DCMB: "Also, zodiac constellations are not Egyptian, and there is no evidence that Leo was recognized as a lion by anyone, least of all Egyptians, 12,500 years ago. The Egyptian astronomical system was completely different from the Mesopotamian scheme that eventually gave us the zodiac. The oldest Egyptian representations of a lion constellation are New Kingdom, and there is good evidence that the Lion is not Leo. The zodiac we know was not introduced into Egypt until the Ptolemaic period, and it is a Graeco-Roman transplant.
DCMB: "If the star-aligned shafts in the Great Pyramid tell us the Egyptians wanted the north sides of their pyramids to face the northern sky, and south sides of their pyramids to face the southern sky, why would they arrange Giza with the southernmost pyramid matching the most northern star of the Belt and vice-versa? If the Egyptians intended the Giza pyramids and the Sphinx to reflect the arrangement of the sky in 10,500 B.C., why is the Sphinx on the wrong side of the Nile? In fact, Bauval and Gilbert had to turn a map of Egypt upside-down to get the Giza pyramids to match the stars in the Orion Belt."
10And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 11The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. 12And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. 13And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. 14Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. 15And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three (of) hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits. 16A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.
Job 9:9 Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south. Job 9:8-10 (in Context) Job 9 (Whole Chapter) Job 38:31 Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?

I may be alone in this but if the ancients wanted to leave a message where it could be 'found
very easily' - Yes i'll buy it the pyramids would be a good start. So why not just inscribe
messages inside them? There is after all plenty of wall space!

Whats a monetary system to do with clear messaging ?

Do you just place them randomly or might you perhaps take a more pragmatic approach and place the structures in such a clever way (since you are going to have to build them anyhow for your recovery vaults) that allows you to encode a layer of important information using the language of astronomy and math (which are pretty universal 'languages') and pass on to your descendants, telling them what happened, when it happened and (if it's a cycle) when it might happen again? Might not that be a more secure way of ensuring the information does not get erased or otherwise lost?

We know that the pyramids are older than 2000 years and even back then they were considered ancient according to Greek historical writing. My question is, If astronomy and math are "pretty universal" and passes on to descendants, then why did it take thousands of years to decipher?

Yeah I hear that all the time from people that aren't published.
Is saying that alone supposed to be enough information to discredit a person who's work has been published?
I don't think so.
I am dubious of Mr. Herschel's writings... it may be that his heart is not
fully in place for discovery of arcane secrets and more into 'making a buck'!
