Description
Summary:The study aimed at identifying a scheme of dimensional and geometric relation-ships that could applied to a famous megalithic monument called “calendar circle”, located in the archaeological area of Nabta Playa. In the revealed sizes, there are repetitions of some prime numbers. A special role in all these cases belongs to the prime number 37, which may be is connected with the sequence of numbers of the “Dome Algorithm” (1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 13, 17, 21, 29, 37, ...) , identified by the author earlier and having a cosmographic sense. Similar dimensional and geometric regularities repeatedly revealed by the author earlier. In particular, one can note in this sense the famous megalith Ales Stenar in Sweden and the Sun Boat of Pharaoh Cheops. The results obtained in this article allow us to state that the creators of “small calendar circle” of Nabta Playa were familiar with both the methods of exact geometric constructions and the ancient Egyptian linear measures system.
