So how did he correlate the ruins with constellations? How does that give him a place to look?

My question also. See my post #15.
My question was just about the Mayan cities, but you rightly ask about the other cities around the world, also.

We must respect cultural differences. That is what makes us this grand mosaic or something.

There are other articles out there that are more in-depth.

Just how are all those cities laid out according to the stars. The stars are pretty far away to be casting light beams on particular spots.

Do Mayans drive Aztecs?No, Jaguars. They wouldn't be caught dead in an Aztec.

I got a laugh today reading test papers from young pupils, all laboriously written in block style writing. One test paper asked, “if you were marooned on an island, would you prefer to be alone or marooned with someone you hated”. One enterprising youngster had written, “with someone I hated because I would need something to eat”.
I’m gonna’ avoid deserted islands if this kid is in the tour group.

I had posted a picture of the area the kid searched and a picture of the constellation - from the website link.

Total agree. The Spanish were horrified when they saw what they were about. The Conquistadors arriving was about like the allies rolling into the Nazi death camps.

Graham Hancock wrote Heaven’s Mill (among other works), in which he proposed that the ancients practiced a “ground-sky dualism” — and that the monuments at Giza and various other ancient cities were laid out according to star patterns from around 12,000 years ago.
Who wrote about it in the ‘70s, do you recall?
