Wikipedia: "Though he never set foot in what became the United States, Columbus is often viewed as a hero because of his pivotal role in U.S. history."

Columbus was fortunate enough to have a very symbolic name.

It would later be used to a great extent in America for it's many meanings and aspects, and slight historical significance. In fact Columbia would become the name of a new Goddess for a New World (NWO?).

Almost from the moment the New World was discovered, it was seen in mythological terms as an exotic goddess, an Indian Queen dressed in feathers and furs ridding an exotic beast like an armadillo and armed with a tomahawk.

 

The Catholic south adapted the idea of the Goddess of the New World into the ever-expanding hagiology of the Catholic Church.

 

The Virgin of Guadalupe allowed the archetype to become personal, a connection to the land and its ancestors, while joining a larger universalist vision inside the Church. In the largely Protestant north, things went quite differently.

The 17th century’s Indian Goddess became a tamer Indian Princess, modeled on the archetypal story of Pocahontas...

 

As the 18th century passed, and America grew more developed and its people more educated, the Indian princess gained a touch of Greek elegance.

"By the late 1790s," folk-art historian Nancy Jo Fox comments, "it was not clear whether a feathered Indian Princess had changed into a Greek goddess or whether a Greek goddess had placed feathers or plumes in her hair."

Her Many Other Names

Most Female/Virgin/Goddess symbolism comes from the constellation Virgo.

The Virgin, Virgo was impregnated by God on the Spring Equinox as the Sun passed into Virgo on March 21st. Nine months later the Son of God is born on the Winter Solstice.

God's sun/son is born or rather re-born every year after the Sun stops on the Tropic of Capricorn for 2 days and on the third day rises from death and is re-incarnated into the world. It then proceeds to come back towards the Northern Hemisphere as the "light of the world."

The New World Virgin Goddess Columbia was just a new manifestation of the ancient consort and virgin mother of god.

Depicted in Christianity as the Virgin Mary, Columbia was created out of Virginia and Maryland. To the Masons, the Square is the female aspect.

Washington's original plan for D.C. was a large square with the future Washington Monument (male symbol, compass) at the center.

In Egypt the trinity consists of Isis, Osiris, and Horus the son. Isis can be seen as the ultimate female deity.

Isis may be the oldest deity in Egypt, and certainly the oldest to survive the ages in much the same form. She may also be the most important, for although the other gods were worshipped widely, Isis was worshipped almost universally by all Egyptians. The major goddess of the Egyptian pantheon, she had many of the same attributes of other mother-goddesses found all over the world.

Source

Isis was as powerful, if not more powerful, than Osiris and Ra.

Isis was also known as Sopdet, consort of Sah. Sopdet (Spdt, Sepedet) is Sothis in greek. In 'The Lamentations of Isis and Nephthys for Osiris', Isis calls herself Sopdet. Sopdet was also connected to the goddess Satet at Abu (Elephantine).

Besides these names, the same aspects of any Goddess can be found in:

• Aphrodite, Ishtar, Black Madonna, Mary/Maya, Goddess Athena, Goddess Astarte, Anunit, Astarte and Atarsamain

• She was the light-giver at this season of the year and was called Khut

• As the mighty earth-goddess her name was Usert

• As the Great Goddess of the Underworld she was Thenenet

• As the power which shot forth the Nile flood, she was Sati, and Sept

• As the embracer of the land and producer of fertility by her waters she was Anqet

• As the producer and giver of life she was Ankhet

• As the goddess of cultivated lands and fields she was Sekhet

• As the goddess of the harvest she was Renenet

• As the goddess of food which was offered to the gods, she was Tcheft, and lived in the Temple of Tchefau

• As the great lady of the Underworld, who assisted in transforming the bodies of the blessed dead into those wherein they were to live in the realm of Osiris, she was Ament - the "hidden" goddess. As Ament she was declared to be the mother of Ra

• To the Greeks she was known as Demeter and to the Romans as Ceres

• To the Chinese protestors of Red Square as the goddess of Democracy

   

  

   

• And of course the Goddess of the New World - Lady Liberty - Columbia

Attributes of the Goddess

The Goddess can be represented in many different ways.

As Venus she is depicted as, or on a clam shell. She is often depicted as a 5 pointed star, or wearing a pentacle as a crown. There's the Triple Goddess of the 3 phases of the moon. The flag of the District of Columbia has 3 five-pointed stars on it.

As the star Sirius she is the Blazing Star and represents water and the color blue, the Spirit of Wisdom and the Brightly Radiating One or Shinning One.

The sycamore specifically was regarded as a manifestation of the goddesses Nut, Isis and Hathor, who was even given the title, "Lady of the Sycamore." Also as the virgin Columbian Flower with it's 5-Petals.

As Innana, Isis, Athena and Minerva she is often depicted with an Owl.

But perhaps the most attributes come when in the form of Columbia.

She is most often shown with an eagle, broken chains and pottery, a cornucopia, images of George Washington, a laurel wreath, a liberty pole and cap, a liberty tree, an olive branch, a rattlesnake, a shield and a stone tablet.

 

The statue of Columbia that used to stand behind the speaker's chair in the House of Representatives is a fine example. In this one we see the Eagle, and on the other side a snake coiled around a Greek column.

Mother Earth, Primeval Waters, Constellations and Aliens?

Gen.1
[1] In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
[2] And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

Early in Egyptian history, Isis had absorbed the attributes of all the great primitive goddesses, and of all the local goddesses such as

• Nekhebet

• Uatchet

• Net

• Bast, Hathor, etc.,

...and she was even identified as the female counterpart of the primeval abyss of water from which sprang all life.

 

Virgin Mary

The name Mary could have some significance to it's connection with the sea, the Abyss, or the water of life which brings fertility to the land in the form of rain or annual floods.

Usual English form of Maria, which was the Latin form of the New Testament Greek names Μαριαμ (Mariam) or Μαρια (Maria) (the spellings are interchangeable), which were from the Hebrew name מִרְיָם (Miryam). The meaning is not known for certain, but there are several theories including "sea of bitterness."

marine (adj.) Look up marine at Dictionary.com
c.1420, from M.Fr. marin (fem. marine), from O.Fr. marin, from L. marinus (fem. marina) "of the sea," from mare (gen. maris) "sea," from PIE *mori-/*mari- "body of water, lake." Cognate with O.E. mere "sea, lake, pool, pond,"

Isis = Sirius, Osiris = Orion

(The goddess star Sirius) In the ancient Vedas this star was known as the Chieftain's star; in other Hindu writings, it is referred to as Sukra, the Rain God, or Rain Star. The Dog is also described as "he who awakens the gods of the air, and summons them to their office of bringing the rain."

Source

This star was the most important of the stars to the ancient Egyptians, and the heliacal rising of this star came at the time of inundation and the start of the Egyptian New Year.

She marked the Summer solstice

As a goddess of the inundation, Sothis was a goddess of fertility.

She also was linked to the pharaoh and his journey in the afterlife. It is interesting to note that Sirius is associated with the flood season. Located just below the Dog Star there exists a constellation called Argo, the Ship.

Near the Cannis Major constellation is the Columb or Dove constellation, depicted with a twig in it's mouth.

Canis Major and Columba can be seen on the left
 

The Dogon and Sirius

The Dogon are an ethnic group located mainly in the administrative districts of Bandiagara and Douentza in Mali, West Africa. Dogon religion is defined primarily through the worship of the ancestors and the spirits... They were called the 'Nommo.'

The Dogon are famous for their astronomical knowledge taught through oral tradition... referencing the star system, Sirius.

As the story goes... in the late 1930s, four Dogon priests shared their most important secret tradition with two French anthropologists, Marcel Griaule and Germain Dieterlen after they had spent an apprenticeship of fifteen years living with the tribe. These were secret myths about the star Sirius, which is 8.6 light years from the Earth.

The Dogon priests said that Sirius had a companion star that was invisible to the human eye.

They also stated that the star moved in a 50-year elliptical orbit around Sirius, that it was small and incredibly heavy, and that it rotated on its axis. The Dogons calendar is quite non-traditional in that its fifty year cycle is based neither on the Earth's rotation around the Sun (as is our Julian calendar) nor the cycles of the Moon (a lunar calendar).

Instead, the Dogon culture centers around the rotation cycle Sirius B which encircles the primary star Sirius A every 49.9 - or 50 years...

Since 1844, astronomers had suspected that Sirius A had a companion star. This was in part determined when it was observed that the path of the star wobbled. In 1862 Alvan Clark discovered the second star making Sirius a binary star system (two stars).

The Dogon also claimed that a third star Emme Ya - sorghum female - exists in the Sirius system.

It is described by the Dogan as,

"the seat of the female souls of living or future beings."

The Nommo
Author Robert Temple describes the Nommo as amphibious beings sent to Earth from the Sirius star system for the benefit of humankind.

They look like Merfolk; Mermaids and Mermen. They called the Nommo 'Masters of the Water', 'The Monitors', 'The Teachers or Instructors', 'Saviors', and 'Spiritual Guardians'.

The Dogon elder, Ogotemelli, describes Nommo as having the upper part as a man and the lower portion as snake; or as having a ram's head with serpent body.

As The Dog Star

As the major star of the "Big Dog" constellation, Sirius is often called the "Dog Star."

The name "Sirius" comes from the Latin Si-rius, from Greek Seirios, "glowing" or "scorcher." The Arabic word Al Shi'ra resembles the Greek, Roman, and Egyptian names suggesting a common origin in Sanskrit, in which the name Surya, the Sun God, simply means the "shining one."

It was thought that Sirius actually added to earth's heat because it was so bright.

This has been used to describe the origin of the phrase "dog days of summer."

Sirius was an object of wonder and veneration to all ancient peoples throughout human history.

 

The association of Sirius with a celestial dog has been consistent throughout the classical world; even in remote China, the star was identified as a heavenly wolf. In ancient Chaldea (present day Iraq) the star was known as the "Dog Star that Leads," or it was called the "Star of the Dog."

 

In Assyria, it was said to be the "Dog of the Sun." In still older Akkadia, it was named the "Dog Star of the Sun."

In Greek times Aratus referred to Canis Major as the guard-dog of Orion, following on the heels of its master, and standing on its hind legs with Sirius carried in its jaws. Manilius called it the "dog with the blazing face."

Source

She was occasionally depicted as a large dog, or in Roman times, as the goddess Isis-Sopdet, she was shown riding side-saddle on a large dog. Sometimes she was depicted as a seated cow.

She was also given a masculine aspect, and linked with Horus as Sopdet-Horus during the Middle Kingdom. She was also linked with Anubis during Greek Times as Sopdet-Anubis. (Anubis has the head of a dog or jackal.)

 

Sirius and Orion Over Washington

The Congress of Isis and Osiris just so happens to happen above... Congress.

Washington D.C. and many of it's buildings and monuments are laid out according to the cardinal directions with the streets running due NS and EW.

 

In the map of Washington D.C. below, due east is up and the star chart shows the constellation of Orion rising due east over Washington D.C., as it has done every day for the past two hundred years.

 

Orion's belt points towards Sirius, the brightest star in the sky, and while Orion is rising and low on the eastern horizon, Orion's belt is vertical, pointing to Sirius below.

 

 

In relation to the fixed stars, the sun rises later each day due to the rotation of the earth around the sun.

 

The sun rises just after Sirius at the latitude of Washington D.C. on August 15. This is known as the heliacal rising of Sirius. Prior to this time of year, the sun is above or too close to the horizon for the rising of the star to be visible.

 

Ancient Egyptians based their calendar on the heliacal rising of Sirius, which signaled the onset of the annual flooding of the Nile. Christians celebrate the Assumption of the Virgin Mary on August 15, linking the Assumption to the first appearance of Sirius/Isis in the sky just before dawn.

Orion has also set due west at the latitude of Washington D.C. for the past two hundred years.

 

From the viewpoint of the Capitol building, Orion sets right behind the Washington Monument. Setting in the west, Orion's belt is horizontal, pointing to Sirius setting south of due west.

 

From the viewpoint of the Capitol building, Sirius sets over the Potomac River, on the alignment of Maryland Avenue. The bright star above Orion is Aldebaran, the alpha star in the constellation of Taurus.

 

From the viewpoint of the Capitol building, Aldebaran sets over the White House, on the alignment of Pennsylvania Avenue.

It has already been established that the Goddess can be symbolized by an owl.

Columbia and the Constellation of Virgo

The District of Columbia has more astrological symbols than and other city in the world. The capitol city was built from the ground up with a specific esoteric design.

There were many changes however, and some things didn't go exactly to plan.

In David Ovason’s book, The Secret Architecture of our Nation’s Capital ... The District of Columbia and its Federal City were arranged, according to Ovason, so that the constellation of Virgo and its goddess symbolism dominates the structure.

 

Ovason notes that the right triangle of first magnitude stars that contains the constellation Virgo, Arcturus, Regulus and Spica, can also be found in the plan of the Federal city marked by the location of the Capital, the President’s House and the Washington Monument.

 

And he also notes that the consecration ceremonies for these sites all include prominent astrological connections to Virgo...

 

 

This earth/sky alignment can be seen every year, weather permitting, around August 10^th, as the sun sets down the Pennsylvania avenue sight line from the Capital, the great triangle enclosing Virgo appears in the darkening sky.

 

It was not as obvious 200 years ago when the plan was laid out, but now, at the moment of culmination, the alignment is clear and unmistakable.

 

As Ovason insists, it is plain that from its inception, the District of Columbia, and the Federal City,

“was intended to celebrate the mysteries of Virgo - of the Egyptian Isis, the Grecian Ceres and the Christian Virgin."

Pierre-Charles L’Enfant and the Design of Washington

Pierre-Charles L’Enfant... adventurous Frenchman and a contemporary of Weishaupt, who was primarily responsible for the name and design of the District of Columbia...

 

Pierre was educated first as an artist, where he studied the science of landscape design from the works of Andre le Notre, who designed the great historical axis of Paris, and then as a soldier, where he learned the art of fortification.

 

In 1776, as a lieutenant, he joined his regimental Masonic lodge where he met the Marquis de Lafayette and many other young Frenchmen fired up by the new ideals of liberty and equality. In 1777, he offered his services to the new Continental Army of General Washington, and was appointed a captain of engineers...

 

When he learned, in 1789, that his old friend General Washington was planning to establish a new federal capital down in Virginia, L’Enfant wrote directly to him, announcing that,

“…no nation, perhaps, had ever before the opportunity offered them of deliberately deciding on the spot where their capital city should be fixed.”

Arriving in Georgetown early in 1791, armed with Washington’s instructions to assist the current surveyors... L’Enfant quickly took charge...

 

Andrew Ellicott, the chief surveyor was a knowledgeable astronomer, and he undoubtedly helped fix the precise point on the horizon marking the August11th sunset.

 

This angle, 22 degrees north of west, did double duty, pointing to the sunset where, 200 years later, the triangle containing Virgo would appear in the sky and also marking the September 18^th rising of Sirius over the Capital. This one alignment, from the Capital to the White House, graphically unites the two most prominent astronomical goddess images, Sirius and Virgo.

L’Enfant’s plan was changed through the years, and his steadfast defense of certain points led to his being considered difficult. He wanted to keep intact not only the precise sightlines of his alignments... L’Enfant’s idea was to preserve a direct view of the western horizon for the mid-August time period when the Virgo triangle appeared in the sky... the earthly reflection of the Virgo triangle.

 

While this view has been destroyed, the careful angle of Pennsylvania Avenue from the Capital to the White House still allows us to identify the crucial moment of revelation.

The Goddess of... Revelations?

Revelation 12:

[1] And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars.
[2] And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
[3] And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
[4] And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
[5] And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.

The moment the sages of 1177 foresaw, just after the turn of the seventh millennium of the Hebrew calendar and the beginning of the third Christian millennium, the alignment of eclipse cycle and the sacred calendars, occurred on October 3/4^th, 2005, and two days later, on October 5/6^th, the great portent appeared in the sky.

 

The sun in Virgo, from a sidereal perspective, falling on the Virgin’s robed shoulder, “clothed by the Sun,” a thin crescent moon on the cusp of Virgo/Libra, “with the Moon under her feet,” and “pregnant” with the conjunction of Mercury, Jupiter and the alpha star of Virgo, Spica, at the level of her womb.

 

“Crowned with twelve stars,” suggests the return of the cusp of Virgo/Leo, ancient starting point of the zodiac, to the fall equinox.

 

The Red Dragon, even with all its evil connotations, can be seen as the Head of the Dragon marking the solar eclipse, waiting to eat the child, the Sun/Son, the moment it is born.

So, in Washington City, at noon on October 5/6th, 2005, even though the sun was veiling the event, the Great Portent moved into alignment over the city’s monuments. The White House’s south front would have been a good place to view it, and in our computer view, that’s our observation point.

 

As the Sun touched the meridian on October 5^th, the whole of the Portent spread out to the east, from meridian to eastern horizon.

 

The first thing we notice is that the Washington Monument is not due south of the White House, as L’Enfant planned. It is offset to the east just enough to align with the fixed star Spica and the conjunction of Jupiter and Mercury. This is apparently not accidental, as the dedication ceremony for its present location, done in 1880, was aligned down the Mall with the rising of Spica...

 

Further down the Mall to the east is the new Moon, on the Virgo/Libra cusp, under the feet of Virgo, and beyond that in Libra is Venus.

Esoteric and Occult Goddess worship has culminated in the design and purpose of Washington D.C.

Embodied as the Goddess Columbia, who is the new face of an old deity. According to this website (www.goddesscolumbia.com), the design in D.C. was meant to be fulfilled in recent time, and was not exactly aligned until now.

The great 'wonder in heaven' of revelations occurred in October of 2005.

According to the dates set forth in the book of Daniel, Mt. Zion will be in the hands of unbelievers for 2,300 years.

• The Greeks conquered Israel in 333BC and 2,300 years later in 1967AD the Jews re-conquered it after the 6-Day War.

• The two other periods linked with the abomination of the Temple are 1,290 and 1,335 years.

• The Muslims turned the Dome of the Rock into a mosque in 677, and 1,290 years later in 1967 east Jerusalem was annexed by Israel.

• The other period is 1,335 years after the Muslims captured the Temple.

• And that is 45 years after 1967, or 2012.

Another suggested origin of "Carnival" is "Carrus Navalis" meaning "ship cart" (of Isis => Venus).

Equally telling, November 8 would have been the last day of Carnival if counted (46 days) from Christmas instead of Easter, i.e. birth instead of re-birth, practically interchangeable.

The week or so preceding November 9 (start of Lent/fasting) would have then signified the core period of Carnival a la the Mardi Gras celebrations. This was when the word "tsunami" was being tossed around in the media in reference to the November 2nd US midterm election. A "tsunami warning"...

We now know that the sun ranges to 23.5 degrees from the equator, the moon ranges to 28.5, and Mercury ranges to 31 degrees. We also know that a hexagon touches a circle or sphere at 30 degrees, which is pretty close to Mercury's range. Heliopolis and the Great Pyramid were located close to 30 degrees north latitude. Behdet was located at 31 degrees. Jerusalem is at 31+ degrees. While the diagonals of an equilateral triangle are 30 degrees, the diagonals of a 52 degree triangle are 23+ degrees. The diagonal of the rectangle formed by the Station Stones at the Stonehenge form 23 degree angles. The Washington D.C. map features a large 52 degree triangle with 23 degree diagonals.

Now consider the dimensions of the Ark of the Covenant which are given as 2.5x1.5x1.5 cubits. We can convert this to 5x3x3. As 3/5 = .6, and the tangent of 31 degrees is .6, we see that the diagonals of the ark produce 31 degree angles. The dimensions of Noah's Ark are given as 300x50x30, so that the end of that forms the same rectangle.

Remember that the Ark of the Covenant, Noah's Ark, the Tabernacle and the Temple were all rectangular. Remember also that it doesn't matter how big or small you make these things, the ratio of the parts will always be the same.

 

Noah's Ark

It has already been shown that 300x50x30 converts to 360x60x36, where 360x60 is a rectangle sixty degrees wide around the globe. The magic square of the sun consists of the first thirty six numbers (6x6). The sun is associated with the number six. Noah's Ark is described in Genesis Chapter 6 where Noah is 600 years old.

In Daniel Chapter 3, the king has an 'image' built that is described as being 6x60. If we multipy by 5 we get the 300x30 of Noah's Ark.

In Hamlet's Mill, the authors suggest that the entity who told Gilgamesh to build his ark was Saturn. His ark was a 60x60x60 cube. Saturn is associated with the number three. The magic square of Saturn consists of the first nine numbers (3x3) which total to forty five, where any row, column or diagonal adds to 15. In Genesis 7 we read that clean beasts were brought in by sevens, that the waters prevailed to 15 cubits, 150 days.

Take the ark dimensions 300x50x30; 3x3 = 9, 3x5 = 15, 3x3x5 = 45, all Saturn numbers.

The altar in front of the Tabernacle is described as being 5x5 (a Mars square) and 3 cubits tall. He we see the same rectangle with the 31 degree Mercury angle and the 15 Saturn constant. Mercury is the closest to the sun, and it is the most erratic with the widest range, so it is viewed as the guide of the souls and patron of boundaries and limits, geometry, survey etc. Saturn was the furthest of the classical planets, and Saturns period agreed fairly closely with the 28 years repeating solar calendar, and was associated with the general notion of time keeping.

Looking at the dimensions given for the Temple we see 60x20x30. The Holy of Holies is 20x20x20. This conceptually leaves a 40x20 section. From an overhead view we are presented with three 20x20 squares end to end. Diagonals of these give us 1:1, 1:2 and 1:3 ratios for 45, 30 and 18.5 degrees. The 1:4 ratio used by mesoamerican ballcourts produced 14 degree diagonals.

The diagonal of a 60x20 rectangle produces an 18.5 degree angle with a tangent of .333. The sine of 19.47 is also .3333. Looking at the coffer in the King's Chamber in the Great Pyrmaid from overhead we find the inside dimensions to be 78.06x26.81 . That is a 19 degree diagonal. The section of Pennsylvania Avenue betwen the White House and the Capitol is at 19.5 degrees, while the diagonals formed by the pentagram are 23 degrees.

Looking at the outside dimensions of the coffer we find 89.62x38.5 . That is a 23 degree diagonal. The Parthenon in Athens is 100x225 Greek feet. That is a 4:9 (400:900) ratio, and 4/9= .444. The diagonal of that rectangle produces a 24 degree angle.

 

St. Mary's Chapel at Glastonbury

If you search the King James Version of the Bible (KJV) you will see that the word 'triangle' does not appear there. If you look for the word 'circle', you find it only once. In Isiah 40:22 we see the Lord described as "he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth... that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in".

According to Albert Pike "Hermes calls the Zodiac, the Great Tent, Tabernaculum". In Exodus 25 we read "Let them make me a sanctuary; that I might dwell among them. According to all that I shew thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle... make the tabernacle with ten curtains". The curtains are described as being 28x4 cubits. The solar calendar repeats every 28 years, and 28/4 = 7. Then there is the candlestick with seven candles.

360/9 = 40, as in forty years in the desert, forty days in the desert of forty days of rain. 360/10 = 36. Egyptians are said to have honored a right triangle with 36 and 54 degree angles. (tan 36 = .726). They supposdly also honored the 3-4-5 right triangle where the perimeter equaled 12, and the area equaled 6. (tan 37 = .754). Five of the curtains sown together would be 28x20; 20/28 = .714. (tan 35.5 = .713). (Not too bad for using whole number ratios.)

The numbers 5 and 25 are associated with altars and sanctuaries. In Exodus 25 we read, "Let them make me a sanctuary", and in Ezekiel 45 we read "[2] Of this there shall be for the sanctuary five hundred in length, with five hundred in breadth, square round about; and fifty cubits round about for the suburbs thereof. [3] And of this measure shalt thou measure the length of five and twenty thousand, and the breadth of ten thousand: and in it shall be the sanctuary and the most holy place".

Ezek.42 [20] "He measured it by the four sides: it had a wall round about, five hundred reeds long, and five hundred broad, to make a separation between the sanctuary and the profane place." Ezek.48 [8] "And by the border of Judah, from the east side unto the west side, shall be the offering which ye shall offer of five and twenty thousand reeds in breadth, and in length as one of the other parts, from the east side unto the west side: and the sanctuary shall be in the midst of it."

In Numbers 2 we read of the Hebrew camp in the desert where the tabernacle shall set in the midst of the camp surrounded by the 12 tribes. In Ezekiel and the Revelation we see the same distribution of the tribes, three to the north, three to the east, three south, and three west. There the tribes are associated with gates of a legendary city. With Judah, the lion, on the east side toward the rising sun, it is easy to see that the 12 signs of the zodiac are being depicted.

In Revelation 21 we read that the city measure 12,000 furlongs in length, breadth and height. The wall measured 144 cubits. In Ezekiel 48 the city measures 4,500 on each side, or 18,000 round about. Saturn's numbers are 3, 9 and 45. 2+1 = 3. 1+4+4 = 9. 4+5 = 9. 1+8 = 9.

 

 

The caption reads horoscope prepared by Johannes Kepler. You can probably tell that the inner square lies within the 30 degree latitude lines generated by the vesica. That square lies just inside Mercury's range, meaning that all the planets belong inside the inner square and all the zodiac signs belong outside the outer square.

 

What Shape the Lodge or Temple

 

Earlier we saw that the paths of heavenly bodies create the figures on which ancient stone circles were based, and that the shape of those figures change as our latitude changes. In terms of desinging a Universal Lodge or Temple, we are confronted with a need to represent these astronomical lines in as simple manner as possible. Hopefully using whole number ratios, and recalling that a lodge is designed for initiations, while a temple is designed for worship.

Mesoamericans created a ball court that was 1:4 with a 14 degree diagonal that was based on the movement of Mercury around the sun. The center line was the ecliptic, the sun's path. The game was played within 7 degrees on either side of the sun conceptually.

Other than that we are interested in 23.5, 28.5 and 31 degrees, those being the range of the sun, moon and Mercury. Three whole number rectangles come to mind. The tangent of 26.5 is .5, or 1:2. The sine of 30 is .5, or 1:2 again. The 3x5 rectangle gives tangent of .6, for 31 degrees. Masons who recommend that the lodge floor should be a double square do so because the diagonal is 26.5, very near 27, or three cubed. Nine cubed is 729, one short of the number of days and nights in the year. Twenty seven is an average of 23.5 and 31.

Unfortunately, the moon and Mercury range outside this area. The 3x5 ark appears to be the best candidate. Unless you only intend to mark the sun's path. As we saw, the outside dimensions of the coffer generate 23 degree diagonals. That is, it conceptually fits inside the Ark of the Covenant. We are reminded of nested Egyptian coffins. The stone tablets of the Law go in the ark, the ark goes in the Holy of Holies, which is in the Temple, in the sanctuary.

Continue to a look at the Didymaion: The Temple of Apollo at Didyma.

Schlamme, Sorkin leave NBC's 'Wing'


The Hollywood Reporter, May 02, 2003

By Scott Collins

A couple of veterans are leaving the White House.

Just days after scripting a cliffhanger fourth-season finale for NBC's multiple Emmy- winning presidential drama "The West Wing," creator Aaron Sorkin added a surprising epilogue, saying Thursday that he and executive producer Thomas Schlamme are exiting the series.

Sorkin, credited with writing nearly all of the show's 88 episodes so far, apparently made his final decision to exit Thursday morning …

What, you may ask, do “birds,” “floods,” a well-known and popular political TV drama, its creator’s unexpected resignation … and the sitting Vice President of the United States have to do with each other? And, what possible connection could there be between these seemingly totally unrelated events, current Washington newsmakers … and The Enterprise Mission?

As it turns out, quite a bit.

To properly grasp the message here, we must start, as all good stories do, somewhere near the beginning …

The "bird" that U2's lead singer Bono is referring to in the band's recent hit song, "Beautiful Day," is actually a dove. The reference comes from the Biblical tale of Noah who, as we all know, survived the Great Flood in an "ark" made to instructions passed down from Yahweh, the Hebrew God.

Perhaps far less well known, even to the well-read lead singer of the Irish rock group, is that the original Biblical reference is actually a retelling of a far older tale, one that originates in the "cradle of civilization" -- ancient Sumer (Iraq). In the Sumerian version of the Flood, the Annunaki ("Those who from Heaven to Earth came down") god Enki informs his favorite slave, a human named Ziusudra, that the Earth will soon experience a cataclysm -- a pole shift, to be precise. He then instructs Ziusudra to construct a boat -- the Ark -- in an effort to survive the coming "flood." He also informs Ziusudra that he should enlist the other humans to construct his Ark, but not to tell them why they are building it.

In many ways, the Sumerian version of the tale makes far more sense than the more widely disseminated Biblical version. In the Old Testament condensation, the omnipotent Hebrew God decides that man is wicked and that he must wash the presence of the human race from the Earth completely. He then changes his mind and decides that some humans are worth preserving after all, and enlists Noah to build a great Ark -- basically a submarine -- to very exacting specifications laid out in the Bible itself. Noah is also instructed to bring “two of each of the Earth's animals” with him, in order to preserve the species for the post-diluvial world.

Now why an all seeing, all knowing, all powerful deity would a) change his mind, and b) not just come up with something a little more specifically targeted at the "wicked" humans, instead of an indiscriminantly destructive global Flood, is not ever really made clear in the texts. Conversely, the Sumerian version makes quite a bit more sense if you view the Flood as an actual historical event.

Summed up quite nicely in an ancient Akkadian successor text, called "The Epic of Gilgamesh," the Akkadian version tells the story of a human named Utnapishtim (Ziusudra in Sumerian) who was a servant to an Annunaki god (with a small "G") named Enki. Enki and the other Annunaki had come to Earth eons before and according to some interpretations of the texts (ala Zacheria Sitchin), “had fashioned Man from a mixing of their own DNA with that of primitive hominids then populating the Earth.” According to this non-mainstream theory, the Annunaki had become aware of a significant catastrophe, a pole shift, which was due to strike the Earth. Enki's brother, Enlil -- Enki's rival in the internecine political intrigue that engulfed the Annunaki ruling class -- convinced the Annunaki king Ea (later, “Ra” in the Egyptian) that mankind was a threat, and that the Annunaki should allow the humans to be wiped out in the coming pole shift. Enki, who had played a major role in the creation of Man, was less than happy about the decision and plotted to thwart it by tipping off his favorite servant, the aforementioned Utnapishtim/Ziusudra.

Utnapishtim/Ziusudra then gets the people of the local village (the ED.IN) to build him his Ark -- but without telling them of the coming "flood" or why they are building the ship. Subsequently, Utnapishtim/Ziusudra, Enki, and a few of their closest assocociates and allies escape in the Ark, leaving the rank and file populace behind to die in the Cataclysm.

In the end, a dove is let loose and when it returns with a leaf in its mouth, as portrayed in the classical depiction of the constellation Columba (above), the survivors of the Great Flood know it is safe to exit the Ark and resume their lives on dry land.

There is a great deal more detail to these stories in Zecharia Sitchin's book "The 12th Planet," and other volumes in his “Earth Chronicles” series. But the key point is that the dove is overtly symbolic of the Flood, pole shifts, and ultimately Columba.

We have, of course, extensively covered the significance of Columba in our own "End of Days" series, here at Enterprise. In short, Columba was carved out of several other preexisting constellations in the 17^th Century for one sole purpose -- to serve as a portent, or marker, to those “in the Know,” of the next Flood, the next coming "pole shift" ….

We have also reminded readers regularly of the significance of the key coded markers of our own Hyperdimensional Physics, the now ubiquitous numbers of 19.5° and 33°. Both are not only significant to the physics model derived by Hoagland and Torun from the ruins of Cydonia, but have even been immortalized by NASA, who chose those exact symbolic coordinates for the landing site of the 1997 Mars Pathfinder mission.

The connection between the two numbers is definitely “non-trivial.” In fact, it’s fundamental. The actual contact point of a circumscribed tetrahedron (see above) is precisely 19.47°, rounded up to the canonical "19.5°." The sine of 19.47° is .3333 (which, by the way, is where we believe the significance of the mysterious Masonic “33rd Degree” comes from). We have noted numerous instances of both "19.5's" and "33's" in various NASA missions, activities and symbols over the years, and the fact is that "decimal harmonics," i.e. 3.33 or 33.3, also seem to show up repeatedly in our analysis.

Which is why we were caught a bit off guard last week while watching an episode of Aaron Sorkin’s popular NBC political drama, “The West Wing.” Specifically, we were left wondering just what the hell “a bird” (and not just any bird -- but a dove) was doing … exactly 19.5 minutes into the episode, tapping the following code onto a window in the White House .…

3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3 ....

The episode, titled "Life on Mars," reminiscent not only of Kubrick and Clarke's famed "2001," but also of the more recent revelations by first "X-Files" creator Chris Carter (who was so unnerved by our code-breaking exposé of one particular X-files a few years ago, that he called Art Bell the day after it was posted, out of the "clear blue" -- and after five years of fruitless pursuit by Bell -- to ask for airtime to deny the specifics of our story). It is also reminiscent of a recent NBC “confession” by former senator and astronaut John Glenn. And just like those weird prior occurrences, this foray by Sorkin into “the realm of the unimaginable” is in precisely the medium called for by the infamous Brookings study -- an entertainment media.

What we would expect, if Sorkin is truly following in the Brookings-laced footsteps of Kubrick, Carter and Glenn before him, is for him to make his points in precisely the same "tetrahedral code" so enamoring to the NASA/Masonic crowd. Well, guess what?

That's exactly what he did.

But don't take our word for it. Let's break this episode down, line-by-line.
