The Inch, The Megalithic Yard and The Sumerian Inch
Since I last posted I spent a few days reading “Who Built the Moon?” by Christopher Knight and Alan Butler. This is a worthwhile light read for the first two-thirds of the book then they sort of deviate into a very different sort of theory. They conclude with several very interesting appendices. I spent a long time studying their numbers. I would like to add to their discussion of the Moon and known ancient measurement systems without revealing their discoveries.
They state early in their book that the Sumerian Kush (cubit) is equal to 19.57″ which is incorrect. (A. E. Berriman) A Kush was 30 Sumerian inches of .66 inches long or 19.80″. This 19.57″ gives an inch of .652″. This was a unit in use just north of Sumeria in Akkad. Although it is off by a hair, over long distances the difference is dramatic.
A Kush of 19.8″ equals one-tenth of an English rod. (A rod is 198″ or 16.5 feet.) A rod is a length that is used in surveying. The average diameter of the Earth – 7920 miles – divided by this number 19.8 equals 400. Much of Knight’s and Butler’s arguments relate to the appearance of the ratio of 400 in measurements between the Earth-Moon-Sun. The diameter of the Sun is 400 times that of the Moon’s. The ratio of the distances between the Earth – Moon and Earth – Sun is 400.
So, then we have a Sumerian inch of .66 inches. Two of these equals an Indus inch of 1.32 inches. 30 of them equals a Kush and 50 of them equals 33″ which is known as Akbar’s yard. (33″ = 83.82 cm) (59.65 Sumerian Inches = a meter.)
The length of a megalithic yard is also discussed a great deal. This is a measurement determined by Alexander Thom to be the unit of measure of the megalithic structures throughout England. It is considered to be 2.722 feet +/- 0.002 feet (82.96656 cm +/-0.061 cm). Knight and Butler point out several coincidences with this measurement with the Earth-Moon-Sun mostly supporting the idea that the meter was the standard of measure of the ancient peoples.
However, this position does not allow them to note that 2.722 reminds one distinctly of the circumference of the Sun in miles at 2,715,400 miles. They also miss the following co-incidence. This measurement – in feet – is the value of e, the base in which natural logs are computed. (e = 2.71828) Indeed, this value is even more reminiscent of the circumference of the Sun in miles. We of course recall the diameter of the Sun is 864366 miles which equates to ten times the seconds in a day just as if the mile was once the ancient standard.
2.722 feet is 32.66 inches. This falls out oddly if computed in Sumerian inches to 49.49. But if we divide it by 50 we obtain .653 inches. Using 2.72 feet we obtain .652 inches or the Akkadian inch that Knight and Butler were using. Fifty of the .66 inches gives 2.75 feet. The long and the short of the argument is that the Sumerian inch is directly related to both the English system and to Thom’s Megalithic Yard.
We add to Knight and Butler’s list of co-incidences further by noting that there are 12 x 109.09 Kush in the diameter of the moon at 2160 miles. The diameter of the Sun divided by the diameter of the Earth is also 109.09. And the 36″ of the English yard divided by 33″ of Akbar’s yard = 1.09.
This interesting observation can also be added. If the word Kush is translated into Hebrew gematria we obtain k = 20, u = 6, and sh = 300 or a sum of 326. ??? As in 32.6 inches in 2.72 feet or a Megalithic Yard. But I quote A.E. Berriman’s units of measurement from his fastidious work “Historical Metrology” and he spells the word kus which then converts to k = 20, u = 6, s = 60 or a sum of 86. This is the diameter of the Sun stated above. Both of which are thought provoking co-incidences.
Based on an English Inch, the Sumerian inch of .66 inches reminds us of the velocity of the Earth at 66,622 miles per hour but -only- if the inch is the known standard. Otherwise, it is just a unit of one. It is also interesting that 49.49 x .66 inches equals a Megalithic Yard of 2.72 feet and Japheth (one of Noah’s sons) in gematria is 490. The meaning of Japheth is perfect.
This loops around quite a bit with these numbers repeating and reappearing. But I will stop here so that should you read their book, you will know there is more to it.
Have a very good new year. (written January 2013, last updated Nov. 2018.)
The Mystery of Noah’s Age…Revisited
B.L. Freeborn – Oct. 2012 (updated Sept. 2022)
Noah’s age, 950 years, was the original topic of this blog and solving the mystery behind it. Once it is figured out the mystery and the mocking stops, and it is not quite as fun anymore. So, do we really want to solve it?
In earlier posts it was speculated that 950 is a limit and the many ways to convert the number to obtain other numbers was discussed.
Looking back over all those numbers one number should have stood out. Notice that if 950 is inches we obtain 950 / 12 = 79.16 feet and we can also say that if 950 meant months then we obtain the same 79.16 years. This should have been a glaring red flag but most people do not see it as important for one of two reasons. The first reason is their society has already shifted away from the ancient system of measurement and is now using the less scientific (Yes – less!) metric system and so, do not recognize the importance of this number.
The second reason is, although they may live in a country such as the US, still using the more scientific system (yes – more!) of feet and miles, they just do not recognize the number as representing the diameter of the planet they are sitting upon. The average diameter of the Earth is 7920 miles which any educated person should have recognized in 79.16 in a jiffy (but we didn’t).
So let us list the quarrels that will arise from this paragraph:
1 – Is the mile a more scientific system than the metric?
2 – Does Noah’s age refer to the diameter of the planet?
The derivation of the mile system is something of a wonder and leaves one with the chilling realization that as far as science goes, we are just babes lost in the woods. Note just these few simple facts. The number of seconds in a day is 86400. The number of seconds of longitude is 86400, also. The diameter of the Sun is 864000 miles. Each mile is composed of 5280 feet. The average diameter of the Earth is 7920 miles or 5280 x 1.5. The time it takes light to travel from the Sun to earth is 500 seconds and therefore to cross Earth’s orbital diameter is 1000 seconds. It is as if someone long ago chose these units of measure because they reveal the harmony of the universe.
The second question can only be answered by looking at the other ages of the patriarchs for similar information.
By listing the patriarchs, the age at which they fathered a son and the age to which they lived, a table can be formed. If we are diligent we can add the gematria of each man’s name as a first column. We will use the original spelling of the name as found in the Torah and the number value for each Hebrew letter as still used today.
So we have……
MAN’S SON LIVED TOTAL YEAR
NAME: GEMATRIA BORN AFTER AGE DIED
_______________________________________________
ADAM 45 130 800 930 930
SETH 700 105 807 912 1042
ENOSH 357 90 815 905 1140
KENAN 210 70 840 910 1235
MAHALALEL 136 65 830 895 1290
JARED 214 162 800 962 1422
ENOCH 84 65 300 365 987
METHUSALEH 784 187 782 969 1656
LAMECH 90 182 595 777 1651
NOAH 58 500 350 950 2006 Born in 1056 (biblical count)
This is the compiled list of the generations of Adam. If there is any validity to the idea that Noah’s age divided by 12 represents the diameter of the Earth then something else here must support that idea.
With very little trouble we see that Enoch did not live as long as his sires. In fact, the poor fellow lived about 1/3 of their life spans. He died at the respectable age of 365 years which sounds remarkably like the number of days in a year.
What else?
Noah’s gematria is 58 and his father was 500 when he was born. Compare 58 to the distance Earth travels about the Sun in any given year or just over 584 million miles. Furthermore, compare this 584 to 58,500 (gematria followed by father’s age).
Twice the number of feet in a mile is 10560 and the year Noah was born was 1056.
Here is another example of how this is built to make us look closer. See the 777. The number itself catches our attention with its solid repetition. Does it seem as if it is bracketed by the 950 and 969 to draw our attention even further? And looking closer at the 595 to its left, 969 above it and 782 kitty-corner, we find the average of 595 and 969 is? 782. This repeats the 782 and is very nearly the value of Methusaleh’s gematria of 784. This value reminds us somewhat of the polar diameter of Earth at 7899 miles but not enough to be convincing. However, 784 does equal 14 x 56!
If you care to work on it for yourself, you will find that some numbers are sines, cosines and tangents. This is a mystery worth solving!
Re-writing English History while Solving the Sator-Rotas, Part I
-B.L.Freeborn, (c) Oct. 2012 -last updated Sept. 2022
The “Sator Rotas” to an archaeologist is a trivial, long worn out mystery. To any fifth grader it is a quick puzzle. After the fifth grader explains it to the archaeologist then it becomes an out-of-place artifact.
Sator-Rotas from Cirencester, Wikipedia.
Let us first discover what is known and believed about this grid before we look at the way an un-influenced mind would perceive it.
It is a five by five grid of letters that has been found in several places spanning both time and distance. The oldest is dated to 79 AD from Pompeii. The clear representation pictured below is from Oppede, France. A number of them have been found in England. Others have been found throughout Europe and one has been found in Syria. It is assumed it is in Latin. It is thought to be a secretive sign between Christians but others consider it magical. There are others who think it is a Jewish puzzle.
Before we throw the current translation out, let us reiterate it:
From Wikipedia we have………
“Sator Sower, planter; founder, progenitor (usually divine); originator
Arepo (arrepo) (I) creep/move stealthily towards, also trust, or likely an invented proper name. Its similarity with arrepo, from ad repo, ‘I creep towards’, may be coincidental
Tenet holds, keeps; comprehends; possesses; masters; preserves
Opera work, care; aid, service, (an) effort/trouble
Rotas (rota) wheel, rotate; (roto) (I) whirl around, revolve rotate; used in the Vulgate Psalms as a synonym for whirlwind and in Ezekiel as plain old wheels.”
They continue with …
“One likely translation is “The farmer Arepo has [as] works wheels [a plough]”; that is, the farmer uses his plough as his form of work. Although not a significant sentence, it is grammatical; it can be read up and down, backwards and forwards. C. W. Ceram also reads the square boustrophedon (in alternating directions). But since word order is very free in Latin, the translation is the same.”
Now let’s think about this….. They have been found in England. They have been found in Italy – Pompeii, Portugal, France, and Syria. So is it logical to conclude it is written in Latin? Probably. However – let us pause to think like a modern fifth grader who speaks the language spoken in England at this current time which is conveniently – this one.
What would a fifth grader see?
I suspect he/she could make a rather large list of words very similar to the list compiled below. The first two words any fifth grader is likely to identify are TEN and NET. Surely, the word ten appears four times and when read in the opposite direction they spell net. The four “nets” create a picture which forms a net spread out from the central N.
These are in fact two very revealing words which will lead us forward – momentarily. Our fifth graders would also spot the words SAT and ARE very quickly. A very bright child might find the word OPERA and then OPERATOR. We would not expect them to find TOR since it is not commonly used today but they would see the commonly used English word TENET. They might go on to find POT, OPEN and AT. They of course would not realize that they are finding Modern English words in a puzzle written many years before the creation of the language they speak. Unless!!!! There is something we do not understand about English.
This has led us off topic but it is a necessary deviation. The history of the English language must be checked. Is it possible this is written in modern English or even Old English?
No.
Or that is what we must infer from references such as the quote below from Wikipedia: English Language which does not conflict with other references on the subject. (Reference notes are found in Wikipedia article.)
“Historically, English originated from the fusion of closely related dialects, now collectively termed Old English, which were brought to the eastern coast of Great Britain by Germanic (Anglo-Saxons) settlers by the 5th century – with the word English being derived from the name of the Angles, and ultimately from their ancestral region of Angeln (in what is now Schleswig-Holstein).[12] A significant number of English words are constructed based on roots from Latin, because Latin in some form was the lingua franca of the Christian Church and of European intellectual life.[13] The language was further influenced by the Old Norse language due to Viking invasions in the 8th and 9th centuries.
The Norman conquest of England in the 11th century gave rise to heavy borrowings from Norman-French, and vocabulary and spelling conventions began to give the appearance of a close relationship with Romance languages[14][15] to what had then become Middle English. The Great Vowel Shift that began in the south of England in the 15th century is one of the historical events that mark the emergence of Modern English from Middle English.”
So, according to this English, even as Old English, was a dialect developed 400 years too late.
Darn!!! And it works so well in English if you look at the gematria. Like, the four tens actually are made of four 10’s!
Well, they do! Look…..
Using the Hebrew sounds for these letters, not a modern gematria for English letters and not translating them to Greek or Roman gematrias we substitute according to this:
A = 70
E = 1
R = 200
S = 60
T = 9
P = 80
N = 50 but if it considered to be a Hebrew Alef then = 1
let O = 6
S A T O R 60 70 9 6 200
A R E P O 70 200 1 80 6
T E N E T 9 1 50 1 9
O P E R A 6 80 1 200 70
R O T A S 200 6 9 70 60
By this replacement, using the sounds provided by the Hebrew letters, we observe that indeed the tens create ten. There are four of them around a central 50.
The four tens sum to 40. This is a significant number. A square of sides of 40 has a diagonal of 56.56 which is a number often pointed out as important in these posts. Or they might see it as a very Biblical number as in “Moses wandered for 40 years and it rained for 40 days and 40 nights.”
When the 40 is added to the 50 it sums to 90. Furthermore, each ten is at 90 degrees to the other which is true if the longitude and latitude of the planet is called a “net” and the four cardinal directions are then at 90 degrees to each other just as shown.
In other words: North, South, East and West are at 90 degrees to each other and each is depicted by the word NET fanning out from the center.
We take this idea one step further. Each degree of longitude and latitude is made of 60 minutes and each of those minutes of 60 seconds. Note that each 9 + 1 or ten when added to the central 50 creates 60. There are four 9’s on the exterior of the net and 4 x 9 = 36 which then suggests the number of minutes in a degree or 360.
Not convinced?
Sator-Rotas from Oppede, France, Wikipedia
Hmmm. In this image of the Sator Rotas from France the N is reversed which calls attention to it. The Hebrew Alef and the letter N are very similar. This letter in Hebrew has the value 1. Now if the central letter is allowed both values, both 50 and 1, then their sum is 51 and 51 degrees is the latitude of Greenwich, England from which longitude is measured today. It is in the center of both the puzzle and the Net created by longitude and latitude numbered from Greenwich.
If the letters surrounding the center (REPEREPE) are summed, the number 564 is obtained. This is significant. The value ‘560’ was discussed in the prior post about the Hebrew alphabet. 40, 56, and 79 are the three most important numbers in this secret system. The 40 we have touched upon. The 79 appears as the word AT and might be said to refer to the diameter of the Earth at 7920 miles. It most certainly refers to something the ancients kept as an ultimate secret. Indeed, the word AT is very appropriate. The 56 appears in the sum of the letters REPEREPE (564) surrounding the middle. It is often found in secret writings as 565 or 56.5. If the center is allowed to be 1 then the 565 appears quite nicely. This also repeats in the RPNPR diagonal. 560 + 50 or 56.50?! But that can also be said to be 610 which repeats the 60’s.
Is this all that is hidden here?
No, it is a very plush garden of numerical facts. Notice that our ten’s reveal something else. The closest distance Earth comes to the sun is considered to be 91.4 million miles. Our 9 + 1 + 50 can be re-written as 91.50 miles. Not too bad for a bit of graffiti!
The circumference of the Sun is 2.72 million miles. Ra is the Sun God of the Egyptians. R = 200 and A = 70 …..Ra. RA appears four times.
More? Yes!
I would be disappointed if the diameter of the Sun was not easily found and there….summing the exterior letters we find it equals 860. The diameter of the Sun is 864,000 miles plus a few.
Here then is another point. Hebrew does not have the letter O so the value for ‘v’, which also serves for letters w and u, was used as 6. There is some logic to using 7 for the O. Seven is the value for the letter ‘z’ in Hebrew. Z is the first letter in zero and zero was originally called ‘cipher.’ If the value 7 is used then the exterior sum is 864 and that perfectly reflects the diameter of the Sun. What is more, ATO would then sum to 86 which would repeat it.
This then is no simple rhyme about farmers with fabricated names tilling soil. It is in fact a dire message.
To obtain this message we must take a daring step. We will declare the establishment, quite respectfully of course, in grave error. For this is a grave matter and an even deadlier message. We will accept that this is not written in Modern English but will allow it to be plain OLD ENGLISH. Why Old English and not French, German or Russian? 10 !!! How is it said in French – dix, in Spanish – diaz, in German – zehn, in Russian – desyat, in Hebrew – yod, in Latin!!! – decem, and in English both old and new – ten!!! So, English it is!
We think these willy nilly old timers knew nothing of longitude and latitude. Maybe that is an incorrect perception as well! We have already seen the 60’s. We even found 610 in one diagonal. The sum of the opposing diagonal SRNRS is 570. What is 570 and why is it pertinent to longitude and latitude? The value of a radian is 57.29 degrees. Radians are used in circular measure. That is important in longitude and latitude, and other matters involving the circular movement of objects.
Shall we explore further? Shall we look at what has become an eerily out-of-place artifact? Is this evidence of time travel or evidence that we just do not understand something?
So, we diligently continue………………………..
We find these words in this little 25 letter grid.
In bold-italics is the Old English Spelling as provided by “The Student’s Dictionary of Anglo-Saxon,” by Henry Sweet, Oxford at the Clarendon Press, 1896. A few spellings are provided by “The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language,” Houghton Mifflin Company, 1976. The Modern English equivalent is then provided. ME denotes Middle English, OF – Old French, and bold-italic – Old English.

This is a substantial list of Old English words. What is very odd is that the Sator words are closer to modern English than Old English. From this we might easily conclude that the historian’s have misunderstood something. This simple out-of-place artifact suggests Old English was spoken as a distinct language some 500 years before it was supposedly invented.
Perhaps our understanding can be improved by looking at the numbers. They have not all been sought out. This and a more proper translation is the topic of the next post.
We shall let this mystery rest for a few days before we study the numbers.
Re-writing English History while Solving the Sator-Rotas, Part II
– B. L. Freeborn (c) Oct. 2012 -last updated Sept. 2022
We have been discussing the Sator-Rotas and how it changes our understanding of the English language.
Curiosity piqued? Must we toss out all the history books?
Perhaps our understanding can be improved by looking at the numbers. They have not all been sought out.

And who is the author of this ancient puzzle? Whose secret message was this?
English is the modern way of saying Engle, Anglo, or Angle. And how does one determine latitude? Do we not take a measurement in degrees off the Sun? Do we not measure its angle? Perhaps we should call the Sun – Ra and measure its rays? We can deduce that the puzzle is the work of: an Anglo, who knew Hebrew numbers and letters, the Latin Alphabet, and key astronomical values. The author was also initiated into the secrets of the Anglos, Egyptians and the Hebrews.
And so we come to understand the very beginnings of the English language. We now know a little more about who spoke it, when they spoke it, and where the word Anglo for English comes from. We can also date the use of Greenwich as the zero longitude line to the early days of the Christian era or before.
A new understanding is revealed so neatly by a little puzzle!
A Little Mystery Hidden in the Hebrew Alphabet
– B. L Freeborn, Oct. 2012 (last updated Nov. 2018)
There is a similarity between the Hebrew Alphabet and the Sator-Rotas. A few minutes of time spent looking at the alphabet may help us with the long worn out mystery of the Sator-Rotas.
In 1933, J.P. Frey suggested that Latin speaking Jews were the likely source of the Sator-Rotas Square because of their love of puzzles and because there were Jewish settlements in the area of Pompeii, the location of the oldest known encryption. Duncan Fishwick, MA, University of St. Michael, Toronto discussed this and other ideas in his 1959 article about the Square.
The Sator Rotas has perplexed many noble minds. The more time that passes the more answers are proposed. I am not proposing an answer just yet. That can wait a few more posts. I am only building on Frey’s observation noted above. Duncan’s complete article is available here.

The Sator-Rotas dates back to 79 AD Pompeii. We look at the Square and note that around a central N is two circles of letters in a square fashion. The inner ring of letters is EPEREPER. The exterior circle creates the name of the puzzle: Sator-Rotas or Rotas-Sator. Now observe the similarity of this puzzle to the Hebrew Alphabet.
Recall that the Latin Alphabet is composed of 52 symbols for 26 sounds. There are two symbols for each sound which are a capital letter and a small letter. Similarly, the Hebrew Alphabet is composed of 27 symbols for 22 sounds. Only five sounds have two symbols but they are not “capitals.” They are used when the sound falls at the end of a word. So we might group this alphabet into two parts.
Those without endcaps:
and the five pairs with their endcaps: 
The first seventeen letters do not have ‘caps.’ The last ten letters are the pairs for the sounds which equate to k, m, n, p and ts in English.
The first letter that looks like an ‘N’ is the letter ‘Alef’. Because of its similarity to ‘N’ and its central place in the Sator puzzle we will pull it out and make it the center once again. Now we have our central letter “N” or Alef, the inner circle composed of the ten letters that have endcaps and the outer ring composed of the 16 other letters.
Similarity between Hebrew Alphabet and Sator-Rotas
If the alphabet is also a puzzle then we are left with a clue by understanding that each letter represents a number as well as a sound. The letter ‘Alef’ equals one. The next letter equals 2, and so forth. The sum of all 27 letters in this alphabet is 1775. This letter for a number is what is called the gematria values. From here the puzzle unravels in numbers. Take note of the following:
The total sum of the alphabet is 1775 and 1775 = pi x 565. Interestingly 1/1775 = .000563.
The central number of the alphabet is 1 and sums to 1.
The outside sixteen letter group of the alphabet sums to 1214. This is interesting but not significant here. However, it is important that the exterior ring on the Sator Square is also made of 16 letters.
It is of ultimate importance that the ten letters with endcaps sum to 560. This is nearly the same as 565 seen above.
So, we have an image created by 1 in the center, then 560 and then 1214.
Compare then this next similarity to the Sator puzzle. If “one” is considered to be the center then the EPEREPER inner ring, when converted to numbers using the Hebrew equivalents, becomes:
E = 1
R = 200
P = 80
This gives us the string of numbers: 1, 80, 1, 200, 1, 80, 1, 200 which sums to 564
and plus the central ‘Alef’ or 1 equals 565.
The 560 and 565 of the alphabet reappears in this puzzle as the 564 or 565 of the center of the puzzle.
All those familiar with Hebrew will recognize this pattern, 565, from the letters which spell Yahweh or 5,6,5,10.
Interest piqued? Note this other little mathematical fact about the alphabet. That 1 and 560 appears in other places. Two instances are 10560 and 1056.
In what year was Noah born? 1056 (Biblical counting that is. Not real years.)
And 10560 is 2 x 5280. Which is easily recognized! No? How many feet are in a mile?
We are led on a further quest…..Who designated the feet in a mile? Who designed the alphabet? What is the meaning of 56?
I let this whole matter rest for consideration before the Sator Rotas is examined further.
Thanks for reading. Feel free to leave a question or a comment.
Skewed Beauty or Skewed Radio-Carbon Dating?

I am going to offer up an explanation that is unique. But before we step out of the box and think creatively let us recap what the academics tell us.
The Venus Figurines are usually headless, arm-less, feet-less images of rotund, deformed females. Specimens are modest in size ranging from an inch to ten inches in height. They have been found mostly in Europe but with finds as distant as Irutsk Oblast in Siberia. Notable specimens are dated as follows (per Wikipedia):
- Venus of Hohle Fels, 35-40 thousand years from Swabian Alb, Germany;
- Venus of Galgenberg, 30 thousand years from Lower Austria;
- Venus of Dolni Vestonice, 27-31 thousand from Moravia, Czech Republic;
- Venus of Lespuque, 24-26 thousand from French Pyrenees;
- Venus of Willendorf, 24-26 thousand from Lower Austria;
- Venus of Mal’ta, 23 thousand from Irkutsk Oblast, Russia;
- Venus of Moravany, 23 thousand from Moravany nad Vahom, Slovakia;
- Venus of Brassempouy, 22 thousand from Aquitaine, France;
- Venus of Laussel, 20 thousand from Dordogne, France;
- Venus figures of Gonnersdorf, 11, 5-15 thousand from Germany;
- Venus of Monruz, 11 thousand from Switzerland.
Venus of Brassempouy, located in Musée d’archéologie nationale Height: 1.4 in.
These are all classed as Venus figurines yet there are three distinct styles. We might say they can be divided into three groups: obese-decapitated, elegant realistic, and modern art. Most of the list is of the first type. Brassempouy is delicate and realistic while the Gonnersdorf are sweeping curves as found in modern art. The academics say they span a period of 35,000 years. Most falling in the range of 35 to 11,000 years ago.

Radiocarbon dating is based on the steady rate of formation and then decay of carbon-14. To skew the results there had to have been changes in the Earth’s magnetosphere, cosmic ray input and/or climate. This would vary the results for a small time event window by 10’s of thousands of years. What could disturb the Earth so greatly that the amount of carbon-14 laid down in layers over the ages is stirred up over a vast area?
Would there not be large variations in carbon-14 if the Earth went through a violent deformation and reformation? Would this not cause climate changes? If these changes occurred concurrent to the period of time in which these images were carved, would the dates not vary?

So if they are not fat, distorted women, what are they?
Perhaps they are images of large comets impacting with Earth which would have caused tremendous disturbances in the planet’s magnetosphere, cosmic ray influx, and layers of sedimentary material. In other words, two large comets impacted and caused a re-shaping of the planet.
I will let the images and sketches tell the rest of the story.
Large comet has fractured and is approaching Earth.
Comet has impacted with Earth.

A Comet Impacts with Earth
The distorted images of women found in these objects of art are a unique way of preserving the story for future generations. Following the impact, survivors in Europe fanned out and educated the rag-tag remnants of mankind. As they traveled they left these hand-carved images behind. These are images of Earth’s past and the day when all but a few of mankind escaped annihilation.
Most likely carved and used during a narrow band of time, say a couple of hundred years at most, the Venus Figurines give us feedback on the accuracy of radio-carbon dating. They point out the carbon dating of objects without knowledge of prevailing geological conditions may cause gross error in understanding.
Were these images carved by direct descendants of the apocalypse of which we are the survivors?
Other ancient records support this idea of a double comet as seen in future posts.

-Thus it came to pass that the day the planet was to die was upon them, and there was no escape.

We have been trained to think within the box’s four sided, top and bottom constraints. About the time I went to school, there were whisperings that a guy named Leif may have come to America before Columbus. But it was still gospel that in 1492 the Old World discovered the New World and its people. We are still taught the New World’s people came to this continent via a long vanished land bridge in Alaska. And so, tests were designed, grades were determined, and to pass school, we were indoctrinated into these beliefs.

There are many possibly ancient sites existing in the New England area of which -nothing- is ever said. There are an assortment of dolmens, menhirs, henges, and stone chambers all of which are strikingly similar to those found in the UK and Europe. In fact, some of these stones have writing on them in the Gaelic alphabet, Ogham, as shown above. (Stone has fallen over.) Just a few miles from Boston is a 30 acre site. If you dig deep enough in the literature and the internet (no need for a real shovel) you can find information on some of these sites. Few, if any, are protected except by diligent landowners. The possibility that they will vanish forever is very real. Our very ancient world history is in jeopardy.
These sites are in addition to the massive array of ground works reportedly built by the Hopewell and Adena Indians that span the better part of North America. (By the way, the name Hopewell sounds English because it is the last name of a property owner upon which a group of mounds sat. The name Adena has a similar beginning.) We are taught today that they were ignorant natives that scooped up dirt in baskets and dropped it in places to build random piles. We are told they are of relatively recent origin (800 to 1000 AD) and probably built for burial purposes.

Miamisburg Mound, Ohio is shown in the picture as it appeared in 2012. The view is spectacular from the top. From this vantage point there is unlimited visibility and directed light can be seen for miles upon miles. The view shown here is towards the southeast looking in the direction of the Great Serpent Mound which is now an Ohio State park.

Perhaps this is one of the simple basket carrying people that helped to build the mounds in North America? Perhaps King Ashurbanipal (668 BC-626 BC) helped to build them. Here he carries a basket of soil to contribute to the rebuilding of a temple in Ancient Iraq.
I am giving you this background and posing these questions so that as we discuss the New Hampshire Mystery Stone you will understand this stone did not just appear from nowhere. It simply cannot be a hoax. It may have been stolen from the artist and hidden, but nothing this beautiful gets tossed carelessly away. It is more likely that it was from a burial of a great noble person which by Lake Winnipesaukee, New Hampshire. The information on the stone is too old and too forgotten by us, and even the Native Peoples, to be of recent origin. (A third possibility – It was a gift to a tribal leader from someone of European origin. More on this in a future post.)
The message of this stone is not “a lone voice in the wilderness crying out.” This stone is a beautifully rendered version of a message that has echoed across the ages. It is an incredibly important message that is about to reverberate clearly again.
Once you understand the message it becomes understandable why our ancestors built these monuments, and so very, very unclear as to how we managed to forget so dreadfully much.
To continue to stay within the box is to cheat ourselves. Just because our education does not allow for any of these possibilities, does not mean they are not true. One must step out of the box just long enough to hear the message of the Mystery Stone. There is plenty of time to jump back in to its small confines afterwards.
So we begin our study of this silent little stone……
This small artifact is on display in the New Hampshire Historical Society in Concord. Found in 1872 near Lake Winnipesaukee, its origin remains unclear. Its meaning alludes traditional translation. The only explanation for its symbols and purpose that I have found is that it represented a treaty between two tribes. The first time I saw it, this explanation was satisfactory. Sometime ago I had another look at it and now think this is incredibly old and an object once owned by a person of great importance. It was the simple ear of corn that finally made me exclaim in awe as it yielded up the stone’s secret.

A study of this artifact proves it to be a truly magnificent and complicated work of art. This small stone is of a noble nature and its message is vastly important.
It is a mere 4 inches in height and has a diameter of only 2 ½ inches. Onto this small surface ten images are carefully carved. The stone is made of quartzite or mylonite (perhaps from Scotland). The surface is smooth and polished. If it was a naturally occurring stone that was utilized by the artist, then he was fortunate in his find and with his skill. The art is flawless except for a chip near the forehead of more recent appearance. The work is intricate and detailed. The proportions are perfect for the message, so if the artist had faltered he would have had to find another stone of equal ellipsoid perfection. This suggests the stone was turned and then polished to the desired proportions.
The fact that it was probably turned leads most experts to quickly conclude it is of 19th century origin. This would be thinking only within the known context of our accepted knowledge of history. Consider that we cannot explain the construction methods of some of the oldest sites to be found in the world. The debate as to how the Great Pyramids were built still rages. The explanation as to how stones can be cut and fit as perfectly as they are at Machu-Picchu alludes us. Into this class falls this perfectly cut stone.
The idea that it is 19th century is problematic to start. This was first machined before it was decorated. The symbolism is of tents, corn and arrows. Hence, we quickly conclude it was not colonial in nature but tribal. How many tribes had lathes or turning equipment? So then we conclude it is early American art of a unique nature. But that does not seem either satisfactory or logical. If the symbolism could be understood, then we might understand its origin.
On the front panel a large face is cut. On its left side are 2 small symbols, on its rear are 3 and on its right are 2. This comprises 7 small images. On its top is a circle with 8 triangles and a 1/8 th inch bore hole. On the bottom is a circle with 8 triangles tacked on. There is a 3/8 inch bore hole in the bottom. This then creates 10 images upon the stone. Its circumference calculates to 7.9 inches. The layout appears in the sketch.
Layout of images on New Hampshire Mystery Stone, B. Freeborn, Public Domain.
Consider that there are 7 images in the back grouping which reaffirms the special number 7. Add to this the two images on top/bottom and obtain 9. And then the face makes ten or we have these numbers in series 7, 9, 10 or 7910. The circumference of the object is 7.9 inches. We know this number today as the diameter of the Earth at 7920 miles. This object is an oblate sphere. The Earth is an oblate sphere. This object has circular areas on the top and the bottom just as Earth has circular areas on the top and bottom called the polar ice caps.
The array of seven scenes if read as rows becomes a series of numbers: 3, 3, 1 or we might say 33.1. This number represents an important concept I explain in numerous posts in the future. It represents an extremely significant idea portrayed repeatedly in the Ancient World.
It is easy to imagine the person depicted lived in a cold climate since it appears he is wearing a hood. This is emphasized by two small etched lines as if there are shoulders shown below the face. So the place from which this came was likely cold. The face is serene and silent, almost sad. It is beautiful and perfect in its proportions. Is this not a statement that says, “We were a beautiful and contemplative people” ?

The images on the top and bottom are circles with 8 triangles each. They appear as shown in the cropped images. 8 is an interesting number. It can be said to be 2³ and this always make me think of infinity: doubling, doubling, doubling in all directions. When the 8 triangles from the top and bottom are added together it sums to 16. The Earth moves at the rate of 66,624 miles per hour and so in any given day it moves nearly 1600,000 miles around the sun. The world tirelessly turns and turns rotating the heavens around us. It turns like two enmeshed gears. If the two images are put together a gear assembly is created.
Top and Bottom images create a gear, Mystery Stone of New Hampshire.
Recall the group of seven images plus the two on top/bottom create the number 79. They can just as easily be arranged as 7 and 2 to create the number 72. The rate at which the pole star precession occurs is one degree per 72 years.
The overall length of the stone is 4 inches and its width is 2 ½ inches. 4 / 2.5 = 1.6. Here appears the 16 again. The distance Earth moves in a day is 1600,000 miles.
And continuing the idea that the oblate sphere represents the Earth, is there not a large white polar ice cap at each pole? A line through the pole points to the pole star. This stone has a hole in its top and bottom so that a thin staff/pole can be inserted in the bottom and another thin pole can be inserted out of the top. This creates a planet with two ice caps, a pole, and a reminder of the rate of precession of the pole star.
Summing up so far, our stone tells us we have a contemplative people who lived on a planet 7910 miles in diameter that turned at a fixed rate.

So far so good.
I suggest the grouping of seven images on the back and sides of the stone should be read top to bottom, left to right. So we begin with the first image on the left of the face which is the Tepee or tent. Upon visiting the museum and seeing the Mystery Stone, we were told by the staff that it probably came from out west because the Plain’s Indians lived in tepees of the style depicted. This is difficult to argue except that does not preclude other people at other times living in the same style of structures. In fact, the style of tent is not exactly all that unique. It appears in Egypt both historically and presently. It is a style that gives an economy of form and materials. To limit it to one single group of people in a particular time period is excessively restrictive. In fact, the Cherokee tribe is originally from the St. Lawrence and South Carolina areas which means it is not solely a style found in the plains but just as common as the idea of a house with four walls.
We let the argument linger as to when and where, and continue on with the study.
We shall call the image a home because that is more meaningful. Home is where we all live. This home has three panels shown so we might assume it is made of six panels. 6 reminds us of the number of minutes that create an hour and seconds in an hour. From the top projects four stakes. We could say they represent the four corners of the world, or 4 x 6 equals 24 hours in a day. Between the three panels lies 2 distinct lines. So, we have a series of numbers again: 4 3 2 shown by one half of the home. We might take a leap and say two halves would give us 864 and 864000 is the diameter of the Sun, exactly the number of seconds in a day is 86400 and seconds of longitude around the world.
We might also say this home represents the measurement of the world from the pole. If a line fixed at the pole sweeps out we obtain lines of longitude, just as portrayed by the tent. The tent measures 90 degrees. Each panel measures 30 degrees. Thirty degrees is what is called a double hour in longitude. We call every 15 degrees a different time zone.
Now we look for the symbolism in the circle. Consider its position beneath the tent. Looking only at the positive we find it can mean: wholeness, completeness, and perfection of form. The Moon is a perfect globe as is the Sun. The Earth is perfection. The planets move in circular orbits. In fact, they move in orbits similar to the ellipsoid form of the stone. Perhaps it then means life was perfect. Life was harmonious.
But one must look at the negative connotations, also. Indeed, it could mean hole, abyss or crater. The whole of it must be understood to decide and as it happens this latter interpretation is more likely especially considering it is located under a symbol suggesting longitude.
Still, so far so good.
– The eye cannot see what the mind cannot conceive.
Mystery Stone, photo by New Hampshire Historical Society
The image of crossed arrows that is almost a tepee appears in the center back. I like the phrase: the eye cannot see what the mind cannot conceive. That explains why we cannot understand what appears in this image. If it is arrows, they are arrows that have bounced because only two of them have heads.
Perhaps this is two images in one. They are first a set of dividers which are used to measure on maps, to inscribe circles and to measure the heavens. They represent the measurement of the Earth and Heavens. As a set of dividers, one must ask at what angle are they positioned? What angle did they want to preserve for posterity? It seems that they record an angle of 56 degrees at the main top and bottom intersection. The smaller angles (very difficult to measure from photos) at the bottom appear to be 35 left and 30 degrees on the right.
The sum of 30 + 56 = 86 which reiterates the diameter of the sun at 86400 miles. The sum of 35 + 56 = 91 and 91 represents the Earth’s closest approach to the Sun at 91.4 million miles. The number 56 can be found four times in this small image by considering all the angles displayed.
56 – We discussed this number previously in the post about the 56 Aubrey Post Holes (June 2012) which have been found at Stonehenge in England. It is mysteriously always present yet not a word is ever said about it. It appears in the spelling of Yahweh. It appears and reappears, secretly, over and over.
Note there are two sets of dividers which means two places to measure or measure from. This is a simple yet astoundingly important idea.
The second idea recorded here is more difficult to understand. Perhaps this image represents meteorites, or hard rain, as the ancients put it. A rain of pelting meteorites came. Sometimes ancient texts describe it as arrows falling. Arrows from heaven came.
So far so good for the translation but the story has taken an odd turn.
The next image is of the crescent moon and the crossed spears. This is the image that has always made it very convincing this stone is about a treaty between two tribes. However logical that is, let us set it aside for the time being and reinterpret this image. Notice its position. It is centered within the seven images upon the back. It is the turning point of the story. Previously, we had “a rain of arrows” now we have something that looks like a truce. Could this indicate not only the turning point of the story but the final turning point for mankind?
People have been slowly coming to this realization these last few decades. Something big and bad happened to our planet that caused ice ages to begin and end. We cannot figure out where, or when, or exactly what. Here we have it spelled out for us and we still cannot see it. I can only say we are not giving the subject justice in these brief paragraphs.
In looking at this image we see it is formed by two lines that cross at 90 degrees. The north pole is at 90 degrees.
Notice also if the image is inverted then one can see the shield is a crater. This is the impact of not one, but two comets perhaps at the north pole.
The two dots are also significant. There are numerous ancient drawings that display this two dot pattern just as the Great Serpent Mound in Ohio does. Perhaps this is a record passed down to us from eyewitnesses. Is this a record of two comets which impacted and formed craters?
There are numerous comet craters that exist. The Pingualuit Crater in northern Canada is nearly perfect. Was this one of them? The Barringer Crater in Arizona is nearly perfect. Are these the two comet impacts or? Or! Or! Or were they just impacts of what they called “hard rain”? Did the craters they are referring to here dwarf these perfect craters? Were there people who survived these impacts? There are many other crater possibilities. In future posts I suggest there are specific craters to which this symbol refers. I discuss the age of these craters and others according to geologists. This, too, is a lengthy and interesting topic.
So, now the story is speaking of a vast and great tragedy. Next we pause to look at another ancient source which repeats and confirms the idea put forth above……
This image is a relief from Assyria (Calah in present day Iraq) of the Winged Genius. It is currently in the Walters Art Museum.

Notice the cone shaped object in this Spirit’s right hand. The description file reads: The “benevolent spirit uses a cone-shaped object to sprinkle from his bucket some magic potion upon either a sacred tree or the king depicted on the adjacent relief.” If I might re-translate what this not-so-benevolent spirit is doing. He is sprinkling meteorites on the adjacent King and he has the ultimate weapon poised in the air – a comet. It is the cone shaped, egg shaped object that looks a whole lot like the New Hampshire Mystery Stone. He, as a giant, god, or Nephylim, is the force that guides the object. This relief is dated to 883 to 859 BC.

There are other versions of this relief. In another, also from Iraq, is a nearly identical representation of the spirit except the man is portrayed as a bird. There are adjoining images which display a man carefully holding a flat cup which is a symbolic depiction of the crater. The detail images of the cone show it is similar in appearance to a pine cone or made of small pieces which is an accurate representation of many comets. We know now that comets are often made of large masses of ice crystals and rock adhered together. From other ancient sources we can determine that a comet came to Earth that broke into pieces. This idea is confirmed in this art. Two pieces struck the planet as shown here in this section of the Asshur or Ashur-nasir-pal II reliefs in the Brooklyn Museum. Between them lies what is called the tree of life but we might correctly call it the polar axis and its magnetic field. In our small New Hampshire stone we have the same egg shape and a hole in the top of the stone for an axis. So, we have two comets approaching the polar axis.

These comets came to choose who lived and died. The Cross (in the spear/shield image) tells us X marks the spot. Earth is always indicated in astrology as a circle with an x in it. Life survived, despite all odds. Our present day religious symbolism assures us that we have never quite forgotten it happened. We have never forgotten the nearly complete annihilation of our species.
The Giants, some like to call Nephylim, are the massive forces of nature such as celestial dynamics, magnetism, tidal waves and acceleration. An absence of vocabulary and misunderstanding both then and now, creates multiple gods.
So we understand that what is portrayed in this small work of art was common knowledge among the Kings, Queens and High Priests which directed and paid for the art. The belief that this New Hampshire stone once belonged to a great personage can be supported.
– It is not what is under the bed that is frightening, but what flies overhead.
That innocent little spiral that stands alone so close to the bottom, is just a twirl. Is it innocent? We have seen it many, many times. It suggests revolution, infinity, turning, a whirlpool… Was it innocent? Or was it deadly? Was it so deadly that it takes a good understanding of engineering to grasp the how of it? What turned? How did it turn? Faster, slower, all around? Could it have turned? Something turned. What was the something? Or does it just mean the danger is all around us at all times, and is present still?
Many pages of discussion on this subject can be found in future posts. The mechanics behind it from an engineering standpoint are explained in the paper: ” A Planet Most Miraculous.” The what and how much is explained. But it is the ear of corn that tells us what turned and what happened.
So, let us look at that plain old ear of corn.
Corn and Shield side of New Hampshire Mystery Stone, B. Freeborn, Public Domain
It is an ear of corn, plain and simple. Most importantly it has been shucked. The rows run in vertical lines. The kernels run in orderly squares. Remember that little square purse the fierce spirit held so firmly with his big muscular arm in the Assyrian relief above? It is the same idea. So here is a quick riddle that repeats and repeats in all this ancient art. What meets at right angles, runs in rows, runs in columns, segments round objects like in pine cones or kernels in corn? And from the image of the tent we can add, what fans out from a central pole?
Would an ear of corn not amply portray the concept of longitude and latitude to an intelligent scientific civilization, supposedly us, in the distant future? Given our knowledge base should we not be able to grasp that they are trying to convey the message that the impact of a comet turned the lines of longitude and latitude? Are they not saying that the planet was shucked like an ear of corn? But this is impossible!!! Not really. I give an explanation of the mechanics from an engineer’s viewpoint in the paper on the sidebar called: A Planet Most Miraculous.
View of Top of Mystery Stone, photo B. Freeborn, Public Domain
We shall add credence to this interpretation. If you look at the stone from the top down, you see directly opposite to the corn is the tent. One represents longitude. One represents latitude. Between them is the central pole and the image of a gear. Longitude and latitude work together. The dividers are poised alongside to measure the change.
– The fates chose me, the fates chose thee, the fates will choose again…
We have discussed all the images except for the last circle with the funny images within it. We will close by returning to the face.
This circle with the deer leg or arm thing seems like the artist was trying to draw a shield made out of pinto hide or he messed up. When the realization dawns as to what it is, opinion changes. This can be interpreted in many ways. Is it an image of an arm raking and creating grooves with flames spouting out of mountains, and volcanoes in the upper part? It can also be seen as submerged land. Perhaps this is an image of what happened after the impact of the comet. The planet was raked. It was exploding, and ripping. It was being destroyed. As the surface was shucked the crust folded in places and chasms gaped wide in other places.
Where -oh- where was man during this assault upon the planet?
There he is in the same image. It changes now. Now we can see it as an arm swimming through debris. We see animals in the water with him. They are drowning as the oceans rolled out of their basins. This is what would happen if the planet is disturbed. This was not a tidal wave here and there. It was all at once. All of it. Water. It sweeps up and out of ocean basins like a tipped bowl. It is a force that cannot be reckoned with or imagined. They are swimming. They are all in the water on a drowning world. The deluge is upon the world. And it rained for forty days and forty nights.

Now the image of the face reappears. It is a chilling, cold image. It is a man floating and dead in water. A silent face bobs upon the dark black surface. Sightless eyes stare into nothing. Mankind is gone.
There is more to this story. Future posts explain much more.
We close with the story of the stone:
We were a contemplative people who lived on a planet 7910 miles in diameter that turned at a fixed rate around a Sun of diameter 864,000 miles.
And this place we called home.
We measured our world and the heavens with rays of longitude. It was perfection.
Our lives were complete until the day the meteorites came.
And then the comets struck.
We saw them coming. There were two which impacted with the planet, our home. Because of the impact the earth was shucked like an ear of corn.
The surface turned.
The planet was raked and burnt. The ground split asunder. The mountains spewed forth flames. The people and all that lived were engulfed by the oceans. Nothing was spared. The deluge was upon the land.
We swam and swam and watched the animals drown. We swam and swam until we could not hold on.
We all perished. Our homes, our peace, our happiness, our knowledge, all gone.
