Dr. Giorgio de Santillana, historian and author of Hamlet’s
Mill, traced all the ancient myths and legends around the world
to show they had a foundation in the description of the
procession. Jane B. Sellers then extended Santillana’s concept in
The Death of the Gods in Ancient Egypt by analyzing Egyptian
myth to show the consistent reference to the procession of the
stars in their religious beliefs in the Osiris- Horus myths. These
myths were the center of their theology, they empowered the
pharaohs, and determined their death beliefs and practices.
The Orion Mystery by Robert Bauval (an engineer) and Adrian
Gilbert use the procession of the equinoxes to add proof that the
Great Pyramid and the King’s Chamber were used to send the
dead Pharaoh’s spirit to the Orion constellation. By use of
modern astronomy software they calculate the Age of Aquarius
to begin approximately 2012-2013 AD when a half precession
cycle of 12,920 shows the Orion constellation at it’s highest
declination of -1 degree 50 seconds and it’s maximum altitude at
the Meridian at 58 degrees 11 seconds. It’s opposite point at
10,300 BC would have been the beginning of the Age of Leo
when Zeta Orionis would have a lowest declination of -48
degrees 53 seconds and an altitude at the meridian of 11 degrees
8 seconds. (Footnote 1)
This last calculation hints that the Egyptians might have
considered that the concept of Great Return could begin at the
Age of Leo when the stars in Orion are at its lowest declination.
Jane Sellers stated that “I am convinced that for ancient man,
the numbers 72...2160, 25,920 all signified the concept of the
Eternal Return.” Footnote 2. It takes 72 years for the precession
to move 1 degree, 2,160 years for one Age, and 25,920 for the
entire cycle to repeat.
Robert Hand in the essay, The Age and Constellation of Pisces,
uses the date of 221 AD as the date when the topical and
sidereal zodiacs where in alignment which was deduced by
Fagan and Bradley. From this point he calculates the first star
in Pisces to cross the vernal point at 111 BC, which would place
the Age of Aquarius to begin near 2,012 AD.
