The first time each year that the star Sirius becomes visible on the horizon just before dawn. Because the Earth slowly wobbles on its axis, the position of this rising shifts over centuries, so a building aligned to it can, in theory, be dated.

Researcher Bernie Taylor argues that Plato built his Atlantis story from real sources, including earlier writers and the ruins of Malta's ancient megalithic temples. He says Plato's dates were metaphor rather than fact, and he highlights Maltese features such as bull imagery and red-painted temples that match Plato's description. He also presents a star-based dating theory that would push the temples back to the era of Gobekli Tepe, far older than archaeologists currently accept.
