Are Archaeologist Now Agreeing that the Ancient Adena Mound Builders of the Ohio Valley were Using a Base 60 Babylonian Numbering System

The earthworks' solstice alignments at Winchester, Indiana, align to make two Pythagorean triangles. Woke archaeologists claim that Native Americans knew these mathematical and geometric principles. I believe the "Hopewell" mound builders were of Dakota Sioux origin. The earlier "Adena" were the Babylonian Amorites. Indian legends say that a white race once inhabited the Ohio Valley and "were skilled in the arts."  The Amorites were called "giants" in the Bible. Plenty of recorded giants are found in Adena mounds. The Amorites are proposed to have built Stonehenge and the conical burial mounds surrounded by a ditch in England. There are Adena mounds in the Ohio Valley surrounded by a ditch. Henges are found throughout the Ohio Valley. Two of the henges in the Ohio Valley are aligned to the May 1 sunrise. Beltane May 1 has its origins with the Canaanite/Amorites!  

Delsy Wilson who is one of the docents at the Serpent Mound made an interesting statement. "Isn’t there a proposed Hopewell base measurement also based on 60?" Yes, it is me who advocates that Babylonia Amorites were in the Ohio Valley." We have two confirmed earthwork sites that used the Pythagorean theorem. The two most frequent measures of sun temples (henges) are 660 and 666 feet with one 555 feet in circumfernce. Many of the square earthworks were 1080 feet per side. Both of these number are Babylonian Gematria numbers. They are also both divisible by 60. We also know that earthworks were constructed by a people that understood trigonometry, pi and sqauring circles. The Babylonian Amorotes (the accounted giants in the Bible) were in the Ohio Valley.

An Australian mathematician cracked the code of a famous 3,700 year old Babylonian clay tablet revealing that they were doing more accurate trigonometry nearly 1,500 years before the Greeks.

In 2017, Australian mathematician Dr. Daniel Mansfield from the University of New South Wales decoded a 3,700-year-old Babylonian clay tablet known as Plimpton 322. The tablet, which was originally discovered in the early 20th century in southern Iraq, contains a series of numbers arranged in four columns and 15 rows. For a long time, the purpose of these numbers remained a mystery.

Dr. Mansfield and his team discovered that Plimpton 322 is a trigonometric table. Unlike Greek trigonometry, which is based on angles and circles, Babylonian trigonometry used ratios of sides of right-angled triangles and a base 60 (sexagesimal) number system. This system, the researchers found, enabled the Babylonians to create a trigonometric table that is more accurate than the Greek method, as it avoids irrational numbers and provides exact ratios.

Key points about this discovery include:

1. Plimpton 322 predates Greek mathematicians such as Hipparchus, who is often credited with founding trigonometry, by more than a millennium.

2. The Babylonians' use of a base 60 number system allowed them to make complex calculations with great precision. Their method is particularly advantageous for some practical applications, such as surveying and architecture.

3. The tablet shows that the Babylonians had a sophisticated understanding of right-angled triangles and could solve problems related to their sides with exceptional accuracy.

4. This finding suggests that the history of mathematics is richer and more complex than previously thought, with advanced mathematical practices emerging in different cultures independently.

The discovery of the true purpose of Plimpton 322 has reshaped our understanding of ancient mathematical knowledge and highlights the advanced capabilities of Babylonian scholars long before similar concepts were documented in Greek mathematics.

May 1 Beltane Sunrise and October 31 Samhain Sunset at Mounds State Park, Anderson, Indiana

 The north henge at Mounds State Park will be the third earthwork in the Ohio Valley to be aligned with the May 1 Beltane sunrise and the October 31 Samhain sunset.  

In the history of Madison County, Indiana, the north henge (Circle Mound) orientation was measured at 67 degrees North. Their map of the earthwork clearly shows that it is not on an east-west axis. Why are the docent archaeologists at Mounds Staye Park claiming that the gateway is aligned to the equinox sunrise?

History of Madison County, Indiana, 1880

 “On the same section of land, but a half mile farther up the river, and on the same side of the stream, there is another cluster of earthworks that are of nearly equal interest; in fact, the principal work A, on plate K, is, in some respects, more remarkable than the large circle on plate E. The outline is of irregular shape-constricted on one end and at the sides; at the other end there is a gateway (D) 9 feet wide, protected by two small mounds (B) and (C), now about 4 feet high. The wall is 30 to 35 feet wide at the base, and about 4 feet high; ditch 8 feet wide. A central line through the longer way is north 67 degrees east and 296 feet long; it is 160 feet across at the widest and 150 feet across at the narrowest part--near the middle. With the exception of the two mounds at the gateway, which lie on the cultivated side of a section fence, and have been cut down by the plow, the remainder antiquity is in as good state of preservation as when deserted by its original occupants. Large trees are growing over it, and the underbrush is so thick that it was difficult to obtain accurate measurements; in fact, there is hardly a stick of timber amiss over the ruins.”

Wow, the DNR archaeologists claimed an equinox sunrise alignment at the henge. Why are there no photos? I read from a university archaeological department that this henge and gateway were aligned with the equinox sunrise. I had dismissed this work as a possibility for aligning with the May 1  - October 31 sunrise and sunset.

   After finding a website that gave the angle of the sunrises and sunsets, the old histories of these measurements could be deciphered. The people working for the DNR at Mounds State Park are nice and very knowledgeable on the grounds. They got some bad intel from our experts at one of the universities. 

On May 1, at Mounds State Park the sun will rise at 69 degrees N.; it will be at 68 degrees by the 3rd and 67 degrees by May 6. Earth wobble over two thousand years accounts for the discrepancy. When I photographed the May 1 sunrise at an Ohio Henge the sun rose visibly on the gateway. The actual alignment was May 5, so few days discrepancy is accurate. It will" appear" perfectly aligned on May 1; then, on October 31, you can stand outside the gateway looking west, and the sun will set in the gateway once flanked by two mounds. The place to be on Halloween dusk!!!

In the History of Madison County, Indiana the earthwork was aligned to 67 degrees north.

According to timeanddate.com (graph above) the earthwork's eastern gateway will align to the Beltane sunrise.

On October 31 the sun will set in the west and align with the henge's eastern gateway.

 

Lynn Indiana - Home Town of Cult Leader Jim Jones and an Adena Burial Mound

This is one of the larges Adena mounds in east-central Indiana. It only a few miles north of Lynn Indiana the boyhood home of Jim Jones."Don't Drink the Kool-Aid" coined from the Jonestown Massacre where 900 men, women, and children committed suicide from a cyanide-laced punch on November 18, 1978.  This also within a few miles of a large Adena (Amorite) enclosure that used Babylonian numerology of Gematria in it's constriction.  www.nephilimgiants.net : Nephilim Numerology of Gematria and the Indiana Giant's Earthworks
