THE ARK, NOAH'S MISHKAN, THE TABERNACLE
The sanctuary of the ark (in Hebrew mishkan ha`eduth, "the tabernacle of revelation"), i.e., the original receptacle in which lay the ark of testimony, the chest in which it is alleged that the tablets containing the inscriptions of the decalog were placed, can according to Clemens Alexandrinus, be traced to Egypt for meaning. I quote, "In the Egyptian temples, an immense curtain separates the tabernacle from the place of the congregation, the Jews had the same. In both, the curtain was drawn over five pillars (the Pentacle) symbolizing our five senses and five Root-races esoterically, while the four colors of the curtain represented the four cardinal points and the four terrestrial elements. The whole was an allegorical symbol."
So what was the origin and meaning of the square tabernacle raised by Moses in the wilderness, 'Thou shalt make an hanging . . . of blue, purple, and scarlet' and 'five pillars of shittim wood for the hanging . . . four brazen rings in the four corners thereof . . . boards of fine wood for the four sides, North, South, West, and East . . . of the Tabernacle . . . with Cherubims of cunning work." (Exodus, Ch. xxvi, xxvii.) The square form of the Tabernacle meant just the same thing as it still means, to this day, in the exoteric worship of the Chinese and Tibetans -- the four cardinal points signifying that which the four sides of the pyramids, obelisks, and other such square erections mean.
Josephus declares that the Tabernacle pillars are the same as those raised at Tyre to the four Elements, which were placed on pedestals whose four angles faced the four cardinal points: adding that 'the angles of the pedestals had equally the four figures of the Zodiac' on them, which represented the same orientation (Antiquites I, VIII, ch. xxii). The sacred chest or receptacle in which is supposed to resides either a god or a mystical holy or sacred emblem representing a presence is virtually universal, Clemens tells us that the idea may be traced in the Zoroastrian caves, in the rock-cut temples of India, as in all the sacred square buildings of antiquity that have survived to this day.
Since we are told by the original Navel Architect that god instructed him to build the first Ark that eventually landed in Armenia.
An early culture in the Armenian Highland and surrounding areas—the Kura-Araxes culture —is assigned the period of ca. 4000 - 2200 BC , and is believed to have subsequently developed into the Trialeti culture (ca. 2200 - 1500 BC ). Armenians are an Indo-European race.
Mount Ararat, a sacred mountain for the Armenian people, rising in the center of the Armenian Highland as its highest peak, is traditionally considered the landing place of Noah’s Ark. The original Sanskrit word for "ship" is nau and in Armenian is nav. This root has flowered in English into such words as "navy," "nautical," "nausea," etc. This word could very well be the relevant variant of "Noah," the first master shipbuilder.
The original Armenian name for the country was Hayq, later Hayastan, translated as the land of Haik, and consisting of the name Haik and the Persian suffix '-stan' (land). According to legend, Haik was a great-great-grandson of Noah (son of Togarmah, who was a son of Gomer, a son of Noah's son, Yafet), and according to tradition, a forefather of all Armenians. The name Armenia was given to the country by the surrounding states, as it was the name of the strongest tribe living in the historic Armenian lands, who called themselves Armens. It is traditionally derived from Aramanaki from Aram (the great-grandson of Haik's great-grandson, and another leader who is, according to Armenian tradition, an ancestor of all Armenians).
The Tabernacle is known in Hebrew as the Mishkan ( משכן "Residence" or "Dwelling Place"). It was ment to be a temporary and or a portable dwelling place of the divine. For us on the Indo-European Judeo-Christain path, that would mean starting at the beginning with Noah the naval architect who landed and established the Ark on the Armenian plateau facing south in front of Mt. Ara-Rota, continuing through to the time of Moses and the Hebrew Exodus from Egypt, through to the conquering of the land of Canaan where the elements of the Tabernacle were made part of the final Temple in Jerusalem (round about the 10th century BC) and a thousand years on we have the Tabernacle that Jesus was nailed onto.
NAUTICAL MEASURE: The nautical system of length units is another example of an anthropically scaled natural system. The nautical system divides the circumference of the earth into 360 degrees, with each degree being divided into 60 nautical miles, and each nautical mile being divided into one thousand nautical fathoms. Also, in analogy to the statutory league, a nautical league is defined to be 3 nautical miles.
