Isaac Newton and the " sacred cubit "

[Iak sakkakh]

Isaac Newton sent a man to measure the great Pyramid in Egypt

Newton was convinced that the pyramid contained the secret to predicting the time when the character of " Jesus " { who was actually a fiction based on the god of the Sun, Shamash } would return to earth

Let's disregard that logic was not Newton's strong point, { the Bible says no man would know the day or hour, the character of Jesus himself said there'd be no visible signs of his coming }

The pyramid was a hot topic at the time, especially in the world of mathematics, and there were many conjectures bouncing around, about how the pyramid contained within it's construction, some sort of profound data concerning astronomy / cosmology / geophysical data

The question is, why would Newton have become convinced the Great Pyramid was the key to his search ?

Why not the Kaaba or some random shrine in India or a random rock located some number of paces away from Newton decided by the length of a man's shoelaces and multiplied by an arbitrary term ?

Let's hear what you think

Who did he send?

He sent John Greaves

A DISSERTATION upon the Sacred Cubit of the Jews and the Cubits of the several Nations; in which, from the Dimensions of the greatest Egyptian Pyramid, as taken by Mr. John Greaves, the antient Cubit of Memphis is determined.

Translated from the Latin of Sir Isaac Newton, not yet published.

Linkypoo

[questionmark]

Ah, I see, and 666 of them sacred cubits make the way to the Kaaba... right?

[Eldorado]

Isaac was only ten when Greaves died. Why you telling science dullards like myself nonsense? I'd have believed you if I never had Google!

[Iak sakkakh]

Because if I don't make you fact check me then I could tell you any old things

I like that you go look things up, that will make my job here easier

What you should do is start by going back and reading my thread where I attempted to start explaining Babylonian mathematical astronomy that made it's way into the Bible

That's where people repeatedly said things like " X does not do what you say ", and then continue to read where every single one of them was wrong

Because we are going to reopen that can after we do these

So back to the question:

Why was Newton convinced the pyramid was the key to his search ?

No, what you should do is read the bible as a family history. A book for the family of Moses. And accept that like any "family history", it's full of BS. Like your good self.

lol, the Bible is a highly complex Babylonian mathematical puzzle based on something most people cannot begin to grasp

It is indeed a fiction, is that not obvious ?

Adam is based on Enki, the head gardener....hello...don't even get me started { Or maybe on another thread, we could discuss the roots of astrolatry ? }

So, I'd be careful throwing those accusations around

Back to it: why was Newton fascinated with the Great Pyramid ?

Or a bunch of insanity, hence the reason people cannot come to grasps with it.

Babylonian? The Bible? While the bible is merely recycled mythology from the mmillennia preceding it, what makes you think it has any direct connection to Babylonia?

[ShadowSot]

Well it was certainly influenced by Babylonian religion while the Jews were there.

Ok, so now you have asked it.. Why do you think Newton was fascinated with the Great Pyramid. Quit being preachy and dinking around. You are obviously asking this leading question for a reason- what is your reason?

So back to the question:

Because it was a fashion of the time . It was pop , and Greaves made it so . The reason ? IMO due to some type of undercurrent between Freemasonry and their ideas of proportion and measurement , God being an Architect , and the desire to prove the Bible their religion and their empire was supreme .

This got to ridiculous lengths with Greaves

this is just plain silly, old 'science' early ' archaeology ' , heavily religious biased nonsense !

Did you know another great 'pyramidiot' worked out the pyramid inch ? he spent years calculating the whole thing and worked it all out on paper ... it worked ! He solved it !

Then he went to the Great Pyramid , found the 'boss' protrusion in the entrance passageway to the 'King's' chamber and declared he had found the original standard ... here it was, the Egyptians had placed it there as the standard model of the long searched for 'pyramid inch' !

he measured it to compare it against his work and ....... they got it wrong! He declared .... the Egyptians got it wrong !

So he took out a file and shaved it down to the 'right' length ....

such is the work of the pyramidiot !

Apologies UMers for my rude angry post.

[Habitat]

logic was not Newton's strong point,

Not much hope for the rest of us then.

Don't apology for doing research and being right, my friend. I think it is more rude to post nonsense without researching it first to see if it is actually true.

[Iak sakkakh]

Well, here we are again

So, no conjecture on why Newton was convinced the largest of the three pyramids contained the answers to his searches ?

I could think of one off the top of my head:

Isaac Newton figured out there was a connection between

~ the first verse of the Bible, which was actually a very clever Babylonian alphanumeric puzzle

~ the formula for the volume of a pyramid

~ and the " Seven Seals " of the " Book of Revelation "

~ Pi

[Iak sakkakh]

See if you can figure it out, I got some errands to walk

Here's the clues

Calculate

Just remember: This is a word puzzle based on Pi and Mesopotamian mathematical astronomy in base 60

You must be a horror in yr real life.

How do you figure the first verse of the bible is a Babylonian puzzle? From what source are you drawing this?

[BiffSplitkins]

This reminds me of one of my former co-worker's (in the IT world) theory of The Universal Mathematics Matrix. He tried to explain to me once about measurements taken of the pyramids being equal to syllable phrasings in the ancient Hebrew Bible.

William was a super intelligent guy when I worked with him. He would get really excited that I wanted to learn his theory and move too quickly for me to understand what he was trying to tell me.

ah well... I could also tell you stories of very intelligent people with a very unintelligent inclination.....

[Grandpa Greenman]

I have a friend who is really smart, but some of the stuff he comes up with is.. bahahaha I try not to laugh, though. He has cool toys, he owns a shotgun and lets me shoot it. Sometimes it is better just to let it go.... hehehe

None of this proves Isaac Newton did this though ... thats just your claim ... unless you can prove it ....

..... waiting .....

I already explained what this interest in the GP was about .

But obviously, other peoples ideas will be invalid as they are not yours.

Proving his outrageous claims does not appear to be his strong point.
