Donald Trump pastor was a 33° Freemason. His name is Norman Vincent Peale .
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Vincent_PealeAlso the Queen's chamber in the great Pyramid is the same cordinance as the speed of light.
Another very strange Great Pyramid “coincidence” related to the speed of light was discovered by John Charles Webb Jr. :
Precise latitude of the centre of the Grand Gallery (inside GP) is
29° 58′ 45.28″ N = 29.9792458° N
The speed of light in vacuum, usually denoted by c, is a universal physical constant important in many areas of physics ( 299,792,458 metres /s ).

You lost me at "cordinance", which I'm not convinced is even a word.

Correction.. coordinates. I don't use spell check. I'm surprised I spell as well as I do. It's still interesting though. Like I said I could add to this thread all day.

Cool. The Egyptians invented latitude and longitude based on an Geoid Earth.

And used the metric system....
Does 186,282 miles per second fit in anywhere?
More accurately, does 570,184,904 cubits per second work? Did they use seconds? Damn....

It is an interesting coincidence that the Moon should so nearly perfectly blot out the Sun, since there is really no physical reason why this has be the case. The Moon happens to be about 400 times smaller than the Sun, but the Sun happens to be about 400 times further from the Earth than the Moon is.

The Egyptian obelisk in the center of St.Peters Square was originally from Heliopolis. Later transported by the orders of Caligula to Rome standing in the Vatican Circus. It now representative of a giant sun dial. It's also representative of the heliocentric theory. At its base was supposed to be 4 messages that would have Hermetic meaning but was denied by the Catholicism.

Herme, the root word (get it) was to do with willies. Every roman household had hermes, exaggerated penis statues/carvings, that people would rub for luck amongst other rites. Not like the catholics to not like them some dick, maybe has to be attached to an altar boy?

Hermes Trismegistus may be a representation of the syncretic combination of the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian god Thoth.[1] Greeks in Hellenistic Egypt recognized the equivalence of Hermes and Thoth.[2] Consequently, the two gods were worshiped as one, in what had been the Temple of Thoth in Khemnu, which the Greeks called Hermopolis.[3]

Also known as three times great. The foreteller of Christianity. Or a prophet from Atlantis.

http://www.historytoday.com/david-wootton/brief-history-factsDavid Hume (1711-76) was the first ‘philosopher of the fact’. Hume argued that facts belonged in a separate category from ‘necessary truths’. It is necessarily true, for example, that all the angles of a triangle add up to two right angles. Facts, on the contrary, are contingent rather than necessary: that is, they could be otherwise. My name is ‘David’. My parents could have called me ‘John’, so it is a fact that I am called David. That facts are true is their most peculiar feature. You can have alternative theories and hypotheses, but not alternative facts. Facts that are successfully disputed cease to be facts, while theories that are successfully disputed continue to be theories.

The letter J wasn't invented until about the 1600's. This means that Jesus was never his real name. It's Yeshua. In Greek it was Iesous. The first King James Versions no J written in it.

It's an empirical truth.
