Reddit reviews The Message of the Sphinx: A Quest for the Hidden Legacy of Mankind

Hmm ... The names were always of Arabic origin for me. Alnilam, Mintaka, Alnitak.

And it was always curved somewhat ... an arc of sorts.

Ancient Islam actually had very advanced astronomy and named so many of the stars and constellations. That was before the dark ages and all of that. Not exactly a history expert (but working on this) so I'm not sure of the exact terminology or timeframes, but you get what I mean. From early civilization to medieval times to Romantic times to now. Or something like that.

I am somewhat of an amateur astrophotographer and astronomer as well, and I particularly focus on Orion, and Sirius in Canis Major, and Aldebaran and the Pleiades in Taurus, because of their relevance and mention in the ancient mysteries -- The Sirius Mystery, The Dogon people in Africa, and The Orion Mystery. The Great Pyramids at Giza align with the belt. I believe Graham Hancock mentions this variously in his works like The Message of the Sphinx and Fingerprints of the Gods.

Read Graham Hancocks book about it, great read!

Well among other things, the weathering patterns on the sphinx indicate that its over 10000 years old, when the sahara was not a desert. There are power tool and saw marks on various stonework pieces where the pyramids were built, the the Egyptologists insist that they were built with stones and rods.
In addition, the Egyptians were unable to replicate the atomic levels of build accuracy of the great pyramids. The desert is dotted with attempted reproductions that were unsuccessful. You dont build a car and then the next model you produce doesnt even start.

Take a look at Graham Hancock and Robert Bauvel's work. Years ago I read this book which start my questioning of the official historical account of the pyramids.
