Therefore the « metre » is calculated directly from the size of the earth.

Despite only being officially defined in 1790, the metre was, nevertheless, the unit of measurement used for sacred constructions from before the recorded discovery of the earth’s dimensions. The reason for this is that the measure that became defined as the metre was based on the ancient knowledge of the etheric pattern of the earth rather than its material size. The evidence of this is found in the direct relation between the dimensions of the sacred architecture of Chartres cathedral, which we have seen are based on the metre, and the dimensions of the great pyramid of Cheops. Numerous examples could be given, but one of the most apparent is that the surface area of the square base of the pyramid is exactly a hundred times greater than the surface area of the three tables (d, e, f, Fig 8 page 13) of the cathedral.

The diameter of the earth’s etheric body (Fig 35) can be substituted into the 1790 formula for the metre:

¼ x 1 / phi x 2¹² x 5 x pi x 10³ m

10 x 10⁶

= 1 m

The ancient sacred monuments were constructed as a material expression of the divine pattern. Consequently, they were exactly in proportion to the etheric size of the earth.
