188 7 The Dates Shown on the Monumental Zodiacs in the Denderah and Esna Temples<br />
Figure 7.34: The final variant <strong>of</strong> decoding for the main horoscope on the Big Esna zodiac, which resulted in a complete<br />
solution. We encircled the groups <strong>of</strong> figures related to the planetary symbols (marked in yellow) on the main horoscope.<br />
ets for the days shown on the main horoscope (see the color<br />
annotated Big zodiac on Figure 7.33, where all the “doubles”<br />
are marked in green).<br />
Mars and Mercury on March 31 – April 3, 1394, were<br />
located almost at the same latitude, i.e. nearly at the same<br />
place on the ecliptic. In this case, on the zodiac, these two<br />
planets could be displayed in any order. The planets on the<br />
Big zodiac are shown in the following order: Jupiter, Venus,<br />
Mars, Mercury (see Figure 7.34).<br />
At the days indicated by the solution, at the time Venus,<br />
Mars and Mercury were rising, the Sun was submerged behind<br />
the horizon at least 14 o (SUH= 14 o ), what practically was a<br />
complete darkness. All these planets were well visible before<br />
the dawn during the days <strong>of</strong> our solution, as well as in earlier<br />
days.<br />
Moreover, one week earlier than the dates indicated by<br />
the main horoscope, on March 25, 1394, all three planets —<br />
Venus, Mars and Mercury met at one point on the sky. At<br />
that moment the distance from Mercury to Mars, and from<br />
Mercury to Venus was only 3 minutes <strong>of</strong> latitude and the<br />
brightness <strong>of</strong> Venus was M = −3.5, the brightness <strong>of</strong> Mercury<br />
was M = +0.7, and <strong>of</strong> Mars was M = +1.3. With such large<br />
values <strong>of</strong> brightness, especially the brightness <strong>of</strong> Venus, and<br />
with such small distances separating these planets, they all<br />
appeared to an Earth based observer watching the sky by<br />
naked eye, as an unusually bright spot. Without doubt, it<br />
Figure 7.36: The close meeting <strong>of</strong> Mercury (M = +0.7), Mars<br />
(M = +1.3) and Venus (M = −3.6), before the dawn in the<br />
morning on March 25, 1394 A.D. in Cairo. (The computations<br />
were obtain using the program Turbo-Sky)<br />
was an impressive astronomical event. The submersion <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Sun under the horizon at the moment <strong>of</strong> rising this “triple<br />
star” was about 14 o , so it was still the night. On Figure 7.36,<br />
we show the configuration <strong>of</strong> the Sun, Mercury, Mars and<br />
Venus, on March 25, 1394, before the dawn in Cairo. At that<br />
time the Sun was submerged 10 o under the horizon.<br />
Let us point out, that the Big Esna horoscope was compiled<br />
based on the planetary locations after the occurrence <strong>of</strong>
