The Rotation of the Sun and

Ancient Reckoning
Charles William Johnson
The maya companion number, 1366560, has been called the "super number" by some scholars [Maurice M. Cotterell, The
Supergods.]. And, it is no wonder, when we realize that the relationship between the boiling point of water (373.16) and the
freezing point of water (273.16) on the Kelvin scale resembles a similar proportion: 1.366085811. Furthermore, we have also
seen how the relationship between the equatorial radius and polar radius of the Earth also reects a similar proportion:
1.366050662. {Earth/matriX Book List.]
The ancient reckoning system, we have maintained, reects a single system of computation, if we consider the relational
nature of the historically signicant numbers/fractals that appear in many different cultures. Now, to nd an historically
signicant number in the ancient reckoning system, and then observe its fractal appearance in different aspects of nature
(matter-energy) somehow dees logic. Many scholars are not given to accepting any scientic basis to the ancient reckoning
system, other than possibly a few coincidences of astronomical observation.
Nonetheless, the similarities of specic historically signicant numbers/fractals in relation to the numbers of the Universe
continue to surprise this author. As we consult the period of solar rotation in days as a function of position within the Sun, a
range is observed between 25 36 days. In other words, the Sun rotates runs from 25 days at the Sun's equator to 36 days at
the Sun's pole. Some estimates show these gures as 26 37 days. These day-counts refer to the outer shell of the Sun, while
the Sun also appears to rotate internally as a solid body based on a period of 27 days, in other words, its internally structured
core.
The previously cited day-counts are estimates given by scientists today. In other words, one must imagine a range referencing
these numbers of days, not necessarily an exact day-count. Hence, one could imagine a range of 26 36 days, and another 25
37 days. With that, one immediately calls to mind the ancient reckoning system of day-counts: 260c 360c. A relationship
of the calendrical day-counts is: 360 / 260 = 1.384615385. This number is extremely suggestive of the other maya companion
number, 1385540.
One can only marvel at the fact that supposedly erroneous day-counts of the ancient reckoning system (260c and 360c) just
happen to reect a fractal expression of the range of the rotation of the Sun's own day-count.
Further, we should remember that the difference between the temperature scale for boiling/freezing water reects the
proportion of the 260:360 day-counts.

One begins to imagine, not only a connection between the day-counts and the temperature scales, but a relationship between
the Sun and thermodynamics of Earth, which is obviously not only logical but a given in science.
Let us observe the relationships of the numbers within the range of the rotation of the Sun in days, as given by different
scientists:
37 / 26 = 1.423076923
37 / 25 = 1.48
36 / 26 = 1.384615385
36 / 25 = 1.44 [fractal maya long count cycle baktun 144,000 days]
The range offered recently in standard textbooks on astronomy is that of the more encompassing 25 36 days, which reects
the maya long count fractal expression/factor (1.44). Knowing that the ancients had a 360c day-count and a 260c day-count,
one can only wonder whether adjustments were made as of the companion numbers/fractals. Consider, for example,
36.0 / 1.385540 = 25.98264936 26.0 x 1.385540 = 36.02404
37 / 1.366560 = 27.07528392 36.0 / 1.366560 = 26.34351949
27 x 1.366560 = 36.89712 37.316 / 1.44 = 25.91388889
25.92 x 1.44 = 37.3248 25.956 x 1.44 = 37.37664
25.956 x 1.385540 = 35.96307624 Etc.
(Interestingly enough, the elevation of the Sun Pyramid at Teotihuacan, shown by the Ren Millon map [Teotihuacan
Mapping Project], is that of 2356.02 meters, suggesting some kind of connection with 26.0 x 1.385540 = 36.02404.)
Now, authors like Fred Hoyle [Astronomy, 1962] have pointed out how the sunspots do not generally appear above the 30-
degree latitude of the Sun. One cannot help but note that most of the major pyramidal structures around the world occur
within this band of 30-degrees north and south of the Earth's equator. Other authors call attention to the fact that a new
sunspot cycle generally makes its appearance around the 40-degree North/South latitude marking of the Sun.
Contemporary illustrations of the 25 36 range, actually show the 26 36 range encompassing the area of 30-degree North/
South latitude to the poles of the Sun.
Other relationships may be considered:
25 / 36 = .69444444 26 / 36 = .7222222222
Both of these relationships reect historically signicant numbers/fractals. The not-so-obvious one concerns the Sothic
number/fractal that we have discussed in other essays: that of .693. And, again, adjustments in computation could be effected
thereof.
25 / .693 = 36.07503608
72.15007215
144.3001443
288.6002886 (mirrored maya long count fractals)
36 x .721 = 25.956 (maya precession number/fractal)
One can imagine innumerable adjustments in the computations as of the relationships given by the rotation of the Sun and
its internal day-counts.
The ancient reckoning system, based on the 260c day-count, and the 360c day-count, have always been considered to be
errors in computation. The ancient societies in which these day-counts appear, generally have a strong cultural link to the
Sun. Many scholars may continue to view this as a mere coincidence of numbers, in that the Sun itself just happens to reect
the two specic day-counts that the ancients chose for their calendrical systems.
Scholars imagine these ancient calendrical systems to be based on the apparent movement of the Earth's moon. Nothing is
generally conceded in the way of assigning any kind of scientic meaning to these ancient day-counts. Given that our
calendar of today is an Earth-bound calendrical system, many scholars may not wish to consider the possibility that the
ancients may have been counting the days of the cited solar cycles (25c, 26c, 36c, or 37c day-counts) due to the Sun's own
internal rotation.
As we have seen herein, however, one may readily employ the ancient calendrical systems of the 260c and 360c day-counts,
with respect to the rotation of the Sun, along with many of the historically signicant numbers/fractals. In other words, the
ancient calendrical systems serve the Sun well in its own day-counts.
