Isn't it strange that the symbols of the zodiac seems to accompany the dominant religions of the times? The christian age 0-2000 A.D. is connected to pisces, the jewish people sacrified goats (aries) thousands of years ago, the culture in greece was a bull-cult (taurus) at the time the jews fled egypt. In a book by Graham Hancock (dubious fellow, I know) he outlined a theory where the Sfinx in Giza actually was a lion from the beginning, and that the human head was made later. Based on measurements of the grade of erosion on the Sfinx he calulated the statue to have been built in the age of Leo, so that every summer solstice in the age of Leo the Sfinxs' head pointed directly towards the star constellation Leo. I saw a program once about the jewish escape from Egypt, where the makers put out the theory that the cloud in the sky the jews used for direction day and night in fact could have been a pillar of smoke and lava from the volcano eruption that destroyed so many islands in the mediteranian (Santorini etc). The eruption could also explane the parting of the sea as told in the Bible. The bull cult in the mediteranian was wiped out by this event. Maybe a religion has to comply to the zodiac to be succesfull? But I don't know what it means that we now are in the age of aquarius.
cool discovery ping
