And add your 2,147 years and you get something like 1587. Ahah. Martin Luther... Nope. He was 1450. Hmm. OK. Calvin was alive in 1587. So we have Buddha-Calvin. Nice connection. I think that if you give me anybody in history, I can find somebody alive 2147 years later who is related in some way.

At this stage I would prefer to set aside the claims about individuals for the reason you outline. Looking again at the main patterns of history with broadly rounded numbers, we have
Discovery: (750-650BC = 1400-1500AD)
• Establishment of Rome = European discovery of the Americas
Consolidation: 650-350BC = 1500-1800AD
• Building institutions of Roman Republic and conquest of immediate region = same process for USA (with main results at end of phase for both)
Expansion 350-250BC = 1800-1900
• Conquest of Italy = steady westward expansion of USA
Conflict: 250-200BC = 1900-1950AD
• Defensive Wars against Carthage (for domination of known world) = Defensive World Wars against Germany
‘Cold War’: 200-160BC = 1950-1990
• Hostility to Carthage and Greece = Hostility to USSR
Attack: 160-142BC = 1990-2008
• Destruction of Carthage and Corinth = Iraq War
Now I know that this schema is subject to nitpicking, but it is still broadly accurate, corroborating my thesis that precessional ages are real cosmic entities.
It also presents an interesting model for predicting the future. For example, we are still well inside the Republican phase, suggesting that descriptions of the USA as imperialist are more likely to be realised over the next few hundred years. Of course there is also the interesting take on eschatology, as noted by hhEb09'1 with his comment on 2147 = 0

No, the Bible Code comparison is not valid. Like Hoagland’s Martian imagination, it uses an utterly tendentious and forced method, whereas the correlations I am claiming simply line up major events of world history to corroborate a scientific (ie not religious) theory of the structure of time. I am happy to strip away the oodles (eg Plato=Kant) to produce a simple broad historical correspondence.

My argument suggests that Rome and America were the ‘bow waves’ of human evolution in their respective ages, so they naturally exhibited an underlying ‘character’ of their ages in broadly similar ways. If the 2147 year long age is real you would not be able to substitute a random number and get similar correlations. This is about how our planet relates to the cosmos, through precession as a deep wave with significant causal power.
In my last post I observed the remarkable correlation between precession and the rhythm of the solar system barycenter. This apparent entrainment between the precession of the equinox and the wave form of the centre of the solar system opens up a very interesting approach to the solar system as a unified functional structure.
(and hey, I’m thinking again about Buddha and Calvin…)
