Another look at the numbers

[Don Barone]

I have neglected my calculator lately so I thought I would tune it up and discovered something new.

Firstly we must consider what I call The Megalithic Yard. It is a mathematical expression of: [the sq rt of 3 x 2 x Pi] divided by 4 and give us precisely 2.7206990463513267758911173864632... feet.

Now I do not think anyone has ever discovered this but I always try to convert things back to cubits and this megalithic yard number reveals something very neat.  But first a couple of diagrams I came up with:

Here is what I think The Megalithic Yard was and is.  The reason I think this is that this is very easy to solve. All one needs to do is draw a 1/sq rt of 3/2 triangle or simply an equilateral triangle. Then you can come up with this diagram below. It then simplifies to 1/2 Pi times the square root of 3.

Now technically all one would have to do is quarter turn the diagram and mark where it first touches the ground and where a quarter turns puts it and there we have it ... The Megalithic Yard.

But here are a couple of images you might find interesting:

and this one I did just for my own amusement.

But now to a new discovery. My Megalithic yard of 2.7206990463513267758911173864632... feet is actually 1/4 or the true mathematical formula which is sq rt of 3 x 2 x Pi or 10.882796185405307103564469545853 feet and this gives us in inches, once we multiply by 12, 130.59355422486368524277363455024... - Sorry about all the digits but it is important to show what it reveals. So I took this number and divided by 20.62 inches per cubit and got 6.333344045822681146594259677509. Now I thought well maybe it equals 6.333333333333333333 exactly so I wonder what this would give us so I took our 130.59355422486368524277363455024 and divided it by 6.33333333333333333333333333... and low and behold it yielded up an answer of 20.620035 (rounded off) and this is 20.62 / 20.620035 or precise to 0.99999831 or 99.9998% accurate.

So once again it gives one pause to consider what exactly went on back then with their measurements.

As I thought on this discovery it led me to this discovery as well. My Megalithic Yard is 2.7206990463513267758911173864632 feet or 32.648388556215921310693408637559 inches. Now interestingly when one divides the number of inches in what is the most agreed upon length of a cubit we get ... 32.648388556215921310693408637559 / 20.62 and we get ... 1.5833360114556702866485649193772. Now when we do the math which you will find elsewhere on this forum we get Earth / Mercury (semi major axis') 149,598,261 / 57,909,050 = 2.5833312927772083983418826591008 minus 1 to account for distance to Mercury and we get as I have noted elsewhere 1.5833312927772083983418826591008. If we divide the two numbers we see they are too close to be a coincidence, AT LEAST I THINK SO ! 1.5833312927772083983418826591008 / 1.5833360114556702866485649193772 = 0.99999702 or 99.9997% accurately shown.

Now when we divide using 20.620034877610055564648468613195 we get 32.648388556215921310693408637559 / 20.620034877610055564648468613195 we get 1.58333333333333 which checks even closer.

1.5833312927772083983418826591008 / 1.58333333333333333333333 = 0.9999987 or 99.99987% 

Can there be any doubt ?

Hi all. I had the post nearly finished but I somehow hit something and poof it was gone. So I will try again.

I was trying to draw up a chart for comparison of the measurements both old and new for the readers of the book I have started when I noticed something I had not noticed before. First of all here is the chart:

I am sure you can see the new measurement that has been added, The Megalithic Inch. Now as far as I know no one has done any work on this number or how important it could be. It is imperative that before we begin we look again at the formula I use to get The Megalithic Yard. It is based on the sq rt of 3 which can easily be determined by simply drawing an equilateral triangle and using the height as a radius. Now to the formula which most of you should know by heart by now:

[(sq rt of 3 x 2 x Pi)/4)] doing the math gives us 2.720699046 feet which translates into 32.648388556 inches. But these are our inches. Not Megalithic Inches and so I decided to see what a Megalithic Inch equaled. Since we will assume that a Megalithic Yard was made up of 3 Megalithic Feet we find that a Megalithic Foot equaled. We find that is was simply 32.648388556 / 3 and we get  10.88279618541 of our inches in a Megalithic Foot. To find a Megalithic Inch we would simply divide our Megalithic Foot by 12 and we get 0.90689668212. Thus we have determined that a Megalithic Inch equals 0.90689968212 of a common inch of today. I was stupefied !  For those who have been with me for a while they will note that the Megalithic Inch is exactly equal to how I calculated my mathematical inch so now I had a real working way to get. No longer would I nee to convince people of my mathematical model I could now show them something concrete.  

What am I going on about ?  Simply this the base of The Great Pyramid is somewhere between 9067.4 and 9072 with Petrie having this to say:

The mean base being 9068.8 ± .5 inches, this yields a height of 5776.0 ± 7.0 inches.

Well as many would know I have claimed for quite a while now that the base of The Great Pyramid is 9068.9968212 and this seems to show that I was exactly right but it actually shows a lot more for my calculated base of present inches (within less than .02 of an inch from Petrie's average) divided by the ratio of Megalithic Inches to the present inch and we get remarkably ... 10,000 Megalithic Inches  exactly ! Now really how wonderful and amazing is this ?  There is more but I don't want to lose the post again so I will post this now.

... continuing on. 

We now have to see what the height equals in Megalithic Inches (MI for short). We have (according to me) 5773.50 inches as the proposed final height so we just have to divide this by 0.90689968212 to get MI's for the height and we get 5773.5026918962576450914878050196 (very sorry for the decimals but it is important to prove my next point) divided by 0.90689966212 and we get 6366.1977236758134307553505349006 (again sorry for the decimals) but this number inverted gives us 1 / 6366.1977236758134307553505349006 and gives us 1.5707963267948966192313216916397e-4 which multiplied by 10,000 (now just not a random number but number inches in the base) and we get 1.5707963267948966192313216916397 AND IS EXACTLY 1/2 PI ! So once again we have proved Pi but in a much simpler and neater way. So the size of our Megalithic Great Pyramid in Megalithic Inches is base = 10,000, height = 6366.20. Very neat and amazingly simple. The nay sayers will immediately shout "But come on now The Ancient Egyptians did not know the megalithic measurements" and the reply will have to be ... maybe not but the builders of The Great Pyramid certainly did. This also lends some credence to the fact that The Megalithic Yard was a real thing and was around a long time before The IV dynasty of Egypt.

And finally we have this: 6366.20 (height) / 5000 (1/2 base) and this is exactly (before rounding) identical to 4 / Pi

Hi all. The Megalithic Math World is an interesting place. 

With the Megalithic Inch equaling 0.90689968212 of our inch we have The Great Pyramid equaling 10,000 Megalithic Inches but what else can we find. Firstly I want you to remember that I claim that G1 is equal to the sq rt of 3 now moving on. G2 or The Pyramid of Khafre is, according to Petrie 8472 of our inches and now changing this to Megalithic Inches gives us 8472.0 / 0.90689968212 = 9341.7168 Megalithic Inches. A seemingly uneventful number until we do this: 1 / 9341.7168 gives us 1.0704670468838526912181303116147e-4 which when multiplied by 10,000 gives us 1.070467 and the ratio between the sq rt of 3 and Phi. 

G3 or The Pyramid of Menkaure goes from 4153 inches to 4579.3378 Megalithic Inches. When we do the same thing here as we did for G2 we get 1 / 4579.3378 which give us 2.1837218447387430772935227546352e-4 which when times our standard 10,000 we get not only { [(1 / Pi) X 10] -1 } but also gives us the answer to what G1 divided by G3 equals.

It seems The Royal Cubit, at least for the bases, is 22.72727272 Megalithic Inches (20.6113564 of our inches)
