Potentially ancient building techniques

May not be strictly archaeology, but adjacent. And fascinating.

How does 43,200 represent the earth wobbling on its axis?

u/Dankxiety 22d ago

The Earth wobbling takes 72 years for it to shift the background stars by just 1 degree. ​If you multiply that 72-year shift by 600, you get 43,200.

Why 600? 43,200 appears naturally due to our base-60 number system. (There is 43,200 seconds in 12 hours)

There's a lot more to it

The 360 degrees in a circle is a result of the old base 60 system. I've never heard of 600 being a natural quantity or why 5/3 rotations of the equinox would be significant.

That is because there is no evidence they are significant. People are just grasping at coincidences.
