I wonder what the symbolism is about with the fat lady statues found in Tarxien on video??? Some of these statues have been found to be up to 30,000 years old:- en.wikipedia.org...
A 2007 article by a team of University of Colorado archaeoastronomers and archaeologists (three members had been involved in the original discovery of the site and its astronomical alignment)[14] has responded to the work of Brophy and Rosen, in particular their claims for an alignment with Sirius in 6088 and other alignments which they dated to 6270, saying that these dates were about 1,500 years earlier than the estimated dates.
The Sirius alignment in question was originally proposed by Wendorf and Malville,[7] for one of the most prominent alignments of megaliths labelled the "C-line", which they said aligned to the rising of Sirius circa 4820 BCE. Brophy and Rosen showed in 2005 that megalith orientations and star positions reported by Wendorf and Malville were in error, noting that "Given these corrected data, we see that Sirius actually aligned with the C-line circa 6000 BCE. We estimate that 6088 BCE Sirius had a declination of -36.51 degrees, for a rising azimuth exactly on the C-line average".[3] Malville acknowledged the corrections made by Brophy and Rosen, but concluded the C-line of megaliths "may not represent an original set of aligned stele; we refrain from interpreting that alignment."[15]
I leave a link regarding my thoughts on the Mayan Calendar, i found your video about Malta fascinating! www.abovetopsecret.com...
Some think, including myself, that the Mayan Calendar started in Izapa, Mexico:- www.nationalgeographic.com...

Some think the Mayan Calendar is aligned to the Galactic Center, however on the Winter Solstice 21st December 2012, i have found the Calendar aligned to Egyptian Stars being Isis/Sirius and Alnilam/Osiris at the Location of Izapa, Mexico, i hope this may help in your studies one4all.
Ancient Greek day marker is sunset , but as the Sun set at location, Alnilam, Belt of Orion and Osiris star was rising:-

What is interesting is the Calendar was aligned twice for at sunrise at location, Sirius/Isis star was setting, i wonder about the connection to Egypt, graph below, i must get back to the North East coast of America.
Another way to check that Stellarium is true is ancient eclipse paths,
for Regulus shows classic signs of precession, but strangely Sirius doesn't during the periods that we debate.

Stellarium uses the same Julian/Gregorian calendar dates as your program. I have little reason to doubt the accuracy of Stellarium in regard to planetary motion in historical times. The problem here is that we are looking far beyond historical times. That, and precession doesn't have much to do with eclipses.
Can you agree that the motion of Sirius is indeed affected by precession? At the time frame of interest, Sirius did not change its elevation much in Egypt because the curve of its precessional path was on a tangent with the latitude of Egypt. While, at the same time, it did change its elongation from the ecliptic. It rose with the Sun, but it also got nearer to the Sun.
Also of note is the fact that if Sirius rose after, or too soon before the rising of the Sun, it would not be visible.

What's that thing dangling from the dark area under the knife weilder's tunic ?
it don't look like No big-toe to me
The "leveling" seems to have occurred during one particular period of time and the other stars demonstrated similar movement. Mirzam is very similar but a day earlier, I suggest you plot its heliacle risings. You'll find them very nearly as consistent as Sirius during that time frame. Or try Arneb (around June 24). Of course, neither of those stars are as bright as Sirius so their heliacal risings are not very observable.
I didn't say that Sirius didn't show precession, i said it didn't show classic signs of precession, the levelling out along horizon shows this, but this has been documented by quote below:-
What does "distance from the equinoxes" mean, exactly?
"Sirius remains about the same distance from the equinoxes—and so from the solstices—throughout these many centuries, despite precession."
This is nonsense. No stars "slip through the calendar" about one day per 71.6 years. Precession causes all stars their position to change their apparent position by about 1º per 71.6 years.
For the same reason, the heliacal rising or zenith of Sirius does not slip through the calendar at the precession rate of about one day per 71.6 years as other stars do but much slower.

Thank you for that. Thats magic stuff.

I am convinced there is a strong link here between the Mayan culture and the Kemets. The story of Anubis and Xcholo are fair too similar in many ways to be a coincidence.
