Does anyone no how to communicate (directly if possible) with Dr. R.B.?  I ask this because Dr. Sungenis said I could put up his response to Dr. R.B., but he is going to need "more information" from Dr. R.B. "concerning the nature of his objection. For example, if one takes into the consideration the time zones, then the sunrise and sunset should be spaced evenly every day."

Thank you for addressing the content of the letter. It's good that Dr. Sungenis is considering the letter, even though he is asking for more information before he responds.

I just sent an email to the contact email address found on th bottom of the website where Dr. R.B.'s letter appears.  It is

See Chapters 5 and 6 of Sungenis' book Flat Earth / Flat Wrong where issues presented by the science of geodesy are dealt with at some length.

Thanks Klas, Robert seems to have covered everything. Well done.

The Egyptians knew we live on a globe. In this video, forget planet and put globe in instead.

How or from where the Egyptians attained this information is the real mystery; but a little help from their ‘gods’ cannot be ruled out. Of interest to us here is Hancock’s research that tells us nobody knows how such a pyramid was built such is its size and n measurements. He tells us the Great Pyramid is related to Earth’s shape on a scale of 1:43,200, a number ‘that is not a random number.’

‘On the contrary, it is one of a series of numbers, and multiples of those numbers, which relate to the phenomenon of precession of the equinoxes, and which have become embedded in archaic myths all around the world. As the reader can confirm by glancing back at Part V [of his book] the basic numerals of the Pyramids/Earth ratio crop up again and again in those myths, as 43,200 sometimes as 432, as 4,320, as 432,000, as 4,320,000, and so on.’---Graham Hancock: Fingerprints of the Gods, Mandarian, p.461

‘The perimeter of the Great Pyramid’s base is 3,023.16 feet and its height is 481.3949 feet…’ Now consider these calculations:

Perimeter of 3,023.16 feet ÷ 5280 (feet per mile) = 0.572568181 miles multiplied by 43,200 = 24734.94545 miles circuмference.

Height of 481.3949 feet multiplied by 43,200 = 20796259.68 feet

÷ 5280 multiplied by 2 = 7877.71099 (the Earth’s diameter) multiplied by (3.14) = 24748.55897 miles circuмference

---

So, if we go by the Great Pyramid maths then, which the same author believes is ‘a representation of the northern hemisphere of the Earth projected on flat surfaces,’ this part of the Earth indicates it is a prolate - not an oblate - spheroid, not flattened at the poles but slightly elongated, with the equatorial circuмference 13 miles shorter than the polar circuмference, that is, slightly egg-shaped. Coincidentally, this is exactly what the Cassinis measured in 1720.

Wow, a rather incredible find to say the least!  I am going to have to look more into this.  Really amazing!

How about this Klas: Long before Hancock's measurements:

Finally, on account of their virtue and for the sake of the usefulness of their knowledge of astronomy and geometry, God gave them a long life, for they could have foretold nothing with certainty unless they lived for 600 years, the period of the completion of a “great year.”… He also accepts Josephus’s claim that it was through the study of the stars [the wandering stars, the planets], indeed of the irregularity of their motions, that Abraham was led to knowledge of the true God, for their irregularity shows that they move, not by their own will, but for our benefit in service to a commanding power.’[1]

Here is the response in french I received today from flatearthtrads@gmail.com. I forwarded the response in french on to Dr. Sungenis today.  I also have included a Google translation of the french below it.

Si je comprends bien, il demandeles précisions d'orientation de lever et de coucher de soleil non pas selon les zones de latitude mais plutôt de longitude, ce qui correspondrait plutôt aux 'time zones', n'est-ce pas, c'est-à-dire selon la situation à l'est ou à l'ouest de Greewich?
 
Pour moi, selon ma réflexion, cela ne change rien si ce n'est un décalage dans le temps, et cela ne m'importe pas de réfléchir sur sa zone géographique aux Etats Unis (quelle est sa ville ?). On peut de toutes façon vérifier sur timeanddate.com.
 
Ce que je veux montrer et qui est très simple et connu de toutes les personnes qui vivent par exemple dans l'hémisphère nord entre le tropique du cancer et le pôle Nord:
 
Le soleil va de l'est vers l'ouest au printemps et à l'automne
                 du sud est vers le sud ouest en hiver (parcours apparent plus petit)
                 du nord est au nord ouest en été (parcours apparent plus grand)
Tout le monde est d'accord ?
 
Mais avec un globe, qu'il soit géocentrique ou héliocentrique, le problème est que l'inclinaison de 66,6° de l'axe terrestre N-S avec le plan de l'écliptique rend bien compte de l'ensoleillement varible selon les saisons et de la hauteur du soleil au zénith. C'est bien ce qui a permis de tromper tout le monde en faisant croire que la théorie copernicienne était recevable.
En revanche, dès que l'on s'intéresse aux levers et couchers de soleil, ceux-ci devraient être :
asymétriques au printemps et automne( est et sud ouest   ou   sud-est et ouest)
en été le soleil vient du sud-est pour aller au sud ouest (plus petit parcours)
tandis qu'en hiver, il part de l'est pour aller à l'ouest...
 
Le problème est que pour les directions, en particulier pour les asymétries, il est difficile d'invoquer la diffraction de l'atmosphère ou une autre explication.
 
Voyons le modèle FE:
Il est parfaitement cohérent en admettant que notre visibilité, non seulement avec la perspective mais aussi avec l'effet loupe de l'atmosphère humide
car les levers et couchers sont toujours symétriques
et en été où le circuit est plus proche du nord, ils sont plutôt vers le nord (nord-est et nord-ouest)
tandis qu'en hiver où la trajectoire est plus au sud, la perte de visibilité du soleil est plus en direction du sud (sud-est et sud-ouest)
 
Je suis aussi à disposition s'il souhaite de plus amples renseignements sur n'importe quel détail.
 
J'ai aussi un pojet de synthèse sur la FE et ses conséquences métaphysiques; je vous le donnerai dès qu'il sera terminé

*******************
As I understand it demandeles orientation details sunrise and sunset not depending on the area of latitude but longitude, which rather correspond to the 'time zones', is not it, that is -to say in the situation in the east or west Greewich?
For me, in my thinking, it does not change if it is a time lag, and it does not matter to me to reflect on its geographical area in the US (which is his city?). We can all check on how timeanddate.com .
What I want to show and that is very simple and known to all the people living for example in the northern hemisphere between the Tropic of Cancer and the North Pole:
The sun goes from east to west in the spring and fall
south east to south west in winter (apparent path smaller)
North is to the north west in summer (apparent path more)
Everyone is in agreement ?
But with a globe, it is geocentric or heliocentric, the problem is that the inclination of 66.6 ° to the Earth's axis NS with the plane of the ecliptic well aware of sunshine varible with the seasons and the height of the sun at its zenith. This is what has helped fool everyone into believing that the Copernican theory was admissible.
But as soon as one is interested in the sunrises and sunsets, these should be:
asymmetric spring and autumn (east and south west or south east and west)
in summer the sun comes from the southeast to go south west (smaller route)
while in winter it from the east to go west ...
The problem is that for directions, especially for asymmetries, it is difficult to invoke the diffraction of the atmosphere or another explanation.
Let the FE model:
It is perfectly consistent admitting that our visibility, not only with the prospect but also with the magnifying effect of the humid atmosphere
because the sunrises and sunsets are always symmetrical
and in summer when the circuit is closer to the north, they are more to the north (northeast and northwest)
while in winter where the trajectory is further south, loss of sunlight visibility is more to the south (southeast and southwest)
I am also available if he wants more information on any detail.
I also have a synthetic pojet the FE and its metaphysical implications; I will give you once completed

What in God's name is he saying klas, or rather trying to say? Do you know?

No idea!  I am awaiting to see if I get any comment from Robert S.
