... and through the centre of Saturn. 20 years ago, I published a 35-page paper on this but I cannot repeat all that here. Suffice it to say that I have recently reread my Variations on a Theme of Philolaos' from 1979 [7 ]. No major changes are needed. Perhaps the sentence about the diagonals of the Great Pyramid should say something like: It is possible that the Great Pyramid incorporated both the present cardinal directions (in its sides) and the former cardinal directions (in its diagonals) ' and there are occasional other sentences that I would now try to handle somewhat better. Several times I said little or no' when relatively little' would ...

... terrestrial: Any effort to trace mythical themes backwards to their origins reveals a celestial basis. .. .cause for finding anything earthly in myth will melt away into nothing. The "earth" of myth has the attributes of a celestial object. (179) The validity of this pronouncement seems to be indicated by a passage in the Pyramid Texts. "The earth," it is there stated, "is raised on high," even though "beneath the sky," by Tefnut. (180) Likewise, the Rig Veda describes Vishnu holding up the "earth" as well as heaven. (181) As Ashton pointed out, an "earth" ...

Monumentally hard work New Scientist 20.1 .96, p. 8 A workers' burial ground, close to their living quarters and one km west of the Great Pyramid, has revealed that their skeletons were often deformed and damaged, showing that they endured chronic heavy labour building the pyramids. On average they lived not much over 30 years, half that of the nobility but there are signs of medical treatment and they were probably paid employees.

... only place in the ancient world where these extraordinary temples were built. "They were expressing their power by building these great rings, just as we are celebrating the Millennium by building a huge dome. This is clearly a very British habit, and it is 5,000 years old." Builders of the oak tree marvel beat Great Pyramid by four centuries The Great Pyramid at Giza was not even on the drawing board when the wooden henge at Stanton Drew was built. The building of the henge dates from about 3000 BC, while Cheops did not build the pyramid until 2590 BC. The builders of the henge were near-contemporaries of those who invented the wheel in Mesopotamia, ...
286. The Saturn Thesis (Part 3) [Journals] [Aeon]
... illuminate the experimental evidence I noted briefly in our previous discussion, does provide symmetry. As for Egypt, the form to investigate is that of the triangular ben, or ben-stone, associated with the "seed" of Atum-Ra in the Egyptian creation legend. Three-dimensional representation of the ben is as a pyramid-stone, placed at the top of both pyramids and obelisks (in other words, exactly where our model would predict). In two-dimensional representation, the ben is a triangle. Now look at the triangular form we have illustrated and ask yourself, when visualizing that form three-dimensionally, what do you see? I think you will see an equal-sided pyramid. The Hindu Shat-kona (identical ...
... waves rather than a true whirl [n5 We meet the name again at a rather unexpected place, in the Roman circus or hippodrome, as we know from J. Laurentius Lydus (De Mensibus 1.12.), who states that the center of the circus was called Euripos; that in the middle of the stadium was a pyramid, belonging to the Sun; that by the Sun's pyramid were three altars, of Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, and below the pyramid, altars of Venus, Mercury and the Moon, and that there were not more than seven circuits (kykloi) around the pyramid, because the planets were only seven. (See also F ...

... thought earthquake and land subsidence were responsible - but more research is necessary to discover the cause of the rapid creation of the Fens and the equally abrupt disappearance of land in the west around 500AD or slightly later. Phillip Clapham, Hazlemere, Bucks. More Egyptian Monumental Evidence In 1971, the Metropolitan Museum of Art published Re-used blocks from the Pyramid of Ammenemhat I at Lisht by Hans Goedicke. This includes a number of photographs, line drawings and translations of the related texts. These pertain to inscribed blocks of stone that were found as part of the pyramid and accompanying buildings of 12th Dynasty King Amenemes I. Certain of the blocks described bore descriptions that showed they had originated in ...

... I and collapsed only 600 years ago due to earthquakes. On the subject of the Sphinx, it has been suggested that, as the head appears too small, perhaps it really is very old and was originally carved with a lion's head, later redone as a human head. The Independent 19.11.96 It seems the Egyptian pyramids aren't the oldest in the world after all. Several hundred years before their conventional date, people on the southern Atlantic coast of Brazil were constructing immense pyramids of sea shells. There are around 1000 of these ancient mounds, previously thought to be domestic rubbish. Some contain hundreds of human burials with spectacular grave goods and may have had ...

... BC have been found just south of Amman (biblical Ammon). Few previous structures are known from this region at this time. Egyptian Snippets (Focus, May 2004; BBC History, July 2004; New Scientist, 24.7 .04, p. 53) The town of Kahun was built for housing construction workers building the pyramid of Sesostris II during the 12th Dynasty. It was occupied for 100 years but abandoned in an extreme hurry, possibly overnight', for unknown reasons. A team re-excavating the site hope to solve the mystery. Another mystery is why it was considered necessary to build a fort 200 miles west of Alexandria during the reign of Ramesses II ...
