Part 1.
I have wanted to write something about this but until now have not really had a handle on it.
This is for all who have put up with my rantings on the Saxon or Indus foot 13.2 inches but have not really taken in it's importance.
Aubrey Burl is an expert on stone circles and although I wrote to him many many years ago about this measure 13.2 he never got back to me however in his 2006 "Stonehenge A brief history of" he does mention in his notes at the beginning x "Even on the far side of Europe the Sumerians had a 'foot' of 13.2in (33.5cm) and the Assyrians one of 12.96in (32.9cm). It is likely that the planners of any stage at Stonehenge used similar body measurements."
To begin the 'Four Stations' at Stonehenge or four Sarsens intended to stand at the corners of an oblong measuring 260 ft x 111 ft (79.248m x 33.8328m).
The diagonal of this rectangle 282.7030244 imperial feet. Now the ancient architects could move between measures just as the modern architect Pei has done in Paris at the Lourve.
At Stonehenge the architect is moving between imperial feet (which as you know I believe is an ancient measure) and Indus Valley/Saxon feet.
The diameter of the sarsen circle to the centre of the stones at Stonehenge is 99 imperial feet (12 ins) and it is 90 Saxon feet (13.2 ins)
The circumference is 90 x pi = 282.74333.
The diagonal of the rectangle bears the same number as the circumference of Stonehenge. And the square root of 2 is being shouted aloud by the architects to the initiated Priests. 141.42213562 x = 282.8427125.
Next the Aubrey holes.
