Did you know that the Manitoba Legislative Building was designed as a replica of the ancient Temple of Solomon? Here are some of the design features that reveal this to us There are Sphynxes that flank either side of the triangle over the main entrance, On the chest of each are hieroglyphics beckoning the sun god to give life to something in the building while, in the centre, is the symbol of Pharaoh Thutmose III. The pharaoh lived 3,500 years ago and is widely believed to be the founder of Freemasonry. In virtually every room in the building you can find the numbers five, eight and 13. The repetition of five, eight and 13 is a reference to the famous sequence in math — the Fibonacci series where the two previous numbers add up to the third. In the ancient world, this series of numbers geometrically was considered a proportion in the mind of God," "So by replicating that proportion on Earth, you are basically drawing upon God's heavenly power into the design of things. there are 13 stairs in the 3 flights of the main interior staircase, 13 stones in the archway, 13 lights in every hallway and the bison, flanking the steps, are each precisely 12 ft in length The black star on the main floor of the building, and the focal point of the rotunda beneath the dome, has eight points and is 13 feet across. . • The Pool of the Black Star - a room beneath the Rotunda, with a black star on the floor-is built in such a way that if you stand dead-centre of the star in the middle of the room and whisper, anyone else in the room can hear you as clearly as if you were speaking right beside them. The number 666 also appears throughout the building. The length and width of the building itself are both 666 feet. The room that houses the grand staircase in the middle of the building is exactly 66.6 feet in width and 66.6 feet in length. • There's a depiction of the Ark of the Covenant - supposedly where Moses placed the 10 Commandments (see Raiders of the Lost Ark…...) on the roof above the East Entrance. It has been sealed and requests to open the Ark have always been denied. Who knows what it may contain! And the famous Golden Boy on top of the legislative building? He’s actually Hermes! Hermes was a guide of souls and he knew the secrets about the mysteries of the world — alchemy, numbers, astrology and geometry," According to Winnipegger, Dr. Frank Albo, who has written a book about the Manitoba Legislature entitled "The Hermetic Code: Unlocking One of Manitoba's Greatest Secrets" the Manitoba Legislature was built according to the layout of the ancient Temple of Solomon. It’s no surprise that many different ghosts have been spotted wandering the halls of the Leg - with the hallway to the right of the grand stairway seeing the most activity. Nightly "meetings" can be heard as you walk down the hall, even though there's no one else around. There's also a ghost in a top hat that has been seen descending the staircase and other ghosts in 1900 garb who have been witnessed in a heated debate. Is it any wonder that the Manitoba Legislative building, the building designed as a Temple, has a number of spirits that even death hasn't deterred from showing up for meetings? #winnipeg #winnipegtiktok #winnipeghistory #templeofsolomon #masons #haunted - @downtown_peg
