                 ARCHAEOASTRONOMY

Hi everyone!

How have you all been? I’ve been very busy as usual. I am working with my publisher on my novel. The last thing is to get the cover art and I just sent that in as a revised proof so hopefully all will look great and the book will get published in about one week. Yeah! The making of the book took such a long time and lots and lots of research. But one thing that I hadn’t discovered before is archaeoastronomy. What’s that you may ask? It is the aligning of architectures according to astronomical events or celestial objects. Did this really happen? The answer is yes…

The Pyramids of Giza:

Most scientists believe the three pyramids of Giza were aligned

with the constellation Orion and have internal shafts that point to various celestial bodies. “The geographical layout of the Giza complex captures the relationships between all the important astronomical planes, including the galactic plane. To those who would say that the ancient Egyptians did not know about the galactic plane, think again. The galactic plane is one of the most distinguishable features in the night sky: the Milky Way. The centre of the galaxy is located where the Milky Way is the thickest (at the juncture of Scorpio and Sagittarius). The causeways are laid at 23.5 degrees north of east, representing the relationship between the ecliptic and the celestial equator. It is here that the sun rises at the summer solstice. Using the obelisk that once stood before the paws of the sphinx as a pivotal point, further angular relationships associated with the lunar orbital plane, the ecliptic, the celestial equator, and the galactic plane are found. These relationships, as well as indicating the moon’s maximum and minimum declinations. In fact, the whole layout appears to be a reproduction of the intimate interaction between the Sun, Moon and earth in relationship to its place in the galaxy.”¹

The City of Alexandria:

Was a Greek city built in Egypt to honor Alexander the Great. It was built around 332 B.C. by Alexander the Great and was the

City of Alexandria, Canopic road, taken early19th century. C. Pallini

capital of the Ptolemies (The final dynasty of Egypt). It is “…one massive display of ancient man’s ability in the area of archaeoastronomy. The layout of the entire city was designed to be in alignment with the sun of the birthday of Alexander the Great. This type of archaeoastronomy on such a grand scale is truly amazing.”²

Stonehenge:

“Constructed about 16 centuries before Christ, five trilithon/lintel (the upright stones [trilithons] capped with horizontal lintels [stones]) sets were placed in a horseshoe layout, the tallest set is in the middle of the five. The vertical gap in that set is bisected by a

line, the Summer Solstice sunrise alignment, through the heart of the circle and a remote marker known as the Heel Stone…Archaeoastronomers have long known about its heralding of the Summer Solstice. When sky conditions permit, the Sun can be seen rising through the vertical gap in the central trilithon/lintel set directly above the Heel Stone. Additionally, the 56 Aubrey Holes in a ring encircling the structure might have been an advanced, giant abacus for predicting lunar and solar eclipses. By advancing two different sets of markers daily and annually along the Aubrey Circle, Stonehenge's designers may have tracked solar/lunar recurrences with a known interval of approximately 18 and two-thirds years.”³  

Does some or all of this sound complicated? Yes it does! Even for me! Which just goes to show that our ancient ancestors were intelligent and knowledgeable and skillful. Beyond what we can even do today. That is because man has not evolved. Nor have the animals. We were all created as amazing beings. And our astonishing ancestors were actually more intelligent and skillful than us. We have not evolved, we have de-evolved. Only recently have we, as a people, been able to compare our skill level to that of the ancients. And a huge part of that is because humans have come together again sharing technology as one group…as it was in the days of Babel. “And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.” (Genesis 11:6) Remember Gods judgement for that…

Until next time,
