in feet

The equatorial circumference, to be exact

That's

365.24*360*1000 = 131,486,400

Earth's equatorial circumference, in feet is

131,486,400

Look, according to mainstream academics, the Greek Eratosthenes was the first to estimate the earth's circumference and he was off by a significant amount

the lunisolar year ( 365.24 days ) FAR predates Eratosthenes

the 360 day stellar year also FAR predates Eratosthenes


Using those two year lengths you can derive the EXACT circumference of the earth, in feet

which means somebody MEASURED the earth

accurately

and did it in the time when the Sumerians ruled, as those two month lengths are from the Sumerian calendars


we're talking quite some time before Eratosthenes

Well considering nobody at that time had a consistent idea of what a "foot" was by today's standards, your argument is completely invalid. The Greek foot was 320mm, the Indus valley civs foot was 333mm, and the Egyptians primarily used cubits and their foot would range from 270 to 350mm depending on where and when you were. Any of those would throw your measurement way the fuck off when multiplied by a factor of 1000. Not to mention the number of days in a year has no connection to the circumference of the Earth and the use of "1000" is seemingly completely arbitrary.

Also the exact circumference is 131,479,713.54, putting you off by several thousand feet.

nope, you are wrong

I showed that in my thread when I explained the relationship of

P = D^.666666

as well as my thread about Plato's number

Ah numerology. Flog the numbers enough and you can get them to mean anything you want.
