I want to bring to your attention that clock and that symbol of Ra. Unless you're standing right in that spot in front of the Fathers SON....below the astronomical clock....you will not see that hidden symbol.....You also see in this picture three circles as well as the Ra symbol in conjunction....like the three planets in the post above.....

Here you can see the tower crossing roof through one of the scissor arches. There is one of these scissor structures on each of three sides of the crossing.

Three sides of the Crossing?!?

How about that clock?

The Wells Cathedral clock is an astronomical clock in the north transept of Wells Cathedral, England. The clock is one of the group of famous 14th to 16th century astronomical clocks to be found in the West of England. The surviving mechanism, dated to between 1386 and 1392, was replaced in the 19th century, and was eventually moved to the Science Museum in London, where it continues to operate. The dial represents the geocentric view of the universe, with sun and moon revolving round a central fixed earth. It may be unique in showing a philosophical model of the pre-Copernican universe.

Another dial is mounted on the outside wall, driven from the same mechanism. This was first installed in the 14th or 15th centuries, but has been restored a number of times.

The dial proposes a model of the universe. Against a background of stars, the sun (the large gilded star on the outer ring) moves in a circle, and indicates the time using the 24-hour analogue dial, which is marked in Roman numerals from I to XII, then from I to XII again. Noon is at the top of the dial reflecting the position of the sun in the sky at this time.

In the corners, four angels hold the four cardinal winds. These may be generating the power that makes the universe operate.
The minutes are indicated by a smaller star on the ring inside.

The inner circle shows the moon. A pointer indicates the age of the moon, between 1 and 30 days. The black and white disk above the center shows the moon's phase. The white disk rotates once in a synodic month. The inscription around the moon phase indicator says sphericus archetypum globus hic monstrat microcosmum, which translates as This spherical globe here shows the archetypal microcosm. Howgrave-Graham suggests that the scribe erroneously put microcosmum, when macrocosmum is the more obvious word. Opposite the moon circle is a weighted pivoted disc, containing a small painting of Phoebe, representing the moon.The inscription reads: Sic peragrat Phobe, or So progresses Phoebe.

At the center of the dial, the ball represents the earth, and the clouds suggest the same.

Above the clock and to the right is a figure, known as Jack Blandifers, who hits bells with a hammer held in his right hand and by hitting his heels on two bells hung beneath him. A set of jousting knights also chase each other every 15 minutes.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wells_Cathedral_clock

In Greek mythology "radiant" Phoebe , was one of the original Titans, who were one set of sons and daughters of Uranus and Gaia. She was traditionally associated with the moon (see Selene), as in Michael Drayton's Endimion and Phœbe, (1595), the first extended treatment of the Endymion myth in English. Her consort was her brother Coeus, with whom she had two daughters, Leto, who bore Apollo and Artemis, and Asteria, a star-goddess who bore an only daughter Hecate.

Who else represented the moon? That would be Thoth...the once SCRIBE of PTAH: Until he got a little too smart for Ptah and was sent packing to south America to build his own Pyramid of the Sun....Where he does what?


He has the Mayan's develope the Mayan calendar, and a baktun with a period of 144,000 days!




So...standing in front of the Christ if you look up to the sky....above the clock....you can see the cross of Ptah and the Sun god hieroglyph. yet if you move away to another position it's not so obvious...it's rather hidden.


So back to my question.....Three sides of the crossing? Well we're back to Exodus, Moses, his magic rod, what about three crossings?

Check it!

The Exodus Puzzle
This article examines a very complex topic: the ancient route of Exodus of the Israelites from their departure in Egypt to their arrival in the Promised Land. The most puzzling aspects of Exodus are:
The site of Red Sea Crossing where Pharaoh’s army drowned
The location of Mt. Sinai where Yahweh spoke to Moses and gave the Law
The details of the last 38 years of wilderness wandering (38....3+8=11)
The Pharaoh of Exodus who followed the Israelites but drowned in the Red Sea
If you inspect the Exodus route maps in Bible atlases you will be surprised how many versions are out there. Just about all the versions choose a Red Sea crossing in the border of Egypt, either through some lakes in the border area or through the northern tip of the Gulf of Suez. Mt. Sinai is marked in southern Sinai as Jebel Musa. This location is famous also for the St. Catherine’s monastery established in the 6th century AD.

Many preachers realize that only 3 of the 50 locations are known for sure of the exodus route and conclude we cannot know and it doesn't matter anyway. Consequently, very little effort is put into analyzing many of the exodus routes.

They did not take the direct eastern route called "the way of the land of the Philistines",

Exodus 13:17-18: which was also known as the "Way of Horus", where Egypt had a series of defensive outposts filled with garrisons of soldiers dotted along this route.

The fort of Tjaru, also called Tharo, was an ancient Egyptian fortress along the major road from Egypt to Canaan. Known as ‘the way of Horus’, the road was extremely important for both travel and trade – and in times of war, whoever controlled the road essentially controlled the territory. Previously known only through descriptions and images, archaeologists have finally uncovered the fort itself – and it turns out that this fort was one of the largest fortresses to have existed during the Pharonic era in ancient Egypt.

Now....there was a battle between Set and Horus:

Which divided the house.... The cult of Osiris and the cult of Set went to battle. It was through this battle the story of Set/Osiris/Isis...and the "Resurrection" was told.

Petra

Jordan

Pilgrims holding a service in Petra Church (Seetheholyland.net)

 

The “rose-red city” of Petra in southern Jordan, famous for its rock-cut monumental buildings, was once the setting for a thriving Christian community with several significant churches.

An early account tells of Christians in Petra being martyred during the persecution of emperor Diocletian at the beginning of the 4th century, for refusing to offer sacrifice to Roman gods.

Nevertheless, a Christian presence persisted. Bishops from Petra attended Church synods and councils from AD 343, indicating that the city had become a significant Christian centre.

Crosses chiselled into sandstone walls show which large tombs were converted into churches. Then a succession of new churches was built.

The Roman historian Epiphanius mentions that the conversion of Petra’s residents was a slow process throughout the late 4th and 5th centuries.

Then a monk called Mar Sauma arrived with 40 brother monks in AD 423. They found the gates locked against them, but a rainstorm struck with such intensity that part of the city wall was broken, allowing them in. Since the storm had broken a four-year drought, the water-dependent Nabateans saw the event as miraculous and even pagan priests converted to Christianity.

 

Exotic animals in mosaics

Three churches from the Byzantine era — called the Petra Church, the Blue Chapel and the Ridge Church — have been discovered. They are clustered on the ridge to the north-east of the Colonnaded Street that runs through Petra’s main city area, past the Temple of the Winged Lions.

Aisle of mosaics in Petra Church (Seetheholyland.net)

The large triple-aisled Petra Church, a basilica dedicated to St Mary, was probably the ancient city’s cathedral.

Little of the interior remains except for well-preserved mosaics carpeting the 70-square-metre floors of each of the side aisles. These depict local, exotic and mythological animals, as well as personifications of the Seasons, Ocean, Earth and Wisdom.

The secular nature of these mosaics is probably explained by a reluctance to tread on sacred images.

Just west of the church proper is a stone-paved atrium, with a cistern sunk into the centre to catch water. Further west is a baptistery, with a cross-shaped baptismal font.

The basilica was destroyed by a fire, probably in the early 7th century.

 

Scrolls revealed business deals

The fire that destroyed the Petra Church also carbonised an invaluable hoard of papyrus scrolls cached in a church storeroom. The 152 scrolls — the largest collection of written material from antiquity found in Jordan — lay undiscovered until 1993.

Written mainly in cursive Greek, they have been painstakingly deciphered to reveal details of births, prenuptial arrangements, marriages, business deals, wills, properties disputes and tax responsibilities of about 350 members of the community.

One of the main figures identified in the scrolls is Theodorus, who married his cousin Stephanous in 537, when he was aged about 24. Later ordained a deacon in the Petra diocese, Theodorus was also a successful landowner with extensive business interests.

A son of Theodorus is recorded as being responsible for paying local taxes on a vineyard — at the rate of 47.5 per cent! This affluent family apparently owned much property in the Petra region.

 

Church overlooked the city

The Ridge Church had a commanding position, with a 360-degree view of the central city, atop the northern slope of the valley in which Petra sits.

The oldest church in the city, dating from the 4th century, it had two side aisles separated from the nave by five columns on each side.

Behind it, city walls across the valley would have protected Petra against invasion from the north.

Granite columns at Blue Church (David Loong)

Between the Petra Church and the Ridge Church is the Blue Chapel, so named after its four blue Egyptian granite columns, topped with Nabataean horned capitals, that collapsed in an 8th-century earthquake but have been re-erected.

The chapel also had blue sandstone flooring and blue marble furnishings — including a blue marble pulpit.

This building is believed to have been converted into a residence and chapel for Petra’s bishop.

Tombs and temples were converted

Other buildings converted to Christian churches include the Urn Tomb and al-Deir (Arabic for “the Monastery”).

Urn Tomb at Petra (Chris Yunker)

The Urn Tomb, the first of the four Royal Tombs just north of the amphitheatre, still bears an inscription to “Christ the Saviour” on one of its inside walls.

Al-Deir, the biggest and most grandiose monument in Petra, is in the hills overlooking the city from the north-west. A visit involves a walk of about an hour from the city centre, up 800 rock-cut steps.

At 50 metres wide and 45 metres high, it is much bigger than al-Khazneh (“the Treasury”) — the famous monument that appears to visitors arriving through the gorge called the Siq (and in which the climax of the 1989 film Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade was set).

Originally cut out of the rock to serve as a mortuary temple, al-Deir was apparently later adapted to Christian use. It seems to have acquired its name of the Monastery from the crosses painted and inscribed on its inner walls.

Two Greek monks were recorded as living in the building in 1217.

 

Petra was in biblical Edom

Al-Deir, Petra’s biggest monument (Dennis Jarvis)

In biblical times Petra was a city of the Edomites, whose ancestor Esau settled there after he was tricked out of his rightful inheritance by his twin brother Jacob. Scholars believe Petra was then called Sela.

By the middle of the second century BC, the Edomites had been displaced by the Nabataeans. These former nomad herdsmen made Petra their multicoloured sandstone capital city, transforming it into a desert oasis by using ingenious aqueducts and cisterns to conserve water from flash floods.

The Nabataeans also controlled trade routes from Arabia to Mesopotamia and Syria, exacting high tolls from caravans which passed their way.

Overview of some of Petra’s monuments (Chris Yunker)

One tradition has the Three Wise Men buying their gold, myrrh and frankincense at Petra on their way to Bethlehem.

The greatest Nabataean king was Aretas IV (9 BC to AD 40), whose rule extended as far north as Damascus. His daughter Phasaelis was married to Herod Antipas, who divorced her to marry Herodias, his brother’s wife. Aretas IV then marched on Herod’s army, defeated it and captured territories along the West Bank of the Jordan River.

In AD 106 Petra was annexed by the Roman empire. Rome’s diversion of the caravan trade and some devastating earthquakes in subsequent centuries put the city into decline.

 

Poet recanted his rosy view

From the 13th century Petra was abandoned. It remained forgotten by the Western world until 1812 when a young Swiss explorer, Johann Ludwig Burckhardt, disguised as an Arab pilgrim, persuaded a local guide to take him there.

Burckhardt’s published account inspired the English clergyman John William Burgon to write his prize-winning poem Petra, with its line “A rose-red city — half as old as Time!”

The poem, published in 1845, ran to 366 lines — much longer than the extract generally offered in anthologies.

Burgon, who later became dean of Chichester Cathedral, had never visited Petra when he composed his poem. He did so in 1862, describing it in a letter to his sister as “the most astonishing and interesting place I ever visited”. However, perhaps reflecting his ill health at the time, he added: “But there is nothing rosy in Petra by any means.”

Génesis, 8

1. Acordóse Dios de Noé y de todos los animales y de los ganados que con él estaban en el arca. Dios hizo pasar un viento sobre la tierra y las aguas decrecieron.

2. Se cerraron las fuentes del abismo y las compuertas del cielo, y cesó la lluvia del cielo.

3. Poco a poco retrocedieron las aguas de sobre la tierra. Al cabo de 150 días, las aguas habían menguado,

4. y en el mes séptimo, el día dieciesiete del mes, varó el arca sobre los montes de Ararat. (EL ARCA DE NOE TAMBIEN ES UN "ARCA PERDIDA" Y EN ESTE MARCO TAMBIEN ES UN SIMBOLO DEL GRIAL POR LA FUERTE RELACION DEL CALENDARIO DE NOE CON LA GESTACION DE UN BEBE, OSEA 9 MESES LUNARES.

5. Las aguas siguieron menguando paulatinamente hasta el mes décimo, y el día primero del décimo mes asomaron las cumbres de los montes. (DESDE EL PRIMERO DEL PRIMER MES, OSEA ROSH HASHANAH HASTA EL PRIMERO DEL DECIMO MES, INSISTO, TENEMOS 266 DIAS=36 SABADOS LUNARES. ESTE ES EL OCTAVO DIA DE LA FESTIVIDAD DE JANUKAH)

6. Al cabo de cuarenta días, abrió Noé la ventana que había hecho en el arca, (ESTO ES DESPUES DE 40 DIAS DEL PRIMERO DEL DECIMO MES, LLEGAMOS AL 11/11 HEBREO, OSEA EL DIA NUMERO 306 DEL CALENDARIO LUNI-SOLAR HEBREO. DESDE EL 10 DE ISHAR O SEGUNDO MES HASTA EL 11/11 TAMBIEN TENEMOS 266 DIAS)

7. y soltó al cuervo, el cual estuvo saliendo y retornando hasta que se secaron las aguas sobre la tierra.

8. Después soltó a la paloma, para ver si habían menguado ya las aguas de la superficie terrestre. (LA PALOMA, OSEA UNA REFERENCIA A LA CONSTELACION DE COLUMBA, TIENE UN FUERTE NEXO ESOTERICO MARIA MAGDALENA EN EL CONTEXTO A LAS BODAS DE CANA EN UN MARCO CON EL SEPTIMO DIA. COLUMBA / COLUMBIA / COLOMBIA / WASHINGTON D.C / MARYLAND / VIRGINIA.)

9. La paloma, no hallando donde posar el pie, tornó donde él, al arca, porque aún había agua sobre la superficie de la tierra; y alargando él su mano, la asió y metióla consigo en el arca.

10. Aún esperó otros siete días y volvió a soltar la paloma fuera del arca.

11. La paloma vino al atardecer, y he aquí que traía en el pico un ramo verde de olivo, por donde conoció Noé que habián disminuido las aguas de encima de la tierra. (EL OLIVO TIENE FUERTE RELACION CON EL LINAJE, OSEA EL HIJO)

12. Aún esperó otros siete días y soltó la paloma, que ya no volvió donde él.

13. El año 601 de la vida de Noé, el día primero del primer mes, se secaron las aguas de encima de la tierra. Noé retiró la cubierta del arca, miró y he aquí que estaba seca la superficie del suelo.

14. En el segundo mes, el día veintisiete del mes, quedó seca la tierra.

15. Habló entonces Dios a Noé en estos términos:

16. «Sal del arca tú, y contigo tu mujer, tus hijos y las mujeres de tus hijos.

17. Saca contigo todos los animales de toda especie que te acompañan, aves, ganados y todas las sierpes que reptan sobre la tierra. Que pululen sobre la tierra y sean fecundos y se multipliquen sobre la tierra.»

18. Salió, pues, Noé, y con él sus hijos, su mujer y las mujeres de sus hijos.

19. Todos los animales, todos los ganados, todas las aves y todas las sierpes que reptan sobre la tierra salieron por familias del arca.

20. Noé construyó un altar a Yahveh, y tomanda de todos las animales puros y de todas las aves puras, ofreció holocaustos en el altar.

21. Al aspirar Yahveh el calmante aroma, dijo en su corazón: «Nunca más volveré al maldecir el suelo por causa del hombre, porque las trazas del corazón humano son malas desde su niñez, ni volveré a herir a todo ser viviente como lo he hecho.

22. «Mientras dure la tierra, sementera y siega, frío y calor, verano e invierno, día y noche, no cesarán.» (. NOTEN LA CLAVE. ESTA ES LA TRADUCCION SEGUN LA BIBLIA DE JERUSALEN.
