Interesting Fact:
The Middle East, and the West Coast of the US both possess a Mt Diablo, a Mt Carmel, a Mt Golgotha, as well as a mega city named "The City" (Istanbul translated into English, and San Francisco's nickname), and a "Cities of the Plain" (Las Vegas translated into English, and Sodom and Gomorrah in Israel; along with Admah, Zeboim, and Bela 2 of which were destroyed along with Sodom and Gomorrah, sparing only Bela; a story detailed in the book of Genesis and retraced in Ezekiel 16)
When the Rosicrucians landed in Monterey Bay, they established a monastery on Mount Carmel, and moved a vast amount of the historical record from Essene sect of Judaism from Mount Carmel in Israel to Mount Carmel in California.
In fact, the original location for the construction of the Rosicrucian Temple in San Jose, CA was Carmel, CA due to the sacred relationship between the Essenes and Mount Carmel, but for reasons I cant quite recall at this time, was decidedly moved to San Jose, CA where it still is today.
