Pistol,
I agree with your assessment of the Cubit being indivisible.
Your statement: "a linear measurement ascribed by a length of elapsed time and not by the length of a mans arm."
What information lead you to this conclusion? That is if you don't mind sharing?

Hi Pistol,
A circle with and inscribed square where the perimeter of the square is equal to the circumference of the circle without the use of Pi?
The following is an Excerpt from “Common Ground II”
“The GP's height is 280 cubits. 280 cubits is the radius of a circle, not the diameter, whose circle’s circumference is equal to the perimeter of the square of 1760 cubits. Divide everyt

There was no standardized cubit as evidenced by the cubit rods at the Turin Museum. There are three different REC rods that vary in length from...20.578 inches, 20.618 inches and 20.685 inches as b

Hey Clive,
In answer to your first question: The Cubit Rod Measures of Turin demonstrate the 28 digit divisions, which is a natural derivation. The palm 1/7 cubit divided in half 1/14 then half again 1/28 will yield the d

Hi Anthony,
It is really not quite that simple! Our concept of the Royal Egyptian cubit is based on mathematical suppositions that may or may not be true. We have no way of relating cubits without converting to one of our current forms of measurement. We currently do not possess the ability to think in the terms of the cubit as the Ancient Egyptian did.
An example is; where we write .523 m

Hi Anthony,
My bad, after further research I found that the article I was reading contained information altered to fit the writers theory of the Egyptian Sothic Calendar.
I could find no a verifiable connection between The Emerald Tablets and Thoth other than what Wikipedia states;"The Emerald Tablet, also known as Smaragdine Table, Tabula Smaragdina, or The Secret of Hermes, is an anc

Hi Rich,
Thanks for the information, After further inquires, it seems as no one can produce the original Tablets. And it in actuality bears no verifiable relation to Thoth, evidently Mr. Vladimir Pakhomov twisted this information to suit his Egyptian calender speculations.
Newton's translation sounds like directions for meditation regarding a spiritual path.

Hi all,
Is this an accurate interpretation or translation for the The Emerald Tablets of Thoth?

Hello MJ,
The inclusion of the error about Columbus was intentional only to demonstrate what you have already pointed out, there is more pleasure in pointing out someones error than having valid discussions. Thank You

What is science? What is research?
How many ways did Edison find not to make a light bulb? He was able to discover 2001 different ways not to make a light bulb. If he had followed current logic we would still be using torches. There was no written evidence in history to support the idea that a light bulb would even work was there? Ergo, No evidence, no light bulb! I do believe he had

Is the Pyramid of Menkaure a square as Petrie survey indicates or is it a rectangle? According to Lehner's book the base of this pyramid is not a square but a rectangle with two sides being 2 meters longer. Is there any place to find the actual dimensions of the Pyramid of Menkaure?
I have been through 3 Books and 4 websites and found 7 different measurements. Can anyone tell me the accepte

Hi Anthony,
Thanks for your efforts. Through another source I found there were not human remains in the pyramids of Khufu or Menkaure. The sarcophagus in the Pyramid of Khafre did contain the skeletal remains of a Bull.

The descending and ascending passageways of the Pyramids are odd, because there is no room to stand erect within the confines of the passageways. I don’t believe anyone has ever addressed this fact. Does anyone have any information to explain why these passageways are 3.5’ wide by 4’ tall?

I would concur since there are 22 kings chamber lengths in the base and 14 in the height and 44 widths of the kings chamber in the base and 28 in the height it would seem to be logical.

Do the pyramids on the Giza Plateau have to have the same units of measure? Are we trying to carry forward an assumption made by previous researchers? The Egyptian Museum of Turin has three different length Cubit measure rods that vary in lengths from 52.2 to 52.8 centimeters.
The cubit of construction given by authorities in the step pyramid of Zoser is 20.55 inches.
