(UPDATING EGYPTIAN CHAKRA TRAIL, WITH POSITIVE RESPONSES TO ORIGINAL POST AND SOME MORE INFO)In medieval times; a pilgrim was to travel mostly on foot covering about 20-25 Km a day and was driven by a fundamentally devotional reason: the pilgrimage to the Holy Sites of Christianity. There were at the time three main centres of attraction :Rome, the site of the martyrdom of Saint Peter and Saint Paul;Santiago de Compostela, the place chosen by the apostle Saint James to rest in peace and obviously Jerusalem in the Holy Land. The pilgrim did not travel alone but in a group and he used to carry the pilgrimage emblems (the shell for Santiago de Compostela, the cross for Jerusalem and the key for Saint Peter in Rome).In the Mosses legacy by Graham Phillips Graham was trying to locate a place called Beth-El. Beth-El is the name for the house of god. Graham found seven main sites at different locations. When the locations are plotted on a map of Israel they run South to North with the middle location in Jerusalem representing the sun chakra.The locations starting from the Southern most point are - Moab, Ephorath = Behtleham, Luz, Solomons Temple, Mishmash, Shilo, Ramah.http://www.sharkstooth.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/israelchakra.html The Camino de Santiago (the Way of St. James) is a large network of ancient pilgrim routes stretching across Europe and coming together at the tomb of St. James (Santiago in Spanish) in Santiago de Compostela in north-west Spain. http://www.santiago-compostela.net/
