In the stone age, counting the days between sky events revealed a wealth of relationships between the numbers counted and the geometrical ratios between them. These numbers were codified as being sacred in the ancient world’s texts and monuments which reflected the numerical order in the heavens onto Earth . Aspects of this story are explored by the articles on this website and, more deeply, within my books.

- Understanding Lunar Maxima: Ancient Insights Explained
Stone Age astronomy focused on celestial time cycles and natural units, allowing astronomers to develop intricate cosmic meanings. As civilizations advanced, attention shifted to space and scientific models, diminishing the intimate connection to time. Notably, the development of megalithic measurements reflected their unique perception of time, emphasizing a geometric understanding of their environment. - Knossos and Malia: Minoan Secrets of the Nodal Cycle and its Geometry
This highlights the Minoan civilization’s understanding of sacred geometry, through measuring the distances and dimensions of two significant sites in Crete, the temples of Knossos and Malia. Calculations then connect the temples to the lunar nodal cycle, the English mile, and the diameter of Stonehenge in the architecture and dimensions of these palaces. - Kilclooney More Dolmen
The text discusses an Irish dolmenA chamber made of vertical megaliths upon which a roof or ceiling slab was balanced. and the use of megalithic measurements related to sacred geometries and lunar cycles. It explains the significance of various lengths and units, such as the megalithic rod and Assyrian foot, in the context of ancient cultures and their alignment with astronomical events, particularly around eclipses and lunar months. - Shaping of Stones in Alignments
Megalithic sites are subject to strict evidence criteria regarding solar and lunar alignmentsIn general, to the sun and moon on the horizon, rising in the east or setting in the west.
Also, a name special to Carnac's groups of parallel rows of stones, called Le Menec, Kermario, Kerlescan, and Erdevan.. Studies show that stone configurations often indicate astronomical events, with specific shapes reflecting lunar cycles. Notably, the alignment of stones at sites like Le Manio and Carnasserie highlight ancient observation techniques, suggesting intentional design to mark celestial occurrences. - Exploring the Astronomical Basis of the 260-Day Almanac
The Mayan 260-day sacred year, structured on 13 and 20-day periods, aligns with solar and Venus calendars. Robert D. Peden emphasizes its accuracy in syncing with tropical years over cycles, suggesting a profound astronomical foundation for Mesoamerican calendars. This reveals ancestral knowledge of cosmic time systems integral to their culture. - Centers of the World
Explores the concept of sacred centers in relation to ancient civilizations and their geographical patterns. It discusses how these centers, influenced by Earth’s nature, manifest through numerically significant shapes and polygons. The movement from the poles affects mapping and measurements, revealing harmonious relations in spatial designs reflective of cosmic principles. - Easter Aquhorthies
Easter Aquhorthies (i.e. apocathery) has eleven stones in a circle and in between the two south-to-south-west stones is a large (bridging) recumbent stone, more commonly found in Scottish circles and associated (by Alexander ThomScottish engineer 1894-1985. Discovered, through surveying, that Britain's megalithic circles expressed astronomy using exact measures, geometrical forms and, where possible, whole numbers.) to lunar observatories because, in Scotland at lunar maximum standstill, the moon can rest upon or be hidden by a raised horizon. - Goddess of Time in the Sky
Explores the relationship between ancient astronomical practices and megalithic cultures, highlighting how early societies understood time through celestial cycles. It contrasts matrilineal hunter-gatherer societies with later patriarchal agricultural ones, suggesting that megalithic structures reflect deep, sacred knowledge of the cosmos and have influenced subsequent architectural designs across civilizations. - Modularity of Seven
Sacred Geometry is metrical, it is based upon the interactive properties of “natural” (that is, whole) numbers and cosmic constants. - Metrology of a Bronze Age Dodecahedron
The Norton Disney Archaeology Group found an example of a “Gallo Roman Dodecahedron”. One of archaeology’s great enigmas, there are now about 33This is the number of years for an exact number of 12053 days. This period can be measured using the equinoctal sun and it has come to be known as the lifetime of semi-divine Solar Heroes such as Jesus and Mithras. This period relates geometrically to the 18.618 years of the moon's nodal period. known examples in what was Roman occupied Britain. - Cubes: The Ancient Division of the Whole
Volume as cubes reveal the wholeness of number as deriving from the unit cube as corner stone defining side length and “volume” of the whole.
