A Royal Tomb, a Hero Cult,
and the Birth of a Legend
VIDEOS
Walkthroughs and Simulations
Solar Cult Center
Walkthrough video of the solar cult center at Archangelo, Kokolata, in Kefalonia. It took me ten months to understand how this functioned. Once I did, I began to analyze other nearby Bronze Age sites with the sun in mind.
Cemetery as Solar Observatory
After discovering the use of the cult center, I examined a nearby cemetery initially built circa 1600 BC. To my surprise, it also functions as a solar observatory. I conclude the new elite that built this cemetery designed a Kurgan like cemetery with the function of a Agean/Minoan style peak sanctuary that marks solstices and equinoxes.
The Tzannata-
Kangelisses Connection
Does the grand tholos tomb at Tzannata share a solar connection with the cemetery at Kangelisses? In this video, I prove that indeed, it does. The two sites are aligned with the equinox.
The Constellation that inspired the Argo story
This is a wide angle panorama view (thus there is distortion) from Kangelisses. The view includes East to West, from Ainos to the Lakithra Peak. Argo's death and the reunion with Odysseus.
The Odyssey Riddle
I created this video to illustrate the wordplay found in the Odyssey. It needed to be written in Greek because the puns don't translate. It's a short video that I will use to introduce my book.
