28 OUR ANCESTORS CAME FROM OUTER SPACE
some calculations which showed that the Nineveh number could
also be expressed as 70 multiplied seven times by 60.
Then one day I remembered that the Sumerians, who were the
ancestors of the Babylonians, who in turn were invaded by the
Assyrians, used calculations based on multiples of sixty more
than three thousand years ago. We still do not know for sure
who the Sumerians were and where they came from, but we
have found out that they were truly great astronomers who
knew the revolution periods of all the planets of the solar system,
including Uranus and Neptune. They were the ones who divided
the day of 86,400 seconds into 24 hours of 60 minutes with 60
seconds each. Immediately the realization came to me that the
number of Nineveh represented the value of a very, very long
period of time expressed in seconds! It did not take long to calculate
that the number of Nineveh with its fifteen digits was
equal to 2,268 million days of 86,400 seconds each.
That was a good start but did not answer the main question—
what did this huge time span of more than 6 million years stand
for? It was certainly longer than the age of man on earth. Then
the thought flashed in my mind that the clever Sumerians were
familiar, among other things astronomical, with the precession of
the equinoxes—the turning of the terrestrial axis of rotation
around the pole of the ecliptic. This movement has a cycle of
about 26,000 years or 9.450 million days of 86,400 seconds each.
When I divided the Nineveh number by the cycle of the
precession of the equinoxes, also called the Big Year, I had the
greatest surprise of my life! The sacred number of Nineveh
divided exactly into 240 Big Years of 9.450 million days each. I
saw that the fifteen digits on the clay tablet from Nineveh
represented for the Sumerians two hundred forty rotations of the
seasons around the zodiac expressing time in
seconds, not days
or years as our astronomers would do today.
Then came my conclusion that this enormous number of
Nineveh could very well be the long lost magic number called
the "Great Constant of the Solar System," the number that alchemists,
astrologers, and astronomers had been looking for for a
very long time, while their ancestors were familiar with it more
than 3,000 years ago.
Naturally, I had to prove first that I was right, but that did not
