2080 BCE ALDERBARAN the star known as the ‘Eye of Taurus’ crosses from Southern to Northern declination of the celestial equator around the time of Abram and Melchisedek. This could also be the dating of the Dashour pyramid texts. Around this time there is also the adoption of the suffix ‘Ra’ in the royal names of Egypt so that for example Kharf became Kharf-ra; Sahu became Sahu-ra. (54) This may indicate the replacing of the rule of ancient hawk-headed god Heru or Horus the Elder by that of the sun god ‘Ra’, although the two are often blended.
MELCHISEDEKis priest-king of Salem (Jeru-salem) and high priest of Elohim (God) at the time of Abram. Abram received communion from Melchisedek in the form of bread and wine, a form of initiation used in ancient Egypt. (160. 166 p.77)
HERU ‘he who is above’, or the ancient Egyptian god of the sky. As the ‘Face of Heaven he represented the unknown and invisible god of the universe. The ‘hair’ of this face harbored the four children of Horus who represented the supports of the four corners of the universe, formerly the four pillars of the god Shu. Ra or the Sun became the right ‘Eye of Horus’, whilst the Moon became the left ‘Eye of Horus’. By late dynastic times this elder Horus will blend with Horus the younger, son of the goddess Isis.

c2060 IBBI-SIN the last king of the Third Dynasty of Ur in Mesopotamia (c2060-1950) which marked the last glorious revival of Sumerian culture. Within 50 years it will have ended and there is to be no successor. A period of weakness and instability will ensue following the end of this dynasty in 1950 BCE. (173)
c2000 BCE Babylonians demonstrate familiarity with the rules for the area of rectangles, right-angled triangles and isosceles triangles. These form the foundations of geometry, a branch of mathematics which studies the properties of shapes and space, originally of the Earth and known as geomancy. Ancient Egyptians have a similar body of knowledge. Much of this knowledge will be later collected by the Greek scholar Euclid, in his book the ‘Elements’ (12) for which John Dee will write a preface in the distant future.
SILBURY HILL, Wiltshire, England. A man-made earth structure covering 5 acres was built around this time at Silbury Hill, Wiltshire in England. Its purpose was for measuring time via the utilization of a Maypole, which set on the hill’s truncated top cast a shadow onto the plain below. (68)
By 2000 BCE the wanderers of the northern grasslands of Europe, known as the Great White Race, had settled on the Iranian Plateaux, which was called at the time, Eran or the land of the Aryans and from which come the names Iran and Iranian. Aryan is from the Sanskrit Arya, meaning noble. This Eranian group will eventually divide into the Medes and the Persians. The language of the Eranians is similar to Vedic India and may be from the same parent language as that of the Slavonic Teutonic, Celtic, Greek and Latin (Roman) races. (40)
Seers of India between now and 1500 BCE roam the forests and record their Hindu wisdom in writings known as the Upanishads which are among the oldest works of mysticism recorded in the world. (123) However, the Vedic period is dated earlier.
