The base perimeter-length of the Great Pyramid is half a nautical mile, and this is no coincidence because the ancients measured the rate of precession of the equinoxes, and applied this rate to the simple geometry of the circle and hexagon of the earth, to measure and thereby map the earth.  See article #11 at http://www.GenesisVeracity.com.

Genesis Veracity  is  pushing a website devoted to and outdated history.
Its such a pity that the Bible didn't contain more useful history of the megalithic people. Their origin, crafts, beliefs and means of survival.

Perhaps, as most religions are about power for a few head honchos and can't stand the masses having knowledge that might threaten the cult leaders authority over them, it was not seen as a good thing to record the ancient knowledge for fear that it might 'corrupt' future subjects of the religion and challenge the doctrine of the church.

Why don't you start a new thread about the historicity of the Bible?  This thread is about ancient precession mapping.

Do you have any input about my finding, or are you just determined to stay off topic?

Ain't it cool that they measured the earth by measuring precession?  It is the basis of our modern mapping and timekeeping system.

[Fred]

What is the basis of 'your finding'. I won't be buying your book to find out.

[Genesis Veracity]

You must actually read the finding which is article #11 at http://www.GenesisVeracity.com, as I previously said.

And this finding was determined after my first book was published, but my second book is in fact on the way, however, that is not the purpose of this thread, the purpose of this thread is to elicit comments about my finding.  Do you have any questions or comments germane to the information in article #11?

I read your article and you made interesting calculations. However, in my opinion some of them are questionable.
Below are just a couple of examples:

As the precession of the zodiac would complete in 25,920 years, the ancients knew that 1/6th of 25,920 years (that is 4,320 years) would represent the "movement" of the zodiac along the length of one side of the earth hexagon.

Nobody knows for sure what is the exact precession of the axis of the Earth - its period is affected by too many gravitational forces that isn't possible to calculate it precisely. Actually, some of the most recent researches (Beatty et al. 1990) shows the precession period is approximately 25,770 years. And that won't fit with your calculations.

The ancients accurately mapped most of the world around 2000 B.C., and the evidences of their astro-navigational capabilities are found with the stone-circles and astronomically-aligned pyramids (both on land and sea-floor) that are located at strategic Base-Six-denominated longitudinal locations around the world, which established these megalithic sites as geographical reference points for the astronomical measurements and resultant mapping by the ancient seafarers.

I'm not a pyramid expert, but speaking of megalithic sites, there isn't any relation between the location of the stone circles and the base-six longitude values, as you can see plotting those sites on any map, or simply checking their distribution on Andy Burnham's New Megalith Map or Modern Antiquarian's Map Browser.

The prevalence of the precession rate number 72 in ancient legends and architectures (such as the 72 conspirators against Osiris, and the 72 columns of  various temples, such as at Susa) reveal that as the rate used in their mapping calculations.

Susa is 24 degrees (longitudinally) east of the Great Pyramid, and Tiruvannamalai is 48 degrees east, and Angkor is 72 degrees east, and Sao Pa is 90 degrees east, and Pachacamac is 144 degrees east.

I will see how many degrees west of the Great Pyramid are Stonehenge and the submerged megaliths just west of Gibraltar.  (Do you have any more information about the submerged megaliths just west of Gibraltar?  I have read that the now submerged Temple of Hercules was found on the shallow seafloor at Calleta, near Cadiz, do you have any more info about this?)

I respect your opinion, but it really seems you are trying to fit numbers into your theory. Following your assumptions, I could say the Roman kings were 7 and the last group of steps in King's Solomon temple were 7, so the ancient chose a seven-day week because of this. Which clearly isn't the case.

Following the same principle, Allaki (Russia) is 24° east of the Great Pyramid, Pasir (Malaysia) is 72° east of the GP, and Rigaud (France) is 24° west of the GP. That doesn't mean those cities have been built taking into account the longitude of the Great Pyramid, but they are located on a base-6 longitude multiple from that monument simply by chance. I mean, you can find *everything* on earth (and beyond) simply searchng for association with numbers.

As far as I know, there are no prehistoric megaliths west of Gibraltar. However, there could be some ancient submerged caves probably used by the Neanderthals. You can find more info on this Official Government of Gibraltar press release.

[Genesis Veracity]

The sites I mentioned are extremely ancient sites, and even if there is no relevance, it doesn't affect my finding.

The finding mirrors our modern mapping and timekeeping system, I don't see how you can miss it.

If you are unaware of the submerged megaliths off Cadiz, just west of Gibraltar, then perhaps you should see the link I posted on another thread.  There is quite a bit of literature about such out there, and as I presume you are a Spaniard who is interested in megaliths, I am very surprised that you were not aware of them.

The earliest number systems were base 60. My impression is that this arose because 60 has lots of denominators and makes fractions easy to track as whole numbers. Of course, our modern mapping and time keeping preserve this ancient method for just that reason. Try dividing a circle into fractions based on ten. Yuch!

[Genesis Veracity]

60 x 6 = 360 degrees of a circle, and 60 is one side of the earth hexagon, so do you see the connection in my finding?

[Genesis Veracity]

See how my finding applies to the mechanics of Stonehenge, as I explained on the thread "Seafarers, Megaliths, and Astronomy" about Stonehenge.

This is not exactly true. Just one numeral system - the Sumerian, which was the earliest - was based on counts to 60. And it spread in the Western world, so that even today we use it to count time and angles. However, all other ancient numeral systems weren't based on such exotic system:

3500-2500 BCE - Elamites of Iran possibly used forms of decimal system
2900 BCE - Egyptian hieroglyphs show counting in powers of 10
2600 BCE - Indus valley civilization shows the earliest known physical use of decimal fractions in ancient weight system
1400 BCE - Chinese writer show familiarity with the decimal system

From what we know, the 60-base system was not the rule, but the exception - at least considering it from a worldwide perspective.

BTW - this is an interesting thread indeed!

[Genesis Veracity]

They call the ancient number system of Sumer base 60, but it is actually a base 6 system, with 10 subdivisions of each side of the mapping hexagon (see article #11 at www.GenesisVeracity.com).

[Genesis Veracity]

Many of you have been discussing ley lines, so could the methodology of my Great Pyramid and ancient mapping finding explain how the ancients established distances and directions for their ley lines?
