Did the Greeks build their temples to face the rising sun?
crunch
The debate rages on with a new study by Alun Salt of the University of
Leicester. “There are quite a few temples in Greece which don’t face
sunrise, so a few archaeologists have published that there’s nothing
significant about the number that do face East. The problem is that no
one has ever said what a significant number would be,” he explained.

" “Just saying that Greek temples are oriented towards the Sun
is not enough,” she said. “We need to say why this would
have been important to the Greek cults and what this
importance would have been.” "
" In Greece itself, the less consistent orientation of
temples could reflect local geographical circumstances, or
the way temples were often built on top of older shrines
that were laid out according to a different cosmological and
religious system."
That shows that orientation was not important.
BTW, my toilet is oriented towards the setting sun.

It would be strange if ancient buildings didn't take advantage of natural
light and good views (both views out of, and views of the building from
somewhere else) and also defend against unwanted wind - sometimes one
requirement will outweigh the others. Sometimes the nature of the ground
itself will dictate where the building's weight has to stand.
When a solar alignment was important to the builders, it's usually pretty
obvious still; eg the Abu Simbel temples and Newgrange. But that doesn't
mean that it was important for any better reason than a good show, such as
the morning light shining on the altar in a medieval European Christian
church or the 'north light' for an artist's studio or a modern factory. It
doesn't mean that 'sun worship' had anything to do with it.

Without your attempts at domination there may be a chance of something

In several thousand of David's posts, nothing worthwhile has emerged yet.

This one is a good example. Pointing to a newspaper piece,
talking about a non-existent 'raging debate', quoting a
small part that does not justice to the article, followed
by insults and the expectations that others do what he
himself should have done in the first place if there
was a need to do that.
A good show of disinterest in the subject at the most.
And then Eric picking the wrong moment to attack me,
only because 'astronomical alignment' is one of his

Homer seems to have Trinacria (Sicily) and surroundings (Circe as
daughter of Helios) as the domain of the sun god. Maybe just because
the sun sets in the west. Otherwise perhaps alluding to local customs,
which the Greeks then adopted with the orientation of their sancuaries
there?

I always post under my own name; I never use a
false identity.

Peter Alaca's dishonesty is there for all to see while
Eric Stevens' honesty and informative contribution to sci.arch
make him above reproach in my eyes.

Yes, you not only like a good thrash, but also a good arse to lick.

You are not the man you pretend to be; you have been
exposed. I give you more training in archaeology than
myself but it is worthless without honesty. Honesty is
the best policy. Just make the change from now on
and forgiveness is yours.

You seem to be not lost for words: only meaningful content.

Seriously?
Says the person who posted as Carl.
Says the person now posting as crunch.
Says the person using someone else's email address.

Just for giggles, since I refuse to read all of the 36 posts on this
thread, is the original paper from PLoS.

Abstract Top
Despite its appearing to be a simple question to answer, there has
been no consensus as to whether or not the alignments of ancient Greek
temples reflect astronomical intentions. Here I present the results of
a survey of archaic and classical Greek temples in Sicily and compare
them with temples in Greece. Using a binomial test I show strong
evidence that there is a preference for solar orientations. I then
speculate that differences in alignment patterns between Sicily and
Greece reflect differing pressures in the expression of ethnic
identity.

Yes; as usual you fail to pay sufficient attention
to detail.

That's my middle name; it is not false; it was
some time ago. Why do you bring ancient
history up? My full name has ALWAYS been
in my Google Account profile.
> Says the person now posting as crunch.
Yet, I have explained many times on usenet
that "Crunch" is my childhood nickname; it is
not false; why do you bring it up?
> Says the person using someone else's email address.
My yahoo email account, based on my late father's account,
was cancelled last June. This has NOTHING to do with my
usenet posts which as a matter of policy I sign with "David
Christainsen".
I conclude that Paul Murray is not a serious person and
I certainly will not waste my time from now on in correspondence
with such a dead-end.

will you start posting as "Asshole" your new nickname?
