The April 5, 1909, edition of the Arizona Gazette featured an article entitled “Explorations in Grand Canyon: Remarkable finds indicate ancient people migrated from the Orient.” According to the article, the expedition was financed by the Smithsonian Institute and discovered artefacts that would, if verified, turn conventional history on its ear. Inside a cavern “hewn in solid rock by human hands” were found tablets bearing hieroglyphics, copper weapons, statues of Egyptian deities and mummies. Although highly intriguing, the truth of this story is in doubt simply because the site has never been re-found.
Key Points
The Smithsonian disavows all knowledge of the discovery, and several expeditions searching for the cavern have come up empty-handed. Was the article just a hoax? “While it cannot be discounted that the entire story is an elaborate newspaper hoax,” writes researcher/explorer David Hatcher Childress, “the fact that it was on the front page, named the prestigious Smithsonian Institution, and gave a highly detailed story that went on for several pages, lends a great deal to its credibility. It is hard to believe such a story could have come out of thin air. ”
On April 5th, 1909, a front page story appeared in the Arizona Gazette. It told of an archaeological expedition in the heart of the Grand Canyon funded by the Smithsonian Institute. It is a rich story of finding a labyrinth of man-made tunnel systems high above the Colorado River, a virtual citadel filled with ancient artifacts, hieroglyphs, armor, statues of deities, and even mummies. Anyone contacting the Smithsonian Institute will receive a polite “no records found” reply to an inquiry about their supposed role in the Grand Canyon.
The following narration shows how I came to be convinced of an exact location in the Grand Canyon that is key to this story (regardless of whether the newspaper article is a hoax or not), and contains mathematical proof. This story also reveals an ancient cartographic code that led me to this conclusion and the meaningful coincidences that unfolded as I pursued this mystery. The location is known as “Isis Temple” and is paramount in a well-kept secret that is just now being uncovered in ways far richer and more important than material wealth. The cherished gem of Arizona, the Grand Canyon, one of the seven natural wonders of the world, contains a legacy and a link to a history known only by a few; suppressed not only by greed and politics, but by a forgotten code hidden right beneath our very feet. It is all beginning to come to light now.
I first came across the information about the newspaper article in 1998 via the www. To satisfy my curiosity, I went to the Phoenix Public Library, found the article on microfilm and made a few photocopies of it. I didn’t give it too much thought at the time, other than mentioning it from time to time to people who attend free speaking engagements and classes I offer. As a 30 year independent researcher in the field of sacred geometry (also known as hyper-dimensional geometry, living geometry, and alchemical geometry) and other related subjects, I found the Egypt topic synchronistic, as much of my research revolved around the ancient schools of thought and geometry of Egypt’s sacred sites and temples.Like others, I thought it was rather odd that, if indeed the article was not a hoax, evidence of ancient Egyptians would be found in Arizona, of all places! ..After all, the Egyptians did not explore the Americas; everyone knew that, and it was not taught in any school. We thought this also of the ancient Romans, until ancient Roman headgear, armor, swords, coins, and other artefacts were found just north of Tucson, not far from Interstate 10 !
For now that the subject has come up about suppressed information, if indeed that is what it is, there is a well researched book of 914 pages by Michael Cremo and Richard Thompson titled Forbidden Archeology, which can open anyone’s third eye to a history of mankind that has never been taught, except in those’mystery schools’ so well cloaked in myth, secrecy, and ridicule.
Then in October of 2000, I came upon another web site that had lots of information and photos of Egyptian hieroglyphs found a hundred years ago in Australia ! The hieroglyphs were on the stone wall next to a cave entrance, and they told of ancient Egyptian explorers getting lost and stranded, left to die in Australia.
At around the same time, I happened to read in a book titled “Ancient Secrets of The Flower of Life,” Vol. II, page 302, the story of two backpackers who ventured into the Grand Canyon. What they claimed to have found first, while on their way to a location known as Isis Temple, was a rather large pyramid made from the native rock. Once at Isis Temple, at an elevation of about 800 feet, they claimed to have seen several cave entrances, just as reported in the newspaper article. They also noticed that they all seemed to be sealed shut or destroyed, as if to keep everyone out. (The question here arises, why the deliberate sealing of caves in such a remote, hard to access area?) Because they were also expert rock climbers, they climbed the 800 feet to the most promising looking cave entrance. Upon reaching the entrance, they discovered that it too had been sealed off several feet inside with native rock. They did notice, however, that the entrance seemed to be man-made and that there was a 6 foot circular pattern clearly hewn into the ceiling. This story was told to the author of the book, and from the context of the material presented in the book and from the nature of the author’s character, with whom I am familiar, I could not for the life of me imagine why such a story would be fabricated and told to him unless it were absolutely true.
And yet, Isis Temple (which can be seen from the South Rim visitor areas) is at least 40 miles from the location given in the newspaper article. So, if the newspaper article was not a hoax and Isis Temple was the real location, the other location could have been misinformation to keep people away. Then again, if the newspaper article was a hoax, then what then had the two backpackers stumbled upon ? And why were extremely remote cave entrances sealed ?
A question arises here also: why are there so many geographical locations in the Grand Canyon named after Egyptian and Hindu deities?
Then, approximately two weeks later, on October 13, channel 10 (one of our local TV stations), did a short segment on their weekly TV news magazine show about the 1909 article and some local people actively looking for it at the Canyon. I contacted the producer of the segment and left my name and phone number, telling him to give it to a couple of the people he had interviewed, as I could supply them with this information regarding Isis Temple. At the very least, they could go with good telescopes and look for cave entrances from the rim to confirm their existence. Simple.
As of yet, no one has called me back.
I plan to check the condition and strength of my old telescope and go there myself soon. A severely damaged disc in my back prevents me from an actual backpacking trip to Isis Temple, as the trip is extremely arduous and requires at least six days of backpacking in some of the most challenging terrain on the planet.
The next thing I did was call the “Back Country” information line (520-638-7875) at the Grand Canyon, where permits are bought for backpacking and extended hikes, both on and off trails. The lady was very talkative, polite, and helpful. She even suggested two books I should read on possible routes to Isis Temple since there are no trails to it. Then I casually brought up the subject of possibly exploring caves I had heard about at Isis Temple and asked her if she could confirm their existence. Her reply was a simple, but emphatic “NO.” Then a long pause. Then, very curtly, she said the Park Dept. was about to engage in a canyon-wide research project into the bat population and habitation, to make sure they were not being endangered. She said everyone was to stay out of caves. That ended our conversation. Interesting, but not conclusive.
In the meantime, this whole thing was getting under my curious skin a bit. I decided to approach the subject a little differently. I was going to see if there was a geometrical connection between Isis Temple and the Great Pyramid of Giza. Why the Great Pyramid? From my knowledge of sacred geometry, I knew it to be a central figure in a planetary grid system. As a former avid backpacker myself, and having some knowledge of cartology, it took me no time to get the exact longitude and latitude of the centre of Isis Temple. I then began searching on the web for the exact coordinates of the centre of the Great Pyramid in Egypt.
That’s when things started to turn really curious and informative.
My web search brought me more than I could have hoped for. It led me to the work of a man named Carl Munck. Over ten years ago, he had started doing a similar thing that I was attempting, but he had started at Stonehenge, trying to find a longitude/latitude relationship with the Great Pyramid. His continued work led to the discovery of what is now called Archeocartology, and the key to the system is using the Great Pyramid as the Prime Meridian rather than Greenwich . What he had done was eventually find a whole code system that the ancients knew about and had used in determining where to place sacred temples and sacred sites. It is simply known as THE CODE, or Code of the Ancients. He has several books out on the subject, a newsletter and several videos.
THE CODE provides factual, mathematically provable evidence that all ancient sites, megaliths, temples, stone circles, effigies, and certain natural formations and vortexes worldwide are very precisely located on a global coordinate system in relation to the Great Pyramid. Not only that, but an ancient numerology system known as Gematria (used by Egyptians, Greeks, Persians, Babylonians, Romans, and others of the ancient world) is used in the manipulation of the numbers that relates the numbers to other key locations, mathematical constants such as Pi and the radian, and the positions of the sites themselves given in the geometry of their physical construction.
GEMATRIA and THE CODE can be considered to be “whole brain” methodologies. In other words, both the bi-lateral functions of the brain must be employed to achieve applicable and functional results. Or, the left, rational/verbal/lineal, side of the brain and the right, intuitive/imaginative/non-lineal, side must work together, in much the same way as when viewing stereo-gram images, sometimes known as “Magic Eye” pictures also. (Those pictures that were popular a few years back that looked like just a mass of coloured dots when first seen, but after gazing in a particular manner for a while, a complete 3-D picture or scene “popped” out to your vision. Children and young adults typically have an easier time seeing the pictures because their left-brain, rational, thinking habits have not yet been completely absorbed, and their right-brain, creative side is more flexible.
The Code of Carl Munck dovetails perfectly with the planetary grid system and the related Platonic Grid Lines found by Ivan Sanderson, Bruce Cathie, William Becker, and Bethi Hagens. The world grid system is commonly known as the Unified Vector Geometry 120 Polyhedron. Interestingly enough, THE CODE is also applicable to the Planet Mars, when the North/South Prime Meridian passes exactly through the nose of the famous “Face” in the Cydonia area and the “D & M Pyramid”.
Still with me? I hope so, because this is all mathematically verified.
Aside from the obvious question that this arouses regarding how such ancient people could have knowledge of such a system and implement it for thousands of years, (which, because there is no short answer to that question, I will not address here), there is also the question of how such feats were accomplished with so much accuracy without the aid of modern technology, like our Global Positioning System (GPS), which uses satellite telemetry and computer accuracy to achieve what the ancients accomplished with … what ?
When this sort of question arises in my talks and classes, I pull out an object to demonstrate the dynamics of geometry and simplicity. It is a solid object with no moving parts or batteries, and it fits in your hand. It has a unique property about it that no one on Earth, that I am aware of, can explain. (and it has been under heavy scrutiny by some of the best minds in engineering and physics at university levels). It absolutely defies one of the basic laws of physics and motion.
People usually gasp and can’t believe their eyes when they first see what this object does. And it does this without high technology. I show it to them over and over again, and let them try it for themselves, and it always works. And the key to the object is in its proportions, its shape, its geometry…the mathematics involved. Plain and simple. (Ask me and I’ll show it to anyone at any time, anyplace. (It is not my invention and has been around for almost 30 years, yet few people know of it.)
If you know the key to something, or have something that employs the key, optional methodologies are available to use. It is obvious the ancients had optional methodologies for finding, plotting, and implementing building sites based upon a longitude and latitude not all that dissimilar to our own. It is also obvious from the data that the ancients knew exactly where the equator was and employed it.
Another device that should be mentioned is a survey and navigational tool designed by Crichton Miller, who received a patent on it just recently in the United Kingdom. The device is nothing more than two pieces of straight wood formed into a cross with a pivot point where they meet, a plumb line coming down from the pivot point, and a semi-circular scale (similar to a protractor) attached. It looks very much like a Celtic Cross. It is very accurate and requires no batteries. (For more information, A book about the device is due in the spring of 2001. It is believed this device, or similar, was used in surveying for the Great Pyramid and was also employed as a navigational tool for ocean-going explorations. And speaking of accuracy, as well as complexity of problem solving capabilities with no complex technology or batteries, think for a minute of the slide rule and the abacus.
Anyway, back to the story here…
Well, now I had the longitude and latitude of the Great Pyramid, and a mathematical system for finding a relationship between Isis Temple and the Great Pyramid. But, I got lazy here. I contacted Michael Lawrence Morton, (Also, I gave him the coordinates for Isis Temple and let him do the math and find the mathematical correspondence. Since Michael was very familiar with THE CODE, also familiar with all the mathematical constants and numerous other sites and their mathematical connections, and had also discovered and applied THE CODE to the local stars and astronomy (the Archeo-Sky Matrix ), I felt confident in his abilities and expertise.
In his words, Isis Temple is a”…major… major site !!!” This he could safely say with confidence because the numbers related to so many other major sites, including the Great Pyramid, and with numbers typically accurate to complete whole numbers, to within 7 and 8 decimal places, and decimal harmonics from 7 to 8 decimal places !
The following is a brief synopsis of just some of the mathematical connections to Isis Temple. The search is still ongoing. The statistics relating to certain “dates of occurrences” and the gematria of a personal nature that were found have been left out. The math proof of the following findings is attached at the end of this narration, with full credit graciously attributed to Carl Munck and especially Michael Lawrence Morton, without whom this search would have come to a dead halt.
Isis Temple is mathematically connected to
* decimal harmonic of the East longitude of the Sphinx at Giza * decimal harmonic of the West longitude of the Chephren Pyramid at Giza * decimal harmonic of the tangent of arc-distance from Earth’s equator to either pole * radius of the Moon * ratio of radius of Stonehenge’s Sarsen Circle and Radian (deg) * decimal harmonic of the generic area of a circle * grid point value of the star Sirius, circa 2000
At this point, it doesn’t matter if Isis Temple is the location mentioned in the 1909 article. At this point, it doesn’t matter if the article was a hoax or not. Maybe it doesn’t matter if archaeological information has been withheld from the public (in this regard, I am more inclined to believe it is a matter of information filtration brought about by a social process rather than a conspiracy). Maybe it doesn’t matter if there are or are not sealed caves in Isis Temple. But I, for one, will continue the search. There is still a vast treasure to behold that makes that which we carry in our pocket quite moot when compared to the big picture.
The Archeocartographic findings of ISIS TEMPLE are based upon THE CODE of Carl Munck and the ARCHEO-SKY MATRIX Code, mathematics, and correlations found by Michael Lawrence Morton.
Isis Temple is located north of the Equator and west of the Great Pyramid of Giza at 36 deg 08 min 27 sec N and 143 deg 16 min 14.8 sec W.G.
36 x 8 x 27 = 7776 N. 143 x 16 x 14.8 = 33862.4 W.G.
33862.4/37776 = 4.3547325 G.P. (grid point)
4.353957151 (GP) = Pi x 1.177245771 x 1.177245771 (1.177245771 = ratio of the radius of Stonehenge’s Sarsen Circle in British feet and Radian (deg.).1.177245771 = 57.29577951 / 48.6693441.
4.353957151 (G.P.) x 248.0502134 = 1080 (248.0502134 = Great Pyramid grid point value; 1080 = mean radius of the Moon in statute miles; and 1080 is also the feminine gematrian number for alchemical fusion where 1080 + 666 = 1746)
33862.4 (W.G) x 57.29577951 x 57.29577951 = 10.31324031 (Pi x 57.29577951 x 57.29577951 = 10313.24031)
10.31324031 = 4.3539557149 (G.P.) x 2.368705056 ( 2.368705056 = grid point value of the binary star Sirius, circa 2000 a.d. )
270/4.353957149 (G.P.) = (P x 19.7392088) 270 is the average number of human gestation days…divided by Isis’s Temple grid point value of 4.353957149 = the grid point value of the binary star Regulus, star in the heart of the Lion constellation Leo, or 19.7392088 x Pi. 270 = 9 x 30, and 30 is the grid point value of the intersection of 7th Ave. and Indian School Rd. in Phoenix, Arizona, which is where, on March 13, 1997, at 8:30 p.m., the “Phoenix UFO” was witnessed to hover for 4 minutes. March 13, 1997, is 5764 days before December 21, 2012 a.d., the end of the Mayan calendar. (576.414166073 is the derived original full height, including capstone, of the Great Pyramid in regular British inches. )
30 divided by 4.353957149 (GP) equals 6.890283706 (6.890283706 = arc-minutes East of Mars Prime Meridian = latitude of “The Face” at Cydonia.)
