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”

The Temple of Hephaestos at Athens: Several First Impressions
Attempting to continue onward with a study of Grecian temple architecture, we now come to the Temple of Hephaestos at Athens. This surprisingly intact ancient temple is another for which Athanasios Angelopoulos provided us with plans and data. It’s going to take some time and a fair amount of work to be sure to tryContinue reading “The Temple of Hephaestos at Athens: Several First Impressions”
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”
On the Great Pyramid’s Missing Apex
I know that I make frequent reference to the Great Pyramid’s “Missing Apex Section” – in fact, these passages from the very recent post “The Stars Built In” seem to make it particularly clear what my extended Munck model of the Great Pyramid implies in regard to the missing section: I hope that by now,Continue reading “On the Great Pyramid’s Missing Apex”
A First Look at Hadrian’s Library
Athansios Angelopoulos, author of Metron Ariston, has provided us with plans and data for (among other things) Hadrian’s Library. I have not looked at much the material carefully yet, but already there may be several things worth mention. Says Wikipedia, “Hadrian’s Library was created by Roman Emperor Hadrian in AD 132 on the north side of theContinue reading “A First Look at Hadrian’s Library”
A Few Curious Notions
The Folkton Drums Something I have been working on the past several days besides ancient Greek architecture is the Folkton Drums. Thanks once more to researcher Geoff Bath for putting another interesting subject on our radar. Geoff informed us that the Folkton Drums are the subject of a final chapter of his latest book, andContinue reading “A Few Curious Notions”
The Stars Built In
I have no real explanation for why ancient people were such fetishists for astronomy. Were they that much believers in astrology and horoscopes? Did they have a religious belief that building numbers from calendars or decimal numbers that carry out for forever like Pi or 1.333333333… into their architecture meant they were building the imperishableContinue reading “The Stars Built In”
Integration and Function of Ancient Mathematics
I am continuing to try to carry out my aspiration of interpreting ancient Greek architecture. At the moment I am pausing just a little to try to think of good subjects for study and good experiments, and to search for further archaeological data. If the results in the last post of looking at the distancesContinue reading “Integration and Function of Ancient Mathematics”
The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus
I am by now a veteran of extensive studies on Egyptian, Mayan and Megalithic architecture, but lately it occurs to me that the subject of Greco-Roman architecture has been much neglected in the course of that. As I ponder whether to try to plunge more deeply into the subject, I think that if it’s possibleContinue reading “The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus”
The Parthenon: Some Initial Impressions
As I continue to search for previous work I’ve done on ancient Greek architecture, I discover that apparently I’ve never really posted about the Parthenon although I’ve done a little bit of previous work with it. I’ve been using Angelopouolos’s diagrams for that. Of course their figures aren’t identical but two other sources provide generalContinue reading “The Parthenon: Some Initial Impressions”
