I have posted the following comment on the <a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/12/wow-greg-gutfeld-exposes-why-tucker-carlsons-was/#comment-6338579345">Gateway Pundit</a> site:<br></br>
<strong>I will only say here, now, that the horrible mess the Abrahamic religions (Jews, Christians, and the abysmal Islamists) have made of their disparate inheritances, is once again leading to World War...<br></br>
Let me help you: "Abraham" is just the reading of "Hammurabi" (of "The Code of Hammurabi" fame) from right to left, instead of left to right (with both readings recognizing the ancient language structure as syllabic, rather than alphabetic...the invention of the vowels was a late one, and confused the world). I suggest that Islam is the stepchild of Hammurabi's Code, with its "an eye for an eye" (which the Christian Jesus specifically denied -- Matthew 5:38-39 -- adding "turn the other cheek" to make it plain), while Christianity is the offspring of an ancient Enlightenment (as opposed to that of the 18th century AD) -- the original and eternal Wisdom Tradition -- of the Greek and Roman mythologies -- yes, mythologies, the real, distant precursors of world religions, as well as the "empires" themselves, as we study them. And in that context, here's another distant truth, from the "Beginning": All the world's mythologies were originally the same, or described the same real elements and relationships, in metaphor. I know...I found the Great Design as it was originally made.<br></br>
You have been warned. You need to know the origin, in a single, objective world event, of the stories known today as ancient myth, in order to heal the world from its later ancient division(s). And the "modern" religions need to remember how they started, and relinquish their many various false dogmas, with which they are encrusted, some more than others but all in need of enlightened excision.</strong>

<strong>UPDATE: July 2, 2022 -- The "Design Behind the Ancient Mysteries" article referenced in the post below, is now to be found in four parts, with Part 1 <a href="https://theendofthemystery.blogspot.com/2021/04/re-presenting-old-articles-design.html">here</a>. Part 4 is in the bottom half of this post.</strong><br></br>
[I recommend you read the earlier posts first, particularly "Challenge to Earth Scientists" and "Challenge to Science II".]<br></br>
On my lulu.com site, I offer my books for sale, as well as articles and images. Many of the articles are free downloads, among them <a href="https://theendofthemystery.blogspot.com/2021/04/re-presenting-old-articles-design.html"><strong><em>"The Design Behind the Ancient Mysteries"</em></strong></a>, originally written in 2005. I recently updated this article with further amazing proof before sending it, along with a cover letter informing of the endemic crisis of competence in modern science, to then President-elect Obama immediately after the election last November. (After four months, I received a generic postcard thanking me for writing in. Like most people, the President and his team don't seem to be able to focus upon entirely unexpected and revolutionary scientific findings of facts that invalidate the most hotly defended of modern theories.) I have just noticed that someone has gotten hold of the web page containing the <a href="https://theendofthemystery.blogspot.com/2021/04/re-presenting-old-articles-design.html"><strong><em>Design Behind</em></strong></a> article, so that the file comes up (in about 25th place) in a Google search on my full name. I thank that person, or Google, for it enables me to link to the article here (click on its title above). Here is the text of the letter I sent to President Obama:<br></br>
<strong>President-Elect Barack Obama
713 Hart Senate Office Building
Washington, D.C. 20510<br></br>
Dear Mr. Obama:<br></br>
I write to inform you that the need for change is wider and deeper than anyone realizes. Incompetence is not limited to our recent financial and political institutions; it is a disease spread as well throughout our intellectual institutions. Science in particular is in an unrecognized crisis: It is unheeding of new evidence that definitively demonstrates--proves, to any reasonable mind--deliberate design of our world. It is instead dogmatically defending theories that ignore (and even actively deny) easily observed facts that clearly indicate world-encompassing design. Recognition of a newly discovered and verified world design is the key to the self-correction and continued progress of science--the key to the next paradigm.<br></br>
I am a 60-year-old independent research physical scientist and author, who has found and scientifically verified a design of our world which was the original motivation for all the popular “ancient mysteries”: the constellation forms; myths and legends; sacred traditions, images and words; and megalithic monuments of precise construction and astronomical alignments. In 1997, I found the single key to all these expressions of ancient religiously-held beliefs, in a rigorous scientific design imposed—millennia before the beginning of known history--upon the terrestrial and celestial spheres. After several years of uncovering and verifying the extent and meaning of that design, I wrote a book, “The End of the Mystery”. I have spent the last 5 years, with few resources and without success, trying to gain recognition for this epochal discovery, which brings together our modern understanding of the Earth and the fantastic testimonies of ancient people worldwide, and reveals the single world-embracing truth behind the latter. The most well-known myths told about the time of the “gods” refer directly--but generally metaphorically--to the great design, specifically to the precise images wrought upon the Earth and celestial spheres in the design. Unfortunately, just at the time I have tried to come forward with this new truth—which will require rethinking the most hotly defended of modern theories in the earth and life sciences—science has emotionally embraced its own dogma, against the possibility of design in or of the natural world. I need help now, to support myself and to develop the means to educate the world to this new knowledge.<br></br>
I enclose an article, “The Design Behind the Ancient Mysteries,” introducing my work and epochal findings, and commend it for your consideration.<br></br>
Sincerely yours,
Harry Dale Huffman</strong><br></br>
So that's one more authority who has been informed of the scientific verification of the world design of the "gods"--just as you who are reading this are being informed, and yes, I consider this knowledge a test for mankind, which so far no one has passed, whether through my poor efforts to communicate it or others' resistance to imbibing it.<br></br>
And here is the update I appended to the article I sent the President (you should read the <a href="https://theendofthemystery.blogspot.com/2021/04/re-presenting-old-articles-design.html
"><strong><em>article</em></strong></a> first, which has illustrations and other explanations referred to in this update):<br></br>
<strong>UPDATE: This is Part 4 of "Design Behind the Ancient Mysteries"<br></br>
The <a href="https://theendofthemystery.blogspot.com/2021/04/re-presenting-old-articles-design.html"><strong><em>above identification</em></strong></a> of the former ecliptic axis was further confirmed in 2004, when the author discovered references to an "early heaven" in Chinese myth. In <em>The End of the Mystery</em>, I had found that during the earlier ecliptic orientation, the world was divided between worship of the north and south ecliptic poles as the true representative of the "highest," and I had identified the worship of the former ecliptic south pole, or ESP, as characterizing those peoples who worshipped the Goddess, who preceded the later patriarchal gods (led by Zeus in the Greek canon, for example). Here is an illustration (Figure 15) of the former ESP and the precession circle around it:<br></br>
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_99K-sArn07w/ShQZEemDoSI/AAAAAAAAACI/GGNY1HMYyG4/s1600-h/former+esp.GIF"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 323px; height: 340px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_99K-sArn07w/ShQZEemDoSI/AAAAAAAAACI/GGNY1HMYyG4/s400/former+esp.GIF" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337919023063736610" /></a>
The center of that former "heaven" was in the constellation Pegasus, and its position is precisely known from the mappings <a href="https://theendofthemystery.blogspot.com/2021/04/re-presenting-design-behind-ancient_30.html"><strong><em>shown in Figure 14</em></strong></a>.<br></br>
The center of the Chinese "early heaven" was depicted on an ancient instrument known as a "shipan" or cosmograph (see <a href="http://www.fengshuigate.com/cosmology.html">fengshuigate.com</a>, the site of Dr. Stephen Field of Trinity University, Texas). It is illustrated in Figure 16:<br></br>
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_99K-sArn07w/ShQZ3k8DT4I/AAAAAAAAACQ/e6DkB17ta6A/s1600-h/earlyheaven.GIF"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 322px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_99K-sArn07w/ShQZ3k8DT4I/AAAAAAAAACQ/e6DkB17ta6A/s400/earlyheaven.GIF" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337919900939931522" /></a><br></br>
Dr. Field wrote about the shipan: "In ancient Chinese myth there is the tale of a primordial battle.... When the water demon Gong Gong fought with the fire god Zhu Rong, he toppled the northwestern pillar, Mount Buzhou, causing Heaven to fall downward and Earth to tilt upward in the northwest.... It is the ideal world existing before the great flood that is captured by the cosmograph."<br></br>
The form depicted on the Chinese shipan is known as "Bei Dou" and is generally translated as "north star." However, it is more correctly translated as "north land" or "north way," with "bei" meaning "north" but "dou" meaning "land" or "way." "Dou" is just a variant of "ta", "tao" or "dao", meaning "way," <a href="http://books.lulu.de/items/volume_6/184000/184129/1/print/jbisarticle.pdf"><strong><em>as previously discussed</em></strong></a>; it is also used for a "land" in Chinese, with, for example, "peninsula" in the Chinese being "ban dou" (pronounced "ban dow"), and "island" being "dou iw" ("dow yu", approximately). In <em>The End of the Mystery</em>, I discussed a sacred "island" in Egyptian myth known as "iw titi", which Egyptologists translate as "island of trampling." All of these terms are mutually consistent, and all refer to the precession circle around the ecliptic pole, either in the "early" or "former" heaven, or afterward, around the current ENP. Currently, "Bei Dou" is identified as the Big Dipper, which I have included in Figure 16 for comparison; but its shape is too shallow a bowl, while the bowl form of Pegasus is almost exact. This is particularly true when the comparison with "Bei Dou" is done with the form of Pegasus c. 17,000 years ago, which I identified in <em>The End of the Mystery</em> as the time when the "heaven" or ecliptic axis changed. Figure 17 shows this comparison, using the known proper motions of the Pegasus stars to find its shape c. 17,000 years ago:<br></br>
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_99K-sArn07w/ShQbNzD5KgI/AAAAAAAAACY/4DgDMZSatzo/s1600-h/bei+dou+pegasus.GIF"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 344px; height: 206px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_99K-sArn07w/ShQbNzD5KgI/AAAAAAAAACY/4DgDMZSatzo/s400/bei+dou+pegasus.GIF" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337921382199667202" /></a><br></br>
The two shapes are almost exactly the same. Furthermore, and most important, the Big Dipper was never the site of the ENP -- or even the celestial north pole, as modern scholars mistakenly believe -- and thus could never have been worshipped as the "center of heaven," while <a href="http://phoenixandturtle.net/excerptmill/SantAppx.htm"><em>Hamlet's Mill, Appendix 39, pp. 434-5</em></a>, with illustrations <a href="http://phoenixandturtle.net/images/pegasus.jpg"><strong>[1]</strong></a>, <a href="http://phoenixandturtle.net/images/denderpeg.jpg"><strong>[2]</strong></a>, <a href="http://phoenixandturtle.net/images/calabash.jpg"><strong>[3]</strong></a>, and <a href="http://phoenixandturtle.net/images/piscComp.jpg"><strong>[4]</strong></a>, provides a good deal of other, independent ancient evidence that the Pegasus-square was indeed once pictured as that heavenly center, or paradise -- without, however, understanding the true meaning of it shown here. Combined with the concatenation of word meanings ("dou" = "way"/"land" = the precession circle, in all major ancient traditions), we see that identifying "Bei Dou" with Pegasus not only confirms the existence of the former ecliptic axis, it confirms the precise location of that axis as found from the mappings in <a href="http://books.lulu.de/items/volume_6/184000/184129/1/print/jbisarticle.pdf"><strong>Figure 14</em></strong></a>, as the near side of the "bowl" form of both Pegasus and "Bei Dou" points to the same stellar location (the red lines in Figure 16) in both cases. This is an amazing confirmation of the entire synthesis of the physical meaning of the design, including the precise validity of the several mappings of "heaven" to earth involved and the precise identification of the former ecliptic orientation-- which means not only the Earth's orbit, but the orientation of the entire solar system, was changed, as discussed in <em>The End of the Mystery</em>.<br></br>

I would like to write a few words about the spiritual aspects of my discovery of the "Great Design of the 'gods'", which is to say, "Why, as a hard scientist, who performed my research into the Ancient Mysteries utilizing only objective evidence (albeit a whole world of such), nevertheless am open about the existence and overarching meaningfulness -- the almost but not quite hidden guidance, in short -- of a spiritual reality that encloses our own physical existence, and from which we obviously come and will return.<br></br>
This is a hard lesson to teach, because there is so much evidence that could be brought to bear, for which however there is hardly space or time to provide here, in a short article. Let's start at the beginning: I had a number of dreams, before I ever consciously began this unprecedented research, that were, to put it succinctly, open windows into a new mental landscape, whose meaning I of course had no way of knowing at the time, but which might be called road signs to the larger reality that encloses our own.<br></br>
I can only disclose a few, almost disjointed images from these dreams, that I could appreciate only after making my discovery of the Great Design:<br></br>
First, I remember being amazed at "seeing", in dream, planets or moons as if from nearby outer space. The best way to describe these images was, they were real, yet totally unlooked for in my mind; I had never consciously imagined seeing anything like these "dead moons", in such glorious close-up. THEY INTRUDED UPON MY MIND FROM OUTSIDE OF ANYTHING I HAD SEEN IN OUR OWN WORLD, and quite unexpectedly. It was, in short, an obvious mental visitation, presented without any explanation or rationalization. It could only mean, in the most general of terms, "Something is Up, in this." It was the merest hint, of something amazing, and outside of my imaginings.<br></br>
At another time, I found myself standing, again in dream, out in the open, in front of a small house, in the midst of what I quickly realized was a veritable cataclysm of huge tornados, all around me. All utterly real, note. Ordinarily, I would interpret this as a nightmare, for they were all VERY close and towering over me as they twisted violently. Yet it was quickly apparent this was NOT a nightmare, in which one feels lost or trapped by overwhelming evil. Instead, I was calm in my dream, and stunned by being so. I did try to understand the violent, overwhelming scene, just a little, by counting the large number of these towering twisters, seeming so real yet so SAFE. There were 12 of them, and finding such a significant number made it immediately clear that this was another visitation, encompassing as yet some hidden meaning, of great importance. The obvious meaning was that I should be assured, in the midst of the most overwhelming seeming of supposedly governing forces, that I was where I "ought" to be, and was safe.<br></br>
And there was a third dream, the strangest of all, sometime later, but long before I ever conceived of my research into the ancient mysteries. I found myself once again in outer space, and apparently in a ship...and so, yet again SAFE. Yet "we" onboard were following a trail, of glowing lines, and again, amazingly REAL yet obviously impossible (or so I thought at the time). The lines were a vivid red color, even a "living", vibrant color, which seemed to emphasize their non-reality; yet that non-reality was quickly belied, when I found I could STEP OUT and ONTO one of these lines (I don't know why, simply to try to study them more closely, apparently). I somehow felt entirely safe, stepping out into empty space onto a mere glowing line; it was ludicrous, to my own sense of reason, yet the only thing I could think of to do under the circumstances of the dream, to study the phenomenon.<br></br>
I woke up (of course), and could only take this as just another assurance, of "something more" and something of specific, yet still utterly hidden, meaning and importance.<br></br>
Here's the kicker to that dream: In the course of my later research, I developed an interactive computer program (URMAP), which overlaid an image of the Earth globe with an image of the celestial sphere, as if the latter were poised above the Earth, and both being looked down upon from above. And the constellation lines I made RED, to make them vivid; I even put an image, of those red lines above the Earth sphere, on the cover of my eventual book, "The End of the Mystery". And it was still a long time after the publication of my book, that I remembered those red lines in space I had seen, and ridden, in that dream. Throughout my research, and the publication of my book, I had nver once thought about that dream (because, it now seems obvious to me, I performed my research, including that computer program to illustrate the design I had found, as an OBJECTIVE SCIENTIST only, and was thereby cut off from thinking about a subjective dream, no matter how astonishing it had been).<br></br>
Also, I had put a lot of work into that program, involving tracing the continents on the Earth globe with thousands of points, and utilizing the most precise positions of the stars on the celestial sphere, and thus the precise positions of those red constellation lines. So, long after I had done all that work, I suddenly realized the meaning of my STEPPING OUT, even in outer space, onto one of those lines: It encapsulated my complete mastery of those lines, indeed my detailed CREATION of those lines in my URMAP program. Of course I could, as their creator, "step out onto them", anywhere I pleased.<br></br>
Now, there is much more to this idea, of "guidance from outside, and above". To be honest, however, I have already included that much more in my book, "The End of the Mystery", and I feel I should not step on its by-the-way presentation of the greater reality. I wouldn't be at all surprised if some, of the few, readers of that book were put off by that inclusion of "spiritual" reality, never realizing just how important that greater reality is, and specifically in the context of the Great Design I was dealing with.<br></br>
I am trying to lead, as I was led. And every bit of what I present is utter, objective fact, in our own lesser, physical reality. Always remember, I am a hard scientist, only determined (now, more than ever) to recognize every aspect of reality, even the greater.<br></br>

<strong>I wrote two months ago that I would write a short post once a month for a while, to show that my science blog is still active, in the face of the tyrannical and insane forces now intent upon establishing their mass corruption, falsely, as a legitimate (and competent) government and a legitimate social construct of "mainstream media", and dogmatic and merely hateful internet commenters, by vicious suppression of all views contrary to their own.</strong><br></br>
<strong>This blog is about a TRUE "new world order", in the vein of Copernicus's and Galileo's, not the illegitimate and hence unavoidably, continuously, criminal one we are faced with now, throughout our society, our civilization. Our "leaders" are insane, to think they can get away with it. And all of their followers who are content to think the world is proceeding reasonably, are aiding and abetting the entrenched (yet jealous and all-fearful) criminals throughout the political system.</strong><br></br>
<strong>A criminal mob and insane cult is in control, and seeking to characterize any who oppose them as the real criminals. But the more they suppress, in order to make themselves feel assured of their right to rule, the more they merely add to their criminality, and to their insane, hysterical view...of everything, increasingly.</strong><br></br>
<strong>Yet this monumental upheaval of our hard-earned civilization is not even the real battleground, in the long run, for the eternal truth about man and his world. The real battleground is what my scientific breakthrough, of recognition of the "Great Design of the 'gods' " -- of the world's true origin, especially the divisions of mankind that are now erupting anew, like long-dormant volcanoes -- is all about. </strong><br></br>
<strong>In the posts presented here, over the last 12 years, I have proven that Great Design, and shown how that origin instantly humbles the most dogmatically believed and hotly defended theories of today, founded as they all are upon a basically meaningless general paradigm for scientific study, of uniformitarian yet "evolutionary" supposed processes, all of which are incompetent beliefs masqueraded as bedrock true science (just as, in the "political sphere" -- which is actually, increasingly merely criminal -- the corrupt political "elite" masquerade as honest brokers, and forceful guides, for our general welfare).</strong><br></br>
<strong>What is happening now, as a culmination of too-long nurturing of a variety of false dogmas, some for millennia, some for only the last few generations of men, is just the expected reactions of the insane to meeting a reality they simply cannot abide, and must try to destroy. An illegitimate "leader" can only be a tyrant, trying to stomp out the fires of his own insanity. Insanity, and its attendant avoidance behavior, is ascendant now, on the part of both "leaders" and their suborned, misled followers...and they all believe they are doing well, not destructively, entirely oblivious to all the evidence to the contrary.</strong><br></br>
<strong>It is time for a new dispassion in our views, of virus attacks, climate hysteria, and above all in our now-deposed yet arrogantly oblivious sciences and religions. Our present "leaders" lyingly push fear after fear upon us, while true leaders of the past said, "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself".</strong><br></br>

"The dodecahedron was, to these ancient mathematicians, the most mysterious of the solids; it was by far the most difficult to construct, the accurate drawing of the regular pentagon necessitating a rather elaborate application of Pythagoras' great theorem. Hence the conclusion, as Plato put it, that 'this (the regular dodecahedron) the Deity employed in tracing the plan of the Universe.' (H. Stanley Redgrove, in Bygone Beliefs.)"<br></br>
from "The Life and Philosophy of Pythagoras", in "The Secret Teachings of All Ages" by Manly P. Hall<br></br>
Yet Johannes Kepler (in "The Epitome of Copernican Astronomy", Book IV, c. 1621) understood that the dodecahedron could be constructed from the cube, by the addition of what he called a "prism" -- and which I call a "roof", or rooflike structure -- to each of the cube's 6 sides.<br></br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lNUVIvd_Rg8/YZAZHn3l33I/AAAAAAAAAXU/2nX44j9L_lYss8PDiYht57ldwgt7VkMdQCLcBGAsYHQ/s615/kepler%2Bon%2Bprisms%2Broofing%2Bthe%2Bcube.tif" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" height="320" data-original-height="615" data-original-width="560" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lNUVIvd_Rg8/YZAZHn3l33I/AAAAAAAAAXU/2nX44j9L_lYss8PDiYht57ldwgt7VkMdQCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/kepler%2Bon%2Bprisms%2Broofing%2Bthe%2Bcube.tif"/></a></div>
I was so taken with Kepler's brief mention of those "prisms" -- which I thought suggested their construction might be done rather easily after all -- that I supposed he must have gotten it from long before; and the most obvious place he could have gotten it was from Euclid, the great expositor of geometry at the beginning of modern mathematical thought.<br></br>
And so it was (!), when I looked into Euclid's "Elements" (c. 300 BC). (By the way, the history of my discovery of the Great Design of the "gods" is replete with the quick discovery of such connections with the ancient world, and answers to ancient mysteries throughout history, which I have likened to finding one gold nugget after another, scattered everywhere, in a previously unknown valley of gold, of worldwide extent.)<br></br>
I honored that feeling of discovery, in this case via Kepler and Euclid, by including a simplified version of Euclid's demonstration (cf. Proposition 17, Book XIII), of precisely constructing the dodecahedron from the cube, in an appendix to my book, "The End of the Mystery". It goes as follows, quickly:<br></br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-u_yS665t2nA/YZAZuoA6G-I/AAAAAAAAAXc/MITt3VxHtSwVJbQjeqSKih2uzCAqbXkwwCLcBGAsYHQ/s436/figappdp1.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="320" data-original-height="222" data-original-width="436" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-u_yS665t2nA/YZAZuoA6G-I/AAAAAAAAAXc/MITt3VxHtSwVJbQjeqSKih2uzCAqbXkwwCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/figappdp1.jpg"/></a></div>
Begin with a cube, and make its edges 2 units long. Then on the upper square face of the cube, draw two lines dividing the face into four equal squares of 1 unit side length. On one of these lines, on both the left and right halves (each of 1 unit length), find the golden section (φ) of the unit lines, and construct lines of length φ (= .6180339887... = .618...) as upright poles. ***<br></br>
These are the ridge poles of the roof structure we are making on this face of the cube. Then add the ridge line between their tops, and add four lines from each ridge pole to the corners of the cube's face (like pegging down a tent...so the "roof" is also a "tent", in construction)<br></br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ERqCeo07pzI/YZAaL1bocUI/AAAAAAAAAXk/svp4yKbWizsbBgATkIIzwmPNfNrqA5OZACLcBGAsYHQ/s532/figappdp2.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="320" data-original-height="139" data-original-width="532" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ERqCeo07pzI/YZAaL1bocUI/AAAAAAAAAXk/svp4yKbWizsbBgATkIIzwmPNfNrqA5OZACLcBGAsYHQ/s320/figappdp2.jpg"/></a></div>
Now it is just a matter of repeating this simple process for each face of the cube, to make a full dodecahedron out of the cube.<br></br>
***To find the golden section of a line is also elementary, Watson:<br></br>

Google has announced its intention, starting next month, to punish all those under its sway who criticize the patently ridiculous, consensus climate "science", and the "consensus" of covid19 vaccination "mandates". Of course, we (I) who deny the validity of the "consensus" have seen this coming for years, ever since Obama was made President in 2008, and especially after the overthrowing of the actual President, Donald Trump, following continual baseless attacks upon him throughout his presidential term, as a result of which there is no legitimate government in America and the West now, and those international players who profit from this, like Google, are likewise illegitimate in attempting to shut down, not only public debate in a free society, but scientific debate, which is not "public" debate at all, but informing of critical facts that disprove current "scientific consensus".<br></br>
I have also received 2 emails from Google in the last week, concerning "changes" coming to their Adsense policies on ads (and it should be emphasized, THEY place those ads; I have ignored, and early-on discouraged, those ads on my science-only blog from its beginning in 2009). I have therefore been very much aware that this blog, "owned" by Google through its "blogspot.com" arm, rests upon a very thin foundation, to wit, that which is allowed by Google. I had no financial resources to create my own web site, in 2009; and frankly, I don't know what I will do if this blog is shut down, for daring to inform of the quite general and fundamental degeneracy, of scientific (academic) consensus and the "allowed" public discourse.<br></br>
It is my intent, then, to post a short notice each month, to enable my readers to know I am still "here". Of course, if the entire blog disappears, you will know what happened anyway. I should of course look into establishing an independent scientific existence on the Internet; but as before, I do not have what one would call "entirely ample" resources.<br></br>

I have submitted the following short comment to the <a href="https://tallbloke.wordpress.com/2021/09/06/ned-nikolov-demystifying-the-atmospheric-greenhouse-effect/comment-page-1/#comment-171833">tallbloke site</a>, in response to yet another internet post of alternative theory that ignores my definitive corrections to the ridiculous consensus theories of "global warming" (there is none, only a noisy and fraudulently adjusted "global temperature" record):<br></br>
<strong>Too involved, and comes at the truth (of the temperature-governing lapse rate structure, due to the weight of the atmosphere itself), that I have already explained, and demonstrated clearly with my Venus/Earth atmospheric temperatures comparison, through a maze of bad thinking ("adiabatic" is unnecessary and meaningless, compared to the utterly simple physics of the Standard Atmosphere model; and there simply is no "radiation forcing" affecting atmospheric temperatures).</strong><br></br>
<strong>Nikolov still hangs onto the terms used in the entirely false consensus "climate science"...and you are lemmings to follow. I am the one who insists that the underlying, unchanging structure of tropospheric temperatures (the "lapse rate") are maintained by CONDUCTION, not either radiation or convection, because it is just the innumerable jostlings of air molecules, in the hydrostatic condition of the lower atmosphere, that distributes, unwaveringly and precisely, both the pressure and thence the temperature (due, yes, to the "gas laws", which you managed to get in there, without properly emphasizing how simple is "incident solar radiation + hydrostatic atmosphere + gas laws = atmospheric temperatures", with the surface of the Earth only a base for the weighty atmosphere).</strong><br></br>
<strong>So there is no "adiabatic lapse rate", and only the conduction, throughout the troposphere, of incident solar energy, directly absorbed by the massive, hydrostatic atmosphere. All my discoveries, and all from the definitive Venus/Earth comparison, which is universally ignored, yet which precisely confirms the Standard Atmosphere.</strong><br></br>

I am seeing, on the internet, many ads for a new version of the old children's tale of "Little Black Sambo", with the boy hero of the tale now called "Rajani", and the tale itself titled "The Boy and the Tigers". There is so much wrong with this, I think I should inform readers of the truth -- the ancient truth, from long before the "known" beginnings of human history -- of the name "Sambo".<br></br>
I started to write a longish post, about the many things wrong with assuming "Little Black Sambo" to be somehow racist, and the name "Sambo" particularly. A typing accident stopped that, and I don't want to get into the plethora of intellectual insanities that are now being dredged up (vengefully) by angry believers in the dogmas about "race", too long nurtured over the last 50+ years (AFTER the battle for "civil rights" had already been won, nobody wants to notice).<br></br>
I will just give the definitive knowledge, that could defuse much current social insanity, and let that knowledge speak for itself.<br></br>
Anyone who read "Little Black Sambo" as a child did NOT consider it "racist" (any more than "Rajani" is racist against Indians, or Hindis). It is merely, in modern times, a charming "magical" story, that can be summarized in one sentence: The little boy escapes the tiger by running in a circle around a tree, until the tiger pursuing him is literally turned into "golden butter". That's all there is to it -- and it is a lot, as a snapshot of ancient sacred knowledge, handed down by all cultures in earliest "myths".<br></br>
Now, I provided a comprehensive (but not complete) list recently, of ancient mysteries explained by the "Great Design of the 'gods'". It was, in fact, my very last post before this one. It is <a href="https://theendofthemystery.blogspot.com/2021/05/ancient-world-myths-explained-by-great.html">here</a>. Consider it inserted here; I invite you to read it before continuing here, as I am going to give the rest of this post rather short shrift, rather than repost that list.<br></br>
In the great design, the entire solar system was re-built, as it were, and reoriented in space. The Earth was set up like a leaning, spinning toy top, with its spin axis precessing around its orbital axis, thus constraining the celestial north pole (CNP), as seen by earthbound humans, to circle the (new, "improved") ecliptic north pole (ENP), over a period of 25,900 years.<br></br>
That circling, over such a long period, is of course imperceptible to man; yet it was the key piece of sacred knowledge to every earliest-known civilization on Earth, no matter how "primitive"; it was simply disguised (and hence completely misunderstood) as "sacred" myth, handed down to man from the "mythical" gods, "in the beginning".<br></br>
That circle was given the name of "The Mill of the Gods" in many mythical, metaphorical traditions. Let's make this absolutely clear: The Mill of the gods was the circling of the CNP around the ENP; it "ground slowly", because the precession period -- to go once around the circle -- is 25,900 years, and it "ground slowly but exceedingly fine", because the Earth spins on its axis once every day.<br></br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3S_VbvsYLxU/YNHeKp2ISZI/AAAAAAAAAWo/uvJLfzUP8ykTaijN3cqhVmhW7SuYZnMCQCLcBGAsYHQ/s363/fig7p15.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="320" data-original-height="180" data-original-width="363" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3S_VbvsYLxU/YNHeKp2ISZI/AAAAAAAAAWo/uvJLfzUP8ykTaijN3cqhVmhW7SuYZnMCQCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/fig7p15.jpg"/></a></div><br></br>
And everything connected to that hidden circle in the starry sky was described as "golden", basically because the Sun, and the planets, representing the 'gods' themselves, all move, in the sight of man, along the ecliptic (whose axis is specified by the ENP point). And the Sun is golden, "Children of Man" (as the 'gods' would say).<br></br>
In Finland, and in Finnish myth, the Mill was called the "Sampo". In the "Atharva Veda" of India, it was called the "Skambha". The book "Hamlet's Mill" goes into the many ancient world myths about the Mill (although they missed its real, simple meaning); they discuss "Sampo" and Skambha" in Chapter XVII. It was a "prop, support, pillar", as they emphasized. They thought it meant the "pillar" of the Earth's spin axis, represented by the CNP, but they were fundamentally mistaken, as I quite independently (and was the first person in history to identify it) before I ever knew about their book: It is the Earth's ORBITAL axis, the ecliptic axis, represented by the ENP (and circled by the CNP like a millstone circling the central shaft) and everything turns upon that axis, the Sun and planets directly, and the entire celestial sphere over 25,900 years. And the reason this "Mill", or hidden circle in the night sky, was sacred to every earliest "mythical" tradition, worldwide, is because the "pillar" was literally placed there by the world-transforming deeds of the 'gods'. It is the very center of the great design, of both the entire surface of the Earth, and the entire solar system. It was literally all "built", by the 'gods'; that's why the area within the precession circle was described as a "garden", because the ENP, and the circle of the CNP, was not placed just there by chance (see <a href="https://theendofthemystery.blogspot.com/2021/04/vanishing-probability-present-ecliptic.html">here</a>).<br></br>
This is why religion, and coercive religious yet divided dogmas, have been at the heart of mankind, and the instigator of every human trial and abuse, throughout history. Because mankind was divided, strewn over the Earth as orphaned children, and implanted with only shattered, mythologized memories of a "Golden Age", of an earlier "Eden" for example" (with a "tree", the "pillar", in the center of the "garden", the eternal circle of the CNP around the ENP).<br></br>
Just as the CNP circles the ENP, and the Finnish Mill "Sampo" grinds unstoppably (even when "broken loose" -- by the creation of a new ENP in the design of the 'gods' -- and thrown into the very "depths" of the "ocean", where it "grinds sand"), so little black "Sambo" gets the tiger to circle the "tree", turning it into "golden" butter.<br></br>
So "Sambo" is not a "racist" epithet, even though it was used as such by ignorant, hateful (tribal) whites in the time of slavery of tribal Africans in America. And it should not, indeed cannot, be thrown away by today's well-intentioned but equally ignorant would-be changers of history. It is a clear, indeed stunningly clear, modern link in the chain of myths, stretching from the original design of the 'gods' throughout that history. Like all myths, it is a simple, magical children's story, maintaining the unbroken chain linking us all to the 'gods'. It belongs to the whole world -- not to any "tribe", any "race".<br></br>Harry Dale Huffmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03210275295826050501noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-456970430923597281.post-16614156271217676642021-05-08T11:10:00.019-07:002021-05-08T11:16:36.310-07:00Atlantis At Last<br></br>[The following article has also been published on <a href="http://newsblaze.com/story/20090704165433zzzz.nb/topstory.html">NewsBlaze.com</a>.]<br></br>
The sense that there is a great mystery to life on Earth -- beyond the existential questions of "Who, and what, am I?" -- is a continuing attraction to every generation. The "ancient mysteries" are like a primordial Black Hole, or unplumbable singularity at the beginning of history, which swallows the hypotheses and explanations of modern writers in the thick, swirling dust of millennia and the soul-deadening tyrannies of past empires.<br></br>
As a romantic idea, Atlantis is first and foremost like a bright, twinkling star, a light at the end of that long, long tunnel into the past. There -- the stories that continue to spring from its legend all assure us -- is a kind of eternal life, glimpsed like a miniature diorama etched on the head of a pin, put under a microscope, and seen through a lens: Far, far away in time and space, yet as close as our imagination and will to recreate.<br></br>
Where was Atlantis, really? Or was it only in the minds of ancient Egyptian priests, naive travellers from classical Greece to the Alexandrian shore, and gossipful early philosophers pandering to the appetites of their audiences?<br></br>
I will tell you where was Atlantis, for it was and is real; it had a strong part in the larger history of man, and the origin of the Earth as we know it today.<br></br>
There is an actual image of Atlantis still extant in the world. It was stolen out of Egypt by Roman invaders, the story was told by one Athanasius Kircher, the author of the 17th century book "Mundus Subterraneus" and a highly respected intellect of his time. Here is the picture he presented, of Insula Atlantis, the "island of Atlantis":<br></br>
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_99K-sArn07w/Sk976MUKL1I/AAAAAAAAACg/8VNBiZMcq80/s1600-h/atlantis+kircher.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 337px; height: 228px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_99K-sArn07w/Sk976MUKL1I/AAAAAAAAACg/8VNBiZMcq80/s400/atlantis+kircher.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354634721635217234" /></a>
Now this is an upside-down image -- with north toward the bottom and south toward the top -- showing Insula Atlantis between the landmasses of Africa and Hispania (the Iberian peninsula) on the left, and America on the right. It is midway between these landmasses, in the very center of the "Oceanus Atlanticus", or Atlantic Ocean. Note that the two lesser islands between Atlantis and America are not named on the map.<br></br>
We are used to looking at the globe with north at the top, so let's turn the image "right-side up":<br></br>
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_99K-sArn07w/Sk98QRcTHBI/AAAAAAAAACo/4eE1XQa6xDg/s1600-h/atlantis+upright.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 337px; height: 228px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_99K-sArn07w/Sk98QRcTHBI/AAAAAAAAACo/4eE1XQa6xDg/s400/atlantis+upright.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354635100968655890" /></a>
Now we can readily see the Iberian peninsula -- Spain and Portugal -- above Africa, on the eastern side, and a rather featureless bulge supposedly representing America on the west. Atlantis is certainly not featureless, but has a distinctive shape that holds out the hope that this was once a real land in the Atlantic whose contours were well known. But so far, we can only positively recognize Iberia, and the bulge of Africa to its south, not least because the Strait of Gibraltar that separates the two can be seen in its proper location.<br></br>
Atlantis was said by Plato to have sunk beneath the surface of the ocean, in just one day and night of earthquake and flood; it made the Atlantic an impassable muddy shoal, he reported as if it were a fact in his own time (in the 4th century BC). However, evidence found in America of colonies established there by Egypt and other Mediterranean lands, several centuries earlier (as early as the 9th century BC) -- as reported in the book "America BC" (1975) by anthropologist Barry Fell -- tells us the explorers of these lands were well able to cross the Atlantic nearly 3,000 years ago, just as we can today.<br></br>
Is there any hope of finding a sunken landmass in the Atlantic, with the recognizable shape and size of "Insula Atlantis" on the Kircher map? The answer is no; the floor of the Atlantic has been thoroughly mapped, and this shape does not show up on those maps, dominated by the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, or mid-ocean rift.<br></br>
But Atlantis is not lost forever, after all. There is a land with just the right shape and size to have been the fabled Lost Isle.<br></br>
In discovering and subsequently verifying the Great Design of the "gods", which had involved a wholesale re-formation of the landmasses on the surface of the Earth between 20,000 and 10,000 years ago, I became familiar with the many details of those landmasses, and when I afterwards came across Kircher's map of the Atlantic, with Atlantis in the middle of the ocean, I recognized its shape as one familiar to me.<br></br>
I had, after all, not so long before, picked out the shapes of the continents and other landmasses -- one point at a time, thousands of points altogether-- to develop my own Earth- and sky-mapping software, with which I studied the Great Design and its message stored for mankind, or for whoever might come to Earth to study mankind, and who might find and read it.<br></br>
One of the last large landmasses whose detailed ocean outline I plotted, was Greenland, and the similarity between Greenland and Insula Atlantis is substantial (see the accompanying illustration). To properly compare Greenland with Insula Atlantis, I only had to determine the actual size of Atlantis as seen on the Kircher map. This was easily done by comparing "Hispania" on the Kircher map with the Iberian peninsula on the actual globe; it is then a simple matter to scale Insula Atlantis to its appropriate size on the globe. When this is done, the comparison with Greenland is excellent, in both size and detailed shape.<br></br>
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_99K-sArn07w/Sk98nQdJtYI/AAAAAAAAACw/hwWg5Kf8kk4/s1600-h/atlantis+greenland.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 279px; height: 256px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_99K-sArn07w/Sk98nQdJtYI/AAAAAAAAACw/hwWg5Kf8kk4/s400/atlantis+greenland.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354635495840789890" /></a>
I won't here go into the many strands of evidence I found which positively established Greenland as the Atlantis of ancient legend. I am satisfied here mainly with showing the close comparison of the two, with just a few added points to be made. First, the Insula Atlantis of Kircher's map is wider than Greenland. This is because the eastern portion of Atlantis was broken off, and became Iceland -- to the southeast of Greenland today -- and the islands of the United Kingdom, even further south and east.<br></br>
And, as the accompanying illustration shows clearly, the lesser islands depicted between America and Atlantis on the Kircher map can be readily identified with the Florida peninsula -- before it was attached to America -- and the island of Hispaniola (the Dominican Republic and Haiti). The shoreline of America depicted on the Kircher map is not that of North America today, but from a time before the land east of the Appalachians was fixed onto the continent. Since Atlantis only "disappeared" -- that is, it was moved north to the present position of Greenland, by the designers -- around 9600 BC, this tells us North America was given its present shape, with Florida attached, only after that late date.<br></br>
So the "gods" who re-formed the Earth's landmasses did so at least as late as 9600 BC -- actually, for more than a thousand years after that, as Egypt recorded its institution "by the goddess" as having occurred at about 8600 BC. Evidence for all of this is to be found in my book, <a href="http://www.lulu.com/hdhsciences"><em>"The End of the Mystery."</em></a> The larger scientific community and its followers, in choosing to ignore and dismiss observable design in the world, remain stuck just this side of the discovery of the Great Design of the "gods" -- once, and now again, the single great wonder of the world.<br></br>

If you want to see this new knowledge recognized, and verified by other scientists, tell your teachers, your scientist friends, your local and national radio and TV stations. And read the earlier posts on this blog, especially the April 2009 "Challenge to Science" posts.Harry Dale Huffmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03210275295826050501noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-456970430923597281.post-38913021502007902872021-05-07T12:27:00.027-07:002021-05-08T10:49:22.684-07:00Johannes Kepler: Sleepwalker-Founder of Modern Science<br></br>While I have been focused here lately on incompetence in modern climate science (and in modern science generally), it needs to be emphasized that scholars throughout history have been thoroughly misguided by the ancient knowledge that was handed down among all the peoples of the world as the "sacred truth", first about the "gods" of earliest myth, and later about "God" Himself. (And it was a rare scholar, philosopher, or theologian, who could both start and end with the humble position of admitting that he/she didn't know what "God" really entailed, or why the most ancient peoples worshipped whole families of "gods", with one god understood as being above all the others). The men who founded modern science were steeped in the old "knowledge", and they had to learn how to focus upon hard physical evidence, and master strict mathematics and logic, as their proper guides, over the "sacred wisdom" passed down from times immemorial, in order to show the way for true science. Dogma had to be set aside, but its ages-old attraction was compelling, so they reached out for hard evidence fitfully and far from consistently, like sleepwalkers in an enchanted-like dream-state (the author Arthur Koestler wrote a beautiful book, "The Sleepwalkers", about these earliest scientists, many years ago now).<br></br>
I received a comment (from one "garlo") <a href="http://theendofthemystery.blogspot.com/2010/10/runaway-global-warming-is-scientific.html">here</a>, in which Kepler's more misguided mystical musings, masquerading as science in his mind, were brought up. I realized a proper response required that I make a distinction between my scientific discovery and verification of a real Great Design of the world, and the mystical musings of Kepler and earlier (and even modern) religiously-minded scholars. I hasten to add, the Design IS of fundamental religious, or more correctly spiritual, importance; but the primary truth of it, that above all needs to be grasped, is that it is a hard, objective, scientific fact. The following is that fuller response to "garlo", and to anyone of like mind.<br></br>
The verifiable <a href="http://theendofthemystery.blogspot.com/2009/04/challenge-to-earth-scientists.html">dodecahedral arrangement in the layout of landmasses on the Earth</a> is just one aspect, among many, of the Great Design I found--by the way, I am capitalizing it as a real, unified, and all-encompassing design (not a mere mass of "conjectures", or a formless pile of unconnected and odd observations, as all past researchers have produced, throughout history). The Great Design was responsible for ALL the so-called "ancient mysteries", the latter being just the religious and ritually precise human expressions of the intellectual awe with which the smallest knowledge fragments from the design were passed down among men--as literally the "sacred truth" about the origin of the world and mankind. (But in the present tattered intellectual atmosphere, particularly among academics and those in authority in science, just getting anyone to seriously and professionally consider ANY of the overwhelming mass of evidence, for the Great Design I uncovered, takes on the dimensions of a life's work.)<br></br>
Kepler's belief, that the Earth was somehow made according to the dodecahedron, was nothing new, it goes back to ancient times; indeed, it qualifies as one of the "ancient mysteries", and Kepler picked up on the regular solids as such, and used them, not so much dispassionately, as a scientist, but as a mystical expression of the will of God (he noted their ancient provenance himself, writing, "More than 2,000 years ago Pythagoreans said that these figures [the regular solids] were the figures of the world..."). Kepler's attempt to match them to the planetary orbits was really just his own mathematical elucidation of the original Pythagorean teaching, which every mathematician knew of as the "harmony of the spheres". Kepler called them the regular solids (not platonic solids, because he knew they predated Plato), as we do today.<br></br>
But as I wrote in my book, "The End of the Mystery":<br></br>
"I do not want to take away from those who were already assured of a dodecahedral design of the Earth, including Socrates; but I think I am the first person to reveal its objective foundation, and thus prove it to science, and more importantly, to prove it an integral part of a comprehensive design."<br></br>
In other words, as I said earlier, the dodecahedral pattern in the layout of the continents is just one aspect of the Great Design of the Earth and solar system, by the "gods" who were our real forebears.<br></br>
As just one of uncounted many checks I made as part of my research, I naturally checked Kepler's attempt to match the planetary orbits with the regular solids, and found the fit was not that good, certainly not good enough to warrant his claim that the planetary orbits were a God-designed matching of the relative sizes of the regular solids--particularly since the Great Design I had already found is much more precise than any such planetary fitting. And the real meaning behind the ancient association of Earth with the dodecahedron is not to be found in the sizes of the planetary orbits--it is because (as I have explained in my book, "The End of the Mystery") the Earth is the planet of life in the solar system, and the mathematics of the dodecahedron is tied to the life on Earth, on every level from the smallest physical expression (DNA) to the level of metaphorical spiritual insights in the Pythagorean and other ancient mystery traditions.<br></br>
While Kepler's mystical matching of the regular solids with the planetary orbits was misguided, I did get one important piece of ancient knowledge from him, and later in fine detail in Euclid (Proposition 17, Book XIII): The dodecahedron was anciently, and most simply, known as being built up from the cube, very simply, using the famous "golden section", another key Pythagorean tradition, that goes back to the Great Design itself as a matter of course. I discussed Euclid's lucid construction of the dodecahedron, for the benefit of lay readers, in an appendix in "The End of the Mystery".<br></br>
Kepler's approach to the "harmony of the spheres" was to consider the sizes of the two spheres associated with a regular solid (like the dodecahedron), one inscribed within and the other circumscribing the solid. For each of the five regular solids, Kepler gave the ratio of the radii of the inscribed (Ri) and circumscribing (Ro) spheres. In modern form, those ratios are:<br></br>
cube: Ri/Ro = .57735<br>
tetrahedron: .33333<br>
dodecahedron: .79465<br>
icosahedron: same as for dodecahedron<br>
octahedron: same as for cube<br></br>
You can yourself compare these ratios with the relative sizes of the orbits of the 6 innermost planets (with the mean Earth-Sun distance as the standard unit),<br></br>
Mercury .387, or .4<br>
Venus .723, or .7<br>
Earth 1.000, or 1<br>
Mars 1.524, or 1.5<br>
Jupiter 5.202, or 5.2<br></br>
as many have no doubt done both before and after Kepler, and in vain. The Great Design is otherwise.<br></br>
More empirical-minded scientists later crafted the Titius-Bode "law" for the successive planetary orbits:<br></br>
mean orbital radius = (n + 4)/10, with n = 0, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, etc.,<br></br>
with Earth at the standard distance (1.0, for n = 6), and the asteroid belt, between Mars and Jupiter, being in the right position to represent a former, now-shattered planet (an hypothesis no one has ever proved), but an extra planet, Neptune, where it shouldn't be, if the Titius-Bode formula was actually a law (so it is not a law--any more than current climate models are physical laws, as the incompetent consensus supposes).<br></br>Harry Dale Huffmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03210275295826050501noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-456970430923597281.post-57532170054310046172021-05-03T07:54:00.001-07:002021-05-03T07:54:10.077-07:00Ancient World Myths Explained by the Great Design<br></br>
Back in 2004, in an early effort to gain recognition of my unprecedented discovery of the Great Design of the 'gods', I wrote and physically produced myself a few dozen copies of a booklet titled "Finding the Design of the Gods". I included in it a listing, covering 2 full pages, of ancient myths whose objective origin is definitively established as the image at the center of the Design, on the celestial sphere. That center is of course the precession circle (the circling of the celestial north pole CNP around the ecliptic north pole ENP):<br></br>
<strong>The precession circle and cones covers a whole list of famous myths:</strong><br></br>
<strong>The Garden<br> of Eden</br> of Idun (Norse) <br> of Inanna (Babylon)</br> of the Hesperides (Greece)</strong><br></br>
<strong>Hyperborea (land "beyond the north" in Greek myth = area within precession circle)</strong><br></br>
<strong>The Home of the Gods (with many "peaks", "points", or "mansions" = CNP points)<br> Olympus ("many-peaked; Greece)<br> Lotus ("many-pointed", includes the cone; India, Egypt, Greece)</br> Asgard (Norse)<br> Swarga (India)<br> Duat (from "ju-ta", see below; Egypt) Xian, Celestial Palace (many peaks; China)</br></strong><br></br>
<strong>The Crown of many points (again, CNP points on the circle)</strong><br></br>
<strong>The "Crown" of the "World Tree" (with the ENP as the trunk of the tree)</strong><br></br>
<strong>The Crown of the Tree of Life</strong><br></br>
<strong>The Halo (tilted off the top of the head, also like the king's crown, as the prec. circle is offset from the CNP, by 23.5°)</strong><br></br>
<strong>The swirl in human hair (again, with the center, the "crown", tilted toward the back, offset from the top) NOTE: NOT a myth(!), but a real design ("Know ye not, ye are gods?")</strong><br></br>
<br>which explains</br>
<strong>The Hair of Sif (shorn by Loki, and replaced with gold strands; the celestial longitude lines, from the ENP downwards over the ecliptic sphere, when the former ENP was changed, or "shorn")</strong><br></br>
<strong>The Jewish Yarmulke (same as the halo, and crown, and etc.)</strong><br></br>
<strong>The Lapwing circling her nest (England)</strong><br></br>
<strong>The Roebuck in a thicket (ENP at the center of the circle; England)</strong><br></br>
<strong>The Dog in myth (CNP, "dogged" to the ENP; England, Egypt, India and many others</strong><br></br>
<strong>Ogygia, Aegean, Aegis, Giza ("Jeeza", from "ju-ta", name given the prec. circle)</strong><br></br>
<strong>["ju" was the name for the ENP, and "ju-ta", the circle, was the "ju way", a.k.a. the "way of the tree of life". The "ju" point was the "judgment seat" of the "All-Father". Both "Zeus" and "Jesus" come from "ju-ta", or "ju-za"/"jee-za". The circle around the "ju" point was, in various myths, "Gjöll", "joll", "yol", "pohjola", "jewel", "yule", "yar", etc.]</strong><br></br>
<strong>Santa Claus, Old King Cole, Kris Kringle (alias the All-Father; "kol"/"Claus"/"Kris"/"ring"/"rink" all meant the joll circle -- this is why Santa Claus was "jolly"(!)</strong><br></br>
<strong>Jöllupukki (the Santa Claus figure in Finland)</strong><br></br>
<strong>The "mikku" and "pukku" in the Epic of Gilgamesh (the prec. circle and the ENP as a line breaking through the center of the circle; the female and male sexual organs)</strong><br></br>
<strong>The Yin/Yang symbol, or "Tai Chi" (again, from "ju-ta" as "ta-ju"); note the conjoining of male and female principles; in Egypt the ENP was referred to as "the Member of the Progenitor", and the CNP on the prec. circle, "the Image of the Arm")</strong><br></br>
<strong>The Native American tepee (the precession cones)</strong><br></br>
<strong>The Aleian Plain, an area of earthly toil and strife (Greek myth)</strong><br></br>
<strong>The Cup of the Sun (double-cone of the precession, in many mythical traditions)</strong><br></br>
<strong>The Holy Grail (same as the Cup of the Sun, from "Grial"/Irish "grian" = Sun)</strong><br></br>
<strong>The Fetter of Fenrir (called "Gleipnir" in Norse myth = ecliptic north)</strong><br></br>
<strong>"Iw titi", the island of creation ("Iw" is pronounced "you", and is "ju" again; Egypt)</strong><br></br>
<strong>The Field of Reeds, on the island of creation (Egypt)</strong><br></br>
<strong>The Djed (or "jud") Pillar, at the center of the island of creation; the ENP, Egypt; the prec. circle is its rim</strong><br></br>
<strong>[The multi-level King's Chamber, in the Great Pyramid, represents the djed pillar]</strong><br></br>
<strong>The Fountain of Youth (from "ju-ta" again; like Sif's Hair, the "youth" fountain streams downward in longitudinal lines from the ENP)</strong><br></br>
<strong>Ancient "symbol of wisdom, justice, divine law" (the prec. circle with the 0h/12h line, to the vernal and autumnal equinoxes, attached)</strong><br></br>
<strong>The Gordion Knot (same as the symbol of wisdom and justice)</strong><br></br>
<strong>The Fiery Wheel (in many traditions)</strong><br></br>
<strong>The Mill of the Gods (the CNP circling the ENP; it grinds very slowly, due to the great length of the precession period, but finely, due to the daily spin of the Earth)</strong><br></br>
<strong>The Horn of Plenty (the northern prec. cone, its mouth the prec. circle)</strong><br></br>
<strong>The Neverending Story (of Idun's husband, Braggi, in Norse myth)</strong><br></br>
<strong>Othrys/Odur/Laerad/Valhalla/Niflheim (prec. circle around the former ESP, when the Goddess was worshipped as "highest")</strong><br></br>
<strong>Paradise (meaning an "around-wall"; the prec. circle around the current ENP)</strong><br></br>
<strong>The Lost Paradise (the prec. circle around the former ESP)</strong><br></br>
<strong>The Ring<br> Fairy Ring (around the former ESP)</br> Gold Ring, e.g. Draupnir (Norse) <br> Ring of Fire, e.g. around Brynhilde (Norse); same as the Fiery Wheel</br></strong><br></br>
<strong>The Rock of Ages</strong><br></br>
<strong>The Rock Zeus turned into to escape Asopus (circle around the former ESP)</strong><br></br>
<strong>The Rock Tantalus pushed in Tartarus (circle around the former ESP)</strong><br></br>
<strong>Sleeping Beauty's spinning wheel (the celestial sphere "spinning" around the Earth due to the Earth's spin, and attached to the circle around the former ESP)</strong><br></br>
<strong>Tartarus/Hell (the southern prec. circle, around the ESP)</strong><br></br>
<strong>The Wheel of Fortune/Fate</strong><br></br>
<strong>The Way of all Life on Earth</strong><br></br>
<strong>The Way of Eternity</strong><br></br>
<strong>The Yule Wreath</strong><br></br>
<strong>The Yule Log (the line from ENP to CNP, the single branch of the "Tree of Life")</strong><br></br>
This was originally written in 2004, and even then was not a complete list, which would be practically infinite, or at least uncounted.

This is another re-presentation of a now-gone newsblaze.com article I wrote back in 2009. It has special significance now, with school lockouts and other insanity, well demonstrating the universal crisis of incompetence I have tried to inform about, across all fields, especially science and religion. I wrote the newsblaze articles for a wide, lay audience, note:<br></br>
<strong>If there is any segment of the population that is not worried about making ends meet or being suppressed in its search for sure knowledge, it should be students in school. College in particular is traditionally supposed to offer the freest climate of ideas, subject only to the constraints of unbiased logic. Unfortunately, it isn't so today, in science.
</strong><br></br>
<strong>So students -- and parents of students -- if you want to give your science teachers something to really think about, try the following thoughts. I guarantee they don't know the answer to these strange facts (though most of them will argue glibly that they do):</strong><br></br>
<strong>A design is anything that proclaims it was intentionally made, by appearing or operating in a way that cannot be attributed solely to the undirected physical processes known to science.</strong><br></br>
<strong>1) About the Moon</strong><br></br>
<strong>The Moon, science says today, was blasted off the Earth itself by a random collision with a Mars-sized body, less than a hundred million years after the Earth was formed; that is, the Earth was supposedly formed 4.5 billion years ago, so the Moon was knocked off of it more than 4.4 billion years ago. But that's just a cosmic instant after Earth's own formation. Isn't that strange, teacher -- or rather, isn't that a suspicious scenario: just one clean hit "in the beginning" and just one moon formed from it?</strong><br></br>
<strong>Amazingly, the collision was supposedly just strong enough, but not too strong, so that the Moon-material did not go careening off into deep space, but was caught and held by the Earth's gravitation. Even more amazing, the Mars-sized body that knocked it off the Earth did disappear into the void, never to be heard from again -- that must be why scientists say it was Mars-sized, because Mars is roughly ten times as massive as the Moon, and anything much smaller than Mars should also have been trapped by the Earth's gravitation, since Earth is roughly ten times more massive than Mars and a hundred times more massive than the Moon. But again, this is a suspicious scenario: The collision was not head-on, else the Earth would just have been enlarged, and no Moon would have been blasted off on an orbital trajectory around the Earth. Very tight constraints were operating on this "cosmic accident", then, in the size of the impacting body (smack dab in the middle, between the mass of the Earth and the mass of the Moon), the necessarily grazing hit it made on the Earth (that allowed it to "hit and run", or vanish cleanly from the vicinity), and the energy imparted to the Moon-material that resulted in its orbiting the Earth -- and remember, all this is on top of the suspicious circumstance that there was just this one clean hit on the Earth, very early; we can't blame it on "early chaos" in the solar system, because such chaos should have produced many collisions, and a literal mess of moons about the Earth, for which there is no evidence now whatsoever. Isn't that very strange, teacher?</strong><br></br>
<strong>Because, finally, teacher, the Moon has supposedly been slowly receding from the Earth for the last 4.4 billion years, and is now -- and throughout human history, the last 6,000 years or so -- at just the right distance to have precisely the same apparent size as the Sun in our sky, and thus to totally eclipse the Sun, both precisely and regularly. The probability of this occurring by chance is just 6,000 divided by 4.4 billion, or on the order of one in a million (1.36 in a million to be precise). And this is on top of the above suspicious circumstances of the strangely pristine "cosmic accident" that supposedly created the Moon. Yet science doesn't even hint it could have been anything but chance -- despite the unarguable scientific fact, that chance could not have done it, in many millions of tries. Isn't science just a trifle incompetent in failing to mention all this, or even emphasize it, teacher?</strong><br></br>
<strong>2) About Earth's landmasses</strong><br></br>
<strong>The eastern coasts of the landmasses on the Earth are curiously, even amazingly, distributed around the globe: These coasts, rather surprisingly, can all be approximated by straight lines, or great circles, on the globe (I bet you didn't know that, did you, teacher?), and when one does that, all of those lines are sensibly at the same angle with respect to the equator, and all are uniformly separated from one another around the equator. You can see clear images of these coast-marking lines in my blog post <a href="http://theendofthemystery.blogspot.com/2009/04/challenge-to-earth-scientists.html">"A Challenge to Earth Scientists"</a>. Those lines, in fact, are part of a dodecahedron pattern on the globe (the origin of which you can read more about in my blog and my books on the real past design of the Earth).</strong><br></br>
<strong>I suggest, students, you go to my blog, download those images of the eastern coast lines of the landmasses, print them out and present them, all in a row, to your science teachers (or better, to university physics professors, who will probably laugh hollowly, but who won't be able to deny the fact, or what it means). Tell the teacher that this scientist told you that the probability for chance placement of all these landmasses, according to that strict dodecahedral layout on the globe, is less than one in a million million. Alternatively put, the probability they were deliberately parked according to that layout, as closely as they are, is greater than 0.999999999999. In other words, science must admit they were deliberately parked; they were not moved all over the Earth by undirected "continental drift", due to "plate tectonics", only to end up in so perfect a uniform distribution, just by chance. And that means plate tectonics, as it is taught today, cannot be true, doesn't it, teacher? With clear odds a million million to one against it? Really, now.</strong><br></br>
<strong>3) About Earth's Life</strong><br></br>
<strong>The debate over the possibility of design of the lifeforms on the Earth is a vicious one. No amount of cold reason applied to the actual evidence for design -- not merely suggesting the possibility of design, but positively indicating it, and denying chance -- is going to move anyone right now, much less a teacher who feels entitled to the high ground by virtue of his or her position and the current "scientific authority", or consensus. But, having proved to any unbiased, reasonable person that the Moon was placed where it is deliberately, not by chance, and that the very landmasses were placed where they are deliberately, not by chance, then , teacher, shouldn't science rethink its dismissal of design of the lifeforms on the Earth? After all, the physical context we have now established, for both the Earth and the Moon, is nothing but design. And when you rethink the biological evidence, design is clearly there -- as this scientist established for himself, apart from any debate in the wider world, and has written about it <a href="http://theendofthemystery.blogspot.com/2016/02/on-undirected-evolution-and-other.html">here</a>, for example.</strong><br></br>
<strong>4) About the "Designer(s)"</strong><br></br>
<strong>Man adds his many small designs to the world, and scientists even talk of terraforming the world, and engineering new species, in the future. The world design I found (which included also the Moon, and the entire solar system -- sorry, but that's the naked truth, teacher) was done, according to the most ancient testimonies of man, by the "gods", who "came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men" (with a tip of the hat to "Superman"). We're not talking about science versus religion, or reason versus faith. We're talking about the original teachers, of mankind, and what they did. That is the new paradigm, sir and ma'am. Can we learn about that in class today?</strong><br></br>

This is another re-presentation of a newsblaze.com article I wrote back in 2009, now disappeared after many years. I present it here both to keep it available, and to show how simply old (even ancient) mysteries can be solved. (This and all of my writings are the product of a mind freed, to a large extent, of all the dogmas of history, both ancient and modern. You know: "go thou and do likewise".):<br></br>
<strong>It is time once again for the annual Roswell UFO Festival, July 2-5 [NB: this was originally written in June 2007; I wound up going to it ("go thou...") that year]. This is, in my opinion, the top UFO-related event in the world, because the Roswell incident of 1947 has proven to be definitive in validating the UFO phenomenon.
</strong><br></br>
<strong>Skeptics refuse to accept this, and even believers don't seem to realize just what it is about the Roswell story that proves UFOs are real. The debate just goes on and on, on radio talk shows mostly, although the solution has been right out in the open since the public was first informed, back on July 8, 1947. The continuing performances of dedicated skeptics deriding UFOs is a monstrous fraud upon the public, which the public has been witless enough to let pass, because it has had little incentive and therefore little abiding interest in focusing upon the certain but supremely awkward truth.</strong><br></br>
<strong>The facts that prove the reality of the UFO crash near Roswell are these (and they are deceptively simple, so listen closely): 1) The military itself reported the crash to the world media as genuine, and 2) The day after the initial public release of the story, higher military authority changed that story, claiming that the wreckage recovered was in fact a weather balloon array, mistaken for alien material by the Roswell air field personnel.</strong><br></br>
<strong>Why do these facts prove the UFO? Because both the intelligence officer and commanding officer of the Roswell military post examined the wreckage and confirmed its alien nature. (I won't dwell on the details here. You can best get them on roswellufomuseum.com and other sites dedicated to the event.) These officers, with the added concurrence of the post's information officer, put out to the world the original story that they had retrieved a bonafide UFO of non-man-made materials.</strong><br></br>
<strong>These were the top officers of a wartime bomber group, one of the most serious occupations in the world. (If you haven't been in the military and don't know just how serious it was and is, in and out of war, check out the movie "Twelve O'Clock High", made in 1949 about a wartime bomber group.) They would not begin to think of fooling around with such a story, they would have to have been insane to risk both their own and, even worse, the military's reputations. They were entirely professional and competent. They would not have identified the craft as alien without overwhelming evidence. They were sincere in their identification and honest and quick in sending out the story to the world. These career military officers were never impugned in their character, honesty or on-going competence in their duties.</strong><br></br>
<strong>Military higher-ups did, however, impugn their basic competence to recognize military hardware, when they issued pictures of the intelligence officer, Jesse Marcel, with supposed crash material, in which that material was obviously flimsy tin foil attached to thin wooden sticks -- a childish fake, perpetrated upon an all-too-trusting public more than ready to laugh rather than look closely, in the years following a long and desperate war. The Roswell officers went along with this deception, under orders, but the issuing of this obviously flimsy story in fact proved the reality of the UFO, because it is simply inconceivable that a competent army intelligence officer, of a wartime bomber group (post-World War II, in 1947, but into the Cold War by then), would not see what any teenage model builder could see was faked "crash" material.</strong><br></br>
<strong>No, the Roswell officers knew what they had recovered was real. They reported it so, to the world. The quick effort to portray their identification as premature and in fact embarrassingly wrong, should have shown any competent investigator that their superiors were engaging in a cover-up of the truth. It was such a paper-thin cover-up (literally, given the flimsy "wreckage" brought out) that it counts rather as confirming evidence of the reality of the UFO. Yet the public has let the cover-up slide over them ever since, even after Jesse Marcel finally came forward, in 1978, with the truth as he knew it, better than anyone.</strong><br></br>
<strong>You need to know that many old, ongoing debates really should have been settled long ago, but the solutions have been suppressed through misdirection, and vainglorious impugning of the clear facts, by higher authorities -- in both government and in science -- unwilling to face self-correction, and by a public content with easy dogmas (both ancient and modern) and unwilling to face new truths. This is the defining crisis of our time. See my blog, <a href="http://theendofthemystery.blogspot.com">theendofthemystery</a>, for information about the discovery that overturns much that science pretends to know about our world and its origin.</strong><br></br>

This is a re-presentation of yet another 2009 newsblaze.com article I wrote, now not to be found there anymore:<br></br>
<strong>Let's see, how do I approach this? Everybody knows John Cleese, of Monty Python fame,
right? Well, Monty Python fans, perhaps you will remember this episode, and let other
readers know it really exists, because otherwise many may not believe what they are
about to read:</strong><br></br>
<strong>The scene is a bare military room, with a low table and a very large map of Africa--maybe six feet high--on the wall behind. John Cleese walks in dressed as an army officer of stern bearing, to address the troops in a classroom situation. As he begins to harangue the men, who are off-camera, he stands in front of and just to the side of the map of Africa, and
two things quickly become obvious: First, he is playing a martinet, a very tough taskmaster, of fearsome bearing; and second, just behind him Africa looks like the facial profile of a man of similar fearsome personality. As the skit continues, audience laughter begins and grows, as it becomes ever more obvious that this skit is all about that image of Africa, as a fearsome face. It is such an uncanny resemblance, you can only laugh, because it really is just an accurate map of Africa, and it really looks for all the world like a man's face, in profile, and John Cleese mirrors its fierce personality perfectly.</strong><br></br>
<strong>Now, if any Monty Python fans can tell me how to cite this episode in a serious article or scientific paper, I would greatly appreciate hearing from you, because here is what I really want to tell my readers:</strong><br></br>
<strong>I am a physical scientist and professional researcher. In 1997, I found a design
encompassing both the terrestrial and celestial spheres—that is, in the shapes of the
landmasses on Earth, and the constellation forms on the celestial sphere, or “Heaven” of
the ancients. It was an electric discovery, and it was just the beginning of uncovering
what I came to call the great design of the "gods", and the message it contains for all of us
on the Earth.</strong><br></br>
<strong>I have written a whole book about uncovering the great design, which required a
wholesale re-formation of not only the Earth, but the entire solar system (for the design
includes precise information about a former orientation of the solar system, before it was
changed--information which is precisely saved in ancient texts and very early sacred
images, worldwide).</strong><br></br>
<strong>But how to introduce this to a wide audience, that I believe should know about this
amazing world-encompassing design, imposed upon the Earth millennia before the beginning of known history?</strong><br></br>
<strong>I think I know how, although it's iffy in the present skeptical intellectual climate, and with all the other concerns that besiege most of us, these days. I can begin by showing you clear examples of design on the Earth, and in the solar system beyond, that are so clear
they would long ago have been recognized as such, if design of the world was seriously
considered, by science, rather than casually dismissed as a thinly-veiled religious threat to
“rational” thought. I pointed out one such obvious example of design in my 2009 article,
“The Clockwork Moon Science Ignores” [and re-presented <a href="https://theendofthemystery.blogspot.com/2016/11/the-clockwork-moon-science-ignores.html">here</a> in 2016].</strong><br></br>
<strong>Now, find yourself a good atlas, with an accurate image of Africa. I have included a
simplified one here, showing the outline of Africa, the interior lakes along the Great

the Zambezi river as the "mouth".</strong><br></br>

<strong>This image was one of the first indications I found of a deliberate shaping of the
landmasses on the Earth, in my research. And, while some will tell you that it is just a
subjective illusion to see the face in Africa, I know better, because I remember that Monty
Python skit, which turned on that precise resemblance, and succeeded so well because of
the amazing fact of it.</strong><br></br>
<strong>The landmasses of the Earth exhibit many creature-like shapes, mostly incomplete or
otherwise tantalizingly vague, but many like Africa are quite striking and clear. And they
are almost all upright on the globe of the Earth, with north defined as "up"--and that
means they were not randomly positioned, but deliberately shaped and placed upright.
The landmasses of the Earth were designed, as any child can see--and as mankind was
taught, in its childhood, by the "gods".</strong><br></br>
<strong>The great design is the biggest combination jigsaw puzzle, illustrated story and world-encompassing treasure hunt (which Isaac Newton himself long sought) ever seen--and it's a scientific fact.</strong><br></br>

Part 1 of this former series of newsblaze.com articles, no longer available on the internet, is my 2009 blog post, <a href="http://theendofthemystery.blogspot.com/2009/07/atlantis-at-last.html">"Atlantis At Last"</a>. Below is a re-presentation of the two newsblaze sequels, now remade as one:<br></br>
<strong>In the first article [linked above], I identified the legendary Atlantis as primarily Greenland, but including also the islands of the United Kingdom and Iceland. In this article, I will show detailed matchups between Atlantis and these lands that spectacularly confirm those identifications. This of course causes immediate problems with the best modern geological theories.</strong><br></br>
<strong>The first such problem is with the mid-ocean rift system, whose branches stretch over 40,000 miles around the globe. On maps of the world ocean floor, these "rifts" look like ragged scars, raggedly healed -- but healed, nevertheless, despite modern theory that calls them "spreading ridges". As detailed in my book, "The End of the Mystery" [available in two volumes on amazon.com], the great design of the "gods" identifies them as something else entirely: They are in fact the paths along which a number of the landmasses of the Earth were moved, in order to make the world as it now is. And they were deliberately and masterfully sutured closed, afterwards.</strong><br></br>
<strong>Atlantis, for example, was moved -- along rifts recognized today -- southwest from the Indian Ocean, around the southern tip of Africa, and then northward up the center of the Atlantic Ocean, past North and South America. </strong><br></br>
<strong>This was not done in a day or a year, but over many years: The Athanasius Kircher map of Insula Atlantis, discussed in <a href="http://theendofthemystery.blogspot.com/2009/07/atlantis-at-last.html">"Atlantis At Last"</a>, shows that the Egyptians knew of Atlantis as a fixed land, in the position described by Plato as "in front of" and "outside" the Pillars of Heracles.</strong><br></br>
<strong>When, around 9600 BC, Atlantis was moved further north, it was evidently done stealthily, and of course under the cover of natural, cataclysmic processes, for man was taught that it simply disappeared under the waves in a single day of earthquake and flood. And it has remained more or less hidden in its final location, as Greenland, under a 2-mile thick covering of ice.</strong><br></br>
<strong>Today's earth scientists believe that all of the landmasses did indeed once move over the surface of the globe. They even posit a former landmass, containing a good portion of what would become the United Kingdom, that travelled north toward Greenland, or rather toward that portion of the former continent Laurentia which would become Greenland. They call this supposed landmass Avalonia, after the romantic lost isle Avalon to which King Arthur was taken upon his death. </strong><br></br>
<strong>However, they don't think any land moved along an ocean rift, because they consider every rift to have been merely the line between two separating landmasses. And they think that Greenland was always attached to Laurentia, the primordial North America, and thus always in its present relative position on that continent.</strong><br></br>
<strong>The design would have us put the jigsaw puzzle of the Earth together in a different way -- for a jigsaw puzzle is what it is, whose pieces were deliberately scattered and reassembled by the "gods".</strong><br></br>
<strong>Make no mistake, if Greenland is Atlantis, modern earth science is far off-base, and only getting farther off with every supposed "advance".</strong><br></br>
<strong>So let's look more closely at Atlantis, and the lands I say it became. Here is the image I introduced in my book, and in <a href="http://theendofthemystery.blogspot.com/2009/07/atlantis-at-last.html">"Atlantis At Last"</a>, of Greenland overlain on Atlantis.</strong><br></br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PmeWCIUKzYc/YI1fukX0p4I/AAAAAAAAAVY/jrOEY6yc-VQmoSdumWgRzEfKpo3um_qRQCLcBGAsYHQ/s346/atlantis%2Bgreenland%2Bpost.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" height="320" data-original-height="346" data-original-width="263" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PmeWCIUKzYc/YI1fukX0p4I/AAAAAAAAAVY/jrOEY6yc-VQmoSdumWgRzEfKpo3um_qRQCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/atlantis%2Bgreenland%2Bpost.jpg"/></a></div>
<strong>In addition to the very close similarity in the size and outlines of Atlantis and Greenland, the Kircher map of Atlantis also shows interior details -- a very large mountain symbol, for example, and six rivers extending far inland from the coast, crossing the outline of Greenland.</strong><br></br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lsHJKihAAGk/YI1gXgk8JpI/AAAAAAAAAVg/2Fwr8jKHta4CmMmHqgDv95TqXRMbDjT2QCLcBGAsYHQ/s298/atlantis%2Bgreenland%2Bwest%2Bpost.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" height="320" data-original-height="298" data-original-width="294" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lsHJKihAAGk/YI1gXgk8JpI/AAAAAAAAAVg/2Fwr8jKHta4CmMmHqgDv95TqXRMbDjT2QCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/atlantis%2Bgreenland%2Bwest%2Bpost.jpg"/></a></div>
<strong>Looking closely at the coastal geography of present-day Greenland, one can positively identify fully three of those six rivers of Atlantis, confirming Greenland as the largest remnant of Atlantis. As the accompanying images show, present-day waterways precisely mark both the locations and directions of flow of one river on the western coast of Greenland and two on the eastern coast. (If the reader is into verifiable details, the former is the Vaigat, the latter are the Nioghalvfjerdsfjorden on the northeast and the Kejser Franz Joseph Fjord further south.)</strong><br></br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-q95y_970Kn8/YI1g4KcQ66I/AAAAAAAAAVo/4p1UFeFRkW8GwMAJnwLTrCXIfCBtiKNgwCLcBGAsYHQ/s301/atlantis%2Bgreenland%2Beast%2Bpost.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" height="320" data-original-height="301" data-original-width="285" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-q95y_970Kn8/YI1g4KcQ66I/AAAAAAAAAVo/4p1UFeFRkW8GwMAJnwLTrCXIfCBtiKNgwCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/atlantis%2Bgreenland%2Beast%2Bpost.jpg"/></a></div>
<strong>The island of England and Scotland fits snugly into the space between the east coast of Greenland and the former east coast of Atlantis, and the two rivers of Atlantis here allow one to place the UK island precisely, as shown (hopefully, the image is good enough for the reader to make out the faint outline of that island I have placed there).</strong><br></br>
<strong>The southeast coast of Greenland also has a remarkable fan-like arrangement of fjords that merge at the coast. The northwest coast of Iceland has a similar arrangement of peninsulas, of the same extent as those fjords, indicating Iceland came from the southeast corner of Atlantis, approximately as shown. Note that with Iceland tilted to follow the former coastline of Atlantis, its peninsula-fan is oriented the same as the fjord-fan of Greenland. The designers left many visual clues to the former placement of landmasses.</strong><br></br>
<strong>The above simple geographical discussion by itself is convincing proof that the identity of Atlantis has been found. Both present-day Greenland and the former Atlantis landmass are also associated with some of the most famous of ancient myths, which independently prove their identification. These associations are detailed in "The End of the Mystery" [and below, in this re-presentation].</strong><br></br>
<strong>Be warned, this is not just an interesting finding, but a proof (actually, one out of many proofs) of the ancient deliberate re-formation of the world. This is an unavoidable indictment of modern scientific theories of the Earth, as well as religious beliefs about the creation of the world. Both theories and beliefs are undermined by being tied to false dogmas, which are injurious not just to the truth but to the spirit of man, which finally depends upon the truth.</strong><br></br>
<strong>I want now to introduce how the design motivated ancient beliefs, words and legends, using the example of Atlantis/Greenland discussed in the last two articles.</strong><br></br>
<strong>The fundamental fact behind the ancient testimonies, such as myths, is the idea of "sacred images". I found this is the conceptual key to all the ancient mysteries, and the original sacred images of mankind were the forms given the landmasses on the Earth by the designers.</strong><br></br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_5A4XJS9CLw/YI1i8PX4LlI/AAAAAAAAAVw/ObaPqYKE7R8t_1qHzoalcuGTT9sVyiSqACLcBGAsYHQ/s260/gadfly%2Bpost.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" height="320" data-original-height="260" data-original-width="214" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_5A4XJS9CLw/YI1i8PX4LlI/AAAAAAAAAVw/ObaPqYKE7R8t_1qHzoalcuGTT9sVyiSqACLcBGAsYHQ/s320/gadfly%2Bpost.jpg"/></a></div>
<strong>Here is the image of Greenland on the globe today. It should be noted that this (as with the other Earth images) is the "gods'-eye view", looking down on the Earth from space -- a realization that underscores the fact that the "gods" made the design on the Earth, and only they could have. </strong><br></br>
<strong>What sacred image, or images, does Greenland represent? Like all the images on the Earth, it is a simple outline, with a vague but decided resemblance to a number of objects, familiar even to a child. This, shall we say, artistic quality allows it to play a part in many myths, as different characters, which I discuss in my "End of the Mystery" books. We will follow just one of these characters here.</strong><br></br>
<strong>Greenland first looked to me most like the seated torso of a woman, because of the smoothness and the shape of the southern coastlines, outlining as it were the "leg" and "rear end" of the figure. Over many months, I gradually brought together a number of independent strands of ancient testimony and modern knowledge that, amazingly, confirmed my initial impression.</strong><br></br>
<strong>For example, a recurring character in Greek myth is that of the maiden, or virgin, pursued by Zeus or one of his equally lusty brothers. The most famous virgin in myth is Io, who was, incredible as it sounds, "changed into a snow-white heifer" by Zeus, to hide her from his wife, Hera. Now look again at Greenland: While its southern half resembles a "virgin", or young woman, on its northwest corner it bears a creature-like face, with a short muzzle. It looks rather like a dog, or a calf -- or, considering it as a female, a heifer. And Greenland is famous for its whiteness -- in fact, snow white, just like Io -- due to the ice that covers it almost entirely.</strong><br></br>
<strong>So, just like the mythical Io, Greenland can be recognized -- by even a child -- as both a woman and a "snow-white" calf. It is the only shape on the Earth that, remarkably, fits the unique mythical description of Io. It is also a major landmass, which would indeed require it to represent just such a famous character in myth, if the landmasses motivated the myths.</strong><br></br>
<strong>The myth of Io also fits the movement of Atlantis along the mid-ocean rift, as I discussed briefly in <a href="http://theendofthemystery.blogspot.com/2009/07/atlantis-at-last.html">"Atlantis At Last"</a>. For Hera sent a gadfly to chase and pester Io, causing her to wander over the Earth. So both the landmass and the mythical character were "wide-wanderers" on the Earth.</strong><br></br>
<strong>We have now four independent markers identifying Io with Greenland/Atlantis: The "virgin", the "calf", the "snow-white" color, and the wide wandering.</strong><br></br>
<strong>We can in fact complete the identification of myth and landmass in every detail. Just to the southeast of Greenland today is Iceland, which has a strange fanlike arrangement of peninsulas, pointing toward Greenland as if to poke it. As a sacred image, Iceland can be identified with the gadfly sent by Hera to torture Io over the Earth. (And the shape of nearby North America can be identified with the creature Argus sent by Hera to guard Io closely. One can easily imagine this was also the ancient origin of the fairy tale "Snow White", who was also driven out, in the deadly care of a guard, and hounded by the wicked Queen -- just as Hera was Queen to Zeus.)</strong><br></br>
<strong>To top off the by-now sure identity of Io and Greenland, fully six European nations use essentially the same word for "green": "verde", or a very similar word ("vert" in French, "vihrea" in Finnish). And "green" is a synonym for "virgin", meaning unused, untried, or unripe. The Portuguese "verde" is even pronounced, "veer-jee". So Greenland is indeed the "Virgin land" on the designed Earth. Portuguese legend tells of an Atlantis-like island known as "Ilha Verde", and the French an "Ile Vert", both meaning "Green Isle".</strong><br></br>
<strong>And finally, the myth says that Io was turned into a snow-white heifer "in the fair island of Abantis", alias Atlantis. It is also the "Avalon" of Arthurian legend and the "Abaton" of Osiris thousands of years earlier -- and every other "Lost Isle to the West", such as "Elysium", "Ultima Thule", and most recently, the "Westernesse" (literally, "Western Isle") and "Numenor" of J.R.R. Tolkien. Further south, as Atlantis, it was fair indeed; in the cold north, under thick ice, it has lain hidden in plain sight throughout history. The design behind the ancient mysteries is thoroughly recorded in all the ancient, sacred testimonies; this has been only one example of that undoubted fact.</strong><br></br>

This is a re-presentation of my 2009 newsblaze.com article:<br></br>
<strong>A popular theory about the Holy Grail today [2009-HDH] is that it referred to the biblical Mary Magdalene, who unbeknownst to history was the wife of Jesus Christ and gave birth to a son by him, thus continuing his direct line. This is, however, merely a poor sequel to what was meant to be a transcendent story of the Christ, or divinely perfected man, reducing it to the hope of any man that his line should continue.</strong><br></br>
<strong>In reality, the Holy Grail, or "cup of the Son (of God)" is but one example of a recurring motif in ancient myths, of the "Golden Cup of the Sun" (This play upon the homonyms "Son" and "Sun" is very old, and continues to this day.)</strong><br></br>
<strong>The Holy Grail's direct association with the Sun is easily confirmed: The word "grail" is from an earlier "greal" or "grial", and the ancient Irish word for the Sun was "grian" (from which we also get "green", as in green grass and trees, celebrated from earliest times as nourished by the Sun).</strong><br></br>
<strong>Irish is a Celtic language, and the Celts were one of the earliest known settlers of the British Isles. The Holy Grail, although grafted onto the romantic legend of King Arthur, is essentially an ancient Celtic tradition, often linked by scholars with the magically full cauldron of one or another god, goddess or hero, in Celtic and other myths, such as the Greek "Cornucopia," or Horn of Plenty. The Horn, or Cauldron, of Plenty is in turn identifiable with the Cup of Christ -- symbolically filled with his abundant, eternal life -- as famously celebrated in the Catholic Mass. It is also the cup that appears from the "churning of the cosmic ocean" in Indian myth, full of amrita or soma, the "water of life" of the gods--or in Greece, the "nectar" drunk by the gods. This water of life "refreshed" the gods, or maintained their immortality by rejuvenating them, so the "cup" can be identified with both the "fountain of youth" and the "tree of life" of still other traditions. (In the Norse mythology, the tree of life was the tree in the center of the Garden of Idun--obviously the same as the Garden of Eden--upon which grew Golden Apples, which were again the food eaten by the gods to rejuvenate themselves. Since Adam and Eve also famously ate the apple from the same Tree in the center of the Garden, this tells us the great but open secret (“Know ye not ye are gods?”) of the ancient mystery traditions and modern “Positive Thinking” gurus alike. The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam recalls another example of the cup of the Sun, from ancient Iran (Persia), in these lines:</strong><br></br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8jO0NZTJGu8/YI1QDrI22OI/AAAAAAAAAVQ/7d3ePEHjzIolT2yxJH14Kh_2Un1CzuIogCLcBGAsYHQ/s383/jamshyds%2Bcup%2Blines.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="320" data-original-height="86" data-original-width="383" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8jO0NZTJGu8/YI1QDrI22OI/AAAAAAAAAVQ/7d3ePEHjzIolT2yxJH14Kh_2Un1CzuIogCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/jamshyds%2Bcup%2Blines.jpg"/></a></div>
<strong>Thus every major tradition--of a cup or similar source of ever-renewed life--can be linked to the other, and all refer to the same thing, in a single endless chain of variations on one central myth. </strong><br></br>
<strong>The common source of all these ancient religious beliefs--the true point at which the esoteric and exoteric traditions merge, or rather from which they diverged “in the beginning”--was a world-encompassing deed of the "immortal spirits" or "gods": It was a great design of the world, which all the myths and legends minutely describe, in innumerable and precise scattered fragments, and thus decisively verify the design as fact, as the author has been the first in history to do. Ancient myths were, and still are when properly interpreted, both religion and hard science. They were, in short, sacred history, meant to pass down an all-important truth about the origin of the world and man, in terms both sacred and endlessly satisfying to the human imagination, based as they are upon the common human experience--glorious, dramatic tales of love and war, of heroes overcoming all obstacles, and the eternal mysteries of life and death--all of them motivated by the real design of the world. Science does not want to hear this, but the world needs to know the truth.</strong><br></br>

This is another re-presentation, of the answer to the ancient mystery of the Sphinx. I wrote a short article ("The Riddle of the Sphinx -- Solved") at newsblaze.com many years ago, and cited it in a 2009 blog post <a href="http://theendofthemystery.blogspot.com/2009/07/greater-riddle-of-sphinx.html">here</a>. That article has since disappeared, so here it is again:<br></br>
<strong>Egyptologists say the Great Sphinx at Giza in Egypt is 4500 years old, or about as old as the Great Pyramid. Many alternative researchers believe its rain-eroded enclosure and deeply weathered platform makes it older, between 7500 and 9000 years.</strong><br></br>
<strong>Now revolutionary new knowledge has come to light: Authoritative information anciently encoded on both the terrestrial and celestial spheres tells us the Sphinx is about 10,700 years old, more than twice as old as modern science would have us believe, but confirming of what Plato wrote concerning Egypt almost 2400 years ago.</strong><br></br>
<strong>But there is much more to the Sphinx than just its creation date; it commemorates the very establishment of a great design of the world -- the actual re-formation of Earth and "Heaven" -- more than 17,000 years ago, as uncovered and verified in my research, and outlined in the article, <a href="https://theendofthemystery.blogspot.com/2021/04/re-presenting-old-articles-design.html">"Design Behind the Ancient Mysteries"</a>.</strong><br></br>
<strong>Who is right? Modern science thinks the Sphinx was carved in the reign of the Pharaoh Khafre, who is credited also with the middle, or "second" pyramid at Giza, physically linked to the Sphinx by a megalithic stone causeway. Egyptologists say the face on the Sphinx is that of Khafre himself. Alternative researchers say Khafre only did restorative work on the monument, and the face does not match his, as known from other statues and verified by a modern forensic expert.</strong><br></br>
<strong>But neither Egyptologists nor past alternative researchers know what the Sphinx actually represents. They can only speculate about its date of creation.</strong><br></br>
<strong>The "alternative" explanation is that the Sphinx represents the constellation Leo, and some say this points to a time 12,500 years ago (10,500 BC) when Leo was on the vernal equinox; but the strongest link they can make to this date is that the psychic Edgar Cayce said while in trance that the Great Pyramid was built at that time, in his words "10,499 years before the prince of peace entered Egypt".</strong><br></br>
<strong>Egyptologists and other scientific "experts" deny a Leo connection, saying the constellation was only invented in the first millennium BC, long after the Sphinx was carved. And most importantly, just what was supposed to have happened in human history, at that time or earlier, so strange and wonderful as to have led one of the earliest civilizations on Earth to carve such a monstrous yet strangely childish thing? Without knowing that, speculations about the mere date of creation of the Sphinx are empty indeed.</strong><br></br>
<strong>Actually, my research was the first to prove what alternative truth-seekers have long believed but never established as fact, the direct ancient identification of the Great Sphinx with Leo. This is how it is done: The Sphinx was associated in ancient texts with a god having the strange name "Rwty", which it turns out is really "rw-ty", meaning "two lions". The Egyptians in fact used a recumbent-lion image (the same form as both the constellation Leo, and the Sphinx) for the hieroglyph known today as "rw"; and while Egyptologists pronounce this as "ru", they also know it was used to represent the "l" sound in non-Egyptian names such as "Ptolemy" and "Cleopatra".
</strong><br></br>
<strong>Long before I came upon those facts, I had independently verified that the "w" used by the Egyptians in such words as "rw-ty" originally stood for an "ee--ooh" ("you") or "ee--oh" pronunciation. So the actual pronunciation of the "rw" lion symbol in ancient Egypt was "lw", or "leo", the same name we use for a lion today. (Similarly, the classical Greeks knew the Pharaoh Khwfw as "Cheops", and the Greek counterpart of "Ushas", the Indian goddess of the dawn, was "Eos".)</strong><br></br>
<strong>But why "two lions" in referring to the Great Sphinx? Because it was carved, at the time when ancient Egypt was established, when Leo was at one "gate" of the year: the spring equinox; but it commemorated a date six and a half millennia earlier, when the great design of the Earth and solar system was imposed, and Leo was at another "gate" of the year: the "gate to the underworld", or winter solstice.</strong><br></br>
<strong>Leo was on the vernal equinox continuously for more than 2000 years, and the difference between the 12,500 years ago of other researchers and the time I discovered, 10,700 years ago, is 1800 years: To make a long story short, past alternative efforts focused upon the time when the rear end of Leo was on the vernal equinox, but the correct time is when its head was there; more precisely, the Great Sphinx was carved when the vernal equinox was just by the star Regulus in Leo -- known since antiquity as the "heart of the lion", since it marks the breast of the figure, just below the head.</strong><br></br>
<strong>The reason we can know this precisely is because of my research into the great design, which is too lengthy to go into here but proves that the central design -- of the Earth's current orientation and motions in space -- was completed about 17,100 years ago. At that time, the star Regulus was at the winter solstice, and this is the circumstance which not just the lion figure of the Sphinx but all of its ancient names as well are meant to commemorate.</strong><br></br>
<strong>The Sphinx's ancient name of "Horemakhet", for example, is currently thought to have meant "Horus on the horizon", but it actually meant "Horus at the gate to the underworld", or in real terms "Leo at the winter solstice", with the precise meaning I have given above. Another of its names, "Hwl", became to the local Arabs "Abu Hol", or "father of terror"; but "Hwl", according to what I have written about the Egyptian "w", should be pronounced "hyule" -- and "yule" was the ancient name for the winter solstice, and is still used for Christmas-time (as the winter solstice comes on or about December 21st each year). Many other ancient riddles, in fact, are solved by knowing that the ancient name for the winter solstice was "yule".</strong><br></br>
<strong>At best, Egyptologists generally can only say the Great Sphinx is linked by hieroglyphic inscriptions to the Sun-God of various names in different ancient testaments: Atum, Aton, Horus and Ra (or Re). Actually, these names are not all correct, as research into the great design has proved, and as students of hieroglyphics can readily confirm: "Atum" was really "Itm", and "Aton" was "Itn" (and thus better pronounced "eaten") -- that is, "eden".</strong><br></br>
<strong>No, I'm not hinting that the land around Giza was the original Eden of the Bible. But it, like the Sphinx, was meant to commemorate the original Eden, which was at the center of the great design of the "gods". The "Garden of Eden" is identified in my books and in <a href="https://theendofthemystery.blogspot.com/2021/04/re-presenting-old-articles-design.html">"Design Behind the Ancient Mysteries"</a>; in one widely used ancient metaphor, it was the very "mouth" of the mythical "golden cup of the Sun", as discussed in my 2009 NewsBlaze article, "The Holy Grail and the Great Design" [NB: now disappeared, but re-presented <a href="https://theendofthemystery.blogspot.com/2021/05/the-holy-grail-and-great-design.html">here</a>], and as pictured on this page.</strong><br></br>
<strong>Briefly, the Earth was set up in the Design like a toy top in space. Modern physical scientists know that, just like a leaning, spinning top, the Earth precesses -- that is, like the top it doesn't fall over; rather, its spin axis revolves around its orbital axis, always maintaining about the same angle between the two axes (around 23.5 degrees). Here is the image of the precession, well-known to science.</strong><br></br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-h1TLXz8KV1A/YIwxHKSUq7I/AAAAAAAAATY/loZURXqt62E7wRF4ZAfdn8YDhbJp3cA4QCPcBGAYYCw/s371/fig3p10.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="320" data-original-height="261" data-original-width="371" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-h1TLXz8KV1A/YIwxHKSUq7I/AAAAAAAAATY/loZURXqt62E7wRF4ZAfdn8YDhbJp3cA4QCPcBGAYYCw/s320/fig3p10.jpg"/></a></div>
<strong>The north pole of the Earth's spin axis now points close to the star Polaris on the celestial sphere; just where it points is called the Celestial North Pole, or CNP. As the figure shows, in the precession the CNP circles the north pole of the ecliptic axis, the ENP. The CNP will come closest to Polaris in about 2105 AD, and goes entirely around the circle in about 25,900 years. [Note the goblet (cup) shape of the outline of the above image. This, in brief, is the "golden cup of the Sun", the ancient mystery that gave rise to the "Holy Grail" of Christian myth.]</strong><br></br>
<strong>So it is a well-known scientific fact that the ENP is at the center of that precession circle. Compare this scientific understanding with world myths, in which the image of that circle and its center, the ENP, was widely known, metaphorically, as the "garden of the gods", with a "tree of life" in the center.</strong><br></br>
<strong>The precession circle around the ENP was in fact both the "home and garden of the gods" in every major mythical tradition: Hyperborea (the "Land Beyond North") and "Many-Peaked" Olympus, in the Greek; Asgard in the Norse; Swarga in India; Xian in China; the Duat in Egypt -- and the "many-pointed Lotus" of both Egypt and India (with Brahma, the "All-Father" or Creator, standing in the center of the lotus, in India's mythical tradition, just as Ra-Osiris -- the "Source" -- stands in the center of the Egyptian Duat).</strong><br></br>
<strong>The land of Egypt itself was changed to represent that circle, around 8700 BC, or 10,700 years ago, when the star Regulus in Leo was on the spring equinox. This confirms the date given by Plato, in his "Timaeus", for the establishment of Egypt by the goddess Neith, alias Athene: eight thousand years before Solon visited Egypt (c. 600 BC).</strong><br></br>
<strong>The Nile delta was deliberately formed to have a circular arc, and with Giza at the center of that arc. This has been known to science ever since Napoleon conquered Egypt at the end of the 18th century, and had his savants, or scientists, make a detailed study of the fabulous land. Before the discovery of the great design, no one could have known what this mysterious geographic property of Egypt meant; now we know Egypt was deliberately designed as a commemorative land, pointing to the setting up of the Earth and solar system in their present orbital orientation, when the Earth began to precess around a newly-established ecliptic axis of the solar system. (This must have been the great design feat celebrated in the biblical book of Job, "when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of Elohim [literally, "the gods"] shouted for joy".)</strong><br></br>
<strong>Here is an image of the area of Egypt on the globe, with the circle indicated by the Nile delta drawn upon it.</strong><br></br>

<strong>Remember I said above, the precession circle was represented as the "many-pointed lotus" in Egypt and India? Here is an image of the egyptian lotus, from a 19th Dynasty work of art. Note how closely this image mimics the Nile river and its delta, as seen from space.

<strong>The memory of man on Earth goes back further than we have been led to believe, especially in such lands as Egypt. It goes all the way back, in myth, to the golden race among whom the "gods" once walked, on a younger Earth. These would have been the "sons of God" mentioned fleetingly in the Bible, and the "nephelim" or "cast down" ones. Again, I have given much confirming evidence of this in "The End of the Mystery".</strong><br></br>
<strong>The great design of the Earth and solar system was imposed by the extraterrestrial "gods" of worldwide myth and legend -- "when the earth was divided" (according to the Bible, in Genesis 10:25), whole continents were rafted over the Earth (according to the great design, as well as to modern science only in recent decades) and "the new gods were born" among the planets (according to Greek myth).</strong><br></br>

Part 3 of "Design Behind the Ancient Mysteries" (from 2005). I thought this would be a 4-part presentation of the original paper, but I see that what would have been part 4 was in fact included in the 2009 post, <a href="http://theendofthemystery.blogspot.com/2009/05/challenge-to-science-iii-gods-design.html">Challenge to Science III</a>, as an "UPDATE":<br></br>
<strong>The “gods” adopted the idea of projecting the celestial sphere onto the terrestrial globe in order to record their design deeds. They provided for a whole series of precise,
easily-identifiable mappings of “heaven on earth”, by shaping landmasses on Earth to match
constellation forms (Figure 10, next page). For example, the main form of the constellation
Cepheus can be precisely mapped onto the African Horn, the forepart of the constellation
Centaurus closely resembles the form of the eastern coast of North America, Crater can be
precisely fitted to Hudson Bay, and so on.</strong><br></br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RLCaUhZg2O4/YIyY8mXV-2I/AAAAAAAAAUY/sQz8OUu976IGunBAoc-vDN85ub2ih6UywCLcBGAsYHQ/s571/mapping%2Bexamples%2B1.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="320" data-original-height="461" data-original-width="571" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RLCaUhZg2O4/YIyY8mXV-2I/AAAAAAAAAUY/sQz8OUu976IGunBAoc-vDN85ub2ih6UywCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/mapping%2Bexamples%2B1.jpg"/></a></div>
<strong><center>Figure 10--Examples of constellation forms matched to continental outlines.</center></strong><br></br>
<strong>Such wholesale, precise re-formations of continental landmasses by the “gods” would explain the creation accounts, in Genesis and in other religious traditions, which stressed that God “separated the land from the waters.” These re-formations also left the landmasses with an abundance of creature-like shapes, almost all upright on the globe and hence clearly the work of design. These creature images can be identified with the best known of mythological characters, worldwide (as treated in some detail in "The End of the Mystery").</strong><br></br>
<strong>Only in the last century has science shown that the continents have indeed been broken up, moved over the surface of the Earth, and re-formed. The idea of “continental drift” was resisted for decades, because geophysicists saw no natural force capable of it. But the design of the "gods", and the ancient testimonies that derived from it, are quite clear (again, as detailed in "The End of the Mystery"): The designers broke apart, moved, and re-formed whole continents into their present locations and shapes, in order to enable various constellation forms to be matched to various landforms, in a series of mappings of "heaven onto earth" that, together with the myths and other ancient traditions of mankind, tell the story the "gods" wanted to leave behind for man to find, when he had grown enough in understanding to see it. These mappings were undoubtedly the objective origin of the ancient religious tradition, and prime hermetic dictum, of "as above, so below", or "on earth as it is in heaven." (This should not be taken as the only meaning of that worldwide tradition; it was affirmed as a primary spiritual truth. The author’s research has been to establish the objective, physical origin of the world’s strikingly similar mythologies and traditions, not to deny the spiritual.)</strong><br></br>
<strong>A particularly clear demonstration of the fact of the design, and its precision, is shown in a generic mapping of the celestial sphere, as in Figure 2, onto the Earth, which may be termed a precessional mapping, with the celestial north pole mapped onto the terrestrial north pole. Figure 11 shows such a mapping, whose defining feature is the location of the vernal, or spring, equinox point on the Earth, which was established at the island of Sulawesi.</strong><br></br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dV3aTVpEgH0/YIybLICHe1I/AAAAAAAAAUg/COC1N4E3VUgRM5lFhKUl-QQsYQGAEkilACLcBGAsYHQ/s694/mapping%2Bexamples%2B2.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="320" data-original-height="296" data-original-width="694" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dV3aTVpEgH0/YIybLICHe1I/AAAAAAAAAUg/COC1N4E3VUgRM5lFhKUl-QQsYQGAEkilACLcBGAsYHQ/s320/mapping%2Bexamples%2B2.jpg"/></a></div>
<strong><center>Figure 11--Ancient precessional mapping of celestial sphere onto Earth.</center></strong><br></br>
<strong>Sulawesi (formerly Celebes) is shaped like the mathematical symbol and Greek letter "pi", and the author has verified the ancient use of that name, "pi", for the vernal equinox point on the Earth. Figure 12, next page, shows a close-up of this point, showing how the adjacent coast was curved around it, with a diameter the same as that of the Sun in the sky (0.53 degrees), to represent the point where the Sun rises above the (celestial) equator, on the first day of spring.</strong><br></br>

<strong><center>Figure 13--The precession mapping and Norse mythical places.</center></strong><br></br>
<strong>This part of the Earth was named the "Orient" to refer to the symbolic "rising" of the Sun here as on the vernal equinox; it was called the "East" for the same reason, because the Sun also "rises" each day (above the horizon), in the east. Also, Figure 12 refers to a "Great Mapping", according to which the Earth was designed; in this mapping, Japan lay along the rising path of the Sun--and so it was called the "land of the rising sun" (although it is not the only land on that path).</strong><br></br>
<strong>Four of the mappings identified by the author, in particular, unequivocally and precisely show where the ENP formerly was on the celestial sphere, by identifying the former precession circle around it (Figure 14)--proving that the orbit of the Earth, and the entire solar system (which is predominantly aligned with the Earth orbit), was deliberately changed from that previous orientation.</strong><br></br>

Part 2 of "Design Behind the Ancient Mysteries". You should note, with grateful astonishment (as I did, when I discovered each one), the number of ancient mysteries (both known, and ignored up to now, by science) that are casually explained in these posts.<br></br>
<strong>There are elements of obvious design around both the ENP and its southern counterpart, the ecliptic south pole (ESP), showing that the ecliptic axis--and the orbit of the Earth--was designed to be where it now is. Immediately surrounding the ENP (Figure 3) is a highly symmetrical truncated pyramid of stars (Xi, Epsilon, Psi1 and Zeta, all in Draco), with the ENP within 0.5 degree of its very center (Figure 5).</strong><br></br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-f0HrR55Vunw/YHm4iH40yCI/AAAAAAAAASs/HKcniWPiLbcbWBKEV4edOBPXaatg7UL9QCPcBGAYYCw/s368/enp%2Bchance%2B1.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="320" data-original-height="283" data-original-width="368" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-f0HrR55Vunw/YHm4iH40yCI/AAAAAAAAASs/HKcniWPiLbcbWBKEV4edOBPXaatg7UL9QCPcBGAYYCw/s320/enp%2Bchance%2B1.jpg"/></a></div>
<strong><center>Figure 5--The truncated pyramid around the ENP.</center></strong><br></br>
<strong>This precise pyramid shape was responsible for the “nemes” headdress of ancient Egypt, worn by all the Pharaohs and the Great Sphinx at Giza (Figure 6), and it was also the shape once given to the Egyptian goddess Nut, who represented the overarching sky (Figure 7).</strong><br></br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KbjzF0wn1yE/YIyMJMHVj7I/AAAAAAAAAT4/yYujHKtrGrs0EMJ7gCwKrWQ98BmGXALTACLcBGAsYHQ/s856/nemes.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="320" data-original-height="357" data-original-width="856" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KbjzF0wn1yE/YIyMJMHVj7I/AAAAAAAAAT4/yYujHKtrGrs0EMJ7gCwKrWQ98BmGXALTACLcBGAsYHQ/s320/nemes.jpg"/></a></div>
<strong><center>Figure 6--The nemes headdress on Pharaoh Ra ‘djedef and on the Sphinx at Giza.</center></strong><br></br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-j1wenmnEieo/YIyMqDI2KAI/AAAAAAAAAUA/aMr_8e8ox2oUw4L2oFWdWIgbpm_SSyungCLcBGAsYHQ/s494/fig2p11.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="320" data-original-height="243" data-original-width="494" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-j1wenmnEieo/YIyMqDI2KAI/AAAAAAAAAUA/aMr_8e8ox2oUw4L2oFWdWIgbpm_SSyungCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/fig2p11.jpg"/></a></div>
<strong><center>Figure 7--The Egyptian sky goddess Nut in the shape of the nemes.</center></strong><br></br>
<strong>The very name "nemes" for this shape inside the precession circle, or sacred "garden", is of central importance, for in Greek mythology also the term “nemes” or “nemea” occurs, in the same sacred contexts we have already observed, both as the sacred “grove” (literally, a tree-garden) of one or another high god or goddess (e.g., “Nemean Diana”, “Nemean Zeus”) and as “Nemesis”, the wrathful purveyor of divine justice (just as the circle and line were the symbol of Shamash’s divine justice). In fact, the author has shown (in "The End of the Mystery") that the lion-bodied Sphinx with its nemes headdress stands as an ancient image of the "Nemean lion"--the object of the first of the "Twelve Labors of Hercules" in Greek myth--the original of which was the recumbent-lion shape of the constellation Leo (as many have guessed but no one has before proven): The recumbent lion image was an Egyptian hieroglyph today transliterated as "rw", which however the ancient Egyptians themselves used to stand for the "l" in non-Egyptian words (as in the names "Ptolemy" and "Cleopatra"), and which the author has demonstrated could be pronounced "lee-ooh" or "leo" (the "leo" portion of "Cleopatra" itself was sometimes written hieroglyphically by the "rw"-lion "l" symbol followed by the symbol today transliterated as "w", which the author has shown was originally pronounced "ee-ooh"--"you"--and "ee-oh"); the Egyptians thus knew the lion by the same name, "leo", we know today.</strong><br></br>
<strong>The extended curve of Draco within the northern precession circle gave rise to the
oriental “tai chi”, or “yin/yang” symbol, and Draco along with the brightest stars of Ursa Major (i.e., the bowl of the Big Dipper) became both the Azure Dragon of China (Figure 8) and the Feathered Serpent of Meso-America, and other similar representations.</strong><br></br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_d3YT2GCnP4/YIyO7L-kpYI/AAAAAAAAAUI/NCa0tJb0HOUcHfGHvI0Baq-jSXz-HE1KQCLcBGAsYHQ/s598/fig8p33.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="320" data-original-height="246" data-original-width="598" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_d3YT2GCnP4/YIyO7L-kpYI/AAAAAAAAAUI/NCa0tJb0HOUcHfGHvI0Baq-jSXz-HE1KQCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/fig8p33.jpg"/></a></div>
<strong><center>Figure 8--The “tai chi” (yin/yang) design and the Azure Dragon.</center></strong><br></br>
<strong>(Again, there is not room here to present all the overwhelming evidence. For example, the identification of the origin of the "tai chi" is proved not just from the precise geometrical fit shown in the figure, but by the meanings given every representative of the precession circle in world myths, and by the very names given those representatives. The precession circle was known worldwide as the "eternal way": With the ENP at its center, it was the "way of the tree of life", the boundary of Eden of Genesis 3:24. The word for "way" in Egypt was "ta"--plural "tau"--and in the Orient, "tao"; also, in Genesis 3:24, just quoted, the word used for the “way” of the tree of life is “derek,” from the root “da-rak,” in which “ta” can be clearly seen as “da.” From other evidence, the author has shown that the circle of the precession around the ENP was most probably "jw-ta", or "ju-ta", meaning the "way of divine justice", hence such names as the Egyptian "Duat"--or "ju-at"--for the home of the gods, "Zeus" or "Ju-piter" for the most high god, "jew", from "judah", and if one reads the syllables in the reverse order, "ta-jw", or "tai-chi". The “w” in “jw”, the author has shown, was originally “ee-oh” or “ee-ooh”, or “eu” as in “Zeus,” and of the words proceeding from the root “jw-ta,” in many languages, some retained the “ooh” or “u” sound, while others the “ee.” This explains the name “Giza”--pronounced “jee-za” by the Arabs to this day--for the pyramid and sphinx complex outside Cairo, Egypt, for the author has shown that this complex, located at the center of the circular arc of the Nile delta to the north, was meant to represent the ENP at the center of the precession circle, thus it was named after that
circle “jw-ta,” or “jee-za”. The "tai-chi" is known as the symbol of "eternal return", a name
which applies perfectly and uniquely to the precession circle, at every level of study, from the purely visual image, through its central, physical significance, to its deepest symbolic meaning. The precession circle was in this regard represented as the Wheel of Fortune, the "way of life" to which the soul of man was eternally bound, eternally returning, until he advanced sufficiently to escape it.)</strong><br></br>
<strong>The author has calculated the probability that the ENP should be at the center of such obvious designs (not all of which have been mentioned here), by chance alone, to be less than one in a million million million. This amazing physical fact, indicating deliberate design not just of the Earth’s orbit but the entire solar system, is in perfect harmony with the mythological traditions around the world, which speak of a "birth of the new gods" (led by "Zeus", for example, and represented by the planets) and of a succession of Suns, or of the “runaway” or “death” of an earlier Sun--the Greek tale of Phaethon, for example, or the Norse Ragnarok--in which much of the Earth was said to have been burned up.</strong><br></br>
<strong>There is also design evident around the ecliptic south pole, or ESP, the southern
counterpart to the ENP (Figure 9). The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is just beside the ESP,
but much more exciting is the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), which is just at the rim of the
southern precession circle, and incorporates an actual, precise pointer, both to the circle and its center.</strong><br></br>

Old articles I wrote and presented, on my lulu.com site and on newsblaze.com, have all disappeared. I have just made myself aware of this (they were up for years, and I just stopped checking on them). I will re-present some of them here now, as I have done three times in recent days already. The following is the first part of a larger piece I wrote, originally in 2005, which introduces my unprecedented discovery of the "Great Design of the 'gods'". (I linked to it, on a now-disappeared web page, on this blog in 2009, in the post <a href="http://theendofthemystery.blogspot.com/2009/05/challenge-to-science-iii-gods-design.html">Challenge to Science III</a>. I sent it, as noted there, to President-Elect Obama immediately after the 2008 election.). I think I will re-present it here in 4 parts:<br></br>
<strong>Summary:</strong><br></br>
<strong>All of the sacred traditions of man on Earth are indicated to have originated in a great physical re-formation of the surface of the Earth and of the entire solar system, by the "gods" of worldwide myth and legend. This design requires a new paradigm of scientific investigation and a re-thinking of modern scientific theories, especially the earth and life sciences.</strong><br></br>
<strong>Introduction:</strong><br></br>
<strong>The most ancient traditions of man worldwide speak of a time when “gods” ruled; even in the Bible, in the book of Genesis, God is given the plural name Elohim and refers to Himself as “us”, and the unexplained "sons of God", interacting with the "daughters of men" to produce the heroes of old, the "men of renown", are the prime movers of world events leading to the flood of Noah. The ancient worldwide stories about the gods, and the heroes who interacted with them, are today called myths and are practically defined as fantastic, patently untrue tales about the origin of the world and man. The myths all characteristically affirmed that the gods made or re-formed the world.</strong><br></br>
<strong>The author, an experienced research physical scientist, has proven the existence of those who were known to ancient man as the “gods”. He has found their own records, in a great design written upon the celestial and terrestrial spheres (in the forms of the constellations and the ocean-outlined landmasses) that, together with the myths and other ancient knowledge handed down throughout history, reveal a coherent, objectively-verified story of the time of the “gods”, and the origin of the world as we know it. All of the major mythological traditions refer directly to the central elements of the world design, containing symbolic, dramatized descriptions of the images wrought in the design. These precise images, precisely described in myth, were the original “sacred images” of mankind, and the descriptive words of the myths were likewise based upon sacred originals, in an original world-tongue, whose meanings are preserved in the many similar words the peoples of the Earth use to this day. All that mankind now is--its languages, its cultural traditions, all of its highest endeavors--initiated in or passed through the defining filter of the great design. After the “gods”, people could not see the design, nor entirely understand the knowledge they inherited, resulting in thousands of years of religious misunderstanding, division and dogma.</strong><br></br>
<strong>In a short paper, only the most obvious proofs of the design of the "gods" can be
presented. Readers are referred to the author’s book, "The End of the Mystery" (Volumes 1 and 2, available on amazon.com), for much independent, interlocking supporting material.</strong><br></br>
<strong>The central fact of the design--which may be first simply stated, then supported with
objective evidence--resides in the basic structure of the solar system and the motions of the Earth within it: The solar system revolves, predominantly and approximately, around a single axis, which can reasonably be defined by the Earth’s own orbital axis (all the planets except Pluto orbit in nearly the same plane as the Earth, and even the Sun spins about roughly the same axis). When the great design was implemented, Earth (and the rest of the system) was made to orbit in a new plane, and its spin axis was tilted (by about 23.5°) with respect to its orbital axis. It was set up exactly as a leaning, spinning top, a child's toy, and like a top its spin axis precesses, around its orbital axis (Figure 1). Its spin axis points to the celestial north pole, or CNP, among the stars, and its orbital axis points to the ecliptic north pole, or ENP. Precession causes the CNP to circle the ENP, with a period of almost 26,000 years.</strong><br></br>

<strong><center>Figure 1--Precession: The Earth as a top.</center></strong><br></br>
<strong>One can visualize the precession of Figure 1 in the larger context of the celestial sphere, by projecting that sphere onto the surface of any conveniently-sized smaller sphere. The “gods” used the Earth itself for this, as we will see. This allows one to literally “look down on all of creation.” One can readily compare the view of the precession circle on the celestial sphere (Figure 2, next page) with the image of the precession in Figure 1.</strong><br></br>

<strong><center>Figure 3--The precession circle and constellations, as seen from Earth.</center></strong><br></br>
<strong>The image of the precession circle on the heavenly sphere (Figure 3, looking upward from the Earth in this view) was the primary focus of every major mythological tradition, including Greece, Scandinavia, India, Egypt, China, Meso-America, and so on. Most fundamentally, the area within that circle was the "home" and "garden" of the “gods” in every tradition: Olympus, and Hyperborea (Greece), Asgard (Norse), the lotus of creation (in both India and Egypt), Swarga (India), Xian (China), the Duat (Egypt)--and the garden of Eden, of course: The ENP point at the center of the circle was remembered in every major tradition as the Tree of Life in the center of the Garden. The constellation Draco--the dragon, or serpent--surrounds the ENP and its primary form lies within the precession circle, so it represents the serpent in the garden (it was also "leviathan", the "twining" serpent). The succession of CNP points that define the circle were represented in myth as mountain peaks, or “points”; thus we read of “many-peaked Olympus”, the “many-pointed lotus”, and the many “peaks” independently said to surround Xian and the Duat. The area inside the circle was Hyperborea, or “beyond north”, because its rim always just touched celestial north, the CNP (Figure 2). Also important was the double-cone shape carved out by the Earth’s spin axis as it precessed around the orbital axis.</strong><br></br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-n3df9nYKBVw/YIw4NCFpZxI/AAAAAAAAATw/ooT82dO6hiwkGn9RLyV_sm3umWh46YwxgCLcBGAsYHQ/s510/fig3p9.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="320" data-original-height="230" data-original-width="510" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-n3df9nYKBVw/YIw4NCFpZxI/AAAAAAAAATw/ooT82dO6hiwkGn9RLyV_sm3umWh46YwxgCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/fig3p9.jpg"/></a></div>
<strong><center>Figure 4--Ancient usage of the precession images.</center></strong><br></br>
<strong>Figure 4 shows two ancient illustrations, from c. 2000 BCE, which feature the characteristic images of the precession. On the left, Ur-Nammu waters the Tree of Life before Shamash, the god of justice; on the right, Hammurabi stands before the same god, who holds the same object in both images. The first image shows the Tree of Life growing from a double-cone shaped container, precisely like the ecliptic axis at the center of the precessing spin axis in Figure 1. The cup held by Ur-Nammu is also double-cone shaped, and represents the “golden cup of the Sun” of many mythological traditions, including most famously the Holy Grail, the cup of the “Son” of God--the right-hand illustration in Figure 1 shows the instantly recognizable goblet shape of the double-cone with the (Earth) sphere at its middle; “grail” comes from an earlier “grial”, and the Irish word for the Sun was “grian”. The object held by Shamash, consisting of circle and straight line--the sacred symbol of his divine justice (in this context, the right-hand illustration adorns the top of a stele containing the famous Code of Hammurabi, a celebrated milestone in human justice)--is identifiable as the precession circle and the 0h/12h line of right ascension, leading to the vernal and autumnal equinoxes, as shown on the right in Figure 2 (the view seen by looking straight down on the CNP).</strong><br></br>

I wrote the following article back in 2009, on newsblaze.com, as part of my initial foray into seeking recognition on the internet (going to the people directly, not to "peer review", which was and is a farce, as all entrenched institutions are, when it is time for them to hand over the reins of power to new knowledge). It is time to bring it forward again, because it is worthy of your kind (or even not so kind) attention, especially when you consider it was written off-the-cuff, and at the very outset of the current world insanity outbreak:<br></br>
<Strong>The mind of man wants to soar, to be as free as the wind that blows. Artists and creators of every kind, in all times, speak about the need to let their creativity "flow" like the wind, or a stream flowing without hindrance over the Earth. In Nature, if you try to block the "natural flow", the pressure builds up behind the block until you risk destruction of all that you have built on the other side of it; a poignant example of this is what happened to New Orleans -- below sea-level, and protected by levees -- during Hurricane Katrina: Washout City, literally.</strong><br></br>
<Strong>In the 1630's, the mind of Galileo was blocked by the Church, as he sought to communicate a new knowledge of the world. He was eventually tried (by the Church, mind you, not a civil court), forced to recant his claim that the Earth moves around the Sun, and sentenced to house arrest for the remainder of his life. Does the phrase, "there's no law west of Dodge" ring a bell?</strong><br></br>
<Strong>That's right; Galileo had ventured, as an innocent scientist seeking the truth, into a lawless frontier, full of bullying, sacrosanct ideas, and was simply shot down in the street, in a manner of speaking. Scientists ever afterward have celebrated him as one of the key figures, if not the very father, of modern science. And the war between science and religion, like the war between the sexes, is a perennial (and often laughable) spectacle to the innocent layperson, who is no expert and feels no real loyalty on either side.</strong><br></br>
<Strong>Which brings us to myself. I am the Galileo of this age, and like him I am an independent scientist. Only today, the bullying authority that opposes and suppresses me is the scientific consensus itself, which the public largely accepts without question. Its sacrosanct idea is that there are only undirected physical forces behind all that we see, on the Earth and in the universe beyond, and that deliberate design of the world cannot be considered in science. As an innocent scientist, however (just like Galileo), I have found and verified just such a world design. (You can learn about it in my books, and in my blog, <a href="http://theendofthemystery.blogspot.com">"Earth and Man: Setting the Stage."</a>) It is a fact, which I cannot ignore, nor can I be silent about, for it goes to the very heart of an unrecognized crisis of competence in science today, a science that upholds naive myths of "plate tectonics", "ice ages", and other accoutrements of a supposed "evolution" of the Earth itself, from primitive ball of matter to "living world". The "explanations" of science today -- particularly, but not only, in the earth and life sciences -- are increasingly the stories of children, made to entertain children, and more darkly, to protect unquestioned and unsupported dogma.</strong><br></br>
<Strong>You might think I would be protected (in this modern intellectual version of the Wild, Wild West) by the "creationists" and "intelligent design" claimants, since I'm talking about design of the natural world, but you would be wrong. The design I found is not the design of life, nor the one-time creation of the world, by a supreme God. What I have proven as fact -- and I know many think we can't speak of "proving" anything; but tell that to all the engineers and inventors who have built our modern world upon proven knowledge, or to physicists like myself whose professional business it is to prove what we say about the world -- what I have proven is a late and wholesale re-formation of the surface of the Earth (between 20,000 and 10,000 years ago), by those known to ancient man worldwide as the "gods" of myth and legend. The "gods", not God, once walked the Earth, and taught man all that he knew, thousands of years before the beginning of known human history. The debates of today over the origins of the Earth and the life on it are intellectual wars between the followers of the categorical Absolutes: God versus Chance. The reality is that, somewhere between creation of the material universe and the beginning of human history, a race of godlike men remade the surface of the Earth and the entire solar system, and imparted to it all a complex design intended to communicate a coherent message to man on Earth. That complex message became the early religious belief of mankind, the progenitor of every field of human thought. But it was passed down by a mankind in childhood, in fragments descriptive of the images wrought in the design and imbedded -- in disguise, as fantastic characters, objects and lands -- within the exciting stories known today as myths.</strong><br></br>
<Strong>But what does this all mean for us today? It means, first of all, that the science programs you see on TV about the origin of the Earth and the life on it, are modern myths. The Earth did not evolve, mindlessly -- it was made, as deliberately and as precisely as Walt Disney World was made. The "expert" scientists you see on these programs have themselves been educated in myth, masquerading as science: the myth that the relatively weak and undirected geological processes of the last 10,000 years, if given four and a half billion years to work, and aided by the occasional "killer" asteroid impact or other catastrophe from space, and any required number of other convenient cosmic accidents (the list keeps growing), can account for the creation of the Earth as we know it. These are bedtime stories -- or "Ask Mr. Wizard" Saturday morning fare -- and the scientists who tell them are inept at best.</strong><br></br>
<Strong>Religion too, worldwide, has been the victim of the misplaced concreteness of ancient myths, in which mere likeness of an image to something both familiar yet fantastic was taken by man to be a sacred assurance of the existence of that fantastic thing. Thus, the outline of Africa on the globe looks like a man's face in profile, only with a horn growing out of his forehead; and thus it was that the "Horned One" was born, in all his mythical guises, whether as the Devil or as the god Thor, who once got a "hone" imbedded in his forehead in a fight with a giant, or any number of other mythical horned characters. Modern scientists don't want to hear that Africa looks like a horned man, but it does. They don't want to admit there was intent behind it, but there was. This and a thousand other evidences of design of the world they absolutely refuse to countenance as scientific evidence, because they don't know the overall design into which they all fit. They are children, you see, easily tired out by a world more complex than they are prepared to acknowledge, a world which contains things far beyond the bounds of their childish theories.</strong><br></br>
<Strong>Put this knowledge alongside the childishness you have witnessed in recent years in our political and financial systems, and there is only one conclusion: The world is in the hands of children.</strong><br></br>

Yesterday I re-published on this blog an article I first published on lulu.com 15 years ago. The following is another early article I placed on that site 16 years ago:<br></br>
<strong>Abstract: It is claimed herein that there is a common objective origin to the myths, legends and other ancient traditions of mankind, worldwide: It is a design, set into the spheres of “heaven” (the starry sky) and Earth, by those known as the “gods” in myth and legend. It is claimed the design entailed the re-orientation and re-formation of the entire solar system, and the re-formation of the landmasses on the surface of the Earth, as well as the conceptual linking of stars on the celestial sphere into the constellation forms known to this day. The remaking of the Earth forms and the invention of the constellation forms were done to enable the matching of forms on the two spheres of “heaven” and Earth, in a series of precise mappings of the former onto the latter. This was done in order to convey a history of the design deeds of the “gods” to anyone who discovered and correctly interpreted their many features. These mappings were the origin of the prime hermetic dictum, “As above, so below,” or “on Earth as it is in heaven.” Physical evidence of the re-formation of the Earth’s landmasses can be seen in their shapes, which exhibit many creature-like images, whose overwhelming uniformity of orientation toward the north proves their deliberate design. Physical evidence of the re-orientation of the solar system resides in obvious design elements (for which chance can be overwhelmingly ruled out as the cause) associated with the areas on the celestial sphere on and around the poles of the ecliptic -- the approximate axis of the solar system -- and at other celestial sites defined by the current placing of the ecliptic axis; one series of heaven-to-earth mappings also clearly and precisely indicates the former position of the ecliptic axis. The most famous of worldwide myths, legends, traditions and symbols also provide universal ancient testimony, all directed toward the aforementioned celestial design elements, and toward the Earth’s creature images; the celestial area surrounding the current ecliptic north pole (ENP), for example, was the “home” and “garden” of the “gods” in all of the major mythological traditions, and the position of the former ENP can be independently verified from myths such as the “Twelve Labors of Hercules”. Discovery and successful interpretation of the design enlightens all of the so-called “ancient mysteries”, and corrects some basic flaws in the modern scientific consensus. In this article, attention will be narrowly focused, upon the most directly observable and verifiable physical evidence for a past re-orientation of the solar system -- those clearly designed elements associated with the ENP position -- ignoring for the present a large amount of supporting evidence from ancient testimonies, and from the several aforementioned mappings that actually pinpoint the former ENP. (That proof, of the precise position of the former ENP as commemorated in the Great Design, is in my 2009 post, <a href="http://theendofthemystery.blogspot.com/2009/05/challenge-to-science-iii-gods-design.html">Challenge to Science III</a>)</strong><br></br>
<strong>A feature common to the most ancient testimonies of mankind, the world over, are myths told about a race of all-powerful “gods” who once ruled the Earth, and who were generally credited with creating it. This and all other ancient traditions were characteristically fantastic, magical, and yet religiously maintained over many generations. These traditions were believed to be literally the sacred truth about the world, and they were the forerunners of all later religious faith. They are today commonly considered mere superstitions, patently untrue, but if that is so, one is left with explaining the complexity and cohesiveness of the ancient canons, the common elements found in myths worldwide, and the manic, worldwide determination to remember them perfectly, even over millennia. The very simplest hypothesis that would account for all of these characteristics is that the ancient traditions all proceed from a common, and an objective, source. A common thread among them was the idea of number, of design, and of image -- sacred image. Another was the perceived division of the universe, between the earth wherein man dwelt, and heaven, the home of the gods. With all these ideas in mind, the author in 1996 determined to study the heavenly sphere -- which scientists today still call the celestial sphere -- to see if there might be some apparent design among the stars that could have served as the common source for widely-scattered but similar traditions among men. In August 1997, the author found such a design; it was in fact but the central element of a much larger design, whose recognizable boundaries would eventually grow to cover the spheres of both the Earth and heaven.</strong><br></br>
<strong>Quite apart from all the evidence the author has found that ties the ancient traditions of mankind to the specific images and story implied by the design, the designers were careful to arrange elements with mathematical precision that would make plain that those elements were intelligently designed. One need not even know the purpose of a given such arrangement, to recognize that it is not the result of chance.</strong><br></br>
<strong>Consider the primary motions of the Earth in space: The Earth spins upon its own north-south axis, and it orbits the Sun, in a near-circular orbit. Its orbital plane is called the ecliptic (and this is marked on celestial charts as the apparent path of the Sun among the stars over the course of the year--it is a great circle on the celestial, or heavenly, sphere). The Earth's spin axis is tilted about 23.5 degrees from its orbital axis, the latter being the approximate axis of the entire solar system, since all the planets but Pluto orbit in nearly the same plane, and even the Sun spins about nearly the same axis. In its movements, the Earth is thus like a leaning, spinning child's top; and like the top, the Earth's spin axis precesses, around its orbital axis. This causes the celestial north pole, or CNP--the direction of the Earth's spin axis, as a projected point on the celestial sphere--to circle the ecliptic north pole (or ENP), with a period of approximately 26,000 years.</strong><br></br>
<strong>In 1997, the author found a symmetric pattern of stars around the ENP point on the celestial sphere. It is a pattern whose central, religious importance to at least one ancient civilization is easily demonstrated, but we need not consider mere ancient testimonies or expressions (the author relates many such testimonies, across many traditions, worldwide, in the book "The End of the Mystery"). Here is an illustration of the celestial sphere in the neighborhood of the ENP, with the precession circle of 23.5 degrees radius around it:</strong><br></br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-f0HrR55Vunw/YHm4iH40yCI/AAAAAAAAASc/OQdQ2ri43X8lLjNjgFtv8_h1pOtL4TMggCLcBGAsYHQ/s368/enp%2Bchance%2B1.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="320" data-original-height="283" data-original-width="368" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-f0HrR55Vunw/YHm4iH40yCI/AAAAAAAAASc/OQdQ2ri43X8lLjNjgFtv8_h1pOtL4TMggCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/enp%2Bchance%2B1.jpg"/></a></div>
<strong>The ENP is the red dot in the center of the circle, and one can see it is very near the center of the pattern of stars formed by Xi, Epsilon, Psi 1 and Zeta, all in the constellation Draco. These stars form a rhombus, or truncated pyramid shape. The symmetry of that shape is indicated in the figure by the black lines (actually great circles on the sphere), which are the perpendicular bisectors of the top and bottom lines of the rhombus -- one can see they are very nearly the same (they diverge by only one-half of a degree). The ENP point is within 0.5 degree of the center of that pattern. The stars making up the pattern are all among the 1200 or so brightest stars in the sky, and finding the ENP so near the center of such a symmetric pattern is quite unexpected, but this is just the beginning. For example--just to provide some of the wider, worldwide context this has in myth -- the author has been able to prove that the image of the precession circle on the "heavenly" sphere represented the "home of the gods", and the "garden of the gods", in every major tradition studied to date. It was, for example, the "garden of Eden", with Draco representing the serpent in the garden; it was also the "garden of Idun" in Norse myth, and the "garden of Inanna" in Mesopotamian -- all of these had a “tree of life” in the center, whose central “trunk” represented the ENP, and whose “crown” was the surrounding precession circle. It was Hyperborea and Olympus in the Greek, Asgard in the Norse, Swarga in India, Xian in China, the Duat in Egypt. It was the "many-pointed lotus" of creation in both India and Egypt (just as Olympus was "many-peaked", and Xian and the Duat were likewise characterized as being surrounded by mountain peaks--these "peaks" being just the successive CNP points around the circle). The End of the Mystery tells much more about this “blessed land” of myth.</strong><br></br>
<strong>This placement of the ENP among the stars also dictates other uncanny placements on the celestial sphere. Another anciently known plane among the stars, besides the ecliptic, is the galactic plane. Here is an illustration of the area where the ecliptic and the galactic planes cross on one side of the celestial sphere:</strong><br></br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bp4QykWa86Y/YHm4pQu4QhI/AAAAAAAAASg/ZRYcHLmTJ4ov67p27KJgU13-c41dLPh6ACLcBGAsYHQ/s660/enp%2Bchance%2B2.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="320" data-original-height="340" data-original-width="660" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bp4QykWa86Y/YHm4pQu4QhI/AAAAAAAAASg/ZRYcHLmTJ4ov67p27KJgU13-c41dLPh6ACLcBGAsYHQ/s320/enp%2Bchance%2B2.jpg"/></a></div>
<strong>The galactic plane is the horizontal line through the center of the image just above, and the ecliptic is the black line crossing it, at an angle of almost exactly 60 degrees (60.189). These images illustrate a galactic alignment, with the galactic north pole (GNP) on the north pole of the sphere, and its equatorial plane on the equator. (The lines of galactic latitude and longitude are overlain to emphasize the longitude where the ecliptic crosses the galactic plane.) Again, there are many associations of this area with elements in many myths around the world, but we won't go into them here; we will only state that this is a critically important spot on the heavenly sphere according to ancient testimonies. The main concern here is to note that there is a clear, inverted "finger" in the outline of the Milky Way, that points very closely to the galactic longitude of the ecliptic/Milky Way crossing--the tip of the "finger" is just 0.02 degrees off the line to the crossing point. Note too that the Milky Way narrows to a unique, small "neck" just at this point, and the crossing point is very near the midline of the "neck" (in other words, at this point, the Milky Way is spread out nearly equally to either side of the galactic equator, which is not the case in other spots, as the larger illustration shows).</strong><br></br>
<strong>There is also an implied precession circle around the ecliptic south pole (ESP), the antipodal point to the ENP. In this area we find the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, galactic remnants on the celestial sphere:</strong><br></br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-k-FcmhCotk8/YHm4soeVXhI/AAAAAAAAASk/8eAmpuI2wwM4f7uIux-LpZ2zB-LDbO1ggCLcBGAsYHQ/s504/enp%2Bchance%2B3.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" height="320" data-original-height="504" data-original-width="305" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-k-FcmhCotk8/YHm4soeVXhI/AAAAAAAAASk/8eAmpuI2wwM4f7uIux-LpZ2zB-LDbO1ggCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/enp%2Bchance%2B3.jpg"/></a></div>
<strong>In the above, the Large Magellanic Cloud is located just beside the ESP, and the Small Magellanic Cloud, or SMC, is located on the rim of the 23.5 degree circle around the ESP. In fact, the SMC is shaped with an actual pointer to the circle, and to its center. As the bottom image shows, the sides of the pointer cross right on the circle (at 23.507 degrees from the ESP) and the pointer is oriented very closely toward the ESP itself (the bisector of the pointer passes just 0.43 degrees off the ESP). Furthermore, if we consider the symmetric pattern of stars around the ENP, and its center point, we find that the SMC pointer passes just 0.05 degrees from it (and from the point antipodal to that center point).</strong><br></br>
<strong>It is not difficult to calculate the separate probabilities for the above close placements, at points of demonstrably critical importance either to ancient or modern observers. We will come to those calculations shortly, but first there is one more view to consider.</strong><br></br>
<strong>The author has shown, from the very names given to the image of the northern precession circle, that the famous oriental "yin/yang" symbol, or "tai chi", also came from the disposition of stars around the ENP. Here is an illustration of the "tai chi" overlain on the precession circle:</strong><br></br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8sk08GHlLYU/YHm4vu-GeDI/AAAAAAAAASo/Ol3IsPBgsiM5hx3dn5Jj07T8cu5DlWlmACLcBGAsYHQ/s508/enp%2Bchance%2B4.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" height="320" data-original-height="508" data-original-width="307" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8sk08GHlLYU/YHm4vu-GeDI/AAAAAAAAASo/Ol3IsPBgsiM5hx3dn5Jj07T8cu5DlWlmACLcBGAsYHQ/s320/enp%2Bchance%2B4.jpg"/></a></div>
<strong>The bottom image shows how the "S" curve of the tai chi, interior to the outer circle, is generated by considering two circles having just half the radius of the outer circle. With the outer circle's radius of 23.5 degrees, these smaller circles have a radius of 11.75 degrees. Considering only the "S" curve and outer circle in the upper image, the lines of the "tai chi" closely overlie the stars Epsilon, Theta, Iota and Alpha (which is called Thuban). Epsilon is 0.255 degrees off the curve, Theta is 0.074 degrees off, Iota 0.148 degrees, and Alpha is both 0.484 degrees off the "S" and 0.138 degrees off the outer circle. The improbability of each of these close matches occurring by chance is calculated by comparing their displacements from the "tai chi" lines with the average separation between stars. Again, the stars involved are all among the 1200 (actually 1204) brightest stars, so we need only consider that number. We can closely estimate the average separation of these stars on the celestial sphere by calculating the angular diameter of a region occupying just 1/1200th of the sphere. Assuming a circle, the radius--or half the average stellar separation--works out to 3.3 degrees, which should be reduced slightly (since contiguous circles won't cover the sphere completely, i.e., they need to overlap slightly). Given a supposed arbitrary line (a line of the "tai chi" symbol) passing "close" to a given star--closer to it than its nearest neighbor--the probability that the star is by chance alone within a given small distance of the line is, on average, just that distance divided by half the average distance between neighboring stars, or approximately 3 degrees. The probability that Epsilon is .255 degrees off the tai chi line by chance alone is thus .255/3, or 0.085. The probability that Theta is .074 degrees off is .0247; the probability Iota is .148 degrees off, .049; and the probability Alpha is .484 degrees off, .161. The separate probability that Alpha is just .138 degrees off the outer circle is .138/3, or 0.046.[see note at end of this text--HDH] The probability that all of these happened by chance is the product of their separate probabilities, or about 7.6E-7--about 1 in a million.</strong><br></br>
<strong>The separate probabilities that the SMC should so precisely mark the circle around the ESP, and point so closely to the ESP, are easily calculated, and their product is 1.16E-7, or about 1 in 10 million. And the probability that the ecliptic/Milky Way crossing should be so closely marked by the galactic outline "finger" is .02/180, or about 1 in 10 thousand. We could also factor in the probability that the crossing should occur so close to the midline of a unique "neck" in the galactic outline just here, but the discussion it would require is not necessary, as we are already dealing in astoundingly small probabilities for all these matches, all of them directly due to the position of the ENP on the celestial sphere. We do need to note that the probability that the ENP should be within .5 (.477) degrees of the center of the symmetric pattern of stars surrounding it is only 1.73E-5.</strong><br></br>
<strong>Therefore, the total probability (based on the above considerations alone) for chance placement of the ENP where we now find it is no more than about 1.7E-22, or about 2 in ten thousand million million million.</strong><br></br>
<strong>When this is viewed in the context of a world full of myths about a former succession of suns, or of "twin" Suns, or the past or prophesied "death" of a Sun, it is clear that a re-formation of the solar system, deliberately placing the ENP where we now find it, was performed. In fact, the design of the "gods" involved the projection of the celestial sphere onto the Earth sphere, in a series of mappings, and at least four of these mappings rather precisely show where the ENP was on the celestial sphere before the re-formation took place. These mappings, and the indicated former ENP, are considered in the author’s book, The End of the Mystery. The re-orbiting, and perhaps first appearance of some, of the planets was remembered in Greek myth as the "birth of the new gods".</strong><br></br>
<strong>Note: Some statisticians may take exception to the author’s inclusion, in the main text, of the probability that the star Thuban in Draco is .138 degrees off the northern precession circle, and the probability that the Small Magellanic Cloud’s “pointer” is just .007 degrees off the southern precession circle. It might be argued that these factors depend on the size of the precession circle, rather than the position of the ENP per se. It is my position that the precession circles, north and south, are inextricably “attached” to the ecliptic axis, and we have to account for Thuban’s and the SMC’s improbable positions so near the rims of their respective circles. The real question here is whether it is correct to use 23.5 degrees for the radius of the precession circles: Modern theorists, after Milankovitch, claim the very-long-term average value of the obliquity is about 23.1 or 23.2 degrees. However, the author’s experience with the design, and the evidence of past observations of the obliquity going back to the first millennium BC, indicate that 23.5 degrees is the more likely value--it is certainly the most likely value built into the design: The SMC pointer argues for 23.5 degrees almost exactly, while overlaying the “tai chi” on the northern stars indicates a value of 24 degrees, very closely, but a circle of 23.5 degrees still matches the stars well, as shown in the text, and it does so substantially better than does 23.1 degrees. The obliquity has been observed to be within .0833 degrees of 23.5 degrees since about 879 AD, and even the far more ancient value of 23.856 degrees (or 23º 51' 20"), quoted by Ptolemy (c. 139 AD) and claimed by him as the value also observed by his predecessors Hipparchus (c. 125 BC) and Timocharis (c. 282 BC) -- this value also being claimed for Aristarchus (c. 260 BC) by Copernicus (c. 1525 AD) -- is only 0.356 degrees from 23.5 degrees. In short, the author would prefer to withhold judgment on the values in the modern Milankovitch theory, and not consider them authoritative as yet, and prefers to work with the values indicated by the design and ancient testimonies, as well as by all the (admittedly relatively recent) observations. The author argues in "The End of the Mystery" that it seems likely that the obliquity only varies about 0.3 degrees to either side of about 23.5 degrees, rather than 1.3 degrees to either side of 23.1 degrees as the modern theory claims. The author does not insist upon this -- and evaluating the probabilites discussed in the text using a precession circle of radius 23.1 degrees still results in a determination (of about 1 in a million million million) against chance positioning of the ENP -- but considers it probable. One must dispassionately conclude that the solar system was intentionally re-formed and re-oriented. Such intentional design can and does explain other well-known, improbable observations, such as that the size of the Moon in the sky is so nearly exactly the same size as the Sun (the former averages 0.527 degrees apparent diameter, the latter 0.533 degrees). The intended meaning of this situation -- deemed merely a “cosmic coincidence” by modern science thus far -- is explained in "The End of the Mystery".</strong><br></br>

Fifteen years ago -- before this blog was created -- I wrote the following article, of an independent confirmation, of my discovery of the Great Design of the "gods", and put it on a lulu.com site, where I was then trying to sell my book, "The End of the Mystery". I later abandoned that site, when I re-presented my book in two volumes, on createspace.com and through them amazon.com. I only just discovered the article has been deleted from lulu.com, and so I re-publish it here:<br></br>
<strong>The author’s book The End of the Mystery reveals that the Earth and solar system were re-formed, according to a great design, less than 20,000 years ago (between 20,000 and 10,000 years ago, roughly). This amazing discovery immediately answers many problems in current science that have simply not been noticed, or not appreciated as critical problems, until now.</strong><br></br>
<strong>Imagine, for example, that I had come forth a hundred years ago with the claim that the "gods" of ancient myth were real, and had remade the surface of the Earth, thus moving whole continents to enable a great design. Scientists could, and would, have laughed, and pointed out with derision that there was not the slightest evidence of a grand past movement of the continents over the Earth, as required by my claim. But surprise, surprise, in the ensuing hundred years the idea of just such wholesale continental movement was in fact brought forward, as early as 1912, along with serious, objective evidence in support of it. The idea was so outlandish, even without claims of design, that it took fifty years for science to finally embrace it, and call it one of the greatest discoveries ever made in science. The idea was slow in acceptance because the geophysicists for long could agree on no physical cause for such movements; even today, with the theory of plate tectonics hailed as the linchpin of all the earth sciences, there are fundamental questions about the real cause of the observed continental rifting. There is a minor revolution going on now (see http://www.mantleplumes.org) among those who claim that the deep mantle magma plumes crucial to the present theory do not exist, and that there must be rather a "top-down" cause, originating in the upper crust itself, for the many igneous "hot spots" observed or inferred on our globe. In the context of such fundamental disagreement, my discovery of a verifiable design shows that no chance-produced and complex physical mechanism--either of continuously cycling interior magma currents or of mysterious "top-down" mechanisms (one of which will be mentioned shortly here)--is needed.</strong><br></br>
<strong>In the course of my research into the design, many famous ancient mysteries have been unexpectedly and authoritatively answered. One of these is the ancient belief in the dodecahedral design of the Earth, mentioned by Socrates and taught by Pythagoras. This is the first of my findings I have found to have been independently confirmed by other professional research scientists, although they have thus far failed to recognize it as a deliberate design, instead calling it a "self-organization" of the Earth's crust. Modern science has invented many euphemistic terms to avoid recognizing design in the natural world, and "self-organization" is one of the leading such euphemisms.</strong><br></br>
<strong>Scientific verification of the dodecahedron design of Earth's landmasses can be found in the article ""Truncated-icosahedral breakup of Laurasia and Gondwana and anorogenic magmatism" (by James W. Sears, Gregory M. St. George & J. Chris Winne, University of Montana, Missoula MT 59812), available on the internet at <a href="http://www.mantleplumes.org/EarthTess.html">EarthTess1</a>. On that site, a small image resembling a soccer ball, with the caption "Self-Organization," links to another page with a further link to this article.</strong><br></br>
<strong>The abstract, or introductory summary, of this paper, reads:</strong><br></br>
<strong>"The large-scale rift systems that broke apart the Laurasian and Gondwanan supercontinents conform to the precise dimensions of a truncated-icosahedral tessellation of the Earth's surface, with triple junctions separated by 23° along great-circle arcs, and rift segments intersecting at 120° and 108°. The rift tessellations provide a minimum edge-length and therefore a least-work configuration for the fracturing of a spherical shell. Anorogenic magmatic provinces, including flood basalts, anorthosite, and granite-rhyolite and some hotspots evolved along the rift edges, especially at triple junctions. The brittle fracture pattern favors a top-down tectonic origin for some large igneous outbreaks."</strong><br></br>
<strong>The "truncated-icosahedral" pattern these scientists found looks like this over the whole sphere:</strong><br></br>

<strong>It is a "truncated" form of the regular icosahedron, a solid with 20 facets and each facet an equilateral triangle. The truncated form has 20 hexagonal facets and 12 pentagonal ones, arranged in precise pattern. Below are images of the regular icosahedron, on the left drawn over the truncated form, and on the right by itself:</strong><br></br>

<strong>The regular icosahedron has 12 vertexes, where the truncated form has 12 pentagons (formed by the truncation of those vertexes). Both forms have the same basic symmetry, of 12 equivalent axes distributed over the whole sphere. They share this same symmetry with the dodecahedron, which is a 12-faceted regular solid, with each facet a regular pentagon:</strong><br></br>

<strong>The finding by Sears et al. of a precise truncated-icosahedral pattern in the breakup of the one-time supercontinents thus confirms the dodecahedral design of the Earth’s surface. As a matter of fact, although their findings deal with the positions of landmasses at the time of the breakup, their illustrations of the truncated-icosahedral tessellation they found agree well with the primary dodecahedron pattern I found from the Great Mapping of the “gods” and the present positions of the landmasses. Here is an illustration from my book of the dodecahedron design:</strong><br></br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SdaIoMnahsY/YHbgPpGzqEI/AAAAAAAAASM/s7INk8i98PshZWmu8fUdUMWi9VOJ_NEfACLcBGAsYHQ/s622/earth%2Bdesign.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="320" data-original-height="298" data-original-width="622" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SdaIoMnahsY/YHbgPpGzqEI/AAAAAAAAASM/s7INk8i98PshZWmu8fUdUMWi9VOJ_NEfACLcBGAsYHQ/s320/earth%2Bdesign.jpg"/></a></div>
<strong>The Earth dodecahedron shows pentagons centered on the north and south poles, and on the South Atlantic and Indian oceans (as well as the Atlantic). The illustrations of Sears et al. in his two articles on the breakup of Laurasia and Gondwana specifically show pentagons on the South Atlantic and Indian oceans, as well as outlining Antarctica, centered on the south pole. So Sears et al. have found essentially the same dodecahedral pattern I found, the pattern that is observable and verifiable today. The deliberate design of the Earth I found has been confirmed by scientists who had no idea of my discoveries, and who do not even interpret their finding as evidence of design. The design is thus an objective fact, independent of the observer and of any supposed personal prejudice or subjective agenda.</strong><br></br>
<strong>Epilogue:</strong><br></br>
<strong>Consensus scientists, including Sears et al., will insist that the precise tessellation of the Earth’s landmasses does not prove intentional design by some past superpower. Actually, such scientists as I have tried to inform of the design have not responded, or not confronted the idea and the overwhelming evidence for it. I first came upon the mantleplumes.org site, and the article by Sears et al. mentioned in the above text, in March 2005 (either March 19th or 20th, as I have a record of e-mailing the site on March 20th, after a quick reading of some of the material on the site). I attempted to communicate to three different e-mail addresses at this time. First, I e-mailed Dr. Sears, informing him of my prior finding of design and trying to explain why in fact his findings indicated a deliberate design rather than an undirected [i.e., not intelligently directed] breakup event. I wrote, in part:</strong><br></br>
<strong>“What would it take for you to be open to a serious consideration that the breakup of the Laurasian and Gondwanan supercontinents, according to a precise truncated-icosahedral tessellation, indicates nothing less than a deliberate design? It seems clear to me, for example, that there is a more obvious point to be made than that such a tessellation provides for a least-work fracturing of the Earth sphere, as you and your co-authors emphasize; it is that it must be very, very, very highly unlikely that an undirected natural process could deliver the proper blow to trigger such a precise, resonant breakup of the spherical crust, by what would have to be a pure icosahedral, or dodecahedral, normal mode vibration of the entire body of the Earth--for that is the only physical context in which a “least-work” argument can properly be raised: A single, complex, precise flexing of the entire surface. Furthermore, in any undirected scenario there were, and are, many fracturing events, and it is highly unlikely that such a perfect “bell-ringing” tessellation should stand out so clearly from the noisy background of the majority of fracturing episodes. Even further, the universal ancient testimony of mankind was that the world was deliberately designed, according to precise and sacred number and geometry--and the ancient mathematical tradition passed down by the Pythagoreans particularly claimed the Earth was made to a dodecahedron design, which has the same symmetry as the icosahedral tessellation you have recognized. In short, yours is but the latest revelation in precisely the same tradition as the ancient mystery traditions.</strong><br></br>
<strong>“That the continental breakup was due to deliberate design is not in fact even an arguable point, from my perspective, for I have already shown that the surface of the Earth was deliberately re-formed, less than 20,000 years ago (according to both ancient records and to the design itself, which tells a coherent ancient story, or history, and can be proved to have given rise to many of the world’s myths about the “gods” of old--and indeed, to have initiated all of the once-sacred ancient traditions that I have yet studied). I have also uncovered the dodecahedral design in the present configuration of the continents. There is far more to the design, and it is far better attested by every variety of evidence, than the tessellation you have recognized.</strong><br></br>
<strong>“Please note, I am not talking about “creation of the world” by “God,” I am talking about a re-formation of the continents by an advanced people attested to by ancient man, worldwide, as the “gods” who once ruled the Earth; the former may be outside the province of physical science, but the latter is not. I am a physicist, unbound and unmotivated by any dogma....”</strong><br></br>
<strong>I never got a response from Dr. Sears to this communication; I do not know if he even received it. When I decided to write this article, in late November or early December 2006, I revisited the mantleplumes.org site, and found a second article by Dr. Sears (at <a href="http://wwww.mantleplumes.org/EarthTess2.html">EarthTess2.html</a>, in which he emphasized the tessellation he found as a “self-organization” of the Earth’s crust, and he gave examples of the icosahedron occurring in nature:</strong><br></br>
<strong>“Comparison of the Gondwanan tessellation with other natural examples of icosahedral arrangements provides insight into the Gondwanan fracture process. In nature, collections of particles commonly surface a sphere in icosahedral patterns. These include blastocysts, colloids, quasi-crystals, florets, and numerous icosahedral viruses, including wart, herpes, polio, and HIV....”</strong><br></br>
<strong>However, he failed to take note that in all of his examples, the icosahedral pattern was inherent in the development or formation of the body involved. This is not the case with the Earth, for which the pattern is specifically seen as appearing only with the breakup of a supercontinent. The Earth did not develop as a living organism (blastocysts, viruses), nor as a single supercrystal with icosahedral structure. Again, the Earth’s crust would only break apart in such a precise and complete geometric pattern if the causative force were such as to excite an icosahedral resonant mode of vibration in the crust, of sufficient strength to crack the entire spherical surface of the Earth, practically instantaneously (limited only by the speed of sound within the crustal material), into the complex icosahedral pattern. In other words, the Earth would have to have been rung like a bell, with a precise force precisely applied. Lacking such a precise blow, the crust could have been rifted into any number of pieces, making the argument of minimum edge-length irrelevant, for the total edge length of the tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron and icosahedron tessellations would each be less than that of the truncated icosahedron. The very great unlikelihood of a truncated-icosahedron-producing natural blow--totally swamping the effects of any and all previous and subsequent cosmic blows--occurring by chance alone, in itself indicates only design could be responsible for the breakup of the supercontinents. Sears envisions the force to be that of an expanding mantle beneath the crust, but that would not be sufficient to enforce a precise tessellation.</strong><br></br>
<strong>I also e-mailed the mantleplumes.org site, on March 20, 2005. I had read, among other articles on that site, an article by one Gillian Foulger, in which she made the strong point:</strong><br></br>
<strong>“The plume hypothesis as it is applied today requires that Earth dynamics is driven by two independent modes of convection -- plate tectonics and plumes. The former is driven by forces at plate boundaries..., and the other is driven by heat from the Earth’s core. The new theory suggests that only one of these is needed -- plate tectonics. ... The possibility of such a radical simplification alone is a strong hint that...something important may be going on here.”</strong><br></br>
<strong>After mentioning this statement and the icosahedral tessellation found by Sears et al., I wrote to the site:</strong><br></br>
<strong>“Ladies and gentlemen of science, the ‘top-down’ origin Sears et al. envision goes much higher, and far deeper, than they imagine. Books on earth science are fond of reminding the reader that continental drift was first envisioned by the simple observation that the Atlantic coasts of South America and Africa simply look like they once fitted together. But what generations now of earth scientists have failed to notice is that such apparent fitting-together is not the primary visual characteristic of the landmasses of the Earth. Rather (and of course you will not believe this, at first), a dispassionate consideration of those landmasses reveals that they exhibit an abundance of creature-like shapes, generally incomplete or otherwise ambiguous, but many quite stunning. But here is the kicker: There are a score or more of such images to be seen, in every continent and larger island, and save for one or two, they are all upright on the globe, with north defined as ‘up.’ If you turn the globe upside-down, all resemblance of the coastlines to creature shapes disappears. (The only exception is Australia, which, upside-down, looks like a sheep dog.) I am not claiming that the Earth’s surface was deliberately reformed, and continents broken up, moved, and reshaped by design, on the sole basis of the above--although I do insist, strongly, that the uniformly upright orientation of the creature-like images on the Earth does in fact prove that they were designed, not randomly formed. But even I did not come to that conclusion by simply observing those images. I first found a symmetric pattern among the stars surrounding the ecliptic north pole (which is in fact the approximate axis of the entire solar system, and can reasonably be taken to be that axis). I found that that pattern was of central, religious importance to the civilization of ancient Egypt, and that it was but the central element of a wider pattern that was the keystone in the most ancient traditions of peoples the world over. I found, in other words, the original sacred images of mankind, in the sky and on the Earth, the common source of all the so-called ‘ancient mysteries’.</strong><br></br>
<strong>“I found that the Earth’s landmasses had been reformed to enable the deliberate mapping of the celestial sphere onto the Earth sphere. The landmasses enabled not just one, but a series of such mappings...”</strong><br></br>
<strong>After a paragraph in which I described with clear, objective examples the design I found, I continued:</strong><br></br>
<strong>“The bottom line is this: Despite the current antipathy of the scientific consensus to the idea of large-scale design of the world, it is a fact, which I, an independent researcher for the last ten years, and a hard scientist with many years of research experience in both the academic and high-tech industrial sectors, have already proven. Until the scientific consensus confronts and accepts the new facts, it is, to put it bluntly, incompetent working at the front line of human knowledge. The discovery by Sears et al. of a rigorous tessellation of the Earth, the true importance of which they and other scientists have characteristically and utterly failed to appreciate, only underscores my amazing, epochal discoveries of the design of the Earth, and indeed of the entire solar system--the physical truth behind mankind’s defining history of religiously-held beliefs. Plate tectonics as you yet conceive it has been invalidated, and generations of earth scientists have been--with reference to Isaac Newton’s famous self-appraisal--like children, playing with pretty stones on the beach, while before them stretched the true ocean of knowledge, unplumbed, unsuspected, and even denied by them, when it is pointed out.”</strong><br></br>
<strong>I got no response from mantleplumes.org either.</strong><br></br>
<strong>Now my argument about the creature images is detailed in my book. I observed those images, in the context of the world design I had found, as early as the latter part of 1997, and wrote about them as early as 1998. In January 2003, after writing my book, I sent that argument in a letter to Science magazine to announce my discoveries. I got no response from them, nor from any of my repeated attempts to communicate my discoveries to the scientific community, and I have received no meaningful or competent response to date from any scientist I have contacted. (Alternative researchers have also avoided confronting my discoveries and the overwhelming evidence I have brought forward--I have not been able to get published in alternative publications like Atlantis Rising or Nexus, any more than in peer-reviewed science journals. The minds of all have been uniformly closed.)</strong><br></br>
<strong>As already mentioned, the dodecahedron and icosahedron have much the same symmetry, and there is an additional, and quite important, point to be made with that in mind. I also communicated, in late March 2005, with a theorist named Findlay, who puts forward (as do a few other independent researchers) an “expanding Earth” theory to explain the geological evidence of the Earth. I noted that he had written to the mantleplumes.org site, “In the face of the tantalising empirical evidence for expansion it makes no sense to ignore this conclusion even though a physical cause for it is not yet obvious. Hopefully, to a ‘prepared mind’ somewhere, it will be.”</strong><br></br>
<strong>I therefore e-mailed Mr. Findlay and informed him, in part: “I can tell you the cause of the global Earth changes, and indeed it is obvious, more obvious than any evidence I have seen anywhere, outside of my own research. No one wants to hear it, and I don’t expect the geologists to exhibit my comment to them on their site...”, and I sent him what I had communicated to the mantleplumes.org site concerning my discoveries of design, at the end of which I added: “...so the new paradigm is not simply that the Earth is expanding, or even that it has expanded in the past; it is that the Earth was re-formed--designed--as a record of the ‘gods.’ I find it interesting that they may have ‘raised up’ (expanded) the Earth itself, as myths say they ‘raised up’ the sky. But design is the key.”</strong><br></br>
<strong>I got no response from Mr. Findlay either. Now my work is independent of any “expanding Earth” theory, nor have I looked into it at all, except for that one important point I mentioned: In his papers, Sears gave the single edge length exhibited in the truncated-icosahedral tessellation as 23.28 degrees. In the regular dodecahedron design of the Earth I found, the edge length is some 41.81 degrees. Now, in the context of a possible expansion of the Earth, the truncated-icosahedral pattern can be formed from the regular dodecahedron by an expansion of the surface, with the individual pentagons of the dodecahedron separating from one another on the expanding surface and coming into the truncated-icosahedral pattern, with the pentagons separated by hexagonal areas. In other words, if the expansion was done to deliberately transform a dodecahedron into a truncated-icosahedron--or to imply such a process--then the radius of the Earth would have been expanded from its initial value to 41.81/23.28 times that value, or 1.8 times its original value. Since the Earth radius is now some 3,963 miles, its original radius would have been some 2,200 miles.</strong><br></br>
<strong>2,200 miles is just the radius of the Earth’s core, as established by modern science.</strong><br></br>
<strong>So a deliberate world design, involving either a real or an implied expansion of the Earth to enable transforming a dodecahedron into a truncated icosahedron, explains the precise relative radii of the Earth and its core.</strong><br></br>
