Megalithic Foot – Luke Piwalker

A Certain “Stonehengy” Number

Peter Harris recently posted his HSMF thread at the Megalithic Portal concerning the Waun Mawn site in Wales, where not only has evidence been reported of a stone circle, but it has been speculated that bluestones at Stonehenge may have originally stood in Waun Mawn circle before being brought to Stonehenge. Being ever curious andContinue reading “A Certain “Stonehengy” Number”

Seahenge

A thread on the Megalithic Portal started some 4 or 5 years ago by Geoff Bath was recently booted to the top of the board, and it managed to spark my curiosity. For some reason, I haven’t been terribly interested in Seahenge or Woodhenge – although Thom provided data on the later, I’ve generally foundContinue reading “Seahenge”

Callanish, Part 3

I’ve probably gone and got myself into trouble by attempting to be more comprehensive metrologically in my attempts at interpretation of some of the Callanish “stone circle” sites. On the one hand, such an approach isn’t necessary, nor was it involved in many apparent interpretive successes – that includes interpreting the Great Pyramid interior, whereContinue reading “Callanish, Part 3”

Callanish, Part 2

Some additional Callanish sites covered by Prof. Thom in the book Megalithic Sites in Britain: Callanish III is interesting for being a novel concentric ellipse contained in a circle. I’m very tempted to try to interpret it as making a visual lunar reference but at present I’m somehow having trouble finding data on duration ofContinue reading “Callanish, Part 2”

Regarding Mercury

I’ve long been perplexed by what the ancient might have used as valid approximations of Mercury’s cycles. There’s really no shortage of good candidates – in fact, quite the opposite, which may be the source of the difficulty. It’s curious that in all my searches for material relating to Mayan calendars the past few years,Continue reading “Regarding Mercury”

Further Work With A Megalithic Foot

I frequently mention the “HSMF” – the Harris-Stockdale Megalithic Foot. Years of research by Peter Harris and Norman Stockdale revealed the significance of this number in retrieving metrologically stored astronomical data from the proportions of Megalithic monuments like Stonehenge and many others – presumably, any others. The proposed value maintained by Peter Harris is (10Continue reading “Further Work With A Megalithic Foot”

Big Numbers

I enjoy writing, at least when the idea is to try to share what I’ve learned with others. I like to think I have some advice based on 20 years of experience working with the amazing numbers that I work with, and there seems to be something I’d like to say, but I’m still notContinue reading “Big Numbers”

May The Fours Be With You…

There, I’ve gone and done it, I have made the worst Star Wars pun ever. Now that that’s out of the way, what can we say about the number 4? Via the Pi ratio, the Great Pyramid seems to “know” it’s 4 sided, in a manner of speaking, we can say that and it hasContinue reading “May The Fours Be With You…”
