<HTML>Part of one of Dave Moore's posts stated:
"Bauval on p. 261 of Keeper of Genesis/Message of the Sphinx (Figure 66) has
the Sun rising 14 degrees south of East in 10500 BC, to the east of Regulus
(Alpha Leonis). This is aligned with the angle of one of the causeways,
which is also aligned 14 degrees south of East. This is one of the major
planks of his "Giza complex was planned in 10500 BC" hypothesis.
However, when I went and checked this out, I got the Sun rising only 11
degrees to the south of East (and to the West of Regulus). Skychart III
shows the Ecliptic moving a couple of degrees to the West in 10500 BC
compared with Regulus (and Redshift 3 and Skymap Pro 7 also show it moving
to the West slightly, although not as much as Skychart III because they can
only go back to 4713 BC whereas Skychart III can go back beyond 10500 BC).
Skyglobe, which was the package that he used, is famous for not being very
accurate. I think Bauval used this, and because of the inherent inaccuracy,
jumped to the wrong conclusion and esentially added together 2+2 to get 5."</HTML>
