The Jewish method of reckoning time which was in use in the days of Moses, was a combination of solar and lunar time.

"In that day shall there be an altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the Lord. And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the Lord of Hosts in the land of Egypt." (Isaiah 19:19,20) What may we understand by this scripture? (The Great Pyramid)

The whole of northern Egypt forms a sector shaped country the center of which is marked by the Pyramid. To mathematicians and scientists, the center of a sector [...]
