Graham Hancock already pointed that aspect out years ago. Funny how this finding has to be resaid by scientists to be more official than a journalist's observations.

I'm hoping one day all these "mysteries" will be explained, but I doubt it. It has been answered. Just read Cydonia, the secret chronicles of mars by David Flynn.

It's pretty obvious to me the ancients used the accuracy of the stars for measurments, and the worship of the permanance of these cycles took them to acknowledge it in their archetecture, and create their theologies. Its a shame mainstream research hasnt demonstrated and promoted it more its almost as if they are afraid of it, maybe something to do with the christian outlook which has held things back in the past? I dont understand it.
