FACE 10
Brian Campbell measured this hole as 18.95 mm East -West and 19.03 mm North-South.
The East-West measurement translates to .74606299". The intended diameter was .7425" or about 1/280th of an inch shortfall and visually undetectable. A progression generated by this goes:
.7425, 1.485, 2.2275, 2.97, 3.7125, 4.455, 5.1975, 5.94, 6.6825, 7.425, 8.1675, 8.91, etc. This is very similar to the .4455" progression, except in a larger root value to launch the string.
As stated, Each of the values are fluidly divisible by either 2.4750 or 2.970, etc., also 5.28 or 5.94 (in deference to the English and Scottish miles) and it's obvious that increments of 2.750" or 2.750' (29.7"). etc., were in use on ancient British sites like Avebury Henge as early as 3000 BC or before.
The North-South measurement equates to .7492126" and the intended diameter was .75" or 3/4ths of an inch. The shortfall error was about 1/2750th of an inch. The progression goes:
.75, 1.5, 2.25, 3, 3.75, 4.5, 5.25, 6, 6.75, 7.5, 8.25, 9, 9.75, 10.5, 11.25, 12, 12.75,13.5, 14.25, 15, 15.75, etc.The progression advances to produce a raft of numbers used in compass, lunar and navigation systems. The value goes on to generate 130636800' or 12 X 12 X 12 X 12 X 1.2 miles of 5250'.
DISTANCE TO THE INNER RIM OF THE 1ST OUTWARDS CONCENTRIC RING
This is .7776" and the progression it generates is:
.7776, 1.5552, 2.3328, 3.1104, 3.888, 4.6656, 5.4432, 6.2208, 6.9984, 7.776, 8.5536, 9.3312, 10.1088, 10.8864, 11.664, 12.4416, etc. The progression goes on to divulge the 24883.2-mile equatorial circumference of the Earth and 1/2, 1/4, 1/8th/ 1/16th/ 1/32nd, 1/64th, 1/128th/ 1/256th, etc., divisions thereof, just as Julius Caesar stated when talking about the druids and what they taught in their great schools. In the above lineup, 11.664" became the Roman foot and 12441.6-miles was 1/2 the equatorial circumference.
The progression advances to finally generate the value 130636800' (the equatorial circumference of the Earth under the 5250' mile system).
The North-South diameter is .792" and the progression goes:
.792, 1.584, 2.736, 3.168, 3.96, 4.752, 5.544, 6.336, 7.128, 7.92, etc. The progression goes on to generate values like 1980, 3360, 7920, coding 1/4 of the Earth's diameter, it's radius and full diameter. The sum of 7920-miles X PI @ 1728/550ths (3.141818182) = 24883.2. Alternatively, 7920-miles X 3.125 (another, less precise form of PI) = 24750.
The true diameter of the Earth is 7926.6 -miles, so the druids and their forebears were making navigational calculations with a high degree of accuracy.
DISTANCE TO THE CENTRE TROUGH OF THE 1ST OUTWARDS CONCENTRIC RING
This is .8064" East-West and provides the following progression:
.8064, 1.6128, 2.4192, 3.2256, 4.032, 4.8384, 5.6448, 6.4512, 7.2576, 8.064, etc. The progression advances to produce 2016, 4032, 6048 (1/3rd, 2/3rds, & full minute of arc) and ultimately 130636800', of which 80640' would be 1/1620th part. 8064 X 3 X 3 X 3 X 3 X 200 = 130636800. Also 806400' would equate to 153.6 Greek miles or 1280 Stadia of 630' each or 768000 Greek feet of 12.6" each.
The North-South diameter is .81675" and provides the following progression:
.81675, 1.6335, 2.45025, 3.267, 4008375, 4.9005, 5.71725, 6.534, 7.35075, 8.1675, etc. The progression advances to produce 130680000', of which 81675' would be 1/1600th part.
816750 X 4 X 40 = 130680000. Also, the 816750 number works well when divided by the increment 24.75. Therefore, 816750 ÷ 24.75 = 33000. Likewise, the sum of 8167500' would equate to 1375 Scottish miles of 5940'.
DISTANCE TO THE OUTER RIM OF THE 1ST OUTWARDS CONCENTRIC RING
This diameter is .8333333" (5/6ths) East-West and a progression based upon this would go:
.833333, 1.66666, 2.5, 3.33333, 4.166666, 5, 5.833333, 6.66666, 7.5. 8.33333, 9.166666, 10, 10833333, 11.66666, etc. Despite the simplicity of this line-up, there were very significant values in there that were much used by ancient mathematicians. For example, the Khafre Pyramid of Egypt (a pyramid of the moon) was built to encode the 3,4,5 triangle geometric principle where 1 side of the triangle is in a ratio of 1: 1.666666 to the hypotenuse.
Likewise, although the Roman Pace was 58.32" officially, the more practical measurement for overland marching would have been 58.33333" or 58 & 3/10ths, based upon a foot of 11.66666" ( 11 & 6/10ths).
The diameter North-South is .8505". The progression goes:
.8505, 1.701, 2.5512, 3.402, 4.2525, 5.103, 5.9535, 6.804, etc.
The sum of 850.5-days would be 1/8th of the cycle, 1701-days 1/4th, 3402-days half and 6804-days a full cycle. The 2551.5-day milestone would be 7.2 lunar years and the value used in the lunisolar, Sabbatical calendar when tracking both 7 solar years (2556.25-days) alongside 7.2 lunar years.
Again the progression carries on to resolve at 130636800' or the full equatorial circumference under the 5250-mile navigational system.
DISTANCE TO THE INNER RIM OF THE 2ND OUTWARDS CONCENTRIC CIRCLE
This East-West diameter measures .9216" and the mathematical progression generated goes:
.9216, 1.8432, 2.7648, 3.6864, 4.608, 5.5296, 6.4512, 7.3728, 8.2944, 9.216, 10.1376, etc. The progression continues through divisions of the Earth's circumference, 1/8th (3110.4-miles), 1/4th (622.08-miles), 1/2 (12441.6-miles), and the full circumference @ 24883.2-miles. Under the "true" size of the Earth reading, based upon 24883.3-miles of 5280', 1-second of arc would be 101.376'.
The North-South measurement is .945". The progression runs:
.945, 1.89, 2.835, 3.78, 4.725, 5.67, 6.615, 7.56, 8.505, 9.45, 10.395, 11.34, etc. The progression goes on to produce lunar and navigational numbers, all the way up to the equatorial circumference value @130636800'.
In the above line-up, 189' is the 1/4 length of the Great Pyramid, 378' the 1/2 length and 756' the full length. The sum of 850.5-days was the ancient calculation value for 1/8th of the lunar nutation cycle and 11.34" was 1/800th of the length of the Great Pyramid.
DISTANCE TO THE CENTRE TROUGH OF THE 2ND OUTWARDS CONCENTRIC RING.
This measures .96" East-West. The progression goes:
.96, 1.92, 2.88, 3.84, 4.8, 5.76, 6.72, 7.68, 8.64, etc.
The East-West width of Stonehenge was set out to be 384'. The distance up the sloping diagonal face of the Great Pyramid from the base to the flat top altar floor was 576'. The sum of 6720' was the Irish mile and there are 19440 Irish miles in the 24883.2 Greek mile equatorial circumference of the Earth (130636800').
The progression advances to finally generate the value 130636800' (the equatorial circumference of the Earth under the 5250' mile system).
The North -South reading is .972". The progression goes:
.972, 1.944, 2.916, 3.888, 4.86, 5.832, 6.804, 7.776, 8.748, 9.72, 10.692, 11.664, 12.636, 13.608, 14.58, 15.552, 16.524, 17.496, 18.468, 19.44, etc.
Again, this string relates to what Julius Caesar said about the druidic preoccupation of lecturing concerning "the magnitude of the Earth and its divisions", in values of 1/2, 1/4, 1/8th, 1/16th, 1/32nd, 1/64tn, 1/128th, 1/256th, etc. In this line-up the sum of 1555.2-miles would be 1/8th of the 24883.2-mile circumference.
DISTANCE TO THE OUTER RIM OF THE 2ND CONCENTRIC RING
The East-West measurement is 1".
The North-South measurement is 1.0125" and the progression that comes from this is:
1.0125, 2.025, 3.0375, 4.05, 5.0625, 6.075, 7.0875, 8.1, 9.1125, 10.125, 11.1375, 12.15, etc. The progression goes on to produce 162, 243, 2835, 4860, 5670, 6480, 7290, etc., and provides much needed values for tracking periods within the lunar cycle. For example, there would be 35 periods of 10.125-days (243-hours) in the 354.375-day lunar year. Likewise, there would be 672 periods of 10.125-days in the 6804-day lunar nutation cycle. The sum of 4860' became the Roman mile and the Roman pace was 7.29" X 8.
DISTANCE TO THE INNER RIM OF THE 3RD OUTWARDS CONCENTRIC RING.
This diameter is 1.024" East-West. The progression generated goes:
1.024, 2.048, 3.072, 4.096, 5.12, 6.144, 7.168, 8.192, 9.216, etc. The progression goes on to generate 1536, 2560 and ultimately to 130636800' for a full equatorial circumference of 24883.2 Greek miles.
The North-South diameter is 1.05" and the progression generated by this goes:
1.05, 2.1, 3.15, 4.2, 5.25, 6.3, 7.35, 8.4, 9.45, 10.5, 11.55, 12.6, 13.65, 14.7, 15.75, 16.8, 17.85, 18.9, 19.95, 21, etc. The progression goes on to generate 2551.2, 2835, 5250, 6300 etc.
This value, as 10.5' or 126" was the Hebrew Reed, as well as a reed increment used under the measurement system adopted by the Greeks, with a foot of 12.6". The value 2551.5 in days would equate to 7.2 lunar years and this value was essential to tracking the moon during 7-solar years (2556.25-days) under the lunisolar Sabbatical Calendar system, The 2835 figure represents the perimeter total, in feet, for a full circumnavigation of the Khafre Pyramid, conceived and built to be 708.75' per side or 15/16th the side length of the Great Pyramid. The 5250 figure is the Greek mile and 6300' would be 10 stadia.
DISTANCE TO THE CENTRE TROUGH OF THE 3RD OUTWARDS CONCENTRIC RING
The East-West diameter is 1.056" and relates to the 5280' mile navigational system. The progression goes:
1.056, 2.112, 3.168, 4.224, 5.28, 6.336, 7.392, 8.448, 9.504, 10.56, 11.616, 12.672, 13.728, 14.784, 15.84, etc. The progression would generate a raft of important values like 2640, 6336, 7920, etc., all the way to the equatorial circumference of the Earth in feet. The sum of 1056' would be 1/5th of a mile and 1584-miles would be 1/5th of the Earth's diameter (7920-miles).
The progression advances to finally generate the value 130680000' (the equatorial circumference of the Earth under the 5280' mile system).
The North-South diameter is 1.08" and the progression that stems from this is:
1.08, 2.16, 3.24, 4.32, 5.4, 6.48, 7.56, 8.64, 9.72, 10.8, 11.88, 12.96, 14.04, 15.12, 16.2, 17.28, 18.36, 19.44, 20.52, 21.6, 22.68, 23.76, 24.84, 25.92, 30.24, etc.
This progression relates to both navigation and the Precession of the Equinoxes. The sun spends 2160-years in each of the Houses of the Zodiac during the 25920-year (72 X 360) cycle of Precession. This means we have to change our calendar date for the equinox event 1-day every 72-years to keep in line with the actual vernal equinox. The ancient Sumerian/Babylonian Homer volume was 21600 cubic inches, the old English bushel was 1/10th of that @ 2160 cubic inches, the diameter of the moon is 2160 English miles, whereas the diameter of the sun is essentially 864,000-miles.
In our ages-old Sumerian compass system there are 60-seconds, 60-minutes & 360-degrees, totaling 1296000-seconds of arc. The sum of 12960-years would be the half cycle of the Precession of the Equinoxes. A cubic foot is 12 X 12 X 12 cubic inches or 1728" cu. Values like 756, 1512, 2268 and 3024 describe 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 or a full circumnavigation of the Great Pyramid's base.
The progression advances to finally generate the value 130636800' (the equatorial circumference of the Earth under the 5250' mile system).
DISTANCE TO THE OUTER RIM OF THE 3RD CONCENTRIC RING
This diameter East -West is 1.089" and the progression goes:
1.089, 2.178, 3.267, 4.356, 5.445, 6.534, 7.623, 8.712, 9.801, 10.89, 11.979, 13.068. Remember, the equatorial size of the Earth under the English system of navigation was 130636800'. The sum of 108900' (20.625-miles of 5280') would equate to 1/1200th of the equatorial circumference. Remember also that the 2nd largest Egyptian Royal cubit was 20.625".
The North-South diameter is 1.12" and the progression goes:
1.12, 2.24, 3.36, 4.48, 5.6, 6.72, 7.84, 8.96, 10.08, 11.2, 12.32, 13.44, 14.56, 15.68, 16.8, 17.92, 19.04, 20.16, etc. The progression goes on to generate numbers like 22.68, 28 or 30.24.
Based upon older precedents, the English ton was 2240 pounds (lbs) or 20 hundredweight (cwt) of 112 lbs each. In the English pound weight there are 16 ounces of 437.5 grains each or 7000 grains total. In the English stone weight there are 224 ounces. The value 100.8' would be 1-second of equatorial arc, whereas 2016' would be 1/3rd of 1-minute of arc and 3024' 1/2 a minute of arc under the Great Pyramid base perimeter system.
The progression advances to finally generate the value 130636800' (the equatorial circumference of the Earth under the 5250' mile system). The 130636800' circumference ÷ 112 = 1166400 (Note: the Roman foot was 11.664").
Once again, the code-bearing ellipse circles fit the hand-incised circle features of the dodecahedron to near perfection and best represent the intention of the artisan fabricators at every turn. Even the outer periphery circuit has almost no over-spills. A trained druid, with the special numbers of civilisation already committed indelibly to memory, would be able to interpret every code-bearing section of the artefact with apparent ease and undertake frequent refresher-courses, as required, to keep the special numbers at the forefront of memory. These number-strings had to be passed on to the ensuing generations at all cost, otherwise one was cursing one's children and allowing them to lose grasp on the concept of civilisation ... which condition would constitute gross dereliction of duty for a druidic master.
