Scientists
may be closer to revealing the route taken by Hannibal as he crossed the Alps
to attack ancient Rome.A team says they have found a churned up layer of soil
at an Alpine pass near the French-Italian border that dates to the time of
Hannibal's invasion. In Archaeometry journal, they say the disturbed sediment
was rich in microbes that are common in horse manure. Hannibal's third century
BC campaign is seen as one of the greatest military endeavours in antiquity. He
was commander-in-chief of the Carthaginian army during its second war with Rome
(218-201 BC). Carthage was located in present-day Tunisia and was Rome's main
military rival at the time. April 5 http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-35969107

here is the lunar eclipse chart drawn for Oxford, UK from where the Archaeometry
journal is published. The lunar eclipse of March 23 continues to surprise us with
its influence on a host of recent events. A connection between these events cannot be understood unless we recognize
that astrology is symbolic and that symbols can work in several ways. In a
recent post [1] we spoke about the
combination Hades-Kronos as leaders involved in ‘dirty business’ or corruption
in high places. Here the same combination will give us “dung on a mountain”.
But Kronos is also an authority figure and Hades is “things from the distant
past” so that combination can be referring to Hannibal – a great general from the past.
The Transeptunian Points (TNPs)
KRONOS :
Superiority: the highest quality attainable; the ultimate in authority;
standard of excellence; undisputed expert. However, Kronos can also indicate
tall structures, mountains, the height
reached by airplanes - generally, highly situated places.
HADES
Decomposition, defect, disintegration, garbage, dung; things from the
distant past
Let us
remember that every detail of a mundane chart is significant. Here the TNPs
Hades-Kronos are placed in the 12th house. Among the various things
ruled by the 12th house we have:
It rules great
cattle, such as horses, oxen, elephants, of which Ezra notes
"Those which serve as a mount for men". http://www.skyscript.co.uk/temples/h12.html
So we have
horse and elephant dung on the Alps!
Coin of Antiochus VII with
Dioskouri – the Warrior horsemen
Finally, we
note that Hades [3cn] is conjunct the star Tejat, eta Geminorum of the Gemini
Twins. In Greek and Roman mythology, Castor and Pollux or Polydeuces were twin
brothers, together known as the Dioskouri. Castor and Pollux are warriors and are consistently
associated with horses in art and literature. They are widely depicted as
helmeted horsemen carrying spears[2]. How strange that the star involved adds
another detail – a warrior’s horse is involved!
