Well, we've read where Enki's voice came out of the pyramid (broadcasting)and we see the pictures of these Pharoah's speaking into a tube or something: we know the pyramid was a power producer of some kind, we know water is needed to make geoplasma etc. etc. We know harmonics are used for a great number of things, (crystals to make harmonics) like subliminal messages, lifting heavy objects, maybe bending the gravity field, who knows. Whatever that pyramid had in it and on it in the past, it was pretty varied in it's capacities. Whatever they're hiding, when the truth comes out, I think it will boggle people's minds. Mind you, these spin doctors do have a knack of making the extraordinary seem to be mundane, and they explain things so that THEIR opinion is given first, and whatever comes later is debunked.
I know the asteroid doesn't have anything to do with leylines, but look what the scientists are saying. Objects (arrowheads) are flowing from the poles to the center. What kind of crap is that? I'm not even scientifically inclined, and I can see that asteroid would be a flat object by now if that was happening. So whatever spin they put on their finds in the pyramid, they'll downplay it big time.
Remote viewing has been employed by governments for some time now. New technology allows for side scans, radar scans, etc. etc. You can bet they've known what was under the pyramid for a long time, or think they do. The articles from the newspapers in the 1940's described all sorts of finds, and that was all hushed up and never heard of again. Cayce says the Chamber of Knowledge is under the Sphinx not the pyramid, so the next thing we'll hear is that the Sphinx needs fixing again, and they'll put a 22 foot fence all around it too.

This has nothing to do with ley lines. Just thought I'd stick it in for some fun reading:

SOMEWHERE? LOL, boy can I relate! We’ve moved a lot, and my wife labels dozens of boxes, “Michael’s Weird Books”.
LOL, Sungate, I can relate to that too! I moved to a much smaller place the last time, and about half my books are still out in the storage shed. What a drag! Ever go to look for just one book and have to go through 12 boxes just to find it?

"Well, we've read where Enki's voice came out of the pyramid (broadcasting)and we see the pictures of these Pharaoh's speaking into a tube or something"
Qoais, do you remember where you read that? The same thing is incredibly evident in the Mesopotamian texts that talk about Enlil's temple in Sumer. There are a bunch of texts that talk about Enlil's "Godly voice" issuing out of his temple in Ur, but for the most part, Enlil doesn't even seem to be physically in Ur. He's hanging out as "El" with Baal/Adad at Baalbek, which was apparently rebuilt several different times on the old foundation stones. It's very strange because the Sumerians always treat Enlil like he is omnipotent and all-powerful, but he doesn't really appear to be physically there very much except when he comes for a "royal visit." But as El in Baalbek, which appears to be his real home, he is more like a sort of "wizard of oz" deity, who gets bullied by his children and grandchildren, and really doesn't seem all that powerful. In fact, it seems like for the most part, whatever technology was being used, it's really Baal/Adad who was running the show most of the time.
And it really does seem like people in Sumer heard Enlil's voice like people hear channeling today. The voice or "godly sound" isn't described as anything people hear with their ears. It's only picked up by people who are his close descendants, or the folks who were considered the prophets and seers. There are stories about some poor guy whose mother "was a goddess" and father was just a man, and the guy is praying before Enlil's temple. He doesn't seem to have a psychic bone in his body, but he feels like "the lord had frowned upon him" because he couldn't hear Enlil answer. And this concept seems to be something encouraged by the priests who liked to give the impression that only those who could hear the voice were receiving Enlil's blessings, and those who couldn't, weren’t getting Enlil's approval. It's almost like the only people who could hear Enlil's voice were either his closest direct descendants, or the people that were elevated to the position of a priest or a seer because they could hear it. It really does seem like some sort of religious order based around channeling. The whole thing implies that whether one "heard" Enlil or not was dependent on genetics, and that channeling a god, (they didn't call them "guides" back then) was totally dependent on DNA. In a lot of ways it seemed like it was very akin to ancestor worship and the whole thing was blown totally out of proportion by the priesthoods who seemed inclined to imply that those who could "hear" Enlil were "holy" and those who couldn't were not. The whole thing just gives me the impression that there was both a technical and genetic aspect to what was taking place.
Since it was Thoth who was also known as "Kothar wa Hasis" and "Ningishzidda" who apparently designed most of the temples throughout all the Middle East, I can only assume this same channeling-like phenomenon was going on in Egypt too. If I am right about this, then it must have become as confusing as all get out when the races started to mix, and even worse when the belief in monotheism began.

Sorry KTCat
It was a typo. It was supposed to be Enlil's voice, not Enki's. I was trying to point out that they had some kind of recording device that they used to "broadcast" somehow. In the first picture, the Pharoah's "microphone" is attached to the device that he is touching with his other hand. In the second picture, they either forgot to put it in or they've gone hi-tech and went cordless! But they're both touching the other device. I'm thinking back to the days of mansions, when they had "speaking tubes" with which to communicate to the servants. The butler down in the back kitchen somewhere, could look up on the wall and see a light lit up, so he'd know who was calling down for service. That object the Pharoah's are touching with their other hand may be something that directs the"call" you might say.
Was Marduk not Enki's son? And didn't he argue with the council that it should be he who was GOD next rather than Enlil's son?
I'm trying to remember what Sitchin said about this. I think he explained that because Enki thought he would be made Lord of the Earth, (but wasn't) and Enlil was, Marduk fought all his life to show that it was himself not his cousin who should be next in line.
On a sidenote - the Urantia Book says that Adam and Eve could speak telepathically with their children for up to 50 miles. It doesn't mention if they could do it with anyone else so from that angle it's hereditary. The staff that the Planetary Prince brought with him were also immortals, and I believe they communicated that way. To amplyfy this ability, perhaps they used the Ley Lines.
This business of trying to remember where I read something is getting annoying. I've got 2 and 1/2 walls of my office covered in books, and can't find a darn thing when I want it.!

The View Over Atlantis
John Mitchell
Chapter 2
A 19th century traveler, Mr. W.E. Geil, who visited the Great Mound of Ching, an artificial hill in North China, was told by the local people, “The position of the mound was fixed by men of magic as being auspicious. The dragon pulse, meaning the magnetic currents with which the dragon is connected, is good. The mountain south is a dragon at rest. The river north is the dragon in motion.”
The whole of China south of the Great Wall was formed to a single design, in which the topographical features of the landscape were artificially moulded to produce their conformity with the required pattern. Few Europeans have realized the extent to which the whole face of China was contrived by human art, rivers raised and lowered according to the demands of geomancy.
Many towns were placed on the southern slope of an artificial hill, constructed to provide shelter from unfavorable influences from the north. Of these the greatest is Coal Hill outside of Peking, lying across the main axis of the city. The name Coal or cold as in Cole’s Hill or Coldharbour is commonly found in England in connection with a feature of the ley system, and appears etymologically to indicate a cavern or hollowed hill.
Every year the Emperor ascended Coal Hill with his courtiers, priests and astronomers and made a ritual survey of the great meridian line which divided his kingdom from north to south. On the accurate determination of this line the whole sacred geometry of the country depended. Such hills were the centers of astronomical observation, for the whole system of alignments was closely related to the aspects of the sun, moon and stars. The entire Chinese landscape was irrigated by a network of invisible canals, along which flowed the dragon current, the fusion of the terrestrial current with influences emanating from the heavenly bodies.
(my notes: Like Tara in Ireland)
In China, as in every continent of the world, the dragon chiefly represents the principle of fertility. The creation of the earth and the appearance of life came about as the result of a combination of elements (my notes: Here the work of Wilhelm Riech becomes particularly relevant).
The first living cell was born out of earth, fertilized from the sky by wind and water. From this union of yin and yang sprang the seed which produced the dragon. Every year the same process takes place. The celestial influences restore life to the barren earth, reanimating the minerals from which all vegetation derives its vital energy.
Nourished by the virtue stored up within the minerals of the earth, trees and crops flourish and bear the fruit on which men and animals are sustained. At the year’s end the minerals lose their vitality and fertility wanes.
The legend of the dragon, both in Britain and China, illustrates this cycle. The dragon is born from an egg beneath the water. It grows rapidly, devouring everything within its reach. Finally it is killed by its appointed executioner.
Every aspect of the dragon’s career is represented in stories, songs and dances. The stages of its seasonal growth are celebrated all over the world in rites and festivals which reach their climax at the beginning of winter in the processions that mark the dragon’s death.
In Padstow on the Cornish coast a monstrous figure called the hobby horse is paraded through the streets on the first day of May and at one time was thrown into a pond at nightfall.
A week later a similar procession, the furry dance, takes place at Helston in the same county, and a hundred years ago these ceremonies were widely known all over the west country.
Elsewhere in England, notably at Burford and Norwich, until suppressed by jealous clergymen, seasonal fairs and carnivals were held on the day when the dragon was paraded through the streets.
Of the Christians and angels to whom the feat of killing the dragon came to be attributed, the best known are Saints Michael, George, Catherine and Margaret. Many villages, said to have been the scene of the killing of a dragon, have churches dedicated to one of these. Yet all over England we hear of local, secular figures as the heroes of this act.
Further on…
The places associated with the dragon legend, the nerve centers of seasonal fertility, appear always to coincide with sites of ancient sanctity. Churches on old mounds, flat topped hills, holy springs and wells are pointed out as the scene of a dragon’s life or death.
Towns and headlands along the dragon’s path of the flying worm, lindworm or orm, of which Linton, Ormsby, Wormhill and Great Orm’s Head are typical examples. Many old stones have the same associations. Ruth Manning-Sanders in, “The River Dart,” tells of the local belief in dragons haunting megalithic stone rows and writes, “There is a tradition on Dartmoor that the circles were first set up at a time when winged serpents basked on the logan rocks and flew around the Tors.” Boswell described a stone avenue he saw in Scotland said to have been erected to attract a monstrous sea dragon from its lair.
When visiting some of the mounds, stones and ancient church sites associated with the dragon, it is hard to avoid the impression that they were located according to similar principles adopted by the geomancers of China. There it was said that the dragon’s heart is to be found at a lonely knoll standing in a small plains or valley among the hills. From the central spot the veins of the dragon current run over surrounding ridges. Near the heart its force, pent in by the hills, is strong and active.
At this center the dragon and the tiger, the male and female currents, meet harmoniously. Standing on a prehistoric mound one can look at the landscape with the eye of a geomancer and, perhaps, acquire some insight into the nature of the influences which determined its site.
In view of the existence of an identical belief associating the mounds and stones of both Britain and China with the winged serpent or dragon, it is not unreasonable to compare features of the antique sites of both countries.
The churches of Linton, Brinsop, Sockburn and others of which the dragon legend is related stand on flattened artificial mounds like that once occupied by the Lampton worm. These mounds, like the stone rows and circles from which the form alignments, are typical of those once used in both countries in connection with astronomy.
The mounds, which form the centres of the dragon current in China, were also used for planetary observation, as we know from living tradition and from the survival of the practice into modern times.
In England, as Lockyer shows, sighting mounds were placed to mark the directions of astronomically declinations from stone circles. M. Cotsworth in “The Rational Almanck,” demonstrates how Silbury could have been used as an accurate solar observatory by means of the shadows cast on the carefully leveled plain to the north.
The meridian line from Silbury runs through Avebury church across the artificial plateau, and on this line Cotsworth found the remains of a standing stone carved with a symbol interpreted as a fish. Avebury church may have been placed on a site formerly associated with the dragon, for a medieval carving on the font shows a bishop stabbing an encroaching dragon with his crozier.
Certainly it stands on a ley running between Stonehenge and the stone circle at Winterbourne Abbas and passing through two churches and the eastern slope of Silbury Hill. Sibury is of course, a noted center for alignments of dead straight prehistoric tracks, resurface by the romans, and of standing stones, as shown by a photograph in Tyler’s, “Geometrical Arrangements of Ancient Sites.”
In view of the fact that in China mounds such as Silbury were erected upon “lung-mei,” the paths of the dragon, and reserved for royal burials. There is good reason to suspect that Silbury itself was sited by pre-Celtic Druids on a dragon line with the assistance of a geomancers compass and that any burial it may contain is probably that of a king. It may also be inferred that the Chinese “lung mei,” and the leys of Britain have an identical function, for the Chinese believe that the. “lung mei,” stretch over the entire globe.
Many centres of the English dragon stand at a junction of well marked leys, and in one case at least the straight line between them is of the highest precision, elaborately engineered and of astronomical significance. This is St. Michael’s line that runs from Avebury circle to the extreme west of Cornwall, of which more will be said later.
St Michael and St. George appear to illustrate two aspects of the same principle. The archetype to which they relate is the same as represented by Castor and Polux who directed the mysterious St. Elmo’s fire, a current of etherical electricity over which the Greeks seem to have retained some control even into historical times. St. Michael rules over the high rocky crags and pinnacles and St. George over the lower hills like the white tiger and blue dragon in the Chinese landscape. St. Michael’s shrines are especially characteristic. All over Europe, particularly on the coasts of Britainy and Cornwall, his churches and chapels crown the summits of rocks and mountains. Mont St. Michel in Normandy, the chapel of St. Michel L’Aiguille at Le Puy, the hilltop church of St Michel facing the stone alignments of Carnac, the Celtic monastic church on Skellig Michael, a sheer rock wall off the Irish coast, the chapel on the crag near Torre Abbey, Torquay, Roche rock hermitage, Brenton church, Gare Hill in Wiltshire, all these are typically dramatic examples of St. Michael’s citadels.
It was on such an eminence that he is said to have killed the dragon, and he became a natural successor to the pre-Christian deity, the guardian of the dragon current that he supplanted. Like St. Patrick’s in Ireland, the story of the victory over the dragon or serpent, originally illustrating his control over a natural, elemental force, was taken by early Christians to represent the defeat of the old religion by the new. This selective interpretation hid the dragon’s wider elemental and astrological significance.
It is easy to emphasize a particular aspect of a symbolic figure to suit a particular interpretation. Yet to do so is to misunderstand the whole nature of language in which images such as the dragon have a precise though indefinable meaning.
Symbols are only used where there is no literal expression of sufficient scope to comprehend the principle to which they refer.
The dragon has many attributes and correspondences, none of which can be analyzed in isolation. In Babylonian mythology the primal serpent Tiamat, was killed by her children; in Greece Apollo destroyed the father of the earth, the dragon Python. These are stories from sacred history, extracts from an eloborate astrological record of the cycle of ages. The policy of the Christian Church was to destroy all documents relating to the former system of spiritual science and to suppress the practice of astronomy.
As a result of their rejection of the mysteries and of traditional scholarship, Christian philosophers lost the ability to fully appreciate the nature of the true names, numbers and symbols they had inherited.
Further on…
At certain seasons of the year the dragon passed overhead down a straight line of country, drawing in his wake the fertilizing powers of life. Astronomers observed its passage, astrologers predicted the moment of its appearance, geomancers, Watkin’s dodmen, marked its course with alignments of mounds and stones.
(my notes: here I was reminded of the crop circle phenomenon)
Processions down the line from centre to centre for the annual invocation of the dragon current created straight tracks, sections of which survived until lately as the traditional pilgrims’ paths linking the holy places. It can still be found that the legendary haunts of the dragon stand in line with others, joined together by carefully set rows of stones and earthworks all over the country.
Further on…
The Rev. L. Lewis, former vicar of Glastonbury, collected many an old traditions still surviving among the country people of Somerset about the sacred road followed by Christ and Joseph on their journey across Britain from the coast. According to some they made their landing on the north coast and traveled by way of the river Brue, which later became the Glastonbury canal, aligned, as the old print shows on the Tor. Others say that the holy spirit first touched Britain first at St. Michael’s Mount and took the straightway to Glastonbury on the line of St. Michael’s dedication described above.
As guardian of the spiritual path over the high places St. Michael is, as suggested above, identified with Hermes, The mercurial god of roads and stone pillars. Hermes is particularly associated with standing stones. The Romans found mercury stones set in line over the Etruscan countryside. In Greece the phallic image of Hermes stood in the centre of the market place, and the roads that ran in from the surrounding districts were lined with similar stone pillars.
Watkins compared the straight track leading to the Greek cities with the leys of Britain and found in both cases an association with Hermes, known to the Eygptians as Thoth, to the Gauls as Theutates, the name surviving in the numerous Tot ot Toot hills all over England.
Hermits, he believed, owed their name to former situation as servants of Hermes, and it does appear that at one time they acted as guides to pilgrims and travelers across the wild places. Some kept lighthouses, others worked ferries or deep in the forest provided shelter for wayfarers.
As so often during the course of his researches, Watkins found the old straight track pointing towards some occult principle he did not care to advance. For, “The New English Dictionary,” gives Hermes as an old name for will o’ the wisp, the native Puck or hobgoblin who leads the traveler down forgotten paths to lose them in bogs or desert places.
All over the world the ghost of the former mercurial deity hovers above the old paths and standing stones. In his own mind Watkins knew the leys were something more then roads of commerce. His psychic vision could not be blindfolded, nor could he avoid that prehistoric sites were still haunted by a spirit invoked there thousands of years in the past. Mercury, Thoth, witches, fairies, lonely hermits, flying serpents, wandering lights, all somehow reffered to a mysterious principle, a force which had once animated the lines between stone pillars, earthworks and mountain tops.

Qoais-
Those were some incredible pictures of the Egyptians talking through microphones. I hadn't seen them before. But the Egyptians wouldn't have been speaking for Enlil; he was the Mesopotamian-Sumerian-Canaanite god; the Egyptians would have been speaking for for Ra, the son of Enki, who was called Ptah or Ptah-Tanen in Egypt. Ra is called Marduk in Sumer and was Enki's first born son in the Sumerian pantheon. The Egyptian name for Enlil was Geb. Prior to around 2000 BC Enlil-El-Geb headed up the Anunnaki god system. Wars and bad things happened and Enlil-Geb lost favor and was voted out of office, with Ra/Marduk taking his place as head god and High Lord of Earth (at least according to the Anunnaki god system) about 2000 BC. Thoth was Ra's youngest brother, and was called "Ningishzidda" in Sumer and "Kothar wa Hasis" in Canaan. Some texts also suggest that he may have been called "Dumuzi" too. He was known throughout the Egypt and the Middle East as the designer and architect of whatever structures went on the leys, and was commonly called the "craftsmen of the gods." The records state he designed the temple at Baalbek and several temples in Sumer as well.
After Ra/Marduk became head god, the move to declare him "the one god," Aten, as the "High Lord of Solar Deity Council" was begun. Some say the movement began with Moses, or at least Freud and others proposed that, but it's a pretty controversial theory. And others believe the movement towards Atenism began not until Akhenaton's reign. I think there is evidence that the movement began about the time of Abraham, circa 2000 BC., and I think that primarily because while the Biblical records say that Abraham met up with the High Priest Melchizedek, older Mesopotamian and Jewish versions of that same story call Melchizedek by the name "Adonizedek" and when translated back into the Egyptian, Adoni becomes "Aten." So it looks to me like the move to get Ra declared "the one god" began right around the same time that Enlil was forced to step down.

Hi KTCat
I was thinking that perhaps this device was used to communicate WITH the gods. Like the Ark of the Covenant that Moses used to talk to "god". Perhaps also to communicate with certain high officials as well. Like a private phone system!

I know I'm bouncing around all over the place here, but I've been working on getting this car upholstered and forget what I've said before, and don't have time to go back and read everything all over again.
I remember posting a thought about cleaning up after nuclear war fare (I think I copied an earlier post of mine from Sarmast's forum in Atlantis in the Atlantic ocean here)and how the "gods" having the knowledge of nuclear war fare would also have the knowledge of how to clean up afterwards. Since radiation makes the ground sterile, they would have to "wash" the areas that were affected, and to do that, they had to know how to manipulate the weather. Hoaglands theory of interdimentional physics (or scalar physics) may have been a purpose of the pyramid. To create with vibration, a dimentional opening such as he explains on his web site for the creation of hurricanes.
Was it you KTCat, that said the storage chest found in one of the tombs turned out to be the exact same size as the Ark of the Covenant? Maybe each Pharoah had one of these "cabinets" that was actually a communications device, disguised as a storage cabinet. They did like to make everything look like something else, and to keep their knowledge hidden, who of the common people would think a little storage cabinet was a communications device to talk to the "gods"? We know about the Ark of the Covenant because the Bible describes it in detail, but if these dudes were talking to each other, they must have each had some such device. I know when we were kids, we used to poke a hole in the bottom of a tin can, stick a bolt thru the hole and tie a wire to the bolt. Then we tied that wire to the barbed wire fence. Further on down the line, another tin can was tied to the fence, and we could talk to each other that way. The sound of the voice came down the wire and was amplified by the tin can. When the other person talked, you held the tin can to your ear, when you wanted to talk, you talked into the tin can. Since there was no "bell" or anything, you more or less had to arrange with your friend what time you were going to be on your end of the "line". Obviously, the ancients had a little more hi-tech system than tin cans, but they did have copper wire, and they could have had a local communications system also.

Bravo Unknown! Someone is finally bringing in the Feng Shui to this forum. The Chinese have definitely preserved more of this ancient knowledge than any culture available to us. Of course you’re focusing on the similarities to the British Isles, but it’s a very good start! To add to this we need to mention the Dragon in the British code of arms, and that the British and Celtic beliefs were that they lived on the back of a sleeping dragon, (which made up the entire British Isles.) And we should bring in now that the American Indians thought that they we but flees on the back of a great dog, (the whole earth.) This brings in the fact that they believed that both cultures, including China, believed that the Earth was a living being and was alive. The ley lines were the “breath of the dragon” in fact that is exactly what the British called a fog.
The Chinese has this all down to much more of a science of sorts. And Bianca it all ties into astrology, (Chinese astrology, per say).

Feng shui can be said to date from the Neolithic times due to the fact that a gravesite from that date was found containing clear feng shui elements. This gravesite was discovered facing north and it had a picture of a dragon on its east side and a picture of a tiger on the west, all of them feng shui symbolic elements which were in accordance to a clear study of the environment in which it was and the land forms of the surroundings.

"Feng" means "wind" and "shui" means "water" (pronounced fung-shway). In Chinese culture gentle wind and clear water have always been associated with good harvest and good health, thus "good feng shui" came to mean good livelihood and fortune, while "bad feng shui" came to mean hardship and misfortune.
Feng Shui is based on the Taoist vision and understanding of nature, particularly on the idea that the land is alive and filled with energy.
The ancient Chinese believed that the land's energy could either make or break the kingdom, so to speak. The theories of yin and yang, as well as the five elements, which are some of the basic aspects of a feng shui analysis, also come from Taoism.
The main tools used in a feng shui analysis are the Compass and the Ba-Gua. The Ba-Gua is an octagonal map or grid containing the symbols of the I Ching, the ancient oracle on which Feng Shui is based. It is one of the easiest methods used to ascertain the Feng Shui of any given environment

Foundation theories
The goal of feng shui is to situate the human built environment on spots with good qi. The "perfect spot" is a location and an axis in time. Some areas are not suitable for human settlement and should be left in their natural state.
Some current techniques can be traced to Neolithic China, while others were added in later times (most notably the Han dynasty, the Tang, and the Ming). Today, to determine a perfect spot, local manifestations of qi must be assessed for quality. Quality is determined by observations and by using a compass (Luopan).
Qi (ch'i)
Qi is a difficult word to translate and is usually left untranslated. Literally the word means "air". In feng shui, "Qi" means "flow of energy". Max Knoll suggested in a 1951 lecture that qi is a form of solar radiation.[13]
A Luopan is used to determine the qi of an area. Compasses reflect local geomagnetism which includes geomagnetically induced currents caused by space weather.[14] It could be said that feng shui assesses the quality of the local environment and the effects of space weather -- that is, feng shui is qimancy, or qi divination. [15].
Beliefs from the Axial Age, feng shui among them, hold that the heavens influence life on Earth. This seems preposterous to many people, yet space weather exists and can have profound effects on technology (GPS, power grids, pipelines, communication and navigation systems, surveys), and the internal orienting faculties of birds and other creatures.[16][17][18] Atmospheric scientists have suggested that space weather creates fluctuations in market prices.[19][20]
Polarity
Polarity is expressed in feng shui as Yin and Yang. The polarity within feng shui is buildings of the living (yang) and buildings of the dead (yin).
The Chinese and ancient cultures all believed that the ley lines were more than mere energy or magnetism. The lines were the “life force” of the planet and all the living things on it.
This is all much more than the “trendy” art of decorating you household furniture.

I posted something like this in another thread, but it applies to the ley line forum as well, so here’s some of it.
Over the weekend I took my family to NYC to show them and a visiting friend from AZ the sights. While I was there I thought to myself, I wonder if secret societies might be messing with the ley lines like KTCat believes they have in Washington, DC.
I have no idea if which Rockefeller built Rockefeller Plaza and Center in NYC, or if he was a Mason, or Illuminati, or belonged to Skull and Crossbones, etc. But he knew something about the ley lines, because it’s there in the artwork of the Plaza. Take a look at the globe there. Now I know it has flags from all the nations there, and the globe just symbolizes the world. But if that’s all it symbolizes, why the lines circling the globe, that crisscross? Where the intersections of the MAJOR lines are is very important. Just who chose where these lines would cross in this piece of art?
I have no idea to what secret society “ the Donald” might belong to but Donald Trump was not “born” into the kind of money and power he now wields. Let’s take a gander of what lies outside his world famous “Trump International Hotel” Now again, I know we could say that the globe here represents, “International” in the hotels name, but then what do the lines circling the globe represent? And if you were there like I was you could better see just where the lines crisscross. The intersection of the lines fall over: The Great Pyramid, the mid Atlantic range, (Atlantis?). Mexico (right around Mexico City), and the South Pacific, (MU?). So who choose where the lines would intersect in this piece of art? What does either Trump know about the ley lines, or the people who control him, (i.e. SOME secret society), and what are they trying to say here?
Just who is behind this kind of blatant boasting of hidden knowledge? Is it the Masons? The Rosicrucian Order? The Illuminati? Skull and Crossbones? Maybe they’re bragging about that as well. Take a look at what is so predominantly displayed at Rockefeller Plaza:
Isn’t this our old friend Hermes? Winged Mercury? Thoth?
Hermes Trismegistus, is dubbed thrice greatest geomancer of the world. SOMEBODY knows SOMETHING that the rest of us are not privy to. That is all I can say with any certainty here.

A statue of Atlas carrying the Universe on his shoulders turns out to have used the lost celestial globe of Hipparchus, the Greek astronomer who first discovered the precession of Earth’s axis, observed a nova, precisely calculated the length of the year, and invented the stellar brightness scale used today.
And he also made this newly-rediscovered, amazingly accurate star map, complete with celestial equator, ecliptic, and Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn.
******************************************************************************
LOOK AT THE LINES ON THAT GLOBE!!!
Seems to me, Sungate, that the West DID have a few answers too. Too bad DARKNESS started falling
when Constatine "the great" decided it would be politically advantageous for the Empire to adopt a
"foreign religion". From then on, bye-bye Empire and bye-bye Western Knowledge......
The Churches forced the ILLUMINATI ("The Ones In the LIght"-Latin) underground and they plotted and plotted.....
Who can blame them?

I was one of them, Sungate.
They burned me at the stake, as a HERETIC, in Florence. September 26, 1327..........
No, don't even go THERE. Savoranola? N O .............
BTW: Have you ever read my thread "Hermes/Thoth & Hermeticism Throughout the Ages"? I think
it's right up your alley, including secret societies etal.....Right now it's in "Gods of Egypt" but I think
it is going to be moved to Philosophy, or a more suitable spot.
