NascoBLOG 11
Image (c) WILLIAM JAMES VEALL
Greetings to you all. Welcome to NascoBlog11.
Firstly, a note of apology. Due to a computer glltch after installing new software, it has been necessary to remove the originals and reissue NascoBlogs 10 and 11.
So, to continue from NascoBlog10 The 'Geometriglyph' may have not only been designed for archaeoastronomical surveying but the inherent 'Celestial Constant' (5.4545) appears to allow it to express linear lengths in terms of a 'Universal Unit of Measurement'. For example, convert an ancient linear measurement into a metric equivalent, divide by the celestial constant, the result will be expressed as an almost exact 'Phoenician' 'Universal Unit'.
It is therefore a small step to create a standardised linear measuring rod or flexible 'tape measure'. Well, it turns out that the Egyptians, for example, calculated the volume of liquid in standard rounded vessels (wine) by measuring the major circumference. So, now we have the Geometriglyph measuring volumes!
https://english.tau.ac.il/news/measuring_system
In my humble opinion, forget about 'elbow to thumb', 'size of the King's left foot' or any of the other weird notions concerning the world's invention of units of measurement. Advanced, sophisticated societies would not have tolerated such a plethora of juxtaposed systems of measurement ("The King is Dead. Long live the King - with his larger/smaller left foot !!”). Units would have to be to a precise linear, spherical or volumetric standard of measurement.
The one great universal constant the world over is the Heavens. Eternal ancestral home, ever changing, but never changing. Constant through all eternity. Units created from the Heavens transmuted for use on earth.

The "Lost island of Atlantis": To recap, in NascoBlog9 we put all the evidence in place to prove that "Atlanteans" from the Mediterranean journeyed to, and took up residence, in the Andean Highlands of Peru and created a "Kingdom of the Dead" and "Highway of the Dead".
I will now put in place the last piece of the puzzle to one of the World's great mysteries: If my foregoing hypothesis about Atlantis was true: I had to prove those self-same Peoples from the Mediterranean carved the mass of inscriptive material and multi-racial human head figurals and not the indigenous Indians.
The indigenous population at the time were basically illiterate having no form of known written communication whatsoever between themselves, let alone produce hundreds of inscriptions using 'Phoenician' characters. I doubt very much they could have compiled the vast Scriptorium which is entirely enscribed in Phoenician.
Further, the human busts exhibit no trace of indigenous Indian physiognomy; they are classic Greco-Roman, Arabic or Syrian, Chinese or Hindu. Others have the appearances of being not Negroid but Black-African.
Finally, neither the Nasca Culture nor any other of the indigenous tribes, had - or indeed exhibited - the scientific or mathematical knowledge to construct sophisticated archaeological monuments like the Nasca LInes, the huge Landscape Planetarium or the Southern Andes Linear Observatory. Nor to cartographically plan and execute a 300 kilometre "Great Highway".
(See Portraits of the Gods. Nascodex Publications 2010).
Thus, from the foregoing evidence and its early chronology, it is clear Peoples from the Old World Civilisations MUST have brought this knowledge into Peru and among those Peoples the main protagonists were the Phoenician - Canaanites from the Lebanon who eventually remained in residence for nearly 800 years.
NascoBlog11 is the final NascoBlog for 2013. I hope sincerely that you have enjoyed travelling along one archaeoastronomers' road of discovery. For me it has been an incredibly, intensive, but exciting and, may I say modestly, successful Year 2013 culminating in the discovery which suggested the 'Continental Island' of South America was indeed the 'Long Lost Island of Atlantis'.
Further, the long held, much venerated belief that Columbus discovered America was blown completely out of the water (s'cuse the pun) by massive evidence from the Phoenician's 'New World Kingdom' ("Portraits of the Gods". Nascodex Publications. 2010) which they, and their multi-racial counterparts, occupied in the Southern Andes of Peru for 800 years, or more. Thus, I was able to confirm the long held Diffusionist's belief that Trans-Oceanic Peoples from the Mediterranean were the first to set foot in the Americas, 3000 years BEFORE Christopher Columbus.
I am very hopeful that in the coming New Year a transliteration of some of the inscriptive material discovered will devolve a new name for us to celebrate as the true discoverer of America and in turn put their country of origin into the history books - or until the next time - an archaeologists' trowel or passing satellite pauses in a new act of discovery.
A VERY HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND PEACEFUL NEW YEAR 2014 TO YOU ALL

NascoBLOG 10

Hello and welcome to this re-issue of NascoBlog10. 13th November 2013.
Firstly a note of apology: Owing to a computer glitch after installing new software, it is necessary to reissue this NascoBlog10. Para 9 and 10 contained co-ordinate errors and has been removed for correction. The item will be carried over to a NascoBlog in the New Year.
Back to the topic. Last week I introduced a rather special Figural in the foothills of the Nasca Pampa called a 'Mandala' and how I had analysed and tested this geometrical geoglyph and found it was importantly associated with the 'Lines' and as such helped to prove they were constructed in accordance with astronomical phenomena.
The first stage in constructing my 'Mandala' - which I call a 'Geometriglyph' - was to reproduce an acccurate copy of the figural from an aerial photograph which presented a measure of difficulty because the geoglyph is sited on a sloping, irregular, rock- face.
For your interaction this week: log-on to Google Earth, enter the co-ordinates Latitude 14 38 38S. Longtitude 75 10 16W to view and explore the 'Mandala' for yourself. Notice its closeness to the Nasca Lines Display opposite.
I have not included in NascoBlog10 the intricate geometry or astronomy behind the construction of the 'Geometriglyph' so have kept the text purely descriptive. Firstly, note that the rectilinear, compartmental Geometriglyph comprises of two rectangles, rotated 90º to each other. There are three stone circles, an inner core circle which contains a number of small radials, an intermediate circle and a large outer circle. The sides of the core rectangle are set tangential to the outer circle. Ignore for now the inner circles, radials, grid lines and corner compartments.
For the moment we will concentrate on the Geometriglyph's outer circle because it has a most unusual feature. The circle is divided by 66 stone markers. Sixty six seems at first glance to not only be an observational error on my part, but a quite inconvenient rather random number. Each numbered circumferencial division is equal to 5.4545 º; this number, which I call the 'Celestial Constant', has proven to be truly unique. (I will explain in NascoBlog11)
(The Minoan Civilisation, 2700BC - 1500BC (Bronze Age)) allegedly produced a disc shaped bronze calendar which automatically corrected the imbalance between the calendar year (365 days) and a solar (seasonal) year of 365.2422 days. Unfortunately, no record exists as to how the disc automatically intercalated the extra day every fourth (leap) year.
(Butler, A. 'A Bronze Age Computer Disc’. Quantum. Mar. 1999).
However, to continue. I decided to stick with the '66' anomaly and project diagonals through the Geometriglyph's centre point. Hey presto! The figural recorded solstices, equinoxes, the zeniths and anti-zeniths and lunar maxima and minima cycles. Also certain first magnitude stars, and even the beautiful Pleiades constellation.
I cross -checked the Geometriglyph over many Nasca Lines' features: long and short geoglyphic lines, zig-zags (proving in the process that they could/were used as Linear Observatories), trapezoidal, triangular and rectangular areas, Line centres (after Aveni), ceques (after Zuidema) and many of the well known figurals, the Monkey, Killer Whale, Hummingbird, the Snakebird (Cormorant) and the Spider, to name just a few.
Apart from my Nasca Lines research; this remarkable astronomically constructed device was utilised during my research and subsequent discovery of the Southern Andes Linear Observatory and the vast Landscape Planetarium, 4.500 metres above sea level, in the Peruvian Andes Mountains.

In truth, the device is so versatile I have used it to analyse pyramids, tombs and temples, and many stone circles like Stonehenge and Avebury in the UK along with other edifices across the archaeological world. As a guide for architecture suspected of being constructed in accordance with celestial phenomena the Geometriglyph has proved invaluable. It was this 'international' feature which strengthened my convictions that the Nasca Culture did not construct the basic Nasca Lines.
Note: The Geometriglyph has full International Copyright Protection under Registration Code INPI 140510 and must not be reproduced by any means whatsoever without written permission from Nascodex or the author, William James Veall.
In NascoBlog11 you will learn how the 'Celestial Constant' formed basic 'Units of Measurement' for transposing on to linear rods or 'tape measures' and how it may have been used for calculating the volume of liquid (wine) in a vessel:

I will tell you more about this exciting discovery in NascoBlog11 on the 28th November 2013. and, as promised, how it weaves together my hypothesis that South America is the true "Long Lost Island of Atlantis".
Be with you all again on 28th November 2013.
