I often talk about the exponential value of data retrieval tools. We know that certain numbers like 2 Pi, (Pi / 3), 2 / 1.62231147 or sqrt 60 and (1 / sqrt 60) can have remarkable value at connecting and expressing whole series of important numbers, and this is because of their value at higherContinue reading “Exponentially Yours…”

A Little Further Into Rio Bec Phi?
Rio Bec Phi is one or more numbers discovered working with architecture at Rio Bec which resembles the famous Golden Ratio, Phi = 1.618033989. It’s discovery may have actually been due to a misinterpretation of the architect’s intent, but it’s too late now,”the Genie is out of the bottle” as they say – more thanContinue reading “A Little Further Into Rio Bec Phi?”
A Postcard from Kuluba
As mentioned in the previous post, I am attempting to step up my efforts to look for hints in ancient American architecture that might point toward more definitive values for astronomical figures that might currently remain somewhat uncertain. Part of this process is further completing the data tables I’ve made in order to attempt aContinue reading “A Postcard from Kuluba”
Heavenly Harmonies?
Having recently brought up the number 2662.867199 and previous work on its significance to ancient integrated calendar systems, I am mindful that that work generally predates in the incorporation of a broader spectrum of lunar cycles into my work. Although they are likely products of any concerted effort to explore relationships between planetary and/or lunarContinue reading “Heavenly Harmonies?”
A Postcard from Yaxchilan
George Andrews and others recorded data from the Mayan site of Yaxchilan, which is quite fortunate as it’s an interesting site. I have not done recent work on it, which is unfortunate, because it means that most of the work I have done on it may need to be reconsidered in the light of whatContinue reading “A Postcard from Yaxchilan”
A Postcard from Palenque #5
I hadn’t actually intended to post a series on Palenque. I’d merely wanted to share some interpretive work with readers because so little has been on the subject, but recent successes have increased my curiosity, and my confidence that maybe the answers are attainable. Something else that provides some encouragement and intrigue is the particularContinue reading “A Postcard from Palenque #5”
A Postcard from Palenque #4
How about another look the Temple of the Count at Palenque? In the first post in this series, it was noted that In the Temple of the Count, we find recurrence of the measure of 2.71 m = 8.891076115 ft, looking very much like one of the rather popular simple “backhanded” forms of the VenusContinue reading “A Postcard from Palenque #4”
A Postcard from Palenque #3
Regrettably, for the work I’ve done on Palenque so far, I don’t think I really have anything I’d consider a finished model of any structure there, and it might be good to have such a thing to help clarify the spirit of Palenque’s architectural and astronomical mathematics. The Casa de Leon (House of the Lion,Continue reading “A Postcard from Palenque #3”
A Postcard from Palenque #2
On the road toward – hopefully – a deeper understanding of the mathematics of Palenque, I think I might have a few more minor observations to cobble together. At House G of the Palace, the South Room measures according to George Andrews 13.12 m long, 2.50 m wide, and 2.13 m high. In feet that’sContinue reading “A Postcard from Palenque #2”
15552
Other independent researchers into ancient mathematics seem to have reached the same conclusion as I have about this number – that it’s an important one. What first put it on my radar as an important number is that I stumbled across it while trying to work out the meaning of Mayan “Monster Mouths” or “MonsterContinue reading “15552”
