5. The geological dating for the Sphinx also suggests 10450 BC, which would have been the Age of Leo. The body of the Sphinx is a Lion. There are many other examples, from various ancient cultures, of the precession of the Equinoxes being important in some way. Why do you think these were so important to the ancients?
6. We do not know why the ancients seemed to know about Precession of the Equinoxes so long ago. One thing that is clear is that the Greeks must have known the exact polar circumference of the earth long, long time before Eratosthenes, who worked it out with the help of a deep well in Syene, around 200 AD. In 1953, an engineer with an obsession about weights and measures named A. E. Berriman, wrote book called Historical Metrology, in which he pointed out that the basic Greek measurement is the stade , which is about the length of a football pitch. Amazingly enough, there are precisely 216,000 stade in the polar circumference of the earth. That happens to be 360 times sixty. It is easy to see at a glance that each degree of the Earth's circumference. A degree is made up of sixty minutes, so each minute is one stade long. A minute is made up of sixty seconds, so each second is a sixtieth of a Greek stade. And this happens to be a hundred Greek feet. This is staggering, for the classical Greeks of Plato's time did not know the size of the earth. Yet their ancient measuring system proves that they took their stade from some civilization that did know the size of the earth. The likeliest candidate might seem to be the Sumerians, around 4000 BC, who invented the minute with sixty seconds and the hour with sixty minutes. But the Sumerians were not great seafarers, so it seems a little unlikely that they discovered the size of the earth. That is to say, the ‘Atlanteans' - seem a more likely candidate.
7. Sumerians had also been great astronomers, who had compiled tables of the motions of all the planets, including Uranus and Neptune. Did they, know about the precession of the equinoxes? The time it takes for the earth to complete its processional cycle is just under 26,000 years.
8. Also, if you are looking for a book about the mystical Atlanta's who used telepathy and telekinesis you will be disappointed. If you want a book to prove that Atlantis could never have existed, it would be better to save your money.
