how casually you equate instinct with common sense

I have allready explained that my eyes do not see what you wish me to.

I have no instinctive reason to do so either..but now you have gone even further

you have equated my not seeing what you want me to see to my eyes being reptilian

and then to top it off

"flip the paper over so that the
> top of the paper is now the bottom and look
> through the paper from the other side to your
> drawing, and you will see a mirror image of what
> you see in the sky "

Incredible...but not satisfied with that you go one step further..

"If you absolutely insist that you just cannot "see" it any other way than the way you "see" it, don't make the mistake of asserting this is one proof the Giza 3 cannot possibly be a symbolic representation of the the 3-star asterism. "

I have not asserted anything of the kind

My smidgeon of common sense knows more than anything that one cannot Proove a negative.

what I am saying is that as I do not see a correlation I have no grounds for assuming that there might be.

On the other hand I am willing to entertain the notion that some people do see it..and that even the AE's might have.

Further to entertaining that notion I must consider why they would do so

the two reasons proferred as I understand them are

1.Homage to Osiris

2.and AE beliefs being rooted in a star cult.

in respect to both

I have spent the last 8 years forcing my geriatric mind to understanding Old Kingdom Hieroglphs...far from an easy task
I have concentrated most of my research on the Early pre and proto dynastic

What I have learned is that central to everything is the role of the King

this study has only reinforced the other Obstacle to this correlation (other than an ofter the thought creation of same by Menkaure)

ie the notion that any one King's Transition from corporeal existence is in any way dependant on events that occur after "The Opening of His Mouth"

one more point

"Look at Orion when it's due south - if you live on the west coast of Canada it will be way past midnight this time of the year, but if you manage to stay awake"

I haven't allways lived there

I have been as fasr North as Ellesmere Island..

visited or lived in every province of Canada..

all but 3 US states

Mexico

Guatamala

The British Isles

most of Europe

and Morocco

I am very much aware that I have to appreciate where Orion was in the sky relative to Giza in 2500 BCE to fairly assess the situation

I believe I have done so. No one has yet been able to convince me that I am incorrect..

How is that possibly my fault?

Of course if you believe that this is a matter of not wishing it to be correct

thentherre is absolutely no constructive point in my discussing anything with you is there?
