He seems to be a somewhat territorial idealist. Accused some of stealing his ideas without proper attribution or permission. He also has a subscription based website (Super Torch Ritual) and is sensitive to its contents becoming public. His public website Etemenanki glosses over his subscription based themes. This is really too bad because I think his subscription based information is gold and is information that should belong to everyone. He hasn't actively sought the limelight also.
That said I do believe he is open enough to have a humbled and humored perspective. Some have commented his Etemenanki articles are incoherent, sparse, and self-important / self-deluded. I think this an unfortunate circumstance of perspective.
This thread isn't for discussion of his synchronicity/multicontextual explorations on his public site or about himself. I'd prefer those who have read the book to comment.
The success of this thread dovetails slightly into what the Time Rivers Theory is about here: http://www.rigorousintuition.ca/board/v ... hp?t=25467 . Also the theory (and Goro's multicontextual material) is often reliant on the Golden Ratio or Phi that I brought up in this thread: http://www.rigorousintuition.ca/board/v ... hp?t=25434
There is a website section devoted to the promotion of Goro's book that has additional supporting information and can be found here:
http://www.goroadachi.com/timerivers/
Some of it's promotion claims are dramatic, and I think worded only to pitch as a selling point. The book's promotion claims
We are indeed in the "Matrix." Reality is a "game." And The Time Rivers discloses its blueprint .... The 21st century is specifically pinpointed as the edge of time, when a timegate is to be activated to bring mankind back to the realm of Genesis.
Don't take it too literal. Goro Adachi doesn't, but in a way it is an accurate description.
What would be one of the hardest stumbling blocks to overcome for some on this board is his enthusiasm for Graham Hancock, Richard Hoagland, Robert Temple and Robert Bauval because, sometimes unfairly, these individuals are characterized as inaccurate charlatans here. Often, I think this glosses over the nuggets of gold offered by each of the above (and each does bring SOMETHING). Doing so is at your own loss.
If you've had a reasoned interest in the individuals mentioned, then you'll love this book. If you detest these individuals, then I want to point out that their inclusion in the book is as a supplement to the Time Rivers theory. The theory can and does stand on its own merit. Take it for what's worth.
The Giza Pyramids are a marker. This is why they were likely constructed. Robert Bauval had some realization of this. As above, so below. This is a theme encountered often in the book. As in earth as it is in heaven.
The Giza marker is an anchor and kind of an end to the Nile river. I won't go into the significance of Giza, nor the mysteries of Egypt, as you should already know. The theory puts the Nile river front and center and asks, "what if the Nile, and other rivers and land formations, are intelligently designed?" The implications of this would be enormous.
But the burden of proof is still asked for.
Suppose not just spatially designed but designed to encode other meanings. Where latitudinal markers correspond with points of time in human history. The author explains how he derives the hypothetical dates in his book and what they mean in mythology.
The start of the Nile begins at the equator and "ends" at the giza marker of 30 degrees North. Almost exactly bisecting the line is Khartoum/ Blue Nile confluence. The "Big Bend" found north of the Atbara River confluence is at its pinpoint highest at 33deg East and 19.5deg North.
The author dives into an intriguing mythological exploration of the "Big Bend" found in Egyptian and other mythologies as an important anchor or pinpoint -or turning of the tides. The big bend, like the Big Ben is a time marker for the river (English occultism hat-tip). 19.5deg is discussed ad nauseaum by Richard Hoagland as a "tetrahedral constant".
What's not in the book, strangley, but later added to his supplement website is this:
and more specifically this:
Showing a 33 deg seperation from the end of Lake Victoria to the Nile's "end" / Giza Marker. Furthermore Lake Victoria's near southernmost point happens to be at 33 degrees East. So to Recap, not only is the Nile's big bend at a 33 degree marker, but so is a part of Lake Victoria as well as the degree of seperation from the southernmost tip of Lake Victoria to the Giza marker. That's three seperate 33 degree coincidences drawn up around the Nile river.
This is the origin of the Masonic 33 degrees, ladies and gentlemen. Though strangely, the author makes no mention of this parallel. The first three degrees in freemasonry are seperate, sometimes called the blue or minerval degrees. The 33 degree seperate from the southernmost tip of Lake Victoria to the "redder" Giza anchor takes the 3 deg seperation into account as, so happens, it is a 3 degree SOUTH of the equator seperation until the start of the Nile at the equator.
Interesting in itself, no?
But there's more, a book's worth of more coincidences.
At one point the author overlays the Tigris-Euphrates rivers on top of the Nile's confluence rivers of the Blue Nile and the Atbara.
Coincidently we see perfect intersections at the blue Nile confluence as well as the Atbara confluence. We also see an interception at the big bend's peak at 33 deg East x 19.5 deg North, essentially marking it.
The Tigris and Ephrates even follow the near-to-exact paths of the Blue Nile and Atbara. It's interesting to note that the Giza marker along with the mouth of the Tigris-Ephrates are both aligned on 30 degrees north, suggesting they "go together", along with New Orleans and the mouth of the Mississippi.
The book finds amazing correspondences between the Nile, the Amazon river and the Mississippi. The Mississippi is also a kind of river of time that at it's end pinpoints the early 21st century 2001-2012.
The author finds (but fails to identify) the origin of the cupid myths. You'll put the revelation together when you think of Lake Tana as a heart, and Surius as an "arrow star". The lake even has a "hole" (pg. 24, fig. 1-4)
There is much, much more. The book is not perfectly presented. It's nice there is an included appendix of the methadologies used, map projection anomolies discussed and software used. It's presenation could have been even more encompassing. Had a few spelling errors. Went too much with the 'Planet K and Planet V references when he should have referred to Mars and the astroid belt.
This is an astounding book. I had to read it twice until I could let the concepts settle in my brain because you often "overread" something without taking in its full implications at first. Taken together it is undeniable. You get the feeling that the author is scratching the surface and there is much more for anyone to discover. I meant to go further into the book's details but doing so would be pretty time consuming. I'd like to discuss it with anyone who has read or has questions about it.
290 some pages. Packed full of interesting and amazing observations. Frankly this was, for me, a life changing read and I whole heartily recommend it.
