Some New & Review

About five months ago, I posted about Thom’s Flattened Ring Types here http://grahamhancock.com/phorum/read.php?1,1198957,1199009#msg-1199009 http://grahamhancock.com/phorum/read.php?1,1198957,1203933#msg-1203933 It always bears repeating how remarkable it is that the perimeter / major radius value for the Type A flattened ring acceptably approximates 1/100 of the inner circumference of the Stonehenge sarcen circle in feet, making this same figure as aContinue reading “Some New & Review”

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”

A Polar Cubit?

In my more recent posts to various places (here and GHMB), I’ve been emphasizing both the difference between geodetic modelling and geodetic measurement, and of course between various values for earth circumference – polar, equatorial, and mean. I may end up eating these words, but I’m skeptical that units of measurement are going to beContinue reading “A Polar Cubit?”

How “Rood” of Me…

I’ve been following some of the posts of David Kenworthy on the GHMB with considerable interest. Mathematically we’re a bit from different sides of the fence, which is okay since I think we might both be still exploring where our respective paths lead us, but many of DavidK’s posts have provided me with inspiration, andContinue reading “How “Rood” of Me…”

Planetary Harmony v1.0

Thanks to readers for their patience, I hope it is paying off here. This is the current state of the art for the calendar sets A, B, and C, and the planetary values they’re made of. No doubt it still isn’t perfect and more definitive values for some of the ratios may be hoped for,Continue reading “Planetary Harmony v1.0”

The King and Queen’s Chambers

Intriguingly, both I, working with Carl Munck’s Pi style of math, and some others who are working with a more classical style of ancient math that involves 22/7 as Pi, seem to have kicked the literal values for sqrt 2, sqrt 3, sqrt 5, etc out of our number sets, or these were kicked outContinue reading “The King and Queen’s Chambers”

By Hatchet, Axe and Saw

I’ve probably managed to make more mistakes trying to sort out the placement of candidate planetary values into their respective groups, and because much of that placement is predicated on the proper placement of other planetary values, more mistakes were likely made on top of that. Because of that, some recent comments I made aboutContinue reading “By Hatchet, Axe and Saw”

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”

Still More Half-Baked Stonehengery

Still in pursuit of an understanding of how to group candidate figures for the Lunar Year value(s), I took up the question with four different figures for the half Venus Cycle, and four of the most familiar versions of the terrestrial year. I have asked Stonehenge, and it think it may have answered. The answerContinue reading “Still More Half-Baked Stonehengery”
