So if it was indeed a lion and it's facing due east, and we know that things like processional cycles, processional numerology is deeply embedded here.

in many, many cultures all around the world.

This is one of the other key bits of context that seems to point to a consolidated origin point for knowledge and data of the cosmos and of geodetic data.

But knowledge of the procession of the equinoxes is one of those, which is basically you mark this by what constellation is behind the rising sun on the vernal equinox facing east.

So as we look east today, it's somewhere between the constellation of Pisces and Aquarius.

And it's a cycle that denotes or is due to the Earth's wobble.

So we have at least three motions of the planet.

We have the rotation of the Earth, so 24-hour cycle.

We have the orbit of the Earth around the sun.

365 and a quarter days.

And then you have the processional wobble.

There's a couple more actually.

And that is, and that is basically the earth as it spins, does this, it describes this little, like it's, it's, it's axis.

It describes a circle in space, which changes the constellation.

And it's, it's, it's a cycle that takes around 26,000 years, 25,920 is the typical description for it.

And what that means is the backdrop of stars is,

you know, as we're looking at any time is slowly changing.

It changes only one degree every 72 years.

So if you're looking at the horizon, like the width of your thumb over 72 years, basically relative to the sun, the constellations behind the sun shift.

So today it's
