[Essentials] Counts discussion
Koen G > 18-08-2018, 02:49 PM
I just made a new thread to gather all counts of things: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
Here any additions can be suggested. Count VViews, please make abundant use of your editing rights here, I must have forgotten quite a bit of things we've counted before.
Did we ever reach a definite count of the total number of human figures? -

Hi Koen,
I will just copy paste the results from the Counting Things thread here. These counts should be correct since I had updated them based on other users' comments.

Thanks VViews, I will update the essentials thread.

Hmm, there is a conflict here with what is currently in the thread. There it says:
Which would mean a total of well over 500? -

VViews > 22-11-2020, 08:30 PM
You are correct Koen!
I'm not sure where the 244 number came from, I must have gotten my wires crossed!
So 303 zodiac +234 in q13 + 5 in q8 + 10 in q14 +1 in q20
= 553 -

Surely numbers could play an interesting part in the VMs puzzle, the 4 x 17 sequence.
There are five (5) consecutive astrological houses (Pisces > Cancer) in which the representative occupants of the relevant medallions are connected in a pairing of one type or another. Each is paired within the house and the houses are paired among themselves. Pairing derives its significance from the laws of Deuteronomy. -

Quote:• There are seventeen glyphs in the four-times-repeated sequence in the second-outermost ring of f57v
I know that it is very frequently described as a 4 x 17 sequence, but it's not.
It's 2 x 17 + 2 x 17.
The first two have f in the ninth position. The second two have p in the ninth position.
