Thanks.
The discovery by CRICHTON E M MILLER is an absolute trip. The guy figured out that the cross, in particular the cross as depicted by the celtics, is in fact a highly accurate navigational device. The device makes navigation to the new world a cake walk. I for one cannot beleive that this highly sophisticated, yet simple, navigational/surveying instrument has been right in front of our very eyes for millenium. If only the Greeks and other civilization had realized what the cross really depicted. Below is a summary of a book the guy wrote.
This artifact is capable of measuring all angles possible and coupled with sufficient astronomical knowledge it reveals all the mysteries of the ancients, how they kept time and measured the stars, sun, moon, planets and sailed the oceans of the world.
But it goes further than that, exposing the Ancient’s fundamental spirituality and understanding of the world, nature and the universe.
Crichton has discovered and published this rich source of understanding in his book “The Golden Thread of Time” ISBN 0-9541639-0-7.
Many of these revelations have never been seen by the public before and are a must for those who seek truth and understanding.
Crichton Miller applied for a patent on the cross and plumb line in 1998 and the patent was finally granted in November 2000 as an astronomical, surveying and navigational instrument by The British Patent Office.
The result of this patent is the instrument you see below, as you can see it is a faithful representation of the Celtic cross in (Figure 1).
Figure 3
This resurrected version of the cross is made so that modern people may understand it and compare it with the cross (in figure 1) or with any Celtic cross in any part of the world. The working cross is marked in degrees round the edge and the wheel spins freely on a hub. The cross arms are perforated with viewing holes to allow the observer to read the angles and the bottom of the wheel is weighted so that it will always point to the center of the earth.
The scale around the outer edge of the wheel runs from 0 degrees at the bottom to 90 degrees clockwise and anti clockwise so that horizontal measurements can be taken in any direction through the viewing holes.
You can see the advantages of this instrument immediately when you look at the photograph below of an observer measuring the angle of the sun as it rises in the east at dawn. As the world spins round, the sun appears to rise from the horizon and its angle of ascent may be read from the scale directly.
This angle changes, as the season’s progress throughout the year and time and place may be determined from the results of observing stars, planets and constellations

Crichton considers himself fortunate to have discovered the gift of the cross to pass on to his fellow man. The cross should be completely understood by as many as possible, for it was the foundation of the very roots of ancient Civilization, wisdom and understanding. Crichton believes that, in these current, dangerous and confused times, we could do well trying to understand the deeper knowledge of our ancestors and apply some of it to our present world.
