36,400 BC: my proposal on Historical Golden Age of the Zep Tepi (processing by

Excerpt from the book "Ancient Mysteries" Amazon
Many conjectures have been made concerning the monumental complex of
Giza. Some of these fall within the theories of the so called “independent
school of Egyptology”, of which they constitute a great part. It is undeniable
that “academic” Egyptology has greatly contributed to our knowledge of a unique
and incomparable civilization, incredibly developed socially, artistically and
scientifically. Unfortunately, academic Egyptologists have also persisted in
misattributing some archaeological finds to Dynastic Egyptians, which I believe
have little to do with that civilization. This has created confusion among
researchers and has affected our comprehension of the prehistory of Egypt.
In last 20years, one of the most outstanding theories, in scientific
terms, is that proposed by Robert Bauval, known as The Orion Correlation
Theory. He proposed a correlation between the major pyramids of Giza and the
three largest stars forming the Belt of Orion. Particularly, he suggested that
a perfect alignment between the former and the latter occurred in the year 10,450 BC.

As a result of this, a fervid debate among scholars originated, which
has long slowed, and at times even impeded, objective analysis of the pyramid
complex.
Still unsolved remains, for example, the dispute over the “Zep Tepi”.
While academics agree to confine its purpose to mythology, I believe that their
position conflicts with the long lists of sovereigns found so accurately
transcribed in Egyptian documents and temples. I do not believe that the First
Time is a myth, as it is regarded by some researchers. I assume that the Zep
Tepi was an historical time of prosperity. In my opinion, all major monuments
of Giza were built before the Dynastic Age to celebrate the Age of
Osiris rule.
But, when the monuments of Giza were built?
Astronomical
Configuration & the Zep Tepi
I studied the astronomic configuration of the sky above Giza in the
remote past. First of all, I analysed the astronomic configuration concerning
the sky above Giza in the year 10,450 BC (Bauval’s Theory).
At the dawn of the vernal equinox the Constellation of Lion is right on
the ecliptic, while the Constellation of Orion is on the Meridian. Remarkable
is the position of Mintaka, because this star lies on the Meridian while
Alnitak has moved toward the south-east.
In my opinion, this is not the right configuration, because I expect to
find Alnitak (the correspondent of the Great Pyramid, the most important
monument of Giza) on the Meridian and not the pyramid of Mycerinus, the smaller
pyramid of Giza. Any other astronomical object, close to the monuments of Giza,
were in the Sky at that time.
The Age of the Zep Tepi
In the following table, what is most striking is the configuration of
the sky above Giza in the year 36,420 BC. At the dawn of the vernal equinox, at
an entire astronomical precessional cycle before 10,450 BC, all monuments of
Giza were perfectly aligned with the constellations as follows:
Earliest sunshine rays disclosing to dawn.
Lion Constellation and Sphinx are close connected to the East. Orion
Constellation is on the Celestial Meridian, exactly above the Pyramids. Most
important it’s a perfect connection between Al Nitak – the largest Star of the Belt
of Orion – and the Great Pyramid, the bigger monument on Giza Plateau. Connection occurred only in this astronomical configuration and in no
one astronomical alignment ever proposed by experts, from 2,000 AD to 100,000
BC.
As Al Nitak cuts Celestial Meridian, so the Great Pyramid lies in the center
of emerged lands, or rather at main meridian and parallel intersection, or
rather at the distance of 1/3 between Equator and North Pole, symbolizing the
“natural zero” for longitude.
Moreover, there are many astronomical guidelines proving the concept of
the Beginning of a New Age.
First of all, Planets position. They are positioned in the South-East
hemisphere, as for following the rising Sun through its move along the
ecliptic. Particularly, the Moon is a New Moon, and it’s positioned just below
the celestial horizon, ready to follow the Sun move towards the light.
