The milky Way

[Polly Helm]

After I gave my son the middle name of Orion, I later learned about the
connection of constellations's star pattern and the pyramids, the way they
were built to line up with Orion.  My memory of the facts is not quite
sharp, but I believe it's the Great Pyramid that has a shaft that leads from
a holy space within the pyramid that has a significant link to this
cellestial connection.  Thanks to all who are seeking more information on
the pre-Christian influences that led to the Camino's particular layout.  I
leave in May and will be wondering.........and wandering!
