One problem I have with the image presented showing where megaliths lie is that it doesn't even show any of the British megaliths, which all fall
*within* one of the arms of the pentagram.
It is possible to draw the same diagram starting from anywhere on the upper or lower hemispheres and get a similar picture.
Why is one pentagram positioned directly on 0 degrees, while the second is offset?
In theory, you can easily explain away all manner of these occurrences by getting the images to fit by moving them just so. Not very scientific
though.
This just seems like an attempt to sell books to me.
A BBC documentary recently showed that the whole Giza/Orions' Belt claim was positioned the wrong way around to represent the Belt of Orion, and not
even by exactly 180 degrees, so there is no significance to the alignment astronomically speaking, and I am aware of the sheer skill of the ancient
Egyptians (the sarcophagus in the great Pyramid of Giza is carved perfectly smoothly from a single block of granite - something we cannot do even with
modern technology) and because of that I believe that the Egyptians could have positioned the pyramids exactly if this is what they wished.
It was shown that the Pyramids are aligned as they are on Giza Plateau due to a lack of solid ground of any area on which to build these mighty
structures. The Pyramids themselves, assuming they are supposed to mimick the stars in Orions Belt, are not even correctly aligned to match as the
smallest is offset and doesn't follow the pattern.
Now I am aware of the debate raging over this program, and I have a great respect for Mr Hancocks work, especially his work on Flooded Kingdoms of the
Ice Age, but having worked in market research, I know how much numbers can be toyed with to represent anything, and the same is true of anything.
Look long enough and hard enough and you can find anything.
I have seen a giant rabbit's head with the full moon glowing as an eye, but I don't believe it was a manefestation of anything other than cloud
formation.
