Theos-Talk Archives (May 2000 Message tt00278)

Tony, I did find your quotation immensely interesting, it related closely to
an analysis of the chaldean system. The Seven tones or fractions (1/6, 1/5,
1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, and 5/6)in whole numbers yield 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 40
and 50 - the sum of which is 177.
Now Anu did not only mean 60, but also One (written  by a large "1" in later
systems). 60 was represented by a half-disc or semi-circle. 177 =
(355 -1)/2. (which relates to your quotation mentioning 56.5 = 113/2)
The seven tones had an descending and ascending scale (represented by two
half-circles). A thorough investigation of the chaldean system might yield
amazing results.
By comparison the hindu scale was based on 22 intervals and 7 tones, the
idea remains the same.
