* the three pyramids of gizeh are the most famous, everlasting and iconic land-
marks in the world; hermians, altars, sundials, carefully placed as tones on
the scale, descending and ascending in the balance; the first pyramid is car-
dinal, the second is fixed, and the third is mutable; the third decan of tau-
rus is cardinal earth, the synodic return of kappa/kronos, hence "capricorn";
the pyramids' dimensions and relative positions have been measured to common
agreement within geometric tolerance(Petrie's 1880-82 survey, "web mercator"
WGS84 ellipsoid/EPSG:4326, etc.); for star mapping, JPL's DE431 ephemeris is
ideal for use with astronomy software; the 2.59 gigabyte binary is available
here: ftp://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/pub/eph/planets/Linux/de431/lnxm13000p17000.431
(covers epoch of date -13200-08-15 to 17191-03-15); this file works with the
popular freeware Cartes du Ciel: https://ap-i.net/skychart/en/download ; the
following chart lists the approximate center of each pyramid base in decimal
degrees of latitude and longitude:

1st Pyramid: ~29.979182, ~31.134206
2nd Pyramid: ~29.975980, ~31.130789
3rd Pyramid: ~29.972513, ~31.128241

* for this example, the Cartes du Ciel/Sky Chart program is set to approximate
the geocentric sky using ecliptic coordinates for julian day -2073524 (10390
years BC) to see if the famous Edgar Cayce reading 5748-6 which says "10,490
to 10,390 before the Prince entered into Egypt" . . ."date BC of that period"
might show that the calculated epoch of date positions of the "Belt of Orion"
stars Alnitak, Alnilam, and Mintaka could closely align with the present-day
positions of the pyramids:

Alnitak: L +274*30'18"/+274.505000 B -26*44'18"/-26.738333 29tau41:48
Alnilam: L +273*17'43"/+273.295278 B -25*55'25"/-25.923611 28tau29:13
Mintaka: L +272*12'10"/+272.202778 B -24*57'12"/-24.953333 27tau23:40
Aldebar: L +259*48'30"/+259.808333 B -05*56'23"/- 5.939722 15tau00:00

comparative studies of this subject (particularly by Bauval, Hancock, et al)
have consistently showed that the first two pyramids are clearly an "x marks
the spot" match with the first two stars, while the third pyramid is clearly
not centered on the third star, and yet it is tangent to it about two-thirds
of the way down the western edge of the pyramid's slightly-concave tetragram
base (this subtle star-shape most apparent in the first pyramid, least so in
the second); the coincidence of the third star so exactly touching the third
pyramid at its west edge provides further compelling evidence of correlation
by design; the "mighty hunter in the field" theme of the unforgiving mutable
quartette fits neatly with the classic mythology of life, death, and rebirth;

Le proporzioni del corpo umano secondo Vitruvio

"The length of the outspread arms is equal to the height of the man. From the hair-
line to the bottom of the chin is one-tenth of the height of the man. From below
the chin to the top of the head is one-eighth of the height of the man. From above
the chest to the top of the head is one-sixth of the height of the man. From above
the chest to the hairline is one-seventh of the height of a man. From the chest to
the head is a quarter of the height of the man. The maximum width of the shoulders
contains a quarter of the man. From the elbow to the tip of the hand is a quarter
of the height of a man; the distance from the elbow to the armpit is one-eighth of
the height of the man; the length of the hand is one-tenth of the man. The virile
member is at the half height of the man. The foot is one-seventh of the man. From
below the foot to below the knee is a quarter of the man. From below the knee to
the root of the member is a quarter of the man. The distances from the chin to the
nose and the hairline and the eyebrows are equal to the ears and one-third of the
face"

* man's height is 4 cubits; from hairline to base of chin is 4/10 = 0.4 cubits;

cubits; groin is 4/2 = 2 cubits above floor; foot is 4/7 = ~0.571429 cubits (cf.
Vitruvius' description "4 palms make a foot" = ~0.666667 cubits); from floor to
base of knee is 4/4 = 1 cubit; from base of knee to groin is 4/4 = 1 cubit; from
base of chin to base of nose is 4/30 = ~0.133333 cubits; from hairline to base
of eyebrows is 4/30 = ~0.133333 cubits; from base of eyebrows to base of nose
(top to bottom of ears) is 4/30 = ~0.133333 cubits; face is 12/30 = 0.4 cubits;
from the eyes level with center of pupils to top of square is 4/16 = 0.25 cubits;
left pupil is dilated in the decreasing sunlight (seasonal from summer to winter
solstice, diurnal from postmeridian to antemeridian), right pupil is constricted
in the increasing sunlight (from winter to summer solstice, from antemeridian to
postmeridian); space between the pupils is about 1 palm-width = ~0.166667 cubits
(drawing measurement closer to ~0.164164 cubits);
