This table shows how the Siimerians discovered the Nineveh Constant<br />
by multiplying 70 by 60 until they obtained (in hours, minutes, and<br />
seconds) a period of time that was an exact multiple of any astronomical<br />
cycle known at that time. But who gave them the exact cycles<br />
of Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, which they could not see, or the cycle<br />
of precession of the equinoxes?
