In the last post, I took the opportunity to venture off the alignment and explore the ancient Anatolian Plateau, from the western Taurus Mountains and the Antalya Province, and the Turkish Riviera; east across the Taurus Mountains to Lake Egirdir, Konya Province, Mount Nemrut, and Sanliurfa Province. Then I looked at the city of Kars, in northeastern Turkey, and situated on the country’s closed border with Armenia; Munzur National Park in north-central Turkey; the capital of modern Turkey since 1923, Ankara; the former imperial capital, Constantinople, known since 1923 as Istanbul; and I ended at the coastal city of Izmir in Western Anatolia, where the alignment leaves Turkey and enters the Aegean Sea.

The Aegean Sea is called an elongated embayment, or bay, of the Mediterranean Sea between the Anatolian and Greek Peninsulas.

In the North, the Aegean is connected to the Sea of Marmara, entirely within the borders of Turkey, and which connects the Black Sea to the Sea of Marmara, and separates Turkey into its European and Asian parts…

…and said to take its name from Marmara Island, from the Greek word for marble, and it is rich in sources of marble…

…between the Straits of Dardenelles and Bosporus.

The Strait of Dardenelles was the location of the Gallipoli Campaign, one of the bloodiest battles of World War I.

The Gallipoli Campaign took place between April 25, 1915, and January 9, 1916. A joint British and French operation was mounted to capture the Ottoman capital of Constantinople (known as Istanbul since 1923) and secure a sea route to Russia.

While the Ottomans were victorious at the end of this campaign, they ultimately lost the war. At the end of World War I, the Ottoman Empire was partitioned and lost its Middle East holdings, which were divided between the Allied Forces.

The first thing I am finding in researching information about the Gallipoli Campaign are the presence of many forts on both sides of the entrance to the Strait of Dardenelles, including, but not limited to the places circled here: Cape Helles and Kilid Bahr on the European side of the Strait; and Kum Kale and Chanak, or Canakkale, on the Asian side.

Fort Sedd-el-Bahr, said to mean “Key of the Sea,” was on Cape Helles at the entrance to the Straits.

This is a view of the Sedd-el-Bahr from the bow of the SS River Clyde, a collier, at the start of the joint-British-and-French amphibious invasion of the Gallipoli Peninsula at Cape Helles on April 25th, 1915.

Its location was designated as “V Beach” of the Gallipoli Campaign.

The Royal Navy bombarded the Sedd-el-Bahr, also known as Fort #3, along with Fort Ertugrul, known as Fort #1 on the other side of “V Beach.”

The Fort at Kum Kale was on the opposite side of entrance to the Strait of Dardenelles from Cape Helles

The Battle of Kum Kale was said to have been fought on April 25th, 1915, between Ottoman defenders and French troops as a diversion from the main landings on the Gallipoli Peninsula.

The fort at Kum Kale was completely destroyed by naval gun fire early in the operations.

Further up, we find the Fort of Kilitbahir and Cimenlik Castle situated across from other on the Strait of Dardenelles.

Kilitbahir, or “Lock of the Sea,” was said to have been built by Sultan Mehmet II in 1463 in the form of a clover…

…and Cimenlik Castle was also said to have been built in the same year as Kalitbahir by Mehmet II to be defenses, we are told, to ensure the protection of the Dardenelles, and to control the maritime traffic to-and-from Constantinople.

I have consistently found star forts paired together, among other things, like here in the Strait of Dardenelles…

…and many other places around the world, like the two star forts in Puebla, Mexico, the Fort of Guadalupe…

…and Fort Loreto…

…that are situated relatively close to each other, on a hill not far from the city center of Puebla.

The Battle of Puebla is where the legendary Cinco de Mayo battle took place on May 5, 1862, where poorly-equipped Mexican forces were said to have defeated superior French forces.

I have also found clusters of star forts in the same location.

As I alluded with the numbering of Fort Sedd-el-Bahr and Fort Ertugrul earlier, there were at least 24 numbered forts in the Strait of Dardenelles…because Fort Anadolu Hamidiye was number 24, said to have been built by the Ottoman Sultan Bayezid I between 1393 and 1394.

I found this map of what are described as the Dardanelles defenses circa 1915, showing the places I have shared with you, and many more, situated in pairs, or clusters in alignment with each other.

Along the same lines, I can make a case that there were four pairs of star forts along the Lower and Upper New York Bay, with each pair situated along various points starting from Fort Hancock on Sandy Hook island in New Jersey and Fort Tilden on the Rockaway Peninsula in New York at the entrance of the Lower New York Bay, up through the pair of Fort Jay on Governors Islands and what was Fort Amsterdam in Battery Park in Lower Manhattan.

The physical structure of what was called Fort Gibson on Ellis Island is long buried and gone, but the Statue of Liberty stands right on top of Fort Wood.

Another shared feature of the Strait of Dardenelles and other places is that there seem to have been certain locations with a high concentration of star forts, like the island nation of Bermuda, which is located in the North Atlantic Ocean, 665-miles, or 1,070-kilometers, east-southeast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina.

This is a 1624 map depicting numerous star fort looking structures that were found at one time throughout Bermuda, and said to have been made by Captain John Smith of Pocahontas and Virginia fame in our historical narrative.

Another place in the Atlantic Ocean with a high-concentration of star forts is Fernando de Noronha, off the coast of Brazil near the coastal city of Natal. Here are historic drawings of eight of the ten I found out about within an archipelago whose area totals 10-square miles, 26-kilometers squared.

Then I found what appears to have been at least thirteen star forts in the city of Kars at one time, the largest city on Turkey’s closed border with Armenia.

I think places like these were significant power centers for the energy system of the planetary grid, and star forts represented the definition of battery meaning “a device that produces electricity that may have several primary or secondary cells arranged in parallel or series, as well as a battery source of energy which provides a push, or a voltage, of energy to get the current flowing in a circuit…”

…and not the definition of battery meaning “The heavy fire of artillery to saturate an area rather than hit a specific target” that we are led to believe in our current historical narrative.

Before I move on from the Strait of Dardenelles where it meets the Aegean Sea, I would like to point out that ancient Troy, the location of the famous Trojan War between the troops of King Priam of Troy and King Agamemnon of Mycenae, was situated between the mouth of the Strait of Dardenelles…

…and Mount Ida, the location in Homer’s Iliad where the Olympian Gods gathered to watch the progress of the Trojan War.

I found this old stone bridge in the Mount Ida region in Turkey…

…that looks similar to the Rakotz stone bridge in Gablenz, Germany.

And you can’t make this stuff up. One of the first Royal Navy battleships to bombard the Fort Sedd-el-Bahr, and other places in the Strait of Dardenelles, starting in February of 1915, two-months before the official start of the Gallipoli Campaign in April of 1915, was the HMS Agamemnon, the name of the Mycenaean King who victoriously led the attack against Troy as described in Homer’s Iliad…near the actual geographic location of ancient Troy!

It makes me wonder if the reason for World War I was not the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and a network of interlocking alliances between countries, but another reason entirely: to assist with the destruction and complete takeover of the ancient and advanced Moorish civilization.

There are numerous islands and island groups in the Aegean Sea, including:

…Crete, the largest and most populous of the Aegean Islands, and a place where the Venetians, Genoese, Byzantines, and Turks were all said to have built forts to defend the island from enemies and pirates, with 15 Genoese forts alone, like the one at Rethymnon…

…and Candia was said to have been built by the Venetians, known today as Heraklion, the capital of modern Crete…

…the Dodecanese islands, which includes the Island of Rhodes, which is the place for which the State of Rhode Island was named when Giovanni da Verrazzano likened an island near the mouth of Narragansett Bay to the Island of Rhodes in 1524…

…the island of Patmos, where John the Apostle was given the vision in the Book of Revelations…

…the Cyclades Island group, which includes Santorini, known for having one of the largest volcanic eruptions in history, and by the way, what an interesting lofty, rocky spot to built on top of…

…and Delos, one of the most important mythological, historical and archeological sites in Greece, and once considered a holy sanctuary.

The alignment I have been tracking from San Francisco goes across the island of Chios in the North Aegean Sea. While it is separated only a relatively short distance from Turkey by the Chios Strait, it is part of Greece.

The Nea Moni Monastery on Chios was said to have been constructed during the reign of the Byzantine Emperor Constantine IX Monomachus, starting in 1042 AD, with the main building having been opened in 1049 AD…

…and the complex having been completed in 1055 AD, after Constantine’s death.

Nea Moni was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1990, one of 18 in Greece.

Chios is the main population center of the island, and apparently what is called the Chios Castle, called a medieval citadel said to have been built first by the Byzantines, and then finished by the Genoese…

…next to what looks like an artificially made port facility, with its straight lines and angles, and the Chios Citadel contains a portion of the city within its walls…

…and appears to be one of the many shapes a star fort takes.

Not only that, there are Turkish, also known as Ottoman, baths at Chios Castle.

Just north of Chios Town is the town of Vrontados…

…which claims to be the birthplace of Homer, the blind poet of ancient Greece best known for the epic poems of the Iliad, about the Trojan War, and the Odyssey, about Odysseus’ ten-year voyage trying to get back home after the Fall of Troy.

Pyrgi Village is south of Chios, known for the decoration of its houses…

…and as being the traditional seat of the Mastic Villages, where the residents engage in mastic agriculture, farming the resin of the mastic tree, used as a chewing gum, treatment for things like digestive problems, and for making a liqueur and oil.

As of 2018, there were twenty-four Mastic Villages on the island of Chios dedicated to the cultivation and production of mastic.

From the island of Chios, the alignment crosses the Aegean Sea to the island of Euboea, which is administered as part of Central Greece.

Euboea is the second-largest Greek island, after Crete, and separated from Boeotia in mainland Greece by the narrow Euripus Strait.

Euboea’s main city of Chalcis is situated around the narrowest point of the Euripus Strait.

The Karababa Castle is situated on a hilltop right next to this narrow point, and said to have been built by the Ottoman Turks in 1684 to protect the city from Venetians.

And this is the waterfront of Chalcis…with its masonry banks.

…compared with the masonry banks of the Providence River in Providence, Rhode Island.

At one time, the island of Euboea was known by another name…Negroponte…

…and part of what was known as the Kingdom, or Realm, of the Morea.

The island of Euboea is long and narrow, with a mountain range, we are told, traversing the length of it.

The island of Skyros is a regional unit of Euboea, and is the southernmost of the Sporades Islands.

Around 2,000 BC, we are told, Skyros was known as the Island of the Magnetes, identifying their homeland in Thessaly, in a part that is still known as Magnesia.

Well, that information caught my attention because awhile back I remembered reading something about Plato describing Magnesia in “The Republic” as an ideal city and society living in harmony.

There were two prosperous cities in western Anatolia with the name of Magnesia. They were Magnesia-on-the-Maeander…

…and Magnesia ad Sipylum.

Given that I believe the ancient advanced Moorish civilization lived in peace, balance, and harmony, the information that Plato described Magnesia as an ideal society really resonates with me as having existed at one time, and wasn’t just a fictional, idealized society.

I will end this post here, and pick up the alignment in Delphi, Greece.

In the last post, I tracked the alignment from Mashhad, the capital of Iran’s Razavi Khorasan Province, the second-largest city in modern Iran, and at one time a major oasis on the ancient Silk Road; across the Elburz Mountains, and Mount Damavand, the highest peak in Iran; through Sari, capital of Iran’s Mandarazan Province, and situated between the slopes of the Elburz Mountains and the Caspian Sea; to Tabriz, a historical capital of Iran, and capital of the East Azerbaijan Province; and ending at Lake Urmia in Iran, the sixth-largest salt lake on earth.

I am picking up the alignment in Van, the name of a city an province in eastern Turkey, and on the eastern shore of a lake of the same name.

Van has a long history a major city.

It was the capital of the Kingdom of Urartu of ancient Armenia from the 9th-century BC to the 6th-century BC, when it was called Tushpa.

Tushpa was situated on the steep-sided bluff now known as Van Fortress or Castle (Van Kalesi in Turkish)…

…which is similar in appearance and location to the Edinburgh Castle, said to be somewhere around 1,100-years-old in Scotland on top of Castle Rock, which is called the plug of an extinct volcano.

Van Castle was said to have been built in the 9th-century BC by King Sarduri I, the third monarch of Urartu,who was said to have moved the capital of Urartu to Van.

King Sarduri used the title of “King of the Four Corners of the World,” a title of great prestige claimed by powerful monarchs in ancient Mesopotamia.

As a matter of fact, there was a time when Armenia was considered the center of the world, as depicted in this map.

So, in the case of Van Castle, almost 3,000 years ago we were capable of building massive stone fortresses on top of solid rock, not an easily location to built on by any stretch of the imagination…

…and apparently working with huge stone blocks was not a problem!

This is described as a bronze sphinx dated to the 7th-century BC, and said to be from either Tushpa…

…or Toprakkale, southwest of Lake Van.

Some interesting things I found about Toprakkale when I looked it up is that there is a high fortress there as well (and I find the flat landscape surrounding the hill and fortress to be noteworthy)…

…and it is known for being the place where the Toprakkale Shuttle was found, which was taken out of display in Istanbul because some believed it to be a hoax.

Others believed the Toprakkale Shuttle to be over 2,000-years-old.

I think it is important to spend some time looking throughout at the history of this geographical area because it seems to have great importance.

What was this place historically?

Who were the People of Ar?

They identify with that eight-pointed star symbol as well that I keep seeing everywhere…

…including, but far from limited to, the Gumti Monument in Faisalabad, Pakistan…

…and at the Imam Reza Shrine in Mashhad, Iran.

This six-pointed star tetrahedron is found carved throughout Armenia

…also known as the Star of David…

…and the Merkaba, the geometric shape of the Human Lightbody.

Some psychically-gifted people are able to see the Human aura, or energy body, but most are unable to see it without the help of Kirlian photography.

This is because the natural psychic abilities of Humanity have been deliberately deactivated by not teaching us about them, and by active efforts to close down our primary psychic organ, the pineal gland, also known as the third-eye, by doing things fluoridating water supplies, which leads to the calcification of the pineal gland.

Back to the Lake Van region, and historical Armenia.

The Armenian alphabet at one time was hieroglyphic…

…and in 405 AD, the introduction of the Armenian alphabet still in use today was credited to Mesrop Mashtots and Isaac of Armenia.

Isaac? A prominent Old Testament name in Armenia?

We are told that the Armenian alphabet was carved in stone in 2005 by Armenian architect Jim Torosyan in Artashavan, Armenia, on the eastern slope of Mt. Aragats, on the northern end of the Ararat Plain, near Mashtot’s final resting place to celebrate the 1,600th-anniversary of its creation.

Mt. Ararat, the legendary landing place of Noah’s Ark, was located in Urartu, and now it is part of modern Turkey.

The Sumerians called Ararat “Arrata,” and they tell of this land of their ancestors in the Armenian Highlands in their epic poems of Gilgamesh and Arrata, which also both describe a great flood which fell…from the highlands of Armenia.

The ancient metallurgical and astronomical center of Metsamor, near Armenia’s modern-day capital of Yerevan, gives its name to the Metsamor Civilization, believed by some to be the world’s first civilization.

This is Carahunge Stone Circle in southern Armenia, an astronomical observatory marking the movement of the sun, moon and stars.

It is believed to be 7,500-years-old.

Great Britain is much better known for its standing stone circles with archeoastronomical correlations.

The two photographs on the left show Armenian stone crosses, and on the right are two stone crosses found along the River Leith in Edinburgh, Scotland. Not identical, but similar stylizations.

Interestingly, I found this map referencing the Kingdom of Iberia in Armenia’s part of the world, the Transcaucasia, a geographical region in the southern Caucasus Mountains that corresponds to modern Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan.

I knew about Spain and Portugal being called Iberia, and occupying what is called the Iberian Peninsula.

I know there is a province of Galicia in Spain…

…and the region of Galatia in Turkey…

…and there was a Kingdom of Galicia & Lodomeria, located historically between what is now Poland and Ukraine, and which was dissolved in 1918.

This research led me to this map of the Celtic World circa 400 BC.

How and why did the history of this part of the world get so obscured? What are we not being told?

And when was what was historically part of Armenia was absorbed into modern Turkey?

What happened?

This is what we are told about Turkey’s history.

Ancient Asia Minor, or Anatolia, consisted of the majority of modern-day Turkey, which is a country in both Asia and Europe.

What is now modern Turkey was once part of the Byzantine Empire…

…until the Seljuk Turks started coming into Anatolia in the 11th-century.

They defeated the Byzantines in battle in 1071, and reign of the Seljuk Turks is said to symbolize the founding of Turkey.

The Seljuk Turks fell to Mongol invasions, which started in 1241.

The Mongols ruled as the “Ilkhanate” in Anatolia between 1243 and 1335.

Then, we are told the Ottoman Empire was founded at the end of the 13th-century in northwestern Anatolia and existed as a vast empire and center of interactions between east and west until the end of World War I, when it was defeated as an ally of Germany and occupied by Allied forces.

At this time, the Ottoman Empire was partitioned and lost its Middle East holdings, which were divided between the Allied Forces.

Thus, at the end of World War I, the victorious powers sought to divide up the Ottoman Empire, and the 1920 Treaty of Sevres promised to maintain the existence of the Armenian Republic and to attach the former territories of Ottoman Armenia to it.

Ottoman Armenia was referred to as Wilsonian Armenia because the new borders were to be drawn by U. S. President Woodrow Wilson.

The Treaty of Sevres never came into effect because it was rejected by the Turkish National Movement, which used the occasion to declare itself as the rightful government of Turkey.

Turkish Nationalist Forces invaded Armenia in 1920 from the east, ultimately forcing most of the Armenian military forces to disarm, cede back the former Ottoman lands granted to Armenia by the Treaty, and to give up “Wilsonian Armenia.”

And during the same time frame, the Soviet Eleventh Army invaded Armenia, and ultimately took complete control of it in 1921.

Thus, the Turkish War of Independence initiated under the leadership of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk against the occupying powers resulted in the abolition of the monarchy in 1922, and the establishment of the Republic of Turkey in 1923. Ataturk was the first president of the new republic, moving the country’s seat of power from Istanbul to Ankara.

Obviously this region of historical Armenia was highly prized, and its people were persecuted and many were killed.

There’s a lot more to look at here, but I am going to move on to the next place on the alignment.

The next place I am going to look at is what is called “The Valley of the Fairy Chimneys”…

…. in Cappadocia, a historical region of Central Anatolia known for its unique cultural and historical heritage.

These fairy chimneys are in Goreme National Park, part of the Rock Sites of Cappadocia UNESCO World Heritage Site.

I find it noteworthy that shapes like these are found around the world, including what are called “hoodoos” in Bryce Canyon in southwest Utah…

…in Alberta’s Drumheller Badlands in Canada…

…the Torre Torre in Huancayo, Peru…

…in Renon, Italy…

…in Zaragoza, Spain…

…in Euseigne, Switzerland…

…and in the Puy-de-Dome region of central France.

Here are more in the Pasabag Valley of Goreme National Park in Cappadocia.

So we are told that these phallic shapes were all created by natural geologic forces.

Okay. Well, maybe, but I really don’t think so!

Besides so-called fairy chimneys, the region of Cappadocia has been determined to have 40 underground cities, of which 6 are open to the public:

The underground city of Tatlarin, considered one of the most important of Cappadocia’s underground cities, discovered in 1975…

…Derinkuyu, an ancient, deep multi-level underground city said to be large enough to shelter 20,000 people together with their livestock and food supply, and opened to visitors in 1969…

…the underground city of Ozkonak, discovered in 1972, which had a water well, pipe communication system, winery…

…and moving stone doors…

…and there’s Mazi Underground City, opened to visitors in 1995…

…Kaymakli Underground City, opened to the public in 1964…

…and Kaymakli is the widest underground city…

…and the last one that is open to the public is Gaziemir Underground City, which was discovered in 2006.

So not only is all of this massive stone-work going on underneath the surface of Cappadocia, it was also going on above ground.

Cappadocia is known for its cave-homes and cave-hotels…

…and places like the Keslik Monastery in Cappadocia appear to be carved right out of the solid rock…

…or was it built to look like it was?

The tourism center of Urgup is not far from Keslik Monastery, and here are dwellings found there.

And then there is Uchisar, located on the edge of Goreme National Park, with its 197-foot, or 60-meter, high castle-mountain, criss-crossed by passageways and was said to have 1,000 people living inside it at one time, but apparently not anymore.

I am going to end this post here, and pick up the alignment where it crosses the Anatolian Plateau in the next post.

In the last post, I tracked the alignment from Pakistan’s Waziristan region in the Khyber-Pakhtunkwha Province; through Ghazni, an ancient city with a rich heritage in Afghanistan; to Herat, the third-largest city in Afghanistan, and referred to in literature as the “Pearl of the Khorasan.”

Mashhad is the second-most populous city in Iran, and the capital of the Razavi Khorasan Province.

Khorasan was a province in northeastern Iran from 1906 to 2004, but historically referred to a much larger area comprising the east and northeast of the Persian Empire, including, besides northeastern Iran, parts of Afghanistan and much of Central Asia.

While Khorasan is said to mean “The Eastern Province,”it is also said to mean “The Land of the Sun.”

During the Qajar Dynasty and Empire, of what was then called the Sublime State of Persia between 1789 and 1925, Britain supported the Afghans to protect their East India Company.

I have encountered the very active hand of the British East India Company in the take-down of the old empires of this part of the world while tracking this alignment.

So Herat in Afghanistan, which I visited in the last post, was separated from Persia, and the King of Persia, Nasser-al-Din Shah was unable to defeat the British to take back Herat.

Nasser-al-Din Shah was born in 1848 and assassinated in 1896 while in prayer at the Shah Abdol-Azim Shrine in Rey, what is called the oldest existing city in Tehran Province.

Persia was compelled by treaty not to challenge the British for Herat and other parts of what is today Afghanistan. Khorasan was divided into two parts in 1906, with the eastern part coming under British occupation, and the western section remained part of Persia, shown here.

Seems like dividing and partitioning were used as weapons in the dismantling and reorganization of once mighty empires.

Persia historically was part of the vast Persian Empire, which in more ancient times, as we are told, included all of the following present-day countries: Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Egypt, Georgia, Iraq, Israel, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Pakistan, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Turkey, and Uzbekistan.

On the Nowruz, or New Year, of 1935, the Shah of Iran, Reza Shah Pahlavi asked foreign delegates to use the term Iran in formal correspondence.

Reza Shah Pahlavi was deposed in September of 1941 as a result of the British and Soviet Invasion of Iran during World War II because he was seen as a German ally even though Iran had maintained neutrality in the conflict, which took place purportedly to secure Iran’s oil fields and ensure Allied supply lines along the Persian Corridor.

This also changed the usage of the country’s national identity from Persian to Iranian.

He was replaced as Shah by his young son at the time, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi…the last Shah, or Emperor of Iran.

Shah Reza Pahlavi was overthrown as Iran’s Head-of-State on February 11, 1979, after which time the country became the Islamic Republic of Iran, with what is called a unitary theocratic-republican authoritarian presidential system subject to a Supreme Leader, or Grand Ayatollah.

So things changed considerably for the people in the Islamic Republic of Iran after 1979. This picture of the citizenry was taken in 2012…

…and these pictures were before the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran.

So what has been going on here?

How did Islam in Persia/Iran morph from the Sufi Islam of Rumi, a 13th-century Persian from the Greater Khorasan…

…who was an Islamic jurist, scholar, theologian, mystic and poet…

…into the radical fundamentalist Islam that came into power in Iran?

I think it has something to do with this quote from Albert Pike, described as an American author, poet, orator, jurist, and prominent member of the Freemasons.

And, by the way, how did he know about a first and second World War?

Albert Pike was also a senior officer of the Confederate Army who commanded the District of Indian Territory in the Trans-Mississippi Theater of the American Civil War. Hmmm. I have never heard of this. I will have to look into it.

Regardless of what happened, or how it happened, this is what has been happening on the streets of Iran more recently.

So back to Mashhad. Let’s take a closer look, and see what is found there.

The city of Mashhad in modern Iran was a major oasis along the ancient Silk Road…

…connecting with Merv in present-day Turkmenistan to the East, once a major city in Central Asia, and said to have been one of the largest cities in the world during the 12th- and 13th-centuries.

An ancient city near Mashhad, called Tus, is the location of Ferdowsi’s Tomb, said to have been built in 1934 in time for the millenium of the birth of…

…Abul-Qasem Ferdowsi Tusi, born in 940 AD and died in 1020 AD, and the author of the “Shahnameh,”or “Book of Kings,” the National Epic of Greater Iran and called one of the world’s longest epic poems created by a single poet.

This is a Google Earth screenshot of Mellat Park, the largest park in Mashhad…

…which includes on its grounds what is described as one of the best and most famous amusement parks in Iran, the Mellat Luna Park, and one of several amusement parks in Mashhad.

Interestingly, Luna Park was the name of numerous historical trolley and amusement parks in the United States and around the world.

This is a photo of the original Luna Park in Brooklyn, New York, with Moorish-looking buildings.

It was in operation from 1903 to 1944, at which time it was destroyed by fire.

Some other things I would like to point out in the greater park of Mashhad’s Mellat Park is its amazing hydrological features and beautiful fountains…

…and canals, with fountains included.

This canal is in Torqabeh, a short distance east of Mashhad.

I have found canal systems throughout Asia…and elsewhere…including, but far from limited to, Quorgonteppa in Tajikistan…

…and the Kanali Varzob in Dushanbe, the capital of Tajikistan…

…as well as the Ankhor Canal in Tashkent in Uzbekistan.

These places were all once part of the Greater Khorasan of the Persian Empire as well.

There are beautiful hydrological works at Mashhad’s Vakil Abad Park, like this one…

…and this one.

I have seen a similar hydrological design with the water course built into the steps in Xalapa, Mexico.

Mashhad has been called “Iran’s Spiritual Capital,” and is the location of the Imam Reza Shrine, the largest mosque in the world by area.

This is a comparison of the front of the Imam Reza Shrine on the top left, compared with the Jama Masyid Mosque in Delhi, India on the right, and the front of the Vorontsov Palace in Alupka, Crimea.

We are told the Scots Baronial and Moorish Revival styles had been introduced to the Crimea, located on the Black Sea, with the Vorontsov Palace in the 1820s by British architect Edward Blore. Blore was also said to not have any formal training in architecture – his training was in “Antiquarian Draftsmanship.” 

This photo shows the exquisitely-crafted interior of the Imam Reza shrine in Mashhad.

Mashhad is a prominent center of the carpet-weaving industry, having been a major producer of Persian rugs for centuries…

…and it is not hard for me to see the shapes made by a kaleidoscope in this particular rug.

Mashhad has a reputation for creating some of the best items on the market.

And immediately I see a cathedral window pattern in this Mashhad Persian rug.

This is a comparison of the star-shapes found in an antique Mashhad Persian rug on the top left, with a window in the facade of the Central Synagogue of New York in the top middle; and a design found on a wooden partition at the entrance of the Coricancha in Cuzco Peru on the top right; and on the bottom left, notice the design patterns on what appears to be a wooden screen in the background of what was a photograph of Prince Andrew and Queen Elizabeth; a star-design found at the Alhambra in Grenada Spain on the bottom middle; and what is called a Turkish Iznic pattern on the bottom right.

These are just some examples of incredibly similar design patterns that I have found worldwide.

Mashhad is connected to three major rail lines: Tehran – Mashhad running west; Mashhad – Bafgh running south; and Mashhad – Sarakhs running east.

The interesting thing is how inter-connected the railways of Asia are with each other.

I mean, doesn’t that take incredible planning and coordination across all of these different countries?

With regards to Iran, we are told that the first Iranian rail lines were established in 1886 and 1887, albeit on a limited basis.

Then the 865-mile, or 1,392-kilometer, Trans-Iranian Railroad was opened during the reign of Reza Shah Pahlavi in 1939, which would have been two years before he was deposed by Allied British and Soviet forces in 1941, and replaced as Shah by his son.

We are told this railway traverses many mountain ranges, and is full of spirals and steep grades, and that much of the terrain was unmapped when the construction took place in unknown geology. Yet, this rail line was supposedly completed ahead of schedule?

We are told the Trans-Iranian rail line was part of the Persian Corridor during World War II after the Anglo-Soviet Invasion of 1941, and used a supply route for war material for the Soviet Union.

Supposedly completed by the Iranians in 1939, just in time for the start of, and use during, World War II by the Allies?

Like the Panama Canal opening on August 15th, 1914…

…just in time for the beginning of World War I, which started on July 28th, 1914.

Just a coincidence? I really wonder about that….

In addition to the above ground rail system in Mashhad…

…there is also an underground system there as well…

…just like underground systems found around the world like in Budapest, Hungary…

…in Hamburg, Germany…

…in St. Petersburg, Russia…

…and Sydney, Australia.

I have found incredible similarities between all rail systems around the world, which are integrated train, streetcar, and subway transportation systems in urban areas, and I find this in places that I would not otherwise expect to find it, like, for instance, subways in Mashhad.

While not identical lay-outs in all these places, there are definite similarities across countries and continents in how rail-lines are laid out, right down to color-coding all of them.

Then when I looked into electric circuitry, I found the same colors, with each having a different function in circuitry. They feature exactly the same colors as the different rail lines of underground systems .

I have speculated that rail systems in general function as electrical circuitry on the planetary grid system. See my post “Going Deep into Underground Railway Systems” for more information on this type of rail system.

I don’t believe for a moment that the people we are told built all of this transportation infrastructure were the actual builders of it. I believe the Master Builders of the original advanced, ancient worldwide Moorish Civilization deserve the credit for all of these massive and integrated transportation engineering projects.

It makes a whole lot more sense to me than miraculous, practically overnight engineering wonders!

Humanity got knocked off the original positive timeline by a cataclysm causing a worldwide flood of mud, I believe deliberately-caused, and someones were shovel-ready to dig out enough infrastructure to restart the “New World” civilization for the “New World Order.”

Heading out of Mashhad towards the Elburz Mountains, the Akhlamad Waterfall is located in the village of Akhlamad, 52-miles, 85-kilometers, from Mashhad in the Razavi Khorasan Province. Nicely cut stone-block there in the foreground.

While we are told the waterfall dates from the late-Jurassic geologic age of roughly 163-million-years ago to 145-million-years ago, this sure looks like an ancient wall to me…

…of which I have seen many waterfalls flowing from what also look like ancient walls, like the Tequendama Falls near Bogota, Columbia…

…the Wentworth Falls in New South Wales, in the Blue Mountains of the Great Dividing Range in Australia…

…and the Twin Falls in Seneca, New York, to name a few of many such examples of what looks like ancient masonry.

These stone walls are found at Akhlamad as well.

Compare the high stone walls at Akhlamad in Iran with these at Virginius Island near Harper’s Ferry, West Virginia…

…and Sungbo’s Eredo, said to be a massive system of defensive walls in Nigeria.

Next, the alignment comes to the Elburz, a mountain range in northern Iran that stretches from its border with Azerbaijan, along the western and entire southern coast of the Caspian Sea, and then runs northeast and merges with the Aladagh mountains in the northern parts of Khorasan.

This picture was taken in the early 1970s of a road-trip across the Elburz Mountains on one of the main road between Tehran and the Caspian Sea.

These are the Elburz Mountains at Salambar Pass on Alamut Road in Northern Iran…

…and this picture was taken at the Kopet Dag in Turkmenistan in the eastern end of the Elburz Mountains.

I see ancient masonry stone blocks in these places, but this is definitely not what we are taught. How could it even be possible? Well, there’s this, and a lot more things we have never been taught about what Humanity was capable of.

Mount Damavand is the highest peak in Iran, located in the Central Elburz Mountains.

We are told it is a stratovolcano, built up of alternate layers of lava and ash, and is the highest volcano in Asia.

It is a popular climbing destination as one of the Seven Volcanic Summits mountaineering challenge, the highest volcanoes on each of the seven continents.

Sari, the capital of Iran’s Mazandaran Province, is on the alignment, between the northern slopes of the Elburz Mountains and the Caspian Sea.

This is what I found looking into Sari.

This is the official logo of the Municipality of Sari City. There is an eight-pointed star contained within this design.

I have found eight-pointed stars in a lot of places, including, but not limited to, the Moorish Kiosk in Mexico City…

…the Mabel Tainter Memorial Theater in Menomonie, Wisconsin…

…and above the chandelier in the abandoned Loew’s Canal Street Theater in Manhattan.

As well, there are eight-pointed stars on the chest of the uniform of King Kalakaua of Hawaii, the last monarch of the Kingdom of Hawaii from February 12th, 1874, until his death on January 20th, 1891, in San Francisco.

Sari’s Clock Tower and Square is one of the notable landmarks of the city…

…and there are clock towers everywhere, like Faisalabad, Pakistan…

…Gisborne, New Zealand…

…and the Apia Clock Tower in Samoa.

Clock towers similar to these are a thing everywhere I look.

They are quite frequently attached to something, and not always in the middle of the street.

For example, the clock tower in Wick, on Scotland’s northeast coast…

…this historic clock tower in Hong Kong…

…and this one in Vyborg, Russia.

Other notable structures in Sari, Iran include the Resket Tower, with a noticeable magnetic energy pattern in the bricks…

…and the Lajeem tower, also with a noticeable magnetic energy pattern.

We are told both of these towers were built as tombs.

Next on the alignment is Tabriz, one of the historical capitals of Iran, and the present-day capital of Iran’s East Azerbaijan Province.

It is the most populated city in northwestern Iran.

It is located on the Quru River.

Is it just me, or does this look like a canal?

This is the Saat Tower in Tabriz, also known as the Tabriz Municipality Palace…

…which not only bears a resemblance to the Victoria Tower at the Houses of Parliament in London…

…the Saat Tower has windows which bear a distinct resemblance to…

…to cathedral windows in the West.

The last place I want to look at on this alignment in this post is Lake Urmia, located between the provinces of East Azerbaijan in Iran and west of the southern portion of the Caspian Sea.

Lake Urmia is described as an endorheic salt lake, or a limited drainage basin with high concentrations of salts and other minerals. It is the sixth-largest saltwater lake on Earth.

There might be a connection with the name of Urmia to the ancient Urartu, also known as the Kingdom of Van, centered around Lake Van in present-day Turkey, but historically part of the Armenian Highlands.

Lake Van in Turkey is where I will be picking up the alignment in the next post.

I started out in Lahore Pakistan in the last post, the capital city of the Punjab Province of Pakistan; through the cradle of the ancient Harappan Civilization of the Indus River Valley, which was largely in Pakistan; to Faisalabad, also in the Punjab Province, and a major industrial and transportation center of Pakistan.

I am picking up this alignment in Waziristan, a mountainous region of Pakistan on the country’s border with Afghanistan…

…and of which North and South Waziristan are districts of the Khyber-Pakhtunkwha Province, formerly known as the Northwest Frontier Province.

Khyber-Pakhtunkwha Province is the location of the Khyber Pass, a mountain pass in the northwest of Pakistan, and an integral part of the ancient Silk Road. A translation is “On the Khyber side of the Land of the Pashtuns.”

This is the Bab-e-Khyber, a gate that stands at the entrance to the Khyber Pass…

…said to have been constructed in 1965.

The turreted and crenellated appearance of the Bab-e-Khyber brought to mind the style of architecture seen on this old Merovingian textile from France on the top, and the Cajun flag of Louisiana on the bottom.

The Jamrud Fort is adjacent to the Bab-e-Khyber. We are told that the foundation of the fort was laid out by the Sikh General Hari Singh Nalwa on the 18th of December in 1836, and that the fort was completed in 54-days, after Jamrud was lost to the Afghan Durrani Empire and conquered by the Sikh Empire.

This is a screenshot of the Jamrud Fort on Google Earth…

…looking similar, especially with regards to the shape of the outer walls to the Lahore Fort in Lahore, Pakistan…

…as well as the rounded corners of Fort Loreto in Puebla, Mexico…

…and rounded corners are seen at Dubai’s Al Fahidi Fort.

While most star forts have more angled configurations, making them look like stars, not all do, and I believe they were originally part of the electrical circuitry of the planetary system, and not military in nature as we are taught to believe.

As a matter of fact, the Jamrud Electrical Grid System is located very close to Jamrud Fort, as is at least one other structure with the arrow pointing towards it, and possibly more, that looks like it could be connected to this system. It is typical to find star forts in clusters of two or more.

For more information about this finding, see my blog post “The Consistent Finding of Star Forts on Planetary Alignments.”

Khyber-Pakhtunkwha Province was the historical location of the ancient kingdom of Gandhara, including the ruins considered to be 2,000 years old of its capital city Pushkalavati, near modern-day Charsadda.

Pushkalavati was originally a stronghold of Buddhism.

These Buddhist ruins are found in the Khyber Pass of Afghanistan…

…compared in appearance to the Bezeklik Thousand Buddha Caves in Turpan in northern China’s Uyghur Autonomous Region…

…and Borobudur on the island of Java in Indonesia.

Here is what Borobudur looks like from above.

Ancient Gandhara in present-day Pakistan was said to have attained its height from the 1st- to the 5th-centuries AD, flourishing as the “Crossroads of Asia” under the Kushan Empire.

Could there have been a connection between the Kushan Empire, in this region which includes a mountainous region known to this day as the “Hindu Kush,” and the Kushite Empire of northern Africa with its capital of Meroe (also sounds like “Merovingian” mentioned previously in association with the French textile design) in Sudan near the Nile River, pictured here?

I don’t know the answer to that question. That information is long-gone. I do find quite often, however, that the memory of the people was retained in place names, like the Moors of Great Britain. This is Scales Moor in Yorkshire…

…and places like the Ouachita (pronounced Washitaw) Mountains of Eastern Oklahoma and Western Arkansas. This picture was taken at Mt. Magazine of the Ouachita Mountains in Arkansas. The Washitaw Mu’urs were the inhabitants of the ancient Washitaw Empire in North America, with its imperial seat near Monroe, Louisiana.

All of this is a lead-in to the Pashtun tribal peoples.

They are the primary inhabitants of a region including North and South Waziristan, the Khyber-Pakhtunkwha and Balochistan Provinces of Pakistan, and the Pashtun are also found in Afghanistan, in a region regarded as Pashtunistan, split between two countries since the Durand Line border between the two countries was formed in 1893 after the second Anglo-Afghan War.

The name sake of the line, Sir Henry Mortimer Durand, was a British Diplomat and Civil Servant of the British Raj. We are told that together with the Afghan Emir, Abdur Rahman Khan, it was established to “fix the limit of their respective spheres of influence and improve diplomatic relations and trade. Well, that certainly sounds good…but what was really going on here?

The Durand Line cuts through the Pashtunistan and Balochistan regions, politically dividing ethnic Pashtuns and Baloch, who live on both sides of the border.

But, really, why divide a people in this fashion?

The Pashtun are a tribal nation of millions of Afghani and Pakistani Muslims who also have a strong oral tradition that they are descendants of lost ten Tribes of Israel, and they refer to themselves as Bani Israel. 

Here is an example of a Pashtun textile piece showing the sacred geometric shape of a star tetrahedron in the center, also known as the Star of David…

…and a recognizable symbol of what is called Judaism today, as seen on the flag of Israel.

This symbol of the star tetrahedron is also the sacred geometric shape of the Human Lightbody, known as the Merkaba.

So, according to the history we have been taught, how can the Pashtun be Hebrew Israelites and Muslim at the same time?

For many reasons, this is a good opportunity to share why I think there was one original spiritual tradition, and that organized religion came in with the hijack of the original timeline for the purposes of control and serving an agenda not in Humanity’s best interests.

At first I was puzzled by seeing references to the twelve tribes in different places besides the Pashtun in Pakistan and Afghanistan. 

I found the Tribe of Naphtali in the South Pacific…

…the Tribe of Reuben in Australia…

…the Kuki of India say they are of the Tribe of Manasseh…

…and on Madagascar, there is a resurgence of what they say the original faith of the island. The Jesuits were said to have arrived here in 1845, and entrusted with the Prefecture Apostolic of Madagascar in 1850. There’s 1850 again!

I think a good explanation of this finding of the same tribal name in different parts of the world is contained in a Megalithomania presentation by Christine Rhone on “Twelve Tribe Nations – Sacred Number and the Golden Age.”

She co-authored a book with John Michel called:   “Twelve Tribe Nations – Sacred Number and the Golden Age.” 

Among other things, they followed the Apollo – St. Michael alignment across countries and continents all the way to Jerusalem in Israel.  They discuss records and traditions of whole nations being divided into twelve tribes and twelve regions, each corresponding to one of the twelve signs of the zodiac and to one of the twelve months of the year. 

All formed around a sacred center, and sacred centers.

It stands to reason that these people would apply to the same concepts of Harmony, Balance, Beauty, Sacred Geometry, and aligning heaven and earth, to building their communities and themselves that they applied to building all of the infrastructure of the planet.

So what if we are talking about a civilization arrangement like what you see pictured here (and in which you see the eight-pointed star contained within this configuration)…

…occurring in a flower of life pattern, from macro to micro, covering the surface of the Earth?

Researchers have looked into zodiacs that have been revealed in features in the landscape, like the Glastonbury Zodiac in England…

…and the Kingston landscape Zodiac in Surrey, England.

I recently realized that earth’s true history was not about organized religions, which was a stumbling block for me because of what we have been taught. 

The controllers didn’t rewrite history from scratch – they rewrote the historical narrative to fit their agenda. And from the new official historical reset year, which I believe was 1850 or 1851, we are immersed in learning their history of what has taken place here from a very young age.

The identity of the true Israelites was replaced with a false identity and hidden away, and many were relegated to an existence of slavery, degradation and marginalization, if they weren’t killed.

This subjugation allowed for the identity of the Israelites to be co-opted by the Khazarian Jews and Zionists.

The Rothschilds purchased Jerusalem in 1829, and subsequently acquired considerable land in Palestine in the 1800s and early 1900s.

And what about all the Buddhists I have been finding here?

The Bamiyan Valley of Afghanistan, for example, is located not far from Kabul, the country’s capital…

…was known for two colossal statues of Buddha there, carved into sandstone. 

Both statues were destroyed by the Taliban in 2001.  

This is a poignant example of how dark forces are hell-bent on physically destroying this civilization, and its memory and legacy.  

And here is what ISLAM was originally all about: I-Self-Law-Am-Master.

It did not start out as the weaponized belief system we see today that was developed to divide and conquer.

There is so much we haven’t been told about the True History of the planet, including how all organized forms of religion connect back into the Advanced Ancient Civilization, and and are not mutually exclusive as we have been taught to believe, and are actually different aspects of one and the same spirituality.

Originally, all of Humanity was being taught the knowledge of who we really are as spiritual beings and holograms of the Universe, and how to reconnect with Higher Self by raising kundalini energy from the base of the spine up to the pineal gland.

Does this statue at the Vatican represent a pine cone as we are taught…

…or the human pineal gland?

They definitely don’t want us to know who we really are, and try to keep most of Humanity stuck in their lower selves in every way possible, including addictions, distractions, and consumerism that huge, in many cases multinational, corporations are making a heck of a lot of money from.

It has been clear to me travelling through this part of the world how what we know as the European Colonial powers, starting in the 18th-century, just tore up this part of the world through so many partitions, for one example, along religious lines when in fact there were no differences between the original people and their spirituality.

While a very clear example of this took place in what is called South Asia…

… it was only one of many examples around the world.

Race and religion were manipulated by European colonialism to create divides over almost the entire landmass of the earth into new countries from lands that were taken, and creating divisions and discords between peoples that originally existed in harmony worldwide.

It also diagrams the means by which power and control were consolidated worldwide, mostly starting out as “trading” companies that ended up being very powerful in their respective regions, and after gaining complete control, transferring power and control of the regions to their respective European empires.

With regards to the efforts to establish one universal, hierarchical, organized religion, in which Humanity was taught it needed an intermediary to reach the Creator, the main Catholic missionaries were the Jesuits, Benedictines, Franciscans, and Dominicans (as in the Dominican Republic) were also quite busy in their world travels…

…and most likely involved in many activities of cultural obfuscation we will never know about.

The main foundational piece for the Catholic Church’s claims for dominion over all of Humanity was the Unam Sanctum papal bull, which are told was issued by Pope Boniface VIII in 1302. 

At the end of it, he writes “Furthermore, we declare, we proclaim, we define that it is absolutely necessary for salvation that every human creature be subject to the Roman Pontiff.”

A papal bull is an official papal letter or document, named after the leaden seal used to authenticate it.

They figure prominently in the effort to authenticate what has taken place on earth in the historical narrative we have been taught, but which in actuality was a hostile take-over of Humanity and the earth’s grid system without our knowledge and consent.

Back to the alignment I am tracking.

After leaving the Waziristan districts in Pakistan, the alignment comes to Ghazni in Afghanistan.

It is stategically located on the main Highway 1 between Kabul and Kandahar, which has served as the main road between those two cities for thousands of years.

Ghazni is an ancient city with a rich heritage.

The Ghazni Citadel was said to have been built in the 13th-century to form a walled city.

This is a lithograph painting of the Ghazni Citadel in 1839 by James Rattray, a soldier and artist serving in Afghanistan in the 1st Afghan War of the same period as an officer of the 2nd Grenadiers of the Bengal Army.

The First Anglo-Afghan War was fought for three years between the British East India Company and the Emirate of Afghanistan starting in 1839, after the British had successfully captured Kabul, and they capitalized on a succession dispute between a current and former Emir there, at which time the British exiled the Emir at the time, Dost Mohammed, and installed the former Emir, Shah Shujah. There’s that 8-pointed star again on this book cover.

The British forces subsequently attacked the Ghazni Citadel in 1839, a battle in which the British claimed victory.

When the main British forces occupying Kabul retreated in January of 1842, they were almost completely annihilated by Afghani tribesmen. In retaliation, the British sent what was called an “Army of Retribution” to Kabul to avenge their defeat and demolished parts of the city, recovered prisoners, and left Afghanistan, with the exiled Emir Dost Mohammed returning from India to Kabul.

Destruction that was done in retaliation for people who were defending their own land from invading foreigners who wanted to take it.

Also at that time, in 1842, Edward Law, the 1st Earl of Ellenborough, and Governor-General of India between 1842 and 1844, issued what was called his famous “Proclamation of the Gates,” in which he ordered the British Army in Afghanistan to return via Ghazni and bring back to India the Sandalwood Gates from the tomb of Mahmud of Ghazni.

They were returned to the Somnath Temple in India, where they had been allegedly taken from by Mahmud 8-centuries previously from Somnath, and for which the British used as justification to the Indians for the destruction of Ghazni .

The First Anglo-Afghan War is called one of the first major conflicts of what was called “The Great Game,” the 19th-century competition for power and influence in central Asia between Britain and Russia.

Calling all of that creation of destruction and deviseness “The Great Game” tells me something about what sounds like the ultimately malevolent intent of those behind all of this new empire-building.

The last place I am going to look on this particular alignment in this post is Herat, the third-largest city in Afghanistan, and linked to Kabul, Ghazni, and Kandahar, and other main cities in Afghanistan, via Highway 1, also known as the “Ring Road.”

It is one of the largest cities in Afghanistan with a population of almost 500,000 people.

It is located in the fertile Hari River Valley, with a history that goes back thousands of years. In some literature it is referred to as the “Diamond of Asia,” as well as the “Pearl of Khorasan.”

The Khorasan was a historical region that formed the northeast province of Greater Iran, comprising the present territories of northeastern Iran, parts of Afghanistan, and much of Central Asia.

The meaning of Khorasan is said to have signified “Land of the Sun.”

Like so many other places along the alignment, there is also a citadel in Herat. It was said to have been built in 33o BC, when Alexander the Great arrived in Herat after the Battle of Gaugamela, which was close to the city of Dohuk in Iraqi Kurdistan.

It was said to have been saved from demolition in the 1950s, and restored by UNESCO between 1976 and 1979.

The National Museum of Herat is housed in the lower part of the Citadel.

It was established as a museum in 1925 by order of King Amanullah, one of the kings of modern Afghanistan.

Here are just a few examples of similar brick or stone archways in other places.

The Buenos Aires History Museum in Argentina…

…these archways in Mandu, India…

…this passageway in Pompeii, Italy…

…and the House of Vans Skate Park in the Waterloo District of London.

I am going to end this post here, and pick up the alignment in Mashhad in Iran in the next post.

In the last post, I tracked the alignment from Lucknow, the capital of India’s State of Uttar Pradesh, and an important regional center of North India, through Bareilly, also in the State of Uttar Pradesh, and called the Main Gate of the Himalayas, to Amritsar, in northwestern India’s State of Punjab, close to the country’s border with Pakistan.

Next on the alignment is Lahore, the capital city of the Punjab Province of Pakistan, and only 51-miles, or 31-Kilometers from Amritsar in India’s Punjab State, and directly connected to each other via the railroad.

The Punjab is a historical region of South Asia, in the northern part of the Indian subcontinent…

…and was the cradle of the ancient Indus Valley Civilization, which was largely in modern Pakistan. More about this shortly.

The Great Exhibition of the Works of All Nations, held in the Crystal Palace Exhibition in 1851 was also known as “The Great Shalimar” a reference to the Mughal Garden complex in Lahore…

…where you see the eight-pointed star and similar design-patterns on the Great Exhibition brochure.

I think these design patterns of eight-pointed stars were significant ones for the ancient advanced civilization, because I find them everywhere, including, but far from being limited to, the Mabel Tainter Theater in Menomonie, Wisconsin.

The Shalimar Gardens are located at the Lahore Fort, described as a citadel on the northern end of the Walled City of Lahore.

This is a view of the Alamagiri Gate of Lahore Fort…

…from the Badshahi Mosque, called an example of Mughal architecture, with its exterior of carved red sandstone and marble inlay.

Lahore Fort passed to British Colonialists when they annexed the Punjab region following their victory over the short-lived Sikh Empire, which lasted from 1799 to 1849, and which had replaced the Mughal Empire here, in the Battle of Gujrat in February of 1849.

The Battle of Gujrat was part of the Second Anglo-Sikh War, a military conflict between the Sikhs and the British East India Company that took place in 1848 and 1849.

The last Mughal Emperor in India, Bahadur Shah Zafar, was deposed by the British East India Company in 1858, and exiled.

Through the Government of India Act of 1858, the British Crown assumed direct control of the British East India Company-held territories in India in the form of the new British Raj, and in 1876, Queen Victoria assumed the title of Empress of India.

Lahore was central to the independence movement of India, with the city being the site of Lahore Congress and the promulgation of the Declaration of Indian Independence.

Nehru hoisted the new tri-color flag of India on the banks of the Ravi River in Lahore on December 31st of 1929, resolving the Congress and nationalists to fight for Poorna Swaraj, or self-rule independent of the British Empire.

But when independence from Britain came about, it was definitely not a smooth and harmonious process.

The 1947 Boundary Partition of what was British India into two independent dominion states – the Union of India and the Dominion of Pakistan. Today they are called the Republic of India and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

It involved the division of two provinces – Punjab and Bengal – based on district-wise non-Muslim or Muslim majorities, and resulted in the dissolution of the British Raj.

The partition displaced 10- to 12-million people along religious lines and created overwhelming refugee crises in the newly constituted dominions, and large-scale violence and deaths.

Why was this even done this way in the first place?

The Walled City of Lahore, also known as the Old City, forms the historic core of Lahore, and was the capital of the Mughal Empire at one time.

Here’s a view of the Walled City of Lahore on the left showing what looks to be very similar to a star city configuration, like the example of the Imperial City of Hue in Viet Nam on the right.

Here are some sights in the Walled City of Lahore.

This is Lawrence Hall of what is now the Quaid-e-Azam Public Library in Lahore, said to have been built in the Neoclassical style in 1866 during the time of the British Raj in the Victorian era…

…and Montgomery Hall, part of the same public library complex, and said to have been built in the 1870s…

…with the White House in Washington, DC for comparison of appearance with Montgomery Hall in Lahore.

We are told that Neoclassical architecture began in the mid-18th-century in Italy and France, and that its roots date back to the 17th-century when Claude Perrault decided to revive ancient Greek architecture with his design of the east facade of the Louvre in Paris.

This is a comparison of the Colonnade Claude Perrault is famous for having designed on the top as the winner of a competition, said to have been completed between 1667 and 1670, with the Great Facade of Buckingham Palace, with the design attributed to British Antiquarian draftsman Edward Blore in 1847, and completed in 1850, on the bottom.

How could they have built massive architecture like this during a time of low technology according the history we have been taught? We can’t even build like this now.

The Indus Valley Civilization flourished in the basins of the Indus River, which originates on the Tibetan Plateau near Mount Kailash, and ultimately flows along the entire length of Pakistan to the Arabian Sea.

There is terrace-farming along the Indus River as well.

The ancient civilization that flourished here was also known as the Harappan Civilization, after Harappa considered the type, or model, site of the civilization.

Harappa is on the Ravi River, southwest of Lahore.

There is said to be a legacy railroad station in the modern village of Harappa, dating from the British Raj…

…on the Lahore-Multan Railway, construction of which was said to have begun in 1855.

I don’t believe this is truth.

I have come to believe for numerous reasons that all transportation infrastructure was built by the ancient advanced civilization, including rail- and canal-systems, and not by the people we are told built it. They are all integrated, massive engineering projects, and the same around the world.

The discovery of Harappa, and soon afterwards Mohenjo-Daro, was said to be the culmination of work beginning in 1861, with the founding of the Archeological Survey of India during the British Raj.

Mohenjo-Daro was one of the largest cities of the ancient Harappan civilization of the Indus River Valley, and is a UNESCO World Heritage site, said to have been built starting in 2500 BC and one of the world’s earliest major cities.

Here’s the thing about the cities of the Harappan Civilization.

They were known for their urban-planning, baked-brick houses, elaborate drainage systems, water-supply systems, clusters of large, non-residential buildings, and metallurgy. I even read where they even had street-lights, and extremely accurate systems of weights and measures.

Between 3300 and 1300 BC?

Moving along the alignment, Faisalabad is next, the second-largest city in the Punjab Province of Pakistan, after Lahore.

We are told that historically it was one of the first planned cities in British India.

It is a major industrial and distribution center because of its central location in the region, and connecting roads, rail and air transportation…

…as well as a major center of industry, with major engineering works, like the Faisalabad steam-powered grid station…

…and mill-works of all kinds.

There are canals in Faisalabad.

This is the Lyallpur Galleria on East Canal Road in Faisalabad, with its combination ancient Eastern- and Western-looking appearance. Faisalabad was formerly known as Lyallpur.

Among many other things, the Galleria is a shopping mall.

The following pictures are associated with Citi Housing of Faisalabad, described as a high-end housing society with a gold standard lifestyle.

They look more like Ancient Egyptian temple ruins and an archeological site than a residential neighborhood.

This is called the Gumti Monument in Faisalabad’s Chenab Colony.

…which has similar characteristics to western infrastructure, like the World War I Memorial said to have been erected in Washington, DC, in 1931, which would have been during the Great Depression.

This is a close-up view of the Gumti Memorial, where we find the same two design patterns I highlighted at the beginning of this post – the eight-pointed star and what I am going to call an infinity pattern for lack of a better description.

Like I said before, I have found these patterns together in places across countries and continents, like the Moorish Kiosk in Mexico City…

…and eight-pointed stars in the designs of the ceiling above the chandelier of the abandoned Loew’s Theater on Canal Street in Manhattan.

This journey on the alignment through Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan has revealed much about the workings of the British East India Company to create the conditions for the complete downfall of the high Moorish civilization which was here, around the 1850s.

It brings to mind the Opening of Japan, starting on July 8th, 1853, when Commodore Matthew Perry led four U. S. Navy ships ordered by President Millard Fillmore to Tokyo Bay with the mission of forcing the opening of Japanese ports to American trade by any means necessary.

After threatening to burn Tokyo to the ground, he was allowed to land and deliver a letter with United States demands to the Tokugawa Shogun, Ieyoshi.

The Shogun Ieyoshi died a short time after Perry’s departure in July of 1853, leaving effective administration in the hands of the Council of Elders, though nominally to his sickly son, Iesada, who was the Tokugawa Shogun from 1853 to 1858.

The Tokugawa Shogunate is called the last feudal Japanese Military Government…

Perry returned again with eight naval vessels in February of 1854, and on March 31st of 1854, the Japanese Emperor Komei signed the “Japan and United States Treaty of Peace and Amity” at the Convention of Kanagawa under threat of force if the Japanese government did not open the ports of Shimoda and Hakodate to American vessels.

Histories like these in Japan and throughout historical India really make me wonder if there were places that were not affected by the global mud flood, and were quite literally taken by force.

I am going to end this post here, and pick up the alignment in Afghanistan in the next post.

In the last post, I tracked this alignment from the Ganges Delta in the Bay of Bengal, where it enters the country of Bangladesh, through its capital city of Dhaka, and into India to the Holy City of Varanasi, a spiritual and cultural center for thousands of years.

In this post, I am picking up the alignment in Lucknow, the capital of the State of Uttar Pradesh in India.

It is an important center of governance, administration, education, aerospace, commerce, finance, pharmaceuticals, and technology, and a hub of North Indian culture and art.

The Bara Imambara complex was said to have been built by the Nawab of Awadh, Asaf-ud-Daula, in 1784.

The complex includes the Afsi Mosque…

…a labyrinth of approximately 1,000 interconnected corridors and doors called the Bhul-Bhulaiya that circles around the upper part of the Bara Imambara, compared on the right with brick archways having the same geometric effect found at Fort Jefferson, on Dry Tortugas State Park on Garden Key in the furthest west part of the Florida Keys…

…and the Bowli, a step-well with running water.

The main chamber of the Imambara, which contains the tomb of Asaf-ud-Daula, consists of a large, vaulted central chamber, which is 50 x 16-meters, or 164 x 52-feet, wide, and over 15-meters, or 50-feet, high, and is one of the largest arch constructions in the world without beams supporting the chamber.

The construction of the Bara Imambara was said to have been conceived of by this Nawab of Awadh to provide employment for people in the region for almost a decade during a time of famine.

I found this story in more than one place. We are consistently told starving, unskilled labor, built this amazing complex.

Not only is the architecture of the Bara Imambara in Lucknow colossal and beautiful, there are said to be passages beneath the complex leading to places like Agra 180-miles or 291-kilometers away, where the Taj Mahal is located, and for comparison on the right is the Hui Mosque in Yinchuan, China…

…and to New Delhi, the national capital of India, and 259-miles, or 417-kilometers, from Lucknow.

La Martiniere College in Lucknow has a college for boys that was founded in 1845, and a college for girls in 1869.

We are told Major-General Claude Martin, the wealthiest Frenchman in 18th-century India…

…endowed the founding of the La Martiniere Boys College, and that the building which houses it today was originally built for him as his country residence starting in 1785 and completed in 1802.

Martin was an officer in the French East India Company…

…and later in the British East India Company…

… where he rose to the position of Major-General in the Bengal Army, the army of the Bengal Presidency, one of three presidencies of British India within the British Empire, and the Bengal Presidency was formed following the dissolution of Mughal Bengal in 1757.

Inserting an interesting, historical side-note here.

The Bengal Presidency was the economic, cultural, and educational hub of the British Raj, and its governor was concurrently the Viceroy of India for many years.

In 1905, Bengal Proper was partitioned, separating largely Muslim areas eastern areas from largely western Hindu areas.

In 1912, British India was reorganized and the Bengal Presidency was reunited with a single Bengali-speaking province.

Could this first partitioning of Bengal have been a human- and social-engineering project, and a practice run for the 1947 Boundary partition of India, where Bengal – primarily in the form of Bangladesh – and India, into West Pakistan and East Pakistan?

The Partition of India in 1947 divided British India into the Union of India and the Dominion of Pakistan along religious lines, displacing 10 – 12 million people and creating overwhelming refugee crises in the newly constituted dominions, as well as large-scale violence. This created the conditions for suspicion and hostility between these two countries into the present-day.

A couple of more things about Major-General Claude Martin before moving on.

First are the facial similarities between Claude Martin on the left; in the middle, Thomas Gilbert, captain of the British East India Company’s East Indiaman vessel Charlotte, and for whom the Gilbert Islands were named; and on the right John Molson, Canadian brewer and entrepreneur, who looks like an older version of the other two men.

There are only two possibilities I can reasonably come up with to explain the similarity of their eyes, noses, and chins.

One possibility is that they were very closely related.

The other is that the artists that were providing the faces in these portraits for the new faked history were using some kind of universal template as a model face.

Second, Claude Martin was said to have acquired his fortune in the service of the Narab of Awadh, Asaf-ud-Daula, and that he arrived in India as a common soldier. Having never married, he willed his estate to the establishment of three La Martiniere schools in his memory. Besides Lucknow, there is one in Lyon, France, his birthplace…

…where the Lumiere Brothers, two of the first film-makers in history, were said to have attended (see my post “Following the Money & Influence – Part 2 The Ways We Were Kept Asleep ~ Distractions”)…

…as well as a third La Martiniere School in Kolkata (previously Calcutta), the capital of the Indian State of West Bengal.

By the way, Kolkata is the only city in India with a public tram service that is still in operation.

We are told that Tram Transport in India was established in the late 19th-century by the British…

…and that between the 1930s and 1960s, the other acknowledged electric tram services in Madras, Cawnpore, Delhi, and Bombay were discontinued.

Since Bombay, which is now called Mumbai, came up, I would like to bring up places there that were recommended for me to look into by someone in a comment. Mumbai is not on this particular alignment. Sometime in the future, I will have to do a post dedicated to India by itself as there is a treasure trove to see and find out here about the ancient advanced civilization.

The first was the Hotel Taj Palace in Mumbai, which is shown here located next to a massive stone archway called the “Gateway of India.”

The Hotel Taj Palace in Mumbai was said to have opened in 1903, as India’s first luxury hotel, and the first hotel to have electricity, American fans, German elevators, Turkish baths, and English butlers.

The Gateway of India next to it was said to have been erected starting in 1913 to commemorate the landing in December 2011 of King-Emperor George V and Queen-Empress Mary at the Apollo Bunder pier in then Bombay.

King-Emperor and Queen-Empress were the titles used by the British monarchs in India between 1876 and 1948

The other place I would like to bring up in Mumbai per recommendation is the Victoria Terminus Railway station, officially now called the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The terminus was said to have been designed by British architectural engineer Frederick William Stevens in the style of Victorian Italianate Gothic Revival architecture, with construction starting in 1878 and completed in 1887, marking the fifty-year anniversary of Queen Victoria’s rule.

Back in Lucknow, this is the Charbaugh Railway Station, one of the two main railway stations in Lucknow, on the left, said to have been designed by J. H. Hornimen (for whom I can find no biographical information) and built between 1914 and 1923.

For comparison of similaries in architectural style is firstly the historic Birmingham Terminal Station in Alabama, said to have been designed by Georgia-based architect P. Thornton Marye, who does have biographical information available, and completed in 1909, only to be demolished in 1969…

…and secondly the Atlanta Terminal Station, also said to have been designed by P. Thornton Marye, with a 1905 opening-year, and a 1972 demolition-year.

Next on the alignment is the city of Bareilly, also in the Indian State of Uttar Pradesh, and 157-miles, or 252-kilometers, northwest of Lucknow.

It is called the main gate of the Himalayas.

Bareilly is also known as Nath Nagri, or the city of temples, due to the location of seven ancient Shiva temples here. Some of the temples include the Dhopeshwar Nath, of which this is the gate…

…the Trivati Nath Temple…

…and Tapeshwar Nath Temple, said to be the oldest temple in Bareilly.

The folklore says that Gautama Buddha had once visited the ancient fortress city of Ahichchhatra, the ancient capital of Northern Panchala in the Bareilly region, where what is popularly called the fort there looks like a step-pyramid to me.

The Tulsi Math temple in Bareilly is dedicated to Tulsidas, a Hindu spiritual author who translated the Ramayan, one of the two major Sanskrit epics of Ancient India along with the Mahabharata, into the language of the masses.

Tulsidas was said to have lived here in the 1600s.

Bareilly was a center of the ultimately unsuccessful Indian Rebellion of 1857.

At this time a major uprising took place in northern India, which lasted between 1857 and 1859 against the rule of the British East India Company, which functioned as a sovereign power on behalf of the British Crown.

Bareilly is a railway junction, with six rail-lines intersecting the city.

This 1909 map of the railway system in India shows Bareilly as a junction.

One of the earliest railways said to have been constructed in India was the Solani Aqueduct Railway in 1851, which we are told was built for…

…the purposes of tranporting construction materials for the Solani River Aqueduct.

Proby Cautley, an English engineer and paleontologist, and an officer in the British East India Company, was given the historical credit for the building of the Solani Aqueduct…

…as well as the 350-mile, or 563-kilometer Ganges Canal between 1843 and 1854,which the aqueduct crosses, said to have had the greatest discharge of any irrigation canal in the world at the time of its construction, and described as an engineering marvel.

I am going to move along the alignment from Bareilly to Nanda Devi, called the second-highest mountain in India, and the highest that is completely within the country’s boundaries.

This is a view of Nanda Devi from Kausani.

Nearby Kausani is described as a picturesque hill-station in India, and contains wonderful terrace-farming like what is seen around resorts there…

…and which look like the rice terraces in places like the Phillipines, like these at Banaue, for one example of many in diverse places

Baijnath Temple is near Kausani, with one reference saying that it was built thousands of years ago…

…and another reference saying it was built starting in 1204 AD by two merchants, one named Ahuka, and the other Manyuka, and dedicated to Shiva as Vaidyanath, “Lord of Physicians.” This particular reference does say there was a previous, older temple to Shiva here.

Someshwar Temple, also dedicated to Shiva, is also near Kausani, said to have been built by Raja Som Chand, founder of the Chand Dynasty in the 10th-century AD in the…

…Kumaon Region of Uttarakhand.

Chand and Kumaon sound close to Cham and Khem, as well as places on this map with actual Cham-prefixes, like Chamoli and Champawat, which was the capital of the Chand Dynasty rulers of Kumaon, and Champawat is where the Baleshwar Temple is located, also either said to be ancient, or built during the Chand Dynasty in the 10th- to 12th-centuries.

The last place I am going to look at on this alignment in this post is Amritsar, in northwestern India in the State of Punjab, close to the country’s border with Pakistan.

Amritsar is home to the Harmandir Sahib, or the “Abode of God,” otherwise known as the Golden Temple…

…where it sits on an artificial island in the middle of a perfectly square, definitely manmade-looking, water configuration.

For Sikhs, it is the holiest Gurdwara, a place of assembly and worship, and most important pilgrimage site, with construction initiated in 1581 by Guru Ram Das, the fourth of the ten gurus of Sikhism, and founder of the Holy City of Amritsar in Sikh tradition.

The Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar, an historic garden and memorial of national importance located in the vicinity of the Golden Temple complex, was the location of the famous massacre in Amritsar in 1919…

…when a British commander ordered troops of the British Indian Army to fire their rifles into a crowd of unarmed civilians during a festival time, killing at least 400 and injuring over 1,000.

Some historians considered the massacre at Jallianwala Bagh a decisive step towards the end of British rule in India.

Khalsa College was established in Amritsar in 1892 during the British Raj as an educational institution in the State of Punjab for Sikhs and Punjabis.

Its architectural design was said to have been created by Ram Singh, a prominent Punjabi architect, and built between 1911 and 1912.

The main building is considered a gem of the Indo-Saracenic style.

I am going to end the alignment portion of this post here.

I would like, however, to further share some thoughts and ideas about different pieces of information I have picked up along the way, and how they might tie into some of the mysteries of our existence on Earth.

I bring these forward for your consideration as points to ponder, and not necessarily as definitive answers. I am not an expert in the following subjects, but I am intuitive, and this information resonates with me. It is out there to look into if you are interested in finding out more for your own research.

First, I came to this level of awareness by following sacred geometrically-based alignments, and I have received a ton of information in return. I already understood there was a missing ancient advanced Moorish civilization from our history books…

…and that something major in a negative way towards Humanity has taken place here. Humanity is far from the positive evolutionary path that it once on.

Several years, before I discovered the key which unlocked the physical lay-out of the planetary grid system and the suppressed ancient global civilization, which was finding a star tetrahedron when I connected major cities of North America I saw lining-up in lines, extending the lines,following up on what I found, and which forms the basis of all of my research…

…I learned about the holographic Universe, primarily from Gregg Braden’s work, but also from Drunvalo Melchizedek’s work, the man who brought sacred geometry back into the collective awareness starting in the late 1970s, as well as Humanity’s direct connection to the Universe and Earth. It was from Drunvalo’s work that I learned about Sacred Geometry in around 2007 – 2008.

Our energy bodies contain heart- and brain-toroidal fields, of which the heart is by far the stronger of the two, and which are shaped like a torus, like that of the Earth and the Universe.

We are intrinsically connected with all that is in existence. For the purposes of this post, I will leave it at this level, yet the reality of who we really are goes so much deeper than that.

The torus is a core-level sacred geometry form, and a process by which all energy, when correctly aligned is perpetually cycling – up, down, and around – without stopping, between Spirit and Matter.

I came to this level of awareness in the process of discovering how sacred geometry relates to earth’s ley-lines and ancient advanced civilization.

My interest is in bringing back the gridlines and knowledge about the ancient advanced civilization to the collective awareness.

I did not start out from a flat earth perspective. As such, proving or disproving whether the earth is flat is not the focus of my research. However, I have been comfortable with the concept of earth as a torus, which can be pictured as a sphere…

…or as a plane. More on this shortly.

In the research for my last post, I found what I would consider the first hard evidence for me that supports flat earth.

The depiction of ley-lines on land and sea were present on the flat projections of the Catalan Atlas of the Majorcan Cartographic school, said to have been made by a cartographer named Abraham Cresques in 1375.

Then in the 1500s, Gerardus Mercator comes along with a world map that is considered to be the first where sailing courses on the sphere were mapped to the plane map, allowing for a “correction of the chart to be more useful for sailors…”

…and that looks a lot like the Catalan Atlas with the exception there are no ley-lines on land, only on water. The ley-lines were starting to disappear from Earth’s maps.

And, oh by the way, Mercator was a globe-maker as well.

Within the same century, in October of 1582, the Gregorian Calendar was introduced by Pope Gregory XIII for the given reason of correcting the Julian calendar on stopping the drift of the calendar with respect to the equinoxes, and included the addition of leap years.  It took 300 years to implement the calendar in the west, and nowadays used in non-western countries for civil purposes.

Indigenous calendrical systems like the Mayan calendar were involved with the harmonization and synchronization of human beings with natural cycles of time, and not linear time.

In the year of 1583, only one-year after the introduction of the Gregorian calendrical system, Joseph Justus Scaliger, called the “Father of Modern Chronology…”

…published the “Opus de Emendatione Tempore” or “Study on the Improvement of Time,” a study of previous calendars.

In it, he was said to compare the computations of time made by the various civilizations of antiquity, and in the process of doing so, correcting their errors, and placing chronology for the first time on a solidly scientific basis.

Do all of these things – globe-makers and a new calendrical-system – represent deliberate manipulations for control of our perception of space and time? And does a new chronology exist to provide the rationale for explaining the discrepancies between the systems?

I came across David LaPoint’s work on Primer Fields on Youtube several years ago, and his theory, which has been extensively tested by physicists in laboratory vacuum chambers, is that every component of matter has a double-toroidal-shaped magnetic field that radiates from its core…

…including the structure of our Universe…

…and the Earth.

Then there is the Electric Universe Theory, which generally states that electricity is the engine behind a long list of natural and astrophysical spectacles, and supports the idea that electricity powers the sun and the stars…

…and that cosmic occurrences are electrical in nature.

This is a good segue for me into the Dogon, who live in the country of Mali in northern Africa.

The Dogon have a very sophisticated spiritual, astronomical and calendrical system, as well as extensive anatomical and physiological knowledge. They also have a systematic pharmacopeia, which means directions for compound medications.

Perhaps they are best known for the accurate knowledge they possess about the Sirius star system.

Yet it is mainly an agricultural society.

They say they were visited in the distant past by amphibious beings from Sirius called the Nommo, who were their teachers.

Who is to say they weren’t?

The Dogon have such incredibly advanced and sophisticated knowledge that the only explanation for it is that they are telling the truth!

The Dogon perform elaborate ceremonies with masks, headdresses, and dance.

Compare the Dogon headdresses in this ceremony…

…with the flag of the Tuareg people, who also live in this part of West Africa…

…and with this image on the left, the well-documented laboratory electric discharge form of plasma next to a form called the “stickman” that is found in rock art worldwide.

Think the ancient peoples of the earth might know something we don’t?

One more thing before leaving Dogon Country.

I have made the comparison of the similarity between Bandiagara Escarpment and Mesa Verde in Colorado in past posts.

Not only because of this similarity between these two places on different continents, but in the many other places I have encountered as well, I wonder if there were much closer physical connections between continents.

For one thing, this is what the world looked like when it was called Pangea on the let, before whatever caused continental drift, depicted on the right.

There are certainly submerged ruins found around the world, like Dwarka in the Gulf of Cambay off the West Coast of India, north of present-day Mumbai…

…Yonaguni, off the coast of Okinawa in the western most part of Japan…

…and underwater ruins off the western coast of Cuba, to name a few.

This next thought is purely speculative on my part.

Could the land-mass known as Pangaea have been intact until much more recently than over 200 million years ago, as an explanation for the occurrence of the same, and interconnected, infrastructure world-wide, from ancient to modern, than what we can imagine now with vast oceans between continents? Just a thought. This I definitely do not know.

Regardless of anything, there are huge chunks of information missing from the historical record that we no longer have access to by conventional means. We just have mind-boggling mysteries that we can’t explain by conventional means.

In the next post, I will be picking up the alignment in Lahore, Pakistan.

In the last post, I tracked this alignment, which started in San Francisco, California, from the Paracel islands in the South China Sea, between the Philippines and the Chinese Province of Hainan, through the Gulf of Tonkin, and into Viet Nam to Hanoi, the capital of Viet Nam.

I am picking up the alignment in the land-locked country of Laos.

Luang Namtha is the name of a Province in northern Laos, and its capital city.

The city of Luang Namtha is located on the snaky, s-shaped Tha River.

This is a site along the Tha River that reminds me in appearance of…

…Thunder Mountain in Sedona, Arizona.

There is a provincial museum in Luang Namtha City that is largely an anthropological museum…

…containing numerous items relating to the local people like clothing, textiles, household items, Buddhist-related items, and bronze Khamu drums.

The majority of Khamu, or Khmu, now live in northern Laos, though the Khamu are indigenous to Southeast Asia, and are found in Myanmar (formerly Burma), Thailand, Viet Nam (where they are officially recognized), and in the Yunnan Province of China (where they are not officially recognized). Yet another Kham to connect to the Ancient Kemetic civilization of Egypt.

Other peoples of Laos include the Hmong, a sub-group of the Miao people…

…the Akha people…

…and the Mien People.

What I find interesting is that the woven textiles and traditional clothing of all of these ethnic groups is not significantly different from each other, nor is it significantly different from that of other places like the Helong weavers of West Timor in Indonesia…

…or the textiles and clothing of Peru.

This indicates to me a much closer relationship between these different groups of people than what we have been told.

The Nam Ha National Protected Area in Luang Namtha Province is home to some of the Khmu, Hmong, and Akha peoples, among several other of the ethnic minorities in Laos, as well as diverse animal and plant species.

The Pha Yueng Waterfall is located in the Nam Ha Protected Area, on the road from Luang Namtha to Muang Sing.

Muang Sing is a small town and district in Luang Namtha Province, 37-miles, or 60-kilometers, northwest of the town of Luang Namtha, and in close proximity to the border between Laos, and Yunnan Province of China.

The principal Buddhist temple here is called the That Xieng Tung Stupa. A festival is held here every year on the full moon of the twelfth lunar month (in October or November).

On the left side of the stupa there is a stairway leading to a sacred fountain and sacred stone, and on the right side is the old moat and wall of the stupa.

The Nam Keo Waterfall is slightly over 1-mile, or 2-kilometers from this stupa.

Muang Sing is also the name of an historical park in neighboring Thailand.

It protects the remains of two Khmer temples said to date from the 13th- and 14th-centuries in Thailand’s Kanchanaburi Province, on the snaky s-shaped Khwae Noi River.

Before I move along the alignment into Myanmar, there are several more things I would like to bring up in or about Laos.

One is the Patuxai, or the Arch of Triumph of Ventiane, built in the capital city of Laos, and which we are told was built in the 1960s as a monument dedicated to those who fought in the struggle for Laos’ independence from France.

Among other problems with that dating of the construction of this arch is that during the 1960s, Laos had its own problems with the Viet Nam war spilling over into Laos, with Laos being bombed by American planes starting in 1964, in retaliation we are told, for the shooting down of an American plane by insurgents, and after which bombing runs over Laos intensified, with over 100,000 bombing runs on Laos’ eastern border with North Viet Nam.

Another place is Luang Prabang, which I found tracking a different alignment, and where there are beautiful waterfalls…

…that look similar to Havasupai Falls in Arizona’s Grand Canyon.

The last place I would like to bring to your attention in Laos is called the Plain of Jars.

As I recall, the first time I ever heard of the Plain of Jars was either watching an episode of “Unsolved Mysteries” or “Arthur C. Clark’s Mysterious World.” Whenever I first heard of it was a long time ago.

The Plain of Jars is a mystery, with thousands of what look like huge jars cut from stone filling the landscape.

Some of the stone jars are gigantic!

Between 1964 and 1973, the Plain of Jars was heavily bombed by the U. S. Air Force operating against the North Vietnamese and Pathet Lao communist forces, and it was said that the Air Force dropped more bombs on the Plain of Jars than it dropped during the entirety of World War II.

These were some unexploded bombs removed from the Plain of Jars from the secret war in Laos.

Why the incessant and excessive bombing of a megalithic archeological site?

Per capita, Laos is the most bombed country in history.

Leaving the country of Laos, I am tracking the alignment into the country of Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, through the city of Lashio, the largest town in northern Shan State.

The population of Shan State is mostly comprised of the Shan People, Chinese, and Burmans.

The Shan people live primarily here, but they are also found on other parts of Myanmar, China, Laos, Thailand, and India.

The majority of Shan are Theravada Buddhists or practice the animist Tai folk religion.

The Shan Hills are found in Myanmar’s Shan State.

There are hot springs in Lashio, of which I come across many tracking planetary alignments.

The Gokteik Viaduct was said to have been built in 1899 – 1900 by an American Company on behalf of British Authorities, and is between Lashio and Pyin Oo Lwin in the Mandalay Region of Myanmar, and which became a permanent military outpost for the British in 1897 and eventually the summer capital of British Burma, which existed from 1824 until 1948 when Burma chose to become a fully independent republic instead of a British Dominion.

The Gokteik Viaduct goes across the Gokteik Gorge, which has at least one waterfall as seen here.

The appearance of the Gokteik Viaduct reminded me of this trestle of the Algoma Central Railway in Ontario. The Algoma Central Railway was said to have been chartered in 1899 and built between Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario and Hearst, Ontario by 1914.

The Algoma Central Railway is known for its daily excursion to Agawa Canyon, 113-miles, or 182-kilometers, north of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, through a sparsely populated area with few roads.

There are waterfalls in the Agawa Canyon as well.

Here is a comparison of the Gokteik Viaduct at the Gokteik Gorge in Myanmar on the left, with the Algoma Central Railway Trestle at the Agawa Canyon on the right.

Is the history we have been taught about relatively low technology existing in the late 19th-, or 20th-century consistent with being able to pull off the construction of massive engineering projects like these?

How could they have possibly gotten all the equipment to these remote and difficult locations, much less build these sophisticated steel structures?

As an example of what we are taught, mass production of the Model T Ford didn’t even really start until the invention of the moving assembly line around 1913.

Let’s take a look at the British Colonial Summer capital of Pyin Oo Lwin.

This is the All Saints Anglican Church there.

Where have I seen that style of church architecture before, with the Moorish-looking tower next to the nave? All over the place!!!

Like the New Old South Church in Boston, Massachusetts…

…this church in Flagstaff, Arizona…

…and the Chapel de Les Alegries in Spain near Barcelona, to name just a few.

This is the Gandamar Myaing Hotel, said to have been an old British colonial mansion converted into a hotel.

I have seen that style of architecture all over the place as well.

In Nova Scotia, a maritime province of eastern Canada…

…Spencer, Oklahoma just outside of Oklahoma City…

…and on the left, in Penns Grove, New Jersey; in the middle, in Jerome, Arizona; and on the right in Providence, Rhode Island.

This is the Purcell Tower in downtown Pyin Oo Lwin, said to have been built in 1934 by the Gillette and Johnson Company to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of the reign of George V of Great Britain.

It also looks like a Moorish Clock Tower.

This is actually called the Moorish Clock Tower, and is located in Guayaquil, Ecuador…

…St. Mark’s Campanile in Venice, Italy, which is also a bell-tower…

…and in the United States, there is the Emerson Bromo-Seltzer Clock Tower in Baltimore, Maryland…

…the Neenah clock tower in Wisconsin…

…and the Port Townsend, Washington clock tower, again to name just a few of many examples.

I will end my tour of Myanmar with a picture of waterfalls in Pyin Oo Lwin.

In my next post, I will be picking up the alignment in Dhaka, the capital and largest city of the country of Bangladesh, on our way into India.

In the last post, I tracked this alignment from Nukuoro Atoll, in the Pohnpei State of the Federated States of Micronesia, through the island Republic of Palau, and into the Philippines where it goes through Samar and Leyte of the Eastern Visayas, and on through to Manila, the country’s capital.

The alignment leaves Manila, the capital of the Philipines, and enters the South China Sea.

Located between the Philippines and China’s island of Hainan, the Paracel Islands are a group of islands, reefs, and banks that are strategically located; productive fishing grounds; and which also hold reserves of natural gas and oil.

While they are controlled and operated by China, they are also claimed by Taiwan and Viet Nam.

This is Duncan Island in the Paracels on the left, compared with Koror seen previously in this series in the island Republic of Palau on the right.

The Paracel Islands are also the location of the Dragon Hole, or Sasha Yongle Blue Hole, the world’s deepest known blue hole at 987-feet, or 301-meters, deep.

Dragon Hole is called the “Eye of the South China Sea,” and is where the Monkey King found his golden cudgel in the 16th-century Chinese classic of Literature “Journey to the West,” with authorship attibuted to Wu Cheng’en.

Other blues holes include the Cenote Azul Balacar on Mexico’s Costa Maya, one of the deepest cenotes in the Yucatan, believed to be 295-feet, or 90-meters, deep…

…and Blue Hole in Santa Rosa, New Mexico, which is 80-feet, or 24-meters wide and deep. One of the most popular dive destinations in the United States, it is described as an artesian well with a constant in-flow of water that stays at a constant 62-degrees Fahrenheit, or 17-degrees celsius.

The Battle of the Paracel Islands was a military engagement between the naval forces of South Vietnam and China in 1974, and was an attempt by the South Vietnamese navy to expel the Chinese navy from the vicinity.

As a result of the battle, China established de facto control over the Paracel Islands.

Lingshui, in Lingshui Li Autonomous County, is in the southeastern part of Hainan, China’s smallest and southernmost province.

Nanwan Houdao Island Ecological Scenic Spot, better known as Nanwan Monkey Island, is adjacent to the Xincun Harbor in Lingshui.

Looking at the Google Earth Screenshot, there are sure some interesting-looking features in the landscape there….

The only way to get there is via a 2-kilometer, or 1-1/4-mile, long cable-way, the longest in China.

Nanwan Monkey Island, actually a peninsula, is a state-protected nature reserve for Macaque monkeys. This red sandstone feature at the entrance is called the Garden Gate…

…and here are some scenes from inside the reserve, like the nice stone wall here upon which the macaques sit…

…and the heated swimming for the macaques…

…and just the overall ancient stonemasonry appearance of the place.

We don’t recognize this as ancient stonemasonry because we are taught that all of this is a product of natural forces and geology.

There sure are a lot of reservoirs here in this part of Hainan Province!

Interesting to note the population density of Hainan is low compared to most Chinese coastal provinces, so high population is not the reason for the profileration of reservoirs.

Diao Luo Mountain National Park is on the alignment further up in Lingshui Autonomous County.

It is one of five tropical rainforest regions on Hainan.

Diao Luo Mountain is the location of the Fengguoshan Waterfall cluster, the largest in Hainan Province.

In order to view the falls, there are 1,700 steps on the trail leading to the waterfall cluster.

Wuzhi Mountain is up the alignment from Diao Luo Mountain.

Wuzhishan is the highest mountain in Hainan…

…and is also known as the Five-Fingered Mountain.

There are several minority ethnic groups on Hainan.

Two are recognized ~ one of these groups is the Li People.

The areas surrounding Wuzhishan are inhabited primarily by Li People, said to be the original inhabitants of Hainan, and the largest of the ethnic minorities there. Their tradition of making brocade is said to trace back 2,500 years.

The is the Miao minority ethnic group on Hainan. The Miaos are found through-out the southwestern provinces of China, as well is in Thailand, Laos, and Viet Nam, where they are known as the Hmong people.

They are also known for lively embroideries and brocades, as well as traditional silver ornaments that include traditional necklaces, bracelets and headwear.

There are two unrecognized minority ethnic groups.

The Muslim Utsul People, or Hainan Hui, are found in Sanya on the southern coast of Hainan.

We are told they are a Chamic-speaking people who came to Hainan by way of their Cham homeland in Viet Nam to escape the Vietnamese Invasion of 1471, when the Vietnamese completed their conquest of Cham with the sacking of Vijaya, the last Cham capital.

On the top left is a view of a temple framed by an archway in Vijaya, and on the top right is the Iron Pillar of Delhi framed by an archway in India.  It is famous for the rust-resistant composition of metals used in its construction. It is said to have been made 1,600 years ago.

On the bottom left is the archway framing the Baiturraman Grand Mosque in Banda Aceh in Indonesia, which was hard hit by the Boxing Day Tsunami on December 26th, 2004, and the bottom right shows the archway framing the Hospicio Cabanas in Guadalajara, Mexico.

More on the Cham in Viet Nam and other places to come.

The other unrecognized minority ethnic group on Hainan are the Dan people, historically known as the “Boat People,” and “Gypsies of the Sea.” They live along the coasts of the southern China.

The Dan people are said to be traced back to 7,000 years ago to the Hemudu period, a culture that flourished in eastern China between 5,500 BC to 3,300 BC. This is a Hemudu site 22-kilometers, or 13-miles, northwest from Ningbo, and is called the birthplace of the Hemudu Culture.

At the same Hemudu site near Ningbo, you find this exhibit promoting the narrative that Humanity was really primitive back in those days, at the same time it was a megalithic culture….

From China’s Hainan Province, the alignment crosses into the Gulf of Tonkin.

While most immediately recognizable for the Gulf of Tonkin incident, an international confrontation that led to the United States engaging more directly in the Viet Nam War…

…you also find the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Halong Bay, which has approximately 1,600 islands and islets forming a spectacular landscape of limestone pillars…

…said to have been formed over 500 million years with very different geologic circumstances. Over the last 20 million years, these formations were said to have formed with a combination of thick limestone, hot and humid climates, and a slow overgrowth of the tectonic process.

Again, because we haven’t been taught that this could be anything other than natural, and that Humanity was functioning at a primitive level during so-called prehistoric & ancient times, we miss seeing the evidence that all of this could have been intentionally man-made, like this example on Cat Ba Island in Halong Bay of what appear to be huge masonry blocks and a built-in archway.

It’s not supposed to be there, so we don’t see it. We don’t even think it. And it is so old that there is an element of doubt about whether or not it is natural. I see examples of this type of ancient masonry worldwide.

Leaving the Halong Bay on the Gulf of Tonkin, just a quick stop along the alignment in the Thanh Hoa, the capital of Thanh Hoa Province, on the Ma River, 150-kilometers, or 93-miles, south of Hanoi.

I saw a trident feature off the Ma River between the Gulf of Tonkin and Thanh Hoa on the top, that reminded me of a similar trident-shaped feature I saw on the Brownsville Ship Channel that runs from the Gulf of Mexico at Port Isabel, Texas to Brownsville, Texas on the bottom.

Sites around the city of Thanh Hoa include the Ho Dynasty Citadel, the only stone citadel remaining in Southeast Asia, and said to have been a breakthrough in the construction at the time it was built in 1397 of stone citadels in Viet Nam. It was a declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2011.

Yet the Ho Dynasty’s reign was said to be short, consisting of two emperors. Ho Quy Ly from 1400 to 1401, and his second son Ho Han Thuong from 1401 to 1406.

Here are some other sights around Thanh Loa.

Now that we are here in Viet Nam, I will bring up once again the Cham presence here…and in other places.

The Kingdom of Champa was said to have existed in Viet Nam from 192 AD – 1832 AD.

The Chams of modern Viet Nam and Cambodia are the remnants of the former Kingdom of Champa, and were said to have originated as an ethnic group of Austronesian origin in Southeast Asia and were accomplished seafarers that from 4,000 BC populated Southeast Asia.

Hinduism shaped the art and culture of the Champa Kingdom for centuries. While most Chams in Viet Nam today are Muslim…

…the Balamon Cham, are along with the Hindus of Bali in Indonesia, are the only two surviving indigenous Hindu people in the world outside of India.

I do not believe there was a divide between what are called religious faiths before the hijack of the time-line – I believe spirituality was all connected to the same original information about what Humanity was doing on earth to become re-connected with Higher Self.

Race and religion have been used to manipulate Humanity into dogmatic thinking since the occurrence of the hijack of the original positive time-line of Humanity.

This is a Cham head of Shiva said to have been made in 800 AD from an alloy of gold and silver…

…and a 9th-century statue from a Buddhist monastery in Indrapura, the Champa capital.

The Champa city of My Son is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and was a religious center of the Cham, and flourished from the 2nd- to the 15th-centuries. In this first picture, you see a temple in the background, and huge megatlithic stonemasonry in the bottom of the picture…

…as well as a bigger view of the My Son temple complex here, again with the huge megalithic masonry seen in the middle of the photo.

Then there is the Ancient Khmer Empire of Cambodia.

How big of a stretch is it to see the word Khem related to Khmer, Cam, and Cham?

Ancient Khem is a shortened version of Ancient Khemit, the name we are told given to a technologically and spiritually advanced civilization that existed in a Golden Age that predated dynastic Egypt.

But could that civilization of Ancient Khemit existed worldwide? I think so.

This is a comparison of a solar alignment at Karnak Temple in Egypt on the left, and one at Konark Temple in India on the right.

Then there is Howard Crowhurst’s work documenting the geometry and astronomical alignments of Carnac in Brittany France.

Robin Heath has done field-work in Wales…

…to record the astronomical alignments…

…and geometric alignments in the landscape with sacred sites there.

The ancient name for Wales is Cymru.

So back to Southeast Asia, the Khmers of Cambodia were responsible for building the Hindu-Buddhist temple complex at Angkor Wat, the largest in the world.

Angkor Wat is located on an artificial island surrounded by a rectangular moat.

This is what happens at the main Temple of Angkor Wat on the equinoxes, the time of year when the sun crosses the plane of the Earth’s equator, and day and night are of equal length…

…and these are the Face Towers at the Bayon Temple, located within the Angkor complex.

The memory of these people has been erased from our collective memory, and replaced with a lot of mysteries. Who built these things? Why did they build them? How did they build them? These are conundrums that confound the constructs that guide our understanding of history.

The only thing that makes sense to me is that people from one holistic civilization of Master Builders were responsible for all of these amazing accomplishments, and not random civilizations doing their own thing independently.

My last stop for this post is Hanoi, the capital of Viet Nam in the Red River Delta.

Hanoi was founded as Thang Long, the capital of Imperial Viet Nam, in 1010, with the Thang Long Citadel said to have been built around that same time by the Ly Dynasty.

The Nguyen Dynasty, the last imperial dynasty of Viet Nam, moved the capital to the Imperial City of Hue in 1802, in a walled enclosure within the citadel there…

…which has all the hallmarks of…

…a star city…

…like what is found in Lucca, Italy…

…and what used to be in Trujillo, Peru…

…of which this is all there is left of the walled points in Trujillo.

Thang Long was renamed Hanoi in 1831, and conquered by the French in 1873, and from 1883 to 1945 was the capital of French Indochina. We are told the French colonization made a lasting impact on the city’s architecture that is visible today through French-styled avenues, buildings and bridges.

Like the Hanoi Opera House, said to have been built between 1901 and 1911…

…the Hang Dau Water Tower, said to have been built in 1894…

…the Long Bien Bridge…

…a bridge used by the railroad, mopeds, bicycles, and pedestrians today.

This picture was said to have been taken after the completion of the construction of the Long Bien Bridge by a French architectural firm…

…between 1899 and 1902.

It is far easier to put a plaque on something than to build a massive engineering structure like this, with both steel and masonry.

We are told the plans were laid for a city-wide tramway system in Hanoi in 1894, but by 1899, advances in technology in those five-years made it possible to construct the entire system as state-of-the-art electric system instead of the steam-power which was originally planned…

…with construction of the first lines starting in 1900, and the first two lines being opened in 1901.

All four lines that were built over the years gradually either deteriorated or fell victim to modernization, we are told. This next photo was taken of traffic patterns in Hanoi in our day and age.

One more thing before I leave Viet Nam for Laos.

Hanoi was the site of the world’s fair in 1902 and 1903.

The year 1902 was the year Hanoi replaced Saigon as the capital of French Indochina…and the year of the opening of the Long Bien Bridge.

The Grand Palais was said to have been built specifically for the Hanoi Exposition in 1902.

The Grand Palais of the Hanoi Exposition was completely destroyed by airstrikes at the end of World War II because when the Japanese took over Viet Nam in 1940, at which time they based their military and supply in the palace.

In the next post, I will be tracking this alignment through the Luang Namtha Province of Northern Laos.
