El Triangulo de Platon y El Factor Gnomonico: Una aplicacion a los oraculos de Herodoto

TL;DR

This paper introduces a modified gnomonic factor based on Plato's triangle, revealing that ancient oracles were located using specific shadow formations of a gnomon, indicating advanced astronomical knowledge by Egyptians before Greeks.

Contribution

It presents a new concept called the Platonic gnomonic factor, linking ancient oracle locations to specific shadow geometries and suggesting earlier Egyptian understanding of these geometric principles.

Findings

Oracles' locations correspond to specific shadow triangles.

Egyptian knowledge predates Greek formalization of these concepts.

Shadow projections align with ancient sacred geometries.

Abstract

A modification to the gnomonic factor using the concept of triangle of Plato is presented. With the aid of the platonic gnomonic factor (fgp) as we called it, we find that the oracles mentioned by Herodotus in his History, Dodona in Greece and Ammon in Oasis Siwa, Libya, were placed there because the noon shadow of Sun of a gnomon formed, back in 2500BC, the triangle of Plato the former, and the Egyptian sacred triangle the latter. This means that both concepts were known by Egyptians form Thebes long before they were formalized by the Greeks. The right angled triangle concept is an idealization, as said by D. Magdolen, of an astronomical observation; i. e. it is the shadow cast by a gnomon. ----- Se presenta una modificacion al factor gnomonico usando el concepto de triangulo de Platon. Con la ayuda de lo que llamamos factor gnomonico platonico (fgp) nosotros encontramos que los oraculos mencionados por Herodoto en su Historia, Dodona en Grecia, y Ammon en el Oasis Siwa, Libia, fueron ubicados ahi porque, hacia el anio 2500AC, la sombra proyectada por un gnomon vertical formo el triangulo de Platon en el primero y el triangulo sagrado Egipcio el ultimo. Esto significa que ambos conceptos eran conocidos por los Egipcios de Tebas, a decir de Herodoto, bastante antes de estos fueran formalizados por los griegos. El concepto de triangulo rectangulo seria la idealizacion, como dice D. Magdolen, de una observacion astronomica; esto es, la proyeccion de la sombra por un gnomon.
