Cort Lindahl | The Arcadian Mysteries, Oak Island, Edgar Allen Poe, & The Inner Earth

00:13 The planet's puppet masters almost surely have a plan There clearly may be something there beyond the realm of man Until we've thoroughly tested every last closed chested view You'll find the more you think you know, less you really do Where would we be without THC? We know the lying to us just don't know to what degree. Where would we be without THC? The high side, Chad's show. Great Carl Wood and Company

01:00 Alright, Hireside Chatters. It's no surprise that the elites speak to each other and coded symbolism not meant for mere commoners or non-initiates and we've seen the breadcrumbs of this stretching back centuries Sometimes it's in statues an obelisks sometimes it's in the architecture of famous buildings And sometimes it's in the media This doesn't surprise us today, but what if many old famous landmarks that we take for granted in modern times actually contain indications that they're connected to a group of royal bloodlines and an inner circle that we haven't heard much about? Well when it comes to such legends and landmarks as the Oak Island Money Pit, Renlis Chateau Washington DC, Stirling Castle, Roseland Chapel and the like. As we're going to learn today this might be the case

01:44 Of course, many seekers have sought to unravel the mysteries in these locations. The secret messages and famous paintings and the hidden meanings of their associated lore hoping to unearth some hidden Templar or Masonic riches at the end of the proverbial rainbow like a real-life national treasure situation but they've all had little luck so far as far as we know People, these are the themes in the work of today's long overdue returning guest Court Lindahl. Court joined us back in 2014 to talk about his book Axis Mundi which looked at a particular type of geomancy and building design that aligned certain landmarks across huge portions of the globe and he has been expanding on that research ever since having released several new books along the way such as The Geographic Mysteries Of Sir Francis Bacon The Truth About Oak Island And More

02:32 The Secrets of Edgar Allan Poe, the Kensington Rune and Beale treasure revealed. The use of the Prime Meridian in talismanic architecture. Mysteries and Legends in Northern California, the truth about Mount Shasta and beyond And the latest in the series Oak Island and the Arcadian mysteries, Oak Island, Renle Chateau, and Shugborough Hall A Nicholas Cage for the modern age, the main magi of Axis Monday and the geographical mystery decoder extraordinaire Court Lindahl. Welcome back to The Higher Side Chats! Well thanks for having me Greg that was a great intro and I need not explain anything else you already did so good job no it's interesting subject i'm looking forward to chatting with you about more today yeah man is really great have your back you are doing some really unique stuff

03:19 and uncovering more and more details along the way that kind of support your overarching idea, which is probably the best place to start because I find this stuff to be pretty complex if you're not familiar with the names and locations. But when you watch the videos you've made using Google Earth for visual reference it becomes pretty clear that these sites that we're going to talk about are all set up in relation to each other and the geometric shapes they form They're contained in the artwork that's also kept at these places, and it's just pretty fascinating stuff. And then you layer on the lore and the mystique of hidden treasure, and it's even more intriguing! But to kick this off let's talk about the overall hypothesis here. To quote the introduction of your latest book

04:02 You say the research has led you to information related to Oak Island that solidly links the stories from Sterling Castle, Shugborough Hall, Washington DC, Chico California, The Frenchman's Tower of Palo Alto, Renle-Chateau and Oak Island Nova Scotia via the Arcadian theme. A distinct group of families extending from the Old World gentry to the early colonial era seem to have been involved over the entire span of post medieval history including the development of the United States and Canada. And that's a big can of worms! So what is the Arcadian theme, and who are these people we're talking about?

04:39 Will the arcadian theme links to my navigational concepts really what i did when i first started was examine their architecture of thomas jefferson who built three octagonal structures including poplar forest monticello. And barbers will mention that he built for the governor of virginia his friend barber, So all of these things, when you study Thomas Jefferson it's plain to see he was a great naturalist and scientist but he was also a trained land surveyor in skills that he picked up while he was a student at the College of William & Mary. And he was later the Surveyor General of Albemarle County where Charlottesville and Monticello were located. And then Williamsburg is the octagonal powder magazine

05:28 And as I studied back through time, I found that these structures were kind of a direct reference to the Greek Tower of the Winds in Athens Greece. That is a kind of ancient time-keeping laboratory. It's a small octagonal structure that's oriented to the pole star or true north that actually had sundials on the south facing facets of the octagon and it even contained a pressurized water clock which is kind of similar in form or function to the famous Antikythera device that a lot of people are interested in, that was found in a shipwreck. That showed the movements of the planets. This strange geared device that worked also on water pressure so it's suspected there were other structures throughout the domain of the Greeks at that time The Tower of the Winds was built anywhere from 50 BC to 280 AD they're not really sure

06:26 But it helped to define for people who ran the empire or the control of the Greek culture in defining time and space in relation to a center point. So this made a kind of crude form of mapping using the Tower of the Winds itself as the center point in a map that would resemble a polar projection And that's one of the maps that the flat earth believers point at to show the flat earth. But really, this type of map does take spherical geometry to produce but the unique and functional part about it is when you use that kind of map you can draw straight lines from the center point leading to other places

07:09 on the earth without calculating the arc or the curvature. So when you use a center point like that, it's a lot easier to plot locations that are related to it by collecting star logs at other points and comparing them to the central point So really throughout time this started out with a lot of spiritual overtones that it, Greek cast of priests known as augers were probably privy to the geometry involved in. This kind of thing gained spiritual overtones after time if we can imagine a group of robed men out at night setting up post or stone cairns to cite the pole star that this would look kind of mystical and strange two people who saw them doing it

07:53 Through time you see a lot of these views of this being applied to it by people who really aren't aware just the practical geometry involved. So through time emperor constantine seem to have a preference for that he built four octagonal structures including, the palace in constance nope will known as the daffodil had an octagon room minute that served is his personal quarters and all of the other Byzantine or Roman rulers up until the time of Justinian II lived in this octagon. So there's a lot of evidence that led me to the assumption that Constantine had built an octagonal structure on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, right? And his remains may have even been interred there are entombed below this structure. More research led me to believe

08:48 that even this is the secret information that we're supposed to see, that the Knights Templar discovered during their time there. Because it's really interesting if you look at even the Al-Aqsa Mosque there—that was built by Justinian II another Byzantine ruler and there are even sources that say Justinian II was involved in building the Dome of the Rock which may have really used pieces of the original octagon that Constantine had built there Because at that time the Muslim Caliph of Jerusalem was actually paying tribute to Justinian II, and there's records of him sending quote artists and engineers there to help in the construction of the Dome of the Rock. And this is really interesting too because one of the facets of the Dome of the Rock actually points to St Peter Square of the Vatican where the Egyptian obelisk is if you create an arc on the globe at that angle

09:45 the Vatican actually points back. And we know surrounding the obelisk there are, quote, wind rose markers that have compass directions on them so these two structures actually point to each other on the globe using compass terms and everything. So that's really goes a long way towards backing my theory of Constantine and the Byzantines had some kind of hidden involvement in the construction of the Dome of the Rock And we see this progressing through history to Ravenna, Italy where several octagons were built that I believe hold these properties. And then even Charlemagne of the great Frankish and German ruler, the Holy Roman Emperor built Aachen Cathedral which the name Aachen even refers to The Eighth. Yeah! This was a copy of The Dome Of The Rock

10:37 And it does indeed have directional qualities too, just like a lot of the other places. And what's interesting here about Charlemagne is we begin to see the origins of this kind of Rosicrucian man-in-the-mountain mythology where Charlemagne actually created a mystery as to where his remains were And I believe he did this in response to being privy to what Constantine had done. If you look into Constantine, nobody's really sure where Constantine is buried and many people speculate that he was entombed at the Church of the Holy Apostles in Constantinople, or what is today Istanbul. But there's no definite proof of that either and he originally built what is known as The Mausoleum of Saint Helena in Rome for himself to be entombed in when his mother passed away, he had her buried there so he wasn't even entombed in the structure he had built and designed for himself which does have octagonal qualities

11:40 And really, later quote Templar churches are all based on the design of the mausoleum of Saint Helena in Rome. So this leads to some of the conspiracy theories that later Byzantine rulers engaged in a kind of quest to find Constantine's remains and the fact that Byzantine rulers were engaged in building structures on the Temple Mount may indicate that my theory is true, that he actually at one time was entombed there. And his legend along with Charlemagne later influenced what we know of today as Rosicrucian philosophy

12:18 in that the central tenet of Rosicrucianism is the fact that Christian Reusenkreuz is entombed in a seven-sided chamber, that takes kind of a mystery to solve where he is. So there's records of at least four subsequent Holy Roman German and Frankish emperors opening Charlemagne's vault—the first one to do so, Otto I— actually finding the Coronation Gospels and other, quote, secret manuscripts entombed with charlamagne. And the Coronation Gospels of course are the book where all German kings when they were coronated that Bible was used so that's an interesting link to the whole cultural phenomena and nationalist ideals

13:07 of an emperor or empire, or later what would even be used in countries like the United States to kind of show a national character. And this will be later that we'll discuss in literature and visual art as well. This was all expressed to kind of give people clues as to what was going on through time. This later became a Masonic concept Where even people could use the central point such as the tower of the winds cathedral. The powder magazine in williamsburg or the newport tower in rhode island even as a centerpoint, have a mystery that was intentionally contrived for specific people to learn their way through the clues and turn also leading tall of these myths and legends of hidden treasures

13:58 in association i mean even later during the civil war we see the knights of the golden circle stashing valuables for their intelligence assets using clues and symbols carved on trees and rocks to lead somebody. Do you have a weapons invaluable that could be used and even in this games they use they use octagonal forms and templates to achieve so It's a tradition we can see through time that can be applied to many of these geographic landscape mysteries, I term them. This is where the theme of Arcus comes in or Arcadia

14:38 Exactly and this is a great overview so far especially you know that constantine temple mount dome of the rock connection that has major religious implications i was something we focused on a lot last time but that is a pretty bold claim that a lot of people are gonna be upset by or certain feathers would be ruffled by of course So basically there are many sites that included in this network of connected alignment so many different groups have used this method of a lining things and on the topic of mysteries and arcadia let's talk about oak island in the legendary money pit in nova scotia sure, for people who might not be super familiar with story goes at three men saw some strange lights in the sky that led them to an intention in the ground with the ropes employees of a ship

15:27 hanging from a tree above they decided to dig and uncovered an engraved stone that talked about a treasure below that but as you did the pit is rigged to flood itself, people have been digging out these layers of material for more than two hundred years i guess nothing seems to have ever been found the pet keeps filling in and the rub is like we've talked about with other guests and different situations this story was written in a book. Many years before the money pit was ever found that also connects it to this arcadian theme right correct and that's a great point because really. What started to tip me off to the importance of our kate is i noticed these three different places have mystery sterling castle shug burrow hall in rain le chateau, that all incorporated the arcadian theme as part of the mystery there

16:22 The land around sterling castle was once referred to as arcadia, which the original arcadia is a province of greece on the peloponnesian peninsula that was named for the mythological character arkis. That's also where they were are gone the globe comes from archaeology anything that has a time based or spatial based reference uses that prefix in many cases so Arcus, through a series of events he and his mother were cast into the sky as the constellations Ursa Major and Ursa Minor with Arcus being Ursa Minor. And the tail of Ursa Minor is the Pole Star so here we see a veiled reference to using the Pole Star as astronomers and astrologers do to fix other angles and distances on the globe with relation to true north

17:16 Just like when astronomers create a position to view the stars from, the first thing they do is to create a meridian or north-south line that they can now measure other angles from of other celestial bodies. And of course this leads us to the art of navigation and finding your way on the globe or plotting places in relation to each other on the globe So that's why the Arcadian theme, every time you're seeing a mystery that mentions this you're being tipped off that there is a structure or point on Earth that you use to measure from to find clues and help you solve the mystery. Of course Oak Island is located in what was known as French Acadia

18:01 And this is the name where even Cajuns in Louisiana get their name from because they were exiled from Arcadia at the time, and the back-and-forth of English and French fought over and traded control of what is Nova Scotia today and Maine several times. So what I found when i was looking into this, I looked into Shugborough Hall which is famous for the Shepherd's Monument there and there's your Arcadian reference because the Shepherd's Monument has a bas-relief rendering of Nicola Poussin painting The Shepherds of Arcadia on it. And as I searched into that I began to believe that this monument was a memento mori for the beheaded King Charles I of England

18:49 And indeed, Charles' last words were from a book entitled Arcadia by a man named Philip Sidney. So Charles I quoted the passage called Pamela's Prayer from Arcadia as his last words before he was beheaded. At this point, I'm sitting there scratching my head a lot wondering what is going on because I see this Arcadian theme also Being part of the oak island treasure mystery and lo and behold i was astounded as i looked into that book more first of all i found a passage in the book. That really tells the same story that you did have three young men found, the money pit there's one character named doris that wants to escape with miss pamela but she has a servant assigned to watch and make sure this doesn't happen

19:47 So doris sends the servant off on a fool's errand to find this treasure when the man gets there it said depression in the ground situated beneath an oak tree with flagstones just under the top of the dirt. Some of the descriptions of it are like he couldn't wait to find his golden acorns. Describe him digging down through this depression where somebody else had already dug it up before and removing quote logs in rocks as he proceeds and traces of where pieces of gold and silver used to be in the dirt he describes everything but when you reach is the bottom of the pit

20:28 There's an engraven stone there that is just like the 90 foot stone described in the Oak Island treasure legend that had an encoded message on it. So he finds there also a box with some poetry in it, seemingly as warning one you were sent on a fool's errand! After a long time the servant removes the stone even because he suspects that there's a tomb or vault beneath it When he removes the stone, he finds another piece of parchment with a poem on it that does indeed inform him that he was just sent on this errand to find this lost treasure while Doris escaped with Miss Pamela. So at that point I'm like wow! This book has what seems to be the original Oak Island story in it

21:20 And it has these references to Charles the first, his last words and another Arcadian mystery at Shugborough Hall. So as I looked even more into the book, i discovered that the book had been amended around 1618 by a man named William Alexander who was the first Earl of Stirling and the first Baron of Nova Scotia So the first Scottish Baron of Nova Scotia who had been appointed by King James I, who was the son of Mary Queen of Scots as being the Baron of Nova Scotia. Who actually edited and amended the book Arcadia which does refer to French Arcadia or the French pronounce it Acadia not Arcadia but it means the same thing

22:13 So there's too many coincidences here building up in association with this piece of literature that was published over two hundred years prior to the three young men. Discovering the money pit and the modern story of the money pet as we see it unfolding really what this is showing us is that there's a lot more Going on there that the alexander family may have even been involved in creating the money pit weather it's real or not whether this is your treasure unit or not and what maybe. So there's a lot of variables that these treasures could even include relics are personal belongings for and along shot even body parts

22:59 These beheaded scottish kings of england yes because overtime we see they had big disputes with the parliamentarian government. of England where they were still Catholic and this was not kosher, I shouldn't say at that time. So that was part of Charles the first problems in why he was beheaded and then later Charles II after the English Civil War was brought back and he continued to have the same issues up until the time of James II, James III and Bonnie Prince Charlie which is starting to lead us into the time of the American Revolution

23:38 But even long before that, just before the time Philip Sidney wrote Arcadia, Mary Queen of Scots was beheaded for very similar reasons because she was kind of a threat to queen Elizabeth I. Because she had a more legitimate claim via blood to the throne which she had given up because she was queen to France at one point And then lost that, came to assume the royal titles of Scotland and then was caught plotting against Queen Elizabeth to take the whole enchilada for herself. So she had a lot of issues like that too and was eventually beheaded for very similar reasons to Charles I. This is some of the connections we start to see

24:25 with these relics that may have come from Mary Queen of Scots who had a collection of biblical relics, including at one time she had the head of Saint Margaret or Queen Margaret of Scotland who was made as saint. So she had her skull other body parts of other saints and other biblical relics and after she was beheaded this is amazing a man named Robert Beale was her personal liaison between her and Queen Elizabeth, more than likely ended up with all of these items. And this may lead us later to the Beale treasure in Virginia

25:03 So a lot of these things have connections all the way back in time via people like Philip Sidney's nephew, the man who wrote Arcadia served the same position with Charles I and his liaison with the parliament at that time who beheaded him. And Philip Herbert, who was Philip Sidney's nephew Likely ended up with all of his personal belongings at that time and this included a copy of arcadia. And the copy of the first folio shakespeare which amazingly philip herbert, the man who ended up with these items in his brother william herbert are the subjects of the dedication of that book wow

25:51 So let me jump in here because just so far we've talked a lot about headlessness and beheading, and not being sure where Constantine is buried. There's this trend of hiding these bodies of digging up skulls of having skulls Mary Queen of Scots said to have the head of Saint Margaret that she used as a talisman It's kind of weird. And, you know the Knights Templar also all over this sort of stuff and they apparently kept ahead of John the Baptist that they were channeling through. You hear rumors that Skull & Bones digs up the bodies of famous people and uses their bones in ritual it's a pretty pervasive theme and it makes you wonder these people are capable of understanding some pretty deep concepts

26:36 Maybe they have some belief that you control the skull, you control the spirit in the astral plane or something. There is some kind of magical belief at least around skulls and bodies because people in this club, so to speak seem to go to great lengths to hide where they're buried and other people seem to go to great lengths to possess the skulls of important people very strange I agree with you. A good example is skull and bones, that's a very popular one that everybody points to and I think some Blue Lodge basonic rituals and things that they do that skulls are used in a fashion where you're meant to contemplate your mortality just by being exposed to this symbol of death

27:23 And this is kind of the same purpose of the famous skull and crossbones pirate flag that when you see the pirates ship in a run up to jolly roger it's time to start contemplating your mortality do you really wanna go down this road or do you want just turn the other way exactly and links me to a really cool story about the head of black beard the pirate. In williamsburg virginia because he was active at this time right around when governor spots would was governor in the early part of the seventeen hundred. And of course the story goes there is when they captured him he was beheaded immediately,

28:00 And they took his head and put it on a pike at the entrance to Hampton Harbor in Hampton, Virginia. Jeez! And it stayed there for about three years until it was just a skull and they took it down and fashioned into the base of a silver punchbowl. And this sounds like a crazy story but there's lots of documented sightings of it hasn't been seen since the 1920s But there's lots of accounts of people viewing it and even drinking punch from the bowl. And this was said to be at the Raleigh Tavern in Williamsburg, at the time Thomas Jefferson was a student there and George Washington and James Madison all these future heavyweights in American history. This is such a normal thing that they didn't even think twice about making a punchbowl out of pirates head

28:51 Man different times so it's a trend there you're right the way you broke it down was great. In fact in a lot of these mysteries as we go along there is a distinct funerary over time with messages being hidden on gravestones and in books of symbols, As momento more i for people who had passed away and everything so part of these mysteries in the new story quest are this also speaks to some of these, i've suspected don't even have real treasures associated with them. Because when you start delving into a specific mystery in oak island for example here i found the whole history of sir william alexander the first baron of nova scotia

29:35 He's even one of the many people suspect either helped in the production of shakespeare or produced it himself. Because he was a famous writer and poet as well, is philip sydney was mean philip sydney and his sister mary sydney herbert accountants have been broke who is the mother of phillip and william who i mentioned earlier was the head of the Wilton writers circle. So throughout time you also see these writers and artists expressing themselves in kind of metaphor and allegory that just hints at what's going on, and sometimes indeed does presage or tell the future of actual events that later happen even

30:18 So all of that is involved with the funerary aspects, which we see at the first three Arcadian mysteries I call them that identified at Sterling. There's a headstone there called The Service Stone that has symbols on it from A Book Of Symbols called Quarrel's Book Of Symbols—that is really interesting. There's the Jerusalem stone pyramid there at Sterling that resembles the steep-sided pyramid on the United States $1 bill And if you follow all that back too, it's entirely possible that all these kind of symbols that we see that are usually attributed to Freemasonry also are associated with these famous Scottish families prior to the time that Freemasonry even existed. In some cases even the Catholic Church valued this. There is two steep-sided pyramids similar to the one at Stirling Castle in Rome

31:14 that were built in antiquity. The death's head used in funerary places or cemeteries by the church is not uncommon, as are the pyramid with the all-seeing eye and I think at about the time we see Freemasonry starting to use and adapt these symbols, we see the Church Beginning not to use them i mean even at the cathedral santiago de compostela and octon cathedral which i, spoke of before have the pyramid in the all seeing eye is part of the artwork in the cathedrals right you know in that case of oak island.

31:52 It's funny that arcadia describes the similar story and then in the end it's a box of poetry cuz some people do talk about other works of shakespeare being buried there and that's interesting because if you were shakespeare, add at time he wouldn't care like you'd be like i'm just burying a poem that is to me kind of like arbitrary compared to what people would wanna find now we would consider that probably just as important not more than actual treasure which is just kinda ironic. But it would be funny if in the real case, the story follows suit all the way through to being a box of poetry. Another thing I wanted to mention was that apparently Arcadia, the book was important to the intelligence circles of Queen Elizabeth which does suggest that its possibly propaganda or has hidden meaning and I think that is really interesting today like we have all these highly refined

32:47 situations of propaganda and the media is constantly giving us distractions and the conspiracy world is often injected with over-the-top fantasy from paid infiltrators which obscures real information. Sure, and the contention here's that this has been going on for centuries and originally it was happening in these writing guild sanctions from royalty which would encode their own subtext but write these stories largely to entrance and distract the masses And in the case of these older sites and mysteries that would be the wilton's writing circle but this is also i want to bring up edgar allen poe because you write about his connections and a couple chapters and how he also mirrored the oak island mystery and his work the gold bug

33:32 And it's funny because typically we think of these figures as just talented people who are successful with their art. But in recent years, a lot of conspiratorial researchers have been examining figures from 60s culture music the beatnik poetry scene Hollywood actors and they're pointing out political and military intelligence connections that make you wonder how many of these people are plants whose work is supposed to serve a certain purpose, that might have started with these sorts of state-sponsored writer skills that you're talking about. And Poe might have actually been a member of one of these later that you call The Cincinnati Group? Is that right?"

34:08 Yes, and really you mentioned the Wilton writers group which is one of the earlier influential ones with this whole group of writers everybody speculates actually wrote Shakespeare if it wasn't him himself. Also at the time prior to charles the first beheading. The vatican formed a literary guild called the academy of arcadia, which was composed of poets visual artists and even nicolas poussin though he created his painting the shepherds of arcadia prior to that was later said to be a member of that artist killed

34:46 We all know that he was educated in part by Athenaeus Kircher, who's a famous Jesuit scientist code maker and historian. So he had some connections right there to what may be considered an intelligence service as well. Throughout time we do see this tradition of that. We see people like Thomas Jefferson who is known to be involved in the intelligence services of the early United States having an extensive art collection That includes a portrait of Sir Francis Bacon who is one of his three most admired people. He had a portrait of the Magdalene Pentonet holding the skull, Mary Magdalene in the skull which is emblematic and was even a piece of art very similar to that as part of the illustrations in the early edition of Edgar Allan Poe's The Gold Bug

35:39 And the gold bug is really interesting in there if you look at that after having studied a great deal about thomas jefferson you can see that the main character in the goldberg. His name is lagrange and lagrange the architect who inspired thomas jefferson to create the oval shaped dome of monticello, he was known to be one of thomas jefferson's favorite architects We go on to see the character lagrand is highly intellectual person in the gold bug who's a naturalist, scientist of the day and he has a freed slave servant named jupiter. And thomas jefferson also had personal servant name jupiter

36:27 We see edgar allen poe attended the university of virginia while thomas jefferson was still alive and known to meet with exceptional students that at this time. We start to see this pattern in pose life that could paint him as being a spy yeah in tandem with his membership in the society of the cincinnati Which is a group composed of revolutionary war officers and one of their male lineal descendants which would have qualified people like edgar allen poe henry wadsworth longfellow james fannemore cooper.

37:05 Samuel Morse, Emerson. A lot of really famous names in this mid-19th century era of American literature in which America is starting to gain a national identity via the writings of these people like Drums Along the Mohawk from Cooper Longfellow writing of all his Norse heritage and association with American history that became political football later That may have been done to promote at that time it was considered a false notion of the norse having built the new port tower and things like that but in the gold bug. It's interesting because as the story progresses there is an encoded thing that is deciphered and legrand ends up finding out treasure beneath the skull hanging from the branch of a tree

37:58 And a lot of this imagery leads us both to Rain Le Chateau and Oak Island. For instance, in the Goldbug one of the opening lines of the book is take your bearing from a shot in the devil's seat to the bishops house or something to that effect. Hmm. And for anybody that is a fan of the rain le chateau mystery they know about the devil seat and rain lay ban nearby which are the old roman baths That is supposed to be part of the mystery which is the stone carved chair there known as the devil seat so it's interesting that pose referring to things like this in that.

38:38 The only conclusion be that he at least heard that story before and incorporated it into this fictional work. For other people to recognize somehow beyond it just being a good story that's pretty obscure reference to another mystery that wasn't even exposed until after po was dead, Yeah so that was interesting and the story of the gold bug see this is what always happens when i talk about the geography part of all of this, define all these relationships in everything you know look well how can i relate rain with shit. And sullivan's island georgia where the gold bug takes place on the map

39:19 And we know at Raines-le-Chateau, researcher Henry Lincoln identified this big pentagram using landmarks near Raines-le-Chateau including the chapel, Château Blancheforte, the fortress of Bézout and others to create this giant pentagram in the landscape. Now if you take the pentagram and connect the tips of it, you get a Pentagon. One of the lines from that Pentagon if changed to an arc on the globe points directly to Sullivan's Island South Carolina. Wow! So is that just chance or was this some sort of arranged part of the whole mystery? And sure as heck I researched even more

40:02 I found this obscure letter which is of course disputed by many people that was written by alexander who wrote the three musketeers and man in the iron mask another famous books that we've all heard. Edgar Allan Poe actually came to visit him and stayed with him for six months in France. And it was interesting because Dumas had written this letter to an Italian police official as part of his search for the temple treasure that had been sacked, of course from the Temple Mount and brought to the Temple of Peace of Rome. And then when the Visigoths and Ostrogoths invaded it was never seen again

40:47 So he was searching for that and really we know a lot of people believe that treasure is hidden somewhere around red lechito. That's one of the theories about what's going on there, and that does have a lot of historical background in that was the region of septa mania. That was actually ruled by the austra gothic king who helped to create revenue italy theodoric great his daughter married into the Visigoths who had the Merovingian blood there, leading us to the blood of Christ and all those kind of concepts as well. So it isn't just a fanciful shot in the dark that this treasure could be in the area. There's real historical reasons for it and that's why having known all of that when I started to look at Poe and Longfellow and everything, I found all these connections

41:38 as if they were actually investigating the truth of these things for intelligence gathering purposes. We see that along with the beheaded kings are the exiled monarchies that are associated with them, And these groups of people seemingly continued to operate for various amounts of times as if they were countries that had actually no physical land associated with them. That through them and their associates, all the people that had benefited from them being the monarchs before, all of their military contractors of the day. Hangers-on business owners that worked with their regime would actually continue to take part in this kind of what people term a shadow government today. Wow! And indeed we will see that the exiled monarchy I was speaking of before James II and James III

42:37 and Bonnie Prince Charlie starting at the turn of the 1600s to the 1700s, leading all the way up to the Revolutionary War was influenced by this group of exiled kings of England who actually wanted to come to North America and begin a republic of their own because they felt as a family right that their families were in control when Jamestown was started. When the Massachusetts Bay Colony was started So they felt they owned it, not parliamentary England or the new kings that they brought in from Germany. We see this factor being part of American history all the way up until the point after the Revolutionary War there was even a serious movement to make Bonnie Prince Charlie the king of America."

43:28 There are actually bills presented in Congress that were defeated due at no small part to Thomas Jefferson's opposition to them. that no, we're not having a king. That's just against the grain of the more rational quote enlightened portion of people that perpetrated the American Revolution along with their French allies which is interesting too because Bonnie Prince Charlie was related to all of the French people that helped us in the revolution as well It's really more of a complex story than what you're told in your average history book if you start to read between the lines and see where the money came from, help fund the revolution. Indeed incidents like them trying to make Bonnie Prince Charlie the king of America later that all these things are byproducts and related to these strange treasure mysteries

44:24 Like we see at Oak Island, which may have been stashed there was some sort of loot to help fund the American Revolution. Or even Bonnie Prince Charlie at first I believe they wanted to take over Nova Scotia and make it a republic country of their own of New Scotland And this eventually morphed into the entire Republic of the United States of America. It's really compelling that William Alexander, the Baron of Nova Scotia who amended Philip Sidney's Arcadia his direct descendants are the namesake of Alexandria Virginia

45:04 And they own most of the property that would become the original 10 mile shaped diamond boundaries of Washington DC. We know Washington DC is smaller today, but originally it was a ten mile sided square rotated 45 degrees to form a diamond with Alexandria being right at the southern tip and in the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War we see General William Alexander Who is the direct descent of the baron of nova scotia sir william alexander and you know you had also mentioned one year videos that part of the washington monument is actually.

45:46 Modeled after part of the library of alexandria which might connect that's a provocative mystical place but who knows how far back this kind of stuff goes. Oh certainly that's the george washington masonic memorial in alexandria that's different than the washington monument at national mall gotcha yeah thats definitely patterned after lighthouse of alexandra, that's an interesting structure because it aligns with king street the whole square block layout of alexandria they built it so it was oriented with that but they also build the george washington masonic memorial do south of the naval observatory in washington dc which serves as the axis monday. Washington dc if not the entire united states exactly due south of that and then able to return interesting because its an astronomical observatory

46:40 that is actually patterned after Shugborough Hall in England. It looks very similar to the building there at Shugborough Hall, and this defines a prime meridian we refer to or all U.S. naval ships at sea refer to for their time bearings So it's interesting that they also built the George Washington Masonic Memorial right on this meridian, where it is also aligning with the streets of Alexandria. And what I also found that was really mind-blowing as the orientation of the structure from plan view itself if you create the arc that goes along the way points to the south at points directly to Mount Vernon

47:25 which is George Washington's estate. So we kind of see how these things are set up like this to kind of lead you on a path of realization as to what's going on and even what it's for And why they might orient these things or place them in certain positions like that. Right it's just so amazing and you have to restore so much context to do the work you do but, You make it quite clear and when it comes to cryptic information encoded into fiction from authors who might have had connections to mystery school sacred information if you wanna get real weird with it

48:03 The hollow earth or the inner could be one of these possible themes to relate it to you know this is a tangent but related back to the main topics here i was looking further into add greland because of all these connections you found with him and his family, can he too wrote about the hollow earth because the climax of his novel the narrative of arthur gordon pym of nantucket. In that he stages some of the main scenes at the south polar opening as it would be described by the hollow earth model and i just thought that was interesting could be another example i just like the way something's tie into the holler or in general but the other day we got to talking.

48:42 And i was saying how intrigued i was by this stuff and you were saying that it's actually wrapped up in this quite a bit because a lot of these secret orders were big into, enaki and concepts and the enoki and model is a nine chambered earth its part of the rose accretion system and to tie it back to oak island this nine chambered earth model as possibly why there are nine levels to the oak island. layers of log in the money pit, and also maybe nine levels of the Royal Archdegree of Freemasonry. So maybe all these nines are related in that Inner Earth lore is a little bit tied up in this! I think you're right that's entirely possible because of all of these illusions to the underworld and even going back. Nova scotia let me mention real quick that the general william alexander we were discussing before who is descended of the baron of nova scotia prior to the war actually returned to scotland

49:38 And was awarded the title, The Earl of Sterling by the Scots period. But this was turned down by British Parliament for obvious reasons because after the war if he had been awarded this then Nova Scotia would be part of United States but yes the theme of the hollow earth and emerging from the underworld is kind of part of these things all the way back to the myths of constantine and charlemagne in these kind of quest legends that they develop these man in the mountain myths. You can search that term and you'll see lots of stories pop up that are related to the man in the mountain, and the tales about how people searched for relics and everything associated with all these. So that's been a tradition for very long time as well going all the way back into the Greek culture there is two interesting examples of it in Egypt too they're supposed to be missing labyrinth

50:36 somewhere on the Giza Plateau that occasionally we see stories popping up about. But this is interesting, the whole symbol of the labyrinth in the story of Theseus and the Minotaur how Theseus goes into the labyrinth to save the children and leaves a trail of yarn behind him And in this, the ball of yarn is known as a clue C-L-E-W-E, and that's where the word clue comes from So he's leaving himself a clue as to how to escape after he gets lost looking in battles the minotaur we all know that you wins and everything eventually but really what you're being told there is that anytime uc elaborate their reference to these underground facilities. There's a mystery of foot because your being given a clue i love it

51:30 That's my interpretation, but every time I see this it seems to be true. It seems to work out. I mean, I haven't read that anywhere but the way i look at the symbology and everything...it leads me to believe that's part of it and then really another ancient Greek practice was the Mysteries of Lucius in which all the participants would swear never to reveal what would happen in this big enclosed area after they were initiated But we do know part of these initiations or ceremonies are part of going to solve the mysteries of Aleutius is going into an underground passageway after being dosed with

52:12 What many people speculate was hallucinogenic honey. So these people are now having a psychedelic experience, led through the underground to get a clue or experience whatever kind of things they do when they're on psychedelic drugs in a cave you know and then they emerge into the sunlight into this enclosed area where everybody has food and drink and they're welcomed and it's more stressful part of the initiation is over But we see through time that all these underground chambers also, as you pointed out referenced the Book of Enoch and the nine chambers one on top of each other that later became a Masonic tenet or part of the initiation into the Royal Archdegree. Something that they're aware of which there's nine degrees

53:03 So it is interesting that there were nine layers of logs in the money pit that in legend were said to be removed unfortunately we don't know all this for sure it's all been a story that told us. At the point on the ninth level they found a stone that resembles the stone in the book arcadia no one's ever seen either unfortunately there is only drawings of that there are lots of eyewitness accounts being seen but the stone is missing. You know lot of people that are obsessed with the oak island treasure are first wanting to find the stone to prove it's real and to prove the decoding of it that said there is treasure fifty feet below or something like that two million pounds worth of gold. Well you know on a higher side chats were always on a stone quest so to speak. California style right yes well another thing i was gonna say we're talking the other day i had mentioned how we have book the titan

54:05 an unsinkable ship that hits a nice bergen sinks which came out i think ten to twenty years before the titanic situation and we have our kate come out first in describe this real life oak island money pit, add one other thing we discussed about the hollow earth is jules verne road journey to the center of the earth and similar climate to agree right. Sure, and that leads us to really a very interesting person whose name pops up all the time. Alexander von Humboldt who was personal friends with Thomas Jefferson and had correspondence with him. It's really interesting that Von Humboldt was one of the first Western scholars not of the Catholic Church to examine the Aztec sunstone

54:50 And he wrote his description of it, the way it really worked and he nailed it. This was in 1803. His description of it is interesting too because it sounds almost like a person who uses new age terminology today to describe what was going on but he was already aware that it described different epochs of time yet all divided up into what they represented so on that same trip He visited president jefferson in washington dc and then interestingly right in the middle of the. Nineteenth century about twenty five years after thomas jefferson passed away we see a rendering of the aztecs on stone being added to the rotunda united states capital building

55:39 So, Alexander von Humboldt is really well respected and revered in Masonic circles and scientific circles. There's places named for him all over the country—the Humboldt current, Humboldt counties in Nevada and California. There are statues of him and other linear arrays of architecture that resemble the National Mall in St Louis and other places but with regard to the hollow earth Early in his career alexander von humboldt speculated that there were hollows at the poles of the earth. Because of the way the magnetosphere behaved so part of history dictated that there would have to be great hollow she didn't suppose that the entire earth was hollow but they're really giant declavered easier cavern like features at each pole

56:32 And this later led to the craze of people beginning to speculate about this in the mid-19th century, The Sims Expedition where this American colonel in the military tried to arrange an expedition to the North Pole to find the hollow earth. And as you stated right at around the same time Jules Verne wrote about all this in fiction Even after a practical scientist like von humboldt already speculated this to be true so it's interesting that as we go along even see lots of connections between henry wadsworth longfellow. And what's going on at the newport tower how lot of people believe the newport tower is of norse origins but i researched long fellow i found that he was part of this group

57:23 What's known as the norwegian romantic nationalist movement that was actually promoting all of these concepts. that the Vikings had built the Newport Tower, later leading us to the Kensington Runestone. This was in an era of history prior to them even knowing that Lansall Meadows Viking site in Newfoundland even existed but what they did know from the Norse sagas is there had been a settlement somewhere so these men kept trying to say it was where Boston was today For their own political reason some of them slightly racist and not giving columbus credit wanting to believe. Scandinavian people it actually lived in new england before but what i found was that in longfellow's personal notes,

58:15 He was speculating about how to promote this idea before they even had proof of it or before even his friend, Christian Raffin had wrote this in an academic manner. He was even close friends with the first man to write this up as a serious speculation from an anthropologist or historian and he was also friends with the man named Old Bull And that's spelled like ole bull so thats kind of a good sense of humor who is the famous. Norwegian violinist who even tried to start a norwegian colony in pennsylvania, in the mid 19th century at the time of long fellow and when poe were alive as well

58:59 Show me all of these connections to people who actually for their own reasons were promoting these things in a delay is his real belief in the new port tower being north because he was. scheming to come up with a way to make people believe this before anyone even speculated that was true before so. Yes people like po is really interesting too he has a few works one of them known as your ego, which is totally enigmatic people insist there's codes in everything where he even writes about sir francis bacon time based for texas

59:39 Send things like that that lead us into the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century use that a lot of people have a john cocktail nicolas rohrich can manly p hall. that these places actually had time based vortex is associated with them in which they could quote travel back in time yeah i love exploring that idea that. These writers who are just connected to secret societies of parsed out some of these ideas and their works or the legends and that time for text one, is another one it's related to themes like lay lines on the concept of energy grid but this possibility of

1:00:18 i guess maybe today we call it multi dimensional space or something outside of time but secret locations that are just off the map. Sure and really one way you can look at it i'm not disputing those things are possible, Once you expose yourself to all of these historical concepts in depth with regard to these people and try to follow the initiation out a little bit, you have entered a figurative other dimension. Because this information that your learned has now changed your whole view of the world in many ways. Now this is the way things really work

1:00:58 You are in a not literal but figurative different dimension. Of time you know the kind of science fiction view of it were actually travel back in time i haven't found any accounts that one hundred percent say that's true its all inferred, and kinda been belich through these writers and the way they presented it in their work as well. I'm not saying thats not possible but once your initiated it does change you not that i have been but i can see Where if you are initiated into solving these mysteries and you finally follow them out to the end that your point of view is changed in many ways that does speak to a dimension yeah, add to talk about these things showing up in more modern film same kind of parallels with just filmmakers who might be connected.

1:01:48 When we were talking before you mentioned Roman Polanski's The Ninth Gate, which is pretty on the nose for what we're talking about earlier. But then Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris which really is about a time vortex to a bar outside of time where famous authors and artists from the past who would be probably initiated are hanging out! Right And of course both of these directors have those unsavory preferences for children too but maybe that's just a coincidence but this sort of thing Privileged artists using material from the mysteries apparently it's still going on I think you're right the ninth gate in particular when I saw it. I mentioned earlier this mystery at sterling castle where the book of symbols they use symbols From this book with poetry and it and certain symbols in each page is a little mystery in enough its own And that's kind of what they're showing you

1:02:42 In the movie is missing pages that they were finding in different editions of the book had different actions in it so i was amazed to find that still another book of symbols. Is used in a mystery and williamsburg virginia with symbols on headstones at the bruton parish church yard, Where another bacon's vault is supposed to be hidden so it's another similar story. Do the one that some people think is going on at oak island or other places with a vault of sir francis bacon papers stashed away, so i was amazed to see that concept being used in a movie like that

1:03:20 In the ninth gate it's kind of interesting that they show. The more modern sect of it that resembles eyes wide shut yeah in the movie the ninth gate a depicted them as being a bunch of bumbling amateurs, hey really weren't initiating themselves if they had got lost on this side track of BS and leading them to whatever the true meaning of those symbols in the book were Which we saw how that worked out at the end i will ruin it for everybody but in a midnight in paris really blew my mind because it closely resembles. The work of a woman named patrice chaplin and she was once married to the son of charlie chaplin famous actor,

1:04:06 And she had an experience as a young lady in this city, in Catalonia probably about 80 or 90 kilometers south of Rain le Chateau. In which she insisted that father Saniere had visited there She saw Jean Cocteau there was a tour a magdala there just like there's the tour Magdala at rain le chateau And she describes the time travel portion of this in association with what she experienced as a young person and just witnessed. She didn't take part in it or anything, but after having read her work and then seeing Midnight In Paris, it was obvious that they were talking about the same thing. There was a belief at this early time during the era of Manly P. Hall

1:04:55 Which is really interesting because his wife was the first one to expose this mystery in Williamsburg that I was telling you of, that used a book of symbols. These kind of things were in vogue Somebody was likely aware of this from the time these things were actually used That this information Is passed down whether through family members or some sort of organization similar to Freemasonry A lot of these wealthier royal and elite families do have family fraternities that work like secret societies where only members of their family are involved. And you do see that manifesting themselves, like a part of these arrays of architecture, like the National Mall and the International Peace Garden or the Axie Storique in Paris are places where all the offices of the state are arranged in line with

1:05:50 And even the major business districts of the cities in which they're located. So a lot of this is centered around you know if i locate my business here other people will recognize on me no, where it's just maybe they do believe in power like remote viewing or that there some sort of energy from back to the Greek and Roman times where that may have originated, that there is a belief like that similar to astrology and beliefs people have in mysticism. Would leave people to believe that this is a good place that blesses their enterprise in a good place to be. And also displays your knowledge of that this is what's going on and this is the way it works. I think corporate logos are another way to express that little bit sure, of course not as many people read anymore back in the seventeenth and eighteenth century the average person was a little more literate

1:06:47 Today that same person would probably be looking at the internet more listening to music more and watching movies. As opposed to reading so all of these symbolic aspects have now been transferred over to those medias, not too much writing anymore though it's still there if you look at somebody like dan brown amazing i never read any of his books before I started doing this but every one of them involves a quest Where the clues are followed to a certain and that was predetermined in design i can do vinci code for instance. Right it is there he was smart enough to figure this out presented an entertaining way,

1:07:32 Wow man, well you are just a wealth of information. That pretty much brings us to the finish line an amazing body of work it requires the restoration so much context is very impressive and you also do a lot of video presentations a lot more writing on the blog tell people I dig further into this stuff you got going on or what's gonna be your next work Will she really please look at the videos cuz that helps you to visualize the alignment that i'm talking about in the book so that's on the court lindahl channel and youtube, then my blog survival cell dot blog spot dot com has some other articles that are in the book. Make some other addendums day information i found after i published a book that you might enjoy

1:08:16 But really i'm kinda taking it easy right now. I put out three books in the last two years some kind of just sitting back and researching and trying to do some things like a need to visit the library of congress to solve the bill treasure that i'm gonna try to do, And think i'm gonna wait a little bit longer to write the next book because i was published my books too soon and then end up finding great deal more afterwards so that's frustrating someone be a little more patient this time right there is never an end of the learning process. Get burn out sometimes you need to take a break in,

1:08:55 I'm spending more time with my wife and outdoors and everything. Well, cheers to that! Yeah. Well big thanks again for being here and for the copy of the book really enjoyed it plenty of mysteries in the world do unravel and i'm glad you're on The Case take care man Thanks for having me I really appreciate it Greg always be listening your show is very entertaining one of the best ones out there Sweet Arcadian Knights, Court Lindahl good people of the internet. Court Lindahl returning to quote one of the best ones out there Kind words seriously and I have a ton of appreciation for the work court does too

1:09:34 He's very good at recognizing the strangeness in the stories, like the inner earth stuff for example and saying well if you wanted to make a case for it there is A B & C. I think it might be more of an overlay of myth but hey who knows? And that's really a fine approach from me I really liked seeing this thread too of intelligence assets being involved in entertainment, hearing things like that Poe stuff was totally new to me. It's a certain time depth where we don't talk about those kind of agents but it makes sense. The Oak Island stuff too and in weird way I feel better about the Hollow Earth

1:10:09 I think that's why Hollow Earth stuff is parsed out in books like Eddordfa. I think the goddamn Nazis knew about it, and they went underground and then as i saw on some old black-and-white archival footage a tribe was found in northern Brazil that was white skinned and they were referred to as the Akakor They said their parents' generation were Germans who had escaped and they were growing up underground. They said they wanted to see the surface world, so they emerged in Brazil and set up a small camp then were later discovered by explorers I think it makes sense And it makes very little sense that life would only exist on the outside crust of this big massive thing

1:10:51 Even if it is just tunnels and layers like the moho layer, which is a sponge-like layer deeper down into the crust It's about 20 miles down. So there's big openings there I don't know but I can make a lot of these pieces fit when I'm motivated enough But this is just a fun show all around Quartz a good dude doing really interesting in high level work He'll go down the weird roads, but he's got a basis for it And he makes a really interesting point about someone like Laura Eisenhower, who I always thought was weird. She is on the conspiracy circuit talking UFOs and has been for years. I sort of just dismissed her but from the perspective of bloodlines and club members putting certain far out narratives into culture maybe she's literally playing that same type of role silly as it seems

1:11:40 We've considered more than once the different ways it seems that people were conditioned to feel about UFOs. Who knows what they really are or if there's even one answer, but manipulation was in play big time. Oak Island though...really fun story and we've never been able to get into it in such depth!
