Ancient astronomy was about time not space. It counted time between sky events and generated numbers and ratios between. These numbers were later codified as sacred numbers within ancient texts and monuments, to reflect the numerical order of the Cosmos. Aspects of this story are explored in this site and my books.

- 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. - Design of the Taj Mahal: its Façade
The Taj Mahal is one of the most recognizable buildings on earth. It was built by a Moghul king as a memorial for his dead queen and for love itself. The Mughals became famous for their architecture and the Persian notion of the sacred garden though their roots were in Central Asia just north of Persia. - Gurdjieff, Octave Worlds & Tuning Theory (2019)

It discusses saints’ locations, Columbus’s explorations, Templar disappearances, and maritime traditions. The narrative links these geographic lines to cultural, spiritual, and historical events, suggesting deeper connections in European and New World history. - Tetraktys as plan of planetary harmony and the four Elements
