This is a really interesting webbot. Clif is a proponent of Anatoly Formenko’s “new chronology”. He talks about how history really covers only about the last thousand years and how the Church changed the calendar back in the 1500s in order to have it mark a stellar alignment with a particular star in a chamber in the Great Pyramid on 1/1/2000.
Clif is uncertain as to why the date 1/1/2000 is important to the PTB’s.

There was a huge effort since the 1500s to get us all thinking about 2012. To engineer it as such so that the calendar they created in the 1500’s had a direct alignment with a star and that particular channel in the Great Pyramid on January 1, 2000.

Spotlight Reviews of Anatoly Fomenko's "History, Fiction or Science?"
By Timothy Horrigan © 2005-2006
Dr. Fomenko is a Russian mathematician who has branched out into history. He is a founder of the controversial "New Chronology" movement which essentially states that history only goes back till about 1050 AD. From what we now call the 11th through 15th centuries, there was a Eurasian empire (what we now call the "Byzantine empire") which lasted almost 400 years. In the 15th century, the various remnants of the empire developed their own versions of the story, each with their own nation at the center of the story. These stories were eventually recombined into a single narrative which repeats itself cyclically. I am personally a little skeptical, but I am at least convinced that the conventional chronology is basically fictional, being based on written documents which in almost all cases are much newer than the history they record.
"A Pretty Wild Theory", February 22, 2005 (5 Stars)
This book presents a wildly radical restructuring of the timeline of world history. It is written by an outsider to the world of historical scholarship: Fomenko is a non-historian (a renowned mathematician) and a non-Westerner (from Russia.) Fomenko's theory says, basically, that everything we are told about history pre-1600 is BS. Ancient history is, according to Fomenko, based on evidence quote-unquote "discovered" since the 15th century and arranged into a spurious standard timeline in the 18th century. (In some cases, the evidence was discovered much more recently: some Eastern religious texts were only uncovered in the 20th century.) Fomenko collates this evidence to argue that all those ancient chronicles are different versions of events which really happened roughly between 1000 AD and 1400 AD. The key event in Fomenko's timeline is the life of Christ (who was born in 1053 AD rather than 6BC, Fomenko believes.) After a relatively short-lived Eurasian empire disintegrated, each nation made up their own version of the empire's history, and generally each new version of the story was set farther back into the past than the previous one. (The newest version is the Hindu Krishna myth which is set about 10,000 years before the present day.)
This is an appealing theory, since it eliminates the various "dark ages" which blemish the conventional chronology.
On the other hand, this is an appalling theory, since it creates one big dark age extending from the beginning of time till 900 AD or so. The book is translated from the Russian. There is no index, and the bibliography is rather annoyingly arranged in the original Russian alphabetical order (so for example, B's and V's are mixed together.) But the translation is extremely readable, more readable than most historical works originally written in English. This is the first book in a projected 7-volume set.
"A detailed timeline of classical history--- quite different from the conventional one," July 20, 2005 (5 Stars).
This is the second volume in a projected 7-volume series. It's not quite as much fun as the first volume, where Dr. Fomenko outlined his radical historical theories. This is something of an appendix to volume 1, showing how the timelines of the "First" through "Third" Roman empires, ancient Egypt, ancient Greece, and the Bible are all reflections of events which took place in so-called "Medieval" times. The reason pre-1600 history tends to move in cycles of about 350 years (punctuated by Dark Ages) is, we are told, because there only is about 350 years of pre-1600 history in the first place.
Since I went through the Columbia University's "Contemporary Civilization" program as an undergraduate, I was personally amused to see that two Classical Greek writers who were conventionally viewed as being ancient and historically inaccurate (though still great)— i.e., Homer and Herodotus— are viewed here as being relatively recent and accurate (as well as great.)
Fomenko's timeline becomes even more radical in this book: for example, Fomenko now tells us that Jesus probably lived in the 1100s, not the 1000s. And he was Russian.
We have a few volumes left before Fomenko gets around to British and American history.
I wonder if the date 1/1/2000 has something to do with the Masonic calendar which is based on the year 5990 A.L - Anno Lucis or the “Year of the Light" and the return of the “Black Sun” (black dwarf sun). Did the Church have to “resynchronize” its calendar after they decoded the Mayan Tzolkin calendar?
It’s interesting to note that Formenko’s time frame coincides with “history” of the Knights Templar.
So the next part of the puzzle seems to involve the Knights Templar and the secret knowledge they discovered in their excavations under the Herod’s Temple in Jerusalem.
Whatever secret knowledge they discovered also seems to have played a part; it prompted the Church to change its calendar and Dr. John Dee to map out a new longitude in order to provide an accurate solstice marker for a particular stellar alignment relating to Anno Lucis and the year 2000. I believe that Sirius is the particular star involved in the 1/1/2000 alignment.
I wonder if the other great secret had to do with the Templar’s discovery of the true roots of Christianity -- “Mandaean Christianity”. Could this have caused the Church to rewrite history in order to place “orthodox Christianity” within a certain context or time frame? What secret knowledge did the Mandaeans know and what is the origin of their religion?

The Year of the Light
http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/cienc ... cts75c.htm
The calendar of the Freemasons begins four thousand years prior to the Gregorian, at the time of a reported supernova that they commemorate as Anno Lucis, the Year of Light, and about the same time that a fantastic leap in civilization was accomplished in Sumeria and Egypt.
Noone recalls that Dr. Anthony Hewish, 1974 Nobel Prize winner, while tracking astronomical anomalies in the heavens, "demonstrated that... strange rhythmic pulses were radio emissions from a star that had collapsed or blown itself up in the earth's southern sky some time around 4000 B.C."
The ancient Sumerian cuneiform table Michanowsky was deciphering described a giant star exploding within a triangle formed by the three stars Zeta Puppis, Gamma Velorum, and Lambda Velorum.
Michanowsky continued deciphering the Sumerian star catalogue, containing observations going back for thousands of years. The remarkably accurate star catalogue now stated that the blazing star that had exploded within the triangle would again be seen by man in 6,000 years.
This means, interestingly enough, that the Sumerians set the date for the reappearance of the supernova in about the year 2000 A.D.
1940 Congressional Record - September 2001 Earmarked For a Start-Date
http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread670608/pg1
"Actual documents dating from the mid-twentieth century showing that, even as far back as the late 1930s, secret societies had earmarked September 2001 as a start-date for the 'New World Order.' "
It is amazing that this was put into the Congressional Records. Regarding the dates, did anything significant happen on 17 September 1701? Also it appears that September 2001 was the end of the 6000 year period marking the start of the Millenium. Or more like the start of the Tribulation? Although we have gone nearly 9.5 years since...well beyond the 7 biblical years (perhaps more akin to Nostradamus' prediction of a 28 year war {on terror}).
Anno Lucis – Year of Light
http://reality101blog.blogspot.com/2010 ... light.html
During my ascension through the ranks of Freemasonry, one of the things that I am researching vigorously is the origins of the Mason Calendar of Light, or "Anno Lucis" timetable.
I came across an interesting book in the Masonic library last month, refuting the claim (often made by non-Masons or uninformed brethren) that the start of the AL dating, 4000 BC, is due to the Bishop Usher calculation of Genesis.
Usher, you might know, counted backwards using the alleged ages of people in the Old Testament, and came up with the year 4004 BC for the date of creation. Just because the Usher date is close to the AL start date- 4004 instead of 4000 - many people just assume (due to Freemasonry's connections to Christianity) that the Masonic calendar is based on Usher.
However this old book, written in the 1700s, instead asserts that the A.L. date is based on a calendar created by an Isis cult from ancient Egypt. In the year 4000 the star Vela went supernova, and for months, if you were located near in the latitudes of Egypt, you would have seen two suns.
The Vela explosion effectively created a "year of Light" by blazing away and preventing any night for most of the year 4000. The Isis priests apparently took this as a sign for a new era being born and started their calendar accordingly."
The Freemasons begin their calendar from A.L., "In the Year of Light," found by adding 4000 to the modern year: Thus 1990 + 4000 = 5990 A.L.
George Michanowsky wrote in The Once and Future Star that;
"The ancient Sumerian cuneiform...described a giant star exploding within a triangle formed by...Zeta Puppis, Gamma Velorum, and Lambda Velorum...located in the southern sky....[An] accurate star catalogue now stated that the blazing star that had exploded within the triangle would again be seen by man in 6000 years."
According to the Freemason's calendar it will occur in the year 2000.
The Aldebaran Mystery
http://www.ufodigest.com/news/0208/alde ... stery.html
Suppose the Reich survivors learned from their Aldebaran mentors the secret the ancient Sumerians possessed–that, in a regular 3600 year cycle, the surface of planet Earth is devastated by the passing of a dwarf-star which is companion to our solar system. And that this Dark Star was calculated once again to swing through the inner planets during the early years of the 21st Century. Such a monumental event would grant the “Thousand Year Reich” a meager seventy year or so life span. Thus might the Reich survivors not wisely choose to disappear from the surface world and develop hardened underground ’shelters’ in the remote wastes of Antarctica, patiently preparing to safely ride out the Dark Star’s passing?

The Iraqi Mandaean Conspiracy:
Known to few outside the 'secret society' community, Iraq is in fact the most hotly contested and highly coveted real estate on earth, because it is the site of evidence of the true origin of Christianity and Judaism, and possibly many other religions as well.
In southern Iraq, an orthodox purity cult sect called the Mandaeans live much as they have for the last 2,000 years. They are apparently an offshoot of a group that followed an earlier Christian teaching in the tradition of John the Baptist, or possibly the Essenes - one of many groups of the era that broke away from mainstream religion for various reasons, usually because of a belief that the mainstream religious establishment had 'sold out,' or became too worldly or preoccupied with wealth and power. It has been determined by researchers that the Mandaeans of southern Iraq are in fact the Nasoreans, who were driven from Judah circa 37AD. Along with many other fugitive 'churches,' they fled groups of hired mercenaries intent on suppressing the growing Christianity movement.
Strangely enough, the Mandaeans view Christ as a rebel heretic who betrayed secret Nasorian traditions, but accept John the Baptist as a holy man - they practice washing and bathing rituals similar to modern Christian baptism ceremonies.
There are several compelling connections between the practices of the Mandaeans and the worldwide secret society community, particularly the traditions of Freemasonry, a secret society that traces it's origins to the order of the Knights Templar.
While the Templars were originally commissioned and backed by the Roman Catholic church, they quickly became more influential and powerful than their sponsors. During the inquisitions and investigation that followed the purge of the Templars by Philip IV in 1307, it was revealed that the Templars which were involved in secret religious practices were apparently an offshoot of the esoteric teachings of the 4,000 year old Babylonian Mystery Schools, and that they employed rituals and symbolism that indicated this. Similar symbolism and rituals are also found in modern freemasonry.
The name 'Mandaean' comes from a root meaning 'secret knowledge,' and they employ a ritual grip of hands for a 'deal' or 'righteousness' - a very freemasonic concept.
When the Knights Templar fled the European purge in 1307, a large group fled to Scotland and Robert the Bruce's protection. It is not known, however, what happened to the Templar treasure fleet that slipped away in the night from La Rochelle in Brittany or the treasure and documents from Herod's Temple that were known to be hidden inside the massive twin pillars at the Templar lodge.
Many authors and researchers speculate that they fled to the coast of Central or North America, long before Columbus. The Sinclair family of Scotland claim their ancestors landed in North America in the early 1300s, making it very possible they were involved in an expedition with the Templars, many of which were known to be in Scotland at that time.
Mandaean heritage linking them to the Nasoreans also gives them a connection to the Qumranians, a group that are known to have buried scrolls and documents under the temple of Herod - where the fledgling Templars, only nine members strong, conducted excavations for nine years in the early 1100's. The Templars finally departed abruptly and very quickly became the most powerful political, religious, and financial force in the
civilized world. What did they find that enabled them to wield such power?
The teachings of the Mandaeans describe an idyllic land to the west, found by following a star they called Merica. Could information about the existence of Merica possibly have been among the treasure and secret documents discovered in Jerusalem? Did the Templars travel to Merica, a century later, to avoid capture? It is at least more than coincidental that our land is called America, just like this distant idyllic land to the west known to the Mandaeans.
While it is not known if the Templars ever arrived or established a secret colony in North America, history is full of veiled attempts to find their elusive treasure. Hernando Cortes was overtly after a fabled ancient golden city in North America, and was told by the Aztec leader that white men from the ocean were 'expected' to return for their treasure.
What could be the secret that they have - the Mandaeans and the Templars? Other than treasure, what could be so compelling that Iraq as a society and culture must be slated for
complete destruction
The Secret of Iapetus:
The ancient city of Ur seems strangely out of place and time. Note the use of advanced architecture and building techniques. Were the builders helped by an alien intelligence?
For the Mandaeans, Sumerians, and Eblans of the region, their relationship with a 'god ' seemed to involve their developing a working knowledge of science, math, medicine, agriculture, astronomy, written and oral language, and government/administration. Incredible as it sounds, the ancient religions of the southern Iraq region describe an interaction between the local population and a being from space.
In this planisphere, or map of the heavens, from Nineveh, Iraq, dated 3300 BC, a being called En.LIL is described as visiting and departing our solar system.
This 'religion' and 'worship' seems to have initially been a teacher /student type of relationship.
Babylon, or Babel, is Chaldean for 'Gateway of the Gods.' This is because the Chaldeans taught that Babylon was built over the original location of the 'coming and going' of the gods.
According to ancient records and artifacts, beings visited Earth from a planet called NIBIRU. Their world, the visitors claimed, is dragged along by a smaller brown dwarf star that orbits our sun -- an enormous orbit that takes almost 4,000 years to complete.
These ancient records describe this dwarf star, dragging along its planets, as periodically passing near enough to our solar system for them to send ships to earth, where they would engage in accumulation of gold and other metals through mining operations using bituminous (oil/petroleum based) products as fuel to refine ores. The visitors would send these materials into low earth orbit, eventually returning with them to their ship, which would remain in orbit between Mars and Jupiter.
According to Sumerian records, the Annunaki claimed that as their planet approached our system they would arrive from their world on ships, each containing fifty occupants, materials and supplies. These ships would then enter our solar system, assuming an orbit passing between Jupiter and Mars. They would remain there for several hundred years, as teams sent to Earth gathered gold and other metals from southern Africa and the region between the Tigris/Euphrates Rivers sending them back to the orbiting ship. Others gathered minerals and ores from the asteroid belt. As they completed operations, their ship would leave its orbit and approach Saturn. Using Saturn's enormous gravitational pull to assist their acceleration they would then 'slingshot', returning to their own system which would be completing the nearest part of its 4,000 year orbit and heading back out into deep space.
Saturn's enormous gravitational and electromagnetic fields were regarded with great fear and awe by the Annunaki - they called it TAR.GALLU, or 'the great destroyer'.
Apparently this was because of an incident in their distant past when a ship with fifty occupants was lost on a mission to the inner solar system. Possibly through trajectory or flight path miscalculations, the story describes a craft becoming trapped in a large orbit around Saturn, hopelessly dooming its occupants from any timely rescue. A Sumerian cuneiform text, published in 1912, describes this incredible disaster as an Annunaki named MARDUK rushes to his father, EA, with terrible news.
However, was the fact that a correction in the flight path of the probe had sent it within photographic range of Iapetus, a body that orbits Saturn in a very large and unusually inclined orbit- far wider than any other object circling Saturn. Scientists believe this extremely remote orbiting object was most likely 'trapped' or pulled into orbit instead of originating as part of Saturn's moon and ring system.
OANNES, OR JOHN THE GOD IN FREEMASONIC LEGEND:
http://www.thunderbolts.info/wp/forum/phpB ... 822#p48685
Deep within the bowels of Freemasonry, unknown to the vast majority of “Blue Lodge” Free & Accepted Masons (F&AM) is a dual legend of the origin of Freemasonry in remote antiquity.
In one version, the founder of Freemasonry is said to be the Hebrew Patriarch Enoch, who “walked with God” and did not taste of death. Enoch is often associated with the Great Divine Being Metatron, and, in Elizabethan Occultism, the system of Magick and the occult cipher which bears his name.
The legend of Enoch closely parallels the story of the later Hebrew prophet Elijah, who was said to have been taken alive into the Heavens in a Fiery Chariot. He is also associated with the Babylonian astrologer Heabani, also said to have been taken alive into the skies by the god Hea.
This legend is paralleled by another associated with a mysterious being called “Oannes”. The historian Berosus, and later Alexander Polyhistor, described Oannes, or John as a sentient amphibious creature which emerged from the Persian Gulf in ancient Sumer in the daytime to teach the arts and sciences to humanity.
At sunset, he returned to the waters of the Gulf. One may find associations with various versions of the Jonah legend, that of the fish-god Dagon, Sumer appeared ‘out of nowhere’ about 5500 years ago in southern Mesopotamia. No trace of their culture or unique language has been found elsewhere. They disappeared about 4000 years ago, having left a profound impact on Babylonia and other civilizations in economics, the art of writing, mathematics, astronomy, legal practices and architectural forms, as well as religion.
As noted above, one early Masonic history has it that,
“The Masons hold their grand festival on the day of St. John, not knowing that therein they merely signify the fish-god Oannes, the first Hermes, and the first founder of the Mysteries…” At the time the orthodox Grand Lodge was organized in the early eighteenth century, this was associated with St. John the Baptist and celebrated on June 24th.
Later the date was shifted, and, it appears St. John the Baptist was supplanted by St. John the Evangelist, but John the Baptist remains the chief patron saint of Freemasonry. The first three Degrees of Freemasonry, known collectively as “Blue Lodge” Masonry, are also called “Johannite Masonry” - that is, the “Masonry of John”. We find this very revealing.
The legend of the Oannes is discussed in connection with Sumerian and Babylonian Sirius lore in Robert Temple’s The Sirius Mystery, perhaps the only literate ‘ancient astronaut’ book available.
The aquatic “god” Oannes or John seems to be the primal key to the earliest contact between the Ultraterrestrials and human adepts.
THE Vesica Piscis is, at once, a sign of Divinity and a sign of “Amphibiousness”. This suggests an early origin associated with the great Initiator, the Fish God from Sirius, known as John or Oannes.
The term means ‘fish bladder’ and was the Sign held most sacred by the early Christians, and was the basis for much of the Church architecture of the Gothic period.
If we examine the legend of John the Baptist, patron saint of Freemasonry, what do we find? A semi divine teacher, associated with the prophet Elijah (Matthew 11:14, 16:14, 17:12; Mark 6:15, 8:18; Luke 9:19) who ascended alive into heaven in a chariot of fire before many witnesses (2Kings 2:1-14), John stands half immersed in the water, baptizing others into Wisdom by immersing them.
This apparently is an echo of that more remote John, Oannes, the Sumerian-Babylonian half-fish, half man who taught humanity by day, but returned to the waters by night. The only surviving cult of John the Baptist, the Mandeans, live in modern-day Iraq, the former Babylonian and Sumerian Empire.
His legend is often confused with that of Jesus, the dying and rising god first illuminated by John (their followers were in contention with one another for some time after John’s martyrdom).
The Hebrew name for Jesus, Yehesua, is identical to that of the Old Testament wonder-working prophet, known in English as Joshua.
Joshua was the Son of Nun (that is, son of the fish) and this also refers to a crucified sky god who brings knowledge.
In Masonic lore, the “two Johns” of the New Testament get interchanged in the Eighteenth Century. John the Evangelist is substituted for John the Baptist, but the latter is, in magical lore, associated with the Astrological Sign Cancer and late in the month of June, thus revealing, once again, the same origin in Oannes.
These are, of course, the very arts and sciences taught to humanity by the Gods of Sirius (Sothis) in ancient times.
“Consider this mystic star and let its recollection never depart from your mind. It is the emblem of that genius, which elevates us to great things…” The great Masonic authority Albert Pike boasted that “Sirius still glitters in our Lodges as the Blazing Star.”
Did John Dee map out a new longitude to create the proper solstice marker for the return of the Black Sun in 2000?
God’s Longitude
http://www.enterprisemission.com/millenn4.htm
In discussing the decision by the Church to ignore Na'amat Allah's 33-year (with repeating "8-leap-year") cycle, Cassidy and Steele have pointed to the ability of that system alone to determine an exact "true Equinox" longitude on Earth. Clavius' system spread the Equinox out over a 53-hour range, but there was nowhere on Earth that could have a true midnight-to-midnight Equinox. Under Allah's system, the Equinox, while neatly confined to a 24-hour period, would necessarily straddle two consecutive calendar dates. For instance, at Greenwich, England, the Equinox would fall from 5:08 AM on March 21st to 5:08 AM on March the 22nd.
Their theory is quite plausible, as far as it goes. But it ignores the obvious: if the Catholic Church knew the significance of the 77° longitude, they would certainly realize that the English knew it too, once they observed the settlement patterns of the first English expeditions. Why not then just go ahead and implement their better 33-year calendar? And why did the English themselves never implement "the perfect Christian Calendar?" What was to be gained in "Christian" (or, more practically, Protestant) terms of keeping up Gregory's ruse?
So, do we have an alternative explanation ... a compelling reason that the 33-year calendar cycle has continued to be publicly suppressed (and by both sides) for the intervening 400 years?
To understand the motives of both sides, it is educational to examine the key figure in the English decision to seek the holy longitude in the new world, Dr. John Dee.
The relevance to the entire issue of deliberate "calendar manipulation" is best understood when we look at Dee's involvement in the English response to the Gregorian Reform.
In it, Dee called for an 11-day correction, as opposed to the Gregorian 10-day correction for 1582. But a note attached to the work allowed for a 10-day correction in 1583. In a complicated exercise explained by Cassidy, he asserts that Dee was actually trying to implement the 33-year"Anni-Domini" (Allah's) calendar by only seeming to "accept" the Papal Decree. But Dee's 10-day correction would only work if 1584 was declared subsequently not to be a leap year. This, however, was not done, and England stayed on its own calendar until 1752, when they finally acceded to the Gregorian Reform that most of the rest of the world had long been using -- but with an 11-day correction (instead of the "Gregorian" 10). In doing so, they actually set (by their own clock) the date of the Vernal Equinox on March 21st ... but only on "God's Longitude."
Shortly after Dee had returned to England in 1589, a young law student named Johann Bayer (1572-1625) made a contribution to astronomy that almost certainly sprang from this "secret knowledge" that Dee had apparently been spreading "on the Continent." Bayer was a Bavarian "amateur" astronomer, who first named stars by assigning them to constellations and giving them Greek letters (alpha, beta, gamma, delta, etc.), in order of decreasing brightness. His seminal work, the "Uranometria" (published in 1603), not only set this new standard for stellar designation but also created several entirely new constellations ... one of which will ultimately have a major role in unraveling the mystery we have before us.
What Bayer did was to literally "carve out" a new constellation from the stars of Canis Major. Canis Major, of course, contains the key celestial player in the Millennium madness we are documenting -- Sirius. Bayer's new constellation is also located precisely on the meridian with Orion, a relationship which we took to be a "marker" of some kind for future events. He named this new constellation "Columba," apparently after "the dove that is sent out from Noah's Ark to search for dry land after the deluge." What we next needed to do was figure out the history and mythology of this new constellation, and any connection to the New Atlantis Dee and Bacon had been seeking.
According to Allen ("Star Names: Their Lore and Meaning"):
"[Columba] was made up from the southwestern outliers of Canis Major, near to the Ship [Argo] -- Noah's Ark -- and so it was regarded as the attendant Dove."
“Doves" in the Noah story indicate a need to determine exact lat/long ...again, after a major, watery catastrophe...
Robert Temple, author of the aforementioned "Sirius Mystery", has exhaustively explained the deeper connection between the Argo (the Ark) and Sirius ... Most interesting is his discussion of the deep (hidden?) relationship between the true nature of the companion to Sirius, Sirius B -- the amazing white dwarf -- and a little known visible star in the same constellation of Canis Major, called by the Arabs, "Al Wazn" -- "Weight" -- so-called (according to a leading Arabic astronomy expert) because "...the star seems to rise with difficulty from the horizon." The Arabic expert, Ideler, called this "an astonishing star name."
Temple goes on to equate this nomenclature, applied to a visible member of Canis Major, with the ancient, degenerate, "hidden knowledge" regarding the actual existence of Sirius B -- the super-dense (but invisible to the naked eye) white dwarf that orbits in the Sirius system. What Temple did not know (or did not report, because he considered it irrelevant for his discussion) was that when Bayer "stole" some of Canis Major's stars to compose the new constellation, "Columba," in 1603 -- one key star of the new constellation was this same "Al Wazn" ...
"Weight!" The same star that Temple, just under 400 years later, identifies with a "secret," degenerated knowledge of the Sirian system itself ...
So, there is an undeniable connection (through this star) between the "Sirian Complex" of the Dogon myth and mythos of Canis Major ... and the "new" constellation of Columba, "the Dove."
The other strong connection to Temple's Sirius Mythos comes with Columba's association with "Argo" -- the Southern Constellation representing (loosely) "Noah's Ark" -- and its classic use as an escape from a great planetary flood/disaster.
Temple refers to the other variants of this same Hebrew story then circulating in the Middle East, including "The Egyptian story [according to Allen, that] said that it was the ark that bore Isis and Osiris over the Deluge ..." Now -- if you refer to the major MIT science historian, the late Livo Stechini (in a significant appendix to Tompkins:
"Secrets of the Great Pyramid"), you find that Stechini makes an excellent case that the "doves" of the Noah story are actually a classic Egyptian reference to "a standard Egyptian glyph for the stretching of meridians and parallels."
So ... it's clear that the "secret" creation of a visible new constellation called "the Dove" (Columba) in 1603, out of some Canis Major stars, linked with Argo and the entire Sirian Complex, was not accidental. It was, instead, secretly emblematic at that precise time of the transposition of the terrestrial Egyptian "meridians and parallels" into the sky …
There were three stars called Wezen, weight: 1) Delta Canis Major, Wezen, (Sirius); 2)
Lambda Argo Navis (Vela) (Lambda Velorum); and 3) Alpha Centaurus (Rigil Kent) (Centaurus).
However, there were two stars “usurped” from Canis Major (Sirius) when Bayer created the constellation called Columba. The part thus usurped was called Muliphein from al-muhlifein. These two stars are now: alpha and beta Columbae (Phaet and Wazn).
Did the Vela supernova occur in Canis Major (Sirius B) or in Lambda Velorum?
