The Step Pyramid at Saqqara, whose longitude is one-tenth of a degree east of Giza's, was the first stone building in the world, created around 2650 BC by the architect Imhotep for the pharaoh Djoser (Fig. 7. 6). Epsilon Boötis A is an orange giant star of spectral type K0 II-III, with an apparent magnitude of 2.37. Izar / Epsilon Boötis is located in the constellation of Boötes, marking the Herdsman’s waistcloth. of GECO-PRAKLA, Oslo, a leading international seismic survey company), who confirmed that around 2700 BC the alignment was close. 6. Another participant was Robert Bauval, whose book "The Orion Mystery"21 suggested that the three giant pyramids of Giza not only incorporated star alignments in their so-called 'air-shafts' (Fig. 24. With the date set for 2840 BC, at the Stonehenge latitude, the Milky Way really does line up with the horizon once a day and Epsilon Boötis really does go through the zenith as well, earlier each day. Many books and articles said that Lawton conducted an active radio search for LDEs, but in reality he stopped after getting an initial 'reply', on the grounds that further transmissions "would constitute a biassed experiment". So, just by letting the stars wheel on, we verified it at once. Epsilon Boötis A is not part of the constellation outline but is within the borders of the constellation. (ST references: Star Charts, Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library) which were no use except in suggesting areas to search for other types of evidence. A. Thom, A.S. Thom and A. Thom, 'Stonehenge'. Their own ideas about science in ancient society are rejected by many astronomers and most archaeologists; in consequence, they refuse to entertain any more controversial notions, such as a previously unknown civilisation on Earth, or extraterrestrial visitors. It’s still circumstantial, all of it, but it looks as if it may add up to something very significant. The primary star, Epsilon Boötis A, has 4.6 solar masses, it is thus 460% more massive than our sun. Nothing that big was launched in 1958-59, nor in 1975; the European Helios 1 was launched in December 1974, but its carrier's upper stage did not escape from the Earth into orbit round the Sun. coordinates 4.37N 4.44W; 36.7, 84.7, 17.6; Starfleet Intelligence sector 1, Alpha Quadrant Many books and articles said that Lawton conducted an active radio search for LDEs, but in reality he stopped after getting an initial 'reply', on the grounds that further transmissions "would constitute a biassed experiment". Duncan Steel, 'SETA and 1991 VG', The Observatory, April 1995; 'Of Asteroids and Aliens', The Skeptic, 15, 1, 9-10 (1995). 1. And if the Step Pyramid was originally faced in that way, then as nearly as we can measure it, a perpendicular line up the north face met the prime meridian at the declination of the southern intercept between the galactic equator and the ecliptic, marked I2 in Fig. There are several real or suggested Zodiacal star maps, laid out on the ground, which centre on Boötes. Sean O'Neill, 'Totem Poles Give Pointer to Siting of Stonehenge', The Daily Telegraph, 28 June 1996. Gravity pulled together the swirling gas and dust to form the second brightest star of Boötes, Epsilon Boötis. I had studied megalithic astronomy under a leading expert, Prof. Archie Roy, and seen nothing unusual; there was no correlation even with Category D; and when I did the calculations, the markings Alan had found didn't seem to be galactic. Robert Dawson Scott, 'Silent Power from a Time of the Ancients', The Daily Telegraph, 10th January 1997. The description is based on the spectral class. Duncan Lunan, 'Space Probe from Epsilon Boötis?'. (Christopher Chippendale, 'Life around Stonehenge', New Scientist, 101, 1404, 12-17, 5 April 1984). The altitude of the pole above the northern horizon is equal to the observer's latitude, and the heavenly bodies circle around it, parallel to the equator, with the daily rotation of the Earth. If the spacecraft's attitude-sensing platform was fixed, built into its structure, it would still be correctly lined up with the sky once a day. So we withheld publication, until April 1996, when a whole new situation developed. That one can't be verified optically in a planetarium with the same certainty, because the tilt of the Earth's axis to the equator is not constant, varying between 22 and 24 degrees.15 In 2840 BC it was near maximum, and has since declined by over half a degree. What looks more likely, on Fig. 3, is that there was something in the centre of Stonehenge I, which was gone by the building of Stonehenge II and III. 3). As Fig. orange giant star of spectral type K0 II-III, https://www.daviddarling.info/images/Izar.jpg, https://www.star-facts.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Izar-1024×620.jpg?189db0&189db0, https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/83/PositionEpsBoo.PNG/220px-PositionEpsBoo.PNG, https://www.star-facts.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Bo%C3%B6tes-constellation.jpg, https://www.star-facts.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Izar-location.jpg?189db0&189db0. 8. (ST references: Star Charts, Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library), Izar orbits a K class orange star. The Epsilon Boötis star system consists of an orange giant star of spectral type K0 II-III, and a blue-white main-sequence star of spectral type A2 V. The Epsilon Boötis star system is located at around 203 light-years / 62 parsecs away from the Sun. Epsilon Boötis A is an orange giant star, and the translation indicated that the probe makers had evolved on its second planet, emigrating later to the sixth when their sun began to expand. But neither will be relevant when it enters our Solar System: the only coordinate system common to its system and ours is the galactic one. I suggested to the 1996 Edinburgh International Science Festival that we organise a seminar on 'Heresies in Archaeoastronomy', examining the ideas that were too controversial even for archaeoastronomers to consider. Epsilon Boötis A has a surface gravity of around 2.2 cgs, and it is cooler than our sun, with surface average temperatures at around 4.550 K. The rotational velocity of Epsilon Boötis A has been estimated to be at around 10.9 kilometers / 6.7 miles per second. Category B would be optical or electromagnetic anomalies pinpointing such an object (like the Tycho monolith in 2001); Category D would be the 'von Daniken material' of legends, drawings etc. Category A would be our objective, an artefact of unquestionably extraterrestrial origin. Epsilon Boötis A is a giant star that can be located in the constellation of Bootes. Optical searches of the Lagrange points in the late 1970s found nothing. He stressed that his was purely a personal interest, which had to remain confidential, but as he's since left the Army that no longer applies. Prof. Archie Roy gallantly agreed to introduce it, and not surprisingly it drew a capacity audience. In 1973, a science fiction writer and also astronomer, named Duncan Lunan claimed to have interpreted a message caught in the 1920s by two Norwegian scientists. Epsilon Boötis B is a much faster spinner than Epsilon Boötis A, with an estimated rotational velocity of around 123 kilometers / 76.4 miles per second. 4). 14. It's universally agreed that the Stonehenge Avenue and the later structure both mark the midsummer sunrise. Orbiting bodies and locales: The apparent evidence of water erosion suggests that the Sphinx and its flanking temples were built as long ago as 10,500 BC, when Egypt last had a wet climate towards the end of the Ice Age. George Sassoon, 'A Correlation of Long-Delay Radio Echoes and the Moon's Orbit', Spaceflight, 16, 7, 258-265, July 1974. Below, we'll see some reason to think that might have been their intended purpose, at least. Soon afterwards, however, Archie Roy himself published an article from which we learned that the radiocarbon dating scale had been revised, pushing Stonehenge I back from 1800 BC to 2700 BC. On the high-resolution photographs of Stonehenge Alan Evans pointed out a curious horseshoe-shaped marking on the northwest, cutting the bank and overlying Station Stone 93 (Fig. Ronald N. Bracewell, 'Manifestations of Advanced Civilisations', in John Billingham, ed., "Life in the Universe", MIT Press, 1981. Even more remarkably, however, Alan Evans discovered that during the crucial years of the 12th century, between the Second Crusade and the fall of Jerusalem to Saladin, Jerusalem too had the same galactic alignment as Stonehenge I and Giza in 10,500 BC. 27. The two components complete one orbit around each other, once every 1.000 years or so. Location: The Galactic Centre is 27,000 light-years from us and hidden behind dense clouds of absorbing dust in the inner regions of the Milky Way, so its location cannot be pinpointed visually, only with a radiotelescope. It would be remarkable if that was a coincidence, but if it's. At that point, the three enquiries – in the three very different areas of ancient positional astronomy, mediaeval history and the 1920s radio echoes – are actually three aspects of the same enquiry.
