Greetings! I recently gathered up and posted some materials on the El Tajin pyramid, giving some of the calculations and considerations. I have yet to find my old data on the Pyramid of Niches that give some of the other calculations, including those for the diagonals, so in the interest of moving forward, I’ve redoneContinue reading “A Closer Look at the Pyramid of Niches”

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”
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”
More About Stonehenge, Pt 7
Hmmm… Perhaps there’s only enough to say here that it could have been a postscript at the end of the last post, but enough was probably said there, so this could end up a short post. Several things I could swear I started catching glimpses of 1. Stonehenge beginning to make statements about alternative setsContinue reading “More About Stonehenge, Pt 7”
Some Half-Baked Stonehengery
Just in case there’s anyone following this blog but not my postings to the GHMB, this is something I wrote there today. Some of it is part of my posting here on Asian pyramids, but the questions continue to try to embrace new concerns, which most recently include new work on Stonehenge and the questionContinue reading “Some Half-Baked Stonehengery”
More About Stonehenge, Pt 6
Something I should mention is that in interpreting Prof. Thom’s “17 Megalithic Yard” diameter for the inner Trilithon ellipse and the inner bluestone circle as 2 / 1.177245771 = 16.98880598 Megalithic Yards is that 16.98880598 x 2 Pi = 106.7438159, one of the numbers that Stonehenge seems quite fond of talking about, achieved this timeContinue reading “More About Stonehenge, Pt 6”
More About Stonehenge, Pt 3
To continue with our experiment in progress, again just a scouting mission for now… We noticed some important looking ratios between major and minor diameter of some of Stonehenge’s ellipses in Pt 2. Here’s where it may start to get a little tricky? Thom’s data gives us 17 Megalithic Yards for the diameter of theContinue reading “More About Stonehenge, Pt 3”
“At Sixes and Sevens”
Maybe there’s a reason that expression came to be. If you ask me, the number 7 is the work of Satan personally, and I like to think I have enough quaint old siting legends for stone circles to back me up on that just a bit. Why is that? Well, many in Egyptological circles likeContinue reading ““At Sixes and Sevens””
