The two-sided square is known among the Masonic brotherhood as the two-sided or Mason's square. It is a very ancient glyph, reading "Builder," and apparently was first used in the crosses symbolizing The Sacred Four when the name of the Great Builders of the Universe was given to them. This glyph was placed within the arm or loop of the cross which symbolized The Four Primary Forces, thus naming them "Builders."
The two-sided square is on many of Niven's Mexican tablets. I am giving a page of examples. In all of these tablets they are referring to the Sacred Four as "The Great Builders of the Universe." Down to the time of Mu's destruction, this symbol was used only to express builders as the name of the Creative Forces.
When, however, thousands of years afterwards, we enter Egypt, we find this symbol with a new vestment and a new name. Here it became the symbol of justice and uprightness.
It has always been thought that this symbol originated in Egypt but it goes back thousands of years beyond the commencement of Egyptian history. The two-sided square is a symbol which is constantly found in the Book of the Dead, also in various Egyptian papyri. All seats where either gods or goddesses are shown sitting are composed of the two-sided square. In the Great Hall of Truth where Osiris is shown sitting in judgment his seat is composed of the two-sided square.
The people of Egypt were taught that this symbol of the two-sided square represented: "Right from wrong, to act on the square, to act rightly, to act justly, to act truthfully according to Maat." To only the initiated and the priesthood of Egypt was the actual meaning of this symbol known. This is shown by the title and symbol of the god Ptah. Two of his titles were "The Divine Artificer" and "The Divine Builder"; accompanying these titles was the two-sided square. In all of the designs of Egyptian Pillars, they symbolize the ancient and true meaning.
THE CUBE.--This symbol is especially interesting to Arch Masons. It is found in the 64th Chapter of the Book of the Dead which is the oldest and one of the most important chapters in this sacred volume, having been written by Thoth at Sais at the commencement of Egyptian history about 14,000 B. C. Translations of it vary somewhat but not materially. The following are some of the translations.
M. Paul Pierret translated one of the sentences from the Turin Copy as: "I am yesterday, and I know tomorrow, I am able to be born again." London Papyrus reads: "I am yesterday, today and tomorrow."
The Ruberic says: "This chapter was found in the city of Khemennu upon a block of iron from the South which had been inlaid with letters of real Lapis Lazuli, under the foot of God during the reign of his majesty the King of the North and the South Men-Kan-Ra triumphant by the royal son Heru-Ta-Ta-f triumphant. He found it when he was journeying about to make an investigation of the temples. One Neskit was with him who was diligent in making him understand it, and he brought it to the King as a wonderful object. When he saw that thing of mystery which had never been seen or looked upon." London Papyrus dating 3733 B. C. The cube is what was found.
M. Paul Pierret's translation from the Turin Papyrus: "This chapter was found out in Hermopolis on a brick of burnt clay, written in blue, under the feet of the god Thoth. The finding out at the time of King Menekara was made by Prince Har-titi-f in this place when he was travelling to inspect the temples. It related in itself a hymn which transported him into ecstasy. He brought it to the King's chariot as soon as he saw what was drawn on the cube--a great mystery."
Papyrus Mes-em-neter dated 4266 B. C.: "This chapter was found in the foundation of a plinth of the shrine of the Divine Hennu Boat by the chief mason in the time of the King of the North and the South Hesepti triumphant, and it is there directed that it shall be recited only by one who is ceremoniously clean and pure."
The Egyptians called them Tat Pillars. They are, however, better known throughout the world as Totem Pillars.
The Egyptians called one pillar "Tat" which in their language means "in strength." The other pillar they called "Tattu" which means "to establish," and when conjoined, "In strength this place is established for ever." The Egyptians considered the figure of a Tat an emblem of strength and stability.
It will be noticed that all of the pillars in this group carry four horizontal bars, in this way symbolizing the Four Great Primary Forces, or, as they were more wont to call them:--"The Four Great Gods."
The entrance to Amenti taken from the papyrus Anana, one of the most beautiful papyri I have ever seen. In Egyptian mythology, two Tats form the entrance to Tattu. Tattu is the gateway to the region where the mortal soul is blended with an immortal spirit and "established in the mysteries of Amenti for ever."
North American Indian: The Indians of our Northwestern states and of western Canada erect Totem Poles and hold ceremonies at their base.
The Maoris of New Zealand: A common practice of the Maoris of New Zealand is to erect Totem Poles or Pillars at the main entrance to their villages.
The Karangs of Java: Forbes in writing says:--"In Java is a tribe called Karangs, supposed to be the descendants of the aborigines of the island, whose old men and youths, four times a year repair secretly, in procession, to a sacred grove in a dense forest, the old men to worship, the youths to see and learn the mysteries of their forefathers. "In this grove are the ruins of terraces laid out in quadrilateral enclosures, the boundaries of which are marked by blocks of stone, or fixed in the ground. Here and there on the terraces are prominent monuments, erect pillars, and especially noteworthy, a pillar erect within a square.
"Here these despised and secluded people follow the rites and customs that have been handed down to them from their forefathers through vastly remote ages (about 12,000 years) repeating with superstitious awe a litany which they do not understand or comprehend. This very litany is found in the Egyptian Book of the Dead."

"Alfred Metraux undertook research on Easter Island in the 1930s, and in 1940 published a monograph on Easter Island which includes a rebuttal of the hypothesis that Easter Island was a remnant of a sunken continent.

If there were fewer problems with plate tectonics that might be credible.

A short space above the lintel of the entrance to the sanctuary of the Temple of Sacred Mysteries at Uxmal, Yucatan, is a cornice that surrounds the whole edifice. On it are sculptured the symbols of mortality which are many times repeated. The emblems of mortality occupied a very prominent place in ancient religion. It was extensively used by the Mayas, Quiches, Egyptians, Hindus and Babylonians and was found in the writings and inscriptions of all ancient lands. The emblems of mortality were used in the ancient religious ceremonies to impress upon the postulant what his end would be and the end of all mortality, and with this end in view impress upon him constantly the necessity of living a life that would bring no terrors when the soul releases itself from the body to pass into the world beyond.
