OTI:one poem, notes:7/31/18

Open To Interpretation

The Ravens, the Gulls, the Parrots

 

The Ravens, the Gulls, the Parrots,

Settled down

And it was quiet on Harbor's wharf

Beneath Volcano Never.

Everyone stood about

Thinking long thoughts.

"Have we enough,"

Petra asked Pakal, "eyes?"

Pakal looked out over the Bay

At his BlackSpace Ship,

An iridescent island on the Bay.

Kannon spoke, "Ichi?"

Blind Ichi smiled,

Pursed his lips,

Squeezed his eyelids tight

Shut,

And everyone gathered

On the wharf below Volcano Never

Held their ears,

Hearing and not hearing.

The Bats and Owls heard,

And descended from their roosts

In and around Volcano Never.

"Let's go!" said Petra.

Pakal joined Ichi in

The Long Slender Craft,

And the Black Ship crews

Mounted their Black Dragons,

Or the Black Dragons

Took on the crews,

Along with Pakal's entourage,

And they all went across the Bay

To Pakal's island BlackSpace Ship.

Thereabout was a stony beach

And an underground river

Emerging from a grand cavern.

The Dragons arrived

And waited for the Long Slender Craft

Riding a wave side by side

With the Black Dolphins

Who had heard Ichi's call too.

Did Ancient Humans Have Knowledge of the Electromagnetic (EM) Spectrum?

Glenn Kreisberg 

 

It has been noted by many that the designs and motifs of ancient architecture often reflect and in many ways try to mimic the patterns, signs and signals found to occur naturally in our environment. Most significant, for the purposes of this report, are the many variations of the basic waveforms, be it sine wave, saw-tooth wave, box wave or the endless variety of spirals and wave forms that adorn ancient cave wall, temples, and structures and appear in architecture, scrolls, tablets and inscriptions throughout the ancient world.

The Frozen Music of Rosslyn Chapel

08/01/07 11:47

 

"I call architecture frozen music."
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
German writer, scientist, color theorist and Freemason

 

The announcement explained that a total of 215 “musical cubes” in the pillars and arches of Rosslyn Chapel were found to match 13 unique geometrical sound patterns, known as Chladni figures or Cymatics.

As well they referred to the DJed as a source of electrical power transmission for electrical applications and so the name of pillars within the temples . . . for the Balance of the 4 elements and cosmological worlds.

The djed column and its rituals represent one of the deepest mysteries of ancient Egypt dating back to pre-dynastic times as does the Egyptian Book of the Dead which identifies it the Djed as the backbone/spine of Osiris, thus stability

 

 

 

 

Djed Pillar here shows Osiris holding the flail and crook of pharoahic authority, topped with the sh, symbol of life, and upraised arms representing the KA, the essence/energy of being that survives death, holding the sun, RA.

author goes on a lot about Mysterion things...but that Djed is a curio...note the T part of the Ankh...

 

quote

 

 

He was thought to live within a cavern at the supposed source of the Nile near Aswan.^[3] The cult of Hapi was mainly located at the First Cataract named Elephantine. His priests were involved in rituals to ensure the steady levels of flow required from the annual flood. At Elephantine the official nilometer, a measuring device, was carefully monitored to predict the level of the flood, and his priests must have been intimately concerned with its monitoring.

Oh...there in the last part...'measuring device'...Trout hit something...off the roof?...bounced back to the field...a home run!...that was like that one I saw, high as it was long...Rays 10-6...

 

quote

 

 

A nilometer was a structure for measuring the Nile River's clarity and water level during the annual flood season.^[1] There were three main types of nilometers, calibrated in Egyptian cubits: (1) a vertical column, (2) a corridor stairway of steps leading down to the Nile, or (3) a deep well with culvert.

... ... ...

 

The best known example of this kind can be seen on the island of Elephantine in Aswan,^[1] where a stairway of 52 steps leads down to a doorway at the Nile.^[4] This location was also particularly important, since for much of Egyptian history, Elephantine marked Egypt's southern border and was therefore the first place where the onset of the annual flood was detected.

unquote

 

somewhere in the mud of the Nile I imagine is the ancient Egytpian Pillar, a Djed column for measuring the rise and fall of the Nile...the 'raising of the Djed' iconography is the rising of the Nile...so my fancy!...

 

quote

 

The djed pillar was an important part of the ceremony called 'raising the djed,' which was a part of the celebrations of Heb Sed, the Egyptian pharaoh's jubilee celebrations. The act of raising the djed has been explained as representing Osiris's triumph over Set.

announcers keep talking about Trout stealing bases...Cower up...Trout modus operandi...walk, steal second...I have a few modus operandi too!...Cower get on?...Hapi, I think, might even be the Djed in some of the icons, like that one where he is holding the two shafts/water falls...(they're not spears)...those four rings on top of the Djed have always been a puzzle...but, thought is now they are for measuring the level of the Nile...the Ankh and WAS scepter I still think are survey tools...after the Nile flood, the landscape was a vast mud field, and had to be surveyed each year to find where to mark out the order for growing...or some such...think I read that somewhere...

 

quote

 

Whilst the earliest Egyptians simply laboured those areas which were inundated by the floods, some 7000 years ago, they started to develop the basin irrigation method. Agricultural land was divided into large fields surrounded by dams and dykes and equipped with intake and exit canals. The basins were flooded and then closed for about 45 days to saturate the soil with moisture and allow the silt to deposit. Then the water was discharged to lower fields or back into the Nile. Immediately thereafter, sowing started, and harvesting followed some three or four months later. In the dry season thereafter, farming was not possible. Thus, all crops had to fit into this tight scheme of irrigation and timing.

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flooding_of_the_Nile

 

sometimes, sometimes, the Ankh, and the WAS scepter--noting the notch at the bottom, look like modern 'keys' for turning on and off sprinklers, or opening sluices for irrigation canals...Egyptians would have had such things to manage the canals and trenches between plants...I dunno...somewhere a depiction of them...two away...bottom of 6th?...so, so, what about the Dendera Light Bulb?...

 

quote

 

 J. N. Lockyer's passing reference to a colleague's humorous suggestion that electric lamps would explain the absence of lampblack deposits in the tombs has sometimes been forwarded as an argument supporting this particular interpretation (another argument being made is the use of a system of reflective mirrors).^[5] Proponents of this interpretation have also used a text referring to "high poles covered with copper plates" to argue this^[6] but Bolko Stern has written in detail explaining why the copper covered tops of poles (which were lower than the associated pylons) do not relate to electricity or lightning, pointing out that no evidence of anything used to manipulate electricity had been found in Egypt and that this was a magical and not a technical installation.

it is a mystery/enigma how the Egyptian saw to see the paintings they painted underground in the tombs...there doesn't seem to be any evidence of lamp soot...but then, the oil they used in lamps may have burned that clean...another thought, a fancy, is that they could see in the dark...for sometime eye care in ancient times!...anyway, the light bulb...

Nilometer

There were many Nilometers in Egypt, but the most important ones were at Elephantine Island. The Nilometer was important as it measured the rise of the floodwaters of the Nile. If the Nile did not rise enough, the land would experience famine conditions. If the Nile rose too high, it would flood and destroy the villages. In three periods the Nilometers were restored: pharaonic, Roman, Muhammad Ali. Every temple in Egypt had a Nilometer because it was a symbol of life.

Notes: maybe I was bored...maybe I am bored!...lol...more likely now in the heat I just divert to my bunk from activity, and so pursue these posts!...this seventythird in a series...see previous...but back in the Valley, at work, there were moments of tedium...and at the end of every work shift, it was my task to clean up the counters and such at Last Chance...so, at closing, to begin, I would fill up a five gallon bucket with hot water in the deep stainless steel sink back by the dish machine, which was usually running full blast...and, I'm standing there waiting for the bucket to fill, trying to stay out of everyone's way, and when it was full, water shut off, I got to tapping the side of the bucket to watch the patterns from the vibration when I tapped the bucket...one would think the patterns would just be circles...but, no, as the circles neared the center, they would square up!...'that's something', I thought on first seeing it happen, 'and for sometime!'...well, here now a partial sometime, as from filming the bucket today, see top pics and clips, I can see there is more to this...for sometimes!...lol...anyway, from what little I know of geometry/sacred geometry, I've read some about the mystery of 'squaring the circle'...looking into my bucket, I thought, 'well, that's it'...no mystery at all!...and would throw in some soap, and off to clean up after a day of serving the tourists...I did that, the soap and cleaning part, for like ten years, so one can understand any distraction from the routine caught my attention!...

quote

Squaring the circle is a problem proposed by ancient geometers. It is the challenge of constructing a square with the same area as a given circle by using only a finite number of steps with compass and straightedge.
... ... ...
The expression "squaring the circle" is sometimes used as a metaphor for trying to do the impossible.^[

'visit' link for that one broken, or slow to open...it's modern...but it shows what's going on...a square grid modified with a compass to make the designs...ancients were working on like graph paper...that one has the pattern of the Inca Warrior step tunic...all the Inca tunics are divided into squares, and the tocapu designs in each square...the designs themselves are square based...so, there's squares within squares...all the artistries in Old and New world are worked up from these squares...where there are smooth curves, the artists just smoothed out the 'jaggies'...computer graphics went through this...pixelated...

quote

Early graphical applications such as video games ran at very low resolutions with a small number of colors, resulting in easily visible pixels. The resulting sharp edges gave curved objects and diagonal lines an unnatural appearance. However, when the number of available colors increased to 256, it was possible to gainfully employ anti-aliasing to smooth the appearance of low-resolution objects, not eliminating pixelation but making it less jarring to the eye.

clip is long...and it's a neat trick at the end when he does the Greek key...instead of like a square graph paper template underneath, oh, he doesn't use graph paper...but it is inferred that there is a square grid...instead of squares, partitions are made with concentric circles, lots of them, and radiating lines, lots of them...this is what one does when making designs inside/outside bowls, dishes, pottery and such roundish things...in the Lod Mosaic above there is a Greek key border among the other borders, and next to it, going outward, is step motif border, really tiny...next to that, I should mention too maybe, is a chevron border...now, I've been going on about the fret and the steps being together...the fret is the curl, the steps the step throne...the step fret of the Mesoamericans and Andeans...those two elements, the curl, and the steps...I can see now how the curl is anti aliased from the steps...the whole design on a square grid...and since artists in Old and New world were working from square grids, I can see how the step fret/Greek key can be arrived at convergently/independently...the Andeans are sometimes called by the scholars a 'pristine' civilization...lemmessee if I can find that again...

quote

The Inca Empire was the last chapter of thousands of years of Andean civilization. Andean civilization was one of five civilizations in the world deemed by scholars to be "pristine", that is indigenous and not derivative from other civilizations.^[

unquote

I wouldn't bet the farm on that!...but, supposing, those five could arrive at the grid, the squares, independently...curious as to what five?

quote

Calling West African civilization pristine is something of an exaggeration, given earlier contact with states to the north. Then again, calling some of the standard six "pristine" states pristine is a bit of a stretch. Indus script (still undeciphered) may have been inspired by Mesopotamia, which was exchanging memes with Egypt as well. And some diffusion, however thin, probably linked South America (the Inca and their cultural ancestors) and Mesoamerica (Aztecs, Maya, and others).
Still, even after granting these early and occasionally momentous contacts, we are left with three large realms of ancient civilization, quite removed from each other: China, the Near East, and the New World. The scholarly consensus is that each developed its energy and information technologies—farming and writing—indigenously. And each then underwent its early civilizational history in essential isolation from the others.

quote

Cymatics, from Greek: κῦμα, meaning "wave", is a subset of modal vibrational phenomena. The term was coined by Hans Jenny (1904-1972), a Swiss follower of the philosophical school known as anthroposophy. Typically the surface of a plate, diaphragm or membrane is vibrated, and regions of maximum and minimum displacement are made visible in a thin coating of particles, paste or liquid.^[1] Different patterns emerge in the excitatory medium depending on the geometry of the plate and the driving frequency.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cymatics

so, so I learn my 'tapping the bucket' has a name...Cymatics...among others...

quote

Experiments of this kind, similar to those carried out earlier by Galileo Galilei^[4] around 1630 and by Robert Hooke in 1680, were later perfected by Chladni, who introduced them systematically in 1787 in his book Entdeckungen über die Theorie des Klanges (Discoveries on the theory of sound). This provided an important contribution to the understanding of acoustic phenomena and the functioning of musical instruments. The figures thus obtained (with the aid of a violin bow that rubbed perpendicularly along the edge of smooth plates covered with fine sand) are still designated by the name of "Chladni figures".
... ... ...
According to Jenny, these structures, reminiscent of the mandala and other forms recurring in nature, would be a manifestation of an invisible force field of the vibrational energy that generated it. He was particularly impressed by an observation that imposing a vocalization in ancient Sanskrit of Om (regarded by Hindus and Buddhists as the sound of creation) the lycopodium powder formed a circle with a centre point, one of the ways in which Om had been represented. In fact, for a plate of circular shape, resting in the centre (or the border, or at least in a set of points with central symmetry), the nodal vibration modes all have central symmetry, so the observation of Jenny is entirely consistent with well known mathematical properties.<sup>[

... ... ...</sup>
Composer Stuart Mitchell and his father T.J. Mitchell claimed that Rosslyn Chapel's carvings supposedly contain references to cymatics patterns. In 2005 they created a work called The Rosslyn Motet realised by attempting to match various Chladni patterns to 13 geometric symbols carved onto the faces of cubes emanating from 14 arches.

that last bit, which I just happened on filling things in, is my reach:...'carvings supposedly contain reference to cymatic patterns'...thought I have is the artistries of the Andeans/Mesoamericans are related to sound/frequency vibrations...there's two sorts, well, lots actually, but two main ones...the ones inside squares...and running ones...borders/friezes...like the patterns from oscilloscopes...

while messing with the bucket of water to make the clip, I wondered what else the ancients might have happened on with just water in a bucket, if indeed they happened on what I did...and thought, 'oh, spirals'...poke a hole in the bottom of the bucket and the water will drain out spiraling like in a bath tub!...Braves scored three...Braves 4-0...

Our interest in the measurement of air and water flow is timeless. Knowledge of the direction and velocity of air flow was essential information for all ancient navigators, and the ability to measure water flow was necessary for the fair distribution of water through the aqueducts of such early communities as the Sumerian cities of Ur, Kish, and Mari near the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers around 5,000 B.C. Even today, the distribution of water among the rice patties of Bali is the sacred duty of authorities designated the "Water Priests."

Open To Interpretation

Notes: a curio...needs a name...The Serendipity!...I actually came up with this on my own...my own little...not so little?...mathematical discovery...and, I've never really seen it laid out like I lay it out...and yet, it's everywhere in the ancient world, and modern...well, let me do the math first...

360/1=360
360/2=180
360/3=120
360/4=90
360/5=72
360/6=60
360/7=51.4
360/8=45
360/9=40
360/10=36
360/11=32.7272...
360/12=30
360/13=27.69

hmmph...somewhere that has to be on the web...

A circle is divided into 360 degrees
... ... ...
The divisors of 360 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36, 40, 45, 60, 72, 90, 120, 180 and 360, making a total of 24 divisors.
... ... ...
A year is very roughly calculated as 360 days; see 360-day calendar.

one would think that wiki would have more to it...it's the calendar bit that's The Serendipity...our Calendar is kept more precisely than the ancients', it has 365 days with a little left over, which gets gathered together to make another day every leap year...or something...the ancients counted 360 days, and the five more days were a kind of gap at the winter solstice when for a five day bracket the sun doesn't look to be moving, the days the shortest...once it started its swing back to the summer solstice the calendar count started up again...or something...a curio is there would be a 'bracket' time at the summer solstice too, but I haven't read any doings then...the five day bracket at the winter solstice became superstitiously filled up with all kinds of things...go on about that in a sec...but, but the serendipity in all this is that the Earth just happens to go around the Sun in 365 day plus a bit, and there are 12 months that approximate 30 days each, which is 12 into 360, and 13 lunar months (orbits of the moon around the earth) that approximate 27.69 days, which is 13 into 360...seven sticks out...but then, there are seven days in a week, and fifty two weeks...and, wala, 7 times 52 equals 364...360 divided by 7 equals 51.4...lucky seven...11 I've never been able to quite figure...that dice throwing shout out, 'seven come eleven' comes to mind...I dunno what that is...brb...

quote

These are the words that a player says before the first roll of the dice in a game of craps.
Specifically, the player is hoping that the dice will show either seven dots or eleven dots, because either of those two displays will get him a pass on the first play. A pass is what s/he wants.

So "seven come eleven" are words used to talk to the dice, to try to influence the dice to show either seven or eleven.

The vesica piscis is a type of lens, a mathematical shape formed by the intersection of two disks with the same radius, intersecting in such a way that the center of each disk lies on the perimeter of the other.^[1] In Latin, "vesica piscis" literally means "bladder of a fish", reflecting the shape's resemblance to the conjoined dual air bladders ("swim bladder") found in most fish. In Italian, the shape's name is mandorla ("almond").
This figure appears in the first proposition of Euclid's Elements, where it forms the first step in constructing an equilateral triangle using a compass and straightedge. The triangle has as its vertices the two disk centers and one of the two sharp corners of the vesica piscis

Figure 14.24. The Weavers, including Venus?, from a Moche pot. Drawing by Sharon Hanna.

One of the weavers has strikingly disheveled hair; another is distinguished by a woven cloak. Still another is seated above a fish. Hocquenghem (1987, p. 85) associates the scene with the Quechua month Uma Raymi (about October), in which there was a weaving ceremony. If this is indeed a calendrical astronomical scene, then the possible identification of one of the weavers with a planet may indicate that the other figures can be planetary, perhaps with different identities when rising and setting.

Fletcher on with a hit...two gone...Trout up...

quote

Table 14.5 shows a list of Hocquenghem's "grand scenes" as she places them in the calendar year together with Incan parallels and the agricultural calendar. The seasons experienced by the Moche are as follows: hot and dry (Sep.-Dec.); warm and wet (Jan.-Mar.); cold and wet (Apr.-Jun.); and cold and dry (Jul.-Aug.). We will discuss here only the most striking parallels or those in which we have specific disagreements with her interpretations.

quote

Most of the reliable archaeoastronomical information from Tiahuanaco deals with the Akapana monument (Kolata 1993, pp. 104-129. See Figure 14.30). The basic shape is that of a step-fret (which has also been described as "half of an Andean cross"), with the "tail" to the west. Six stages rest on a large basal terrace and a sunken court on top of the pyramid is in the shape of a full "Andean cross." During the rainy season, this filled with water that was carried to ground level through an intricate series of stone-lined drains,

Unlucky days: The end of each 365-day cycle in the Aztec calendar was marked by 360 named days and 5 nameless days. The Aztecs considered these last five days as unlucky days.

quote

Each year also had five nameless days, which were thought to be unlucky. Aztec babies unfortunate enough to be born on a nameless day remained nameless themselves until a named day came around.
