Efrosyni Boutsikas of University of Kent and Clive Ruggles of University of Leicester‘s joint article ‘Temples, Stars, and Ritual Landscapes: The Potential for Archaeoastronomy in Ancient Greece’ published in AAJ is very much misleading. If thousands of Archaeoastronomists work for days and nights in any part of their selective land all over the world, they cannot find an inch of the land where such studies on stars can be carried out truthfully. I have read only the ‘Abstracts’ and that is enough for me to frame my opinion on this article.

Where was ancient Greece of these two scholars? Religion as written in the Bible is beyond the understanding of any European scholar today; they do not know where the land of the Bible exists now, and where all its events happened. How can they write on the stars and temples when they do not know the birth star of Jesus Christ and the Kingship star of David?

A scholar has to be mindful first on the Zodiac Signs and its twelve houses and their geographical situations before he or she takes up a subject like this. Do the scholars know Alcamann’s  ancient identity? Do they really know where Parthians’ country was? Have they seen this land either in Ptolemy’s or in Eratosthenes Maps?

Publication of such type of articles and books only create problems for the future scholars. Archaeoastronomical cannot contribute to better understanding of the role of astronomy; knowledge of cosmos requires study of cosmology itself and from the fragments of stones one cannot visualise one’s native place.

The day academic world will come to know that the Zodiac tables of the ancient world gives a real view of the geographical land assigned to its twelve houses, then knowledge on ancient world will dawn upon all of us.
