Guest guest Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 For a long list of 12's see my THE WEB IN THE SEA. The Sumerians gave us the multiples of 6, which for them was a sacred number, hence our ", ', n hours in a day, weeks, mos in a yr. The 7th day was holy.They had the decimal system for commerce cos they cld use their fingers/toes to help. Hence the digit-al system. 13 is assoc w/Moon. 12, the Sun. The 12 wld be static w/out the Moon wh kicks the wheel. See Fairy Tales. Origin of superstit of Fri the 13th prob is Friday=Freya's Day or Venus Day - Vendredi + Moon - too much feminine for those medieval machos! Here's a fun game: Imagine a cube made up of 3x3 small ones. Paint it red. How many cubes will have 1 side red? How many 2 sides? How many 3 sides? Add them up? Draw a philosophical conclusion! Gotta go. Have a brand new grt-grandson as of 7:39 am!! love ao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
