Engineering in Earth-Heaven Cultures: The Zodiac Civilization

05/01/2012 6:02 AM

Long ago, in early Earth or in our far Heavens, the first Zodiac City was born. ... perhaps founded in ancient Atlantis, early Sumeria, Egypt, France, or even in Great Britain? Where do we find remnants of such cities or urban-rural township regions? Such conscious circular plans vary greatly in size - with diameters from 6-20+ miles. What can we learn by considering their development, including surveying, creation of earthworks, ability to move and sculpt landscapes, creation of art-designed laneways, formation of giant effigies of people, dogs, and all the various zodiac creatures and symbols?

Have you considered particular areas of known Zodiacs from an engineering perspective, to discover how they raised "tors" as artifical hills, etc.?

Various authors have published studies on terrestrial zodiacs, from mainly a poetical or mythological perspective, as designed on revered classical myths, such as "King Arthur's Avalon", "The epic of Gilgamesh" "Theseus and the Cretan Minotaur", etc. We know that the Avalon tradition in the Zodiac Circular pattern about Britain's Glastonbury is widely discussed by John Michell, Richard Leviton, Mary Caine, Katherine E. Maltwood, Richard Eisler, etc., but there are lesser known studies, which consider portions of these patterns, to ponder known Earthworks which occupy the area of a giant effigy or portion thereof, such as a dog's nose, tongue, paw, etc.

Have you explored such areas from an engineer's viewpoint, and could give this topic some serious attention, to lend support for future circular cities yet to be designed.

Yowza! Look at that turkey roaster.

What do you suppose, about 5,000 watts and a couple of hours? Room heater as well. Oh, well, electricity is used to be cheap.

Unless Warren Buffet (or someone with his means) decides to build a new city from scratch in the desert (Vegas), there will probably be no "future circular cities".

Cities are usually a representation of earlier settlements, which were based on navigable waterways, sea ports, etc. Any new growth is less likely to come in the form of "new circular cities" and more in the form of chaotic urban sprawl.
