- Multiple Squares to form Flattened Circle Megaliths
above: a 28 square grid with double, triple (top), and four-square rectangles (red), plus (gray again) the triple rectangles within class B Contents 1. Problems with Thom’s Stone Circle Geometries. 2. Egyptian Grids of Multiple Squares. 3. Generating Flattened Circles using a Grid of Squares. ABSTRACT This paper reviews the geometries proposed by Alexander ThomScottish … Continue reading “in Egypt” - Double squares: Venus and the Golden Mean
The humble square, with side length equal to one unit, is like the number one. It’s area is one square unit and, when we add another identical square to one side, the double squareA unit rectangle of 1 by 2, with important use for alignment (Carnac), cosmology (Egypt) and tuning theory (Honnecourt Man). appears. Above … Continue reading “Double squares: Venus and the Golden Mean” - The Approximation of π on Earth
π is a transcendental ratio existing between a diameter/ radius and circumference of a circle. A circle is an expression of eternity in that the circumference, if travelled upon, repeats eternally. The earths shape would be circular if the planet did not spin. Only the equator is now circular and enlarged, whilst the north and … Continue reading “The Approximation of π on Earth” - Sacred Number and the Lords of Time

image: By 1200 BC, the end of the Bronze Age, the Egyptian map of the world (above) showed nine bows or latitudes, numbers 4 to 9 including the Nile Delta, Delphi, Southern Britain and Iceland, a map based on an ancient geodeticUnits of measures and monumental measurements relating to the numerical definition of the shape … Continue reading “A Pyramidion for the Great Pyramid” - Recalibrating the Pyramid of Giza
Once the actual height (480 feet) and actual southern base length (756 feet) are multiplied, the length of the 11th degree of latitude (Ethiopia) emerges, in English feet, as 362880 feet. However, in the numeracy of the 3rd millennium BC, a regular number would be used. In the last post, it was noted that John … Continue reading “Recalibrating the Pyramid of Giza” - Ethiopia within the Great Pyramid
My last posting mentioned John Neal’s creative step of not averaging the Great Pyramid of Giza’s four sides, as had routinely been done in the past – as if to discover an idealized design with four equal sides. Instead, Neal found each length to have intensionally been different. When multiplied by the pyramid’s full height, … Continue reading “Ethiopia within the Great Pyramid” - Units within the Great Pyramid of GizaThere is a great way to express pior π: The constant ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter, approximately equal to 3.14159, in ancient times approximated by rational approximations such as 22/7The simplest accurate approximation to the π ratio, between a diameter and circumference of a circle, as used in the ancient and prehistoric periods.. of 22/7The simplest accurate approximation to the π ratio, between a diameter and circumference of a circle, as used in the ancient … Continue reading “Units within the Great Pyramid of Giza”
- God of Harmony Osiris in Egyptian Mice Tomb
Recently an “early Ptolomaic” tomb was discovered similar in themes to the famous Egyptian Books of the Dead (Middle Kingdom). Normally written on papyrus, they feature multiple tableau of Osiris judging the dead and other scenes. Osiris is a long lasting and perhaps supreme god whose cult was present throughout 3000 years of Dynastic history. … Continue reading “God of Harmony Osiris in Egyptian Mice Tomb”
