The reason that Karnac does matter so much is that when the wrong solstice is used it is far the largest deviation and most significant point on the curve. However when the correct solstice is used as I pointed out before.
One reason I said that Karnak doesn't matter, was because the correct soltice is not known for sure. Regardless if it was in a link somewhere.
As I pointed out..
"There are a number of problems that confront any study looking at deliberate astronomical orientation of the temples of Egypt. Firstly it is clear that the Ancient Egyptians were not consistent in their temples alignments, which point to many different azimuths and as such to different potential astronomical events . In the case of stellar alignments, the most obvious contenders are the first magnitude stars like Sirius, Canopus, Vega and Arcturus, although constellation groupings like Orion, Cassiopeia and Ursa Major could also have been used. Unless the dating of a temple is accurately known possible star orientations can be notoriously difficult to assess. Time changes of several hundred years can considerably alter potential stellar alignments."
Egyptian Temple Alignment and Orientation
We would need to know, in other words, the way the heavens were at that time! You chose to assume that they always were as we now see them, basically. However, if the laws and universe of man changed, some differences would exist most likely.
Now I am happy to pursue that angle in another thread, if needed, but Karnak's exact cosmic significance is only guessed at, and a LOT of assumptions are involved.
I have temporarily, just for this thread, and the sake of argument chosen to allow Karnak to be unknown, and not included. You seem to ignore the other 65 data points, so rather than get bogged down on the unknown, better to forget it for now. I am not going to accept your same state past opinions of the heavens and build a bunch of things on that.
No. We would need to prove that it was blocked at THAT time. Remember, mountain building and the continental separation likely came as a result of the nature change. Therefore we would need to look at the origins of the hills blocking the view. We would also need to prove that the structure in front of the view in the early days did block, rather than actually augment it! I do not think that is known. And we would need to fix the axis and alignments in THAT time, pre split, for the earth and sun, to see if anything was actually blocked at all!#256
"G.S. Hawkins surved the complex and determined that its main axis was southeast, toward sunrise on the day of winter solstice, and northwest, toward sunset on the day of summer solstice. According to Hawkins the winter solstice sunrise was the primary alignment because the view of the summer solstice is blocked.
These are some reasons I said we can leave out that data point for the purposes of this thread.
Worthless. As above.Hawkins calculated when the complex was started, the Earth's axial tilt was 23 degrees, 87 minutes which would put it right on the Newcombe line.
No. Sorry. Not enough is known to stick it up in the wild blue yonder.I have attached the curve with X marking the spot for the correct Karnac solstice and orientation.
The pattern of what was known remains clear.
Too many unknowns arise as we get too far into the mists of time...

Montu was the major god at Karnak before Amun[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica].[/FONT]

[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica]'Just north of the Temple of Amun-Ra, are the foundations of an earlier, but also central and primary, temple dedicated to the god Montu. Little remains of this temple, not because it was weathered by the elements, but rather because it was systematically deconstructed and its building stones used in the construction of other temples. According to Schwaller de Lubicz, this mysterious dismantling of temples, found at Karnak and numerous other places in Egypt, has to do with the changing of the astrological cycles. The supplanting of the bull of Montu with the ram of Amon coincides with the astronomical shift from the age of Taurus, the bull, to the age of Aries, the ram; the earlier temple of Montu had lost its significance with the astronomical change and thus a new temple was constructed to be used in alignment with the current configuration of the stars'.(4)[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica] Montu was the original god in the Theban area. (Montu, originated in the form of a local solar god in Upper (southern) Egypt, apparently at Hermonthis (City of the Sun). His worship appears to have been exported to Thebes around the time of the 11th Dynasty. "
