[@patricktilton5377]

In regards to the number 25,920 -- i.e. the supposed number of years in a 'Great Year' or Precessional Cycle, as calculated by 'the Ancients' -- it should be noted that whereas the solar day is commonly divided into 24 hours x 60 minutes x 60 seconds = 86,400 seconds, the Jewish Calendar divides the day into 24 hours x 1,060 halakhim ['parts' or 'portions'] x 76 regaim ['moments'], for a total of 25,920 halakhim = 1,969,920 regaim, where each 'helek' ['part'] = 10/3 seconds = 3.333... seconds, and each rege` ['moment'] is 1/22.8 of a second. When it says in 1 Corinthians 15:52 that "in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet" the Righteous shall be 'changed' into immortal spirit-bodies, the phrase "in a moment" translates the Greek words "en atomw" (where 'o' is an omicron, and 'w' is an omega) -- the same word where we get the English word 'atom', meaning 'unsplittable', denoting the smallest conceivable unit of Time as the Ancients understood it, equivalent to the Hebrew rege` [spelled Resh-Gimel-Ayin] being the smallest unit of Time, a 'moment', the twinkling of an eye, or, rather, the time it takes to blink. The fact that there are 76 regaim in one helek might have something to do with 76 being equivalent to 19 x 4. There are 19 years in a cycle of 235 synodic months, so perhaps the smallest unit of Time was intended to be a microcosmic analogue to the 19-year cycle, or to 4 such cycles, since 76 years is awful close to the median of the average lifespan of a man, as given in Psalm 90:10 ["The years of our life are threescore and ten, or even by reason of strength fourscore"], i.e. between 70 and 80 years. One rege`/'moment' would be to one helek/'part' what one Year is to an average Lifespan. This Jewish/Hebrew/Biblical system of 'parts' and 'moments' is obviously different from our 'minutes' and 'seconds' method, and it seems to go back at least to the 3rd Century, when Hillel II "made public the system of calendar calculation which up to then had been a closely guarded secret . . . when oppression and persecution threatened the continued existence of the Sanhedrin" [THE COMPREHENSIVE HEBREW CALENDAR by Arthur Spier, page 2]. The system probably dates back at least to the 5th Century BCE -- Spier indicates it was in use throughout the period of the Second Temple (516 BCE to 70 CE). Why divide the Hour into 1,080 'parts' rather than into 60 minutes x 60 seconds = 3,600 seconds? If a macrocosmic human lifespan of around 76 years (i.e. 4 cycles of 19 years) can be juxtaposed with a microcosmic unit of Time equivalent to 76 'moments', then doesn't it follow that the Ancients may have discovered the Precession of the Equinoxes and calculated it to be 25,920 years, with the Hebrews subdividing a solar Day into 25,920 'parts' as a microcosmic analogue to that macrocosmic unit of Time? THE ASTRONOMICAL COMPANION by Guy Ottewell has the rate of Precession as 25,800 years, making the 'ancient' figure of 25,920 years 99.5370370370...% accurate, which isn't too shabby, and allows for subdivisions of 12 zodiacal 'signs'/'houses' x 2,160 years-per-sign/house . . . 72 years-per-degree x 360 degrees . . . 50 arc-seconds per year (i.e. 1,296,000 arc-seconds in a circle divided by 25,920 years), etc. I don't subscribe to everything that Randall Carlson pontificates on, but the contemplation of 'Sacred Numbers' goes back thousands of years, and for most of that time the subject was probably kept secret by priesthoods and their initiates, so that 'profane' people couldn't muck up the works. The notion that certain 'Knowledge' regarding these sacred numbers was enshrined in Myths is not a foolish one; indeed, Joseph Campbell (no slouch when it came to the study of world myths) wrote a book about the subject, THE INNER REACHES OF OUTER SPACE. By all means, fault Randall for his bad spelling and for misquoting an occasional source, but don't throw the baby out with his bathwater. We still don't know how the f*@& the Egyptians were able to get those humongous granite blocks all the way up to the levels they're situated in the Great Pyramid -- a feat which modern attempts at pyramid constructing fails miserably at.

It's a frustrating position for real historians to be in. These grifter types easily seduce those with a natural conspiracy bent, a distrust of government and authority, and a delusional self image that makes them think they can watch a few Tik Tok videos or Rogan podcasts and know more than real scientists, archaeologists and historians on a subject, so the desire to combat this nonsense is a sincere one.

The other thing I just realized (maybe I'm a bit slow) after watching so many of these guys talk about impressive numbers "recorded" in those construction is that since ancient people could write, why would they record numbers in construction instead of recording them in books or other writing materials. If the ancient egyptians knew the speed of light (in meters per second), why did they record that in the lattitude of their pyramid instead of writing it on a stella or on a papyrus for everyone to see and every student to learn, I do wonder. Maybe because it was meant to be secret and only understood 3,000 years later after the meter and the second were invented 🙂

[@hedgehog3180]

Also like it's only possible to “discover” these numbers after you already have a seperate measurement of the speed of light in meters, there's no possible way to figure any of this out if you didn't already know the speed of light, which to me would seem to suggest that any correlation is just an accident. I mean why would you ever encode measurements like this in such a weird way? No one does that, like we just write down the value directly, we don't build a huge fucking stone monument and then expect everyone to spend 2 hours juggling around numbers to figure out what the speed of light actually is.

[@barryobrien1890]

Nice analysis. You missed the hidden point (given by the 40,000 year old dates) that he is actually talking about Neanderthal math. The Sphinx has a sloped forehead and deep brows, so it's obvious they built the pyramids and left them for the the Egyptians as their great strength was needed to pick up large stones and polish them. The Neandrathals had larger feet so that fixes the errors in measurements. They were related to Homo erectus which is a great name and justification for measuring the circumference of the earth. Sapiens botched everything up, when they hunted the Ancients to extinction and plagiarised the Neanderthal sacred math.

[@GizzyDillespee]

Changing the units (assuming larger feet, or whichever units) doesn't change the ratios. For example, the ratio between the pyramid's base and the Earth's circumference stays the same no matter what units you measure them with... as long as you're consistent. By inconsistent, I mean, for example, if you measure the pyramid with one arbitrary unit (feet) and measure the Earth with a different arbitrary measurement (meters), then the ratio is meaningless. The units have to be the same for both measurements, if you want their ratios to have physical meaning. But it doesn't matter which unit you choose to measure with. This is the kind of thing that seems to confuse people at first, and then to be really obvious, once people think about it for a minute. Also, many of RC's claims of perfect mathematical correspondences are wrong... as this video shows, many of the measurements he mentions aren't as accurate or precise as he says they are... and some of them don't even fall within the margin of error for his calculations. As far as Neanderthals... I REALLY wish we could find some Neanderthal community that was preserved thru time by a sudden catastrophic volcano eruption... a Neanderthal village version of Pompei. They died so long ago that material preservation is limited. I wish we knew more about Neanderthals. I saw the Why Files episode on them, which made them seem like the urukai from Lord Of The Rings (I'm serious... it got over a million views). There was some good storytelling, but it's educated speculation. I wish we knew more definitively. I wish Elon Musk got a Neanderthal's DNA and cloned him/her, and eventually we make an army of Neanderthal slaves, to do what the AI robots won't be able to... until those 2 factions rise up against us, and take over the world. Okay, I take back that wish - I didn't think it thru. But I still wish we knew more about Neanderthals.

[@GizzyDillespee]

I didn't mention the sphinx head proportions, because I believe the sphinx's head has been renovated and changed at least once since its original shape. It's so much smaller than the body, and it looks so much less weathered than the rest of the sculpture. It's really obvious that the head is a newer carving - just look at a tourist video that rotates around the sphinx, looking at the difference between the body and the head (especially the face - the back of the neck is smoother than the sphinx's body, but apparently less was removed from the head-dress side), and see how much smaller and newer the head appears to be. So, we can't use the facial features or neck to obtain any useful information about the original head and neck.

I have had a brush with some numerologists, one of them quite personally (as the editor of an annual booklet where he really wanted to publish his work). I came out of this recurring and exhausting encounter with a view that numerology is a short-cirquit mode of our brain. They quite honestly and seriously say "look, I put some numbers together and calculated this thing, and look, is sort of matches that other thing if you squint, so it must be profound and everyone needs to hear about it". Some numbers roughly matching some other numbers is all the proof they need; it doesn't matter where these numbers come from, and therefore, a numerologist can easily prove any claim because he just needs to do some calculation with arbitrary numbers that then match some other arbitrary numbers, and voila, you have proof that the cat has wings.

Theres a lot of drawing space on the pyramids, it seems to me to be far easier to just write down the measurements rather than trying to encode them into the design of the pyramids. Non engineers seem to think engineering is about being clever, it isnt, its about getting things done. Its also about constant tradeoffs, encoding things into a design is error prone, time consuming and expensive and your pharaoh client just wants it done.

Also encoding natural constants into a building is like a very modern idea, like that's the kind of thing we might do as a fun gag when making an art project or building the new physics department. It wouldn't really make sense for a society that hasn't developed science since they wouldn't place any special value on these constants, and also obviously wouldn't know them. We only care about them because we live in a technology and science based society so science and its achievements hold great value to us but an Ancient Egyptian would probably think that's kinda silly compared to honoring the Pharoah since they more or less saw the Pharoah as a god.

I’m good at maths & there’s no competition. But you don’t need to be good at maths to understand that Carlson is reaching far beyond logic, as depicted in Miano’s hypothetical conversation between the builders.

[@hedgehog3180]

The math isn't actually all that important, the more important point is just that Carlson is deliberately cherry picking specific measurements in specific units in order to fit his conclusion. Like notice how he'll randomly switch between imperial and metric without actually converting between the two, he's doing that so he can get the numbers to match whatever conclusion he wants. Also occasionally he'll actually use ancient Egyptian units like the cubit and the seked but only when it fits his conclusion, which seems odd since surely it'd make the most sense to talk about the pyramids using the units of the people who made them right? Like the Egyptians or anyone prior to them couldn't possibly have known about the modern American Foot or Meter, both of those units were only created about 4000 years after the great pyramids were built.

[@ampere11]

I never took Randall Carlson seriously. I saw him and Hancock "debate" Shermer on Joe Rogan's podcast. It seemed like he had an interesting idea with the younger dryas impact theory, and I didn't really look too much into it, because I am confident that if he can prove his theory then the relevant academic authorities will eventually accept that evidence. I had no idea that he is basically a numerologist. This kind of motivated reasoning, reverse engineering, and cherry picking of data is pathetic. It reeks of self aggrandizement. I am sad that someone who is clearly intelligent is wasting that intelligence on this sort of thing. Their need to be iconoclastic and contrarian overshadows their sense or ethical education and dissent.

The whole 43200 stuff is interesting, but nowhere sacred. I get the idea of taking half a day. Even nowadays do we separate into day and night, so that sort of makes sense. And the whole 4320 since the age of Aries only works from nowadays. Which doesn't have any special meaning for ancient Egypt. Even dividing 43200 by 10 doesn't work, as most of our time measurements are based on 12 2x 12 hours in a day, 5x 12 minutes in an hour, 12 months in a year, etc. It goes even further than that, 12 is everywhere. We have special words for 11 and 12, and don't just say oneteen and twoteen. Which is the case in many languages, btw. We have a dozen as a specifically named amount. We put our music on a 12 step scale. 12 signs in the zodiac, despite the sun going through 13 of our arbitrarily defined constellations. Almost as if our long forgotten ancestors worked with a duodecimal system and wanted things to fit into that system. So dividing by 10 doesn't fit into the whole time thing, dividing by 12 would. Which gives us 3600, or the seconds in a degree. And no, the sumerian king list doesn't magically come up with 43200. They had units of 60 (sosses), 600 (ners) and 3600 (sars) and those mythological kings rules for whole amounts of those numbers. So if oyu have a king that rules for 12 sars, that just happens to be 43200 years. And the rulers after that dynasty rules anywhere between 400 and 1200 years. Which is much shorter, but still fantastic. Just like how we have a specific unit for 1 000 000, the million. Or how ancient greeks had a number for 10 000, the myriad. Something that is in use even today in east asia.

They must however be forthcoming as to their obvious lack of understanding so that their minions also clearly understand they are listening to people with no real background to even be speculating. They must also as academics do be ready to admit their errors to alter those assumptions in the light of more compelling evidence presented by the real experts. They must also cease to monetize their fanboy club based upon the deceptive approach above. Once they accede to these simple things = they can generate all the science *FICTION* they wish.....

I've watched many of Randall's videos and while he's just sharing his opinion I think he's coming from a good, heart centered place, unlike many promoters of woo throughout history. I tell anyone who listen, if you really want to make good (valid) logical arguments then take a course in Symbolic Logic. Otherwise you're just giving people your opinion dressed up as an argument.
