Matty: Hello and welcome, my name is Matty and this is the next episode of Vocation. Once again, I'm very pleased to announce I'm joined by author, historian and rebel theologist, great Ralph Ellis. How are you doing this week, Ralph, just to start us off? Yeah, good, good.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: Thank Very well, thank you. My cold and cough has last ended, so hopefully my voice is a little bit better this week. So let's see how that goes. But good to be back with you.
Matty: Hello, if you've been enjoying this content once again, would really appreciate it if you would consider subscribing and liking the video as well too. It will really help me keep this journey going. Thank you again for your time. I'm back to the show. Yeah, fantastic. Good, good. I know it's great to have you again. so today we're going to be trying to unravel some of the mysteries of the pyramids, I believe. And so maybe just to start us off, can you speak us a little bit about, you know, what initially got you started into researching the pyramids? What caught your eye with it? maybe we'll just take it from there.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: So this is an example of. So this is an example of. why we know that there is information, secret information encoded within these megaliths and this is a classic example that they're using mathematics quite often because mathematics is the ⁓ language of the universe. Languages change but mathematics will remain the same across the whole of the universe so if you want to leave a message across time, across space, the best way is mathematics and ⁓ why we know that there is information, secret information encoded within these megaliths and this is a classic example that they're using mathematics quite often because mathematics is the ⁓ language of the universe. Languages change but mathematics will remain the same across the whole of the universe so if you want to leave a message across time, across space, the best way is mathematics and ⁓ ⁓ Yes, this back in the 90s, it was a big thing back in the 90s and I suppose it was people like Graham Hancock, Fingerprints of the Gods, think set the pace ⁓ that there were mysteries to be found. I suppose even before him there was Von Daniken who I'd read when I was young. So these mysteries were well known about. We can see this with Avebury because if you want to know where Avebury is on a map, all you have to do is get your little calculator and do 360 divided by seven and that will give you 51 degrees, 25 minutes, 43 seconds.

There was actually a conspiracy, you might say, by Robert Boval to drop a cap on the top of the Great Pyramid by helicopter at the Millennium. of latitude and that, I don't know if you can see it in there, is the exact latitude of Avebury to, I don't know, approximately the nearest five meters or so. So, Avebury is sitting on one seventh of the circumference of the earth. ⁓ Exactly. You have to ask yourself, is that of latitude and that, I don't know if you can see it in there, is the exact latitude of Avebury to, I don't know, approximately the nearest five meters or so. So, Avebury is sitting on one seventh of the circumference of the earth. ⁓ Exactly. You have to ask yourself, is that ⁓ but then Zahi Hawass got wind of it and its sort of pseudo Masonic connotations as in the dollar bill you know in America ⁓ and he banned it so yes so that came to a halt but anyway before that happened back in 96 I think it was ⁓ I wrote this book on the pyramids which is very different so this is all novel
Matty: Yep, yep. Wow, yeah. Wow, yeah.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: coincidence or is that being done by design? I think that's possibly, in fact quite probably done by design because the number seven, we will come across the number seven quite a lot in this talk, it's a pi number. So it's a mathematical number in itself. coincidence or is that being done by design?

So it's a mathematical number in itself. ⁓ information. ⁓ And I'm just going to do a screen share of this.
Matty: Yeah, super.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: So you won't find this in any other book. Let's just increase the size of that a wee bit. ⁓ And I think they were just using little codes like this to draw you in. ⁓ Once you know there is ⁓ some sort of mathematical symmetry or Because I came across information, as I always do, I look very laterally at these problems very logically, and I saw things that other people had not seen. And so I decided to write a book about it, which is this one, Thoth Architect of the Universe, ⁓ which I think shows a much better, more reasonable rationale for why these people were building these. information in these megaliths, then you're going to start searching for more and seeing what you can find. And I think that was the intent here, that anyone with a mathematical brain will then start looking at these monuments in a different fashion. We're going to look at them as repositories of mathematics and cartography. So what is megalithic projects all around the world, not just the pyramids, of course, but obviously, he's a stonehenge, and a lot of the other ones that seem to have similarities. So what were they doing? Why were they building these enormous temples with megalithic architecture, big stone architecture that is designed to last for thousands of years?
Matty: Yeah.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: Avebury. So let's look at it just sitting there. It's a very large circle, ⁓ it's got an equator, it's got an axis and you can see it's marked by these four gates and these four gates are original and it's got the two rings inside which we saw before. You can see actually in the modern version most of those stones have gone now so you can't see them but anyway Basically they are writing into ⁓ the environment, into the geology. They are writing this. the impressions are still left in the ground. So we know they were there. And this circle is inclined to the due north by about 22 degrees. So what is a big circle with an equator and an axis inclined at 22 degrees? Well, this is where the little child will understand ⁓ these ideas for the future. It's like someone scrolling something on a wall saying I was here. This is saying I was here in megalithic architecture, but not only I was here, but giving you information about what they knew, about what they ⁓ wanted to preserve in terms of knowledge. And Josephus Flavius says this, you know, this comes again matches with my
Matty: Do we live in one?
Prelate Ralph Ellis: more than the adult because yes. theological work, Josephus Flavius says that at the beginning of time, two pyramids, no, he actually says pillars, but the pillar and pyramid can be confused in Aramaic, ⁓ it's Matzibah. Two pillars were created, one of brick and one of stone. One of ⁓ brick in case there is a fire.
Matty: Here we go.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: It's the Earth. So this is what I think they were drawing on the plains of Wiltshire. They were actually drawing an image of the earth. Now think about that for a minute because this is supposed to be Neolithic. I think possibly it's even earlier than Neolithic myself, but there we go. We will look at that later in this talk. ⁓ But this means that they understood the form and shape of the earth. That the earth is a sphere ⁓ with an axis that is inclined
Matty: That's crazy. Yeah.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: because it can withstand fire. And the one of stone in cases there is a flood and the stone can withstand a flood. And inscribed on these pillars come pyramids were the information of the ages. about 22.5 degrees from, as it were, the true north. So if we look at the angle of obliquity on this earth, it's not actually 22.5 at present, it's 23.4. The range is 22.1 degrees up to 24.4 degrees. That's the range of the tilt angle of the earth, it changes. So they are like a library, like the knowledge of the universe of as man understands it inscribed onto these pyramids. That's what he says. Don't know where he got that from, but I think he is correct because all of these.
Matty: Yeah.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: as we'll see in a minute, over a 40,000 year cycle. Now that's interesting. That's not our current angle of obliquity, but that might give us a date, of course. So this is doubly interesting because the change in the angle of obliquity of the Earth is well understood. So we'll look at that in a minute. But what about these? megaliths are inscribed with secret information, if you can understand what they're saying. And most of it is pictorial. So I've actually done this, I've actually shown this to children, and children will see it before adults.
Matty: you Exactly. Hmm. interesting.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: because children have an open mind. Adults are set in their ways, they've been schooled, they've been educated, they have certain things that they understand and believe, and it's very difficult for an adult to actually see these images and what they mean. So this book was then updated with K2 Quest of the Gods. This is very esoteric, this one.
Matty: Mm.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: extra circles, they're obviously important. They're big stones. They're part of the original circle. What were they indicating? Well, as we saw ⁓ in that original image by Aubrey, the 18th century one, have, sorry about this being a little bit rudimentary, this diagram, but anyway, it gives you an idea. ⁓ We have I tend to keep these separate. I don't talk about these very much. I've only done this talk a couple of times ⁓ because this is tinfoil hat territory. ⁓ And it sort of detracts from the more serious work I do ⁓ with the Gospels and the Old Testament. But nevertheless, this is just facts. 26 stones in the top one, 29 stones in the bottom one. And we have these shapes inside them. Well, as it happens, 26, if you multiply by two is 52.
Matty: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: And perhaps, just perhaps, that is a latitude marker. So what at 52 degrees is a sort of cove shape pointing out towards the northeast? Well, I think that is quite possibly. You can interpret those facts any way you like. But what I'm doing with this is I'm showing people what the facts may well be. And then you can understand that in any way you really like. ⁓ But I explain exactly what these, they're all megalithic maps. I call it this the megalithic map series. Stonehenge. The Stonehenge sits on the 52 parallel north. So you've got this circle, which is a latitude marker. It's 26 stones, 26 times two is 52. 52 is the latitude of Stonehenge. And Stonehenge is a cove shape pointing out towards the northeast. That is the central element. because they were drawing maps, maps of the cosmos, maps of the earth, ⁓ maps of the continents ⁓ in megalithic architecture. But you would never see that if you just look at the pyramids, the megaliths, you will never see it. Well, you should see it, but most people don't. ⁓ Because as I say, they're programmed not to see it. And the other reason you won't see it is because I was banned. Stonehenge as well. We'll see an image of Stonehenge later, but Stonehenge points at the midsummer rising sun with this horseshoe shape. Maybe that's a better terminology for it. This horseshoe shape pointing out towards the rising sun in midsummer. So just possibly I was banned by Robert Boval who said, ⁓ will never make another film ever again and he will delete me from. ⁓ the film and video world but also from the literary world as well. He was going to ban all of my books. So yes, I was blackballed. I was not allowed to be on any show for 20 years. ⁓ And we can talk about this later actually because it's an interesting story. Maybe when we get to the end of this little talk, can talk about this. ⁓ I've only done one video on this, which is this video. This circle at the top is a latitude marker pointing at an artifact on the real Earth. which is sitting on the 52 parallel norm. But if that's the case, what is this southern circle? And if you remember, it's got that C shape in it.
Matty: crazy.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: a reversed C shape. And for a long time I sat there, I mean this sat there for months without me being able to decide what nerve this was because we're constrained by our understanding again. So I was looking at maybe something in Karnak maybe, you in France, you know, the Low Stonehenge, ⁓ trying to look for monuments that had a C shape to them. The Black Falling of Ralph Ellis by Robert Boval and Random House who happened to be the largest publisher in the world. They banned me from publishing, which is why I had to do self-publishing. So I got round their little ban by doing it myself. ⁓ So what are we going to talk about? We're going to talk about megalithic maps. We're going to talk about
Matty: Wow.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: nothing fitted and this carried on and on and nothing fitted and then I thought hold on a minute if this is an earth image this C shape is sitting in the southern hemisphere
Matty: Yeah, fascinating.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: Don Hensh and Avebury. I prefer Avebury, this is Avebury. ⁓ This is a lithograph from the, probably the 18th century. ⁓ How they envisaged, it was never like this, although there were more stones actually ⁓ standing in the 18th century, it was never quite like this in recorded history. This is how they imagined it should be. Now you wouldn't think of that because now you're going to have to say that, OK, Neolithic man has got into a ship and disappeared down to South Africa or something, you know, off the edge of the known world. from Stonehenge, which is here running all the way down into the South Atlantic. And you think, well, that's barmy. That can't be right. So I'm going to I won't think in those terms. But then I had a look.
Matty: Yeah.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: And it's a fairly good image actually. You will see the large ring. ⁓ And inside there we have two smaller rings which are clearly shown here. They knew that they had these, if you go there today, most of these inner rings have all disappeared. And inside the top ring here we have what they know as the cove, which is a, not a C shape, ⁓ a sort of, And what I found rather astounded me because what I found was this, which I don't know, you might call it the phallus of the South, maybe. ⁓ I don't know if people can instantly see what this is, but this is Argentina up the top here. This is
Matty: Right, right. You're christening that there.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: like a cave almost, that sort of shape of stones pointing out towards the northeast. A horseshoe you might say, something of that nature. And in the bottom ring we have this D shape except the upright of the D is stones laying on the ground whereas the other stones are standing so we end up actually with a crescent shape.
Matty: Yes. Yeah.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: ⁓ Antarctica, the peninsula of Antarctica and between the two of them this tectonic plate has thrust its way through, broken the link between Antarctica and South America and forced its way all the way through over here and what it forms at the end is a chain of islands in a C shape
Matty: Yeah. Let's see shit.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: So that's the image of Stonehenge as it used to be back in the 18th century. I think this was Aubrey. ⁓ He was one of the grand old
Matty: This is Freaky Ralph.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: in a C shape and of course what we were looking for is a C shape but more than that we were looking at a C shape surrounded by 29 stones.
Matty: Yeah.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: historians and went around all of the megaliths and so on trying to chart them, trying to measure them, trying to make images and maps of them. This is what it sort of looks like today. This is an aerial shot ⁓ which I took actually. I was flying an aircraft over here and I snapped a view of it and very nicely this comes out because the sun was low in the horizon and it 29 stones times two, remember, same as we did before, is 58. So we're looking for a C shape on 58 degrees south. And as it happens, if we look at that chain of islands, the 58 parallel south goes right through the center of that C shape. ⁓ the shadows actually pick it out very nicely. So it's large, we're talking 400 meters across, it's a very large, it's the largest henge I think in the world, I think. And we've got a bank and a ditch and then a plain in the center. Now that tells us immediately that this is not defensive. If it was defensive, it would be ditch and bank, but it's not.
Matty: This is unbelievable.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: This is the South Sandwich Islands. This is Montague, I think, island, this one. ⁓ Totally uninhabited, of course. Nobody goes there because there's not much there to go to, really. Just some volcanic islands, few birds. ⁓ Maybe in the future, might get some cruise ships going down there to have a look and investigate. You never know. ⁓
Matty: Hmm. Apparently the builders of Avery was for their summer holidays were hitting off down south of Argentina. Yes.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: it's bank and ditch. So this is not defensive, if anything, that sort of implies that maybe it's like a theater or something of this nature, know, people sitting around the outside watching inside. And immediately we see that there is something mathematical and cartographical about these megaliths. They were
Matty: That's nuts.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: So yes, this lies, this wonderful chain of islands lie on the 58 parallel south, which is exactly what Avebury tells us it should do.
Matty: I knew this was going to be a good talk Ralph, but this is going to be ridiculous. This is unbelievable. Yeah.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: ⁓ But you see why ⁓ people say that I've got my tinfoil hat on because we're talking about preserving knowledge. This was what Josephus Flavius was saying about the knowledge of mankind being engraved on these pyramids or hinges maybe. ⁓ what is the, ⁓ no let's have a look at the next one first. It's just one of the stones.
Matty: Yeah, like to. Yeah, that should be impossible, of course, with our current understanding of what history was. But like we're wrong with this sort of arrogant thought that we know everything now. And ancient man was just some sort of fool with stone with stones to play with, you know. I am sorry. Go on, Ralph. This is crazy.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: ⁓ So this is the size of the stones that they were using. This is in the perimeter ring. So these are quite, they're not trimmed like they are in Stonehenge. So they're quite in the rough, but nevertheless, these are fairly large stones, which they've put up in the outer ring. ⁓ And the inner rings, I think, were about the same sort of size. They were quite large too. So there was a lot of effort gone into this. Yeah, that's exactly the point I was going to make, is that this is impossible. ⁓ Yes, you've got Stone Age man here, he's not only in a ship disappearing off down into the South Atlantic, but he has a sextant with him in order to calculate the latitude of this island in the middle of nowhere that they found. And they've mapped so they know it's a sea shape. ⁓
Matty: You Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: and they're going to go back to Avebury and draw it on the plains of Avebury? For what reason? Why would you want to go to all of that bother? Well, the reason is... to make this. I think there was 110 stones in the outer ring, something of that nature. Don't quote me on that. And then there's 26 and 28 stones in the little circles inside. So this was a magnificent achievement for the era, whenever that era was. ⁓ And here is a Google map view.
Matty: Yeah, that's crazy isn't it? Yeah. Yeah.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: Kilroy was here. I don't know if that makes sense to the modern generation, but there used to be a trend many, many eons ago when I were a lad, ⁓ people would go around drawing on walls saying Kilroy was here and their little face. Just to say you have been there. And so you ended up with Kilroy everywhere in the world. Well, this is a
Matty: Yeah, yeah.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: ⁓ And again you see the large ring around the outside and in the center there is the most important thing in the whole of the Henge which is the ⁓ Red Lion Pub right in the center. So quite obviously the the pub was there first and that's why they built the Henge around it because it's always the most important part.
Matty: Yes. Right, yeah. Yes. Why kill Roy? Who was killed Roy, sorry? ⁓ it was, yeah, yeah, I I see, yeah.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: Yeah, I don't know actually who Kilroy was. Lost to the winds of time, I don't know. Possibly if you look it up, yeah, you'll probably find Chagy GDB or Grok will know exactly who Kilroy was. ⁓ But this is the same. This is a signature left not in the sands, but in the megalithic architecture of
Matty: Yes. No doubt. He's one of Yeah.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: of the world to say This is what we knew, this is what we understood. We knew that the earth is a sphere, it's angled at 22 and a half degrees when we built it, it was angled at 22 and a half degrees, angle of big liquidity. We knew the form and shape of the earth, we knew where Stonehenge was and we can mark that on this map. We knew where the South Sandwich Islands were. and we can mark those on this map as well because this tells you that we were technical, not just civilized, we were technical, we understood all of this and we could measure it. We could go there and measure it somehow in a boat, in a something, a flying saucer.
Matty: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, flan saucer.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: Who knows? ⁓ But somehow we knew the form and shape of the earth and we could measure it, map it and draw that map on the plains of Wilshire so that you in later years, in later millennia could come along, measure it, understand it and say, yeah, these guys knew a great deal.
Matty: Yeah, yeah.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: Interesting isn't it? And that's that's just Avebury. Wait till we come up to the pyramids.
Matty: Yeah. It's unbelievable. I can hardly hold on to a seat here. Yeah. Just a quick wee question about it. Do know if they've done any sort of radar scanning? Is there stuff that's been, you has the great flood sort of risen the tide and we've lost it under the water? Or do you know if there's been any sort of exploration around there?
Prelate Ralph Ellis: no, but that's the whole point of it, isn't it? If you're going to do something like this, it has to be in somewhere remote, where it will not be found by someone, as I say about Giza, by someone digging a latrine and finding something. That just... ⁓
Matty: mystery. Yeah.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: That negates the whole point of the quest. This is a quest. You've got to go on the quest and a quest has to go to somewhere that is remote, that has never been touched, that is uninhabited. Otherwise there is no quest. So, you know, having talked about Arthurian legend and all of these knights on this quest, this is what it's all about. You could say this is the Holy Grail of cartography. of megalithic architecture. And therefore it has to be a remote place. And where is more remote? Let's go back to this image. Where is more remote than the South Sandwich Islands? I would estimate you can count the number of people who have been to the South Sandwich Islands on one hand.
Matty: Yeah, Yeah, it's crazy. Yeah, yeah.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: literally because these are rocky outposts they're not even very easy to land your ship on even if you go there ⁓ it's not as if you're to have vast beaches that you can rock up to in a boat ⁓ I would imagine less than five people have been onto these islands ⁓ yeah if you're talking remote this is remote ⁓
Matty: Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, This is where Kilroy really was. Yeah, yeah. Very good.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: He came from the South Atlantic. And then we go on to Dear Old Stonehenge because.
Matty: One quick wee question. You mentioned hinge again. What does hinge actually mean? What does that word actually mean? Hinge means ditch, right.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: Henge is the ditch. So ⁓ we're not talking about the stones, we're talking about the ditch. ⁓ And that is classically what a henge is, it's a bank and ditch. And often we get stones inside it. ⁓ But really it refers to the ditch. And so we have stone henge and you might say, that's not a henge. It is a henge.
Matty: It's... I see, I see. Thanks. Yeah. I see. You
Prelate Ralph Ellis: And this is the whole point of Stonehenge, because the stones are irrelevant.
Matty: Mm, right.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: So everyone's sitting there and looking at the stones. The stones are completely irrelevant. Don't look at the stones. ⁓ So who made Stonehenge?
Matty: I see.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: Well, if you read our theory and legend, was Merlin.
Matty: The Giants? Wow, okay.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: This is Merlin's dance, ⁓ something cowry in Welsh. ⁓ The giant's dance anyway, they said, and they said it was made by Merlin. And you can see here, here's Merlin raising the stones on top of Stonehenge. This comes from an old manuscript of Arthurian legend, course. So there's another crossover with what I've been doing.
Matty: Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: Although I was going to say before, this book came first. This book was out in 97. So this was the first book I wrote. ⁓ My Arthurian work came much later. So this is Stonehenge from above. And again, this is just a glistening bauble. The stones are irrelevant. Don't look at the stones. You can see how they're making this quest. The quest is, you understand the quest? And everyone's sitting there looking at the stones going, ⁓ what do they mean? What do mean? They mean nothing. And here's the stones again ⁓ in plan view. But what we want to look at is the hen.
Matty: Yeah. Mm. I see.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: and there is a hinge at Stonehenge. So here it is, and you can see that Ditchin Bank goes all the way around the outside. And you can't see it very well here, but there is a small circle here. So there's a small hinge on the southern side, and there is a small hinge on the top side. And they are actually the layout. of the entire Henge. So if we look at it in plan view. These are known as the station stones. So before they made stonehenge, they put these four stones in, one, two, three, four. And from that, architecturally, you can lay out the rest of the hinge, because the whole hinge is based on these four stones. And these four stones, and we'll see this again in animation, but if you measure these in megalithic yards, they form a Pythagorean triangle. Mathematics again, look, there is a Pythagorean triangle. Come within and see what you can see. It's an open invitation, isn't it, to anyone with a mathematical or cartographical bent to come and have a look. So this is in megalithic yards, it's 1496, 104, which boils down to 5, 12, 13. It's a 5, 12, 13. Pythagorean triangle. So we already know that these guys were pretty advanced to know the Pythagorean theorem ⁓ based on Euclid's, isn't it? Euclid's 47th. We'll see that in a minute anyway, something like that. Anyway, around two of these station stones, you'll see these small hinges. One at the top, one at the bottom. they are the most important bit in Stonehenge, not the stones. And you can't see them very well in most pictures, so this is a infrared, hence the color, ⁓ infrared image and again you can see now the station stones as one here we've got the circle here circle down the bottom and this is the other station stone from which they laid out the orientation of the hinge. This yellow line I've drawn through that just shows the axis ⁓ of the hinge obviously perpendicular to the causeway which goes out towards the northeast, towards the rising sun. ⁓ And then these little circles are offset from that. So what do these little circles mean? Here's another image which might give people the clue. Here we go. Yeah, we're...
Matty: Yeah, yeah.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: We might be talking about the earth again. ⁓ Because.
Matty: Mm-hmm.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: These little circles, this is the axis as it were through here. These little circles are displaced by 22 and a half degrees. Remember that? 22 and a half degrees we had with Avebury was the leaning angle of Avebury. So we've already ended up with the same angle of obliquity as Avebury indicating they were built at the same time. Avebury and Stonehenge were obviously built at the same time.
Matty: Yes.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: and I was going to show you procession, but for some reason this new version of Apple on my new computer refuses to do it. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to stop share and jump out. And I'm going to jump back in again.
Matty: Just while we're waiting for that to come up. Could you explain a little bit about what a megalithic yard is? What exactly is a megalithic yard?
Prelate Ralph Ellis: with. ⁓ yes, good point. A megalithic yard. just sharing was something made by Alexander Thomm. So we're as ever you know we're all standing on the shoulders of giants and Thomm went around in the early 20th century measuring all of the megaliths of Britain trying to find the metrology they were using because they must have had or he thought they must have had some sort of standardization to make all of these great monuments. And he, from all of his measurements of these monuments came up with the megalithic yard. And if I remember correctly, it's about 83 centimeters, something of that nature. And he found a commonality throughout all of these megalithic monuments that they were using this megalithic yard. the builders of these many hinges all over Britain
Matty: I see.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: had standardization, they were using the same metrological system. ⁓ And from that, of course, with Stonehenge, as we've just seen, ⁓ they were using the megalithic yard to lay out Stonehenge. This is just a show procession. Now most people will know about this, ⁓ but ⁓ don't know. It's worth going through because ⁓ don't always understand that this applies to earth as well. So this is procession. This is a standard gyroscope and if you put a gyroscope down somewhere it will process. ⁓ That's just what gyroscopes do and the Earth does exactly the same. So this is the Earth with the axis of the Earth pointing out towards Polaris of course, that's where the axis points at present, but it moves and it draws this big yellow circle in the heavens above and that is the ecliptic circle and that circle takes 26 000 years roughly to draw so it's a very slow deliberate circle and we've seen this before in the Arthurian work and ⁓ yes in the Hamat Tvera zodiac we looked at on the shores of the Sea of Galilee they're all processional so they did understand this precession of the equinox. So that is precession. So I'm going to jump back out of that jump back into screen share for the other screen Okay, so we come back. two ⁓ standard images and we can see those yellow circles on the image of Stonehenge. So here's what we saw in that animation. Here's the earth pointing out towards the ecliptic circle and drawing that big yellow circle in the heavens above. and that's what I think they were drawing on Stonehenge and so here are the big yellow circles so if you look up at the night sky you see this big yellow circle in the heavens above and that's what they were drawing on the plains of Wiltshire so if you imagine Stonehenge is the earth So you replace the earth with Stonehenge. I'll animate that later as we go into this talk. And above the earth, this is the axis of Stonehenge, is the yellow circle. It's the processional circle. That is what I think they were drawing in the Stonehenge Henge. And of course, we've already seen that the angle of this circle is 22 and 1 degrees. It's the same as they were using. at Avbrim. So let's have a look at that with a little diagram. Here we go. This is Stonehenge with I've replaced the stones with an earth. And here's the real earth, what you would see as the real earth on a planar sphere, if you're looking on a planar sphere. And you will have this circle above the earth, that yellow circle that it draws, the ecliptic circle at 22 and a half degrees. Well, it was in those days. And that's what we see at Stonehenge. So here's the circle, the yellow circle. at 22 and a half degrees. And we know it's at 22 and a half degrees because, and again, this is mathematical, they're trying to help us out, you know, we've got this quest and the guy is definitely wanting us to succeed in this quest. So there's little clues left everywhere, know, trails of breadcrumbs everywhere. Here's the hinge and inside the hinge, we have all of these holes, known as the Aubrey holes. and there's 56 of them you can see on the right hand side here I've written it out. 56 Aubrey holes so 360 degrees divided by 56 is 6.43 degrees each and you might think well that's a nonsensical number that won't help us but if you count them there's one two three and a half holes from the axis to the center of that yellow circle. And so 3.5 times 6.43 equals 22 and a half. So it's telling us that the angle of obliquity is 22 and a half degrees. It's not now, of course, it's 23.4, but as we've seen, it does wobble.
Matty: Yeah.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: over a 40,000 year cycle. So obliquity, yes, it was a 22 and a half degree obliquity. ⁓ And that gives us, this is the advantage again, we'll have a look. ⁓ no, I've got another diagram. So let's have a look at the diagram. Here we go. ⁓ The blue line is the obliquity. ⁓ And you can see it's got this sinusoidal. ⁓ pattern and ⁓ lascar professor lascar has calculated obliquity back into the past just a little bit into the past you know by 26 million years so it's quite stable i mean they're fairly in the astronomical world they're fairly certain about this cycle
Matty: Yeah.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: and so we can cut his modern obliquity here at 23.4, that's what we have now, that's not what they had a Dave Greenstein Henge, but we can trace this pattern back where it cuts 22.5 degrees and it cuts 22.5 degrees at, if we look in the top right corner, 24,000 years ago, 33.5 half thousand years ago and 66,000 years ago. So every time it cuts this blue line, that's when it was at 22 and a half degrees. So that's your choices. If Avebury and Stonehenge were built when obliquity was 22 and a half degrees, those are your choices. So not 4,000 years ago, as they keep saying. for the Neolithic era. You're talking about 24,000 years, 33,000 years, 66,000 years ago. Those are your choices. And of course you can carry on back even further if you want. If you want to go back hundreds of thousands of years, you could do that as well. Depends how long you think that something like Stonehenge and Avebury can last before it disintegrates.
Matty: Mm-hmm. Yeah, yeah.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: Now those stones, those sarsen stones, they'll last forever. ⁓ I'm sure a sarsen stone will last for 100,000 years quite easily. The ditch and henges, less so. But if mankind is digging out the ditches and relaying them, then they could last as long as you want, Which is why I think we should do that again now. We should actually dig out the ditch. at Avebury and make it back to, because it was really impressive. It was twice as deep as it is now. I mean, you go to it now and you think, wow, that's impressive. No, it was twice as deep as that. I suppose they'll say in the modern world that it's a health and safety issue. You can't have a ditch that big.
Matty: Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, what if you stumble out of that pub and you can't get out of it and you hit the ditch and...
Prelate Ralph Ellis: You have to put up huge great fences all the way down the side of it but I think they should dig it out and make it back to how it was originally. Same at Stonehenge, they should dig out that ditch as well and make it back to how it was. I'm a great believer in reassembling these ancient monuments. I think they should put all the stones back up again at
Matty: Of course, you know, this has been passed down to us. What a shame it is that we've lost sight of it and then don't even care Do you know why?
Prelate Ralph Ellis: Stonehenge and people will look at me and say I'm a heathen. No, I think we should see them as they were, especially as those stones are just sitting there. I mean, they've got the big Trilithan stone, which has fallen down and that was fairly recently. I think that was only a few hundred years ago has fallen down and it's sitting on the ground, of course. ⁓ That would be a wonderful opportunity to see what has not been disturbed.
Matty: Absolutely. Yeah.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: for 300 years or so since it fell over. You could actually put it back up again and then do some investigation underneath where that stone has been lying. ⁓ Yeah, I'm a great fan for doing that. I mean, if you go down to Knossos ⁓ on Cyprus, and not on Cyprus, it's on Crete, isn't it? It's on Crete. ⁓ And you walk around there and everyone says, ⁓ that's really good,
Matty: Yeah. Who's buried under it? Yeah.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: You can really see how these people were living back in those times, in the Minoan times. Most of that is a reconstruction. When Arthur Evans went out there, all of the pillars and so on you see, most of that is actually a modern reconstruction. But it does tell you more about that site than if it was just a few walls, less than a meter high or something. I think it makes it much better, but there we go.
Matty: I see, I see.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: I'm a heretic, what do I know?
Prelate Ralph Ellis: Thank Very well, thank you. My cold and cough has last ended, so hopefully my voice is a little bit better this week. So let's see how that goes. But good to be back with you.
Matty: Hello, if you've been enjoying this content once again, would really appreciate it if you would consider subscribing and liking the video as well too. It will really help me keep this journey going. Thank you again for your time. I'm back to the show. Yeah, fantastic. Good, good. I know it's great to have you again. so today we're going to be trying to unravel some of the mysteries of the pyramids, I believe. And so maybe just to start us off, can you speak us a little bit about, you know, what initially got you started into researching the pyramids? What caught your eye with it? maybe we'll just take it from there.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: So this is an example of. So this is an example of. why we know that there is information, secret information encoded within these megaliths and this is a classic example that they're using mathematics quite often because mathematics is the ⁓ language of the universe. Languages change but mathematics will remain the same across the whole of the universe so if you want to leave a message across time, across space, the best way is mathematics and ⁓ why we know that there is information, secret information encoded within these megaliths and this is a classic example that they're using mathematics quite often because mathematics is the ⁓ language of the universe. Languages change but mathematics will remain the same across the whole of the universe so if you want to leave a message across time, across space, the best way is mathematics and ⁓ ⁓ Yes, this back in the 90s, it was a big thing back in the 90s and I suppose it was people like Graham Hancock, Fingerprints of the Gods, think set the pace ⁓ that there were mysteries to be found. I suppose even before him there was Von Daniken who I'd read when I was young. So these mysteries were well known about. We can see this with Avebury because if you want to know where Avebury is on a map, all you have to do is get your little calculator and do 360 divided by seven and that will give you 51 degrees, 25 minutes, 43 seconds. We can see this with Avebury because if you want to know where Avebury is on a map, all you have to do is get your little calculator and do 360 divided by seven and that will give you 51 degrees, 25 minutes, 43 seconds. in the 90s and it became a bit of a fever pitch in the 90s as well. was lots of people saying that at the Millennium strange things will happen, know, spacecraft will land on the pyramids or something, all sorts of weird things were going. There was actually a conspiracy, you might say, by Robert Boval to drop a cap on the top of the Great Pyramid by helicopter at the Millennium. of latitude and that, I don't know if you can see it in there, is the exact latitude of Avebury to, I don't know, approximately the nearest five meters or so. So, Avebury is sitting on one seventh of the circumference of the earth. ⁓ Exactly. You have to ask yourself, is that of latitude and that, I don't know if you can see it in there, is the exact latitude of Avebury to, I don't know, approximately the nearest five meters or so. So, Avebury is sitting on one seventh of the circumference of the earth. ⁓ Exactly. You have to ask yourself, is that ⁓ but then Zahi Hawass got wind of it and its sort of pseudo Masonic connotations as in the dollar bill you know in America ⁓ and he banned it so yes so that came to a halt but anyway before that happened back in 96 I think it was ⁓ I wrote this book on the pyramids which is very different so this is all novel
Matty: Yep, yep. Wow, yeah. Wow, yeah.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: coincidence or is that being done by design? I think that's possibly, in fact quite probably done by design because the number seven, we will come across the number seven quite a lot in this talk, it's a pi number. So it's a mathematical number in itself. coincidence or is that being done by design? I think that's possibly, in fact quite probably done by design because the number seven, we will come across the number seven quite a lot in this talk, it's a pi number. So it's a mathematical number in itself. ⁓ information. ⁓ And I'm just going to do a screen share of this.
Matty: Yeah, super.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: So you won't find this in any other book. Let's just increase the size of that a wee bit. ⁓ And I think they were just using little codes like this to draw you in. ⁓ Once you know there is ⁓ some sort of mathematical symmetry or Because I came across information, as I always do, I look very laterally at these problems very logically, and I saw things that other people had not seen. And so I decided to write a book about it, which is this one, Thoth Architect of the Universe, ⁓ which I think shows a much better, more reasonable rationale for why these people were building these. information in these megaliths, then you're going to start searching for more and seeing what you can find. And I think that was the intent here, that anyone with a mathematical brain will then start looking at these monuments in a different fashion. We're going to look at them as repositories of mathematics and cartography. So what is megalithic projects all around the world, not just the pyramids, of course, but obviously, he's a stonehenge, and a lot of the other ones that seem to have similarities. So what were they doing? Why were they building these enormous temples with megalithic architecture, big stone architecture that is designed to last for thousands of years?
Matty: Yeah.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: Avebury. So let's look at it just sitting there. It's a very large circle, ⁓ it's got an equator, it's got an axis and you can see it's marked by these four gates and these four gates are original and it's got the two rings inside which we saw before. You can see actually in the modern version most of those stones have gone now so you can't see them but anyway Basically they are writing into ⁓ the environment, into the geology. They are writing this. the impressions are still left in the ground. So we know they were there. And this circle is inclined to the due north by about 22 degrees. So what is a big circle with an equator and an axis inclined at 22 degrees? Well, this is where the little child will understand ⁓ these ideas for the future. It's like someone scrolling something on a wall saying I was here. This is saying I was here in megalithic architecture, but not only I was here, but giving you information about what they knew, about what they ⁓ wanted to preserve in terms of knowledge. And Josephus Flavius says this, you know, this comes again matches with my
Matty: Do we live in one?
Prelate Ralph Ellis: more than the adult because yes. theological work, Josephus Flavius says that at the beginning of time, two pyramids, no, he actually says pillars, but the pillar and pyramid can be confused in Aramaic, ⁓ it's Matzibah. Two pillars were created, one of brick and one of stone. One of ⁓ brick in case there is a fire.
Matty: Here we go.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: It's the Earth. So this is what I think they were drawing on the plains of Wiltshire. They were actually drawing an image of the earth. Now think about that for a minute because this is supposed to be Neolithic. I think possibly it's even earlier than Neolithic myself, but there we go. We will look at that later in this talk. ⁓ But this means that they understood the form and shape of the earth. That the earth is a sphere ⁓ with an axis that is inclined
Matty: That's crazy. Yeah.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: because it can withstand fire. And the one of stone in cases there is a flood and the stone can withstand a flood. And inscribed on these pillars come pyramids were the information of the ages. about 22.5 degrees from, as it were, the true north. So if we look at the angle of obliquity on this earth, it's not actually 22.5 at present, it's 23.4. The range is 22.1 degrees up to 24.4 degrees. That's the range of the tilt angle of the earth, it changes. So they are like a library, like the knowledge of the universe of as man understands it inscribed onto these pyramids. That's what he says. Don't know where he got that from, but I think he is correct because all of these.
Matty: Yeah.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: as we'll see in a minute, over a 40,000 year cycle. Now that's interesting. That's not our current angle of obliquity, but that might give us a date, of course. So this is doubly interesting because the change in the angle of obliquity of the Earth is well understood. So we'll look at that in a minute. But what about these? megaliths are inscribed with secret information, if you can understand what they're saying. And most of it is pictorial. So I've actually done this, I've actually shown this to children, and children will see it before adults.
Matty: you Exactly. Hmm. interesting.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: because children have an open mind. Adults are set in their ways, they've been schooled, they've been educated, they have certain things that they understand and believe, and it's very difficult for an adult to actually see these images and what they mean. So this book was then updated with K2 Quest of the Gods. This is very esoteric, this one.
Matty: Mm.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: extra circles, they're obviously important. They're big stones. They're part of the original circle. What were they indicating? Well, as we saw ⁓ in that original image by Aubrey, the 18th century one, have, sorry about this being a little bit rudimentary, this diagram, but anyway, it gives you an idea. ⁓ We have I tend to keep these separate. I don't talk about these very much. I've only done this talk a couple of times ⁓ because this is tinfoil hat territory. ⁓ And it sort of detracts from the more serious work I do ⁓ with the Gospels and the Old Testament. But nevertheless, this is just facts. 26 stones in the top one, 29 stones in the bottom one. And we have these shapes inside them. Well, as it happens, 26, if you multiply by two is 52.
Matty: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: And perhaps, just perhaps, that is a latitude marker. So what at 52 degrees is a sort of cove shape pointing out towards the northeast? Well, I think that is quite possibly. You can interpret those facts any way you like. But what I'm doing with this is I'm showing people what the facts may well be. And then you can understand that in any way you really like. ⁓ But I explain exactly what these, they're all megalithic maps. I call it this the megalithic map series. Stonehenge. The Stonehenge sits on the 52 parallel north. So you've got this circle, which is a latitude marker. It's 26 stones, 26 times two is 52. 52 is the latitude of Stonehenge. And Stonehenge is a cove shape pointing out towards the northeast. That is the central element. because they were drawing maps, maps of the cosmos, maps of the earth, ⁓ maps of the continents ⁓ in megalithic architecture. But you would never see that if you just look at the pyramids, the megaliths, you will never see it. Well, you should see it, but most people don't. ⁓ Because as I say, they're programmed not to see it. And the other reason you won't see it is because I was banned. Stonehenge as well. We'll see an image of Stonehenge later, but Stonehenge points at the midsummer rising sun with this horseshoe shape. Maybe that's a better terminology for it. This horseshoe shape pointing out towards the rising sun in midsummer. So just possibly I was banned by Robert Boval who said, ⁓ will never make another film ever again and he will delete me from. ⁓ the film and video world but also from the literary world as well. He was going to ban all of my books. So yes, I was blackballed. I was not allowed to be on any show for 20 years. ⁓ And we can talk about this later actually because it's an interesting story. Maybe when we get to the end of this little talk, can talk about this. ⁓ I've only done one video on this, which is this video. This circle at the top is a latitude marker pointing at an artifact on the real Earth. which is sitting on the 52 parallel norm. But if that's the case, what is this southern circle? And if you remember, it's got that C shape in it.
Matty: crazy.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: a reversed C shape. And for a long time I sat there, I mean this sat there for months without me being able to decide what nerve this was because we're constrained by our understanding again. So I was looking at maybe something in Karnak maybe, you in France, you know, the Low Stonehenge, ⁓ trying to look for monuments that had a C shape to them. The Black Falling of Ralph Ellis by Robert Boval and Random House who happened to be the largest publisher in the world. They banned me from publishing, which is why I had to do self-publishing. So I got round their little ban by doing it myself. ⁓ So what are we going to talk about? We're going to talk about megalithic maps. We're going to talk about
Matty: Wow.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: nothing fitted and this carried on and on and nothing fitted and then I thought hold on a minute if this is an earth image this C shape is sitting in the southern hemisphere
Matty: Yeah, fascinating.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: Don Hensh and Avebury. I prefer Avebury, this is Avebury. ⁓ This is a lithograph from the, probably the 18th century. ⁓ How they envisaged, it was never like this, although there were more stones actually ⁓ standing in the 18th century, it was never quite like this in recorded history. This is how they imagined it should be. Now you wouldn't think of that because now you're going to have to say that, OK, Neolithic man has got into a ship and disappeared down to South Africa or something, you know, off the edge of the known world. from Stonehenge, which is here running all the way down into the South Atlantic. And you think, well, that's barmy. That can't be right. So I'm going to I won't think in those terms. But then I had a look.
Matty: Yeah.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: And it's a fairly good image actually. You will see the large ring. ⁓ And inside there we have two smaller rings which are clearly shown here. They knew that they had these, if you go there today, most of these inner rings have all disappeared. And inside the top ring here we have what they know as the cove, which is a, not a C shape, ⁓ a sort of, And what I found rather astounded me because what I found was this, which I don't know, you might call it the phallus of the South, maybe. ⁓ I don't know if people can instantly see what this is, but this is Argentina up the top here. This is
Matty: Right, right. You're christening that there.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: like a cave almost, that sort of shape of stones pointing out towards the northeast. A horseshoe you might say, something of that nature. And in the bottom ring we have this D shape except the upright of the D is stones laying on the ground whereas the other stones are standing so we end up actually with a crescent shape.
Matty: Yes. Yeah.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: ⁓ Antarctica, the peninsula of Antarctica and between the two of them this tectonic plate has thrust its way through, broken the link between Antarctica and South America and forced its way all the way through over here and what it forms at the end is a chain of islands in a C shape
Matty: Yeah. Let's see shit.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: So that's the image of Stonehenge as it used to be back in the 18th century. I think this was Aubrey. ⁓ He was one of the grand old
Matty: This is Freaky Ralph.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: in a C shape and of course what we were looking for is a C shape but more than that we were looking at a C shape surrounded by 29 stones.
Matty: Yeah.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: historians and went around all of the megaliths and so on trying to chart them, trying to measure them, trying to make images and maps of them. This is what it sort of looks like today. This is an aerial shot ⁓ which I took actually. I was flying an aircraft over here and I snapped a view of it and very nicely this comes out because the sun was low in the horizon and it 29 stones times two, remember, same as we did before, is 58. So we're looking for a C shape on 58 degrees south. And as it happens, if we look at that chain of islands, the 58 parallel south goes right through the center of that C shape. ⁓ the shadows actually pick it out very nicely. So it's large, we're talking 400 meters across, it's a very large, it's the largest henge I think in the world, I think. And we've got a bank and a ditch and then a plain in the center. Now that tells us immediately that this is not defensive. If it was defensive, it would be ditch and bank, but it's not.
Matty: This is unbelievable.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: This is the South Sandwich Islands. This is Montague, I think, island, this one. ⁓ Totally uninhabited, of course. Nobody goes there because there's not much there to go to, really. Just some volcanic islands, few birds. ⁓ Maybe in the future, might get some cruise ships going down there to have a look and investigate. You never know. ⁓
Matty: Hmm. Apparently the builders of Avery was for their summer holidays were hitting off down south of Argentina. Yes.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: it's bank and ditch. So this is not defensive, if anything, that sort of implies that maybe it's like a theater or something of this nature, know, people sitting around the outside watching inside. And immediately we see that there is something mathematical and cartographical about these megaliths. They were
Matty: That's nuts.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: So yes, this lies, this wonderful chain of islands lie on the 58 parallel south, which is exactly what Avebury tells us it should do.
Matty: I knew this was going to be a good talk Ralph, but this is going to be ridiculous. This is unbelievable. Yeah.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: ⁓ But you see why ⁓ people say that I've got my tinfoil hat on because we're talking about preserving knowledge. This was what Josephus Flavius was saying about the knowledge of mankind being engraved on these pyramids or hinges maybe. ⁓ what is the, ⁓ no let's have a look at the next one first. It's just one of the stones.
Matty: Yeah, like to. Yeah, that should be impossible, of course, with our current understanding of what history was. But like we're wrong with this sort of arrogant thought that we know everything now. And ancient man was just some sort of fool with stone with stones to play with, you know. I am sorry. Go on, Ralph. This is crazy.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: ⁓ So this is the size of the stones that they were using. This is in the perimeter ring. So these are quite, they're not trimmed like they are in Stonehenge. So they're quite in the rough, but nevertheless, these are fairly large stones, which they've put up in the outer ring. ⁓ And the inner rings, I think, were about the same sort of size. They were quite large too. So there was a lot of effort gone into this. Yeah, that's exactly the point I was going to make, is that this is impossible. ⁓ Yes, you've got Stone Age man here, he's not only in a ship disappearing off down into the South Atlantic, but he has a sextant with him in order to calculate the latitude of this island in the middle of nowhere that they found. And they've mapped so they know it's a sea shape. ⁓
Matty: You Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: and they're going to go back to Avebury and draw it on the plains of Avebury? For what reason? Why would you want to go to all of that bother? Well, the reason is... to make this. I think there was 110 stones in the outer ring, something of that nature. Don't quote me on that. And then there's 26 and 28 stones in the little circles inside. So this was a magnificent achievement for the era, whenever that era was. ⁓ And here is a Google map view.
Matty: Yeah, that's crazy isn't it? Yeah. Yeah.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: Kilroy was here. I don't know if that makes sense to the modern generation, but there used to be a trend many, many eons ago when I were a lad, ⁓ people would go around drawing on walls saying Kilroy was here and their little face. Just to say you have been there. And so you ended up with Kilroy everywhere in the world. Well, this is a
Matty: Yeah, yeah.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: ⁓ And again you see the large ring around the outside and in the center there is the most important thing in the whole of the Henge which is the ⁓ Red Lion Pub right in the center. So quite obviously the the pub was there first and that's why they built the Henge around it because it's always the most important part.
Matty: Yes. Right, yeah. Yes. Why kill Roy? Who was killed Roy, sorry? ⁓ it was, yeah, yeah, I I see, yeah.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: Yeah, I don't know actually who Kilroy was. Lost to the winds of time, I don't know. Possibly if you look it up, yeah, you'll probably find Chagy GDB or Grok will know exactly who Kilroy was. ⁓ But this is the same. This is a signature left not in the sands, but in the megalithic architecture of
Matty: Yes. No doubt. He's one of Yeah.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: of the world to say This is what we knew, this is what we understood. We knew that the earth is a sphere, it's angled at 22 and a half degrees when we built it, it was angled at 22 and a half degrees, angle of big liquidity. We knew the form and shape of the earth, we knew where Stonehenge was and we can mark that on this map. We knew where the South Sandwich Islands were. and we can mark those on this map as well because this tells you that we were technical, not just civilized, we were technical, we understood all of this and we could measure it. We could go there and measure it somehow in a boat, in a something, a flying saucer.
Matty: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, flan saucer.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: Who knows? ⁓ But somehow we knew the form and shape of the earth and we could measure it, map it and draw that map on the plains of Wilshire so that you in later years, in later millennia could come along, measure it, understand it and say, yeah, these guys knew a great deal.
Matty: Yeah, yeah.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: Interesting isn't it? And that's that's just Avebury. Wait till we come up to the pyramids.
Matty: Yeah. It's unbelievable. I can hardly hold on to a seat here. Yeah. Just a quick wee question about it. Do know if they've done any sort of radar scanning? Is there stuff that's been, you has the great flood sort of risen the tide and we've lost it under the water? Or do you know if there's been any sort of exploration around there?
Prelate Ralph Ellis: no, but that's the whole point of it, isn't it? If you're going to do something like this, it has to be in somewhere remote, where it will not be found by someone, as I say about Giza, by someone digging a latrine and finding something. That just... ⁓
Matty: mystery. Yeah.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: That negates the whole point of the quest. This is a quest. You've got to go on the quest and a quest has to go to somewhere that is remote, that has never been touched, that is uninhabited. Otherwise there is no quest. So, you know, having talked about Arthurian legend and all of these knights on this quest, this is what it's all about. You could say this is the Holy Grail of cartography. of megalithic architecture. And therefore it has to be a remote place. And where is more remote? Let's go back to this image. Where is more remote than the South Sandwich Islands? I would estimate you can count the number of people who have been to the South Sandwich Islands on one hand.
Matty: Yeah, Yeah, it's crazy. Yeah, yeah.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: literally because these are rocky outposts they're not even very easy to land your ship on even if you go there ⁓ it's not as if you're to have vast beaches that you can rock up to in a boat ⁓ I would imagine less than five people have been onto these islands ⁓ yeah if you're talking remote this is remote ⁓
Matty: Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, This is where Kilroy really was. Yeah, yeah. Very good.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: He came from the South Atlantic. And then we go on to Dear Old Stonehenge because.
Matty: One quick wee question. You mentioned hinge again. What does hinge actually mean? What does that word actually mean? Hinge means ditch, right.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: Henge is the ditch. So ⁓ we're not talking about the stones, we're talking about the ditch. ⁓ And that is classically what a henge is, it's a bank and ditch. And often we get stones inside it. ⁓ But really it refers to the ditch. And so we have stone henge and you might say, that's not a henge. It is a henge.
Matty: It's... I see, I see. Thanks. Yeah. I see. You
Prelate Ralph Ellis: And this is the whole point of Stonehenge, because the stones are irrelevant.
Matty: Mm, right.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: So everyone's sitting there and looking at the stones. The stones are completely irrelevant. Don't look at the stones. ⁓ So who made Stonehenge?
Matty: I see.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: Well, if you read our theory and legend, was Merlin.
Matty: The Giants? Wow, okay.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: This is Merlin's dance, ⁓ something cowry in Welsh. ⁓ The giant's dance anyway, they said, and they said it was made by Merlin. And you can see here, here's Merlin raising the stones on top of Stonehenge. This comes from an old manuscript of Arthurian legend, course. So there's another crossover with what I've been doing.
Matty: Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: Although I was going to say before, this book came first. This book was out in 97. So this was the first book I wrote. ⁓ My Arthurian work came much later. So this is Stonehenge from above. And again, this is just a glistening bauble. The stones are irrelevant. Don't look at the stones. You can see how they're making this quest. The quest is, you understand the quest? And everyone's sitting there looking at the stones going, ⁓ what do they mean? What do mean? They mean nothing. And here's the stones again ⁓ in plan view. But what we want to look at is the hen.
Matty: Yeah. Mm. I see.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: and there is a hinge at Stonehenge. So here it is, and you can see that Ditchin Bank goes all the way around the outside. And you can't see it very well here, but there is a small circle here. So there's a small hinge on the southern side, and there is a small hinge on the top side. And they are actually the layout. of the entire Henge. So if we look at it in plan view. These are known as the station stones. So before they made stonehenge, they put these four stones in, one, two, three, four. And from that, architecturally, you can lay out the rest of the hinge, because the whole hinge is based on these four stones. And these four stones, and we'll see this again in animation, but if you measure these in megalithic yards, they form a Pythagorean triangle. Mathematics again, look, there is a Pythagorean triangle. Come within and see what you can see. It's an open invitation, isn't it, to anyone with a mathematical or cartographical bent to come and have a look. So this is in megalithic yards, it's 1496, 104, which boils down to 5, 12, 13. It's a 5, 12, 13. Pythagorean triangle. So we already know that these guys were pretty advanced to know the Pythagorean theorem ⁓ based on Euclid's, isn't it? Euclid's 47th. We'll see that in a minute anyway, something like that. Anyway, around two of these station stones, you'll see these small hinges. One at the top, one at the bottom. they are the most important bit in Stonehenge, not the stones. And you can't see them very well in most pictures, so this is a infrared, hence the color, ⁓ infrared image and again you can see now the station stones as one here we've got the circle here circle down the bottom and this is the other station stone from which they laid out the orientation of the hinge. This yellow line I've drawn through that just shows the axis ⁓ of the hinge obviously perpendicular to the causeway which goes out towards the northeast, towards the rising sun. ⁓ And then these little circles are offset from that. So what do these little circles mean? Here's another image which might give people the clue. Here we go. Yeah, we're...
Matty: Yeah, yeah.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: We might be talking about the earth again. ⁓ Because.
Matty: Mm-hmm.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: These little circles, this is the axis as it were through here. These little circles are displaced by 22 and a half degrees. Remember that? 22 and a half degrees we had with Avebury was the leaning angle of Avebury. So we've already ended up with the same angle of obliquity as Avebury indicating they were built at the same time. Avebury and Stonehenge were obviously built at the same time.
Matty: Yes.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: and I was going to show you procession, but for some reason this new version of Apple on my new computer refuses to do it. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to stop share and jump out. And I'm going to jump back in again.
Matty: Just while we're waiting for that to come up. Could you explain a little bit about what a megalithic yard is? What exactly is a megalithic yard?
Prelate Ralph Ellis: with. ⁓ yes, good point. A megalithic yard. just sharing was something made by Alexander Thomm. So we're as ever you know we're all standing on the shoulders of giants and Thomm went around in the early 20th century measuring all of the megaliths of Britain trying to find the metrology they were using because they must have had or he thought they must have had some sort of standardization to make all of these great monuments. And he, from all of his measurements of these monuments came up with the megalithic yard. And if I remember correctly, it's about 83 centimeters, something of that nature. And he found a commonality throughout all of these megalithic monuments that they were using this megalithic yard. the builders of these many hinges all over Britain
Matty: I see.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: had standardization, they were using the same metrological system. ⁓ And from that, of course, with Stonehenge, as we've just seen, ⁓ they were using the megalithic yard to lay out Stonehenge. This is just a show procession. Now most people will know about this, ⁓ but ⁓ don't know. It's worth going through because ⁓ don't always understand that this applies to earth as well. So this is procession. This is a standard gyroscope and if you put a gyroscope down somewhere it will process. ⁓ That's just what gyroscopes do and the Earth does exactly the same. So this is the Earth with the axis of the Earth pointing out towards Polaris of course, that's where the axis points at present, but it moves and it draws this big yellow circle in the heavens above and that is the ecliptic circle and that circle takes 26 000 years roughly to draw so it's a very slow deliberate circle and we've seen this before in the Arthurian work and ⁓ yes in the Hamat Tvera zodiac we looked at on the shores of the Sea of Galilee they're all processional so they did understand this precession of the equinox. So that is precession. So I'm going to jump back out of that jump back into screen share for the other screen Okay, so we come back. two ⁓ standard images and we can see those yellow circles on the image of Stonehenge. So here's what we saw in that animation. Here's the earth pointing out towards the ecliptic circle and drawing that big yellow circle in the heavens above. and that's what I think they were drawing on Stonehenge and so here are the big yellow circles so if you look up at the night sky you see this big yellow circle in the heavens above and that's what they were drawing on the plains of Wiltshire so if you imagine Stonehenge is the earth So you replace the earth with Stonehenge. I'll animate that later as we go into this talk. And above the earth, this is the axis of Stonehenge, is the yellow circle. It's the processional circle. That is what I think they were drawing in the Stonehenge Henge. And of course, we've already seen that the angle of this circle is 22 and 1 degrees. It's the same as they were using. at Avbrim. So let's have a look at that with a little diagram. Here we go. This is Stonehenge with I've replaced the stones with an earth. And here's the real earth, what you would see as the real earth on a planar sphere, if you're looking on a planar sphere. And you will have this circle above the earth, that yellow circle that it draws, the ecliptic circle at 22 and a half degrees. Well, it was in those days. And that's what we see at Stonehenge. So here's the circle, the yellow circle. at 22 and a half degrees. And we know it's at 22 and a half degrees because, and again, this is mathematical, they're trying to help us out, you know, we've got this quest and the guy is definitely wanting us to succeed in this quest. So there's little clues left everywhere, know, trails of breadcrumbs everywhere. Here's the hinge and inside the hinge, we have all of these holes, known as the Aubrey holes. and there's 56 of them you can see on the right hand side here I've written it out. 56 Aubrey holes so 360 degrees divided by 56 is 6.43 degrees each and you might think well that's a nonsensical number that won't help us but if you count them there's one two three and a half holes from the axis to the center of that yellow circle. And so 3.5 times 6.43 equals 22 and a half. So it's telling us that the angle of obliquity is 22 and a half degrees. It's not now, of course, it's 23.4, but as we've seen, it does wobble.
Matty: Yeah.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: over a 40,000 year cycle. So obliquity, yes, it was a 22 and a half degree obliquity. ⁓ And that gives us, this is the advantage again, we'll have a look. ⁓ no, I've got another diagram. So let's have a look at the diagram. Here we go. ⁓ The blue line is the obliquity. ⁓ And you can see it's got this sinusoidal. ⁓ pattern and ⁓ lascar professor lascar has calculated obliquity back into the past just a little bit into the past you know by 26 million years so it's quite stable i mean they're fairly in the astronomical world they're fairly certain about this cycle
Matty: Yeah.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: and so we can cut his modern obliquity here at 23.4, that's what we have now, that's not what they had a Dave Greenstein Henge, but we can trace this pattern back where it cuts 22.5 degrees and it cuts 22.5 degrees at, if we look in the top right corner, 24,000 years ago, 33.5 half thousand years ago and 66,000 years ago. So every time it cuts this blue line, that's when it was at 22 and a half degrees. So that's your choices. If Avebury and Stonehenge were built when obliquity was 22 and a half degrees, those are your choices. So not 4,000 years ago, as they keep saying. for the Neolithic era. You're talking about 24,000 years, 33,000 years, 66,000 years ago. Those are your choices. And of course you can carry on back even further if you want. If you want to go back hundreds of thousands of years, you could do that as well. Depends how long you think that something like Stonehenge and Avebury can last before it disintegrates.
Matty: Mm-hmm. Yeah, yeah.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: Now those stones, those sarsen stones, they'll last forever. ⁓ I'm sure a sarsen stone will last for 100,000 years quite easily. The ditch and henges, less so. But if mankind is digging out the ditches and relaying them, then they could last as long as you want, Which is why I think we should do that again now. We should actually dig out the ditch. at Avebury and make it back to, because it was really impressive. It was twice as deep as it is now. I mean, you go to it now and you think, wow, that's impressive. No, it was twice as deep as that. I suppose they'll say in the modern world that it's a health and safety issue. You can't have a ditch that big.
Matty: Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, what if you stumble out of that pub and you can't get out of it and you hit the ditch and...
Prelate Ralph Ellis: You have to put up huge great fences all the way down the side of it but I think they should dig it out and make it back to how it was originally. Same at Stonehenge, they should dig out that ditch as well and make it back to how it was. I'm a great believer in reassembling these ancient monuments. I think they should put all the stones back up again at
Matty: Of course, you know, this has been passed down to us. What a shame it is that we've lost sight of it and then don't even care Do you know why?
Prelate Ralph Ellis: Stonehenge and people will look at me and say I'm a heathen. No, I think we should see them as they were, especially as those stones are just sitting there. I mean, they've got the big Trilithan stone, which has fallen down and that was fairly recently. I think that was only a few hundred years ago has fallen down and it's sitting on the ground, of course. ⁓ That would be a wonderful opportunity to see what has not been disturbed.
Matty: Absolutely. Yeah.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: for 300 years or so since it fell over. You could actually put it back up again and then do some investigation underneath where that stone has been lying. ⁓ Yeah, I'm a great fan for doing that. I mean, if you go down to Knossos ⁓ on Cyprus, and not on Cyprus, it's on Crete, isn't it? It's on Crete. ⁓ And you walk around there and everyone says, ⁓ that's really good,
Matty: Yeah. Who's buried under it? Yeah.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: You can really see how these people were living back in those times, in the Minoan times. Most of that is a reconstruction. When Arthur Evans went out there, all of the pillars and so on you see, most of that is actually a modern reconstruction. But it does tell you more about that site than if it was just a few walls, less than a meter high or something. I think it makes it much better, but there we go.
Matty: I see, I see.
Prelate Ralph Ellis: I'm a heretic, what do I know?
