Guest guest Posted December 20, 2001 Report Share Posted December 20, 2001 DEAR LIST In school i have learned that the Iliad And Odisea of Homer are considered to be classics of literature just like The Ramayana and The Mahabharatha from India. Recently i have read a book called Homer's Secret Iliad by Florence and kenneth Wood. They have expanded the theory of her mother Edna Johnson that the Iliad was written to conceal some astronomical knowledge. The Iliad is centres about Achilles which is represented by Sirius, alpha canis majoris and his regiment of Myrmidons is the constellation of Canis Major. He is the greatest warrior at Troy. On page 63 we read "The central astronomical theme of the Iliad concerns precession of the equinoxes. One allegory describes the decline of a north pole star from about 2,800 to 1,800 BC" If this is the case, and the evidence looks strong, then we are talking about sidereal astronomy and its sister astrology. >From page 64 " the pole star in the period of which Homer writes was Thuban in the constellation Draco, but Polaris in Ursa minor now indicates celestial north, magnitude 2.1" To students of secret societies Thuban is very important and it has alot of meaning. Draco is also very important but i would not elaborate here because it is a very confidential matter and some people may misunderstand or spoil my saying. On page 65 " The fall of the city of Troy is an allegory for the "fall" of Ursa major, the constellation that represents Troy. >From page 66 "Thuban's tour of duty as a pole star ended at about 1800 BC. The return of Achilles to the field of battle is an allegory for the appearance in the sky of Greece of the star Sirius c. 8,900 BC". >From that book we can see that AGAMEMNON , "king of men" is Regulus. Nestor is Capella in Auriga. Menelaus is Antares in Scorpio. Diomedes is Mirphak from Perseus. Great Aias is CAnopus. Paris is Orion, Venus is Aphrodit, Moon is Hera, Mars is Ares, Jupiter is Athena, Mercury (at dawn) is Apollo, Mercury (at dusk) is Hermes, Saturn is Poseidon (?). In our so call history, which has been written by the conqueror (who?), we learn that Hipparcus (c135 BC) discovered precession. But Hipparcus lived some 600 years after Homer and the Vedas were compiled from oral tradition into written soon after Kali yuga started around the year 3102 BC. The Surya Sidhanta is a vedic treaty and a book dealing on astronomy-astrology and it describes precession. We have a recent uncovered evidence that the Incas as well knew about precession and they have hidden the fact in their "mythology". I have not read the book about it yet, but i have seen the TV programme and the evidence is amazing. After reading about those facts we can think that other cultures also have hidden their knowledge within their mythology. I know that the Mayas had different names and shapes for their constellations but they were aware of their influence on earth. The Incas knew that they were going to have a decline in their golden age by looking at the precession. After the decline, an Inca king predicted that after 100 years the Spaniards were going to take over. He based his prediction based mainly on the fact that the Sun, which was rising within the limits of the Milky Way, was moving to the left and in 100 years from then, it was going to raise "outside" the Milky Way due to the precession of the equinox.

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2001 Report Share Posted December 20, 2001 natabara, Very interesting post. I was wondering if the book on the Incas was the one by William Sullivan "Secret of the Incas : myth, astronomy and the war against time"? There is another one I heard about by Santillana and von Drechand, called Hamlet's Mill which goes into similar ideas. Why is the part about the constellation Draco supposed to be confidential? regards, Dietmar At 09:36 AM 12/20/01 +0000, you wrote: DEAR LIST In school i have learned that the Iliad And Odisea of Homer are considered to be classics of literature just like The Ramayana and The Mahabharatha from India.
