Im not saying that there may not be a town or part of a town that was designed for or for what people thought was harnessing earth energies or to some other plan, but this one does not ring true for me.

these are the reasons, and please feel free to correct me here!

1st thing was that he said

Burrell Street and King Street, meet at a point, like the bottom part of a star, and it is this which alerted me

that 2 streets meet made him think of FM's and ley lines? a little odd but lets carry on.

running vertically, has James Square at the top. The square, of course, is a well-known Masonic symbol, but Burrell street has an eight-sided square at the top, called the Octagon

An 8 sided square? wouldnt that just be...an octogan not a square? not exactly a masonic square, i think that part was maybe a little misunderstood.

Between the two streets is (Masonic) Lodge Street leading into West High Street

Just adding "Masonic" before lodge doesnt making it a masonic street.

The biggest thing that really got me though is this;

If you draw a line between
the points of the set square, and another through the
compasses you will form a six-pointed star. This is the
symbol upon which the town of Crieff has been designed

Why would FM's "edit" the square and compasses just to fit a design when there was already a symbol that matched in use?

6 pointed star? wouldnt that just be the Seal of Solomon? sorry so much with THIS site doesnt ring true or at least not well researched enough to be convincing. more a case of stretching the theories to fit a story the designer wants, especially with this ending statement.

It is now obvious that the Freemasons had a profound knowledge of earth energies and used it to plan towns, cities, churches, cathedrals and burial-grounds in the United Kingdom, carrying their knowledge abroad to the United States, where they built the capital, Washington, and many others.

 Allan and James I am of the same opinion as you both when it mentions America I give up, I dont think there is a town city or village in the world that given time you couldn't form geometrical shapes  from, problem being the only ones they publish is the ones they think tie them to freemasonry.

I do however think that they have a significance in the pre history of the countrys and don't doubt that the ancient brethren were aware of them, Whether they had any use for them though is another matter.

I have seen ones marked out by churches through the South of England but again  a lot of churches were built over ancient sites. A few years back there was some university students doing a study on this in Knightswood in Glasgow to see if they could find anything similar as Knightswood was a Templar encampment.

Apologies to anyone from America, when I say i give up it is because I dont see American markings made by modern buildings as ancient.

Alan, James and Iain,

I had always hoped to progress far enough in the craft that I could ask the lizard people in the pyramids directly about this, and other remarkable discoveries by non-freemasons about what our true background is.

Are you suggesting that my end-game may not be necessary after all?

Yours in fraternal jest,

David

I remember going to see the "prehistoric Pueblo buildings" in Arizona, and finding they were 12th Century - about the same era as the Tower of London.  But of course, being pre-1600, they were in fact prehistoric in a White sense.

I do feel sorry for David, who hasn't yet met the lizard masonic  people who laid out Washington DC, complete with "bunny ears" in appropriate places.  Some of us "Higher Masons" get blamed for it all the time - excuse me, time to shed my skin.

I have no doubt that some of the hidden mysteries of nature and science were known in older times and kept secret from the unworthy.

In principle modern Freemasonry should have inherited such knowledge but in practice it has not. Indeed in the late 19th century Blavatsky stated that no Masonic lodges preserved the true secrets. She did not however say that no Masons preserved the true secrets.

As a minor aside, ley-lines follow the line of least resistance and thereby will spontaneously adapt to follow convenient structures including roads. This allows the esoteric architect to draw suitable energies into specific sites so as to enhance the intended human activity.

A minor example is aligning lodges due east and west.
