I can't conceive of a more erroneous response than what FreeMan wrote above.
The Khemetic (al-khemia) people organized a calendar based on the Sothic orbit of our solar system around the binary star Sirius.
This comprised a roughly 34.5 thousand year cycle, divided up into ages corresponding with those zodiacal "shorthands" which reflect objectively observable data about our relative position within the stellar field(s) also orbiting or remaining relatively stationary.
That the Khemetic forbears - whose civilization was ancient long before "recorded" history began - were able to know all of this and construct monumental ergodic texts recording these facts (pyramids, temples, etc.,) with a precision unachievable to this day - and recorded for our edification for all time. To me, this at least suggests that they may have been on to something worth our attention.
The nuts and the sheeple are those insufficient to the task of - at the very least - knowing about what the Egyptians were doing - even if they're then incapable of understanding the what, why, and wherefore of this monumental civilization at the foundations of our own soon to be ending civilization, then bad on them, but they at least made the effort to decipher these texts so central to our cultural origins....,
Wow CNU is coming out swinging. How about I thought UBJ was asking how did people make animals signs out of constellations. Maybe just maybe I was saying the first idiot to name a cluster of stars looks like a a elephant trunk usually wins because no one else decided to name that cluster. Usually the idiot is the respected guy who has been staring out into space for years and who everyone usually regards as eccentric.
I was not debating or bringing up Khemet or even trying to hint at the importance of using stars for calendar purposes.
But, I thank you for the rant because I learned a little bit. Good to know you come out swinging too. LOL
Yeah... SeeNew conducts class and assigns homework. But both answers convey the idea that two (or more) people can look at (or read) the same thing and come up with different ideas. It's a case of "Eyes to see" and probably has something to do with "the way" we see, hear, or understand.
Because when the nut who the country respects comes up with a theory the sheep follow.
