I can't believe I read that whole thing. I'm going to make my husband read it so he can have a headache, too.
Don't you just hate it when you follow a link and and are so absorbed that you forget to book market it.
I have spent a good hour watching a link on on Geo mathematics that had me so glued to my seat it did the job of curling my hair.
This was a documentary of a college class on Mathematics applied to the past. How the builders of ancient monuments that we considered as primitive people people builder the Pyramids and all the to their other sights about the world to all Aline to the same longitude and latitude all over the world thousands of years ago.
Premises is was was the ancient people were more advanced then us and used another form of PI in math then we do today.
A consent of 360 degrees was known word wide, a constant, When compaired all their math came up to be be better to when what we use today.The instructor claims that we need to shit can all our math concepts when studying the past and to think as the the ancients did to understand just how the Hell all these things were build, Lots of places in the US with odd mounds that face in direct line with Stone Hedge and Giza.
Ohio has a huge mound, man make in the past as does Florida, called the Panther Mound with the paws facing West. All along the same latitude as the the Pyramids .All inter connect with the Stone Hedge. Then South America and the temples they are all built on the same same direction, Can this be a conincidence over thousands of years ???
So this Professor threw away the notion of modern math and decided to see how Primitives could have built these things without our modern math, -----He took their measurements and wondered how they could do this
with this without algebra or the idea of PI as most especially the one in Germany was perfectly round with no flaw.------Got to remember these designers lived 5,000 +years before Christ.
Secret to making a perfect circle on the ground. Place pole on ground. Attach rope and pull it taut. Walk around pole holding rope taut. Voila, perfect circle.

What is (are) mathitics?
There were hundreds of years of trial and error before the Egyptians homed in on an engineering solution and figured out how to do it right,...
Math fascinates me, especially the idea of how people all over the world 5-10 thousands of years ago all used the same concept before the zero was invented.
My question was how primitives in Ohio were able to calculate the exact degree of their mound to Aline exactly with the Mound in Germany, coincidence ????
The angle of slope of the Giza pyramids is the same as the angle of slope produced by trickling Sahara sand into a pile, earlier pyramids built with steeper angles proved very difficult to complete and were prone to collapse. There were hundreds of years of trial and error before the Egyptians homed in on an engineering solution and figured out how to do it right, they didn't contract the thing out to an A&E firm with surety bonds to nail it on the first try.Thus resulting on what is refered to as the "bent" pyramids. A good example being the Sneferu structure.

Typically, one or more corners would begin to fail, and they shallowed the angle from there.
Quite ingenious.
Vesta,
That's misleading. Zero was used only as a place holder (e.g. 10, 100, etc.) as early as 4,000 to 5,000 years ago by the Sumerians. But it was not used as a real number until the fifth century A.D. in India.
Just a coincidence.
Test your primitive non-calculator skills. Can you determine in thirty seconds if the number4890767566789657453424859065646348799
is divisible by 3? Is it?

Wait a minute. Can I change my answer?
OK, yes.

The dog ate my homework. Really!

Dammit, nobody told me there was gonna be a quiz!

Hey Dog, is that a firm maybe? (http://members.socket.net/~mcruzan/avatars/gator.gif)

Vesta, you OK? Didn't have a stroke, did you?
But really, how would we know?
:popcorn:
Easy Mr. DumbAss, when I begin to speak of Obama in a kindly view point, then I have had a Minnie stroke. A minor stroke is when I begin to speak of old Joe Biden as a statesman. A middling stroke I will begin to extold all Barney Frank has done for us.
A major stroke is when I am carted off muttering about some Nebraska Coach that sleeps naked, and owns cats.
Well now, I thought a Minnie stroke would be when you started wearing a bow on top of your head and your ears got really, really big...
Heard about her, the scourage of the water front. She was known to slip sailors a Mickey and rob them blind.
