Freemasons Plot Book To Over-Throw English Government

[rubyfelixir]

The Mysterious Writings website has a very sixist interview by the owner of the website, whom I won't name, with the spokes-man for the MARANATHA book and treasure-hunt, a man named...
Ugh. The owner of the website, and also, this forum, does not like it when I use the spokes-man's name in public articles about the book, or the hunt, that could be read by the public. The spokes-man's name must be an anathema. So, to circumvent this censor's censor, let me refer to the spokes-man by the name...

Drunken Fully-on Birding.

QUOTE MR. BIRDING
It’s nice to be able to speak more freely about what I believe about the Holy Grail. To me the Holy Grail is primarily two important things. Firstly, it is only a collection of words and those words have slightly changed through history. The second important thing about the words ‘Holy Grail’ is what those words imply to the person reading them. And that too has slightly changed through history.

[...]

Therefore, just as the word ‘Enterprise’, in less then ten years, became the perfect name for the first Space Shuttle, so did the word ‘Grail’ become the perfect word to describe the secrets and treasures of individuals, guilds, and families of medieval Europe. And that is my explanation of what the Holy Grail is, it is a phrase, adopted by a group to become a common term to describe something they treasure and wish to keep secret. They think it powerful and beautiful, and they are truly custodians of it. This also means that there is probably more than one Grail, as it is likely that anyone who had a relic or secret through that period would have referred to their prize as ‘The Grail’.

So... according to Mr. Drunken Birding, the HOLY GRAIL is ONLY A TERM for any sort of significant thing! HEEEEEEY! Don't worry about it!, says Mr. Birding.

So, wow... two points...

[rubyfelixir]

ONE
The company responsible for the book and the hunt promoted the book and the hunt using the words 'The Holy Grail'.
It was obvious to the company how the readers would understand the meaning of the use of these words, as a NAME, and not as a TERM, and that this understanding would be the traditional understanding of the Holy Grail, informed by the historical explanation of the legendary Holy Grail.
The public, that is, the POTENTIAL CUSTOMER BASE, is not likely to get excited over something that is just 'A' Holy Grail, rather than 'THE' Holy Grail, and a something that is not even a 'HOLY' Grail, just a 'Grail'.
That the company understood this, is proven by the company using the term, that is, the NAME, 'the Holy Grail', to promote the hunt. The company used the name 'the Holy Grail' in its press-release material about their claimed discovery. The company also used the NAME 'The Holy Grail' on the cover of the book!
But it would appear from this interview that the only value for the company of that 'collection of words', 'the Holy Grail', was in its use as a baiting hook.
Now that the hunt has ended, the company's spokes-man states that the Holy Grail is ONLY A TERM that the company used, and that it doesn't mean what you, reader, think it means. HEY! Mr. Drunken Birding Man! Why didn't you explain that to the public at the beginning of the hunt? Why didn't you tell the readers that they weren't looking for THE Holy Grail, only A Holy Grail?


TWO
The Bibliography in the book for the hunt references 3 books about the traditional Holy Grail. What was the point of including these three books in the Bibliography, and, by their inclusion in the Bibliography, make readers think that they had to acquire and read these books about the traditional Grail, to learn about the Holy Grail, if the traditional understanding of the Grail was irrelevant to the book, and that the only use of the name 'The Holy Grail', was as a 'term', intended to mean something else entirely? According to the spokes-man, the name is 'only a collection of words', that don't really mean anything. It was, I think the term is, a bait-and-switch. The company had switched the meaning of the words 'the Holy Grail', from the name, to a mere 'term'.
If the spokes-man is telling the truth, then the use of the name 'The Holy Grail', in relation to this book and the hunt, seems to me, to be mis-leading, and mean-spirited. OH-HO!, laughs Mr. Birding, You thought it was a lead? LOL! LOL! NO! IT'S ONLY A COLLECTION OF WORDS!
What does this mis-use of the name 'Holy Grail', say about the character of the spokes-man who used this name to promote this hunt to the public?

[rubyfelixir]

After having declared the words 'the Holy Grail' to be not a name, but only a term, Mr. Drunken Birding Man then states that
QUOTE MR. BIRDING
As for the Grail of Maranatha? Yes, it is real and it is definitely historic.
END QUOTE

Hey. Thanks. I hate it.

Note though, the emphasis, that the 'Grail of Maranatha', is not DEFINITELY real, only DEFINITELY historic.

The spokes-man's statements lead to the singular conclusion that the people responsible for the book and the hunt decided to engage in a deception of word-definition substitution with the public. Names are made of words, and terms are made of words, so what's the difference, right? The company decided to appropriate the name 'the Holy Grail', so that they could then attach that name, now as a term, to something else, some other thing that they discovered, so that they could then claim to the public that they had discovered 'the Holy Grail', while meaning only 'A' Holy Grail, but be credited by the mis-led news-media, with the discovery of 'THE' legendary Holy Grail.
This slippery substitution would then allow Mr. Drunken Birding to be able to claim to ladies in bars that he helped to discover 'the Holy Grail'.
I imagine that the news-paper headline would be 'LOCAL HERTFORDSHIRE MAN FINDS HOLY GRAIL, GETS LAID'.

And yet, the book's Bibliography, with it's inclusion of not just one, but THREE books about the legendary Holy Grail, would suggest that the spokes-man is either just wrong, or is now lying, despite the book and the hunt's own self-declared association with THE Holy Grail. The front cover of the book does not state 'A Holy Grail and Da Vinci Secrets revealed!'. The front cover declares 'The Holy Grail'. THE, and not A.

So then... what, exactly, is 'the Grail of Maranatha'? What is the 'real and definitely historic' grail-thing that Mr. Birding claims that he and his company now custodes? Well, we know that it is not THE Holy Grail, and also, that it is not 'holy'. So it is not even, as Mr. Birding said of the Holy Grail, 'a collection of words'. It is only a 'Grail', particular to the Maranatha project. It is then, an unholy Grail. In the interview, Mr. Birding could have told the readers what 'the Grail of Maranatha' is, but Mr. Birding chooses to not identify what the 'powerful and beautiful', 'something they treasure and wish to keep secret', is. What purpose, then, does the Grail of Maranatha serve?

[Jenny]

Please keep this proper here- it is a public forum.

Hadn't DB said the Holy Grail to be found in Marantha was the Name of God - in 'shape' form. The creator - the 3 primary shapes / one tilted hexagram. Of which would relate to the fact His name is ineffable (because it is a shape).

Possibly even the Masonic Lost Word?

[Jenny]

Here is a link to the TimeMonk article by DB on what the Holy Grail is:

mysteriouswritings.com/timemonk-page-on-the-holy-grail/

[rubyfelixir]

Administrator, why are you asking me? A PDF solution to the book's puzzle was released by the company's director.

The geometric construction that you refer to, and that is alluded to by Mr. Birding through his use of diagrams in his article 

'The Time Monk Project' 

published 8 May 2011 

found at
httpcolonslashslashwebdotarchivedotorgslashwebslash20110508005426slash
httpcolonslashslashwwwdotandrewgoughdotcodotukslash
guestunderbartimemonkdothtml

but not expressly stated by Mr. Birding to be the 'Name of God', is not an exclusive discovery by Mr. Birding, but an old Masonic amusement. It is not a secret.

The English alphabet uses Latin letters. The English word, GOD, a word also used like the name of that god by English-speaking people, is spelled using three Latin letters, G, O, and D, which, if written out using the Greek letter equivalents in place of the Latin letters, the Greek letters GAMMA, OMICRON, and DELTA, is claimed to make the word appear to be spelled of three geometric shapes, the shape of a SQUARE, the shape of a CIRCLE, and the shape of a TRIANGLE.

The English word GOD, when spelled using Greek letters, is inappropriate, linguistically, and a Masonic prank.

Mr. Birding uses this Masonic party-trick as the inspiration for his 'Geometric Key'. It's a bold strategy, Birding. 

In his article, Mr. Birding uses a variant of a CHRISTOGRAM. A Christogram is a monogram that represents the name 'JESUS CHRIST'. This variant Christogram consists of a Greek letter Alpha, a Greek letter Omega, a Greek letter Chi, and a Greek letter Rho, arranged inside a circle.

The Greek letters Chi, and Rho, are an abbreviation for the name 'CHRIST'. The Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ, in Chapter 1, Verse 8, records the statement by God, of himself, that "I am Alpha and Omega", and then, in Verse 11, Jesus states of himself that "I am Alpha and Omega".

Mr. Birding uses the four Greek letters of this variant Christogram to make four distinct geometric shapes. He uses the letter Alpha to make the shape of a triangle, the letter Omega to make the shape of an inner circle, the letter Chi to make the the shape of an outer square, and the letter Rho to make the shape of a rotated inner square.

Mr. Drunken Birding then combines all four of the shapes into a 'Geometric Key', an idio-syncratic construction that is a geometric Christogram of the name, and also of a title of, JESUS CHRIST!

However, Mr. Birding did state earlier in his article that it is the geometry itself that is 'The Key', meaning that his Key is not the name of, nor the revelatory title for, the Son of God. Awww...

Mr. Birding's geometric construction is a name, and a title... but not a name, or a title. Just ignore that first bit. Nothing to see Jesus. I mean here! Nothing to see here!

Freemasonry has a S. Ex. Master Degree... What? What? OK, OK, Administrator! No innuendo in the public... INTERCOURSE! What? OK, OK! Sigh...

The emblem for the 'Super Excellent Master' Degree, a two-hundred-year-old Masonic Degree of CRYPTIC FREEMASONRY,
is that of three geometric shapes; the shape of a geometric SQUARE, which is partially over-lapped on its right-side by the shape of a geometric CIRCLE, which is partially over-lapped on its right-side by the shape of a geometric TRIANGLE.

The three geometric shapes of the emblem are taken from their use in the ritual for the Super Excellent Master Degree.
QUOTE RITUAL
[...]
Companions, you will form a square round the Ark of the Covenant.
[...]
This square represents the encampment of the Israelites, with the Ark of the Covenant in the centre, and three tribes on each side.
[...]
Companions, you will form a triangle round the Ark of the Covenant. The triangle of delta is an emblem of the Deity, and represents His Omniscience, Omnipresence and Omnipotence; it also represents the triple duty we owe to God, our neighbours and ourselves.
[...]
Companions, you will form a circle round the Ark of the Covenant. The circle is an emblem of friendship, the Ark of the Covenant in the centre represents the blazing star.
It is also emblematical of the circle of our moral virtues, as inculcated in the Degree of Entered Apprentice by the point within the circle embordered by two parallel lines. It is further an emblem of eternity, having neither beginning nor end. The first, the emblem of friendship, may be broken; the second, the emblem of our moral virtues, may be changed; but the third, the emblem of eternity, will never alter. This emblem encourages the hope that, through faith in the Divine promises, we may attain to the full fruition of a glorious immortality.
[...]
END QUOTE


The geometric shapes of the emblem for the degree over-lap each other. Could the over-lap of each the shapes in the emblem be interpreted as the shapes moving to be on top of each other? Is the over-lap of the shapes, and the perceived movement of the shapes to combine together, the inspiration for over-laying the geometric shapes on top of each other in 'THE TIME MONK PROJECT' article, to make the composite Geometric Key?

The Super Excellent Master Degree also emphasises to the Masonic candidate taking the ritual, the importance of keeping the vow that they have made in this Masonic ritual. In the ritual, there is an exhortation to '[...]let us repair the Holy Altar, and there pledge our faith, renew our vows, and demonstrate once again the ties that bind us for ever to the Most High and to one another.' The candidate is later warned of '[...]the peril of a broken vow [...]'. Towards the end of the ritual, there is a prayer by the Masters to 'Keep us faithful to our vows, and true to our obligations [...]'.

What is the vow? It is a vow '[...]never to reveal any of the secrets of this Degree to anyone who is not a Select, Royal, and Most Excellent Master.', and a vow that 'I further solemnly promise that I will not bow down to other gods, nor pay religious adoration to idols; and that I will not worship the sun, moon or stars of heaven, but will faithfully and zealously worship only the One, True and Living God.'.

The reward for keeping the first Masonic vow, the vow to not reveal the secrets, is that the members will 'be greeted as Super Excellent Masters' by their fellow Freemasons. The reward for keeping the second Masonic vow, the vow to not bow down to idols, and to 'worship only the One, True and Living God', is that they will '[...]at length be admitted to that immortal Temple eternal in the heavens.'.

The three references in this Degree to vows, but specifically, the vow to '[...]never to reveal any of the secrets of this Degree to anyone who is not a Select, Royal, and Most Excellent Master', is of interest when considered in relation to the MARANATHA book and the hunt. The reason given in 'The Slime Plonk Project' article, by the director of the company, for not revealing the complete solution of the hunt to the public, is that to do so would violate the OATHS that the research team members made FREELY to 'certain societies' PRIOR to the publication of the book, a book for a public hunt that, it seems, according to the article, could reveal the secrets of 'certain societies'.

THE TIME MONK PROJECT ARTICLE www.web.archive.org/web/20140423214912/http://www.andrewgough.co.uk/guest_timemonk.html

In explaining the paradox it became evident that the meaning and source of the information did indeed link to a society of which certain members of the group of scholars were already privately members, and therefore subject to personal oaths not to disclose any internal working of that society. [...]
Even so, the personal pressures inflicted on the original group have been so immense and the scholars will not be continuing with any form of the project (excluding this release) or revealing the remaining material in their possession. This is now held for the group’s use only and has been held secure. This decision is purely due to the hostile reactions that have been inflicted and due to the membership of core individuals to certain societies and the oaths they have taken within them (all of which existed prior to the released publications).
[...]
END QUOTE


The VOWS of the team-members are used as a reason for keeping the material for the book and the hunt private, that is, CRYPTIC. I find it interesting that in an article in which the VOWS of 'certain members' to 'certain societies' are mentioned TWICE, that the diagrams that are used in the article use the three geometric shapes used in the Super Excellent Master Degree, over and over again. Is it a geometric motif, that, in a repeated reference to the Super Excellent Master Degree, is intended to be understood to publicly re-affirm, by cryptic means, to 'certain societies' that may be watching, the team-members' fidelity to their VOWS of commitment that they swore to those societies?

If the article is a signal to Superiores Incogniti, then are these three geometric shapes used in the article a significant or actual part of the book puzzle at all? Is this article in reality, not about the book puzzle, but a public renunciation by the team-members of their own project and their prior goal?

That the result of all of the work and all of the effort for this treasure-hunt, is a return to secrecy, by the people responsible for the book and the hunt, is not super-excellent. But, it is appropriate that the last article written on the hunt by Mr. Birding, is about a S. Ex. ritual.

[rubyfelixir]

Six years and nine months ago, I had a discussion with Drunken Birding on FACEBOOK. In that discussion, D. BIRD raised the idea of the possible location of three legendary yet historical items.
D. BIRD and I also discussed the pentagonal geometry of Henry Lincoln in the matter of Rennes-le-Chateau. During the discussion, in order to prove to me a point about Lincoln's geometry, D. BIRD sent me images that he made of a pentagon set on a map of the area near the town of HEMEL HEMPSTEAD, in the shire of Hertfordshire in England.

D. BIRD's Anti-Lincoln pentagon is created from an isosceles triangle, the corners of which were attached to the village of LITTLE GADDESDEN, the town of CHESHAM, and the village of CHIPPERFIELD, located to the west of the town of HEMEL HEMPSTEAD.

 

Why did D. BIRD choose HEMEL HEMPSTEAD? What was it about the discussion that made D. BIRD think of Hemel Hempstead when he sought to provide examples to me of geometry on a map in order to dis-prove Lincoln's land-scape geometry? Was it the part of the discussion about the location of three legendary historical items? Is the town of Hemel Hempstead a location that is relevant in some way to the MARANATHA treasure-hunt and the hunt's treasured item?

D. BIRD then proceeded to send me more images of the map of the area near Hemel Hempstead, on to which D. BIRD had set a combined geometric construction of a square, a triangle, and a circle. A GEOMETRIC KEY, I suppose, if we use the term that D. BIRD used for it, in his 'THE MIME HONK PROJECT' article.

The Hemel Hempstead Key, or the HE-HE! KEY, consists of a geometric square with its top-left corner attached to the town of WIGGINTON. Inside this first square was a second square, rotated on to one of the corners of the second square. Each of the four corners of the second square touched the middle of each edge of the first square, with the northern corner of the second square attached to the hamlet of FRITHSDEN, pronounced FREEZE-DEN, the eastern corner attached to the village of NASH MILLS, and the southern corner attached to the village of CHENIES.

You know, we should collaborate on an article. Or a book. Or a ritual.


D. BIRD
Don't do books anymore. Lol. But I would certainly do an article with you.


ME
An article on what?


D. BIRD
Do you want to try and prove or disprove the Poussin Pentagram?


ME
The one in the painting?


D. BIRD
The painting, the layout in the countryside both, or either. But being objective, checking the supportive material and seeing if it's correct. I haven't done any purely Rennes stuff for ages and I have aways wanted to test this work. What do you think, but we offer a really objective piece doing pros and cons.


ME
Objective? I suspect that you are a pro con person.


D. BIRD
Lol I honestly would really like to work on it.
I would never be bothered to do it on my own. What do you think?


ME
What is the "supportive" material?
Do you mean Cornford?


D. BIRD
Lol Good point. Well, was thinking we start with all the reasons why people believe it. Cam Clayton has just posted 17 'facts' of why we should believe it. We could expand on those and then highlight the flaws in each argument. I am sure we can think of more than 17 reasons why people believe. Yeah, he listed Cornford as one.


ME
He did? OK I found the post.


D. BIRD
Lol good. What do you think? Shall we?

The thing I want to test is the pentagram and the circles. Not just to check the claim, but also to do the same test in a different place and see if I can get the same results.


ME
Uhhh...
<thinking>
I'm not sure who you think the test will convince.
I remember reading something that made me think, "Ah! That's why Henry looked for a pentagram.", but I can't remember what it was.


D. BIRD
I am not thinking of convincing anyone. It just so often people believe stuff without thinking is it true, is there another possible reason for this conclusion.
People will believe what they want to, very rarely does it relate to facts lol.


ME
The Poussin Pentagram would be the pentagram in the painting. There are two Lincoln landscape pentagrams, one regular, one irregular.


D. BIRD
Oh, yes, I had forgotten that. Be good to highlight both. Plus of course, is David Woods geometric designs and layouts.
Between you and me, what do you think the secret of Rennes is? Do you think there is one? I hate asking the question of anyone, as you know how passionate people are. I won't ask you to defend it, just curious. Don't have to say.


ME
The Secret? Who can say? THE MASTERS?


D. BIRD
Lol Many people do, including me, but in reality you are right, everything on the case can only be speculation.

How about this, ever thought that more than one theory could be right? I thought about this years ago.

For example, what if, in history, maybe in the 14th century, when books and curiosities were collectors pieces, there was a collection.
Part of the collection included a cup believed to be a grail, another item in the collection was a book of spells, or am Egyptian papyrus?
Nothing of real value, but because the papyrus looked strange and ancient the legend of Flamel was composed around it.
The individual stories around each part of the collection, ultimately pointed to were the collection was housed.
I know, it's highly unlikely, and not a shred of evidence for it, but it's one of those fun thoughts that made me smile in those 'what if days' lol.


ME
A museum? It sounds like a good idea for a novel.


D. BIRD
Lol


ME
The Priory postulated a pentagram prior to Lincoln's parsing of a pentagram.


D. BIRD
Do you think the pentagram is part of it?


ME
It's a part of something.
It seems to be a big deal in Free-Masonry.

[rubyfelixir]

D. BIRD
It isn't that big a deal in Freemasonry, the hexagram is though.

Saying that though, it was quite prominante in early craft.

No, I take it back, you are right.

I often, instantly just think of English craft, but in France and America it is more recognised.


ME
I think my feeling was that Lincoln found a way to include a pentagram to cheek the Priory.


D. BIRD
Oh, that is a good thought! Possibly to gain favour, perhaps trying to give a hint that he had solved it all?


ME
I can't remember why I thought this, but it seemed to me that Lincoln had looked for a pentagram in the surrounding land-scape, rather than found one.
I think Lincoln was just trying to annoy Plantard, because Lincoln felt that Plantard and de Cherisey were pranking him.


D. BIRD
Hmmmmm. Possibly. Apparently he was a bloke who liked to windup and annoy. Did your read about his early working with the BBC and writing for Dr who?
 
I think you are rather unique in a good way, so often researchers ignore the characteristics of a person, when trying to guess what they did. Tipping my hat. I fall to that failing often.


ME
I think that the Priory thought the pentagram as a shape was important, so Lincoln gave them one at Rennes-le-Chateau.


D. BIRD
Oh, I see. Like it!


ME
But, as I said, I can't recall why I have this opinion.


D. BIRD
Don't you hate that. When I started reading about Rennes, it was just casual, never thought of it as a study. Then when I found yourself years on, I find myself remembering reading something important but not remembering where.


ME
I might be thinking of Chaumeil's 'Golden Triangle', which is really half of one of those Golden Triangles that make up a pentagram. So it probably wasn't the pentagram that was important to the Priory, but the Golden Triangle.

Rennes-le-Chaeatu is on a plateau. Were the two other hills chosen for building on because of their height, or did someone notice that a third building could be placed on a hill to create the arrangement of a Golden Triangle in relation to the buildings on two other hills?
It's not like Lincoln moved the hills. Or built the buildings on the hills. He didn't force the fit.


D. BIRD
True, but haven't you noticed that there are other hills on the design that have to be ignored and that two of the five points of the pentagram just hits part of the hill. Its not like each point touches a pinnacle.


ME
A pentagram can be made, because of the triangle. But was a pentagram intended, or just a Golden Triangle?
What is important is whether the plateau's land-scape pentagram or the land-scape painting pentagram is relevant to whatever the Priory was up to.

The sides of the pentagram are determined by the distance of Rennes-le-Chateau to Blanchefort Castle.

IMAGE
<landscape pentagram on a map of area>

I personally don't know how it would be useful in any way to have a big land-scape pentagon like this, unless someone used it for the purpose of finding something that had been buried using the land-scape pentagram to bury that thing a certain distance from Rennes-le-Chateau and Blanchefort Castle. I mean, a researcher or a novelist could just go and "discover" something located at one of the five points if they wanted to. Instead of a Golden Triangle, the distance between Rennes-le-Chateau and Blanchefort Castle could be the side of a square or an equilateral triangle, instead of a pentagon.

D. BIRD states that this idea of his of a collection of legendary objects is something that he thought about "years ago". As my conversation with him took place in 2016, and the MARANATHA book was published waaaay back in 2005, I assume that what he means is that he was thinking about this before MARANATHA, and this would make sense, as this idea is the type of idea that would cause D. BIRD to join a group like the Research Group.

D. BIRD presented this "What if?" as just his thought experiment, but the remark "MAYBE in the 14th century", where he uses the word 'maybe' to make it seem as though this is not his definite opinion, a word use that is contradicted by his choice of a specific century, indicates to me that in fact it is definitely his opinion that the collection that he describes did exist at that time.
I think that here, D. BIRD states what he actually believes, or knows, about the objects that he refers to, and then claims that what he said was merely "speculation'.

The most interesting part of the statement for me is where D. BIRD states that
"The individual stories around each part of the collection, ultimately pointed to were the collection was housed."

First, the idea that different legendary historical objects were part of the same one collection, is an unusual idea. Who would put two or more legendary historical objects in the same location? Well, who, besides a collector, obviously. Or an independent state.
Second, the idea that each story for each object contains part of the information about the location of the collection,
and that when that information is taken from each story and combined, the combined information can identify the
single location where all of the objects are held, is unique.

A question for you, reader, before I go. Where can two or more legendary, perhaps MAGICAL, objects be found in a set?
WRITER! WAIT! I hear you shout. Do you know? I have patience in spades.

Here is a very clear lay-out of the area.
ximene.net/wp-content/gallery/my-treasure-hunt/lincolns-pentacle_0.jpg

IMAGE
<pentagram mapped onto the landscape on a photograph with a view from an angle to emphasise the topography>

Three chateaus make a Golden Triangle. The castle of Blanchefort, the chateau of Rennes-le-Chateau, and the castle of Bezu.


D. BIRD
In both cases look how many peaks exist? There are many, so many not used. The only defining length is the distance between RLC and Blanchfort, but when you draw the pentagon the remaining corners land on a hill, yes, these are long laid hills, this meaning the hills are shallow with long sloping sides, it would be difficult not to hit a hill! If this was a recognised feature, wouldn't there be a more than the distance of two settlements defining the shape? The most defining geometric quality of a pentagram is how it marks the golden mean. If only one line existed, wouldn't have those three marks highlighted?


ME
From the view at Le Pic at Lauzat QUOTE WEBSITE "It is possible to clearly identify without ambiguity all the points of the pentangle."


D. BIRD
In addition the pentagram is geometrically far from perfect.

So really, we have five hills, amongst the many that exist that almost make a pentagram if we accept a distance between two points and that the corners rest on the bank of a hill also. Surely the reality of this makes it dubious.


ME
Three locations were chosen to build buildings on. I reiterate, what you have is three chateaus positioned in a Golden Triangle arrangement.


D. BIRD
What is a golden triangle?

Geometry is not lines that almost make a regular shape, but lines that do make a perfect shape.

OK, so it's only called 'Golden' because people think it links to treasure. In geometry if a shape is golden it relates to the value of Phi.

Phi is related to a pentagram. Which is the value that seems to be missing in this geometric display and fundamental to pentagons.


ME
It is not clear to me how precise something would have to be for you to accept it, when that thing is a shape that is measured across the land-scape, on the scale of kilometres. Do we get down on our knees and get out our micro-scopin' eyes and measure the accuracy of the point of the shape on the peak of a hill to the Nth atom? Would you split the hairs of hairs?


D. BIRD
I see it rather from the other side. Why revere something that is only rare because you haven't bother red to look for it somewhere else. My step father was curious about leylines. So he drew on a map the local churches and indeed found straight lines and regular shapes. But being a scientist he checked an independent variable. He marked all the post offices in the same region and got the same results. Thus showing either that the post office worked on a secret geometric layout, or that coincidence of scale and willing to ignore other objects of the same type (like the churches, towns and hills, that are ignored and that don't fit the pattern) can also create a geometric pattern.


ME
Using your other-side eyes, you should be able to find all three chateaus on Google Earth. Off you go!
