Book Description

March 2007
Ancient star lore exploring the mysterious location of Pueblos in the American Southwest, circa 1100 AD, that appear to be a mirror image of the major stars of the Orion constellation. Many readers are familiar with the correlation between the pyramids of Egypt and the stars of Orion. Beginning in 1100 A.D. on the Arizona desert, the Hopi constructed a similar pattern of villages that mirrors all the major stars in the constellation. "As Above, so Below." The Orion Zone explores this ground-sky relationship and its astounding global significance. Packed with diagrams, maps, astronomical charts, and photos of ruins and rock art, this useful guidebook decodes the ancient mysteries of the Pueblo Indian world.

The 2008 sequel is titled Eye of the Phoenix: Mysterious Visions and Secrets of the American Southwest.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enlightened Wisdom from Our Ancient Ancestors, May 16, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Orion Zone: Ancient Star Cities of the American Southwest (Paperback)
Gary A. David provides an abundance of research and incredible history between Arizona and Egypt in relation to the skymaps of the Orion Constellation with the Hopi-Egyption connection. David's methodical, insightful book reveals the numerous reasons why I relocated to Arizona to live in the Orion Zone among the Ancient Star Cities in the American Southwest. The Orion Zone is a diligent read with plentiful rewards of knowledge and wisdom.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful gateway into the mysteries of the Southwest and our planet., May 19, 2008

Roy W. Lohr "Hopi 2" (Truth or Consequences, NM, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Orion Zone: Ancient Star Cities of the American Southwest (Paperback)
"The Orion Mystery" opens new possibility's of understanding the global implications of precession and the Great Year. What was the knowledge held by the Ancients? How can the re-awakening of this knowledge help us change the course of history? David's second book "Eye of the Phoenix", extends this understanding. Well worth reading both of these exciting and challenging works.

3.0 out of 5 stars The Lost Advanced Cultures of Arizona, September 20, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Orion Zone: Ancient Star Cities of the American Southwest (Paperback)
With intrepidation one picks up a book like this. Will it contain real research or a mish mash of strange musings and theories with no science? David brings together a wealth of information on the cultures of the Southwest and the mysteries they have left us. The ancient fascination with Orion and the aligning of structures is nothing new. However, this has been little explored in the Americas. Yes, there is that concern of drawing lines and connecting dots where no correlations exist. There is a lot of speculation in this book as the author tries to fill in blanks and he admits as much.

Of course, did we need the suggestion that maybe the myths are referring to aliens? Must it always come to that? Isn't it enough that the ancients' lives were intertwined with nature and the stars? Is the worldwide fascination with Orion evidence of some secret, lost civilization? Or is just because Orion is so obvious and visible in the sky? Many would disagree that "life forms are probably ubiquitous throughout the universe" (see Rare Earth: Why Complex Life Is Uncommon in the Universe & The Creator and the Cosmos) nor were there aliens at Roswell (Roswell and the Reich). And the supposed foreknowledge of unseen stars by the Dogon of Mali has been proven false. And really, did we need to shoehorn the Templars in here?.

So while David sometimes tries to include too much and make too many connections, one can still find this a perfect primer for the lost cultures of the Southwest and appreciate their sophistication. For more on this subject, try Stairways to the Stars: Skywatching in Three Great Ancient Cultures
