CONCLUSION

The ancient astronomers also knew that the two points where
the equator intersects the earth's solar orbit during equinoxes
shift in a westerly direction by i degi-ee every 72 years, or by 360
degrees in 25,920 years.
This phenomenon that for thousands of years was known in
many parts of the earth was forgotten for a long time, and the
Christian Church ignored it until only three hundi-ed years ago.
Our ancestors also knew that the period of 25,920 years was
the time elapsed for one rotation of the terrestrial axis at 23^/2°
around the celestial axis, and they called this period of time the
"Great Year." And they knew that this rotation explained why
the polar star was not always the same and why other circumpolar
stars were sometimes visible and sometimes not.
Finally, our ancestors knew that all
the planets and satellites
in our solar system return to the same position on the celestial
vault after 2,268 million days, or after 6.3 million years of 360
days each, a timespan that for modern astronomy equals
6,209,578 years of 365.2422 days each.
In mathematics instead of the decimal system,
our ancestors
used fractions which were much more precise than our decimals.
They did not use the decimal system because they did not have a
need for it—they did not have decimal calculators. The use of
fractions instead of approximated decimal values gave them a
system that allowed them to resolve, for instance, the squaring of
the circle. The squaring of the circle is the computation of a
square with exactly the same perimeter as a given circle.
This is
considered impossible by our modern mathematicians, who use
the value of tt as a number of infinite decimals. For our ancestors,
v was the ratio 22:7. Therefore, a circle with a radius of 7
had a perimeter of 44, the same as a square with a side of 11.
