Introduction

The relationship between number, proportion, astronomy and music must have been well known to the ancient people well before Greeks and Romans. Plato himself attested to the longevity of the Egyptian harmonic canon of proportion (sacred geometry), when he stated:

That the pictures and statues made ten thousand years ago, are in no one particular better or worse than what they now make.

The Ancient Egyptian works, large or small, are admired by all, because they are proportionally harmonious. This harmonic design concept is popularly known as “sacred geometry” and used in the design of sacred architecture and sacred art.

Proportions of any object are always independent of the units of length (meters, feet, cubits etc) we use to measure the object.
Once specific unit of measuring length is introduced, dimensions of an object can be expressed by different numbers, however its proportions will remain the same. 
Although objects with identical proportions can be built to different scale, the “base to height” ratio will stay the same.

For example:

• for any circle, the circumference divided by its diameter is always equal “pi” (3.14159…)
• for any square, the perimeter divided by the diagonal is always 2 x sqrt(2) = 2.8284….
• for any equilateral triangle, the perimeter divided by the height is always 2 x sqrt(3) = 3.4641…
  and the ratio height to base is  (1/2)x sqrt(3) =0.866…

If we consider proportions of a pyramid expressed by the height divided by the base, values of the “base to height ratio” will be independent of units of measure we use! (see example of the GP below)

Proportions of the Giza Pyramids

Here are official dimensions of 3 pyramids at Giza:

1. The Great Pyramid: Base =440 Royal Egyptian Cubits,
   Height = 280 Royal Egyptian Cubits,
   Base to Height ratio = 11/7  (440/280 = 11/7 exactly)
2. The Second Pyramid:
   Base =411 Royal Egyptian Cubits,
   Height = 274 Royal Egyptian Cubits,
   Base to Height ratio = 3/2  (411/274 = 3/2 exactly)
3. The Third Pyramid:
   Base =200 Royal Egyptian Cubits,
   Height = 125 Royal Egyptian Cubits,
   Base to Height ratio = 8/5  (200/125 = 8/5 exactly)

We can notice the following numerological relationships between 3 pyramids:

11 / 7  = (3 + 8) / (2 + 5) 
( we are adding to top value of 2^nd and 3^rd pyramid ratio to the bottom value of each ratio)

If we add this way all 3 ratios we will get:

(11 + 8 + 3) / (7 + 5 +2) = 22/14 = 11/7
(the ratio of  the Great Pyramid and the approximation of “pi” ).

So ratios of all 3 pyramids added this way are equal the ratio of the 1^st pyramid.

Sir Petrie has noticed that the relation between the height and the base (ratio 3/2 = 6/4) conceal the Pythagorean Triangle (the first “Pythagorean Triplet”):
3² + 4² = 5²

• The 3rd Pyramid with its base = 200 has diagonal = 282.84 = 100*2*sqrt(2). 
• Radius of a circle circumscribed on 200*200 square is 141.4215 = 100* sqrt(2) and the circle’s circumference = 888.
• For this pyramid: base * height = 200 * 125 = 1000 * 25 (1000 is the scale of the Giza pyramids layout and 25 is the scale of the 3rd pyramid).
• Circle with radius=250 is very special since its circumference = 1570.8 = 1000* (1/2) * Pi

Base1+Base2+Base3+Height1+Height2+Height3=
440+411+200+280+274+125 = 1051 + 679 = 1730

Interesting “numerological” connections:

1. Proportions connection (purely “numerological”):
   Design proportions for the 1^st Pyramid 7:11; 
   7=5+2 and 11= 8+3;  7/11 = (5+2) / (8+3)  from this proportion we generate these ratios: for the 2^nd  pyramid 5/8 and for the 3^rd pyramid 2/3
   Also 100x 11/7 = 157.1  which is scale factor for the layout ( 11/9 ) of 3 pyramids.
   8 and 5 give scale factor for the 1st Pyramid (5×8=40=5×2³=40) 
   2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 11  give scale factor for the 2^nd Pyramid:
   11×8+7x(5+2)=137 or 11×7+7×5+5×5= 137
2. For the Fist Pyramid the scale factor is 40 and the ratio is 11:7
   11 x 2² – 2² = 40
   Connection with the Second Pyarmid:
   (11+7) x 3²  - 5² = 137
   7x 4² + 5² =137 and 11 x 2³ + 7² = 137 and 11.7² is approximately 137 (scale for the Second Pyramid), also 25 component is the same as the scale factor for the Third Pyramid
3. For the Second Pyramid the scale factor is 137 and the ratio is 3:2 (9:6 or 6:4)
   (3+2)x 3³ +2 = 137 also (9+6)x 3² +2 = 137 and (6+4)x7x2 – 3 = 137, Interestingly, (3+2)x 2³ = 40 (scale factor for the First Pyramid)
   also, square Root of 137 is approximately 11.7  (11 and 7 are ratio numbers describing the First pyramid)

The Third Pyramid’s scale factor is 25 and the ratio is 8:5  (same as 40:25) 5²=25, 

The Pyramids of Giza Layout

Another interesting relationship is uncovered when we investigate the layout of the Giza pyramids.

Measured dimensions of the layout rectangle are 1732 Royal Egyptian Cubits by 1414 Royal Egyptian Cubits.
This dimensions are equivalent of sqrt(3) x 1,000 by sqrt(2) x 1,000.

We can say that 3 pyramids are inside the rectangle with proportions (side to side ratio) equal:  sqrt(3) / sqrt(2) = sqrt(3/2) = 1.224745…
In other words, the sqrt of the ratio describing the 2^nd pyramid (3/2) generates proportions of the Giza pyramids layout rectangle.
Note: The area of the rectangle is sqrt(3) x sqrt(2) = sqrt(6) = 2.4495

Perimeter of the Giza layout = 6,292 (RC) [= 2* 1000* sqrt(2) + 2*1000*sqrt(3)]
Circle with the same perimeter would have Radius = 1,001 RC [ 6292 = 2*pi*R so R=1,001 ]

Another amazing design feature:

• Scale of the Giza  layout:   1,000
• Scale of the 1^st pyramid:  40
  (btw, it generates  base to height ratio 8/5 for the 3^rd pyramid: 8×5 = 40)
  
• Scale of the 3^rd pyramid: 25
  -  the scales of the 1^st and the 3^rd pyramid generate also the ratio for the 3^rd pyramid: 40/25 = 8/5
  -  25 = 1000/40 (this number is generated by the scale of the layout/scale of  the Great Pyramid)
• Scale of the 2^nd pyramid is 137 (see the paragraph below about 137)
  It generates 11, the key number for the 1^st pyramid (1+3+7 = 11).
  Ratio 3/2 of the 2^nd pyramid describes triangle [3^1/2 ]²+ [2^1/2 ]²= [5^1/2]²
  which generates sides of the pyramids layout and its diagonal 5^1/2 in scale 1:1000

Such rectangle (representing the layout of the pyramids of Giza) can be generated in many ways:

1. From the Flower of Life:

The Flower of Life set in stone
at the Temple of Osiris at Abydos, Egypt.

2. From arcs generating sqrt(2) and sqrt(3) (scaled 1000 times)

3.  From diagonals of a cube 1000 x 1000 x 1000: 

137

Number 137 is the scale factor for the 2^nd pyramid (which base to height ratio is 3/2)

• 137 is the 33^rd prime number;
• Using two radii to divide a circle according to the golden ratio yields sectors of approximately 137° (the golden angle) and 222°.
• The fifth harmonic number is 137/60
• The fine structure constant, a dimensionless physical constant, approximates 1/137, and the astronomer Arthur Eddington conjectured in 1929 that its reciprocal was in fact precisely the integer 137
• The fine structure constant of physics continues to convince esoterists that the universe has numerological fine tuning: for example the age of the universe could be considered as roughly 137 times the square of a myriad of years.
• The atomic number of the highest allowed element on the periodic table allowed by the Bohr Model and the Dirac equation( Caesium-137 )

On autumn equinox the distance of the Sun from Earth is approximately 150.336 million km, about 108 times that of the Sun’s diameter (or 216 times of the Sun’s Radius)
216=6³ , also 216=2³ x 3³

108 x 2= 216 = 6 x 6 x 6 , 666 is the number of the Sun (and also number of the Beast)
108  has 12 divisors:   1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 108

Interesting, multiples of 3 multiplied by 37 = repeating digits

(1×3) or 1+1+1=3 x 37 = 111
(2×3) or 2+2+2=6 x 37 = 222
(3×3) or 3+3+3=9 x 37 = 333
(4×3) or 4+4+4=12 x 37 = 444
(5×3) or 5+5+5=15 x 37 = 555
(6×3) or 6+6+6=18 x 37 = 666
(7×3) or 7+7+7=21 x 37 = 777
(8×3) or 8+8+8=24 x 37 = 888
(9×3) or 9+9+9=27 x 37 = 999

Divisors:

108 has 12 divisors:  1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 108
216 has 16 divisors:  1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 27, 36, 54, 72, 108, 216
360 has 24 divisors:  1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36, 40, 45, 60, 72, 90, 120, 180, 360
666 has 12 divisors:  1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 37, 74, 111, 222, 333, 666.

666 and the Magickal Seal of the Sun

The “Seals of the Planets,” popular before the time of Christ according to Budge (Amulets and Superstitions), are interesting because the seal containing “the Grand Number of the Sun” contains the very sacred number 36 laid out in a 6×6 square with the numbers from 1 to 36 so arranged that they add up the same in all directions, with the total of the whole seal 666.

Though popular also in Eastern lands, the Greek and Roman, or Latin, inscriptions on these seals show also their popularity in the West.. Since the sun-god was considered as the ruler over the 36 constellations of the sky and the 36 rooms of the circle of the zodiac, it was inevitable that the summary number of the numbers from 1 to 36, the number 666 should have been assigned to the sun as the ruler over all the gods of heaven and earth.

Babylonian astrologers divided the starry heavens into 36 constellations (ten days each). These were represented by different amulets called “Sigilla Solis,” or the Sun Seal. These amulets were worn by the pagan priests and they contained all the numbers from 1 to 36. By these figures they claimed to be able to foretell future events. These amulets were usually made of gold, yellow being the sun color. While being carried, these amulets were wrapped in yellow silk, as it was thought that the bearer would thus receive the beneficent powers believed to emanate from that jewel.

The 6×6 Magic Square of the Sun contains the first 36 numbers arranged in such a fashion so that each line of numbers, weather added horizontally, vertically or diagonally from corner to corner, will yield the “solar number” 111. The entire magic square therefore equals 666, a number which was significant to early Christian mystics.   In Hebrew Kabbalah, the names of the intelligence of the Sun and Spirit of the Sun were designed to equal 111 and 666 respectively. Like 888, 666 is an important musical number, for 0.666 is the ratio of the perfect fifth, the most powerful harmonic interval.  — From Jesus Christ, Sun of God (Fidler)

…and profiled the research of John Michell and Robin Heath in the greater landscape temple surrounding Stonehenge…

Lundy island is the origin point of the greater temple that includes Stonehenge. The center of Lundy island is 123.4 miles, or 108 Egyptian royal miles, due West from Stonehenge.

Last night I had a subtle inspiration to draw a line from the center of Lundy at the precise latitude of Stonehenge to a specific location within Mexico City. The line I drew in Google Earth has a length of 8645864 m. You can download the kmz file here and see for yourself.

This distance encodes the number 864 twice. 864 is a key number I have blogged about in my previous post on 432 Park and written about extensively in my book Taking Measure.

The line passes right over Boston, a stone’s throw from the location of the original tea party…

…and continues over Manhattan—just 200 meters from the United Nations complex…

…then passes directly over the White House in Washington DC…

…and finally terminates at the center of the 330 foot diameter Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City.

Just think about that for a moment. How likely is it that one line should pass over five sites of such global significance? I can’t begin to calculate the odds. This alignment seems to be about leaders, from the ancients who created Stonehenge and its greater temple, to the founding fathers of America, to the leaders of all nations, to the President of the United States, all the way to the Great Mother.

Our Lady of Guadalupe appeared to Juan Diego at the site in 1531 and today the Basilica de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe is the most visited Marian shrine in the world. It is visited by millions of people every year (especially on her feast day of 12/12, the date I published this blog post) and is considered to be the national shrine of Mexico. The pilgrims are paying their respects to the image of the Virgin that was said to be miraculously emblazoned on Juan Diego’s peasant cloak almost 500 years ago.

This icon of the “Queen of Heaven” as she is known in Roman Catholicism (an epithet used millennia earlier for Isis) is located at the center of the shrine so that it can be seen from any point within the modern building which accommodates up to 50,000 people at a time.

The image of the Virgin of Guadalupe has been described as a representation of the Woman of the Apocalypse, a figure from Chapter 12 of the Book of Revelation that is subject to a wide variety of interpretations.

Washington DC and New York City

The capital of the United States and the empire’s most populous city have a very special relationship in space. By virtue of the fact of where these cities are on the Earth, they encode a series of secrets in plain sight when structures within these cities are precisely compared. For example:

The distance from the George Washington National Masonic Memorial to the Statue of Liberty is 333 km.

This is amazing on multiple levels. The George Washington National Masonic Memorial in Alexandria Virginia (occupying the lower corner of the District of Columbia’s original diamond) is a replica of the Lighthouse of Alexandria, Egypt. The modern structure’s 333 foot height echoes the Scottish Rite’s 33 degrees. Jan Thulstrup pointed out on Facebook that the Statue of Liberty’s base star is rotated 33 degrees with respect to true north. I noticed that the rotated arrangement also looks like the Templar flag or cross of St. John.

In antiquity, the island just off the coast of Alexandria was known as Pharos although today it is joined to the mainland. According to Graham Hancock and Robert Bauval in Talisman: Sacred Cities, Secret Faith,

“There was a temple dedicated to Isis-Pharia near the Pharos [the lighthouse on the island of Pharos]. Apparently also her colossal statue once stood directly outside the Pharos, and is likely to have been perceived as part of the lighthouse complex. In Roman times Isis was frequently known as Stella Maris, i.e., ‘Star of the Sea’, and the same epithet has, for a very long while, been applied by Christians to the Virgin Mary…The connection between Sothis-Sirius and Isis-Pharia of the Pharos is probably due to the beacon of light from the lighthouse as it was seen from afar by sailors approaching the harbour, and may explain why the Pharos lighthouse was sometimes called ‘the second sun’—a term used by the ancient Egyptians for the star Sirius.” Talisman pp. 202-3

The second sun epithet reminds me of Walter Cruttenden’s cutting-edge astronomical research I presented in SIPS Volume 2 showing how our solar system and the Sirius system are gravitationally bound together in a binary star system.

The Statue of Liberty is itself a symbol of Isis for those who have the eyes to see this secret in plain sight. Her torch was literally the Star of the Sea as seen by millions of immigrants coming to America by ship. The correlations between the Statue of Liberty and the George Washington National Masonic Memorial lighthouse are amazing!

FYI: I pointed out in SIPS Volume 1 that the Statue of Liberty also encodes the 7:11 proportions of the cross section of Great Pyramid with her 7 rayed crown, standing on an 11 pointed base. The statue’s height from heel to top of head is 111′-1″, echoing the Great Pyramid’s 1/11th of a mile height and its 1-1/11′ pyramidion height (according to Richard Heath’s metrology in Sacred Number and the Origins of Civilization).

The distance from the Washington Monument to the New Year’s Eve Ball in Times Square is 333 km.
I wrote about One Times Square in 2011 but have discovered amazing new correlations.

The height of the Washington Monument is just 3/8″ shy of the perfect 555’5.5″ which just happens to also equal 6666″ if you round up to the nearest inch. The pyramidion measures 55’5.5″ or 666″ in height. The Washington Monument’s dimensions are a play of 6’s and 5’s.

Sync: the time ball is a geodesic sphere composed of hexagrams and pentagons, 6’s and 5’s.

The New Year’s Eve Ball Fact Sheet details the ball’s design. The time ball is covered with 2688 Waterford crystal triangles, a number that I find very interesting because the square root of 2688 is 51.85…and 51.85° (equivalent to 51°51′) is the slope angle of the Great Pyramid.

The fact sheet also states that the ball is illuminated with 8064 red, 8064 blue, 8064 green, and 8064 white Philips Luxeon Rebel light emitting diodes. There are those numbers again, 8-6-4. How appropriate for a glowing time ball!

The Sun’s diameter is 864,000 miles (99.8%). One Earth rotation is divided into 86,400 seconds—that is 24 hours exactly.

So why is the distance between these two monuments to 6 and 5 equal to 333 km? Perhaps this resonates with a fact I brought forward in Taking Measure:

Earth’s polar circumference = 6/5 x 33,333,333 meters (99.9%)

In case you don’t understand the sublime significance of 6’s relationship with 5, I invite you to read Cubits, the Snowflake and the Flower, and for the whole story, Taking Measure.

Jan Thulstrup observed that the number of verses in the Bible, 31104, is equal to 864 x 36. I recall that the sum of the numbers 1-36 is 666, so we appropriately have the number of the Sun/Son 864 and the infamous number of the beast 666 encoded in the number of verses in the Bible. Equally amazing is the following mathematical expression:

The ball drop is watched by approximately one billion people on television at midnight every New Year’s Eve. Before we had television New Year’s was personified by Father Time in editorial cartoons in newspapers such as the New York Times. Long before that he was known as the Grim Reaper, Chronos, Cronus, Saturn, and way back in ancient Egypt he was known as Osiris.

Rotunda Clock on the Library of Congress

Many depictions of the personified New Year showed a very old man holding an infant, balancing immanent death with new life. To me this symbol is encoded in the relationship of 6 to 5, literally in life and death, or figuratively as rebirth within life. 6/5 is the marriage of Osiris and Isis, the alchemy in the reconciliation of opposites.

The New Year’s Eve Ball in Times Square is 5.55 miles from the Statue of Liberty at a bearing of 33 degrees true north.

The distance from the House of the Temple in DC to the Grand Lodge of New York in Manhattan is 330.33 km. That is 1733 16th Street, N.W., Washington DC to 71 West 23rd Street, New York

The distance from the Great Pyramid to St. Mary’s chapel in Glastonbury, UK is 3652422 meters. One year lasts 365.2422 days. See SIPS Volume 1 for more on the amazing significance of St. Mary’s Chapel.

Keith Hunter has brilliantly deciphered how the year is encoded in the Great Pyramid’s location. He shows how Earth’s latitudinal circumference at the location of the Great Pyramid divided by the pyramid’s base perimeter equals 36524.22 feet, a number 100 times the tropical year. He also shows how the height of the Great Pyramid is derived from the Earth’s orbital period, among other metrological wonders.

Here is another “coincidence”…

The distance from the center of the White House, USA to the center of the Hall of Mirrors in Versailles, France is 3330.33 nautical miles. This alignment bisects Versailles so it appears that the Sun King’s complex was designed to encode this alignment.

…and another…

The distance from Silbury Hill, UK, the tallest neolithic structure in Europe to the tallest modern building in Europe, the Shard in London, is 123,456 meters or 66.66 nautical miles.

…and another…

The distance from the Temple Mount in Jerusalem (holiest place in Judaism and second holiest place in Islam) to the Kaaba in Mecca (holiest place in Islam) is 1,234,567 meters or 666.6 nautical miles.

…and another…

The distance from the end of the Avenue of the Dead at Teotihuacan, Mexico to the oldest standing obelisk in the world in Heliopolis, Egypt is 12,345,678 meters or 6,666 nautical miles. I never knew there was this curious metrological relationship between meters and nautical miles until stumbling upon these examples.

On a larger level, consider the following mathematical relationship:

This is Kepler’s Third Law of Planetary Motion applied to our solar system. You won’t normally see it written this way, but I rewrote the equation to highlight an interesting pattern, the repetitive sixes. Check it yourself with a scientific calculator! Note: AU stands for astronomical unit, the mean distance from the Earth to the Sun.

I am amazed that the rather remote island where I live in Canada, named Cortés after the infamous conquistador, is located 864 miles from the Transamerica Pyramid, the tallest building in San Francisco. I mentioned in SIPS Volume 1 that including its pyramidion and mast, the Transamerica Pyramid is 864 feet high. The Transamerica Pyramid is 8641 km from One Canada Square which for some years was the tallest building in London, England. One Canada Square was itself originally designed to be 864 feet high.

In my opinion, all of these things are so far beyond coincidence. What kind of intelligence has the capacity to encode precise relationships using our units of measure in the locations of temples and cities both ancient and modern? Wouldn’t that intelligence have to be eternal, meaning outside the flow of time?

Eternity is in love with the productions of time. -William Blake

Consider the possibility that time, space and matter might arise in awareness rather than the other way around. Are you a separate-self that is for a brief moment inhabiting a universe, or is all this synchronicity a clue pointing to how you, awareness, imagined your matrix playing out in time?

Maybe you have encoded these curious coincidences as gentle clues to help those “separate-selves” who are ready to wake up to who they really are?

“Before the world was, consciousness was. In consciousness it comes into being, in consciousness it lasts and into pure consciousness it dissolves. At the root of everything is the feeling “I am”. The state of mind “there is a world” is secondary, for to be, I do not need the world, the world needs me.” -Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

“I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness. We cannot get behind consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates consciousness.” -Max Planck

“Past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.” -Albert Einstein

In 33°33′ there are a total of 2013 minutes. In 2014, we lift the veil on 33 and will experience whatever comes next.
