Royal Cubit, Great Pyramid and Imperial System Origins

Metrology in ancient structures is discussed, focusing on the Royal Cubit used in the Great Pyramid of Giza.

Egyptian Metrology, Royal Cubits, and the Reman Unit

Carlson details the mathematical relationship between the circle and the square, focusing on how the Egyptians reconciled irrational linear dimensions through area. He explains the "Reman" and "Royal Cubit" units, which share a square root of two relationship, allowing for perfectly reconcilable areas in sacred architecture. This system is presented as part of a universal metrology found in megalithic Britain, Greece, Rome, and Teotihuacan.

Musical Tuning, 432 Hertz, and the Origin of the Mile

The dialogue touches on the significance of 432 Hertz as a musical tuning standard, noting its change to 440 Hertz after World War II. Carlson links this number to the radius of the Sun and the origin of the modern mile. He traces the 5,280-foot mile back to ancient British metrology used at Stonehenge, where the radius of the Sarsen circle was exactly 52.8 feet.
