Omphalos
Description
- Eli Hunt released a podcast discussing the Omphalii(?)
- The Omphalos Code (transcripton and images)
The Omphalos Code
- In a new podcast Eli Hunt described the Omphalos Code, which was used as some kind of ancient "GPS".
- The code is always "first number - visual symbol - second number"
- First number: distance in Stadion (Each stadium is equal to 184.9 meters
- visual symbol: rough heading. Imagine zodiac circle with virgo to the north.
- Second number (1-30): fine heading. Each zodiac represents a section of 30 degree. So this gives an additional offset.
- The visual symbol includes one redirection. A symbol for one of the Olympic Gods is used. This god is again ascociated to the zodiac.
- On this site the connection between Olympian Gods and zodiac is explained. There are several different systems. The system from "Manilius" fits perfectly to the information of Eli's podcast (Sagittarius - Artemis, Virgo - Demeter, Aries - Athena). In table 5 of the site the connection of zodiac to Roman Olympian Gods is shown. Table 2 of the site shows the duality of Roman and Greek Gods.
- Symbols known so far are from the podcast
