I was browsing through some notes on Chacmultun – to my tastes, it’s a rather fascinating Mayan city, and we have the great fortune that George Andrews gathered some data on it and that it is available to us, although I admit to not yet having the firmest grasp on whether or not Andrew’s data was gathered before or after reconstructive efforts by archaeologists that took place there that could have altered some of the original measurements.
I would be happy to come up with something on Chacmultun that I felt certain enough about to share.
There’s an intriguing thing in my notes.
There is a certain number which often enough tries to pass itself off as an approximation of Venus’ Orbital Period – it even belong to a few important exponential series – but thus far fails because (thankfully) there is a limit on an already dizzying number of VOP values because of the formula Half Venus Cycle / (1 / (Pi^2 x 12)) = Venus Orbital Period, which means that pushing the VOP values up past 225 is going to try to push the Half Venus Cycles up past 19000, and there are enough as it is that are under 19000.
Nonetheless, the number is something, even if no one knows offhand what it really represents, and I’ve started wondering if I though designate it “Not Venus” to be better able to discuss it without it being confused with a Venus Orbital Period value.
The number is 225.321037, and we know that it is something because it is 2 / SRVS (Square Root of the Volume of a Sphere)
2 / 887.6223994 = 225.321037
It’s lot of things actually – it’s also 24 Remens / (360^2), and it may be usefully in astronomy because 9 / 225.321037 = 399.4300797 / 10^n, and 399.4300797 is still though to be the B value for the Jupiter Synodic Period.
Thus we are fairly likely to run into it, but as far as know we should be careful to not mistake it for a representation of the VOP.
The curious thing in my notes on Chacmultun though about this “Not Venus” (?) number is as follows:
Chacmultun is one of those Mayan sites where I’ve long suspected they are using the columns to create geodetic expressions. One example of a how a thing like this might be done is to use a square or rectangular capital atop the column that has a width on 2 or 4 sides of about 2.490110742 feet, and a column with diameter of 2 units, so that the circumference is 2 Pi, which breaks down the standard primary equatorial circumference value 24901.19724 into a stunning series which was much better recognized when encountered at Tikal a few years ago.
That discovery helped to better illuminate where such geodetic figures were hiding in the Great Pyramid, but I might bore readers if I tell that story in detail again.
The strange thing in my notes is that 225.321037 has exponential value, and it is related to geodetic values as well as values from astronomy (calendars).
Correct decimal placement aside a moment
24901.19742 x 225.321037^1 = 5.610763626 = (see Cahokia Rattlesnake Mound in Munck’s materials)
24901.19742 x 225.321037^2 = 12642.23079 = 63.21115395 x 2 = 31.60557698 x 4 = 1.580278849 x 8
24901.19742 x 225.321037^3 = 2.848560550 = 1.424280275 x 2
(360 / 2.848560550) = 1.263796200; 1.263796200 x 4 = 5.055184802 = 224.8373813^2
2.848560550 x 4 = (1.067438159^2)
2.848560550 x (2 Pi)^2 = 224.9133259 / 2
2.848560550 / 360 = 24858.38047 / Pi
2.848560550 / 1.676727943 = 1.698880586 = 2 / 1.177245771
Pi / 2.848560550 = 1.102870239
2.848560550 / 1.351926225 = 4 / 18983.99141
(2.848560550 continues to divide by 1.351926225 (1.351926225 = 1 / Squared Munck Megalithic Yard))
Notice that at the third power, 225.321037 links the Equatorial Circumference figure 24901.19742 (miles) to twice the Tikal Wonder Number 1.424280275
There may be numerous important roles for 225.321037, but not much is yet known about it because of all the attention lavished instead on a collection of figures that are viable values for the Venus Orbital Period. They’ve been – and still are – almost a plateful in themselves.
I also thought this was interesing because of
24901.19742 x 225.321037^2 = 12642.23079 / 10
1264.223079 appears to be part of the measurements of the “Giza Blueprint” — i.e., 1264.223079 x 12 = 15170.67695 inches to Petrie’s raw value of 15170.4 inches as the N-S distance between the apex of Cheop’s pyramid, and the apex of Mycerinus’ pyramid.
