The megalithic yard is a hypothetical ancient unit of length, supposedly equal to about 2.72 feet (0.83 m). Some researchers believe it was used in the construction of megalithic structures. The proposal was made by Alexander Thom as a result of his surveys of 600 megalithic sites in England, Scotland, Wales and Brittany. Thom also proposed the megalithic rod of 2.5 megalithic yards, or on average across sites 6.77625 feet. As subunits of these, he further proposed the megalithic inch of 2.073 centimetres (0.816 in), one hundred of which are included in a megalithic rod, and forty of which composed a megalithic yard. Thom applied the statistical lumped variance test of J.R. Broadbent on this quantum and found the results significant, while others have challenged his statistical analysis and suggested that Thom's evidence can be explained in other ways, for instance that the supposed megalithic yard is in fact the average length of a pace.
(underlining by poster)

If there were 40 megalithic inches in a Megalithic yard then that would nicely explain the siignificance of not only the placement of G2 in my diagram of the rectangle but also the ratio of The Greek Parthenon which was determined by me to be 3600 "Greek digits as a base and 2200 Greek digits as a height and 1600 Greek digits as a side. In my theory of The Megalithic Yard, one Megalithic yard is equal to one quarter (1/4) of a circle with radius of square root of 3. Thus, 1/4 of a circle has 40 megalithic inches and in the whole we have 4 x 40 = 160 megalithic inches in the whole circle. Thus, if circle has 360 "degrees" then the ratio becomes 160 / 360 and equals 4/9ths and equal to the placement of G2 in relationship to the base of my rectangle of "3600" Greek digits and the rectangle footprint of The Greek Parthenon which is proved to be 2.25 to 1 or better put, 9 by 4 or even better put 160 by 360 ( x 10 ) .

... and if there are 400 "megalithic inches" in a megalithic Rod then 400 / 360 = 1.11111111111111 and 1/1000th of the number of the megalithic yards in the perimeter of The Great Pyramid. Thus, in the perimeter of my G1 there are 1000 times the ratio of inches in a megalithic rod to "(360) degrees in a circle"

The more I look into this the more I see that Thom was on the right path, but he failed to see the exact nature of The Megalithic Yard. He assumed it was based on the sine of 56 degrees or 0.82903757 x 100 = 82.903757 "centimetres" / 2.54 = 32.63927451 when in actuality The Megalithic Yard is equal to 32.648388556 "inches" or 82.926907 "centimetres"

It was entirely a mathematically constructed system based entirely on square root of 3 and Pi. Why though ? Why does it appear that every single system that came later was based on it but also based on the human form ?

I see a couple of possible answers:

a) The designers of this system were not native to this planet and may not have had human form thus they would have dealt strictly with mathematical designs

b) The entire theory is ... "A COINCIDENCE" and only fits because I want it to fit.

c) This is the system that The "Creator" used and up to a certain point we understood it but then our "language" was scrambled and perhaps this true system the system of God or The Gods was forgotten.

The first civilization (that we know of) was Sumer and The Sumerians used a base 60, 3600 and 36,000. But where did they learn it and what did it really show. I have shown how 3600 can be shown to be derived from the square root of 3, could The Sumerians have missed this ? I doubt it.

Thus, it is my conclusion that the original system of measuring was indeed The Megalithic system and all others are derived from it.
