front of the Vatican. That makes the shanslizae the Ecliptic. The Notre-Design Laplastia-12, where the Arctic Trial stands today. Standing at the center of the place of the star, the ceremonial arch is read literally as a stargate. 12 streets radiating outward represent Azodiac. The triumphal arch originally honored the warriors who fought for France in the Napoleonic Wars, and it later became the tomb of the unknown soldier. The eternal flame under the arch might be another solar reference. There's certainly a lot of sun worship going on in Paris. Napoleon invaded Egypt in 1798, and not even counting the Egyptians, the French death toll came to more than 20,000 souls. After France's great defeat, Napoleon was asked why he decided in the first place to invade Egypt. He said, I came to draw attention and bring back the interest of Europe to the center of the ancient world. While the campaign was raging, Napoleon spent a night alone in the great pyramid, and when asked about his experience, he supposedly said, you wouldn't believe me if I told you. Moving on toward the strange attractor at the end of the axis, we finally conclude our journey through space and time at La Grande Arch. Contemporaneous with the Louth Pyramid, the Grand Arch was also built at the request of President Mittirand. This time Mittirand held a national design competition, but personally selected architect Johann Otto von Spreckelson in the end anyway. Unfortunately, Spreckelson died before the project was completed. The location of the Grand Arch has a special relationship to the Arctatriomph, the Luxor Abelisk, and the Arctatriomph to Carousel. All four monuments are spaced in such a way to create this approximate doubling pattern, suggesting musical octaves. In addition, the Arctatriomph is roughly double the size of the Arctatriomph to Carousel, and the Grand Arch is about double the size of the Arctatriomph. In the scaling of these three arches, I see three stargates representing the human, planetary, and stellar bodies, just as we saw symbolized with cubes in London and DC. Notre Dame Cathedral fits perfectly inside the Grand Arch. I'm guessing this is no accident. A tune in three octaves, if you will. I call it the symphony of the stargates. The dimensions of the monumental structure are cubic, with edge length measuring approximately 110 meters, or 360 feet. Researcher Jim Allison realized that 360 feet is also precisely equal to 210 Egyptian royal cubits. And I see that the office windows inside the arch are arranged in groups of 210, providing validation of this metrology. The exterior side symbolic measure depicts 22 over 7 in meters. 22 over 7 is of course an approximation of pi. 12 columns internally support the structure, and a zodiac is literally depicted in the basement floor, making the arch yet another form of sun worship. The sides of the monumental arch actually contain some 40,000 square meters of office space. Multi-purpose rooms in the basement measure 400 square meters each. These numbers got me thinking. 40,400 are very interesting numbers. To appreciate this, let's start with the metric system. The metric system was originally defined by measuring the earth. The original prime meridian passed through the Paris Observatory and continued all the way around the earth. This circumference was defined as 40,000 kilometers in the 18th century, and this serve to define the metric system. There are 121 documented bronze medallions marked ergo after the French astronomer embedded in streets and sidewalks in a line crossing Paris. These medallions marked the line of the Paris prime meridian that was used in France for 200 years. This line touches the corner of one of the lues satellite pyramids. Perhaps this is why the smaller pyramids are there. The meter is the basic unit of length in science today. The meter's definition moved from being based in earth measure to a prototype bar to being circularly defined in terms of the speed of light, which is itself measured in meters per second. Christopher Knight and Alan Butler's book, Who Built the Moon, is really an eye opener. Although I don't agree with their thesis that the moon is an artificial satellite, they have discovered numbers relating sun-moon and earth that are too perfect to be the product of random chance. For example, consider a solar eclipse. When one happens, the moon completely covers the sun disk. The only reason this can occur so precisely is because the moon is exactly 400 times smaller than the sun, and happens to be 400 times closer than the sun during the eclipse. The earth also turns 400 times faster than the moon. The odds of these three seemingly unrelated characteristics would all converge on the number 400 is literally astronomical. As I already mentioned, the Axis Historic is aligned with the heliocal rising of Sirius, known as the Star of Isis, but the grand arch is turned approximately six degrees with respect to this axis. This is of course no accident. Everything has a purpose. Can you imagine the mind-boggling planning that went into the grand arch alone? Ground-breaking architectural design that ties together layer upon layer of hidden symbolism, completing the hermedic masterpiece that is Paris. Jim Allison has found what the grand arch is pointing to. Are you ready for this? It points to the birthplace of Isis in Dendara Egypt. This tiny, unassuming temple, out and back of the larger half-or temple, is known as the traditional birthplace of Isis. The location of the small cube within the larger enclosure matches the azimith where the grand arch is facing. Remember that the heliocal rising of Sirius was the basis of the ancient Egyptian calendar. Well, here is where all of that started. This is where ancient Egyptian priests saw her bright star rising just before the dawn, signaling the beginning of a new year. Isn't it amazing that the shanslise and Pennsylvania Avenue shared the same astronomical orientation with this tiny backwater in modern Egypt? Backwater, it may be today, but symbolically it's the holiest place in the cultivisus. Napoleon came here and had a master Mason cut out this massive ceiling from the adjacent temple and ship it back to Paris. It's called the Dendara zodiac and is now suspended in the Louvre. As you can see, the Dendara zodiac has octagram star symmetry. More than a zodiac, it is a planisphere showing the whole cosmology as seen through Egyptian eyes. Another Louvre ceiling that gets to the essence of things, its Francois Edward Picose, study and genius reveal ancient Egypt and Greece. Hancock and Bevol recognize the importance of this heretic work in their book Talisman. The painting allows the viewer to see ISIS unveiled for Athena. This unveiling references Plutarch's first century depiction of her temple at Sice, where it was inscribed. I am all that has been, and is, and shall be, my veil no mortal have ever raised. The term genius in the title is the epithet of the divine messenger Mercury, who is introducing Athena to ISIS. I think the Western world exemplified by Athena, is being introduced to the older stream of knowledge coming out of Egypt. As I can attest, the term study in the title refers to the intensive research required to uncover the deep Egyptian connections that the elite is so clearly obsessed with. Returning to Paris, let's look at the grand arch with fresh eyes. Remember that everything has a reason. The grand arch is in law defense, the modern section of Paris. Why? We need a modern mathematical understanding to perceive its deepest symbol and to recognize it for what it truly is, a three-dimensional shadow of a hypercube. Come again, what is a hypercube? If the square is 2D, the cube is 3D, and the hypercube is the 4D equivalent. Here's what a cube looks like when it's being rotated. Here's what rotating a hypercube looks like in three-dimensional projection. The fourth dimension is hard to imagine because it's literally beyond us. You might be interested to learn that four spatial dimensions were known far before the birth of modern science. Here is what St. Bernard de Clarevo wrote to his former disciple who became Pope Eugene III. What is God? He is length, width, height, and depth. There are four spatial terms used. Bernard described the fourth dimension in the 12th century. St. Paul also described four dimensions in the first century. That Christ made well in your hearts by faith that ye being rooted and grounded in love may be able to comprehend with all saints. What is the breadth and length and depth and height? And to know the love of Christ, which passed the knowledge that ye may be filled with all the fullness of God. Four centuries before Paul, Plato even described higher dimensional reality in his allegory of the cave, which goes something like this. We are prisoners chained in a cave and sit facing a blank wall. There's a fire outside the cave and unseen people are passing in front of it. We see shadows on the wall and mistake this illusion for reality. I think we are kept in the dark about a great many things. Notice how the hypercube's shadow in 3D projection looks like a cube within a cube. The structure is fractal, meaning the same pattern repeats at different scales. We've seen things like this before in cities, buildings, and art. Consider the fractal-like city of London within greater London, that a conciedity within Rome, and the United Nations headquarters within New York City. On the scale of a building, take a look at the dome of the chains, standing immediately outside the dome of the rock. It's the same structure repeated in a smaller scale, hinting at a higher dimensional connection for those who have eyes to read the symbolism. Examples from art are Pomodoro's series of golden spheres within spheres, scattered strategically in the Vatican, UN headquarters, museums, and D.C. and San Francisco. The sacred Egyptian cubit is a unit of measure reserved for measuring the earth. One sacred cubit is equal to 6 over 5 raised to the fourth power in English feet. Think about it. Raising to the fourth power means the sacred cubit is literally a hypercubit. Michelle and Heath have found there are 10 million hypercubits in the earth's polar radius, and 63 million hypercubits in its maridians or comference. Now these amazingly round numbers measure our planet with remarkable accuracy. How can this be? Some physicists believe the universe is made of 10 dimensional superstrings, but six of them have curled up into unimaginably small size. The four remaining dimensions express the architecture of the universe. Recall how I saw in the union of both Luth pyramids, the knowledge of how energy flows from the sun through hyperspace into planetary bodies. In addition, the earth is measured by a hypercubit, whose edge length of 6 over 5 relates macrocosm to microcosm. The earth is therefore a hyperdimensional object, even though with our normal perception we experience both the earth and ourselves as being only three-dimensional. Another projection of the hypercub into two dimensions looks like this. Do you see the octagram star within? This is where it all comes from. The sun is a hypercub. Recall Metatron's Cube. Now that we understand the grand arch, we perceive Metatron's cube as Metatron's hypercub. This four-d solar symbol appropriately contains the 3-d star tetrahedron and the 2-d star of David. We see now why these sacred diagrams are both called stars, because they are projections of our sun, which is itself a star. To make all of this four-dimensional geometry easier to understand, it helps to bring it down level. Enfolding a square gives you a line. Unfolding a cardboard cube gives you a cross. Unfolding a hypercub gives you a cross made of cubes. Salvador Dali started with this idea when he painted the Corpus Hypercubis. He depicts the crucifixion, yes, but what is he really saying? Corpus Hypercubis is the ascended body as hypercub. In analytic cubism, the art movement that anticipated Dali's surrealism, Picasso and Brock depicted objects from a multitude of viewpoints in an effort to see all sides at once. Of all the myriad forms in existence, why did they choose a cube to symbolize their art movement? Could these cubists have been privy to secret knowledge that inspired their attempt to paint the fourth dimension, or did they follow unconscious synchromistic inspiration? Food for thought. So now we have the human body, the earth, and the sun symbolized as hypercubes. Three cubes if you want to use a 3D symbol. So which is it? It's actually all of the above. The human planetary and stellar scales resonate as a fractal structure within the holographic universe. In simpler terms, as above, so below. Metatron's hypercub as Enox hypercub reveals the cosmic man. Enox triangle had the ineffable name of God written on it. Here is that name in Hebrew, which is a language read from right to left. Standing the letters up, we see the depiction of a man made in God's image. The cosmic man is Plato's world soul, alchemy's enema mundi, and the cobblas Adam Cadmon. Here is a piece of my own artwork showing Adam Cadmon emerging from the Tree of Life. If the human body is a temple, then this temple is much more vast and interconnected than we ever imagined. The human energy form resonates with the esoteric architecture of the universe. What we know as the history of civilization is only a very small part of our past. There is something extraordinary about our beginnings, not written about in history books. The oldest surviving temples encoded an understanding of earth moon and sun that is in some ways more advanced than modern science. To catch up with ancient knowledge, a broad interdisciplinary approach is clearly indicated. Specialists in art history, archaeology, architecture, philosophy, semiotics, mathematics, physics, and many others will need to cooperate in new ways. By seriously studying Stonehenge and the Great Pyramid, we've seen how people living at the dawn of civilization possess the ability to accurately measure the size of the earth and to survey long distances with a precision rivaling GPS satellites. Logically, our civilization must therefore be a legacy from an earlier civilization. Whether this was Atlantis and or an off-world civilization, I cannot presently say with certainty. The rediscovery of the importance of number, geometry, music and astronomy should rekindle interest in ancient Egyptian knowledge passed down to us by philosophers such as Pythagoras and Plato. Understanding how the macrocosm and microcosm are related through the art of sacred geometry, in the act of measuring structures and the earth, is a thing of profound beauty. Relating sixes to fives by drawing hexagons and pentagons in the landscape, or by measuring with Egyptian units are brilliant examples of this ancient science at work. Finding Pythagorean triangles, five by twelve rectangles, pyramids, octagrams, enliagrams, and zodiacs encoded in much of the world's great architecture and urban design, exposes an obsession with ancient symbolism spanning the centuries. The designers take this symbolism so seriously, then there must really be power in ancient knowledge. Putting this story together has been by far the most challenging and satisfying project of my professional life. I hope you've enjoyed it, and I invite your participation in uncovering more secrets in plain sight. This is Scott Onsdott, and I thank you for sharing my journey.
