RE: Eclipses - Magnificence & Mystery

Was that The Mystery of Chaco Canyon?

Fascinating doco, if not let me know, I missed something :)

I came across Anna Sofaer's work around the time I was able to do a couple sojourns to Chaco, circa 1990, just some papers at the time. Wasn't till I saw the doco years later that I grasped the extent of the 18.6 year lunar calendar embedded in the landscape design and architecture.

In the mid-1970s I read a book Mystery of Chartres Cathedral by Louis Charpentier, or Louie the Carpenter as I'd refer to him, which showed the Virgo / Notre Dame relationships. So nice to have the net to look these things up these days.

Here's a slide I'm working on for some planned workshops, the Virgo / Notre Dame images are scanned from my old paperback of Charpentier's work.

And the area of Virgo in the cosmos is most interesting, containing several direct challenges to standard cosmology. An upcoming post will discuss some of this:
