NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Astrological age

An astrological age is a time period in astrology which is believed by some to parallel major changes in the Earth's inhabitants' development, particularly relating to culture, society and politics. There are twelve astrological ages corresponding to the twelve zodiacal signs in astrology. At the completion of one cycle of twelve astrological ages, the cycle repeats itself. Many experts believe that the Age of Aquarius has arrived recently or will arrive in the near future. On the other hand, some believe that the Age of Aquarius arrived up to five centuries ago, or will not start until six centuries from now. ^[1].

Overview

There are four broad perspectives on the Astrological Ages:
1. Archeoastronomers are interested in the ages because some researchers believe that ancient civilizations often depicted cultural references to the ages. Archeoastronomers in general do not `believe' in astrology, but study the cultural traditions of societies that did refer extensively to astrology.
2. Astrologers in general have a mild familiarity with the Astrological Ages due to their study of the zodiacal signs in horoscopic astrology.
3. The general public has become aware of the Ages, or the Age of Aquarius at least, since it was publicised in the musical Hair. A number of unsubstantiated urban myths circulate about the Astrological Ages in various media.
4. Research astrologers that study and publish articles or books on the Astrological Ages tend to raise many more issues and controversial approaches to the ages compared to the average astrologer.

Definitive details on the Astrological Ages are lacking and consequently most details and urban myths available about the Astrological Ages are contentious and disputed.

In 2000 Neil Spencer in his book "True as the Stars Above" expressed a similar opinion about the Astrological Ages. Spencer singles out the Astrological Ages as being "fuzzy", "speculative" and least defined area of astrological lore.^[3] Therefore a note of caution, claims about the Astrological Ages such as the Age of Aquarius should be taken with some scepticism, especially the urban myths widely propagated about the Age of Aquarius.

Though so many issues are contentious or disputed, there are two aspects of the Astrological Ages that have virtual unanimous consensus. Firstly the Astrological Ages are linked to precession of the equinoxes^[4]. Secondly that due to the nature of the precession of the equinoxes, the progression of the ages proceeds in reverse direction through the zodiacal signs^[5]. Normally during the course of the astrological year, commencing around the 21st March at the vernal equinox , the Sun moves through the zodiacal signs commencing with Aries, then Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and finally Pisces. After Pisces the Sun enters Aries and commences the cycle all over again. However the Astrological Ages proceed in the reverse direction. Therefore after the Age of Pisces, the next age is the Age of Aquarius, followed by the Age of Capricorn, and so on.

There is a third aspect of the Astrological Ages that has very wide consensus amongst astrologers. Though astrologers cannot agree upon the year, century or millennium for the start of any age, they generally agree upon the core historical events associated with the recent Ages since the start of the Holocene Epoch. For example the Age of Leo with massive global warming that resulted in the deglaciation of Earth at the end of the last Ice Age, Age of Cancer with domestication and the Biblical Flood (most likely a by-product of rising sea level from deglaciation),the Age of Gemini is associated with the invention of writing, the Age of Taurus with Ancient Egypt and its massive pyramids, the Aries age with the Iron Age and the Age of Pisces with Christianity. Astrologers claim that each zodiacal sign has associated archetypes often referred to traditionally as `rulerships'. For example Gemini `rules' the hands, dexterity and communication and draws upon all these archetypes to `produce' the first written word in the Age of Gemini, specifically in Sumer (Mesopotamia). The Holocene Epoch is a geologic period that extends from the present back about 10,000 radiocarbon years. ...

The term... Mesopotamia was a cradle of civilization geographically located between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, largely corresponding to modern-day Iraq. ...

Though almost total unanimity or wide consensus in the astrological community exists in the above three areas, everything else is contentious, disputed and a myriad array of alternative hypotheses, claims and approaches exists. For example many astrologers find ages too erratic based on either the vernal point moving through the randomly sized zodiacal constellations or sidereal zodiac and instead round all Astrological Ages to exactly 2000 years each. In this approach the ages are usually neatly aligned so that the Aries age is found from 2000 BC to 1 AD, Pisces age 1 AD to 2000 AD, the Aquarian age 2000 AD - 4000 AD and so on^[6].

Astrological ages occur because of a phenomenon known as the precession of the equinoxes. One complete period of this precession is called a Great Year or Platonic Year^[7] of about 25,920 years. The most popular method amongst researchers in this field is to divided the Great Year into twelve astrological ages of approximately equal lengths of approximately 2160 years per age based on the vernal equinox moving through the sidereal zodiac^[8] (alternatively many astrologers prefer to significantly vary the duration of each Astrological Age based on the passage of the vernal equinox measured against the actual zodiacal constellations)^[9]. Each of those twelve sections of the Great Year can be called either an Astrological Age, Precessional Age or a Great Month, the latter term more common in older texts.

Many astrologers consider the entrance into a new astrological age is not a single moment of time but a process commonly referred to as `the cusp' by which one age initiates its influences, in a slowly increasing way, before the end of the previous age. However there is no consensus on this point and there is no evidence of cusps in other branches of astrology except in the domain of urban myth. Basically those that follow the cusp approach believe that there is a merging of influence between each adjoining ages. Many astrologers believe that the world is currently on the cusp of the Pisces and Aquarian ages explaining why so many developments in the world today can be aligned to Pisces (i.e. continuing strong religious influences especially from Christianity) and Aquarius (traditional archetypes associated with Aquarius include electricity, computers, and democracy). A few astrologers consider the last ca. 10 degrees of a given age (ca. 720 years) as the time period during which the new age starts to make visible its influences, also called "Orb of influence". Urban Legend is also the name of a 1998 movie. ... For the astrological sign, see Pisces. ...

Some astrologers believe the changes upon Earth are caused and marked by the influences of the given astrological sign, associated with the Age, while other astrologers do not follow the causative model and believe it is a matter of synchronicity^[10]. A few astrologers also believe that each Age's influences is also complemented by the opposite sign to the sign ruling the Astrological Age. For example, the Age of Pisces (the Fish), vernal equinox, is complemented by its opposite astrological sign of Virgo (the Virgin); for this reason a few researchers refer to the Piscean age the the "Age of Pisces-Virgo."

Precessional movement as seen from 'outside' the celestial sphere. The rotation axis of the Earth describes over a period of about 25800 years a small circle (blue) among the stars, centred around the ecliptic northpole (blue E) and with an angular radius of about 23.4°: the angle known as the obliquity of the ecliptic. The orange axis was the Earth's rotation axis 5000 years ago when it pointed to the star Thuban. The yellow axis, pointing to Polaris is the situation now. Note that when the celestial sphere is seen from outside constellations appear in mirror image. Also note that the daily rotation of the Earth around its axis is opposite to the precessional rotation. When the polar axis precesses from one direction to another, then the equatorial plane of the Earth (indicated with the circular grid around the equator) and the associated celestial equator will move too. Where the celestial equator intersects the ecliptic (red line) there are the equinoxes. As seen from the drawing, the orange grid, 5000 years ago one intersection of equator and ecliptic, the vernal equinox was close to the star Aldebaran of Taurus. By now (the yellow grid) it has shifted (red arrow) to somewhere in the constellation of Pisces. Note that this is an astronomical description of the precessional movement and the vernal equinox position in a given constellation may not imply the astrological meaning of an Age carrying the same name, as they (ages and constellations) only have an exact alignment in the "first point of Aries", meaning once in each ca. 25800 (Great Sidereal Year).

The 19th/20th-century Indian yogi Swami Sri Yukteswar Giri, guru of Paramahansa Yogananda, related the Hindu Yugas to precession of the equinoxes. If this is the case then the western approach to the Astrological Ages does not monopolise precession of the equinoxes for astrological purposes.

Calculation aspects

The Earth, in addition to its diurnal (daily) rotation upon its axis, and annular rotation around the Sun, incurs a precessional motion involving a slow periodic shift of the axis itself: approximately one degree every 72 years. This motion, which is caused mostly by the Moon's gravity, gives rise to the precession of the equinoxes in which the Sun's position on the ecliptic at the time of the vernal equinox, measured against the background of fixed stars, gradually changes with time.

In graphical terms, the Earth behaves like a spinning top, and tops tend to wobble as they spin. The spin of the Earth is its daily (diurnal) rotation. The spinning Earth slowly wobbles over a period slightly less than 26,000 years. From our perspective on Earth, the stars are ever so slightly `moving' from West to East at the rate of one degree approximately every 72 years. One degree is about twice the diameter of the Sun or Moon as viewed from Earth. The easiest way to notice this slow movement of the stars is at any fixed time each year. The most common fixed time is at the vernal equinox around 21 March each year. This article is about Earth as a planet. ... This article is about Earth as a planet. ...

In astrology, an astrological age has usually been defined by the constellation or superimposed sidereal zodiac in which the Sun actually appears at the vernal equinox. This is the method that Hipparchus appears to have applied around 127 BCE when he calculated precession. Since each sign of the zodiac is composed of 30 degrees, each astrological age might be thought to last about 72 (years) × 30 (degrees) = about 2160 years. This means the Sun crosses the equator at the vernal equinox moving backwards against the fixed stars from one year to the next at the rate of one degree in seventy-two years, one constellation (on average) in about 2160 years, and the whole twelve signs in about 25,920 years, sometimes called a Platonic Year. However the length of the ages are decreasing with time as the rate of precession is increasing. Therefore no two ages are of equal length.

One approach by many current-day astrologers is to base their timeframes for the Ages based solely in the astronomical division of the irregular constellations. Based on this approach the Austrian astronomer Professor Hermann Haupt examined the question of when the Age of Aquarius begins in an article published in 1992 by the Austrian Academy of Science: with the German title Der Beginn des Wassermannzeitalters, eine astronomische Frage? (The Start of the Aquarian Age, an Astronomical Question?, (see below The Age of Aquarius). While this approach is very popular in the wider astrological community, amongst astrologers that actually research the Ages, and publish papers on their research, generally adopt the sidereal zodiac method whereby each age consists of 30 degrees each, and are not affected by the irregular zodiacal constellations. Astronomy, which etymologically means law of the stars, (from Greek: αστρονομία = άστρον + νόμος) is a science involving the observation and explanation of events occurring outside Earth and its atmosphere. ...

First Point of Aries Alignment - the Fiducial Point

Approximately every 26,000 the zodiacal constellations, the associated sidereal zodiac and the tropical zodiac used by western astrologers basically align. Technically this is when the tropical and sidereal "first point in Aries" (Aries 0°) coincided. This alignment is often called the fiducial point, and if the fiducial point could be found, fairly exact timeframes of all the Astrological Ages could be accurately determined (if the method used to determine the Astrological Ages is based on the equal-sized 30 degrees per age and do not correspond to the exact constellations configuration in the sky). However this fiducial point is difficult to determine because while there is no ambiguity about the tropical zodiac used by western astrologers, the same cannot be said of the sidereal zodiac used by Vedic astrologers. Vedic astrologers do not have unanimity on the exact location in space of their sidereal zodiac. This is due to the fact that the sidereal zodiac is superimposed upon the irregular zodiacal constellations, and there are no unambiguous boundaries of the zodiacal constellations. Modern day astronomers have defined boundaries, but this is a recent development by astronomers who are divorced from astrology, and cannot be assumed to be correct from the astrological perspective. While most astronomers and some astrologers agree that the fiducial point occurred in or around the 3rd to 5th centuries AD, there is no consensus on any exact date or tight timeframe within these three centuries. A number of dates are proposed by various astronomers and even wider timeframes by astrologers.

For example, in Max Heindel's astrology writings,^[11] it is described that last time the starting-point of the sidereal zodiac agreed with the tropical zodiac occurred in 498. A year after these points were in exact agreement, the Sun crossed the equator about fifty seconds of space into the constellation Pisces. The year following it was one minute and forty seconds into Pisces, and so it has been creeping backwards ever since, until at the present time the Sun crosses the equator in about nine degrees in the constellation Pisces. Based on this approach, it will thus be about 600 years before it actually crosses the celestial equator in the constellation Aquarius. However this is only one of many approaches and so this must remain speculation at this point of time.

Overview Historical similarities The major event at this time was an ancient global warming to such a massive extent that it led to the deglaciation of what now constitutes much of the modern inhabitable world. The deglaciation ultimately caused a 300 feet (90 meters) rise in the sea level. The sign Leo is a Fire sign and is traditionally ruled by the Sun in astrology, and it is entirely appropriate that in an Age ruled by the Sun, that the warmth of the Sun melted the glaciers that covered much of North America and Europe. Leo is also related to any kind of light source, and the carved stone oil lamp was invented during this time. (Oil lamps existed previously, but this type was the first proper continuously-burning lamp.)

Overview "The Age of the Great Mother." Cancer is ruled by the Moon, & is associated with the process of bearing, birthing, nurturing, & protecting.
Historical similarities The Neolithic Revolution, including the beginning of civilisation, with domestication of farm animals including pigs, goats & even bees. Some nomadic people settled down to living in permanent dwellings. For example, the city of Jericho, believed constructed during this age, was protected by a wall 12-17 ft (4 to 5 m) high & 5 ft (1.5 m) thick. (Cancer is always associated with 'protection' by utilizing an external barrier). There is also evidence of massive loss of coastal regions by the rising sea level following deglaciation of many areas on Earth. This loss of land caused the forced relocation of people to higher ground. Cancer's list of archetypes always include anything to do with the home (including houses, place of residence, migration).

Religious similarities The Age of Aries ushered in efforts to replace polytheism with monotheism. The earliest known attempt was by the Egyptian Pharoah Akhenaten, who, in about 1350 BC, decreed the Sun God Aten to be the supreme deity, apparently in reaction to his earlier lack of inclusion in religious rites by his family. After his death, however, power reverted to the original polytheistic priests, who re-established the old religion. Speculation (including that of Freud) has it that later, during the reign of Ramesses II, Moses was influenced by rumour of Akhenaten's revolutionary idea, and grasped the idea of a single supreme God, Who especially favoured His people, as an inspirational mechanism that best suited his people held in bondage.

Jesus was reported, in Matthew 4:19, as saying to two fishermen brothers, (Simon called Peter, and Andrew) on the shore of Lake Galilee, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men" - a tradition that the Christian Church has continued even to today. These two fishermen parallel the two fish in the symbol of Pisces. In the Book of Luke when Jesus is asked by Peter and John "where wilt thou that we prepare?" concerning the place of dining for the last supper , Jesus says to follow a man "bearing a pitcher of water" into the house he enters. A man bearing a pitcher of water symbolizes the coming of the Age of Aquarius and is known as "the water bearer". In Astrology, the Age of Aquarius comes directly after the Age of Pisces.

(The Start of the Aquarian Age, an Astronomical Question?). Based on the boundaries accepted by IAU in 1928, Haupt's article investigates the start of the Age of Aquarius by calculating the entry of the spring equinox point over the parallel cycle (d = - 4°) between the constellations Pisces and Aquarius and reaches, using the usual formula of precession (Gliese, 1982), the year 2595. However Haupt concludes:

New, Alternative & Fringe Theories

Due to the lack of consensus of almost all aspects of the Astrological Ages, except for the Astrological Ages relationship to precession of the equinoxes and the retrograde order of the Astrological Ages, there are more alternative, esoteric, innovative, fringe and newly expressed ideas about the Astrological Ages probably than any other branch of astrology.

The Astrological Ages based on Esoteric Christian and Gnostic Esoteric Teachings

The Age of Leo-Aquarius marks the end of the Atlantean Epoch. The Atlanteans are said to have inhabited the basins covered by a dense, drenching fog (i.e. what is currently know as the Atlantic oceanic basin) which condensed into rain and flooded the basis of the Earth (recorded in all major cultures as the myth of the Great Flood).
The Age of Cancer-Capricorn marks the beginning of the Aryan Epoch. The Aryans are said to have been driven by the flood from the mists, which had enveloped Atlantis and condensed into rain, to the hilltops [the goat climbs the mountains] where they are now living. For the first time having a clear atmosphere in which the Rainbow, at the beginning of a new Epoch, marks a New Covenant made with the pioneers.
This Age also relates to mankind's recapitulation of the early third of the Atlantean period (a period which was intensely watery as the whole earth was covered by a dense, drenching fog. The Niebelung, or "Children of the Mist," lived then in the basins of the Earth).
The Age of Gemini-Sagittarius relates to the infant humanity recapitulation of the middle third of the Atlantean period (at that time the atmosphere had already cleared to a considerable extent, and the faculties of the spirit had become more focused in its physical instrument).
The Age of Taurus-Scorpio relates to mankind's recapitulation of the late third of the Atlantean period.
The Age of Aquarius-Leo According to the Esoteric Christian-Gnostic tradition, Essenian and later Rosicrucian, the proximity and entrance in the Age of Aquarius - occurring after the present Age of Pisces (or age ruled by the "Sword") - will bring to the majority of human beings the discovery, true living and real knowledge of the inner and deeper Christian teachings which the Christ spoke of in Matthew 13:11 and Luke 8:10. This age is regarded as an intermediary preparation toward the Christ in the etheric plane, the New Galilee: the "new heavens and a new earth" to come in a future not identified time. For Rosicrucians, in the Aquarian age at hand, it is expected a great spiritual Teacher will come ("is coming"), through the school (working as herald of this age), in order "to give the Christian Religion impetus in a new direction".^[20] In fashion then as of a snow-white rose Displayed itself to me the saintly host, Whom Christ in his own blood had made his bride - The Divine Comedy, Paradiso, Canto XXXI â€œEsoteric Christianityâ€ is a term which refers to an ensemble of spiritual currents which regard Christianity as a...

Mark 14:13 (also Luke 22:10) states "And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him.". The disciples do so and follow him to the place where Jesus was to hold the Last Supper. Therefore, this could be interpreted as meaning that Jesus (who represents the age of Pisces) will "die" when the "man bearing a pitcher of water" appears,^[21] an apparent allusion to the coming age of Aquarius. For other uses, see The Last Supper (disambiguation). ...

The two disciples themselves could be accepted by some as the representation of "Elijah and Moses" the two Messengers to the Jews who will teach Christ to the Jews (Revelation 11:4, Zacheriah 4:11 the two olive trees). This can be supported by the fact that in Other gospels (Mathew and John) do not have the two disciples following the man with the pitcher but going to untie the colt with which Christ made the triumphant entry into Jerusalem (Mathew 21:5) . The colt represents the Jewish nation who will be untied from slavery of the law and talmud by the two Prophets. The Messiah or Son of David will return according to bible prophecy riding on a white horse (which represents the delivered Jewish nation) to rule from Jerusalem in the second triumphant entry. The Jews will serve in the Holy temple. The son of David will return as the Lion of Judah which actually symbolizes the Aquarius-Leo constellation. There are some (astrologers included) who believe that the water carrier was represented by the ministry of William Marrion Branham, who was said to have been born under an astrological sign in 1906 April the 6th. In what he preached as the beginning of the end starting from 1963 (with the opening of the seven seals) Branham said it was the "blending of time and eternity" or the dawning of the millennium (1000 years of peace in which Christ will rule the Earth).

Some see coming climactic changes, i.e. rising sea levels as a result of global warming as well as changes in predominant weather patterns, as being indicative of the age of the "water bearer." These changes are said to include to the rise of the earth's vibrations, with the correspondent rise of the temperature (heat), to levels currently unbearable by human beings. Similar to the occurrence in the Age of Leo-Aquarius of the previous Great Year (see above), the coming Age of Aquarius-Leo will also mark the end of the current Aryan Epoch, according to the Christian esoteric teachings; it is said that the citizens of the future Epoch will leave the current hilltops to inhabit the air: the Earth at that time will be so etherealized that actually there will be "no more sea."^[22] Look up aether, ether in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ...

The Lakota, a Native American people, also describe that a great spiritual Teacher, called White Buffalo Calf Pipe Woman, is coming with the purpose to unite the material and spiritual worlds. Their legend mentions that in a far past, possibly in the beginning of the Age of Aries, a Teacher had come to initiate them into the "Pipe Ceremony"; the same story mentions that this Teacher is returning again due to specific signs related to their tradition, among them the fact that white buffalo calves are born again.^[23] Image File history File links HopiWomensDance. ...

The Hopi, a Native American people, also describe that a great spiritual Teacher, known as the 'Elder Brother' or 'True White Brother', is coming as the "Rising Sun" to reunite the world's two streams separated in a far past (to rejoin the "stone tablets"). The Hopi have a complex and comprehensive view of the history and evolution of mankind, derived from oral tradition, and tend also to see history and evolution as cyclical (although this process is also conceived as a spiral process into higher stages of unfoldment). The True White Brother is expected to come after the two great wars, in order to inaugurate the future age: the "Day of Purification". The symbolism described to be related to this event is as following: "this third event will depend upon the Red Symbol, which will take command, setting the four forces of nature (Meha) in motion for the benefit of the Sun."^[24] Moki redirects here. ...

Gnostics, Rosicrucians and Ancient Mysteries Hierarchies Gnosticism (Greek: gnÅsis, knowledge) refers to a diverse, syncretistic religious movement consisting of various belief systems generally united in the teaching that humans are divine souls trapped in a material world created by an imperfect spirit, the demiurge, who is frequently identified with the Abrahamic God. ...

As a common fountain, perhaps to clarify these concepts, there is a shared belief in the NWO (New World Order) movement, by some Gnostics, Rosicrucians and Ancient Mysteries hierarchies that the "New Age of Aquarius" is marked in the beginning by that time in the future before the Final Judgment when the "Great Work", declared in Freemasonry philosophy, will finally be completed, and the NWO comes to fruition (One World Government, Religion and Society ruled by the Elite, or "Illuminati"). Those adherents believe that the False Christ of "Orthodox", or mainstream, Christianity (in reality AntiChrist) will be defeated in the Battle Of Armageddon (and hence supplanted in human collective unconsciousness) by their "Inner Christ" saviour, which Christians call the Christ consciousness. This "Christ Consciousness", they believe, comes into play when Mankind realizes that the Lord Jesus Christ came as a literal example of Godhood, and that all men could become what He became. The Age of Aquarius, or water-bearer, in their opinion, marks the time when the collective consciousness of Mankind will be elevated and the esoteric knowledge of God will be made available to all humankind. Then and only then, according to that belief, the new "Golden Age of Aquarius" will begin anew, and the "New Heaven and New Earth" will begin. Such believers consider themselves to be Christian, asserting that Jesus Christ's teachings were Essene and/or Gnostic, but were distorted in transmission by unscrupulous or misguided priests during the following centuries. Orthodox Christians, on the other hand, maintain that Jesus' words and meaning have been diligently transmitted to us by the orthodox Christian churches, and consider such Gnostic views as Antichristian, promoted by Satan (described by Paul as "the god of this world" - 2 Cor. 4:4), in Satan's battle for control of humankind (see Satan).

Orb of Influence

The entrance into a new Astrological Age is not considered to be a single moment of time but a process by which one age initiates its influences, in a slowly increasing way, before the end of the previous age. Due to this reason, some astrologers consider the last ca. 10 degrees of a given age (ca. 720 years) as the time period during which the new age starts to make visible its influences, also called "Orb of influence". The Orb of Influence should not be confused with the "decanate", although they often describe the same section of Zodiac. The Orb is the distance from any point or planetary aspect in the Zodiac through which the influence operates, similar to a margin of error or uncertainty. A decanate is a band of any Sign of the Zodiac, which is overlaid by the influence of the next sequential Sign of the same element. For example, the 1st decanate of Libra (0 to 10 degrees) is Libra overlaying Libra, the 2nd decanate of Libra is Aquarius overlaying Libra, and the 3rd decanate of Libra is Gemini overlaying Libra. The decanate process shows how each Sign grows gradually towards a more progressed expression along its 30 degree length, whereas the orb involves, in this case, the gradual fading from one Sign into the next Sign.

Ages are believed by some to affect mankind. For Aquarius (also called "the Water bearer"), it is reported we have already been feeling influences - titled Orb of influence (the last ten degrees backwards of the Age of Pisces) - in the accelerated individual, social, cultural, scientific and technological development and globalization through the 20th century. This view is consistent with the popular notion of the New Age movement that regards current times as the "dawning of the Aquarian Age".

On the other hand, the Aquarian Age is thought to bring with it an era of universal brotherhood rooted in reason where it will be possible to solve social problems in a manner equitable to all and with greater opportunity for intellectual and spiritual improvement, since Aquarius is an airy, scientific, and intellectual sign and its ruler planet, Uranus, is associated with intuition (insight above reason) and direct perceptions of the heart; and on the mundane level it rules electricity and technology.

Aquarius and the Great Floods

Greek mythology knows three floods. Among them, the Ogygian ("primeval", "primal", "earliest dawn") flood covered the whole world and was so devastating that the country remained without kings until the reign of Cecrops^[25]. Plato in his Laws, Book III, estimates that this flood occurred 10,000 years before his time. Also in Timaeus (22) and in Critias (111-112) he describes the "great deluge of all" during the 10th millennium BC. In addition, the texts report that "many great deluges have taken place during the nine thousand years" since Athens and Atlantis were preeminent^[26]. The theory of the flood in the Aegean Basin, proposed that a great flood occurred towards the end of the Pleistocene. This flood coincides with the end of the last ice age, estimated approximately 10,000 years ago, when the sea level has risen as much as 130 metres. The map on the right shows how the region would look 12,000 years ago, when the sea level would be 100 meters lower than today.

Was the Great Sphinx Constructed in the Age of Leo?

According to the Orion Correlation Theory the Great Sphinx stood as a guardian of the Giza Plateau, where it faced the rising sun. It was the focus of solar worship in the Old Kingdom, centered in the adjoining temples built around the time of its probable construction. Its animal form, the lion, has long been a symbol associated with the sun in ancient Near Eastern civilizations. Images depicting the Egyptian king in the form of a lion smiting his enemies appear as far back as the Early Dynastic Period of Egypt. During the New Kingdom, the Sphinx became more specifically associated with the god Hor-em-akhet (Greek Harmachis) or Horus at the Horizon, which represented the Pharaoh in his role as the Shesep ankh of Atum (living image of Atum). A temple was built to the northeast of the Sphinx by King Amenhotep II, nearly a thousand years after its construction, dedicated to the cult of Horemakhet.
