The location of "the throne of God" is one of the longest-held mysteries of the Book of Abraham—a mystery which begins to unfurl when you think of Kolob as Sirius.
To the ancient Sumerians, the constellation Cancer—more specifically, the Beehive Cluster—was the seat (or throne) of Anu, the supreme god of the sky. As a Sumerian, Abraham would've known this.
Cancer and Sirius rise in the east at almost exactly the same time. They are "near" to each other in the sky and in time. In fact, during the famous heliacal rise of Sirius, the Sun is in Cancer. Kolob is said to be the nearest "governing star" to the throne of God (see Abraham 3:2-3).
We depict Cancer as a Crab, but the ancient Egyptians called it a Scarab. This is important when we look at Facsimile 2...
Joseph Smith identified Figure 3 as "God, sitting upon his throne." But to be truthful, his copy of the hypocephalus was missing this part. Despite this, he apparently had some other symbols drawn there and said it was the throne of God anyway...
Fascinatingly, look at any other hypocephalus and you'll find a SCARAB in the exact same spot Joseph said was the throne of God. 
The Greek name for the Beehive Cluster is Praesepe, which means "manger"... MANGER...
Did the God of heaven descend from His manger on high to appear in a manger on Earth?

I argue that Facsimile 2 from the Book of Abraham is a mirror image of the night sky, looking eastward:
Fig. 1 is Sirius (Kolob)
Fig. 2 is Orion/Orion’s Belt (Oliblish)
Fig. 3 is Cancer/Scarab/Seat of Anu (throne of God)
Fig. 5 is the Sun in Virgo (see the woman holding the wheat?)
Fig. 6 is the Earth/horizon.
The Sun is beneath the horizon and has not yet risen. Sirius, Orion, and Cancer are in the act of ascending to their highest positions in the sky. A deceased person with their head resting on this hypocephalus would face east, and the figures engraved thereon would be a reflection of the actual stars in the sky in that direction.
Kolob being Sirius is a key 
that unlocks the Book of Abraham.

I’ve been researching the theory that Kolob = Sirius, and let me tell you—the evidence—most of which you’ve never heard before—is strong.
Here’s a sneak peek at my research.

Sirius has a “swifter” proper motion compared to other bright stars.
I’ve been looking into the theory that Kolob is Sirius lately, and here’s a small preview of my research…
The GAEL says Kolob is swifter than the rest of the governing stars. Turns out Sirius moves faster than most bright stars in the sky.
