"Let
us not forget that they occur in a myth which is present at
the very dawn of writing in Egypt (indeed elements of the
Osiris
story are to be found in the Pyramid Texts dating back to
around 2450 BC, in a context which suggests that they were
exceedingly old then). Hipparchus, the so-called discoverer
of precession lived in the second century BC. He proposed a
value of 45
or 46 seconds of arc for one year of precessional
motion. These figures yield a one-degree shift along the
ecliptic in 80 years (at 45
arc
seconds per annum). The true figure, as calculated by
twentieth century science, is 71.6 years. If Sellers's
theory is correct, therefore, the
'Osiris
numbers',
which give a value of 72
years, are significantly more accurate than those of
Hipparchus
Page
273
"These
he joined to the
360 days of which the year then consisted
(emphasis
added)."
"Elsewhere
the myth informs us that the 360
- day year consists of "12 months of 30 days
each".
Note
6
And
in general,as Sellers observes ,
"phrases
are used which prompt simple mental calculations
and
an
attention
to numbers ".
note 7
"Elsewhere
the myth informs us that the 360-day
year consists of '12
months of 30
days each'.
Thus
far we have been provided with three of Seller's
precessional: 360,
12
and 30.
The fourth number,which occurs later in the text, is by far
the most important. As we saw in Chapter
Nine,
the evil deity known as Set
led a group of conspirators in a plot to kill
Osiris.
The number of these conspirators was
72."
/
Page
274 /
With
this last number in hand, suggests Sellers, we are now in a
position to boot-up and set running an ancient computer
programme:
"12
= the number of constellations is the zodiac;"
30
= the number of degrees allocated along the ecliptic to each
zodiacal constellation;"
72
= the number of years required for the equinoctial sun to
complete a precessional shift of one degree
along
with the
ecliptic;"
360
= the total number of degrees in the
ecliptic"
72
x 30
= 2160
(the number of years required for the sun to complete a
passage of 30
degrees along
the ecliptic, i.e., to pass
entirely through any one of the
12
zodiacal constellations);"
"2160
x 12
(or
360
x
72)
= 25,920
(the number of years in one complete precessional cycle or
'Great Year', and
thus
the total number of years required to bring about the 'Great
Return)."

The

The
Fingerprints Of The Gods
Graham

281
"
We came here by way of Sirius, the Dog Star, who stands at
the heel of the giant constellation of Orion where it towers
in the sky above Egypt. In that land, as we have seen, Orion
is Osiris, the god of death and resurrection, whose numbers
- perhaps by chance - are 12,
30,
72,
and 360.
But can chance account for the
fact
that
these and other prime integers of precession keep cropping
up in supposedly unrelated mythologies from all over the
world, and in such stolid but enduring vehicles as calendar
systems and works of
architecture?
Santillana
and von Dechend, Jane Sellers and a growing body of other
scholars rule out chance, arguing that the persistence
of detail is indicative of a guiding
hand.
If
they are wrong, we need to find some other explanation for
how such specific and inter-related
numbers
(the
only obvious function of which is to calculate precession
could by accident have got themselves so widely imprinted on
human culture.
But
suppose they are not wrong ? Suppose that a guiding
hand really was at work behind the scenes
?
Sometimes,
when you slip into Santillana's and von Dechend's world of
myth and mystery, you can almost feel the influence of that
hand. . ...."
"...Along
the way, according to the design of the ancient sages (if
Sellers, Santillana and von Dechend are
right)
we
were first encouraged to build a clear mental picture of the
celestial sphere. Second, we were provided with a
mechanistic model so that we could visualize the great
changes precession of the equinoxes periodically effects in
all the coordinates of the sphere. Finally, after
/
Page
282 /
allowing
the dog Sirius to open the way for us, we were given the
figures to
calculate
precession more or less
exactly..."
"...Investigating
this kind of material, one sometimes has the spooky sense of
being manipulated by an ancient intelligence which has found
a way to reach out to us across vast epochs of time, and for
some reason has set us a puzzle to solve in the language of
myth...."
Page
283
"...So
once again it seems reasonable to ask: what is going on? Why
do we have these 'strings' of myths, ostensibly about
different subjects, all of which prove capable in their own
ways of shedding light on the phenomenon of precession of
the equinoxes ?..." "...It surely drives scepticism beyond
its limits to suggest that so many identical literary
devices could keep on turning up purely by chance in so many
different contexts.
If
not by chance, however, then who exactly was responsible for
creating this intricate and clever connecting pattern? who
were the authors and designers of the puzzle and what
motives might they have had ?
Scientists
with something to say
Whoever
it was, they must have been smart - smart enough to have
observed the infinitesimal creep of precessional motion
along the ecliptic and to have calculated its rate at a
value uncannily close to that obtained by today's advanced
technology.
It
therefore follows that we are talking about highly civilized
people. Indeed, we are talking about people who deserve to
be called scientists. They must, moreover, have lived in
extremely remote antiquity because we can be certain that
the creation and dissemina-tion of the common heritage of
precessional myths on both sides of the Atlantic did
not take place in historic times. On the contrary
the evidence suggests that all these myths were 'tottering
with age' when what we call history began about 5000 years
ago. 41
The
great strength of the Ancient stories was this: as well as
being
/
Page
284 /
for
ever available for use and adaptation free of copyright,
like intellectual chameleons, subtle and ambiguous, they had
the capacity to change their colour according to their
surroundings. At different times, in different continents,
the ancient tales could be retold in a variety of ways, but
would always retain their essential symbolism and always
continue to transmit the coded precessional data they had
been programmed with at the
outset.
But
to what end ?
As
we see in the next chapter, the long slow cycles of
precession are not limited in their consequences to
a changing view of the sky. This celestial phenomenon, born
of the earth's axial wobble, has direct effects on the earth
itself. In fact, it appears to be one of the principle
correlates of the sudden onset of ice ages and their equally
sudden and catastrophic decay.

to the Unborn
It
is understandable that a huge range of myths from all over
the ancient world should describe geological catastrophes in
graphic detail..."
"...Much
harder to explain is the peculiar but distinctive way the
myths of cataclysm seem to bear the intelligent imprint of a
guiding hand.1 Indeed the degree of convergence between such
ancient stories is frequently remarkable enough to raise the
suspicion that they must all have been 'written' by the same
'author'.

message in the bottle of time

Quote
"
"Of
all the other stupendous inventions,' Galileo once
remarked,
What
sublimity of mind must have been his who conceived how to
communicate his most secret thoughts to any other person,
though very distant either in time or place, speaking with
those who are in the Indies, speaking to those who are not
yet born, nor shall be this thousand or ten thousand years?
And with no greater difficulty than the various arrangements
of two dozen little signs on paper? Let this be the seal of
all the admirable inventions of
men.3
If
the precessional message' identified by scholars like
Santillana, von Dechend and Jane Sellers is indeed a
deliberate attempt at communi-cation by some lost
civilization of antiquity, how come it wan't just written
down and left for us to find? Wouldn't that have been easier
than encoding it in myths?
Perhaps.
Nevertheless,
suppose that whatever the message was written on got
destroyed or worn away after many thousand of years? Or
suppose that the language in which it was inscribed was
later forgotten utterly (like the enigmatic Indus Valley
script, which has been studied closely for more than half a
century but has so far resisted all attempts at decoding)?
It must be obvious that in such circumstances a written
/
Page
287 /
legacy
to the future would be of no value at all, because nobody
would be able to make sense of
it.
What
one would look for, therefore, would be a universal
language, the kind of language that would be
comprehensible to any technologi-cally advanced society in
any epoch, even a thousand or ten thousand years into the
future. Such languages are few and far between, but
mathematics is one of them -
and
the city of Teotihuacan may be the calling card of a lost
civilization written in the eternal language of
mathematics.
Geodetic
data related to the exact positioning of fixed geographical
points and to the shape and size of the earth, would also
remain valid and recognizable for tens of thousands of
years, and might be most conveniently expressed by means of
cartography (or in the construc-tion of giant geodetic
monuments like the Great Pyramid of Egypt as we shall
see).
Another
'constant' in our solar system is the language of time
caliberated by the inch worm creep of precessional motion.
Now or ten thousand years in the future, a message that
prints out numbers like 72 or 2160 or 4320 or 25,920 should
be instantly intelligible to any civilization that has
evolved a modest talent for mathematics and the ability to
detect and measure the almost imperceptible reverse wobble
that the sun appears to make along the ecliptic against the
background of the fixed stars (one degree in 71.6 years, 30
degrees in 2148 years, and so
on).
The
sense that a correlation exists is strengthened by something
else. It is neither as firm nor as definite as the number of
syllables in the Rigveda; nevertheless, it feels relevant.
Through powerful stylistic links and shared symbolism,,
myths to do with global cataclysms and with precession of
the equinoxes quite frequently intermesh. A detailed
interconnectedness exists between these two categories of
tradition, both of which additionally bear what appear to be
the recognizable fingerprints of a conscious design. Quite
naturally, therefore, one is prompted to discover whether
there might not be an important connection between
precession of the equinoxes and global catastrophes.

of pain
"
Although several different mechanisms of an astronomical and
geological nature seem to be involved, and although not all
these are fully understood, the fact is that the cycle of
precession does correlate very bly with the onset and
demise of ice ages.
Several
trigger factors must coincide, which is why not every shift
from one astronomical age to another is implicated.
Nevertheless, it is accepted that precession does have an
impact on both glaciation and deglaciation at widely
separated intervals. The knowledge that it does so has only
been established by our own science since the late
1970's.4
Yet the evidence of the myths suggests that the same level
of knowledge might have been possessed by an as yet
unidentified civilization in the depths of the last Ice Age.
The clear suggestion we may be meant to grasp is that the
terrible cataclysms of flood and fire and ice which the
myths describe were in some way causally connected
to the ponderous movements of the celestial coordinates
through the great cycle of the zodiac. In the words of
Santillana and von Deshend, 'It was not a foreign idea to
the ancients that the mills of the gods grind slowly and
that the result is
usually
pain.'5
Three
principal factors, all of which we have met before, are
known to be deeply implicated in the onset and the retreat
of ice ages (together, of course, with the divine cataclysms
that ensue from sudden freezes and thaws). These factors all
have to do with variations in the earth's orbital
geometry...."
Page
289
"...Levered
by the changing geometry of the orbit, 'global insolation'
-
the
differing amounts and intensity of sunlight received at
various latitudes in any given epoch
-
can
thus be an important trigger factor for ice
ages.
Is
it possible that the ancient myth-makers were trying to
warn us of great danger when they so intricately
linked the pain of global cataclysm to the slow grinding of
the mill of heaven?
This
is a question we will return to in due course, but meanwhile
it is enough to observe that by identifying the significant
effects of orbital geometry on the planet's climate and
wellbeing, and by combining this information with precise
movements, the unknown scientists of an unrecognised
civilization seem to have found a way to catch our
attention, to bridge the chasm of the ages, and to
communicate with us directly.
Whether
or not we listen to what they have to say is, of course
entirely up to us."

The
Natural Order
We
live in a universe of patterns.
Every
night the stars move in circles across the sky. The seasons
cycle at yearly intervals. No two snowflakes are ever
exactly the same, but they all have sixfold symmetry. Tigers
and Zebras are covered in patterns of stripes, leopards and
hyenas are covered in patterns of spots. Intricate trains of
waves march across the oceans; very similar trains of sand
dunes march across the desert. Coloured arcs of light adorn
the sky in the form of rainbows, and a bright circular halo
some-times surrounds the moon on winter nights. Spherical
drops of water fall from clouds.
Human
mind and culture have developed a formal system of thought
for recognizing, classifying, and exploiting pat-terns. We
call it mathematics. By using mathematics to orga-nize and
systematize our ideas about patterns, we have discovered a
great secret: nature's patterns are not just there to be
admired. they are vital clues to the rules that govern
natural processes."
There
is much beauty in Nature's clues, and we can all recognize
it without any mathematical training. There is beauty, too,
in the mathematical stories that starts from the clues and
deduce the underlying rules and regularities, but it is a
different kind of beauty applying to ideas rather than
things"
Page
3
"...Patterns
possess utility as well as beauty. Once we have learned to
recognize a background pattern. exceptions sud-denly stand
out..."
Against
the circling background of stars, a small number of stars
that move quite differently beg to be singled out for
spe-cial attention. The Greeks called them
planetes, meaning "wanderer," a term retained in
our word "planet." It took a lot longer to understand the
patterns of planetary motion than it did to work out why
stars seem to move in nightly circles. One difficulty is
that we are inside the Solar System, moving along with it,
and things that look simple from the outside often look more
complicated from inside. The planets were clues to the rules
behind gravity and motion.
We
are still learning to recognize new kinds of
pattern.
Only
within the last thirty years has humanity become explic-itly
aware of the two types of pattern now known as fractals
and chaos. Fractals are geometric shapes that
repeat their structure on ever-finer scales, and I will say
a little about them towards the end of this chapter; chaos
is a kind of appar-ent randomness whose origins are entirely
deterministic..."
"...Nature
"knew about" these patterns billions of years ago, for
clouds are fractal and weather is chaotic. It took humanity
a while to catch up.
The
simplest mathematical objects are numbers, and the simplest
of nature's patterns are numerical. The phases of the moon
make a complete cycle from new moon to full moon and back
again every twenty-eight days. The year is three hundred and
sixty-five days long -roughly. People have two
/
Page
4 /
legs,
cats have four, insects have four, insects have six, and
spiders have eight. Starfish have five arms (or ten, eleven
even seventeen, depending on the species). Clover normally
has three leaves: the superstition that a four-leaf clover
is lucky reflects a deep-seated belief that exceptions to
patterns are special. Avery curious pattern occurs in the
petals of flowers. In nearly all flowers, the number of
petals is one of the numbers that occur in the strange
sequence 3,
5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89.
For instance, lilies have three petals, buttercups have
five, many delphiniums have eight, marigolds have thirteen,
asters have twenty-one, and most daisies have thirty-four,
fifty-five, or eighty-nine. You don't find any other numbers
anything like as often . There is a definite pattern to
these numbers, but one that takes a little digging out: each
number is is obtained by adding the previous two numbers
together. For example, 3 + 5 = 8, 5 + 8 = 13, and so on. The
same numbers can be found in the spiral of seeds in the head
of a sunflower. This par-ticular pattern was noticed many
centuries ago and has been widely studied ever since, but a
really satisfactory explana-tion was not given until 1993.
It is to be found in 9.
