Ancient Aliens And Astronomical Alignments

Mysterious Universe

Andrew May

Advocates of the “Ancient Alien” theory point to numerous different types of evidence that the Earth was visited by extraterrestrials in the distant past. One of their most compelling arguments is based on the apparent alignment of certain ancient structures with stars and constellations. After all, if the alignments are real – and not just the result of random chance, as the skeptics claim – then what other explanation could there be? Stars mean outer space, and outer space means extraterrestrials. It’s a straight choice between believing in aliens and denying the evidence. Or is it really that simple?

Few people would deny that one particular subset of “astronomical” alignments does occur, namely those associated with the sun rather than the night sky. Even mainstream archaeologists can grasp the fact that seasonal movements of the Sun were relevant to ancient cultures. Hence they have no problem with things like the solar alignment of Stonehenge at sunrise on the summer solstice, or the creeping shadow serpent of Chichen Itza at the equinoxes.

It’s a different matter when it comes to night-time astronomy – things like stars, planets and constellations. That’s where the big divergence of opinion sets in. Mainstreamers have no difficulty accepting that Newgrange – a Neolithic site in Ireland that is older than Stonehenge – is aligned with the rising sun on the winter solstice. But to claim that the same site is patterned after the constellation of Cygnus – as some non-academic researchers have suggested – strikes them as preposterous. What possible interest could Neolithic people have had in stars that are hundreds of light-years away from Earth?

Cygnus is one of a number of constellations that seemingly crop up again and again in the design of ancient structures around the world. Another is Draco, which appears to be reflected in the layout of the Angkor Wat temple complex in Cambodia and the Serpent Mound of Ohio, both dating from around a thousand years ago. An even more famous example is the constellation of Orion. The three stars of Orion’s belt are reflected in the arrangement of the three pyramids of the Giza plateau, and also in the Thornborough Henges of northern England, which date from a similar period – around 2500 BC.
