[ABSTRACT]
The Stellar Primacy: Reconstructing the Ursa Major-Minor Blueprint
of the 18th Dynasty Architecture
The
"Diamond" formation, the role of the Sphinx, and the vision of a
unified celestial-terrestrial machine.)
This model reverses the
traditional paradigm of cultural transmission. It argues that the stars were
not a canvas for human imagination, but the original, primary blueprint for
Egyptian civilization. The unmoving geometry of the circumpolar stars directly
generated the Egyptian language (The Akhet), temporal measurement (Amun-Ra) and
monumental architecture (The Obelisk).
The original Benben stone
was shaped like the top point (pyramidion) of the obelisk. The sacred Benben
stone of Heliopolis was a physical object which was made of crystal and kept in
the temple of Ra. It was an artistic stylization of the primordial mound that
first emerged from the dark waters of Nun at the dawn of Egyptian creation.
Architectural Evolution
The shape of the stone was
adapted over several centuries to create the iconic solar monuments. The
pyramid was a full-scale monument to emulate the pointed shape of the original
primeval mound. The "pyramidion" (Benbenet) was the capstone of a
pyramid or obelisk. The obelisk was viewed as a sacred Benben stone placed atop a soaring pillar of
light.
The rounding evolution of
the Benben stone shares a profound symbolic link with the iconography of the
Akhet (the horizon) and the sacred geography of ancient Egypt. The transition
from a sharp-angled pyramidion to a rounded, dome-like form reflects the desire
to merge two critical solar and creation concepts.
SUMMARY: THE HATSHEPSUT CHRONOMETER
The 1:1 Scale: 1 Royal Cubit
(RC) = 1 Degree (°) of Sky.
The 1.03° Slope: The
precessional "key" tuned to 1470 BCE.
The 21-Cubit Gap: Mirroring
the 21° angular distance of the stars.
The 50-Cubit Height:
Matching the 50° stellar altitude at the 55-minute mark.
The 65-Cubit Shadow: The
solstice "circuit closer" linking the 15° Menkaure Spark.
THE GEOMETRY OF PRECISION
The defining feature of this
chronometer is the 1.03° slope. In Egyptian mathematics, this is expressed as a
horizontal run of a half-digit for every one royal cubit of rise. This was the
mechanical "fine-tuning" required to evolve the broad stability of
the Giza pyramids into a dynamic tracking system. By accounting for the 0.03°
precessional deviation, the architects ensured the monument remained calibrated
to the specific stellar drift of Hatshepsut's 16th-year Jubilee.
THE CELESTIAL DIAMOND AND
THE SPHINX
The system was calibrated
against a "Diamond" formation linking the Big and Little Dippers,
pivoting on the star Megrez. This formation acted as a dual-geared clock: an
"Upper Egypt" triangle sweeping the wide hours of Ra, and a
"Lower Egypt" triangle (pointing to the void of Atum) providing high-frequency
minute increments.
On the ground, the Sphinx
served as the terrestrial anchor. By anchoring the "legs" of the
stellar Sphinx to Psi Ursae Majoris, the architects welded the soil of Egypt to
the geometry of the sky. The 32 lines of inscription on the obelisk pedestal
functioned as a Vernier Scale, allowing priests to read the 55-minute interval
as the shadow or plumb line "clicked" across the hieroglyphic grid.
CONCLUSION: THE UNIFIED
FIELD
The Hatshepsut Chronometer
represents the pinnacle of ancient observational science. By bridging the
65-cubit shadow with the 15° Menkaure Spark, the 18th Dynasty succeeded in
creating a unified field model of time and space. The obelisk was the final
evolutionary step of the pyramid: a vertical meridian that allowed the Queen to
command a machine that synchronized the desert floor with the very center of
the "Indestructible" stars.

THE STELLAR QUADRATURE MODEL ©
In the eighteenth dynasty
of Hatshepsut's reign, the NCP was in a particularly "empty" region of
the sky, roughly halfway between the former pole star (Thuban) and the
current one (Polaris). Using a two-stage horizontal leveling like this
would allow a surveyor to:
1. Mark a baseline when Kochab and Pherkad are level.
2. Confirm the meridian an hour later when Zeta and Eta are level.
If
the center point of both measurements remained identical, the surveyor
could be confident they had found the true, invisible North.
The stars point to Ta Sun 太尊 or the "Royals" asterism in the Purple Forbidden Enclosure.

The
symbol of the Great Sphinx dates back at least to around the time of
Pharaoh Khafre in the Old Kingdom. The year was around 2500 BCE which
marked the time of pyramid building. The Sphinx served a ceremonial and
protective role by acting as a guardian of funerary complexes.
Khafre
believed his soul would ascend to the star Sirius known as Sopdet. It
is the brightest star in the night sky. It was associated with the
goddess Isis who symbolized rebirth and regeneration.
It is
generally accepted that the Great Sphinx is not an imaginary concept. It
emerges from a combination of historical significance, cultural
symbolism and mythology. Its existence reflects the values and beliefs
ot its creators. This means it is a profound emblem rather than a mere
figment of imagination. This is a block description.

Description
The obelisks are stretched between the Little Dipper (Ursa Minor) and the Big Dipper (Ursa Major) anchoring the structures to the very "axle" of the sky. By aligning Khufu with the center axis on Megrez and its flank on Phecda creates a rigid, geometric link to the "bowl" of the Great Bear. Targeting the center axis on Thuban (the former North pole star in the Draco Constellation invokes the "Old Kingdom" era when these pyramids were actually built effectively to sync the structures with their original stellar clock. By casting Menkare as a "shoot" of raw potential at the 51-52 degree slope (the actual slope of the Great Pyramid, the "spent" stability of the old monuments is contrasted with a rising generative force. The shared center between the Khufu and Khafre obelisks suggest a unified consciousness from which the younger, more potent Menkaure breaks away to initiate a new cycle.

Mao Yushi 毛雨诗 UNIRULE 天则经济研究所
祝毛玉熙97岁生日快乐！
Happy 97th Birthday Anniversary to Mao Yushi!
MAO Yushi, HONG Sheng: The Peach Tree

The Unirule Institute of Economics (天则经济研究所); Tiānzé Jīngjǐ Yánjiūsuǒ)
UNIRULE was founded in July 1993. It was located in Zhongguancun, Beijing which is often referred to as "China's Silicon Valley". This was about 3-5 kilometers away from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) where D. Carlton Rossi taught doctoral students in 1993 and onward. The proximity of UNIRULE to CAS facilitated collaboration and interaction between the two institutions, especially in research and policy discussions. MAO Yushi, HONG Sheng were two of the original founders. Both played important roles in shaping economic policies among government officials and social discourse with the public.
Note: On their website, Unirule is translated as "Tianze". It says “Unirule” (or “Tianze” in Chinese) is a name with its meaning originally stemming from the words in Shi Jing, an ancient Chinese [Book of Songs], which says: “as the universe is created by the God, there have to be rules for it”. Thus, “Unirule” stands for Universal rules that in reality govern economic and other fields."

One of the stars called (大尊) or Psi Ursae Majoris of the Great Bear Constellation is located on the far left. Allen interpreted 大尊 to mean “extremely honorable” by using the Wade-Gilles system. It was formerly one of the Royals in a Chinese constellation called Wuanyuan or Yellow Emperor. Psi Ursae Majoris points directly to the Alpha star called Regulus which is at the heart of the modern constellation called Leo.

This poem or l'image© is part of The Elegant Celestial Giza Series©.
For special purposes, the poet has classified this poem as Chinese. It is Chinese because the poet originally drew a version of it in 2014 while in China. It is Chinese because it is dedicated to SUN Dawu 孙大午 or The Great Noon. It is Chinese because the title 孙大午: 大尊 天空的 狮头人像© is in Chinese. However, the most important reason is because the I'mage© includes a special star. This star which is visible to the naked eye is outside of the Big and Little Dipper asterisms as well as the Pole Star known as 11 Draconis (Flamsteed designation) or Thuban. The star is Psi Ursae Majoris (大尊) within the Great Bear Constellation. This star is located at the tip of the paw. The name was possibly derived from the word 太尊, Tàizūn, meaning Royals, because this star stands alone as the only member of the Royals asterism within the Purple Forbidden enclosure. This I'mage © is the only one in the Great Bear Constellation as opposed to the Draco Constellation. The I'mage © symbolizes the Chinese and now universal Mandate of Heaven.

社会上有能力的人多，有道德的人少，有道德又有胸怀的人更少。所以有能力的人要修身，提高自己的道德修养和道德水准，有道德的人要提高自己的胸怀。所以，挣钱靠能力、发展靠道德，要干事业靠胸怀。
There are many capable people in society, few people with morality, and even fewer people with morality and mind. Therefore, capable people should cultivate their moral character and improve their moral standards and those with morality should improve their minds. Therefore, earning money depends on ability, development depends on morality, and career depends on mind.

Second Appeal of Sun Dawu 孙大午
A REUTERS SPECIAL REPORT
A billionaire pig farmer fights his conviction from behind bars as tycoons face crackdown in China
By DAVID LAGUE
Sept. 10, 2024
In a handwritten submission from his prison in rural northern China, billionaire pig and chicken farmer Sun Dawu implored the court to hear his appeal. He was serving an 18-year sentence on charges including corruption. There was far more at stake than his own unjust conviction, the 70-year-old tycoon wrote in his Nov. 16 plea.
Without his leadership, the business he’d built for decades would collapse, he warned. His company, Hebei Dawu Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Group, had more than ten thousand employees.
If his appeal was delayed, “the enterprise will be completely wrecked,” he wrote in the legal document, seen by Reuters. “I don’t think this is what leaders of the court, party committees and governments at all levels want to see.”
