Hi Jim ... this from an early website of mine. Not online at the moment.

"One day about three years ago I was invited by Clive Ross, a man who I had met posting at a message board called "In The Hall of Ma'at" and also at another message board run by the author Graham Hancock, to visit him in a town just north of where I lived. Clive had moved within driving distance and he suggested that we get together because he wanted to compare notes and I later found out he wanted me to follow up with some of his work and to help him get it either published or on the screen, either on television or as a documentary. We spent several hours discussing where we came from and where we thought we were heading and he showed me many interesting things he was working on that now sadly will go unfulfilled as he passed away on Christmas Day 2009. Of all the things we discussed that day the thing that really stuck and the thing that started me on my present course of discovery was Clive's off hand comment that on Mars an object will fall PRECISELY 100 Egyptian digits in one second. I could not stop thinking about that as I drove home. How the devil could an Egyptian measure be showing us so precisely the speed of gravity and even more insane how could it be showing us the speed of gravity on a foreign planet, Mars ? So here is an attempt to show you what I have found. At parts I will have to encompass the data that showed me that the entire solar system was to be found but I will attempt to concentrate specifically on our Earth-Mars comparison. Before starting however we must all take our hats off and give William Matthew Flinders Petrie a big thank you for without his meticulous work surveying the monuments at Giza the secrets they contain would have possibly died with the builders. Check out a link here: and a link to his measurements is here. Please feel free to check my figures with his.

As I have stated I immediately set to work to see if what Clive had told me about that gravity figure was true, so I began the calculations and I discovered an extremely interesting sequence of how gravity is distributed within the solar system on the various other planets. Here is the formula for gravity. It is really quite simple. It is simply the distance an object will fall on a given "globe" in one second. Here is a simple description for Earth taken from Wiki: The gravity of Earth, denoted g, refers to the acceleration that the Earth imparts to objects on or near its surface. In SI units this acceleration is measured in meters per second per second (in symbols, m/s2 or m·s-2) or equivalently in newtons per kilogram. It has an approximate value of 9.81 m/s2, which means that, ignoring the effects of air resistance, the speed of an object falling freely near the Earth's surface will increase by about 9.81 meters (about 32 ft) per second every second. This quantity is sometimes referred to informally as little g (in contrast, the gravitational constant G is referred to as big G). Below find a chart showing the various gravitational speeds on a variety of planets and moons of our solar system.

But what of my (actually Clive's) claim of 100 Egyptian digits equaling the force of gravity on Mars. Well let's check it out.

100 Egyptian digits will yield 100 / 28 (digits per cubit) 3.571428571 cubits this in turn gives us (if we use 1 cubit = 20.618034 inches) a value of 73.63584 inches. This equals in cubits 1.8704 and using our formula for gravity we must double this and it gives us 3.74 m/s2 If we check the chart above we see that the actual value or at least the one that Wiki has used in this article is 3.728 This we find is extremely close and since gravity varies over the surface of any globe or planet and can change due to elevation and other factors. It is my contention that on The Cyndonia Plains or maybe on top of the mesa that is The Face on Mars that gravity will in fact equal EXACTLY 3.74071 m/s2 So from my research I was satisfied that gravity on Mars could in fact be defined by stating that it is the time taken for an object to fall 100 Egyptian digits ON MARS ! BUT IT CAN ALSO BE STATED THAT GRAVITY DEFINES THE CUBIT AS WE CAN SAY THAT AN EGYPTIAN DIGIT IS 1/100TH OF THE DISTANCE AN OBJECT WILL FALL ON MARS IN ONE SECOND. Connection # 1 has been made and onward we go."

Never did finish that website. Was going to look at The Face and The Sphinx a little more closely

I eventually sent my data to NASA and they were impressed but they never did a follow-up

Cheers
