Robert, Thank you for reading my piece on Hipparchus and precession of the equinoxes (https://beforeorion.com/index.php/precession-of-the-equinoxes-before-hipparchus/). I will read your suggested references. Dark Night Skies, Bernie

Comment on Precession of the Equinoxes Before Hipparchus? by Robert Tulip

Hello Bernie, thanks for drawing my attention to your article on Hipparchus. As I recall (will re-check), Astronomy from Babylonia to Copernicus by William O’Neill argues that Hipparchus actually calculated the speed of precession correctly, but the incorrect degree per century idea (from Timaeus?) was accepted by Ptolemy and led later astronomers on a wild goose chase to explain why the speed seemed to change, with the false idea of ‘trepidation’. Another excellent source on ancient knowledge of precession is Norman Lockyer’s study of Egyptian temple star worship. It may be that ancient societies were aware of precession without accurate knowledge of its speed. The Pan-Babylonian school investigated these issues, with an attempted debunking by Neugebauer. I gave a talk last night that discussed these themes. Have you read The Myth of Babylonian Knowledge of Precession by Gary Thompson?
Thanks, Robert Tulip

Comment on Picasso’s Ice Age Inspiration for Guernica? by Edmond Furter

A neck turned backward or elongated, expresses one of two frequent archetypal meanings, as I found in statistical analysis of the universal archetypal structure in hundreds of art and rock art works (Furter 2014: Mindprint): Type 1 /2 Builder /Ruiner (twisted), or type 3 Queen (sacrifice). Agnus dei expresses several type 3 meanings (neck bent, sacrifice, ovid). These features each appear at their own fixed average frequencies in artworks of all ages and ‘cultures’. Each artwork expresses only some, never all of the optional features.
Subconscious expression of archetypal structure explains how enigmatic bent necks appear in artworks worldwide, and their position at character type 1 and/or 2, or 3, in the fixed peripheral sequence of minimal twelve, usually sixteen characters. If the panel nicknamed ‘Agnus Dei’ or Lamb of God, had eleveon or more characters in proximity, I could demosntrate that their eyes were on an axial grid, and their secquence, and features, express about 60% of the currently known recurrent features. Always. No exception found after testing 800 artworks of all styles.
Picasso’s Guernica is one of the artworks demonstrated to subconsciusly express the structure of five layers (features, sequence, ocular axial grid, certain polar features, and time-frame signature in certain central limb joints), in my book mindprint. I found this structure, I did not invent it. Artists do not learn, teach, or even know the structure. They use a very specific visual ‘grammar’ despite some borrowing, despite stylisation, despite their conscious programme. Kindly visit my websites at http://www.mindprintart.wordpress.com or http://www.stoneprintjournal.wordpress.com where the cause of recurrent correspondences and apparent citations is explained. The subconscious model of archetypal structuralist expression resolves the core content of culture. Greetings, Edmond Furter

In reply to Gilbert.

Gilbert,

Thank you for reading my blog. Yes, you are correct that my archaeoastronomy work dates to 34k years ago. I sought to be objective in the book review and not have it a commercial for my own research. More on the earliest known astronomy can be found at http://beforeorion.com/index.php/archaeoastronomy-with-before-orion/

In reply to Fellow Art Lover.

Fellow Art Lover,

I haven’t seen the connection elsewhere. However, Picasso’s quotes after leaving the caves of Altamira and Lascaux are widely circulated. More on the Picasso connection to Paleolithic cave art can be found at http://beforeorion.com/index.php/pablo-picasso/

Hi Bernie.
Interesting read. Are the Picasso to cave art connections in any other books?

I read the book review and I watched some of your videos. Your work dates astronomy to 10,000s of years before Gobeklitepe and Lascaux.
Why didn’t you point of the earlier references in the book review?

Comment on The Archetypal Mother Bear by Before Orion

In reply to Eileen. Eileen, That's a lot of moms. The protective mother bear is in human nature - or should we say that we all have animal nature. More on the protective mother bear and mankind's consciousness in this 2 minute video -Archetypes - The Great Bear in Life, Astronomy and Myth. Thank you for commenting on Bernie's Blog.
