Stars and their Pyramids

To begin, I thought I should discuss why I have named my blog ‘Stars and their Pyramids’.

In brief, it is a reference to what is called the ‘Orion Correlation Theory’ (or OCT). Rather than describe it in full here, I recommend instead that you read the Wikipedia article, which provides a sound overview. In brief, it refers to the flawed theory that pyramids across the world were placed to precisely match the stars in Orion’s belt and other constellations.

It is my position that this is, in its broadest terms, fascinating, if flawed. It is a testament to the wonder of mankind, and to the poetic creativity with which we approach problems, that this theory even exists. I am not a man constrained to the discussion of scientific facts, but a man intrigued by what we as humans can conjure from symbols of the past.
