FURTHER DATA

We have to continue to acquisite data but it is an huge mass. At this stage we have to chose directions in data space, we have to make hypothesis and collect further data.
 We have an hypothesis, an implicit one for the time being.
Among the objects we see around us one of the interesting ones is the Orion Belt. The 3 stars about which we have a great deal of rumor. Let us look at their data:

1- Al Nilam  (Epsilon Orionis) Distance = (approx.) 1300 l.y.( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epsilon_Orionis )
2- Mintaka (Delta Orionis) Distance = (approx.) 900 l.y. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_Orionis )
3- Al Nitak (Zeta Orionis) Distance = (approx.) 700 l.y. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeta_Orionis )

Further information may be found in Wikipedia or via Googling. We have to be careful about the inaccuracies of the distances we gave.
Three things are worth mentioning:
a- They are not on the same line as the figure would suggest. It is seen from their distances .
b- For speculations about them just enter "(plane of) belt stars of orion" .
c- The state of Egyptology against these speculations is briefly given in the following work: http://www.legon.demon.co.uk/de_33.htm
