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””

Another Tale of Two Numbers
Since I’ve been working with data from archaeological sites in Egypt’s Faiyum Basin lately I seem to be seeing a lot of the number 1.423799334. In accordance with what may be trend in seeing particular focus on the so-called Palestinian Cubit, 3 / 1 Palestinian Cubit in feet 2.107038476 = 1.423799334, which helps serve toContinue reading “Another Tale of Two Numbers”
“Progress Report” on the Giza Layout
Earlier today, I posted this the following to the Megalithic Portal. I am not certain what to make of it but I find it very intriguing, and thought I’d share it with readers: Well, let’s see – I was aspiring to have a look at data for the Mount Pleasant henge and see if IContinue reading ““Progress Report” on the Giza Layout”
The Valleys of Neptune
Don’t worry, dear reader – I’m sure I have enough controversial things to say already without seriously suggesting that the surprisingly modern-looking observatories of the Maya were once equipped with telescopes, but even if we can’t look to it as proof that they did, I do find it interesting to think about whether they selectedContinue reading “The Valleys of Neptune”
Do We Decimal?
First, perhaps a disclaimer is order – sometimes, I’ve had to do little more than try and explain the logic of my work with numbers, or explain how certain ideas are not tranferrable across diffeent proposed ancient number systems, to give other independent researchers the impression that I intend something other than mere constructive criticismContinue reading “Do We Decimal?”
Metrological Unit Families
The one-man debate continues whether or not a system of metrological units similar to John Neal’s should be applied to the units I use. Even then, one of the things that continues to make such a system of units questionable besides the inconvenience of eight or more values for each unit, is that even ifContinue reading “Metrological Unit Families”
Fanfare for the Common Math
I don’t seem to be coming up with the stupendous post on the subject that I’d hoped for, but at least a little bit really should be said about a few things nonetheless. I’m more impressed with the work of David Kenworthy and Bogna Krys (rodz) than ever, after having done some more detailed workContinue reading “Fanfare for the Common Math”
Exponentially Yours…
I often talk about the exponential value of data retrieval tools. We know that certain numbers like 2 Pi, (Pi / 3), 2 / 1.62231147 or sqrt 60 and (1 / sqrt 60) can have remarkable value at connecting and expressing whole series of important numbers, and this is because of their value at higherContinue reading “Exponentially Yours…”
Nubian Pyramids, Part One
The Pyramids of Meroe, 1821 Even now much attention continues to be afforded to the pyramids of Egypt, particularly those of Giza, but seemingly much less is given to the Nubian pyramids, in spite of their appearance in prominent works like Mark Lehner’s The Complete Pyramids. Primarily five sites are under discussion as being theContinue reading “Nubian Pyramids, Part One”
The Scenic Route to the Coligny Calendar
I went back to the videos by Our Founder, Carl Munck. They can be found online although again, if you appreciate them please consider purchasing Munck’s video series. I can highly recommend his work even though I have no choice to offer cautions when it comes to his “geomathematical” applications of his math because weContinue reading “The Scenic Route to the Coligny Calendar”
