EL STONEHENGE AMERICANO, EN UNA MISMA LINEA CON TEOTIHUACAN, NEW YORK, EL STONEHENGE BRITANICO Y EL LIBANO (ANTIGUA FENICIA-PHOENIX, EN EL PARALELO 33, QUE ES EL PARALELO DEL GRIAL)
Phoenician Ties to Canaanites
The inscriptions at the site represent markings in Ogham, Phoenician, and Iberian scripts. Phoenicians are ties to this place because the “BAAL Stone” which was found on the Mystery Hill land reveals an interesting inscription, “To Baal on behalf of the Canaanites, this is dedicated.” Baal was the most infamous Phoenician god.
Upton Chamber
This building known as the Upton Chamber, one of the many, was what they called, “unexplained stone works” of the area. But, it is also an extraordinary building due to the fact that it is one of the largest and most perfectly built stone chambers in New England, and is all underground.
Watch Tower
Known as the Watch Tower and Watch house, this structure leads into a larger interior space. The chamber contains a high percentage of white quartz, a stone found in many Neolithic structures worldwide and treasured by ancient people for its reflective qualities. This chamber is aligned to the February sunrise and lunar minor south. At sunrise on this date the sunlight enters the entrance of the chamber and slowly moves along one wall until it illuminates the quartz crystals at the back wall, making the semi-precious gems sparkle noticeably.
Various websites on the internet claim the stones of Limestone, Quartz, and Megnetite have amazing abilities to generate residual haunting. This is said to be an event of the past which gets imprinted at a certain location and is released into the world. Quartz cut at an angle on it’s axis, with pressure on it generated a minute electrical charge. It transmits short light waves (ultraviolet) better than glass.
I personally believe that these stones are able to perform more paranormal activities than current scientific evidence can prove.
I also think that these antiquated and modern visits from these ‘sky gods’ who these people around the world worship.
The Oracle Chamber
It too bears a striking resemblance to altar stones found at megalithic sites in Europe. And we do know that blood sacrifice and altars such as these were connected firmly to Neolithic religions.
Another frequently occurring megalithic structure familiar to all readers is the stone circle. We know of the great Stonehenge complex in England with its huge Sarcen (meaning “heathen stones” and derived from the word Saracen) stones found there and the many calendrical alignments they delineate. But there are ancient stone circles in New England as well.

Sacrificial Table/Clock
The program inferred this table to a clock, but many other prehistoric sites like this one reveals sacrifices to Baal were a main objective in the worship sequence. This table has grooves which lend the path for blood flow to be caught into a basin beneath the table. A sound effect could be heard from this very spot from the underground Oracle Chamber if one were to speak. This is called Archaeolacoustics and is seen in sites from Mexico pyramids to the Egypt Giza.
This land contains other anomalies which I found to be interesting on Google Earth. A Triangle marks this circumference of this ancient site. Then we also see a * in the ground. A symbol of the star? Or something else? We find this symbol in other ancient and modern pictures/pictographs.
HERE:
Connections Far & Wide
Purposely shrouded in mystery, these kinds of sites reveal astronomical alignments. Archaeoastromony is the use of the Sun, Moon, stars and planets in archeological architecture and design.
Places all around the earth present us with many interesting theories and questions. But what I really find interesting is the FACT that these sites align. Yes, align.
If you bring up GOOGLE EARTH, you can use the map tool and designate the beginning spot at BAALBEK, Beriut…yes the place where the Phoenicians (also called Canaanites in the Bible), to the site here in New Hampshire (America’s Stonehenge) to Mexico! In Mexico, the Pyramid of Niches, also called the “Place of the Dead” aligns to these landmarks. It is also called “PLACE OF THE INVISIBLE BEINGS OR SPIRITS”.
Connecting the New World to the Old World
From Baalbek to New Hampshire down to Mexico, we have sites which can be connected to the mythological legends of Phoenicians (Canaanites) to Atlantis then to the Fallen Angels.
Call it what you will…theory to fact there is no denying that we live in a strange world.
Swedish Stonehenge
Ancient Scandinavians seemed to have arranged their own Stonehenge. Archeologists agree it was assembled more than 1000 years ago, some say 2500!
It too is an astronomical calendar with the same underlying geometry as England’s Stonehenge.

Gobekli Tepe, Turkey-Mount Nemrut …198 feet of that mountain is completely artificially covered with the same size stones. 30 acres of limestone pillars placed in circles twelve thousand years ago.

Giant Wheels
The area near the Azraq Oasis in Jordan has hundreds of wheels. These structures made of stone date back at least 2000 years. Often found on the lava fields, these strange anomalies were said to be used as a cemetery.
ISRAEL’S STONEHENGE
“The Circle of the Rafaim” or “Wheel of the Rafaim” is one of the most mysterious archeological sites in the world. It is a monument! This monument consists of five concentric stone rings whose diameter is 165 meters. The best preserved of these are the outermost; whose height reaches two meters with a thickness of 3.3 meters.
The central dolmen is built from relatively smaller rocks. Connecting it to are four main stone walls. The first wall, shaped like a semicircle, is 50m in diameter and 1.5m wide. That wall is connected to a second one, an almost complete circle 90m in diameter. The third wall is a full circle, 110m in diameter and 2.6m wide. The fourth and outermost wall is the largest: 150m in diameter and 3.2m wide.
The circles are connected by smaller stone walls. In the center is a mound, or dolmen, approximately 20 meters in diameter and 5 m in height. Some of the stones are used to create the ring weighing 20 tons.
The total weight of the stones is 37,000 tons. In the middle of the rings is a cairn, topped by a tumulus, measuring twenty meters across. Despite the obvious attraction to archaeologists, the rings remained hidden while the suspicious Syrian regimes held the Golan Heights and were only opened to inspection after Israel won the area in the Six Day War of 1967.
Gilgal Refaim גלגל רפאים, is a stone circle and ancient megalithic monument in the Golan Heights, not far from Gamla, some 16 kilometers east of the eastern coast of the Sea of Galilee, in the middle of a large plateau covered with hundreds of dolmens. Nearby is an ancient settlement dating from the Early Bronze Age.
The complex comprises more than 42,000 basalt rocks, arranged in circles. In the center is a mound 5-6 meters tall, from which protrude several layers of stone walls. Some of the walls form complete circles, and others incomplete. The outermost wall has a circumference of close to half a kilometer, and a diameter of more than 150 meters. The site was probably built during the Copper Age, and is estimated to be about 5,000 years old. There are several hypotheses about the site’s purpose, ranging from a calendar, to a tomb or site of worship.
In 1968 Harvard University and Prof. Anthony Aveni of Colgate University discovered that in 3000 BCE, the first rays of the summer solstice would have appeared directly through the northeast opening as seen from the central tumulus. At the same time, the southeast opening provided a direct view of Sirius.
Moshe Hartal, Chief Archaeologist of the Golan explains, “We have identified 8,500 dolmens of twenty separate styles on the Golan Heights. Each tribe had its own dolmen style. The biggest dolmen stones weigh over 50 tons and are seven meters in height. Graves are found within some domens but not all.

Baalbek
De Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre
- Este artículo es sobre Heliópolis syriae (en el actual Líbano). Para otros usos ver Heliópolis (desambiguación)
Baalbek, en árabe Ba'lbakk (بعلبك), es actualmente una localidad de Líbano de 25.000 habitantes a 86 km al este de Beirut. La economía se basa en el cultivo de viñas y árboles frutales. En la antigüedad fue un santuario fenicio dedicado al dios Baal; fue ciudad griega, y a partir de la época de los seléucidas se le llamó Heliópolis, siendo colonia romana desde Augusto. Según algunas versiones cristianas Santa Bárbara (mártir) vivió en esta ciudad.
Es uno de los yacimientos arqueológicos más importantes del cercano oriente, declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco en 1984. Es notable una zona de templos de entre los siglos I-III d.C. en honor de la Tríada heliopolitana: Júpiter, Mercurio y Venus. Las primeras excavaciones se iniciaron hacia 1900.
Historia del yacimiento[editar]
Los orígenes de Baalbek se remontan a dos asentamientos cananitas que las excavaciones arqueológicas bajo el templo de Júpiter han permitido datar su antigüedad, siendo de la edad del bronce antigua (2900-2300 a. C.) y media (1900-1600 a. C.).
La etimología del topónimo está relacionada al sustantivo bá'al o bēl que en varias lenguas del área semítida noroccidental (como el hebreo o el acadio) significa "señor". El término Baalbek significaría entonces "señor de la Bekaa" y estaría, probablemente, relacionado con el oráculo y el santuario dedicado al dios Baal o Bēl (a menudo identificado como Hadad, dios del sol, de la tempestad y de la fertilidad de la tierra) y a Anat, diosa de la violencia y de la guerra, hermana y consorte de Baal (más tarde se identificaría con Astarté), quizá asociada a Tammuz (más adelante identificado con Adonis), dios de la regeneración primaveral. Las prácticas religiosas de estos templos contemplaban seguramente, como en otras culturas vecinas, la prostitución sacra, los sacrificios animales (y quizá también humanos) y las ofrendas rituales a las divinidades.
La ciudad, situada en una posición favorable desde el punto de vista estratégico, cerca de las fuentes de los ríos Orontes y Litani, no tendría de todas maneras, al menos inicialmente, un importante valor comercial y estratégico, no siendo mencionada en las fuentes egipcias y asirias.
La identificación con la bíblica Baal-Gad (Libro de Josué 11,17; 12,7), recogida como el límite septentrional de la conquista de Josué, es hoy contestada, sosteniendo más bien que la localidad bíblica se debe identificar con la ciudad de Ḥāṣbayyā, en el sureste de Líbano, o tal vez con Bāniyās (la antigua Cesarea de Filipo), sobre los Altos del Golán.
Fase helenística[editar]
El historiador hebreo Flavio Josefo (siglo I) recoge el paso de Alejandro Magno por Baalbek en su marcha hacia Damasco. En la época helenística, bajo el dominio de la Dinastía Ptolemaica, y a partir de 198 a. C. por el Imperio Seléucida, la ciudad fue rebautizada con el nombre de Heliópolis ("ciudad del sol"). Los soberanos ptolemaicos favorecieron probablemente la identificación del dios Baal con el dios del sol egipcio, Ra, y el dios griego Helios, con el fin de cementar una mayor fusión cultural en el interior de sus propios territorios.
El patio del templo fue modificado en su extremidad occidental, iniciándose la construcción de un templo de formas griegas por el cual se construye una gigantesca plataforma (88 por 48 metros). Para esta construcción son empleados bloques colosales: los tres que constituyen el llamado τρίλιθον (trilithon) pesan cerca de 750 toneladas cada uno, mientras un cuarto bloque, de dimensiones incluso mayores (21,5 metros de longitud, con una sección cuadrada de 4,3 metros de lado), hoy conocido con el nombre de ﺣﺠﺮ ﺍﻠﺤﺒﻠﻰ (ḥaǧar al-ḥublā o "piedra de la gestante"), fue abandonado en la cantera.
Fase romana[editar]
Tras la conquista romana de la ciudad en el 64 a. C., la divinidad del santuario fue identificada con Júpiter, conservando todavía alguno de las características de la antigua divinidad indígena y asumiendo la forma y el nombre de Júpiter Heliopolitano. El dios estaba representado con rayos en las manos y encuadrado entre dos toros, el animal que acompañaba al dios Baal. Los otros dioses asociados fueron identificados con Venus y Baco. El culto asume un carácter mítico y misterioso, lo que favoreció probablemente su difusión.
En el 15 a. C. el santuario entró a formar parte del territorio de la Colonia Iulia Augusta Felix Beritus, actual Beirut. La edificación del templo fue nuevamente emprendida sobre la plataforma helenística y concluye en diversas etapas: el templo propio y verdadero (templo de Júpiter), fue terminado en el 60, bajo Nerón. A la vez es edificado el altar a torre que precede al templo. Bajo Trajano (98-117) se inició la construcción del gran patio. Bajo Antonino Pío (138-161) es erigido el templo de Baco. Los trabajos, incluso aquellos referidos al templo de Venus, fueron completados durante la dinastía de los Severos, particularmente durante el gobierno de Caracalla (211-217). Bajo Filipo el Árabe (244-249), emperador romano de la vecina Damasco, fue construido el patio hexagonal del santuario.
En esta época Heliópolis, elevada por Septimio Severo (193-211) al rango de colonia de derecho itálico con el nombre de Colonia Iulia Augusta Felix Heliopolis”, se convierte en el centro principal de la provincia de Siria-Fenicia, instituida en el 194 con capital en Tiro.
Fase árabe-islámica[editar]
El "Gran Patio" del Templo de Júpiter.
Descubrimiento europeo y misiones arqueológicas[editar]
Las columnas del templo de Júpiter.
En el siglo XVIII los exploradores europeos descubrieron las ruinas del santuario y reportaron detalladas descripciones y planos del lugar. En el 1751 Robert Wood describe las ruinas como entre las obras más audaces de la arquitectura de la antigüedad. Quedaban en pie nueve columnas del templo de Júpiter, pero tres se derrumbaron, posiblemente como consecuencia del terremoto del 1759. Otros viajeros fueron Volney (1871), Cassas (1875), Laborde (1837) y David Roberts (1839).
Una primera expedición científica fue realizada en el 1873 por el Fondo de Exploraciones de Palestina, y siguió de una visita del emperador Guillermo II de Alemania que llevó al establecimiento de una misión arqueológica alemana (1898-1905), dirigida por Otto Puchstein, durante la cual fueron efectuadas las primeras restauraciones. Después de la Primera Guerra Mundial, se establecieron otras misiones durante el Mandato francés, obra de C. Virolleaud, R. Dassaud, S. Ronzevalle, H. Seyrig, D. Schlumberger, F. Anus, P. Coupel y P. Collard. Luego de la independencia de Líbano, en el 1943, las operaciones de restauración y conservación pasaron a ser jurisdicción de Servicio de la Antigüedad del Líbano. En 1984 el yacimiento de Baalbek es inscrito en las listas de los Patrimonio de la Humanidad de la Unesco.
Descripción del santuario[editar]
Esquema planimétrico del santuario de Júpiter y del templo de Baco (A : templo de Júpiter; B : templo de Baco; C : Patio hexagonal; D: Gran patio.).
Fueron construidos en los inicios del siglo III, en la época de Caracalla encima de una escalinata monumental y constituían el acceso al área sagrada del templo de Júpiter. En origen formaban parte de una fachada de 12 columnas, entre dos torres muy altas, sobre la que se asentaba un frontón.
En el muro restante se abría un ingreso central por el arco y dos pasos laterales, que más tarde fueron tapiados. El muro estaba decorado por dos pisos de hornacinas que en origen debían albergar estatuas, encuadradas por un pequeño santuario con frontones alternativamente triangulares y arqueados, sostenidos por lesenas de orden corintio en la planta baja y de orden jónico en la planta superior.
Patio hexagonal[editar]
De los propileos se accedía a un patio de planta hexagonal (mitad del siglo III, bajo Filipo el Árabe), circundado por pórticos que se abría sobre el fondo con exedras rectangulares, un templo ricamente decorado. El patio sufrió importantes modificaciones en la época en la que fue instalada la capilla dedicada a la Virgen y sucesivamente por la transformación en bastión defensivo de la ciudadela árabe.
Templo de Baco[editar]
Fachada lateral del templo de Baco.
Elevado sobre un podio de 5 metros de altura, mide 69 por 36 metros y se accede a él por una escalinata con 33 peldaños. Estaba precedido por patio porticado con un acceso monumental. Se remonta a la mitad del siglo II (Antonio Pío, 128-161) y se trata de un templo períptero con ocho columnas sobre el frente ("octástilo") y quince sobre los lados largos, estando muy bien conservado (salvo el techo de la cella y parte de las columnas laterales). Las columnas estriadas alcanzaban con basa y capitel una altura de 19 metros y también en este caso el friso estaba decorado con prótomes de toros y leones.

The Georgia Guidestones
Introduction
In Elbert County, Georgia (USA), there is a nearly 6m tall monument made of six astronomically aligned granite slabs; there is a capstone, one slab stands in the center, and around it stand four vertical slabs. The north/south pair of vertical granite is aligned to the poles. The central hollow of the structure is designed to be lit by light from the sun at noontime no matter the time of year. The entire monument weighs in at an appreciable 118 tons, and is fitted with a small hole that will allow one to stand at the base and observe the North Star. An additional stone tablet, which is set in the ground a short distance to the west of the structure, provides some clarifying notes on the history and purpose of the Guidestones.
The Georgia Guidestones are supposed to be a Stonehenge replica of sorts, but also a time capsule, and a Rosetta Stone to mutant societies of the far-flung future.
A message consisting of a set of ten guidelines or principles is engraved on the Georgia Guidestones
in eight different languages, one language on each face of the four large upright stones.
Location
Coordinates: 34°13′55″N 82°53′40″W Google Earth: 34.231944, -82.894444
The Georgia Guidestones are located on a hilltop in Elbert County, Georgia, approximately 90 miles (145 kilometers) east of Atlanta, 45 miles (72 km) from Athens (precise distance is 44.3322 miles), GA and 9 miles (15 kilometers) north of the center of Elberton. The stones are standing on a rise a short distance to the east of Georgia Highway 77 (Hartwell Highway), and are visible from that road. Small signs beside the highway indicate the turnoff for the Guidestones, which is identified by a street sign as "Guidestones Rd."
Astronomical Alignment
An eye-level, oblique hole is drilled from the South to the North side of the center, Gnomon stone, so that the North Star is always visible, symbolizing constancy and orientation with the forces of nature.
A slot is cut in the middle of the gnomon stone to form a window which aligns with the positions of the rising sun at the Summer and Winter Solstices and at the Equinox, so that the noon sun shines to indicate noon on a curved line.
The cap stone includes a calendar of sorts, where sunlight beams through a 7/8 inch hole at noon, and shines on the South face of the center stone. As the sun makes its travel cycle, the spot beamed through the hole can tell the day of the year at noon each day. Allowances are made because of variations between standard time and sun time to set the beam of sunlight at an equation of time.
The site was chosen because it commands a view to the East and to the West and is within the range of the Summer and Winter sunrises and sunsets. The stones are oriented in those directions.
History
Joe H. Fendley, Sr., Elberton Granite Finishing Company Inc.'s President, said it all began late on a Friday afternoon in June 1979 when a well-dressed and articulate man walked into his offices in Elberton and wanted to know the cost of building a large monument to conservation. He identified himself as "Mr. Christian." He told Fendley that he represented a small group of loyal Americans living outside Georgia who wished to remain anonymous forever, and that he chose the name "Christian" because he was a Christian. He inquired where Fendley banked and Joe put him in touch with both local banks. Wyatt C. Martin, President of the Granite City Bank, was selected by "Mr. Christian" to be the intermediary for the mysterious project.
According to Martin, the man showed up at his office 30 minutes later, explained the project, and said after completion he hoped other conservation-minded groups would erect even more stones in an outer ring and carry the monuments message in more languages. He told Martin that he wanted the monument erected in a remote area away from the main tourist centers. The gentleman also said that Georgia was selected because of the availability of excellent granite, generally mild climate, and the fact that his great-grandmother was a native Georgian.
Martin persuaded the mystery man that Elbert County was the ideal location for the memorial; and he agreed, provided a suitable location could be found. He returned later and he and Martin inspected sites. "Mr. Christian", who now called himself "R. C. Christian", chose a five-acre plot on the farm of contractor Wayne Mullenix. It is the highest point in Elbert County. A few weeks later , Martin contacted Joe Findley and told him that funds for the project were in an escrow account and to start work immediately. Martin promised that when the project was completed, he would deliver his file on the affair to the anonymous sponsors and that the secret would never be known.
He said "Christian" told him that the sponsors had planned the monument for years and that the ten "guides" for the conservation of mankind and the earth were carefully worded as a moralistic appeal to all peoples of nationality, religion, or politics.

The project was one of the most challenging ever for his quarrying and monument manufacturing concern - partly because of the magnitude of the materials and partly because of the exacting specifications from the mysterious group of sponsors, "and those specifications were so precise that they had to be compiled by experts on stone as well as construction," said Fendley.
The main cluster was completed on March 22, 1980, using granite quarried from nearby Elberton.
The message
A message consisting of a set of ten guidelines or principles is engraved on the Georgia Guidestones in eight different languages, one language on each face of the four large upright stones. Moving clockwise around the structure from due north, these languages are: English, Spanish, Swahili, Hindi, Hebrew, Arabic, ancient Chinese, and Russian.

A shorter message appears on the four vertical surfaces of the capstone, again in a different language and script on each face.
The explanatory tablet near the Guidestones identifies these languages/scripts as Babylonian Cuneiform (north), Classical Greek (east), Sanskrit (south), and Egyptian Hieroglyphs (west), and provides what is presumably an English translation:
"Let these be guidestones to an age of reason."
The phrase Let these be guidestones to an age of reason is a reference to the book, The Age of Reason, by Thomas Paine and appears to be a nod to Thomas Carlyle's Sartor Resartus.
Explanatory tablet
A few feet to the west of the artifact, an additional granite ledger has been set level with the ground. This tablet identifies the structure and the languages used on it, lists various facts about the size, weight, and astronomical features of the stones, the date it was installed, and the sponsors of the project. It also speaks of a time capsule buried under the tablet, but the positions on the stone reserved for filling in the dates on which the capsule was buried and is to be opened are missing, so it is not clear whether the time capsule was ever put in place. The tablet is with one edge to each of the cardinal directions, and is inscribed such that the northern edge is the "top" of the inscription.
The explanatory tablet, immediately west of the edifice. Click to enlarge.
The complete text of the explanatory tablet is detailed below.
The accompanying image shows the overall layout. The tablet is somewhat inconsistent with respect to punctuation, and also misspells "pseudonym".
The original spelling, punctuation, and line breaks in the text have been preserved in the transcription which follows.
The text of the tablet is as follows:
At the center of each tablet edge is a small circle, each containing a letter representing the appropriate compass direction (N, S, E, W).
At the top center of the tablet is written:
THE GEORGIA GUIDESTONES
CENTER CLUSTER ERECTED MARCH 22, 1980
Immediately below this is the outline of a square, inside which is written:
LET THESE BE
GUIDESTONES
TO AN AGE
OF REASON
Around the edges of the square are written the names of four ancient scripts/languages, one per edge. Starting from the top and proceeding clockwise, they are:
BABYLONIAN CUNEIFORM
CLASSICAL GREEK
SANSKRIT
EGYPTIAN HIEROGLYPHICS
("Egyptian Hieroglyphics" is not properly the name of a script; a better name would be "Demotic.")
On the left side of the tablet is the following column of text:
ASTRONOMIC FEATURES:
- CHANNEL THROUGH STONE
INDICATES CELESTIAL POLE.
- HORIZONTAL SLOT INDICATES
ANNUAL TRAVEL OF SUN.
- SUNBEAM THROUGH CAPSTONE
MARKS NOONTIME THROUGHOUT

The words appear as shown under the time capsule heading; no dates are engraved. (The word pseudonym is misspelled on the stone.)
On the right side of the tablet is the following column of text:

Below the two columns of text is written the caption:
GUIDESTONE LANGUAGES:
Below this is a schematic diagram of the upright stones of the structure, consisting of a small rectangle surrounded by four longer rectangles projecting to the northwest, northeast, southwest and southeast. The names of eight modern languages are inscribed along the long edges of the projecting rectangles, one per edge. Starting from due north and moving clockwise around the diagram (so that the upper edge of the northeast rectangle is listed first), they are:
ENGLISH
SPANISH
SWAHILI
HINDI
HEBREW
ARABIC
CHINESE
RUSSIAN
At the bottom center of the tablet is the following text:

The Controversy
The Guidestones are of particular interest to mystery fans and conspiracy theorists.
The specific world population guideline: "Maintain Humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with Nature" is interpreted by some conspiracy theorists as call for eradication of over 90% of the current world’s population ( 6.8 billion in April 2009).
The next item: "GUIDE REPRODUCTION WISELY — IMPROVING FITNESS AND DIVERSITY" sounds a little like eugenics, which still bears a vile stigma after the way the Nazis wanted to breed undesired traits from the world.
Despite of controversy, perhaps we shouldn’t bother destroying the monument regardless of whether we agree with its sentiments or not; if there is to be an age of reason...

En el Líbano de hoy, se encuentra a 1150 m sobre el nivel del mar, las mayores ruinas
de templos del mundo. Baalbek, la ciudad del hijo del dios Baal, también llamada Heliopolis,
residencia del dios griego Helios.
La construcción abarca templos conservados, por ejemplo el templo de Bacchus,
que ya en sí es más grande que la Akrópolis de Atenas.
Las seis columnas restantes del cercano templo de Júpiter y su plataforma sobre
la que fué construido, tienen tan gran tamanio que podría decirse que
fueron construidos por y para gigantes.
"En aquellos días había gigantes en la tierra, y aun después cuando se unieron
los hijos de Dios con las hijas de los hombres y les nacieron hijos. Ellos eran los
héroes que desde la antigüedad fueron hombres de renombre.
(Génesis Cap.6 Ant.testamento)
Aquí se reconocen las dimensiones de la plataforma sobre la que en sus tiempos se
encontraba el templo de Jupiter. Aún no se ha conseguido saber como fueron transportadas
esas piedras desde la lejana cantera y cómo consiguieron subirlas a esa altura. Igualmente
es desconocido qué ayudas técnicas poseían o qué métodos de transporte fué usado.
La mayor piedra (la más grande piedra de construcción del mundo) tiene 21,36 m de
largo y 4,33 de alto, su anchura es de 4,6 m y pesa entre 1200 y 2000 toneladas. No llegó a
transportarse hasta la terraza de Baalbek y lleva el nombre de Hajar el Gouble (Piedra del sur)
o Hajar el Hibla (Piedra de la mujer embarazada). Esa piedra así como otros aspectos de la
terraza de Baalbek ofrecen a los arqueólogos y otros científicos un gran jeroglífico. No se puede
entender, cómo piedras de ese tamanio pudieron ser partidas, transportadas y en sus fundamentos
exactamente encuadradas. Esto vale tanto para las posibilidades técnicas de la antigüedad
como para los modernos métodos de nuestra era. De Egipto y Mesopotamia es conocido como
bloques de piedra son transportados por miles de trabajadores con ayuda de cuerdas y rodillos
de madera. Pero esas piedras poseen sólo una décima de las medidas de las piedras de Baalbek.
Además las piedras más pequenias se transportaron sobre un camino liso con suficiente espacio para moverse.
El territorio de Balek es al contrario con cuestas, curvas y estrechos espacios para maniobras.
Tampoco se pueden encontrar seniales de que el camino en la antigüedad fuera alisado en
algún momento. Aparte de esto, las piedras de 1000 toneladas tenían que ser izadas y una
sobre otra en el fundamento incorporadas. Para ello y en la teoría pudieron usarse rampas, andamios,
apoyados por miles de personas y carros de animales. Como ejemplo se toma la construcción del
obelisco egipcio en Roma. El arquitecto Doménico Fontana levantó la piedra de 327 toneladas con
la ayuda de "trenes de botellas", 800 trabajadores y 140 caballos. Con la ventaja de que él tenía
terrenos lisos y libres. In Baalbek no se cuenta con esas condiciones de terreno. Incluso si las
rampas existieron: ?Porqué no existen hoy en día? Parece ser que, claramente, la terraza de Baalbek
no proviene de los tiempos romanos. No existe ninguna fuente romana que nombre los métodos de
construcción, los nombres de los ingenieros, arquitectos. Los monolitos de Trilithon (tres bloques,
de cada uno sobre 1000 toneladas,sobre otros seis bloques en la parte este de la terraza)
tampoco nos demuestran ornamentos o estructuras que tengan parecido con la época rómica.
Los bloques de piedra calada de Trilithon poseen, al contrario que los templos romanos,
fuertes huellas de erosión por la arena, que nos llevan a la conclusión de que son más antiguos.
Antiquísimas leyendas arabes cuentan:
El fuerte sobre la montania Libano es la más antigua construcción del mundo. Caín, el hijo de
Adán lo construyó en el anio 133 de la creación en un ataque de locura. Le dió el nombre de su
hijo Henoch y le pobló con gigantes que fueron castigados con el diluvio por sus sacrilegios.
Trás el diluvio, en los reinados de Nimrod en el Líbano, llamó a gigantes para que volvieran
a reedificar el fuerte de Baalbek, así llamado en honor a Baals, el dios de los moabitas,
que adoraban al dios del Sol."
Baalbek "Wohnsitz der Götter"

Freemasonry, Astrology, and the Washington D.C. Street Plan
During the 1790s French Freemason Pierre L’Enfant designed the street plan and architectural layout of Washington D.C. to include many occult talismans. If you see D.C. from an aerial view, you may be shocked to find things like an iron cross (used by Hitler), the Star of David (used by the Rothschilds), an upside down (satanic) pentagram pointing to the White House, and even a pyramid with a huge owl sitting atop at the Capitol building. The Egyptian hieroglyph for the Illuminati Goddess Isis/Sirius is a star, an oval, and an obelisk all drawn together. In Washington D.C. there just happens to be the Washington Monument obelisk, the Oval office, and a pentagram encoded in the streets/architecture.
“The Egyptian hierogram for the star Sirius consists of three shapes: a five-pointed star, an oval, and an obelisk. Amazingly, this is just what we find in stone in Washington D.C. The entire city is dedicated astromantically to the star Sirius and its occult deities. Astrology is good enough for the ruling Plutocrats it seems. Pity that when the ordinary person seeks to use the divination arts for their own personal physical and spiritual empowerment, they are considered freaks and devil-worshippers.” -David Ovason, “Secret Architecture of Our Nation’s Capitol”
“Millionaires do not use astrology, billionaires do.” -J. P. Morgan
In Washington DC we have the phallic "Monument" facing the female "Oval" office, plus the pentagon and L’Enfant’s pentagrams. In Paris we find “Cleopatra’s Needle” another obelisk in front of the Notre Dame ("Virgin" Mary’s) Cathedral. The Vatican has another masculine obelisk surrounded by a feminine circular building structure. In London, New York, and many other places you will find the same. The Brotherhood has placed their sexual architecture at key geomantic points all over the Earth.
“The obelisk and the dome are common sights in the monuments and buildings of the Brotherhood. The obelisk is an ancient phallic symbol of the male energy and solar energy and the dome represents the female or moon energy. Often they are placed together or close to each other. This is the symbolism of the Oval Office (the womb, female) in the White House which looks out on the Washington Monument, the vast stone obelisk (phallic, male). These symbols attract and generate the energy they represent: they are a physical thought form. The obelisk also symbolizes the penis of the Egyptian Sun god, Osiris. According to legend, after Osiris had been sliced into pieces by his rival, Set, the Queen Isis found all the pieces except his willy. An obelisk claimed to come from Alexandria in Egypt stands in Central Park, New York, and its twin was erected in the 19th century, during the reign of Queen Victoria, on the former Templar lands alongside the River Thames not far from the Houses of Parliament. It is known as Cleopatra’s Needle and originally stood in On (Heliopolis), the Egyptian City of the Sun, from at least 1500 BC, before it was moved to Alexandria... A sphinx has been placed on either side at its London location. Another Egyptian obelisk which was built in Luxor 3,200 years ago now stands in the Place de Concorde in Paris, less than a minute’s drive from the scene of Diana’s crash. On the other side of the crash scene is the Eiffel Tower, another gigantic obelisk in disguise. The Washington Monument in Washington DC is a colossal obelisk. The dome (from a Greek word meaning Place of the Gods) draws in and harnesses energy, as does the pyramid.” -David Icke, “The Biggest Secret” (354)
They also keep the secrets of ancient ley lines and continue building along them. For instance the cities of Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington D.C. are all on a perfect diagonal that continues down to Teohitican and all the way up to Stonehenge, Troy, and Baalbak. London to Giza and Paris to Dendera are almost equidistant parallel lines as well. This geomantic knowledge was understood and kept hidden by ancient builders/Masons and remains that way today.
“Has anyone ever asked themselves why a war memorial nearly always has to be an obelisk? And why do you think the Washington monument in the centre of Washington DC is a giant obelisk? Because obelisks, like all these symbols and geometrical shapes, generate the energy they represent. I remember climbing some stone steps inside a big obelisk near Hebden Bridge in England and feelig enormous male sexual energy all around me. I wondered what on Earth was happening until I remembered where I was ... inside a male penis in effect. What a symbol is built to represent is the energy it will generate, because symbols are a physical manifestation of the thoughts which create them.

Los Angeles
I went to LA in November and had a chance to take a closer look at the All Seeing Eye Pyramid in Century City, to experience the Magic of Holly Wood, and to investigate the mysteries surrounding the Santa Monica Pier. I made a bunch of interesting discoveries that I think you’ll enjoy especially if you have been following my work. Here’s what Century City Plaza looks like in Google Earth:
The two equilateral triangle buildings at the base of the pyramid are 44 stories each, making 88 floors of symbolic power. There are 88 constellations in the night sky and the road flanking the buildings on the right just happens to be called Constellation Boulevard.
I saw only two signs identifying what corporations are housed in the Century Plaza towers: JP Morgan and City National Bank; the latter’s logo reminds me of Jacob’s ladder.
Perhaps the towers are “the way up” to Orion and Sirius? The ancient Egyptians certainly believed that building copies of the stars on the earth would confer particular benefits.
“Whoever shall make a copy of the Duat, 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.” -The Book of What is in the Duat (circa 1400 BCE)
The long rectangular building above the top of the pyramid is the Creative Artists Agency. It has an inner void which a talented pilot might fly a helicopter through in some high budget movie.
The address of CAA is 2000 Avenue of the Stars. Constellations of stars are members of CAA:
“Creative Artists Agency is a talent and literary agency with offices in Los Angeles, Nashville, New York, Beijing, and London. CAA represents the most creative and successful artists working in music, film, television, theatre, sports, and games, and provides a range of strategic marketing services to corporate clients. The agency serves as the access point through which artists, consumers and global brands intersect to create, acquire and sell entertainment properties, and to enrich entertainment and brand experiences.” -Source
When I was standing there for my 15-minutes of observing fame, a drop dead gorgeous woman (I don’t have a clue who, but she looked Italian) got out of a brand new Porsche and walked past me into CAA.
The “eye” is really a semi-circular stone plaza in the middle of Century Park. It’s not really perceptible as an eye within a pyramid on the ground unless you think like an architect. You’d be able to see it plain as day from high up in the either of the twin towers which seem to resonate with Jachin and Boaz.
Put them together and you have the Star of David.
“How deeply Jewish is Hollywood? When the studio chiefs took out a full-page ad in the Los Angeles Times a few weeks ago to demand that the Screen Actors Guild settle its contract, the open letter was signed by: News Corp. President Peter Chernin (Jewish), Paramount Pictures Chairman Brad Grey (Jewish), Walt Disney Co. Chief Executive Robert Iger (Jewish), Sony Pictures Chairman Michael Lynton (surprise, Dutch Jew), Warner Bros. Chairman Barry Meyer (Jewish), CBS Corp. Chief Executive Leslie Moonves (so Jewish his great uncle was the first prime minister of Israel), MGM Chairman Harry Sloan (Jewish) and NBC Universal Chief Executive Jeff Zucker (mega-Jewish). If either of the Weinstein brothers had signed, this group would have not only the power to shut down all film production but to form a minyan with enough Fiji water on hand to fill a mikvah.” -Source
I took the above photo from the Annenburg Space for Photography which looks down on the plaza. The Space was closed the day I visited but the exhibit they were hosting was called Beauty CULTure, showing a number of incarnations of the goddess Isis, or Lilith if you prefer her Babylonian Talmud version.
We drove down Santa Monica Blvd and saw people filming a scene seemingly for the cult of beauty…
…on the way to Hollywood & Highland (H&H) and the Kodak Theatre which is the permanent home of the Academy Awards ceremony. Hmm, the sign is just one letter off from Isis.
I wanted to get a closer look at what I call the Ishtar Gate. It’s bigger than I imagined, but the real shocker was what is framed perfectly under the gate off in the distance.
It’s the Hollywood sign. This is especially interesing because of the Hulu commercial I referenced in the Magic of Holly Wood where Alec Baldwin enters a secret alien base underneath this sign. The developers must have oriented the plaza in reference to this iconic sign:
Update: Thank you Christopher Hunter Myers for your comment on my Synchronicity in the City post relating to your blog post which in turn references an article by Philip Coppens called “The Phallis of Osiris in Hollywood?” Both are utterly fascinating and well worth reading.
To summarize, the best selling author Linda Goodman who wrote Sun Signs (1968), believed that there was an underground chamber underneath the cross on Hollywood Hill literally containing the phallis of Osiris.
“There are some hints that Goodman might not have been the first interested in this piece of land. Interestingly, the summit of the [Hollywood] hill is the only piece of property in LA that is circular in shape!” -Source
Richard Cassaro asks the intriguing question, “Was Jesus the Second Coming of Egypt’s Christ?“
Goodman spent a great deal of her own money having scientific tests performed that apparently showed that there is indeed a secret underground chamber under the cross on Hollywood Hill.
Philip Coppens wrote, “Hollywood Hill was a private project of Linda Goodman, which largely died when she died in 1995.” I wish her investigation will someday be reopened.
The line connecting the Ishtar gates goes right between Hollywood Hill and Hollwood Bowl on the other side of the the 101 freeway.
Conductors use another type of holly wood in the form of batons to entrance their audiences at the summer concerts at Hollywood Bowl.
Don’t forget the original Ishtar gate is 6555 miles away from the Ishtar Gate of Hollywood & Highland along a line that perfectly traces the city wall of Babylon itself.
Winged Babylonian gods holding pinecones flank the entrace to Victoria’s Secret inside H&H’s courtyard on one side of the Ishtar gate.
What is Victoria’s secret really? You know what those catalogs represent, that same CULT of beauty. Here’s an earlier issue:
The Whore of Babylon
Bel-Air is just a stone’s throw from H&H. In my post on 666, I mentioned that in 1989 Ronald and Nancy Reagan retired to 666 St. Cloud Road in Bel-Air. Nancy had the street number changed to 668. Also Ronald Wilson Reagan had 6 letters in each of his 3 names, making 666 by concatenation.
Bel, signifying “lord” or “master”, is a title rather than a genuine name, applied to various gods in Babylonian religion. -Source
The axis coming from Babylon goes right through the Ishtar gate of H&H and continues across the street to Disney’s El Capitan theatre. El Capitan must therefore be Bel.
In fact the precise axis is centered on the star at the top of the marquee. That might explain why the ticket booth is at the extreme right edge of the building. You can see the Hollywood Masonic Temple next door, where Jimmy Kimmel Live is currently filmed.
Incidentally Michael Eisner has a star that just happens to be right in front of the Hollywood Masonic Temple. Eisner was the CEO of Disney for 21 years. Remember Disneyland’s Club 33?
Thank you to Boodabill who commented on the Magic of Holly Wood post that the structure on top of the El Capitan looks like an obelisk. There is a resemblance.
It was with all these things in mind that we left H&H and drove west down Santa Monica Blvd into the setting sun. There are signs along the way that identify Santa Monica Blvd as Historic Route 66 (most people in LA probably don’t know this).
Route 66 served as a major path for those who migrated west, especially during the Dust Bowl of the 1930s.
I didn’t realize it until arriving on site but the Santa Monica Pier is literally the terminus of Route 66. This sign is on the pier.
Route 66 was known as The Mother Road before the interstate highway system replaced it. Here is Blaze Starr, burlesque dancer from the 1940s, getting her kicks on route 66.
wanted to go to the end of Santa Monica pier because of something I discovered last summer in Google Earth: the tip of the Santa Monica Pier has the exact same latitude as the Temple of Baalbek in Lebanon. The circle shown on the pier corresponds precisely to the latitude of the center of the hexagonal temple atop the platform of Baalbek.
Linguistically Bel is a cognate of Ba’al. Baalbek was the cult center of Ba’al worship going back nine thousand years. The megaliths of Baalbek are some of the greatest mysteries on the planet. How did the ancients move 1200 ton stones when we can’t do it today?

There is also a ferris wheel on the Santa Monica Pier. Another all-seeing-eye held up by compasses if you will, reminding me of the Millennium Wheel in London.
My friend Jan Thulstrup sent me a picture of a Highway 66 in northern Israel, which isn’t too far from Baalbek incidentally; Israel’s route 66 goes through Megiddo – better known under its Greek name of Armageddon.
There’s just something about 66 that we all subconsciously know spells trouble.
