In August 2011, I was contacted by singer-song writer, Tally Koren, about the number 72. She was planing to do a series of interviews on the subject, in conjunction with her new album, "72 Names Hallelujah." She was undertaking a 72-day project focusing on the significance of the number 72 in all facts of everyday life -- modern and historical, artistic and spiritual. In Jewish mysticism, there are 72 Divine Names.

I agreed to be one of the interviews. I explained to Tally that my method of study is based on dreams and coincidences. After discussing the subject on the telephone, we decided that I would explain a little about the number 72 and more about the ancient numbering Code system, found worldwide, as well as various crop circle connections. I created this web page in order to organize the interview material and display the graphics. The audio interview became a brief (22 minutes) overview of the material in this article.

Synchronistically, the interview coincided with my 72nd birthday. The video is now on Youtube, and on Tally's blog.

Early Number Experiences

Ancient numbers first came to my attention in 1990, when I read The Inner Reaches of Outer Space, by the great mythologist, Joseph Campbell. There was a section about the ancient number, 432000, the time cycle of years in the Hindu religion, called the Kali Yuga.

In the system, there are ever-revolving cycles of impersonal time, with whole universes and their populations coming into being, flowering for a season of 43200 (or 432000 or 4320000) years, dissolving back into the cosmic mother-sea to rest for an equal spell of years before returning, again and again.

Campbell pointed out that the same period of years was given in the Sumero-Babylonian system, where ten kings reigned from the rise of the first city, Kish, and the great flood (see details below or read the 432 article).

Realizing that Genesis tells of ten patriarchs from Adam's creation to the time of the great flood, Campbell wondered if that period of 1656 years had a relation to the Sumero-Babylonian account. He found the 19th Century work of Julius Oppert, showing that in 1656 years, there are 86400 weeks.

He realized that 86400 is twice 43200, and came to the conclusion that the 1656 years of Genesis was given in a manner to secretly disguise the ancient Sumero-Babylonian system number.

Campbell also mentioned that the number nine was associated with the Goddess Mother of the World and its gods. In India the number of recited names in a litany of this goddess is 108, while 4 x 108 = 432. The numbers all reduce to nine --

4 + 3 + 2 = 9
1 + 0 + 8 = 9
1 + 6 + 5 + 6 = 18 then 1 + 8 =9

Campbell also wrote of the Viking eddas that were found in Iceland which told the story of the Day of Ragnarök, the Doomsday of the Gods. At that time, 800 Divine Warriors will come out of each of the 540 Doors of Valhalla (800 x 540 = 432000).

This 432/864 number type can be found in an internal clock in the body, as well as in the Cosmos. A trained athlete's heart beats one time each second. In a 24 hour day, that is 86400 beats. The earth's axis wobble that causes the precession of the equinoxes is given as 25920 years. Divided by the ancient number called "soss," 60, which was used in calculations, results in 432 (25920 / 60 = 432). Also note --

2 + 5 + 9 + 2 + 0 = 18 and 1 + 8 = 9

Number Coincidence

One of those strange coincidences happened some months after I read the Campbell book. I was inspired to write notes about the sinking of the Titanic in 1912 as a symbolic event. The idea is that it was a portent of the periods of stress to follow, starting with World War One in 1914.

Some days later, I came home from work and found a Jehovah's Witness pamphlet on my desk. I started to throw it in the trash, but something stopped me. I found an article inside about a prophesy given in the 1800s, based on the dream of Nebuchadnezzar in the Book of Daniel. In the dream, a great tree was cut and banded, causing a period of insanity for seven years. This was said to be "Prophetic Years" of 360 years each, for a total of 2520 years. The Jehovah's Witness prophet related this to Revelation 12, where the Devil is thrown out of Heaven, down to Earth. He predicted that this would be the start of the Apocalyptic cycle, which would begin in 1914.

I do not believe in a literal Devil, or conventional views of the Apocalypse, but I do find these ancient numbers fascinating. I realized that this cycle number and its base number also reduce to nine --

2 + 5 + 2 + 0 = 9
3 + 6 + 0 = 9

Around the same time, I read that there were 72 Divine Names in one of the Jewish systems. They were said to be used as codes in creation (see below).

In 1992, a strange thing happened as I was working the swing shift. The numbers 72 and 360 kept coming into my mind over and over -- as the Divine Names used as codes in creation, and the Prophetic years. Finally, I stopped working to multiply them --

72 x 360 = 25920

I was surprised, because I recognized the number as the of years of the precession of the equinoxes through the twelve Zodiac Ages. Each Age is 2160 years in length (12 x 2160 = 25920).

I learned later that ancient people around the world had been obsessed with keeping track of the movement of the sun along the horizon, and that some of them figured out the precession, by observing maximum points of movement through many years. In 72 years, the maximum point moved one degree in relation to the background of star constellations associated with the twelve signs of the Zodiac.

The number 72 is related to the precession number in another way --

72² / 2 = 2592
5184 / 2 = 2592

Some years later, the number of half the precession (12960) became significant (see below). It relates to the number 72 in these ways --

72² / 4 = 1296
72 x 18 = 1296

The number 1296 is six to the fourth power (6⁴), or 6 x 6 x 6 x 6. It is also 36². This number and its harmonics were found in the ancient code and has been coded into several important crop circle formations, including the 1991 Barbury Castle triangle, the 1996 DNA formation, the 2002 Mitochondrial DNA formation, and the 2008 "Pi" formation (see details below or read this article).

Crop Circle Number Connections

The crop circle phenomena came to my attention in 1990. By the end of the year, I began to receive information about them, mostly through various books and journals.

On page 109 of Circular Evidence, by Pat Delgado and Colin Andrews, was a photograph of the crop circle formation that appeared at Cheesefoot Head in 1988 --

Each circle was 10.8 meters in diameter (note the 108 harmonic). Here are a few excerpts from the article:

"About 35 percent of the barley plants were compressed to the ground, and swirled clockwise. The pressure swathes from the centre of the circle expanded toward the perimeter. The remaining plants had clearly also been flattened when the event occurred but had now lifted back to the light in an extraordinary fashion. Later when we saw the circles from the air we found that they were at the points of an equilateral triangle and the circle edges were separated by 1.9 meters of standing crop. The compass bearing through the centres of two of the circles was precisely magnetic north." [skip]

"The plants had now grown into a pattern consisting of seven concentric rings and forty-eight spokes. Each circle had the same form."

Crop formations in young plants have this tendency of the downed crop  to grow back upward. My first response after reading the article was to multiply:

3 x 48 = 144
3 x 7 = 21
7 x 48 = 336
3 x 7 x 48 = 1008

I did not know much about the ancient numbering systems at the time, but I did know that the number 144000 appears in the Book of Revelation.

I recalled reading Joseph Campbell's, The Inner Reaches of Outer Space, where he mentioned ancient numbers, including the number 108, the number of names of the Goddess recited in India.

Some months later, I read another article about the Cheesefoot Head crop formation. When a triangle is drawn between the centers of the three circles, it encloses twelve spokes of each circle. I realized the total spokes within the triangle would be 3 x 12 = 36, and that the number of spokes left in each circle,-- not including the 12 enclosed in the triangle -- would also be 36, as 48 - 12. Of course, 4 x 36 is also 144.

I soon read of the work of Professor Gerald Hawkins. He found that various crop circle formations have ratios within the geometry that match the diatonic scale of music, corresponding to the white key notes on a piano. The Cheesefoot Head formation, above, became the basis of "Theorem I."

I realized that 144, is half of 72, and that the number reduces to nine, as does 1008, which can figure as 72 x 14.

Carl Munck, the Gematrian Wheel and the Explosion of Numbers

In 1994, a corresponding friend sent some of my material about the numbers to Carl Munck, who then contacted me and informed me about "The Code," and Gematria -- the ancient system of numbers. To me, it was like an explosion of numbers. There are many systems of Gematria. The one discussed here is special, and the most ancient.

These types of "Gematrian" numbers are found in ancient myths and religions, including the Bible. The numbers were used in systems of weights and measures (metrology) by ancient peoples, including the Greeks, the Egyptians, the Persians, the Babylonians and the Romans. The ancient Mayans used Gematrian numbers in their very accurate timekeeping.

The Code system uses mathematical constants, such as pi and the radian. The system also uses conventions that are still in use, such as the 360 degree circle, 60 minute degree, 60 second minute, the base-10 numbering system, the 12-inch foot, and the 5280 foot mile.

The ancient, prehistoric numbering system that was in place when written history began.

Carl found the numbers to contain just two tangents, (ignoring ending zeors and the +/- signs) which suggest sine waves. When the two tangents are multiplied, the number produced is the square root of five -- which itself is the tangent of the speed of light in air!

All Gematrian numbers add to nine or a multiple of nine and are divisible by 9. All the numbers end in 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8.

The number 72 is part of this doubling sequence --

9, 18, 36,  72, 144, 288, 576, 1152, 2304

Many of the Gematrian numbers have Alpha or Word meanings. For example --

144 = Light
288 = Double Light
432 = Consecration
576 = Prophecy and Gospel
1152 = Witness
5184 (72 squared) = Victory over the Beast

When evaluating the meaning of Gematrian numbers, it is often useful to ignore the zeros. For example, 108, 1008, and 1080 seem to be related.

Some months after being contacted by Carl, I had a dream of a circle divided into pie-shaped parts, and knew it was about Gematrian numbers. I drew a circle and then put the numbers on marks around it based on the tangents. It turned out to be a 360 degree circle divided into ten divisions of 36 degrees each. I placed Grandmother Spider in this rendition of the "Gematrian Wheel" to mark the various points with non-zero tangents --

In this diagram, the horizontal dashed line between 270 degrees and 90 degrees is not intended to be one of the 10 Gematrian points, but is shown for reference.

Each divisional section has 6 subsections of 6 degrees each, for a total of 60 small subsections. Recall that 60 is the Babylonian soss. Each full circuit around the wheel produces the same numbers multiplied by 10. (360, 720, 1080, etc.) This can be continued into more circuits, adding more digits, so that 144000, for instance, could be considered as 400 times around the wheel.

It seemed coincidental that the circle (or wheel) had ten parts, because two crop formations had appeared in 1993 and 1994 -- the Bythorn Mandala and the Spider Web formations. Both were circular patterns divided into ten sections --

Carl informed me that ten is the base harmonic of the planet earth, found at its very core.

The Bythorn Mandala formation was "coincidentally" very similar to a diagram in a book that I had brought home from the library some months prior. The title is The Tantric Way: Art, Science, Ritual, by Ajit Mookerjee and Madhu Khanna. The diagram is called a Yantra to Kali --

The crop formation had ten petals, while the Kali Yantra has 8 and 16. Kali is the Goddess of death or destruction creation, consort of Shiva. The symbolism relates to something like a karmic cleansing. As previously stated, we are presently in the age of the Kali Yuga, said to have a duration of 432000 years. In time, it became clear to me that Kali corresponds to the harlot of Revelation 17.

One interpretation of the Bythorn Mandala crop formation was that it represents the third chakra, which is symbolized by a lotus flower with ten petals.

More Five-Fold/Ten-Fold Crop Formations

Many similar five-fold/ten-fold fold type crop formations have appeared since 1994. These are examples --

This one has crystal-like pointers suggesting the Gematrian numbers (added in color here) --

Sometimes the place name of the location where a crop circle appears seems to be symbolically meaningful -- in this case St Martin's Chapel. Martin of Tours is the Fourth Century Christian Saint, who was formerly a soldier in the Roman army. He became famous for cutting his military cloak in half and sharing it with a scantily dressed beggar. That night, Martin dreamed of Jesus wearing the half-cloak he had given to the poor man. He heard Jesus say to the angels: "Here is Martin, the Roman soldier who is not baptized; he has clad me."

The name, Martin, has the meaning -- Warrior of Mars. As I was updating this article, I found another ten-fold crop formation that appeared at Martinsell --

Interestingly, Mars is associated with the fifth sphere of the Tree of Life, which is symbolically related to the five-pointed star --

Two important bits of information crossed my path in the mid 1990s. According to Andy Thomas, in his excellent book, Vital Signs, on page 71 --

"Observing previous pentagram formations, Michael Glickman had noticed that in every case one point of the star would point precisely south."

This became significant to me when I read page 5 of H. P. Blavatsky's, The Secret Doctrine. A five-pointed star with two points (or horns) facing upward is an esoteric symbol of the Kali Yuga time cycle, the Age of Iron --

Below are two Aztec type crop formations that fit geometrically with the Gematrian Wheel --

Earth Stars

I found another circle with double five-pointed stars inside -- the Earth as viewed from the North Pole. The image of the map, below, is from David Flynn's book, Cydonia: The Secret Chronicles of Mars --

The caption reads:

Megaliths on the earth seem to be related to each other, built along a "grid" composed of two pentagrams within the circle of the equator. All the monuments fall into place along this grid if one pentagram is "anchored" at Giza & one at the Prime Meridian at 0 longitude. Too many major architectural structures exist along this dual-pentagram design for it to be mere coincidence. This design predicts where megalithic structures will be found, as well.

David is the creator of the great site --

Watchers Web Site

Da Vinci Code

Tally informed me that the number "72" was recently found under the arched bridge in the backdrop of Leonardo da Vinci's famous Mona Lisa painting. Leonardo's drawing of the Vitruvian Man incorporates the geometry of a five-pointed star inside a circle (below, left) --

A Vitruvian Man-Butterfly crop circle formation appeared in the Netherlands in August 2009 (above right).

The Pi Crop Circle Formation

On 1 June 2008, the "Pi" crop circle formation appeared at Barbury Castle --

Astrophysicist, Mike Reed, deciphered the puzzling formation, showing that it is a pictorial representation of the first ten digits of Pi. The diagram on the left, below, illustrates the idea by color code --

Significantly, it is yet another circle divided into ten parts. I created the image on the right, above, to show the placement of the two 5-pointed stars and the Gematrian numbers. It is also significant that when the first ten digits of Pi are multiplied, the result is Gematrian --

3 x 1 x 4 x 1 x 5 x 9 x 2 x 6 x 5 x 4 = 129600

It is 360 squared or 6 to the fourth power times 100. It is also 10 times half the Precession. This number, and its harmonics has repeatedly appeared coded in crop circle formations. It is also known to appear in the ancient code. See --

Code of the Ancients & the DNA Repair

A single star divides the 360 degree circle into five parts of 72 degrees each, giving the series, 72, 144, 216, 288, and 360. With two stars, the circle is marked at 36, 72, 108, 144, 180, 216, 252, 288, 324, and 360. The numbers continue with more revolutions around the wheel. For example, the second revolution marks the numbers 396, 432, 468, 504, 540, 576, 612, 648, 684, and 720.

1296 Connections

The first example of the 1296 type number to appear in the crops happened on 17 July 1991, at Barbury Castle --

From the center of the triangle to its lower-right corner, the angle was 120 degrees. From that point to the center of the ratchet spiral the angle was 108 degrees, i.e., Gematrian. Multiplying the two numbers --

120 x 108 = 12960 (72 x 180)
12960 = 6⁴ x 10

The six arches of the ratchet spiral suggest 6 Ages of 2160 years each, which total 12960 years (half the precession).

This is a large diagram of the 1991 Barbury Castle formation, with details --

http://www.greatdreams.com/numbers/music/bbccbg.gif

The angles mentioned above are --

120 degrees = X and A
108 degrees = A and Y

Incredibly, a friend at work had a dream of being on an airliner driving on a roadway where highways 120 and 108 run together! The context of the dream fit well with the idea of a changing of the Ages.

One theory about the 1991 Barbury Castle crop formation is that it represents the lower triad of the Tree of Life (which appeared as a crop formation in 1997). It is also thought to represent a tetrahedron, a three-dimensional figure composed of four triangular faces. It is said to be the simplest three-dimensional object, and therefore the first solid form created.

Carl Munck states that the the tetrahedron is 720. It shows up in the ancient code. This is figured by the four triangular faces, where each triangle has three angles totaling 180 degrees --

4 x 180 = 720

It may well be that the number 72 and its harmonic, 720, are representative of the creation process itself. See --

DNA 1296 Crop Circle Connections

In late 1995, a work colleague, Jeff, dreamed of being on a spiral staircase with maintenance mechanics on every rung, each having a tool box. I was amazed by the dream and informed Jeff that the dream seemed to be about the "DNA repair."

In January 1996, I wrote a letter to the Editor of the "Sussex Circular" magazine, telling of Jeff's DNA dream. I included information about Munck's Code and the ancient Gematrian numbering system. Around 17 June 1996, a crop circle formation appeared at Alton Barnes, Wiltshire -

It was widely reported that the formation represents DNA, with its double helix. The formation was 648 feet in length, which is half of 1296, and another ancient Gematrian number. The base-ten harmonic, 6480, is one fourth of the precession in years.

In my January 1996 letter to the "Sussex Circular" magazine, I had mentioned the number 648. The number 666 is equally between the Gematrian numbers 648 and 684. The primary Gematrian numbers are evenly devisable by 36, while the "in between" types, such as 666, are evenly devisable by 18.

648 (9 x 72) feet long

The 2002 Mitochondrial DNA Crop Circle Formation

Around August 28,2002, tube torus type crop circle formation appeared at Crooked Soley , near Hungerford, Wiltshire --

The formation is said to represent mitochondrial DNA. There were a total of 1296 little diamonds making up the snake-like pattern. It is based on a pattern with 72 sets of curves.

1296 (18 x 72) little diamond shapes
1296 = 6 x 6 x 6 x 6
1296 = 36²
1296 = 6⁴

The number 1296 is, of course, twice 648, which was the length in feet of the 1996 DNA crop circle. There were 144 curved lines within the tube torus type shape, 72 in one direction, and 72 in the other, making up the net-like pattern, which resembles snake skin.

The twisted ladder type pattern, which resembles the double helix of DNA in a circular design, was composed of 504 little diamond shapes of standing crop. There were 792 little diamond shapes in the torus with laid down crops (504 + 792 = 1296).

The significance of these numbers were quite familiar to me by the time I read the Crooked Soley book, as indicated by previous parts of this article. Adding zeros to the end of the above numbers produces familiar results --

5040 -- factorial of 7 and combined earth-moon radius, related to Plato's Atlantis
7920 -- diameter of the Earth in miles
12960 -- half the number of years of precession, or six ages
5040 = 1 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 5 x 6 x7
7920 = 8 x 9 x 10 x 11

The Decagon of DNA

I pointed out in a previous article on this subject, that a cross-sectional view from the top of the DNA double helix forms a decagon, a 10-sided figure, like two pentagons, with one rotated by 36 degrees from the other. Each spiral of the double helix traces out the shape of a pentagon. The shape, as with the five-pointed star (pentagram), features the Phi ratio or Golden Section. This is an example indicating the geometry --

The Beauty Code

The DNA spiral is a Golden Section

This information about DNA was reported in my article, dated September 3, 2009 --

Code of the Ancients & the DNA Repair

Just under two years later, another crop formation appeared with a similar decagon pattern.

The 2011 DNA Decagon Crop Formation

Around 15 August 2011, a crop formation appeared at Jubilee Plantation. It had a decagon pattern in the central portion --

A closeup view of the wide ring seemed to confirm the DNA connection --

Crop Circle Number Counts

Other crop circle formations indicate Gematrian numbers by the count of the various displayed features. A number of examples are given below.

The Woolstone Hill formation (above, left) has 18 feathers on each side of the square, for a total of 72. The Bad Kissingen formation (above, center) has two sets of 4, 3, 2 sequences of small circles on each side, perhaps suggesting the cycle of time number 432. The Stantonbury Hill  Yin-Yang formation (above, right) has twelve radial lines in the outer ring, each crossed by three small lines, indicating 12 x 3 = 36.

The formation at Marden (above, left), has 18 points in the outer ring, with three other sets of 18 points on the inside. This can figure as 4 x 18 = 72. The formation at Riesi (above, center), has a similar design with a total of 36 points. The formation at Rollright Stones (above, right) can figure as 9 x 4 = 36.

The formation at Honey Street (above, left) can figure as 3 x 12 = 36. The hypercube type formation at Toot Balden (above, center) has 36 rays. It may represent how the creation is created. The formation at Cley Hill (above, right) has 36 lines connected to the twelve-pointed star.

The Upper Upham formation (above, left) has 36 points in each of the four concentric rings, for a total of 144. The 18 cubes in the center each show three faces, which could figure as 18 x 3 = 54. If the six sides of a cube are imagined, the suggested number is 18 x 6 = 108. The Boxley formation (above, right) has twelve major outer star points with three projections on each for a total of 36.

The Watchfield Wind Farm formation (above) had three gear-wheels, each with 18 teeth. The middle circle had a ring of 14 small circles. This could figure as 3 x 18 x 14 = 756. Jerry Iuliano writes --

Half of 756 (378) is the Aztec Hunab Number and the Roman Measures.

Indonesian 72 Connection

In February 2011, I wrote an article about the crop formations that appeared in Indonesia -- not far from two ancient sites -- Prambanan and Borobudur. I included this statement at the beginning --

Note: 504 = 72 x 7

This is also on the Wikipedia page about Borobudur --

Note: 432 = 72 x 6

I found the Borobudur Temple on Google Earth and captured this image --

The three concentric rings of stupas (32, 24 and 16) for the total of 72 can be seen.

Stonehenge as the Gematrian Wheel

Not long after the development of the Gematrian Wheel, I realized that Stonehenge, in its early years, fits well with it. The original Sarsen Circle was constructed of 60 stones -- 30 uprights and 30 cross-pieces, for a total of 60 stones in a circle. For this article, I prepared these images to illustrate --

I searched for a diagram of Stonehenge and found the illustration on the left, above. "Coincidentally," the line at the bottom is marked with the Gematrian numbers, 0, 36, 72 and 108. These are distances in feet. I created the diagram on the right, above, to show the Gematrian points among the 60 stones.

Connections to the Universe

Recent data indicates that the universe is shaped like a soccer ball, a dodecahedron --

A dodecahedron is a three-dimensional object with 12 pentagonal faces. The above image, from Nature Journal, certainly reminded me of the DNA dodecagon and the Gematrian Wheel.

The Shemhamphorasch and the 72 Divine Names

Early in this article, I mentioned the 72 Divine Names. One form is like this --

See: Practical Kabbalah - Talisman's and Masters of the Name

The Shemhamphorasch is similar. This is excerpted from the Wikipedia article --

The Shemhamphorasch is a corruption of the Hebrew term Shem ha-Mephorash, which was used in tannaitic times to refer to the Tetragrammaton. In early Kabbalah the term was used to designate sometimes a seventy-two Letter name for God, and sometimes a forty two Letter name.

Shem ha-Mephoresh: a Hebrew phrase meaning "the Seventy-two-fold Name of God," said to be an extension of the Tetragrammaton. A divine name of 216 letters derived from three verses in the Biblical book of Exodus (Exodus 14:19-21). One of the systems of temurah is used on these verses to obtain 72 names of God, which are each assigned to one of the 72 quinances (sets of five degrees) of the Zodiac. The names of 72 angels are formed by adding the suffixes "yah" or "el" to the 72 God-names. [End of excerpts]

The 72 quinances (sets of five degrees) of the Zodiac figures as --

360 / 72 = 5

The Nineveh Constant

This section is taken from this article: http://www.greatdreams.com/numbers/jerry/sunspot.htm

Another astonishing fact is that a Sumerian clay tablet named after its finding place Nineveh has been found that contains a cosmological constant with a value of 70 * 60^7 (seventy times sixty raised to the power of seven). That's 1959552 followed by 14 zeros

The Nineveh constant, after being decoded by NASA astrophysicist Maurice Chatelain, perfectly described all the orbital times of our planets down to a second if whole fractions of this number are taken. For example Pluto has a perfect 25000 cycles in the Nineveh constant and Halley's Comet has 81.000 cycles. Since the Nineveh constant's measure is the second, it equates to a cycle time of roughly 6.2 million years.

One interesting multiple of the Nineveh Constant (without the ending zeros) is:

1959552 = 72 x 72 x 378
1959552 = 72² x 378
or
1959552 = 5184 x 378

The number 378 was a Roman Measure, and a distance used by the Aztecs called the Hunab. See --

Aztec Hunab Number 378 and 82944

Note: 82944 = 288²
378 + 288 = 666

Jerry mentions the number 5184 (72²) in this article:

Cheops Pyramid Face Angle

[Excerpt]

There are various degree angles given, all in the vicinity of 51.85 degrees, which different scientists have determined represent the intended, finite angle of the Great Pyramid.

Because of the weather worn and sand lashed condition of these limestone sheathed surfaces, the exact degree angle will never be resolved, definitively, by averaging the damaged angles of the casing stones themselves. We do, however, know that the architects were aiming for a figure around 51.85 degrees.

Happily, the true figure can easily be identified mathematically, as there is only one plausible possibility.

1. The sought after, coded angle was 51.84 degrees...for the following reasons:

2. The number 51.84 is an exact fraction of 25920, the anciently used number that described, in years, the duration of the Precession of the Equinoxes for a complete circuit (51.84 X 500 = 25920).

3. The angle, 51.84 degrees, divided by 2 = 25.92...again coding the appropriate numbers related to the Precession of the Equinoxes.

4. It has been determined, through comparative analysis, that the ancient reed measurement was 10.5 feet or 126 inches. Therefore, given that the true length of the Great Pyramid was 756 feet, which equates to 72 reeds per side, the total area that the pyramid covers is 72 X 72 reeds or 5184 square reeds.

5. It will be shown that the Heel stone at Stonehenge resides 259.20 feet from the exact centre of the site to the outlying face of the stone, The azimuth angle from site centre to the south-western extremity face of the stone was intended to convey 51.84 degrees off North.

The Mayan Calendar Connections

The Mayan cycle of time is based on 13 baktun periods of 144000 days each, for a total of 1872000 days. This amounts to approximately 5125 years. The grand cycle, arguably, began in 3114 BC (or 3113), and will end in 2012 AD.

The baktun period and the total cycle of 13 baktun periods are divisible by 72 --

144000 = 72 x 2000
1872000 = 72 x 26000

The 144000 days of each baktun period is "coincidental" with the Book of Revelation.

It is often helpful to remove the ending zeros from the ancient numbers to simplify comparisons.

The Mayan cycle, again, is composed of 13 periods of 144000 days each, for a total of 1872000 days. As reported in the article, Code of the Ancients, these types of Gematrian numbers all add to 9 or a multiple of 9 and are divisible by 9. The primary Gematrian numbers are evenly divisible by 36.

144 = 36 x 4
1872 = 36 x 52

It is said that there are 52 years in a Mayan century. The most interesting connection I found was this:

Remember, from the first part of this article, that 1656 years is the time in years between the creation of Adam to the landing of Noah's Ark. The number 216 is half of 432 and equates to six cubed, or 6 x 6 x 6. The number 2160 is the length of one Zodiac Age in years.

Remember, the number 216 is related to the number letters in the 72 Divine Names, which have 3 letters each, for a total of 216 letters (see image and information above).

After rereading the above paragraphs, another idea struck me. A key number in the New Jerusalem Plan (or design) is 31680 miles. This is figured in two ways. Draw a box around the sphere of the Earth, which has a diameter of 7920 miles (see diagram above). The perimeter of the box is 4 x 7920 = 31680. The second way is to calculate the circumference of the circle that passes through the 12 small circles, each of which is the diameter of the Moon, 2160 miles. In this calculation approximate Pi or Pyramid Pi is used, which is 22/7. The radius of this "Moon" circle is figured by adding the radius of the Earth and the radius of the Moon: 3960 + 1080 = 5040. The circumference of the Moon circle is figured as:

(2 x 22/7) x 5040 = 31680

There is said to be a converting factor with the verses of Revelation 21. The stadia is said to be the same measure as the furlong of 660 feet. Twelve thousand stadia converts to 7920000 feet. The breadth, length, and height are equal, so the figure becomes 4 x 12000 stadia or 48000 x 660 = 31680000 feet.

Dropping the ending zeros, the basic figure is 4 x 12 = 48, and then, 48 x 66 = 3168.

As I thought of this in reviewing the above writings, I noticed the calculations:

144 = 36 x 4
1872 = 36 x 52

It became obvious that:

Finding the difference between two of the key numbers from the Mayan cycle results in the "cube" calculation! This is actually obvious, since 13 x 144 = 1872, while 12 x 144 = 1728.

As mentioned previously, the number 5040 was associated with Atlantis. It is also the product of the numbers 1 through 7 (factorial 7 expressed as 7!):

1 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 5 x 6 x 7 = 5040

Note the 72 multiples of the numbers in the above paragraphs --

(Mayan Cycle) 1872000 days = 72 x 26000 days
1872 = 72 x 26
31680 = 72 x 440
7920 = 72 x 110
2160 = 72 x 30
3960 = 72 x 55
1080 = 72 x 15
5040 = 72 x 70

Pi -- The Movie

The fictional movie "Pi" featured the idea of the 216 Names of God, which have been lost. They must be found, so that the High Priest can say them inside the Holy of Holies on Yom Kippur to bring the Messianic Age and the the revival of the dead.
