Cave Of Kelpius, Philadelphia – Ancient Aliens?
Let’s take a look at this mysterious cave in Philadelphia called the Cave of Kelpius. It is located in the woods and I am going to show you the inside of the cave and some really weird details about its connection to a secret society and even extraterrestrials.
This cave was built by a man called Johannes Kelpius, popularly known as the “Monk of the Ridge”. It is not accurate to label him as just a monk, because even though he was a religious person, he was more of an astronomer and a scientist. He even had a Ph.D. and he was always looking at the sky through a telescope for bizarre arrival. Kelpius was far ahead of his times with his knowledge in technology that common people thought that he was a magician.
Now, if you look at this cave from the outside, you can see that it was built with great care. Once upon a time, it had a nice door because here we can see a rusted door hinge and the other one is broken. It is very dark inside, and if the door was closed it would become pitch black. But when it was built in 1694, it had a fireplace and even a chimney so that Kelpius could perform his experiments alone in this cave. We can see how the roof is arched, and not flat which shows how well constructed this cave is.
Inside, we have an earthen floor but on the walls you can see a cross, an obvious symbol of God. Right next to it is the inverted cross which is a popular symbol of Satan or could mean the cross of Peter as well. You can see other weird symbols and codes painted on the walls. There are no artifacts or anything because most of the belongings of Kelpius were carefully taken away and eventually given to Benjamin Franklin, one of the founding Fathers of the U.S who was also a great astronomer.
So why did Kelpius build a cave here in Philadelphia in the middle of the woods? The story is interesting because Kelpius sailed all the way from Europe in very bad weather, because somehow he was convinced that “A woman from sky” would be landing in Philadelphia. And this prediction was not only based on his astronomical observation, but also the verses in Revelation 12:14 through 12:16. It talks about a woman who would have wings and give birth to a baby son who was destined to rule the world.
So Kelpius reaches Philadelphia with 40 men, who were all college graduates. This big team of astronomers and scientists had been observing the stars and planets and they had some kind of information that the extraterrestrial landing would take place exactly where the cave is now located. As soon as they reached Philadelphia, Kelpius sets up the first astronomical observatory in the Province of Pennsylvania. He used a very sophisticated telescope. These 40 guys even took turns to keep looking at the sky 24 hours a day, because they did not want to miss the quote on quote “Gods” landing here. The telescope that was used by Kelpius was so special, that it is still preserved in the American Philosophical society founded by Benjamin Franklin.
Now, you can see that the name Benjamin Franklin keeps popping up a lot. This is because Benjamin Franklin put a lot of effort into preserving the gadgets used by Kelpius. Why? Because Benjamin Franklin himself was a serious believer in Extraterrestrials and expected that aliens would land on earth sooner or later.
In 1728, in “Articles of Belief” Benjamin Franklin wrote “Man is not the perfect being but one, rather that as there are many Degrees of beings his inferiors, so there are many Degrees of Beings Superior to him.” And he repeatedly shows his belief in Extraterrestrial life and cosmic pluralism in many of his writings. In another book called “Pennsylvania, and the First Nations” he writes about the Sky Woman who descends from heaven and this goes on and on in a lot of his books.
You can see a large marble stone right next to this cave. This was set up by a secret society called the Rosicrucians and it says that Kelpius was the first Rosicrucian to come to the U.S. You can see a lot of interesting symbols in this stone and you can pause the video if you want and read the entire inscription.
But the most intriguing detail about this stone is that it is some kind of a code that can be read only by Rosicrucians. I’ll give you an example: On the top, you can see the words “Cro Maat”. If you Google Cro Maat, you’ll see that it is Egyptian for the words “The Truth Shall Be”. But, the Rosicrucian Society is officially called “The Ancient And Mystical Order Rosae Crucis”. This seems totally irrelevant, but if you reverse the order of these words: “Crucis Rosae Order Mystical And Ancient The” and then take the first letter of every word, you get “Cro Maat”.
