Thuban was the pole star prior to 2700 BC in pyramid age. Archeologists have determined that several structures in Egypt were set up to align with Thuban at that time. If structures were aligned to the North Pole to point at Thuban, then today they would simply point to Polaris. Thuban is a star in the constellation "Draco". If it were the pole star in ancient times, it would retain the present 23 1/2° tilt to the ecliptic.
The axis may have changed orientation from Thuban to Polaris; there seems little reason to doubt it, since there is no question Polaris appears to be moving in a path of rotation, over time. Does the axis gradually move over the course of 26 thousand years or is there some other mechanism that appears to have moved the axis.
Gyroscopic precession, due to impact could have changed the Earth's axis orientation from the center of Draco and nudged it to a point near Thuban in a matter of days to remain in its present orientation ever since, and still, another mechanism may operate to make the axis appear to be traveling in rotation, currently to point at Polaris as observations of stellar motion suggest.

Anyone that has ever seen a spinning top knows, the friction of that surface restrains the bottom axis and the wobble only occurs as the top slows its spin to the point of instability. The southern axis of the Earth is not restrained, however, and the rotation speed seems empirically constant at this time, and has increased if ancient calendars correctly record a change in rate from 360 days to 364 days and now to 365 1/4 days in the year. An increase of over one percent.

The Persians invented astrological time, and describe the series of millennium reigns of the signs of the Zodiac to be 1000 years each; not 2166 years. The time of the Great Year in the Persian scheme was for 12,000 years and not 26,000. This information is preserved in their sacred document of Creation, the Bundahishn .

Ohrmazd created the Time of Long Endurance [Zravana-daregho-khadhata], which is reckoned to be of 12,000 years. He connected therewith the celestial sphere, its chart and the heavens. As to the twelve constellations which are fixed in the sphere, every one of them has its duration for 1000 years. The spiritual work was accomplished in the period of 3000 years. Aries, Taurus, and Gemini completed this work -- each in one constellation of 1000 years.
On account of the truthfulness he saw on Ohrmazd, Ahriman could not move about for 3000 years, so that during these years the work of this world was accomplished. The promotion of the world devolved on Cancer, Leo, and Virgo.
The Arabic historians state that the Zoroastrian texts were copied on 12,000 cowhides.

7. just like the spiritual, Ohrmazd and the six Beneficent-Immortals, so too are the sky and the six stations: of which the first is the Cloud station, the second the Sphere of the constellations, the third the unmixable Stars, the fourth the ' Best- Existence,' the Moon is on that station [chinvat, the place of birth of spirit into matter], the fifth the Garothman, which is called Endless Light - the Sun is on that station, the sixth the Throne of the Beneficent-Immortals, the seventh the Endless Light, the Throne of Ohrmazd.
22. And other rules of astronomy are manifest; but the more lucid are those which are manifest from the good Mazdyasnian Religion: this target over the sky, which they call the 'Path of Kayus' (= Milky Way), and the Path of the Dragon Gochihr as in the firmament.

Shat Ent Al Duat (the Book of what is in the Duat)

That the Egyptians knew about the precession of the equinoxes is stated by Proclus in his commentary to Plato's Timaeus. Many interpreters have understood a passage of the Timaeus (39D) as dealing with the precession. The famous passage of Plato's Republic (VIII, 546B) dealing with the Cosmic Number, often called Nuptial Number, has been traditionally interpreted as a reference to the time in which the Celestial Pole makes a circle around the Pole of the Ecliptic.

A city which is thus constituted can hardly be shaken; but, seeing that everything which has a beginning has also an end, even a constitution such as yours will not last for ever, but will in time be dissolved. And this is the dissolution:--
In plants that grow in the earth, as well as in animals that move on the earth's surface, fertility and sterility of soul and body occur when the circumferences of the circles of each are completed, which in short-lived existences pass over a short space, and in long-lived ones over a long space. But to the knowledge of human fecundity and sterility all the wisdom and education of your rulers will not attain; the laws which regulate them will not be discovered by an intelligence which is alloyed with sense, but will escape them, and they will bring children into the world when they ought not.
Now that which is of divine birth has a period which is contained in a perfect number, but the period of human birth is comprehended in a number in which first increments by involution and evolution (or squared and cubed) obtaining three intervals and four terms of like and unlike, waxing and waning numbers, make all the terms commensurable and agreeable to one another.
The base of these (3) with a third added (4) when combined with five (20) and raised to the third power furnishes two harmonies;
the first a square which is a hundred times as great (400 = 4 X 100), and the other a figure having one side equal to the former, but oblong, consisting of a hundred numbers squared upon rational diameters of a square (i. e. omitting fractions), the side of which is five (7 X 7 = 49 X 100 = 4900), each of them being less by one (than the perfect square which includes the fractions, sc. 50) or less by two perfect squares of irrational diameters (of a square the side of which is five = 50 + 50 = 100);
and a hundred cubes of three (27 X 100 = 2700 + 4900 + 400 = 8000).
Now this number represents a geometrical figure which has control over the good and evil of births. For when your guardians are ignorant of the law of births, and unite bride and bridegroom out of season, the children will not be goodly or fortunate. And though only the best of them will be appointed by their predecessors, still they will be unworthy to hold their fathers' places, and when they come into power as guardians, they will soon be found to fall in taking care of us, the Muses, first by under-valuing music; which neglect will soon extend to gymnastic; and hence the young men of your State will be less cultivated.
In the succeeding generation rulers will be appointed who have lost the guardian power of testing the metal of your different races, which, like Hesiod's, are of gold and silver and brass and iron. And so iron will be mingled with silver, and brass with gold, and hence there will arise dissimilarity and inequality and irregularity, which always and in all places are causes of hatred and war. This the Muses affirm to be the stock from which discord has sprung, wherever arising; and this is their answer to us.
And what do the Muses say next?
When discord arose, then the two races were drawn different ways: the iron and brass fell to acquiring money and land and houses and gold and silver; but the gold and silver races, not wanting money but having the true riches in their own nature, inclined towards virtue and the ancient order of things. There was a battle between them, and at last they agreed to distribute their land and houses among individual owners; and they enslaved their friends and maintainers, whom they had formerly protected in the condition of freemen, and made of them subjects and servants; and they themselves were engaged in war and in keeping a watch against them.
I believe that you have rightly conceived the origin of the change.
And the new government which thus arises will be of a form intermediate between oligarchy and aristocracy?
Very true.
Such will be the change, and after the change has been made, how will they proceed? Clearly, the new State, being in a mean between oligarchy and the perfect State, will partly follow one and partly the other, and will also have some peculiarities.
True, he said. In the honour given to rulers, in the abstinence of the warrior class from agriculture, handicrafts, and trade in general, in the institution of common meals, and in the attention paid to gymnastics and military training--in all these respects this State will resemble the former.
True.

Plato's Republic

Part of the rectangular zodiac of Dendera showing the circumpolar constellations Draco the hippopotamus and Ursa Major the Thigh or Great Bear. The hawk-headed man with the spear pointing at the head of the Bull is thought to be 'Horus who fights rebels' (possibly Anu) . Its strange why circumpolar constellations are shown here, since the rectangular zodiac of Dendera (shown above) is mainly depicting the Zodiacal signs.
The spear's head divided the seven stars of the Thigh (Ursa Major) constellation into groups of three and four stars. This line defined by the spear, argued Stecchini, does not indicate the meridian passing through the north celestial pole at all, but the meridian passing through the pole of the ecliptic.

First, Ormazd was, and He created all created things. He was All; He is All. He was All Round, and put forth hands and wings. Then began the beginning of things seen, and of things unseen.

Book Of God's Word Ch VIII, being contemporaneous with Zarathustra (7,050 BC)

Egyptian Mosaic Tablet from Oahspe

"For I was a globe, boundless as to size, and swift as to motion. And I put forth a wing for flying, and a hand for labor. And I made heaven and earth with wings flying forth, bearing the serpent and the sun. Square with the world, and circumscribed, have I made all things, good and powerful. And in man's hand I placed the key to unlock the mysteries of the firmament of heaven."

In the sky charts the hawk-headed man holding a line that aims at the middle of the Ox-leg (Ursa Major) appears a part of a group of figures that usually occupies the central position, the position corresponding to the meridian and to the pole. A prominent element of this group is the Hippopotamus (Draco). It is presented as holding a chain that ends at Ursa Major. This reflects the situation that existed when Alpha Draconis was the polar star and the Great Bear moved around it, the chain consisted of the three stars lambda, kappa and alpha Draconis, linking the Great Bear with the Pole. But the meridian passing by alpha Cygni and alpha Draconis has the unique charateristic of passing very close to the Pole of the Ecliptic. This explains why it remained the basic meridian throughout Egyptian history and is reproduced in charts of the Roman period. The Hippopotamus does not represent only the Celestial Pole of 2787 BC, but also the permanent Pole of the Ecliptic.

Left. View of the Northern Stars at Giza during the 2787 BC SummerSolstice. The meridian is seen passing through Deneb (alpha Cygni, in the constellation of the Swan [Cygnus]) near the centre, up to Thuban (alpha Draconis in the constellation of Draco) and passing near Alioth (Epsilon of Ursa Major).

The pole of the ecliptic drifts away from the fixed star field at a very much slower rate of 0.4 arc seconds per year, that is 50 times slower than the drift of the north celestial pole and thus is the real focal point of the sky. The pole of the ecliptic will only displace itself a mere 2.5° over its 40,000 years cycle.
The North celestial pole drifts away from the fixed field of stars at the rate of about 20" arc seconds. It will keep on drifting from the fixed star field up to a full 47° (about one quarter of the visible sky field) over its 26,000 years cycle
Due-east defines the rising place of the equinoxes. The east-west axis serves for the observation of the rising of celestial bodies in the east whereas the north-south axis serves for the observation of the culmination of celestial bodies north and south at the meridian.
When an equinox is rising due-east on the horizon, the prime meridian or 'great circle' will loop directly above, passing through the north celestial pole and also through the pole of the ecliptic. Thus, by definition, the pole of the ecliptic is always on the prime meridian line when an equinox point is rising in the eastern horizon. However, the pole of the ecliptic will be at upper culmination at the meridian (about 53.5° altitude) only when the vernal point (spring equinox) is rising due-east. When this happens, all the main 'stations' (or 'colures') of the sky (the two equinoxes and the two solstices) will be found in the four cardinal directions of the celestial landscape.

Bauval says:
If the ancient pyramid builders wished to design a symbolic representation of this special moment in time when the sky is in perfect order around the pole of the ecliptic, they would have selected a time when Orion (stellar form of Osiris) was sitting due-south at the same time as the pole of the ecliptic was sitting due-north and the vernal point was sitting due-east.
That time, the beginning of the cosmic order of the world, Bauval and Hancock claim is 10,500 BC, and architectural simulacra defined by the Giza necropolis appears to 'freeze' that moment in immutable stone monuments:

1.The slope of the central pyramid (53 07' 48'), is less than 1° away from the upper culmination of the pole of the ecliptic. [No convincing explanation has, so far, been given as to why the Pyramid builders selected slopes of 52° +/- 2°. The geometrical theories are not very satisfactory.]
2.The three pyramids are set along the north-south 'colure' i.e. along the prime meridian of the sky.
3.The general pattern of the three pyramids correlates with the general pattern of the three central stars of Orion i.e. Orion's belt.
4.The vernal point is in alignment with the Great Sphinx as well as the constellation of Leo.

In the year 10,500 BC Leo rose helically, the sky began to lighten, then when the top of the solar disk broke over the horizon in the east, the stars of Orion's belt culminated at the meridian due south, 9 deg 20' above the horizon. The Sphinx, the equinoctial marker set towards the east, gazed at the equinox sunrise and saw its own astral counterpart (Leo).
The meridian (in the sky) which passes through Al-Nitak (Zeta Orionis) continues on land as the north-south line, which passes through Al-Nitak's counterpart on earth, the Great Pyramid. [Bauval brought to the world's attention that the Giza pyramids are mirrored just like the stars of Orion's belt on land]. The 3 pyramids representing the 3 stars of Orion’s belt form a diagonal of 45 deg to due NS. The stars on which the pyramids were modelled were last seen in this arrangement in 10,500 BC when they were at the lowest point in the precessional cycle – Zep Tepi, the first time. Only in that epoch did the diagonal line through the three pyramids appear in the same orientation on land as the orientation of Orion's belt in the sky with respect to the meridian and its counterpart the north-south line.

To an observer at Giza at epoch c. 10,500 BC Leo has risen heliacally in the east on the dawn of the vernal equinox while simultaneously the star Al-Nitak in Orion's belt culminates on the prime meridian which loops directly overhead and passes through the north celestial pole and the pole of the ecliptic.

Zodiacs, like that of Denderah, appear to have been deliberately depicted in the appearance they would have had centuries before, as if to date the changes. This suggests that the Egyptians were aware of the precession of the equinoxes, even if their mathematics was unable to predict it numerically

(Left) The dark-lined circle has its centre at the north celestial pole, marked today by the star Polaris in the Small Bear (Ursa Minor). The faint-lined circle has its centre at the pole of the ecliptic at a spot within the constellation of Draco. Where the circles intersect are found the equinoxes. The north celestial pole and the vernal equinox will drift with time, denoted by the other small circles, but the pole of the ecliptic will remain relatively fixed.

Schwaller has the pole of the ecliptic on the breast of the Hippopotamus (Draco) constellation, and the north celestial pole at the front feet of the Upuaut/Fox constellation (Ursa Minor).
Bauval says the right hand of the standing Hippopotamus that holds a rope, that is attached to the lower end of the Thigh constellation seems to denote the actual position of the pole of the ecliptic onto which the Thigh (Great Bear) constellation seems to be 'moored' to or 'anchored' with a rope.

Circumpolar region in 2500 BC as seen from Giza.

The hieroglyphic ideogram used to represent Dwn-nwyhim is a falcon perched on a standard.

About 1000 years after the Giza Pyramids, a similar deity called Anu, identified to Dw-nwy, is depicted on the astronomical ceilings of royal tombs in Thebes. Anu is shown as a falcon-headed man with arms outstretched and holding a spear or rod, amongst the circumpolar constellations of the Thigh (Big Dipper) and the Hippopotamus (Draco). qq

There are references to the 'Great Mooring-post' in the Pyramid Texts:
"The Great Mooring post calls to you... you ascend here as a star, the Morning Star. He comes to you his father; take his hand and let him sit on the great throne that he may join the two 'Hrmt' of the sky."
"The doors of the sky are open for you, the mourning-woman summons you as Isis, the Great Mooring-post calls to you as Nephtys, you have appeared upon the causeway..."
The 'Great Mooring-post' is somehow associated with Osiris, the king is assisted by his sisters, Isis and Nephtys.

There are other references in the Pyramid Texts to the Great Mooring-post which appear in passages where Orion is specifically mentioned. Osiris in his stellar form is the constellation of Orion.
[Its likely that Orion was the symbol given by Osire at that time, today mixed up with the false Osiris.]

"O King, you are this great star, the companion of Orion, who traverses the sky with Orion, who navigates the Netherworld with Osiris... the Great Mooring-post cries out to you as to Osiris in his suffering." "The Great Mooring-post calls out, because you are he who stands and will never tire in the midst of Abydos. Betake yourself to the waterway, fare upstream to the Thinite Nome, travel about Abydos, in this spirit form of yours which the gods commanded belongs to you, may a stairway to the netherworld be set up for you to the place where Orion is..."

Orion, however, is not a circumpolar or even a northern constellation but very much a southern constellation. There are other passages which associate the Great Mooring-post to the 'imperishable stars', the northern circumpolar stars that never 'die' ie. never set

"The doors of the sky are opened for you, the doors of the firmament are thrown open for you... the Mooring-post cries to you, the sun-folk call you, the Imperishable Stars wait on you..."
"The Great Mooring-post calls to you... may you remove yourself upon your iron throne, may you cross the lake, may your face be [cleansed?] in the north of the sky..."

The imagined skyward ascent of the king's soul was either in the north of the sky among the 'Imperishable Stars' or in the south of the sky amongst the stars of Orion

The 'stellar' shafts emanating from the King's Chamber of the Great Pyramid in c. 2500 BC. The two southern shafts were directed to Orion's belt and Sirius; the northern shafts to the circumpolar constellations of Ursa Minor and Draco.

The mythological counterparts are Orion-Osiris; Sirius-Isis; Ursa Minor-Upuaut/Horus; Draco-Hippopotamus Goddess

I caused man to build a pyramid in the middle of the world. For it was my mark, that, from that time, man should turn from stone temples, and the hope of everlasting flesh-life, and rejoice in spiritual abodes in my etherean heavens.

Kore Kosmou (Virgin of the World) - a Hermetic Tract

From the Book Of Wars Against Jehovih Ch L V26

[The emerald tablet, the Corpus Hermetica etc., may draw ideas from Thothma. (See Hermes)]

Thothma applied himself to impart wisdom unto all men.
[there is a counterpart ( an adept king) in Sumerian texts ie Parsi'e'an language]
[whoever originated the transmigration of the soul in India its source scripture is derived from Thothma]

And there were graduated to the rank of adept during Thothma's reign more than four thousand men and three hundred women, all capable of the death trance, and of going about in spirit. And of these over seven hundred were permitted within thirty years to test the cast of the holy chambers in the pyramid. And their spirits were conducted into Osiris' heavenly regions, and sojourned there for many days, and returned to their bodies unharmed. Because of the position of the chambers, there was no action upon their bodies whilst in the swoon.

Markers around an obelisk would indicate units of time, and indicated morning, afternoon, the longest and shortest days of the year (summer and winter solstice).

In the mid-1800's, the astronomer Herschel performed detailed calculations to show how circumpolar stars would have been used to maintain the cardinal alignment and straightness of the Descending Passage in the Great Pyramid as it was being dug out of the bedrock. The ancient Egyptians used circumpolar stars to cardinally align their monuments has been accepted by Egyptology for a long time. It has been thought that they used one circumpolar star and marked its eastern and western-most positions, then bisected them to locate true north. Or that pairs of stars when in vertical alignment.

There is a high degree of correlation between the precessional movement of the two circumpolar stars and the variations in the alignments of the major pyramids from true north.

There are sometimes huge variations in the angles of the shafts from the horizontal and also their lateral deviations from the vertical plane. The (partially explored) northern Queen's Chamber shaft deviation in its angle from the horizontal is as much as 7 degrees. It does not deviate laterally at all for the first 40 or so feet. Then it veers off in a north-westerly direction, and it is not known what happens thereafter. Meanwhile the northern KC shaft deviates west early on and then straightens back up, but, yet again, it has no obvious reason to do this.

The King's and Queen's Chamber shafts viewed from above

Looking at the Pyramid Layout the Southern end (the side of the pyramid beyond the Kings chamber which is not shown) is solid rock. qq Thothmes III is generally regarded as the greatest of the kings of Egypt--the Alexander the Great of the Egyptian history. The name Thothmes means "child of Thoth," and was a common name among the ancient Egyptians. He is represented by a sphinx presenting gifts of water and wine to Tum, the setting sun, a solar deity worshipped at Heliopolis. On the hieroglyphic paintings at Karnak, the fact of the heliacal rising of Sothis, the dog-star, is stated to have taken place during this reign, from which it appears that Thothmes Thutmose I or Thothmes I [thoth'm?z, t?t'mes] , d. 1495 B.C., king of ancient Egypt, third ruler of the XVIII dynasty; successor of Amenhotep I. He became king c.1525. In a great campaign he subjugated the valley of the Nile up to the Third Cataract (below the present Dongola). Syria occupied his attention, and he at least temporarily subdued the country as far as the Euphrates River. His son and successor, Thutmose II,. reigned from c.1495 to 1490 B.C. Unlike Hatshepsut , his half-sister whom he married, Thutmose II did not have a royal mother. Before long Hatshepsut gained equal power and relegated him to the background, calling herself "king." At the death of Thutmose II, Hatshepsut became regent for Thutmose III,. his son by a minor queen. She relegated Thutmose III to an inferior position for 22 years while she ruled Egypt. At her death (1468), he emerged as the sole ruler of Egypt and as a great conqueror. Almost immediately he advanced into Syria, where an Asian alliance against Egypt waited to oppose him. He was victor at Megiddo and consolidated all Syria, except Phoenicia, in his empire. In successive campaigns he reduced every ruler N of the Euphrates to the status of autonomous tributary and eventually conquered even powerful Kadesh and Mitanni, a kingdom E of the Euphrates River. His empire (the zenith of the New Empire), extending from the Third Cataract to the Euphrates, was used to enrich Egypt with wealth and man power. He built temples up and down the Nile and founded the wealth of the priesthood of Amon, to which he belonged. Thutmose died (1436), after having made his son Amenhotep II coregent, and was buried in the Valley of the Tombs at Thebes. His mummy is now at Cairo. Thutmose IV. (reigned c.1406-1398 B.C.), son and successor of Amenhotep II, also invaded Asia and Nubia; he formed alliances with independent kings neighboring his Syrian tributaries and married a princess of Mitanni, who was mother of his son and successor, Amenhotep III.

An astronomical explanation that connects the deviation in pyramid alignment throughout the epoch.

The Mazzaroth says:
Jewish, Persian, and Arabian ancient writers preserve the tradition, that the family of Seth (Adam, Seth, and Enoch) invented astronomy, the Egyptians attributing it to Seth or Thoth, said to be the same as Hermes Trismegistus, the thrice-great.
Plutarch mentions Seth, "to whom the third day of the five of the epact was dedicated," as worshipped in Egypt. He was said to be the third son of Set and Netpthe, the father and mother of the gods, whose names are given by Bunsen as Seb and Nutpe.
Thoth or Hermes was called the scribe of truth, the twice-great; and that they held Set to be the name of the god of Asiatic people)

In the "Book of the Dead," it is said, "Tet, which is Set," thus confirming the identification of Seth and Thoth.
The emblems of astronomy have always and everywhere been traced back to the earliest race of man. The Hebrews, Chaldeans, Persians, and Arabs imputed its invention to Adam, Seth, and Enoch; the earlier Greeks to their mythical and mysterious personage Prometheus (one of the forty-nine Saviours).

Hermes, meaning great, are probably only epithets: Enoch may be meant by "the first Hermes" to whom ancient writers so often attribute the origin of human science.
A work called Pimander is attributed to Hermes Trismegistus, in which the zodiac is called a tabernacle.

The Caduceus is the Staff of Hermes. He is Mercury the Psychopomp - leader of souls to God. He is the Power of Fohat descending in spiral emanation through the Seven Planes. He is the healing God Aesclepius of the Medical Profession. The staff of Aesclepius is the Caduceus.

original version of the 'Book of Thoth', the corpus of writings on which was based the Egyptian 'Book of the Dead'.http://www.sacred-texts.com/egy/woe/woe10.htm The Emerald Tablet, or the Emerald Table as it is frequently called is part of the Hermetica and is one of most revered magical documents in Western occultism. Hermes Trismegistus is portrayed in art as holding an emerald upon which he inscribed the entire Egyptian philosophy.

According to legend, The Emerald Tablet is said to have been discovered in a caved tomb, clutched in the hands of the corpse of Hermes Trismegistus. Legends differ on the discoverer. One says it was Sarah, the wife of Abraham. Another says it was Apollonius of Tyana. The stone is inscribed in Phoenician and revealed the magical secrets of the universe. A Latin translation of the Tablet came out by 1200, preceded by several Arabic versions. None of the translations are identical, and little on the Tablet appears to make sense.

The most significant part of The Emerald Tablet is within its opening: "That which is above is like that which is below and that which is below is like that which is above, to achieve the wonders of the one thing." Therefore, "This is the foundation of astrology and alchemy: that the microcosm of mankind and the earth is a reflection of the macrocosm of God and the heavens."

Although most of the works of the Hermetica have disappeared or been destroyed over the centuries, practically the entire system of traditional and modern magic was inscribed upon the emerald tablet in cryptic wording. Some claim its true meaning must be found in every human's soul. Thus is the massage of the emerald tablet:

True, without falsehood, certain and most true, that which is above is the same as that which is below, and that which is below is the same as that which is above, for the performance of miracles of the One Thing. And as all things are from the One, by the meditation of One, so all things have their birth from this One Thing by adaptation. The Sun is its Father, the Moon its Mother, the Wind carries it in its belly, its nurse is the Earth. This is the Father of all perfection, or consummation of the whole world. Its power is integrating, if it be turned into earth.

You shall separate the earth from the fire, the subtle from the gross, suavely, and with great ingenuity and skill. Your skillful work ascends from earth to heaven and descends to earth again, and receives the power of the superiors and of the inferiors. So thou hast the glory of the whole world--therefore let all obscurity flee from thee. This is the strong force of all forces, overcoming every subtle and penetrating every solid thing. So the world was created. Hence all were wonderful adaptations, of which this is the manner. Therefore I am called Hermes Trismegistus having the three parts of the philosophy of the whole world What I have to tell is completed concerning the Operation of the Sun. A.G.H.

Trismegistus relates to the 3 philosiphies

1. I speak not fictious things, but what is true and most certain. 2. What is below is like that which is above, and what is above is like that which is below, to accomplish the miracles of one thing. I.e., there are ``corresponding planes'' in various levels of creation; hence it is safe to draw analogies between macrocosm and microcosm, the mineral kingdom and the human, animal and vegetable kingdoms, etc. 3. And as all things were produced by the mediation of one Being, so all things were produced from this one thing by adaptation. Since the God who created the universe was One, created objects must have been produced from a single - that is, undifferentiated - primal matter. This connects with the prakriti

4. Its father is the Sun, its mother the Moon; the wind carries it in its belly, its nurse is the earth. This is an especially complex aphorism. [According to some scholars], the sun and the moon probably stand here for spirit and matter. This is possible, but since gold was associated with the sun and the moon with silver - the astrological symbols for sun and moon are identical with the alchemical symbols for gold and silver - the luminaries at least suggest the two most precious and dignified metals. If the moon is associated with water, as because of its ``moisture'' was usual, and the sun with fire, the prima materia is understood to have been generated by fire, born of water, brought down from the sky by wind, and nourished by the earth. 5. It is the cause of all perfection throughout the whole world. Naturally. Must not the source of everything good be something better still? 6. Its power is perfect if it be changed into earth. The ``nursing'' of prime matter by the earth leaves it something different from earth, as a wet-nurse is not the same as the child she feeds. But the prime matter, if it is to be used for human purposes, must be ``fixed'' in a stable substance capable of being handled. 7. Separate the earth from the fire, the subtle from the gross, acting prudently and with judgement. Since the volatile principle is fire - or, sometimes, air - stability is produced by its removal. Or, alternatively but less probably, the earth is impurity (``the gross'') and a purified fire (``the subtle'') is what is wanted. 8. Ascend with the greatest sagacity from the earth to heaven, and then again descend to earth, and unite together the powers of things superior and things inferior. Thus you will obtain the glory of the whole world, and all obscurity will fly far away from you. Separate the volatile part of the substance by vaporization but continue heating until the vapor reunites with the parent body, whereupon you will have obtained the Stone, which will bring you glory. 9. This thing is the fortitude of all fortitude, because it overcomes all subtle things, and penetrates every solid thing. The ``strong'' product of distillation and reunion will dominate less solid substances but because of its own subtlety it will ``penetrate,'' and hence dominate, other solid things less pure and quasi-spiritual than itself. 10. Thus were all things created. The alchemical operation is a paradigm of the creative process. We may note also the sexual overtones of what has preceeded: the sun as male, the moon as female, the ``union'' of the ``powers of things superior and things inferior,'' the suggestion that the earth is matrix or womb, the air as the transporter of seed. 11. Thence proceed wonderful adaptations which are produced in this way. From the product, the Stone or Elixir, or boh, transmutations or cures will flow. 12. Therefore am I called Hermes Trismegistus, possessing the three parts of the philosophy of the whole world. The ``three parts'' are obscure; one may be natural science, another divinity, but I am unable to identify the third. [Ethics? - CRS] The usual explanation of Trismegistus, or ``Thrice-Great,'' is that Hermes was the greatest philosopher, the greatest priest and the greatest king. In any event, this paragraph assures us that the Emerald Tablet has unchallengable authority. 13. That which I had to say concerning the operation of the Sun is completed. ``Sun'' here means God, fire, gold, and perhaps other things as well.

Inside the Great Pyramid are two chambers, one know as the King's Chamber and the other as the Queen's Chamber. From the north and south walls of each of these chambers emanate small channels or shafts. The cross-section of these shafts is very small, about 20 x 20 cm. The shafts first run for a few meters horizontally before turning upwards sharply to rise within the solid core of the pyramid. Those from the King's Chamber pierce the pyramid all the way to the outside, but those in the Queen's Chamber stop some 65 meters within the core of the monument.

southern shaft of the King's Chamber had pointed to Orion's Belt when the Great Pyramid was built.

the alignment of the southern shaft of the Queen's Chamber had pointed to Sirius. on the 5th of August, the day of the Heliacal rising of Sirius in Egypt, the National Geographic chose to announce to the world that they were about to commence a daring exploration inside the "Sirius Shaft" and attempt to see what was behind a small trap door discovered in 1993 by a German Engineer, Rudolf Gantenbrink.

Rudolf Gantenbrink, a German Robotic engineer, used a miniature robot called Upuaut II to explore the mysterious shafts of the Queen's Chamber and discovered a small 'door' with copper handles at the end of the southern one, some 65 meters away from the wall of the chamber.

And Dr. Hawass told the same newspaper that, "There might be a papyrus of Khufu's sacred book, which has never been found. We know it once existed. The Egyptian priest who first wrote out the list of the pharaohs of Egypt gave potted historied against each name. And one entry is: 'Khufu also wrote the Sacred Book.' As Khufu was the man who built the biggest pyramid, his Sacred Book might reasonably be expected to explain how, and more importantly, why."

"After 4,500 years and centuries of speculation the answer to one of the riddles of the Great Pyramid of Giza was about to be answered. In front of a live television audience…there were gasps from those watching the flickering pictures transmitted via a tiny probe. "We can see . . . " said Dr Zahi Hawass, the commentator broadcasting to millions of viewers, "we can see . . . another sealed door..." A collective breath was exhaled as Dr Hawass struggled to recover from what appeared to be the greatest of anticlimaxes. "What we have seen tonight is totally unique within the world of Egyptology," he said, with utter conviction.

________________________________________________________________________________

While the northern and southern shafts from the Queen's chamber did not extend all the way to the exterior of the Great Pyramid as construction was believed to have been abandoned midway, Bauval reconstructed the image on his computer and concluded that the Northern shaft had actually aimed at the Star Kocab - a star associated with immortality. The southern shaft corresponded to Sirius. I'm still trying to determine how, if the Great Pyramid shafts are bent or slightly misaligned, or if they were once covered over by the polished limestone (now removed), do they point to the stars at all. Does anyone know? Reconstructing the ancient skies over Giza reveal that at 2500 BC, the Southern shaft King's chamber's targeted straight at Al Nitak (the brightest of the 3 stars of Orion's belt). The north shaft was targeted on the upper culmination (meridian occupation, cardinal north) of Thuban, near the north celestial pole. The south shaft was targeted on the transit (meridian occupation, cardinal south) of the Belt of Orion. qq

On the 5th of August 2002 at Cairo, an hour or so before sunrise, the bright star Sirius appeared just over the eastern horizon. It had not been visible for 70 days but now it shone brightly for a few seconds, sending sparks of purple and golden-white in the eastern skyline. This marked the so-called heliacal rising of Sirius, when in ancient Egypt the whole population celebrated the rebirth of the Nile and also the birth of the divine pharaoh. Because of the phenomenon of Precession, this event changes slowly with time, and in the epoch of the Pyramid Builders, also known as the Old Kingdom (c. 2600-2200 BC), it took place near the 21st June (Gregorian), the time of the Summer Solstice. At that time the waters of the river Nile would begin to rise, marking the start of the Flood Season and the regeneration of the crops and husbandry, and thus of Egypt itself. The Heliacal Rising of Sirius also marked the ancient Egyptian New Year´s Day, when great celebrations were seen all over the land.

Concerning the nature of the river, I was not able to gain any information either from the priests or from others. I was particularly anxious to learn from them why the Nile, at the commencement of the summer solstice, begins to rise, and continues to increase for a hundred days- and why, as soon as that number is past, it forthwith retires and contracts its stream, continuing low during the whole of the winter until the summer solstice comes round again.

It is thought that the Zodiac constellations were named with regards to what was happening on Earth at the time that the Sun appeared in a particular sign. Aries, the sign of the Vernal Equinox contained the Sun at the time that animals were mating, plants were growing and the sap of trees was rising after the Winter dormancy and symbolised the dawn, the spring, and the beginning of life, the masculine generative force, impulsion.

In Oahspe the season to bring together male and female is Sed, "a name signifying gentleness and wisdom. Written sign of a lamb or of the nose and eyebrows of man. A symbol of stars and zodiac".

In Egypt, Ammon Ra - the God of Fertility and Creative Life - was depicted with the body of a man and the head of a ram. On New Year's Day - day one of the peret season, the time of the inundation of the Nile, the Pharaoh travelled from Memphis to the temple of Amun at Karnak to perform the heb-sed ritual (dating from predynastic times) to bring back the harmony between the king and the universe and renew his right to rule as the divine son of the god on earth.
The open court of the Step Pyramid at Sakkara seems to have been used for the function of Djoser's Heb-Sed Festival. Those who were privy to participate in this festival of the king's revitalization witnessed several different rituals. One was the king giving offerings to the goddess Sechat-Hor, who had fed Horus (the king) with her holy milk-the drink of immortality.
The most important one was, to show the king's continued potency, the king would run around the field (or within the Sed courtyard) while carrying several ritual articles in his hands that gave the king the right to possess Egypt. In the course of the festival, priests led the king into two pavilions where he received the crowns of Upper and Lower Egypt, symbolically renewing the crowning ceremony.

The Jewish Nisan (March-April), was associated with Aries. Josephus said that it was when the Sun was here in this month that his people were released from the bondage of Egypt. Similarly in Assyria for the same month Nisanu, Aries represented the Altar and the Sacrifice, when a ram was sacrificed.

It is interesting that the day of Passover (on the first full moon nearest the Vernal Equinox) associated with the lamb's blood occurs near the Vernal Equinox. This possibly coincides with the Sed festival. Its centerpiece is a ritual family meal known as the seder.

On the Vernal Equinox, The Wiccans observe the feast Eostre, (named after the Teutonic Goddess of Spring), and mark it with rituals of renewal and rebirth. Eggs are the primary symbol of Eostre. The name of Eostra's festival, Easter in English or Ostern in German, was transferred to the celebration of Christ's resurrection. In other European languages the holiday's name is based on the Hebrew word pasah meaning 'to pass over' from the Jewish Passover: in Latin Pascha, in Italian Pasqua and in French Pâques, Danish and Norwegian Påske and Russian Pas-ha. The name Ostara means 'east', the direction of the rising sun, with connotations of dawn and morning light. Easter is observed on the first full moon after the vernal equinox, like the Passover.

Anglo-Saxon=eâster, eâstron; Old High German=ôstra, ôstrara, ôstrarûn; German=Ostern.
The Greek term for Easter, pascha is the Aramaic form of the Hebrew word pesach (transitus, passover). The Latins called Easter Pascha resurrectionis and Good Friday 'Pascha crucifixionis'. The Romance languages have adopted the Hebrew-Greek term: Latin=Pascha; Italian=Pasqua; Spanish=Pascua.
Celtic and Teutonic nations use it: Scottish=Pask; Dutch=Paschen; Danish=Paaske; Swedish=Pask;
In the German provinces of the Lower Rhine the people call the feast Paisken not Ostern. The word is, identified with "solemnity" and extended to the feasts Pascua florida=Palm Sunday (Spain); Pascua de Pentecostes=Pentecost; Pascua de la Natividad=Christmas; Pascua de Epifania=Epiphany. In some parts of France also First Communion is called Pâques, whatever time of the year administered.

The Apostolic Fathers do not mention Easter. Catholics say the connection between the Jewish Passover and the Christian feast of Easter is both "real" (since Christ died on the first Jewish Easter Day), and ideal (Christ's death and Resurrection was figured in the Old Law, as in the paschal lamb, which was eaten towards evening of the 14th of Nisan. The Jewish feast was taken over into the Christian Easter celebration; the liturgy sings of the passing of Israel through the Red Sea, the paschal lamb, the column of fire, etc. The exact calendar date of Christ's death was the day after the 14th of the first month, the 15th of Nisan of their calendar. Christ, the 'true' Paschal Lamb, had been slain on the day when the Jews sacraficed the figurative lamb.
Every Sunday of the year was a commemoration of the Resurrection of Christ, which had occurred on a Sunday. Because the Sunday after 14 Nisan was the historical day of the Resurrection, at Rome this Sunday became the Christian feast of Easter. Easter was celebrated in Rome and Alexandria on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox, and the Roman Church claimed for this observance the authority of Sts. Peter and Paul.
The spring equinox in Rome fell on 25 March; in Alexandria on 21 March. At Antioch Easter was kept on the Sunday after the Jewish Passover. In Gaul a number of bishops, wishing to escape the difficulties of the paschal computation, seem to have assigned Easter to a fixed date of the Roman calendar, celebrating the death of Christ on 25 March, His Resurrection on 27 March

The word Easter may come from Eostre, the Anglo-Saxon name of a Teutonic goddess of Spring and fertility, whose festival was celebrated at the vernal equinox. Wearing a new hat (Easter bonnet) and outfit on Easter Sunday was a symbol of spiritual rebirth.
The word "bonnet" goes back to a Latin term (boneta/bonetus) meaning "materials for hats". Rabbits signified part of pre-Christian fertility lore and symbolized the abundance of new life associated with Spring. The ancient German goddess Ostara (the Anglo- Saxon Eostre) appeared with a hare, which may have been the origins of the modern Easter Bunny. In Germany, the Easter Bunny lays red eggs on Maundy (Holy) Thursday and different colored eggs on Easter Eve. The custom of the Easter Bunny was brought to America from German settlers who referred to him as "Oschter Haws." The Pennsylvania Dutch would make nests for the rabbit and on Easter Eve, the rabbit would lay colorful eggs in the nests or in caps or bonnets left out for him.
The word bunny was originally a term of endearment for a child or woman, most likely formed from Scottish bun, "tail of a hare." Easter eggs symbolize fertility and immortality and the egg is an important part of mythology, ever since the ancient Egyptians. For Christians, the egg is associated with the rock tomb from which Christ emerged to start His new life. During the 40-day period of Lent, eggs and other dairy products are prohibited among Orthodox Christians. The tradition of coloring Easter eggs probably started with medieval travelers to Egypt and Persia, where people dyed eggs for their Spring festivals.
The term Easter egg came into English around 1825 and was earlier called pace egg or paste-egg. The word Lent comes from an Anglo-Saxon word meaning "spring" or "lengthening days." It is a time of preparation for Easter and a time to strengthen one's faith through repentance and prayer. Lent is often observed with periods of fasting, abstaining from meat and dairy products, and other penitential activities.
Shrove Tuesday is the day observed for confession and absolution, Ash Wednesday gets its name from the custom of marking the foreheads of penitents with ashes on that day, and Maundy Thursday (Holy Thursday) developed from maunde, Christ's command to love one another. The day honors the Last Supper and the ceremony of the washing of the feet. Good Friday defines good in terms of "holy; observed as a holy day" and may be the oldest Christian celebration. Its name is likely a corruption of "God's Friday." Palm Sunday commemorates Jesus' entry into Jerusalem where he was covered with palms by the crowds. The Zoroastrian New Year starts at the exact moment of the beginning of the spring in the Northern Hemisphere, ie. March 21. The New Year celebration is called Novruz, meaning new day. Novrus has been celebrated among Iranian peoples for thousands of years. +

As the Earth tilts towards the sun in spring, there is more sunlight for growth of the plant plankton in the sea. An explosion of life occurs which heralds the beginning of the breeding season for most of the life in the sea. The best joining time for all sheep breeds would be from March to May and the worst time late winter/early spring.

Reviewing Jim Dennon's article 'Removing OAHSPE's Enigma'

I'm not sure whether the journey of the earth around Cvorkum is related to the Solar Apex, the turning of the spiral arms of the Milky Way, the Solar Systems orbit around the galactic centre, or a completely unseen, transdimensional motion.

And the time from one dawn of dan to another shall be called one dan'ha; and four dan'ha shall be called one square, because this is the sum of one density, which is twelve thousand of the earth's years. And twelve squares shall be called one cube, which is the first dividend of the third space, in which there is no variation in the vortex of the earth. And four cubes shall be called one sum, because the magnitude thereof embraceth one equal of the Great Serpent.

Ashong 2:6

And Jehovih caused the earth, and the family of the sun to travel in an orbit, the circuit of which requireth of them four million seven hundred thousand years.

Book of Jehovih 7:2

1 Cevorkum = 8 Sum/Garden/Magnitudes = 8 x 576,000 years = 4,608,000 years
choosing 8 complete Gardens per circuit, 4,700,000 years, the figure for the orbit of the Great Serpent, being the rounded number.

And the record of the Great Serpent showed the firmament of Tem'yi in the third circuit of c'v'wark'um and dan'ha twenty-four.

Sethantes 2:29

My English Oahspe adds this editors note: -
This would make the age of the earth at that time 9,470,500 years.

Dennon says: -
"In the history of man on earth, the current garden is the 23^rd, being the 7^th magnitude/sum in the third circuit of cervorkum."

2 cevorkums x 8 gardens per cervorkum = 16 gardens
16 gardens + 7 seventh magnitude or sum = 23 gardens

That would be: -
23 gardens x 576,000 years = 13,248,000 years

I'm told the 1882 Oahspe editors note says: -
This would make the age of the earth at that time 13,172,000 years old.

Where is the firmament of Tem'yi shown in the plates or elsewhere?

Somehow Jim makes a magnitude equivalent to a sum. Is there somewhere that verifies this? The passage he cites claiming the magnitude is the 7^th is Aph 3:3

And I examined the records of the stars of heaven, and of the earth; and the accounts of Jehovih's harvests, and I perceived the bondage and labor of the red star were of the seventh magnitude in the advance of habitable worlds.

"The third circuit of c'v'wark'um and dan'ha twenty-four" can also be interpreted to mean: -

1 Cevorkum = 24,000 years (if you believe that the period of cervorkum is the same as a Platonic year).

In the fold out record of cervorkum (in Oahspe) it could be thought that this is the complete cycle ie., twenty-four thousand years before the kosmon era.

3 Cevorkums = 72,000 years
24 Dan'ha = 24 x 3,000 years = 72,000 years
ie., 3 circuits of c'v'wark'um that are equivalent to dan'ha twenty-four.

In the time of the world twenty-four thousand years before the kosmon era, the great serpent (solar phalanx) being in the arc of Noe, in the etherean heavens, and of the Sum of Howt and ji'ya eighty-seven, the earth and her heavens were in great darkness.

Book of Aph Ch I v1

We search for a gnostic (hidden) knowledge, or what science would call an analytical formula on which to base our times and seasons. The "secret" of Jewish calendar making is said to use the Babylonian (or Metonic) 19-year lunar cycle to calculate the dates of Passover. It returns the Moon to the same phase on the same solar year date.
The Draconic, Saronic, nutation and Metonic Cycles are all of similar duration. They

seems to also be the oscillaic, motion of the earth.
qq nodical month (Draconic month)

The interval of time between two successive transits of the Moon through its ascending node. Metonic Cycle. Every 19.0 tropical years (or 235 synodic months) from the precise date of a full/new Moon, another full/new Moon occurs at approximately the same degree of the ecliptic and about the same date. The ancient Greeks called 19 the golden number as the same lunar phase repeats on the same date every 19.0 years.

It is said to be a small, irregular oscillation of the axis of the Earth in the precessional motion of Earth's rotational axis, caused by the Moon's minutely greater gravitational effect on the Earth's equatorial "bulge". It has a principal period of 18.6 years, and moves the equinox as much as 17" ahead of or behind its mean position.

In 'On the Revolutions of Heavenly Spheres', Copernicus described three motions of Earth that account for important visible movements in the sky. The first is Earth's rotation on its axis from west to east, which accounts for the movement of the Sun and stars from east to west. The second motion is Earth's revolution around the Sun from west to east (counterclockwise), which accounts for the eastward drift of the Sun throughout the year. The third motion is a compensatory east-to-west (clockwise) motion in declination that allows Earth's axis to point in the same general direction as it revolves around the Sun.

It seems that what Copernicus meant by the third motion of Earth is the characteristic that keeps the Earth's axis pointing in the same direction as it proceeds along its orbit. This does not imply precession like all writers seem to say. 23. In the case of double stars, and triplets, and so on, if conjoined, the center of gravitation (so-called) is not to each one, but to the intervening center between them. The polarity of such a group is as to the vortex.

Book Of Cosmogony And Prophecy Ch.III

Possibly, vorkum refers to the 24,000 year precessional eliptical circuit of the Solar Phalanx, and Cevorkum refers to the circuit of roadway of vorkum. nutation A small, irregular, recurrent oscillation or wobble of the axis of the Earth, caused by the Moon's minutely greater gravitational effect on the Earth's equatorial bulge. It has a principal period of 18.6 years (the same as that of the precession of the moon's nodes) and moves the equinox as much as 17" ahead of or behind its mean position. The time taken for the Moon's north node to complete one 360° cycle retrograde (ie: clockwise) through the ecliptic circle

For example, many of these observatories, including Stonehenge on England's Salisbury Plain, accurately record the 18.6-year cycle of the moon. This cycle causes every eclipse of the sun to repeat itself at a different place on the earth every 18.6 years. It also creates an 18.6-year wave or nodding in the precessional movement called nutation.

Furthermore, the 'circle' is not smooth but wavy owing to the phenomenon of nutation, a 'nodding' movement of the earth's axis with a period of 18.6 years and an amplitude of 9.2 arc-seconds. Its chief cause lies in the fact that the moon's orbital plane is inclined at about 5° to the earth's orbital plane and precesses around it in 18.6 years ('ideal' figure: 18 years). The 'circle' described in a complete precessional cycle therefore has about 1440 waves (= 25,920/18). (It is interesting to note that there are 1440 minutes in a day, and a human being breathes an average of 18 times a minute: 18 x 1440 = 25,920.) The approximate circle (with superimposed nutation) is traced in an anticlockwise direction as viewed from the earth, or in a clockwise direction as viewed from the north ecliptic pole.

16. In prophesying the tendency of a planet's approach to death, refer once more to the moon: Now the moon hath, as to the earth's face, no axial revolution. But it must be remembered the moon can not go around the earth without making an actual axial revolution. Seventy and one-half revolutions of the moon's vortex complete one travel around the earth's vortex. Consequently we arrive at the exact speed of the moon's vortexya and the strength of light and heat manifested on the moon. The student should make allowance for the moon's ellipse, for the light of the moon is much stronger (as seen from the earth) some times than others.

17. Place the se'muan age at ninety-nine degrees, the time of quickening animal life. It will be found that the moon at such period must have had an axial motion, facing the earth, of three and four-sevenths' times faster than the earth. Whilst at the same period of time the earth made its daily revolution in what would now be twenty-one hours and forty minutes. This would give a difference in animal heat of two and a half degrees of vortexya on the earth, as compared to the se'muan age. Consequently large animals, which are now extinct, had a temperature (average) higher of two and a half degrees than at present. Wherein we perceive three hours and seventeen minutes' loss in axial motion produced a loss of two and a half degrees of vortexian heat.

18. The difference, therefore, on the moon, in temperature below blood-heat and what it now must be, must correspond exactly with its comparative slowness (one revolution a month), as to the loss manifested on the earth. Now, although the student will discover the moon hath fallen to a temperature far below zero, yet it emitteth both light and heat.

19. To find the se'muan age (especially of man), place his temperature at ninety-eight (for good health), and one hundred and two at inflammation or death. Four below normal will, therefore, be the period of man's inhabitation of the earth. After the vortexian radiation reacheth this period, man will cease to propagate, and, so, become extinct as to the earth.

20. This giveth man eight degrees of vortexya as the sum of his existence. One degree is equivalent to twelve million seven hundred and sixty thousand radi c'vorkum. The serpent's coil would be one and one-fourth. That is, twenty-four thousand years to the time of completion. Thus, 12,760,000 divided by 260,000 add 1,402 1-2 add 24,000 x 3 = 76,750 years, the time of the se'muan age for man. To this should be added one cycle, of, say, three thousand years, which was the beginning of the fall of se'mu..780 21. By reversing these measurements, find the axial decrease of the earth in seventy-eight thousand years, which will be just one hundred minutes, or 3-340ths of a second annually, which is the earth's decline in speed. For which reason the first of the race of man on earth began about seventy-eight thousand years B.K.

12,760,000 / 260,000 + 1,402 1-2 + 24,000 x 3 = 76,750 years
12760000 / 260000 = 49.07692
24,000 x 3 = 72,000
1,402 1-2 = 76750-49.07692-72,000 = 4700.923
49.07692 + 4700.923 + 72,000 = 76,750 years, the time of the se'muan age for man.

12760000/260000=49.07692 12760000/260000+1402 1-2

Under the 'divine year' interpretation:
12,000 years x 360 days = 4,320,000 years = 1Mahayuga or Manvantara.
1 day of Brahman = 1000 Maha-Yugas = 1,000 x 4,320,000 years = 4,320 million years
Kalpa = 1 day and night of Brahman = 2 x 4,320 million years = 8,640 million years

The age of Brahma is tied back to the solar year (ie 360 degree rotation) and the value of pi [3.14159]
One age of Brahma is said to be 314,159,000,000,000 years but is calculated by:
1 age of Brahma (100 divine years) = 100 x 8,640 million x 360° = 311,040,000 million mortal years.

If a cycle (the length of Manu's life) of one man, Manu or Manvantara is taken to be three thousand years, as according to the first Bible of Vind'yu, then:

A period of Manu (Manvantara) = 1 Dan'ha = 3,000 years
1 Maha Yuga = 4 Manus = 12,000 years = 2 Platonic Year seasons = 1 Era (1 age of the gods, period from Osire to Kosmon)
The total period of the cycle = 1 Gadol = 8 Manus = 24,000 years
The entire history of Man till Kosmon = 6 Eras (the duration of Seffas) = 3 Gadols = 24 Manus = 72,000 years
1 day of Brahman = 1,000 Maha Yugas = 12 million years
1 day and night of Brahman = 24 million years
1 age of Brahma (100 divine years) = 100 x 24 million = 2,400 million years
This is also 100 million Gadols = 100 x 1000 x 8 Manus

The circuit of Cevorkum is 4,700,000 years = 100 x 1000 x 47 with 4,700,000 / 3,000 = 1567° in the cycle
Compare this with 311,040,000 million . . . . . 100 x 1000 x 4,320,000 x 360 x 2
And with 2,400 million years . . . . . . . . . . . . . 100 x 1000 x 4 x 2 Manus

Bode's law or Titius-Bode law
Johann Elert Bode (1747-1826) was a German astronomer, known for "Bode's Law" which attempts to explain the sizes of the planetary orbits. This is a mathematical formula which generates, with a fair amount of accuracy, the semimajor axes of the planets in order out from the Sun.
Write down the sequence
0, 3, 6, 12, 24, ...
and add 4 to each term:
4, 7, 10, 16, 28, ...
Then divide each term by 10. This leaves you with the series
0.4, 0.7, 1.0, 1.6, 2.8, ...
which is intended to give you the semimajor axes of the planets measured in astronomical units.

Bode's law had no theoretical justification when it was first introduced; it did, however, agree with the soon-to-be-discovered planet Uranus' orbit (19.2 au actual; 19.7 au predicted). Similarly, it predicted a missing planet between Mars and Jupiter, and shortly thereafter the asteroids were found in very similar orbits (2.77 au actual for Ceres; 2.8 au predicted). The series, however, seems to skip over Neptune's orbit. The form of Bode's law (that is, a roughly geometric series) is not surprising, considering our theories on the formation of solar systems, but its particular formulation is thought of as coincidental.
When this "law" was first posited we did not know of the existence of planets beyond Saturn. The fact that Uranus and Neptune, when discovered, fitted , when discovered, fitted so well to this curve seemed to give it some credence, though there are some minor discrepancies (in the positions of Mars and Venus) in even the inner part of the system. The discovery of the asteroids - near but generally inside their "Titus-Bode" position - and then of Pluto which is way off the line, cast the theory into doubt, though it could be argued these are explicable exceptions from an otherwise well-maintained rule. It has been pointed out that many satellites of the major planets also seem to follow a similar sort of rule. There have been attempts to explain why planets might tend to form in this sort of spacing, but it is still a matter of disagreement as to whether we should read any significance into this "rule" for the planets' spacing.

In conclusion
I have reasonably identified the four motions of the earth [axial( the earth's rotation) and orbitic (the earth's rotation and orbit around the sun)]. The great mysteries revealed by Osire, and now being pursued by countless Internet websites dealing with mythology, paganism, New Age, astrology and precession. Among the many famous authors are Robert Bauval and Graham Hancock, whose ideas have sparked the world's imagination. All these are opening the way, bringing to the forefront the knowledge of the ancients, and hand us the keys to understand the Oahspe.

Osire, through his mathematicians, now furnished the Lords with maps of corporeal stars, and moon, and sun, and the position of the earth, with the sun-belt, and bestowed the names of animals upon them. Showed where the region of Cows was; the place of Bulls; the place of Bears; the place of Horses; the place of Fishes; the place of Scorpions; the place of Sheep; the place of Lions; the place of Crabs; the place of Death; the place of Life; the place of Capricornus; and marked the seasons, and made twelve sections (months) to the year, which was the width of the sun-belt.

And he placed the sun in the midst and made lines thence to the stars, with explanations of the powers of the seasons on all the living.

And he gave the times of Jehovih, the four hundred years of the ancients, and the half-times of dan, the base of prophecy; the variations of thirty-three years; the times of eleven; and the seven and a half times of the vortices of the stars, so that the seasons might be foretold, and famines averted on the earth.

When the tablets were completed and ready to deliver to the Lords, Osire said:

Take these and bestow them on mortals, both through the oracles and by inspiration, making them sacred with the prophets, and seers, and priests, and their kings and queens.

Come in the starlight, and I (Osire) will give you the signs, that ye may know these things yourselves. And where ye speak in the oracle, or by entrancement, ye shall point out to them certain stars, and give them the names thereof; and certain groups of stars, with their names, also; and ye shall show them the travel of the sun, north and south, and give them a tablet of onk (zodiac), divided into twelve groups, with twelve lines coming from the sun.

And ye shall raise up priests by inspiration, and by entrancement, and through them illustrate the position of the sun in the signs of the zodiac (onk). And the priests shall explain these things to the unlearned, that they may comprehend of their own knowledge.

Hirto said:

Learn to prophesy by the sun, and by the moon and by the stars. They tell no lies. The Lord then gave the signs of the zodiac (the horses, and cows, and lions, and sheep, and birds) that rule upon the earth, and upon the winds of heaven, and on the heat and cold, and the sun, and moon and stars, and spring and summer, and fall and winter. But these things are here omitted in this book, because they are known in mortal histories to this day.

Ye shall teach them in truth; but they will in after generations contort your teachings into corporeal worship, prostrating themselves before the sun, and moon, and stars, going down in disbelief in not only the spiritual life, but in the Great Spirit, and His Gods and Lords.

And these things must come to pass on the corporeal world; nor is there any resurrection in the latter days, save these of this day go through the fall which I am preparing for them.

For which reason, ye shall found corporeal knowledge in the stars, and name them, for these things will be testimony in kosmon, of the fate of the worshippers of corporeal knowledge, in the time of the Osirian cycle.

The Gyptian calendar
Although its seasons do not really correspond to the weather in SE Atrilia, the Gyptian calendar is the most widely used calendar in SE Atrilia.
The year is made up of 365 days: 360 normal days followed by 5 extra days.
The 360 normal days are divided into twelve 30-day months. The months themselves are grouped in three 4-month seasons: AKHET (Inundation), PERET (Growth) and SHEMU (Harvest). Months are simply known as the Fourth Month of Akhet, the First Month of Peret, etc. The first day of the First Month of Akhet roughly corresponds to real-world 20 July. Unfortunately, there is no reckoning of years. Each country tends to count them in terms of years of rule of the current ruler.
For instance, the date of the end of the battle for the Babyo Pass, in Dogobar, was the 15th day of the 1st month of Peret of the 1st year of Lalibêa's reign (15, 1st Peret, 1 L). Lalibêa's reign.

Because of this event the Egyptian year was divided into three distinct seasons: Akhet meaning inundation, Peret meaning emergence or growth, and Shomu meaning low-water and harvest. The word Shomu may well be an ancient root for the English word "summer." While Akhet was the season in which the Nile was depositing soil, Peret became the time of planting, cultivating and maintaining the crops. Shomu then followed with the beginning of this being the time of harvest. However, as noted earlier, Shomu quickly moved on to be a very hot-dry period in the year. Each of these seasons lasted approximately four lunar months.

Despite modern misconceptions there was no accurate way to predict with certainty when the Nile would actually begin to rise from year to year. Studies done in the late nineteenth century (well before the building of the High Dam at Aswan) show that in actuality this could begin anytime between April and June in our current calendar. However, the Egyptians soon came to realize that each year an important celestial event occurred which symbolically and perhaps intuitively came to represent the spiritual cause for the inundation. This was the rising of the star Sirius on the eastern horizon at sunrise, a phenomenon which is referred to by Egyptologists and astronomers alike as a 'heliacal' rising. At the beginning of Egyptian dynastic history the Summer Solstice and the heliacal rising of Sothis (Sirius) occurred on the same day. [An examination of the role of the star Spd.t in the Pyramid Texts has demonstrated that there is little evidence for the conventional view that it signifies the star Sirius. Indeed, the preponderance of evidence supports the conclusion that by Spd.t the planet Venus is meant, as nearly every characteristic of Isis-Sothis-Spd.t finds a close analogue in the cults of Venus-goddesses of other lands. correspondences exist between the cults of Horus-Spd.w and the Babylonian god Nergal, the latter god being securely identified with the planet Mars. Hitherto it was believed that ancient Egypt alone made Sirius the focal point of its calendrical machinations, while other advanced peoples, such as the Babylonians and Maya, were preoccupied with the movements of the planet Venus. (witness the assimilation of Apollo to the Sun in Greek religion, in direct contradiction to the earliest traditions)] qq In the eighth century B.C.E., the Egyptian Pharoh's primary advisor, the Vizier, was charged with reporting the first appearance of the bright star we call Sirius after it had been missing from the sky for approximately two weeks. This first appearance of Sirius in the pre-dawn sky was used to start the so-called Egyptian "lunar" calendar year, which was used for purposes of regulating religious affairs and everyday life. Shortly after Sirius first reappeared in the east, the Nile would have its annual life-giving flood. Sirius (Sothis) not only signaled the approaching Nile flood, but is the brightest "fixed" star in the heavens. In Egypt at the present time, Sirius rises just before the sun late in July, but usually can't be seen until early August. This is because as sunrise approaches, stars fade from view and the light of dawn obliterates starlight. At the time Sirius is about to reappear, the constellation Orion is fully visible in the lower eastern sky Sirius can be seen in the next constellation to rise (Canis Major). Because of this close relationship, Sirius was sometimes referred to as the "dog star" by early Greeks who thought of Canis Major as one of Orion's hunting hounds. Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky, was known as Sopdet-the "bright one"-to the Egyptians. For approximately seventy days this star would remain hidden from view, suddenly making its appearance at sunrise. This was seen as a very powerful, spiritual moment, so much so that it was commemorated with elaborate temple rituals by the priesthood and mass celebrations on the part of the public. It is for this reason that, ideally, this cosmic event came to be seen as the starting point of the year both for the stellar calendar (which evolved into the civil calendar) and the lunar calendar.

In Egypt, the agrarian year began with the heliacal rising of Sothis, which heralded the beginning of the inundation. Throughout Egyptian history the succession of the year's seasons is depicted in various ways in temples and tombs. Well-known pictorial representations of the calendar are found in the tomb of Senenmut and on the ceiling in the Ramesseum. Both exhibit the same arrangement of the months: the first four months of the new year, Akhet, are followed by the first two months of the next season, Peret. The series is then continued on the opposite side of the representation, with the last two months of Peret and the four months of Shemu. On sarcophagus lids from the Graeco-Roman period, the signs of the Zodiac are arranged in a strikingly similar order. Circular zodiacs, as that of Dendera, may well have been derived from the earlier Egyptian clepsydras. The purpose of these calendrical representations was to assure the survival of the deceased by associating him with the eternal solar and Osirian cycles.

Elements from these Egyptian zodiacs have survived in the decoration of the tympans of Romanesque churches in France, notably those of Vézelay and Autun. W.H.

Farmer's ritual year

One source tells that achet the inundation began in August and ended in October. The other periods followed with peret "coming forth" November to February a cool period. The dry period schemu with harvest is till from Mars to August.

In explaining the ritual astronomy talking about a virtual year with three seasons with four months each would be best. Still, I try to compare with our time and set New Year and beginning of achet 21^st July. Some text is telling Re raises the vault the first day in the second period of peret. That must be 21^st December and we can count back. Then it is from the rituals in Thebe.

New Year or Ramadan is when inundation begins about 21^st July. They had a uag-feast but of a different kind maybe, because the third of the epigone days was the birthday of Seth. In the official tales he was the evil, however at many place they worshipped him as the superior.

Epigone was the five days of holiday they set in to even the year before New Year. The Greek word means "born afterwards" when 5 days was added to 12 x 30 = 360 to even a year. The Sumerians had also holidays and we call them "seven sleepers days".

They called the first period achet and in the picture it is the upper row at right and read from left. The battle between Horus and Seth began about 26^th September and lasted more than a month. At the Bend of Nile in Karnak, Luxor and Thebe they celebrated the harem feast Opet for a month. They thought that as the pregnancy time and they had plenty of food after the harvest.

Below are the four wheels of peret "coming forth" and time for sowing. The first day in the second period of peret 21^st December then Re, the Sun raises the vault of heaven. In plain English that means that the sun turns from the winter solstice ... I found the beginning of the yearly ritual at the Law Haugsbyn in exactly the same words.

On the 12^th day began the Osiris rites for the growing season. They made a mummy of corn and sand in a basin and wrapped with rush. The djed-pillar was set to slanting position. It was watered daily until 21^st and was then set in the sun and perhaps on a journey until 25^th of the month and they buried it in a cist. The last period was a feast until 30^th when they raised the djed-pillar to vertical. At that time the pharaoh celebrated the journey to the valley. That means valley temples or tombs maybe as a search for afterlife for the death. We do not know how popular this was among people and if they also went to Underworld ceremonies.

The 12^th in third peret they tell Toth the moon take over after Atum the evening sun. That means approximately Candlemas. That means that the moon takes over after the evening sun. They connected the moon to fertility and growth. They also said that Ra the Sun and Osiris made the plants, as the child of Osiris became the new plant.

The sequence is right but about the days I am not surer than my sources.

The four at left are schemu. It is time for harvest and the hot time of lions. Around Thebe the period began and ended with a feast.

From the papyrus we learn that they divided the year in twelve times thirty days and set in five to six days as a holiday. We understand the synchronisation of the sun year and the moon loops in the symbolism as a whole.

[Theosophists say several remarkable cycles come to a close at the end of the century (2000). First, the 5,000 years of the Kaliyuga cycle; again the Messianic cycle of the Samaritan (also Kabalistic) Jews of the man connected with Pisces (Ichthys or 'Fish-man' Dag). It is a cycle lasting about 2,155 solar years, having a true significance when computed by lunar months. It occurred in 2410 BC, when the equinox entered into the sign of the Ram and ended with Pisces (255 BC). when it enters Aquarius in a few years the psychic idiosyncrasies of humanity will enter on a great change.]

According to the average, occult figures for the precession of the equinoxes, the vernal equinox falls back 50 seconds of arc a year, and therefore takes 2160 years to move through one constellation of the zodiac (30°), and 25,920 years for a complete circuit of the zodiac. In reality, the rate of precession varies. Blavatsky used the figure of 50.10 seconds of arc per year, equivalent to 25,868 years for a complete precessional cycle.
Dividing the latter figure by 12, gives (in round figures) 2155 years as the length of a messianic cycle. The rate of precession for the epoch J2000.0 is 50.288 arc-seconds per year, and the rate is said to be increasing by 0.0002 arc-seconds per year. The kali-yuga began in February 3102 BC, and the first 5000 years therefore came to an end in February 1899 (= 5000 - 3102 + 1). Blavatsky suggests that the Piscean Age also came to a close at the end of the 19th century. She indicates that 2155 years elapsed between the start of the Age of Aries in 2410 BC and the start of the Piscean Age in 255 BC. If the Piscean Age also lasted 2155 years, the Aquarian Age would have begun in 1901 (= 2155 - 255 + 1) if 255 BC is a chronological date, or 1900 if it is an astronomical date. On the basis of the current rate of increase in precession, the Piscean Age would have lasted 2157 years (assuming that Pisces covers 30° of arc). The dates of 2410 BC and 255 BC are also given by Gerald Massey A.H. Sayce, who says that the Age of Taurus began around 4700 BC and the Age of Aries in 2540 BC. According to one modern book on astronomy, the Age of Aries began around 2100 BC, the Age of Pisces around the start of the Christian era, and the Age of Aquarius will begin around the year 2200. The astronomical date given for the beginning of the Age of Aquarius by the French Institut Géographique National is AD 2010. Clearly there is no consensus on where to place the boundary between Pisces and Aquarius and thus on how best to divide the zodiac into 12 equal segments of 30°. at the beginning of the kali-yuga the vernal equinox approximately coincided with the Eye of the Bull (Aldebaran). Aldebaran was also in conjunction with the vernal equinoctial point about 31,000 years ago, 'It is from this point of the ecliptic that the calculations of the new cycle were commenced. the circle of the zodiac could be divided into four quarters (corresponding to the four seasons), with the boundaries being marked by Aries (vernal equinox), Capricorn (summer solstice), Libra (autumnal equinox) and Cancer (winter solstice), and it is possible that cataclysms accompanying the equinox's entry into each quarter are severer than normal. Leo 13,060 BP, Cancer 10,900 BP, Gemini 8740 BP, Taurus 6580 BP, Aries 4420 BP (2420 BC), Pisces 255 BC, Aquarius 1900. Cro-Magnon man started to appear on the western coasts of Europe and around the shores of the Mediterranean about 40,000 years ago, and arrived in large numbers between 15,000 and 10,000 BP. to the east of the Indus river was once traversed by a great river, known in Vedic writings as the Sarasvati. This once fertile region was a key centre of early Indic civilization. Around 1900 BC, in the Age of Aries, a series of tectonic upheavals caused several rivers to change their courses, leading to devastating floods and the drying up of the Sarasvati and other rivers. As a result, Indic civilization was temporarily eclipsed, and its centre shifted eastward to the Ganges and Yamuna valleys.19 the sothic cycle and the heliacal risings and settings of the star Sirius (Greek: Sothis; Egyptian: Sopdit). (The heliacal rising of a star means that it rises just before the dawn, so that it is visible very briefly before being lost in the solar rays.) The Egyptians had a civil or vague year of 365 days, and a fixed or sothic year of 365.25 days based on the heliacal rising of Sirius, which approximately coincided with the summer solstice and the rise of the Nile. In the Dendera zodiacs, the constellation Virgo is said to appear three times. 5. The Dendera zodiacs The Egyptian Temple of Dendera, dedicated to the goddess Hathor, is thought to have been constructed by the Ptolemies in the first century BC, but on the site of an earlier temple. It contains two zodiacs: a rectangular zodiac, carved in the ceiling of the hypostyle hall, and a circular zodiac, about 8 feet across, found on the ceiling of a chapel on the temple roof. The Egyptians related the extension of their country with the ordering of the sky. In the sky the most important line is the Ecliptic, which is the equivalent of the tropic on Earth. All the planets move within 7°, north and south, of the Ecliptic. Since the Ecliptic is at an angle of 24° (counting in round figures) with the Equator, no planet reaches a point further north than 31°. For the mapping of the sky it is enough to draw a map extending up to 31° 00'N, assuming the Tropic and the Ecliptic to be at 24°00N. The area of the sky in which the planets move was considered the inhabited part of the sky. The Egyptians conceived of the sky as a cylinder extending up to latitude 31°. This part of the sky could be mapped by a Mercator projection, since the degree of longitude up to latitude 31° shrinks of only 1/7. This cylinder could be unfolded into an oblong; hence, at times, the inhabited sky and the inhabited earth is described as an oblong. The sky above latitude 31°N was conceived as a huge hole, empty and uninhabited space. No stars in this area received attention except the circumpolar stars. On Earth the inhabited world, called Oikoumene, "the inhabited," by Greek geographers, was conceived as extending up to latitude 31°00N (or 31°06N if the Tropic and Ecliptic are set at 24°06'N, latitude of Syene). qq 19. Such, then, was. the time of Thothma's TEMPLE OF OSIRIS, THE GREAT PYRAMID is midway betwixt the ends of the earth, the extreme of the earth's corporeal growth; it stands as a monument of the greatest corporeal aspiration of man. For from this time forth man shall seek not to build himself everlastingly on the earth, but in heaven.
