life, the discovery was purely accidental. Under the hot sun of the Egyptian desert, west of Aswan and near the Sahara, a team of archaeologists stopped for a short break. Absently kicking a stone that was sticking out of the ground, one of the team realised that it was in fact not a stone but the tip of a megalith that was sticking provocatively out of the ground, asking to be discovered. This led to the discovery of a complex of extremely ancient man-made megaliths the purpose of \u00a0which, until recently, could not be understood. \u00a0Dr Thomas G. Brophy, a world renowned astronomer, then \u00a0began his quest for the meaning of these megaliths and why they were pointing to the sky, what did they want to tell us from thousands of years ago? Brophy systematically measured and calculated various aspects of the mega stones and came to what is today a truly staggering conclusion:\u201d the makers of these megaliths knew aspects of the heavenly skies that we do not know even today. &#8220;The megalithic architecture at Nabta Playa is a unified and detailed astrophysical map of truly astonishing accuracy, with no less than staggering implication&#8221;\u00a0<\/p><div dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/div><div dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/div><div dir=\"ltr\">Dr Brophy has deciphered this through a painstaking, fascinating and logical progression of thought. He has realised that the &#8216;Ancients&#8217; &#8211; the people of thousands of years ago &#8211; the wise Seers and builders of these monuments, had knowledge of things some of which we do not have even today. As an Astronomer, using modern Planetary software which can accurately tell the position of various planets and stars at any time in the past, he was able to pinpoint which of the positions these megaliths were pointing to.\u00a0<\/div><p><b><br \/><\/b><\/p><div dir=\"ltr\">Brophy then used the same process to determine whether other ancient stone monuments in other parts of the world also provided clues to what our forefathers wanted us to know. The technique was used in Stonehenge in Gr. Britain, Angkor Wat in Thailand, monuments and temples in India. He came to a startling discovery &#8211; they all point to the same place!! But what do they point to? What did our forefathers want us to know, and why??<\/div><p><b><br \/><\/b><\/p><div dir=\"ltr\">They all point to the &#8216;Center of the Galaxy&#8217;, the Center of the Universe. Believe it or not, our Sun revolves this Center of the Galaxy while our earth is revolving around the Sun. Most of us do not know that the Sun even moves, but it indeed does. The Ancients knew that and, in fact knew the speed at which the movements took place, and the time it took for each revolution of each planet. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/div><p><b><br \/><\/b><\/p><div dir=\"ltr\">The ancient Vedic scriptures &#8211; the Vedas, and other ancient scriptures &#8211; praised the Galactic Center as the navel of Lord Vishnu. Lord Vishnu is considered the Creator of the Universe, and from Lord Vishnu&#8217;s navel springs Lord Brahma who &#8216;maintains&#8217; the Universe and this world. Although written for the common man to try to understand planetary importance \u00a0in mythological prose, these wise men knew the exact sequence and time of every move of the planets. various planets were personified as \u00a0Gods, as were Elements such as Fire, Earth, Wind, Rain etc. so that the common man could relate. \u00a0They also knew the exact speed of light ( see article by Subhash Kak in this Blog)\u00a0 \u00a0<\/div><p><b><br \/><\/b><\/p><div dir=\"ltr\">The Vedas were known to have existed as early as 1500 BC and some researchers believe they were known many thousands of years earlier than that. The ancient scriptures mention various facts that are mind-numbing in their \u00a0accuracy, but presented in the most innocent of ways that may not be understood. Subhash Kak, another renowned scientist, scholar \u00a0of Sanskrit and brilliant author, has transformed a very simple phrase in one of these ancient writings from 1000&#8217;s of years ago to show that it actually is the speed of light presented in a very subtle fashion. The statement is a hymn offering praise to the Sun and it says&#8221; oh , you who traverse the skies at 2002 yojanas in half a nimesha&#8221; . For centuries, nobody knew what this meant. A &#8216;nimesha&#8217; is a second of time, and a yojana is a measure of distance. Kak&#8217;s brilliant paper shows us that they knew the exact speed of light. But how ?? They had none of the computers and sophisticated instruments that we have today. Yet they knew the exact location of the various planets. their diameters, distance from each other, and the exact amount of time they would take to achieve their revolutions and rotations. They calculated the time it takes for the Earth to complete one full rotation ( a full day and night) as 23 hours&#8230;minutes &#8230;seconds, whereas today we believe the time to be &#8230;hours &#8230; minutes &#8230;. seconds ! They also knew the exact number of days it took for the Earth to complete its revolution around the Sun . Todays estimate is &#8230;..days &#8230;hours, and they calculated the time to be &#8230;.days&#8230;.hours. The Vedas project that here are these periodic cycles, Ages, or Yugas, which are caused by the position of the Earth&#8217;s axis relative to the Sun, and the closer earth is the warmer it gets, and vice versa. The Vedas warn us of periods of Ice Age and global warming, caused every 11,500 years and a mega-Age every 105,000 years. Great natural catastrophes are described, starting with the Great Flood 11,000 years ago when Manu, the first Man, was warned by a horned fish to head for the Himalayan Mountains and build a large Boat for himself and all other species. \u00a0We are told that the Earth revolves at times on a circular axis and other times on an elliptical axis (!!) and this is what causes the change in the warmth on the surface of the Earth depending on its closeness to the Sun. It is truly amazing that they knew all this 4000 years ago, maybe even earlier. They also told us ( and here is the part that now brings us back to Brophy and the Egyptian megalith) that the Sun revolves around the Galactic Center!<\/div><p><b><br \/><\/b><\/p><div dir=\"ltr\">What? The Sun moves? Most of us today do not know that the Sun moves around anything. We think it is stationery. The Ancients tell us in the Scriptures exactly how many years it takes for the Sun to traverse the center of the Galaxy and what we are experiencing on Earth while our planet is spinning not only on its own axis, but at the same time, keeping up its revolutions around the Sun. This led to their accurate calculations as to the position of the earth at any given time in relation to the &#8216;Mother Planet&#8217;.\u00a0<\/div><p><b><br \/><\/b><\/p><div dir=\"ltr\">Think of the various weather patterns we experience as we move away from the Sun and towards it, and the resultant changes in all living creatures on Earth. As the axis points away from the sun, whether it is at night or because it is Winter, we experience darkness, cold ad Winter. The earth&#8217;s axis pointing towards the Sun results in Summer, heat and light. More importantly, the presence of sunlight literally gives life to all living creatures. That&#8217;s how important it is to know about our position in reference to the Sun. Humans, plants, animals &#8211; we all change dramatically in our very existence in the presence or absence of sunlight. Similarly, we know the effect that other planets have on us. The Moon&#8217;s effect is well-known to most &#8211; it affects the tides of the Ocean, and women&#8217;s menstrual cycles, and is thought to affect the mental stability and mood of many an individual.\u00a0<\/div><p><b><br \/><\/b><\/p><div dir=\"ltr\">What if we were to now be<\/div><p><b><br \/><\/b><\/p><div dir=\"ltr\">Keep your mind open now &#8211; we use instruments to advise us from moment to moment where we are in relation to the axis of the Earth around itself by using clocks which tell us what time of day or night it is. We use other instruments to tell us the phases of the Moon \u00a0to tell us about high tide and low tide; We use another instrument &#8211; a calendar &#8211; to tell us how far we have progressed as we move around our Annual circle around the Sun. \u00a0But we know nothing \u00a0about where we are in relation to the Galactic Center as if this is not important. The Ancient wise men had many clocks, calendars and charts but they devoted their most effort into building these huge megaliths and monuments to tell us our exact position in relation to Vishnu-Nabhi. Why?\u00a0<\/div><p><b><br \/><\/b><\/p><div dir=\"ltr\">We must understand that the effect of the closeness to the &#8216;Mother Planet&#8217; on us Humans is as crucial as the effect of sunlight on living organisms on this earth. This is what our wise ancestors bequeathed us, and why all the megaliths point to where we should know our mother planet is.<\/div><p><b><br \/><\/b><\/p><div dir=\"ltr\">The Vedas were known to be written\u00a0at least 1500 BC, some researchers believe their age is many thousand years greater than 1500 BC. At that time, without the use of modern technology, how did they arrive at so many of the same conclusions as we have today, down to the exact second, minute or other unit of measurement? We are still trying to find out how they achieved many of the feats at that time, and cannot duplicate some of their accomplishments even today. They knew of the various planets, they knew the exact distance from the earth to the moon, the exact diameter of the earth, and its circumference, they knew the speed of light, and many other facts. \u00a0<\/div><p><b><br \/><\/b><\/p><div dir=\"ltr\">The wise men from that era said that their abilities stemmed from the closeness of the earth to the Galactic Center at that time, which allowed them to benefit from the strong influences directly from the mother planet. Whether one believes that or not, how does one explain their many feats, accomplishments and knowledge? How did they derive the speed of light, the diameter of the various planets, their distance from each other and the time for each \u00a0rotation and revolution &#8211; without supercomputers ? They said they meditated upon these questions and then calculated mentally. They said the answers to these questions, as well as answers to questions regarding spirituality, where Mankind and the Universe originated, what is our purpose in life, etc &#8211; was &#8216;given&#8217; to them from the Heavens above, especially when the earth is close to the galactic center. This seems implausible and impossible to say the least, and not something we would expect from such brilliant scientists of yore. Yet, when one examines the abilities of certain individuals in our own recent past who are able to predict the future, and can tell us about things that are unknown to the rest of us, one wonders about the interaction of the human mind and the outside world. To give only one example out of many, Edgar Cayce&#8217;s ability to predict the future, know the winners of horse races and winning lottery numbers is well-known and earned him the attention of US Presidents. So much so that the U.S. Government, at Taxpayers expense, mandated that a secretary\/transcriptionist remain with Mr Cayce at all times and transcribe everything she heard. The resulting volumes of books are available in the Edgar Cayce museum in Virginia. Among other unbelievable accomplishments of this person with a 5th grade education were that he was able to accurately \u00a0tell the US Government the exact longitude , latitude and depth to drill for oil in an area where the US Govt had given up. When asked where he got these answers, Edgar Cayce ( who only spoke english ) said that the information is there for anybody to obtain &#8211; they just had to get it from the &#8216;Akasha&#8217; ( Edgar did not know that the Sanskrit meaning of Akasha is &#8216;sky&#8217; or \u2018ether\u2019) Where in the Akasha is this information and can truly anybody get it? Nostradamus, Ramanamurthy &#8211; the famous mathematician, many so-called idiot savants,wise men, sages and rishis are able to come up with astounding facts, future predictions and mathematical calculations that even today&#8217;s supercomputers have not been able to duplicate. Is it that implausible and impossible that many thousands of years ago, mankind was able to mentally, physically and spiritually accomplish things we cannot even imagine today?\u00a0<\/div><p><b><br \/><\/b><\/p><div dir=\"ltr\">Dr Thomas G. Brophy confirms that the Vedas teach us that there are &#8216;cycles&#8217; that the earth goes through depending on our proximity to the mother planet. Each cycle in the Vedas is called a &#8216;Yuga&#8217; or Age. Satya-Yuga ( Age of Truth ) is when the Earth is closest to the energy-giving center.This age lasts for 1,728,000 years. During this time, humans have long lives, and their conduct is pure, spiritual, honest and truthful.Their superior abilities to comprehend, grasp, remember and deduce logically and philosophically are incomprehensible to us today.For example, it is said that a person would remember and memorise the entire Vedas after only one recitation- hence the Vedas were transmitted orally through the generations for years until the end of Satya Yuga. They also had great mystical and physical prowess.\u00a0<\/div><p><b><br \/><\/b><\/p><div dir=\"ltr\">When the Sun and the Earth moved a little further along the axis, all these abilities decreased, it was said, by 25%. That next age, that of Treta Yuga, lasts 1,296,000 years. The next Age is Dwapara Yuga which lasts 864,000 years, and finally kali Yuga which lasts 432,000 years. We are presently in Kali Yuga for the past 5000 years. Kali Yuga started, it is said, in 3102 BC at which time all the planets were in a straight line! The Vedas say that the MahaBharata War took place and Krishna ( Lord Vishnu&#8217;s Avatar who came to earth to prepare humans for the coming age of Kali) both were at the time of transition into Kali Yuga. Humans in Kali Yuga have 75% less mental, physical and spiritual prowess than their forefathers who lived in Satya Yuga, it is said. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/div><p><b><br \/><\/b><\/p><div dir=\"ltr\">Is it surprising then that every megalith in the world points to the Center of the Galaxy? Every day there is a period of time when we are in direct line of the sun and there is also a time when we are in direct line with the Center of the Galaxy. That time is said to be the time when our creative abilities, our artistic talents, our minds and our intellects are at their best. The Ancients used that time to make important decisions. \u00a0<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a9abbd9 de_scroll_animation_no
