Hi MJ,
I think the alignment to stars to orientate pyramids as described by Anthony as a tool to achieve cardinality (north) is obviously wrong. The stretching of the cord is a ceremony, a ritual, with magic overtones. Clearly not just a tool.
It is wrong to attempt to relegate this practice to a ‘tool’ and try to separate this stellar notion as different from that depicted in the tomb.
Warwick is much more aware of the process when he asks :
Warwick : “For me that boils down to a WHY.... Based on my understanding of the purpose of building pyramids that why is...
Was any intended precise/accurate demonstration of alignment/whatever a neccessary part of the process/magic?
Obviously Graham recognises that requirement as well, insofar as he is looking for corroboration in the Utterances”
The purpose of the early pyramids was clear. It was for the soul of the dead king to take his place among the circumpolar stars. The PT’s tell us this, but I will not quote them here. The pyramid was aligned to that place in the night sky that was the target for the afterlife. The dead king wanted to become there - with Kocab and Mizar and Thuban. The pyramid was the link.
Anthony wrote “It never ceases to amaze me how stars can be such tiny points of light, visible only in the darkness of night, yet can blind so many people to what might actually have been going on in the Old Kingdom.”
In view of my paragraph above his comment seems strange to say the least.
Several of the pyramids show evidence of the afterlife Hed Sed. The dead king fulfilled his role as Lord of the Two Skies. (Northern and Southern).
The ceiling of the tombs were in two halves representing the north and south skies. The rows and columns of the pattern were a demonstration of order in the night sky.
The 36 columns across the top depicted in all the pyramids from Djoser to Senemut were the 36 decans. The Senemut ceiling clearly displayed the meaning of the 36 columns of stars of the southern sky.
The 36 columns of the ‘cookie-cutter stars’ in all these ceilings is evidence that the stars were studied in detail probably even in Imhotep’s time.
