Bruce Cathie Maps the World Grid with Gridpoint Atlas

ALBA is a synchrotron radiation facility in Cerdanyola del Vallès near Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. It was constructed and is now operated by the CELLS consortium (Consortium for the Exploitation of the Synchrotron Light Laboratory), and co-financed by the Spanish and Catalan governments.

After almost ten years of planning and design by the Spanish scientific community, the project was approved in 2002. The facility was redesigned in 2004 and construction was started in 2006. The laboratory was officially opened for experiments on March, 2010.

A few months ago, we were studying the placement of all the world’s particle accelerators to see their relationships to the World Grid. After plotting the World Grid for this area in Gridpoint Atlas, we viewed the plot in Google Earth and saw what is shown above.

This is one of the more interesting plots we’ve come across. Obviously, the precise placement of the facility was no accident.

In checking religious temples and sites on the World Grid, we have found many, many hits. Here are three examples that will be very interesting to you. The fact that they are placed on grid lines is very telling and is proof that the builders of these places had access to ancient knowledge.

Angkor Wat is a temple complex in Angkor, Cambodia. Built for King Suryavarman II in the early 12th century as his state temple and capital city. As the best-preserved temple at the site, it is the only one to have remained a significant religious centre since its foundation.

It is the world’s largest religious building. The temple is at the top of the high classical style of Khmer architecture. It has become a symbol of Cambodia, appearing on its national flag, and it is the country’s prime attraction for visitors. Angkor Wat combines two basic plans of Khmer temple architecture: the temple mountain and the later galleried temple, based on early South Indian Hindu architecture, with key features such as the Jagati. It is designed to represent Mount Meru, home of the devas in Hindu mythology: within a moat and an outer wall 3.6 kilometres (2.2 mi) long are three rectangular galleries, each raised above the next. At the centre of the temple stands a quincunx of towers.

Unlike most Angkorian temples, Angkor Wat is oriented to the west; scholars are divided as to the significance of this. The temple is admired for the grandeur and harmony of the architecture, its extensive bas-reliefs, and for the numerous devatas (guardian spirits) adorning its walls.

Sri Padmanabhaswamy temple is a Hindu temple located in Thiruvananthapuram, India. The shrine, dedicated to Lord Vishnu, is currently run by a trust headed by the royal family of Travancore.

In June 2011, the Supreme Court directed the authorities from the archaeology department and fire services to open the secret chambers of the temple for inspection of the items kept inside. The review of the temple’s underground vaults lead to the enumeration of a vast collection of treasures that are traditionally kept under lock and key. The detailed inventory revealed gold, jewels, and other valuables, and has solidified the Padmanabhaswamy temple to be one of the wealthiest temples in India. The final estimate of wealth to said to be US$7.14 billion.

Readers in the US will immediately recognize this as the famous Temple Square in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. It is the worldwide headquarters of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS), also known as the Mormon church.

Temple Square is a ten acre complex located in the center of Salt Lake City, Utah. In recent years, the usage of the name has gradually changed to include several other church facilities immediately adjacent to Temple Square. Contained within Temple Square proper are the Salt Lake Temple, Salt Lake Tabernacle, Salt Lake Assembly Hall, the Seagull Monument and two visitors’ centers.

What makes this place unique is that it is positioned where four different resolution grid lines (30′, 7.5′, 6′ and 1′) line up in the same place. So far, this is the only religious site we have found to have this characteristic. This means that undoubtedly, the founders of the church had access to very advanced knowledge. People can argue whether they knew the information or were given it. Some will even say they were led to the exact place. However, that is a debate we will leave to others. All we are saying is that the placement of Temple Square could not have been an accident.

You may have wondered if some of the world’s most famous chateaus and palaces are built on the World Grid. Many are.

We have looked at hundreds of sites and want to show three examples. Enjoy!

The screenshot above is of the Chateau Azay-le-Rideau in Azay-le-Rideau, France. It was built from 1515 to 1527, and is one of the earliest French Renaissance châteaux. Built on an island in the Indre River at Azay-le-Rideau, its foundations rise straight out of the water.

The Treasurer-General of the Finances of France under King Francis I and mayor of Tours, began reconstructing Azay-le-Rideau’s earlier medieval castle, that was part of his wife’s inheritance. However, it was his wife, Philippe Lesbahy, who directed the course of the works, including its central internal staircase (escalier d’honneur) that is Azay’s greatest most remarkable feature, inspired by the staircase at Châteaudun.

As you can see, a 6′ grid line goes right through the chateau.

The Sans-Souci Palace in Potsdam, Gemany was the royal residence of King Henri I (better known as Henri Christophe) of Haiti, Queen Marie-Louise and their two daughters. It was the most important of nine palaces built by the king, as well as fifteen châteaux, numerous forts, and sprawling summer homes on his twenty plantations.

Here, a 7.5′ grid line goes right through the building.

The final example is the site of the former Stadtschloss Palace in Berlin, Germany. It was the principal residence (winter residence) of the Hohenzollern Kings of Prussia from 1701 to 1918 (the German Emperors from 1871 to 1918) and a museum following the fall of the German Empire in 1918.

The palace was damaged by Allied bombing in World War II. Although it was possible to repair the palace at considerable expense, it was demolished in 1950 by the German Democratic Republic (GDR) authorities. This was protested greatly by the West Germans. Following the reunification of Germany, it was decided to rebuild the Stadtschloss on the original site.

We can see that a 6′ grid line goes right through the site. Also notice that the same grid line goes through the Berlin Dome, just above the palace.

These are just a small number of examples of the world’s chateaus and palaces there were built on major World Grid lines. Further proof that this knowledge has been available to the world’s elite for hundreds and also thousands of years.

Recently, we have been looking at Particle Accelerator sites around the world. Perhaps 75% of these sites are on major or minor grid lines. A large majority of them are on major grid lines. Some are on multiple grid lines, both major and minor.

We have found that particle accelerators that have relationships to the World Grid can be broken down into two groups. Those that have a grid line going through the center of the accelerator, and those that have a grid line going through the rim of the accelerator. We have selected one example of each type for you to look at.

The first site is Argonne National Laboratory in Argone, Illinois, USA. Here, a 7.5′ grid line goes through the center of the accelerator ring.

The second example is of Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, New York, USA. Here a 6′ grid line goes through the rim of the accelerator ring.

We hope this information is both interesting and instructive for you.
