Star Signs and the Labyrinth

by Patrick Geryl and Gino Ratinckx

Patrick and Gino have established the exact location of the famous labyrinth built by the ancient Egyptians. This temple is probably the largest man-made monument ever constructed and is reputed to contain a wealth of information and astronomical knowledge of the Old Egyptians. The authors prove their points with extensive scientific and archeological research. The excavation of this time-capsule will have enormous archeological and historical implications...

In September 1996, I first read about the labyrinth in a French translation of "The Book of the Dead". The author, Albert Slosman, had deciphered old manuscripts in which he had read that the Egyptians had built an enormous building.
This is also where the biggest treasures of all times would be.

The Greek Historiographer Herodotus was amazed when he saw the huge labyrinth in the fifth century before Christ. It was the administrative and astronomical center of Egypt, had 2 floors, 3000 rooms and probably a diameter of more than a kilometer.

For centuries, scientists and adventurers have searched for the labyrinth without success. But with his knowledge of astronomy, Gino discovered a correlation between the Milky Way and the Nile. He immediately saw that the temple of Dendera had to correspond with the star Deneb in the constellation Cygnus.

One of the turns in the Nile in the area of Dendera even corresponds exactly with the Milky Way. He further postulated that the labyrinth had to have a heavenly counterpart: no doubt these were the Hyades because they formed a labyrinth of stars.

Going from the pyramids that symbolize Orion, the labyrinth then had to be located in Hawara. To our amazement the labyrinth had been discovered on the location we had indicated! The excavations had been done 160 years previous by a German called Lepsius. He claimed the labyrinth was like a collapsed ruin.

This being too much of a coincidence, we decided to leave for Egypt.
We took a GPS (Ground Positioning System) to exactly determine the position of the temples and pyramids.

Dendera, Egypt, Tuesday 25 March 1997

At the entrance of the temple, we met Mohammed Aldawy Barbary, archeologist and chief of security. Mohammed confirmed to us that Dendera had been associated with the star Deneb, as we had postulated.

Simultaneously with our first steps in the temple an overwhelming feeling hit us. Everything radiated grandeur and power. The day before we had visited the valley of the kings, but it couldn't withstand the comparison with Dendera.

Here, everything was more mysterious, more enigmatic, more complex, and so on. As if a hidden power was behind it, an unfathomable deep source of knowledge.
Gino and I were determined to try and unravel it. We looked with astonishment at the wonderful columns and the exquisite ceilings. Up on the roof we took the important coordinates. Then we admired the copy of the zodiacal table - the original is in the Louvre in Paris.
It was here that Gino noticed a first deviation in the concept. According to his measurements the zodiac was directed to the north, with a deviation of five degrees in eastern direction. Since it was a copy it could be a coincidence. So he decided to measure the south-north axis of the temple. To his astonishment it also showed a deviation of five degrees in the eastern direction.


Esna, Egypt, Wednesday 26 March 1997

The first assessment we made was that the temple's level is below the Nile level. The archeologist on duty explained that only on that depth there was solid ground to build on. Because of its low level it suffered from subsoil water intrusion and that was bad for the conservation of the hieroglyphs.
Since the Egyptians were so keen tot keep everything in as perfect a condition as possible, we concluded there must have been a special reason to build the temple right here - a reason much more important than the degree of difficulty of building it there.

Soon enough, Gino found the sign of Altair (in Aquila) which again reinforced our theory. Furthermore we saw columns similar to the Dendera ones; the temple was built in the same era, hence the similarities. Other elements of correspondence are the zodiacal signs and the pattern of the ceilings. After measuring it, the temple proved to be directed to the north with a deviation of five degrees to the east. Two such striking deviations could not be a coincidence!


Gizeh, Egypt, Monday 31 march 1997

We were walking towards the pyramids; it was less than a kilometer from our hotel. I had read an elaborate description in the book "Fingerprints of the Gods". The previous day I already had a first taste of it through the view in our room: grand, mysterious, mystic and an infinite amount of other descriptions one could give to it as well.
"I bet the pyramids also have a deviation of five degrees", I challenged Gino. "I won't gamble on this one, cause I already know the answer!".

A few minutes later we stood in front of the largest building on earth. You had to see it to believe it. It beats every description I ever read. Overwhelmed by its grandeur, mysterious through its hidden secrets, mystic because of its esoteric character, and so on.

For minutes we let its impression work on us, after that, we started working. With the GPS, Gino measured the corners from the pyramid. When walking from one corner to the other he also assessed the direction of the pyramid.

The result no longer was a surprise to us: a deviation of five degrees to the east. We noted the same deviation for the two other pyramids.

Determination of the position

The astronomic knowledge of the Egyptians was impressive, and it was something Gino could positively prove once we were back home.
With the aid of the positions of the pyramids and temples he tried to calculate mathematically how they had done it. After an intense search he came to the conclusion they must have known the perimeter of the earth perfectly and they must have been able to calculate the distance to the stars! This is how he handled the problem: how do I project the position of a star on earth?

the Orion constellation and the Hyades with the Labyrinth.


Solution

  1. Freeze the heaven on a certain moment in time.

  2. Calculate the distance between the stars and record them in specified units (for instance: royal ell, etceteras).

  3. Take the center of the earth and project the star on it.

  4. Take into account a certain scale while making the projection, so everything can be remeasured accordingly.

  5. The projection is three-dimensional, which complicates the work considerably. And on top of that you have to take into account the angle between the stars. In order to do this you have to know stereometry and possess the necessary knowledge to project a point on a three-dimensional landscape. Only the finest mathematicians and astronomers can do this nowadays.

  6. Place the temple on the junction with the earth. Our measurements prove they were able to accomplish this and demonstrate clearly the Egyptians had incredibly knowledge, and can match or even surpass today's science!

RESEARCH ON LOCATION

Hawara, Egypt, Wednesday 2 April 1997, 11 a.m.

At high speed, the taxi driver hurried his car through the desert. The sun was burning my eyes. At a distance I could see the Hawara pyramid appearing. Restlessly, I was moving back and forth. Gino pointed at the building and nodded - that was it.

We were rapidly nearing our journey's objective. We arrived; the landscape was desolate. Not one tourist could be seen. Three guides and a ticket salesman welcomed us with open arms. Not one of them spoke English. Luckily our driver could start the communication between us all. The entrance was sixteen Egyptian pounds, quite a lot for a pyramid made of clay. But we paid gladly.

Two guides accompanied us. Gino and I put on our hats against the burning sun and we followed the graveled path.
One of our guides made wild gestures. He pointed to a bright white pillar, hardly visible above the sand. The figures of two crocodiles were chiseled on it.
This clearly was a clue that this was the right site.
Indeed, Herodotos mentioned that the labyrinth was located close to Crocodilopolis.

Crocodiles on column; Crocodilopolis!

Our guides kneeled down right in front of the entrance.
They made a drawing of a pyramid in the sand; they distinguished three layers on it. Then they pointed to the lower layer and to a stone made of red granite from Aswan.

The use of this type of very hard stone indicated that the pyramid must have been important. You don't tool this type of stone without good reason.
On top of this layer, the same type of stone was used, as for the Gizeh pyramids. And the last layer was made of clay stones, as we already noticed.

I climbed an earth wall which was right next to the pyramid. Some twenty meters away, about eight meters deep, I saw the canal running as Herodotos described it. I was staring into the distance and saw nothing else but a green oasis in front of me. I could easily imagine there used to be a lake with beaches.

While I was daydreaming I kept on looking around. Quite soon I was filled with the feeling that we were in the right place. During my research, I had had a similar feeling several times. And every time it proved to be right afterwards.
This time would not be different. My intuition was too strong for that.
The labyrinth was right here! You can bet on it!

While we went around the pyramid, Gino stopped to measure its position. He had calculated it theoretically beforehand and to our satisfaction it matched - only a few meters' difference the measured values! Again a confirmation of what I suspected.

Hereafter, I give again the main evidences of why the labyrinth must be located in this place:

  1. There is a canal in front of the pyramid, a branch of the Bahr Joessoef canal. According to Herodotos there used to be a canal connected to the lake which was in front of the pyramid.

  2. Behind the canal is a dip: the oasis of the Fayum. This is where the lake must have been.

  3. The position of the pyramid matches exactly the star Aldebaran in the constellation Taurus. Such a similarity points towards the importance of the position.

  4. Several tops of columns that are sticking above the sand are telling us that there is more hidden under the surface. These, probably stood on the roof of the labyrinth.

  5. The temple was built in the early days of the age of Taurus. When looking thoroughly at the star sign Taurus, it is similar to the Pleiades and the Hyades. The region which matches the Pleiades is located too high, so that possibility is no longer open. This leaves us with the Hyades.
    And that's where the labyrinth is!

  6. The Hyades contain twelve bright and also a large number of other stars.
    The number twelve matches the zodiac. Astronomers call the Hyades a labyrinth of stars.
    A further indication is that the Hyades cover five degrees of the sky, the same number as the deviation measured of temples and pyramids in relation to the north-south axis.

  7. Red Aswan granite was used for the fundament of the pyramid. This points to the importance of the place as well as to the fact that it protected the clay stone construction from the water.

  8. Two chiseled crocodiles, are a clue for the Crocodilopolis, which was not far from here.

  9. Lepsius did not dig very deep, not deep enough to find the labyrinth.

For these reasons it is absolutely necessary to start new excavations here.
Only this way the enigma of the labyrinth can be solved.
