Uruk Rises Again.

Just stepping back from symbolic meanings for a moment it seems the building was almost made of a composite construction giving it strength if the composite worked, and the use of the ties to hold the plaster containing the patterns is brilliant for the time.

A nod at the symbolic, in the video the building seems off set to the surrounding wall, not by accident for people of such technical skill. A minor point perhaps but it's known about geometry and mysteries. ??

I'm not much use on construction methodology, the building seems orientated to the South West and as you say is somewhat offset to the courtyard, given the precise angles that could be perhaps explained.


The general symbolism of the patterns on the main building can be to a large extent understood,







The colour scheme Black, Red, White, relates to inter-connectivity between the Underworld, Earth, Heavens respectively, it was the preferred dress code of the Anuna Gods;











One also sees that the Throne Dais was constructed of a similar pattern and cone methodology, and there is the consideration that cones were used as foundation dedications for all establishments.






There is mathamatical encoding involved in the patterns, the red outer squares consists of 40 cones, this decreasing by 8 for each inlaid square, so 40,32,24,16,=120


This appropriate for the E-Ana relates to Venus cycles, 40 year periodics


Cycles = Earth years =Venus orbits =(Earth+Venus) =(Venus-Earth)

1..............8...................13.......................21...................5

5.............40..................65.....................105..................25

10............80..................130....................210..................50


There's also a corpus of esoteric numerics derivative from this, which was associate with stepped pyramid progression or inlaid squares, it involves sum of integers formulation, were if you want to know the sum value of any number you add 1 and multiply by half, for example the sum of intergers of 20 is 210, were 10 x 21 =210





(AC=80)& (BD=130)

80 Earth orbits =130 orbits of Venus.

Sum=210

(A+B+C+D=210)

Differential=50

(C-A=50) & (D-B=50)



It's a concern basically with pattern and harmonies within numerics that are reflected in the Heavens in terms of the Earth-Venus orbital relationships, and how these can be set four square and represented by the pyramid.







The geometric formulation of the eight pointed star motif would relate to the to the above, and a general concern with the eight directions.


Heres an example of using half values of 40,32,24,16,8, as in 20,16,12,8,4







From that the numerics of the Earth/Venus relationship can be derived, a concern with patterns and ordering, the Anuna had a lot of time on their hands...also of course these are the numerics of the Fibonaci sequence.

Your mention of Fibonacci could lead one to question whether the angle between the wall and the building could in any way related to Pascal's triangle. My mind is turning over the possibility of the angle if projected bearing any relation to the angle within the 'bent' pyramid that does not post date Djoser's step pyramid working of the Ziggurats of the area by that much in light of imparting of anything took much longer at the time. Perhaps too much of a stretch, but the influence of Sumer and Babylon is known in Egyptian culture and an open display of esoteric knowledge that still affects us today is not unknown. I simply cannot fathom a purpose to the knowledge being hidden.
