In the previous post, I mentioned the Sacred Cubit. It remains a neglected unit, probably for lack of certainty, but we might just have an important discovery on our hands. I work with a Sacred Cubit of 2.091411007 ft = 25.09693208 inches. This is based on Newton’s observations and figures. On examination, his Sacred CubitContinue reading “The “TMCQ”: Identified?”

The Valley of Kings: Some Initial Impressions
“Initial impressions” isn’t perfectly accurate – I have worked with Kent Weeks’ data for the Valley of Kings before on several occasions. There is little if anything I’d consider solved, but I wanted to see if the data made any convincing arguments for deliberate irregularity, since the rooms are often described as irregular, and IContinue reading “The Valley of Kings: Some Initial Impressions”
“585” – A New “Wonder Number”
Recently I wrote about approximations of an oversized Mercury Synodic Period of 117 days rather than a more accurate value of 116. 117 comes from more orthodox literature on Mayan calendars and discussion of the scant few surviving Mayan codices. Th same literature advises us of a variation on the Venus Synodic Period of 585Continue reading ““585” – A New “Wonder Number””
Mayan Calendars: 315 or Thereabouts
I probably shouldn’t be writing a post about 315, I’m not exactly an expert. It’s become an issue lately somehow, and I’d like to make, and share, some notes on that. Some researchers might consider 315 an ancient form of Pi, whereas I’m a Pi Jedi and there is only one form of Pi –Continue reading “Mayan Calendars: 315 or Thereabouts”
The Bent Pyramid – Bending the Rules
I’ve made a number of attempts at interpreting the Bent Pyramid at Dahshur in the past years, but although we have data from a trusted source – WMF Petrie – the endeavor remains problematic, and has thus far not reached definitive solutions. Recently, DUNE at GHMB has been producing some very interesting interpretive work onContinue reading “The Bent Pyramid – Bending the Rules”
The Great Pyramid: Salvaging Stecchini’s Proposal
Many moons ago, I created a proposal for the Great Pyramid’s apothem (slope at center) length based on Carl Munck’s model of the Great Pyramid (height and width), and what I thought was a correct reading on my part of Petrie’s data concerning the concavity of the sides (the Great Pyramid is “dented” in atContinue reading “The Great Pyramid: Salvaging Stecchini’s Proposal”
Did You Know?
Peter Harris (as in the Harris-Stockdale Megalithic Yard) has put the call out for information on (and preferably archaeological works that include measurements) stone circles occurring outside the UK. If readers have information or links any they would like to share, please feel free to post a reply. His request calls attention to how suchContinue reading “Did You Know?”
The Pyramid Of Kamose
I was tidying up my personal reference pages and decided to look for pages that could use work (there are plenty of them, anything uncertain in terms of pyramid data has largely been passed over in order to focus on a still not fully tapped wealth of more reliable data) and noticed that my pageContinue reading “The Pyramid Of Kamose”
Nubian Pyramids, Part Two
Next we shall turn out attention to the pyramids of Nuri. Pyramids of Nuri, 1821 The Pyramids of Nuri, from Mark Lehner, “The Complete Pyramids” As mentioned in Part One, we do appear to have some data on a few of these pyramids from George Reisner, although I myself have never seen another independent researcherContinue reading “Nubian Pyramids, Part Two”
Nubian Pyramids, Part One
The Pyramids of Meroe, 1821 Even now much attention continues to be afforded to the pyramids of Egypt, particularly those of Giza, but seemingly much less is given to the Nubian pyramids, in spite of their appearance in prominent works like Mark Lehner’s The Complete Pyramids. Primarily five sites are under discussion as being theContinue reading “Nubian Pyramids, Part One”
