The Other Side of Midnight

Show Page: Alternative Listening: By now, almost everyone has heard the idea that ?the three main Pyramids on the Giza Plateau in Egypt, remarkably, ‘line up' geometrically with the almost identical celestial spacing and angles of the three brilliant ‘Belt Stars' of the constellation of Orion? — a theory first widely publicized in 1989 by ?rogue Egyptologist,? Robert Bauval. What is NOT known is that seven years earlier, while sitting at her desk one afternoon in 1982, our own Barbara Honegger — holder, among other duties, of the NASA/Space portfolio in the Reagan White House, Office of Domestic Policy — was having a ?moment.? Suddenly, in the middle of a completely mundane task … Barbara had three ?flashes of Insight,? what she termed ?a sudden Knowing.? 1) That the three Belt Stars of Orion were celestial ?analogs? to the three main Pyramids at Giza (remember, seven years BEFORE Bauval!). 2) That, their Main Purpose was to line up geometrically on Earth as a direct analog to the Orion geometry in the sky — pointing DIRECTLY toward another spot on the Giza Plateau, a spot corresponding to THE most important star in the Ancient Egyptian cosmology: the ?dog star? Sirius itself .. which, of course, corresponded to the fabled Egyptian goddess, Isis. 3) And, at THAT desert location something ?overwhelmingly important? would be found buried … perhaps … an ancient Temple to Sirius (Isis) herself …. Or … could it be something even MORE extraordinary? THAT'S our ?Sirius Point Mystery? tonight. Join us. Richard C. Hoagland
