The Geometry of Ancient Sites

Part Two

by Charles William Johnson

Now, let us draw parallel lines to the previous mid-point line, thereby establishing lines that appear to reflect the general angle of inclination of the outline of the continents. From this angular view, one should note as many relevant relationships as possible. For example, notice how Easter Island aligns with the natural cut-off point of the northernmost tip of the northern continent (around Alaska). Also, notice the angular relationship between Greenland and the western tip of Africa, and the western coast of the United States with the southern tip of South America. The abstracted geometrical design easily follows the sense of movement of the tectonic plates in their apparent formation patterns.

Geometrically Abstracted North Northeast/South Southwest Angle of Inclination of Continents (12)

In the previous view, similar corridors of relevancy appear. For example, notice the relationship between the eastern border of Greenland and the southern tip of South America; the alignment of the western part of continental Europe with the Western tip of Africa; and, the alignment between the easternmost tip of Russia near the Bering Strait in relation to the eastern side of the continent of Australia. These corridors are suggestive of the angle of inclination of the Earth's axis. A composite view of the two previous illustrations would be reflective of the interplay of the Earth's axis as follows.

Geometrically Abstracted Angles of Inclination of the Continents (13)

Further visualizations become available, however, there are far too many to illustrate in such a short essay. Consider, nevertheless, the axis-like path running along the major river basin of the Mississippi River (along the path of Poverty Point), as it traverses the southernmost tip of the continent of South America. That same pathway on a parallel line in traversing the other major river basins shown would yield the following view. One can only note how the many sites along the corridor of England (UK) lies along the pathway of the mouth of the Niger River, along with other relevant cases, far too many to mention here.

Angle of Inclination of Poverty Point Area Corridor (14)

Angle of Inclination of Easter Island/Giza Corridor (15)

In the previous view, further relationships make their appearance as of the angle of inclination achieved by the corridor between Easter Island and the Giza area. One can observe the relationship between the southernmost tip of the continent of Africa and the northern tip of the Antarctic around Bransfield Strait.

Were we to continue the abstracted geometrical reasoning within the implied design, then one could imagine drawing a line between the eastern side of Greenland and the western tip of the African continent, which would intersect with the angle of inclination from the Poverty Point line. Then, from that point of intersection, a line could be drawn towards Eastern Island, which would basically traverse the southern tip of South America. One thereby obtains the view of specific corridors mapped out in nature, which are being identified by the placement of the ancient sites.

Extended Corridors as of the Basic Design Implied by Ancient Sites (16)

The additions of other lines/corridors within the logic of the abstracted geometrical figure could then be triangulated on the grid delineated by the different sites. Innumerable relationships develop, which are far too many to discuss at this point.

One may further visualize the geometry of design as of a timeline, whereby we conceive of the spinning Earth, revolving on its axis. In this manner, a particular corridor or pathway between the different sites may be extended until it reaches its own starting point. Therefore, we may visualize the corridor running from the Poverty Point area to the area of Giza, and onward to the Yangtze River area. For that we should repeat the map of the Earth in order to see what kind of visual geometrical patterns obtain.

The Poverty Point/Yangtze River Area Corridor (17)

Now, if we were to mark off the corridors from the area of the Mesoamerican sites to the Giza site, which would represent roughly one-third of the distance around the globe, then one could visualize drawing three circles along these corridors as follows.

The Basic Unit of Measurement between Mesoamerican Sites (El mirador) and the Giza Area (18)

Carl P. Munck points out the site of El mirador (Guatemala), as being exactly one-third of the distance of the globe from Giza ["120 degrees of longitude separate Guatemala from Egypt and 120 is 1/3rd of the 360^o earth", from The Code Newsletter #51]. The previously drawn illustration could exemplify this particular case. Although exactness is wanting in our own illustration, the geometrically abstracted idea is therein reflected. The significant point would be to find the path marked by the dividing line of the two circles between Giza and El mirador as shown by the perpendicular line crossing the corridor.

By employing other units of measurements between different sites, other geometrically abstracted patterns would obtain. For example, consider the Vesica Piscis pattern that obtains from the Easter Island Giza relationship.

Basic Unit of Measurement Easter Island/Giza: Vesica Piscis (19)

The Nazca-Palpa site in relation to Giza produces a distinctive geometrical pattern based on an ecliptic-like pattern.

The Nazca-Palpa Site/Giza Site Basic Unit of Measurement (20)

The Teotihuacan/Giza basic unit of measurement produces another Vesica Piscis pattern.

Teotihuacan/Giza Basic Unit of Measurement (21)

The Poverty Point area and the Easter Island corridor, when serving as the basic unit of measurement, produce another ecliptic-like image.

Poverty Point/Easter island Basic Unit of Measurement (22)

The most interesting point about these geometrically abstracted designs is that they all mark off either the Tropic of Cancer or the Equator, at the point of intersection. Again, we may thus observe how the placement of the sites and their relationship by interconnecting corridors or paths may be designating significant forces in nature. One may conceptualize the reflection of certain force fields, as they may be termed today.

Our work in the series of essays and extracts of Earth/matriX: Science in Ancient Artwork, has been mainly concerned with the basic designs within the ancient artwork itself. We have not contemplated, as in this essay, the relationship among the different sites. However, if we were to take the geometrically developed patterns illustrated as of the patterns coming out of the corridors from the different sites, we just might visualize the basic design of the Great Pyramid.

For this illustrated view, let us take the basic unit of measurement the distance of the corridor between the Poverty Point area and the Giza plateau. As we mark off circles using this basic measurement, a series of circles may be drawn on the time-line. We may then connect the points where the circles intersect among themselves. And, then, we may further draw a triangle in the following manner.

We have drawn the triangle so that the center-point is Giza itself, i.e., the Great Pyramid sits at the very center of the design. Furthermore, the angle of inclination of the triangle drawn in this illustration approaches that of the Great Pyramid itself (ca. 51.5 degrees).

Observations

The ancient sites appear to be placed on a geodesic grid or matrix that encompasses the entire globe in such a manner as to establish a relationship with the natural features of planet Earth. With a line drawn from the mouth of the Mississippi River to the mouth of the Yangtze River, and another line drawn from the mouth of the Yangtze River to the mouth of the Amazon River the relationship of proportional distances takes on significant meaning.

The mouth of the Amazon River appears just below the 1/3:2/3 mark on the corridor between the Mississippi and Nile basins. The flow of the Nile River appears to cut the corridor between the mouths of the Yangtze and the Amazon in half. The Euphrates River points towards dividing that same line into a 1/3:2/3 proportion. And, the Niger River divides that same line between the mouths of the Amazon and the Yangtze into a proportion of 1/3:2/3 as well.

The Proportional Distances in Relation to the Major River Basins (25)

Our study of the visual patterns established by abstracted geometrical lines drawn between the different ancient sites causes us to consider our own system of evaluation of mathematical data. Generally, if the mathematics do not fit, then one is hesitant to conclude that a particular proposal may be scientific in nature. We rely on numbers to confirm the behavior of matter and energy. Yet, when the numbers match, as in the case of studies such as Carl P. Munck's work, The Code, or, in works such as those of Hugh H. Harleston, Jr., the findings are not always accepted. On the one hand, we depend upon the mathematics to confirm our knowledge. And, on the other hand, we sometimes ignore the mathematics when the outcome is unexpected.

However, the abstracted geometrical lines that we have drawn in the previous illustrations may be easily traced on maps or even on a spherical globe for all to see. The alignment of the sites with specific characteristics of nature on our planet is a visible feature of the ancient system. For all of these cultures to have aligned their sites in a haphazard manner, coincidentally establishing specific geometrical relationships in the manner in which we have observed above, without any contact among themselves, seems highly unlikely.

The work of Hugh H. Harleston, Jr. revealed the predictive nature of the mathematics that he applied in locating isolated markers throughout the Western Hemisphere. The mathematics of Carl P. Munck reflects a predictive feature of suspecting relationships among the different sites. And, the geometry that has been illustrated in these drawings may be translated into those mathematical postulates with little effort. The relationships that have been illustrated in the previous drawings imply other relationships, far too many to discuss in this brief essay. However, the extension of the previously illustrated lines implies many other relationships with other sites. The relationships of the pathways or corridors are not simply abstracted in geometry, but are visibly in relationship to natural features of the Earth (v.gr., the major river basins, plate tectonics, the Earth's axis or angle of inclination, etc.).

The lines, that is, the corridors may possibly be reflecting fields of different forces underlying the Earth's make-up. Many authors have postulated the idea that the ancient sites are situated near certain force fields, such as underground water sources. Just exactly what might those forces be remains to be discerned. But, for the most part we may surmise that the ancient sites were not randomly placed around the globe. The fact that we do not know, or ignore the possible reasons for their placement should not serve us as a reason to deny the possibility of a conscious design or matrix for the ancient sites. Some analysts have gone so far as to suggest that the Great Pyramid, along with all the other pyramids of different ancient sites, are situated so as to maintain the proper revolution and rotation of the Earth on its cosmic orbit within our solar system.

One could envision a scenario where we might unknowingly alter the make-up of these ancient sites and pyramidal constructions to such a degree as to alter our very existence. By then, as we find ourselves whirling haphazardly out into space, we could then see ourselves finally recognizing the reason for the existence of the pyramidal matrix. Naturally, we are being somewhat mischievous in our argument, but exactly how mischievous no one really knows, yet ---except maybe Hugh and Carl.
