<HTML>Hi Kat
I think what I meant was that the NY thing is obviously unintentional because there would be no motivation to mirror Leo. In this case I think that Ishmael would need to show intent, rather than rely on 'statisical analysis' - in my view, that would be meaningless without the Orion connection - if you see what I mean? RB wrote a book demonstrating intent on the part of the AE's to mirror Orion's belt.......he doesn't rely on a pattern in the absense of any connection between AE religion and Osiris and Orion's belt. I don't understand the relevance of the statisical analysis outside of Egyptology - does this make any sense? I'm not making myself very clear. It's like showing a relationship between catching AIDs and owning TV's for example. You might be able to demonstrate a correlation - but it would be meaningless in the absense of any causal relationship between AIDS and TV ownership. You have to establish a direct relationship between owning a TV and AIDS. It would be a meaningless correlation. I don't think it would help Ishmael's case in the absense of this Orion/Osiris thing ~lol~
