>>The text says that from Behdet to the Apex of the Delta there are 86 schoinoi. Egyptologists have not been able to make sense out of this text, because they have declared a priori that a calculation in terms of differences of latitude was impossible. Hence, they have dismissed these documents as gibberish without even trying to test their figures in terms of latitude.<<
The schoinos measure was used in ancient Hellas where one schoinos was usually either 30 or 60 stades. 60 is a nice number since it relates to the degrees division – minutes ,seconds etc (Sumerian division).
Let’s thus reverse engineer using Google Earth. Computing the distance between the Horus Temple at Edfu(ancient Behdet) to the apex of the Nile – cities Pikuat (Canopus) and Heraclion(submerged) we get a distance of 757,024 meters. If this is 86 schoinoi then 1 schoinos is 8,802.7 meters.
Now if 1 schoinos is 60 stades(or units in general) then each stade has a length of 146.71 meters. The exact height of khufu’s pyramid or let’s say a nominal 280 royal cubits. Herodotus himself states that the Great Pyramid height is stade in length. It seems he didn’t mean the Hellenic stadium but on the contrary a Egyptian stade of 280 royal cubits. Notice how the circle below hugs the Delta apex.
By the way 86 is the Hebrew gematria value for Eloheim (ALEIM = 86).
