Just responding to your following message, there are a few others here (at least me, and perhaps Ray Tomes as well) who would have an interest in Pythagoras. I really want to stress that I don't think your exploration is a bad idea. If things turn out to have patterns, it's an interesting discovery. I just think that you have to be careful to be dispassionate about things like this. If you look for patterns, it is easy to find them. I think we need to be merciless in trying to disprove such patterns, and only recognize them if they are strong enough to stand out even if we try to disprove them. Finding patterns is very easy for humans; we all know this from looking at a marble wall and seeing faces in it. To me, simply showing a rough resemblance between Rome and the US is not enough; they are too different. If you can show a fluctuation in global population, for example, with peaks at 2,148 years, that to me would be a fascinating discovery.
