Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 27255788 United States 03/19/2018 12:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | here's what I mean The modern Jewish calendar uses: 29 + 1/2 + 40/(24 × 60) + 73/(1080 × 24) days = 29 + 1/2 + 40/1440 + 73/25920 days = 29 + 13753/25920 days this matches the Babylonian rendered from base 60 to base 10 mean synodic month = 29 days 31' 50'' 8''' 20'''' That is, 29 days, 31 minutes, 50 seconds, 8 thirds, and 20 fourths. Expressed in base 10 numerals in terms of days with an exact fractional remainder that equals: 29 + 31/60 + 50/(60 × 60) + 8/(60 × 60 × 60) + 20/(60 × 60 × 60 × 60) days = 29 + 31/60 + 50/3600 + 8/216000 + 20/12960000 days = 29 + 13753/25920 days The flood narrative in the bible says 150 days ( x2) In nominal days of 86,400 seconds each, this is 12,960,000 seconds Plato called this number " The lord of better and worse births " thoughts ? |

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 27255788 United States 03/19/2018 12:29 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Interesting OP. The flood has been dated to 2241BC as decoded from the Codex Argenteus and among other sources. Did Plato have a date it occurred written anywhere? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 73111988 actually it's nowhere near that simple, there are quite a few separate types of flood terms in ancient literature, hardly any refer to actual floods Plato's writing is from the Republic, iirc Also the source of what academics call " Plato's number " Wiki has a good article on it |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76375728 that's a great baseless assertion if you wanted me to believe ancients thought the earth was flat, you'd have to explain to me why their water clocks timed the rotation of a sphere, nominal good luck |
