Long before Pythagoras and Plato, there existed matrilineal societies around the Mediterranean, and Western Europe, led by women since the Ice Age. They pursued, with their children, a sophisticated understanding of astronomy and sacred science. In this detailed exploration, the first two parts decode the cosmological secrets hidden by ancient goddess-centered cultures on the islands of Malta and Crete and millennia before at Gobekli Tepe in Turkey, and Stonehenge. In part three, behind-the-scenes influences of this tradition are found in Cappadocia, the Vedas, the temple of Angkor Wat, and the Vatican’s St Peter’s basilica.

- Saturn’s “Measuring” of the Lunar Month
Video illustrated SCRIPT To measure the length of a lunar orbit, one needs to see any prominent stars that the moon is passing by in her orbit. This sort of procedure is implied in Indian astronomy, and other traditions, where the sky was first divided into 28 or 27 equal parts, called lunar mansions (nakshatras). … Continue reading “Sacred Geometry in Ancient Goddess Cultures” - Chartres 1: the cosmic coding of its towers in height
The lunar crescent atop the “moon” tower’s cross. Chartres, in north-west France, is a very special version of the Gothic transcept cathedral design. Having burnt down more than once, due to wooden ceilings, its reconstruction over many building seasons and different masonic teams, as funds permitted, would have needed strong organizing ideas to inform the … Continue reading “Chartres 1: the cosmic coding of its towers in height” - Chartres 2: the harmony in its towers
In the previous post, the difference in height of the two towers was seen to have an exoteric and an esoteric meaning. Exoterically, the taller tower is sometimes called the sun tower, probably because the globe at its top (below its cross) is about 365 feet-as-days (hence representing the sun and its year). From this … Continue reading “Chartres 2: the harmony in its towers” - Chartres 3: Design of West Façade
The design of the twin towers of Chartres point to an extraordinary understanding of its designers, quite unlike pre or modern understandings of the outer planets and their harmonic ratios. We have already seen a propensity for using the ordinary English footThe standard prehistoric foot (of 12 inches) representing a unity from which all other … Continue reading “Chartres 3: Design of West Façade” - Pauli’s Cosmic Dream

For example, Pauli’s Exclusion Principle explained … Continue reading “Pauli’s Cosmic Dream” - Alignment of Ushtogai Square to Vega

If one takes the figure of 940 feet (that is, 286.512 meters) as the side length factorizing 940 gives 20 x 47 and 47 (a prime number) times 5 gives 235 which is the number of lunar months in 19 solar years: the MetonicGreek: The continuous 19 year recurrence of the moon's phase and location amongst the stars. period. image by Google Earth - Angkor Wat and St Peter’s Basilica

Explores the relationship between ancient astronomical practices and megalithic cultures, highlighting how early societies understood time through celestial cycles. It contrasts matrilineal hunter-gatherer societies with later patriarchal agricultural ones, suggesting that megalithic structures reflect deep, sacred knowledge of the cosmos and have influenced subsequent architectural designs across civilizations.
