Temple of Solomon

Want to see some crazy? Checkout The Temple of Solomon:

"Noting that the Star of Bethlehem and the capstone of The Great Pyramid are both ancient astrological configurations, this site attempts to document discoveries that may provide solutions for mysteries that have puzzled humanity for eons".

"Astroarchaeologist John Charles Webb, Jr., has done extensive mathematical and astronomical research in order to identify the Star of Bethlehem and discover the birth date of Christ." From The Cover Story, "In Pursuit of the Birth-Chart of Jesus", December 2000, Dell Horoscope Magazine,The World's Leading Astrology Magazine.

Basically he applies some kind of numerology to prove when Jesus was born, and where the capstone of the great pyramid is located, and other such stuff.

Don’t think about any of this too hard, it’s really not worth it, but see how he calculates when Jesus was born. If I’m reading him correctly, he uses the value of Pi (for no reason I can ascertain) to determine how many days prior to 1 Jan 0001 Jesus would have been born (don’t try to think why this would make sense – just bear with me for a bit). He determines it would be 4 years - 2 months - 18 days - 21 hours - 5 minutes - 40 seconds prior to 01-01-0001. He calculates this as February 18th 5 BC at 9:05:40 PM. Surely the 2 months - 18 days etc would be counted back from the end of the year (Dec 31) to give a date in October (Oct 11, I think)? He’s taken 5 full years off and then added the 2 months - 18 days to arrive at Feb 18. (Actually even that’s wrong – that way would be March 18.)

I know none of it makes sense but it doesn’t even add up. Or have I misunderstood it?

It is my opinion that in classical times, a strange star phenomenon was important when something big happened, so of course there had to be a new star when Jesus was born. The fact that nobody else noticed this star fits into the theory that the star was actually just made up to the occasion.

Well, I can see his problem plain as day. Pi = 3.
