north-south meridian. The Northern Cross appears in many mythologies and is<br />
associated with a swan. The Southern Cross became the ‘pole star’ <strong>of</strong> the south<br />
while the Northern Cross star Denab was the real pole star in between 16.000 BC<br />
and 15.000 BC.<br />
In his book ‘The Cygnus Mystery’, Andrew Collins explains how the Northern<br />
Cross constellation Cygnus was once venerated around the world in ancient<br />
times, a veneration that can be dated back to at least 15.000 BC. According to<br />
Collins Cygnus must have been very important to the ancients since around the<br />
world sites are aligned to this constellation. Most <strong>of</strong> these sites were also aligned<br />
to the solstice Sun. We just mention a few <strong>of</strong> the examples that Collins mentions<br />
in his book:<br />
• <strong>Great</strong> Circle Henge in Newark,Ohio, summer solstice alignment, central bird image<br />
• Olmec site La Venta, alignment to summer solstice, Big Dipper and Sadr (Cygnus)<br />
• Cuzco Peru, winter solstice alignment, celestial Puma represents Cygnus<br />
• Avebury (UK), summer solstice and alignment to the setting <strong>of</strong> Sadr (Cygnus)<br />
• Newgrange (Ireland), winter solstice and alignment to Sadr (Cygnus)<br />
Although he mentions the ecliptic-Milky Way crossing once in his book, Andrew<br />
Collins is convinced that the ancients worshipped Cygnus because it represented<br />
first <strong>of</strong> all the cosmic axis and secondly the ancients somehow intuitively<br />
understood that Cygnus was important with respect to human evolution.<br />
Scientists discovered that Cygnus X-3 is a microblazer, a star that emits cosmic<br />
rays that penetrate deep into the Earth itself. This cosmic radiation may be a<br />
driving force behind human evolution, a notion now supported by some scholars<br />
and may explain why the ancients saw the Cygnus constellation and the Dark Rift<br />
as the abode <strong>of</strong> the gods, the underworld to which the soul ascended after dead<br />
according to Collins.<br />
I believe that what in fact Collins has been discovering is the interest <strong>of</strong> the<br />
ancients <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Great</strong> <strong>Celestial</strong> <strong>Conjunction</strong>s and the alignment <strong>of</strong> the Sun with<br />
the Milky Way at solstices (Galactic Alignment). Take a look at the picture below.<br />
