<description><![CDATA[MAYAN ROSSLYN NEW WORLD CONNECTION

NEWS: Could the Da Vinci code continue too the Mayan civilization, the Rosslyn chapel gives plausible clues of a Mayan connection. One of the clues that mystifies me is the depiction of corn and aloe in the Rosslyn chapel, these are prominent plants in the new world. With these Rosslyn plant clues I searched for more possible clues in the meso civilizations, Mayan architectural art and block writing gave some indication that there maybe a relation in art and block writing. 


The Mayan art of beings are mostly Mayans in a crouching positions, in similarities the Rosslyn chapels being images are in somewhat in a crouching perched position. 


The Rosslyn chapels ceiling block writing does show the same concept depiction of putting there illustrations in square area's as to the Mayan block writing. May this be a coincidence or maybe this is what culture the author of the Rosslyn church was incorporating into the the chapel's portraits as a story of it's souls it reached out to, with similar knowledge. The Rosslyn chapel does have different images that periodical show up all over the Rosslyn church, this gives reason the church is in story illustration rather in code. It is well known that the Sinclair's travel to the America's and they were associated with the Rosslyn church. These Rosslyn clues may give clues on just how far the Sinclair's voyaged along the America's eastern seaboard and who they may of interacted with, the Rosslyn chapel perhaps is a partial travel monument, and the code to Rosslyn's chapel is possibly in the Sinclair's new world foes. 

The theory continues... http://oakislandmoneypitblogspotcom.blogspot.com/

<description><![CDATA[‘Rosslyn Chapel Revealed’ is unique in exploring the landscape of Midlothian in depth — the geology, the flora and fauna, illustrated by fascinating antique maps. It was this landscape that supplied the pink, yellow and grey stone for Rosslyn Chapel, cut from the ancient wildernesses of Roslin Glen.

‘Rosslyn Chapel Revealed’ explains in detail what few have done before — the daily life of the priests and choirboys at Rosslyn Chapel, one of 40 collegiate churches set up as powerhouses of prayer and song — some of the music still happily preserved in major libraries across Europe.

‘Rosslyn Chapel Revealed’ makes clear the central role of the Scots scholar Fr Richard Augustine Hay, related to the Sinclair by marriage, and involved in the strange but brief years around 1688 when King James VII set up a Roman Catholic Chapel Royal at Holyrood, a printing-press and a school and Fr Hay took part in the services.

‘Rosslyn Chapel Revealed’ explores the landscape of Midlothian from Temple village (home of glass artist and clarsach player Alison Kinnaird and folk musician Robin Morton, and once home to painter Sir William Gillies and author George Scott-Moncrieff), to Soutra Aisle and the unique ecumenical community of the Transfiguration.

‘Rosslyn Chapel Revealed’ uncovers the role of Sir Walter Scott in increasing the Chapel’s reputation for mystery and the ways in which successive poets, painters and photographers celebrated the extraordinary design of the Chapel.

‘Rosslyn Chapel Revealed’ ends with a new mystery, a challenge to its readers to uncover the truth behind an act of sacrilege committed in the Chapel in the 1470s, the answer to which lies in the Secret Vatican Archives in Rome.

Among the myths ‘Rosslyn Chapel Revealed’ lays to rest are:

•	The Apprentice Pillar (also known as the ‘Prince’s Pillar) is a story found at a number of other medieval churches in Britain and the Continent. Interviews with 3 working stonemasons and an apprentice mason ]]></description>
