On my calculator I get 2.715426838 ft., but you get the idea. The ratio is extremely
close. Thom pegged the megalithic yard at 2.72 feet, but Heath shows a much better
overall correlation, although this should be checked against Thom's measurements to
verify the reasonableness of correlating this idea with megalithic artifacts. Big stones
that have been in place for thousands of years and possibly tampered with by humans and
natural influences require careful data gathering to draw any conclusions.
Heath presents a chart on p. 34 of The Lost Science of Measuring the Earth containing
the ratios between various important ancient measures. The measures are given relative
to a modern English foot as the standard.
1.000000 English foot × 441/440 = 1.002272727 (standard Greek foot).
1.002272727 (standard Greek foot) × 176/175 = 1.008 (canonical Greek foot).
1.008 (canonical Greek foot) × 176/175 = 1.01376 (geographic Greek foot).
1.01376 (geographic Greek foot) × 15/14 = 1.08617143 (Drusian foot). (30/28 ratio)
1.08617143 (Drusian foot) × 5/2 = 2.71542857 (Astronomic Megalithic Yards) (AMY)
1.01376 (geographic Greek foot) × 3/2 = 1.52064 (geographic Greek cubit)
1.52064 (geographic Greek cubit) × 10/7 = 2.172342857 (geographic megalithic cubit)
2.172342857 (geographic megalithic cubit) = 2 Drusian feet (= 30/14 × geog. Gk. ft.)
2.172342857 (geographic megalithic cubit) × 5/4 = 2.71542857 (AMY)
2.172342857 (geographic megalithic cubit) × 4/5 = 1.7378743 (geographic royal cubit)
1.7378743 (geographic royal cubit) × 25/16 = 2.71542857 (AMY)
1.21499 (Egyptian remen) × 801/800 = 1.216512 (geographic Roman remen)
1.216512 (geographic Roman remen) × 12/7 = 2.0854491 (sacred geographic cubit)
2.0854491 (sacred geographic cubit) × 25/24 = 2.172342857 (geog. megalithic cubit)
The "remen" is an ancient Egyptian unit of measure equal to 5 palms or 20 fingerbreadths
(about 37.5 cm). The glyph for it was an arm with the palm facing down: +. The same
symbol pronounced "meh" stood for the royal Egyptian cubit ("Meh Suten", the Sultan's
Fullness) and equaled 7 palms and 28 fingerbreadths or about 52.5 cm (based on actual
artifacts). A smaller cubit (meh nejes) was 6 palms and 24 fingerbreadths. The ratio of
the "meh" to the "remen" was thus 7/5. The number 28, as we have seen, is the key to
the solar-lunar calendar.
We now realize that we can take a string marked with the 28 fingerbreadths of the cubit
and mark off a circle with holes at 1-fingerbreadth intervals, and this becomes a solarlunar
calendar clock. So the Egyptian royal cubit ruler was an astronomical clock as
well as a tool for measuring displacement in space.
Navigating Scale with the Senet Oracle Board Spiral
The Senet Oracle Board generates a fractal spiral. Below I show again the Weighing of
the Heart Tableau. Below that I show the fractal Senet board grid, and then I have
sketched the first few iterations of the fractal spiral. The spiral curls around the tip of the
tower. The limit of the spiral is the tip of the tower.
