Were you able to find that retrograde program for the stars positions 6000 years ago?
I did yesterday but it look almost the same so I'm not sure if the program is shifting the stars (it says it is) so I'm going to try again with Barnard's Star as that's got a high proper motion.....

position of belt stars

by J D Writer » Sat Oct 22, 2005 11:59 pm

It appears that everyone is having a great deal of fun speculating about the position of the belt stars at a given time in history. They are not where they appear to be in any case, so what difference can it possibly make where they were when they were only "apparently" there to begin with.

Gods are always placed somewhere conveniently distanced from man, that way no explanation is required when they are not present and accounted for when needed.

Hmmm.. not very convincing is it? Shows the importance of reading around doesn't it....

I see your point, but more sepcifically there is a line of three pyramids, but one of them is smaller and slightly offline, re: Orion's belt.

Plus I'm sure there are two other pyramids representing Betelguese and Rigel - I will try and find a picture (when I make these posts I'm supposed to be working so it might take a while.!! :wink: )
If you "Google" Pyramid, map and Orion you will find a site that shows the other two pyramid locations http://www.catchpenny.org/orion.html this is the first site on my list

Well Empeda, you could justify this time spent posting and incorporated it into your Homecare Assistance software job by providing the invalid and sick in bed with delivering the stars right to their bedside or letting them look at the stars from the convenience of their bedside and discussing what they see in the images at Asterisk.

8) I am curious if they will line up when run through your program.

( don't use your HA software for it though,,, :wink: )

By chance are you aware of any software that could be used to do pattern recognition for crater chains in photos :?:

Here is where a couple of real time astronomers could help out with the true positions of those stars, say about where they were six thousand years ago? :)

My "boss" assigned me certain areas of research that spans many disciplines, and it appears that internet bulletin board discussions often relate to the research. Often I have helped ones that were "caught" on BBS's by bosses to show their boss just how relevant the employees postings were to their businesses. Sometimes not. :(

I thought I mentioned steller drift. :shock:

Too bad that only one of your emoticons lines up center to center though.

And what about stellar drift? How far have they moved since the initial construction? I doubt that there is any acturate way to tell.

But then most things are theory and conjecture.

horsehead

They could see the Horsehead with the naked eye ????

by S. Bilderback » Sat Oct 15, 2005 2:34 am

I would try a different constellation and anticipate where the next pyramids might have been built. Or maybe . . . One Of The Pyramids Is Missing!!!!!

Or, see for yourself: [1], [2]

I never once stated that it was an exact or precise alignment only that it "Mimics" the alignment. Your photos actually help tp prove my point in that none of the belt stars fall outside of a pyramid. In your "Flipped image" One of the prominent nebula also falls on a lesser pyramid and the "Horse head" falls in another specific area.

Again, I am not saying that it is exact but it is interesting.

(At least the belt lines up (NOT PERFECTLY) even if the other 4 stars do not.

by makc » Fri Oct 14, 2005 6:29 pm

thank, O., now I see it! it could be Trojan cow, Trojan duck, anything... but no, it has got to be a horse! wow, you have opened my eyes :shock:

by Orca » Fri Oct 14, 2005 4:58 pm

And lest we forget: Isn't it a bit strange that the Horsehead Nebula looks like a horse...and the Greeks built the Trojan Horse...

Coincidence? I think not!

by makc » Fri Oct 14, 2005 3:03 pm

why? no matter how I put an image, original or flipped, over pyramids plan, it doesn't fit it: when I align any two stars at pyramids centers, a third one gets in wrong place.

if you think the match is accurate enough, consider this:

8) 8) 8)

as you can see, those piramids aligned just like these emoticons! perhaps, Eugyptian prophet have foreseen my post?

A little cynical, considering that Orion is one of the most noticable constellations in the northern hemispher, and there aren't that many great pyramids....

by FieryIce » Fri Oct 14, 2005 12:51 pm

Now you really have gone and done it Makc, either the sky has fallen or Alnitak, Alnilam and Mintaka have landed.
