SeniorCitizen007 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Scholars generally agree that the biblical story is two stories interwoven together. My perception is that in one story the numbers are purely symbolic ... but in the other the numbers can be used to construct a map of a voyage (which I have done!). Whoever wrote it was able to precisely calculate not only latitudes but longitudes as well. The voyage has two components ... from Heliopolis, the ancient capital of Egypt at the time of the Pyramids, to the Isle of Patmos ... then from there to a site in Georgia (Colchis ... the destination of Jason and the Argonauts search for the Golden Fleece ... so what is the Golden Fleece? It's the knowledge of how to navigate by the sun ... picture planet Earth with the latitude and longitude lines as golden threads). The site in Georgia is in a district called, in the local (Mingrelian) language, Guria, "the heart". I surmise that there was a migration at some ancient time from this region to Greece then on into the Mediterranean. I surmise that prior to 4,000 BC there were people around who knew that the Earth was a sphere and how big it was ... and that they may have systematically explored the planet.

mymistake Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Welcome to the forum. That proposal is going to take a lot of hard data in order to flesh it out. Don't expect people to take it seriously until then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
