The Ancient City

T.L.Subash Chandira Bose, Sthapathi V.Raman and Jack Andrews.

We find the dimensions of the entire city including the cultivation lands; the residential Area and the temple are indicated in various Verses in book of Ezekiel. We tabulate the same as shown below.

Description	East	West	North	South	Area
Entire City	25,000	25,000	25,000	25,000	6250,00,000
City with Space around	5000	5000	5000	5000	250,00,000

Temple	500	500	500	500	2,50,000

The entire city was established according to ancient architecture of “Nagarsthabanam” City/Town Plan and based on various diagrams. The total area was divided into small parts and the area required for cultivation land, city, free space and temple was allotted accordingly. The free space around the temple included as shown in the below chart.

In Mayamata, Chapter- 7 diagrams: The ancient architecture of dividing into selected number of parts; 25 (diagram:1 and 4), 400(diagram: 2), 81(diagram: 3), and 16 (diagram: 4 top), parts are Upapitha, Suryavisala, Paramasayin and Mahapitha diagrams respectively. The diagram five shows the three courts of the temple with its free space all around. N.B: The diagrams shown below are not to scale

There may be some other meaning in the given dimensions so; we would like to refer a verse in Srimad-Bhagavatam (3.11.41): “The layers of elements covering the universe are each ten times thicker than the one before, and all the universe clustered together appears like atom in huge combination”.

In the above diagrams we have taken the 10 layers and studied the formation of city, Temple and inner court including the chamber of Holy of Holy (20x20). In the holy of holy chamber the first square (10x10) with it four cardinal directions and four parts form the cross symbol with in a square/circle. It shall be further discussed later part of the article.

The square represents the heaven and the circle represents the earth. The combination of squares and circles forms an image of cross or + (plus) mark. The cross is the first symbol, which denotes the (East. South, west and North) four directions in the ancient sacred geometry of marking the cardinal directions. It is also represents ancient numeral number one. The one is “KA” in Ancient Tamil Language. When we studied various ancient manuscripts and we are surprised to know that “KA” is the first number. “The One” in ancient number system and also represents unity. Since it is part of all numbers it represents the ideal symbol of deity. It is the origin, the elementary. Interestingly we find in Mayamata, Diagrams - Chapter: 7. 57, the word “Ka” represents “The Supreme”. (Part-3 shall be continued)
