The Cosmic Clock

The stars above you are not still. They wander - slowly, imperceptibly, but relentlessly. Night after night, century after century, the celestial dome rotates around an invisible point. And this point itself is moving.

The Wobbling Planet

Earth does not spin like a perfect sphere. It wobbles. Like a decelerating spinning top that gives one last swing before it falls, Earth's axis traces a cone in the sky.

[NASA Milankovitch] This wobble cycle - precession - lasts approximately 25,772 years. Almost 26 millennia until the axis returns to its original position.

The Greek Astronomer Who Saw It First

[Hipparchus] Around 130 BCE, the Greek astronomer Hipparchus noticed something strange: the star Spica had shifted about 2 degrees relative to the autumnal equinox - compared to records from 150 years earlier.

He had discovered precession.

What Hipparchus did not know: he had only seen a tiny slice of a cosmic clock. A clock whose complete cycle is longer than all of recorded human history.

The Wandering Pole Star

Today, our axis points to Polaris - the North Star. But it was not always that way.

5,000 years ago, Thuban in the constellation Draco was the Pole Star. The ancient Egyptians aligned the shafts of the Great Pyramid on it.

In 12,000 years, Vega will be the brightest star near the celestial pole - one of the brightest stars in the night sky.

And in another 14,000 years? Then the axis points to Polaris again. The circle closes.

The Zodiacal Ages

Precession shifts not only the Pole Star. It also shifts the point where the sun rises at the spring equinox - through all twelve constellations of the zodiac.

We live at the end of the Age of Pisces. The transition to Aquarius is approaching - or has already begun, depending on the calculation method.

The Milankovitch Cycles

Precession is not alone. It is part of a cosmic trio - the Milankovitch Cycles:

These three cycles overlap. Sometimes they reinforce each other. Sometimes they cancel each other out.

Science has proven: these cycles determine ice ages. Approximately every 100,000 years, Earth alternates between warm and cold phases.

The Half Cycle

Here is where it gets interesting.

Half of the precession cycle - approximately 12,860 years - marks a theoretical turning point. The Earth's axis has rotated 180 degrees relative to its position in the orbit.

If precession is a clock, then the half cycle is midnight.

And about 12,800 years ago...

The Number 72

The number 72 appears in many ancient cultures:

• 72 conspirators kill Osiris in Egyptian mythology
• 72 names of God in Jewish Kabbalah
• 72 virgins in Islamic paradise
• 72 years per 1 degree of precession movement

Coincidence? Or did the ancients know this cycle?

The Dendera Zodiac - a bas-relief from the Temple of Hathor, now in the Louvre - shows both Thuban and the region of today's Pole Star. Some scholars see in this knowledge of precession.

The scientific consensus remains skeptical. But the question stands.

What does this mean for the theory?

The RBI theory (Resonance-Based Infrastructure) postulates:

1. The pyramids were calibrated for a specific galactic configuration
2. They functioned optimally at a certain orientation of Earth's axis
3. After half a precession cycle, the calibration no longer "fits"
4. The system "detunes" - like a piano that has not been tuned for millennia

[RBI-Theorie] This connection is hypothetical. There is no scientifically established mechanism that explains how precession could influence a frequency system.

But the temporal coincidence is remarkable:

• Half the precession cycle: ~12,860 years
• The Younger Dryas event: ~12,800 years ago
• The difference: ~60 years
