We humans have built towns, cities, religious monuments, ports, airports, bridges or built roads and in most cases the place has not been chosen in a fortuitous way, but obeying certain needs or requirements. Cities and towns used to settle near rivers, ports in ancient times used to take advantage of natural shelters and current roads, in many cases, follow the paths of old roads. However, beyond these obvious cases, there is a phenomenon known as "Law Lines" and the Line of San Miguel, the mysterious line that connects shrines dedicated to the archangel around the world It seems to be one of them.
The Ley Lines they are those that can be traced uniting places of historical or geographical interest that have a common denominator. Many geographers and historians affirm that in reality they do not exist and that they are just coincidences and that anyone can choose a concept and draw a Law Line about him. Other people, however, are convinced that they really exist and that they can be produced naturally by some kind of underground currents or also obey spiritual lines.
The mysterious San Miguel Line
The line of San Miguel is a law line that connects several monasteries dedicated to San Miguel Arcangel in Europe and the Middle East. The theory that these places were raised following certain guidelines has both defenders and detractors, but visually it is curious and striking the straightness of the line drawn. The San Miguel Line sometimes receives the name of Sword of San Miguel and those who believe in it think that it represents the sword with which the archangel sent the demon back to hell. It is also known as the "Michelic alignment" .
The line that connects the monasteries part of Ireland, from the monastery of Skelling Michael, continues in the United Kingdom, with another sanctuary in the Mount St. Michael of Cornwall. The third in the straight line is Mont Saint Michel in Normandy, France.
The fourth is the Sacra de San Miguel on the top of Mount Pirchiriano in Piedmont. The fifth, also in Italy, is the Temple of San Michele del Gargano which is on a promontory on the Adriatic Sea.
The sixth is in Greece on the small island of Symi, near Rhodes , and it is the Saint Monastero di Taxiarchi Michail and the seventh is on the top of Mount Carmel, in Israel. Other monasteries and churches dedicated to San Miguel are sometimes included in this line, but the seven mentioned are the original ones.
The last detail that seems to affirm that the mysterious San Miguel Line it is not fortuitous that it is perfectly aligned with "the sunset on the day of the Summer Solstice of the Northern Hemisphere."
