While the subject of 1.423799334 and 1.424280286 is fresh in my mind… At Stonehenge this past year or so, I discovered a third set of planetary, solar and and lunar calendar values. Before that there were only two sets, but as I began to see more about the metrological units that Stonehenge uses and howContinue reading “Addendum to “Two Numbers””

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?”
Some Initial Impressions of Giza Pyramid G1a
I’m wanting to look closer at Giza’s lesser pyramids, the subsidiary pyramids, as time allows. I find myself looking more and more at Maragioglio and Rinaldi’s materials, trying to fill in gaps in the data from WMF Petrie. While numerous errors have been pointed out in the “M & R” texts, some of their dataContinue reading “Some Initial Impressions of Giza Pyramid G1a”
Hormiguero: Harmless Enough at First Sight…
I admit I’m not really all that much of a Star Wars fan (not since the alien Jamaican donkey, anyway), although there’s a certain appropriateness about the alias “Luke Piwalker” beyond being a catchy name with “Pi” in it, and Tikal having been used as a Star Wars location. In a very real sense, MichaelContinue reading “Hormiguero: Harmless Enough at First Sight…”
A New “Wonder Number” From Rio Bec?
As usual, I will try to keep the history lesson brief. The Rio Bec Mayan archaeological site lent its name to a style of architecture that is though to have persisted some 500 years, from about 700-1200 AD. Rio Bec style architecture is noted for imposing pairs of towers featuring facades that imply pyramid temples.Continue reading “A New “Wonder Number” From Rio Bec?”
The Palace of Vertical Grooves at Tikal
Encouraged by what seems to me to be some success with the initial efforts at interpreting Maler’s Palace, I made a fresh attempt at interpreting the rooms in one section of Tikal’s Palace of the Vertical Grooves (Tikal structure 5E-58), Rooms 23-29. I also managed to find a body of previous work in the PalaceContinue reading “The Palace of Vertical Grooves at Tikal”
Pi From The Sky
A fundamental premise of Carl Munck’s teachings was that ancient monuments reveal mathematical formulas that only tell us “why they are where they are”, but that can also tell us where other monuments are, forming in essence an ancient global positioning system, and even inspiring hope of being able to use his grid system toContinue reading “Pi From The Sky”
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”
Some Megalithic Notes
I’m going to post some notes from just pecking away a little bit at some values for randomly chosen stone circles from Alexander Thom’s Megalithic Sites In Britain. I don’t know how much they’ll mean to every casual reader, but anyone who’s followed my posts a bit might recognize a few of these. I definitelyContinue reading “Some Megalithic Notes”
