Let us first review the events of '#5':  The projected key date was April 5 ('99), the 'Lady Luck Day' - which is a very significant notion in my model as illustrated in '1999: Final Solution' - and on that date three significant events took place that would lead us to quatrain VI-97 and the Ark/Grail.  Those events were, 1) US/NATO bombing of Novi Sad (in Yugoslavia), 2) two men accused of blowing up Pan Am Flight 103 over Scotland in '88 finally arriving in the Netherlands from Libya for trial, and 3) the NATO-aided "exodus" of Albanians began.

The first thing to note is that 'Novi Sad' means something like 'New Garden' and it is on latitude 45 degrees North.  This combination of the city of 'New Garden' 'burning' at '45 N' strongly directs one's attention to Nostradamus' Quatrain VI-97 which mentions "45 degrees", "fire"/'buring'/"flame", "new city", etc.:

Century VI-97
Cinq & quarante degrez ciel bruslera
Feu approcher de la grand cite' neuue
Instant grand flamme esparse sautera
Quand on voudra des Normans faire preuue.
Forty five degrees the sky will burn, 
Fire to approach the great new city 
In an instant a great scattered flame will leap up, 
When they want to have proof of the Normans.

It should be said that this quatrain is one of the few quatrains that I've been considering to be very relevant to this time period just as I illustrated in 'Babylon Matrix', 'TheElysian Fields', and the 'CWN-Analysis' stuff before that which is now already about 4 years old or so.  So, this is not one of those entirely hindsighted associations.  The relevance of VI-97 to this current period (around the turn of the millennium) had already been noticed and extensively discussed.

It is interesting to note that the date, 4/5, easily relates to '45', and also it happens that Novi Sad became the capital of the Province of Vojvodina in '45.  Furthermore, 'Normandy' - where the "Normans" came and lived - in France happens to be the place where Allied troops came and drove out the Nazis on 6/6/44 in WWII - paralleling the 'Allied Force' attacking the Nazi-compared Serbs.  The Nazis, remember, has been symbolically linked to Apr. 5 - the day of 'Lady Luck' - through the 'good luck'-swastika association.  Let me point out also that the following date, Apr. 6, is the date (in '41) on which the Nazis invaded Yugoslavia during WWII.

It gets even more intriguing when Pan Am 103 is added to the correlation.  First, it needs to be mentioned that the same Quatrain VI-97 had been very closely associated to another notorious plane crash - TWA 800 (as shown in 'Babylon Matrix').  And again, somehow, another major and equally notorious place crash, Pan Am 103, comes to relate to the same quatrain.  Besides the timing (i.e. coinciding with the bombing of Novi Sad), an interesting correlation can be made with VI-97's fourth line, "When they want to have proof of the Normans", as one of the Scottish prosecutors for the trial is named 'Norman' (McFadyen) as mentioned in the news article.  Obviously, the "proof of (the) Norman(s)" is to be a key part of the trial, thus nicely fitting the line.

Next, the involvement of Scotland in the Pan Am 103 incident turns out to be significant through Scotland's strong historical connection to the Masonic/Templar tradition from which the stories of the Ark/Grail cannot be separated.  What fills the gaps between the issues (Pam Am 103/Scotland, Ark/Grail, VI-97, etc.) is yet another plane crash, the crash of Swissair 111 (Sept. 2, '98) off Nova Scotia, Canada, which was en route from NYC to Geneva, Switzerland.  It is one of the most recent major airplane crashes.  It is rather congruent that a recent major plane crash, Swissair 111, is to be linked, as we will see, with both TWA 800 and Pan Am 103, as both of those two airplane incidents made the headlines recently (the story of TWA 800's crash itself, and the story about the handover of the suspects of Pan Am 103) and both are hypothesized to be connected to Quatrain VI-97.

The link between TWA 800 and Swissair 111 is insinuated by the fact that both crashed mysteriously soon after taking off from NYC.  Those incidents were only about 1 year apart (July '97 and Sept. '98).  The connection between Swissair 111 and Pan Am 103 is first suggested in the name 'Nova Scotia' (where the Swissair 111 crash occurred) which means 'New Scotland' (Pan Am 103 exploded over Scotland).  Notice that the "New" part can relate to VI-97's "new city" and it also happens that Nova Scotia is nicely bisected by the "45 degrees" N latitude, and Nova Scotia is historically closely connected with France (=> "Normans").  Furthermore, Swissair 111's destination Switzerland is roughly at "45 degrees" N., and the name Switzerland is derived from a word that means 'to burn' - as in "45 degrees the sky will burn" (!) (it's, therefore, interesting that the capital of Switzerland is called 'Bern'), strengthening the connection between Swissair 111 and VI-97.

And here are some Scotland-Nova Scotia connections that will shift the focus to the new 'associative matrix' of Ark/Grail.  It happens that Nova Scotia, like Scotland, is also involved in the Templar tradition and the 'Holy Grail'.  Nova Scotia, it turns out, is exactly where the 'Holy Grail' (whatever it may represent) is theorized by some scholars to have been taken by the Knights Templar.  In support of this theory, the region of Nova Scotia and the land around it was called 'Acadia' by the French which closely resembles 'Arcadia' which is a term that is very closely associated with the Grail tradition.

The involvement of Switzerland is also very significant as it is a country theorized by some to be founded by the Templars - the country's flag (white cross on red background - the reverse of the Templar symbol of 'red/rose cross') and its famous banking business (the Templars essentially founded the banking system we use today) strongly suggests this, for example.  It is also interesting to note that Switzerland is located largely on the Alps which forms a big 'arc' (that separates Italy, France and Switzerland) potentially relatable to the 'Ark' theme. Additionally, the word 'arktos', in Greek, resembling 'ark', refers to the constellation Ursa Major known to Egyptians as 'the thigh' - which can be correlated with the Alps/Switzerland because as you probably know Italy is shaped like a leg with a high-heel shoe and if you consider the size of the foot/shoe, anatomically the land of Italy would correspond to the calf and the Alps/Switzerland region would correspond to the thigh!

For subtler links, we can add that Paris, the destination of TWA 800, has as its landmark the 'Arc de Triomphe' (which was discussed extensively in my long piece, 'The Elysian Fields', so this connection is not as arbitrary as some of you might think), and the mythological character 'Paris' happens to be closely associated with 'torch', thus relating to the fire/flame/burn theme derived from VI-97.  It should also be noted that the Statue of Liberty standing beside Long Island/'Fire' Island of NYC (with which TWA 800 and Swissair 111 are connected) which holds the 'torch' of freedom was given to U.S. by France, and there is a smaller replica of the statue in Paris.  (For more detailed exposition on the link between the Statue of Liberty and Quatrain VI-97, see 'Babylon Matrix')  Additionally, the flight number of the Swissair plane, '111', also seems to bear a subtle esoteric symbolism, as the Sumerian version of (Noah's) 'Ark' (which can be linked with the Ark of the Covenant in some ways) "was a cube - a modest one, measuring 60x60x60 fathoms, which represents the unit in the sexagesimal system where 60 is written as 1" (Hamlet's Mill, p219).  So, the ark could also be seen as 1x1x1 or '111', the number of the plane.

Now let us look at 'Resonance #7', which had to do with a deadly shooting on the date of the sinking of the Titanic, at Mormon church library which happens to be the world's top center for genealogical research.  This event seems to continue the symbolic thread of the 'Ark' associations, for it's my understanding that the Mormons are very concerned with biblical bloodlines.  And those who have even casually looked into the Grail tradition should be aware that the tradition has been often viewed as an allegorical story about the 'Royal Blood' (viewed as the "bloodline of Jesus", etc., and this bloodline goes back to King Solomon and David with whom the Ark is intimately associated thus linking it with the 'Grail' tradition).  The date of the event coinciding with the Titanic sinking is also significant for it allegorically represent the story of the Great Flood and Noah's 'Ark' as masterfully depicted in the enormously popular movie, 'Titanic' (so again the Ark of Noah and the Ark of the Covenant seem to converge).  In the movie 'Titanic', the notion of the Grail/Ark bloodline is also implied, especially near the end of the movie where Rose is floating in the ocean on a wooden chest, i.e. the 'ark', depicting how the bloodline of Rose, the 'Rose-line', somehow survived the "Flood".  Note that there is 'Rosslyn Chapel' at 'Roslin' (i.e. 'Rose Line') in Scotland, which is a famous and mysterious chapel very intimately associated with the Templar/Masonic/Grail tradition (also, the Knights Templar themselves were closely associated with the symbol of the 'rose').  In the succeeding scene in the movie, Rose hides from her oppressive fiancé (representing the bloodline/tradition going 'underground') and comes face to face and be identified with (what else?) the Statue of Liberty holding the torch high, declaring freedom.

Note that 'rose' and 'fire/torch' both esoterically symbolize 'wisdom/knowledge'.  So, is it coincidence that NYC, where the Statue of Liberty stands and where Rose arrived, is nicknamed the 'Big Apple', and that there is that 'Fire Island' attached to Long Island?  The 'apple' of course relates to the 'knowledge' that 'Eve' ate in the story of Genesis.  And NYC happens to be at around 40.5 degrees N. which is not "45 degrees" of VI-97, but if you ignore the "non-numbers", '0' and '.', it is '45', and since the original French wording of the phrase is actually "Cinq & quarante" (literally translates 'five & forty') it is not necessarily '45' but could be interpreted to apply to '40.5' also.

Also note that only 5 days after the library shooting in Salt Lake City, on April 20, Hitler's birthday, we saw a similar event.  The event of April 20 was of course, the random shooting at Columbine High School in Colorado by Hitler/Nazi-inspired students which had all the students in the school run for their lives (15 people killed).  And, of course, all this took place with the backdrop of the ethnic cleansing of 'Operation Horseshoe' ('horseshoe' => 'good luck' => 'swastika'/'Nazis') in Yugoslavia.  But incredibly, this event does not escape the web of 'ark'-references either.  Note the name of the high school, "Columbine", which correlates to the constellation 'Columba' (The Dove), located right beside Canis Major, the constellation of Sirius (which will be the topic of the following section), and it turns out that Columba the 'Dove' is sometimes said to represent the dove that followed Noah's Ark!  Hard to imagine that this is all a happy series of coincidences!

Now, after seeing all the 'Ark/Grail'-implications, we can go back to the third event of 'Resonance #5' (April 5) which has not been discussed yet.  The event was the beginning of the NATO-aided "exodus" of Albanians.  The notion of 'exodus' easily relates to Moses, thus also to the Ark of the Covenant.  And it also parallels the exodus of the Jews during WWII, under the dictatorship of the Nazis.

So, we see that all those events can be viewed as being derived from the same archetypal theme of ethnic cleansing, Nazis, etc., but especially the 'Ark',

As if to confirm all this, the people in the U.S. are shown two big TV-movies, 'Noah's Ark' and 'Joan of Arc' both in the same month of May ('99), immediately following all the events discussed above.

In my personal opinion, the underlying pattern is quite clear, I feel it is important that people start noticing this kind of 'order in chaos' for themselves.
 
 

 
Initially, '1999: Final Solution' yielded a big context which would be the basis for further decoding of reality.  The results of this extended decoding were discussed in the forgoing sections.  As we move further into 1999, the associative/symbolic "advanced echoes" are getting clearer and more frequent, which resulted in the incorporation of Quatrain VI-97 and the 'Ark' theme as we saw.  Now, with the newly gained insights we come back to the '1999' quatrain, X-72, for further synthesis and more focused interpretations...

Century X-72
L'an mil neuf cens nonante neuf sept mois, 
Du ciel viendra vn grand Roy d'effrayeur: 
Resusciter le grand Roy d'Angolmois, 
Auant apres Mars regner par bon-heur.
The year 1999 seven month, 
From the sky will come a great King of terror: 
To bring back to life the great King of Angolmois, 
Before after Mars to reign by good luck

•  

  Now, here we need to temporarily come back to Quatrain VI-97.

  VI-97 
  Forty five degrees the sky will burn, 
  Fire to approach the great new city 
  In an instant a great scattered flame will leap up, 
  When they want to have proof of the Normans.

  The key information relevant here came from a message that 'Gary' posted to an online discussion forum.  In it, it was pointed out that the name 'Newton' is derived from 'new town' (=> "new city").  Also:
  •  
    "Celsius proved Newton's theory that the earth is flattened at the poles, by observing the Aurora borealis, (the northern lights) [i.e. 'burning sky']. [...] Celsius' name is derived from "the Sky".  Celsius was also Norman, as in being a Nordic Northman from Sweden."
  Although the correlation presented was rough, I was intrigued by how it can be correlated with my interpretations of VI-97/X-72.  What is Newton famous for?  Gravity.  How did he discover gravity?  The story goes that Newton discovered it by seeing an apple falling from a tree.  'Gravity' is of course synonymous with 'weight/heaviness' - the concept just associated with Sirius/Ark.  The 'apple'... I don't think I need to point out its significance.  The 'falling' (of the apple) part also correlates to the "fallen angels" (Anunnaki/Nephilim).

  It seemed to me that Newton could be nicely incorporated into the developing associative model.  This new apparent connection then prompted my mind to wonder whether Newton had a connection with an Ark/Grail-related esoteric society.  Soon, I was fascinated to remember that Newton is indeed identified by some sources as a Grand Master of the Prieuré de Sion, a secret organization theorized to be closely linked with the Knights Templar!

  Thus, as you can see, the Newton-association nicely confirms the key associations derived earlier

  (End of 7/1/99 Update)


The first thing I'd like to mention here is that with the incorporation of VI-97, the perplexing "Angolmois" of X-72's third line starts to yield correlation.  What I noticed was that the old French Province 'Angoumois' was located on the latitude 45 degrees N.  Though I'm sure there are more meanings to the third line, this new correlation definitely corroborates the link between X-72 and VI-97.

Now, before we can start linking the 'Ark' theme with X-72, we'll have to look into the concept of 'ark' a little more.  First thing to mention is that Noah's ark relates to 'Argo', a great mythological ship in Greek myth.  The myth tells that the guiding timber of the Argo was taken from the ark of Deukalion, the Greek Noah.  There is also the constellation Argo which is said to represent the mythological Argo, naturally, and Noah's ark.  So, the Argo and Noah's ark seem to be more or less interchangeable.

On the ship Argo were 50 'Argonauts' and the leader of whom was 'Jason'.  Here we have our first breakthrough.  The name 'Jason', according to Robert Temple ('Sirius Mystery') means 'appeaser'.  In '1999: Final Solution', if you recall, it was mentioned that even though it is almost always translated as "King of terror", the original French words of X-72's second line may well have been "Roy deffraieur", instead of "Roy d'effrayeur", in which case the meaning changes to something like 'appeasing King'!  Whichever the original French words may be, both are so similar that I'd say both "appeasing King" and "King of terror" were meant.  (As we will see, punning is a serious method of communicating esoteric knowledge.)

Next, let us examine the etymology of the word, 'ark'.  According to Temple, the words 'ark', 'Argo', etc. are likely derived from the Egyptian words, 'arq' and 'arqi'.  It is, then, intriguing that the Great Sphinx which the Arabs call the 'Father of Terror' (thus relating to the 'King of Terrors' of X-72 as discussed in '1999: FS'),  is also called 'arq ur' (7/1 Update: this may not be accurate information) - making another link with X-72.  Furthermore, 'arki' and some other 'arq'-related words refer to Saturn, the most significant interpretive element applied to X-72 in '1999: FS'.

The next development, which will add a whole new dimension to the issues being discussed, is the connection between Argo/ark and Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky and the celestial counterpart of Isis (the relevance of Isis was brought up in '1999: FS').  Temple does a very extensive exposition on how the myth of Argo/ark relates to Sirius, mainly through the number '50' and the notion of 'weight'.  For example, as mentioned earlier, the Argo held '50' Argonauts.  It also carried '50' daughters of Danaos.  The reason '50' is important is because the orbital period of Sirius B around Sirius is 50 years.  Sirius B is a dark, small, and "heavy" 'white dwarf' that is a great contrast to its very bright companion, Sirius.  As Temple shows in his book, this 'invisible' Sirius B somehow seems to be as important as Sirius, if not more important, to some unclear 'source' that gave us mythological stories which apparently are a secret information passed down through history in 'coded' forms.  Sirius B should not have been known to ancient people, yet there appear to be many coded references to Sirius B in myths.  But in the case of the Dogon people in southwest Africa, their tradition preserved information about our solar system and the Sirius system not metaphorically but literally - which prompted Temple to investigate the matter originally.  And the Dogon literally claimed that Sirius B, which they called 'Digitaria', had a 50-year orbit around Sirius when they shouldn't have even known that there is a dark companion to Sirius.

We are also told that the Anunnaki, the Sumerian 'gods' who were discussed in '1999: FS', were also 50 in number and called 'the fifty great gods' thus also associated with Sirius also.  Moses' Ark of the Covenant, too, comes to be involved with 50, thus Sirius also, as it was to Moses that "God" commanded to establish the 50-year cycle of 'year of jubilee - strengthening the link between Noah's ark and the Ark of the Covenant.  Temple further points out that the "foot race" which was the origin of the Olympic Games was held at the end of the 50 months or 49 months in alternate years.  The switching between 50 and 49 is intriguing since Sirius B's orbital period is somewhat less than 50 years and the alternate counting can be seen as a way of adjusting to match Sirius B's orbit.  At any rate, again there is a connection with X-72 as the Olympics was a key theme in '1999: FS'.

The incorporation of Sirius behaves likes a big piece of the puzzle and yields more and more connections.  For example, Sirius B was in some ways compared to Mercury - and Mercury/Gemini is of course one of the big themes in '1999: FS'.  Also, Anubis, a mythological character Temple associates with the orbit of Sirius B, happened to be identified with Saturn - again a major element derived from X-72, etc.  'Seven', also a major theme derived in '1999: FS', is not left out as Sirius was known to Egyptians as 'Sept' which in French (and probably in other languages too) means 'seven', the 'lucky' number.  So, the first line of X-72, "1999 and seven months ('sept mois')", could be seen as '1999 and the month of Sirius'... but it would point to July anyway as July was the month of Sirius' important 'heliacal rising'.  It's all coming together.

It is carefully and convincingly illustrated by Temple that Sirius is related to the idea of 'weight/heavy'.  Interestingly, the Egyptian word, 'tchens', also meaning 'weight/heavy', resembles 'chance' which is almost synonymous with 'luck'.  I feel it's possible that there is a connection there.  But more significantly, the notion of 'weight' connects Sirius and Argo as the main/brightest star in the Argo constellation, Canopus, is also known as 'Wazn', 'Weight'.  And it is said that Enki, the Sumerian Saturn, ruled Canopus.

7/1/99 Update :

    

Canopus was also known as 'the Rudder' (of the Argo), i.e. the stern of the ship.  Interestingly, this relates to the movie 'Titanic' as the 'stern' of the Titanic plays a key role in the movie - it is where Rose and Jack first meet as Rose tries to jump into the ocean, and it is also where Rose and Jack end up being as the Titanic finally sinks into the ocean.  Note also that there are a number of references to 'weight/heaviness':  Seeing Rose's engagement ring Jack says to her (paraphrasing) 'wow, look at this, you'd have gone straight to the bottom of the ocean!' (referring to the size/heaviness of the ring).  Also both the young Rose and the 100-year old Rose felt the 'Heart of the Ocean', the blue diamond pendant, to be a "heavy, dreadful thing", and the old Rose throws the pendant into the ocean from the 'rear end' of the ship she was on, and if you're observant you'd see in the scene that at the rear of the ship there is a big 'arc'-shaped structure enclosing Rose.  By the way, Rose being 100 years old in the movie is also a 'hint' for '100' is also closely associated with Sirius B (its orbit was somehow counted 'double', i.e. 100).  This also nicely explains why I came up with '100' as one of the key numbers in 'Babylon Matrix'.

If you've seen the movie, you'd also notice that the 'prow' of the Titanic plays a big role also.  It is where Jack leans forward, spreads his arms and screams "I'm the king of the world!", and where Jack lets Rose extend her arms like a bird also and "fly".  Temple identifies Dodona, where the Greek ark is said to have descended, as the geodetic prow of the Argo.  And I noticed that Dodona happens to be at about 39.5 degrees N. latitude which happens to be the exact angle of one of the Great Pyramid's so-called 'air shafts' that specifically targeted the star Sirius.  As if to confirm the significance of the angle/latitude, ~39.5 N also happens to be the latitude of Mt. Ararat where Noah's ark is thought to have landed.  Jack and Rose extending their arms sideways forming a 'cross' with the body is also meaningful to the 'Sirius complex' as the Dogon reports that there is another star, Sirius C, in the Sirius system which supposedly has a satellite they call 'star of Women' and it is represented by the sign of a 'cross' in their tradition.  It may not be a coincidence that there is to be a astrological 'grand cross' on/around Aug. 18, '99 - the exact date of Cassini's earth-flyby.
 
Another interesting point regarding Sirius is that the hieroglyphic sign for Sirius (triangle) is identical to the sign for 'thorn' (or 'teeth').  Notice how 'thorn' is relevant to a 'rose' - Titanic's Rose, NY's state flower being a  rose, and rose as a symbol of knowledge, etc.  Congruently, not only was Isis, Sirius' counterpart, considered the goddess of 'wisdom', Sirius B was associated with the description, 'two stars of knowledge'.

Sirius could also be associated in various ways with the 'serpent', the ancient symbol of hidden wisdom and secret knowledge.  A good example is the serpent in the story of Genesis which lets Eve east the fruit from the tree of knowledge.  Interestingly, it's been suggested that the name 'Eve' relates to words meaning 'serpent' and 'life'.  Also, Eve is sometimes viewed as the ancestral mother of the Nephilim, and the Nephilim themselves were described as 'serpents'.  The Nephilim are the "fallen angels" that parallel the Anunnaki who were earlier associated with Sirius.

It should also be mentioned that Jason, the leader of the 50 Argonauts earlier associated with Sirius, is associated with the 'teeth of a dragon'.  This is interesting because 'teeth' as explained before can also refer to Sirius, and so the expression, 'teeth of a dragon', links Sirius to a 'dragon', i.e. 'serpent', as Temple points out.  Furthermore, the cobra hieroglyph, 'ara', means both 'serpent' and 'goddess', as in Isis the goddess.
 
 

 
So what about Mars to which both X-72 ('1999' quatrain) and VI-97 ('45 degrees' quatrain) have been closely linked in 'Babylon Matrix' (VI-97) and '1999: Final Solution' (X-72)?  As we will see, it appears that there is a definite Sirius-Mars-ark connection.

 



First, NYC/Long Island can be associated with 'knowledge' through the symbolisms of 'apple' ("Big Apple"), 'rose' (state flower),  'fire' (Statue of Liberty, its connection to Paris/'torch'), etc. and as we've seen in foregoing sections it's part of the 'ark' complex via VI-97.  Furthermore from the 'apple' connection follows the notion of the 'serpent'.  Now, all those 'knowledge'/Sirius connections of NYC can be transferred to Mars because, as illustrated in 'Babylon Matrix', NYC is also related to Mars, especially the Cydonia region with all the potentially artificial structures.  Mars being red and circular is associatable with the 'apple', the red and round 'Big Apple' (NYC).  Now, some might argue that the fruit Eve ate was not necessarily an 'apple', but we generally thought of it as an apple today and that has to count in symbolism.  But there is a much more precise connection -  the latitudes of NYC and Cydonia are exactly the same, 40.5~41N.

The events closely associated earlier with X-72 and more or less with the ark, the two random shootings in a library and school ('Resonance' #7 and 8), appear to back up the Mars-Sirius connection also.  Those two similar events, only five days apart, occurred one on the Cydonian latitude and the other on the Sirius 'angle' latitude.  The Mormon library shooting took place at ~40.5N, and the Colorado school shooting at ~39.5N.  The name 'Salt Lake City', where the library shooting occurred, may be relevant also since mythologically the 'salt water' is of female - and Sirius is filled with female associations ('goddess', 'star of Women', etc.).

Moreover, Temple mentions in his book that "when making rhetorical allusion to the Dog Days, the Latins would often speak of Sirius being red at the time..."  Now, this is quite significant for not only is Sirius described as 'red' like Mars, but the "Dog Days" would refer to a period in or around July - the exact time-frame indicated by Quatrain X-72.

The Sirius-correlated Argo also turns out to be very relevant here.  Because the main mission of Jason, the leader of the Argonauts who has been identified as the "appeasing King"/"King of terror" of X-72 earlier, was to obtain the 'golden fleece', and in Temple's words, "Aries was definitely identified with the golden fleece".  In case you don't know, Aries is the Greek Mars.  Aries is also a sign of the zodiac, "ruled" by Mars, and it is classified as a 'fire sign' - correlating with the fire-knowledge symbolism.  I should also point out that Mars is called 'fire star' in Japanese.

Moreover, Sirius/Isis' son Horus provides intriguing correlations.  First, the Great Sphinx associated earlier with 'ark' was called by Egyptians "Horus of Horizon" which also happens to be a name given to Mars.  And the word 'Cairo', where the Sphinx is (actually slightly west of Cairo), is derived from 'Mars'.  Mars was also called 'Horus the Red'.  And the word 'Heru' (Egyptian name for Horus) also has the meaning of 'face' - seemingly a reference to the infamous 'Face on Mars' at Cydonia! (So, as you can see, the Mars-Horus connection is quite obvious.)  Next, Sirius/ark comes into the web of associations, as the Argo also relates to Horus (thus to Mars too) as the Greek derivation of Horus, 'Circe', plays a prominent role in the story of Argo.  Also, as Temple hypothesizes, the names of the original captain of Argo, Herakles, and his protectress Hera may be derived from 'Heru' - the Egyptian name for Horus.  Furthermore, we're told that Herakles/Hera is related to the word 'Seirios' from which we have the word 'Sirius' - strengthening the Mars-ark-Sirius connection.  But as if it wasn't enough, Temple goes on to point out that 'Seirios' also has the meaning of 'fiery/scorching', that can easily be a reference to Mars. 





And finally, Mars and Sirius are linked by the 'tetrahedral angle' of 19.5 degrees.  '19.5 degrees' is one of the most significant notions derived from the supposed artificial structures of Cydonia that suggests their artificiality, according to investigators like Richard Hoagland ('The Monuments of Mars').  It is viewed as a definite 'signal in the noise' - some kind of a 'message' left there by some intelligence.  This number, '19.5', is called t, the 'tetrahedral constant', because of its significance in tetrahedral geometry (a tetrahedron is a pyramid shape composed of four equilateral triangular sides):  the apexes of a tetrahedron when placed within a circumscribing sphere, one of the tetrahedron's apexes touching the south (or north) pole, the other three apexes touch the surface of the sphere at 19.5 degrees north latitude.  So it is interesting that the Egyptian symbol for Sirius is a triangle which can be viewed as a 2-dimensional representation of a tetrahedron. 

 

Future Projections
 

Century X-72
The year 1999 seven month, 
From the sky will come a great King of terror: 
To bring back to life the great King of Angolmois, 
Before after Mars to reign by good luck 

Century VI-97
Forty five degrees the sky will burn, 
Fire to approach the great new city 
In an instant a great scattered flame will leap up, 
When they want to have proof of the Normans.

 
Eight lines.  So much learning from only eight lines of X-72 and VI-97.  Or is it just my imagination going wild?  If that was the case, I don't think I would've been able to make 'projections' with surprisingly potent results as illustrated in the 'Seeing the Pattern' section.  I've been intentionally avoiding using the word "prediction" because what I've been doing is more about recognizing, following, and projecting 'patterns' rather than specifically describing future events, i.e. predictions.  I usually do not get very specific because I'm not able to.  This doesn't mean that I can't speculate.  But what I mean is that the level of specificness of my 'projection/prediction' has to mostly depend on the level/quality of the hindsighted 'pattern matrix' that I manage to establish, in order to stay objective.  In other words, the level of the decoding of the past determines the quality of the future-decoding.  And what Nostradamus' quatrains are, at least to me, is a great tool to assist this process.  I feel the popular conception of the prophecies is misleading in that the focus is totally put on the future when they are more about mechanics and decoding the totality of 'reality', and the predictive quality of prophecies can be viewed only as a 'side effect', in a way.  And so, when I have not 'decoded' the matrix of reality to the point where I can trace the web of patterns to specific future events, I can only present general, associative projections that my decoding allow me to perceive.

But since I feel the on-going 'decoding' in conjunction with X-72 and VI-97 is progressing into a new level, and X-72 is giving us a rare case of the time-frame being specified (summer/fall 1999), I decided to be less conservative here and present some specific, seemingly very unlikely predictions - as an experiment, and part of the learning process.

First, let me give some key dates...

Key Dates:

•  
  • July 4, 1999

The Sign of the Times:

Now, let me present some quite specific predictions.  Keep in mind that I only consider the following to be potentiality and how physical/literal its manifestation will be is not clear to me.  The following therefore represents one possible scenario based on what I've 'decoded' out so far.

To clarify the nature of the future events associated with X-72 and VI-97, we will add two more quatrains to the web of associations.  Those quatrains are II-41 and II-48 which should be familiar to some of you as these are, just like VI-97, quatrains that I've repeatedly applied in the past (in 'CWN Analysis' material and 'The Elysian Fields') to this particular period we're living in.  The fact that those two quatrains synthesize nicely with the new information derived from X-72, VI-97, etc. is quite amazing and confirms both the new interpretations and the relevance of II-41 and II-48.

It needs to be noted first that Quatrains II-48 and II-41 have always been considered to be linked (in my model) which was a notion initially suggested by a hypnotic interpretation presented in Dolores Cannon's 'Conversations With Nostradamus' from which I learned a great deal over the years.  Here are the quatrains:

•  
  LINE 1:  "The great army which will pass the mountains"
  LINE 2:  "Saturn in the Arc turning from/of the fish Mars"
  •  Region surrounded by red = 'Field of Mars'

  LINE 3: "Poison hidden under the heads of salmon"

  LINE 4:  "Their head hung with thread of 'polemars'

  LINE 1:"The great star will burn for seven days"
  LINE 2: "The cloud will make double sun appear"
   
  LINE 3: "The large mastiff will howl all night"
   
  "The mastiff that will howl all night refers to a secret branch of the priesthood in the Catholic Church that no one knows about except a few high priest members.  This secret branch of the priesthood is like a private army, and the commander-in-chief is the pope.  Their job is to fight for the church if the need should arise, similar to the way the Jesuits used to be the soldiers of Christ."
  LINE 4:  "When the great pontiff changes his abode"
  LINE 1:  "The great star will burn for seven days"
  LINE 2: "The cloud will make double sun appear"
  LINE 3: "The large mastiff will howl all night"
Look at II-41.  It's incredible!  This one should be called 'the Sirius quatrain'!  The first line is already more than enough to make the connection - 'great star', 'burn', and 'seven'.  Sirius, the "great star", has been closely associated with the notion of 'burning' and 'seven' (eg. Sirius = 'Sept' => seven) earlier.  And "seven days" relates to Saturn through Saturnalia - the proto-christmas festival in December that lasted 'seven days'.

The "double sun" of Line 2 also correlates with Sirius A and Sirius B orbiting around each other.  And the "mastiff" of course relates to Sirius the 'Dog Star'!  I mean, this quatrain is screaming "Sirius!".

And II-48...  Line 2 is enough to suggests the whole 'Sirius complex' - 'Saturn', 'Arc', and 'Mars'.  But the most striking thing about quatrain II-48 is its correlation with Paris - which is of course part of the Sirius complex - and more specifically with the 'Elysian Fields' region of Paris where the Arc de Triomphe stands.  (The connection is so striking that I feel this one should be called 'the Paris quatrain'.)  This issue was discussed in Chapter 7 of 'The Elysian Fields' but let me go through it here again with some new additional interpretations:


The "great army" is precisely the name of one of the 12 streets that extend from the famous circular road that surrounds the Arc de Triomphe ("Place Charles de Gaulle"), which is called in French, "Grande Armee".  'Grand Armee' is not only one of the 12 streets but it's the direct extension of the main street, 'Champs Elysees' (Elysian Fields).  The "mountains" is likely an allusion to the Arc de Triomphe which stands in between 'Champs Elysees' and 'Grande Armee'  Here are pictures showing the relevant region of Paris and the relationship of the Grande Armee avenue, Arc de Triomphe, and the Elysian Fields.
 


 
 
 
 

   · Red region = Arc de Triomphe & Place Charles de Gaulle
  · Purple street = Grande Armee avenue
  · Blue street = Elysian Fields
 
 
 
 

   
The "Arc" is obviously a reference to the' Arc de Triomphe'.  And the notion is strengthened by the word right after "Arc", "turning" - which implies circular movement/shape and nicely corresponds to the famous circular road going around the Arc de Triomphe (see the picture at right).  The phrase "Saturn in the Arc" corroborates the Saturn-ark connection we've made.

The latter half, "turning/corner of the fish Mars" can be interpreted in a quite different and symbolic way, and it is necessary to use a map of the relevant region of Paris again:
 
 

   
As you can see, the Elysian Fields, the Arc de Triomphe etc. are placed right beside the Seine River. Interestingly, on the other side of the river, there is a garden called the "Field of Mars" ('Champ de Mars') in which stands Paris' landmark, the Eiffel Tower.  This is reinforcing the relevance of Mars.  Now, the word 'Seine' (name the river) means "fishing net". That metaphorically makes (the Field of) Mars the "fish" trapped in the net. This would also make the same region where the river is turning 90 degrees the "corner of the 'fish-Mars'" to fit Line 2.

The "fish" also correlates with Sirius because the Dogon tradition tells us that the "Nommos" that supposedly came from the Sirius system were fish-like (and yes, we're now getting into the issue of extraterrestrial intelligence).  So the phrase 'fish Mars' again associates Sirius with Mars.

The very first word, "poison", creates an interesting connection with Line 2 because the French word for "fish" is "poisson" which is nearly identical, both in spelling and pronunciation, to the word 'poison' which is also a French word for poison. Thus, combined with the last word of the line "salmon", the notion of 'fish' seems to be emphasized.  Interestingly, the original French word used for 'poison' was actually 'Venins' which resembles Venus.  It seems relevant, therefore, that Venus goes retrograde (i.e. reversing its apparent movement in the sky) during the key period of August 1999, corresponding to "salmon" (which is known to swim against the current) of the same line and also to the previous line's expression, "turning of the fish". This last line of the quatrain strongly reinforces the concepts put forward by the interpretation of the previous lines. The last word of the line "polemars" is not a real word, most likely it's a made-up word / anagram.  Decoding is not that difficult - first we'll divide it into two words, 'pole' and 'Mars'.  Continued from previous interpretations, it is not hard to see that the "pole" would refer to the 'Eiffel Tower' that stands in the' Field of Mars'.

To decipher the whole line, we need to take a closer look at the map of the region of the 'Field of Mars':

Notice that the park, the Field of Mars ("Champ de Mars"), seemingly crosses over the river. The Seine River can be viewed as dividing the park and there is a bridge connecting the two parts. Since the park area can be viewed metaphorically as "fish" based on previous interpretations, notice how the park left of the river can be viewed as the "head" of the fish barely 'hanging on' to the body, the Field of Mars, by the bridge or the "thread" from "polemars" / the Field of Mars.  Thus it would fit Line 4.

Also, since the French word "fil", which I translated here as "thread", could also mean 'stream', the line could also interpreted like this: "Their head hung by the stream of the Field of Mars". This would still be metaphorically describing how the Seine River is dividing the Field of Mars and its "head".

And that's basically how Quatrain II-48 relates to Paris (and through which to the 'Sirius/ark complex')... but there is one last thing to add to all this.  And this is my favorite part :)  Well, we've looked at every line of the quatrain, so what's left?  Ah, yes we left out the number of the quatrain 2 and 48.  Why, of course, those numbers are the coordinates of Paris (Paris: 2.3 deg. E & 48.8 deg. N)!

Now let's shift our focus back to II-41 and do more in-depth study:

Century II - 41
The great star will burn for seven days,
The cloud will make double sun appear:
The large mastiff will howl all night
When the great pontiff changes his abode.

Like earlier pointed out, 'great star', 'burn', and 'seven' relate to Sirius.  Now we can associate the "great star" with  the Place Charles de Gaulle (Arc de Triomphe + the surrounding circular "square") since it was originally called the Place d'Etoile or 'Square of the Star', further linking the two quatrains II-41 and II-48.

From a slightly different angle, the fragments of Comet SL-9 'burned' Jupiter for about '7 days' in July 1994 and caught the attention of the world.  The dates of this 'light show' were July 16~22 which roughly coincides with one of the key 'Sirius dates', July 20, mentioned earlier.  Moreover, the dates July 16~22 very closely matches the dates of the historic Apollo 11 mission - first ever manned landing on the Moon - which were July 16~24 (and the landing occurred on the key date, July 20).  This is meaningful especially when you consider the fact that Apollo the sun god could be identified with Horus the sun god (the son of Isis, and earlier associated with Sirius and Mars).  Recall also that July 20 was associated with the 'flood' (of the Nile) in conjunction with Sirius.  In Greco-Roman mythology, the god who causes the Flood to punish mankind is Jupiter - the very planet Comet SL-9 crashed into.  And Jupiter was mythologically associated with the 'eagle' - the very name of the spacecraft that landed on the moon on that exact flood/Sirius date, July 20 (1969)!

So, in various ways Line 1 corresponds to the Sirius complex.

Besides the 'double sun' reference to Sirius, this line still continues the allusion to the Jupiter-Comet SL-9 collision - the 'cloud' of the fragmented comet colliding with Jupiter to produce a great light show (becoming the 'second sun').
  As previously stated, the "mastiff" alludes to Sirius the 'Dog Star'.  But a new interpretation can be derived from this line when combined with the 'hypnotic interpretation' by 'Brenda' of this line presented in Dolores Cannon's 'Conversations With Nostradamus' material:
 

I must say that this sounds like it may relate to the Knights Templar after whose tradition the Jesuits are structured.  This would be very congruent since the Templars are intimately associated with the ark/Grail and so also naturally with Sirius the 'Dog Star'.  And the CWN hypnotic interpretation and my own converge nicely.

On another level of interpretation, the "private army" of the pope could be in reference to a military corps known as the Swiss Guard that the Vatican maintains and whose function is to protect the pope and his personal residence.  Remarkably, here we again see a Switzerland connection (in the name).  Remember that Switzerland has been linked with the Templars and the 'ark' earlier.  But it gets even more interesting:  it turns out that King Louis XIII of France also had a body of soldiers called Swiss Guards to protect him. But they all died on August 10, 1792 during the French Revolution while defending the royal palace in Paris.  So, we meet Paris again.  The date August 10 is intriguing too as it is only one day before a total eclipse over Europe (Aug. 11, 1999).  And it is said (I haven't really checked) that the 'eclipse zone' passes exactly at Paris in the midday!  Paris again...  I feel there will be a 'resonance' of the demise of King Louis XIII's Swiss Guards manifested around that time.  This likely correlates with the sudden dissolution of the Knights Templar on Oct. 13, 1307, when they were betrayed by the pope at the time.  And here comes the last line of the quatrain...

Notice that this line shifts the focus from Sirius to the issue of the Church completely, even though the foregoing interpretations made this transition very smooth.  And this line is relatively straightforward.  The implication is that we may see the Church in upheaval in the summer/fall of 1999.

Incredibly, if we go back to Line 2, it appears to describe the nature of the upheaval in more detail:

        LINE 2:  "The cloud will make double sun appear"

This now can be interpreted to be referring to the next pope election.  To see the connection, we need to first look at the process of the election. The most common way to elect a pope is by ballot. By lot, the cardinals choose from their group three who collect the ballots of the infirm, three who counts the votes and three reviewers of the results. Two votes are taken every morning and two every afternoon until a two-thirds plus one majority is obtained. The crowd in St. Peter's Square follow the bolloting by watching the smoke that comes from the chimney on the palace roof. The smoke is from burning all the ballots. If the necessary majority is not reached, the ballots are burned in a way that creates black smoke. When the majority is reached, the ballots are burned in a manner that creates white smoke to signal the election.

Now, the word Nostradamus used for "cloud" was 'nuee' which actually implies a big/black cloud rather than a nice/white cloud. Therefore a more fitting translation would be:

     "Black cloud will make double sun appear"

Next, the "sun" appearing is symbolic of the successor to Pope John Paul II, because he is the 'pope of the solar eclipse' (JPII was born during a solar eclipse May 18, 1920; and he was given the name "De labore Solis" - 'of the eclipse of the sun' - by St. Malachy, an Irish bishop who visited Rome in 1139 and supposedly had a prophetic vision in which he saw all the popes that would sit in St. Peter's Chair. And he identified the future popes by two-word Latin mottoes which correspond to the most striking events of their reign or by their coat-of-arms. They appear to be surprisingly accurate).  I don't think I need to point out its relevance to the solar eclipse of Aug. 11, '99.  So, continuing, the 'sun appearing' would metaphorically refer to the pope who follows the 'eclipse pope', John Paul II.

But the line says there would be 'two' suns. When combined with the "black cloud" part (which means unsuccessful vote), it's not that difficult to derive the meaning of the whole line; it would refer to a situation of 'pope vs. antipope'  (i.e. one elected or claiming to be pope in opposition to the pope canonically chosen).  And the indications are that those two 'popes' will be the last popes.  At least there are no more popes after them in Malachy's prophetic list of popes.  Perhaps it could be viewed that the dissolution of the Church is to begin in the summer/fall of 1999 with the next election.
 
Remarkably, it turns out, this Church issue is applicable to the other quatrain, II-48, and especially its second line:

        LINE 2:  "Saturn in the Arc turning  from the fish Mars"

As mentioned earlier, the "Arc" can be applied to the Alps which forms a big nice arc at the northern end of Italy. And "the fish Mars" symbolically allude to the cardinals (from whom a pope is elected), because the cardinals wear a red dress and a red cap, the color of Mars; and St. Peter, the first pope, was a fisherman - and the role of a pope is referred to as a "fisher of men".  Now, coincidentally, one of the cardinals considered likely to succeed Pope John Paul II, Cardinal Carlo Martini, is the archbishop of Milan, Italy which happens to be located right inside the Alps' "arc" at the northern edge of Italy. This suggest that Cardinal Milan will be involved in the coming trouble of the papal election

Amazingly, the very same line alludes to another participant in the schism.  The key is to interpret the "arc" as the arcs of latitude/longitude (which are indeed 'arcs' drawn on the surface of the planet). And it just happens that the long./lat. "arcs"/ 'coordinates', based on the quatrain # '2-48', corresponds to Paris as explained earlier; and Paris happens to be the location of Cardinal Jean-Marie Lustiger, the archbishop of Paris, who is also regarded as a very strong candidate to succeed John Paul II!  Cardinal Lustiger is also a Jew (but believes Jesus was the savior), which is interesting because the prophetic motto St. Malachy gave to the next pope is "Glory of the Olive (Tree)" and the olive tree is a common Roman symbol for Jedea/Palestine.  Furthermore, this Christian-Jew mix can be compared to the "fish Mars" from the same line of II-48 because it can be taken to mean 'Pisces Aries' which corresponds to Christianity and Judaism.  (Jesus represents the beginning of the Age of Pisces and Moses signified the Age of Aries.)

So, we seem to have found the candidates for the next two popes who will be involved in the destruction of the Church.  The reason why "Saturn" ("in the Arc") would correspond to both Cardinal Martini and Cardinal Lustiger since both can be viewed to be "in the Arc" as we've just seen is perhaps because they together bring about the end of an era, or time, just as Saturn represents 'Time the destroyer'.

This concludes the discussion on the Church matter, but let us take another look at II-41 and interpret them on a different level.

First, let me mention that the hypnotic interpretations of the CWN material indicates that II-41 and II-48 relate to a "light display" associated with extraterrestrial intelligence (!).  Looking at Line 1~3 of II-41, I can't help but theorize that this "light display" would have to do with Sirius:

 
Those lines just strike me as collectively describing how Sirius will be 'screaming' in the sky.  It correlates strongly with X-72's second line "From the sky will come a great King of terror/appeasing King" (the "appeasing King" => Jason of the Argo/ark => Sirius).  Of course there are many ways Sirius can "howl" (metaphorically), but let me present some especially intriguing possibilities.

Consider the following:  Sirius was called the 'Arrow star', and the Sanskrit word for 'an arrow, 'ishu', also means 'ray of light', and the Dogon tradition tells us that the ray of Digitaria (i.e. Sirius B) sweeps the Earth once a year.  This imagery of an arrow-like ray of light that periodically 'sweeps' the Earth strongly reminds me of one particular type of star - a 'pulsar'.  A 'pulsar' is a virtually dead star, a neutron star, that rotates rapidly and causes electromagnetic beams to be emitted like a lighthouse (i.e. rotating light beams).  The unique thing about pulsars is that their light emission is focused into 'arrow-like' beams and not omni-directional like most light sources in the sky.  Therefore, the visibility of a pulsar depends on the geometry involved between the pulsar and the observer.  So it is possible that a pulsar that's been invisible to us for a long time suddenly appears in the sky due to some slow-shifting geometric relationship.

What I'm getting at, is that there may be a pulsar in the Sirius system that's about to be observable for us on Earth.  And this would make the "double sun" of Sirius.  But will it be Sirius B?  I'm not sure.  Sirius B is considered to be a 'white dwarf' and 'white dwarfs' are not known to develop into pulsars, so scientifically it's unlikely, but science is always revising itself so I won't rule out the possibility of some unknown mechanism that lets Sirius B become a pulsar.

But there is another possibility I'd like to mention here.  It's 'emme ya'/'Sirius C' - claimed by the Dogon to exist but not yet confirmed by scientific observation.  According to the Dogon tradition, this star "throws out two pairs of radii (beams)" and it's "the only star which emits these beams which have the quality of solar rays" ('Sirius Mystery', pp44-45).  These descriptions remarkably match the characteristics of a pulsar!  I mean, what other celestial bodies "throws pairs of... beams" besides pulsars?  Furthermore, 'emme ya/Sirius C is called the 'sun of women', 'a little sun', and it is said to be accompanied by a satellite called the 'star of Women'.  And this 'star of women' is represented by the sign of a 'cross', which correlates with the astrological 'grand cross' of Aug. 18, '99 (also the date for Cassini-earth 'crossing') and the cross of christianity, the Knights Templar, etc. - all relevant to Sirius.

So it seems possible that the 'light display' refers to the discovery/appearance of another star in the Sirius system (emme ya/Sirius C) which may be a pulsar.

If the Sirius "light display" of this kind and the Church schism are to occur, they will likely coincide with each other timing-wise.  And the key period seems to be the summer/fall of 1999.  Keep in mind, however, that those two are not the only projected events - for example, we have the Mars/Cydonia/Atlantis issues (still Sirius-related though).  Notice that the quatrain # of II-41 we just looked at contains the Cydonia/NYC latitude number '41'.

Also, we're also likely to experience some unexpected events that will fit the quatrains and interpretations nicely - and we'll learn from it.

I guess that's it for now.
