Cythraul: I'm wondering, do you think there was any reason for the Ancient's choice of Orion's Belt other than its suitability as a geometrically expressive device?
Hanslune:Or based on the Egyptian creation myth, the place of the primorial mound.
SC: Perhaps but on that logic then Saqqara - where the very first pyramid was built - should be considered the place of the first time, should it not?
Why then make such a statement only at Giza?
And why would pyramids bear star names if they are symbolic of the primordial mound?
SC: Perhaps but on that logic then Saqqara - where the very first pyramid was built - should be considered the place of the first time, should it not?
Hans: Ah no the Sphinx is not a pyramid, so why bring up a pyramid used as a tomb.
Hans: Or based on the Egyptian creation myth, the place of the primordial mound.
Hans: The Sphinx was probably there before the pyramids.
SC: And why would pyramids bear star names if they are symbolic of the primordial mound?
Hans: Explain further about the "star names" please? Again we are talking about the Sphinx and the dream stelae not the pyramids.
Hans: Although I'm sure Scott covered it I'll point out that the three pyramids don't line up exactly with Orion. Depending on what you base the connection on one is left out of whack.
The evidence is now simply too great to continue to reject the hypothesis.
Do you honestly consider that tiny error to be some kind of killer blow to Bauval’s OCT?
SC: The evidence is now simply too great to continue to reject the hypothesis.
Hans: Only in your opinion Scott, don't you think you are over selling?
Hans: Here is a question for you, if you have such great data why are you posting on a conspiracy site? Why haven't you had this published in the mainstream journals? Why not try putting it up at the various Egyptological sites? Oh wait, we do know why don't we.
SC: Do you honestly consider that tiny error to be some kind of killer blow to Bauval’s OCT?
Hans: yep, […] Three things in a kinda of a line will, strangely, kinda match up with three other things kinda in a line.
Hans:Your greatest lack of supporting data is still:
No Atlantis (or whatever you want to call your "creator" state)
Hans: No importance given by the Egyptians to this concept, one time coincidence?
Hans: The unimportance of the data you say is being transmitted.

your work will be rubbished.
I’m sorry Scott but that is just silly.
your whole argument collapses
Hans: […] Under what pretext do you not accept all the other “hard mathematical and astronomical evidence” that can be found in thread after thread in places like the hall of ma’at. Why is yours better than all those others?
Hans: […] you know the data is weak and cannot face professional & expert opinions so you “hide” here and ‘sell’ to the uninformed.
Hans: […]you...cannot face professional & expert opinion so you ‘hide’ here and ‘sell’ to the ‘uninformed'.
SC: I am no fool here, Hans. I know how this particular ‘game’ works. This is a ‘battle’ and I am on the side of the heretics. I well understand that this particular ‘orthodox’ nut cannot be cracked from within – the pressure has to come from outside.
Hans: Oh really? Care to point to a scientific point in Egyptology that was changed by outside pressure? You don’t published because your work will be rubbished.
Hans: […] The three stars of Orion are used because they somewhat match the Giza pyramids. Now could the AE have been following this pattern? Yep they could except we both know that they don’t match – which is why you have to date the arrangement back to 10000 BC or whatever.
Hans: You have to find that civilization Scot or your whole argument collapses. That was pointed out to you several times at the Hall of Ma'at. That obstacle you will have to overcome - not ignore.
Hans: No importance given by the Egyptians to this concept, one time coincidence?
SC: Are you suggesting, Hans, that the AE had no interest in the heavens, the stars?
Hans: Can you point to other uses of this “three star” pointer in other aspects of Egyptian life and culture? It must have been very important so it must be repeated....
Hans: The unimportance of the data you say is being transmitted.
SC: The Giza stellar design (‘Queens Pyramids’) presents to us in plain sight the Orion belt stars as they are aligned at maximum and minimum culminations – important points in the precessional ‘pendulum swing' of the belt stars. How do you know this has not been presented to us as a matter of some importance?
Hans: Because it shows nothing of importance – as you prove by your vague searching answer/question.
SC: If anything, the fact that the Menkaure Queens correspond to the time when major climatic changes occurred on the Earth should perhaps give us a hint as to why the Queens of Khufu are also presented to us at the other end of the precessional pendulum swing.
Hans: Again why is this important for a civilization to portray?
Hans: Of course there was no AE civilization then so you have to figure a way around that …….which you cleverly did by coming up with the unknown civilization passing info on to the AE
SC: I have NEVER cited a ‘progenitor civilisation’
Hans: (laughing) so that second paragraph isn’t an Atlantis style civilization huh? I’m sorry Scott but that is just silly. Your claim is obvious as is the obvious lack of supporting evidence.
to an architectural plan which was supposed to have been revealed in a codex that fell from the heavens at Saqqara in the days of Imhotep
The builders (not the designers) misplaced the positioning of G2 from the blueprint.
SC: they [the temples] were designed according to an architectural plan which was supposed to have been revealed in a codex that fell from the heavens at Saqqara in the days of Imhotep.
Hans: So what is the source of that Scott? The original Egyptian source?
Hans: "Supposed to have been revealed". Doesn't sound too definite does it?
SC: The builders (not the designers) misplaced the positioning of G2 from the blueprint.
Hans: Ah how do you know that, or is that part of your unquestionable dogma?
Hans: So basically to avoid saying you need an ancient civilization to provide the basis for your belief you state that you haven't said that........So were did your alleged architectural plan come from and where did the message that you say is encoded come from?
Hans: Will your idea work WITHOUT an unknown ancient civilization providing the basis?
