Most of our day yesterday was consumed with football. Getting ready for the game, going to the game, at the game and then coming home from the game. Thankfully the football gods were watching over us and we won! We’re now 9 and 3 and have a chance for home field advantage if we can win out or maybe even go 3 and 1. Good times in Denver.
I did receive 1 comment yesterday from my request for input on what to include in the blog, here it is,
I vote to keep doing what you are doing.
Thanks Grandma Annette,
Now just like the big O, I’ll take this as an overwhelming mandate from 99.9% of the American people and keep plugging away. Everything is not political as you know I tend to go back and forth between economics and the challenges we face as a people or society. So in that spirit, here’s some fun facts concerning the big 2012 theory. Check this out, pretty interesting.
Planetary Alignment with the Pyramids of Giza
Now, no matter what you may think about the significance (or lack thereof) of a very interesting planetary alignment on December-3 2012, the fact is… it is happening and seems fairly remarkable.
On 12.3.12, the layout of the three pyramids of Giza in Egypt will line up (exactly) with the position of the planets Saturn, Venus, and Mercury.
The planets will not be floating directly over the pyramids in alignment (like some of the images I’ve seen floating around the internet), however the position of the planets themselves in the early morning sky will pattern exactly with the layout of the pyramids.
I was suspicious myself, so I decided to do my own due diligence. Besides, I enjoy a bit of astronomy now and again…I’ll bet you can really see the stars well from Oklahoma, right Grandma Dix?
First, using the free program ‘Stellarium’, which shows stars, planets, and other space objects with relation to a time, date, and geographical position, I set the program location for the coordinates of Giza, Egypt. Then, after setting the date to the early morning DEC-3, looking WSW, I captured the image of the planetary positions of Saturn, Venus, and Mercury.
Then, using Google Earth, I zoomed in on the location of the three Giza pyramids and captured that image.
Finally, I adjusted the relative image size to see if the three planets truly lined up to the same pattern as the three Giza pyramids. The result is shown in the image at the top of this article, and as you can see, they do line up.
Is it meaningful? Who knows… It is a curious observation to say the least.
To take it further… I found this factoid… there are 25,920 Minutes from December 3, 2012, 11:11am to December 21, 2012, 11:11am. 25,920 is also apparently the length of time for us to make a 360 degree rotation all the way around our Milky Way galaxy (years), also known as the Precession of the Equinox… and is the same length of time of the Mayan calendar… which ends on DEC-21 2012. Interesting symmetry, yes?
The ancient Egyptians were really ahead of their game. We (our scientists) still don’t understand the pyramids and astrological meanings of their society. Isn’t it amazing how civilizations from thousands of years ago still know more about some things than we do even with all our modern technological advancements and supposedly superior intellect. Maybe as my Mom used to say, “we’re too smart for our own good”, or in other words, we’re not as smart as we think we are, hmmm.
History can teach you a lot. In fact, history is the mother of all teachers as it’s true what they say, everything pretty much repeats its self. Yet like little children, we refuse to learn from our past and think we know best. Well, take it for what you will. No matter what you believe, some things are just too coincidental and at least deserve some attention, but that’s up to each of you.
It’s a super busy week around here with things going on each day. I’ll fill you in more tomorrow as it’s after 7am now and I’m already feeling the pressure of the day. Have a great week, take care and God Bless.
