1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:14,200 Well, good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, it's great to be here with you at Glassenbury. 2 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:19,760 As you told you, unfortunately, Chris can't be here, it's due to a problem with Spain and 3 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:20,760 grandchildren. 4 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,920 So, we won't go into it any further than that. 5 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:28,200 But I do notice, looking at my first slide, that it's probably just as well that 6 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:34,040 he's not here, because as you will see, I've managed to split my name into two. 7 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:38,800 Now Chris is definitely the artistic one in our partnership. 8 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:44,240 Last time I made a slide show for a talk, he said, Alan, that's not megalithic. 9 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,600 He said, that's me under-tile. 10 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:52,640 So, you just have to make do with the slides as I've put them together, but I'm sure 11 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,440 they'll all make sense. 12 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:59,360 Now then, I'm going to see if by the magic of, oh, look at that. 13 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:00,360 Incredible. 14 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,560 Okay, so this is the book. 15 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,080 Why is it- 16 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:09,800 Nevermind, this is a little bit of a status. 17 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,960 I'm talking to you tonight about our book before the pyramids. 18 00:01:13,960 --> 00:01:18,520 But it's important, I think, that before I do, because some of you will have not run 19 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:23,360 our books, and don't know what our information is about, that I go back a little bit and 20 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:28,160 give you a brief resume of where we're coming from in the first place. 21 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:34,480 This therefore is the first slide in the most important slide with regard to our common 22 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:35,480 research. 23 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:41,720 Just over 20 years ago, I decided to take a holiday in Crete, in Greece. 24 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:46,480 I had an ulterior motive for wanting to be there, because I've been interested for a long 25 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,880 time in the Minoan civilization. 26 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:55,560 Now the Minoan's flourished in Crete until probably around about 1440 BC. 27 00:01:55,560 --> 00:02:01,120 They are renowned as being Europe's first super-civilization. 28 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:02,400 They had a wonderful civilization. 29 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:08,480 They were great sailors, great traders, a very peaceful civilization. 30 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,920 So it seems they had no major standing army. 31 00:02:10,920 --> 00:02:12,120 They had a very good navy. 32 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,760 They could defend against piracy and so forth. 33 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:22,600 Generally speaking, it was very equitable and very feminine-led, feminine-led sort of society. 34 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:30,040 Now, one of the things that interested me most about the Minoans was their ability to count. 35 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:36,280 I knew before I went to Crete that they had their own measuring systems, their own weight 36 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:42,920 systems, and their own accountancy systems, because of course they were great traders. 37 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,000 One of the devices I was most interested in was what you can see on the screen before you know. 38 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,000 It's called the Faestos Disc. 39 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:54,480 It was found in the ruins of a palace, the palace of Faestos on the south of Crete, 40 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,440 and the beginning of the 20th century. 41 00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,520 It dates back to an estimated 2000 BC. 42 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:07,320 It's a double-sided disc, about five and a half inches across, on both sides of the disc, 43 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,800 is a spiral which is incised into the disc. 44 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:17,640 Within the spiral, in both cases, there are higher glyphics, which is set within groups. 45 00:03:17,640 --> 00:03:25,080 Before I went to Crete, I had an idea exactly what this disc might do. 46 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:33,080 I was able to go and see the real one in heraclium museum, and researched drawing my period there, 47 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,360 and subsequently brought out what I already believed. 48 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:41,000 We don't know what the disc says, because the hieroglyphics obviously represent the 49 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:48,040 manoeuvra in language, we don't know what language they spoke, so these hieroglyphs have never been 50 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:49,560 deciphered. 51 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:55,880 It wasn't so much an interest to me to know what the disc said as what it could do, 52 00:03:55,880 --> 00:04:03,000 because if we take each hieroglyph within each group representing one digit, it turns out that 53 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:10,600 face dust disc is a wonderful multifunctioning machine, which can do all sorts of wonderful 54 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:16,760 tricks as far as the sky is concerned. It can, for example, predict the position in the zodiac 55 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:24,280 of the sun moon mercury venus, at any time on any day, ever in a very, very simple way. 56 00:04:24,280 --> 00:04:30,200 But my first idea about the disc is that it must have been associated with a calendar. 57 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:36,440 I took this to be the case because on one side of the disc, there are 30 groups on the other 58 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:44,360 side of the disc, there are 31 groups. And I hypothesized that maybe this represented two months 59 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:50,520 of a calendar which alternated between 30 and 31 days for each month, and straight away that 60 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:58,600 led me to believe, just maybe the manoeuvra celebrated a year of 366 days. That might seem a little 61 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:05,800 bit odd to us, but it's not really, we live on an earth which unfortunately, in terms of its 62 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:16,040 orbit around the sun, does not have an even number of days. The solar is 365.2564 days, 63 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:22,520 which is damned inconvenient if you happen to be a farmer. So we have to do one of two things. 64 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:28,360 We either have to have a year of 365 days and compensate by adding days every so often 65 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:34,360 or 366 days and removing days every so often. And I came to understand that it's a long 66 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:40,440 and complicated exploration, which is not actually part of this talk. That what they had done was, 67 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:49,800 they had devised a secondary calendar, which had units of 123 days, which are indicated on 68 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:58,920 side over the disc. And after four times 123 days, which is 492 days, they removed one day from 69 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:06,520 the ritual 366 day calendar. And that meant that their calendar would remain accurate with the 70 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:14,520 solar calendar for 10,000 years without any other correction having to be made. This is absolutely 71 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:20,600 stupidest and is far far better than the system we're using now when we're working in the opposite 72 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:31,880 direction. So they were able to resolve the dilemma of the 365-6-6 day year and I was able to 73 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:37,080 say with some certainty that I hit upon something very significant because, no of the culture until 74 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:44,360 that point in time, had ever used this sort of calendar as far as we knew. If we move on to the 75 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:55,240 next slide, which is that one, Ho-8 works, I took the information that I already had about the 76 00:06:55,240 --> 00:07:05,240 face-dostisc and I looked at the menelin way of measuring distance, a Canadian archaeology 77 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:11,480 by the name of Jay Walsh-A Graham, had discovered that the menelins used a linear unit which was 78 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:18,920 30.365 centimeters in length, very close to the modern statue foot, but just very slightly different. 79 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,400 He'd come to this conclusion because of the measurements he'd taken on all the known 80 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:30,440 menelin palaces and other buildings. There was a little bit of criticism at first, people said, 81 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:35,800 maybe true, why you'd made just be making something up that just happens to fit. But then a few 82 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:41,080 years after another palus was found at Zacro, which hadn't been discovered before, and low and 83 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:48,040 behold, his measurement is fitted. So now everybody is pretty sure that the menelin foot was 84 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:55,640 30.365 centimeters in length. I wanted to know if this meshed with any other measuring system, 85 00:07:55,640 --> 00:08:00,520 ancient measuring system, which we knew about in Europe, but they have very few on far between. 86 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:06,760 The annual which I already knew about was the megalithic yard, which was rediscovered by Professor 87 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:12,360 Alexander Tom, who I mentioned most specifically in a moment. He said that the megalithic yard, 88 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:18,040 which he claimed had been used in most of the megalithic structures throughout Britain and in Britain. 89 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:29,320 It was 82.96 centimeters in length, or 2.72 to feet. And very quickly I came to discover that 90 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:37,480 1000 menelin feet is exactly the same as 366 megalithic yards, and it's so exactly the same 91 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:45,240 that it's a market respect to J Walter Graham Alexander Tom and to the people who designed these units 92 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:49,960 in the first place. And what it told me was that it was likely to be a very definite connection 93 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:56,360 between those two units. So it's two different ways of measuring the same linear length. 94 00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:01,880 Now I mentioned a minute ago, Alexander Tom, that's him. Alexander Tom was born 95 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:08,440 towards the end of the 19th century. He grew to become a professor of engineering, a talks 96 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:18,120 of a university. On the way, he was fascinated by astronomy and also by archaeology. He was a 97 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:25,240 scott, because of that he was particularly interested in the megalithic monuments in Scotland, 98 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:31,240 especially the early circles. And he had a hunch that the stone circles in Scotland had been built 99 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:38,440 to track the torture was positioned of the moon across its long periods. And he wanted to prove 100 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:44,920 this to himself. And so he sat himself a task which became a lifetime task to survey carefully and to 101 00:09:45,560 --> 00:09:52,280 measure extremely carefully, every megalithic structure that he could find. And he was doing this for 102 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:58,760 55 years in almost every spare moment that he had. All the famous structures were measured and he 103 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:05,800 even carried on down and did the rows in Karnak and in other places in Brittany. And he came to 104 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:12,760 lots of conclusions, most of which the archaeological community is accepted to the extent that he 105 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:18,840 sometimes called the father of astroarchology. But that his one thing I'll examine the tomb found, 106 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:23,960 the archaeologists didn't like and still don't like that. And that was the megalithic yard. 107 00:10:24,680 --> 00:10:32,200 Tom said that it was a consequence of all of the measurements he'd collected that the people who built 108 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:39,080 the megalithic structures of Britain and France had used one standard units of measurement. In fact, 109 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:44,920 two or three, but all based on the same units of measurement, he said, I'll call it the megalithic 110 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:52,200 yard. He takes exists. They said, can you prove it takes this and he said it's there? And the British 111 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:58,360 society for statistics gave him a goal medal for finding it. But archaeology said, this is absolutely 112 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:05,800 impossible. And you can see that point of view, how could people living between 3500 BC and at least 113 00:11:06,680 --> 00:11:16,280 2000 BC have created and sustained a linear unit which remained totally unchanged across that whole period 114 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:23,080 of time and across that great geographical distribution. Tom couldn't answer the question, 115 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:27,720 but he said, even though I can't answer the question, they did it somehow because it's there 116 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:36,600 in the statistics. This was at the point when Chris later I got together and we decided that 117 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:42,600 Tom deserved somebody looking into the situation and trying to find out exactly what the 118 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:48,600 megalithic yard was, how it had been maintained. We didn't know at that time that we would end up 119 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:54,280 writing a book about it. We certainly didn't know we'd end up writing four books about it, but that's 120 00:11:54,360 --> 00:12:03,640 what happened. We searched really hard to find something within the world, the length of an arm, 121 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:09,960 the length of a leg, the length of a centipede, anything which would just always come out at the 122 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:16,840 same linear unit and there is nothing. But by a stroke of the greatest look when we were having 123 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:22,600 a conversation one day, somebody and we still don't know who did it. We both claim that we are 124 00:12:22,680 --> 00:12:30,360 the geniuses that thought this up. Somebody said, what about a pendulum? And then everything clicked. 125 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:35,880 There is only one thing in the world that never changes or if it does change, it changes 126 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:41,000 the gossip tremendously long period of time and that is the right at which the earth turns. 127 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:47,960 Would it be possible somehow to monitor that and to use it to devise a unit of measurement? 128 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:53,880 We knew that in a sense this was done much later because when the metric system was devised, 129 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:59,720 originally they had wanted to use the length of a pendulum that beat in one second, the second 130 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:05,720 pendulum to define the meter in the end the made it a geographical unit. But we knew that people 131 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:10,600 thought about that before we said to ourselves, could the megalithic people have thought about it. 132 00:13:11,560 --> 00:13:18,280 So there we are, that is our pendulum. About as simple as you can get a piece of string, a weight 133 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:26,360 and the full crew at the top. Chris has made this one a super duper pendulum but you can hold it with 134 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:32,600 the fingers just as easily. Now I think about a pendulum is the only thing that affects its 135 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:42,760 swing and the time of its swing is the length of the string and the force of gravity which changes 136 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:50,440 by a tiny tiny amount across the surface of the planet. But to long-intention purposes, once you set your 137 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:56,840 pendulum swinging it will always keep the same time just as long as you keep it agitated. If you swing it too hard it will 138 00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:02,040 start jerking but generally speaking it's a very reliable way of measuring time which of course 139 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:07,880 is why it was used so much in the manufacture of clocks. So we have our pendulum and how can you make 140 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:14,040 that into a linear unit of measurement? Well what we devised was this. It's a brace to wooden frame. 141 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:22,040 It is just four pieces of wood joined together by ropes of a specific length. What you have to do is you 142 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:28,680 have to stand in the middle of a large open space with an eastward view. You have to make yourself 143 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:35,640 a circle, just not really matter how big the circle is and then you have to divide that circle into 144 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:44,520 3606 units. Now the reason that we chose that was because we figured by this time that there had 145 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:51,000 been a different kind of geometry that what the manorans were telling us was not only was our year 146 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:58,760 3606 days but our geometry had one degree for each day of the year. Therefore we had a 3606 147 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:04,120 degree geometry. We didn't know that was the case. We were trying out we were experimenting which of 148 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:12,280 course is what science is all about. So we devised our circle into 3606 segments. We take one of those 149 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:17,800 segments over in the east and we make sure that from where we stand at the centre of the circle 150 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:23,720 that this brace to wooden frame is exactly the same length as one of those segments. 151 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:31,320 What we do that is we put our brace wooden frame up on two legs and we make it in such a way 152 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:39,560 that celestial bodies which are falling towards the ground on their way back to the dark side of the earth 153 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:46,120 will pass through that channel in the brace wooden frame. By China knower we eventually 154 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:52,600 came to realise that what had been used to make this calculation was not a star but in fact the 155 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:58,360 planet Venus and the planet Venus when it was becoming an evening star it had just crossed the 156 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:03,400 sun and it was starting to appear as an evening star moving rapidly in the opposite direction 157 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:10,760 counter to the zodiac gave exactly the right timing. Now if one stood at the centre of the circle 158 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:17,000 and watched Venus passing through that box and swung a pendulum while it was happening. 159 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:25,960 If that pendulum swung exactly 366 times as Venus passed down that slot that pendulum would have to 160 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:34,120 be one half of a magnetic yell in length. We cheered because we knew. Alexander Thomas said, 161 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:39,240 yes they used a magnetic yell but they also used a half magnetic yell they used another unit 162 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:44,840 which he called the magnetic rod which was two and a half magnetic yards. So we knew that for 163 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:49,880 that standard unit they'd taken this pendulum length they doubled it and that was the magnetic 164 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:55,720 rod. So how could it be passed on from generation to generation it didn't need to be. They simply 165 00:16:55,720 --> 00:17:02,600 recreated it whatever they needed it and the difference in the in the accuracy of this unit 166 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:09,160 Alexander Thomas found the discrepancy is exactly the discrepancy one would expect to find 167 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:16,840 in gravity between the north of Scotland and the south of Brittany. So we thought that that 168 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:24,360 was proven scientists didn't and still doubt but that's their business not mine. So that allowed 169 00:17:24,360 --> 00:17:31,080 as gradually to build a magnetic geometry. So what we came up with in the end and again 170 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,760 I'm having to skip through it a bit because I want to tell you something about the recent book 171 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:41,640 mega the geometry is based on the number of days in the ritual year therefore 366 and now we knew 172 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:47,400 that not only the manoeins but also the magnetic peoples of Great Britain must have been aware of and 173 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:57,240 used a 366 degree circle. So circles have 360 degrees we discover that each degree they had split into 174 00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:03,480 60 magnetic minutes of arc very similar to modern geometry but when we came to the minute we 175 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:10,600 soon began to realize remember the 366 magnetic yards in the 1000 manoeins feet we knew that was a geometric 176 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:21,320 unit. So we said each minute represents six magnetic seconds of arc and therefore each second is also 177 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:29,160 equal to 366 magnetic yards of the polar circumference of the earth. This is absolutely accurate. 178 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:36,440 So we know that these people must have known the polar circumference of the earth. The 179 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:43,400 estimation of it using this geometry is equally as accurate as any assessment we have now and you're 180 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:47,320 here a lot of different interpretations of what that is because it depends whether you're measuring 181 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:54,840 over land or the measuring over sea but generally speaking it's 40,12 kilometers and that comes out 182 00:18:54,840 --> 00:19:02,280 at 366 magnetic yards for each magnetic second of arc of the polar circumference. I hope that's 183 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:10,680 clear. So, the magnetic measure in system based on the size of the earth, based on the mass of the earth. 184 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:18,280 It isn't just the magnetic yard. If you make a cube which is one tenth sides of a magnetic yard 185 00:19:18,360 --> 00:19:28,200 and you fill that cube with water it will weigh a pound. Sorry it will be one pint of water. 186 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:35,480 If you par the water out of the cube and fill the cube with any kind of serial grain like wheat or barley 187 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:43,240 or oats it will weigh one pound. So both the pound and the pint ultimately are derived from the 188 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:50,600 magnetic yard. In 2000 BC, or between then a 17 hundred BC the magnetic yard vanished but it's 189 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:56,520 a company in you and it's didn't the pound and the pint survive. Now those units have anything to do 190 00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:02,360 with the thought, their derivatives of the magnetic yard and we've even discovered since that it would 191 00:20:02,360 --> 00:20:08,760 have been quite possible to measure temperature using the magnetic scale. The reason we say this is if 192 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:15,320 you were to take a temperature scale in which zero represented freezing part of water and boiling 193 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:23,800 point represented 366 degrees then absolute zero would be exactly minus 10,000 degrees absolutely. 194 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:32,760 It's unbelievable it's stunning. So by this time we were in a position to think about right in our 195 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:38,280 own book and we put that book together but we wanted to make some predictions there were things 196 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:45,720 we'd expect you to find that we hadn't found. So these are some of them and we wrote this down in 197 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:52,680 our book. We expect to find circles with a diameter or a circumference of 366 magnetic yards that 198 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:58,280 should be self-evident. It was a unit that we knew they knew about they must have used it somewhere 199 00:20:58,360 --> 00:21:04,920 or magnetic runs which had just each one is 2.5 magnetic yards. We said we expect to find circles 200 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:13,960 with a diameter or circumference of 732 magnetic yards or runs that's twice 366 and the reason 201 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:19,880 that we expected that was because of the next expectation. We expect to find circles with a diameter 202 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:27,480 or a radius of 233 magnetic yards or runs. We believe that this would be the case because we 203 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:31,960 knew these people were very bright and we thought they must have tripped over a fact that we 204 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:40,920 tripped over. Any circle which has a diameter of 233 units of any kind will also have a circumference 205 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:48,920 of 732 units of the same kind. I hope that makes sense to you. We call it a pie survivor. There are 206 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:54,600 very few circles in which the diameter and the circumference are both even numbers of the same units. 207 00:21:54,680 --> 00:22:00,520 That's one of them and it's twice 366. So we thought if we fell upon it they must surely 208 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:08,360 have fallen upon it. Those are the predictions we made. Okay, now we went on and we wrote civilisation 209 00:22:08,360 --> 00:22:14,600 one. We've got the book downstairs. I hope some of you will have read it and if you haven't 210 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:18,840 get it out of the library, borrow it off the friend's deal, do whatever you like but read the book 211 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:28,920 because we so enjoyed writing it. Now a little while after we got the book on the road, in fact, 212 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:33,160 we'd written a book on another subject since. I was watching a television program by 213 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:43,320 Dan Crookchunk. Crookchunk is an architect and an archaeologist, Lovzell buildings. This particular 214 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:50,920 programming was doing was about the city of Bath which is not so far from here. A lot of the city of 215 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:59,560 Bath was built by a collector called John Wood who thrived at the end of the 18th century. He built 216 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:04,760 many buildings there. This is part of one of them. It's known as King Circus. It's a huge circle of 217 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:11,320 regency houses. Very beautiful. Very worth seeing. And what's more, in the centre there is a group of 218 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:16,200 trees. And if you're going to that group of trees and shout, it echoes round for about five 219 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,720 things. We know them because we've tried it. That was an accident and it's got nothing to do with 220 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:30,760 our investigation. So what is special about this was that Don Crookchunk happened to mention 221 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:38,600 what the diameter of the King Circus was. And immediately it rang a ball in my mind. I knew 222 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:44,680 the number that he was talking about because I'd been dealing so much with magnetic geometry. 223 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:51,720 So, Kate and I came to my wife and I happened to be doing some research in North Wales and we 224 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:57,160 struck out straight down to Bath. We had to go and see for ourselves. So early one morning we got 225 00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:02,040 down there. We did our measurements with our tapes, which the amusement of everybody who lives there 226 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:07,480 shouting a few times just to tell people we were there. And then came away with the measurements. 227 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:15,080 And lo and behold, the circumference of the circle that is formed by the front of the houses in King 228 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:24,600 Circus is exactly 366 megallific yards. How an earth could this come about? This is absolutely ridiculous. 229 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:31,320 The megallific yard and the megallific geometry disappeared by 1700 BC. A long comes this guy in 230 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:37,480 the 18th century. Bill's himself a circle of houses and lo and behold, it's 360 megallific 231 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:42,280 yards. Ah, but it's not quite that simple. When I came to do some research about this man, 232 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:48,440 I discovered that he was an antiquarian. He loved things, megalithic, which he thought were Roman, 233 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:53,880 but let's forgive him for that. He loved them all the same and he measured them all. And one of 234 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:59,720 the ones that he measured was Stonehenge. And when I went to Stonehenge and had a look at Stonehenge, 235 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:06,280 which we'd looked at in great detail before, Chris and I then noticed something that we hadn't 236 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:13,720 noticed before. This is Stonehenge. It doesn't look very much like Stonehenge. It's Stonehenge one. 237 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:20,600 It's what Stonehenge looked like when people first started it. It was nothing more than a circular 238 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:27,480 bank and ditch. Incidentally, it wasn't even a hinge really because the ditch was outside the bank. 239 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:31,880 And as I'll tell you in a moment, it had true hinge. The ditch is always inside the bank. 240 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:37,720 But we call it a hinge and we call it Stonehenge and it's there and it measures 366 241 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:44,440 megallific yards as a conference. So our first impression was, John Wood clearly had been really 242 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:50,200 fixated by Stonehenge. It measured the hinge and he's had to build these circle of houses 243 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:56,280 to reflect Stonehenge. And that is where that particular part of our investigation stopped. 244 00:25:56,360 --> 00:26:02,760 I've got time at the end. I'll tell you how we come back to that. So we had a hinge and we knew 245 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:07,160 that the reason that we found those numbers we were looking for was because we hadn't been going 246 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:14,680 old enough. Henges are much older than Stonehenge circles. By common consensus, many of the 247 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:22,120 hinges they're back to at least 3,500 BC, although in a few special cases they had. In most cases, 248 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:28,520 people have not started dragging stones around the landscape at that time. But of hinges, 249 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:35,400 there were plenty. So could we find any more that conformed to our previous expectations? 250 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:41,480 Well, we found the three biggest hinges in the country. And outly, the three biggest hinges in the 251 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:45,960 world. But since there are no hinges, except in Great Britain, that might not be quite as good as 252 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:56,600 it sounds. But there we go. And this is what we found. This is an aerial view of Fondrahenge's 253 00:26:56,600 --> 00:27:01,960 in North Yorkshire, which by sheer coincidence happens to be equidistant from my house and Chris 254 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:08,120 his house. So we met here a lot, that one there is the northern hinge. That's the central 255 00:27:08,120 --> 00:27:13,160 hinge, that's the southern hinge. And they're joined together now as they have always been joined 256 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:19,400 by a ritual avenue, which presumably when the hinges were built, people used to walk up and down 257 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:26,040 for one reason or another. Now it's very difficult to guess from that picture, just how big those 258 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:32,360 hinges are. And very in mind, there's three of them. Well, my only artistic enterprise that you will 259 00:27:32,360 --> 00:27:39,800 see tonight is this. In the middle is an aerial view of Seb Paul's Cathedral, and it's in a 260 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:46,680 hinge. And it's in one of those hinges. That is how big these hinges are. They are utterly colossal. 261 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:52,360 They do have any other magnificent structure in the country. And yet hardly anybody even knows 262 00:27:52,360 --> 00:27:57,240 about them. They call the Fondrahenge array and they're absolutely brilliant. And you have to 263 00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:03,880 trespass to even get into see them. Next time in Yorkshire, trespass, go and see them. They are really, 264 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:13,000 really impressive. Okay, so this is what the hard branches look like. We have over here, 265 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:17,800 the northern hinge, which at the moment is covered in woods, and has been probably for many 266 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:24,120 centuries, and so is extremely well preserved. And it's very difficult to make much out of it when 267 00:28:24,120 --> 00:28:29,400 you're actually in it because of all the trees. But the banks and ditches still survive. We have 268 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:35,720 bounced there that are far five meters in high. So you can see, roughly, what a 269 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:41,320 magnificent structure looked like. Then there's the central hinge, which is comparatively well 270 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:46,760 preserved, and much easier to see because it's open and all there is in the centuries shape. 271 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:53,480 And the southern hinge is the least well preserved, partly plowed out, but still fairly easy to see. 272 00:28:53,880 --> 00:29:04,920 Each of the hinges is the same size. Now, if we look at the dimensions of the hinges, 273 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:12,440 we find, I'll come to that a little bit later on, I've got the dimensions a bit later on. One of the 274 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:19,480 things that was interesting about the hinges was that it's really peculiar shaped. It looks as if 275 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:25,320 it ought to be straight. It looks as if some megalithic beer was involved in the planet of it, 276 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:30,120 because as you can see, it's not actually a straight line. It's got a dog leg in the middle. 277 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:36,280 Now, one of the archaeologists, Brave Manne, must have been, who dug this and discovered the dates 278 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:43,480 with 3500 BC, also dead to go into print and say, it looks very much like Orion's belt. 279 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:51,320 He's probably now dead and buried for all I know, but we decided, oh, this is the Rhine's belt, 280 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:58,520 by the way, you see, now it's been sped. There are three stars of a Rhine's belt, and you can see that 281 00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:06,120 they don't actually line up. There's a dog leg. So we said to ourselves, wow, this is probably 282 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:16,600 rubbish. So we'll superimpose the stars of Orion's belt onto cloud branches and see what happens, 283 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:25,480 and so we did. Voila, they fit. Oh, no, it's first of all, that's the offset. So we'll come into the next one, 284 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:31,880 and that's with the stars. The black dots of the stars superimposed onto the hinges, 285 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:39,000 incredible and incredible fit. How a myth could such an incredible fit of come about. 286 00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:46,200 But first of all, I ought to tell you that I mentioned of the hinges. Each of the hinges, 287 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:52,120 originally, you can see that there's double banks and ditches, and that's because when they were first 288 00:30:52,920 --> 00:31:00,120 dug, when the hinges were first created, all of them, originally, were 732 289 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:09,960 megallific yards in circumference. Then, sorry, no, 366 megallific runs in circumference each of them. 290 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:15,240 Then soon after that first being created, those ditches and the banks were lavalled, 291 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:20,760 they re-made them, so the inner ones and the ones they are now. And each of those is 732 292 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:28,440 megallific yards in circumference. The distance between the hinges, between that one and that one, 293 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:35,880 is 366 megallific runs, between that one and that one is 360 megallific runs. 294 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:43,960 They are almost ecradist but not quite. They are almost straight but not quite. How an earth could 295 00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:49,080 they have got such an exact match. When you look and if you go up tonight, you can still see 296 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:53,320 a Ryan's belt. It's getting a bit near the suburb but you can still see it. When you do, 297 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:59,800 look how small it is in the sky. These people have no telly scopes. Your thumb, a tarn's length, 298 00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:05,000 will cover the hole of a Ryan's belt. How an earth with a naked eye can you possibly tell the difference 299 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:10,280 between the gap between one star and the lex star? Well, they could do it and they did do it. 300 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:15,800 And we think this is how they did it. What did it was the built themselves and upright? 301 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:22,280 They stood at a distance from it, looking east. The upright may have had a t bar across it like this. 302 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:27,960 One, but to be quite honest, that's not necessary at all. They waited until a Ryan's belt 303 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:35,080 went up in the sky until it turned. It goes almost vertical. Eventually, it turns on its back. 304 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:41,400 He doesn't do that so well now but it did in 3500 BC. And when it was parallel with our eyes and 305 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:49,560 that's when they wanted to view it. And as that star passed that post, they started to swing a pendulum. 306 00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:54,680 This was not a magnetic pendulum. This was a one second, one meets a pendulum. 307 00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:59,480 And we're talking about 3500 BC. We know because we can recreate the experiment. 308 00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:03,880 They started to swing a pendulum when that star disappeared, they had the upright. 309 00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:11,000 That pendulum swung 366 times before that star disappeared behind the upright. 310 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:18,200 The same pendulum swung 366 times before that star disappeared behind the upright. 311 00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:23,320 They had the measurements they needed. They merely transmuted those beats of a pendulum 312 00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:26,360 to linear measurements on the ground, which in this case were 313 00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:34,280 bigolithic robs in length. And they could lay out the hinges exactly as they're being in the sky 314 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:40,600 and get them absolutely correct. There's so much I could tell you about Thorne Brehangers. 315 00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:45,720 I could tell you that there's also a hinge 10 miles away which represents the star 316 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:51,800 serious, which of course is the star, the brightest star in the sky. And it's what the stars in 317 00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:56,840 Ryan's about point to. I can tell you that there are other hinges which may represent 318 00:33:56,840 --> 00:34:02,120 other points in the constellation of Orion. And there's some hinges missing but so many are 319 00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:07,560 plowed out. But all of these hinges and at least six are seven of them in that particular part. 320 00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:13,880 Neer Reppen in North Yorkshire are all the same size and they are absolutely massive. 321 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:20,200 A huge effort in terms of manufacture. And what were they used for? 322 00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:25,960 Well, apparently, a lot of archaeological idea they were meeting places. 323 00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:32,280 Each one is so big you could have fitted the population of Great Britain into it without any 324 00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:37,800 trouble whatsoever. And there were three of them. And originally there were many more dotted about 325 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:43,480 the landscape. There are lots of other ideas meeting places. Well yes but if you were in 326 00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:48,280 the wrong part of the circle you wouldn't be able to see the other people, maybe there were meeting 327 00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:54,120 places that don't doubt it. But what we think they were was they were a form of experimental 328 00:34:55,400 --> 00:35:00,840 astronomy. If you think about a stone circle, a stone circle does things that you want to do. 329 00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:08,120 The sun will rise behind one stone. The moon will fall behind another stone. But that is astronomy 330 00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:12,920 set in stone literally. If you want to carry on doing experiments, you don't want stones. 331 00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:20,440 Your ability to serve a bank, a circular bank, of known proportions, and you can use as many 332 00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:27,320 sticks and great poles and trees along that bank top as you possibly want. And if you are 333 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:31,320 experiment isn't right, all you have to do is take out the sticks, put them somewhere else and keep 334 00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:36,760 trying. It's almost certain that that's what hinges were originally used for. They could have 335 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:42,120 had lots and lots of ceremonial purposes, but I think it's definitely the case that they were used 336 00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:50,760 for experimental astronomy at the very dawn of the megalithical understanding of the sky. 337 00:35:52,600 --> 00:36:03,400 Of course we were quite well aware that not only the structures in Tharnborough had been said to 338 00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:10,440 look like Orion's belt, the most famous ones of all, these, the pyramids in Egypt, the three 339 00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:17,400 major pyramids on the Giza plateau. Friend of ours, Robert Bovow wrote a book some years ago 340 00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:23,640 in which he suggested that these two represented Orion's belt. We have written so much in our 341 00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:30,280 book about Egyptian religion and it throws so much light on what religion may have been like in 342 00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:38,920 this country too in our own islands at one time. In terms of why serious was important, why Orion was 343 00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:45,480 important, but timely short and I can't go into detail. It's an absolutely fascinating story, 344 00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:51,480 but was there any connection between Tharnborough and Egypt? Well, what connection could there be? 345 00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:58,920 Tharnborough was created in 3500 BC. We are told and lots of people argue, but we are told that the 346 00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:06,920 pyramids were created around about 2500 BC. There were a thousand years apart and hundreds of 347 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:12,680 kilometers apart, could possibly be any of the connection. Well, first of all, we had to check out what 348 00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:18,440 Robert Bovow was saying and showing off there we are, the stars of Orion's belt fit perfectly 349 00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:29,400 onto the three major pyramids on the Giza plateau in Egypt. So if we were going to work out whether 350 00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:36,680 there was any connection. We might first of all ask ourselves, well we know how the hinges were laid 351 00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:41,560 out in Tharnborough did the Egyptians lay out the ground plan for their pyramids in the same way. 352 00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:49,720 We have some very sophisticated computer technology now which can show us the sky at any point 353 00:37:49,720 --> 00:37:56,920 back in time to about 10,000 BC. We can see what they saw. We can do hypothetical pendulum experiments 354 00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:03,400 that they could have done. We could not find any way that the Egyptians had used the same process. 355 00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:12,200 We weren't surprised because the pyramids are very close together than the hinges are. Although 356 00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:19,880 they are massive undertaking in terms of creation, they are a smaller physical dimensions than the 357 00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:30,120 hinges. But because we are mad people who do mad things, we happen to carry out the experiment 358 00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:39,880 for creating the ground plan for the pyramids not in Egypt but at Tharnborough and Voila, 359 00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:49,800 2005 or 200 BC on the day of the winter solstice it works. We are as sure as we can be even 360 00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:55,560 though it is absolutely ridiculous even though it is absolutely absurd that the ground plan for 361 00:38:55,560 --> 00:39:04,600 the pyramids on the geysplatter in Egypt was not created in Egypt itself but hundreds of kilometers 362 00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:10,600 away at Tharnborough and that somebody took that information to Egypt and upon that information was 363 00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:16,520 based the ground plan of the pyramids because it works perfectly. The problem with Egypt is it 364 00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:25,400 can't work there because even at the time we are talking about 2005 or BC, the rise about 365 00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:32,520 did not rise high enough that that latitude above the horizon to turn on to its backs efficiently 366 00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:41,400 so that the kind of experiment that created Tharnborough could be created again. We take our chance, 367 00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:47,880 you know, we say what we find, we don't always meet with approval. In fact we have the 368 00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:54,040 other meet with approval but what we are saying is we think this is science, anybody can take 369 00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:59,320 a calculator, anybody can look at computer program and work out for themselves just because it 370 00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:04,280 seems odd doesn't mean to say that it is not right and in each instance that I have been talking 371 00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:10,920 about so far tonight, if we are talking about coincidences, we are talking about colossal coincidences 372 00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:18,280 and maybe in other two generations, the archaeologists will start to listen to us, maybe they won't 373 00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:25,080 but if we get enough people listening to us, the ground force, the ground swell of ordinary people 374 00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:31,720 will make the difference. Okay so I'm now going to show you a picture of Washington DC, why? 375 00:40:31,720 --> 00:40:36,280 What on earth can that have to do with any of this? This is the sting in the tail. If you think 376 00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:43,400 what you've heard so far is unbelievable, why it was called a cop for this lot. We went back to, 377 00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:50,040 we went back to, we went back to, we took a bath again. We thought why did he make 378 00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:59,960 this circus, the size of stone hinge? Was it just that he'd copied stone hinge? We wanted to be thorough. 379 00:40:59,960 --> 00:41:04,440 Could we find the megalithic yard anywhere else in Bath? Well we thought we could but we couldn't 380 00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:08,760 be absolutely certain about it. There was something very strange about John Wood, 381 00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:17,000 something that jelled with information that Chris and I had dealt with. It sounds very strange but 382 00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:22,360 Chris and I do not just write books together on megalithic matters, we also write books together on 383 00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:28,760 free maistory and the history of free maistory. Chris is a free maiston, I'm not a free maiston. I stay out 384 00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:34,120 because I think I can't report what I find if I join the organisation, I have nothing against 385 00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:40,840 free maistory, I'm interested in it because of its mathematical and geometric potential. We knew that 386 00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:47,000 John Wood was a free maiston. Could that have had something to do with his use of the megalithic yard? 387 00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:53,160 We didn't know. Where could we go to find something that was built around about the same time 388 00:41:54,200 --> 00:42:01,080 as Bath, I was that part of Bath, which might have had a lot of free maistonic influence. 389 00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:06,840 Well the place that we could think about immediately was Washington DC. Washington DC was built 390 00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:13,320 towards the end of the 18th century after a slight fracass between Britain and America. 391 00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:18,840 For some reason they decided they wanted to be independent and wanted to own capital city. 392 00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:25,400 So they took a piece of land and a diamond shaped piece of land, ten miles in each direction 393 00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:33,000 and they said we're going to make this our capital. We looked at Washington DC and on Google Earth 394 00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:39,800 and we found something which surprised us this and Chris found it and Chris got on the phone 395 00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:44,680 to me and he said I found a henchman watching to DC and I said don't be ridiculous. 396 00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:49,720 And it was being ridiculous because it's not a henchman, it can't be henchman. But what he tears 397 00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:57,880 is the Washington National Astronomical Observatory. In the middle of our alert lot is the 398 00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:05,240 observatory and this represents the perimeter. Why the built in that shape? We have no idea. We can't 399 00:43:05,240 --> 00:43:11,880 discover but they did. But the strange thing about it is from there to there, measures 732 400 00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:18,120 megalithic yards exactly. Why should this be so? How do we come across another coincidence? 401 00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:26,680 I must be careful I don't over a minute. So okay so maybe it's a coincidence. Let's look further 402 00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:31,560 into it. Let's look at the centre of Washington DC. This is the centre of Washington DC. 403 00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:36,600 That is the capital building. That's the Washington Monument but the Washington Monument 404 00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:41,720 was originally supposed to be slightly that way and it wasn't because the ground there wasn't 405 00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:46,280 strong enough to take such a huge structure. And that up here is the White House. 406 00:43:47,240 --> 00:43:54,280 Now Washington DC was planned supposedly by a man called Pierre Charles Lawfall who was as his 407 00:43:54,280 --> 00:44:02,520 name sounds was French, Gennelied in Fremason but he was assisted by that man of all trades, 408 00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:08,280 George Washington, a citizen by someone who was even brighter and even cleverer, Thomas Jefferson 409 00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:13,640 and they decided they wanted to build Washington on a triangle. One of the points the triangle was 410 00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:18,520 there, another one was there, another one was there and then it came back down here and you can see 411 00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:24,920 that Pennsylvania Avenue really marvellous marks the the high opportunities of the triangle. 412 00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:31,720 It's and also the the mall represents the base of the triangle. So you can see nearly all the 413 00:44:31,720 --> 00:44:35,960 components of the triangle there. Everything else we are told was laid out from that. 414 00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:41,800 Why were we interested in Washington apart from the reasons of told you? All because of this man, 415 00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:49,720 this man Thomas Jefferson. Thomas Jefferson was the third president of the U.S. days. 416 00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:56,520 He was one of the most famous of the founding fathers. I'll show you a picture of him. No, I won't 417 00:44:56,600 --> 00:45:03,480 he's gone. Which doesn't surprise me incidentally. Do you have to take my word for it? 418 00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:13,800 Thomas Jefferson really did exist and apart from being a politician he was a liar. He was an architect, 419 00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:20,360 it was a surveyor. He was what he was just about everything. An incredible, incredible man. 420 00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:28,440 One of his first positions that he was given after he had been made ambassador in France to the 421 00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:38,200 New America was to be made secretary of state. In 1790 he came to the capital or what would be the 422 00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:44,760 capital and he said to Congress, I want to have a new system of measurements because we've 423 00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:50,280 cut our ties now with our mother country, we'll have our own system. He said, I want to base it on 424 00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:57,400 a yard or a second pendulum. But his second pendulum was slightly different because he wasn't 425 00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:05,560 a string. It was a rod. Now if you have a rod instead of a string in a weight, the rod will be half 426 00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:12,280 as long again to swing in the same time. So he wants you to one second rod. He divided that 427 00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:20,200 to make his units and he made a cube and filled the cube with water to make his capacity and 428 00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:25,640 weight units. He did the whole system. But what it amazed is about this system and we discovered 429 00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:32,920 this right back when we were doing civilisation one was that it encompassed all sorts of aspects 430 00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:37,960 of the megalithic system. Although he couldn't see it on the surface, the megalithic yard was 431 00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:44,440 in there statistically. There's most of happened because he'd used more or less the same method 432 00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:51,640 to create it. We were stupid but that's all we could think of. Now we come to wonder, is there 433 00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:57,800 anything in Washington DC that would lead us to believe that Jefferson knew more about the 434 00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:06,120 megalithic system? Which after all, as I've said, disappeared in 1700 BC. So we decided to look 435 00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:13,400 more closely, both at Jefferson and at Washington. And what we discovered right in the centre of 436 00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:21,800 Washington is this. This is called the ellipse. The ellipse is just south of the White House. 437 00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:29,000 It's on that line of the original triangle that joins Washington Monument with the White House. 438 00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:36,520 It's between the two. There's something unique about this from there to there. Measure 366 439 00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:43,560 megalithic yards. And we went on to discover that it's the focal point of all sorts of measurements 440 00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:49,880 in Washington DC. First of all, let me show you where the ellipse is. The yellow lines represent 441 00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:57,560 the boundary of the District of Columbia, which is the DC in Washington DC. If you draw a line 442 00:47:57,560 --> 00:48:03,560 down to a cross-repoint to point to point, where those two lines converge, that is exactly 443 00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:09,400 where the ellipses. The ellipse itself did not exist until after the American Civil War, 444 00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:15,160 but the land upon which it stood had been left vacant. It was a fence-off with a big white fence, 445 00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:22,920 and it was known as the White Lot. So we took that to be our central node. As it indeed is the 446 00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:34,200 central node of the District of Columbia. And we joined that point to all the major intersections 447 00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:43,240 in the original city as it was laid out by lawful. And lower behold, we get a very strange pattern. 448 00:48:43,240 --> 00:48:48,120 Everyone of these lines, don't matter what color they are. Everyone of these lines is definable 449 00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:56,200 in terms of a number of units of 366, Megolithic yards. Some of them are five times 366, 450 00:48:56,200 --> 00:49:01,560 some of them are four times 366, some of them are ten times 366. But to an incredible 451 00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:07,640 degree of accuracy, each one of those is a Megolithic measurement defined in seconds of Megolithic 452 00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:14,440 arc of the polar circumference of the earth. This is a plan laid down in Washington, underlying 453 00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:22,120 Washington itself and the eventual street plan. And you can only see it if you know about the 454 00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:30,200 Megolithic system. Now I want to just highlight this part. That is very significant. If I am not 455 00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:36,280 much mistaken, that is an arrow. And it's an arrow that points right to the central of the ellipse. 456 00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:41,080 That might be trying to tell us something about the central of the ellipse. Not only it's 457 00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:47,400 geographical position, but what we might expect to find there. I've got about five minutes left. 458 00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:54,440 So I just want to take you through this. Was the Megolithic system known at the end of the 18th 459 00:49:54,440 --> 00:50:00,440 century and then forgotten in Washington, D.C. Absolutely not. Oh, look, George has turned at 460 00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:08,200 whatever, Thomas has turned up. Don't know we got there. I told you you're right. This is, 461 00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:18,600 this is the Pentagon. The Pentagon was not built until 1941. But it ties in absolutely with 462 00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:24,920 the Megolithic measurements that I showed you earlier. It's definable to the centre of the ellipse. 463 00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:30,200 It's definable to the capital building and all the other structures that I mentioned. 464 00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:37,800 So the Pentagon itself, right? 366 Megolithic yards across the part of the circle 465 00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:45,800 that goes between each of its corners. 233 Megolithic yards across that circle. Again, 466 00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:52,360 bearing out exactly what we had predicted right back at the start of our research when we were 467 00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:57,960 writing civilisation one. We couldn't believe it. They could not be a more perfect 468 00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:04,600 Megolithic structure imaginable. And there it was in Washington, D.C. It was only built in 1941. 469 00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:11,400 What do we know about it? We know that it was a construct that was at the very heart of 470 00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:20,440 President Roosevelt at that time. Roosevelt was himself a 33rd degree free Mason. We know that when 471 00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:29,800 that was made, it joined up like this. So we get the Pentagon, the ellipse, the capital. And if you 472 00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:37,640 measure around that, you get 33 times 366 Megolithic yards. So it's not only a 473 00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:44,040 Megolithic structure, it's also a free Masonic structure. And it is for a very important reason. 474 00:51:45,720 --> 00:51:51,560 This particular construct is a free Masonic construct. It's supposed to be the sacred city of 475 00:51:51,640 --> 00:52:00,680 Jerusalem hyperfatically, which is used in the 33rd degree rituals of Scottish right free 476 00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:08,040 mainstream, as practiced in the United States. The most sacred shape in this form of free 477 00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:15,240 mainstream is the triangle, which is there. And that represents the 33rd degree of free 478 00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:22,680 mainstream. It's set within a Pentagon, which is the 32nd degree of free mastery. 479 00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:29,640 This deals, this particular degree of free Masonic theory deals with a guy who is left in church 480 00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:37,080 all night. He's going to become a knight. He won't leave the church. If he does, people will call him a coward. 481 00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:43,080 He's named his Constance. Everybody goes away. Three or four people come and they're trying to 482 00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:48,120 persuade him to leave. He refuses to leave. But then he has a sounds of buckler outside. 483 00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:52,120 In the end he can't contain himself. He knows that his friends are being killed, that women 484 00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:58,760 are being violated, children are being killed. He dashes out. Income the previous people. They find 485 00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:03,560 he's missing. They're cheering because they've scored a great victory. And they're talking about 486 00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:09,560 this warrior who saved the day for them, but Constance has disappeared. So they start calling him a coward. 487 00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:15,400 Income to more men carrying a stretcher on the stretcher is the body of Constance, 488 00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:21,240 who's died in the battle. It is now suggested that Constance is the bravest of the brave, 489 00:53:21,240 --> 00:53:28,200 because despite his own need to look after himself and his own, he gave himself two of the people. 490 00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:35,720 Okay? What was happening in 1941? The United States was being dragged into a war. It did not want to enter. 491 00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:43,800 Roosevelt was quite clear that they would have to fight. But a lot of the people in America 492 00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:50,280 didn't want anything to do with a world war at that time. But the verification in Roosevelt's 493 00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:56,600 mind, in the mind of all high ranking freemasins, was this. You cannot stay at home. You cannot do 494 00:53:56,600 --> 00:54:04,200 what you want to do when the rest of the world is in danger. So what do you do? You build the Pentagon 495 00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:09,960 that five sided. That makes the 30 second degree of free ministry. What does that create? It creates 496 00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:16,920 that triangle I showed you. That's the 30th degree of Scottish right free ministry. It's his 497 00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:23,480 the most extraordinary, imaginable. How an earth has anybody? Free-mason art, anybody else 498 00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:32,040 managed to maintain a knowledge of megalithic geometry across so many thousand years against all the 499 00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:37,720 arms. It hasn't surfaced as far as we can tell anywhere else except on that one occasion in 500 00:54:37,720 --> 00:54:43,960 Bath. Well, do you have a question? Why is that arrow pointing to the centre of the ellipse? 501 00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:48,760 Don't have much time to tell you. But what I can tell you is this. When the ellipse was laid out 502 00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:59,560 in 1880, it was laid out by the American engineers just after the second, sorry, just after the 503 00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:06,680 American Civil War. But Casey, who was the guy who was in charge of them, wrote to Congress and 504 00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:10,600 he said, I've laid out the ellipse but I can't do anything with the centre because somebody's digging 505 00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:16,120 a great whole there. So we don't know who was digging the hell. We can't find any information about it, 506 00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:22,200 except that we know it was done. We suspect that something really important, something to do with 507 00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:28,680 free-masonry, but also something to do with the world, is buried in a chambered vault underneath 508 00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:34,760 the centre of the ellipse. This would be absolutely in-card and in a card with Scottish right 509 00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:43,560 free-masonry. What that is is open to conjecture. But America did what it must do and it used a 510 00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:52,520 very ancient method to do it. It came in and it rescued the world and I don't think that any more 511 00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:58,680 honorable act could have been expected whether anyone was free-mason, Christian, Muslim or whatever. 512 00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:03,960 Nor do I think that those people who labored so long and hard to build the very 513 00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:09,640 megalithic monuments that we are here to talk about today, could have epitomised more 514 00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:16,920 the genius that they showed us and that we're still using today. Thank you very much.
