Naked-eye star observations possible in most parts of the world reveal two visible elements of the geometric framework described in Plato's Timaeus that could be easily visualized?(1) the great circle through Canopus, Sirius, and Vega (three of the six brightest visible stars); and (2) the Milky Way. The ecliptic north pole (green dot) can be visualized but not seen. It has long been recognized as the "north pole" of the sun's orbit around earth.
Ecliptic North Pole
Rhombs (diamond or lozenge shapes, often segmented into quarters) and rhombic "nets" and "webs" are found in artwork and story worldwide since the Paleolithic. The rhombic net within Plato's Universal Living Container of Being aligns perfectly with the Sun's path and divides it into 20 equal segments.
Each of the 20 geometric segments represents approximately 1300 years. 20 x 1300 (26,000 years) is the time it takes for Earth's axial north "pole" to trace a complete circle around the ecliptic north pole. Earth's long gyroscopic wobble is known as precession, and the position of the north pole enacts a cyclic drama in time as it moves step-by-step through the polar constellations which include (among others) Draco, the Little Bear, and Cepheus the King. This same drama is played out in greater detail at the ecliptic, the sun's apparent path backwards through the zodiac as a result of the precession of the zodiac. The June solstice sun aligns with the celestial meridian marking the pole star; in 1000 CE, the solstice sun (yellow dot) aligned with the "Sirius meridian."
The Milky Way arches across the celestial sphere, crossing the ecliptic at two places?between the constellations of Scorpio and Sagittarius (the position of June solstice in 10,700 BCE) and between Gemini and Taurus (the position of June solstice in 2300 CE). In almost every system of sky wisdom, the Sun's contact with the Milky Way at any time of year is a portent of intensely spiritual and sometimes violent interaction with ancestral and divine spirits. Plato's Critias explains events in the sky and on Earth that led to catastrophe that ensued in 10,700 BCE and ended in 9400 BCE with the sinking of Atlantis. Revelation is in many ways typical of widespread visualizations of the coming of a vengeful Lord (Orion) in a heavenly cosmic cube who will deliver justice and bring about the beginning of a new world as the June solstice sun fully enters the Milky Way.
