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...

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

'visit' on that google images page takes one to the little book...a pdf...in Spanish...looking through it I found the 'weavers plate'...the Moche pottery plate I went on about...a rosetta stone like thing I thought...Mariners made out...Angels made out...top of 4th?...search 'iconographia moche' is turning up a lot of things!...hadn't thought to use Spanish search terms...for sometime...anyway, I searched the author's last name, Hocquenghem, and could only turn up Spanish pages...but, but then in the browses I saw the weavers plate again, and it took me to a site in English...an astronomy site...

this site has so many things!...it has everything, I'd say, in one fashion or another...that pic immediately caught my eye, as it is like the pic on Hocquenghem's book...the cover pic above...I couldn't find a caption for that pic...inside her book I couldn't read the captions for the many pics, or the general text...she's all about the astronomical imports of the Moche icons...myself, with the two foxes representing Venus morning and evening star, see that second fox pic, and think, 'oh, Venus'...and there's the step thrones with the fret curl...go figure!...the little step thrones might represent days...for sometime...

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.

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.

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.

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.
