A similar experience was had when Wilson and I went to locate the structures associated with M42 and M43. These are the stars that make up Orion's dagger or sheath. Once again the GPS led the way, however this time our horses had been replaced by a motorcycle.

The satellites led us to the western edge of Cairo, across an irrigation canal, and into a cabbage field. As we zig-zagged between the agricultural fields, an entourage of curious Egyptian farmers began to follow.

Again the distinctive, out-of-place stones were present, suggesting the remains of an ancient artificial structure, possibly still somewhere below. Suggesting also, that such a structure was likely of the Orion Pyramids' construction industry.

Similar to the Birak Al Khiyam region, there were several structures in which the limestone blocks had been incorporated. A helpful farmer said that the local buildings had been constructed of stones they had found while tilling the fields. The stones, he said, were scattered about the whole area - again, providing additional confirmation that a structure of some sort happened to have fallen on the terrestrial equivalent to a celestial body.

It is worthy of note that within 200 meters of the GPS focal point was a mosque. We were near sacred ground. However, any connection between the mosque and ancient ruins was not apparent.

Not yet, anyway.
