Errors and Notes
Chapter 1: page 24: first line: "cannot" and "be" in wrong order
Chapter 2: page 34: figure 2.3: The Wheel of Generation
"Figure 2.3: The ratio 29/28 is repeated in the Wheel of Generation. Shouldn't the second "29/28" be "30/29" and the subsequent two (2) ratios adjusted accordingly (i.e., to 31/30 and 32/31)?" - MWH.Yes indeed! It was in the back of my mind but it had been realised in Actrix whereas I had to move to Visio when that was discontinued and ceased to work, but this could have been changed as a bitmap but was forgotten amongst all the new pictures. - Master of Excuse Notes
Chapter 4: page 64: Figure 4.7- How Latitude was measured in ancient Egypt
The caption of Figure 4.7 should end:
The caption has got caught between two types of latitude measurement. The modern convention for measuring the north-south distance between, say, "latitude 31o north" would be to measure 30-31o. However it was natural for the ancient Egyptian pyramid building culture to instead measure 29.5 to 30.5 degrees, because the northernmost point of Egypt, the Nile delta, reached exactly 30.5 degrees north. It is these degrees of latitude that are given by the different side lengths of the Great Pyramid times its height, according to John Neal in All Done With Mirrors, Secret Academy, 2000.
Chapter 4: Carnac: Dolman at Gavrinis and Tumuli
- The entrance tunnel has the Moon (at 18.618 year lunar maximum) directly aligned, whilst the Sun, at Winter solstice, just penetrates (diagonally) to the end of the tunnel, south side. This differs from the description on page 80, 3rd paragraph, where the Sun was said to align with the tunnel axis and the Moon, at maximum, diagonally. However, this should not affect most readers, since the only point is that such accurate alignments were achieved in these dry-stone structures.
Regarding the initial built of quartz tumuli in a 4Km grid, the earliest, Krucado, has been dated to 5800 B.C.E. This is fully 2000 years before Gavrinis, demonstrating the extended period of megalithic works around the Bay of Morbihan.
Chapter 5: page 99 - Missing quotes as the quote runs on
The first four paragraphs on page 99 continue quoting Jean Richer's experience and without the quotes it is possible to think the words my own, although the end note is the reference to Jean Richer's book Sacred Geography of the Ancient Greeks, SUNY, 1994.
Chapter 5: page 121: paragraph 2: line 4 "whose people who now occupy Wales"
Chapter 8: page 167: Figure 8.5 - Chartres and the half and whole tone ratios
"The graphic shows the length of Chartres as 18 units and the diagonal as 19 units long." - AGEB However, these lengths should be shown as 15:16.
I was not able to notice that I had put in the ratio between the Saturn and Jupiter synods (Chapter One) because 18:19 is a significant ratio too. The half tone is 15:16, the ratio between the lunar year and Saturn synod.
