The belief systems of the ancient civilisations across the globe were in almost all cases, completely off track. Lets now explore their pathetic obsession in worshiping either Sun or sun-like star as the place where their ‘gods’ came from and the idols associated with the cult. The importance of directing prayer to a single universal Creator was sadly forgotten. This seems to be a human weakness that occurs over and over again through time.

The above image is from a star atlas computer program. It depicts prime examples of the repeating ‘cosmic pattern’, which you will already have come across on the home page. (The thumbnail images on that page show star maps deduced from ancient artefacts, murals, and pyramid layouts).

The image above shows the position of the Sun’s path (on the Ecliptic), and two comparative positions of the Sun that one might incorrectly assume are solutions for Egypt and the other ancient star map interpretations proposed by Wayne Herschel. It is important to show the path of the Sun, so as to distinguish between the Sun and the Sun-like star the author identifies in the repeating examples of the cosmic pattern making up his star maps. When examining the star maps, one may feel compelled to try and make the Sun fit the star maps as the ‘sacred place’ due to the current theory that it is our Sun that is being worshiped. This would be a huge mistake here.

Compare the Sun’s path with the extremely slow moving position of the nearby Sun-like star (the star that the author believes is the ultimate solution to all the ancient star maps is shown in the position here as a small yellow dot where it appears to match the star maps… at a time 17250 years ago).

here are a number of reasons why the author believes a Sun-like star and not our Sun is in question in these ancient star maps.

• In Egyptian pyramid star map template where the Sun is at its closest match to the Sun temple position, it is a mismatch by five times the appropriate distance for a correlation.
• When the Sun passes between the bull’s horns of Taurus, in May there is a mismatch by as much as seven times the appropriate distance.
• In the sky, it is not possible to see both the Sun and the Pleiades.
• In the case of the Senmut tomb, (bottom image) the red dot in a circle is the same size as the two linking nearby stars (black dots) of the ‘hoof’ of the leg of the bull. Our Sun would therefore be far too big to match the miniscule red dot.
• Given how often the same star map recurs around the world, and given that the ancients’ texts globally all refer to ‘gods’ that come from the stars, such a belief strongly suggests that a star and not the Sun is the solution to the cosmic template that is integral to all these civilisations.
• And last but not least: Why would the ancients be obsessed with something as commonplace and mundane as the daily appearance of the Sun?

As already mentioned, the position of the Sun between the bull’s horns (often seen with the Apis bull in ancient Egypt) poses an obvious mismatch by distance and size when compared to the collective examples of the repeating cosmic pattern of the ancients. This being the case, then why did the ancient Egyptians sometimes portray the ‘solar disc’ between the horns of the celestial bull?

The answer is simple.

In his book, ‘The Hidden Records, author Wayne Herschel debates his interpretation and in summary here are the important factors to consider.

The Pleiades and the Sun-like star (that Wayne believes was significant to the ancients), are found directly behind the horns and neck of the celestial bull of the sky. On a practical level, when carving a statue, a convenient place the solar disc could be incorporated, would be for it to be wedged firmly between the horns. It would seem murals inadvertently emulated this portrayal.

Be that as it may, there is very early evidence at the Temple of Hathor in Dendera of the solar disc being placed correctly in the ‘sacred’ position in the nape of the neck of the celestial bull and not the horns (as in the case of the earliest ancient Egyptian relic… the Narmer tablet discussed in the book). This is exactly where the Pleiades and the Sun-like star are found in the night sky.

Notice how the celestial bull cryptically points to the disc with his ‘sacred’ leg! The Dendera zodiac disc repeats the same them, as does the Senmut tomb mural (see below). And if you were wondering about the crescent… The ultimate question should be… Is the crescent conclusively indicative of a world in partial shadow from its Sun-like star, and not our moon at all? A theory further corroborated by other ancient relics and the Nebra disc ( Click here for Nebra disc).

As a matter of interest, the ancients showed the celestial boat that Ra traversed the cosmos in, as egg or disc shaped. In the book it is also debated that his ship most likely shone like the Sun. It is quite likely that ‘his star’ that he came from was confused with ‘his celestial’ ship (see this website for the Sumerian tablet of a man in disc attached to a Sun-like star), hence resulting in the two very different concepts becoming merged over time.

If all this sounds farfetched to you, it is the book with its 300 full colour pages that will no doubt provide you with the back up evidence that will allow you to reason in depth how the author comes to his startling conclusions.

Depicted here is part of the mural taken from the Senmut tomb at Deir el Bahri (see insert top left). Note how Horus/Sokar represents Orion’s belt showing the way (using a rod in this depiction) to the ‘leg of the bull’ constellation in Taurus, namely the Pleiades. In the astronomical version seen here, the Pleiades have been magnified and repositioned (and are therefore not a precise representation of the stars by the ancient artist). However, it seems artistically reproduced with such simplicity, an age old teaching method of how to find… the place of the ‘gods’.

Consider the size of the red solar disc (red dot in circle radiating beam of light down to Earth). Its size is the same size as the two ‘hoof’ stars of the leg constellation that one must follow to the sacred star. Is this not conclusive reasoning that the red disc cannot possibly be our Sun? Note also the beam of light, or perhaps a cosmic ladder from the red dot down to the Earth. The narrator of the story is also pointing to the star in question. Is this not the ultimate proof, hiding in a locked up tomb in Egypt, of the reality of a story that should justifiably challenge everything we thought we knew about the ancients?

There are more ancient star map representations that are not mentioned on this website due to the overwhelming and ground breaking stories that are attached to them. Two examples are found in Meso-America, while the Inca in Cuzco, Peru, also had there very own star map. There is amazing evidence of a planet with continents associated with the star their ‘gods’ ostensibly came from.
