The meaning of the ancient name of Jerusalem tells us unequivocally that it was founded with Venus in mind. According to tradition its high sanctuary was the spot where Abraham prepared to sacrifice his son, and where Solomon built the Temple that is aligned to the pre-dawn rising of that planet. We also know from our study of Groved Ware structures of the British Isles that the period of the Venus cycle is forty years - a number which we now noticed seemed to be of great importance in the Bible.
To check out if our assessment of the biblical use of forty was more than wishful thinking we pulled out as many references as we could find to forty-day or forty-year periods in the Bible. Here are just a sample of forty mentions of forty we extracted from the Old and the New Testaments:

There are actually 101 references to this Venusians period of 40 in the Bible. The preceding is just a small sample.
Templum Hierosolyma
Clavis ad Thesaurum
Theca ubi res pretiosa deponitur
Res ipsa pretiosa
Nil nisi clavis deest
si talia jungere possis
sit tibi scire posse
