Big Ben Chimes Stopped, Creating a Mystery
May 27, 2005, BBC News
The cause of the stoppage is unknown, but the hot weather could be to blame. Temperatures in London on Friday reached 31.8C (90 degrees F) and this has been cited as one possible factor for the stoppage.
The clock has only stopped a handful of times since it was completed in 1858. [1+8+5+8=22=4=time]
Snow accumulation on the hands caused it to ring in the New Year 10 minutes late in 1962. [1+9+6+2=18=9]
During the Second World War, despite dozens of attacks by Luftwaffe bombers, the clock kept within one and a half seconds of GMT. Most recently it stopped on 30 April 1997, 24 hours before the general election, and then again three weeks later. The clock's bell is named Big Ben after Sir Benjamin Hall who commissioned it.
Metaphors:
2220, 222 = triple digit which is a power number, which raises the frequency of the number 2 to a higher frequency. 222= 6 = Flower of Life.
An hour-and-a half = 90 minutes, 9-closures, 90 degrees of separation, light bending at a 90 degree angle= all done with mirrors, magic and metaphors.
'Big Ben'! The Alchemy Wheel on the Index Page of Crystalinks and the cover of Sarah and Alexander was created by my friend, Ben Erwin.
