And once again I have to say, how could I ... AND ALL OF ACADEMIA have missed it.
The Roman accomplishments at Baalbek are mind blowing. I honestly think that other than The Pyramids they are unequaled anywhere on Earth. As I began to study these structures I started to ask myself surely there had to have been an overall plan to the complex. So I began to try to piece it together from the meager evidence that was at my disposal. Luckily with the advent of cell phones and the amazing increases in the ability of cameras in general there are many amazingly accurate AND LARGE images available on The Web. Failing having the accurate measurements I turned to my old standby, scaling the images. This what I did and this is the first image I will show you.
I was helped immensely by this passage:
With the help of knowing that the height was 62 feet I scaled it and noted that 62 feet was four spaces so obviously this was the result
I noted right away that we had once again discovered another ancient structure that was 1. 2 and sq rt of 5
Using simple math I noted that the length was 217 feet (62 / 4 then x 14) by 108.5 (62 / 4 then x 7) or 2604 inches by 1302 inches by 744 inches
But the more I looked at these figures the more it did not make sense. Why build such an amazing structure only to have it measure what apparently was a meaningless set of inches. I had to be missing something. Then in another instant of clarity I had it figured out. I had been wrong and everyone who had ever reported on the numbers at Baalbek had been wrong for WE WERE USING THE WRONG MEASUREMENTS !!!!!!!!!!
Like The Royal Cubit of Ancient Egypt having to be used to understand the dimensions in Egypt in order to understand Baalbek WE HAD TO THINK AND MEASURE ...LIKE A ROMAN
So it was off to Wikipedia I went and found this ...
Before posting The Wiki article I have to say right now that what the measurements told me was almost beyond my comprehension. They, I think, proved my point of claiming that The Sacred Sign and Sacred Code as well as The Wood Pentagram and the 1,.2 square root of 5 right angled triangle and last the 3, 4, 5 triangle were all instrumental in the sacred geometry of all olden civilization and probably dating right back to the era of ... The Gods. But what could I have found that would make me so sure of what I have just posted ? Well this is what ...
Firstly from Wiki:
and the link: [en.wikipedia.org]
I just couldn't believe that 2604 inches OR 217 feet held any meaning so I set about trying to figure out what that would have been in Roman numbers. First thing we note is that The Roman "foot" or "pes" was 0.971 of a modern foot so it was smaller thus in the overall distance there would have been more of then and so by a simple act of math we simply divide 217 by 0.971. Now I have tortured no numbers! It is there for you to see. It is repeatable by anyone ... it is ... "The Work of The Gods" for when one figures out how many Roman Pes' there were one finds that, almost unbelievably we get 223.481 Roman Pes' . Now to the average person they would have just moved on by I knew that number very, very well . I had seen in many, many times ... so I squared it and got ... 49943.734. To me it was obvious ... the long side was and is 100 times the square root of 5 in Roman Pes' ! To the doubters I went backwards from square root of 5 which is 2.236068 and times 100 to get 223.6068 and this would equal in unciae (?) or The Roman equivalent of inches 12 x 223.6068 or 2683.2816. But we know that we need to reduce this by a factor of 0.971 so multiplying this by 0.971 we get as a result ... 2605.47 THIS IS CORRECT TO WITHIN AN INCH AND A HALF !
So the conclusion is obvious to even the blind. The Romans not only built this Temple of Jupiter in the ratio of 1, 2 and square root of 5 but actually used the square root of 5 times 100 in the number of "pes" in the long side and 1/2 the number of "pes' in the short side of 111.8034
The exact same numbers that are found at Giza and at Sakkara are also found here at Baalbek on a site that many would agree was once The Home of The Gods in antiquity.
Amen
