Allen talks about sunrises and equinoxes (goes way over my head, as I said, never studied astronomy nor astrology.)
Good stuff. Although Serkey never had any temples in 3700-3500BC.....
But where does it say, "the dead become stars?"
I'm not disputing cosmic myth, I'm just saying, don't take them too literally, they're intended as allegories.
The daily passage of the sun, or in more northernly climes, the yearly passage. Periods of growth, and periods of decay. The lunar cycle, or even zodiac cycle.
I'm right with ya, however you don't need kabaalah or chaldean astrology to unravel the mysteries of this cosmic myth. In fact by the time the Bible was written the original teachings had long been lost. Stay as close to pre-dynastic Egypt & Sumer as possible. Never go further than 2100BC, that's when it just goes down hill. (And which seems to be where you begin you're research)
You've peaked my interest, so what do the manger and riding the ass correspond to in the heavens? What is this? A passage of time, the orbit of a particular star sign?
and please God never take the "prevailing Greek and Roman views" seriously. Those people were notoriously dense, the quintesentially uninitiated.
I mean, seriously dude, they shouldn't even make an appearance in your book.
Just remember, Babylonian astrology came over 1500 years after the Sumerians & Egyptians (and don't forget the Irish, we've been building astronomically aligned Burial Chambers since 3500BC). So keep to the primary civilizations, the peoples that created this cosmic myth.
Quote:In Egyptian astronomy it represented the goddess Selkit, Selk‑t, or Serk‑t, heralding the sunrise through her temples at the autumnal equinox about 3700-3500 B.C.

Quote:The book of Matthew is a fusion of ancient astrology from Babylon circa 2000 BCE with the prevailing Greek and Roman views (manger, inn, riding the ass.)
