And at Angkor in Cambodia, for example, you have the bridge to Angkor Thom. And on that bridge, you have figures on both sides, sculpted figures, which are holding the body of a serpent. That serpent is Vazuki. And what they're doing is they're churning the milky ocean. It's the same metaphor of churning and turning that's defined in the story of Hamlet's Mill, of Amloddy's Mill.
There are 54 on each side. 54 plus 54 is 108. 108 is 72 plus 36. It's a precessional number, according to the work that Santillana and Van Deschen did. And the fascination with this number system and its discovery all around the world.

is one of the puzzles that intrigue me and suggest to me that we are looking at ancestral knowledge that was passed down and probably was passed down from a specific single common source at one time, but then was spread out very widely around the world.

It was an ever-present reality, and it was bright, and it was brilliant, and it was full of lights. It's inconceivable that the ancients would not have paid attention to it.

It was an overwhelming presence, and that's one of the reasons why I'm really confident that the constellations that we now recognize as the constellations of the zodiac were recognized much earlier, because it's hard to miss... when you pay attention to the sky, that the sun, over the course of the solar year, is month by month rising against the background of different constellations.

And then there's a much longer process, the process of precession, which takes that journey backwards, and where we have a period of 2,160 years for each sign of the zodiac. I think it would have been hard for the ancients to have missed that. They might not have identified the constellations in exactly the same way we do today. That may well be a Babylonian or Greek constellation,
