Numbers Magic

Within a couple days of each other I received email with information on the number sequence 4-3-2 (the number of the Goddess) and 3-4-5, used by the ancient Egyptians to create true right angles when staking out foundations for buildings, and sometimes this sequence was reflected in tomb paintings and carvings. (Image from Budge, Ch. IV, The Book of the Dead). Here is the information on 4-3-2 provided by RHHannaHH (in two separate emails):
4 x 3 x 2 = 24 24 x 6 x 6 = 864 Circle of Time (432 x 2 ) 360 degrees x 60 min x 60 sec = 1296 Circle of Space 432 x 3 432 x 6 - Equinoctial progression (2592) 432 / 4 - 108 /Pi =343774677 WMS CI 360 / 2 Pi = 5729578 R R / 3/5 = 343774677
(Second email):
.432 / 11111111 ( square ONE) = 3888 / 36 - 108 / Pi = 3/5 R (WMSCI)
[I have no idea what WMSCI stands for]
(Image: Offering table from the tomb of Pharaoh Tutmosis III, "The Quest for Immortality" exhibit. The top, left side, shows 4x3 circular shallow carved depressions; the center shows a 3x3 enclosed square of depressions; the right shows 5x3 depressions). A link to this website was provided by АНДРЕЙ ТКАЧЕНКО. As you'll see, it's in Russian, but it does offer a neat little gadget that translates the site into other languages. The translation into English leaves much to be desired, but it gave me a general idea of what the creator of the website is talking about (not that I understood most of it!) The graphics alone are worth a visit - they are really cool!
