Ancient Mathematics and Occultism

Ancient Mathematics, Occultism and Astrology Part 1

Most histories of mathematics devote only a few pages to Ancient Egypt and Northern Africa during the Middle Ages. Generally, they ignore the history of mathematics in Africa south of the Sahara and give the impression that this history either did not exist or, at least, is not knowable, traceable, or, stronger still, that there was no mathematics south of the Sahara. In history, to Europeans, even the Africanity of Egyptian mathematics is often denied or suffers eurocentric views of conceptions of both history and mathematics form the basis of such opinions. The definition of Mathematics according to the ancient Egyptians is as follows: Accurate method of investigation of the knowledge of all existing things and obscure secrets and mysteries. 

Occultism and Astrology

Arial view of Adam's Calendar

The oldest artificial structure on earth is in South Africa, known as Adam's Calendar and currently Enkis Calendar. The site is estimated to be around 75,000 years old, as dated by rock art in the area. Adams' Calendar. Sometimes referred to as "African Stonehenge", it predates both Stonehenge and the Great Pyramid of Giza by tens of thousands of years. Located in Mpumalanga, South Africa, it is a standing stone circle about 30 meters in diameter and estimated by some accounts to be more than 75,000 years old. Various astronomical alignments have been identified at the site, possibly the only example of a completely functional, reasonably intact megalithic stone calendar worldwide.

Scattered throughout the mountains of South Africa are thousands of stone circle ruins. 

The first estimate of the number of these ruins was made in 1891 by English explorer Theodore Bent. 

He estimated there were about 4,000 in this area of the world. 

By 1974 the estimate had risen to 20,000. 

Today, a researcher and authority on the subject, Michael Tellinger, has estimated the number of ancient stone ruins to be 100,000 or possibly much higher. 

This connected grid of circular ruins is engrossed in a seemingly never-ending expanse of ancient agricultural terraces surrounding the structures.

The Red Ochre Stone

The Red Ochre Tally Stone

This Red Ochre Stone has slashes that look like tally marks. It is one of two such stones recently found in the Blombos Cave in South Africa and is 77,000 years old, making them the oldest form of recorded counting ever discovered. To those who doubted it, Africa is indeed the cradle of humanity and women (if it is indeed a lunar tool) were quite advanced mathematicians 35,000 years ago, using calculators to make lunar calendars! 

Lembombo Bone Swaziland

Have you ever heard of the According to some researchers, It is the oldest known mathematical artefact in the world. It is even older than the Ishango bone. According to some researchers, it is the oldest known mathematical artefact in the world. Lembombo bone originated from a Border Cave, a rock shelter on the western scarp of the Lebombo Mountains near the border of South Africa and Swaziland (now Eswatini), in the 1970s. They uncovered the bone on the Eswatini side dated from 35,000 BC. It consists of 29 distinct notches, deliberately cut into a baboon fibula.

The bone is between 44,200 and 43,000 years old, according to 24 radiocarbon datings. It is far older than the Ishango bone, with which it is sometimes confused. Other notched bones are 80,000 years old, but it is unclear if the marks are merely decorative or have a functional meaning.

Lembombo Bone

According to The Universal Book of Mathematics, the Lebombo bone 29 slashes may have been a lunar phase counter. And that African women may have been the first mathematicians because keeping track of menstrual cycles requires a lunar calendar. However, the bone is broken at one end, so the 29 notches may or may not be a minimum number. In the cases of other notched bones, since found globally, there has been no consistent notch tally, many being in the 1–10 range. The Lebombo bone resembles a calendar used by the early men of the area, coming from the San clans of Namibia; this way of making tallies is still used by the San people today.

It resembles a calendar used by the early men of the area, coming from the San clans of Namibia. These represent the earliest unambiguous evidence for modern human behaviour. An article in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) on recent archaeological discoveries, Early evidence of San material culture represented by organic artefacts from Border Cave, South Africa, has shown that bone tools were already present 75,000 years ago and were used in San culture.

The Lebombo bone is a tool made of a baboon fibula with incised markings discovered in Border Cave in the Lebombo Mountains between South Africa and Eswatini. Changes in the section of the notches indicate different cutting edges, which the discoverer, Peter Beaumont, views as evidence, like other markings found in the world, during participation rituals.

The bone is between 44,200 and 43,000 years old, according to 24 radiocarbon datings. It is far older than the Ishango bone, with which it is sometimes confused. Other notched bones are 80,000 years old, but it is unclear if the marks are merely decorative or have a functional meaning.

Ishango Bone

The Ishango bone, discovered at the Fisherman Settlement of Ishango in the Democratic Republic of Congo, is a bone tool and possible mathematical device that dates to the Upper Paleolithic era. Perhaps the third oldest mathematical artefact to date. Ishango-Bone was unearthed in 1950 in the then-Belgian colony of the Congo (now the Democratic Republic of Congo). It was discovered by the Belgian anthropologist Jean de Heinzelin de Braucourt (1920-1998) and named after the region found. The bone, probably a fibula of a baboon, large cat, or other large mammal, has been dated to the Upper Paleolithic Period of human history, approximately 20,000-25,000 years ago. 

Ishango Bone

It is 10 cm long and bears an articulated, organized series of notches readily identifying it, to many observers, as a tally stick. However, its original purpose remains a subject of debate. The Ishango Bone is at the Museum of Natural Sciences in Brussels.

Most histories of mathematics devote only a few pages to Ancient Egypt and Northern Africa during the Middle Ages. Generally, they ignore the history of mathematics in Africa south of the Sahara and give the impression that this history either did not exist or, at least, is not knowable, traceable, or, still, that there was none at all south of the Sahara. In history, to Europeans, even the Africanity of Egyptian mathematics is often denied or suffers eurocentric views of conceptions of both history and mathematics form the basis of such opinions.

Ishango Bone

High in the mountains of Central Equatorial Africa, on the borders of Uganda and Zaire, lies Lake Edward, a source of the Nile. It is a small lake (about 30 miles by 60 miles). Though the area is sparsely populated today, approximately 25,000 (update from 9,000) years ago, by the shores of the lake lived a small community that fished, gathered, and grew crops. The settlement only existed a few hundred years before being buried in a volcanic eruption. The place where their remains were found (1960) has a name now given to these people - Ishango. Among their remains is the third oldest mathematical object in Africa.

Some say that the Ishango Bone is the oldest table of prime numbers. Marshack later concluded, based on his microscopic examination, that it represented a six-month lunar calendar. Professor Charles Finch sent dating information by email stating the following: The site where we found the Ishango Bone, re-dated by Alison Brooks more than a dozen years ago, was about 25,000 years old rather than the original estimate of 8,500 years. Proto-mathematics begins in Paleolithic Central and Southern Africa.

Ifa Algebra and Binary Codes

Ifa Algebra and Binary Codes

The Babalows use Odu to open a passage into the invisible (heaven) and earth, visible realms through tetrahedron angle points. The processes of generating Odu patterns require the application of Clifford algebra C1(8) and C1(8)xC1(8) = C1(16), representing the 16 Odus of Ifa. 

Over 12,000 years ago, indigenous Africans inherited the Binary Oracle Divination System, based on the square of 16=16x16=256 = 2^8 corresponding to the vertices of an 8-dimensional hypercube and the binary 2-choice Clifford algebra C1(8) and so to related ones such as C1(8)xC1(8) = C1(16), from Orunmila (god of writing and wisdom). Since the number of sub-hypercubes in an 8-dimensional hypercube is 6,561 =81x81=3^8, the Ifa Divination Systems has N=8 ternary 3-structures (6,561) and 2-structure (256).

In biological terms, this invocation unlocks the memory of the development of our fetus. This development mirrors the energy patterns found throughout nature. When Ifa initiates the experience of this memory, called Elerin Ipin (witness to creation). Simply put, this memory is an experiential understanding of life, death, transformation and rebirth as they replicate through generation and regeneration cycles.

This experience gives the Ifa initiate the vision to interpret the symbolic meaning of Ifa oral scripture. Each of these patterns contains an inherent lesson necessary to move consciousness to the next stage of development. The ability to use these patterns as medicine to treat physical, emotional and spiritual afflictions; was established on the capacity of the Ifa initiate going into possession of each of these.
