Ed stated that he left his sweet 16 in Florida City which leads me to believe it’s possible that the drop below sign or more specifically, what it represents could be a significant key if it could possible represent Ed’s Sweet 16.
Until PKB enlightened me about it having been left behind, I had been trying to tie it into a “step”, as in the first clue being the sign, then the image on the door, ring twice, and so forth.
Perhaps what it was designed to show became irrelevant as Ed’s work was extremely accelerated after he moved everything.( I believe the amount of construction at rock gate was more than double (in blocks carved and weight moved) over a short, three year period.
Was the steel door at Ed’s Place?
Was there a ring twice sign (and/or a bell)?
That's a hard call. They all are significant in their own way I guess.
Was the steel door at Ed’s Place?
I don't think so.. think it was new at Rock Gate.
Was there a ring twice sign (and/or a bell)?
Not sure of this. So much unknown about that place. Best thing is to find any old pics of it.
Praveen Mohan got it right by simply making a phone call and reading the CC visitors' booklet. Please check:
@dante do you have any news on your findings about the "Alchemical Door" - the door which displays a sign similar to the ADM stone?
While I wait for you guys, I'm gonna prepare a post to connect a few more dots.
Thanks a lot.
@RLPoole I spent some time thinking about your explanation but I couldn't wrap my head around it and I don't think Edward's realization had anything to do with Earth's axis. Rather, I think by looking at Polaris Edward simply realized that North & South have nothing to do with our planet but they exist outside, in space, and that has to do with how we receive light.
I don't know if you've read Orval Irwin's book that you can buy in the Coral Castle Visitor's center.. if you ever visited. But I have a copy of it. I'd like to find the section that dealt with what ED's friend said from first-hand experience about EDL's discovery and this topic you ask of RL Poole. To summarize here right now.. the bottom line is Ed's discovery was that the Polaris didn't go around each quarter of the "circle" in the Polaris Telescope in the same period of time...and throughout the year. He found that it sped up and slowed down.
Personally, I never could quite wrap my mind around the description myself.. though I asked someone who acted like they understood it. I find it doubtful that it's an easy solution.. or EDL wouldn't have been so excited about it when he found it. In his adverts, he asks the scientists to look at his sundial in conjunction with the Polaris Telescope. Obviously the sun dial involves cubes and spheres. The Polaris Telescope obviously involves the celestial pole. But Orval add that it also involves time. I don't understand how he could use the SUN dial at night when he would be using the Polaris telescope to see Polaris star. I also never understood how he could tell the speed of Polaris during the daylight hours to see that it changed. I often wondered if he found a way to see stars during the day with an ingenious device he found.
On another thread G11 mentions bouncing radio waves off of the moon. I guess it's highly unlikely but feasible that EDL found a way to find the location of Polaris in relationship to his Polaris Telescope during daylight and nighttime hours. Another odd fact about Orval Irwin's statement that I could never understand is that I know from seeing EDL's cross wires on the telescope... that the quarters are not equal. Orval seems to intimate that this is showing EDL's find in the difference in time relative to the clock and the Pole Star. If you look at it.. you might be tempted to think it was just thrown up homemade without accuracy if you didn't understand EDL's flare for details. If it was accuracy.. in mind.. he could have found much better ways to chart the position of Polaris relative to the cone shaped hole in the stone. I wonder if the iron in the cross-hairs was somehow involved with his homemade magnets hanging in thread or spider web somehow.
I'm no magnet-head by any stretch of the imagination.. but I wonder if those two crossing wires could be part of a larger machine to constantly find the position of Polaris.
You familiar with the law of the inversed square? At one foot X=X, at 2 feet X=X/4, 3 feet X=X/9?
Yes, you told me nothing new there.. except for the insect wings being magnetic.. and presumably a spider web as well. Did not know that.
However, your understanding of the Polaris telescope likely is very naive and flawed. Polaris makes one revolution around the outside of his stone cone hole in 24 hours roughly.. not in 365.24 days. I am familiar with the fact that they say the earth speeds up and slows down at different points of its yearly orbit. I did allude to the fact that someone else already told me that as well. That was their theory.
1. It's too simple of a solution and EDL wouldn't have been so excited about it if that was the answer in finding common knowledge I say.
2. As I said above, Polaris makes that "circle" every 24 hours.. not every 365.24 days.
"Ed could hardly wait to tell about his scientific discovery, which was next on the tour. He proudly pointed to an eight-inch hole near the top of a 12 foot slender stone column. A few feet away there was a shorter column, also with a smaller hole near the bottom. In both holes, wires crossed horizontally and vertically. At night, you could look through the holes and see the North Star.
After much observation and careful study, Ed discovered the North Star was not true north. According to his observation, he discovered that at different intervals the North Star would appear in each of the four quarters that the crossed wire created. Ed was right. Because Earth is like a top that wobbles while it spins, the north star does not remain perfectly north. It's gradually moving throughout the years due to the motion of the earth."
Orval's last sentence also seems naive to me.. as he's now referring to the 26,000ish year precession cycle or the obliquity of the ecliptic. EDL was ONLY about 5 or 6000 years late for that discovery... as the Babylonians discovered it before the Greeks. It was no new "scientific discovery" made by EDL. SO I call total BS and idiocy on Orval Irwin for making that statement. He also makes other strange statements here about Polaris not being "true North". No sh**! Everyone knows that Polaris isn't in the dead center of his circle and cross-hairs. That's why he carved an "eight inch hole" in the stone to watch Polaris travel around the outside of the circle.. whereas the center of the circle is "true north". I say Orval did not understand ED's discovery.. or he's purposely misrepresenting here what it was. His accounts of precession of the earth is not new, the Greeks even have a star map that shows the circle it makes in its 26,000 year cycle.
@OH Gee "1""1",
The Law of Inverted squares ONLY seems applicable in relationship to Polaris if EDL had a way to measure the intensity of light shifts of Polaris throughout the day and/or year. It's interesting angle that I appreciate the thought on.. but as usual.. you throw shit out there with no complete thoughts. Then you go back to bragging about your incredible superhero intellect.
Maybe you'd dare to complete a whole chain of thought and logic how the law of inverted squares relates to the Polaris Telescope? I double dog dare you to link together a complete hypothesis of how EDL would have used this.
Is your shotgun mind capable of this amount of focus required to string together ALL the steps.. or is that knowledge TOO dangerous to share with us .. as we might die of radiation poisoning?
Wow.. started off super cool and I was totally digging it.. but those conclusions.. WTF?!! I've got to ponder that one.
