In churches, the four signs of the Zodiac often reoccur and are associated with ‘Judgment Day’ and the ‘End of Times’

Jesus portrayed at the Last Judgment can often be found in the Tympanium above the entrance of churches and cathedrals. Notice, the lion (Leo) on the left, the bull on the right (Taurus), the angel on the left (Aquarius) and the eagle on the right ( Scorpio).

The four evangelists Luke, John, Mathew and Mark likewise have been associated with these four Zodiac signs as well:

Mark = Scropio (Eagle),          Luke = Taurus,                  John = Leo,              Matthew = Aquarius

On Earth, the River Nile was the reflection of this great river in the sky, in accordance with the Hermetic principle "as above, so below." Herschel's earliest ingenious research has demonstrated that all of the pyramids along the river Nile represent constellations along the Milky Way, not just Orion! There are more than 50 pyramids in total, and their true meaning can only be deciphered when one considers the whole of Egypt.

During a Great Celestial Conjunction, the Sun crosses that great river in the sky, the Milky Way. Egyptologists explain that the solar God Ra (and Horus) required a boat because they sailed the Heavens from sunrise in the East to sunset in the West. At night, Ra travelled the Netherworld to be reborn in the morning at sunrise. Egyptologists reject the idea that the Egyptians understood the Precession of the Equinoxes and that the Sun also sojourns along the zodiac in a 26,000 year journey corresponding with the Precession Cycle.

In the Book of the Gates, the travel of the Sun at night along with the deceased pharaoh into the Netherworld is described. The Sun enters the Netherworld in the first hour just after sunset to be reborn in the morning at sunrise after a twelve hour nocturnal journey. There are many parallels, however, with the precessional journey of the Sun along the twelve signs of the zodiac to be discovered in the Book of the Gates. The 12 hours in the Book of Gates are structured into four groups of three hours, denoting a cross in the face of the clock. In the 12th hour Nun raises the solar barque with the scarab beetle of the Sun God from the primeval waters (Milky Way?), this is the hour of the rebirth of the Sun.

Left: Nun raises the solar barque from the primeval waters at ‘sunrise’, the time of the rebirth of the Sun.

During Ra's travel through all of the twelve signs of the zodiac in the precession cycle, he will be requiring a boat to twice cross that great river in the sky, the Milky Way! It is probably the only reason why the Egyptian deities required a Sun barque in the first place. Boats are used to cross waters, not skies, so it was used not for their nightly ecliptic travel from East to West through the Netherworld, but for their travels along the zodiac in the precession cycle. It is during this journey that the Sun would be required to cross the waters of the Milky Way at least twice. The Book of the Gates may therefore have been misinterpreted by Egyptologists as the nocturnal journey of the Sun simply because they reject the idea that the Egyptians understood Precession! Keep in mind that only twice per year on the equinox the day and night will be exactly 12 hours in length. It is therefore far more logical that the 12 hours in the Book of the Gates are in fact the 12 zodiacal Ages of the Precession Cycle.

Pharaohs in ancient Egypt were buried with their arms crossed holding Ankhs in their hands. This posture of the deceased pharaoh can be found on sarcophagus and in statues throughout Egypt. The Ankh represents a cross symbol.

Since the Greek inherited much of their wisdom from the Egyptians, it's more than reasonable to suspect that the gate or portal mentioned in the Book of the Gates through which the pharaoh enters the Netherworld is, in fact, the Gate of God that the Greek writer Macrobius writes about. The Gate of God was also called the Golden Gate, while the Gate of Men was called the Silver Gate. The very same Egyptian cross symbolism used by the pharaohs associated with the Golden and Silver gates of the soul (and the Sun) can still be recognized in the coat of arms of the Vatican, consisting of two crossed keys; one Golden, one Silver.

Silver and Golden cross in the Coat of Arms of the Vatican

The Golden Gate is the ecliptic Milky Way crossing at the Scorpio-Sagittarius nexus on the zodiac while the Silver Gate is the Milky Way ecliptic crossing at the Gemini-Taurus nexus. The Silver Gate was represented by the horns of Isis and the associated bull Taurus.

The Silver Gate is also clearly depicted in the Narmer Palette (3100 BC) named after the Egyptian pharaoh. The Narmer Palette shows the celestial goddess bull Bat (Taurus) with her horns bent over pointing exactly to the place of the rebirth of the Sun, the Silver Gate. The two cow's heads on top of the palette also represent Bat. In-between the two cow goddesses a hieroglyph is depicted representing the rising of the Sun in between two mountains on the horizon. It's a hieroglyph that is very similar to the Akhet hieroglyph with the same significance.

Bat was the goddess of the Milky Way considered to be a pool of Bat's cow milk. Bat was also the goddess of the human soul, the "Ba" that incarnated into human life form. Since the soul incarnated into human life passing through the Silver Gate (crossing of Milky Way and ecliptic), it's not surprising that Bat was both the goddess of the Milky Way and the human soul. Ba is a derivative of Bat, whereas "Ka" represents the human light-body. "Mer" represents the light of the Egyptian light-body-soul complex, the "Mer-Ka-Ba." Bat was also called the "Ba of Two Faces." Egyptologists are in the dark about her name and don't seem to understand that she was called this way, because there are actually two portals both to and from the Netherworld for the Ba to descend into the physical plane (Silver Gate) and ascend from the physical plane (Golden Gate). Both Hathor, Isis and Bat are all cow goddesses and Egyptologists have often pointed out the similarities between these goddesses depicted with cow-horns suspecting that they may have the same origins...they all represent the Silver Gate.

At the bottom of the Narmar palette in-between the horns of the bull, the very same hieroglyph is depicted as the one shown between two Bat bulls on top of the palette. This Akhet-like hieroglyph symbolises the rising Sun on the horizon.

On the other side of the Narmer palette two identical men, hence suggesting twins are depicted. They are both looking over their shoulders to a particular square over the left man’s shoulder. We surmise that the twins represent Gemini which would make sense since the actual ecliptic Milky Way crossing of the Silver Gate occurs in 5° Gemini (sidereal zodiac) and the square could therefore be suggesting the Silver Gate.

The author Audrey of the website "Ancient Egypt" writes while referring to the Narmar Palette: "They present an overview of the astronomical event which occurred on September 21st in 4468BCE, when the Autumn (Fall) Equinox of the Sun was in conjunction with the Milky Way."

At the Autumnal Equinox, the Sun was indeed at the Milky Way, however at the Golden Gate. At the Vernal Equinox of 4468 BC, the Sun resided at the Silver Gate. The author (Audrey) does not seem to realise that this moment represented a Great Celestial Conjunction when the equinox axis (Vernal and Fall) aligned with the Galactic Equator and the Sun resided at the Gates of the Gods.

Instead, while interpreting the hieroglyphs of the 10 decapitated figures near the Solar Barque, he writes quote, "The full meaning of the hieroglyph can therefore be interpreted as 'the Sun at a sacred gateway, opening or portal'..."

While Hathor, Isis and Bat are all cow goddesses, Egyptologists have often pointed out the similarities between these goddesses depicted with cow-horns suspecting that they may have the same origins. . . .   
We suggest that they all represent the Silver Gate.

There is an even older Egyptian goddess that later was associated with Isis and Hathor. Her name is Serket and she was the deification of the scorpion goddess who healed stings and bites. Eventually, Serket was associated with Isis and she was said to be just an aspect of Isis. Serket and Isis can therefore be regarded as the ‘Ba of Two Faces’. While Isis represents the Silver Gate at the Gemini-Taurus nexus, Serket is her counterpart and she represents the Golden Gate at the Scorpio-Sagittarius nexus. This is why she’s wearing the scorpion on her head while she joined Ra in his barque on his journey around the zodiac in a Great Year.

Right: Serket with the scorpion at her head representing the Golden Gate.

The sacred Egyptian scarab beetle is a metaphor for the Sun in the precession cycle whereas the dung ball represents the Sun. The scarab beetle rolls its dung ball with his hind legs backwards, symbolizing the backward motion of the Sun through the zodiac in the precession cycle. Since the scarab beetle has many similarities with a scorpion, we surmise that Serket and the scarab beetle both represent the Golden Gate in Egyptian mythology.

Los equinoccios no son fijos porque el plano del ecuador gira en relación al plano de la eclíptica; completa un giro cada 25.868 años. El movimiento de los equinoccios en la eclíptica se llama precesión de los equinoccios. Para establecer la posición real de las estrellas en un momento determinado tiene que aplicarse una corrección de precesión a las cartas celestes.

Por su parte, la nutación es un leve balanceo que experimenta la Tierra a causa de la atracción gravitacional de la Luna

Precesión

La Tierra es un elipsoide de forma irregular, aplastado por los polos y deformado por la atracción gravitacional del Sol, la Luna y, en menor medida, de los planetas. Esto provoca una especie de lentísimo balanceo en la Tierra durante su movimiento de traslación llamado "precesión de los equinoccios", que se efectúa en sentido inverso al de rotación, es decir en sentido retrógrado (sentido de las agujas del reloj).

Bajo la influencia de dichas atracciones, el eje va describiendo un doble cono de 47º de abertura, cuyo vértice está en el centro de la Tierra. Debido a la precesión de los equinoccios, la posición del polo celeste va cambiando a través de los siglos. Actualmente la estrella Polar no coincide exactamente con el Polo Norte Celeste.

Nutación

Hay otro movimiento que se superpone con la precesión, es la nutación, un pequeño vaivén del eje de la Tierra. Como la Tierra no es esférica, la atracción de la Luna sobre el abultamiento ecuatorial de la Tierra provoca el fenómeno de nutación. Para hacernos una idea de este movimiento, imaginemos que, mientras el eje de rotación describe el movimiento cónico de precesión, recorre a su vez una pequeña elipse o bucle en un periodo de 18,6 años.

En una vuelta completa de precesión (25.767 años) la Tierra realiza más de 1.300 bucles de nutación. El movimiento de nutación de la Tierra fue descubierto por el astrónomo británico James Bradley.

Introduction

What lies at the core of the ‘Time River Theory’ is more than just a theory, but a factual ‘smoking gun’ capable of utterly decimating what is being passed off as ‘reality’ today. The Time River Theory is undoubtedly an ‘extraordinary claim’.

But it is one that is supported by ‘extraordinary evidence’. Indeed, it is this author’s  position that the discovery of the Time Rivers heralds the last tick of the ‘time bomb’ that ends the illusion of the ‘Matrix’, so to speak. The new reality lets us discern who we really are, where we came from, and where we are going.

The Time River Theory primarily involves two ancient river systems: the Nile in Africa and the Tigris-Euphrates in the land of Mesopotamia.

By the end of this paper, the reader will come to understand the explosive implication of the strange configuration depicted in the image right - that our planet’s major rivers have been intelligently designed. It would represent the closest thing mankind has seen to the ‘fingerprints of the gods’.

The strength of the theory lies in the fact that its basic claim can be presented concisely and understood by the average people without much difficulty. It is the unusual combination of clarity and seeming impossibility that makes this ‘extraordinary claim’ extraordinarily plausible, if not undeniable.

It would ultimately come down to the question:

‘Do you believe your own eyes or not?’

It is of course ridiculous to think that major rivers such as the Nile are intelligently created ‘monuments’ bearing encoded messages. But that is exactly what is logically demanded by the body of evidence presented in this paper.

The Nile or denial - that may already be the real issue.

Having expressed the level of confidence, the author would like to sincerely encourage all to critically examine the following discussion, designed to present a key portion of the Time River Theory.

For a complete presentation of the wide-ranging theory and its unsettling implications for our own time, please see the book The Time Rivers (2003) by the author.
 

Hints of Intelligent Design

Shown below is an overview map of the Nile in Africa, the world’s longest river.

This is the ancient river that gave rise to the mysterious ancient Egyptian civilization thousands of years ago.

And here are the initial clues hinting at the existence of intelligence behind the river’s layout:

1. The Nile is distinctively vertical (longitudinal), and it is the only notable river on this planet to flow directly northward.

2. The Nile begins at the equator and disintegrates precisely at 30°N latitude, marked by Egypt’s capital Cairo and Giza, the home of the great pyramids and the Sphinx.[1]

3. The generally straight Nile makes a dramatic turn southward near the halfway point. The northern peak of this remarkable bend - sometimes referred to as the ‘Great Bend’ - pinpoints latitude 19.5°N.

The significance of #3 comes from the fact that 19.5° is considered a ‘tetrahedral constant’, deriving from the geometric configuration of a circumscribed tetrahedron shown below.

In terms of the ‘hyperdimensional physics’ model promoted by researcher Richard Hoagland, well known for his investigation into the ‘monuments of Mars’, the angle even represents an inter-dimensional ‘gateway’ of some sort. This notion is echoed by the great pyramids at Giza - a place traditionally signifying a 'gateway' (Rostau) - in that their layout prominently produces this very angle.

The fact that the longitude pinpointed by the same Bend’s peak is 33.0°E intensifies our curiosity as ‘33’ too happens to be a key number detected by Hoagland’s team, The Enterprise Mission.

Indeed, 19.5 and 33 are said to be the two ‘ritual numbers’ repeatedly encoded into various aspects of NASA space missions.

In 1997, for example, the Pathfinder space probe landed on Mars at almost exactly 19.5°N. 33°W.

That this was no coincidence is evidenced by the fact that:

1. the lander dropped on the ‘tetrahedral latitude’ was tetrahedral in shape;

2. at the moment of touchdown, Earth was positioned 19.5° above the eastern Martian horizon as seen from the landing site.

As Mike Bara, Hoagland’s right-hand man at the Enterprise Mission, wrote:

Pathfinder’s unique tetrahedral spacecraft design geometry, coupled with the totally “recursive” tetrahedral geometry of the landing site itself, was obviously intended by NASA “ritualists” behind the scenes to celebrate - on their first return to Mars in over twenty years - the two key Hyperdimensional numbers underlying all the NASA rituals - “19.5” and “33.”[2]

Whether or not NASA intentionally conducts such ‘rituals’ is still a contentious issue, of course. But the coincidence of the two numbers is difficult to ignore.

Where there is smoke, as they say, there is usually fire.

So how should we interpret these geographical hints provided by the Nile? Are we to believe that the Nile is a 'monument' carrying some sort of message?
While admittedly a wild speculation, this is certainly not the first time such an idea has been put forward.

There is, for example, researcher Livio Catullo Stecchini, whose view is presented in Peter Tompkin’s Secrets of the Great Pyramid:

The Egyptians were proud that their country had some unique geographic features which could be expressed in rigorous geometric terms and had a shape which related to the order of the cosmos as they saw it. They believed that when the gods created the cosmos they began by building Egypt and, having created it perfect, modeled the rest around it. …[The] Egyptians put great stress also on the geographic peculiarities of the course of the Nile.[3]

So the question is: Are these Nilotic ‘peculiarities’ a result of some deliberate design? Did the ‘gods’ literally construct the Nile and encode into its layout their cosmic knowledge?

Throughout history much has been said about ancient monuments - such as those at Giza (the pyramids and Sphinx) - bearing very advanced knowledge surpassing all that came afterward. It is of course a controversial view that many find uncomfortable.

But it pales in comparison to the much crazier possibility emerging here... that the world’s longest river, clearly visible from space, may be a gigantic ‘monument’!
 

A Literal ‘River of Time’?

Suspending our disbelief for a moment, let us ponder just what the encoded ‘cosmic knowledge’ may be. What kind of information could be so important as to be transmitted this way?

This question leads us to the next clue. As noted earlier, the latitudinal length of the Nile is almost exactly 30 degrees.

The number ‘30’ happens to be closely attached to the notion of time:

• Saturn, traditionally considered the god/planet of time, has an orbital period of ~30 years.[4]

• One month - the Moon’s orbit around Earth - is approximately 30 days. (In ancient Egypt, each month was exactly 30 days.)

• The apparent path of the sun in the sky (the ecliptic) is traditionally divided into twelve zodiacal ‘signs’ (Pisces, Aires, Taurus, etc.), 30 degrees each, corresponding to the sun’s movement in two hours. (The Babylonians, the Chinese, etc. actually divided the day into not 24 but 12 equal parts, and so one subdivision of the day corresponded to 30 degrees [i.e. 360/12=30].)

• The seb festival of the ancient Egyptians, commemorating the symbolic death/renewal of the king, was held in the 30th year of the reign.[5]

So the implication here is that the Nile is to be viewed as a ‘river of time’. This is poetically appealing at least. After all, it is often said that ‘a river is like the flow of time’.[6]

The above interpretation is reinforced by certain information transmitted by Plutarch, a renowned Greek writer and biographer from around AD 100.

It concerns Saturn, the god of time, who was called ‘Cronus’ in Greek (related to the term ‘Chronos’ meaning ‘time’[7]):

There is also a religious lament sung over Cronus. The lament is for him that is born in the regions of the left, and suffers dissolution in the regions on the right; for the Egyptians believe that the eastern regions are the face of the world, the northern the right, and the southern to the left. The Nile, therefore, which runs from the south and is swallowed up by the sea in the north, is naturally said to have its birth on the left and its dissolution on the right.[8]

Not only does Plutarch reveal here that Cronus/time arises in the south and ends in the north just like the Nile, he even goes on to draw a direct parallel between Cronus/time and the Nile!

This is almost an open and direct acknowledgement that the Nile may indeed represent the flow of time.
 

God of Time, God of the Nile

Another telling clue is found in the fact that various mythological gods associated with time are also often associated with the Nile.

For instance:

• Cronus-Saturn’s otherworldly domain called Ogygia is applicable to the Nile since the river was similarly called ‘Ogygian’ by the ancient Greek writer Aeschylus.[9]

• The Moon, associated with the ‘temporal number’ 30 via its orbital period (30 days), is traditionally identified with the Egyptian god of wisdom called Thoth. Not only was Thoth considered the measurer of time, he was also represented by the ibis, an animal closely associated with the Nile.[10]

• More striking is Osiris, the most revered and complex deity in ancient Egypt, popularly described as the god of the dead.

• Osiris is quite simply the ‘god of the Nile’. This can be established through his traditional identification with Apis and Hapi, both considered to embody the Nile. Osiris was also known as Serapis, a name deriving from Ausar-Hapi, meaning ‘Osiris of the Nile’. We also have Herodotus’ well-known statement: ‘the Nile is the gift of Osiris, but Egypt is the gift of the Nile’.

• And we find that Osiris, the god of the Nile, is also a god of time not unlike Saturn. Osiris was identified with the phoenix, the mythical fire-bird of cyclical rebirth and the patron of all time division.[11] In the ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead is found the statement: ‘I am Time and Osiris’.[12]

• And in ancient India the name given to Orion (the celestial form of Osiris) was Kal-Purush, or ‘Time Man’.[13]

• To all intents and purposes, Osiris is the Egyptian version of Cronus-Saturn, the god of time.[14] In confirmation of this, historical epithets of Orion (= Osiris) include ‘Saturnus’ - i.e. Saturn.[15]

So, at least mythologically, the Nile-time connection is well supported.

Giza Producing ‘Anchor Dates’

If the Nile really is a literal river of time - a ‘Time River’ - then the possibility must be considered that there is a tangible timeline encoded into its design.

And it  can be reasonably assumed that the river’s beginning point at the equator represents the earliest point on the timeline, and Giza/Cairo at the edge (30°N) the ‘end of time’. (See Appendix 1 for discussion on the beginning latitude of the Nile.)

The most sensible time-encoding system here would be one based on latitude, where a linear, northward-moving timeline is superimpose on the Nile.

To derive a timeline in this system, it is necessary to first have at least two ‘anchor points’, or 'anchor dates', placed upon the Nile. The rest would be just a matter of simple calculation. (The distance between the two anchor points will have the function of a base unit for the timeline.)

But there needs to be a good rationale for selecting these points/dates.

For this, we turn to the Giza monuments, evidently an integral part of the Nile scheme (marking the river’s northern edge). Giza, through its astronomical alignments, manages to give us just what we need to turn the ancient river into a tangible map of time.

The key here is Robert Bauval’s popular ‘Orion Correlation Theory’ (or more broadly the ‘Star Correlation Theory’) which traces the Giza layout back to the stars. The basic idea is quite simple. The theory essentially says that the arrangement of the three great pyramids standing there closely emulates that of the three Belt Stars of Orion, the heavenly Osiris.

Bauval demonstrates this first by noting that the smallest pyramid is slightly offset from the diagonal line made by the other two pyramids.

He then compares this to a similar offset seen in the Orion Belt Stars, with the dimmest star congruently corresponding to the smallest pyramid.

This sky-ground correspondence is supported by a passage from the ancient Egyptian ‘Pyramid Texts’ which makes it plain that the pyramid and Osiris-Orion are closely linked:

O Horus, this King is Osiris [= Orion], this pyramid of the King is Osiris, this construction of his is Osiris; betake yourself to it, do not be far from it in its name of ‘Pyramid’…[16]

Next, based on this initial ‘as above, so below’ connection, Bauval points out that there was an extraordinary set of alignments around 10,500 BC:

 Around 10,500 BC:

1. Orion reached its lowest point at the meridian in its 26,000-year precessional cycle. (Precession slowly shifts Orion and other stars up and down the meridian, the imaginary north-south line drawn in the sky where the stars achieve their highest daily altitudes.)

2. On the vernal equinox, the Great Sphinx, directly facing east, witnessed the rising of its two celestial counterparts - the sun and Leo.

At the moment of equinoctial sunrise (c. 10,500 BC):

1. Orion was positioned right at the meridian.

2. In the southern sky, the Milky Way was seen roughly vertical and positioned in such a way that it appeared to be an extension of the Nile. Orion was situated just to the right of the celestial river - closely mimicking the configuration of the Giza pyramids and the Nile.

It is reasonable to conclude that the builders of the Giza monuments intended to commemorate the extremely ancient epoch of 10,500 BC.

We can refine the date by taking a closer look at Point #1, i.e. Orion’s lowest transit point (‘southern culmination’). It occurred more exactly c. 10,600 BC. This, then, is our first ‘anchor date’.

As for the second ‘anchor date’, the answer turns out to be the ‘Pyramid Age’ when the pyramids themselves were built - around 2500 BC.

The date can be refined through another Giza celestial alignment, this time involving the four ‘air shafts’ (or 'star shafts') emanating from the so-called King’s Chamber and Queen’s Chamber inside the Great Pyramid.

Expanding on the theory of Alexander Badawy and Virginia Trimble,[17] Bauval found that these shafts, targeted at the meridian (i.e. due south/north), are angled just right so that around 2400 BC they aligned with key stars crossing the meridian ('transit').

The southern shafts were aimed at Alnitak (of Orion) and Sirius; the northern ones were aimed at Beta Ursa Minor (‘Kochab’) and Alpha Draconis (‘Thuban’, the ancient Pole Star).

Bauval claims that these alignments collectively pinpoint c. 2450 BC, but this is not quite accurate. It should be more like c. 2350 BC. All the star-shaft alignments occurred at the latter time except for Orion’s alignment with the King’s Chamber southern shaft (c. 2490 BC). But as Dr. Thomas G. Brophy points out, the same shaft did come into alignment with the Galactic Center around 2350 BC.[18]

At this point, then, the Giza monuments have given us two solid anchor dates, 10,600 BC and 2350 BC.
 

A Timeline Emerges

The next step is to figure out where to place these anchor dates along the Nile.

For 10,600 BC, it is actually a simple matter. Since the ‘10,500 BC epoch’ appears to signify the mythical ‘First Time’ (Zep Tepi), as postulated by Bauval and Hancock, it would naturally go to the source of the Nile at the equator.

It is where ‘time’ begins, as the Nile flows out of Lake Victoria. In support of this designation, we find that the same epoch also happens to mark the establishment of the Nile’s equatorial Lake Victoria outlet.[19]

Additionally, the usage of the equator as the beginning latitude is strongly encouraged by Giza’s 10,600 BC celestial alignment.

Let us examine it again:

• Orion was positioned due south and as close to the horizon as possible, thus guiding our attention toward the southernmost source of the Nile (Lake Victoria) situated due south of Giza.

   

• Point 1 was accompanied by the equinoctial sunrise with Leo due east. Since the equinoxes are when the sun is at the extension of the equator (called the ‘celestial equator’), it tells us that 10,600 BC is to be seen as an equatorial (anchor) date.

 As for the 2350 BC anchor date, we can assume that it will go to one of the following key points on the Nile:

1. the confluence at Khartoum

2. the Atbara confluence

3. the Great Bend peak

4. Giza/Cairo

The question is: Which one?

A big clue here comes from Sirius and Orion’s Alnitak, two prominent stars from the Great Pyramid's star-alignment scheme. They happened to produce the angle 19.5° around 2350 BC.

When Sirius was rising at the horizon as viewed from Giza, Alnitak we seen hovering 19.5° above the horizon. (See illustration below.)

This suggests that the date 2350 BC and the angle/latitude 19.5° are to be united. Hence we are encouraged to assign the second anchor date to the Great Bend’s peak at 19.5°.

There are other clues supporting the arrangement - including the fact that the general region of the Great Bend (Nubia/Kush) was once called the ‘Land of the Bow’ (Ta-Seti), which strongly resonates with the ‘Sirian’ nature of the 2350 BC-19.5°N anchor point, because Sirius’ various epithets happen to include ‘Bow Star’ (as well as ‘Arrow Star’).

So, with the two anchor points firmly established, we are now ready to move on to the critical step - the conversion of Nilotic latitudes into dates.[20]

As the highlights below show, what emerges is a startling timeline:

• Khartoum at 15.60°N. corresponds precisely to 4000 BC.

• The Atbara-Nile confluence at 17.67°N. corresponds to 3124 BC.

• Giza/Cairo at 30.00°N. corresponds to AD 2093.

For those familiar with the general outline of ancient history, the significance of the first two dates, 4000 BC and c. 3100 BC, should be immediately clear. The third date c. AD 2100 is intriguing too for its close proximity to our own time.

For those not very familiar with ancient chronology, 4000 BC is in various ways - historically, religiously, and esoterically - the ‘beginning of the world’:

• It was around 4000 BC that the first known high civilization called Sumer suddenly rose in Mesopotamia (present Iraq) to begin ‘history’.

   

• The year 4004 BC is the standard Christian date for Adam, the first man, based on the scriptural calculation done by Archbishop James Ussher in the mid-seventeenth century (Annales Veteris Testamenti). In his calculation, Ussher even applied the date 2348 BC to the Great Flood, which almost exactly matches one of our anchor dates (2350 BC)!

   

• 4000 BC is the beginning date used in the calendar adopted by Freemasonry - a quasi-esoteric fraternal organization whose enigmatic tradition can be traced back to various ancient cultures, including ancient Egypt. (Remarkably, the highest rank in Scottish Freemasonry is called ‘33rd Degree’ as if in reference to the key Nilotic longitude, 33°E.)

The other ancient date pinpointed, c. 3100 BC, has similar implications:

• The date coincides with the beginning of ancient Egypt - none other than the ‘gift of the Nile’ itself!

• It was indeed around 3100 BC that King Menes commenced the Dynastic period as he unified Lower Egypt and Upper Egypt - an event known as the ‘Unification of the Two Lands’.

• The date coincides with what the Mayan calendar calls the ‘Birth of Venus’ (3114 BC), the beginning of the current age.[21]

• For the Hindus, too, c. 3100 BC was the beginning of the present age called Kali Yuga.[22]

It is quite evident that the Nile Timeline is very meaningful.

Now, before moving on to the next step, let us divide up the Nile according to the zodiacal Ages, each lasting roughly 2160 years. (We are currently living near the end of the 'Age of Pisces' and about to move into the 'Age of Aquarius'.)

The illustration below shows the Nile so rendered.

We see that the river covers exactly six Ages - Leo, Cancer, Gemini, Taurus, Aries, and Pisces. Notice that the middle section around the Great Bend corresponds to the Age of Taurus.

This will be shown to have a profound implication shortly.

EL SOLSTICIO
de Pablo Rivas,

Alrededor del día 22 de diciembre, si miras a la estrella más cercana (el sol), ésta aparece en un punto justo entre tres constelaciones: Ofiuco, Sagitario y Escorpio (el Serpentario Asclepio, el Centauro Quirón y el Escorpión) Más concretamente el Sol aparece al comienzo de la región de Sagitario.

Esto significa que el nombre del trópico (llamado de Capricornio) está obsoleto y ha de llamarse Trópico de Sagitario. El trópico es el paralelo que está a 23.5 grados al sur del ecuador, y las personas que viven en esa latitud pasan justo por debajo del Sol a las 12 del mediodía de manera que sus cuerpos no proyectan sombra, por lo que pasan el fuerte calor del verano que contrasta con el frío del invierno propio de las latitudes medias y altas del hemisferio norte.

El eje de rotación del planeta está inclinado 23.5 grados, de modo que en el solsticio de diciembre más del 50% del hemisferio norte está en la zona de noche. Por eso, en una vista frontal, no vemos el casquete del polo norte y sí vemos el del polo sur. Y por eso al continente de Europa o al norte de Norteamérica llega la misma potencia calorífica que al Antártico. Es decir, que por eso se vive el frío polar en Europa, norte de Asia y norte de Norteamérica. La diferencia térmica a 40 grados norte llega a ser precisamente de 40 grados (de temperatura) respecto a hace 6 meses en el soslticio de junio.

La noche llega a durar hasta 15 horas. Esto significa que durante el mes anterior y posterior la Administración necesita gastar gran cantidad de dinero para el uso de luz eléctrica y calefacción para “iluminar” y calentar la gran mayoría de grandes capitales y ciudades de la humanidad que están en el hemisferio norte, pues la mayoría de superficie de tierra está en el hemisferio norte. De ahí la necesidad de convocar una gran fiesta mundial comercial y religiosa como es la navidad para vender y comprar, y recuperar el dinero de ese gasto en servicio de iluminación y calefacción. Las siguientes dos imágenes nos permiten comparar la noche en América y en Europa durante los dos solsticios separados por 6 meses.

Si tomamos como referencia el punto de la esfera planetaria en el que los rayos del sol rebotan con un ángulo recto, resulta que en el solsticio de junio ese punto corresponde a la latitud (o paralelo) en la que está, por ejemplo, la isla de Islandia…

pero en el solsticio de diciembre…

Considerando el solsticio en su aspecto cultural, religioso y espiritual, e incluso comercial, la estrella más cercana a nosotros, el Sol, por ser la Fuente de energía (luz y calor) del Planeta o mundo físico, era tomada antiguamente como reflejo natural (no diseñado por nuestra imaginación, como p.e. una estatua) de la fuente de vida espiritual, la esencia divina (“divinidad”) o espíritu universal de la humanidad. De hecho aún modernamente lo llamamos “el astro rey” y solemos buscarlo especialmente en verano para que nos broncee la piel y en invierno para que nos la caliente. Ni esto ni la consideración de que sea un reflejo de “la divinidad” no tiene nada que ver con “rendir adoración” como podemos rendirla a una personalidad, a una ideología (divinizada o demonizada), a la tecnología o al dinero. Los ancestrales ecos de la unidad y comunión con la esencia espiritual de la creación natural (el desnudo vestido en el espacio del ser universal) perviven en la memoria y sensiblidad humana. De ahí que la Humanidad no ha dejado nunca de celebrar el solsticio o GEASTICIO mucho antes de que naciera Jesús y mucho más antes de que la Iglesia estableciera la fiesta por el nacimiento de Jesús, la Navidad. De hecho, ésta fue inserta en tiempos del Imperio Romano en el que durante la festividad romana de las saturnalias se celebraba el solsticio en honor de Saturno, divinidad asociada a la fecundidad de la tierra. La Iglesia, tras adoptar a Jesús como héroe y mártir, adoptaría la fecha de la fiesta romana como fecha de nacimiento y “cumpleaños” de Jesús de modo que los romanos también fueran iniciándose en el rito católico (y romano).

Durante los 3 días de solsticio a una misma hora (p.e. al mediodía) el sol permanece en un mismo punto del cielo entre el horizonte y nuestro cenit. Es el punto más bajo en todo el año. Y el día 25 a esa misma hora ya está ligeramente un poco más arriba, aunque es imperceptible para nosotros. No es un nacimiento sino renacimiento, el inicio del resurgimiento del sol que viniera de decaer o envejecer (menos energía, luz, calor y menor tiempo de luz diurna) durante 6 meses desde el solsticio de junio hasta “morir” en el solsticio de diciembre y reiniciar el ciclo. Tal fenómeno astronómico es el reflejo alegórico representado por la Naturaleza, con la Madre Tierra inclinada, como recuerdo para la Humanidad de su resurgimiento tras su caída milenios ha, y de ahí que en la religiosidad de varias culturas se haya asociado el nacimiento de “los mesías” con el solsticio del día 25 de diciembre, como en la cultura cristiana católica con la celebración de la Navidad o Nacimiento de Jesús (considerado Cristo o Dios por los cristianos y/o católicos). Sin embargo, ni la Iglesia ni la Ciencia han probado que Jesús naciera un 25 de diciembre (que hace 2000 años correspondía a un 1 de diciembre). El hecho de que el “renacimiento del Sol” comience el día 25 tras el final del solsticio está establecido por el dueño del calendario (gregoriano): la Iglesia de Roma o de Pedro. No significa que la representación masculina del llamado “Mesías” o “Logos Solar” (la cultura religiosa cristiana/católica adoptó a Jesús como tal) hubiera nacido un día cuyo nombre y apellido fuera “25 de Diciembre”. Lo que es cierto es que en esta época del año la sociedad necesita recuperarse financieramente de un gran gasto de dinero en iluminación y calefacción durante las largas y frías noches en el hemisferio norte, y qué mejor que convocar una gran fiesta (tan religiosa como comercial) para vender y comprar, y recuperar el dinero de ese gasto en servicio de iluminación y calefacción. Por otro lado, lo que ocurre con el sol a partir del día 25 es un renacimiento o “resurrección” de la luz del sol, no un nacimiento. Sólo un suceso astronómico asociado al momento de la (indemostrable) resurrección de Jesús podría confirmar que el día 25 corresponde a la resurrección. Según el evangelista Lucas 23:45 el sol se eclipsó durante la crucifixión y hubo tinieblas durante 3 horas al mediodía. El día 24 de noviembre del año 29 tuvo lugar un eclipse de sol en Jerusalén al mediodía. El Sol (eclipsado por la Luna) aparecía en la frontera de la constelación de Sagitario justo 4 grados por encima del Centro de la Galaxia, y Orión detrás de la Tierra. Esta alineación Orión/Tierra/Sol/Centro Galáctico (durante la que pudiera haber ocurrido la crucifixión, y 3 días después la resurrección) ocurre hoy en día cada 19 de diciembre, de modo que el 22 (solsticio) correspondería a la resurrección. Sin embargo, la cultura cristiana celebra el nacimiento.

Durante el solsticio, la nave espacial “Tierra” está en el extremo de un imaginario eje que es el Eje solsticial de su órbita, el cual (como aguja de reloj) está apuntando al Ecuador de la Galaxia. Es el final y reinicio de una vuelta completa durante un lento desplazamiento de 1 grado cada 72 años (como la aguja de las horas cada 12 horas completa una vuelta al reloj) y es el fenómeno astronómico asociado con el final y reinicio del Ciclo maya que simbólicamente finaliza y reinicia un año después: el día 21 de diciembre de 2012 (de la era cristiana según la Iglesia, 2018 ó 2019 desde el nacimiento de Jesús)..

La combinación de la luz y la sombra, de la inclinación del planeta y de la disposición de los continentes en el Agua del planeta Agua da lugar a hermosas y armoniosas composiciones durante el solsticio de diciembre.

Lado del amanecer. El océano Atlántico cruza el umbral mientras éste toca a Sudamérica y a Europa.

…ese punto corresponde a la latitud (o paralelo) en la que está… el desierto del Sáhara! ¿Quién diría que a esas regiones de condiciones climáticas tan extremas llega una misma potencia calorífica en diferentes épocas del año separadas por 6 meses? Eso es posible debido a que el eje de rotación del planeta Agua, Aire, Tierra y Fuego está inclinado 23.5 grados y el planeta da su órbita al sol mientras su eje mantiene fijo.

Dada la distancia (108 soles, radio de la órbita de la Tierra) entre el planeta y la estrella Sol y dado que el planeta es 109 más pequeño que el sol, los rayos del sol llegan siempre paralelos a todas las latitudes del planeta, y como es esférico, los rayos rebotan con diferentes ángulos, pero hay un sólo punto al que llegan de lleno (y no rebotan), y por ese punto, durante 24 horas (debido al giro o rotación del planeta) pasan todas las regiones terrestres y acuosas que ocupan ese círculo que es el Trópico de Sagitario.
