MaesHowe Door Dimensions

6. MaesHowe Mystic Door Dimensions

The diagram with the dimensions of the MaesHower door shows the width of 3.16', used as a diameter, creates a circle with a circumference of 10'. A circle symbolizes eternity, no beginning and no end. The circle symbolizes anciently Heaven, and the square (or rectangle), Earth. The circle is outlined with a dotted line because it is implied, not visible. The fact that its circumference is 10' dovetails with the symbolism of the circle itself. 10 is a combination of 1, a symbol of the male genital, and 0, a symbol of the female, joined together for the creation of a new life. The number 10 is associated with the idea of the completion of one cycle and the beginning of the next.

So it could be that somehow MaesHowe is both a symbol of Earth, and the Earth made new, the New Earth talked about in Revelation 21:1:

"And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first
heaven and the first earth were passed away..."

When we are interpreting these ancient megaliths, it is a form of reading an ancient bible, written in stone. So if the replacement of the present ecologically impaired Earth with an Earth made New is an ancient idea, then why shouldn't it be written in stone long before the prophecies in the book of Revelation? And of course it should be. All true prophecy comes from Source, the ΑΩ. So it seems to me that MaesHowe is hinting that it somehow symbolizes the Earth that we live on now... but also, somehow, the New Earth that is yet to be seen. MaesHowe is the northernmost, the top, of a line through the whole of the UK, running through capital cities Cardiff and Edinburgh, golden-sectioned by Castlerigg.

Its placement screams out depth of meaning!

And there is more...

7.The Megalith Yard

Alexander Thom, Oxford engineer, discovered the ancient Megalithic Yard (MY) through deduction from measuring hundreds of megalithic sites throughout the UK. The Megalithic Yard is distinct from the metric system, the British system or the Egyptian system of cubits, being 2.72 feet. An indication that the MY is used in the measure of the MaesHowe doorway, is that taking the measure of the height on each side, if the intention was slightly less than the 52", yields two lengths of 1.58 MY, which added together are 3.16MY.

So the width is 3.16' and twice the height is 3.16MY. When you get the same number from two different measuring systems, it is significant, indicating skilled intentionality. And it happens again, in a third system of measure!

Still, there is more...

8.Cubit Connection at MaesHowe

The 52" height of the MaesHowe door is 2.52 royal Egyptian cubits (rc). Since there are four primordial standing stones in the mysterious interior of MaesHowe, let's multiply the height of the door measured in cubits by four.

• 2.52rc X 4 = 10.08rc

Since there is a circular cantilevered roof on top of the chamber, let's multiply this product times pi (π) as 22/7.

• 10.08rc X 22/7 (π) = 31.6rc

31.6 is ten times 3.16, thus 10 √10rc.

So now three different measuring systems have the number 3.16 or the square root of 10 in the doorway into MaesHowe:

1. Imperial feet: 3.16'

2. Megalithic yards: 3.16MY

3. Royal Egyptian cubits: 31.6rc (10 times 3.16rc)

Again it is very unusual that the same number would appear in three different measuring systems. Because of the importance and mystery attached to MaesHowe it could be that its sages intentionally placed these there to emphasize the concept of √10, the square root of ten.

ten (10) can represent wholeness, or completeness, or starting new at a higher level. A square root can represent getting to the root of something, its essence So this emphasis on 3.16, the square root of 10 dovetails with the idea of the New Earth, when the Earth will be renewed in the age to come.

So MaesHowe can be a physical representation of the idea of Earth going from a Garden of Eden, to a splintering Planet, which will again be renewed as the New Jerusalem in the New Earth in the Next Age.
