Greetings all! Having a number of bits and pieces on my mind, another Short Reports article might be a good way to address them. We Salute Mercurial Pathways Mercurial Pathways is a remarkable blog that I haven’t been able to view in about as long as I’ve had troubles posting to my own blog here.Continue reading “Short Reports 7”

What Is Stonehenge?
I continue to wrestle with some of the details involved in exploring my questions about ancient American iconography and planetary/stellar symbolism, such as a considerable amount of rather time-consuming manual data entry and searching for scattered images and drawings of monumental artifacts like stelae and altars. Ideally, this may help provide the opportunity to betterContinue reading “What Is Stonehenge?”
Shopping for a Pyramid
I’ve run into a strange question, and it seems like the proceedings might make for a good opportunity for me to refine a description of the incorporation of data into architecture. I was looking at a particular equation and it occurred to me that many people might not easily grasp the logic of it, whichContinue reading “Shopping for a Pyramid”
A Breakthrough at the Bat Palace at Tikal?
Talking about some of the wondrous mathematical discoveries made at Tikal (that is, working with data from Tikal) tends to make me wistful for the site. One should hope to find more of their splendid “Wonder Numbers” lying about in the architecture. I’m skeptical that we’ve found all of them. From the data that IContinue reading “A Breakthrough at the Bat Palace at Tikal?”
Wereshnefer vs Piwalker: Round One (Postscript Added)
In the previous post, we took a first look at the 30th Egyptian Dynasty coffer of Wereshnefer, courtesy of photographs and data from the Metropolitian Museum, including pixel measurements I took of one the photos of the coffer lid in hopes of being able to extrapolate further data from the width and height provided. CofferContinue reading “Wereshnefer vs Piwalker: Round One (Postscript Added)”
Short Reports 3
Alan Green Many thanks to seanoffshotgun at GHMB who posted links to some of Alan Green’s videos on YouTube. I haven’t looked at the one on the Fine Structure Constant yet – that could be stretching the limits of ancient technology a bit and I have (probably sordid) tales to tell about Michael Morton’s explorationsContinue reading “Short Reports 3”
The Vesica Piscis Revisted
I’ve been looking at a lot of things since last post. I’m still trying to grapple with ancient metrology as described by some classical ancient authors. There has been robust discussion on GHMB featuring such luminaries in metrology and mathematics as as Jim Alison, Mercurial, molder, and magisterchessmutt, aimed at seeing how much truth thereContinue reading “The Vesica Piscis Revisted”
Resonance
Frequently in my writing, I use the term “resonance”, referring to “mathematical resonance” or “resonant” numbers, but I’m not still not sure if I’ve ever given any adequate explanation for the term. In acoustics, noun the quality in a sound of being deep, full, and reverberating.”the resonance of his voice”. (physics) the reinforcement or prolongationContinue reading “Resonance”
A Fraction of a View?
This is something of a difficult subject for me to get into for fear of ruffling more feathers among fellow researchers. I’ve no wish to do that, I very much wish to encourage the work of other researchers. I have no idea where their journeys may take them or what they may discover – perhapsContinue reading “A Fraction of a View?”
Chephren’s Pyramid from Top to Bottom
At present we are having a bit of discussion at GHMB again about Chephren’s pyramid. We seem to have at least a small amount of consensus on its measurements, and the ability of those measurements to communicate the Lunar Year at a 1:1 ratio of Imperial Feet to days. It reminds me that I amContinue reading “Chephren’s Pyramid from Top to Bottom”
