34'35 minutes from the epoch of the Isodus. The city fell
into the hands of the Israelites about 20 hours after, and just
about sunrise of the following day. Now, according to the
formulas of the Ark, the passage of Jordan dated b.c. 1568'825,
and the Exodus took place 40 lunar years anterior to the
passage of Jordan, or in b.c. 1607-625.

The standard of the metric system of the Sabeans was the
velocity of the geological subsidence of the crust of the earth
in 360 mean Tropical or Nile years. The metric value of
that standard was mathematically masonified in the dimensions
of the King's Stone, deposited in the Ark-chamber of the
Suphis pyramid of Memphis. The measurements taken of
that stone by J. Greaves, about a couple of centuries ago,
being adopted as its most accurate dimensions in English feet,
the standard has been computed to have the value of 1'72091
foot (see page 48), and has been denominated the Astro-geo-
logical Nile cubit of 360 Noctas or metric Nile years. As
the agrarian or sacred cubit was to the Nile cubit in the pro-
portion of 360?: 365-24224x360, in mean solar days, the
measure of the sacred cubit will be 1'696201 foot; con-
sequently the Hebrew ordinate A P will have measured (2000
-11-647533) x 1-696201 = 3372-663670 feet,—the subthalas-
sal section M A of that ordinate measuring 1294-208355 feet,
and its superthalassal section M P, 2078-455314 feet.

More tban thirty-four centuries have elapsed since the
above measurements were taken. If in that period of time
no gradual change has taken place, we should find the sections
M P, M A measuring now what they did in the records. Or
we might not find any alteration in M P, but a notable dimi-
nution in M A. The diminution of M A would be attributed
rather to the filling up of the water-basin of the lake with
alluvial deposits, than to any appreciable augmentation in the
secular volumes of Avater discharging into it. On the other
hand, if M P were found to be augmented 10 or 15 feet, and
M A diminished 10 or 15 feet, geologists would say that the
land had risen 10 or 15 feet in a given time. In fact, if we
have any faith in the Sabean formulas, and accord to our
forefathers the credit of having moulded in the sacred writings
