A brief introduction
to Curious Alignments:
Pyramids,
stone circles, and other sacred geometry
form a mystery for the ages. Some sacred
geometry is found in nature
between mountains and lakes. This
geometry appears in
distances and angles between them.
Occasionally,
humans have built their own circles
mountain-llike structures
to emulate and to complement the
geometry
that we find in nature.
For example, we know that
Stonehenge is more than it's circle of stones.
We know that the site is very large
and that it also has remains of a woodhenge.
In addition, the areas that is now a
World Heritage Site contains a number of ancient
burial mounds.
We now believe that the
ancient culture travelled to Stonehenge
twice each year to bury the ashes of their
dead and to
celebrate and feast with the living. Nearby,
stone foundations
more than 1,000 ancient houses
have been discovered. How people
built the great stone circle 4500 years ago
is still debated.
The Hopewell
Civilization is name given to the
culture of moundbuilders
who flourished in the Great Lakes region
of America
from about 500 BCE to
1300 CE.
We have been finding evidence that this
culture aligned their
burial mounds in small and large
geometric patterns. One
example survives in the Chillicothe region
of southern Ohio.
The Hopewell appear to have aligned
their complex of burial mounds using strict
sacred geometry.
Prominently, they measured what we know
as Pythagorean 30-60-90
degree triangles as well as
20-70-90 degree triangles.
In addition, they incorporated
series of circles, rectangles, squares,
parallel projection lines in their
layouts
of mounds and other burial spaces.
200 miles
north of the concentration of mounds in
southern Ohio,
we find the remains of the massive
Great Mound of the Rouge that once stood
400 feet long, 200 feet wide
and 40 high. Today, the site is
home
to the Rouge complex of the Ford Motor Company.
The 200-mile meridian crosses a significant
latitude
containing additional mound complexes
and serves to create a large Pythagorean
triangle
that connects to present-day Cleveland,
Ohio.
Extending the meridian south through
Atlanta, Georgia
helps to create a larger triangle
that includes Machu Picchu.
A curious phenomena
in the iron-rich rocks of the Sedona area,
the energy points, known as vortices,
are geometrically aligned with one another.
Along with subtler relationships, the major
vortices
align to a polar North-South meridian.
This alignment forms 45 degree right
triangles
and 30-60-90 degree Pythagorean triangle.
One additional curiosity: Famed American architect
and geometrician
Frank Lloyd Wright placed the front of his
studio
exactly ninety miles due south of the
Boynton Vortex.
During the early 20th century,
Xavier Guichard of France discovered
that dozens
of European towns and ancient sites have names
derived from the same root name of
Alaise, an ancient name for star.
Furthermore, when he passed
24 lines through a point near the town
of Alaise in France, Guichard
found that dozens of locations with
names derived from Alaise
were situated along these lines.
As I studied the star, I wondered
why the area of Alaise was at the center of
this complex.
So, I decided to look at some old maps
that date back to the decline of the Roman
Empire.
As I began my work by drawing
a meridian line through the center point at
Alaise,
For reference, I also drew the Paris Roseline,
the Greenwich meridian, and a meridian through
Stonehenge.
I discovered that drawing a line from Rennes-Le-Chateau
through Alaise
led to the Observatory-Church alignments
on Bornholm Island.
The four European meridians discussed,
lie ninety degrees from the Great Lakes region.
The Prime Meridian for Michigan and Ohio starts
at Sault Sainte Marie.
There are
four major points that anchor the
geometry of the Great Lakes Biome
These are the Soo
ship locks, a point in a piece of
Federal Forest land, a point at Orion Township,
and the old riverfront at Detroit.
in order to replicate the sacred
geometry of the biome
we draw William Burt Meridian and
a baseline
along the 42 degree 55 minute
latitude. Next, we draw
an offset center-line that runs through the
four Michigan
points and extends to Machu Picchu. A connection
between Great Lakes and Machu Picchu may be
that each area contains
one is the four largest copper
deposits mined during the Bronze Age.
We begin to sketch the sacred geometry
by inscribing a circle that passes through
both the Soo and Orion points. Next,
we draw a circle of the same radius
centered at the Soo.
We continue by drawing a third circle of
the same size centered at Orion.
Finally, we draw
fourth and fifth circle of the same
diameter as the others
and these must be tangent to our center-line
at the center of the first circle drawn.
We drew the first three circles in
order to generate a Vesica Piscis.
Ancient philosophy is the Vesica Piscis
is to create a balanced consciousness
between the golden sun
and the silver moon.
In practical terms, this enables us to inscribe
a pair of equilateral triangles.
In addition we use our evolving geometry
to create
a pair of axes at the center
through the circles.
Now, we complete was is called the Solomon's
Key
by connecting the end points of the pair of
axes
and splitting the square into two rectangles.
This is a reproduction of an ancient
drawing of an actual Solomon's Key. We use
the diagonal of the rectangle from our square
to generate the proportion of Phi,1.618
From the Soo, we extend a radius
equal to the length of the diagonal of
one of our rectangles.
Then we rotate it to inscribe a circle.
The distance from the far side
of our square through the center-point to
the edge of the circle
equals the ratio of Phi. Let us duplicate
and move this copy of the line.
Next, we use this line
as a measure to draw the first inner
inverse pentagon.
Then, we draw a pentangle inside the
pentagon.
We are drawing these shapes to ensure
accuracy when
we extend 5 radial spokes
from the center to locate the corners
of the outer pentagon.
We repeat the expansionary process by drawing
an intermediate
second pentangle, tied down to the ends of
the spokes
along the circle.
Next,
we draw an intermediate pentagon with its
corners
attached to the points of the second pentangle.
Now, we copy the length of Phi. We can do
this by copying the sides
of the first pentangle and move them
outward in a parallel manner and,
finally, we draw the third pentangle
within the outer pentagon.
An ancient principle
for the design of building complexes
is to reflect
the night sky. This principle has been
iterated "as above, so below."
The Orion constellation has been reflected
often as has a path of Venus.
Sir Isaac Newton observed and mapped
the 5-year path to the planet Venus and
his results indicate a pentangle and pentagon
pattern that tips slightly to the left.
We find the tipped
pentangle and pentagram of Venus
and reflection of Orion superimposed
on the Great Lakes Biome.
A curiosity of the region
is the placement up the ancient byways now
known
as Woodward Avenue, and Grand River Avenue.
These roads project to intersect
midpoints the pentagon's sides. On a grander
scale,
the 10 radii of the pentagon point precisely
to significant locations across the Earth.
As we travel clockwise around the ten
we follow the first radius Southwest.
First, we pass through Oaxaca, Mexico
alongside the pyramidal ruins atop
Mount Alban and then to the small island of
Rapanui--Easter Island.
The second radius
takes us to White Sands, New Mexico,
a traditional
Native American site for spirit quests.
The third radius carries us to the
midpoint between two more spirit
quest sites. That sit
fifty miles apart from one another
along the volcanic range of the Pacific
coast.
Mount Shasta and Crater Lake.
The fourth radius
takes us through The Pass in Manitoba
settled by the Cree over 9000 years ago.
past the Mendenhall Glacier and out
along the chain of active volcanoes in the
Aleutian Islands.
The fifth and tenth radii connect the Holy
Mountains of
China and Machu Picchu. We will discuss these
later.
The sixth radius takes us to the island
of the ancient city of Mumbai and the
massive sculpted
Elephanta Caves.
The seventh radius takes us to the Tower
of Magdella which was placed to mark the focal
point
of the ancient Rennes-le-Chateau alignments
in Southern France.
The eighth radius progresses
to another volcanic complex in
Pre-Columbian city of Hochelaga.
The ancient city remains at the base of the
extinct volcano
of Mount Royal in present-day Montreal, Canada.
The ninth radius extends southeast, passes
to the site upon which Independence Hall
was built,
and projects onward to the anomaly
of glacial boulders
in Eastern Brazil.
Four identified meridians
in Europe and the Rennes-le-Chateau latitude
45 degrees 55 minutes figure
prominently
into the Great Lakes Biome. The 90 degree
offset of the
Alaise Meridian passes close to the
center
of the Great Lakes sacred geometry. The
offset of the
Stonehenge Meridian runs tangent to the
western corner
of the Great Lakes pentagon. The Rennes-le-Chateau
latitude
that extends to Crater Lake passes
through
the southeast corner of the pentagon
at Niagara. One of the Orion reflection
lines
extends to Rennes-le-Chateau while
another projects
to the Petrified Forest in Arizona.
Extending to the Petrified Forest, the Orion
line
intersects another principle that connects
the northern corner of the Biome
on a Native American
reservation.
Then, along the southern tip of Greenland
and onward to the Stonehenge World
Heritage Site
a line passes near the well-known stone circle
in the midst of the site. Stonehenge
and a number of other Neolithic sites
were co-opted and
a series of monasteries and churches
were built on many. The geometric shape
has become known as the
Perpetual Choirs Decagon.
It was aligned with a site near Cardiff,
Wales to project a midsummer's
sunrise line.
The line from the Petrified Forest
continues onward into the
European continent and
passes through the center-point of the
Alaise Alignments.
It extends along the base
the sunrise side of the Matterhorn Mountain
in Switzerland. This alignment concludes
at the ancient burial mounds the now
submerged city of Faras and Abu Simbel
in Egypt. Another lengthy alignment
along the Pacific coast of the Americas
connects
ancient Native American holy sites of
Mount Shasta and Crater Lake in North America
to major pyramids in Central and
South America. Halfway between the North
and South American sites
is the complex of Teotihuacan.
The pyramid of the Sun is the largest in
this solar-centric complex.
The south end of the Pacific Coast
alignment seems to have
roots in Nazca, Peru.
One of the major lines
heads northwest to Mount Shasta in Northern
California.
Another major line projects to the east
the steps of the Sacred Valley within the
sacred district
of Machu Picchu.
By extending the center line of the
Great Lakes geometry southward to
Machu Picchu,
we find that that plaza at Machu Picchu sits
at the northernmost tip of a complex
of ancient sites.
The line that complements the Petrified Forest,
Stonehenge, and Faras alignment,
previously discussed, connects to an undersea
region
in the Atlantic Ocean. This line
passes along much-explored and researched
plateau on the Seawarte Sea Mound.
Passing through this region is the path
that connects Machu Picchu
and the alignments at Rennes-le-Chateau
in Southern France.
The Machu Picchu alignment crosses
the 30 degree
north latitude the Giza pyramid and
passes
through the undersea Madeira Plane.
Another major set of alignments center at
the Great Pyramid of Giza.
The pyramid is located at the exact
center
of Earth's landmasses.
Let's return to the Soo / Machu Picchu
alignment.
in the Americas.
We find that extending the line northward
through the Great Lakes Biome
and over the polar region
takes us to the Holy Mountains of China.
Here, there are constellations of four
Buddhist mountains
and five Taoist mountains.
From this point, we can trace constellation
of the
Five Taoist Mountains
these include mountains temple such as
the ones at
Tia Shan.
Also from the northern point, we can trace
the constellation
of the four Buddhist Mountains.
These include sites such as the Shaolin
monastery and the Longmen grotto
near Song Mountain.
Due west of Shaolin and Longmen
sits the cluster of Chinese pyramids at Xian.
These pyramids are positioned to one another
in a manner similar to the ones in Egypt.
Returning to the Pyramids at Giza, 78
degrees
longitude to the west, we can make a
comparison of
the two sets that involve the use of Phi.
Also, Peter Champeaux, author of the Gaia
Matrix,
points out the application of Phi
to the Great Lakes Biome.
The mystery of these curious alignments continue
to unfold.
So far,
we have only scratched the surface of this
puzzle.
Every year,
new and fascinating curiosities
come to the surface.
As those exploring this and related
mysteries
share their findings through books and
videos,
we continue to learn
and continue to ask questions such as:
What is the significance of these discoveries?
Were all ancient civilizations
interconnected?
What does the interconnectivity of sites suggest?
