Sacred Geometry

1 inch is to 1 furlong as 1 mile is to the Earth's radius at the Tropics

1 furlong = 660 ft
660 ft = 7920 inches
7920 miles = Earth's radius at the Tropics



Where did we get the sacred number 12 from? Karahan Tepe... 10+kya




It looks to me like water was fed into the pillar room from the right and drained away to the left... But why? Maybe this was their creation story, the room would fill with water and slowly drain away revealing the pillars (celestial gods) from under the primordial abyss - the waters of chaos. The pillar center right with the long narrow head may be the Sun surrounded by the 4 inner planets and the Moon. With Marduk's face staring across the middle - seizing the middle according to the Enuma Elish - we find 5 'outer' celestial gods. These are the gas giants and Pluto.

I don't know which earth you live in, but this one has a radius of ~6370 km, which I'm quite sure is not 7920 miles.

But N35t0r, he watched an entire video movie on YouTube dot com! The video has to be correct!

7926 miles is the DIAMETER of the Earth (12,756 Kilometers). So even if he used the wrong term, it is still off by 6 inches.

[Berzerker]

is that at the equator or tropics?

[PLATO]

Equator I believe

[N35t0r]

There's been historically (some still survive to the present day) many different definitions for miles and feet, so it's also a coincidence that those ratios are similar.

[Edit:] and obviously also inches.

The current amount of (imperial) inches in a furlong also changed when the British standardized their units in the 13th century. By then the diameter of the earth was well known, so it's hardly any divine providence or sage folk knowledge.

[Berzerker]

did the definition change based on the existing estimates of the Earth's diameter?

I believe early Greek estimates were slightly under the actual diameter

Berz deserves a refund from whatever schools he went to.

[Berzerker]

that would be the public schools

here's the iceberg

English got theirs from the Romans who passed it along from the Greeks and of course they got it from Mesopotamians and it all appears to be based on 12 for some reason

now we see at Karahan their 'cosmos', the primordial waters receding away to reveal 12 gods

Even sky charts produced back then showing the 'known' or visible planets still identified 12 celestial realms.

Furlongs were 100% an old English invention, approximately the distance that an oxen team could plough in one go. That specific distance got standardized as a furlong, and when the definition of the inch was set in the 13th century (before that, there were many small variations of the inch in use in England), how many inches fit inside a furlong changed.

Also, having 12 subdivisions on an everyday measurement unit, since it means you can easily split it into halves, thirds and quarters. Decimalization is only actually useful once you start doing actual maths and dealing with arbitrary numbers.

[Dauphin]

Is it anymore useful to use base 10? If we were brought up thinking in base 12 or base 16, are there any disadvantages compared to base 10? Or do you mean the constant scaling of units is the useful part (e.g. micro, milli, kilo, mega, etc all being scales of 1,000, whereas something like 12 in in a ft, 3 ft in yard, 22 yards in a chain, 10 chains in a furlong, 7 furlong in a mile, etc is a nightmare to deal with). Asking as you seemed to cross concepts here.

[N35t0r]

No. Base 10 is a given since we have 10 fingers. But if you're going to do slightly more advanced math than just dividing by 2, 3 or 4, like 5.35 x 2.07 - 3.09, or just adding 20 different fractional numbers, then using decimals is so much easier than using fractions. This is also not directly related to unit scaling, as you can usually just stay within the same unit if you're not mixing scales or getting into more complex topics.

[Berzerker]

a theory holds the knuckles on 4 fingers creating 12 segments was the reason, I think it was celestial.

[pchang]

It seems to me that Berz is confused about the concepts of before/after and cause/effect.

[N35t0r]

He is confused about... a lot of things.

[Berzerker]

Wasn't the furlong based on the Greek stadia or 1/8th of the Roman mile?

[Berzerker]

The 'solar' pillar was the only one that was fixed, carved from an existing outcrop, while the 10 other pillars were placed

It's based on the radial diameter of Pluto, an how long it takes to see the eclipse in the Kuiper Belt as Pluto transits.

[Berzerker]

Pluto was called Gaga in the Enuma Elish, it was Anshar's (Saturn) moon sent on the mission of announcing Marduk's ascendency and the coming battle with Tiamat

Saturn's rings point to Pluto near perihelion
