In his 'decoding' of Stonehenge, Munck first determined that the original Sarsen Circle was constructed of 60 stones ... 30 uprights and 30 cross- pieces. The Sarsen Circle, like any circle, has 360 degrees of arc on its circumference if we assume "our" circle/sphere math conventions. Here was a major key in this re-discovery process : the hypothesis that 360 degrees on a circumference was 'always' an integral part of this advanced 'matrix' !

Munck took the 60 original Sarsen Circle stones and multiplied them by 360 ... 60 x 360 = 21600 ....

which "happens to be" the number of arc-minutes on any circumference, according to "our" math conventions. And, 21600 also "happens to be" the number of Nautical Miles on the polar circumference of Earth. Isn't it interesting that one Nautical Mile equals exactly one 'minute' of Earth latitude ? Of course, we also "happen" to use the number 60 for "time circles" ... minutes in an hour and seconds in a minute ... as on the circumference of a clock face. We are finding out (re-discovering) that the numbers 60 and 360 are not *really* arbitrary, in terms of what we know as time and space.

I think the number 60 is very "geometric" because it is divisible by many whole numbers into many *other* whole numbers, and this is part of the inherent "nature" of our number system. (I now think that the distance, on a baseball field, from the pitcher's mound to home plate .... 60 feet, 6 inches .... is not really *arbitrary*, either. 60 x 6 = 360 But that's a subject for another article.)

Latitude of Stonehenge Using the most accurate maps available, Carl P. Munck looked to see if he could find some meaningful relationship between the precise location of Stonehenge, on Earth in terms of latitude and/or longitude, and the number 21600. He noted its latitude of approximately 51 deg 10 min North. Suppose he would, for instance, divide the number 21600 by 51, and then divide that result by 10 ? Yes, this is what he did :

21600 / 51 = 423.5294118 Then, 423.5294118 / 10 = 42.35294118

Amazingly, Stonehenge centers itself precisely AT this latitude :

51 deg 10 min 42.3529 sec

Munck calls the product of a site's (centered) degrees x minutes x seconds .... the 'Grid Latitude' (or 'Grid Longitude' for the site's centered longitude).

So; the Grid Latitude of Stonehenge is : 51 deg x 10 min x 42.35294118 sec North = 21600 North

Original Longitude of Stonehenge One of Munck's major discoveries is his re-discovery of "our" (?) original prime meridian for longitude measurement. He determined that the prime meridian for this 'geomath matrix' passes directly through the center of The Great Pyramid at Giza in Egypt. So; we adjust our longitude (east or west, according to the site we are working with) by 31 deg 08 min 0.8 sec . . . the exact longitude distance between the current Greenwich, England prime meridian and the center of The Great Pyramid.

Using the best maps available, we know that Stonehenge is centered at W.Greenwich longitude 01 deg 49 min 28 sec. So; because Stonehenge is located not that far to the west of the Greenwich, England prime meridian, we *add* the (31 deg 08 min 0.8 sec) variance-distance onto the W.Greenwich longitude .....

01 deg 49 min 28 sec W.Greenwich + 31 deg 08 min 0.8 sec (variance) 32 deg 57 min 28.8 sec W.Giza

Now, if we multiply .... 32 deg x 57 min x 28.8 sec ..... using the "numbers only" .... we will be multiplying 32 x 57 x 28.8 ..... for a product of 52531.2. At this point, we look through the matrix to see if there is a figure "close to" 52531.2 ..... and we find such a figure in the number 52562.89164 .... which is the multiplied product of .... RAD (deg) x Pi x 2Pi x Square Root of 2160 = 52562.89164

57.29577951 x 3.141592654 x 6.283185307 x 46.47580015 = 52562.89164

Now, to "check" this figure ..... we start with 52562.89164 .... and divide, first by the number of degrees, and then divide that result by the number of minutes, like this .... 52562.89164 / 32 / 57 = 28.8173748 sec

We can see, here, that this "very precise" number of longitude seconds is only 0.0173748 longitude seconds away from our *approximation* of 28.8 longitude seconds. In terms of actual FEET, this would be a difference of approximately a Foot and a half. Yes, we now have figured out the W.Giza longitude of Stonehenge (the way Carl P. Munck did it) : 32 deg 57 min 28.8173748 sec W.Giza

In dealing with circles and spheres, we run into the math constants of Pi and RADIAN measure, and these constants are integral to this 'geomath matrix', along with the number 360. Pi is the ratio of circumference to diameter of any given circle or sphere. Radian (deg) is the arc-distance on the circumference that is equal to the radius of any given circle or sphere. In degrees of arc, the Radian is equal to 57.29577951 (deg) ... to eight decimal places. It is an irrational number, like the Pi constant of 3.141592654 ... to nine decimal places. The relationship between Pi, the Radian (deg), and 360 (deg) can be shown with this equation : RAD x 2Pi = 360

Now, back to the Grid Longitude of Stonehenge .... 52562.89164 = RAD x Pi x 2Pi x Square Root of 2160 (46.47580015)

Here we have 4 terms, or quantities, multipying to a number that encodes the precise original (Giza-based) longitude of Stonehenge. And, each of these 4 terms are important "entities" that are integral to both the design and the essence of this re-discovered 'matrix'. Notice that the number 2160 is a "base-ten harmonic" of the number 21600, and vice-versa ... the decimal point is simply moved one place, 'horizontally'.

Note also that 2160 refers to : diameter of The Moon in statute miles (regular miles), years in a Zodiac Age, and the total number of corner-angle degrees on the surface of a Cube.

Grid Point Value of Stonehenge The intersection point of latitude/longitude is represented in this 'matrix', for any given site, by the ratio of the Grid Latitude to the Grid Longitude, always greater-than-one. This resulting number is the Grid Point Value :

52562.89164 / 21600 = 2.433467206

Munck has determined that the precise (matrix-valid) radius in Feet, of the Sarsen Circle at Stonehenge, is 48.66934411 ... to eight decimal places. If we divide that radius in Feet by Stonehenge's Grid Point Value, we get ....

48.66934411 / 2.433467206 = 20 .... a base-10 harmonic of the 'binary' number 2.

Suppose we divide the Sarsen Circle radius in Feet into the RAD (deg) constant ?

57.29577951 / 48.66934411 = 1.177245771

Munck found that this number is the TANGENT of the precise azimuth- of-orientation of the 'Avenue' at Stonehenge ... 49.65408598 degrees. He found further that 49.65408598 is equal to :

(e / Pi) RAD .... where 'e' is the base of the so-called "natural logarithms", observed in the 'growth patterns' of natural things such as conch shells ... approximately the value 2.72 ....

(2.72258992 / Pi) x RAD (deg) = 49.65408598

Stonehenge, of course, is a very important site in this re-discovered matrix. Next to only The Great Pyramid at Giza, it is apparently the most important site on Earth in the Geomath Matrix.
