I think it is clear from the article that the temples were aligned both to the Nile and based on astronomy. I'm having trouble downloading the article though I don't know if its my internet line or if the web page is unavailable. I haven't read your Egypt Code yet but I'd like to ask you something. From what I understand you believe the pyramids were built so as to map certain stars on the ground. If this is so what about temples do we have the same or similar encodings there or do we simple have alignment of the temple's axis with a certain direction with astronomic importance relating to the rising of a certain star at a particular time of the year etc. Having briefly studied a very small amount of ancient Egyptian temples I have found astronomic data encoded that does not relate to observational astronomy. So the question is are temples different than pyramids? Are they totally different or is there a similar philosophy some times. Are observational factors like the shadow cast by the sun on a certain statue of a temple that makes temples different in the design philosophy?
