The Ancients based geography on astronomy

This series of somewhat technical articles reveals how the ancients, applying microcosmic theory (as above, so below) based their geography on astronomy. They believed that at death one could join the ancestors by taking a ride on the Nile at Abydos, where the Nile briefly makes a westward turn. They believed in the correspondance of the milky way and the Nile to the point that as the sky changed, they believed the course of the Nile changed. Things were lined up perfectly when the Nile, they believed, flowed west to east. This was 9000 years before Plato (the time of Atlantis). The author connects legend of the Fall, Atlantis, and the Garden of Eden to astronomical events, particularly the precessional shift at the beginning of the Age of Leo.
