MaesHowe

2. The Brittany-MaesHowe Meridian

Castlerigg is at the phi (φ) point of the line from the Goulvars menhir to MaesHowe, running the length of the UK with capitals Edinburgh and Cardiff on its path.

3. Field notes on the MaesHowe entrance

Photography is not allowed inside the protected MaesHowe interior. Some field notes of mine are displayed above. The archaeology guides at the site say it is built on granite, which sets it apart from everything around it. They know this means it is important, but they don't know what its significance is. To the left you can see that it is the end (top) of a line going through the UK capitals and Castlerigg, indicating its importance.

MaesHowe is older than the Egyptian pyramids. There are 4 standing stones inside, blending in with, but not incorporated into the interior stonework, which the experts say were standing before the mound was built around them. This makes me think of the expression, the "4 corners of the Earth". Given the indications of the importance of this site, might this be an allusion to the Earth itself? Since Stonehenge and the Great Pyramid both display knowledge of the size of Earth in their dimensions, MaesHowe may do the same somehow.

Let's take a closer look at the dimensions of the MaesHowe door...

From Goulvars to Castlerigg is 793 kilometers, and from Castlerigg to MaesHowe is 490 kilometers.

793/490 = 1.618 = φ = the golden proportion

4.The entrance to MaesHowe

I measured the entrance passage to MaesHowe, almost 30 meters long. If MaesHowe is really a megalith meant to leave meaning beyond itself, it would seem its door might be a repository of revelation.

The opening - the door - of the entrance is the same dimension all through the length of the entrance. passage, 38" wide and 52" high.

So right out of the gate is an indication of something profound... dividing the height by the width to get the door's ratio, is 1.37.

137 is the reciprocal of the cutting edge concept of modern atomic physics, the Fine Structure Constant, designated alpha, α.

Famous atomic physicist Richard Feynman said of this mysterious α constant:

"It has been a mystery ever since it was discovered ... all ... physicists put this number up on their wall and worry about it.

"Immediately you would like to know where this number ... comes from: is it related to pi or perhaps to the base of natural logarithms? Nobody knows. It's one of the greatest damn mysteries of physics: a magic number that comes to us with no understanding by humans. You might say the 'hand of God' wrote that number, and 'we don't know how He pushed His pencil."

So the enigma of MaesHowe speaks back to us with an enigma: 137, a dimensionless constant that has to do with the boundaries of matter and energy.

5.More on the MaesHowe door...

The door is 38" wide. That is 3.16.' The number 3.16 is essentially the square root of 10, √10. This number signals a meaning similar to the fine structure constant, α, also seen in the door's dimensions.

The square root of 10 can be interpreted as the essence or foundation of divine order and completion. It represents the underlying principle that generates the wholeness and unity symbolized by the number 10. It can also be seen as a bridge between the physical and spiritual realms, as it is a number that cannot be perfectly represented by a finite decimal. The fine structure constant deals with the physical world - protrons and electrons - and the likelihood of their taking in or emitting energy, or light - the spiritual realm.

So both √10 and α (the fine structure constant) deal with the border between matter and light, the physical and spiritual worlds. The indications of two different significations in the door: its height/width ratio of 1.37 and its width of √10' are that something profound is being symbolized by this construction. The doorway into the structure is indicating that these ancient sages were informing us not only that they were capable of modern GPS precision, advanced math, and sacred geometry, but also were giving us clues about how to enter within the veil to the world beyond our own physical world. They seem to be sharing their faith in an afterlife, which is capable of being reached...

This is the statement of the MaesHowe door!
