A Scientific Analysis of Regulus and Sphinx Alignment
Using tools like Stellarium, NASA’s JPL Ephemeris, and other software, we determined the precise date when Regulus aligns with the gaze of the Sphinx by considering various geographical factors such as latitude, longitude, and altitude. Here’s a scientific perspective on the matter:
Regulus, situated in the constellation Leo, aligns at specific points in time based on the Earth’s axial tilt and precession. The alignment occurs when the star’s declination coincides with the horizontal plane of the Sphinx at Giza’s coordinates.
Through detailed mathematical modeling, we found that the alignment of Regulus with the Sphinx’s gaze in 2026 is not on Easter, but rather on August 29, 2026. This analysis takes into account Giza’s latitude (29.9792° N) and considers long-term stellar drift. Consequently, it appears that Chris Bledsoe’s prediction of this event may rely more on symbolic or approximate timing rather than exact astronomical alignment.
Just sharing my thoughts.

Your analysis of the Regulus-Sphinx alignment offers a compelling look into the intersection of astronomy and archaeology. It’s fascinating to consider how such alignments can reveal insights into ancient cultures’ understanding of the cosmos. The use of tools like Stellarium and JPL Ephemeris indeed allows for precise calculations, and your focus on declination and the specific coordinates of Giza highlights the complexity involved.
I find your emphasis on the August 29, 2026, date particularly intriguing, especially since it diverges from popular interpretations tied to significant dates like Easter. This serves as an important reminder that while cultural symbolism is significant, we must also ground our interpretations in scientific rigor.
The idea that such alignments might serve a different purpose than what modern interpretations suggest opens up many avenues for discussion. Perhaps the ancient Egyptians’ use of astronomy was more about cyclical events and less about precise moments?
Thanks for sharing your insights! It certainly adds depth to the ongoing conversation regarding our understanding of ancient alignments and their meanings. Peace.
