Subject: The Spring Equinox

I would like to wish one and all a happy equinox. Despite the currently rubbish weather in the UK, we have a reached the real turning point of the Solar year.

Now your all well aware the volumes of nonsense that have been written about the Giza Sphinx. I'm quite clear in my own mind, that by following Gerald Hawkins work, we should not go wrong in saying the sphinx for what it is. It is an effigy of the Sun-God, and the the Sphinx is indeed is staring East to meet the sunrise on the Spring equinox. Hawkins states that the Sphinx's stare is reducible to ' a numeric :90' E of N. An astronomical orientation towards declination 0', the position of the Sun at the dawn of the equinox'. As Hawkins further states, ' on that day the Sun rises and sets along the axis of the Sphinx'. Whether or not, one believes the Sphinx to be a figure representing either Khafra of Khufu, Thuthmosis IV did not, His stela clearly states the Sphinx is Ra-Horakhty, and goes on to say that the God was in his chosen position..for the shadow of the sun is upon him. Clear enough I think...

Ian
