... archaeologist gets his information, that one is absolutely misled by the restorations or decorations as to the true date of the original foundation of the shrined. [1 ] If the archaeologists are right in attributing the granite temple of Osiris (? ), near the sphinx, to a date anterior to, or even contemporaneous with, the second pyramid, we have evidence that in the early dynasties the temple building in stone, and even in granite brought from Aswân, was as perfect in the matter of workmanship as in the eighteenth dynasty; and that it was not then the fashion to inscribe walls, but only statues and stelas. May it possibly be that the fashion in ...
... solstice and the beginning of the Nile flood, there was an event in the sky which was too striking not to excite the general attention of the Egyptian priesthood. We also know from the newly-discovered inscriptions from the ancient empire that the risings of Orion and Sirius were already attentively followed and mythologically utilised at the time of the building of the pyramids."- KRALL. ...
373. Chapter XX. The Personification of Stars (Continued) -- the Temple of Hathor At Denderah [Books]
... by priests, astronomers- if the astronomers were not the only priests- and agriculturists alike. Now we know, from Biot's calculations, that this became possible circ. 3285 B.C ., and that Sirius- though, as I am informed by Prof. Maspero, not its heliacal rising- is referred to in inscriptions in pyramid times. Subsequent research may possibly show that these temples had to do with the heralding of sunrise throughout the year, the Sirian temples being limited to New Year's Day.

374. Some observations from Jesse Lasken concerning the 'new chronology' [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... problems, of which there are many besides the two discussed above, is one in which all or the great preponderance of the material now assigned to the New Kingdom' and much else besides is placed in a Ptolemaic context. Most of the rest of the material will almost certainly date after c.700 BC, although some of the pyramids (but not necessarily the temples and cemeteries near them) are probably from somewhat before that time. I would like to see the new chronologists act upon the lament at the end of Rohl's comment on page 29 and give up the contest' - except that it would be a shame if this were to entail throwing in the towel ...
375. Chapter XXIV: the Years of 360 and 365 Days [Books]
... then, the inundation had fixed the beginning of the year, each nome would have its special New Year's Day, and this would never have been tolerated by a settled government embracing the whole Nile valley, especially as each king's reign was supposed to commence on New Year's Day. It seems, then, that the solstitial temples and the pyramids were, if not actually requisite for settling the matter, at all events all that was necessary, if they existed. But now comes in a most interesting and important point. If observations of the sun at solstice or equinox had been alone made use of, the true length of the year would have been determined in a few ...

... ' N) in Egypt, about four of the seven stars of the constellation would have been invisible during its nightly swing round a-Draconis. At present, only a-Ursa Majoris remains always above the horizon at Memphis by about 5 : the whole constellation thus becomes invisible to the naked eye. Ancient Egyptian inscriptions, dating from the period of the Pyramid Texts (around 2500 BC) call the members of the Great Bear the `Imperishable Stars' 22This clearly implies that no star of this constellation ever `set' and rose'. Other ancient Egyptian documents tell us that one of the stars of this constellation played the part of Pole Star.23 Historical documents of other countries also ...

379. Some Preliminary Remarks About Thera and Atlantis [Journals] [Kronos]
... standard chronology Athena would have blessed Egypt with civilization only towards the end of the 18th Dynasty. By the revised chronology that blessing would have fallen during the days of the Hyksos incursion, which, in fact, put a damper on Egyptian civilization. By anyone's chronology this falls centuries after the erection of Egypt's greatest monuments to civilization, the Pyramids and Sphinx. Furthermore, when Herodotus visited Egypt ca. 150 years after Solon, he was told (Book 11.142) that Egypt's first king ruled 341 generations or 11,340 years before the start of the 26th Dynasty (ca. 11,440 years before Solon). Granted that the priests lied to Herodotus, ...
