"The 1461-Year Ancient Egyptian ‘PHOENIX’ Cycle"


The 1461-Year Ancient Egyptian ‘ PHOENIX ’ Cycle

 

From Wikipedia.com: The Sothic cycle or Canicular period is a period of 1461 ancient Egyptian years (of 365 days each) or 1460 Julian years (averaging 365.25 days each). During a Sothic cycle, the 365-day year loses enough time that the start of the year once again coincides with the heliacal rising of the star Sirius (called Sothis in Greek; a single year between heliacal risings of Sothis is a Sothic year). This rising occurred within a month or so of the beginning of the Nile flood, and was a matter of primary importance to this agricultural society. It is believed that Ancient Egyptians followed both a 365-day solar civil calendar and a lunar religious calendar.

 

A heliacal rise of Sirius was recorded by Censorinus as having happened on the Egyptian new year's day between 139 and 142 AD. Most sites, that I have found, give this date as: 21 July 139 AD. The next time this happened was in July of 1599. I can’t find the precise date, but I believe is was also on the 21st of July.

 

From Wikipedia.com: The phoenix is a mythical sacred firebird in ancient Egyptian mythology, and in myths derived from it. Said to live for 500 or 1461 years (depending on the source), the phoenix is a bird with beautiful gold and red plumage. At the end of its life-cycle the phoenix builds itself a nest of cinnamon twigs that it then ignites; both nest and bird burn fiercely and are reduced to ashes, from which a new, young phoenix arises. The new phoenix is destined to live, usually, as long as the old one

 

The three prime numbers that make up the horizontal bar of the ‘Prime Cross’ are: 113, 467 and 881. Their sum equals the Sothic cycle of 1461 Egyptian years. There are also 1461 days in four Gregorian years (one Presidential term). 881 is the 153rd prime number (including Unity). It is also the 43rd number within the ‘Prime Cube’. 43 + 153 + 881 equals 1077 which is the final gematria for ‘CROSS’. 1077 plus a second 881 equals 1958. In the attached chart I have circumscribed a square that has sides equal to 1599. The length of each side of an equilateral triangle/pyramid within this same circle is: 1958. The length of each 120-degree arc opposite each side of this triangle/pyramid is: 2368. This is the Greek gematria for ‘JESUS’ (888) + ‘CHRIST’ (1480). The length of each 90-degree arc opposite each side of the square is: 1776. 1776 equals: 2 x 888. The length of each 75-degree arc is: 1480.

 

The top horizontal side of the square in this chart separates the ‘CAPSTONE’ of the triangle/pyramid from its base. In the second diagram I have enlarged and circumscribed this ‘CAPSTONE’. I have also added a second inverted ‘CAPSTONE’ to create a ‘Star of David’ within this new circle. The length of each 60-degree arc between each point of the ‘Star of David’ is: 231. 1776 + 231 years equals 2007. Seven of these 60-degree arcs equals the sum of the ASCII codes for: ‘George Walker Bush’ (1617).

 

The altitude/height of the ‘CAPSTONE’ triangle is 331. This is the Hebrew gematria for the 12th and  last stone of the Breastplate. The sum of the three gematrias for the last row of the Breastplate is: 888 (162 + 395 + 331).

 

The two vertical sides of this triangle/pyramid closely resembe the compass in the Masonic symbol. Historically, a Freemason was a member of a medieval society composed of skilled stone workers.  The encircled ‘CAPSTONE’ may also represent the ‘ALL SEEING EYE’.
