Publisher's Synopsis
Egyptian Mathematical Calculations in the Book of Mormon."Mormon's Code: Ciphers and Ancient Egyptian Knowledge" compares ancient Egyptian knowledge with The Book of Mormon. If we look closely, we can see in Mormons' Record, beautifully interwoven glimpses of their time keeping and other mathematical concepts through the use of simple codes throughout the story. Some ancient Egyptian concepts include the: The Decan Star Chart, The 360 Degree Circle, Ancient Pi and others. One example is the Solar Sunspot Cycle. The Sunspot cycle effects the temperature, geomagnetic properties, and the climate on earth. The Sun undergoes cyclical solar flare ups due to its movement and its magnetic field. Some of the oldest known written records regarding the Solar Sunspot Cycle are estimated to be from around 800 B.C.. Ancient civilizations could use the Solar Sunspot Cycle as a reference for planting and harvesting. The Sunspot cycle repeats every 11 years, moves in a southward direction, and always starts just above, or exceeds, the 30 degree line. ==Thus 11 years, southward, exceeds 30 degrees.===...........In Mormon 1:6-11 we can see a clear reference to the Solar Sunspot Cycle in how Mormon worded his sentences: "And it came to pass that I, being eleven years old, was carried by my father into the land southward, ...And it came to pass that the Nephites had gathered together a great number of men, even to exceed the number of thirty thousand..." ==Thus we see 11 years, southward and exceeds 30 in Mormon's writings.== As we compare ancient Egyptian knowledge with The Book of Mormon, several interesting parallels come to light and we see evidence of ancient Egyptian knowledge interwoven throughout Mormon's Record .
