It's an 'opinion' that RB doesn't share of course;

Dear Ignatius (Donelly?),
The date of 10,500 BC that we put forward in Keeper of Genesis has nothing to do with Cayce, other that he arrived at it by some intuitive means. We arrive at it through an investigation of the astronomy of Giza. Had you carefully read Keeper of Genesis, you would have realised that it come from deducing the 'first time' of Orion's belt in its present precessional cycle, and noting that it stands at the meridian when the vernal point is on the rise and in Leo. This provides a directional lock south-north and west-east between sky and ground that cannot be dismissed as coincidence in view of the textual and astronomical analysis.
Cathedrals do represent the 'time' of Jesus in there symbolism and often aligned to the Spring equinox sunrise (St. Peter's in Rome for example) to represent the resurrection. There is even (albeit much debated) suggestion that the Cathedrals of northern France form the pattern of Virgo. Being religious monuments where religious rituals were performed on a stately scale makes the pyramids the same as cathedral.
Forget Cayce. Our interest in him was purely because he spawned the ARE who somehow managed to insinuate themselves through the years in research at Giza via Mark Lehner and Zahi Hawass. I think Cayce was an interesting man and I like all the ARE people I've met. They are nice people wih good intentions and are entitled to their beliefs. But they all know that GH and I do share these beliefs, and that's OK with them. I am open to the idea of a lost civilisation and approve of the physical search undertaken by GH. Psychic research of the Cayce type we leave to others.

I'm assuming that he meant to type
"But they all now that GH and I do NOT share these beliefs..."
~lol~
but in context that's a fair assumption....
