OUR ANCESTORS CAME FROM OUTER SPACE<br />
tiny pyramid of Falicon on a mountain above Nice, built in 1260<br />
by Crusaders who had returned from Jerusalem, is exactly 1/288<br />
the scale of Cheops. This number, 288, is known to us from the<br />
Temple of Kalasasaya in Tiahuanaco and its calendar year of 288<br />
days. Why the Crusaders who built the pyramid in Falicon chose<br />
this scale of 1/288 is not known but the precise proportions with<br />
the Great Pyramid should not surprise anybody because the<br />
Crusaders on their way and back from Jerusalem passed the<br />
original one.<br />
Much more surprising is the study made of some of the great<br />
cathedrals in France and their mathematical structure, where<br />
again astounding similarities with the Great Pyramid of Cheops<br />
crop up. The monumental cathedral of Chartres shows the same<br />
constants and proportions as the pyramid and, above all,<br />
seems<br />
to be of much older age in its original foundations taken over<br />
from a previous pagan temple on the same site. The standard<br />
foot of Chartres that was used to construct the cathedral was<br />
0.3684 m. The length of a longitude degree at Chartres is 73,680<br />
m, exactly 200,000 of these feet.<br />
The most surprising derivative of this dimension is the cubic<br />
foot of Chartres. It equals 50 Hters or 50 kg of water—when there<br />
was no metric system 1<br />
The cathedral of Reims is farther north than Chartres and<br />
there the dimension of the basic foot is 0.3557 m, also proportional<br />
to the local latitude, and the cubic foot weight is 45 liters<br />
or kg of water; but this is the Russian standard unit of weight<br />
called pood.<br />
The cathedrals of France have another mystery in the pattern<br />
of their placement. If you paste over the map of France little<br />
gold stars in Abbeville, Amiens, Bayeux, Chartres, Evreux, Laon,<br />
Le Mans, Paris, Reims, and Rouen, where the most famous cathedrals<br />
stand in the middle of the cities, you have the same<br />
configuration as the stars in the constellation of Virgo. The main<br />
star in Virgo is Spica; this brilliant star has always been venerated<br />
as the goddess of fertility and maternity. In the group of<br />
cathedrals Spica is Reims. Again I have diflRculty dismissing this<br />
symbolism as an accident and coincidence. Religion has always<br />
been the twin sister of astrology.<br />
But I would like to come back once more to the giant trian-
