The Sacred Vale and Alignments
The Sacred Vale
Between the rivers Swale and Ure in North Yorkshire, and bounded by Catterick in the North and Boroughbridge in the South, lies The Sacred Vale. This is a landscape of gigantic religious monuments (henges) stretching back over 5,000 years. The henges seem to be positioned along two alignments (ley lines) both leading to the Devil's Arrows at Boroughbridge.

Fig. 2: A more detailed view of the Thornborough alignment.
The three Thornborough Henges and the three Devil's Arrows are not in a straight line but in a 'dog-leg', a configuration which is also seen in the three Pyramids at Ghiza and the three stars of Orion's Belt.
"Researchers at Newcastle University have found the site is one of the earliest major monuments aligned to the constellation Orion. The 5,500-year-old earthworks, north of Ripon, and the Egyptian pyramids are thought to have been built to mirror Orion's Belt for its religious focus."

Figure 5 is Orion in the guise of an Egyptian Pharoah, striding the sky whilst invisibly linked to man's works on earth - the Great Pyramids of Ghiza. This is definitely the better story!
