                 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,

BIGFOOT, YETI, ABOMINABLE SNOWMAN, GIGANTIOPITHECUS, SASQUASH

Entire animal constructed from some teeth and bottom jaw fragments

BIGFOOT, GIGANTIOPITHECUS, SASQUATCH, ABOMINABLE SNOWMAN

Hi guys! What is going on with you all this week? Are you preparing/enjoying for the spring weather in the southern hemisphere or the winter weather in the northern hemisphere? My husband and I are preparing for cooler weather here in North America. Chopping wood, putting up window covers, raking leaves, turning off outside waters etc. One thing we don’t have to do, praise the Lord, is store up food. 

But not so for all the wild animals. Many of them do store up for the colder months. Some creatures actually store food in caches they make, others eat tremendous amounts of food and store it as fat within their bodies. Yet others somehow survive the cold winter months hunting for food. 

So what does this have to do with Bigfoot, Gigantiopithecus, Sasquatch, or the abominable snowman, you may ask? Well, let’s start with the abominable snowman…

The abominable snowman is also known as Yeti. It is listed in the Encyclopedia Britannica as a “mythical monster supposed to inhabit the Himalayan Mountains at about the level of the snow line. Though reports of actual sightings of such a creature are rare, certain mysterious markings in the snow have traditionally been attributed to it. Those not caused by lumps of snow or stones falling from higher regions and bouncing across the lower slopes have probably been produced by bears. At certain gaits bears place the hindfoot partly over the imprint of the forefoot, thus making a very large imprint that looks deceptively like an enormous

Supposed “Yeti” footprint on left, human footprint on right

human footprint positioned in the opposite direction.” But people still look for these supposed “animals”. Recently a team of Japanese climbers attempted to track down the Yeti. “Although the climbers spent more than 40 days on Dhaulagiri IV - a 7,661 metre (25,135-foot) peak where they say they have seen traces of yetis in the past - they could not furnish the press with a single photograph of the Yeti.”¹ They did however photograph three tracks they claim are the Yeti’s. “In July Yeti hairs were supposedly found in north east India. Upon testing they turned out to belong to a species of Himalayan goat. In August, two men in the US claimed they had found the remains of a half-man-half-ape Bigfoot, which actually turned out to be a rubber gorilla suit.”²

“One of the most famous of the cryptids is North America’s “bigfoot” or “sasquatch.” These creatures are said to be a population of large, hairy, bipedal primates that inhabit the coniferous wilderness of the United States and Canada. They are thought to range in height from 6.6–9.8 feet and weigh over 500 pounds. They are reported to be extremely muscular and capable of using their ‘hands’ to twist saplings in two. Bigfoots are also believed to be nomadic, active mostly at night, largely solitary, and very shy.

While few in the scientific community give any credit to the existence of giant apes dwelling in North American forests, organizations such as the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization insist that Bigfoot is a real, living creature. This group, run by volunteers, adamantly claims that there is plenty of evidence for bigfoot in the form of hair, stool, footprints, and, of course, sightings. They argue that sightings of bigfoot are a historical phenomenon dating from indigenous peoples of North America until present day. These reported sightings are spread across North America with the majority occurring along the western coast. It is proposed that if Bigfoot is indeed a real—though highly elusive—creature, it is a type of ape.”³ 

Which brings us to Gigantopithecus. “The literal 1,000-pound gorilla sitting in the corner of a natural history museum, the appropriately named Gigantopithecus was the largest ape that ever lived, not quite King Kong-sized but, at up to half a ton or so, much bigger than your average lowland gorilla. Or, at least, that's the way this prehistoric primate has been reconstructed; frustratingly, practically everything we know about Gigantopithecus is based on its scattered, fossilized teeth and jaws.”⁴

“Most scientists chalk bigfoot sightings up to misidentifications because of the hype or simply as hoaxes by sensationalists. It does seem highly unlikely that such a

Bigfoot hoax made CNN news. It turned out to be a halloween costume.

large creature could have managed to remain so elusive when so much effort has been spent over the last 50 years trying to prove its existence. But ultimately, if hard, irrevocable evidence of bigfoot were ever produced, would it be a problem for the biblical worldview? Of course not. “Bigfoot”—like any other animal—would just be another example of a unique creature that is well-designed for its environment.”⁵

Most if not all of these Bigfoot/Yeti/Gigantopthecus hunters have been influenced by evolution. Such indoctrination brings about the belief that there may be a half-ape/half-human creature running around out there. If indeed such a discovery did happen, it would not be half human-half ape (because animals can only reproduce after their own kind) but what was believed to be an extinct type of ape. “Such a discovery would be a big surprise to the evolutionary community but would not shock creationists. These creatures would simply showcase the glory of God’s creation and the incredible complexity that He has built into everything that He has made.”⁶

Until next time, God bless and take care,

                                                                VIABLE OFFSPRING

Hi everyone! 

How are you all doing today? I am exhausted but doing well. My novel, Of One Tongue is at the publishers for (hopefully) the final review. I am anticipating it to come out by the end of the month! Yeah! So lots of last minute details to attend to, lol!

Thus this blog is going to be mostly pictures….but oh what fascinating pictures! I researched more into hybrid animals and here is what I found:

Beefalo; a cross between  a buffalo and domestic cattle. They are fertile and can produce viable offspring.

Zubrons; a cross between the European bison and domestic cattle. They can produce viable offspring.

The sheep-goat; These two animals are from different genuses. Yet they can produce viable offspring.

Wolf dog hybrids: These animals can easily produce viable offspring.

Dingo dog hybrids: These also easily produce offspring.

Fox dog hybrids: these also can produce viable offspring.

Ligers; A cross between a male lion and female tiger. Sometimes they can produce viable offspring.

Tigons: a cross between a male tiger and female lion. Can sometimes produce viable offspring.

Jungle cat/domestic cat hybrid. They can produce viable offspring.

Wild cat/domestic cat hybrid. Also can sometimes produce viable offspring.

Leapon: Leopard lion hybrid. Unknown if they produced viable offspring.

Cama: A cross between a camel and a llama. Artificially inseminated due to difference in size.

Wolphin: a cross between a false killer whale and a bottle nose dolphin. As you can see by the picture, they can produce viable offspring.

Narluga: A cross between a narwhal and beluga whale. Unknown if they can produce viable offspring. The Beluga whale is on the top left, narwhale on the top right. The narluga is on the bottom

Grolar bears: A cross between a Grizzly bear and a polar bear. They can produce viable offspring.

Sun/sloth bear hybrid.  Their fertility is unknown.

Why is it so important that I included whether or not the hybrids are fertile and can produce viable offspring? Because in evolutionary terms, that is what makes a species separate—when two animals cannot produce viable offspring. Many of these animals are considered separate species and even listed in separate genuses. A big problem for secular scientists. But is is not a problem at all for creation scientists. All of these animals’ ancestors were created with genetic diversity. And I hope that if you noticed nothing else, you have noticed that all of these hybrids are within their created Kind. “Through time the processes of natural selection, mutation, and other mechanisms have altered that original information (decreased or degenerated) to give us even more variation within a kind. Great variety can be observed in the offspring of animals of the same kind, just as the same cake recipe can be used to make many different cakes with various flavors and colors. Hybrids have a portion of the same genetic information as their parents but combined in a unique way to give a very unique looking animal. What an amazing diversity of life God has created for us to enjoy!”

Take care and God bless,

Willow Dressel
