Hermione: Indeed. And, of course, no one has ...

SC: Hermione, your link is to an article that analyses the alignment method proposed by Robert Bauval i.e. using the south meridian in conjunction with the pyramid shafts of G1 and the Milky Way/Nile. My proposal simply DOES NOT use ANY of Bauval's alignment method. I repeat - the alignment (dating) technique I use DOES NOT use Bauval's method in any way, shape or form. The link you refernce is completely meaningless and totally irrelevent to the alignment/dating method I propose. And, I will add here, the alignment/dating technique I propose resolves the so-called Krupp-side down issue (which I don't actually believe is a problem anyway as far as Robert's alignment theory goes). There is only ONE aspect of Robert Bauval's theory I fully accept and that is his central idea that the 3 main Gizamids are symbolic of Orion's Belt. I hope now you understand that my position is quite different from Robert Bauval's and the arguments against his OCT simply cannot be applied to the alignment method I propose. This is the essential difference between the GOCT (my work) and the OCT (Bauval's work).

SC: Then Giza is a paradox.

SC:...and wished to pass down such knowledge to future generations,

Hermione: Why would they have wanted to?

SC: Speculation. Science is currently discovering evidence of a significant cosmic event that afflicted the Earth c.10,500BC. Physicist Dr Paul LaViolette has proposed that the core of our galaxy enters an 'explosive phase' around every 11,000 years. The shockwave from this event could, in time, have dire consequences for the Earth with all manner of cosmic debris being blasted in our direction. Sometimes we are impacted with such cosmic debris, most often we are not. However, this 11,000 year cycle continues regardless - the potential for cataclysm every 11,000 years is always present. I speculate that the 'critical points' for the Earth concord with the maximum and minimum culmination of the Orion Belt stars and this is WHY the ancient Designers are presenting this VISUAL CLUE in the arrangement of the so-called "Queens Pyramids" at Giza. They present us with this 11,000 year 'pendulum swing'. Forewarned is forearmed. Through Orion we can hope to achieve an 'afterlife' - i.e. by understanding the 'message' of the 'cycle of cataclysm' aligned with Orion's pendulum swing, we have a chance to survive whatever dire effects the cosmos may have in store for us. The Pharaohs, at least, had a vague memory of this association of Orion with the 'continuation of life' and, of course, built the pyramids to ensure their own Afetrlife in the context of their own cultural and religious understanding of this ancient codex and the oral tradition that most likely would have came with it. This is the subtext of the Giza complex I believe has been totally overlooked. Yes, these structures aided the King ascending to the heavens into the Afterlife. However, the true narrative of these structures, in my opinion, has been embelished and corrupted as the AE tried to make sense of their ancient codex.

Hermione: "Codex" is the term for a book (it appears that "codex" is actually a Roman invention).

SC: Which only calls into question why Aldred used the word "codex" in his The Egyptians. Perhaps "model" would have been a better choice of word?? I continue my research into this.

Regards,

Scott
