who is this mysterious Son of Man?
No lie can live forever.
-Alfred North Whitehead
The Son of Man in the Gospels can be traced to the constellation Orion which represents Jesus' Spirit. Background for this report can be found in Gospel Zodiac, Jesus' Ghost and Pillar of Cloud. They explain how Jesus allegorizes the sun, the nature of Jesus' Spirit and the role the Milky Way plays in apocalyptic prophecies. This report explains the astrological significance of Son of Man.
Introduction
One of the imperatives in Christian mythology is the belief that the world as we know it will end someday. God will overthrow the forces of evil and all who side with them, and only those who repent and follow Jesus' teachings will be allowed to enter the new Kingdom of God. Jesus and Paul mention it often and the Book of Revelation is devoted to it.
Many passages attest that Jesus expected the end of the world to come in his time, not thousands of years later. Throughout the Gospels, Jesus refers to some mysterious Son of man, a cosmic judge sent from heaven who would destroy whoever opposes God and reward those who are faithful.
Who this Son of man? The popular claim has it that Jesus was referring to himself in the third person. It's plausible because many passages fit the course of Jesus' ministry. What is suspicious about this rationale is that Jesus appears to be describing someone else.
38For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of man also be ashamed, when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels."
1And he said to them, "Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see that the kingdom of God has come with power." (Mark 8:38-9:1)
I submit that Christian reasoning is entirely wrong. When Christians read the predictions of the end of the world, they are waiting for events to unfold on earth. Even after 2,000 years of false alarms, they have not lost patience, and I don't know if they will ever admit that maybe they are misreading the New Testament.
Such a calamity cannot happen as the Bible predicts. Something on that scale would take an event like a large meteor to hit earth. In such a case, a meteor would not care who is faithful to Jesus. If there was a nuclear war, bombs would be guided by human stupidity, not divine intelligence. If any other catastrophe happens on that scale, earth would not be a very pleasant place for the survivors. Whatever the cause of mass destruction, faith will not protect anybody. Even worse, if the entire world was destroyed, as devout Christians believe, there would be no survivors.
What confuses modern readers is the way the Bible's writers coded their belief in the power of the stars as if they affected life on earth. The matter before us is to decipher their writings for what they meant to ancients, not to what modern believers want to believe.
For this reason, we will examine the Bible from an astronomical point of view. It was a time when ancients perceived the stars in heaven as patterns to be interpreted as God's divine plan for life on earth. The sun was especially important to them because they understood that life on earth depended on it.
There are three clues which clarify what they were writing about. The first describes the Son of man as the constellation Orion. The second relates the yearly sun cycle to the end of the world. The third tracks Orion with the sun cycle. There can be no other conclusion except that the idea of a supernatural God was conceived as a ruse to mislead faithful Christians.
The Son of man
Three passages define the Son of man in physical form.
The first appears in the apocalyptic writings of the Book of Daniel, where Daniel describes the Son of man as riding on the clouds of heaven to the "Ancient of days" to give him everlasting dominion over the new kingdom of heaven.
13I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
14And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed. (Dan. 7:13-14)
Revelation's description of the Son of man fits the pattern of stars in the constellation Orion. The star on his right shoulder is bright red (upper left star). The three stars at his waste were later seen as the three wise men who announced the birth of Jesus.
12Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands,
13and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden girdle round his breast;
14his head and his hair were white as white wool, white as snow; his eyes were like a flame of fire,
15his feet were like burnished bronze, refined as in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of many waters;
16in his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth issued a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength. (Rev. 1:12-20)
The Son of man has a cluster of stars in the background that look like the clouds upon which the Son of man rides. Astronomical maps show the Milky Way behind the constellation Orion. From earth, they look like clouds.
14And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
(Rev. 14:14-20)
A photograph of Orion, personified as the Son of man riding on a cloud.
Orion as seen in human form. His right hand could be holding a sickle or a club. His left hand could be holding an animal skin, a shield or a bow. The Milky Way is behind him. The arc above him represents the sun's path. The line going through his waste is the celestial equator which runs parallel to earth's equator.
Orion's legacy
After the Big Dipper, Orion is perhaps the next most celebrated constellation in the winter sky. Mythologies about Orion probably originated from the Egyptians thousands of years ago and extended to the Greeks at the turn of the first century. It is a very important constellation to astral religions and easy to recognize.
To the ancient Egyptians, Orion was Osiris the God of Light. Set was Orisis' brother and the God of Darkness. According to legend, Orisis was murdered by his evil brother Set, who tore his body into pieces and scattered the fragments. Isis, Osiris' wife, managed to put him back together except for his phallus, which had been swallowed by a fish. She made an artificial phallus and breathed into his body to restore his soul. Thereafter, he rose to the sky.
In one period, Orion represented the Egyptian god of the dead and the first king of Egypt. After death, the pharaoh was thought to mystically inseminate the stars to ensure that, through Osiris, Horus the sun god would be reborn as his successor.
In one Greek myth, Orion was the son of Neptune and the nymph Euryale. He was of gigantic size, strength and beauty. He was so tall that he could walk through deep water without wetting his head. His hubris invoked Gaia, the Goddess of the Earth to send a scorpion to kill him. His fall to earth can be seen when the stars of Orion sink defeated below the western horizon and the stars of Scorpion are just rising in the east.
The next night he rises again, saved by Ophiuchus, the Doctor of Antiquity who gave him an antidote for the scorpions poison. This can be seen when the Scorpion sets in the southwest with Ophiuchus standing over him as a symbol of the antidote. Later, when Ophiuchus sets in the west, Orion comes up from the east, fully recovered.
In these myths alone we see fragments of Christian mythology. Gods die and are restored to life. They are given a soul by being breathed into and they fall to earth as Adam did. The scorpion brings death as Judas did to Jesus. There is the eternal conflict between light and dark. (See Light verses Dark)
The timing of Orion's cycle fits with the birth of Jesus on December 25. It makes its first appearance in the east in mid December each year. And as the season progresses, Orion rises with the sun and sets in the west three days before it rises in the east again.
With the sun personified as Jesus, it is accurate to think of Orion as a constellation in synch with the sun's cycle. In a sense they are like conjoined twins who suffer the same fate. This is why the confusion about whether Jesus is referring to himself as the Son of Man in the third person or whether the Son of Man is some cosmic judge.
The sun cycle
In allegorical language, the sun goes through four seasonal cycles. It is born on December 25 when daylight hours start to increase. At about this same time Orion rises in the east with its three belt stars as the three wise men. As Orion rises, the star Sirius ascends above the horizon as the star of Bethlehem. Sirius is the brightest star in the sky.
The powers of darkness are still in power, but as the daylight hours increase, it is seen as overcoming the forces that try to stop it. In the Gospels, this is when Jesus is born and when his parents take him away to keep Herod from killing him.
At the spring equinox it has entered the gates of heaven when daylight hours start to emerge more powerful than the dark evil forces. Jesus' mission starts in the spring when he collects his disciples and builds a following.
At the summer solstice, when the sun is the highest in the sky, the sun is on its throne. In the following summer months, as the sun descends, it is still strong, but it is weakening as the dark forces start to make war against it. To show his strength, Jesus performs miracles and exorcises demons. At this time Orion is at the height of its ascent.
When the sun passes through the fall equinox, it enters the gates to hell. Night time hours start to lengthen and the dark forces are said to be fighting their way back to power. The sun continues to weaken until it dies for three days following December 21. This is when Jesus is betrayed by Judas and is taken to trial and executed. Allegorically, this is the end of the world.
On December 25, the sun is resurrected and the cycle repeats.
This cycle is not unique to Christianity; it plays out through the mythologies of resurrected gods. It was the age of fable when the constellations were assigned the names of gods. There was Hercules who died on his twelfth labor like Jesus. There is Jason and the Argonauts with their ship Argo, reminiscent of Noah's ark. The constellation Perseus holding the head of Medusa looks like David holding the head of Goliath. There are creation myths, supreme gods who mate with virgins, giants, serpents and a host of other characters like those in the Bible.
The Bible cannot be understood by those who are so blinded with faith that they keep their heads buried in the ground trying to make historical sense out of it. Look up to the sky. The keys to unlocking the secrets of the Bible can be found with a map of the constellations and a good book on star mythology. My favorite is New Patterns in the Sky New Patterns in the Sky by Julius D. W. Staal,
The Zodiac wheel shows how the sun's yearly ascension and descension conforms to the Bible's motifs.
biblical Omens
In Mark chapter 13, there is an allegorical summary of the astronomical omens that lead to the end of the world. They start when the sun is at full power at its highest position on the horizon to when it descends to its death at the lowest position.
1. When the sun is at the summer solstice in Gemini, Jesus predicted that some day the temple will be destroyed. His disciples wanted to know what sign they should look for to know when this event will happen. In biblespeak, "sign" denotes astrological signs.
1And as he came out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, "Look, Teacher, what wonderful stones and what wonderful buildings!"
2And Jesus said to him, "Do you see these great buildings? There will not be left here one stone upon another, that will not be thrown down."
3And as he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,
4"Tell us, when will this be, and what will be the sign when these things are all to be accomplished?" (Mark 13:1-4)
2. After the sun passes the high point of the summer solstice it descends lower with each passing day. Allegorically, the sun is weakening because the dark forces of evil are said to waging war against it. The wars are just beginning.
The sun starts to descend in the house of Cancer. It is usually a time of hesitation, so Jesus warns what to expect and not to be alarmed.
7And when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed; this must take place, but the end is not yet.
8For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in various places, there will be famines; this is but the beginning of the birth-pangs.
9"But take heed to yourselves; for they will deliver you up to councils; and you will be beaten in synagogues; and you will stand before governors and kings for my sake, to bear testimony before them. (Mark 13:7-8)
3. The wars between light and dark intensify as the days get shorter. The sun is still strong, but the forces of evil are gaining power.
The house of Leo brings strength from the new harvest. So Jesus says to be strong against adversity and you will be saved.
11And when they bring you to trial and deliver you up, do not be anxious beforehand what you are to say; but say whatever is given you in that hour, for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.
12And brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death;
13and you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.
14"But when you see the desolating sacrilege set up where it ought not to be (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains; (Mark 13:11-14)
4. Virgo is the last house before the sun descends into hell-Virgo is described as a nursing mother. There is no turning back.
15let him who is on the housetop not go down, nor enter his house, to take anything away;
16and let him who is in the field not turn back to take his mantle.
17And alas for those who are with child and for those who give suck [Virgo] in those days! (Mark 13:15-17)
5. The sun has passed the fall equinox into Scorpio. The days are getting progressively shorter than the nights. According to Jesus, if the days did not get shorter, no one could be saved, so God shortened the days. Pray that the sign doesn't happen in winter because it is the worst of times. If the days are still getting shorter and someone says the Christ has come, do not believe them. It is not the right time.
18Pray that it may not happen in winter.
19For in those days there will be such tribulation as has not been from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will be.
20And if the Lord had not shortened the days, no human being would be saved; but for the sake of the elect, whom he chose, he shortened the days.
21And then if any one says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or 'Look, there he is!' do not believe it.
22False Christs and false prophets will arise and show signs and wonders, to lead astray, if possible, the elect.
23But take heed; I have told you all things beforehand. (Mark 13:18-23)
6. The sun is in Sagittarius as the sun descends to its lowest point on the horizon. On the darkest days of the winter when the moon does not give light, the Son of man will come in clouds. The Son of man in clouds can be seen in the picture above. Below, the next frame shows the son of men descending on December 21.
24"But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light,
25and the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.
26And then they will see the Son of man coming in clouds with great power and glory.
27And then he will send out the angels, and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven. (Mark 13:24-27)
7. You will know he is near the gates to heaven (the spring equinox) when fig trees start to grow leaves.
28"From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near.
29So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that he is near, at the very gates. (Mark 13:28-29)
8. This generation will see these things take place. -He means his generation.
30Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away before all these things take place.
31Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. (Mark 13:30-31)
In the first century on December 21 at midnight, when the sun is darkened and the moon does not give up its light, the Son of man can be seen descending to earth. A month later it disappears from view.
Orion ascends in the east three days after its disappearance in the west.

Astronomy Bible

Look at Amos 5:8 – in the KJV – The 7 stars in Orion is Osiris. Why is this in the bible?
The 7 stars in Orion’s belt represents Osiris in Kemet and others religions as well. I thought Christians were not supposed to indulge in astronomy. Then why is it in the Bible?
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=amos%205:8&version=9
Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name:
Here is a pic-
http://www.crystalinks.com/orion1.gif
you can do all the reasearch you want to! You will find a wealth of info on Osiris and the 7 stars!
ASTROLOGY – YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN – PLEASE DONT GET COUGHT UP IN THAT!
The Hebrew bible translates into the 7 stars in Orion.

15 JUNIO 2011:
ECLIPSE TOTAL DE LUNA ENTRE EL CENTRO GALÁCTICO Y LA CONSTELACIÓN DE ORIÓN
|
|
|
|
|
|
LA SOMBRA DE LA LUNA EN LA PIEL DE LA MADRE TIERRA
|
  |
|
"Dionisio el Areopagita" (Antoine Caron)
|
LUNAR (sombra de la Luna) en la Piel de la Madre (Tierra)
|
El pasado 4 de enero de 2011, coincidiendo con el momento en que la Nave Tierra estaba en el punto de su órbita más cercano al Sol (perihelio) la Luna pasó entre la Tierra y el Sol. Esto no tiene nada de particular en cuanto que ocurre cada 29 días y medio. Lo particular es que el satélite cruzó por la línea entre el Sol y el umbral del amanecer de la Tierra en el momento en que la región de la Península Ibérica pasa del lado nocturno al diurno, de modo que los navegantes humanos de la Nave Tierra que viven ahí pudieron tomar la sombra de la Luna durante un rato. Se vio desde Cataluña (como desde Barcelona) aunque no desde Galicia porque la región gallega estuvo cubierta por las nubes. La sombra de la Luna no eclipsó a España, pues España está en otra dimensión en la que los españoles mantienen su propia sombra que llaman "crisis". Tres centros, el del Sol, el de la Luna y el de las pupilas (más negras que la Luna o la propia sombra de la Luna), estarán en conjunción y alineación. Fue un eclipse parcial.
Dado que la sombra de la Luna se proyectó en el umbral del amanecer de la Madre Tierra (su hermana Tierra), pudo verse al amanecer y por tanto hacia el oriente (este).

Amanecer del 4 de enero de 2011 en Galicia, al NorOeste de la Península Ibérica.

Mientras el planeta gira y la región en la que vivimos cruza el umbral de noche y día, las personas "amanecemos" y recuperamos la línea de visión del Sol. Amanecemos nosotros aunque decimos que "amanece el Sol" o "amanece el día". Así, mientras la "Cabeza de Iberia" amanece el día 4 de enero se vio también a la Luna ya eclipsando parcialmente al Sol, de modo que Iberia amaneció con una especie de Visera cósmica. Desde Galicia (cubierta por las nubes ese día) se hubiese visto una "salida" de Sol y de Luna al mismo tiempo. La Luna y el Sol saliendo juntos, como novios. Por eso, aunque todos los eclipses y amaneceres son de categoría especial, este amanecer eclipsado o eclipse tempranero fue "fuera de categoría".
Dado que el eclipse puede durar unos 6 minutos (6x60 segundos), en este caso de eclipse de Sol en el amanecer es como si el día tardara en llegar 6 minutos más de lo que le corresponde. Durante ese tiempo la Luna hace de sombrilla o parasol cósmico. En ese tiempo la Nave planetaria gira 1,5 grados y se traslada 108.000 kms, y la Luna recorre unos 360 kms en sentido contrario al del planeta Tierra.

En 2011 se produce un eclipse de Sol el día 1 de junio. Es parcial, y 14 días después, el día 15, ocurre un eclipse total de Luna.
El eclipse de Sol (y la sombra de la Luna) es debido a la alineación de la Luna entre el Sol y una determinada franja del planeta, pues es el satélite el que se incorpora a la línea Sol/Tierra al desplazarse 30 veces más rápido que la Nave Tierra. Durante un eclipse de Sol, la velocidad a la que nos alcanza o nos rebasa la sombra de la Luna es el resultado de la suma de la velocidad de traslación de la Luna (a 1 km por segundo) y de nuestro desplazamiento (tan inevitable como involuntario) hacia el oriente debido al giro de la Tierra y ambos movimientos son en el mismo sentido. El diámetro de la sombra de la Luna en la superficie del planeta viene a tener un máximo de unos 270 kms. Esto significa que la sombra de la Luna, cual alfrombra en el suelo de la Casa Tierra, es unas 13 veces más pequeña que la propia Luna. También podríamos extender 148 veces la sombra de la Luna por la circunferencia ecuatorial del planeta.
Nosotros tenemos lunares en la piel, la superficie del cuerpo, pero no son provocados por una sombra proyectada por la "luna", palabra de la cual deriva "lunar". Sólo en la superficie de la Tierra puede haber un "lunar" creado por la Luna, cuando ésta pasa por la línea imaginaria que une al Sol y la Tierra y proyecta su sombra en el planeta. Así que, considerando al planeta como Madre (la de todas sus especies) podemos decir que, a veces, a la Madre le aparece un lunar en su Piel: la sombra de la Luna.

LUNAR en la Piel de la Madre Tierra. La sombra de la Luna en la Tierra. Eclipse de Sol.

Un eclipse de Sol por sí solo ya es un fenómeno espectacular independientemente de que sea considerado algo más que un evento astronómico. Sin duda que es una gran coincidencia que un puntito tan pequeño como es el planeta Tierra reciba la sombra de un puntito 3,6 veces aún más pequeño (la Luna) mientras flotan circulando por una región espacial tan inmensa y "vacía" como es el Sistema solar. Tan inmensa es que si abarcáramos en nuestro campo de visión sólo media órbita de la Tierra, no podríamos ver a la Tierra ni apenas distinguir el área orbital de la Luna. Aquí vemos al Sol (que es 109 veces más grande que el planeta Tierra) en el centro de las órbitas, y a "otro Sol" en el perímetro de la órbita de la Tierra. La imagen es a escala.
 |
Pero la coincidencia es aún mayor cuando a tal alineación Tierra/Luna/Sol se suma otro punto más, pero no cualquiera, sino el punto básico: el propio Centro de la galaxia, lo cual ya depende de que la Tierra llegue al punto de su órbita en el momento en que para nosotros es 19 de diciembre y la Luna coincida en fase nueva. El día 24 de noviembre del año 29 ocurrió un eclipse así en Jerusalén al mediodía con la Tierra ante la Luna y el Sol y el Centro galáctico.

Y además, dado que el Sol está situado entre el Centro Galáctico y la región en la que desde la Tierra vemos a la constelación de Orión, ésta estaba justo detrás de la Tierra.
Esta escena es una recreación viendo al Sol, la luz, la Luna y su sombra en la superficie de la Tierra.
Y ésta más cerca y con más en detalle.
Con el cielo de la región de Jerusalén despejado, se habría visto a la Luna ocultando al Sol en plena franja de la Vía Láctea. Eso sí, difícilmente se distinguiría el Centro de la galaxia. Si pasas el cursor del ratón por la siguiente doble imagen se puede distinguir la posición del Centro Galáctico y la franja de la Vía Láctea formando un ángulo recto con el horizonte. Parece el Árbol galáctico visto desde 32º norte de una de las Frutas (planeta Tierra) de una de sus Ramas (sistema Solar).

Esta imagen está tomada del programa de astronomía Stellarium. En la página stellarium.org puedes descargar gratuitamente un planetario de software libre. Otros dos programas de astronomía se ha usado para encontrar en la misma fecha un eclipse en Jerusalén al mediodía. Los programas son "DISTANT SUNS", de Virtual Reality Labs (1996) y la Enciclopedia del Espacio y el Universo de Zeta Multimedia.

Si el programa permitiera añadir nubes a la escena, la oscuridad sería mucho mayor y por supuesto no se vería el eclipse.
Varios pintores han dibujado eclipses en sus cuadros, como Antoine Caron, y también en escenas sobre la Crucifixión, como José de Ribera, Pannemarker o Pesellino.
Un eclipse de Sol lo menciona Lucas en su evangelio (capítulo 23, versículos 44-45). En las dobles imágenes siguientes, los pintores imaginaron la escena con el Sol eclipsado por la Luna. También el pintor Pesellino (siglo 15) realizó un cuadro con un eclipse de Sol y de Luna (una luna ensangrentada). 14 días después del eclipse de Sol del 24/11/29 hubo un eclipse parcial de Luna.

|
De Wikipedia: Mark Kidger del Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias (Tenerife, España), comparó el evangelio apócrifo de Pedro con las eclipses históricas. Indicó que el eclipse total del 24 de noviembre de 29 D.C. fue presenciada geográficamente muy cerca del lugar de la crucifixión, pasando la sombra cerca del norte de Jerusalén a las 11:05 A.M. siendo el momento máximo de oscuridad del 95% en dicho lugar y debió pasar desapercibido para la mayoría de quienes estaban fuera de sus casas. El eclipse fue total en Nazaret y Galilea durante 1 minuto y 49 segundos.
|
Lucas señala que hubo tinieblas desde la hora sexta a la hora novena (o nona, y la hora séptima y media como hora central), lo cual es según el uso horario romano (modernamente desde las 12 del mediodía a las 15 con las 13:30 como central). 3 horas es la duración media de un eclipse desde que la sombra de la Luna entra en la región en la que estamos hasta que sale, y en el caso de que haya nubes, la sombra de éstas hace aún más densa la oscuridad, y por supuesto, si la Luna estuviera pasando entre la Tierra y el Sol no podríamos ver que se está produciendo un eclipse.
Aquel eclipse de Sol (no necesariamente la crucifixión) ocurrió con la Luna y el Sol sobre el Centro galáctico en mitad de la franja de la Vía Láctea entre las constelaciones de Ofiuco y Sagitario, que simbolizan al Serpentario y al Centauro arquero que en la mitología griega se llaman Asclepio y Quirón, personajes míticos íntimamente relacionados por ser discípulo y maestro en el arte de la sanación cuyo arquetipo representativo por excelencia es la serpiente, porque su veneno contiene su propio antídoto, y de hecho es utilizada como símbolo por la ciencia médica y la Organización Mundial de la Salud (aunque con el dinero como intermediario). También la constelación de Ofiuco está en mitad de la constelación de la Serpiente.
También, el 24 de noviembre del 29 a las 13:30 horas, en la cenital de Palestina (trazando una línea desde el Centro de la Tierra pasando por Jerusalén y proyectándola al Firmamento) estaba la constelación del Cisne, llamada la Cruz del Norte (ver también constelación de la Cruz del Sur), es decir, la Cruz del Norte sobre la cruz en la que estuviera Jesús, y sobre Jerusalén y Palestina. Tanto la Cruz del Norte como el Centro galáctico están en plena franja de la Vía Láctea.

Si Jesús hubiera nacido en el año -7 (746 de Roma) y hubiera muerto en el año 29 (el 782 de Roma) habría vivido 36 años, aunque la idea generalmente supuesta y aceptada es que tenía 33 años al morir, lo cual significaría que habría muerto en el año 26, y en este año también hubo un eclipse en Jerusalén al mediodía del 6 de febrero con el Sol al final de la región de Acuario. A más posibilidades más interpretaciones.
Por su lado, también el tan célebre como críptico Nostradamus menciona un eclipse de sol y lo relaciona de alguna forma (a interpretación) con la pasión y muerte de Jesucristo en una de las cartas con las que mantenía correspondencia con el Rey Enrique II: "Esto será precedido por un eclipse de sol, más oscuro y tenebroso que nunca desde la creación del mundo salvo después de la muerte y pasión de Jesucristo" (Fuente: http://www.caesaremnostradamus.com/Escritos_archivos/Traducciones/Henry%20II.htm).

También en la Cuarteta 72 de la Centuria X, posiblemente se refiere de forma alegórica (como "un gran rey del terror") a la sombra de un eclipse de Sol en su futuro año 1999, mes 7: "En el año mil novecientos noventa y nueve siete meses, vendrá del cielo un gran rey del terror...". En el mes 8, 11 de agosto de 1999 ocurrió un eclipse total de Sol durante el que la sombra de la Luna cruzó Europa pasando por Francia. Una curiosidad es que fue el último eclipse total de Sol del mismo milenio (1000-2000) en cuya mitad (1503) nació Michel de Nostredame.
Evidentemente no sabemos con seguridad en qué fecha se produjo el eclipse "más oscuro y tenebroso" de entre los que podemos tener noticia, pero tal "tenebrosidad" sólo puede ocurrir cuando a la sombra de la Luna se suma la sombra de densas nubes de tormenta. Si Lucas cita el eclipse sería porque él sí conocía que había ocurrido o porque alguien se lo habría comunicado. De haber ocurrido y de haber sido visto hubiese sido lógico que hubiera quedado grabado en la memoria popular humana pues se habría presenciado a la Luna eclipsando al Sol en plena franja de la Vía Láctea y sobre el punto del Centro galáctico (aunque no se supiera donde estaba el Centro de la Galaxia). 14 días después ocurrió un eclipse (parcial) de Luna.
El pintor Francesco Pesellino realizó en el siglo 15 un cuadro sobre la Crucifixión mostrando un eclipse de Sol, pero también de Luna en la misma escena. Igualmente Pieter Pannemaker en el siglo 16.
Si imaginamos el eclipse desde el espacio "exterior" podemos entender que la SOMBRA DE LA LUNA es literalmente un LUNAR, y así como la piel de nuestro cuerpo tiene lunares será porque la Piel de la Madre (Tierra) los puede tener.

Actualmente, el "tránsito" del Sol por el meridiano celeste en el que está el Centro galáctico en plena franja de la Vía Láctea ocurre cada día gregoriano 19 de diciembre. O dicho de otra forma y de la forma que refleja la realidad: se trata del tránsito de la Nave Tierra por el meridiano celeste contrario al meridiano en el que vemos situado al centro galáctico. No es que la cronología se haya corrido o retrasado 25 días (del 24 de noviembre al 19 de diciembre en 2000 años) sino que durante 2000 órbitas de la Tierra el sistema planetario se ha desplazado una sección de círculo por el Espacio en torno a un centro más exterior y masivo (como la Tierra una 12ª parte cada mes en torno al Sol) y así el punto de la órbita respecto al Sol y el Centro galáctico, una dinámica que no podemos reproducir en calendarios (estructuras rígidas para un tiempo), y de hecho no es importante en nuestro estado de conciencia ni para nuestros propósitos personales durante una esperanza de vida de 70 años, ni para los de una sociedad que dura más pero no está integrada en el orden y dinámica del Universo. El hecho de que la Luna se una a la cita -aunque no siempre eclipsando al Sol- ocurre cada 19 años. Por eso este tipo de eclipse con la Luna ocultando al Sol sobre el Centro de la galaxia (y concretamente en Jerusalén) no es muy frecuente. De hecho volvió a ocurrir 475 años más tarde (año 504) y luego 437 años después (año 941). El siguiente sí se produjo otra vez 475 años después (año 1416). Y el siguiente en 1919 (503 años después). Estos cuatro dan una media de unos 472 años (25 ciclos de 19 años).
Es decir que si la Luna volviera a pasar justo por la línea Tierra/Sol durante un 19 de diciembre, se produciría un eclipse de Sol justo ante el Centro de la galaxia y apreciaríamos en todo su esplendor la Vía Láctea en pleno día, como el Árbol galáctico visto con ojos humanos desde 32º al norte del ecuador de una de las Frutas (planeta Tierra) de una de sus Ramas (sistema Solar).
También puede darse el caso de que la Luna esté ahí mientras pasa por el cono de sombra de la Tierra, tal como ocurre el día 15 de junio de 2011. El día 1 se produce un eclipse (parcial) de Sol Es parcial, y 14 días después, el día 15, se produce ese eclipse total de Luna con ésta y la sombra de la Tierra en la franja de la Vía Láctea y sobre el Centro galáctico.
En 2012, el 20 de mayo el Sol estará bajo las Pléyades y la Luna pasará entre la Tierra y el Sol, de modo que ocurre un eclipse ANULAR de Sol ante las Pléyades. La parte más densa de la sombra de la Luna pasará por el monte Fuji, la ciudad de Tokyo (y rozando a la ya famosa ciudad de Fukushima) y tras cruzar el Pacífico por el sur de las Islas Aleutianas, por San Francisco, prácticamente las dos únicas grandes ciudades habitadas por millones de personas desde las que se verá el eclipse con mayor nitidez.

The identification of these three stars as a belt is a very old one. The Arabic names of two of the stars reflect this: Mintaka means 'the belt' and Alnitak means 'the girdle'. (The name of the third star, Alnilam, means 'the string of pearls'.) It has been suggested that the three Belt-stars influenced the placing of the Pyramids at Giza, and it is certainly true that there is a remarkable correspondence of position between the Pyramids and the stars. (courtesy of glyphweb.com)
Across the centuries, the three stars we know familiarly as Orion's Belt have held a special meaning to many people in many cultures, especially when the number three held spiritual significance as kings, wise men, or gods.
Here are a few of those stories:

The Three Magi of Christian Tradition
from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_Magi
The word Magi is a Latinization of the plural of the Greek word magos (μαγος pl. μαγοι), which is a derivative from Old Persian Magupati. The term is a specific occupational title referring to the priestly caste of a branch of Zoroastrianism known as Zurvanism. As part of their religion, these priests paid particular attention to the stars, and gained an international reputation for astrology.
The phrase from the east is the only information Matthew provides on where the Magi came from, apart from identifying that they come from their own country rather than Judea. Traditionally the view developed that the Magi were Persian or Parthian, a view held for example by John Chrysostom, and Byzantine art generally depicted them in Persian dress. The main support for this is that the first Magi were from Persia and that land still had the largest number of them. Some believe they were from Babylon, which was the centre of Zurvanism, and hence astrology, at the time. Brown comments that the author of Matthew probably didn't have a specific location in mind and the phrase from the east is for literary effect and added exoticism. Though the Bible does not number the Magi [nor, apparently, name them], traditionally there were always seen to be three, as three of the gifts were specifically named.
In the Eastern church a variety of different names are given for the three, but in the West the names have been settled since the 8th century as Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar. The names of the Magi derive from an early 6th century Greek manuscript in Alexandria, translated into the Latin Excerpta Latina Barbari. The Latin text Collectanea et Flores continues the tradition of three kings and their names and gives additional details of their clothes, coming from Syria. This text is said to be from the 8th century, of Irish origin. In the Eastern churches, Ethiopian Christianity, for instance, has Hor, Karsudan, and Basanater, while the Armenians have Kagbha, Badadakharida and Badadilma.
In China, the three stars of Orion's Belt represented the Three Pristine Ones in Daoism: Celestial Worthy of Numinous Treasure, Celestial Worthy of Original Beginnings, Celestial Worthy of the Dao and Inner Power
Also from China, the three belt stars represented the Chinese Star Lords of Good Fortune whose worship began in the 15th c., Fu (Prosperity/Wealth), Lu (Success) and Shu (Longevity). However, Shu was worshipped much earlier, as early as the 3rd c. BCE
In Shinto beliefs: http://www2.gol.com/users/stever/orion.htm According to Uchida (1973), many Japanese came to call the three belt stars of Orion Taishikou San Daishi. Taishikou refers to Winter, and San Daishi refers to three great preachers or teachers. Around the 11th month of each lunar calendar year, on the 23rd and 24th days, various celebrations were and still are made honoring three particularly significant Buddhist teachers who founded sects of that religion in the Nara and Heian eras of Japan: Tendai Daishi (founder of the Tendai Buddhist Sect), Saichou (follower and teacher of the Tendai sect), and Kobo Daishi (founder of the Shingon sect and also famous for establishing the 88 temples of Shikoku around the 9th century).
One can hardly speak of the stars of the Belt of Orion without mentioning the significance of Sirius, the Dog Star. For more information on Sothis/Sopdet/Sirius the Dog Star see How Long Does a Phoenix Live .

Ever since its discovery atop a hill in Germany in 1999, a bronze and gold artefact dubbed the ‘Nebra disc’, has baffled both archaeologists and historians alike as to its authenticity. Despite numerous court hearings to prove that this supposed Bronze Age relic is not a hoax, researchers are still adamant about defining what they believe it means. The general consensus is that it is representative of important stars, although opinions differ vastly as to which stars are purportedly shown… except for a cluster of ‘dots’ that all seem to be in agreement with.
The cluster seems to represent the Pleiades.
One of the more recent opinions expressed by an archaeologist in an entry on ‘Online Spiegel’( 21 February 2006) is that in BC1600, the year the disc supposedly dates back to, the people living in the Sachsen-Anhalt area where it was found, used the disc to orientate themselves as to the seasons… an astronomical clock as it were.
Be that as it may, Wayne Herschel, author of ‘The Hidden Records’ has reason to believe there is a lot more at play here. For him the disc is yet another piece of the cosmic puzzle he proposes in his star map theory that seems to fit with almost all ancient civilisations.
On first examining it, Wayne could not help thinking: Would the Orion, Pleiades and Sun-like-star cosmic pattern that seems to be included in most ancient cultures appear on this disc also? Would Orion come into play, as the cosmic signpost theme as it appears in so many of the other star maps in his book?
Of course if this is the case, it will also put Germany onto the map as once hosting an advanced culture just like the ancient Egyptians and other ancient civilisations.
From his interpretation, Wayne agrees with other researchers who say the disc maps out the Pleiades among its 32 stars, but he takes this finding to new as yet unexplored heights.
|
|
| |
|
| |
|
Firstly, he has only recently realised that there appears to be an interpretation of the Milky Way in relation to the position of the Pleiades.
Once he had made this simple deduction, the missing Orion constellation fell into place. It was perfectly presented. There are three dots in the very centre and it fits precisely between the two gold curved edges that adorn the two opposite ends of the disc. Is this the answer? In the image below, notice how the four outer Orion stars seem interpreted symmetrically and are located near the ends of each of these curved gold edges.
Wayne ’s proposed interpretation is as follows:
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
Note how Wayne has proposed a completely new solution for the Milky Way on the right hand side gold insert on the Nebra disc. It is surrounded with hundreds of small grooves (stars) while having lines like a curved rainbow. This is the clue here, because the Milky Way is depicted curved from one horizon to the other, just like a rainbow.
Orion appears to fit centrally as the cosmic signpost that one must follow to find the Pleiades. This is true in the night sky. Wayne realises that the way in which Aldebaran is shown may be reason for debate. He believes they would not have left out Aldeberan or Sirius. However, he ascribes this to its ‘designers’ possibly having allowed themselves a certain amount of ‘artistic licence’:
“It is as if they first put in the orb and crescent… associated with Orion, Aldebaran and Sirius showing the way to these sacred gold icons… then the Pleiades and the outer star references were filled in.
Why?
Because, as was the case in other ancient civilisations, they most likely would have wanted to give prominence to the heavenly bodies that were of greatest significance!
Coincidently, the gold dots that make up the Pleiades also have three small stars in a row, which Wayne has referenced previously in his other proposed star map solutions. The three small stars generalise the direction to the Sun-like star… and it seems approximately correct here. The angle ‘x’ formed is very similar to the angle the Pleiades form with the Orion’s Belt star alignment, in comparison with the significant Sun-like star he isolates on the star atlas shown below. It is the same angle that seems to repeatedly recur at numerous ancient sites.
He believes that in all likelihood the crescent on the Nebra disc is not representative of the moon, just as the orb in all likelihood is NOT our Sun. Primarily because the Sun and the stars do not appear concurrently when we look at the sky, but also because it is more reasonable to understand more emotion might be attached to the place of their ‘gods’ rather than our very mundane daily Sun.
Wayne has a slightly different interpretation of the Pleiades than that suggested by academics. Scholars have commented that this cluster does not appear to have exacting form.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
Examine the star atlas image above. Notice that the brightest star constellations have a general similarity to the stars on the Nebra disc.
If one studies the Sumerians, there are hundreds of instances in which a large star and a crescent with seven heavenly bodies are depicted in conjunction with one another. Scholars have already suggested that the seven heavenly bodies are the Pleiades. If the ancients claim there ‘gods’ came from the stars, is it not fair to suggest this Orb and crescent have something to do with their place of origin?
It would therefore make sense that what is being depicted, is not our Sun at all, but a ‘Sun-like’ star system. In the same token, the crescent might in all likelihood be a planet associated with this star. A place of origin perhaps for a very advanced flesh and blood ‘god’!
Researchers claim that the Nebra disc is the "oldest representation of the stars in the world."
Wayne believes this claim could be a little premature. One need only take a look at the Lascaux cave which he explores in his book. This cave in France has the very same star map theme, and the site is over 17000 years old. Watch the website soon for a preview. The cave also has a second ‘mythological’ version of the star map, and quite amazingly it appears to portray Orion as a deity, the very same bird headed deities of the Egyptians and Sumerians.
Given that archaeologists have come to believe that the Mittelberg hill and its concrete pit where the disc was found, served as a type of observatory, they will no doubt find Wayne’s new theory hard to swallow. The archaeological dig has gone down about half a metre into the soil, leaving loose stone walls standing. The site was once surrounded by wooden palisades and a complex of defensive ditches. Small wonder that many have likened it to Stonehenge!

‘MISSING’ PYRAMIDS AT GIZA DISCOVERED… ON AN OLD MAP!
|
A NEW recently revealed pyramid/star correlation theory for Giza can now be proven conclusively. Wayne Herschel - the proponent of the new hypothesis - has just found the remaining missing pyramids that will make his theory conclusive. |
| |
| His ‘missing pyramid hypothesis’ was first mentioned in his book, ‘The Hidden Records’, which has recently been published. The author made this invaluable breakthrough while setting out to prove author Robert Bauval’s much acclaimed theory that the three pyramids of Giza correlate with Orion’s ‘belt’. |
| |
|
|
| |
| However, he proposes an entirely new star map interpretation to Bauval’s, using a completely new layout scale for the Orion constellation as a whole (which leads to the inclusion of the all important Taurus constellation alongside it). This new scale interpretation displays some very ingenious mathematical adjustments (explored in the book) that must have been made intentionally by the pyramid builders, and speaks of an incredibly advanced very early civilisation. |
| |
| Not only does this new scale provide the answer for so many of the objections scholars have come up with… BUT IT HAS BECOME INSTRUMENTAL IN CONFIRMING WHAT APPEAR TO BE FOUR UNRECOGNISED PYRAMID RUINS AT GIZA! Discovering these elusive ‘ruins’ has also enabled the author to crack a decipherable message, which is key to unlocking the prime reason as to why the ancients built such an elaborate pyramid star map in the first place! |
| |
| Wayne, with many years experience in astronomy and familiarity with star maps, could see why astronomers were not completely convinced with the model Bauval proposed for his overall pyramid/star correlations (see below). This star map identified two pyramids at quite a distance from Giza (Abu Rawash in the north and Zaweyet Al Aryan in the south) to represent two of the Orion periphery stars (Saiph and Bellatrix). |
| |
| Although there seemed to be fairly similar distances and angles between the pyramids and the stars they were supposed to represent, one could not help observing that Bauval had no counterparts for the two brightest periphery stars of Orion. (See yellow question marks in the map below). But the biggest doubt in this model was the difference in scale when it came to comparing the size of the Orion’s ‘belt’ stars with the size of the three main pyramids at Giza. |
| |
| Academics have also recently pointed out that if the pyramids had been built to represent stars in a grand design so to speak, why would their builders not have included earlier pyramids - the pyramids at Saqqara and Abusir - as part of a star map? One has to query the inevitable here: What if there is a whole new interpretation that answers all these questions? And if so, would it reveal an age old secret behind the pyramids? |
| |
|
|
| |
| It was this prime question that inspired Wayne Herschel to dig deeper. Given the huge distance between the Giza ‘belt’ pyramids and the closest pyramids neighbouring them (in the north Abu Rawash and in the south Zaweyet Al-Aryan), he could not help thinking that completely different stars were at play in this pyramid star map. What if two far more significant stars, namely Sirius and Aldebaran, were to fit here as the correct correlations for these two pyramids? |
| |
| After all, the ancient Egyptians revered Sirius as very important and the name given to the star Aldebaran was “Ad-Dab-aram”, which means “follower of the Pleiades”. (This is because if one were to follow one’s line of sight from Orion’s belt through Aldebaran, one’s eye would follow directly to the Pleiades in the night sky). Quite uncannily, the name even sounded like the pronunciation of the ancient pyramid name “Zaweyet Al-Aryan”. What if there was a connection here? And could it be that the Pleiades (part of the constellation Taurus) also somehow fitted into the picture? |
| |
| This could easily be tested and if it turned out to be right, the size of the Giza pyramids would most likely match the size of the three stars making up Orion’s ‘belt’… exactly! |
| |
| |
| Wayne Herschel’s quest was further fuelled by one of the earliest Egyptian texts. The Thoth Prophecy claims the ultimate corroborating truth: |
| |
| “Egypt is the image of the heavens… the whole Cosmos dwells here”. |
| |
| “Whole” being the operative word! This very conspicuous clue suggested to him that a much wider interpretation of stars in the night sky was at play and that in all likelihood a whole 360° revolution of the Milky Way (of which Orion and Taurus form a part) was being replicated in the pyramid star map of the ancients. It was a possibility that had been entirely overlooked by Egyptologists, and it would leave him no peace. He was determined to find out if there was an astronomical solution to the grand master plan that was apparently at work in how the ancients had laid out their pyramid field. To do this, he created a series of transparencies of the stars. |
| |
| The astronomical scale was adjusted so that Orion’s ‘belt’ would coincide with the sizes the three main pyramids at Giza. The transparency was placed over one of the most credible ancient pyramid maps. The result was breathtaking. What emerged was a series of very accurate correlations for the most prominent stars in Taurus. (Orion is located alongside the sacred bull of the ancients…Taurus). |
| |
| But there was still something missing. Wayne was perplexed as to why there did not appear to be any correlations for the four important outer stars that comprise Orion: |
| |
| “Although this new correlation seemed to feel right, I felt very sure there must be correlations at least for the two brightest stars of Orion (that were left out of Bauval’s model).” |
| |
| “A trip to Giza soon solved this lingering doubt. As I gazed over the plateau from the Sphinx, there it stood right in front of my very eyes. It appeared to be one of my missing pyramids… in all its grandeur! A forgotten ‘pyramid ruin’! It had a vast causeway, which all this time scholars thought was the ruin of a wall! The ‘pyramid ruin’ is so massive that it defies all logic as to why no historian to date has interpreted it to be a ruin! I could hardly keep the camera still as I photographed ‘my’ incredible finding (see below).” |
| |
|
|
| |
|
| |
| Note how the middle area of the ‘ruin’ seems to have collapsed. The debris is literally the same size as the pyramid blocks at Giza. Is this ‘engineered’ bedrock that was once the base ruin of a pyramid, or are these real blocks? Note also the rear of the Sphinx (the vantage point from which the picture was taken) and the eroded walls that have been said to be over 10,000 years old, dating back to an epoch when rain fell in this area. |
| |
| This is when the author decided he needed an aerial image of Giza. There was only one option… an image from a hot air balloon, and that is exactly what happened. He recalls how frustrated he was with the result. The area had changed considerably over time with roads, a cemetery and building developments almost cancelling out what the area must have looked like in ancient times. But this would not deter him. |
| |
| What he did with the photograph was to remove all the anomalies that his research told him had been built in the last one thousand years or so. The processed image that resulted from his efforts was remarkable and it has been published in ‘The Hidden Records’ as the first colour overhead image of how Egypt once looked, at the time of Napoleon arriving in Egypt. The new image clarified that in all likelihood this was a pyramid ruin. This could be further confirmed by it aligning exactly with one of the Orion stars. |
| |
| |
| But what really had the author puzzled, was that this ‘ruin’ had been built two thirds closer to the three main Giza pyramids, when compared to the distances of the star in question in relation to the ‘belt’ stars. The author’s book, ‘The Hidden Records’, goes to great lengths to reason this peculiarity, and comes up with some very thought provoking explanations, which once again goes to show how ingenious the pyramid builders really were. |
| |
| But what about the three other outer pyramids that would complete the star map? What could be lurking under the desert sand? The search was on once again… but this time for an antique map of Giza by one of the earliest cartographers. |
| |
| The author tracked down a map that was well over 100 years old which would give him a more accurate idea of what the plateau would have looked like in ancient times. It resulted in a fantastic breakthrough. It turned out that there were four anomalies exactly in position for all four of the outer stars of a ‘two thirds reduced’ Orion. (The author gives a comprehensively illustrated explanation of the very obvious reasons behind this differential in distance scales). Note that an altered scale depiction for the distance of the periphery stars has been introduced into the astronomical image below, for realistic comparative purposes for ‘ruin’ positions and the apparently intentional improved mathematical portrayal of these important stars. (Note how the intersecting alignment lines in red all intersect at one finite point… is this just another coincidence?) |
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
| |
| As already mentioned earlier, even Taurus (ostensibly the most important to the ancients according to all their texts) fits into this new model? It too has its pyramid counterparts on the ground! Not only did the author’s transparency test reveal such correlations, but it also included numerous others beyond Taurus and Orion… including the oldest Egyptian pyramids found at Memphis. |
| |
| In an infinitely important breakthrough, it turns out that the star map that emerged from Wayne Herschel’s transparency experiment included very accurately all the brightest stars alongside the Milky Way in one complete 360° revolution. This is exactly what the ancient Egyptian text of Thoth claimed. |
| |
| Here is the final NEWLY ADJUSTED image in support of his theory. Notice how his correlations differ from the model proposed by Robert Bauval, as seen on the top of this web page. Wayne has overcome all the previous objections proposed by scholars, all of which are detailed in the book. After all… pyramids must be built on bedrock and not sand and the code of mathematics seems to take slight precedence over precise stellar positions. All of this is on debate in the book. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
| The reasons for the altered scales and why Giza is aligned the way it is, is meticulously unravelled in the book. Also how the Da Vinci codex fits into the Giza layout… where the ‘fingerprint of humanity’ literally shows the way to a measurable nearby Sun-like star in the sky… the star that Egypt and many other ancient civilisations all claimed to be the star… of the ‘gods’! (This is the prime theme of the book). This pattern is also matched on the ground… with a correlating ‘Sun-like’ temple… the ‘Sun-like’ star temple of ‘Ra’. |
| |
| But what about the missing pyramids at Saqqara, and Dashour that have not yet been included in the new star map theory? Are there accurate star correlations for these? |
| |
| The answer is yes again… there are accurate correlations with the brightest stars that remain in completing one full side of the Milky Way! A very logical yet simple message can be decoded in this star map. It isolates one pyramid/star correlation that qualifies as the proverbial ‘x’ on the star map. |
| |
| See the remainder of the Egyptian star map that is shown only in thumbnail size. (Click on the Star Map web page link shown earlier). The full size is depicted in the book with some interesting proof why the bent pyramid… is bent! |
| |
| Click here to see the thumbnail preview of the balance of the star map evidence. The whole of Lower Egypt represents one complete revolution of one side of the Milky Way… all for the purpose of one reason, and one reason only. |
| |
| This new pyramid star map interpretation has been aired recently on a South African television documentary and various radio interviews and the latest findings on this news release have been sent to universities all over the world to evaluate. Scholars are not prepared to comment yet, but undoubtedly will feel compelled to make a statement in the near future. |

Cuando todo parecía que Robert Bauval había encontrado la solución al enigma de las pirámides egipcias con su revolucionaria teoría de Orión, señalando que estos monumentos reconstruían el cielo de la meseta correspondiente al 10500 a. de C., todo daba un nuevo giro a la investigación. Pasan los años, y el tiempo sigue dando la razón a Bauval.
Robert Bauval, ingeniero de profesión, caminaba entre las salas del caótico Museo Egipcio de El Cairo. Un paseo más entre los muchos que había dado por el mismo lugar recordando el glorioso pasado que hace miles de años iluminó el fértil Valle del Nilo. Sobre una de las paredes de la sala que alberga la impresionante estatua en diorita del faraón Kefrén (ca. 2550 a. de C.), Bauval se percató de la existencia de una gran fotografía aérea que mostraba los vértices de las tres pirámides de la meseta de Gizeh, las de Keops (ca. 2575 a. de C.), Kefrén y Micerinos (ca. 2500 a. de C.). Parecía insólito, pero era la primera vez que se percataba de la existencia de esta inmensa fotografía, que tomada por la fuerza aérea egipcia en la década de los años 50.
Desde esa vista cenital, era mucho más claro que las tres mastodónticas construcciones no estaban alineadas, sino que la más pequeña de todas, la que pertenecía al faraón Micerinos, se desviaba de la diagonal que unía a sus dos hermanas mayores. “El desvío se notaba tanto como un cuadro torcido en una pared -comentó el propio Bauval-”. Este singular encuentro cambiaría radicalmente la vida de este ingeniero angloegipcio.
Poco después, mientras desarrollaba su trabajo en Arabia Saudí, alcanzó su descubrimiento más importante. Era una noche de verano cuando Bauval y su familia, acompañados de unos amigos, decidieron salir al desierto de las afueras de Riyad para disfrutar de la temperatura agradable de una noche estival. Fue entonces cuando, mirando al cielo, Bauval realizó uno de los descubrimientos más importantes de este siglo, hallazgo que dejó boquiabierta, incluso, a la más ortodoxa egiptología. Y es que, sorprendentemente, la estructura que poseían las tres estrellas que componen el cinturón de la constelación de Orión, era exactamente idéntico a la configuración de las tres pirámides de la meseta de Gizeh. Corría el año 1983 y todo no había hecho más que empezar.
Comienzo de una odisea
Este hallazgo, aparentemente trivial, arrastró a Bauval a una sucesión de acontecimientos que ni él mismo esperaba; casi una década de trabajo dedicada a la investigación para intentar resolver uno de los misterios más penetrantes de la Antigüedad: ¿por qué se construyeron las pirámides y qué significado tenían estos monumentos para los antiguos egipcios?
El primer adelanto de su trabajo fue expuesto al público especializado en 1989, cuando escribió para la prestigiosa revista egiptológica londinense Discussions in Egyptology, un artículo que llevaba por título "A master-plan for the three pyramids of Giza based on the configuration of the three stars of the belt of Orion" ("Un plan maestro para las tres pirámides de Giza, basado en la configuración de las tres estrellas del cinturón de Orión"). Este primer paso dentro de la egiptología tradicional le sirvió para obtener el respeto y la admiración de egiptólogos tan prestigiosos como I. Eiddon S. Edwards del Museo Británico de Londres (1909-1996) o Jaromir Malek de la Universidad de Oxford. El fruto de su trabajo fue vertido en un libro que en poco tiempo se convirtió en un auténtico bestseller, y que llevaba por título El Misterio de Orión (Emecé, Barcelona 1995).
De demostrarse la certeza de la teoría de Bauval, podría considerarse como una de las pruebas definitivas que relacionaran, al fin de manera científica, las misteriosas construcciones piramidales egipcias con una función astronómica específica. Pero no sólo vincula la construcción de los monumentos de Gizeh con el cinturón de Orión, sino que añade otras relaciones no menos impresionantes que abarcan otras pirámides de Egipto con otras estrellas de nuestro firmamento
Para demostrar su hipótesis, Bauval ha hecho acopio de multitud de pruebas arqueológicas y documentales. Según la teoría de este ingeniero angloegipcio, la Gran Pirámide de Keops estaría identificada con la estrella Zeta Orionis también llamada Alnitak. La pirámide de Kefrén sería la estrella Epsilon Orionis o Alnilam. Finalmente, la tercera de las pirámides de la meseta de Gizeh, la de Micerinos, estaría vinculada a Delta Orionis, denominada en ocasiones Mintaca.
Para encuadrar perfectamente las posiciones de las construcciones terrestres con las estrellas de Orión, muy acertadamente Bauval invirtió la polaridad Norte-Sur de un mapa convencional moderno, colocando el Sur al Norte y viceversa, de acuerdo a la noción del mundo que tenían los antiguos egipcios y otros pueblos de la Antigüedad.
Un descubrimiento asombroso
Pero el increíble hallazgo de Bauval no se quedó en una simple relación de parecidos entre unas construcciones terrestres y la posición de una serie de estrellas de nuestro firmamento. Eso no fue más que el comienzo de una gigantesca investigación que le ayudó a encontrar otra serie de pruebas que respaldaran sus hipótesis.
¿Cómo reaccionó Bauval cuando se percató de que los mal llamados canales de ventilación de las cámaras de la Gran Pirámide de Keops estaban orientados hacia unas constelaciones y entre ellas a la propia Orión? Este descubrimiento, que ya fue anunciado por el arquitecto y también egiptólogo A. Badawy en los años 60, no hizo más que confirmar las sospechas de nuestro ingeniero.
Ayudado de un potente programa informático -el skyglobe 3.5.-, Bauval pudo observar que en la supuesta época en la que se construyeron las pirámides (ca. 2500 a. de C.) existían una serie de vínculos astronómicos que, a ciencia cierta, no tenían nada que ver en absoluto con la casualidad. Así, el canal Norte de la llamada Cámara del Rey de la Gran Pirámide estuvo orientado en esta fecha hacia la estrella alpha de la constelación del Dragón, también llamada Tuban, y que en la Antigüedad hacía las funciones de estrella polar para marcar el Norte. El canal Sur de esta misma Cámara del Rey, estuvo orientada hacia la estrella Zeta Orionis, es decir, aquella que se identificaba con la propia pirámide de Keops.
Por su parte, los canales de la Cámara de la Reina, estancia ubicada inmediatamente debajo de la del Rey, también ofrecieron sorprendentes descubrimientos a nuestro investigador. El canal Norte estuvo orientado en esta fecha hacia la Osa Menor y el Sur hacia la estrella Sirio, la más brillante de la constelación del Can Mayor, y una de las más importantes del panteón egipcio, ya que era identificada con la diosa Isis, esposa de Osiris.
Según Bauval, ayudado por su programa informático, el único momento en el cual pudieron darse estas circunstancias arqueológicas debió de estar entre los años 2475 y 2400 a. de C., datación que puede acomodarse con ciertos matices a la fecha que la egiptología tradicional propone para el reinado de Keops -recordemos, entre el 2589 y 2566 el a. de C.
El entorno arqueológico de la meseta de Gizeh también favorecía la suposición de este ingeniero angloegipcio. Y es que, la ubicación de las tres pirámides al Oeste del río Nilo coincidía con la situación de la constelación de Orión al Oeste de la Vía Láctea, lugar identificado por los antiguos egipcios con el idílico Duat, una especie de "Paraíso" adonde iban a parar después de renacer tras la muerte.
Pruebas documentales
No solamente es la arqueología la que parece dar la razón a la teoría de Bauval. También, un estudio crítico de varios textos funerarios egipcios pareció reafirmar sus planteamientos.
Entre las pruebas documentales manejadas por este ingeniero se matizan las relaciones existentes entre la constelación de Orión y su homónimo dentro de la religión egipcia, el dios Osiris. Esta circunstancia aparece perfectamente reflejada en los llamados Textos de las Pirámides. La finalidad de estos textos, escritos sobre las paredes de algunas pirámides de las V, VI y VII dinastías, no es más que la de proponer un compendio de fórmulas mágicas que tuvieran la función de ayudar al faraón, una vez muerto, en su tránsito por el Más Allá y facilitar su transformación en ntr, una especie de divinidad o ser superior. Estos documentos epigráficos son los más antiguos antecesores del famoso Libro de los Muertos de los antiguos egipcios.
A todo este batiburrillo teológico habría que añadir algún comentario a la identificación que hacían los habitantes del Valle del Nilo entre Osiris y Orión e Isis con Sirio, divinidades emparentadas en la mitología egipcia por medio del matrimonio, y muy relacionadas con las constelaciones a las que apuntan los canales de las cámaras de la Gran Pirámide. ¿Nos encontramos ante algo más que una suposición teórica al vincular la meseta de Gizeh con su homónimo estelar, el cinturón de la constelación de Orión?
Más allá de Gizeh
Sin embargo, estos descubrimientos no han quedado huérfanos en la meseta de Gizeh, sino que se han expandido a otras pirámides de Egipto. Así, Bauval defiende la posibilidad de que el gigantesco proyecto constructivo no se restringió al cinturón de Orión sino que se expandió a otras estrellas de la misma constelación hasta construir ésta sobre la tierra. Por ejemplo, la pirámide del faraón Djedefre (ca. 2475 a. de C.), sita en la cercana localidad de Abou Rowash, estaría identificada en el espacio con la estrella Kappa Orionis, también llamada Saiph. También, la pirámide de Nebka (ca. 2530 a. de C.), en la región de Zauyet el Aryan, sería la estrella Gamma Orionis o Bellatrix.
Según esta hipótesis quedarían por descubrir en el Valle del Nilo las pirámides que desempeñaban el papel terrestre de las estrellas Alpha, Beta y Lambda Orionis, con las que se completarían las ocho grandes estrellas de la constelación de Orión. A comienzos de 1998 un equipo de investigadores británico comenzó la tarea, hasta ahora infructuosa, de la búsqueda de estas nuevas pirámides.
Para poner un broche de oro a tan fascinante teoría, Bauval extendió su estudio a otros grupos monumentales, relacionándolos con otras estrellas que no fueran de la constelación de Orión. La posición, por ejemplo, de la pirámide de Esnofru en Dashur con respecto a la meseta de Gizeh ha sido vinculada con las Híadas, más en concreto con 311 Tauri y Aldebarán, siendo ésta última la estrella que fue colocada por los egipcios sobre la mano de la representación iconográfica de Orión.
En el colmo de la “casualidad”, la teoría de Bauval acaba por confirmar la vieja sospecha que tenían los egiptólogos hace tiempo cuando se intuía que los antiguos egipcios identificaban la Vía Láctea con su río Nilo. Efectivamente, así es, y tal como ocurre en el cielo como en la Tierra, tanto Gizeh como Orión acaban teniendo la misma estructura.
El horizonte de Leo
Hasta este punto, la Egiptología más ortodoxa no tuvo apenas reparos para, al menos, tener en consideración esta teoría. Sin embargo, las investigaciones de Bauval no se detuvieron en este punto y fueron más allá. Si el programa informático decía que la fecha del 2475 a. de C. era excelente para identificar Gizeh con la constelación de Orión y la orientación de los mal llamados canales de ventilación de las cámaras del Rey y de la Reina en la Gran Pirámide, pronto Bauval se dio cuenta de que había una fecha mejor: el 10500 a. de C.
Dos años después de publicar su primer bestseller, Robert Bauval en comunión con otro mago de lo insólito, Graham Hancock, sacaban a la luz El Guardián del Génesis (Planeta-Seix Barral, Barcelona 1997). Tomando en esta ocasión como eje de su investigación la Esfinge de Gizeh y la Gran Pirámide, Bauval especulaba con la posibilidad de que estos monumentos hubieran sido construidos en algún período cercano al 10500 a. de C.
Si bien en esta fecha todas las correlaciones astronómicas se daban con mayor precisión, había un último detalle que parecía dar más fuerza a la hipótesis de Orión en el XI milenio a. de C. La Esfinge de la meseta de Gizeh en esta fecha tan remota miraba exactamente hacia la constelación de Leo.
El problema reside en que los egipcios de la época faraónica no veían la constelación de Leo tal y como nosotros lo hacemos. Es decir, el conjunto de estrellas que hoy identificamos con un león (cuyo origen es babilonio y muy posterior a la época faraónica) no era interpretado por los egipcios de la misma forma.
Con todo, lo más enigmático del misterio de Orión no es intentar resolver si las pirámides fueron realmente tumbas, sino ¿qué civilización de hace 12.000 años era capaz de diseñar, estructurar y construir este tipo de monumentos en el Valle del Nilo y con qué finalidad? En este sentido Bauval es claro: en aquella época no había nadie que pudiera desarrollar este plan maestro. Las pirámides son de la IV dinastía, de eso nadie duda. La interrogante está en por qué los egipcios del 2500 a. de C. quisieron representar el cielo del 10500 en la meseta de Gizeh.

1. ORION (The Coming Prince) Light breaking forth in the Redeemer
29. Orion (the Glorious One)
This picture is to show that the coming one is no mere animal, but a man: a mighty, triumphant, glorious prince.
He is so pictured in the ancient Denderah Zodiac, where we see a man coming forth pointing to the three bright stars (Rigel, Bellatrix, and Betelguez) as his. His name is given as Ha-ga-t, which means this is he who triumphs. The hieroglyphic characters below read Oar. Orion was anciently spelt Oarion, from the Hebrew root, which means light. So that Orion means coming forth as light. The ancient Akkadian was Ur-ana, the light of heaven.
Orion is the most brilliant of all the constellations, and when he comes to the meridian he is accompanied by several adjacent constellations of great splendour. There is then above the horizon the most glorious view of the celestial bodies that the starry firmament affords; and this magnificent view is visible to all the habitable world, because the equinoctial line (or solstitial colure) passes nearly through the middle of Orion.
ARATUS thus sings of him:
"Eastward, beyond the region of the Bull,
Stands great Orion. And who, when night is clear,
Beholds him gleaming bright, shall cast his eyes in vain
To find a Sign more glorious in all heaven."
The constellation is mentioned by name, as being perfectly well known both by name and appearance, in the time of Job; and as being an object of familiar knowledge at that early period of the world's history. See Job 9:9; 38:31, and Amos 5:8 (Heb. Chesil, which means a strong one, a hero, or giant).
It contains 78 stars, two being of the 1st magnitude, four of the 2nd, four of the 3rd, sixteen of the 4th, etc.
A little way below i (in the sword) is a very remarkable nebulous star. A common telescope will show that it is a beautiful nebula. A powerful telescope reveals it as consisting of collections of nebulous stars, these again being surrounded by faint luminous points, which still more powerful telescopes would resolve into separate stars.
Thus beautifully is set forth the brilliancy and glory of that Light which shall break forth when the moment comes for it to be said, "Arise, shine, for thy light is come."
The picture presents us with "the Light of the world." His left foot is significantly placed upon the head of the enemy. He is girded with a glorious girdle, studded with three brilliant stars; and upon this girdle is hung a sharp sword. Its handle proves that this mighty Prince is come forth in a new character. He is again proved to be "the Lamb that was slain," for the hilt of this sword is in the form of the head and body of a lamb. In his right hand he lifts on high his mighty club; while in his left he holds forth the token of his victory--the head and skin of the "roaring lion." We ask in wonder, "Who is this?" and the names of the stars give us the answer.
The brightest, a (in the right shoulder), is named Betelgeuz, which means the coming (Mal 3:2) of the branch.
The next, b (in the left foot), is named Rigel, or Rigol, which means the foot that crusheth. The foot is lifted up, and placed immediately over the head of the enemy, as though in the very act of crushing it. Thus, the name of the star bespeaks the act.
The next star, g (in the left shoulder), is called Bellatrix, which means quickly coming, or swiftly destroying.
The name of the fourth star, d (one of the three in the belt), carries us back to the old, old story, that this glorious One was once humbled; that His heel was once bruised. Its name is Al Nitak, the wounded One. * Similarly the star k (in the right leg) is called Saiph, bruised, which is the very word used in Genesis 3:15, thus connecting Orion with the primeval prophecy. Like Ophiuchus, he has one leg bruised; while, with the other, he is crushing the enemy under foot.
* The star z (in the belt) is called Mintaka, dividing, as a sacrifice (Lev 8:2).
This is betokened by other stars named Al Rai, who bruises, who breaks (as in Cepheus); and Thabit (Hebrew), treading on.
Other (Arabic) names relate to His Person: Al Giauza, the branch; Al Gebor, the mighty; Al Mirzam, the ruler; Al Nagjed, the prince; Niphla (Chaldee), the mighty; Nux (Hebrew), the strong. Some names relate to His coming, as Betelgeuse and Bellatrix, as above; Heka (Chaldee), coming; and Meissa (Hebrew), coming forth.
Such is the cumulative testimony of Orion's stars, which, day after day, and night after night, show forth this knowledge. That testimony was afterwards written in the Book. The Prince of Glory, who was once wounded for the sins of His redeemed, is about to rise up and shine forth for their deliverance. Their redemption draweth nigh; for--
"The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man,
He shall stir up jealousy like a man of war;
He shall cry, yea, roar;
He shall prevail against His enemies.
I have [He says] long time holden my peace;
I have been still, and refrained myself:
Now will I cry like a travailing woman;
I will destroy and devour at once."
Isaiah 42:13, 14
Then it will be said to His people (and the setting of the prophecy in its beautiful introverted structure shows us the beauty and glory of the truth it reveals): *
a: Arise,
b: Shine; for thy light is come,
c: And the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.
d: For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth,
d: And gross darkness the people;
c: But the LORD shall arise upon thee, and His glory shall be seen upon thee.
b: And the Gentiles shall come to thy light,
a: And kings to the brightness of thy rising. (Isaiah 60:1-3)
* Note that--
In a and a, we have the rising of Israel;
In b and b, the light that is come upon her;
In c and c, the glory of the LORD; and
In d and d, the darkness of the world.
This is "the glory of the God" which the heavens constantly declare (Psalm 19:1). They tell of that blessed time when the whole earth shall be filled with His glory (Num 14:21; Isa 11:9); when "the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together" (Isa 40:5), as all see now the beauty of Orion's glory.
But side by side with the glory which the coming Light of the world shall bring for His people, there is "that wicked," whom the Lord "shall destroy with the brightness of His coming." Hence, as in the concluding chapter (4) of the First Book (of which this Third Book is the expansion) we had in LYRA (the harp), as 1, Praise prepared for the Conqueror; and in ARA (the burning pyre), as 2, consuming fire prepared for His enemies: so in the first chapter of this book, we have in ORION, as 1, Glory prepared for the Conqueror; and in ERIDANUS, as 2, the River of wrath prepared for His enemies. This brings us to--

LA ESTRELLA BETELGEUSE
|
Señal que anuncia los solsticios. Cada 19 de junio el Sol cruza el meridiano de Betelgeuse.
|
|
Desde nuestra privilegiada atalaya del Planeta Aire y Tierra podemos ver a la estrella Betelgeuse durante la noche desde la medianoche del equinoccio de septiembre asomando por el horizonte oriental, y hasta la medianoche del equinoccio de marzo ocultándose por el horizonte occidental. En la medianoche de las noches anteriores y posteriores al 19 de diciembre la vemos en su punto más alto del cielo.
Es igual que a diario (y "nochario") pasa con nosotros con respecto al Sol; con el giro de la Tierra nos trasladamos en nuestro círculo paralelo particular y asomamos a la zona iluminada por el Sol, luego cruzamos por el mediodía (punto más cercano al Sol) y después nos ocultamos del Sol entrando en la zona de sombra (noche); así el Planeta Tierra trasladándose por su órbita se acerca y aleja de cada estrella y nosotros desde la zona de sombra (la noche) vemos aparecer y desaparecer a las estrellas, es decir, ganamos y perdemos línea de visión de ellas.
Betelgeuse es esa estrella que está en la esquina superior izquierda del rectángulo que da forma a la formidable constelación de Orión. Claro que así lo vemos si estamos situados en el hemisferio norte de la Madre Tierra, pues desde el hemisferio sur la veríamos en la esquina inferior derecha si pudiéramos mirar la parte ocultada por el horizonte.
Cada 19 de junio, durante nuestro viaje gratis en la Nave Tierra, ésta se coloca en el punto desde el que vemos al Sol en el meridiano de Betelgeuse (5h:55m de Ascensión Recta). Y 3 días después es el solsticio. Así que Betelgeuse es una señal anunciadora del solsticio. Y no sólo eso sino que el punto de la órbita en el que la Madre Tierra está cada 19 de junio es cósmicamente muy significativo, aunque prácticamente toda la humanidad no sea consciente. Cada 19 de junio la Madre Tierra se coloca entre el Sol y el Centro Galáctico. Luego Betelgeuse está al otro lado del Sol, aunque a una altura diferente. Así que se conforma una línea formada por cuatro puntos en los que están Betelgeuse, Sol, Tierra y Centro Galáctico.
Esto quiere decir que al otro lado de la órbita, cuando la Tierra llega en el momento que para nosotros es 19 de diciembre, la Tierra se coloca entre Betelgeuse y el Sol, de forma que la línea es: Betelgeuse, Tierra, Sol y Centro Galáctico.
Esta firma del Sol en el firmamento apareciendo en el meridiano de Betelgeuse el 19 de junio ha venido ocurriendo durante los últimos 28 años que son 365 meses lunares. Prácticamente hacia el 2.016, el Sol estará un poco más a la izquierda.
Hace unos 3.500 años, según el movimiento de oscilación del Sistema Solar, el Ecuador Terrestre proyectado al firmamento como nuestro Ecuador Celeste cortaba por la estrella Betelgeuse. Así que en los últimos 3.500 años el Sistema Solar ha oscilado haciendo que la proyección del Ecuador de la Tierra en el firmamento haya barrido de arriba a abajo a la constelación de Orión desde Betelgeuse hasta actualmente Mintaka.

Global Orion Links: A Celestial Plan?
2006 12 05
By Gary A. David | theorionzone.com
Humans naturally seem to resonate with the hermetic maxim “As above, so below.” We like the idea that the earth mirrors the stars. We even try to enhance this duality by constructing pyramids, temples, stone circles, henges, or sacred villages to reflect star patterns. Biblically speaking, God’s will shall be done “in earth as it is in heaven.”
But why did ancient astronomer-priests from diverse cultures around the world apparently focus on the constellation Orion as the supreme celestial template?
As some readers know, the primary “Orion Correlation Theory” (OCT) was developed in Robert Bauval and Adrian Gilbert in their international bestseller The Orion Mystery. The co-authors discovered an ancient “unified ground plan” in which the pyramids at Giza form the pattern of the belt of Orion.
According to their theory only briefly summarized here, the Great Pyramid (Khufu) represents Alnitak, the middle pyramid (Khafre) represents Alnilam, and the slightly offset smaller pyramid (Menkaure) represents Mintaka. In addition, two ruined pyramids —one at Abu Ruwash to the north and another at Zawyat al Aryan to the south— correlate to Saiph (Orion’s right foot) and Bellatrix (Orion’s left shoulder) respectively, while three pyramids at Abusir farther south correspond to Orion’s head. http://www.robertbauval.co.uk/articles/articles/gizaorion.html
• (A number of researchers have disputed either all or part of the OCT since its publication nearly a decade ago. http://www.teamatlantis.com/yucatan_test/orion1.html
• And most recently: http://www.mysterious-america.net/cygnus-orion.html
and also: http://www.andrewcollins.com/page/articles/Cygnus_Orion_Giza.htm.)
Egypt was not the only place, however, where Orion’s influence was felt.
Inspired by Bauval’s work, I stumbled across an Orion Correlation that the Anasazi (ancestral Hopi Indians) constructed in Arizona from about 1050-1300 AD. Every major star in the constellation corresponds to a specific masonry village site. The terrestrial replication of the celestial pattern is uncanny.
• Read about the Arizona Orion Correlation at the Graham Hancock Forum: http://www.grahamhancock.com/forum/DavidGA1.php?p=1
• See more information at my own website http://www.theorionzone.com.
• Also consult the maps of this correlation: http://www.theorionzone.com/maps.htm
 About one hundred miles west of Aswan in the Sahara Desert lies an archaeological site called Nabta Playa. Only ten to eleven feet in diameter, this megalithic calendar circle has a north/south line-of-sight as well as a summer solstice sunrise alignment. According to former NASA physicist Thomas G. Brophy, Ph.D., three stones inside the circle mirror the pattern of Orion’s belt at the meridian for this season during the period 6,400 to 4900 BC. Three other interior stones represent the shoulders and head of the constellation for the astoundingly early date of 16,500 BC.
Another set of megaliths south of the circle at Nabta Playa aligns to the vernal equinox heliacal rising [http://www.answers.com/topic/heliacal-rising] in 6300 BC of six key stars in Orion (Alnitak, Alnilam, Mintaka, Betelgeuse—Orion’s right shoulder, Bellatrix, and Meissa—Orion’s head). This vernal equinox heliacal rising happens only once per precessional cycle (nearly 26,000 years).
Satellite Imagery Measures of the Astronomically Aligned Megaliths at Nabta Playa (pdf)
Rock art researcher Rob Milne has found at least three distinct rock engraving sites in South Africa that have been laid out to reflect Orion. At Boomplaas, for instance, an alignment of engraved stones mirrors Orion’s belt as it appears on the summer solstice, December 22nd. Another alignment of stones at the same site imitates the belt during the rising of the constellation shortly before sunrise on the winter solstice, June 21st. Check out Rob’s fine Web site replete with photographs from his expeditions in the bush. http://sabic.co.za/robmilne
Orion Correlations indeed seem to be popping up all over the world. Just over thirty miles north of Mexico City the massive site of Teotihuacán also apparently reflects the stars of Orion. In particular, the configuration formed by the Pyramid of the Moon, the Pyramid of the Sun, and the Pyramid of Quetzalcoatl spatially correlates to Mintaka, Alnilam, and Alnitak respectively, i.e., the belt. http://www.philipcoppens.com/orionimage.html
Author Page Bryant has suggested that two sites erected by the Mound Builders of North America are potentially Orion correlations as well. Both O’Byam’s Fort in Hickman County, western Kentucky and the Hill Works in Ross County, Ohio (the latter about thirty miles northeast of the Serpent Mound) consist of three major mounds corresponding to the belt stars, with one of the three slightly offset in each case.
[Bryant, Starwalking: Shamanic Practices For Traveling Into the Night Sky (Bear & Co, Santa Fe, 1997]
Knights Templar researcher Jeff Nisbet has discovered an Orion correlation in Scotland. To very briefly sum up the template: the islands of Fidra, Lamb, and Craigleith located off the southern coast of the Firth of Forth represent the belt stars of Alnitak, Alnilam, and Mintaka respectively. Northeast of the belt, the Isle of May correlates to Bellatrix. Northwest of May on the Fife Peninsula a few miles south of Eden River once lay a stone circle called the Dunino Circle, now lost. If again found, this may correspond to Betelgeuse.
A line drawn northwest between May and the hamlet of Dunino comes to rest at Dunsinane Castle of Shakespeare’s “MacBeth.” A line drawn southwest from May through Fidra leads to the famous Rosslyn Chapel. A second line drawn from May through the Lamb leads directly to Tara in Ireland, an even more remarkable geomantic feat. A third line drawn from May through Craigleith leads to Temple, Scotland’s earliest known headquarters of the Templar Knights. Due south of Craigleith is the Castle of Yester, which corresponds to Rigel (Orion’s left foot). A line drawn from this isle through Yester intersects the Cisterian Abbey of Melrose to eventually reach the Glastonbury Tor in England.
For more on this excellent research, see Jeff’s Web site: mythomorph.com - The Pyramids of Scotland
According to the Czech magazine WM, three pyramids of stone perfectly mirror the belt stars in Montevecchia, a town in northern Italy about 40 kilometers from Milan. The highest of these pyramids is 150 meters tall. Identified by satellite and aerial imagery, these structures so overgrown with vegetation that they were originally mistaken for natural hills are thought to be over 3,000 years old. http://farshores.org/a03ipyr.htm and http://farshores.org/a03ipyr2.htm
Patrick Conlan has discovered another correlation to Orion’s belt in Ireland at Loughcrew, located three miles from the town of Oldcastle, County Meath. Running for three miles northeast to southwest along a ridge 700 feet high, three evenly spaced peaks are located with the western one slightly offset—similar to Mintaka. Nearby are 5,000-year-old cairn tombs, or passage graves, together with rock art. One stone with star glyphs apparently represents these peaks. http://conlanabu.com/
In addition, three henges located at the Thornborough Neolithic Monument Complex in North Yorkshire, England correlate to the belt stars. This template is arranged similar to the Arizona Orion, with his head pointed southwest. http://thornborough.ncl.ac.uk/index.htm
Other promising candidates for sites corresponding to Orion need further research. For instance, southwest of X’ian in China’s Shensi Province is a pattern of large ancient pyramids constructed of clay that appear to mirror the belt stars. http://www.earthquest.co.uk/articales/theory.html
The Jordanian author Rami Sajdi posits that the belt stars of Mitaka, Alnilam, and Alnitak correspond to the Middle Eastern sites of Jerusalem, the Essene community of Masada on the Dead Sea, and Petra respectively. http://www.acacialand.com/orion.html
Besides providing the exact pattern for locations of temple complexes or sacred cities, the rising or setting stars of Orion were incorporated into the archeo-astronomy of megalithic construction. The Bighorn Medicine Wheel, for instance, is a stone circle about seventy-five feet in diameter with twenty-eight spokes. It is located upon a promontory on the western slope of the Bighorn Mountains in Wyoming at an altitude of over 9,600 ft. The circle is adjacent to a number of line-of-sight cairns that forms astronomical alignments. The heliacal rising of Rigel is marked by one cairn. The helical risings of Aldebaran in Taurus and Sirius in Canis Major are also aligned with specific cairns, and each event is separated by twenty-eight days—the lunar cycle.
Medicine Wheel, Wyoming
In Guatemala, the archaeologist José Fernandez determined that all of the primary temples at the Postclassic Quiche Maya site of Utatlán (established about the time the Hopi Mesas were first being settled in Arizona) were oriented like the Nazca spider to the heliacal setting points of the stars in Orion. [José Fernandez, "A Stellar City: Utatlán and Orion," paper presented at the international symposium "Time and Astronomy at the Meeting of Two Worlds," Warsaw, 27 April-2 May 1992; see Graham Hancock, Heaven’s Mirror: Quest for the Lost Civilization, p. 35.]
Also, recent study of the eponymous Great Zimbabwe located in the country formerly known as Rhodesia shows that on the winter solstice three bright stars in the constellation rise over three stone monoliths on the eastern arc of the Great Enclosure. http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn3137
The ultimate purpose of these earth-sky reflections scattered across the globe remains elusive.
“Is it possible that the incorporation of a ‘celestial plan’ in ancient and mysterious monuments from many different parts of the world, and a particular focus on the three stars of Orion’s Belt... could be parts of a global scientific legacy passed on by a lost civilization of very remote times?”
The above quotation from Graham Hancock’s Fingerprints of the Gods is part of the caption for a photograph depicting a huge spider “geoglyph.” Made in the desert like by removing the darker colored pebbles in order to leave exposed the lighter ones, this earth sculpture found on the Nazca Plain in southern Peru is 150 feet long.
The German mathematician and astronomer Maria Reiche studied this and other Nazca figures and lines for over forty years. She believes that the spider’s legs were shaped to represent the outstretched limbs of Orion with its waist forming his belt. Nazca spider
She furthermore posits that a particular line intersecting this anatomically correct arachnid from the Amazon jungles was oriented toward the heliacal setting of this constellation, perhaps for the purpose of coordinating solar and lunar calendars.
The spider figure is located close to what is known as the Great Rectangle, a geometric form of which has associations with Orion. Located nearby, an anthropoid figure deemed “the Owl Man” also bears an eerie resemblance to the Hopi god of death and the Underworld named Masau’u, who also has associations with Orion. http://www.morien-institute.org/nazca5.html (See a picture of Masau’u: http://www.theorionzone.com/outline.htm.)
The list goes on. As we have seen, either Orion’s pattern in the sky is reproduced by human-made structures on the ground or the rising and setting of Orion’s stars are lined up with astronomical markers. Various cultural sites in Peru, Mesoamerica, North America, Great Britain, Ireland, Europe, Africa, and Egypt along with other locations across the globe concentrate on this particular constellation with an archetypal intensity.
Probably not all of these sky-ground patterns are valid. Still we must still ask the question: Is this merely a series of colossal coincidences or are we witnessing a worldwide Orion legacy that was propagated long ago by a single cohesive force or intelligence? Are these correlations just the result of the collective unconscious or are they the manifestation of a deliberate, unified celestial plan? Are the Orion Correlations merely the intense need for humans to find patterns in the cosmos, or are they the inheritance of some lost super-civilization or even a gift from the stars?
Orion strides across the cold winter sky in stoic silence.
