who is this mysterious Son of Man?
No lie can live forever.
-Alfred North Whitehead
The Son of Man in the Gospels can be traced to the constellation Orion which represents Jesus' Spirit. Background for this report can be found in Gospel Zodiac, Jesus' Ghost and Pillar of Cloud. They explain how Jesus allegorizes the sun, the nature of Jesus' Spirit and the role the Milky Way plays in apocalyptic prophecies. This report explains the astrological significance of Son of Man.
Introduction
One of the imperatives in Christian mythology is the belief that the world as we know it will end someday. God will overthrow the forces of evil and all who side with them, and only those who repent and follow Jesus' teachings will be allowed to enter the new Kingdom of God. Jesus and Paul mention it often and the Book of Revelation is devoted to it.
Many passages attest that Jesus expected the end of the world to come in his time, not thousands of years later. Throughout the Gospels, Jesus refers to some mysterious Son of man, a cosmic judge sent from heaven who would destroy whoever opposes God and reward those who are faithful.
Who this Son of man? The popular claim has it that Jesus was referring to himself in the third person. It's plausible because many passages fit the course of Jesus' ministry. What is suspicious about this rationale is that Jesus appears to be describing someone else.
38For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of man also be ashamed, when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels."
1And he said to them, "Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see that the kingdom of God has come with power." (Mark 8:38-9:1)
I submit that Christian reasoning is entirely wrong. When Christians read the predictions of the end of the world, they are waiting for events to unfold on earth. Even after 2,000 years of false alarms, they have not lost patience, and I don't know if they will ever admit that maybe they are misreading the New Testament.
Such a calamity cannot happen as the Bible predicts. Something on that scale would take an event like a large meteor to hit earth. In such a case, a meteor would not care who is faithful to Jesus. If there was a nuclear war, bombs would be guided by human stupidity, not divine intelligence. If any other catastrophe happens on that scale, earth would not be a very pleasant place for the survivors. Whatever the cause of mass destruction, faith will not protect anybody. Even worse, if the entire world was destroyed, as devout Christians believe, there would be no survivors.
What confuses modern readers is the way the Bible's writers coded their belief in the power of the stars as if they affected life on earth. The matter before us is to decipher their writings for what they meant to ancients, not to what modern believers want to believe.
For this reason, we will examine the Bible from an astronomical point of view. It was a time when ancients perceived the stars in heaven as patterns to be interpreted as God's divine plan for life on earth. The sun was especially important to them because they understood that life on earth depended on it.
There are three clues which clarify what they were writing about. The first describes the Son of man as the constellation Orion. The second relates the yearly sun cycle to the end of the world. The third tracks Orion with the sun cycle. There can be no other conclusion except that the idea of a supernatural God was conceived as a ruse to mislead faithful Christians.
The Son of man
Three passages define the Son of man in physical form.
The first appears in the apocalyptic writings of the Book of Daniel, where Daniel describes the Son of man as riding on the clouds of heaven to the "Ancient of days" to give him everlasting dominion over the new kingdom of heaven.
13I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
14And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed. (Dan. 7:13-14)
Revelation's description of the Son of man fits the pattern of stars in the constellation Orion. The star on his right shoulder is bright red (upper left star). The three stars at his waste were later seen as the three wise men who announced the birth of Jesus.
12Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands,
13and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden girdle round his breast;
14his head and his hair were white as white wool, white as snow; his eyes were like a flame of fire,
15his feet were like burnished bronze, refined as in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of many waters;
16in his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth issued a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength. (Rev. 1:12-20)
The Son of man has a cluster of stars in the background that look like the clouds upon which the Son of man rides. Astronomical maps show the Milky Way behind the constellation Orion. From earth, they look like clouds.
14And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
(Rev. 14:14-20)
A photograph of Orion, personified as the Son of man riding on a cloud.
Orion as seen in human form. His right hand could be holding a sickle or a club. His left hand could be holding an animal skin, a shield or a bow. The Milky Way is behind him. The arc above him represents the sun's path. The line going through his waste is the celestial equator which runs parallel to earth's equator.
Orion's legacy
After the Big Dipper, Orion is perhaps the next most celebrated constellation in the winter sky. Mythologies about Orion probably originated from the Egyptians thousands of years ago and extended to the Greeks at the turn of the first century. It is a very important constellation to astral religions and easy to recognize.
To the ancient Egyptians, Orion was Osiris the God of Light. Set was Orisis' brother and the God of Darkness. According to legend, Orisis was murdered by his evil brother Set, who tore his body into pieces and scattered the fragments. Isis, Osiris' wife, managed to put him back together except for his phallus, which had been swallowed by a fish. She made an artificial phallus and breathed into his body to restore his soul. Thereafter, he rose to the sky.
In one period, Orion represented the Egyptian god of the dead and the first king of Egypt. After death, the pharaoh was thought to mystically inseminate the stars to ensure that, through Osiris, Horus the sun god would be reborn as his successor.
In one Greek myth, Orion was the son of Neptune and the nymph Euryale. He was of gigantic size, strength and beauty. He was so tall that he could walk through deep water without wetting his head. His hubris invoked Gaia, the Goddess of the Earth to send a scorpion to kill him. His fall to earth can be seen when the stars of Orion sink defeated below the western horizon and the stars of Scorpion are just rising in the east.
The next night he rises again, saved by Ophiuchus, the Doctor of Antiquity who gave him an antidote for the scorpions poison. This can be seen when the Scorpion sets in the southwest with Ophiuchus standing over him as a symbol of the antidote. Later, when Ophiuchus sets in the west, Orion comes up from the east, fully recovered.
In these myths alone we see fragments of Christian mythology. Gods die and are restored to life. They are given a soul by being breathed into and they fall to earth as Adam did. The scorpion brings death as Judas did to Jesus. There is the eternal conflict between light and dark. (See Light verses Dark)
The timing of Orion's cycle fits with the birth of Jesus on December 25. It makes its first appearance in the east in mid December each year. And as the season progresses, Orion rises with the sun and sets in the west three days before it rises in the east again.
With the sun personified as Jesus, it is accurate to think of Orion as a constellation in synch with the sun's cycle. In a sense they are like conjoined twins who suffer the same fate. This is why the confusion about whether Jesus is referring to himself as the Son of Man in the third person or whether the Son of Man is some cosmic judge.
The sun cycle
In allegorical language, the sun goes through four seasonal cycles. It is born on December 25 when daylight hours start to increase. At about this same time Orion rises in the east with its three belt stars as the three wise men. As Orion rises, the star Sirius ascends above the horizon as the star of Bethlehem. Sirius is the brightest star in the sky.
The powers of darkness are still in power, but as the daylight hours increase, it is seen as overcoming the forces that try to stop it. In the Gospels, this is when Jesus is born and when his parents take him away to keep Herod from killing him.
At the spring equinox it has entered the gates of heaven when daylight hours start to emerge more powerful than the dark evil forces. Jesus' mission starts in the spring when he collects his disciples and builds a following.
At the summer solstice, when the sun is the highest in the sky, the sun is on its throne. In the following summer months, as the sun descends, it is still strong, but it is weakening as the dark forces start to make war against it. To show his strength, Jesus performs miracles and exorcises demons. At this time Orion is at the height of its ascent.
When the sun passes through the fall equinox, it enters the gates to hell. Night time hours start to lengthen and the dark forces are said to be fighting their way back to power. The sun continues to weaken until it dies for three days following December 21. This is when Jesus is betrayed by Judas and is taken to trial and executed. Allegorically, this is the end of the world.
On December 25, the sun is resurrected and the cycle repeats.
This cycle is not unique to Christianity; it plays out through the mythologies of resurrected gods. It was the age of fable when the constellations were assigned the names of gods. There was Hercules who died on his twelfth labor like Jesus. There is Jason and the Argonauts with their ship Argo, reminiscent of Noah's ark. The constellation Perseus holding the head of Medusa looks like David holding the head of Goliath. There are creation myths, supreme gods who mate with virgins, giants, serpents and a host of other characters like those in the Bible.
The Bible cannot be understood by those who are so blinded with faith that they keep their heads buried in the ground trying to make historical sense out of it. Look up to the sky. The keys to unlocking the secrets of the Bible can be found with a map of the constellations and a good book on star mythology. My favorite is New Patterns in the Sky New Patterns in the Sky by Julius D. W. Staal,
The Zodiac wheel shows how the sun's yearly ascension and descension conforms to the Bible's motifs.
biblical Omens
In Mark chapter 13, there is an allegorical summary of the astronomical omens that lead to the end of the world. They start when the sun is at full power at its highest position on the horizon to when it descends to its death at the lowest position.
1. When the sun is at the summer solstice in Gemini, Jesus predicted that some day the temple will be destroyed. His disciples wanted to know what sign they should look for to know when this event will happen. In biblespeak, "sign" denotes astrological signs.
1And as he came out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, "Look, Teacher, what wonderful stones and what wonderful buildings!"
2And Jesus said to him, "Do you see these great buildings? There will not be left here one stone upon another, that will not be thrown down."
3And as he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,
4"Tell us, when will this be, and what will be the sign when these things are all to be accomplished?" (Mark 13:1-4)
2. After the sun passes the high point of the summer solstice it descends lower with each passing day. Allegorically, the sun is weakening because the dark forces of evil are said to waging war against it. The wars are just beginning.
The sun starts to descend in the house of Cancer. It is usually a time of hesitation, so Jesus warns what to expect and not to be alarmed.
7And when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed; this must take place, but the end is not yet.
8For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in various places, there will be famines; this is but the beginning of the birth-pangs.
9"But take heed to yourselves; for they will deliver you up to councils; and you will be beaten in synagogues; and you will stand before governors and kings for my sake, to bear testimony before them. (Mark 13:7-8)
3. The wars between light and dark intensify as the days get shorter. The sun is still strong, but the forces of evil are gaining power.
The house of Leo brings strength from the new harvest. So Jesus says to be strong against adversity and you will be saved.
11And when they bring you to trial and deliver you up, do not be anxious beforehand what you are to say; but say whatever is given you in that hour, for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.
12And brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death;
13and you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.
14"But when you see the desolating sacrilege set up where it ought not to be (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains; (Mark 13:11-14)
4. Virgo is the last house before the sun descends into hell-Virgo is described as a nursing mother. There is no turning back.
15let him who is on the housetop not go down, nor enter his house, to take anything away;
16and let him who is in the field not turn back to take his mantle.
17And alas for those who are with child and for those who give suck [Virgo] in those days! (Mark 13:15-17)
5. The sun has passed the fall equinox into Scorpio. The days are getting progressively shorter than the nights. According to Jesus, if the days did not get shorter, no one could be saved, so God shortened the days. Pray that the sign doesn't happen in winter because it is the worst of times. If the days are still getting shorter and someone says the Christ has come, do not believe them. It is not the right time.
18Pray that it may not happen in winter.
19For in those days there will be such tribulation as has not been from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will be.
20And if the Lord had not shortened the days, no human being would be saved; but for the sake of the elect, whom he chose, he shortened the days.
21And then if any one says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or 'Look, there he is!' do not believe it.
22False Christs and false prophets will arise and show signs and wonders, to lead astray, if possible, the elect.
23But take heed; I have told you all things beforehand. (Mark 13:18-23)
6. The sun is in Sagittarius as the sun descends to its lowest point on the horizon. On the darkest days of the winter when the moon does not give light, the Son of man will come in clouds. The Son of man in clouds can be seen in the picture above. Below, the next frame shows the son of men descending on December 21.
24"But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light,
25and the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.
26And then they will see the Son of man coming in clouds with great power and glory.
27And then he will send out the angels, and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven. (Mark 13:24-27)
7. You will know he is near the gates to heaven (the spring equinox) when fig trees start to grow leaves.
28"From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near.
29So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that he is near, at the very gates. (Mark 13:28-29)
8. This generation will see these things take place. -He means his generation.
30Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away before all these things take place.
31Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. (Mark 13:30-31)
In the first century on December 21 at midnight, when the sun is darkened and the moon does not give up its light, the Son of man can be seen descending to earth. A month later it disappears from view.
Orion ascends in the east three days after its disappearance in the west.

LA ESTRELLA BETELGEUSE
|
Señal que anuncia los solsticios. Cada 19 de junio el Sol cruza el meridiano de Betelgeuse.
|
|
Desde nuestra privilegiada atalaya del Planeta Aire y Tierra podemos ver a la estrella Betelgeuse durante la noche desde la medianoche del equinoccio de septiembre asomando por el horizonte oriental, y hasta la medianoche del equinoccio de marzo ocultándose por el horizonte occidental. En la medianoche de las noches anteriores y posteriores al 19 de diciembre la vemos en su punto más alto del cielo.
Es igual que a diario (y "nochario") pasa con nosotros con respecto al Sol; con el giro de la Tierra nos trasladamos en nuestro círculo paralelo particular y asomamos a la zona iluminada por el Sol, luego cruzamos por el mediodía (punto más cercano al Sol) y después nos ocultamos del Sol entrando en la zona de sombra (noche); así el Planeta Tierra trasladándose por su órbita se acerca y aleja de cada estrella y nosotros desde la zona de sombra (la noche) vemos aparecer y desaparecer a las estrellas, es decir, ganamos y perdemos línea de visión de ellas.
Betelgeuse es esa estrella que está en la esquina superior izquierda del rectángulo que da forma a la formidable constelación de Orión. Claro que así lo vemos si estamos situados en el hemisferio norte de la Madre Tierra, pues desde el hemisferio sur la veríamos en la esquina inferior derecha si pudiéramos mirar la parte ocultada por el horizonte.
Cada 19 de junio, durante nuestro viaje gratis en la Nave Tierra, ésta se coloca en el punto desde el que vemos al Sol en el meridiano de Betelgeuse (5h:55m de Ascensión Recta). Y 3 días después es el solsticio. Así que Betelgeuse es una señal anunciadora del solsticio. Y no sólo eso sino que el punto de la órbita en el que la Madre Tierra está cada 19 de junio es cósmicamente muy significativo, aunque prácticamente toda la humanidad no sea consciente. Cada 19 de junio la Madre Tierra se coloca entre el Sol y el Centro Galáctico. Luego Betelgeuse está al otro lado del Sol, aunque a una altura diferente. Así que se conforma una línea formada por cuatro puntos en los que están Betelgeuse, Sol, Tierra y Centro Galáctico.
Esto quiere decir que al otro lado de la órbita, cuando la Tierra llega en el momento que para nosotros es 19 de diciembre, la Tierra se coloca entre Betelgeuse y el Sol, de forma que la línea es: Betelgeuse, Tierra, Sol y Centro Galáctico.
Esta firma del Sol en el firmamento apareciendo en el meridiano de Betelgeuse el 19 de junio ha venido ocurriendo durante los últimos 28 años que son 365 meses lunares. Prácticamente hacia el 2.016, el Sol estará un poco más a la izquierda.
Hace unos 3.500 años, según el movimiento de oscilación del Sistema Solar, el Ecuador Terrestre proyectado al firmamento como nuestro Ecuador Celeste cortaba por la estrella Betelgeuse. Así que en los últimos 3.500 años el Sistema Solar ha oscilado haciendo que la proyección del Ecuador de la Tierra en el firmamento haya barrido de arriba a abajo a la constelación de Orión desde Betelgeuse hasta actualmente Mintaka.

Global Orion Links: A Celestial Plan?
2006 12 05
By Gary A. David | theorionzone.com
Humans naturally seem to resonate with the hermetic maxim “As above, so below.” We like the idea that the earth mirrors the stars. We even try to enhance this duality by constructing pyramids, temples, stone circles, henges, or sacred villages to reflect star patterns. Biblically speaking, God’s will shall be done “in earth as it is in heaven.”
But why did ancient astronomer-priests from diverse cultures around the world apparently focus on the constellation Orion as the supreme celestial template?
As some readers know, the primary “Orion Correlation Theory” (OCT) was developed in Robert Bauval and Adrian Gilbert in their international bestseller The Orion Mystery. The co-authors discovered an ancient “unified ground plan” in which the pyramids at Giza form the pattern of the belt of Orion.
According to their theory only briefly summarized here, the Great Pyramid (Khufu) represents Alnitak, the middle pyramid (Khafre) represents Alnilam, and the slightly offset smaller pyramid (Menkaure) represents Mintaka. In addition, two ruined pyramids —one at Abu Ruwash to the north and another at Zawyat al Aryan to the south— correlate to Saiph (Orion’s right foot) and Bellatrix (Orion’s left shoulder) respectively, while three pyramids at Abusir farther south correspond to Orion’s head. http://www.robertbauval.co.uk/articles/articles/gizaorion.html
• (A number of researchers have disputed either all or part of the OCT since its publication nearly a decade ago. http://www.teamatlantis.com/yucatan_test/orion1.html
• And most recently: http://www.mysterious-america.net/cygnus-orion.html
and also: http://www.andrewcollins.com/page/articles/Cygnus_Orion_Giza.htm.)
Egypt was not the only place, however, where Orion’s influence was felt.
Inspired by Bauval’s work, I stumbled across an Orion Correlation that the Anasazi (ancestral Hopi Indians) constructed in Arizona from about 1050-1300 AD. Every major star in the constellation corresponds to a specific masonry village site. The terrestrial replication of the celestial pattern is uncanny.
• Read about the Arizona Orion Correlation at the Graham Hancock Forum: http://www.grahamhancock.com/forum/DavidGA1.php?p=1
• See more information at my own website http://www.theorionzone.com.
• Also consult the maps of this correlation: http://www.theorionzone.com/maps.htm
 About one hundred miles west of Aswan in the Sahara Desert lies an archaeological site called Nabta Playa. Only ten to eleven feet in diameter, this megalithic calendar circle has a north/south line-of-sight as well as a summer solstice sunrise alignment. According to former NASA physicist Thomas G. Brophy, Ph.D., three stones inside the circle mirror the pattern of Orion’s belt at the meridian for this season during the period 6,400 to 4900 BC. Three other interior stones represent the shoulders and head of the constellation for the astoundingly early date of 16,500 BC.
Another set of megaliths south of the circle at Nabta Playa aligns to the vernal equinox heliacal rising [http://www.answers.com/topic/heliacal-rising] in 6300 BC of six key stars in Orion (Alnitak, Alnilam, Mintaka, Betelgeuse—Orion’s right shoulder, Bellatrix, and Meissa—Orion’s head). This vernal equinox heliacal rising happens only once per precessional cycle (nearly 26,000 years).
Satellite Imagery Measures of the Astronomically Aligned Megaliths at Nabta Playa (pdf)
Rock art researcher Rob Milne has found at least three distinct rock engraving sites in South Africa that have been laid out to reflect Orion. At Boomplaas, for instance, an alignment of engraved stones mirrors Orion’s belt as it appears on the summer solstice, December 22nd. Another alignment of stones at the same site imitates the belt during the rising of the constellation shortly before sunrise on the winter solstice, June 21st. Check out Rob’s fine Web site replete with photographs from his expeditions in the bush. http://sabic.co.za/robmilne
Orion Correlations indeed seem to be popping up all over the world. Just over thirty miles north of Mexico City the massive site of Teotihuacán also apparently reflects the stars of Orion. In particular, the configuration formed by the Pyramid of the Moon, the Pyramid of the Sun, and the Pyramid of Quetzalcoatl spatially correlates to Mintaka, Alnilam, and Alnitak respectively, i.e., the belt. http://www.philipcoppens.com/orionimage.html
Author Page Bryant has suggested that two sites erected by the Mound Builders of North America are potentially Orion correlations as well. Both O’Byam’s Fort in Hickman County, western Kentucky and the Hill Works in Ross County, Ohio (the latter about thirty miles northeast of the Serpent Mound) consist of three major mounds corresponding to the belt stars, with one of the three slightly offset in each case.
[Bryant, Starwalking: Shamanic Practices For Traveling Into the Night Sky (Bear & Co, Santa Fe, 1997]
Knights Templar researcher Jeff Nisbet has discovered an Orion correlation in Scotland. To very briefly sum up the template: the islands of Fidra, Lamb, and Craigleith located off the southern coast of the Firth of Forth represent the belt stars of Alnitak, Alnilam, and Mintaka respectively. Northeast of the belt, the Isle of May correlates to Bellatrix. Northwest of May on the Fife Peninsula a few miles south of Eden River once lay a stone circle called the Dunino Circle, now lost. If again found, this may correspond to Betelgeuse.
A line drawn northwest between May and the hamlet of Dunino comes to rest at Dunsinane Castle of Shakespeare’s “MacBeth.” A line drawn southwest from May through Fidra leads to the famous Rosslyn Chapel. A second line drawn from May through the Lamb leads directly to Tara in Ireland, an even more remarkable geomantic feat. A third line drawn from May through Craigleith leads to Temple, Scotland’s earliest known headquarters of the Templar Knights. Due south of Craigleith is the Castle of Yester, which corresponds to Rigel (Orion’s left foot). A line drawn from this isle through Yester intersects the Cisterian Abbey of Melrose to eventually reach the Glastonbury Tor in England.
For more on this excellent research, see Jeff’s Web site: mythomorph.com - The Pyramids of Scotland
According to the Czech magazine WM, three pyramids of stone perfectly mirror the belt stars in Montevecchia, a town in northern Italy about 40 kilometers from Milan. The highest of these pyramids is 150 meters tall. Identified by satellite and aerial imagery, these structures so overgrown with vegetation that they were originally mistaken for natural hills are thought to be over 3,000 years old. http://farshores.org/a03ipyr.htm and http://farshores.org/a03ipyr2.htm
Patrick Conlan has discovered another correlation to Orion’s belt in Ireland at Loughcrew, located three miles from the town of Oldcastle, County Meath. Running for three miles northeast to southwest along a ridge 700 feet high, three evenly spaced peaks are located with the western one slightly offset—similar to Mintaka. Nearby are 5,000-year-old cairn tombs, or passage graves, together with rock art. One stone with star glyphs apparently represents these peaks. http://conlanabu.com/
In addition, three henges located at the Thornborough Neolithic Monument Complex in North Yorkshire, England correlate to the belt stars. This template is arranged similar to the Arizona Orion, with his head pointed southwest. http://thornborough.ncl.ac.uk/index.htm
Other promising candidates for sites corresponding to Orion need further research. For instance, southwest of X’ian in China’s Shensi Province is a pattern of large ancient pyramids constructed of clay that appear to mirror the belt stars. http://www.earthquest.co.uk/articales/theory.html
The Jordanian author Rami Sajdi posits that the belt stars of Mitaka, Alnilam, and Alnitak correspond to the Middle Eastern sites of Jerusalem, the Essene community of Masada on the Dead Sea, and Petra respectively. http://www.acacialand.com/orion.html
Besides providing the exact pattern for locations of temple complexes or sacred cities, the rising or setting stars of Orion were incorporated into the archeo-astronomy of megalithic construction. The Bighorn Medicine Wheel, for instance, is a stone circle about seventy-five feet in diameter with twenty-eight spokes. It is located upon a promontory on the western slope of the Bighorn Mountains in Wyoming at an altitude of over 9,600 ft. The circle is adjacent to a number of line-of-sight cairns that forms astronomical alignments. The heliacal rising of Rigel is marked by one cairn. The helical risings of Aldebaran in Taurus and Sirius in Canis Major are also aligned with specific cairns, and each event is separated by twenty-eight days—the lunar cycle.
Medicine Wheel, Wyoming
In Guatemala, the archaeologist José Fernandez determined that all of the primary temples at the Postclassic Quiche Maya site of Utatlán (established about the time the Hopi Mesas were first being settled in Arizona) were oriented like the Nazca spider to the heliacal setting points of the stars in Orion. [José Fernandez, "A Stellar City: Utatlán and Orion," paper presented at the international symposium "Time and Astronomy at the Meeting of Two Worlds," Warsaw, 27 April-2 May 1992; see Graham Hancock, Heaven’s Mirror: Quest for the Lost Civilization, p. 35.]
Also, recent study of the eponymous Great Zimbabwe located in the country formerly known as Rhodesia shows that on the winter solstice three bright stars in the constellation rise over three stone monoliths on the eastern arc of the Great Enclosure. http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn3137
The ultimate purpose of these earth-sky reflections scattered across the globe remains elusive.
“Is it possible that the incorporation of a ‘celestial plan’ in ancient and mysterious monuments from many different parts of the world, and a particular focus on the three stars of Orion’s Belt... could be parts of a global scientific legacy passed on by a lost civilization of very remote times?”
The above quotation from Graham Hancock’s Fingerprints of the Gods is part of the caption for a photograph depicting a huge spider “geoglyph.” Made in the desert like by removing the darker colored pebbles in order to leave exposed the lighter ones, this earth sculpture found on the Nazca Plain in southern Peru is 150 feet long.
The German mathematician and astronomer Maria Reiche studied this and other Nazca figures and lines for over forty years. She believes that the spider’s legs were shaped to represent the outstretched limbs of Orion with its waist forming his belt. Nazca spider
She furthermore posits that a particular line intersecting this anatomically correct arachnid from the Amazon jungles was oriented toward the heliacal setting of this constellation, perhaps for the purpose of coordinating solar and lunar calendars.
The spider figure is located close to what is known as the Great Rectangle, a geometric form of which has associations with Orion. Located nearby, an anthropoid figure deemed “the Owl Man” also bears an eerie resemblance to the Hopi god of death and the Underworld named Masau’u, who also has associations with Orion. http://www.morien-institute.org/nazca5.html (See a picture of Masau’u: http://www.theorionzone.com/outline.htm.)
The list goes on. As we have seen, either Orion’s pattern in the sky is reproduced by human-made structures on the ground or the rising and setting of Orion’s stars are lined up with astronomical markers. Various cultural sites in Peru, Mesoamerica, North America, Great Britain, Ireland, Europe, Africa, and Egypt along with other locations across the globe concentrate on this particular constellation with an archetypal intensity.
Probably not all of these sky-ground patterns are valid. Still we must still ask the question: Is this merely a series of colossal coincidences or are we witnessing a worldwide Orion legacy that was propagated long ago by a single cohesive force or intelligence? Are these correlations just the result of the collective unconscious or are they the manifestation of a deliberate, unified celestial plan? Are the Orion Correlations merely the intense need for humans to find patterns in the cosmos, or are they the inheritance of some lost super-civilization or even a gift from the stars?
Orion strides across the cold winter sky in stoic silence.

Christian Holidays
The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule."
-H.L. Mencken,
Where do the dates of Christian holidays come from? The answer is bound up in first century astronomy and astrology. Word confusion reigns in Christian jargon. While Christians believe the life of Christ was a real event, it was in fact a story written in allegory of the movements of celestial bodies personified as human events. While modern Christians believe that "heaven" implies a supernatural existence. To ancients, it was the same heaven we see every day. To take one case discussed in detail below, when Christians think of Christ as a person ascending to heaven, what early Christians saw was the constellation Orion ascending.
Sometime during the early history of Christian theology, the astrological roots of Christianity were lost. It might have been before the time of Augustine who famously rejected astrology. Or it maybe it was Augustine himself who recognized that if Christianity held to its astrological roots, it would not survive-we can only guess. Anyway, by studying the heavenly path of Orion, we gain insight to the origins of Christian holidays.
For the first three centuries of Christianity, the only real holiday observance was Easter, and to a lesser extent Pentecost. From the fourth century onward, the calendar grew more complex.
Orion's trajectory
Christianity grew out of pagan beliefs in a sun deity, which explains why Sun-day marks the Christian Sabbath. Christ personifies the sun as it passes around the Zodiac. The sun's spirit is epitomized by the Son of Man and is represented by the Constellation Orion. When the sun dies on the winter solstice, it is reborn three days later on December 25th. Orion begins its ascent on the same day, December 25, with the sun. Orion is located in the house of Taurus, which makes Taurus the heavenly kingdom where Orion sits on his throne (Lepus). Jerusalem is simultaneously a place on earth and the heavenly kingdom in the zodiac. It is the time of righteousness when the sun rises above the equator after the spring equinox.
Figure 1
This diagram gives us a visual reference for explaining the holidays to follow. When the apostles are said to have seen Jesus ascend or descend, it was Orion that they saw.
Orion begins its ascent from the east before sunset on December 25th. It is at its highest point on May 22nd at noon. Then it sets in the west on November 22 before sunset. Orion is not visible when the sun is in Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 24).
In biblespeak, light epitomizes life and goodness, and darkness epitomizes death and evil. It is a time of renewed life when Orion rises with the sun. When the sun crosses the equator (Passover) on the vernal equinox, it has conquered the dark forces. The spring time is the only time of the year when days are longer than the evenings and increasing. This is the time of righteousness, when the sun if free of evil sin. Of note, this is when Mary as epitomized by Virgo, is conceived by the Holy Spirit, nine months before the sun is reborn on December 25.
Gemini is the best time of the year for Orion and the sun. Gemini straddles the solstice on June 22 and Orion's zenith on May 21. Once the sun passes the summer solstice on June 22, both Orion and the sun lose strength to the dark forces. When the sun enters Sagittarius on November 22, Orion disappears into the underworld, not to reappear until December 25 with the sun.
The astronomical significance of December 25 is that it is three days after the solstice when the days start to lengthen. As ancient Christians would see it, it was the time when the spirit entered Christ.
Figure 2: Orion rises from the east before sunset on December 25
when the days first start to lengthen.
Figure 3: Orion at zenith closest to the sun on May 21
Notice the sun overhead and its throne, Lepus, below.
Figure 4: Orion sets in the west at sunrise on November 22
without its spirit, the sun is in its last throes of death.
Palm Sunday - earliest observance, fourth century
Christ entered Jerusalem on the Sunday before Easter.
This definition confounded me for some time. According to the astronomical dates in Gospel Zodiac, Christ entered Jerusalem when the sun was in Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 24), six months out of phase with the traditional holiday date in the spring. The Passover meal is traditionally celebrated just after the spring equinox in Aries. So how do we get from Libra to Aries?
Matthew 26:18 gives the first clue when Jesus says he will eat at a certain one's house. That means that it is a different house than the house they are in. Then Mark 14:15 says that the house has a large upper room. If Libra is a lower room, meaning below the equator, then Aries is an upper room, above the equator. Next, the three gospels say they ate in the evening, implying the opposite of daytime. Putting it all together, it means that when Orion is in Libra in the morning, it is in the same position in the sky six months and twelve hours from that time. In short, it means that Christ entered Jerusalem in Aries in the evening when the sun was in Libra in the morning.
18He said, "Go into the city to a certain one, and say to him, 'The Teacher says, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at your house with my disciples.'"
19And the disciples did as Jesus had directed them, and they prepared the passover. (Matt. 26:18-19)
15And he will show you a large upper room furnished and ready; there prepare for us."
16And the disciples set out and went to the city, and found it as he had told them; and they prepared the passover.
17And when it was evening he came with the twelve. (Mark 14:15-17; Luke 22:12-14)
20When it was evening, he sat at table with the twelve disciples; (Matt. 26:20)
Lepus symbolizes the colt Christ rode on.
7And they brought the colt to Jesus, and threw their garments on it; and he sat upon it.
8And many spread their garments on the road, and others spread leafy branches which they had cut from the fields.
9And those who went before and those who followed cried out, "Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!
10Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is coming! Hosanna in the highest!"
11And he entered Jerusalem, and went into the temple; and when he had looked round at everything, as it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve. (Mark 11:7-11)

Easter - earliest observance, second century
Christ's resurrection from the dead is celebrated following the first full moon after the vernal equinox between March 22 and April 25. Easter has the word "east" in it, the direction of the rising sun. It is a time when the sun passes from Pisces the fish and enters Aries, the Lamb of God.
Figure 5: Orion ascending above the horizon from the east on Easter
The book, Sacred Origins of Profound Things, has some interesting tidbits.
It just so happened that Eastre, a fertility goddess (the ancient word eastre means "spring"), had as her earthly symbol the prolific hare, or rabbit, hence, the origin of the Easter bunny.
At the feast to Eastre, an ox was sacrificed and the image of his horns carved into ritual bread-which evolved into the twice-scored Easter biscuits we call hot cross buns. In fact, the word "bun" derives from the Saxon for "sacred ox," bun. [In the picture above, Taurus the bull sits just above Orion.]
Ascension - earliest observance, perhaps 68 ce
The holiday is observed on the fortieth day after Easter to commemorate Jesus ascent into heaven (Figure 5).
Luke says Jesus ascension took place at Bethany on the same day of his resurrection.
50Then he led them out as far as Bethany, and lifting up his hands he blessed them.
51While he blessed them, he parted from them, and was carried up into heaven.
52And they returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
53and were continually in the temple blessing God. (Luke 24:50-53)
Acts says Christ appeared for forty days from the resurrection at Olivet. The cloud in verse 9 below describes the Milky Way which is just above Orion's head. The two men in white robes describe Castor and Pollex in the Constellation Gemini the Twins.
3To them he presented himself alive after his passion by many proofs, appearing to them during forty days, and speaking of the kingdom of God.
9And when he had said this, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight.
10And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white robes,
11and said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven."
12Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a sabbath day's journey away (Acts 1:3, 9-12)
Pentacost - earliest observance, early third century
The Pentacost takes place fifty days after Easter and commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles.
There are 62 days from the vernal equinox on March 21st, to May 22nd. The Holy Spirit descends upon the apostles, fifty days after Easter. The Jewish Day starts at sunup, so the third hour of the day is 9:00 AM (Figure 3 to Figure 4).
1When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place.
2And suddenly a sound came from heaven like the rush of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3And there appeared to them tongues as of fire, distributed and resting on each one of them.
4And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
5Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven.
6And at this sound the multitude came together, and they were bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in his own language.
15For these men are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day; (Acts 2:1-6, 15)
On May 23, 0001 at 9:00 AM, the Holy Spirit (Orion) begins its descent. With the sun above it, it must have been in impressive appearance. (See Figure 3 moving in the direction of Figure 4)

ERIDANUS (EL PARALELO DEL RIO JORDAN EN EL CIELO) FINALIZA EN ORION. ¿EL MONTE DE LA TRANSFIGURACION QUE ES EL HERMON, AL FINAL DEL MISMO RIO SIMBOLIZA A CRISTO COMO EL HIJO DEL HOMBRE/ORION?
Constelación de Eridanus
De Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre
Eridanus es la sexta constelación más grande de las 88 constelaciones modernas. También es una de las 48 constelaciones de Ptolomeo.
En su extremo austral está la estrella de primera magnitud Achernar (α Eri). Achernar es una estrella muy peculiar porque es una de las estrellas más planas conocidas. Las observaciones indican que su radio es casi 50% más largo en el ecuador que en los polos. Esto se debe a que la estrella rota a gran velocidad.
10. Mateo 16:13: Viniendo Jesús a la región de Cesarea de Filipo, preguntó a sus discípulos, diciendo: ¿Quién dicen los hombres que es el HIJO DEL HOMBRE?
11. Mateo 16:27: Porque el HIJO DEL HOMBRE vendrá en la gloria de su Padre con sus ángeles, y entonces pagará a cada uno conforme a sus obras.
12. Mateo 16:28: De cierto os digo que hay algunos de los que están aquí, que no gustarán la muerte, hasta que hayan visto al HIJO DEL HOMBRE viniendo en su reino.
13. Mateo 17:9: Cuando descendieron del monte, Jesús les mandó, diciendo: No digáis a nadie la visión, hasta que el HIJO DEL HOMBRE resucite de los muertos.
14. Mateo 17:12: Mas os digo que Elías ya vino, y no le conocieron, sino que hicieron con él todo lo que quisieron; así también el HIJO DEL HOMBRE padecerá de ellos.
15. Mateo 17:22: Estando ellos en Galilea, Jesús les dijo: El HIJO DEL HOMBRE será entregado en manos de hombres,
Esta interpretacion no es descabellada, teniendo en cuenta Mateo 16:18,19. Recordemos que estos sucesos son en CESAREA DE FILIPO al pie del MONTE HERMON.
MATEO
16:19 Y a ti te daré las llaves del reino de los cielos; y todo lo que atares en la tierra será atado en los cielos; y todo lo que desatares en la tierra será desatado en los cielos.
Job 38:31: ¿Podrás tú atar los lazos de las Pléyades,
O desatarás las ligaduras de Orión?
13. Salmos 89:12: El norte y el sur, tú los creaste; El Tabor y el Hermón cantarán en tu nombre.
14. Salmos 133:3: Como el rocío de Hermón, Que desciende sobre los montes de Sion; Porque allí envía Jehová bendición, Y vida eterna.
15. Cantares 4:8: Ven conmigo desde el Líbano, oh esposa mía; Ven conmigo desde el Líbano. Mira desde la cumbre de Amana, Desde la cumbre de Senir y de Hermón, Desde las guaridas de los leones, Desde los montes de los leopardos.
3. Deuteronomio 4:48: Desde Aroer, que está junto a la ribera del arroyo de Arnón, hasta el monte de Sion, que es Hermón;

Orión (constelación)
De Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre
- Para otros usos del término, véase Orión (desambiguación).
Orión, (el Cazador), es una constelación prominente, quizás la más conocida del cielo. Sus estrellas brillantes y visibles desde ambos hemisferios hacen que esta constelación sea reconocida universalmente. La constelación es visible a lo largo de toda la noche durante el invierno en el hemisferio norte, verano en hemisferio sur; es asimismo visible pocas horas antes del amanecer desde finales del mes de agosto hasta mediados de noviembre y puede verse en el cielo nocturno hasta mediados de abril, al menos en el hemisferio norte.
Orión se encuentra cerca de la constelación del río Eridanus y apoyado por sus dos perros de caza Canis Maior y Canis Minor peleando con la constelación del Tauro.

[editar] Objetos notables
El Complejo de Nubes Moleculares de Orión. Es una gigantesca estructura de hidrógeno, polvo, plasma y estrellas nacientes que abarca la mayor parte de la constelación. El complejo ubicado a una distancia de 1.500 años luz de la Tierra está formado por nebulosas de emisión, nebulosas de reflexión, nebulosas oscuras y regiones HII.Destaca especialmente por ser una región de intensa formación estelar y por las extraordinarias nebulosas que la forman:
Muchas de las estrellas brillantes de la constelación cómo Alnitak, Alnilam, y Mintaka pertenecen a éste complejo, en el que han nacido.
La constelación de Orión.
En la mitología griega Orión fue un gigante que, según algunas versiones, nació de los orígenes de los dioses Zeus, Poseidón y Hermes. Un día los dioses visitaron a un anciano llamado Hirieo que no podía tener hijos pero deseaba tener uno. En agradecimiento por su hospitalidad le concedieron su deseo: orinaron en la piel del buey que se habían comido. Cuando finalizaron le dijeron que enterrara la piel y que dentro de nueve meses tendría a su hijo. Después del plazo mencionado nació un niño que fue llamado Orión en recuerdo de los orines que lo habían engendrado.[2]
Existen diversas versiones del mito de Orión. Una de ellas cuenta que Orión había violado a Mérope, hija de Enopión, quien por ello, lo dejó ciego. Helios le devolvió la vista y a continuación Orión se convirtió en compañero de caza de Artemisa y Leto. Prometió aniquilar todo animal que hubiera sobre la tierra, por lo que Gea se enfadó e hizo nacer un escorpión enorme que picó a Orión y lo mató. En otra versión fue Artemisa la que lanzó el escorpión contra Orión.[3]
Existe otra tradición que sostenía que Artemisa se había enamorado de Orión, lo cual despertó celos en Apolo, hermano gemelo de Artemisa. Un día Apolo, viendo a Orión a lo lejos, hizo una apuesta a su hermana desafiándola a que no podía asestarle una flecha a un animal (o a un punto brillante lejos en el océano, en otra versión) que se movía a lo lejos dentro de un bosque (o en lo lejano del mar). Artemisa lanzó su flecha y dio, como siempre, en el blanco. Cuando fue a ver su presa, se dio cuenta de que había aniquilado a su amado Orión. Fue tan grande su tristeza, sus quejas y sus lamentos que decidió colocar a Orión en el cielo para su consuelo.[4]
Otra leyenda cuenta que Orión acosaba a las Pléyades, hijas del titán Atlas, por lo que Zeus las colocó en el cielo. Todavía parece que, en el cielo, Orión continúa persiguiendo a las Pléyades.[5]
Orión está representado por un guerrero alzando su arco, su espada o garrote y cubriéndose del enemigo con un vellocino o un escudo. A su lado se encuentran sus perros de caza: Canis Maior y Canis Minor.
En la Mitología egipcia la estrella de Orion, Betelgeuse estaba asociada al dios Osiris.
En algunas versiones de la biblia la constelación de Orion es llamada "Kesil" y la relacionan con Nemrod.[6] [7] [8] [9]
[editar] Orión en otros contextos
En el Legendarium creado por J. R. R. Tolkien en su literatura fantástica se describe una astronomía propia, con cuerpos celestes equivalentes a los de nuestro mundo real, pero con unos nombres y mitología imaginarios asociados. Orión es conocido como Menelvagor en sindarin o Menelmacar en quenya. Ambos nombres significan «el espadachín del cielo», y representa ya sea a Eönwë, heraldo de los dioses o a Túrin, un héroe trágico del libro El Silmarillion.
Orion es también un tema de la banda de thrash metal Metallica, aparecido en el álbum Master of Puppets, del año 1986. Se trata de un tema instrumental, que combina cambios de ritmo, solos de guitarra y bajo, y sonoridades estridentes junto con calmados pasajes espaciales. Es famoso por ser una de las mejores y últimas aportaciones del fallecido bajista Cliff Burton a la banda. Su nombre deriva de James Hetfield quien al escuchar el solo melódico de bajo exclamó que sonaba "cósmico". Asimismo existe otra pieza instrumental de la banda llamada "God is an astronaut" que lleva por título "Shores of Orion".
En la franquicia de ciencia-ficción Star Trek, existe una especie llamada Orión reconocida por ser principalmente un pueblo de piratas, mafiosos y prostitutas.
Así mismo, en la saga de videojuegos Halo, "Orion" es el nombre que recibe el proyecto de mejora genética de super soldados, previos a la creación del Proyecto Spartan II.
"Orion" es la segunda canción de la Cara A del álbum de 1979 de Jethro Tull "Stormwatch", tercero y último de la trilogía de Folk-Rock de esta banda británica capitaneada por Ian Anderson.

Nebulosa Cabeza de Caballo
De Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre
La nebulosa Cabeza de Caballo (Horsehead nebula en inglés) o Barnard 33 (B33), es una nube de gas fría y oscura, situada a unos 1.500 años luz de la Tierra, al sur del extremo izquierdo del Cinturón de Orión. Forma parte del Complejo de Nubes Moleculares de Orión, y mide aproximadamente 3,5 años luz de ancho. Esta nebulosa oscura es visible por contraste, ya que aparece por delante de la nebulosa de emisión IC 434. Por su forma es la más familiar de las nebulosas de absorción.
El color rojizo de la nebulosa de emisión se origina por la recombinación de los electrones con los protones de los átomos de hidrógeno. La estrella más brillante, situada a la izquierda de la nebulosa, es la popular Alnitak (ζ Orionis) del Cinturón de Orión. La forma inusual de Cabeza de Caballo fue descubierta por primera vez en una placa fotográfica a finales del siglo XIX por Williamina Fleming, en el Observatorio del Harvard College. El primero en incluir en un catálogo a la Nebulosa Cabeza de Caballo fue Edward Emerson Barnard de la Familia Barnard, en 1919.[1]
[editar] Entorno de la nebulosa
En la foto del entorno se ven también nebulosas de reflexión, que reflejan preferentemente la luz azul de las estrellas cercanas.
En la fotografía también puede verse, en color anaranjado, la Nebulosa de la Flama, catalogada como NGC 2024, en la parte inferior izquierda. Recibe este nombre por su parecido con una hoguera. Un franja oscura de polvo interestelar absorbente se destaca en silueta contra el resplandor de la emisión del hidrógeno y, de hecho, oculta la verdadera fuente de energía de la Nebulosa de la Flama. Detrás de la franja oscura yace un cúmulo de estrellas jóvenes y calientes, vistas a longitudes de onda infrarrojas a través del polvo oscurecedor. Una estrella masiva joven de ese cúmulo es la fuente probable de la intensa radiación ultravioleta que ioniza el gas de hidrógeno de la Nebulosa de la Flama.
En la imagen también se aprecia la nebulosa NGC 2023, debajo de IC 434; es una nebulosa de reflexión, de ahí su característico color azulado. IC 431 aparece justo a la izquierda de la Nebulosa de la Flama.
