The Orion Zone: Ancient Star Cities of the American Southwest

by Gary A. David

Ancient star lore exploring the mysterious location of Pueblos in the American Southwest, circa 1100 AD, that appear to be a mirror image of the major stars of the Orion constellation. Many readers are familiar with the correlation between the pyramids of Egypt and the stars of Orion. Beginning in 1100 A.D. on the Arizona desert, the Hopi constructed a similar pattern of villages that mirrors all the major stars in the constellation. "As Above, so Below." The Orion Zone explores this ground-sky relationship and its astounding global significance. Packed with diagrams, maps, astronomical charts, and photos of ruins and rock art, this useful guidebook decodes the ancient mysteries of the Pueblo Indian world.

Had no idea what I was getting into, thought it'd be about archeoastronomy...nothing could ve prepared me for a Hopi saying they think they're from Jerusalem but don't know what that is. I guess they're invited to my shabbat dinner table to explain more because what on earth?

The Orion Zone offers excellent alternative perspectives to ancient star interpretations. (Bernie Taylor, author - Before Orion: Finding the Face of the Hero).

Would have rated it higher except for the fact that for me it was slow read. Alittle to 'technical' for me. A lot of great info but I prefer an easier read.

The author's credible, meticulous research and detailed logic make this book a "must read" for anyone interested in the Hopi other-worldly connection. Fascinating stuff.
