King Arthur Pictured at Carn Bica Outcrop: Arthur's "Bedd" is the Circle of Precession

The hermetic planisphere at Pembrokeshire in Wales reveals to us the secret of one of the great so-called myths of Ancient Britain, namely the origin of the legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, which I have long alleged to be astronomical in substance.

We see now from my previous two decipherments of Carn Arthur and Carn Meini that the standing stones of Bedd Arthur are in fact "located" at King Arthur's "bed'", which is the fixed circle of precession, surely marked here at the star Pi Cephei.

The Tip of the "pyramid" of Cepheus -- surely the astronomical origin of the concept of "pyramid-building", if astronomy played a role at inception -- is marked by the star Gamma Cephai, known as Er Rai, thought to be of Arabic origin as Al Rai, the Shepherd, but more likely simply "Rex", "the King", since the King's Head is ordinarily said to be marked by the Cepheus stars of delta, epsilon, zeta and lambda (see Richard Hinckley Allen, Star Names, p. 158), but that is of course nonsense, since those are in the left corner of Cepheus at the base of the pyramid, and much too small in grouping to be the King's head, located also right where Cepheus connects to the river of the Milky Way.

What our decipherment of the hermetic planisphere of Pembrokeshire, Wales suggests then is that a most singular outcrop of Carn Bica provides us with nothing less than a sculpture of King Arthur's head personally (see the image above).

    Both book volumes contain the following basic book description:
    "Alice Cunningham Fletcher observed in her 1902 publication in the American Anthropologist
    that there is ample evidence that some ancient cultures in Native America, e.g. the Pawnee in Nebraska,
    geographically located their villages according to patterns seen in stars of the heavens.
    See Alice C. Fletcher, Star Cult Among the Pawnee--A Preliminary Report,
    American Anthropologist, 4, 730-736, 1902.
    Ralph N. Buckstaff wrote:
    "These Indians recognized the constellations as we do, also the important stars,
    drawing them according to their magnitude.
    The groups were placed with a great deal of thought and care and show long study.
    ... They were keen observers....
    The Pawnee Indians must have had a knowledge of astronomy comparable to that of the early white men."
    See Ralph N. Buckstaff, Stars and Constellations of a Pawnee Sky Map,
    American Anthropologist, Vol. 29, Nr. 2, April-June 1927, pp. 279-285, 1927.
    In our book, we take these observations one level further
    and show that megalithic sites and petroglyphic rock carving and pictographic rock art in Native America,
    together with mounds and earthworks, were made to represent territorial geographic landmarks
    placed according to the stars of the sky using the ready map of the starry sky
    in the hermetic tradition, "as above, so below".
    That mirror image of the heavens on terrestrial land is the "Sky Earth" of Native America,
    whose "rock stars" are the real stars of the heavens, "immortalized" by rock art petroglyphs, pictographs,
    cave paintings, earthworks and mounds of various kinds (stone, earth, shells) on our Earth.
    These landmarks were placed systematically in North America, Central America (Meso-America) and South America
    and can to a large degree be reconstructed as the Sky Earth of Native America."
