The second chapter of The Politics of Number is focussed on the structure of cosmic time, as did my first book Matrix of Creation. It begins with a reproduction I made in the Heraklion Museum in Crete:
Item 2646: A “Perforated Utensil” possibly for use with incense,
New Palace Period: "Advanced and Final Phase of the Palace of Knossos" Gallery V, The Heraklion Museum
My model reproduces the pattern on the top of the disk, which I decoded in the hours following a visit to the museum. It appears to form a simulator that can count days and track the lunar nodes in a similar way to the megalithic simulation of celestial bodies likely to have taken place at Carnac in Brittany, the subject of the second report on Le Manio by the Heath Brothers.
We know that by the Bronze Age, gears had been invented for this purpose, as found in the Antikythera Clock recovered from the sea just north of Crete. Simulators based around a circle of holes are just a few steps away from being gear wheels whose cogs can interact to distribute a day count to wheels representing longer cycles of time.
This Saturnian time system will be the subject of a further article which will be linked in here. More on the Disk of Chronos, as I called it, can be found here.
