Egyptian Temples Aligned With The Heavens

September 9th, 2009

ANCIENT Egyptian temples were aligned so precisely with astronomical events that people could set their political, economic and religious calendars by them. So finds a study of 650 temples, some dating back to 3000 BC.

I find Egypt and its history endlessly fascinating. Don’t know how many books I’ve read on the topic, including a load about secrets encoded in the symbols and the landscape. But the fact that it’s still giving up those secrets is a source of great joy.

    Have you read any of the Graham Hancock or Adrian Gilbert books on the subject?

    I’ve read Hancock’s Fingerprints of the Gods and Bauval’s The Orion Mystery. I have Keeper of Genesis on my tbr pile. What did Gilbert do and is it worth a look?
