That's right: Sirius rises at 26 degrees south of east, or bearing 116 degrees, from the latitude of Paris, and this is the direction in which the Champs Elysées is aligned.
The Champs Elysées. The name is French for "Elysian Fields":
Quote:
Elysium or the Elysian Fields (Ancient Greek: Ἠλύσιον πεδίον, Ēlýsion pedíon) is a conception of the afterlife that evolved over time and was maintained by certain Greek religious and philosophical sects, and cults. Initially separate from the realm of Hades, admission was initially reserved for mortals related to the gods and other heroes. Later, it expanded to include those chosen by the gods, the righteous, and the heroic, where they would remain after death, to live a blessed and happy life, and indulging in whatever employment they had enjoyed in life.
Remember how the novel Arch of Triumph 1948 describes the Arc de Triomphe?: as the "huge gate to Hades"
Now, the star Sirius, which is the star associated with Isis, rises from Paris every day at 116 degrees, but it does so at a different time each day.
On August 31 each year, and on August 31 1997, Sirius rises about 5:30am. That means that if you had stood in the Champs Elysées and sighted along the avenue, before dawn on the morning that Diana died, you would see this sight: or at least, this is a version of what it would look like stitched together out of Google earth and Stellarium.
I got a bit more creative:
Then, a few minutes later, the moon rose, though it was almost imperceptible. Nevertheless it was there: so this was the scene in the skies to the east of Paris, literally as the official announcement of the death of Diana was made. Sirius rising through the Arc de Triomphe and along the Champs Elysées, and the moon further to the north, breaking the horizon within minutes. The moon, Diana, and Sirius, Isis, hovering over the city waking up to the news.
So how is Diana equal to Isis, or Sirius?
Diana was born with the sun conjunct Sirius. Her astrology chart for those of you who are happy with that kind of thing, is here. Her natal sun is at 9 degrees 40 minutes of Cancer, and Sirius is at 13 degrees 32 minutes of Cancer, which is within the orb of a conjunction.
So Diana's sun at birth is conjunct Sirius!
Now this is true for any one who is born on July 1, or a day or two either side. Like Charles Laughton. Anyone with a July 1 birthday is a fitting archetype, potentially, for Isis, as their sun, or individuality, aligns with that of Isis.
Diana certainly steps into her archetypes, no question of that, as the images above show, and plenty more to come on that.
There are enough clues on the table now to be able to bring some ideas into focus.
Elysian Fields. Gate to Hades. Arc de Triomphe sited on the "star", symbol of Isis. Champs Elysées aligned to the rising of Sirius=Isis. Paris as ancient temple of Isis. Isis who came to Paris on a boat. Diana, who came to Paris on a boat, whose name was changed to Osiris. The moon at it's lowest ebb, at it's darkest, at it's nadir. Death, as the moon is extinguished.
And then rebirth, as Sirius rises above the horizon, reborn, through the gates, the portals, of the Arch of Triumph.
This is a ritual, a theatrical presentation, a play that runs without a script yet everything, somehow, happens right on cue. Down to the minute. Yet it seems to resonate across the centuries, even the millennia...
Si nous savons aujourd'hui que le Soleil est une étoile, il n'en a pas toujours été ainsi. L'écart de luminosité est tel qu'il était, en effet, bien difficile à nos ancêtres d'imaginer que les pointes de lumière qui parsèment le ciel nocturne n'étaient rien d'autres que des soleils tout à fait comparables au nôtre.
La raison de cette différence ? Les distances extraordinaires, hors de toute échelle humaine, qui nous séparent des étoiles. Mais comment les appréhender et les mesurer précisément ?
De nos jours encore, calculer les distances, les dimensions, et plus généralement, se faire une idée des ordres de grandeur reste l'une des tches principales des astronomes. Peut-on vraiment parler d'une galaxie sans d'abord faire référence à son immensité ? Comment expliquer le fonctionnement d'une étoile sans évoquer sa masse gigantesque qui comprime la matière en son coeur jusqu'à lui permettre de fusionner ?
C'est à ce petit jeu des mesures que je vous convie aujourd'hui, en vous proposant, par le calcul, de découvrir comment il est possible d'estimer le diamètre de Sirius, l'étoile la plus brillante du ciel.
En montrant qu'une étoile et le Soleil sont de dimension comparable, on dispose d'un élément important pour comprendre que ce sont des astres de même nature. Au dix-neuvième siècle, la spectroscopie en prouvant l'identité de leur composition est venue confirmer l'hypothèse.
Ce calcul est, sinon plus difficile, du moins peut-être un peu plus long que ceux déjà publiés sur ce site. Il suppose un minimum de connaissances en astronomie.
1 : Nous calculerons la Magnitude absolue de Sirius. Elle sera déterminée à partir de la magnitude apparente (connue) et de la distance que nous estimerons via la parallaxe.
2 : Nous déterminerons le rapport de luminosité (éclat) des deux étoiles, (c'est à dire de combien Sirius est plus brillante que le Soleil).
3 : Puis, connaissant les températures de surfaces du Soleil et de Sirius, nous comparerons le rayonnement par unité de surface de ces deux astres (nous verrons ainsi de combien, pour une surface donnée, Sirius est plus brillante que le Soleil).
4 : Enfin, en comparant les magnitudes absolues des deux étoiles pondérées de leur luminosité surfacique nous déterminerons le rapport de surface des deux astres et par là leur rapport de taille et donc le diamètre absolu de Sirius(la taille du Soleil étant connue). Nous en déduirons aussi le diamètre apparent (angulaire) de Sirius.
5 : Nous comparerons ces résultats à des mesures faites au VLT afin de vérifier leur vraisemblance.
6 : Afin de fixer les idées et les ordres de grandeur dans l'Univers, nous verrons ensuite à quelle distance il faudrait situer une pièce de un euro pour qu'elle apparaisse sous le même diamètre angulaire que Sirius.
note : Tous les logarithmes utilisés au cours de ces calculs sont décimaux.
1 Détermination de la Magnitude Absolue de Sirius.
a , calcul de la distance de Sirius
Rappel : Le (ou la) parallaxe d'une étoile est la mesure angulaire de son déplacement apparent sur la voute céleste lorsque l'observateur (sur Terre en général) se déplace de une unité astronomique selon un axe perpendiculaire à la ligne de visée. Le rapport (1 / parallaxe (en secondes d'arc)) donne la distance de l'étoile en parsecs.
Parallaxe de Sirius : 0,371"
Donc, distance de Sirius (en parsecs) = 1 / 0,371 = 2,695 Parsecs
Soit en mètres : 3,086 x 1016 m x 2,695 = 8,317 x 1016 m, c'est à dire un peu plus de 80 000 milliards de kilomètres ou environ 8,8 années lumière.
b, calcul de la Magnitude Absolue visuelle de Sirius (Msir)
Rappel : Le Module de distance est la différence (m - M) entre les magnitudes apparentes et absolues. Par construction il s'annule quand un astre est situé à 10 parsecs, à cette distance, les deux magnitudes sont égales. (Pour plus d'informations sur ce point voir module de distance et magnitude).
La formule liant distance et module de distance est :
m - M = 5 log d - 5
En remplaçant m et d par leurs valeurs pour Sirius, nous obtenons :
- 1,43 - M = 5 log 2,695 - 5
En remplaçant log 2,695 par sa valeur : (0,431)
- 1,43 - M = 5 x 0,431 - 5
- 1,43 - M = 2,153 - 5
- M = 2,153 - 5 +1,43
- M = 2,153 - 3,570
- M = - 1,417
M = 1,417 soit, en arrondissant :
MSirius= 1,42
c, calcul des Magnitudes Absolues Bolométriques de Sirius et du Soleil
Rappel : La magnitude bolométrique (qu'elle soit absolue ou apparente) est la mesure de la lumière reçue d'une étoile en intégrant le rayonnement dans toutes les longueurs d'ondes. Ce rayonnement est donc plus fort que dans le seul domaine visible. Comme l'échelle des magnitudes est inversée, le passage de la magnitude visuelle à la magnitude bolométrique nécessite l'ajout d'une valeur négative appelée correction bolométrique (CB). Des tables donnent la valeur de cette correction qui diffère selon la température de l'étoile (et donc sa couleur dominante). Plus une étoile s'éloigne de l'astre de référence (Type stellaire F5 ayant une température de surface de 6 500 K et pour laquelle CB =0) ) plus la correction bolométrique est importante parce qu'une partie de son rayonnement se situe hors du domaine de mesure des magnitudes visibles. Ce manque peut se situer vers l'infrarouge pour les étoiles froides ou vers l'ultraviolet pour les étoiles chaudes.
De façon générale : Mbol = M visuelle + BC
Comme les corrections bolométriques pour Sirius et pour le Soleil sont respectivement - 0,64 et - 0,11 nous obtenons :
Mbol Sirius = 1,42 - 0,64 = 0,78
Mbol Soleil = 4,83 - 0,11 = 4,72
2, Comparaison des luminosités des deux astres
Rappel : La relation entre les rapports d'éclat absolu ( E : mesure de la puissance du rayonnement de l'étoile) et la différence de Magnitude absolue ( M : mesure de cette puissance dans le système des magnitudes) de deux astres A et B est donnée par la formule dite de Pogson qui s'écrit :
M (A) - M (B) = - 2,5 log ( E(A) / E(B) )
Rem : La formule serait identique si nous comparions éclat apparent et magnitude apparente. D'autre part, nous utiliserons désormais pour la suite des calculs les Magnitudes absolues bolométriques déterminées plus haut sans systématiquement rappeler leur caractère bolométrique dans les notations).
Ainsi dans notre cas : (A est identifié à Sirius et B au Soleil)
M (Sirius) - M (Soleil) = - 2,5 log (E(Sirius) / E (Soleil) )
En remplaçant par les valeurs données ou trouvées ci-dessus :
0,78 - 4,72 = - 2,5 log (E (Sirius) / E (Soleil) )
- 3,94 = - 2,5 log (E (Sirius) / E (Soleil) )
-3,94 / - 2,5 = log (E (Sirius) / E (Soleil) )
1,576 = log (E (Sirius) / E (Soleil) )
En mettant 10 à la puissance des deux termes de l'équation :
101,576 = 10 log (E(Sirius) / E (Soleil) )
En remplaçant 101,576 par sa valeur : 37,67
37,67 = 10 log (E(Sirius) / E (Soleil) )
Comme 10log a redonne a : (a étant identifié à : E (Sirius) / E (Soleil) )
37,67 = Eclat de Sirius / Eclat du Soleil
Toute longueurs d'ondes confondues, Sirius est donc près de 38 fois plus lumineuse que le Soleil !
3, Comparaison de la luminosité surfacique de Sirius et du Soleil
Rappel : la luminosité d'un corps est proportionnelle à la puissance quatrième de sa température de surface (en K) ainsi qu' à sa surface (en mètres carrés). La relation entre rayonnement, température et surface est donnée par la formule dite de Stephan qui s'écrit : L =sST4 )L étant la luminosité (en watts) et s la constante de Stephan , nous n'avons pas besoin ici de cette formule mais pour voir un exemple d'utilisation, consulter l'article: De combien nous réchauffe l'Effet de Serre ? .
T° Sirius = 9 230 K, T° Soleil = 5 850 K
Le rapport des deux températures de surface est donc de :
9 230 K / 5 850 K = 1,578
La luminosité étant proportionnelle à la puissance quatrième de la température, pour une surface donnée, Sirius rayonne 1,5784 fois plus que le Soleil, soit :
1,5784 = 6,197
Remarque : A cause de cet élément en puissance 4, la précision du résultat est très fortement dépendante de la précision des mesures de température des deux étoiles. Un faible écart sur ce point peut donner un résultat sensiblement différent. Ces températures sont estimées par spectroscopie ( loi de Wien et plus fondamentalement de Plank)
4,Détermination du diamètre de Sirius.
a, calcul du diamètre de Sirius
Sirius rayonne globalement 37,67 fois plus que le Soleil mais par unité de surface elle rayonne 6,19 fois plus (du fait de sa température plus élevée).
Sa surface est donc 37,67 / 6,19 fois plus grande que celle de notre Soleil.
37,67 / 6,19 = 6,09.
Comme une surface d'un corps est proportionnelle au carré de sa taille, cette taille elle-même est proportionnelle à la racine carrée de sa surface.
Le diamètre de Sirius est donc égal à racine carrée de 6,09 (fois celui du Soleil)
6,091/2 = 2,47
Sirius est 2,5 fois plus grande que notre Soleil, celui-ci ayant un diamètre de 1 392 000 kilomètres, Le diamètre de Sirius est donc de :
1 392 000 x 2,47 = 3 438 240 kilomètres
Une telle précision est évidemment illusoire, retenons comme résultat de notre estimation :
Diamètre de Sirius : 3 400 000 kilomètres
b, calcul du diamètre apparent de Sirius
Pour de petits angles, c'est le cas ici, le diamètre angulaire d'un objet exprimé en radian est égal au ratio : Diamètre / Distance (de cet objet par rapport à l'observateur).
En remplaçant le diamètre et la distance par leurs valeurs, respectivement 3,4 x109 m et 8,317 x 1016 m, nous obtenons le diamètre angulaire de Sirius qui vaut donc :
3,4 x 109 m / 8,317 x 1016 m = 4,088 x 10-8 radians.
Un radian correspondant à 206 264,8 secondes d'arc (")
Le diamètre de apparent de Sirius dans le ciel est de :
4,088 x 10-8 x 206 264,8" = 0, 008 43 "
Il s'agit là d'un angle infime. Une seconde d'arc (notée ") correspond à un 3 600ème de degré et donc 0,008 " (moins de un centième de seconde) représente seulement un 450 000ème de degré.
5,Comparaison avec les mesures effectuées au VLT
En 2001, une campagne de mesures a été menée au Very Large Telescope (VLT) en utilisant les techniques d'interférométrie. Compte tenu de la petitesse angulaire des étoiles vues depuis la Terre, très peu d'astres sont susceptibles de faire l'objet de telles mesures.
Pour Sirius on a trouvé un diamètre de 0,009 29 secondes d'arc (+/- 0,000 17") soit en radians :0,009 29 / 206 264,8 = 4,5 x 10-8 radians
A partir de cette mesure nous pouvons déduire le diamètre effectif de Sirius
En remplaçant la distance par sa valeur : (8,317 x 1016 m) dans l'équation : (diamètre / distance) = angle (si exprimé en radians), nous obtenons:
Diamètre de Sirius (m) / 8,317 x 1016 (m) = 4,5 x 10-8
Diamètre de Sirius (m) = 4,5 x 10-8 x 8,317 x 1016m = 3,743 x 109 m
Diamètre de Sirius = 3,7 millions de kilomètres (Valeur arrondie)
Cette valeur est assez proche de celle que nous avions calculée (3,4 millions de kilomètres), puisque l'écart est d'environ 10 %. Notre estimation était donc parfaitement vraisemblable. Beaucoup de données en astronomie ne sont d'ailleurs pas connues avec une telle précision. Notre petit calcul permet donc déjà d'établir un ordre de grandeur tout à fait respectable.
6, A quoi correspond un tel diamètre ?
Pour se faire une idée de ce que représentent ces ordres de grandeur, assimilons Sirius à un objet de la vie courante, une pièce de un euro par exemple.
A quelle distance faudrait-il placer une pièce de un euro pour qu'elle occupe dans le ciel un angle comparable à celui de Sirius ?
Il suffit de résoudre l'équation égalisant les ratios: diamètre / distance pour chacun des deux objets: c'est à dire trouver DP (Distance de la Pièce, en mètres) dans l'équation suivante :
Diamètre de Sirius / Distance de Sirius = Diamètre de la Pièce / DP
Pour le diamètre de Sirius, retenons les données du VLT.
Diamètre de Sirius = 3,750 x 109 m
Distance de Sirius = 8,317 x 1016 m
Diamètre d'une pièce de un euro = 23,25 mm soit : 2,325 x 10-2 m
Distance de cette pièce = DP (l'inconnue recherchée)
(3,750 x 109 / 8,317 x 1016 ) = 2,325 x 10-2 / DP
(3,750 x 109 / (8,317x 1016 x 2,325 x 10-2) ) = 1/DP
(3,750 x109 / 1,933 x 1015) = 1 / DP
1,933 x 1015 / 3,750 x 109 = DP
1,933 x 1015-9 / 3,750 = DP
0,515 x 106 = DP
5,150 x 105 = DP
Distance de la Pièce = 515 000 mètres soit 515 kilomètres.
Il faudrait donc placer une pièce de un euro à 515 kilomètres de l'observateur pour qu'elle présente le même diamètre apparent que Sirius vue de la Terre (c'est approximativement la distance qui sépare Paris de Montélimar à vol d'oiseau). Pour que sa luminosité soit équivalente il faudrait également la chauffer à 9 230 K (ce qui ne serait pas facile, de plus, à une telle température, la pièce se trouverait gazéifiée !)
Ainsi, les étoiles, malgré leurs dimensions gigantesques, ne représentent que d'infimes îlots de matière perdus dans notre galaxie, la Voie Lactée. Sirius est pourtant parmi les plus proches.
The crisp autumn air saunters across the cobblestones of the courtyard lit by the warm glow from gas lamps. Nestled in a horseshoe of majestic Baroque buildings, the modern glass pyramid of the Musee´de Louvre seems both incongruous and yet oddly at home amid the splendour of the surrounding 17th century architecture. In one moment the ancient and the modern rub shoulders as if suggesting a continuity of some grand purpose. Indeed, to stand in front of this diamond of glass and steel is to experience first-hand the implementation of ageless knowledge, perpetuated through adepts in secret societies dating back to the Egyptian Mysteries schools, whose original purpose was— and remains— the continuous promulgation of a secret science of life that serves the highest principles of humanity.
The controversial pyramid was commissioned by then president François Mitterrand, a leader sympathetic to the ideals of Masonic orders, and designed by the Chinese-American architect I.M. Pei. Although Pei stated publicly that his pyramid had nothing to do with stone pyramids of old, of all the pyramids in the world he could have used for inspiration, including their myriad angles of inclination, he chose to incline his magnum opus to within a degree of the angle used to construct the Great Pyramid of Giza: an extraordinary coincidence for a man who claimed his design had been inspired by a trellis in the nearby Jardin des Tuilleries.
Such ‘coincidences’ are the stuff of conspiracies; an excuse to point accusatory fingers at secret societies. In this case such claims are justifiable, although the motive is far from sinister. The Great Pyramid of Giza— as well as other identical structures— were built primarily by adepts who learned a specific type of craft from ancient Mysteries Schools. The keepers of an unspecified, arcane knowledge, these societies were careful with whom they shared such information lest it be misused against people or planet. The strategically-chosen slope angle of the Great Pyramid is a good example of the craft they taught.
One of the reasons why this most perfect of structures generates such a profound effect is due in part to its heptagonal angle, for it amplifies the energy of the most mystical of all sacred geometric shapes in the corpus sanctum of esoteric societies. The pyramid’s seven-fold geometry is an allegory of the prime notes of music and the visible colours of light, and thus it is associated with the creative forces of nature. Of all the sacred geometries it is the only one whose angles cannot be bisected to a whole number, so, like the nature of the soul and the origin of the universe, its properties are transcendental, it represents the search for enlightenment. It’s values are also bound within the human body. So, to work with a structure that incorporates this geometry is to magnify the potential of the creative power inside the human being. How strange, then, that these principles should find themselves embodied in this fabulous glass diamond now resting in the center of modern Paris, in the Cour Napoleon, whose namesake once spent a night in the original pyramid in Giza only to run out in the morning, berserk, and raving like a madman. Clearly that pyramid did not agree with Napoleon’s personal ideals.
To people who devote themselves to secret knowledge, such things are not so strange. The kind of gnosis learned in secret esoteric societies surrounds our everyday life to a far greater degree than people are aware. In Paris, the site of the Musee´ de Louvre is itself part of a city-wide plan that incorporates unusual deviations from standard building practice; many of its streets and monuments are also astronomically aligned. It is this perception of a ‘Great Plan’ at work that gives the centre of Paris its inherent air of connection to something far more ethereal and beyond the mundane world.
Just as with London, Washington, and the original Egyptian capital Thebes, Paris is the culmination of centuries of Freemasonic input which seeks to create the ideal ‘City of Light’ through the practical application of biogeometry (that is ‘living geometry’) and the manipulation of subtle terrestrial forces to mirror the celestial order above the city. The idea that the application of specific angles and astronomical alignments are capable of bestowing positive benefits on people and place was precisely the kind of information once zealously guarded and taught to all initiates in Mysteries schools. One of the very best examples of this living art lies in the ground plan of the temple complex at Thebes — today the twin sanctuaries of Luxor-Karnak. Among other things, this complex is aligned to the winter solstice, the time of year when the darkness of the night begins to be supplanted by the increasing light of the day. Another alignment references the heliacal rising of Sirius on June 16. Sirius was seen as the source of all ancient wisdom and the embodiment of Isis, the goddess of the sky. To reference a temple to Sirius is to imbue the temple and its pilgrims with the properties associated with that star.
That such knowledge has spread far from its Egyptian center is seen in a temple dedicated to Isis that once stood on the banks of the Seine, and which today serves as the foundation of the abbey of St. Germain des Pres, just to the south of the Louvre. This homage to the continuation of the cult of Isis even lent the name to the city which sprang from its environs, Parisis. Such solar or sky symbology was applied by esoteric societies even further north, in Britain, possibly by its local secret society, the Druids; its most famous of Britain’s rivers, the Thames, was originally consecrated to the Babylonian solar god Tammuz. It was also named the Isis, and the source of the Thames is today marked on maps as such.
The oldest and main axis of Paris is marked at pivotal sections by an obelisk transported from the temple of Luxor in the Place de Concorde, and by Pei’s pyramid. A second, deviated axis aligns from a strategic location in the Louvre, through the Arc de Triumphe, and along a majestic avenue named Champs-Elyseés. It is this path that gives away the purpose behind the ‘great plan’ upon which this city was designed. The so-called Fields of Elysium are a mythical location where favoured heroes are conveyed by the gods towards a place of the blessed, a state of happiness. Every August 6 the sun sets along the Champs Elyse´es, its orange orb observed through the last of Mitterrand’s grand commissions for Paris, a hollow cube named the Grande Arche. The alignment commemorates the Transfiguration of Christ, a powerful symbol of that establishes Man as a solar hero. Furthermore, the Grande Arche is itself deviated by 32 degrees to match the sunset on June 24— John the Baptist’s Day as well as the Masonic New Year; it is also the day after the Summer solstice, the moment when the light is at its peak; esoterically this moment represents the triumph of light over dark.
Coincidences abound, and yet all of them reference important moments in the machinery of the heavens that are enshrined in the literature of secret societies. The purpose behind such knowledge was to link people with Universal mechanics in a way that enhanced their well-being. That secret societies were able to maintain continuity of information is evidenced by the way that the Paris alignments precisely mirror the very same axis planned into the design of the city of Thebes, a ‘city of the Sun’. Masonic Paris, then, is a case of sacred architecture fulfilling an ancient plan, for 350 years prior to the inauguration of the Louvre pyramid the Hermetic philosopher Tommaso Campanella had announced that in Paris the world would see the reincarnation of the Egyptian City of the Sun.
These practices are still enshrined in the Freemasonic Lodges, a number of which maintain a strict oath to the spirit of ancient codes of practice and the utmost protection of secret knowledge. This very misunderstood society traces its origin through the Knights Templars— the Knights of the Temple of Solomon— to the Egyptian city of Iunnu, the “city of Light”, also called Heliopolis by the Greeks. The history of [Free] Masonry has much to do with the art of building in a physical as well as figurative sense. Well before the libraries at Alexandria, Iunnu was the highest center of learning in the ancient world, preserving the wisdom once practiced and adopted through in temples along the Nile and dating all the way back to Zep Tepi, the ‘First Time’, the post-diluvial age of the gods. After the Romans drove the gnostic schools of Egypt underground, secret societies were formed to maintain the teachings from interference by people who would misuse the information for personal gain and the subjugation of entire societies. Over the centuries the keepers of the Light have gone by various guises— Cathars, Albigencians, Bogomils, Essenes, Priory of Sion, Christian Gnostics, Rosicrucians— and whenever political times have allowed, such societies have shown their hand, and by this method the knowledge has been promulgated through Europe, resurfacing in Paris in time for the French Revolution. In fact many of the figures of the French uprising against a despot king were high-ranking Freemasons, as were the main figures who were inspired to create a new state called America.
The great circle alignment from Giza to Alexandria has an azimuth of 51.85° north of due west from Giza (the same angle as the slope of the Great Pyramid). Extended beyond Alexandria, this great circle also crosses over Delphi, Rollright and Newgrange, as well as the city of London.
Dendera was dedicated to Isis/Sirius. The ancient Egyptian year began on the date of the heliacal rising of Sirius in mid July. The helical rising of Sirius heralded the annual inundation of the Nile that was essential to the welfare of ancient Egypt. The axis of the temple of Isis at Dendera was aligned 20° south of due east, pointing directly at the rising point of Sirius from the latitude of Dendera.
Robert Bauval describes a number of connections between Isis/Sirius and Paris in Talisman (2004). Isis is shown riding on a boat in many ancient Egyptian drawings and carvings. At the direction of Napoleon, Sirius and a statue of Isis were added to the coat of arms for Paris shown below.
During the French revolution, a statue of Isis known as the Fountain of Regeneration was constructed on the former site of the Bastille. The engraving below commemorated this statue.
The Elysian Fields is described as a place of eternal salvation in the ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead. Named after the Elysian Fields, the Champs Elysees is the main axis of Paris. The names Elysian and Elysees both suggest an association with Isis. The photograph below is facing southeast. The Arc de Triumphe is visible in the background. Beyond the Arc de Triumphe is the Louvre. The azimuth of the Champs Elysees is 26° south of due east, pointing directly at the rising point of Sirius/Isis from the latitude of Paris.
The termination point of the Champs Elysees to the northwest is the Grande Arche, in the foreground of the picture above. The axis of the Grande Arche is offset 6.33° south of the axis of the Champs Elysees. With an azimuth of just over 32° south of due east, the azimuth of the axis of the Grande Arche is the same as the azimuth of the great circle alignment from Paris to Dendera.
The Grande Arche is a nearly perfect cube with a height of 110 meters, a width of 108 meters and a depth of 112 meters. It is often described as a cube with side lengths of 110 meters. This is equal to 210 ancient Egyptian cubits:
110/210 = .5238
.5238 meters is a precise measure of the ancient Egyptian cubit, equating to 20.6222 inches, well within the ± .005 inches in Petrie's 20.62 inch measure of the ancient Egyptian cubit. Instead of the usual comparisons between the cubit and the meter of .52375/1 or .524/1, the best comparative measure may be the simple fraction of 11/21 that is suggested by the Grande Arche.
The sides of the Grande Arche are divided into 5 x 5 large panels and within each large panel are 7 x 7 smaller panels. Side lengths of 110 meters suggest lengths of 22 meters for the sides of the large panels with lengths of 22/7 meters for the sides of the smaller panels. The fraction 22/7 equals 3.1428, an accurate expression of π that is also found in the dimensions of the Great Pyramid. Side lengths of 210 cubits in the Grande Arche suggest lengths of 42 cubits for the sides of the large panels and 6 cubits for the sides of the smaller panels. This also shows that the relationship between the meter and the cubit is 6/π, using the measure of 22/7 for π:
21/11 = 6/π
22/7 x 21/11 = 6
The northern pyramid at Dashur, known as the Red Pyramid, was the first true (smooth sided) pyramid built in Egypt and it was the last pyramid built prior to construction of the Great Pyramid. The baselengths of the Red Pyramid are 420 cubits (220 meters) long, 20x multiples of 21/11.
One of the oldest stone circles in England is at Rollright. The diameter of the Rollright circle is 31.4 meters, an accurate expression of π times 10 meters. Given the 6/π relationship between the meter and the cubit, the diameter of the Rollright circle is also 60 ancient Egyptian cubits.
The great circle alignment from Giza to Alexandria has an azimuth of 51.85° north of due west from Giza (the same angle as the slope of the Great Pyramid). Extended beyond Alexandria, this great circle also crosses over Delphi, Rollright and Newgrange, as well as the city of London.
Dendera was dedicated to Isis/Sirius. The ancient Egyptian year began on the date of the heliacal rising of Sirius in mid July. The helical rising of Sirius heralded the annual inundation of the Nile that was essential to the welfare of ancient Egypt. The axis of the temple of Isis at Dendera was aligned 20° south of due east, pointing directly at the rising point of Sirius from the latitude of Dendera.

The Elysian Fields is described as a place of eternal salvation in the ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead. Named after the Elysian Fields, the Champs Elysees is the main axis of Paris. The names Elysian and Elysees both suggest an association with Isis. The photograph below is facing southeast. The Arc de Triumphe is visible in the background. Beyond the Arc de Triumphe is the Louvre. The azimuth of the Champs Elysees is 26° south of due east, pointing directly at the rising point of Sirius/Isis from the latitude of Paris.
The termination point of the Champs Elysees to the northwest is the Grande Arche, in the foreground of the picture above. The axis of the Grande Arche is offset 6.33° south of the axis of the Champs Elysees. With an azimuth of just over 32° south of due east, the azimuth of the axis of the Grande Arche is the same as the azimuth of the great circle alignment from Paris to Dendera.
The Grande Arche is a nearly perfect cube with a height of 110 meters, a width of 108 meters and a depth of 112 meters. It is often described as a cube with side lengths of 110 meters. This is equal to 210 ancient Egyptian cubits:
110/210 = .5238
.5238 meters is a precise measure of the ancient Egyptian cubit, equating to 20.6222 inches, well within the ± .005 inches in Petrie's 20.62 inch measure of the ancient Egyptian cubit. Instead of the usual comparisons between the cubit and the meter of .52375/1 or .524/1, the best comparative measure may be the simple fraction of 11/21 that is suggested by the Grande Arche.
The sides of the Grande Arche are divided into 5 x 5 large panels and within each large panel are 7 x 7 smaller panels. Side lengths of 110 meters suggest lengths of 22 meters for the sides of the large panels with lengths of 22/7 meters for the sides of the smaller panels. The fraction 22/7 equals 3.1428, an accurate expression of π that is also found in the dimensions of the Great Pyramid. Side lengths of 210 cubits in the Grande Arche suggest lengths of 42 cubits for the sides of the large panels and 6 cubits for the sides of the smaller panels. This also shows that the relationship between the meter and the cubit is 6/π, using the measure of 22/7 for π:
21/11 = 6/π
22/7 x 21/11 = 6
The northern pyramid at Dashur, known as the Red Pyramid, was the first true (smooth sided) pyramid built in Egypt and it was the last pyramid built prior to construction of the Great Pyramid. The baselengths of the Red Pyramid are 420 cubits (220 meters) long, 20x multiples of 21/11.
One of the oldest stone circles in England is at Rollright. The diameter of the Rollright circle is 31.4 meters, an accurate expression of π times 10 meters. Given the 6/π relationship between the meter and the cubit, the diameter of the Rollright circle is also 60 ancient Egyptian cubits.
The great circle alignment from Giza to Alexandria has an azimuth of 51.85° north of due west from Giza (the same angle as the slope of the Great Pyramid). Extended beyond Alexandria, this great circle also crosses over Delphi, Rollright and Newgrange, as well as the city of London.
Dendera was dedicated to Isis/Sirius. The ancient Egyptian year began on the date of the heliacal rising of Sirius in mid July. The helical rising of Sirius heralded the annual inundation of the Nile that was essential to the welfare of ancient Egypt. The axis of the temple of Isis at Dendera was aligned 20° south of due east, pointing directly at the rising point of Sirius from the latitude of Dendera.

'Sirius and Orion sailing across the sky at Dendera.' Sirius and Orion are sailing across the firmament in boats on the astronomical ceiling in the outer hypostyle hall of the Hathor Temple at Dendera. The ceiling consists of seven separate strips but here we are looking at a detail of the upper register of the EASTERNMOST STRIP. The star Sirius, or Sothis as it was known by the Egyptians, is depicted here as a reclining cow on a boat but the star was also identified with the goddess Isis. The rise of Sirius on the eastern horizon, after a few weeks of invisibility, signaled the beginning of the summer Nile flood for the Egyptians and the beginning of the New Year. The second boat carries a god who personifies the constellation Orion, or Sahu as he was called by the Egyptians. The text above the god describes him as 'Sahu, the soul (ba) of Osiris' and thus it can be understood that Osiris is looking back at his wife Isis (in the shape of a cow) to see if she is following him across the sky. Orion/Osiris as a god looking back first appears in Egyptian iconography in stars clocks on coffin
I have discussed the advanced astronomical knowledge of the Dogon people of Mali. The Dogon believe that they came from Ancient Egypt, Kemet. In this piece, we are going to touch lightly on some of their knowledge of the constellations. I confess that I am not doing my ancestors any justice by such a very scanty piece.
The Ancient Egyptians (Kemites) 3,000 years ago were the first to record the variability of a distant star – and their records could provide useful information for astronomers today.
This star, the brightest star known to us as Sirius, the dog-star, has great meaning to our ancestors of Kemet (modern-day Egypt), and their descendants the Dogon tribe of Mali. The Kemites could predict the flooding of the Nile by observing the movement of Sirius, and such studies led them to develop the calendar which we use today.
The Kemites knew at least 43 constellations in the 13th century B.C. In 1100 B.C. Amenhope wrote the "Catalog of the Universe" in which he identified the major known constellations.
The Kemites believed in a spherical earth revolving on its own axis while inferior planets like Mercury and Venus revolve around the Sun. They also knew about five planets, the retrograde motion of Mars was known, the revolution of Mercury and Venus around the Sun was known. This is what Macrobius Ambrosius Theodosius termed the “Egyptian system,” and went on to say that "it did not escape the skill of the Egyptians."
Ancient Egyptians were very interested in the night sky. They were drawn to two bright stars in the North Pole: "the indestructibles" or what we called today as Kochab, in the bowl of the Little Dipper (Ursa Minor), and Mizar, in the middle of the handle of the Big Dipper (Ursa Major).
One great evidence of their mastery of the constellations and how their belief in the afterlife can be best illustrated in the sophisticated, decorative illustrations on the roof of the tombs of Rameses VI and Rameses IX in the valley of the Kings in present-day Luxor.
Kemetic astronomy, astrology and religious rites were intermingled. The periods and durations of religious rituals were systematically determined by studying and recording the movements of heavenly bodies, the sun, moon, constellations and stars. These can be evidenced from records found in temples. They built their pyramids and other major structures in alignment with constellations. This we will explore in the next piece.
On August 6, 2003, Arnold Schwarzenegger dramatically announced his decision to run for governor of California. Two months later he won the very high-profile and bizarre recall election. We should soon enough begin to see the true nature of this development and what it could mean for the future of the United States - the sinking Titanic. Tellingly, there was much that was 'ritualistic' about the election of Schwarzenegger:
Arnold's Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, a story about the beginning of Armageddon, was released in 2003 before the recall election.
One of Arnold's most popular films is Total Recall (1990), a futuristic story about Mars. In August '03, the month Arnold made his dramatic announcement, the Red Planet was at its closest point to Earth in recorded history. Consequently 2003 was the 'year of Mars'.
Arnie starred in The Running Man (1987). Combined with Total Recall, it is almost as if his running in the California '(total) recall' election was an event long 'prophesied' by Hollywood.
Only 8 days after Arnold announced his 'Running Man' status for the 'Total Recall' election there was as a historic 'total blackout' on the opposite coast of the US and Canada (Aug. 14). Incidentally the recall election had much to do with California's energy crisis involving blackouts; and there was a striking conceptual symmetry created by the proximity and locality of the two events. After all, 'Total Recall' meaning 'regaining awareness' is the very opposite of 'blackout', meaning 'losing awareness. Note also that the storyline of Total Recall involves controlling and manipulating energy/resources.
The ominous aura of a dark setup is intensified by the involvement of Sirius - the brightest star in the night sky - identified by ancient Egyptians with their goddess par excellence Isis, the wife-sister of Osiris (the god of the dead), with whom she had a son named Horus. August 6 (or so) happens to be the day of Sirius' heliacal rising (= dawn rising) as viewed from Giza/Cairo, the astronomical center of ancient Egypt. This is very meaningful. Here is my comment from August 20, '03:
As I noted on the day of the event, Schwarzenegger's dramatic election announcement on Aug. 6 was probably - consciously or subconsciously - meant to coincide with the heliacal rising of the star Sirius - an event that signaled for ancient Egyptians the beginning of the annual life-giving flood of the Nile (signifying the resurrection of Osiris...). Notice the conceptual parallel here: Sirius announcing the coming of the flood/Osirian resurrection and Arnie announcing his intention to become the governor of California. (The name 'Schwarzenegger' being very 'black' resonates with Osiris being the god of death/blackness.)
[Update: Actually, the date August 6th may be a little off here. I was relying on Robert Bauval's information on this but it seems it was not quite accurate. Or, it may just be that determining the heliacal rising date is just tricky which it is. It can have a range of dates or a 'window'. But even without this particular connection, the date is still highlighted by Paris, the 'Isis city', which is still, or even more, significant.]
Mythologically, the death of Osiris takes place concurrently with the conception/birth of his son Horus. In ancient Egypt, the distinction between Osiris and Horus was quite blurry as they were essentially two sides of the same coin. Horus was the reincarnated or resurrected Osiris - just as every ancient Egyptian king was perceived as Horus who upon death would become Osiris. The Sirius heliacal rising signaling the revitalization of Osiris (signified by the annual inundation of the Nile in midsummer) could therefore be viewed as the birth of Horus. And this leads to the next key point...
In ancient Egyptian tradition Horus had an alter ego in Mars ('Horus the Red'), the very planet that was so brilliant in the night sky around August 2003. As if this weren't enough, there was an amazing celestial alignment on Aug. 23 involving the Sun, Regulus, Jupiter, Venus, Earth, and Mars. The Sun-Regulus conjunction ('Regulus Day') traditionally signifies the birth of Horus - but this particular 'Regulus Day' in 2003 was extra special because of the additional major planets joining the conjunction. [Click image for animation.]
Adding up these and many other clues, the underlying symbolic message became quite clear to me - an Horus was born in August 2003... and his name was Arnold Schwarzenegger. The intense coherence of the Mars-Horus-election-'Total Recall' association was getting just too freakish to ignore. (See Endgame VI for more on Schwarzenegger.)
And the dark nature of this 'Horus' was suggested by numerous clues, including the following...
It is said that Paris esoterically derives its name from 'Par Isis' ('near Isis'). There is a lot of evidence to support this. As Robert Bauval writes in Secret Chamber (p.341):
Napoleon had acquired two nicknames, one being 'L'Aigle' (the Eagle) and the other being 'L'Etoile' (the Star). That 'his star' was Sirius, the star of Isis, is not only made obvious by the coat-of-arms which he chose for Paris but, in a more arcane manner, it seems to have been linked to Napoleon's most famous monument, the Arc de Triomphe, also known as the the Place de L'Etoile (the Place of the Star), located on the western side of the so-called Historical Axis of Paris, better known as the Champs-Elysees, [which is oriented twenty-six degrees north of west]... The star Sirius, as seen from the latitude of Paris, rises twenty-six degrees south of east.
And sure enough the 'Axis of Paris' (the Champs Elysees) was designed to align with thesunset on ~August 6.
This first of all confirms that the date is to be seen as a special day of Sirius' rising, and makes it clear that August 6 is a 'magical date' that is considered very important by past and modern 'esotericists' whose knowledge stems from ancient Egypt. Judging from the 'rise of Schwarzenegger' masterfully brought about on this date in 2003, we can infer that there is something big underway at this time. The encoded symbolism of the Osirian resurrection - or the birth of Horus - should therefore be treated seriously. Indeed, we just may be talking about something akin to the 'rise of Antichrist' here, if that gets your attention... Think Napoleon; think Hitler.
Napoleon is often thought to have been an 'antichristic' figure especially in the context of Nostradamus' prophecies. We often hear that he was 'Antichrist 1', Hitler was 'Antichrist 2', and the third has yet to come... Well, Terminator 3 was in theaters last year just before Schwarzenegger's rise in politics. So we wonder: Was 'Terminator 3' an allusion to 'Antichrist 3'? The answer we find here is amusing and ominous.
The following passage is from the Book of Revelation, apparently talking about an antichristic figure:
And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.
The two names given here, 'Abaddon' and 'Apollyon', both mean the same thing - 'Destroyer'... or even 'Terminator'! And Arnold is not only the Hollywood 'Terminator', he's also been Conan the Destroyer(1984)! The name 'Napoleon' has also been interpreted to mean none other than 'destroyer'... The parallel goes even further as we find that just as Napoleon had the nickname 'the Eagle', the name 'Arnold' means 'eagle rules'.
So, yes - the title 'Terminator 3' does scream 'Antichrist 3'... at least on a symbolic level.
What's more ominous, the chapter/verse number of the Revelation passage above from the New Testament happens to be... 9:11. We are about to see just how fitting this 'coincidental' reference is.
Martian Time Echoes
Let's take a look at some major events that took place on the 'Sirius-Paris-Arnie date' August 6 in the past, as this may give us more clues.
The Japanese city of Hiroshima became the first victim of a nuclear attack in history on August 6, 1945. We detect Horus/Mars in its symbolism: Japan is the 'Land of the Rising Sun' and the rising sun is traditionally embodied by Horus, who is analogous to the Red Planet as already mentioned. (The Japanese national flag even prominently features a red disk.)
August 6, 1996 was another major day involving Mars. On that date the issue of 'life on Mars' became a serious mainstream topic as breaking news reports suddenly told us that NASA had discovered evidence of past microbial life in a Martian meteorite. (NASA held a major press conference the next day.)
These are very telling in light of what happened in/around August 2003.
Slightly less direct, but equally telling is the 9/11 connection:
The date September 11 in the Gregorian calendar used today almost always coincides with the New Year's Dayfor the Ethiopian and Coptic or Christian-Egyptian calendars. The ancient Egyptian New Year's Day ('1st of Thoth') was originally set to mark the heliacal rising of Sirius which today takes place around August 6 Gregorian (as viewed from Giza/Cairo). So it can easily be said that August 6 is September 11!
As revealed in the recent public 9/11 Commission hearings (spring '04), the President of the United States was explicitly warned of an imminent al-Qaeda terrorist attack inside the US in a PDB (Presidential Daily Brief) memo dated August 6, '01. This was only a month before 9/11 and yet the White House inexplicably took no preventive actions. This was and still is one of the biggest controversies to come out of the official 9/11 investigation so far.
There is a connection between 9/11 and Mars to underscore the emerging nature of the date, Aug. 6.
First, the summer of 2001 was, like in 2003, marked by a Martian close encounter. It was during June, instead of August, that the Mars 'flyby' took place. Not as spectacular as that of 2003, but the Red Planet was a prominent light in the night sky. On June 13-14 (2001), Mars was at 'opposition' (i.e. 180 degrees away from the Sun) and it made its closest approach to Earth several days later on June 21.
Mars Opposition (June 2001)
On the same day, June 21, there was a total solar eclipse - as if to commemorate the Martian visit. In fact, June 21 was even the day of summer solstice (midsummer)!
So, while not as historic, the 2001 Mars opposition closely preceding the events of 9/11 was spectacular - or in hindsight 'ominous' - in its own way.
It still 'missed' 9/11 by about 3 months... Actually, it did not miss. It hit the bull's-eye perfectly - in a coded form:
September 11Gregorian corresponds to 'Thoth 1' (New Year's Day) of the Egyptian calendar which was originally marked by the heliacal/dawn rising of Sirius. In the early phase of the ancient Egyptian civilization the Sirius rising (accompanied by the annual Nile flood) coincided with the summer solstice. It was a 'magical' day that the Egyptians naturally used to anchor their calendar. So by highlighting June 21 (i.e. Gregorian summer solstice), the special Mars opposition event in 2001 conceptually pinpointed September 11, the historical/Egyptian summer-solstice date!
On 9/11, there was another remarkable combination of summer solstice, Mars, and the Moon (i.e. all the key players of the June 21 alignment except the Sun). As the earthshaking events of 9/11 were unfolding on the planet, up in the heavens was observed the following configuration: 1) the Moon was at the summer-solstice point (i.e. where the Sun would be on the midsummer day); 2) Mars was positioned exactly 180 degrees away from the Moon on the opposite side of the sky, closely marking the winter-solstice point; and 3) consequently there was a tight Mars-Earth-Moon alignment bridging the two solstice points!
As the above illustrations show, the solstice points today are neatly indicated by the intersections of the apparent path of the Sun ('ecliptic', green line) and the Milky Way ('galactic equator', blue band). This arrangement is coincidental/temporary and is thus astronomically quite special. Some view these points as something akin to 'stargates'.
Now, the prophetic quality of all this dramatically increases as we progress forward (from 9/11/01). Mars opposition occurs approximately every 26 months, so the Sun-Earth-Mars alignment would be established again in the summer of 2003 - specifically on Aug. 28. As already discussed, it seemed to have 'anticipated' the 'Martian' event of Schwarzenegger entering politics on August 6. The same type of code was used here since Aug. 6 is or represents the actual day on which Sirius' heliacal rising occurs in our epoch. Through Sirius, June 21, Sept. 11, and Aug. 6 are but different expressions of the same archetypal date!
This calendrical link is reinforced by one of Schwarzenegger's nicknames being 'The Oak'. In pagan tradition, the 'Oak King' is associated with midsummer which is also reflected in the fact that the Christian version of the Oak King, John the Baptist, has his feast day on June 24, intended to mark the summer solstice (~June 21).
Similarly, Jesus Christ's birthday is celebrated on Christmas in mid-December to mark the winter solstice. The summer and winter solstices represent two opposite calendrical/spatial points. This makes John the Baptist (Oak King) the anti-Jesus, or 'anti-Christ'. Hence Schwarzenegger 'The Oak', whose political rise on Aug. 6 was marked by the Sirius rising associated with midsummer, would also share the ominous epithet. And why not, he's already the 'Terminator'... after all.
Of course, the impact of the 'rise of Schwarzenegger' is developing slowly at this time and thus not yet as flashy as 9/11. Indeed, the biggest event of 2003 was actually the Iraq war that began earlier in spring. The war was even a direct consequence of 9/11... So the question arises: Why wasn't that event addressed by the Martian-Sirian code?
Turns out, it was!
We talked about the alignment of Mars opposition (i.e. Sun-Earth-Mars) that takes place approximately every 2 years (26 months, 'synodic' cycle), but there are other ways of tracking Mars' orbital cycle. For instance, there is the 'sidereal' orbital cycle, based on which we can ask ourselves: 'When did Mars return to the same solar winter-solstice stargate spot where it was positioned on Sept. 11, 2001?' (See illustration above). The answer:
Marsreturned to the '9/11 position' at the intersection of the Milky Way and the ecliptic in March 2003 - that is, the very month the Iraq war started!
The Iraq war began on March 20 (Iraqi time); the Red Planet's '9/11 return' came on March 7. Interestingly, the 13-day difference closely matches a half cycle of the Moon's sidereal orbit around the earth (~27 days) - meaning the Moon would be on the opposite side of the earth relative to the background stars in about 13 days. So we see the familiar notion of 'opposition' subtly embedded here. But there is a more compelling way of bridging March 7 and March 20. There is now a 13-day difference between the Julian calendar and the modern (and more accurate) Gregorian calendar - which means that March 20 Gregorian is March 7 Julian... Or, March 20 equals March 7!
We also observe that there is exactly a 13-day difference between the historic Mar-Earth encounter of Aug. 27, '03 (closest distance on 8/27; opposition on 8/28) and the historic major power outage ('Total Blackout') that struck the east coast of the US (and Canada) on August 14 which is symbolically linked to the 'rise of Schwarzenegger' that came just days earlier.
Further supporting the Martian nature of the Iraq war is the timing of, again, its commencement. March 20 coincided with the spring equinox - when the Sun is at the crossing point of the ecliptic and the celestial equator. The Sun rises due east on the two equinoctial days of the year. This phenomenon is inseparable from the Great Sphinx at Giza, Egypt; and the Sphinx was - like Mars - considered a form of Horus.
The Great Sphinx faces due east where the sun rises on the equinoxes. The significance of this is underscored by the fact that Horus is traditionally thought to embody the rising sun. And because of the traditional Sphinx-Mars association, equinoctial days such as March 20 in 2003 are 'Mars days'. The Iraq war could thus be said to have begun on a 'Mars day', in the month of March/Mars! And Mars has long been considered the planet/god of... war.
Given this apparent importance accorded to the spring equinox of 2003, we certainly cannot ignore the other 'Mars day' - the autumnal equinox (September 23). And there is indeed much to be learned there too.
Lucifer Ignition
In accordance with the preceding '2001 echo' theme, we see that what took place on September 23 ('Mars day'/autumn equinox) was a clear allusion to the popular film '2001: A Space Odyssey' (from 1968, by Stanley Kubrick, based on a novel by Arthur C. Clarke). Along with the film association even comes a strong reference to Mars, as NASA has a probe named 'Odyssey' that has been orbiting the Red Planet since 2001. (It was launched April 7, 2001, and reached Mars on October 24.)
The mystery that drives the story of '2001' is the black 'monolith', first discovered by man on the Moon. It prompts a space mission to Jupiter (an attempt to make 'first contact') which takes place - as clearly indicated in the film - 18 months later.
Remarkably, the start of the Iraq war came exactly 18 months after 9/11. And 9/11 was when two 'monoliths' called the World Trade Center towers were destroyed.
There is much to be said about the WTC towers having been the modern 'Tower of Babel' associated with the ancient city of Babylon. NYC plausibly being the new 'Babylon', the city's greatest towers could naturally be viewed as the 'Tower of Babel'. (The terms 'Babel' and 'Babylon' are practically interchangeable.)
In the final book of the Bible, Revelation (ch.17-18), we read about a 'great whore' called 'BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH' representing 'the great city Babylon' that falls in a dramatic fashion:
Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.... The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing... For in one hour so great riches is come nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!
With regard to the label of 'whore', I wrote the following back in October 2001 (emphasis added):
A character in the scriptures that would best fit the description is Mary Magdalene - an enigmatic female companion, or quite likely the lover/wife, of Jesus Christ. Although Mary Magdalene is never described as a prostitute in the New Testament, it has been the prevalent view that she was. Chances are, though, the Magdalene is to be considered a 'whore' only in the symbolic sense that she was a version of the ancient Egyptian goddess par excellence, Isis, the wife-sister of Osiris, who was both a 'virgin' and a 'whore' as well as a goddess of wisdom and magic. (Isis' companion Osiris was killed and later resurrected to nicely parallel the Magdalene's companion, Jesus.) Isis, in turn, was represented in the sky by the great star Sirius -- a star of utmost importance to the ancient Egyptians as its 'rebirth' (i.e. 'heliacal rising') in mid-summer had the function of marking the New Year and signaling the beginning of the life-giving annual flooding of the Nile, roughly coinciding with the summer solstice.
As already discussed, the date September 11 corresponds to the ancient Egyptian midsummer/New Year day marked by Sirius! What's more:
...the name 'Magdalene' (as Magdala) can mean 'tower' as in the Tower of Babel and the WTC twin towers. Reinforcing the connection even more, amazingly, is the groundbreaking date of the WTC twin towers being August 5, that is, the very date of [or overlapping] Sirius' heliacal rising/'rebirth' in our epoch!
Added together, it becomes quite clear that the WTC towers were the modern symbolic Tower of Babel/Babylon.
In Genesis, the very first book of the Bible (Old Testament), we find the following passages talking about the Tower... in chapter '11' of course:
And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. Therefore is the name of it called Babel... [Genesis 11:4-9]
Tellingly, like Revelation's 'Babylon' and the WTC towers, the Babel tower is destroyed. But the key here is the references to the people uniting as 'one' - because this brings our attention to the United Nations which has its headquarters in NYC. The UN is the place where all nations come together and try to work with each other. Hence the UN building in NYC, like the twin towers, would be yet another alter ego of the Tower of Babel.
Take a look at the UN building shown below. It's almost a perfect replica of the 'monolith' in '2001'!
So even though one version the Babel tower (i.e. WTC) was destroyed in 2001, another version, associated with the film '2001', is still standing in NYC-Babylon!
This brings us back to the issue of what happened on the autumn-equinox 'Mars day' of 2003. It turns out, the big event there on Sept. 23 was President Bush addressing the UN members in the 'monolith' building!
At the UN Assembly, Bush asked for international help on Iraq and in so doing made official the White House's decision to soften its neoconservative/'Pax Americana'-driven unilateral war policy. This was an important event because it signaled the beginning of the end for the neo-conservative hawks who, led by Vice President Cheney, pushed for the Iraq invasion (for oil and Israel).
What made the '2001' film-connection apparently encoded here more plausible was a certain event that immediately preceded the UN Assembly. On September 21, NASA deliberately crashed the Galileo spacecraft into Jupiter. As I wrote back in Sept. '03:
The symbolism of this NASA 'ritual' is very thick. For one thing, it relates not only to 2001: A Space Odyssey but also to its sequel '2010: The Year We Make Contact' (or 'Odyssey Two') in which Jupiter, with the help of the monolith, becomes a sun - called Lucifer. And in real life [the Galileo probe was actually carrying plutonium, causing some buzz about a possible nuclear reaction turning Jupiter into the second sun of the solar system.]
Indeed, there are signs that there may well have been a nuclear detonation on/in Jupiter caused by Galileo'sfall.
We have already noted that the Sirius-rising date August 6, which is a 'version' of September 11, is historically associated with nukes since Hiroshima became the first city to experience a nuclear attack on August 6 (1945).
This is reinforced by Mary Magdalene (or the Virgin) - the biblical Isis-Sirius - also having a nuclear association. The name 'Mary' is said to denote 'bitter', which is also the meaning of the well-known biblical term 'Wormwood' - a star that falls to the earth in the end times. It's found in Revelation 8:10-11.
And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.
The worst nuclear disaster we've seen after Hiroshima and Nagasaki was the 1986 nuclear-reactor accident at a place called Chernobyl... The term 'Chernobyl' means none other than 'wormwood'!
So there is definitely a nuke theme in all this which may be relevant to what's coming in the near future... A nuclear detonation could be considered an event representing Isis-Mary giving birth to Horus/'Lucifer', as per the '2010' storyline.
The name 'Lucifer' means 'light-bringer' and was originally a reference to the Morning Star - Venus. Very fitting - because Mary Magdalene was traditionally associated with Venus! (Isis, Mary Magdalene, and Venus are all associated with love/sexuality.)
And through Venus, the 'time echo' scheme begins to move into the near future... the period right ahead of us.
Venus, Mars & May 2004
In addition to being a 'year of Mars', 2003 was also the 'year of Mary Magdalene', thanks to the monstrous success of the novel The Da Vince Code which became a cultural phenomenon. By early 2002, actually, I had been fully anticipating this interest spike and the parallel development between Mars and Gnostic secrets (truth represented by Mary Magdalene, John the Baptist, etc.), as I proclaimed in Endgame III (Nov. '02):
I'm sure this is the first time that all the different subject matters, especially Cydonia [or Mars] and the underground Gnostic tradition, have been put together and viewed as aspects of the same 'game'. Strange stuff, yes, but this is where the 'game' is going, so people should get used to it.
The Da Vinci Code, which is largely based on Holy Blood, Holy Grail (nonfiction), talks a lot about a secret society named the Priory of Sion. This semi-mythical group historically based in France venerates Mary Magdalene (as well as John the Baptist), who is also called the 'Black Madonna', and claims to possess or guard (a la the Knights Templar) the messianic bloodline/secrets stemming from the union of Jesus and Mary Magdalene. (Tradition has it that Mary Magdalene, along with the 'seed' of Jesus, moved to southern France some time after the Crucifixion.)
It is known that the Priory of Sion is closely associated with the number '58' (See for instance The Templar Revelation, p.52.) This is probably related to the fact that the apparent orbital path of the 'Magdalene planet', Venus, produces a pentagonal form (i.e. '5') over a period of eight years. So with or without the Priory Sion, Venus-Magdalene is associated with the numbers 8 and particularly 5. (This association was also expressed on 9/11 as one of the planes hit the Pentagon, the five-sided building of the Defense Department.) This is significant because:
The number '58' is prominently attached to the key Isis-Magdalene-Venus date, August 6, 2003 - the day of the 'rise of the Schwarzenegger'. It was the 58th anniversary of the Hiroshima atomic bombing.
The same number would pop up again when Bush visited the UN 'monolith'/Babel building, September 23, '03 - an event similarly associated with nukes via the attached Galileo/'2010' symbolism. The event happened to be the 'UN General Assembly 58th Session'.
The 'signal' becomes unmistakable when it is added that the Sirian 'Axis of Paris' (Champs Elysees), pinpointing August 6 (the Hiroshima date) through its solar/Sirius alignment, has been noted to pinpoint one other day - May 8, or 5/8! (Technically the precise timing of the alignment might be slightly earlier than 5/8, but at least calendrically the pinpointed date would be May 8 in 2004.)
There is another 'Venus number' that is equally compelling as '58'. This is '225' - the orbital period of Venus in Earth-days. We find that:
The fateful year 2001 was the 225th year since the birth of the United States (1776). Lady Liberty, a prominent US symbol, is a version of Isis/Mary the Magdalene/Virgin (thus also Venus).
The historic US east-coast 'Total Blackout' on August 14, 2003 coming just days after the 'rise of Schwarzenegger' was precisely the 225th day of the year. The significance of the date is underscored by the fact that August 27, when Mars was at its closest point to Earth in 60,000 years, was the 'August 14' of the Julian calendar.
Adding 225 days to the '2010 monolith' day of the 2003 autumnal equinox (Sept. 23) brings us to May 5, 2004. It does not exactly match the key Venus/Paris-axis date of 'May 8', but very close.
Mel Gibson's controversial film released earlier this year, The Passion of the Christ, which like The Da Vinci Code became a cultural phenomenon, depicts the final 12 hours of Jesus' life - i.e. the period corresponding to the Osirian death/resurrection, or Isis-Mary receiving and perpetuating the seed of Christ-Horus. The film was released on February 25 - that is, 2/25 (225).
The 225th day of 2004, August 13, is the exact day the Athens Olympic Games will begin! Historically the Olympics Games are held to honor the supreme Greco-Roman god Zeus/Jupiter. And as we saw Jupiter is to be associated with '2001'/'2010', 'monolith', 'Lucifer' (= Venus), and nuclear detonation. What's more, one of Schwarzenegger's nicknames happens to be 'The Olympian' (he won the 'Mr. Olympia' bodybuilding competition six times)...
Clearly the emerging picture here is that around May 8, 2004, along with August 13/the Olympics, is a symbolically momentous period that carries a lot of ominous themes such as 9/11, Iraq, Osirian resurrection, Schwarzenegger/Horus, 'Antichrist', nuclear, blackout, Lucifer, Isis-Magdalene, Mars, and such.
The final nail in the coffin, so to speak, comes from the position of Mars on/around May 8, 2004.
Mars will be at one of the 'stargate' points where the Milky Way (galactic equator) and the ecliptic cross just as was the case on the days of 9/11 and the beginning of the Iraq war (3/20/03). Only this time Mars is to be at the other 'stargate' point, 180 degrees away from the '9/11' position. Indeed, it will be marking the summer-solsticepoint - none other than the 'Sirian point' calendrically associated with the key dates August 6, September 11, etc.! (Note: Mars comes to one of these 'stargate' points every 9 months.)
On September 11, 2001, the above spot was marked by the Moon. This time, on May 7/8, the Moon is to be at the other 'stargate point' (winter-solstice point). In other words, an exact reversal of the 9/11-'stargate' configuration!
Venus doesn't miss a beat here either:
The 'Isis-Magdalene planet' Venus is to be very close to Mars and the summer-solstice 'stargate' point. But while Mars is crossing the galactic equator, Venus will be crossing the galactic meridian, i.e. the 'longitude zero' of the galactic grid!
The notion of 'reversal' or 'opposition' embedded in the above celestial configuration is now a recurrent theme and hints at the nature of the events that may come in May...
The Force of Opposition
In terms of the Sun's position relative to Earth, it take 6 months for the Sun to reach the other side, exactly 180 degrees away from the original relative placement, which corresponds to the position of 'opposition'. This gets interesting when we realize that:
The US 'Shock & Awe' bombing campaign against Iraq began on March 22/23, exactly 6 months before the '2010 monolith' autumnal equinox (Sept. 23, '03).
The deadly train bombings in Madrid, widely perceived as 'Spain's 9/11', came on March 11, '04 - exactly 6 months after September 11 ('03) when the Sun was on the opposite side, so to speak. The 9/11 reference was also underscored by the fact that there were exactly 911 days in between 9/11/01 and 3/11/04!
The Madrid bombings also have a connection to Lucifer (thus also Venus). Very near the Atocha train station where a total of seven bombs exploded and killed about 100 people is a park called the 'Retiro' that has a statue called 'El Angel Caido', claimed to be the world's only sculpture dedicated solely to Lucifer.
The involvement of Lucifer here is intriguing as 'he' is popularly interpreted to have been an angel who challenged 'God' and fell. As written in the Bible:
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
In other words, Lucifer may be viewed as an opponent of 'God'. (Incidentally the name 'Satan' means 'opponent', though Lucifer and Satan are not really equatable as widely believed.) The idea of 'Antichrist' seems relevant here...
So we have the notion of 'opposition' being echoed. Following this pattern, we are potentially in for another 'Luciferian'/'shock & awe'/9-11/'Antichrist'-type event in - or associated with - early May when there will be a reversal/'opposition' 9-11 configuration with Mars at the summer-solstice point and the Moon at the winter-solstice point while Venus will be right beside Mars and crossing the galactic meridian.
Marian Seeds
The heliacal rising of Sirius is the central element in all this that 'anchors' the 'Lucifer Time Code'. And we've already discussed how it is symbolically inseparable from the resurrection of Osiris or the conception/birth of Horus. This 'Horus' corresponds to various things such as Christ, Antichrist, Schwarzenegger, the Great Sphinx... and Mars.
It is the womb of Isis-Mary-Venus that facilitates the continuation of the Osirian seed. This is the key element of the story of the Holy Grail - or the 'Blood Royal'. What is curious here is that the combination of Mars and the notion of seeds invokes 'Panspermia', the theory that life may be transferred from one planet to another through, for example, meteorites. Since NASA claimed they found evidence of life in a Martian meteorite in 1996 (on August 6/7, of course), scientists have come to take seriously the idea that life on Earth was originally 'seeded' by rocks from outer space, particularly Mars.
This makes us wonder about the possibility of the historic 2003 Mars flyby being a simulation of Martian seeds reaching Earth. In other words, we may have a symbolic story going right now where Earth was seeded by Mars-Horus back in August 2003, and the birth of a new life is imminent in 2004... And this could even signify the 'birth of the Anti-Christ' since Mars - the planetary Horus/Christ - was at 'opposition' when the 'seeding' took place..
Based on the duration of human pregnancy, the birth of the Martian Horus-Antichrist is to be expected in... May/June 2004!
From the day of conception, average pregnancy lasts about 267 days. Counted from the last menstrual period (as is usually done), the average duration is 280 days. In the former case, counting 267 days from Aug. 27, 2003 brings us to around May 20. In the latter case, the date is around June 2. But starting from August 14, a key Julian-calendar date corresponding to Aug. 27 Gregorian, this too brings us to May 20.
So we seem to have May 20 as another significant date in May which could interact with May 8. And this happens to work well with one of the possible events projected for this period. May 20 on the Christian calendar is Ascension Day, coming on the 40th days after Easter to commemorate the ascension of Jesus into heaven. As it happens, NASA's Mars probes/rovers Spirit and Opportunity that caused quite an excitement this winter/spring ('04) are called Mars Exploration Rovers or 'MER'. It's certainly fitting that the term 'mer' relates to 'Mary' and water. The rovers just recently made headlines as it discovered evidence of past Martian water in March. But 'mer' (MR) in the ancient Egyptian language stood for 'pyramid' and had the meaning of 'the place of Ascension'!
So it could be viewed that the news of Martian water breaking in March signified Mary-Isis' water breaking - i.e. her 'pregnancy' coming to an end. Horus (= Mars) is about to be born. The coherence of the symbolism is remarkable, and this raises the possibility that on or around Ascension/MER Day - May 20 - we'll hear from NASA that the rovers have found... life on Mars. Mars/Horus, in other words, comes to life! Or it could be that there will be a NASA announcement saying that they have found evidence of present water on Mars, which too would be a significant enough and fitting development.
And Schwarzenegger, a Horus figure himself, becomes relevant here yet again. We find that the Egyptian term 'mer' was also used to denote ploughing of the earth, and the name 'Schwarzenegger' is said to mean 'black ploughman'!
Further, 'mer' has the meaning of 'love' and thus is relatable again to the love-goddess complex of Isis-Mary-Venus - i.e. the mother of Horus. Since Mary Magdalene is closely associated with the 'Black Madonna', it's interesting that blackness is shared by both her and Schwarzenegger. What's even more interesting is that the Black Madonna is traditionally identified with 'Sarah the Egyptian' (Sara Kali) whose altar is found in the church of the French town of Les Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, where the arrival of Mary Magdalene there, along with her messianic child, is celebrated on May 23-5 since Middle Ages! (The feast day of Sarah the Egyptian is May 25.)
These dates are supported astronomically as well. There will be a series of significant interactions in the region of the summer-solstice 'stargate' point during the May 19-25 period:
May 19: New Moon (Sun-Moon alignment) May 21: Moon occults Venus May 22: Tight Mars-Saturn-Moon grouping; Comet LINEAR near Sirius May 25: Mars-Saturn close encounter (conjunction)
In Part 2 of The Lucifer Time Code, we'll take this discussion further and start looking beyond May, as there are some key dates in June and beyond. As already widely known, there will be a very special astronomical event involving Venus on June 8 - the Transit of Venus. The 'goddess planet' will move directly across the disk of the Sun... to signal something.
For now, let me end this article by listing some potential events that could come on/around the key dates (though not necessarily in May). These are examples of major developments that would continue and intensify the underlying symbolic pattern.
Major announcement concerning Mars, such as the discovery of life or present water of Mars.
Major development involving or associated with 9/11 and/or Iraq.
Major event involving Arnold Schwarzenegger and/or other Horus ('Antichristic') figures.
Major event that has to do with the fall/exit of one or more of the 'Babylon leaders' (which include figures such as, and those closely associated with, Bush/Cheney, Blair, Sharon, and particularly the Pope).
Some kind of nuclear event.
Whatever it may be, a key event is about to happen, or begin to happen, in the coming days and weeks - that's how I interpret the symbolic clues so far.
