Hi "O"
Perfect answer !!!
Hermes in ancient Ionic and modern Hellenic is:
ERMHS = 5 + 100 + 40 + 8 + 200 = 353
But as I said this also refers to Mercury:
And you probably know this but did not make the connection but (the square root of 2 divided by 4) X 1000 =
353.55 and wouldn't you just know it that once again Giza is one step ahead of us:
1 Athens racing stadium = 184.98 m = 353.314 royal cubits
THEN IT FOLLOWS THAT
4 Athens racing stadium = ( 184.98 m = 353.314 royal cubits x 4 ) = 1000 Royal cubits
8 Athens racing stadium = ( 184.98 m = 353.314 royal cubits x 8 ) = 2000 Royal cubits
2236.068 cubits = 2236.068 / 353.31 = 40.00 Athens racing stadium
So the diagonal of a triangle with sides (Sq rt of 2 x 1000) and (Sq rt of x 1000) Equals 40 Athens Racing Stadium. Now I wonder hoe this will all tie in at Giza.
Would seem that I will have to study The Greek measures a little more closely.
