132 - OUR ANCESTORS CAME FROM OUTER SPACE
extraterrestrial visitations. But the precise knowledge of our forefathers
of the length of 1
degree of longitude or latitude at any
given point on the globe surely is proof, and so is the Constant of
Nineveh, the cold, undeniable calculation in exact numbers that
was used for thousands of years on both sides of the Atlantic by
people who could never have obtained such information by
themselves.
Our ancestors that came from outer space circled our globe
and calculated the size of our earth from the time that it took
them to orbit it at a given altitude and a given speed, as they
also measured the irregularities of the sphere by the changes in
their orbital velocity. This information was later—probably
64,800 years ago—given to the new generation of man. The
weight of the ancient coins and the Nineveh Constant of the
solar system are today two of our best scientific proofs that astronauts
from space gave us their knowledge. But there are
others.

It is not at all diflBcult to understand how our ancestors calculated
their coin weight in gold and silver from the local dimensions
of their longitude and latitude degrees. Here are four of
the most striking examples:
At the average latitude of Egypt, the length of 1 degree of longitude
is 96,000 m. If we divide this number by 320,000, we obtain
1 ft of 0.3 m, or 30 cm, the unit used to build the Pyramid of
Khafre. One cubic foot of this basic unit has a volume of 27,000
cu cm, or 27,000 gm of water. This is the weight of one Egyptian
talent—27 kg. But the Egyptian way to write it is 60 sep of 450
gm each, or 600 deben of 45 gm, or again 6,000 kite of 4.5 gm.
Besides, here is one of the oldest examples of use of the decimal
system, if not the very oldest known today.
The median latitude in the region of the megalithic temples in
England gives to 1 degree of longitude the average value of
about 66,325 m. When that is divided by 240,000, we obtain 1
of 0.2764 m that was used to construct Stonehenge, and 1
ft
cu ft
of Stonehenge has the weight of 21,100 gm, or cu cm, of water.
This weight divided by 2,500 gives a unit of 8.44 gm. No old
coins of 8.44 gm each have been found in England, but the
Mycenaean gold stater weighed exactly 8.44 gm.
Now, Mycenae in Greece is thousands of kilometers away
