Vincent,
if i remember correctly, one of the stones was indeed
moved,but removed? Perhaps, but in that case, i am fairly confident there are either records of its original position or visible markings on the ground where it was, or both. In fact, i think that was what contributed to the 2ft difference in the different measurements taken. But it's been a while since i've been thinking about this, perhaps Dave can fill us in with the correct information
Dave,
I haven't really got anything(yet) apart from a vague speculation; we all know about FB and his codes, there are rumours FB didn't die in the spring of 1626, other tombs and gravestones have proven(?) to hold clues before,and i was just wondering if someone with an eye for details had taken a closer look at FB's tomb. It's plaque is written in latin, so i didn't get much out of that, at least; the bad image of it that i've seen shows that there are no obvious irregularities, although i'm far from certain. Can't find much on the net, apart from some people being convinced FB created 144 treasure-caches all over NorthAmerica, and that Queen Elizabeth I was his mother :p
EDIT:
From Wikipedia: "Malkuth means Kingdom. It is associated with the realm of matter/earth and relates to the physical world, the planets and the solar system." Francis Bacons picture is underlined by the description
The Uncrowned King in his book
Sylva Sylvarum: Or a Natural History in Ten Centuries,released after his death by his "first and last chaplain" Dr. W.Rawley. What star and/or starsign was it that corresponds to Malkuth and the Tree of Life? If the Virgo and/or Libra has any connection here, i might be on to something interesting :p
Knowledge is like jam; the less you have of it, the more you spread it around.
