proportions of the Tablets of
the Law containing the Pythagorean
numbers, as did their box,
the Ark of the Covenant.9) § 4. Of course, Pythagoras
might have gotten his theorem somewhere else, if
it were not for his other teachings,
which make him look like a
man of weird idiosyncrasies.10) However,
the bond which ties his
various theories together is
the fact that they all refer to the
Tablets of the Law in the
Holy of Holies of the
First Temple in Jerusalem, such as the
holiness of the ten spheres (Decalogue),
the Tetraktys (Tetragrammaton), and the
so-called Pythagorean numbers 3, 4, and 5

9) This point was emphasized by Prof. Dr. Johann
Knobloch in his foreword to
Discovering Mosaistics (N. 1) pp. 9 and
11; see Ed Metzler, ibid.
pp. 77 and 135: Each
tablet is 1 by 1.5
cubits (below p. 21), and
consists of 150 squares of
0.1 cubit, which is also
the thickness of the
tablets, yielding 150 cubic
letter-units. As a new source
in the history of mathematics, my
reconstruction antedates the Babylonian
clay tablet Plimpton 322, cf.
Ed Metzler, ibid. p. 27 Note 26,
and p. 28 Note 30.

31 calls him "a combination of
Einstein and Mrs. Eddy",
the founder of Christian Science,
and speaks of
his "very curious
psychology". Similarly,
Kabbalah appeared to be an
incoherent bunch of topics,
until I discovered that it
is a mystification of
the various graphical details
of the Mosaical Tablets of the
Law, cf. Ed Metzler, Discovering Mosaistics
(N. 1) pp. 152 and 153 Note 53.
