Hello Byrd,
>>I'm afraid this information doesn't help your case... and in fact rather hurts it. You cite a Wikipedia article but then don't link it to anything or use it in any way. Then...<<
I use the metals mentioned here, not just any metals I chose to make my case:
[
en.wikipedia.org]
>>Basically you said that any number will work for any particular course of the pyramid. This simply doesn't work (and it looks like some information was truncated or obliterated.)<<
It seems the architects did not choose to encode every singe element of the periodic table. They wanted to focus on certain important elements – and basically metals. We need to keep in mind that the course levels are related to internal structures in the pyramid and that possibly they could encode important molecules too(methane etc).
>>In order to prove your idea, you have to prove that sophisticated knowledge of the model of the atom existed (knowledge better than ours). The "table of elements" is simply based on one model of the atom -- as I said, you could use Quarks or Gluons or number of electrons and come up with a table that was valid and was completely different.<<
The sphinx length along with the Kafre maximum common denominator of the base and length that encode the fine structure constant proves this(Bohr model).
>>I'm afraid you haven't shown why an "advanced civilization" (unless you consider ours the ultimate advanced civilization) would decide to encode just ONE pyramid out of all the structures on the planet.<<
Here’s another:
The only elements that fall in an intermediate (not a local max or min) are Helium, and Boron. These apart for the abundance of Helium on the Sun and it's role in fusion reactions are not so important or abundant elements at least when it comes to the Earth(crust, atmosphere, oceans etc). Granite courses end at the atomic weight of Oxygen.
>>The only reason for a "second" is that it's a convenience. The "second" was invented first and then people hunted around for a way to accurately define it via atomic methods. We could have ended up with a longer or shorter "second."
So it's not a case of "having the atomic model first and then applying it." It's a case of "having the thing first and then picking an atomic model."<<
Everything points to the fact that the designers of the pyramids new about the 60 base division of the hour into minutes and seconds. See also the photon foot which is related to the remen which is defined in relation to the length light travels in a vacuum in a second of time. Thus if we chose this particular element to define the second it’s logical that due to it’s special characteristics it was also chosen at ancient time.
>>I'm sure you must feel this is correct, but the measurements are right. It's the concept which does not match with the real data.<<
As I pointed out measurements from other archeologists lead to contradictory values. Although Petrie has a reputation for accuracy, it’s always possible he made a mistake. On the other hand we cant really consider that the width of the course is uniform in all it’s perimeter. Even though Petrie measured it at two places(North and South if I remember correctly) we need a large number of reference lines – at least 16 – instead of 2.
Best regards...
