I am greatly indebted to metrologist Bogna Krys (rodz) for introducing me to a particular work by Marcello Raineri. I’m not sure how I had overlooked it because I’m familiar with some of Raineri’s work on Greek Temples – which by the way seem to adhere to the same design logic that is apparent inContinue reading “Cempoala and El Caracol”

Pi From The Sky
A fundamental premise of Carl Munck’s teachings was that ancient monuments reveal mathematical formulas that only tell us “why they are where they are”, but that can also tell us where other monuments are, forming in essence an ancient global positioning system, and even inspiring hope of being able to use his grid system toContinue reading “Pi From The Sky”
Pi Jedi 101
As things begin to assume something of a holding pattern, perhaps it’s a good time to do a bit of reviewing. Our Founder, Carl Munck, went as far as introducing a lot of redundancy into his materials – very frustrating for long-time followers – to make his publications more “stand-alone” for anyone who might haveContinue reading “Pi Jedi 101”
Another Megalithic Yard?
For a long time now, I’ve been familiar with a figure of 2.718208958, which I’ve thought of as a mathematical constant rather than a metrological unit although it is indeed close to Alexander Thom’s Megalithic Yard of about 2.72 feet – so close that it may be up to mathematics and not measurement to sortContinue reading “Another Megalithic Yard?”
Relating Ancient Units to Each Other in General
I’m not entirely sure I’m up for a full discourse at the moment – and perhaps the esteemed reader isn’t either as things do get rather complicated soon enough – but after writing about the relationships of ancient units through circular geometry, I’ve been dwelling on the ways of relating ancient units in general. InContinue reading “Relating Ancient Units to Each Other in General”
The Pied du Roi Strikes Again…
Besides it having turned up in the preceding post… Notes on the Pied du Roi re: Flinders Petrie, Inductive Metrology pg 104: Inchaguile, Galway, Church – 53.3; Clondalkin Round Tower 10.66 pg 105: It would seem very likely, on viewing these units, that 60 x this base unit was the original unit – i.e., 21.34 +/- .02… ThusContinue reading “The Pied du Roi Strikes Again…”
The Lintel Meglithic Yard: Did You Mean…?
I wish Windows had a “Did you mean…?” dialog box that helped keep dumb mistakes to a minimum. If so, when I christened the “Aubrey Megalithic Yard”, it would have asked “Are you sure you don’t mean that Megalithic Yard from the Lintel Circle?”. At this hour, I seem unable to see through equations whyContinue reading “The Lintel Meglithic Yard: Did You Mean…?”
Further Work With the King’s Chamber of the Great Pyramid
Continuing from the previous post, it looks as if the distances from the pavement to the base of the King’s Chamber walls represent Venus Orbital Period ~224.7 to 225 / 16 and the distances from the pavement to the floor of the King’s Chamber represent Solar Year / Precessional Cycle as ~365 to 365.25 /Continue reading “Further Work With the King’s Chamber of the Great Pyramid”
Great Pyramid King’s Chamber Finally Demystified?
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?”
An Aubrey Megalithic Yard?
The last several days I’ve been desperately trying to figure out exactly how and why Professor Thom had two different values for the Aubrey Circle’s diameter / circumference. I’ve even recently seen a skeptic take this fact completely out of context to use as evidence that people can distort numbers all sorts of ways, completelyContinue reading “An Aubrey Megalithic Yard?”
