A nd the citizens of the New Rome made a statue of the Beast that had risen up out of the sea.

A nd they built a fountain and crafted figures of two heralds announcing the glorious coming of the Beast, and sculpted the image of an angry sea-spitting serpent which accompanied the Beast and from which he drew his fearsome power.

A nd they set the statue of the Beast and the fountain before the colossal Library in which they deposited the stores of wisdom they had accumulated.

A nd they fashioned a likeness of the Woman who was wife of the Beast and they placed it atop the dome of their Capitol building.

A nd they laid out the streets in front of their Capitol in the form of a star, to honor the Woman and inspire devotion to the Beast.

A nd they erected a towering obelisk Monument in the midst thereof, which represents the phallus of the beast and his generative powers and his seed which was able to impregnate the woman.

A nd the proud citizens of the Great City celebrated their awesome victory and marked the glorious founding of the New Order of the Ages.

A nd the whole world plunged into darkness.

INTRODUCTION

Architecture remained a chosen instrument for the perpetuation of the Grand Designthe building of the perfect world.

Manly P. Hall, 33

The Secret Destiny of America

A rchitecture is prophecyArchitecture is destinyProphetic destiny! That is the soul-stirring discovery the reader finds revealed in the pages of Mysterious Monuments.

This is no ordinary book. But then, the incredible secrets it unveils are not easily comprehended by ordinary men and women. The stunning realization that there is, in fact, an arcane group of global conspirators, whose monumental works of architecture are intended to advance a terrible dark and mysterious ancient religion, is breathtaking, indeed. Who can believe it? Who wants to accept it?

What I document here is a simple, yet profoundeven shockingtruth. The annals of history prove that the greatest of empires is distinguished by its architecture and monuments. Babylon had its fabulous hanging gardens and its fabled Tower of Babel. The Pharaoic dynasties of Egypt to this day are memorialized by the Great Pyramid and the sun-ascendant obelisk. Greece is remembered for its astonishing marble and stone temples, statues, thrones, and altars built in honor of astrologically influenced gods and goddesses who traversed the heavens, were observed riding chariots in the starry skies and populated the depths of the chaotic seas and fiery underworld.

Rome, too, adopted a pantheon of astrological deities and presences, and built the most beautiful architecture in their honor.

Meso-America cannot be forgotten, for the pyramids and other monuments of the Aztecs, Toltecs, Incas, and Mayans echoed the empires and civilizations of their Middle Eastern and Mediterranean counterparts. So, too, did the mysterious stone temples of the Druids and the Celts in Gaul, Ireland, and throughout the British Isles. They left us Stonehenge, Glastonbury, and many other impressive memorials.

In each of these great empires, architecture was the vehicle chosen to perpetuate the Mystery teachings of the reigning priesthood. This priesthood comprised an elite which superintended both the political and the religious spheres of the social life of the people.

In every case, it was the elitethough only a tiny band, cadre, or groupwho chose the religious dogma that was to be affirmed and practiced by the masses. These elite few invariably perceived of themselves as possessing a divine nature. Their rule, according to their own interpretation, was not accidental but all part of a divine plan which they alluded to in glowing terms as the Grand Design.

The empire and civilization over which they held sway was thus seen to have a divine destiny: A prophetic destiny.

Architecture, therefore, was understood to have a glorious and grandiose purpose. The monuments and buildings the elite planned and constructed were material proof of a heavenly spiritual vision. Architecture symbolized the unity of the celestial and the terrestrial, the alchemical marriage of heaven and earth.
