Celestial Correspondence and Geometric Patterning: The Pleiades And the Bosnian Valley of The Pyramids

Abstract

This article investigates potential spatial correspondences between the astronomical configuration of the Pleiades star cluster and the distribution of summit points in the Bosnian Valley of the Pyramids. Drawing on LiDAR-based topographic data and comparative archaeoastronomical methods, the study examines straight-line alignments, triangular relationships, and spiral geometries embedded within the terrain. Key linear configurations include Taygeta– Maia–Alcyone and Moon–Earth–Dragon, as well as Electra–Alcyone–Pleione and Sun–Love–Dragon. The triangular arrangement formed by Maia–Electra–Merope is evaluated in evaluated in relation to the terrestrial triangle formed by the Sun, Moon, and Dragon pyramids. The Pleiades star cluster has held significant symbolic, agricultural, and calendrical meaning in ancient cultures across the globe, including those of the Maya, Ancestral Puebloans, Japanese, Maori, and Greeks. By integrating landscape geometry with stellar projection, the article offers a neutral, data-based framework for interpreting ancient spatial planning through cosmological reference models. All interpretations are supported by geodetic measurements, aerial survey data, and peer-reviewed sources.
