Thoth & Hermes Through to the Magna Carta & US Constitution — Weights Measures

hello SJD sacred geometry decoded and
0:03
whatever relook at weights and measures
0:05
connections to ancient systems of law
0:09
and also for symbolism connected very in
0:12
so ancient societies no different from
0:14
us the importance of standard weights
0:16
and measures web for architecture of the
0:18
economy taxation also are basically one
0:23
of the simple tools of peacemaking
0:25
amongst keeping a civilization going
0:28
weights and measures can't be
0:29
underestimated and so for instance back
0:32
in Egypt a marker place you want well
0:35
that they were enforced for instance the
0:37
gold and copper Devon were a standard of
0:40
of weight and also they were fixed to
0:43
the amount of grain you could buy but
0:45
whether you're buying cloth medicines
0:48
cosmetics anything the importance of
0:52
standardized weights and measures and
0:54
understanding because they weren't using
0:55
coins in the way that we have now so
0:59
they would have to for instance if you
1:00
come with copper to pay or gold to pay
1:03
it would be measured there wasn't like a
1:04
pre stamped guaranteed weight coin but
1:07
also for taxation purposes land owners
1:11
would have their land measured the
1:13
amount of grain would then be which they
1:15
paid in tax would then be connected to
1:17
how much measurable land arable land
1:20
they had and also the rope stretches we
1:25
used a 3 4 5 triangle to develop right
1:27
angles especially after the Nile floods
1:29
some land might be lost to the flood or
1:31
gained in silt and your taxes would be
1:34
adjusted varying or whether it's
1:37
architecture so being able to weigh
1:41
things and know how much is weight how
1:43
much force needs to be applied how to
1:46
fit things together weights and measures
1:48
is a essential standard no different
1:51
from them as what there is now
1:53
so Book of the Dead famously we see folk
1:57
and Anubis weighing for hard against the
1:59
feather to as part of a journey into the
2:04
next life next world the Duat our
2:09
journey but the connect weights and
2:11
measures also in this symbolic
2:13
spiritual sense as well but who was
2:16
Fogle's have got god of knowledge of
2:19
magic basically of science and the
2:21
connection to well the rods measuring
2:24
rod upper and lower egypt but he was the
2:27
god of weights and measures and so
2:29
famous book of a dead spell 25 you can
2:33
so many direct connections over to for
2:36
instance the books of law in the Old
2:38
Testament
2:38
I have not reduced the measuring vessel
2:41
a measuring vessel would be a jar for
2:43
instance that would be filled with grain
2:45
or liquid and and from that the official
2:48
standards were determined I've not
2:51
reduced the measuring chords however
2:53
you're selling cloth land you know you
2:57
have just like now you don't have a
2:59
short ruler or a long ruler depending if
3:01
you're buying or selling it's a it's a
3:03
way of cheating I've not encroached on
3:05
the field so for instance in taxation
3:07
you know firstly you don't wanna steal
3:09
land from another person but you don't
3:11
want to move land borders to reduce your
3:14
taxes at the expense of someone else I
3:16
have not added to the pain scale so
3:18
again you have not when you're selling
3:21
especially you wood or buying the pick
3:25
again you have not cheated the pain
3:26
scale so and I've not tampered with the
3:29
plumb-bob of the scales there we see the
3:30
plumb bob and a way of adjusting so
3:32
usually see two panes on either side but
3:35
there are also scales you might be
3:37
familiar with when we see like a long
3:38
stick and there's one pan and then you
3:41
would adjust the plumb bob and you can
3:43
determine weights from there as well so
3:46
it's not just about tax and it's
3:49
connected to morality as well and our
3:53
life well lead now our code of hem euro
3:55
by famous to do with standardization of
4:00
laws if you can get the translation of
4:02
the code of home you're a boy and the
4:04
deals specific know how much
4:06
compensation must be paid for this how
4:08
much you must give for that and so again
4:11
standardizing will weights and measure
4:13
systems also standardizing laws and the
4:16
connection between law and weights and
4:18
measures it's impossible to separate
4:21
them so here we see a mirror by
4:24
receiving the Royal insignia of a rod
4:26
and the ring
4:27
over rotten record which is a symbol of
4:29
weights and measures because the king
4:31
the Queen the the high priests other
4:34
ones which determine what they are ever
4:36
once who then charged taxes for instance
4:38
but they also enforce these laws
4:41
invar marketplace so very he is
4:43
receiving some same are doing some say
4:45
shamash but here we see later depiction
4:48
of the son of the sun-god shamash who
4:50
was also Vil the God of justice morality
4:52
and truth truth in weights and measures
4:55
morality in your dealings and justice
4:57
for those who cheat the laws laws of
4:59
Lights army spit especially that's a now
5:03
very some discussion with of a rod and
5:06
the Rope is a ring and a rope but again
5:07
there are these level of depictions
5:09
which do show it we've moved the rod on
5:11
the rope the measuring cord as well in
5:17
Anna his sister famous journey into the
5:20
underworld each time she passed through
5:21
one of seven gates she had to give away
5:23
a piece of jewelry or clothing the first
5:25
item I think or she gave away was a
5:27
measuring rod of lapis as you like as
5:31
you like yeah and so again these gods
5:35
royalty connected to that this famous
5:37
Bernie relief of I start again she's got
5:40
the same symbol royal authority of a
5:44
royal insignia noun and she was also
5:46
important God goddess in that
5:49
Mesopotamia VAT she especially was a
5:52
protector of poor people against
5:54
cheating weights and measures cheating
5:57
land boundaries and so for instance she
5:59
was the guarantor of boundaries that
6:00
people weren't taking your land from you
6:03
adding land to your border temporarily
6:05
to cheat their taxes also to weigh
6:08
silver weave standard weights to
6:10
standardize for size of red baskets
6:13
which would also apply to tack you know
6:15
because tax would be defined on so many
6:17
jars of of grain or B and so you would
6:21
have to have standardized ones and that
6:24
that the government officials or whether
6:26
people you were doing business we
6:27
weren't cheating there would be standard
6:29
sizes for these so she was again so
6:33
important whether it's Zeus so many are
6:36
you also see Athena
6:37
the lawgivers people
6:40
to do with morality especially a FINA
6:42
wisdom and and defensive arts but the
6:47
scepter and the org which is also later
6:50
in Christian symbols as well the scepter
6:53
and orb and also over kings and queens
6:55
still to this day it's a potent symbol
6:57
of their authority so now would be most
7:00
Republic now but still it's there
7:03
there's a Bureau of weights and measures
7:04
who very carefully and also very
7:09
strictly enforce official system so now
7:12
it's not just for Fairtrade it's also
7:14
for safety issues as well so the rod
7:18
Envy orb weights and measures
7:20
so both God of weights and measures also
7:23
was Hermes Hermes Trismegistus god of
7:26
hills also / god of commerce weights and
7:29
measures in commerce hills also the god
7:30
of travelers what do merchants do they
7:33
travel he carries the caduceus which was
7:37
a olive branch given to him by apollo
7:41
again to extend an olive branch he's
7:43
still a term for peace but also it was a
7:46
wand and the wand in ancient Greek
7:49
translates to a reed or a measuring rod
7:51
and his nice connection to Anubis and in
7:57
there as well because Hermes and five
7:59
direct connections between them but also
8:02
her maneuvers which was Anubis and
8:05
Hermes blended together and her
8:07
maneuvers carries her weight in one hand
8:09
and the measuring rod in the other book
8:13
of a dead spell 25 lots of we'll get to
8:15
this but similarities between especially
8:18
the books of law Ten Commandments
8:21
essentially it's the same thing going on
8:23
there this is a famous one from Greece
8:26
near marathon and it's Isis and she's
8:29
got the caduceus the measuring rod for
8:32
one of of Hermes and she's also got two
8:36
travelers hat of Hermes but she's also
8:38
carrying the grains and what's grains
8:40
important well grains for instance free
8:43
barley corn was an inch never would be
8:45
an official standard but for people
8:47
doing trade out and you know in the
8:49
sticks let's say they couldn't get
8:51
access to the temple or to the Royal
8:52
Court to get you
8:54
official rod they could quickly work out
8:58
what a what a foot was because that
9:00
would be an inch is free Barleycorn 12
9:04
inches is a foot so 36 Barleycorn you've
9:07
got a foot but the grains were also used
9:10
as systems of measures so for instance
9:12
troy ounce is when you see the ounce of
9:15
gold or silver it's not the standard
9:17
food ounce it's two troy ounce and so
9:19
that's a half a troy ounce 480 grains is
9:22
a troy ounce 240 that's half a troy
9:25
ounce this is the apothecaries weight
9:26
system because just like grains tent it
9:30
would be would be a standard size
9:32
they're also pretty much a standard
9:33
weight we would be much more accurate
9:35
nowadays but back then this was in a
9:37
very effective way of getting effective
9:40
of standard weights and measures by
9:42
because the barley would be the same
9:44
size of course there would be an
9:47
official measure somewhere but again you
9:50
could do these types of things even out
9:52
in the field
9:52
the indle civilization had standardized
9:56
weights and measures as well and these
9:58
are some of these cubes which were
10:00
weight scales and they said to be off
10:03
the ganja seed so seeds grain now also
10:08
ice is he holding an ear of grain it's
10:12
also a story of Isis's shields would be
10:14
in Egypt and Ptolemaic period Isis Isis
10:20
dropped a ear of grain as she was
10:22
running away from - they got scattered
10:24
across the sky and made to get Milky Way
10:26
which is a nice link to the
10:28
constellations and especially Virgo who
10:30
is Isis one hand she holds the and in a
10:35
year of grain and the other hand she
10:37
holds for a reed as in now this is more
10:40
of a plant but that very doraville rod
10:42
of a wand is a system of measuring
10:45
length and grains can also be used as a
10:48
system of measuring weight the grain and
10:51
the wand or the rod or the Reed it's
10:55
also interesting to note that Virgo
10:57
directly above the scales of Libra where
11:01
her grain is nice linked to measure so
11:04
Libra another constellation Weaver
11:06
linked to weights and measures
11:09
medieval Libra all Virgo sorry that
11:11
should be equals got near fusion now
11:13
here in this of Virgo and Libra brought
11:16
together in its medieval depiction which
11:18
is a nice connection to weights and
11:20
measure systems of law written into law
11:22
the rule of law has in the ruler and the
11:25
scales of justice being seems because
11:28
going back to ancient times and even
11:30
still recent arguments over official
11:33
weights and measures very important
11:35
feature Aquarius is another
11:38
constellation which has these
11:40
connections for instance water carry
11:42
well in an fora field even with grain or
11:44
wine or oil there would be an official
11:48
standard and then so whether you're
11:50
doing trade or tax the same thing would
11:52
apply where you would have a
11:53
standardized system of weights and
11:55
measures or in any Empire they have
11:57
official standards and also he happens
12:00
to have normally look neela taker our
12:04
sacred ruler to measure flooding
12:06
buildings and roads Book of the Dead
12:10
spill 125 I have not added to the
12:13
measuring vessel of a measuring chord
12:14
I'm not cheated weights will you'll find
12:16
is seen for instance a little Leviticus
12:18
as well you shall have just balances
12:20
just wait so just air power for just him
12:22
I'm the Lord your God who brought you
12:25
out of a land of Egypt need a important
12:28
ow our proverbs a false balance is an
12:31
abomination tore to the Lord but a just
12:34
weight is his delight proverbs diverse
12:38
waits and diverts diverse measures are
12:40
both alike and abomination to the Lord
12:43
don't cheat it's very important how to
12:44
live to do trade morally to live a moral
12:48
life you need to be honest and whether
12:51
it's a trade tax temple tax whatever
12:57
official weights and measures and people
13:00
would you know don't get caught cheating
13:02
them a very strict penalties for this
13:05
type of thing not even two longer even
13:08
still now that not the death penalty
13:10
anymore for that stuff you shall not
13:12
have in your bag two kind of waits a
13:14
large and a small should not have in
13:16
your house two kinds of measures are
13:17
large and a small
13:18
a fallen just wait you shall have a full
13:21
and
13:21
just measure you shall have but your
13:23
days may be prolonged in the land which
13:26
the Lord gives you so for all who do
13:31
such things all who acted dishonestly
13:33
you are an abomination to the Lord don't
13:35
cheat we've these things and it's
13:37
embedded in this over magna carta famous
13:39
book famous development in the legal
13:42
system part 35 there shall be standard
13:47
measures of wine ale and corn throughout
13:50
the kingdom there shall be a standard
13:52
width of dyed cloth russet etc so now
13:55
I've that applied mainly to the nobility
13:57
but they petitioned the King because he
14:00
was always adjusting things and and and
14:02
he would charge tax and he would say I
14:04
know now a yard is this much now
14:05
overweight is this much and so they
14:09
forced him to bring in a official
14:11
standards and again these connections is
14:14
a law weights and measures are going
14:17
back to ancient times US Constitution
14:19
article 1 section 8 under the United
14:21
States Congress shall have the power to
14:23
coin money and regulate the value of or
14:26
a foreign coin and to fix standards of
14:29
weights and measures over law weights
14:31
and measures for modern time going back
14:34
to the beginning of recorded
14:36
civilization embedded in in books of law
14:40
in rituals in even astronomical
14:44
astrological symbols and it can't be
14:47
separated from these facets of it and it
14:52
can't be underestimated the importance
14:53
of it so both in and now weights and
14:56
measures very important thing have a
14:58
good one
