Who are we? Part 6
By: Seeker
If we have evidence of prior civilizations, what happened? How could we reach such pinnacles and fall back into the dark? Why do the mystics tell us of times when we were much more than we now are, when we knew and could do things that sound, to we sophisticates in the modern societies, like made up fantasies?
One thing the Ancients knew about that is indisputable is the Precession of the Equinoxes. Now it isn’t impossible to notice how, on a given day of the year, the constellations appear to move slightly in the sky. Across the lifetime of a modern man, a constellation will move about 1º ‘backwards as compared to the way Earth’s rotation and orbit make it seem to move.
Over many centuries, the movement is obvious – Christ was born around the time the constellation in the East just before dawn on the vernal (Spring) equinox was changing from Ares to Pisces. Currently we are changing from Pisces to Aquarius.
But there comes a number of questions – 1º is not a large movement to notice across seventy years. According to our view of history as taught conventionally, the ravages of life in ancient times meant short life spans. So it would take quite a number of lives before the apparent movement could be large enough to notice. Also the complete cycle is over 25,000 years long; conventional history says we only kicked off civilization about 7,000 years ago.
The questions are, how did the ancients find out and accurately map the Precession? Why did they find it so important they incorporated it into myth and stone?
