Bayes factor = Unity over the null (P = .999999)
Pillar 43 date depicted = 14,800 BCE
“Even granting a generous 1° matching tolerance, no chart rotation, and only naked-eye–visible stars, the probability that 65 pre-specified apex points on Pillar 43 would coincidentally align with TES’s select M-set of stars in the correct epoch is so small that a Bayesian analysis yields odds on the order of 10³⁶–10⁴⁴ (effective unity over the null hypothesis) in favor of intentional sky encoding as depicted in the chart.
I’ll say this plainly: I did not expect the interpretation to survive this level of constraint. Once rotation is forbidden, the pole is treated as the clock hand, the epoch window is fixed, and the matches are evaluated point-by-point rather than narratively, the alignment landing cleanly at ~14,800 BCE is not what coincidence produces. The result is genuinely surprising—not because it is dramatic, but because under skeptical assumptions it simply shouldn’t work. And yet, it does.”
