In 2010, Richard Merrick took a family trip to Scotland's Rosslyn
chapel--the enigmatic fifteenth-century temple made famous by Dan
Brown's The Da Vinci Code. Little did he know he was about to embark
upon an intellectual and personal journey that would lead to the
discovery of a real-life lost symbol--one that reveals the connection
between the world's most sacred temples and opens up a treasure trove of
lost science and ancient secrets.
The symbol he discovers--the Venus Blueprint--is based on that planet's
orbital pattern, which takes the shape of a five-pointed star when seen
from Earth. As Merrick digs deeper, he realizes the Venus Blueprint was
an integral part of the design template of some of the most significant
religious architecture around the world--including St. Peter's Basilica
in the Vatican, the Roman Pantheon, the Greek Parthenon, the Temple of
Jerusalem, and the Great Pyramid of Giza, as well as many buildings
designed by the secretive Freemason society.
Upon further examination, Merrick is astounded to discover that temples
designed using the Venus Blueprint are endowed with extraordinary
acoustics that, when supplied with the right tones and frequencies, are
capable of harmonizing with Earth's resonant frequencies and evoking
altered states of consciousness. He then proposes a fascinating idea:
Could it be that the ancients used these harmonics to enhance
entheogenically induced visions--to commune with the divine and liberate
the gods within?
Supported by an impressive array of historical research and scientific
analysis, The Venus Blueprint offers compelling evidence of an ancient
lost culture that was both spiritually and scientifically advanced.
