I direct you to my recent post to the msg brd (bigbytes) abt the Restoration of Masonic Geometry and Symbolry.
<br />

<br />
The points is that the symbolic masonic lodge floor is a scale model of the Universe featuring concentric circles and squares. I have just now produced some web pages and youtube videos that relate to this, and I would have to say, even w/out looking that the description of Atlantis /probably was /a 'map of the s.s.'.
<br />

<br />
If you look at my pages you will see that I relate the 'template' to several structures and diagram, including those used by John Michell.

            <description><![CDATA[<blockquote><h6>Lonecat wrote:</h6>Yes, these pictures are truly thought-provoking.   I have some similar pictures which I found in a magazine  some years ago which may have been the english publication <strong>Focus, </strong>though I am not sure about that.  The photos showed what appeared to be trees of some sort and deep lagoons of clear water on Mars.   I had the pages photocopied and stored them on a USB.   I don't have  that particular USB at hand at present but I will look for it this day or tomorrow and post the images a soon as I am able.   I must say that I make no claim of ownership of the pictures and if any person should feel that I am in any way breaching the rules of copyright they should inform me of this and I will withdraw the pictures and also make an apology for such an error on my part.   In fact I would be grateful indeed to have contact with the original source of such photographs.  I hope to have them on this forum by tomorrow. Lonecat</blockquote>
<br />

<br />
Here now are those pictures.   In fact I already posted them in my LONECAT IN ORBIT/18 but, as I never get any response from that I thought it would be a good idea to place them here too, where they will be seen. <img src="http://www.book-of-thoth.com/modules/Forums/images/smiles/smiley.gif" alt="Smile" border="0" /> The third link clearly shows free-standing water in a sort of lake or lagoon.  You can also see the tips of rocks protruding from the water.   If you enlarge the image you will be able to read the fragments of text in English that accompany the photographs.   I really think it is time for some authority, maybe NASA, to come out with some sort of statement on thes photos.   Yesterday I checked with german websites about &quot;Wood on Mars&quot; and  one person wrote in to say that he was more interested in the shing object in the background of the picture than in the &quot;log&quot; itself.

            <description><![CDATA[On Sunday, November 30, NASA wrapped up another successful Space Shuttle Mission, when Endeavour touched down in California at the Edwards Air Force Base at 16:25:06 PM (EST) / 21:25:06 PM (GMT).
<br />

<br />
Originally scheduled to land at the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral, low Clouds and high altitude Crosswinds forced the landing delay and re-route to California.
<br />

<br />
The total Mission duration was 15 days 20 Hours 29 Minutes and 37 Seconds, covering 6.6 Million Miles (10,6 Million Kilometres) through 250 orbits around Earth.
<br />

<br />
The next Space Shuttle Mission will start on February 12, 2009, with the Space Shuttle Discovery blasting off.

            <description><![CDATA[<strong>HELLO FROM OUTER SPACE.  </strong> 
<br />
 
<br />
This is Lonecat still orbiting within the Earth-Moon sytem but wondering when my next fuel supply is going to arrive.   Out here, although I am still relatively close to Earth, and can hardly call this &quot;outer&quot; space, I can't help feeling a little cramped and wanting to get out and about.   There is so much universe out there to take into consideration and probably much, much more that lies beyond our wildest imaginings.   The question of &quot;life on Mars&quot; (or anywhere else, come to that, outside of our cosy little planet Earth) is one that simply will not go away.   However, there is mounting evidence they we may not be aware that what is being discovered on Mars is not being relayed to the general public in its entirety.  Mensa517  sparked quite a bit of interest or should I say &quot;re-awakened&quot; conciousness of evidence discovered on Mars quite a few years ago, now, but was not generally made known in the media, of life on the Red Planet.  He writes:
<br />
      &quot;All I can say is that now maybe the truth will fully leak out. Of course there are many of us, me for one, who know, inherently, Mars id full of life. I have always felt kinship with the planet and as a child would often look up and wish i was back home on Mars. Here is a link to the article and pictures. it's up to you to discern if this was photo shopped or is the real deal&quot;.
<br />
LEAKED MARS PHOTO 
<br />
 
<br />
And here is one that Whitetiger sent in and you can check it out on the Astronomy forum.  So, what is going on?   Is there really life on Mars or not?   The photos seems to show that the answer is yes but there will always be people will claim all photographs that do not suit their own particular beliefs are either fake, or, to go to the Debunkers' extreme, are the result of &quot;dust particles&quot; or &quot;moisture droplets&quot;  or faulty equipment.   Very well if these pictures can be explained thus easily...how was it done?  What is the explanation?  
<br />

   The following links are pictures I got from an english magazine, I believe, possibly FOCUS, about two or three years ago.   I had to look for these on my USBs or memory sticks in order to find them as I have stated on the Astronomy forum.   Please check it out.  Anyway, I found the pictures and they certainly relate closely to the pictures sent in by Mensa517 and WhiteTiger

 Here now are two successive pictures of Mars taken from Orbit which seem to show ancient waterways and... could those be trees or some kind of plant life on the high ground?

<strong> THE SARGASSO SEA FROM SPACE</strong>

We do not often here of the legendary Sargasso Sea which is suppose the entrap ships in its thick mass of floating sea/weed.   Well, here at last we can see this strange sea from space.   Just click below and read what the text has to say

<strong>THE INCONSTANT MOON WEBSITE</strong>
<br />
  Inconstant Moon is larger than some people realise. It is arranged into observational excursions, themed features and an interactive atlas. As with Moon itself, exploration will often be rewarded by unexpected discoveries! The Site Tour is designed to give you - in about 25 steps - a feel for the layout and navigation of the site, and reveal some of the features which otherwise might be overlooked in a brief visit. 
<br />
 
<br />
 I recommend you take a tour of this website.   We think we know the Moon like the back of our hand as it is such a familiar sight in the sky, morning, even and night.   However this website will tell you a lot of things about the Moon that will surprise you.

<strong>METEORS AND WHERE THEY COME FROM</strong>
<br />
 
<br />
Posted: Fri Nov 28, 2008 5:39 pm 
<br />
Hey, Cristalsage, that is a very good question indeed. I have often wondered that and have tried to develop some theory of how meteorites could get chipped off a planet in the first place. In the second place I would like to know how any person can actually take a meteorite in his hand and confidently state that this meteorite came from this planet or that. Graham Hancock gives some sort of clue in his fascinating book The Mars Mystery but this eems to indicate that meteorites that are alleged to come from Mars must have been hurled off the surface of Mars by some catastrophic collision with an enormous body in the distant past. How anybody is able to assert that a given lump of meteoric rock or metal came from Mars I do not know. As for Earth rocks landing on other planets, I suppose the great collision between the Earth and what is referred to as a Mars sized body could have given rise to a large number of fragments thrown into solar and terrestrial orbits with the ones in terrestrial orbits eventually accreting to form the Moon and those in solar orbits eventually being so far flung as eventually to cross the orbits of Venus and Mars, thus carrying bits from our world to other planets. Personally I wonder if the Mars sized object might have indeed been Mars itself and the force of the colliision with the early Earth sent it spinning out into its present orbit. This would also account for the massive loss of Mar's water and the vast quantity of water on Earth. I intend to keep up my studies on this matter. Thanks for your cogent postings with those interesting links Crystasage.

  Though I thought this video amusing, even funny, I was  perturbed by the logical-sounding arguments, which an unwary viewer might even accept as fact.  It is worth watching, whichever way you view this argument.

<strong>Now</strong>, almost to end, here is another stunning astro picture.  I hope you like it.  Makes you think, does it not?

<br />
<strong>   And, very finally</strong>, here is a picture I took on a very cold, night Saturday night (29th of Nov.)  I was coming away from a friend's flat after watering his plants and noticed the two very bright planets Venus and Jupiter.   As Venus and Jupiter were alligned with Earth, I took the far brighter of the two to be Venus.   I had no astronomical equipments with me but I did have my trusty little digital camera.  So, I took a picture, just in case, with full zoom and no flash.   As you can see, my hand was unsteady but at least you can see the curvature of Venus's surface.  You may even discern certain bright markings.  The blurry tail is due to the low temperature and consquently my unsteady hand.   Enlarge it as much as you can and you will see what I mean.   Goodbye again until next week!

            <link>http://www.book-of-thoth.com/ftopict-18880.html</link>
            <description><![CDATA[The way I understand it, is that you can tell where a meteoroid originated by looking at its chemical make-up. Every body in the solar system seems to have a unique make-up (i.e., the ratio of Carbon12 to Carbon13, for instance). By performing a chemical analysis on a meteoroid &amp; comparing it to the known make-up of planets &amp; asteroids, one could definitely state that this one came from Mars (or Venus, or.....etc.).
<br />

<br />
It is highly likely that pieces of Earth are floating around somewhere, until their orbit takes them into contact with another body. The impact at Chicxulub was large enough to have thrown debris out of Earth's gravity well, and into solar orbit. The smaller the body, the easier it is to send debris out of the gravity well. Luna, with roughly 1/6 the gravity of Earth, would only take an impact by a body a few meters wide to toss debris off of the surface (there are many, many craters on Luna this big or larger).]]></description>
