For secure sales of my new book "Axis Mundi" on Createspace.com click here: www.createspace.com UPDATE: The stones are part of the N. American Grail mystery. The Guidestones create a line to the sight of a runestone discovery in Canada that is also thought to be he Pillowstone of Jacob by author Louis Buff Parry. This video describes how Thomas Jefferson designed his summer home, Poplar Forest, as an Axis Mundi in the Roman tradition. The angles inferred by the construction of Poplar Forest point to the Georgia Guide Stones as well as the International Peace Garden. The Georgia Guide Stones point to the International Peace Garden as well. Jefferson's Home is also part of an alignment of Jefferson architecture based on the same angle that leads to the Georgia Guide Stones. Jefferson created ley lines using his home as a datum and the directions inferred by its octagonal shape from plan view. Poplar Forest may be a veneration of the Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.. Jefferson may have been a Knights Templar that valued the Dome and the Temple Mount. Jefferson may have collaborated with another Templar Alexander Von Humboldt Prussian Royal Court Geographer.

The summit of the mountain can be reached by a steep walkup trail, which starts near the Confederate Hall and West gate entrance. Alternatively, the summit can be reached by the Skylift. The top of the mountain is a surreal landscape of bare rock and rock pools, and it provides views of the surrounding area including the skyline of downtown Atlanta, often Kennesaw Mountain, and on very clear days even the Appalachian Mountains. On some days, however, the top of the mountain is covered in a heavy fog, and visibility can be limited to only a few feet The mountain's lower slopes are wooded.

A video tour including a narration of the Jefferson Davis capture site in Irwinvile, GA. The place where the civil war ended. For four years, Jefferson Davis had led the Confederate States of America as its President. As the Civil War drew to a close, Davis, fled Richmond, Virginia with his cabinet in early April, 1865 and began a trek southward with federal troops in pursuit; while still weighing the merits of forming a government in exile. Reaching the farming community of Irwinville, GA, on the evening of May 9th, the remaining hopefuls, still assuming that they were a step ahead of their pursuers, set up camp near a creek bed. Early the next morning the camp was awakened by a pop of gunfire and within minutes was surrounded by members of the First Wisconsin and Fourth Michigan cavalries. A member of the Michigan detail quickly apprehended Davis. It was on that spring morning, with his arrest, the government of the Confederate States of America ceased to exist. By the 24th of May, Davis would be indicted for treason against the United States government imprisoned at Fort Monroe in Virginia, until May 1867 when he was released on bail. Today, a monument marks the spot where Davis was arrested. Visitors can tour the 13-acre historic site that includes a museum built by the WPA in 1939, a quarter mile nature trail, picnic tables and a group shelter. The site staff offers guided tours of the capture site along with special presentations by site volunteers and period re <b>...</b>

He returns to Red Ice to discuss his new book, Axis Mundi. We'll discuss how the ancients knew about geomancy and speculate on why important structures were built on specific ley lines, throughout various cultures. Then, Cort talks about his latest research, The Jefferson Ley Line. We'll discuss Thomas Jefferson's use of his home Poplar Forest as a veneration of the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem and its use as an Axis from which ley lines are generated. Cort also talks about why the Georgia Guidestones were built and placed where they are and the true function of the octagonal Powder Magazine in Williamsburg, Virginia. Later, he shares an interesting perspective about the World Trade Center building as a talisman. www.redicecreations.com
