Hopefully enough people will tell you about the merits of recycling refuse materials. I think I’d like to say a few things about recycling pyramids and other ancient architecture. In the past few days, I’ve seen how the data for Germany’s Pommelte henge contains some of the key datapoints for the Stonehenge sarcen circle, andContinue reading “Remember to Always Recycle…”

Is This For Real?
This was shared on the GHMB by DUNE (thanks!) 3,700-year-old Babylonian stone tablet gets translated, changes history https://megaphone.upworthy.com/p/babylonian-stone-tablet Dr. Daniel Mansfield and his team at the University of New South Wales in Australia have just made an incredible discovery. While studying a 3,700-year-old tablet from the ancient civilization of Babylon, they found evidence that the Babylonians were doingContinue reading “Is This For Real?”
Works in Progress
Hi, all Sorry it’s so quiet around here lately. Hopefully things are going on behind the scenes and will begin to bubble to the surface soon. I’m making a lot of discoveries, but I’m not quite sure what all of them mean yet. The quest for “planetary harmony” – that is, the search for aContinue reading “Works in Progress”
Ancient Calendar Math: On “Canonical” Retrograde Values
Well everyone knows the trouble I got in last time I worked with canonical calendar numbers, that I have mainly 365.0200808 and under, while others work with ~365.25, but I found some numbers for retrograde periods in Wikipedia, and they’re quite interesting I continue to work on my calendar tables, whose number of Half VenusContinue reading “Ancient Calendar Math: On “Canonical” Retrograde Values”
Loitering in Doorway, Mathematically… Part 2
I’ve been looking for this data for awhile now – this is data on Mayan doorways from George Andrews where we have data on upper and lower door widths – again Mayan doors often tend to taper so they are a bit wider at the bottom and I’ve hypothesized that this is to provide aContinue reading “Loitering in Doorway, Mathematically… Part 2”
El Castillo: The Good News and the Bad
At this hour, it appears as if the good news is that the base proportions of the El Castillo pyramid (source: Teobert Maler) at Chichen Itza may have finally been understood more properly. The bad news is that is order to truly understand why it measures as it does may require adding two additional calendarContinue reading “El Castillo: The Good News and the Bad”
Serendipitous Metrology
That’s when you hit the wrong key on your calculator and suddenly the clouds are parted. I’m not all that sure of these results, but they do look as if the very thing might have happened. I attempted to make a concerted effort today to understand the Long Foot, since it came up in BillContinue reading “Serendipitous Metrology”
On Stonehenge’s Aubrey Circle
I’m having a bit of a quandry lately. I’m certainly wanting to broaden my Megalithic horizons beyond Stonehenge in search of an overview of how Megalithic architects thought and operated. It was certainly very helpful to seek an overview with my Mayan studies. Studying Stonehenge can teach us how to approach other Megalithic sites, andContinue reading “On Stonehenge’s Aubrey Circle”
On Thom’s Flattened Megalithic Rings (updated)
Also, I don’t know why it never occurred to me before in the ages I’ve been looking at Thom’s flattened ring types, but I’ve always looked at the ratios as he gives them(Megalithic Sites in Britain, p 28-29) Type A Perimeter / major diameter = 3.0591 (3.057985078 = inner sarcen circle circumf. / 100)Minor diameter /Continue reading “On Thom’s Flattened Megalithic Rings (updated)”
A New Megalithic “Wonder Number”?
Occasionally I write up a “dossier” on a particular number that I think is noteworthy. I’ve done so with three “Mayan” “wonder numbers” that I stumbled across while working with the dimensions of outer pyramid temple doors at Tikal. Sounds incredibly boring, right? I’d have thought so too once, but if you’ll humor me forContinue reading “A New Megalithic “Wonder Number”?”
