- Multiple Squares to form Flattened Circle Megalithsabove: 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 Thom … Continue reading “Multiple Squares to form Flattened Circle Megaliths”
- Double squares: Venus and the Golden MeanThe 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 square appears. Above right the Egyptian Djed column is shown within a double square. The Djed is the rotating earth which the … Continue reading “Double squares: Venus and the Golden Mean”
- The Approximation of π on Earthπ 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 TimeBack Cover ANCIENT MYSTERIES “Heath has done a superb job of collating his own work on the subject of megaliths with the objective views of many other researchers in the field. I therefore do not merely recommend reading this book but can state unequivocally it is a must read.”–John Neal, British metrologist and researcher and … Continue reading “Sacred Number and the Lords of Time”
- A Pyramidion for the Great Pyramidimage: 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 geodetic survey. This post explores a pyramidion, now lost, which exceeded the apex height … Continue reading “A Pyramidion for the Great Pyramid”
- Recalibrating the Pyramid of GizaOnce 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 PyramidMy 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 pi of 22/7 using two concentric circles of diameter 11 and 14 (in any units). Normally, a diameter of 7 gives rise to a circumference of 22, when pi is being approximated as 22/7 (3.142587) rather than being the irrational number 3.141592654 … for then, the 14 diameter … Continue reading “Units within the Great Pyramid of Giza”
- God of Harmony Osiris in Egyptian Mice TombRecently 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”
