It almost tried to get past me, but thankfully it kept bothering me until I went back and took another look. A study inspired by DUNE at GHMB resulted in identifying a chain of numbers linked by 2 Pi that included both the Lunar Year AND the Eclipse Year, and today I went back andContinue reading “Progress in Metrology: The Eclipse Year Unit Classified”

A Little More About Mayan Calendar Stones: Ucanal
To be honest, recent work has already uncovered so much that is new, it may take some time for all of it to really sink in. I’m really only still starting to learn why the ancient Maya combined some of the numbers in their altars that they did. In my most recent notes there isContinue reading “A Little More About Mayan Calendar Stones: Ucanal”
I Survived Mayan Altars (I Think)
I’ve been revisiting some of the original passages from Teobert Maler and Sylvanus Morley giving dimensions for Mayan circular “altars”, or as I prefer to think of them, calendar stones or calendar calculators. The Aztec Sun Stone came along early in my newly found devotion to applying Munck’s numbers to the mystery of ancient monumentContinue reading “I Survived Mayan Altars (I Think)”
Where Chephren Once Stood
I thought I’d stare a bit more at my expanded tables of ancient American “altar” data and see if any more helpful patterns appeared to coalesce. I may have spotted one, but it may bring up something of a strange and sad tale. There is a number we hear from very little these days, whichContinue reading “Where Chephren Once Stood”
Some Surprising Properties of Calendar Stone Numbers
I’m continuing to try to round up further data on ancient American “altars” – or calendar stones as I prefer to think of them. I’m perhaps a bit too busy trying to think of them as advanced calculators for intricate calendar cycles to think of them as “altars”, but obviously in spite of any mythsContinue reading “Some Surprising Properties of Calendar Stone Numbers”
A Glossary of Sorts…
I was watching a video a little earlier that explores some of the characteristics of science vs characteristics of pseudoscience. That’s kind of a tender spot for me, because it’s quite often that work I cite gets that stereotypical label lobbed at it, including Thom’s and Munck’s. I can say I think my own workContinue reading “A Glossary of Sorts…”
The Sun Stone and the Eclipse Year
I have written before about the mathematical calendar formulas that may have been written into the Aztec Sun Stone. It has come into focus again because one of its key numbers may appear in the original measures of the Stonehenge ditch according to some of the data available, shortly after also appearing in the designContinue reading “The Sun Stone and the Eclipse Year”
Planets in Captivity? Of Jupiter and Saturn
Kind of a strange story, but having been smitten with the idea that a particular number ((10 Megalithic Feet / Pi) x 10^n = 3.747289674) might have appeared in the original measures of the Stonehenge ditch because it also seems to appear in some of both Aztec and Mayan calendar stones like the Sun StoneContinue reading “Planets in Captivity? Of Jupiter and Saturn”
Palace of Vertical Grooves, Data Tables and Room 3 (PVG Pt 6)
I’m a bit in over my head with the Palace With the Vertical Grooves, with data flying everywhere but not complete models of rooms as yet and still a few mysteries, including whether we are looking at 5 Megalithic Feet or one of several Venus Synodic Period (VSP) values in places. The former would beContinue reading “Palace of Vertical Grooves, Data Tables and Room 3 (PVG Pt 6)”
More Musings on the Palace of Vertical Grooves (PVG Pt 5)
Here again is the present data table with the basic data for the Palace of Vertical Grooves at Tikal (Tikal structure 5E-58, Group SE-11), collected from George Andrews’ report. I haven’t any further findings prepared but sharing some more of the ongoing exploration process might be informative for readers. In the case of Room 1,Continue reading “More Musings on the Palace of Vertical Grooves (PVG Pt 5)”
