Dear LexiLiners,

New Decipherments of two rock drawings in Northumberland from the
Weetwood Lillburn region have been uploaded to the LexiLine files.
The two rock drawings are right next to each other at the site
location and "mesh" perfectly in terms of astronomy.

The gifs and tifs are the identical expect for quality, where the

Of course, the above decipherments fit into perfectly into the
entire system of ancient astronmical geodetcs presented at my sites
for my decipherment of the megaliths at:

http://www.megaliths.co.uk
http://www.megaliths.net and
http://www.megaliths.de

Why so many sites? Well, it was not any more expensive since the
hosters here in Germany sell reasonable package deals which allow
you to have 10 sites. I hope to have a full German version
(megaliths.de) ultimately, whereas megaliths.net is intended for a
more interactive site on megaliths (this will take time to develop),
so that megaliths.co.uk is regarded as the primary site for
publication of results.

16 LexiLine Newsletter 2002
Northumberland Rock Drawings Deciphered

Dear LexiLiners,

The number of newsletters has dropped, but there is good reason.
LexiLine.com has now been completely revised and updated and I draw
particular attention to the page
http://www.lexiline.com/lexiline/lexi760.htm
which presents what I consider to be the most accurate ancient
chronology of the ancient world yet produced, based in large part on
astronomical calibration of ancient landmark dates.

This chronology should not be regarded as infallible, and small
corrections will surely be made in future time, but I will allege
here that the other chronologies out there, especially those of
mainstream scholars, are far more off the mark and are based on
spurious, far less reliable evidence.

Also check out
http://www.lexiline.com/lexiline/lexikwik.htm
which gives you a quick overview of the major pages.

More material on the megaliths is soon forthcoming.

Enjoy

Dear LexiLiners,

On my PC, the Quick Time viewer works only if I have ONLY the
standing image files MIME option checked at installation and no
others. If you get a small film icon on your screen after clicking
on one of the .tif files at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/LexiLine/
then right click on that symbol and change your MIME settings by
UNclicking everything else. The film icon means Quicktime has looked
for a film under the clicked file and has found none. Theoretically,
Quicktime should automatically recognize the difference, but not on
my computer.

Once you make the change, if necessary, you may have to restart your
computer before the settings become effective. If you have problems,
reinstall Quicktime and select only the standing image files MIME
option. There is another non-MIME option offered but DO NOT
affiliate Quicktime files with anything else other than MAC files.
Otherwise Quicktime will become the default program for opening your
various graphics files (.jpg, .bmp, .gif, etc.) on your computer and
you do not want that, unless you have a MAC.

However, even if you set the Quicktime MIME option to read standing
image files on the internet, your .tif files on your computer for
your graphics programs will still be opened by your normal graphics
program and not by Quicktime.

Dear LexiLiners,

With apologies to Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak,

Of course, Adobe has Acrobat Reader

but Quick Time is an Apple Product which
you can download from the following EXACT page

http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/

Andis

Dear LexiLiners,

Some of our files are in .gif format and som in .tif format.
I prefer the .tif format because of its superb quality.
I have just discovered that you apparently need
Quick Time Player 5 or better to open LexiLine .tif files.
I presumed everyone was able to open the files without difficulty.

If you click on a .tif file in our files and see nothing or an X
instead of the awaited picture, you should download the free Quick
Time 5 Player from http://www.adobe.com.

I see they now have a Quick Time version 6 for the public which you
can also download, but this expires in October, 2002, so you may
want to be sure you install the sure thing free Quick Time 5 before
you go the optional 6, for which you will have to pay later.

14 LexiLine Newsletter 2002 MUL.APIN Corrected
It was not intentional, but "a number of fortune" was left out.

Dear LexiLiners, in the course of "shaping up" Lexiline.com for
uniformity, and due to knowledge gained from my recent decipherment
of the megaliths, I have been able to revise and correct the MUL.APIN
readings by Papke, Hunger and Pingree, which I had put on my site
earlier with explanations on my part, but few changes.

Due to the fact that I have identified the Path of En.Lil as the path
of the stars WITHIN the ring of the Milky Way - as we already saw for
the Ermitage Planisphere, and it is incredible that not even I saw
this before - it has been possible to resolve the critical issue of
the identification of the Babylonian star KAK.SI.SA which Hunger and
Pingree claim to be Sirius - this is impossible, since it lies
OUTSIDE the Milky Way. But similarly, Papke's identification of
Procyon as KAK.SI.SA as Procyon does not hold water, though it is
more correct, when one uses a precessional planishere and matches
the stars to heliacal risings and settings as listed in the cuneiform
tablets.

Using such a planisphere by Heifetz it is possible to identify the
Lance Star in question as having a shaft of Monoceros and the tip of
the lance is the star Alphard in Hydra, sticking into Hydra. Armed
with this knowledge it was possible to identify ALL the stars of
MUL.APIN, many of which have either remained unidentifed by Papke,
Hunger and Pingree or have been falsely identified.

You will find the corrected decipherment for MUL.APIN starting at

12 LexiLine Newsletter 2002 Moselle Rock Carvings and LexiLine.com

Dear LexiLiners,

I work 18 hours a day but there is never enough time for everything I
need and want to do. Perhaps your life is similar.

Currently, I am updating the Lexiline.com pages to a uniform
standard, while at the same time working on the megalithic materials.

Among other things, to my great astonishment, several months ago I
discovered gigantic bird carvings on the sides of the slopes of the
Moselle River Valley - right where I live. I have been looking at
these slopes for years and had never seen a thing. But just as the
hills turned green this spring, the funny shape of the way the
vineyards are cut here caught my attention. Sure enough - there were
more such figures all the way down the River from Traben-Trarbach
nearly to Enkirch. These carvings are out of solid stone (the stone
here is slate and fairly easy to work). Now vineyards grow on these
already crumbled surfaces. These rock carvings must date back at
least 5000 years. Recall - the Magdalenians lived near here and we
have numerous megalithic sites in the area. More later.

Andis

Dear LexiLiners,

To present the megalithic materials
I have not only registered the domain
http://www.megaliths.net,
but also the domain
http://www.megaliths.de
for the German-language version

Moreover, I have also registered
http://www.megaliths.co.uk
for Ancient Britain. I was quite amazed to find this domain free and
am quite pleased that I got it since it perfectly describes the
subject matter covered.

Megaliths.Net and Megaliths.co.uk will not be identical as you can
see already from the difference in sitemaps at both. I am working on
all the pages, but it is a gargantuan task which has reduced the
number of newsletters you have recently received. There is much new
material available from some recent journeys, but I just have not
gotten around to scanning the photos ... yet.

Enjoy,
Andis

Dear LexiLiners,

The megalithic decipherments posted first to LexiLine are now being
posted to new websites which I have registered.

The major site is

Megaliths.Net

at
http://www.megaliths.net

Thus far only two pages have been uploaded to that website
1) the main index page which is accessed initially
and
2) the ancientworld.htm "map page" which allows clicking of a map to
get to particular regions and which will serve as the default page
for "ancient world" megalithic searches....

In coming months, I will continuously be posting new megalithic pages
to megaliths.net.

I have thanked you all at the index page of megaliths.net....

But of course, the LexiLine list will also continue....


Enjoy,
Andis

Clava Deciphered - Ancient "Linear" Astronomy - 8 Seasons
9 LexiLine Newsletter 2002

Dear LexiLiners,

Due to my decipherment of other sites, I have been able to review my
previous interpretation of  the cairns at Balnuaran of Clava near
Inverness of Scotland and decipher these definitively. My initial
interpretation of this site was not incorrect but needed amendment,
since it became clear that the ancients used stars much nearer to the
Pole than I had initially thought.

This decipherment is now found in the Ancient Britain folder as the
file

clavamap.tif

(the previous file of the same name, as well as a recently posted
amended version have both been deleted).

Time and time again I am taught the lesson in my decipherments that
SIMPLICITY is the key to knowledge and understanding of the Neolithic
period of astronomy.

The new uploaded file shows that the ancients in 3117 BC calculated
the Pole Star position and the North Ecliptic Pole (the non-moving
Center of Heaven around which precession rotates and the
ecliptic "circulates") using the three brightest stars which are in
the skies on or near the circle of precession - these brightest stars
are Polaris in Ursa Minor, Deneb in Cygnus and Vega in Lyra. There
are no more.

The decipherment shows that the linear distance
between Polaris and Deneb
and between the Pole Star and Vega
in 3117 BC (otherwise not),
is THE SAME as the linear distance between
a) the South Pole and alpha in the Southern Triangle
b) alpha in the Southern Triangle and the head stars of Scorpio
(Graffias, Dschubba)
c) Graffias or Dschubba  the head of Serpens Caput
d) the head of Serpens Caput and the North Pole Star position at 3117
BC - at all other times, this distance does not work for the distance
between Serpens Caput and the North Pole Star. This again gives us
another proof for the accuracy of the chronology.

On the Heifetz Planisphere, this linear distance is
2.8 centimeters.
In the software program Starry Night Pro, using the normal non-zoomed
display, this distance on the screen can be measured as
ca.
13 centimeters
with the distances between Vega and Deneb and the Pole Star and
Polaris in 3117 BC being half that at
6.5 centimeters.

This linear distance was then also used to divide the stars along the
ecliptic into their initial "seasonal positions" and was the origin
of what we today call the Zodiac of stars - which runs along the
ecliptic. Using this linear distance of 13 centimeters and marking
divisions on the ECLIPTIC we then get the following 8 segments -
perhaps the first formal human division of the ecliptic in this
manner.

1) AUTUMN EQUINOX
From Antares (viz. Dschubba & Graffias) Scorpio at the AUTUMN EQUINOX
to Spica (Virgo)
2) From Spica in Virgo to Zosma (Duhr) and Chort in Leo at the SUMMER
SOLSTICE

3) SUMMER SOLSTICE
From Zosma and Chort in Leo at the SUMMER SOLSTICE to Castor and
Pollux in GEMINI
4) From Castor and Pollux in GEMINI to the VERNAL EQUINOX at
Aldebaran in Taurus

VERNAL EQUINOX
5) From  Aldebaran at the Vernal Equinox to the "cord of the fish"
(this explains how this "cord" originated and where it was originally
placed) at beta-Andromeda and eta-Piscum
6) from the Cord of the Fish to the WINTER SOLSTICE at the bucket of
Aquarius just to the left of the prow of the ship of Capricorn

WINTER SOLSTICE
7) From the Winter Solstice at Aquarius and Capricorn to the large
number of  stars of Sagittarius at Nunki (sigma-Sagittarii), Kaus
Borealis (lambda-Sagittarii) and Kaus Australis (epsilon-Sagittarii).
8) From sigma-Sagittarii to Scorpio at Graffias viz Dschubba at the
AUTUMN EQUINOX.

Thus, the same "linear distance" was used to mark 8 divisions along
the ecliptic as was used to measure the sky and earth from south pole
to north pole and also to calculate pole stars and ecliptic poles, as
at Balnuaran of Clava. These ancient men were ASTRONOMERS of the
first rank..

We have evidence of this very old initial division of the heavens in
the ancient Latvian 8 seasons and also find the similar practice in
ancient Scotland, where a similar division of 8 seasons is found.

Planisphere to Print Out
8 LexiLine Newsletter 2002

Dear LexiLiners, old and new or pending members, and guests,

The newly created folder AKskymap in our FILES (click the menu left)
will be used for skymaps helping to explain the FILES at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/LexiLine/files
which explain the world megaliths definitively as astronomy.
(I pick the beginning "AK" in akskymap.tif so that this folder
appears first in our automatically alphabeticized list of FILES for
old or new members or guests).

Uploaded to this file for important orientation is now:

akskymap.tif

showing the stars of the heavens, celestial equator, ecliptic and
equinox line for ca. 3000 BC (at 30 degrees North)
for you to print out at home in color.
Details further below.

Many LexiLine Newsletters can only be understood if one has a good
historical planisphere or software program at hand, which not
everyone has right offhand.

The best software program available at an affordable price is Starry
Night Pro, see
http://www.starrynight.com
or also Starry Night Backyard, which costs less, with fewer features.
I use this program regularly.
I am in no way affiliated with this company.

Less expensive but just as useful is Milton D. Heifetz's Historical
Planisphere with Precession of the Equinoxes which I use regularly.
The Heifetz Planisphere is available from Learning Technologies,
inc., 40 Cameron Avenue, Somerville, MA, 02144 USA, internet at
http://www.starlab.com, e-mail at starlab@..., phone at 800-
537-8703, 617-628-1459, and fax 617-628-8606. I am in no way
affiliated with this company.

The file
akskymap.tif
is a file I have drawn, in color but only as an approximation of the
Heifetz Planisphere, and I recommend you do get the original.
However, my drawing - the file is 50 kB compressed and nearly 650 kB
uncompressed, so give it some time to load and print - gives you the
major stars and constellations of the heavens in their positions with
respect to the celestial equator, ecliptic and equinoxes in 3000 BC.

The center of heaven (for us in the Northern Hemisphere) - the North
Ecliptic Pole - is the small red-circumferenced green circle in the
middle of the drawing. The correspondingly colored large green circle
around it is the ECLIPTIC - we could also call this the "path of the
Sun" (and also of the planets and Moon, thought they do diverge from
it a bit in their movement). The ECLIPTIC is fixed and DOES NOT
CHANGE.

What has given the ancients over the millennia a great deal of
trouble is the CELESTIAL EQUATOR which is marked on akskymap.tif as a
large orange circle with a red-circumferenced orange circle in its
middle. THIS CIRCLE DOES appear to move its position for an observer
on Earth, because the Planet Earth wobbles like a spinning top and
its AXIS revolves around the red-dotted-line circle in the drawing
ONCE every 25920 years - which astronomers call precession.

As the red-circumferenced orange circle in the middle of the drawing
rotates counter-clockwise in 25920 years, it marks what we call the
Northern Pole Star, which is currently ca. Polaris - marked as a red-
circumferenced yellow circle on the red-dotted-line. In 3000 BC,
however, the position of the Northern Pole Star was at the red-
circumferenced orange circle in the middle. The pole star is always
at the middle of the orange circle marking the celestial equator, so
that this orange circle "moves" as the pole star moves. Hence, the
points at which the celestial equator and ecliptic intersect - these
points mark the Equinoxes - also move, and the solstices also move
correspondingly.

I have drawn the Line of the Equinoxes 3000 BC as well as the Line of
the Equinoxes 2002 AD on that drawing. Anyone can see how precession
affects the seasons. In 3000 BC the Spring Equinox was just to the
right of Orion. In our modern age the Spring Equinox is approaching
Aquarius (counter-clockwise) This is what the song in the
musical "Hair" some 30 years ago was proclaiming as "the Dawn of the
Age of Aquarius". Mankind, however, still has some time to wait
before this happens.

Mainstream historians of astronomy today allege that the ancients
were not familiar with precession - and this only shows that our
modern historians of astronomy know next to nothing about the ancient
skywatchers. On the pages of LexiLine we have been and will continue
to produce evidence that the ancients have been quite familiar with
this phenomenon for thousands and thousands of years and that the
ancient Norse belief that "the sky was falling" is based on this
knowledge. Indeed, the need to account for precession (i.e. to
correctly predict the seasons and establish a workable calendar)
clearly was one major factor which led to the serious study of
astronomy by the ancients and to the megalithic sites which we study
today.

The line of the Equinoxes ca. 3000 BC shows why the ancients of that
period, for example, as I have already posted to LexiLine, regarded
the otherwise insignificant constellation of Serpens Caput to be so
important. It was directly on the Equinox Line. Today, we pay little
attention to this constellation.

Make sure you also always look at the Milky Way in your astronomical
analysis, for the ancient paid far more attention to the Milky Way
than we do today in our artificially lighted planet, whose man-made
lights and pollution are increasingly blotting out our heavens. The
horn of the Milky Way at Cepheus can clearly be seen and only when
one actually sees this position can one understand the megaliths of
e.g. Scotland which mark this constellation.

As a special treat, I have also tried in my drawing to make the major
stars of the heavens have the color in which they appear, even to the
unaided eye, and which the ancients noted carefully, in part using
megaliths of a comparable color to mark a given star, as the case of
the "Red Goddess" (die Rote Göttin) in Traben-Trarbach (Mont Royal)
which is a red-orange colored stone used to mark Dubhe, the only
large red-orange-yellow star in Ursa Major. Especially the reddish or
orange stars were given excessive attention by the skywatchers of
old. Perhaps they regarded these stars to be particularly powerful.
This surely was so for two of the major "red" stars of the heavens,
Antares and Aldebaran, which are more or less directly across from
each other near the line of the Equinoxes in ca. 3000 BC.

Once one gets the feel for the heavens in this perspective, the
astronomy of the ancients becomes more understandable. I thus
recommend you to print this drawing out for further use, but also to
get the software and the planisphere listed above. It is OUR world,
and we have no other, so we ought to know the basics about this one,
both past and present.

Enjoy,
Andis

7 LexiLine Newsletter 2002 Felsenmeer Bergstrasse Odenwald Germany

Dear LexiLiners,

I have just uploaded the file

felsmeer.tif

to our folder Ancient Planispheres / Ancient Germany
showing that this fantastic site of thousands of giant stones
is not grouped in "natural" heaps as the geologists allege,
but are "natural" stones from that large steep semi-mountainous hill
which have been rolled, carried or lowered by ropes purposefully down
that hill into various heaps of stones  by the ancients, thus
creating the pattern of stones which you see in the felsmeer.tif.

The stone groups shown on my drawing by the way are not my inventions
or interpretations but merely my re-drawing of a photo of the plan of
the Felsberg ("stone hill viz. mountain") and the Felsenmeer ("sea of
stones") which stands as a large billboard for all to see above the
stones at the top of the hill (semi-mountain). It was created by
the "Verein Naturpark Bergstrasse - Odenwald", whom I wish to thank
profusely for this gargantuan task. I will be posting a photo of this
billboard sign.

But this is not all. I have also re-drawn the pathways on this steep
mountain hill (as shown on the billboard sign) which apparently
follow the old tracks through the stones. The hill is so steep that
there are not that many alternative tracks, so any track through
these stones now is as good as that 6000 years ago, and if you look
at the felsmeer.tif, you may see some of the tell-tale figures marked
by these pathways. I will be uploading another .tif in coming days
showing those human and animal figures. In ca. 3800 BC, for example,
the Summer Solstice is at Gemini. Can you find the figures of the
largely drawn twins in the pathways?

Furthermore, I have taken photographs of some of the largest
gargantuan stones at the top of the hill which of course were not all
rolled into place, since some of them are as big as small houses and
are not even counted to the stone heaps, but from my photos the
analysis of the Felsenmeer will be confirmed, for these Herculean-
size stones, not just those in the large heaps, are also carved and
sculpted and show stars of the sky of the heavens.

In fact, the Felsenmeer is unique for having over 300 stones which
have been recognized by experts as having been "worked" by human hand
but which the archaeologists have erroneously placed in the Roman
period, regarding them as "partially worked stones" which were left
in place (often in impossible locations!) due to an error in the
stone or faulty workmanship on them. That would be a world record -
over 300 gigantic stones partially worked by hand and left for faulty
workmanship, often in locations where transport would be a super-
human task?? in Germany? No, certainly not sloppy workmanship in
Germany. There are clearly a couple of stones there from the Roman
period (one column, e.g.) but the rest - are nearly 4000 years older
and there is no fault or flaw on them, as we shall see. The ancients
worked these stones into various forms corresponding to the stars and
constellations of the heavens and left them in situ (in place where
they stood) for later generations to appreciate. And we have finally
arrived.

I have some great photos of these stones and these too will
ultimately be uploaded, so there are still great things coming.

The Felsenmeer - in the German geodetic survey which I have
deciphered and will soon also be explaining in these pages -
represented the position of the Pleiades, which were sort of a
germination platform for the stars in ancient belief, so that these
stones in the Felsenmeer are a conceptual symbolic fertilization for
the stars of the heavens.

In working on the German geodetic system, by the way, I was recently
at the Gollenstein (The Gollen Stone) in Blieskastel near the south
border to France and Luxembourg (near Saarbrücken). This stone is 7
meters 60 (6 meters 60 cm of that is above ground). It is the tallest
megalith in all of middle Europe. I will be showing how the
Gollenstein is an ancient representation of the largest
constellation, Hydra, this being the reason for the enormous size of
this megalith. There will be more interesting things from that site.

Speaking of unexpected wonders,
not the least of my recent discoveries is the reddish-orange megalith
called the "Red Goddess" (die Rote Göttin) from Traben-Trarbach, a
stone from this very same village in which I live, which was moved
some years ago from its original location and now stands in a private
garden and which the locals brought to my attention. The stone has
been badly misinterpreted and it too marks a major position in the
German geodetic system. Does the nearby village of Ürzig (Uerzig)
have something to do with URSA? You bet. Ursa Major.

The ancient Arabic name for the star alpha-Ursa Major was Thahr-al-
Dubb, and this is surely Traben viz. Trar(bach). The term Traben may
be neo-Roman and may go back to the German term Traube/n) "grape(s)".
But then again, perhaps all are somehow related,
for the grapes here are white and mature when overripe to a lush
orange, like the color of the star Thahr-al-Dubb. It is said the
Romans brought grapes to the Moselle Valley, but this may not be
true. Perhaps wild grapes were here even before the Romans, who
cultivated them, which is a different matter, but wild grapes were
widely distributed in ancient days.

The "Red Goddess" is so called because the entire stone looks like
the head of Lewis Carroll's "Red Queen". As I shall be uploading -
this 1 and 1/2 meter megalith clearly has the Big Dipper, including a
handle in relief, inscribed in large size right on the front of it.
It is quite easy to see. Inscribed above it - actually both are
sideways - and equally easy to see is Ursa Minor as an axe-head and
handle. No one was more amazed about this than I myself to whom the
phrase, the grass is always greener, often applies. And here was this
fantastic find, right in my own back yard. This is probably the
reason that the mountain hill at the base of which Traben is found is
called by the neo-French name Mont Royal, which in German is
Königsberg, King's Mountain or Royal Mountain.The vineyards here are
called WÜRZ-Garten, i.e. URSA's garden. Trarbach is below
Schlossberg, the castle mountain.

How do I know the star here in my home town is specifically alpha-
Ursa-Major, apart from a large hole in the correct position on the
megalith? Of the seven major stars of Ursa Major, six are hot WHITE
stars, and only Thahr-al-Dubb (today called Dubhe) is an ORANGE-
colored star and this color - as written by Patrick Moore in his
German version Atlas of the Stars (Grosser Atlas der Sterne) is
easily seen with the naked eye even today - and surely so in ancient
days.

Enjoy,
Andis

Dear LexiLiners,

The connection of the Miami Circle to the Great Lakes region was
recently made by Florida archaeologists who found hematite point
projectiles near the Miami Circle site.

One of these iron oxide projectiles, according to the archaeologists,
stems from the Great Lakes region ca. 5000-6000 years ago.

See
http://dhr.dos.state.fl.us/brickellpoint/fieldbook5.html

Bingo!

This fits exactly with my chronological dating of the earth survey.
It also meshes well with my hypothesis that the site at Peterborough,
Canada, was a center of geodetic survey ca. 3117 BC, tied in to the
Miami site. The Argonauts came southward from Peterborough.

I am now uploading 4 new files to the folder Ancient Geodetics:

miamibig.tif
miamihyd.tif
miaminw.tif
miamisw.tif

These 4 files present my decipherments of the Miami Circle, which was
discovered at Brickell Point, Florida only a few years ago.

My decipherments show the Miami Circle to represent the position of
Hydra in the geodetic survey of 3117 BC and also show the figures,
stars and constellations represented by the Miami Circle.

Let me say that my decipherments here are still PROVISIONAL because
the photographic sources at my disposal are limited.

When I am able to get exact photos - large and small - of the site,
then I will be able to decipher the site exactly. The current
decipherments still contain a lot of guesswork on my part due to
incomplete and inexact sources and should be treated accordingly.

MIAMIBIG.TIF

miamibig.tif
shows ONLY the large figures which can be seen on initial aerial
photographs taken of the site. These are:

1. the serpent of heaven, as Hydra and Draco encircling the Milky
Way (the Milky Way is marked by that "circle" of holes, all of which
represent figures of fish, birds, animals etc.)
2. Man and Woman as Ursa Major and Cassiopeia
3. Ursa Minor as an axe (or hammer)
4. Leo and surrounding constellations as a large cat head
5. A mouse (?) as Cepheus
(i.e. the cat chases the mouse across the heavens - an early version
of Walt Disney's Tom and Jerry?)

These large figures - whence my giving the name miamibig.tif - must
have been carved first. Thereafter, the ancients must have added
smaller figures and stars and constellations. Some of the artwork is
truly unique, though it bears the same stamp as the artwork at Kents
Cavern - perhaps one person drew the design and the others carved it
out? In any case, perhaps the famed Florida Sun accounts for some of
the material.

The circle is surrounded by faces apparently representing the artists
who made this site and there are several instances of strong
fertility art at the rim of the picture as well as in the center
which I will not go into further. If you are able to see these
instances, fine. Mankind has not changed much in this regard in 5000
years.

A more detailed analysis of the figures and astronomy of the Miami
Circle can be seen at

miamihyd.tif

which shows the decipherment of the entire Miami Circle in detail

and also

miamisw.tif and miaminw.tif

which show my decipherment of the respective Southwest and Northwest
corners of the circle, with the NW corner being particularly
instructive. These decipherments are not complete, since the
available photographic material is incomplete.

The SE and SW corners have long been "under construction" by the
archaeologists and thus not photographically accessible for detailed
analysis.

Enjoy,

5 LexiLine Newsletter 2002
Ancient Geodetic Survey of America

Dear LexiLiners,

I have deleted the old
cahokia.tif  & cahokia.gif
in the Ancient Britain file -
where they did not really belong anyway -

and have uploaded
to the file on Ancient Geodetics
an amended - cahokia.tif
plus a new
merida.tif
both dealing with the geodetic survey of America ca. 3117 BC.

Based on my new knowledge from the Thornborough Circles  and the
Mountain Temples of Yucatan, it has been possible to make some
important corrections to my previous analysis of the ancient survey
of the Americas - some of the star positions had to be changed and
the distances amended. Please note that this alleged survey of the
Americas is PROVISIONAL - it is a working model - and I am sure some
fine tuning corrections will ultimately have to be made - but I think
the rough basics are correct. Especially Miami as Hydra has convinced
me that the underlying analysis is sound - as the recently found
Miami Circle - as I have discovered - has a large relief of Hydra on
it (together with a map of the heavens), and I will be upoading a
file on this in the coming days.

BASIC MEASUREMENT DISTANCES anciently USED for GEODETIC SURVEY

These ancient survey distances - as I have discovered - are often
multiples of the Golden Section (1.618) - and correspond to distances
also used in Europe for ancient geodetic survey. To arrive at the
distances, I use a software program called Geothek, where I can click
on points on a world map and it tells me the distance between them -
these distances will not have the accuracy of modern survey, but they
are sufficiently accurate for our purposes. I do not know how
accurate the ancients were. I am sure we will know more when
professional surveyors and cartographers start working with my
results.

I give the basic distances in MODERN  kilometers. The ancients surely
had their own mile or kilometer, perhaps based on the so-called
megalithic yard, but it is the relative RATIOS of the distances to
each other which is important, not the unit itself. We could use any
number as a measuring unit -  and multiples times 2 or multiplied by
1.618.

Using modern distance units,
ca. 1050 kilometers resulted as a basic distance unit
(with related distances of 1700, 2100, 2750, 3400
and 5500 km as follows):

1050 km basic unit of long-distance geodetic survey
x 2 = 2100 km
1050 km x 1.618 = ca. 1700 km
x 2  = 3400 km
1700 km x 1.618 = ca. 2750 km
x 2  = 5500 km

These are the distances I find  often in my alleged ancient geodetic
survey of America ca. 3000 BC. Recall that I did not LOOK for these
specific distances. Rather, they appear for sites which appear to be
the major sites for survey.

The major axis of North America from Miami to Whitehorse measures
5600 km. The ancients must have calculated this as 5500 km.
For Neolithic Man measuring by the stars , this would seem to be a
phenomenal result.

Andis

Dear LexiLiners,

I have made some astounding discoveries about megalithic and
prehistoric sites in Germany in recent weeks.

To start, I am uploading the most spectacular first,
a stone preserved under the pumice from a volcano eruption
ca. 11000 BC at Maria Laach - near Koblenz, Germany and near the
Magdalenian sites of Andernach near Koblenz and Gönnersdorf near
Neuwied (other side of the Rhine).

This upload is rhineman.tif

I have been able to decipher this stone, showing it to be a
planisphere of the heavens which I date to 11000 BC, at a time when
the summer solstice point was at the base of the division of the
Milky Way into two legs near Aquila and Serpens Cauda. The "joining"
area of the two legs of the Milky Way is at Deneb in Cygnus.

This is the oldest planisphere - by my astronomical decipherment
dates - that I have deciphered.

The stone has led to further astonishing observations about the
history of mankind's astronomy.

HERCULES, HERAKLES = Latvian ERGLIS
An eagle marks the constellation of Hercules on this stone.
Now, in Latvian an EAGLE is ERGLIS = HERCULES
This must be the original name - are we dealing here with the early
prehistoric stage in the observation of the heavens ca. 11000 BC?

CEPHEUS = Latvian SIEVIS (SIEVIETE) "woman"
A woman marks the position of CEPHEUS at the "head" of the Milky Way.
This is astonishing. The man is across the way at Lacerta.

This supports Gimbutas who argued that the Indo-Europeans were
originally matriarchal.

CYGNUS = SIK-SPARNIS

CYGNUS is represented by an OWL and Deneb marks an obvious spot at
the point where the two legs of the Milky Way join - next to which
the ancients have also placed the corresponding male counterpart. In
Latvian an OWL is called a PUCE, a word homophonic to many similar
terms, especially since Latvian PUSE means "half" and PUSHU- means
division.

However, the name CYGNUS seems to be the same as Latvian SIK -
SPARNIS and is applied as a name for the nocturnal "bat", so that
what I first saw as an owl in the stone may in fact be a bat. We must
recall that the ancients lived in caves and bats would have been a
very well known phenomenon of the night, well suited to personify
this location in the Milky Way of Stars.

SCORPIO = (s)CARP - fish

SCORPIO here - very old indeed - is clearly a s(CARP) i.e. a Carp
fish - later confused with Akrab - the crab - for the ancient Turks
called Scorpio Uzun Koirughi "long-tailed".

It was in fact known early in India as Kaurpya. The name is surely
retained in similar form in the name of the star Graffias (by
metathesis).

The arabs called their 15th manzil Iklial al Jabhah, the Crown of the
Forehead, as we saw in the Maya Mask, but this is of course a much
more modern version, as we now see.

DRACO Drac-o = Latvian ZiRGa, i.e DZIRGa "of the horse"

The Magdalenians are known to have been primarily hunters of horses,
but it is still absolutely astonishing to me that there is a horse
between Cepheus and Hercules, making the original Draco of heaven a
horse.

This now explains why the Latvian Dainas are full of material about
God's horse in the heavens and its saddle, which I had always thought
meant Pegasus, without this location however fitting the content of
the verses in the Dainas.

This also explains the origin of the term DRACO, coming from ancient
Indo-European e.g. Latvian ZIRGAS "horse" (Mongolian AZIRGAS) which
must have been a fricative DZIRG- to begin with and then evolved to
DIRG- , DRAC-o. Ancient etymologies of Draco thought it meant "swift"
(see Richard Hinckley Allen, p. 203) and this can now be confirmed as
correct, for Latvian ZHIRG-tas "swift that" is the same as
horse "ZIRG-". The ancients saw the turning of the heavens from night
to day and back as "swift".

Interesting also is that the entire heavens is represented -
humorously it seems - on the stone as a sort of personified axe-head
with a mouth and nose at Aquila, the tip of the head at Cassiopeia
(the crown), the back head at Hercules and Ophiuchus and the bottom
at the point between Sagittarius and Scoprio which marked the Summer
Solstice - here the beak of bird of some kind - probably a hen since
Latvian VIS-ta "hen" is like Latvian VAS-ara "summer". Humankind took
their axes very seriously in those days as their major tool.

All of this is absolutely remarkable to say the least.
It left me - to some degree - speechless.
Astronomy ca. 3000 BC is something we can all fathom.
But this kind of astronomical sophistication already in 11000 BC is
another thing.

3 LexiLine Newsletter 2002
Maya Temples and Maya Planispheres - Yucatan - Oxkintok - San
Bartolo, Guatemala

Dear LexiLiners,

To the file on Ancient Hermetic Temples I have added the file

mayayuc1.tif

which shows the mountain temples of Yucatan, the purpose of which has
been unexplained up to now.

As I have discovered, these temples were erected by the Maya on
ancient sites which marked the measurement which is recorded at
Thornborough Circles - i.e. the 1/4 of heaven measured in 3117 BC
from the star alpha Hydrus to the star beta Hydrus to the star
alpha in Triangulum Australis. This measurement was made along a
natural ridge used for marking the celestial meridian on the line of
the equinoxes.

The amazing thing is that I have also found an additional proof for
the correctness of the decipherment at Yucatan and Thornborough.

The uppermost and most northerly of these Yucatan temples is Oxkintok
(Maxcanu) and a wondrous Maya Mask was found there - a mask with 3
eyes in the shape of the 3 end stars of Scorpio which mark the Autumn
Equinox along the celestial meridian 3117 BC on the line running from
the star alpha in Hydrus to the star beta in Hydrus to the star alpha
in Triangulum Australis.

I would never have looked at this mask twice if it were not for those
three eyes and the fact that the mask is made with the smallest of
stones at the top with larger stones toward the face - which I
thought was strange - since the top of the head would be the easiest
to paste stones on - as a flat surface without the features of the
face - and yet the smallest stones were used here rather than the
large ones I would have expected, so I thought, this was probably
done with a purpose.

I examined all the stones with the various tools of my graphics
programs (picture enlargement, threshold colors and lines, etc.).

To my own astonishment, the stones on the Maya Mask are a planisphere
of the heavens. This must have been a Maya Star Priest.

Hence, I have added the file

mayamask.tif

to a new Maya folder which I have created under the existing folder
Ancient Planispheres.

Also to that new Maya folder I have added

mayawall.tif

which takes a Maya Wall Mural

as published in the most recent National Geographic Magazine

and which
I draw showing how that wall mural represents the portion of the
heavens running from Pisces to Orion.

Since this is 1 side of a 4-walled shrine (which reminds of the
ancient astronomical shrines, e.g., in China), I can state with
relative certainty that the other 3 sides, when published, will show
the other three corresponding regions of Heaven.

Andis

Dear LexiLiners,

The third time - and third correction - is the charm....

Although my new understanding - that the measurement at Thornborough
Circles runs along the celestial meridian at the Equninoxes in ca.
3117 BC - was correct, the second version of the interpretation of
the Thornborough Circles just uploaded several days ago needed
correction again,

so that I have again deleted the old thornbor.tif and replaced it
with a new version, which now stands,

running the decipherment of the 3 circles from the star alpha in
Hydrus to the star beta in Hydrus to the star alpha in Triangulum
Australis, i.e. a distance of 1/4 of the heavens.

Uploaded new - therefore - thornbor.tif

The reason for this correction was my search for a place where the
Thornborough Circles measurement was originally made - since of
course this was not done in England but only recorded there on the
ground. The newest National Geographic Magazine came to the rescue.

The Lexiline Newsletter 3 - also to be sent today - will provide the
details, since the place of origin of this measurement was further
south - and as we shall see - originally YUCATAN.

The ancient locations for the measurements were later places on which
temples were built by the Maya, but the original measurements were
made by the Argonauts long before them.

2 LexiLine Newsletter 2002 Thornborough Circles, April 9, 2002

Dear LexiLiners,

Due to my recent acquisition of Starry Night Pro, the best state-of-
the-art astronomy program on the market today, some corrections and
new discoveries can be reported regarding the Thornborough Circles,
Yorkshire, England, 3117 BC.

The previous file thornbor.tif in the LexiLine files has been deleted
and a new corrected version uploaded under the same name.

The file thornbo2.tif has also been uploaded.

Starry Night Pro has permitted me to decipher the calculation being
performed by the Thornborough Circles as the measure of the celestial
meridian at the equinoxes in 3117 BC from the South Polar Star to the
North Polar Star.

The measuring points used by the ancients were the following stars or
positions, EACH EQUIDISTANT IN HEAVEN FROM THE POINT BEFORE AND AFTER
IT:

- the star alpha in Hydrus (close by is the Southern Pole Star in
3117 BC represented as a small mound at Thornborough)
- the star alpha in Triangulum Australis
- the star alpha in Scorpio, Antares
- the star kappa in Serpens Caput - this explains why this otherwise
rather insignificant constellation was so important in this era (!)
- the North Polar Star

These stars mark the Celestial Meridian at the Equinoxes in 3117 BC.
As one can see at Thornborough - the star alpha in Triangulum
Australis, the nearest bright star at the point desired, is off
slightly to the right of the meridian line and this is reflected in
the slightly skewed position of the 3 Circles at Thornborough.

Dear LexiLiners,

Bill Schaffer informed me - thank goodness for this - that the Files
had not been available to the public, as I had reported they would
and should be.

Bill wrote:
>I assume your re-organization of the group files is complete.
>Counter to the above statement, the group files are again Not
>viewable to the public.

>bill

This has now been corrected. The FILES and PHOTOS are available to
the public, without the viewers having to be members of LexiLine.
They can simply use the internet address (URL):
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/LexiLine
and then click on Files viz. Photos.

Give me some time with Photos - I have some scanning to do.

P.S. I must apologize for the deletion of the text postings as I had
thought they would be retained in Yahoo archives, which they
apparently are not.

I hope you all kept copies of your LexiLine postings - as I do. In
any case, barring unforseen events, I will not delete newsletter text
postings in the future.

Welcome to 1 LexiLine Newsletter 2002, Basics, Easter Edition.

Happy Easter, 2002.

Issue 1 presents basic information about the
LexiLine List Newsletter on The History of Civilization.
This Newsletter replaces the LexiLine discussion list, whose text
files have thus been deleted, but whose picture files are retained.

LEXILINE LIST NEWSLETTER - WHAT WE DO

The LexiLine List Newsletter is focused on new developments and
discoveries in the study of the history of civilization, including
language, culture, genetics and technology. Special emphasis is given
to the astronomy of ancient peoples as found on megalithic sites.

LEXILINE LIST NEWSLETTER - FILES and PHOTOS (see menu left)

Absolutely essential to our list are the FILES which are open to the
public and which contain drawings of, e.g. megalithic sites and
visual explanations of stones, dolmens, cairns, tumuli, barrows,
henges, rings, earthworks, rock art, cave drawings, archaeological
artifacts, etc.

Ideally, for any text topic, the applicable FILES should be viewed as
soon as possible , since a text may sometimes explain only with
difficulty a point which a drawing may demonstrate easily.
Photographed material - especially of megalithic sites -  will in the
future be found in the PHOTO files. All PHOTOS in this file are by
Andis Kaulins or Martha Walker, copyright by Andis Kaulins 2002.

PHOTOS can also be submitted by list members for inclusion - provided
it is your photo or drawing and provided you own the copyright. - You
MUST attach a copyright notice to your photo or drawing so that
others know the photo is copyrighted and by whom. The list moderator
alone decides whether a photo or file will be included in our FILES
or PHOTOS, which are open to the public.

EXAMPLES OF DISCOVERIES FIRST PUBLISHED IN LEXILINE
The LexiLine List (through the original postings of Andis Kaulins)
was the first to show
(click on FILES left - and then ANCIENT BRITAIN)
how the Neolithic megaliths and sites of Ancient Britain
(Scotland, England, Wales) with Ireland in preparation
mark stars and stellar constellations on Earth
- IN A COHESIVE SYSTEM -
and during an age - ca. 3000 BC - previously not affiliated with
astronomy. Our conceptions about Neolithic man must thus be revised.

EXAMPLES OF FORTHCOMING TOPICS
Forthcoming newsletters will show for the first time how ancient rock
drawing sites in the New World, for example, Peterborough, Canada,
represent planispheres (sky maps) of the heavens.
We are also in the process of  correctly translating  the Sumerian
Temple Hymn(s), which describe an astronomical system.
Also forthcoming are decipherments of megalithic sites in continental
Europe, starting in Germany.
Decipherments of other megalithic sites around the world will follow.

CORRECTIONS TO MAINSTREAM HISTORY

Our decipherments of megalithic sites raise serious questions about
the accuracy and reliability of mainstream historical teachings.

One source for such historical error is explained through applied
cognitive psychology, where psychologists study and describe how the
human mind chronologically dates events which have occurred in the
past. Numerous studies show that events which are subjectively seen
by humans as "familiar" are dated forward in time from the actual
date - and those which are subjectively seen as "not familiar" are
dated backward in time from the actual date.

Applied by us to the history of civilization, we find that
anthropologists, for example, generally date new finds FAR BACK in
time - such finds relate to a  non-familiar event - BUT this dating
seems to conflict with genetic dating of human DNA, which objectively
dates "humanity" far less back in time. This discrepancy in dating is
explained through applied cognitive psychology as "cognitive error" .

Similarly, an allegedly familiar event - such as the origin of
writing - is dated FORWARD as a "familiar" event. It was once thought
that writing began in Europe with the Greeks and Cadmos, whereas
modern studies keep pushing this date for the origin of writing, also
in Europe, further and further back.

It is thus regrettable but not surprising, that in astronomy as well,
ancient astronomical evidence is more or less ignored if it surfaces
prior to Hipparchus and Ptolemy.

Also in ancient studies, Egyptologists and Near Eastern scholars more
or less summarily reject evidence of preceding cultures outside of
their own areas of study and beyond the time frames they establish.
The resulting history is thus not only flawed, it is downright wrong.

The history of language fares no better and most modern linguists of
Indo-European e.g. know nothing beyond ancient Greek. This cognitive
error by mainstream scholars is a major focus of our research.

LEXILINE LIST NEWSLETTER - HISTORY of the LIST
This Newsletter traces its origins back to 1997 when the present
LexiLine List moderator Andis Kaulins started a discussion list on
ancient cultures at the suggestion of Patrick Ryan (a current
LexiLine List member). This list was renamed the LexiLine List in
1999 as a discussion forum for the History of Civilization - a name
based on the Greek term LEXIS meaning "word, speech" - human speech
being a pillar of human civilization.

After thousands of postings from 1997 to Easter 2002, and due to
significant major megalithic and archaeoastronomical discoveries by
the LexiLine list owner, a need was seen to formalize the list into a
newsletter for appropriate presentation of materials to both list
members as well as to the public.

LEXILINE LIST NEWSLETTER - FUTURE
The result of all of these considerations is that LexiLine
Newsletters will in the future also contain link references to online
related pages presenting materials in greater detail and
sophistication in HTML or similar formats. The size of Newsletters
should then appropriately decrease. LexiLine List Newsletter members
will thus be able to select the topics which interest them and view
them online and be confronted with less text in Newsletter postings.

LEXILINE LIST NEWSLETTER - CONTRIBUTIONS FROM MEMBERS
Members can submit material to the LexiLine Newsletter Owner for
inclusion in the Newsletter. Such material must be ORIGINAL and must
describe a NEW development or discovery directly affecting the topic
of the History of Civilization. The topics of religion, politics or
related themes are absolutely excluded and will be summarily
rejected.  Contributions to the newsletter can also be short
references to an appropriate book, newspaper article, internet link,
or similar source. Except for excerpts required for analysis or
proof, copied materials from such resources, for example, extensive
page scans from books or other references, are NOT permitted. A link
with page reference to such sources is sufficient for anyone's
purposes. Any member submitting material to the Newsletter must
append their real full name, address, telephone number, e-mail and
institutional or professional affiliation. All data will be checked.
Submissions without such information will go in the wastebasket.

In all cases, the List Owner and Moderator makes a final, purely
subjective, judicially non-appealable decision about inclusion or non-
inclusion of material in the newsletter and states here in advance
that most submissions will be rejected out of hand, unless they
involve demonstrably original work and original insight into vital
issues of the History of Civilization.

Sincerely,
Andis Kaulins, List Owner and Moderator
