I believe the pleiades match to be correct. I have
also been finding other things of significance that seem to have been ignored by
conventional views of history. Some of these I have shared whilst others I have
not for lack of proper supporting evidence. When one thing seems to slot into
place that is very shaky ground. When two things fit together it is marginally
interesting. When a whole sequence come together to build a picture then I have
to take notice. I have reasons for believing what Robert Teague has identified
and it's not just the fact that his jpeg maps to the VMS page. I do not as yet
have compelling evidence to put forward. At least not the sort that would
convince the more skeptical list members. More on this soon,
hopefully.

Hi all,
It seems to be generally accepted as fact that the 'doaro'
cluster of stars on f68r3 represents the Pleides, but I wonder why this
assumption is made. True, there are 7 stars in the picture and classically
there were 7 Pleaides, but the arrangement of the stars in the picture doesn't
really correspond with the true appearance of the stars in the cluster. In
fact visually there are usually more than 7 visible unless light pollution is
a problem - and I assume it was not at the time the VMS was
written.
Is there any other evidence that the 'doaro' cluster is the
Pleaides, or is it just an assumption that's persisted over the years? Given
that none of the other star layouts seem representative of anything, I wonder
if the doaro group was simply intended to look like the others but the artist
accidentally drew them too small!
Cheers,
Jon.
