That would probably be too good to be true, I’ve been confounded by this for the better part of 20 years, and yet revisiting Sir WMF Petrie’s more or less impeccable data, I’m finding some numbers that seem to make a fair amount of sense. This comes along at something of an awkward time, rightContinue reading “Great Pyramid King’s Chamber Finally Demystified?”

The Stonehenge Lintel Circle
I’ve been working on this awhile, but have only just now gotten back to the subject since the initial effort, so I will try to recount the entire history of it here as best as possible. Having been informed by reliable sources that the width of the circles formed the horizontal lintels of the StonehengeContinue reading “The Stonehenge Lintel Circle”
Bearing In Mind…
Greetings! I’d like to be certain I clarify something for anyone who might be reading some of the posts here, or any of my work posted elsewhere. Very often while talking about one one monument, I will end up talking about another. The radius of Stonehenge x (2 Pi) = the height of the GreatContinue reading “Bearing In Mind…”
Is This For Real?
This was shared on the GHMB by DUNE (thanks!) 3,700-year-old Babylonian stone tablet gets translated, changes history https://megaphone.upworthy.com/p/babylonian-stone-tablet Dr. Daniel Mansfield and his team at the University of New South Wales in Australia have just made an incredible discovery. While studying a 3,700-year-old tablet from the ancient civilization of Babylon, they found evidence that the Babylonians were doingContinue reading “Is This For Real?”
A New Megalithic “Wonder Number”?
Occasionally I write up a “dossier” on a particular number that I think is noteworthy. I’ve done so with three “Mayan” “wonder numbers” that I stumbled across while working with the dimensions of outer pyramid temple doors at Tikal. Sounds incredibly boring, right? I’d have thought so too once, but if you’ll humor me forContinue reading “A New Megalithic “Wonder Number”?”
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”
Perfecting Planetary Harmony
You know you’re on the cutting edge of something when you have to start posting retractions and revisions on a regular basis. I feel terrible about posting half-baked material, but I do so in the hope that others can help spot errors, that others might be inspired by something that jumps out of them inContinue reading “Perfecting Planetary Harmony”
Reaching For The Sky
Well, there you have it with that last one – looking at my math isn’t so bad after all after having seen some of my philosophy, eh? Silly me, when I got back into this I thought if it calendars were what it was all about, it should be simple. Nonetheless, the past week hasContinue reading “Reaching For The Sky”
Rio Bec, Slight Return
Aside from Tikal, I’m not sure there any ancient American archaeological sites that have given me a sense of wonder and inspiration quite the way that Rio Bec, the namesake of the Rio Bec archaeological style, has. That was all any archaeologists had to say to me was to propose that the stately false towerContinue reading “Rio Bec, Slight Return”
Scrutinizing Stonehenge 2
I don’t imagine I yet have enough additional material on Stonehenge for another part in the series yet, but in case I have anything new to say on the subject in the meantime, let’s see what I can make out of another post. With the rapid influx of Stonehenge data lately, I’ve begun building aContinue reading “Scrutinizing Stonehenge 2”
