for the naysayers, let me give you a hint of clues that have been left for us.
very few people realize, but the position of the great Pyramids are directly pointing to Orions Belt.
Now, pull up Google and get a location of the Sphinx in relation to the Pyramids.
Now point your Telescope right to that point...
This is a Dark Star, that isn't radiating light, you will spot it by the missing stars behind it...
I agree that it doesn't make sense that the southern hemisphere is the only place it can be spotted from, unless there is a reflection from a star that is not seen in the Northern Hemisphere...
Here is a good link for a zoomable image of Orion's belt...

Compare it to what you see through your telescope, you will notice the missing stars...
