Grid of the Gods (24 page)

Modern students of ancient metrology, or units of measure, have been hampered by their use of the irrelevant metric system in their researches. The French metre is a modern contrivance of the late eighteenth century, based on an inaccurately measured quarter of the earth’s circumference through the poles, of which the metre was made a ten-millionth part. This new-fangled unit bears no relation to any ancient unit, and by using it for antiquarian research modern scholars have concealed from themselves the key to the elucidation of ancient metrology. The key is in number. All the ancient units relate to each other, and to the dimensions of the earth, by the same code of number as is found in every other ancient form of art and science.
⁹⁷

Note carefully what is being implied here: the ancient units of measure are derived from the earth, these in turn give rise to certain recurrent numbers, present in the dimensions of the Grid structures only if one used some form of ancient measure. And more
importantly, these same numbers are “found in every other ancient form of art and science,” namely in the numbers hidden by gematria in
texts
.

Succinctly stated, Michell is saying that
texts are architecture, and architecture is text
¸ and that when certain numbers are found, the purpose of both is alchemical in that the ultimate purpose is the manipulation of the physical medium — the Philosophers’ Stone — itself.
⁹⁸

A review — necessarily short — of Michell’s research on number and measure will show why this is so. One of the first points to be observed is that the English imperial, Roman, and Greek units of the measurement of length are all related to each other in the ratio of 24:25. Thus,

1) 24 English miles of 5280 feet equal 25 Greek miles of 5068.8 feet; and in turn,

2) 24 Greek miles of 5068.8 feet equal 25 Roman miles of 4866.048 feet.
⁹⁹

If one divides the Greek and Roman miles by 5000, one obtains the measures of the Greek and Roman foot, and 6000 Greek feet and 6250 Roman feet in turn comprise “one minute of a degree of latitude.”
¹⁰⁰
When the meridian circumference of the Earth — 24,883.2 miles — is measured by the Roman and Greek units, some very interesting numbers begin to occur, for that measure converts to:

    135,000,000 Roman feet of .09732096 ft.

    90,000,000 Roman cubits of 1.4598144 ft.

    216,000 Roman furlongs of 608.256 ft.

    27,000 Roman miles of 4866.048 ft.

    129,600,000 Greek feet of 1.10376 ft.

    84,400,000 Greek cubits of 1.152064 ft.

    207,360 Greek furlnogs of 633.6 ft.

   
25, 920 Greek miles of 5068.8 ft.
¹⁰¹

But that is not all; Michell observes that, “All these multiples are canonical numbers, representing powers and multiples of the number twelve.”
¹⁰²
Or put differently, all are multiples of the number
six
and
sixty
, the basis of the ancient Sumerian sexagesimal system of measures and numbers. Note also that the last number — 25,920 — is close to the amount of time for the precession of the equinoxes of the Earth to complete one revolution.

These numbers, essentially all multiples of six, composed a numerical canon that “was once possessed by civilizations world-wide”
¹⁰³
as a kind of universal numerical “grimoire.” For example, one such number, 5040, is divisible not only by six, but by all
other
numbers up to ten, and is moreover a peculiar number in another way, for 1 × 2 × 3 × 4 × 5 × 6 × 7 = 5040 = 7 × 8 × 9 × 10.
¹⁰⁴
That bit of arithmetical magic would not be so extraordinary in and of itself, except for the fact that its harmonic, 50.4 feet, is the mean diameter of the lintel ring at Stonehenge, which incorporates many more such numbers into the dimensions of the structure.
¹⁰⁵

While it is tempting to get lost in these numerical excursions, the important point to bear in mind is that since most structures on the world Grid embody many of these numbers in their dimensions in a kind of “architectural gematria,” the implication is rather obvious, namely, that “the ancient philosophers were concerned above all to seek out the patterns in number which correspond to those in nature, and to set them up as models in the conduct of human affairs.”
¹⁰⁶
However, since these numbers were viewed as cosmological processes, components of the great machine of the heavens, there was another purpose for embodying them in structures:

In the design of temples, to give human satisfaction was only one part of the architect’s purpose. The chief object for which a temple was built
was to attract the gods or forces in nature to which it was dedicated.
This was done by the use of the principle of sympathetic resonance or ‘like attracts like’.
Each temple was so framed as to include symbolic reference to the appropriate deity. It was oriented according to the season and the heavenly body corresponding to that deity, whose characteristic numbers were also expressed in the dimensions of the building. Certain patterns of number, each with corresponding musical and geometric types, represented certain aspects of universal energy.
¹⁰⁷

It is important once again to pause and reflect on what Michell is really implying here, given its context in the wider alchemical context of “as above, so below,”
for this means that such architecture was a direct attempt — if one may be permitted to employ the modern physics term for “sympathetic resonance” and “sympathetic magic” — to construct coupled harmonic oscillators capable of manipulating the physical medium itself.

We have come a long and winding trail from the first tests of hydrogen bombs with their anomalously high yields, through the glimmers of a political geomancy practiced by Nazis and other researchers into the Grid system, through a profoundly sophisticated “topological metaphor” of the primordial “masculine-adrogyous trinity” at Angkor Wat and various ancient texts, and finally to the beginning glimpses of an alchemical architecture on a truly global scale, an architecture encompassing numbers recurrent across the globe, an architecture that summons the image of modern man living inside a vast ruined machine of great antiquity. We have seen, too, the first stirrings of something dark and sinister in the form of bloody sacrifice hanging over some of this project. This program was so large, and so old, that one cannot help but entertain that this whole process was the product of some elite coordinating the project.

In the remaining chapters of this book, we will explore those cultures that said the most about numbers and music, that are so self-evidently identified with pyramids and antiquity, and that are even identified with human sacrifice. In short, we will focus our attention on the ancient sites of Central and South America, on Mesopotamia, and of course, on the center of it all, Egypt, to see if we can peel back the layers of this machine, and to see if, lurking underneath, there
may be the suggestions of a profoundly sophisticated, and all but lost, physics and technology of the manipulation of the medium and of consciousness.

Before we do so, however, a more detailed review of what we have encountered in previous chapters is in order.
