Celtic Cross as Navigational Tool

Miscellaneous

In 1997 Crichton Miller made an astounding discovery that will change our concepts of the historical and religious past forever.

Crichton’s background and life experiences play a fundamentally important part for this shattering revelation; he is a qualified yachtsman and navigator with an interest in ancient history and religions.

Through the results of intensive research he proposes that the knowledge that formed our present system of beliefs and science was probably inherited from ancient mariners that sailed the oceans of the world in prehistory.

He further proposes that in the cataclysms that followed the melting of the ice age 12500 years ago, which was responsible for the destruction of a huge part of the flora and fauna of our planet, the most likely humans to survive were those who were at sea.

The reason for this is that any tsunami that is large enough to destroy Civilization would be more easily ridden out at sea, where the effect would more likely turn out to be a large swell on the surface of the ocean.

Whereas, the effect on a coastline of a large tidal wave would be horrendous as the swell was turned into a giant breaking wave as it reached shallower depths. This breaking violent wave would annihilate all before it as it rushed up the beach.

Evidence of any earlier civilizations are almost impossible to find as they are now below 300 feet of seawater making archaeology very difficult.

However there is evidence of earlier civilizations; this evidence has been left in stone and myth for us to decipher.

The author believes that these civilizations were maritime based, as we still are today.

That these Ancient Sea peoples had developed a form of geometry and mathematics that was linked to astronomy and astrology as a result of the prime mover, survival.

You have to know where you are at sea and to do that you must be able to find latitude and longitude.

To find longitude you must know the time both locally and at a prime meridian.

Today the prime meridian is at Greenwich but Crichton proposes that the original prime meridian is at Giza in Egypt from which all local times and distances were calculated.

The result of this knowledge was that watch stations were developed throughout the world explaining the similarity over the millennia of structures and beliefs on a worldwide basis.

This network has long been investigated and argued about, current academic belief expounds, in the face of lack of real evidence, that it is purely co incidental that there are such similarities.

Many investigators and writers have commented on various pieces of evidence that could not be explained. These intrepid explorers have brought masses of information to the public attention. This information only deepens the sense of mystery and in some cases convinces a large section of the population into believing that aliens must have been involved in the achieving of the inexplicable.

The author does not believe that aliens were involved, but rather that we are the aliens because we do not understand the way our ancestors thought and lived.

The Golden Thread Of Time by Crichton E M Miller

The Golden Thread Of Time by Crichton E M Miller

In his book “The Golden Thread of Time” ISBN 0-9541639-0-7 Crichton shows that, in comparison to the ancients, we have become very dualistic and have divorced ourselves from nature and the cosmos.

Were this not so, we would be able to see what they left quite clearly and our civilisations would not be on the brink of disaster through conflict and the destruction of the environment.

To prove his point, that we have difficulty in seeing clearly, he has been fortunate in discovering the instrument that the ancients used in prehistory to measure the stars and the planet on which we live.

This instrument can tell the time, find latitude and longitude, measure the angles of the stars, predict the solstices and equinoxes and measure the precession of the equinoxes.

The instrument can also find the ecliptic pole as well as the north and south poles, it can make maps and charts, design pyramids and henges and used in combination with these observers can record and predict the cycles of Nature and Time.

The instrument is the machine of the Ancient Wise Ones that invented astrology and astronomy, it is also a religious icon hidden in the face of the public today.

So what is this ancient icon that all humanity sees daily and does not recognize?

It is on all Christian Churches and many gravestones; it is in literature and song and can be seen hanging round the necks of the faithful all over the world.

The teachers of the Christian faith use it, kneel before it, wear it as part of their raiment and yet they do not seem to recognize it for what it is.

Indeed the cross may be older than time and the greatest treasure ever left by our ancestors.

The cross is a maritime treasure trove of wisdom and it is proposed that it may have been responsible for constructing the pyramids.

The author has discovered the remnants of a cross that was hidden by the House of Amen, in the Great Pyramid of Khufu at Giza. This amazing cross is capable of measuring angles to an accuracy of three arc minutes showing that the cross may be more important than the pyramid since the pyramid could not exist without the cross.

The cross appears to be much older than the pyramids since it is also responsible for the construction of Neolithic henges in Europe that predate the pyramids by thousands of years.

The author has found out that this knowledge was rediscovered and kept secret by the Knight Templars and other secret societies throughout the Middle Ages.

This great secret probably led to the destruction of the Amerindian Civilizations at the hands of the Conquistador when they found them measuring the stars with a form of cross which was called by the Maya their “Staff of Power”

It is possible that the Churches knew of its purpose during the last few centuries, but it seems that it is completely forgotten now.

To show the comparison of this ancient technology, please look at the following photograph of a Celtic cross in the graveyard of Crichton Churchyard, near Roslyn Chapel in the Scottish borders.

You will see that the cross forms an upright with cross bars set at 90 degrees to each other.

In the center of the cross is an object that looks like a hub and on the hub is hung a wheel.

Now, our ancestors never designed things without purpose and the first purpose of using stone, as a medium is that of preservation.

The second thing that they did was to incorporate important knowledge for their descendants.

In keeping with the concept of “not casting pearls before swine”, they hid esoteric messages in anything that they carved so that the seeker may find what he or she was ready to understand.

This can be ably demonstrated by the fabulous work of craft masons in the mediaeval cathedrals of Europe and of course, by much older constructions like the Great Pyramid.

It is clear from observation that these masons carved a particular object that is obviously a wheel that is designed to rotate between cross bars on a hub.

Why?

In some of the older crosses, they incorporated a serpentine design around the wheel and also made the arms of the cross more wide at the outer edge than on the inner.

Why?

The answer to these questions only came to Crichton when he was experimenting with different methods to find out how the Egyptians could have surveyed the Great Pyramid and aligned it with the stars.

All constructions need surveying first and the Great Pyramid was an enormous undertaking of civil engineering, so using the simplest of materials and the accepted mathematics of the time, Crichton assembled a theodolite, which could carry out the tasks required.

With the addition of a scale rule and a plumbline, the instrument became a cross that was extremely accurate and fulfilled the set task and much more.

Not long after this discovery, while carrying out further research, Crichton discovered the records of the Dixon Relics that were discovered in the north shaft of the Queens chamber in 1872.

On further investigation, he also discovered that there were further relics still in the shaft and that these could be seen quite clearly in the photographs taken by Rudolph Gantenbrink in 1994 with his miniature Robot “Uphaut 2”.

Crichton then set about assembling the relics in a logical format and the astounding result was a cross and plumbline of incredible accuracy.

This artifact is capable of measuring all angles possible and coupled with sufficient astronomical knowledge it reveals all the mysteries of the ancients, how they kept time and measured the stars, sun, moon, planets and sailed the oceans of the world.

But it goes further than that, exposing the Ancient’s fundamental spirituality and understanding of the world, nature and the universe.

Crichton has discovered and published this rich source of understanding in his book “The Golden Thread of |Time” ISBN 0-9541639-0-7

Many of these revelations have never been seen by the public before and are a must for those who seek truth and understanding.

Crichton Miller applied for a patent on the cross and plumbline in 1998 and the patent was finally granted in November 2000 as an astronomical, surveying and navigational instrument by The British Patent Office.

The result of this patent is the instrument you see below, as you can see it is a faithful representation of the Celtic cross in (Figure 1).

This resurrected version of the cross is made so that modern people may understand it and compare it with the cross (in figure 1) or with any Celtic cross in any part of the world.

The working cross is marked in degrees round the edge and the wheel spins freely on a hub.

The cross arms are perforated with viewing holes to allow the observer to read the angles and the bottom of the wheel is weighted so that it will always point to the center of the earth.

The scale around the outer edge of the wheel runs from 0 degrees at the bottom to 90 degrees clockwise and anti clockwise so that horizontal measurements can be taken in any direction through the viewing holes.

You can see the advantages of this instrument immediately when you look at the photograph below of an observer measuring the angle of the sun as it rises in the east at dawn.

Figure_1_Working_Cross

As the world spins round, the sun appears to rise from the horizon and its angle of ascent may be read from the scale directly.

This angle changes, as the season’s progress throughout the year and time and place may be determined from the results of observing stars, planets and constellations.

Crichton considers himself fortunate to have discovered the gift of the cross to pass on to his fellow man.

The cross should be completely understood by as many as possible, for it was the foundation of the very roots of ancient Civilization, wisdom and understanding.

Crichton believes that, in these current, dangerous and confused times, we could do well trying to understand the deeper knowledge of our ancestors and apply some of it to our present world.
