Here is an excerpt from my book which provides powerful archeological evidence for an ancient lost global civilization more than 12,000 years ago.  A Lost Civilization of Light Workers. This evidence meets archeological standards indicting that there was a civilization that reached across oceans and continents building sacred sites to raise consciousness.

 

Chapter 2: The map from Egypt to around the world and through time

Part of the beginning, for me, was with ancient Egypt. Today Egyptologists estimate that about two-thirds of ancient Egypt is still hidden beneath the sands. In researching the work done over the ages by a large array of explorers and Egyptologists, I felt it was the same case in finding their results; there is so much to all that has been found already and written about. Rather than digging through the sands of time in Egypt, I was digging through the dusty archives on Egypt and ancient measurements, their importance, derivations, and symbolism. I will start with Sir Flinders Petrie, considered the father of modern Egyptology, who brought detailed scientific methods and recording into the field. Sir Petrie states: The study of ancient measures used in a country is a basis of discovering the movements of civilization between countries.

As Sir Petrie lays out the importance of shared measurements as indicators of shared communications and connections between different cultures, Iain Morley and Colin Renfrew, both acknowledged experts in archeology and Fellows of the McDonald Institute for Archeological Research write that measurement systems go further than communication and thought processes to include metaphysical belief systems.

Measurement systems have provided the structure for addressing key concerns of cosmological belief systems, as well as the means for articulating relationships between human form, human action, and the world—and new understanding of relationships between events in the terrestrial world and beyond.ⁱⁱ

Presented between these covers is the evidence of Sir Petrie’s statement; written here is the recognition and demonstration of an ancient unit of measurement from such a civilization with its sharing and movements among multiple peoples across the globe. A measurement whose possible origin symbolizes a multicultural shared spiritual philosophy for a universal journey of humanity toward unity and higher consciousness. Again, the length of this measurement, this “spirit/light” cubit, is 27.5 inches (70 cm).

What is explored in detail and compelling evidence is offered for is a unit of measurement that unites both science and spiritual philosophy, Heaven and Earth, space and time. Such a statement should give one reason to pause, for it is tantamount; it did me, from the ancient civilizations to the modern physics search for the “Theory of Everything” (TOE). In ancient times spirit and science were not approached as separate avenues of the understanding of our existence, the world, and the cosmos, but one united and synergized in an encompassing unity of the physical and metaphysical. The unit of measurement presented meets all these requirements.

Early on I realized it is important to ask; from where units of ancient measurements were derived. The answer is straightforward: body proportions. Think of the ubiquitous term used in the study of ancient metrology, the cubit. The cubit is a catchall term used for multiple units of measurements from multiple civilizations. Cubit is Latin for elbow and is a term used, in umbrella fashion, to categorize measurements approximately the length from elbow to fingertip, though these lengths range from anywhere around fifteen inches to twenty-eight inches. It is believed that almost all ancient linear measurements resulted from body proportions. This concept is exampled in Da Vinci’s “The Vitruvian Man,” an ink and paper drawing.

DaVinci’s Vitruvian Man with units of measure (PD0)

This is DaVinci’s homage to the Roman engineer and architect Vitruvius, who wrote in volume III of his work on art and architecture:

The design of Temples depends on symmetry… Hence no building can be said to be well designed which wants symmetry and proportion. In truth they are as necessary to the beauty of a building as to that of a well-formed human figure…

If Nature, therefore, has made the human body so that the different members of it are measures of the whole, so the ancients have, with great propriety, determined that in all perfect works, each part should be some aliquot (Author note: aliquot means a portion of the larger whole: I had to look it up) part of the whole; and since they direct, that this be observed in all works, it must be most strictly attended to in temples of the gods…ⁱⁱⁱ

Vitruvius is basically stating that sacred structures should use body proportions in their design and construction. Since the human body was divinely designed, these are the best proportions and measurements to design a sacred site, to create an axis mundi; a place where Heaven and Earth come together.

The linchpin at the heart of these sacred structures, these “cosmic engines” uniting Heaven and Earth, is the unit of measurement of 27.5 inches (70 cm). This unit of measurement seems to have its origins in ancient Egypt, yet there is compelling evidence that this unit of measurement or multiples of it was also used by other cultures on multiple continents, and so it presents itself as an ancient international unit of measurement commensurate to the modern international unit of measure, the meter.

Body proportions were codified into specific measures, such as the foot, the hand, or a yard. So from what proportions could 27.5 inches (70 cm) be codified from? Posited here is that this measurement comes from the length of the spine, with initial evidence from research in the medical textbook Gray’s Anatomy (1918) that shows the average length of the human spine (male) is 27.9 inches (71 cm)—statistically valid to a measurement unit of 27.5 inches. In answer to the reader’s thought, yes, there were many people of such height through ancient times. Some will debate that 27½ inches is close to the average step length and hence then where this measurement came from. What will be shared as we continue is clear and compelling evidence that this is not the case for multiple reasons. For now, let it suffice, using Vitruvius’ recommendations of using body proportions since the body was divinely created, that a step length is not a body proportion. Further, there is an intrinsic elegance in representing the spine in sacred sites as the physical avenue of consciousness.

An Egyptian measuring rod of 27.5 inches (70 cm) was discovered at the pyramids of Lisht and is on display in the Metropolitan Museum of New York; Egyptologists link the pyramids of Lisht to the pyramids on the Giza Plateau through portions of the Giza complex being incorporated into Lisht to infuse them with the spiritual energy of the Giza complex. The Giza Plateau was dedicated to the Egyptian deity Osiris, whose symbol was the “Djed” hieroglyph, meaning “Osiris’s spine.” The ancient Egyptians even had a specific ceremony rite of “Raising the Djed.”

The recognition of the importance of the spine both physically and spiritually was not confined to the ancient philosophies of the Far East and Egypt. Its significance was acknowledged in the cultures of the New World also. Unambiguously this can be seen in the Hopi, Native American traditions. The Hopis are the descendants of the Ancient Puebloans, whose culture is considered to have spanned the Southwest area of what is now the United States: Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico. One of the major beautiful and significant centers of the Ancient Puebloans is in Chaco Canyon located in northern New Mexico. Archeology research has confirmed that the Ancient Puebloans had trade and communications with Mesoamerica with the discovery of macaw feathers and remains of cacao traced back to Mexico.

The Hopi, descendants of the Ancient Puebloans, in their customs understood the importance of the spine both for their physical world and spiritual journey. This is recounted by Frank Waters:

The First People then understood the mystery of their parenthood. In their pristine wisdom they also understood their own structure and functions—the nature of man himself.

The living of man and the living body of earth were constructed in same way. Through each ran an axis, man’s axis being the backbone, the vertebral column… Along this axis were several vibratory centers which echoed the primordial sound of life throughout the universe…^iv

…Palongawhoya (sacred twin), traveling throughout the earth, sounded out his call as he was bidden. All the vibratory centers along the earth’s axis from pole to pole responded to his call; the whole earth trembled: the universe quivered in tune.^v

It is abundantly evident the descendants of the Ancient Puebloan understood the symbolism of the human spine for uniting Heaven and Earth along with time and space.

The use and representation of the spine in the design construction and reason of sacred sites bespeaks of the elegance of purpose; to connect and commune with the Divine with the assistance of temple-structures designed for just such a consciousness-raising purpose. The Eastern traditions present this in a more straightforward fashion in attaining such a goal; through meditation and raising the Kundalini (coiled serpent), the spiritual cosmic energy, toward an awakening and spiritual transformation into higher consciousness. This occurs by raising this energy through the physical avenue from the base of the spine through the spinal canal to the brain. This concept and purpose of meditations is not the venue of the Eastern traditions alone; they were only the most straightforward in describing it. This purpose and the act of meditation is also in Western traditions, called by many appellations: contemplative prayer, Lectio Divina, and studying under the fig tree, to cite some examples. (See Cistercian monks, St. Bernard, St. Malachi, St. John of the Cross, St. Teresa of Avila, mystic Judaism, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Thomas Keating, Aldous Huxley.) Meditation is being used today by businesses and corporations to assist their employees, only the practice has had stripped away any metaphysical connotations and is labeled “mindfulness,” In any case its original purpose was to commune with the Divine and bring Heaven and Earth together within oneself.

What is written above has outlined the designs in constructing sacred sites to focus and assist people in connecting to the divine in consciousness, and it should be implicit such sites’ designers and builders understood the totality of the journey, not just in spiritual consciousness, but also in physicality and in time and space. Many such ancient sites are known to be heavenly timepiece engines measuring seasons, solstices, equinoxes, moon phases, and more to great accuracy. Further, ancient time was measured by more than just seasons. Ancient Egypt is credited with creating the 24-hour day and the world’s oldest hourly water clock was discovered in Egypt. These ancient architects and scientists had a clear grasp of time at many levels and linked Heaven and Earth through these sacred sites not only in consciousness but, in this manner, through physical space and time. What the following chapters will show is that ancient civilizations had an even more incredible grasp of time than previously thought. A grasp they incorporated into a much greater sense of cosmic unity.

Prior to continuing further in this journey, allow me to briefly provide some examples of this ancient unit of measurement (27½ inches/70 cm) from ancient cultures that will be detailed later on:

–Egyptian unit: Nebiu (NB) – 27.5 inches (70 cm)… Possibly linked to aakhu meh unit and Great Pyramid; note the aakhu meh (transliterated as Spirit/Light cubit) is recorded in the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, but this research has yet to reveal any further information on it, other than its name.

–Paquime (Mogollon: Ancestral Puebloans) culture (Mexico-Arizona-New Mexico) – 27.5 inches (70 cm) = 1 nebiu

–Mayan Cubit: Zapal – 55 inches (142 cm)… Kukulkan Pyramid = 2 nebiu

-Stonehenge: megalithic rod: (100 megalithic inches, 2.5 MY = 81.6 inches {207.3 cm}) = 3 nebiu 82.5 inches (210 cm)

–Author research at Aztec Ruins National Monument great kiva. Great kivas at Chaco Canyon and Salmon Ruins kiva and rooms in New Mexico provide significant results using 55 inches (140 cm) = 2 nebiu or a zapal

The Indus Valley (Asia): In this report is an analysis of the Harappan linear unit by R. C. A. Rottlander, starting on page 201, whose effort is to determine this culture’s units of measurement. Rottlander determines the Harappans used an “Indus foot” of 34.55 cm and a “double foot” of 69.11 cm. These results are equivalent to the length of the spirit light cubit and its half. Asia can now be added to Africa, Europe, and North America as the fourth continent on which this unit of measure has been discovered. And so it goes. I am confident more such discoveries will occur.

Sites of using common measurements starred in red

To return to Sir Petrie’s method of examination of communication and sharing between civilizations: In On Metrology and Geometry in Ancient Remains, Petrie contends that measurement systems are an important proxy for divining the capacities of the ancient mind. The more complex the measurement system, he argued, the more complex the mind behind it. Additionally, Petrie established that measurement systems could be used as a method to evaluate connections between ancient cultures in a manner similar to the study of languages.^vi

Cultures sharing similar measurement systems likely had some form of contact. Should such a measurement be located in architectural remains, and appear in halves or doubles, then the probability that this measure reflects a real historical unit of measure increases. ^vii

Sir Petrie in his later writings leaves no doubt of how important and substantial a unit of measurement shared by different cultures is in providing important evidence of an advanced mental capacity and either shared ancestors or strong trading links between such cultures.

Among the various tests of the mental capacity of man one of the most important, ranking in modern life on an equality of with language is the appreciation of quantity, or notions of measurement and geometry. …Thus the possession of the same unit of measurement by different people implies either that it belonged to their common ancestors or else that a very powerful commercial intercourse has existed between them. ^viii

What follows is a detailed examination of this evidence of a shared unit of measurement perhaps not only more important than language and more complex minds in that it also points toward a common effort to unite Heaven and Earth and time and space, with a unitive spiritual philosophy aimed toward higher consciousness among cultures strewn far and wide and the premise that ancient civilizations on at least three different continents had communication with each other farther back in time than is presently considered possible—all of this “hidden” in plain sight.

Scholars Iain Morley and Colin Renfrew understood and expounded on the universal seeking to unite and interact with the physical and the spiritual, the material and immaterial.

From the stones of Stonehenge to the alignments and calendars of Mesoamerica, measurement stands at the dawn of cosmology. The term “cosmology” is used here not just in the sense of explanation of the celestial, but in the sense of conception of the universe—the set of beliefs about the world, material and immaterial, and the rules through which interaction can occur. ^ix

I consider this measure, called by some Egyptologists nb or nebiu, is also identified in ancient Egyptian texts as the “aakhu meh,” which translates as spirit or light measure and that it was communicated to multiple cultures. For the purposes here, I will call it the spirit/light cubit.

I hope this study does for you what it did for me in my searching, delving out into the physical world of sacred sites and in to the spiritual world of higher consciousness, bringing a peace and hope and flow into my life. It is like being cured of color blindness and beginning to see the vibrant hues of the universe.

Gobelki Tepe and Karahan Tepe providing more clues to a    lost ancient global civilization

In May of 2020 I had written an article about the discovery at Gobekli Tepe of a hidden geometric plan in the architectural design of the site, specifically of an underlying triangle design. This discovery was a design I had suggested in my book. To reiterate what I wrote then in my new book was seemed prescient about such a finding. One may theorize of what should be expected but when it actually occurs, it still is a bit startling.

“I believe this triangle is a key aspect in Gobekli Tepe heavenly symbolism (author bolding) and for many such sites. The immediate previous section showed the importance of the serpent with a triangular head. This Summer Triangle of stars, which includes Deneb, is the head of a stellar serpent of light that spans the sky, with its body being the Milky Way.”” The Spirit of Light Cubit; The Measure of Humanity and Spirit by Donald B Carroll (Ch.6 pp.176-177)

It was in Chapter 6 of The Spirit of Light Cubit where I was discussing Gobekli Tepe’s link to the lost civilization I had posited triangle and the serpent symbolism.  The section in particular was noting the apparent significance of not only serpent symbolism at GT, but also the significance of the star Deneb.  I put forth that Deneb was also an important aspect of a greater stellar geometry; the Summer Triangle, consisting of Deneb, Vega, and Altair and would they would have been the circumpolar stars of navigation of that time. I further noted that this triangle made the head of a celestial serpent whose body was the Milky Way. (There is much more to this in the book but this will suffice)

That article was a portion of the larger research and evidence presented in the book; that of archeological peer level compelling evidence of an ancient lost global civilization.  The primary evidence was the same unit of measurement and similar measurement systems used by 5 different cultures over 4 different continents.  This shared measure and similar systems was presented by archeologist in their individual cultural field and met their criteria of powerful persuasive evidence of shared contacted with all these cultures and in some cases possible shared ancestry. 

Now Gobekli Tepe and its “sister” site Karahan Tepe are providing more clues and evidence of this lost global civilization.   In a very recent article the archeological team at Karahan Tepe described some of the recent research there and it included the diameter of an excavated building at the site.

“The head of excavations at Karahantepe, Prof. Necmi Karul, told Anadolu Agency that the digging was first launched in 2019 and two very productive seasons have been observed since then. Karul further noted that a building with a diameter of 23 meters was unearthed during the excavations and a large part of it was carved into the bedrock and it reached a depth of 5.5 meters from the surface, meaning it was built with the efforts of many engineers.” (Human depictions, 3D sculptures of Karahan Tepe site to shed light on history (aa.com.tr)) 09/28/2021

This is preliminary work at Karahan Tepe but the diameter of the excavated building caught my attention; a diameter of 23 meters.  If the unit a measure of 27 ½ inches (a light cubit measure) is used rather than feet the result of the diameter of this ancient building (approximately 10,000 BCE) is 33 light cubit measures in diameter!  (32.85)

As I had written in my book the number 33 is a significant symbolic number, considered a Pythagorean “master number” representing universal consciousness.  It also is the number of vertebrae in the human spine, representing the pathway way of the “kundalini”, the spiritual energy that is raised to reach enlightenment.  This same diameter (33 light cubit measures) is found in the bluestone circle (the first circle) at Stonehenge and is represented in the width of the Great Pyramid; 330 light measures.  All the cumulative evidence continues to strengthen the reality of this lost global civilization.

Not only is the evidence noted here at Karahan Tepe showing the inevitability of this lost civilization, Gobekli Tepe continues to slowly but surely provide more compelling evidence, beyond the earlier shared triangle architectural plan. There is so much still to discover at these incredibly ancient sites but for the purposes here let me share an absolute amazing symbolic carving the provides exciting evidence of shared serpent symbolism with the Egyptian culture, Maya culture and Gobekli Tepe; the double headed serpent

                                  Gobekli Tepe Enc. A: Pillar 1: Double Headed Serpents.

The site archeologists describe this as a multiple serpent motif is a mesh-like pattern.  It is exactly that, but what they do not describe that this serpent motif on the pillar are double headed serpents with a head at each end of their bodies.  If you look closely, beyond the meshing, just follow the head of any of the serpent carvings and you will find a serpent head at the other end of its body.  It is very apparent that these represent a double headed serpent.  This is very significant and a symbolic representation shared by two other cultures. Please see the following style of representations.

Nehebukau:  The double headed serpent deity of ancient Egypt.

                           A double-headed serpent bar being help by a Maya king.

My book laid out strong compelling archeological evidence of an ancient lost global civilization through the sharing of 5 cultures over 4 continents of a same measure or similar measurement system along with the share spiritual symbolism. Now Gobekli Tepe and Karahan Tepe are beginning to share their ancient secrets and providing preliminary evidence of the use of a similar measurement system and common spiritual symbolism.  Three cultures all using double headed serpent symbolism goes beyond coincidence or happenstance. Though, seeming incredible, the evidence of this lost global civilization continues to become more and more convincing.      By Donald B. Carroll

A Fulfillment of one of Hugh Lynn Cayce’s Dreams:

Archeological Evidence of the Ra Ta Period.

10,500 B.C.

Many may remember Hugh Lynn Cayce as the renaissance architect of the modern Association of Research and Enlightenment, who after his father’s, Edgar Cayce, death, and Hugh’s own return from Europe after WWII created the modern A.R.E. literally from the ground up.

 Not as many are as familiar with Hugh Lynn’s passion for archeological research to validate the Edgar Cayce readings of ancient civilizations and in particular the Cayce readings for an ancient Egypt civilization at 10,500 B.C.; the “Ra Ta” period or how important he felt it was.  This was a period that, according to the readings Edgar Cayce had an incarnation as Ra Ta, the high priest and Hugh Lynn had an incarnation as the Pharaoh of the time.  The readings also detailed this time as a period of the construction of the Great Pyramid of Egypt along with a temple of sacrifice and a temple beautiful.  The Readings not only described a highly advanced Egyptian civilization thousands of years before mainstream Egyptologist deem it possible, but it also described their trade and collaboration with the civilization of Atlantis.  Atlantis, that lost civilization first written about by Plato.  The Cayce readings describe the Atlantean influences in this ancient Egypt as they fled the final destruction of their country with evacuees spreading around the world and other Atlanteans, along with Ra Ta and the Egyptians creating a center for spiritual advancement with emissaries from civilizations and groups across the globe.

Hugh Lynn’s passion to find such archeological evidence for the Readings spanned decades, from personally searching and digging in Israel and Iran, to donating to a dig at Nag Hammadi Egypt and then to working with the Stanford Research institute in investigating the area surround the Sphinx on the Giza Plateau drilling bore holes to search for underground chambers beneath the Sphinx.

Author A. Robert Smith describes Hugh Lynn’s incredible focus and purpose of this quest in detail in his biography of Hugh Lynn; “About My Father’s Business; The incredible Story of Edgar Cayce’s Son”.  Writing about Hugh Lynn’s archaeological search Smith states:

“The quest for evidence to support Cayce stories of ancient events had just begun.”[i]“…and (Hugh Lynn) would spend the rest of his life in hot pursuit of the evidence of Ra Ta.”[ii]   Hugh Lynn felt that such proof would have his father; “be recognized as the greatest mystic of modern times.”[iii]  (Author’s bolding)

One can clearly see the importance Hugh Lynn placed on archeological research for his father’s legacy.  Such validation would grant the recognition of Edgar Cayce “as the greatest mystic of modern times.” Unfortunately, with all Hugh Lynn’s Herculean work with his many archaeological searches continuing until his passing, no conclusive evidence was found. Thankfully, Hugh Lynn passion had lit the torch of the purpose and the importance of this archeological search and through the continuing years others have picked it up this torch and continued the search. Great credit should be given to this line of torch bearers who believed as Hugh Lynn did the great importance and significance of archeological research for the Edgar Cayce work and its legacy and kept that light of this search alive.  Of these many searchers and their great efforts, I would like to in particular thank Lora and Greg Little for dedicating their time talent and treasure searching the Bahamas, Bimini, the Yucatan and Piedra Negras for such evidence.  Their books on their efforts and research are well worth reading.

Now for the incredible fruition of Hugh Lynn’s dream; firm and compelling archeological evidence of an Edgar Cayce reading on ancient events and one that is directly linked to Ra Ta and that period in Ancient Egypt.  I know that this is an extremely consequential and bold statement, but the solid archeological evidence clearly exists and has been discovered.  

This starts with the Cayce Reading 281-25. This reading request specifically asks its questions about Ra Ta, the Temple Beautiful and ancient Egypt circa 10,500 B.C.  The reading answers include that Ra Ta was involved in its construction and primary purpose of this sacred site, the Temple Beautiful was to raise individual’s spiritual consciousness, to reach “God-Consciousness”, enlightenment.  Further that emissaries from “the nations of the earth” came to Egypt to go through this initiation to higher consciousness, to give themselves to this service to then help others in reaching such enlightenment.

 In the middle of this reading, almost as an aside in describing the construction of the Temple Beautiful the unit of measurement is given; it being 27.5 inches “was a cubit then.”  This small statement about a measurement for construction of a sacred site, a temple whose purpose was to initiate people from around the world into higher consciousness is also the measurement that built the foundation for the archaeological evidence of an ancient lost global civilization with one of it purposes being to assist other in raising consciousness just as described in the Cayce reading. The fulfillment of Hugh Lynn’s dream.

In the space available I will lay out the details.  About Eighteen years ago I began researching that 27.5-inch measurement noted in the Edgar Cayce reading.  Research that not so much had me digging through the sands of Egypt or hacking through the jungles of Mesoamerica or trekking through the deserts of the Southwestern United States, though there was a bit of that, as it was more of years digging through Egyptologists, Archeologists and ancient Metrologists written archives.  On the surface researching an ancient measurement is not your “Indiana Jones” exciting adventure and certainly does not get the same attention, press or funding.  Yet ancient measurements are extraordinarily important.   Allow me to share from the archeologist and anthropologists themselves just how important ancient civilizations and their measurements are.

“The study of ancient measures used in a country is a basis of discovering the movements of civilization between countries.”[iv]

“Among the various tests of the mental capacity of man one of the most important, ranking in modern life on an equality of with language is the appreciation of quantity, or notions of measurement and geometry. … Thus the possession of the same unit of measurement by different people implies either that it belonged to their common ancestors or else that a powerful commercial intercourse has existed between them.”[v]

“Cultures sharing similar measurement systems likely had some form of contact. Should such a measurement be located in architectural remains, and appear in halves or doubles, then the probability that this measure reflects a real historical unit of measure increases.”[vi]

“Measurement systems have provided the structure for addressing key concerns of cosmological belief systems, as well as the means for articulating relationships between human form, human action, and the world—and new understanding of relationships between events in the terrestrial world and beyond.”[vii]

“From the stones of Stonehenge to the alignments and calendars of Mesoamerica, measurement stands at the dawn of cosmology. The term “cosmology” is used here not just in the sense of explanation of the celestial, but in the sense of conception of the universe—the set of beliefs about the world, material and immaterial, and the rules through which interaction can occur."[viii]

As can clearly be seen from these experts, measurements are vital to ancient civilizations and to our understanding them today.  Measurements spoke to these ancients’ mental capacities and their sciences such as engineering and architecture.  Further different civilizations using the same measurement demonstrates solid communication and possibly common ancestors. While similar measurement systems provide strong evidence of communication between them. The use of measurements by ancient cultures also spoke to their spiritual philosophies. Their relationship between the material and immaterial, their relationship between Heaven and Earth and uniting them. Measurements were central to their sciences and spirituality at a fundamental level.

Now, with this important background let me share how well the Cayce reading brings this all together starting with the Egyptian measurement of 27.5 inches (70cm) and its connection with a sacred site linked to multiple cultures for raising spiritual consciousness fits these archeological standards.

-Egyptian unit: Nebiu (NB) – 27.5 inches (70 cm) … linked to aakhu meh unit and Great Pyramid; note the aakhu meh (transliterated as Spirit/Light cubit) is recorded in the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs.  A specimen resides at the MMNY.

-Paquime (Mogollon: Ancestral Puebloans: Casa Grandes site) culture (Mexico-Arizona-New Mexico) – 27.5 inches (70 cm)

-Mayan Cubit: Zapal – 55 inches (142 cm) … Kukulkan Pyramid = 2 spirit of light cubits

-Stonehenge: megalithic rod: (100 megalithic inches, 2.5 MY = 81.7 inches {207.3 cm}) = 3 spirit of light cubits 82.5 inches (210 cm)

-Indus Valley: the Harappans used an “Indus foot” of 34.55 cm and a “double foot” of 69.11 cm. These results are equivalent to the length of the spirit light cubit and its half.

The evidence shows 3 of these civilizations used the same exact measurement, while the other 2 civilizations use multiple of the measurement. This is stunning archeological quality evidence of a lost civilization that had communications and trade and possibly common ancestors that spanned at least 5 civilizations and 4 continents!  Further this shared measuring is found at their sacred sites, all these sites are considered “axis mundi” places where Heaven and Earth. Ancient sites used to raise spiritual consciousness.

There is so much more evidence and detail that strengthen and validate these conclusions in even more multiple significant and meaningful ways that make the entire results so flawlessly elegant. It takes your breath away.  For now, let what has presented here suffice.

What is presented here, alone, confirms the Cayce reading; the Egyptian unit of measurement, the same measurement or measurement system, found in use around the ancient world’s constructed sacred sites, for the same spiritual purpose as cited in the Cayce reading and all archeologically evidencing global communication from at lost civilization.

Pause and pondered the ramifications of this archeological evidence.  First, just standing alone the archeological evidence meets their standards to posit a lost civilization having a global reach with a measurement system used at their sacred sites without the reading. Second this evidence seamlessly fits into all the Cayce reading describing such a civilization along with its global reach and purpose.

Hugh Lynn’s dream and “quest for evidence to support Cayce stories of ancient events” has just been fulfilled!  Which means, by Hugh Lynn’s belief, “that such proof would have his father; “be recognized as the greatest mystic of modern times.” Please as any follower of the Cayce reading take the time to savor that statement.  Then share this news.

I believe this is just the beginning of many more such discoveries validating the Cayce reading; I assure you I have already found others.
