Is the Celtic Cross a navigation instrument?

[Papa]

I've been reading a website by an Author and Navigator named Crichton E M Miller. He claims that the Celtic Cross and other Crosses were instruments used by the ancients to build, navigate, and keep time.

"Crichton E M Miller discovered that the Celtic cross was really a combination of a wheel, a measure and a plumb line, he patented the instrument and then began to unlock the mysteries that have baffled Mankind for generations.


Crichton E M Miller has rediscovered the reason the cross was of such importance to our ancestors. The working cross had allowed them to measure the earth and the stars, design pyramids, keep time and navigate the oceans of the world with simple astronomy and geometry.

The cross is the only form of instrument that could enable our ancient ancestors to build civilisations that lasted for thousands of years because what they observed and how they did it, allowed them to understand the awesome powers of Nature, cause and effect, order and chaos and the recurring cycles of Time."

When he came to this realization he patented a working Celtic cross which can be used for navigation, time keeping and, and building structures. Everything I'm reading at this site makes perfect sense and seems plausible but It would be great if someone who knows more than I do in regards to Astronomy or Archeology (or experience with Navigation equipment or doing site surveys) could look at this site and point out any glaring errors or poke some holes in it.



One of the other interesting things that stuck in my head after reading this stuff was that he thinks he knows what tools the Egyptians used as far as surveying and aligning the pyramids. Inside the queens chamber when the first shaft was opened there was found a stone ball, a double brass hook, and a shaft or rod with markings indicating cubit units . He was able to construct an instrument that had the same degree of accuracy (3 arc minutes)that the pyramids exhibit.

I hope some of you find this interesting and thought provoking.
