... was based on the meridian of Alexandria, as were the maps of all Greek geographers [86].

A ship found buried in a pit on the southern side of the Great Pyramid at Gizeh testifies to Egypt's seafaring knowledge in the 4th Dynasty. As Thor Heyerdahl put it, the 142-foot-long vessel had all the sea-going ship's characteristic properties, with prow and stern soaring upward... to ride out the breakers and high seas, not to contend with the little ripples of the Nile.

Bonani, H. Haas et al (pp. 1297-1320), was summarised: Between 1984 and 1995 over 450 organic samples were collected from monuments [mainly pyramids] built during the Old and Middle Kingdoms.

... the center of the north. The myth of Itzam-Yeh is replete with Saturnian imagery and meaning that coincides well with the configuration myths of the Old World.

475. Indra: A Case Study in Comparative Mythology [Journals] [Aeon]
... it direct succession and elaboration of the Vedas, other parts purveying potentially important ancient para-Vedic tradition, still others probably reflecting the fictional impulses of a later age. (7 ) If the vast majority of Indra's deeds can be found in the Veda, it is not always a simple matter to interpret their original significance. Not unlike the Egyptian Pyramid Texts, the Vedic hymns generally present only the barest outlines of a particular myth, the details of the myth, presumably, being thoroughly familiar to the audience. Moreover, although it forms the oldest body of Indian texts, the Veda itself is the product of many authors and bears numerous signs of having undergone a considerable evolution. ...

... , the completeness of the cometary motifs leaves no room for ad hoc explanations. Whether remembered by the Aztecs as a former great king and founder of the golden age, or a former sun god ruling a primordial epoch, Quetzalcoatl was a cultural hero without equal in the Aztec pantheon, his countenance adorning temple walls and the stucco bases of pyramids, painted on countless frescoes and codices, and engraved on sarcophagi and monoliths strewn across Mexico. Figure 3: Quetzal-bird, with bright streaming tail The climactic event in the Quetzalcoatl myth is the god's catastrophic death and transformation in an overwhelming disaster- an event endlessly repeated in sacrificial rites and supplying the cornerstone of Aztec calendar rituals and astronomical ...
... a sun that gave the ancient Greeks their Kirke, and the Hebrews their Gilgal. All this gave the primeval mathematician the one grand opportunity to try to fathom the mysteries of the circle; to work out the essential relationship of the diameter of a true circle to its circumference and to its area, and incidentally to the equilateral triangle and pyramid. All this panorama of supernal magnificence and ineffable majesty fixed the very name of the deity of primeval humanity on the circumference of the flaming circle, as it posed for uncounted time as the great central throne of deistic might. I cannot conceive how even the most-astute mathematicians would have embodied the name alohim in ancient thought as actually expressing ...

... Christian era, because our knowledge of Egyptian chronology, especially in the early periods, is still very incomplete. . An exact chronology will not be possible until the discovery of material of a different and more precisely datable character than anything found hitherto." When in 1947 you have written these lines and opened with them your book on The Pyramids of Egypt, the radiocarbon method of dating was not yet Worked out. Since 1948, however, in twelve years very many samples of all kinds of origin and date were tested, but not a single one dating from between the end of the Middle Kingdom and the time of the Ptolemies, more than twelve hundred years, a ...
