1776, 2001 and W.D. Gann's grave

Just a note I found interesting.  In researching the grave of William Delbert Gann, which, as many know, is located in the historic Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, I found that a portion of the Cemetery was the site of the first battle of the American Revolution fought after the its Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776:

In The Tunnel Thru the Air, Mr. Gann chooses August 30, 1932 as the fictional date where the hero, Robert Gordon, convenes the 'Peace Conference of the World' and declares the creation of the 'United Kingdom of the World.'

On August 27, 1776 New York was, arguably, the site of the first battle of a war resulting in the separation of the American Colony from its parent (Britain).  In contrast, on August 30, 1932, New York was the site of the completion of a war and the consolidation of all countries of the world to form a new country.

A war begins and a country is dissolved.  A war ends and a country is created.  Contrived and fictional, of course.  Perhaps a theme of opposites similar to that found in the 6th Prophecy (see that series of essays)?  Again, cycle beginnings and endings as opposites?

Now perhaps the truth is stranger than fiction.  It might be noted that the Battle of Brooklyn began with General William Howe's landing British forces on Long Island on August 22, 1776 and ended with the British having captured the New York City on September 15, 1776 (see History.com HERE).  If you calculate the time between September 15, 1776 and the attack on New York's Twin Towers, you find that it is 82177 days or 224.99 years.  If you use the midpoint of the 24-day Battle or Tuesday September 3, 1776 then it would be 82,187 days or 225.02 years to the day the Towers were destroyed…Tuesday September 11, 2001.  [Correction made May 25]

Perhaps two cycles in the history of the United States each began on September 3, 1776 and September 11, 2001?

Have an enjoyable, safe and reverent Memorial Day.

  1. These May posts are very interesting, Jim. Your work and willingness to share it is appreciated.

    Have you considered that there was a Peace Conference (Paris) on 9/3/1776? That was 7 years and 7 days after the 8/27 battle.

    In 1932, Gann describes a GIGANTIC battle. From the date of that battle to his peace conference was 83 days. Jupiter is GIGANTIC! I do see the 69 years that you mentioned, though that would mean a different calendar start date than June 8. The 'coincidence' of 10:10 pm is interesting, though.

  2. Hi Kay,

    I didn't catch your post this last summer. Thanks for reading by the way.

    In TTTTA, the Battles of New York and Washington are referred to as if they were one and the same (same date). In 2001, they were, indeed, on the same date. I meant to calculate from July 4, 1932 the 69 years and 69 days and then take the opposite of day (in 2001) as opposed to night (in 1932). With those parameters, you're at 9/11/2001 at 8am. Muhammad Ata departed Logan airport at 7:59am and that was the start of the attack in 2001. In 1932, Robert Gordon overhears the Allied Enemy announcing their departure at 8pm. Again, the opposite of night and day gets you to within 1 minute.

    I apologize if I stated incorrectly that the date of the New York battle was the beginning date for calculating the 69 years and 69 days.

    Thanks for considering,

    Jim
