Who knows? It’s hard to tell since apparently someone went and lost the blueprints… It’s been giving me fits most of the day that some of what I proposed in the previous post yesterday doesn’t add up, and I’ve been checking on all sorts of things trying to get to the bottom of what happened.Continue reading “Is This The Original Plan For The Giza Pyramids?”

A Strange (and Wondrous) Day at Giza
Greetings, all I find my attention drawn toward ancient Egyptian architecture again, for a number of reasons that might sound tangential if I went into full detail, but today started out with the realization that the Harris-Stockdale Unifying Value could perhaps be an oversized variant of the Full Moon Cycle. The original note that expressesContinue reading “A Strange (and Wondrous) Day at Giza”
Planetary and Lunar Data
I’ve been working on a new data table. On the one hand, it’s meant to save on having solar system astronomy formulas scattered everywhere over posts to five forums and over pages and pages of written notes; on the other hand, there may be no replacing taking the time to work out those notes. OneContinue reading “Planetary and Lunar Data”
It’s Only A Prototype…
Greetings, all – and a Safe and Happy Thanksgiving, even to those who don’t celebrate the holiday. Today I am thankful for, among other things, having beaten my Planetary and Lunar Tables into the form of the first prototype. It’s still a work in progress, but I have been slaving away on it for daysContinue reading “It’s Only A Prototype…”
Short Reports 8
Greetings! A few more random items from my desktop… The “Garsalian” State of the Tropical Month I’ve been considering candidate values for representation of the Tropical Month the last several weeks. Cerrig at the Megalithic Portal has posted several threads with excellent details of several Megalithic sites which have me quite intrigued. Cerrig advocates forContinue reading “Short Reports 8”
Short Reports 4
The Current State of Ancient Metrology Several more probable ancient units of length measure, thought to have been used to express astronomical / calendar related values, have been discovered since last posting. At present, the all-inclusive series (which seems to find the proposed Egyptian Sacred Cubit in the middle) looks like this, after the realizationContinue reading “Short Reports 4”
Progress in Metrology: The Eclipse Year Unit Classified
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”
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”
Retrogrades Revisited
engbren at GHMB has been working on what I think is most likely a very worthwhile academic paper regarding the possibility of Saturn exerting an influence on the design of Egyptian pyramids though various possible mathematical fingerprints. It reminds me that mathematical fingerprints for the planets seem somewhat difficult to come by. While I wouldn’tContinue reading “Retrogrades Revisited”
