The bass and Jaymar are backwards. The interview is with a pyramid researcher.
lyrics
... the middle pyramid, I know why it's there, I know its longitude, its latitude, I know its dimensions, but... they don't make any sense. So there has to be other aspects of math, it could be a new dimension, it could be... I don't know. Not close enough to it to identify it yet. [But through your system of: let's throw every- all your assumptions out and start over and try to see through the eye...] right [...of the pyramid builders...] right [...yeah, that's an intriguing thought. What- where did that idea come up to you?] After I found all their missing constants. I thought I found about ten of them, and, um, they all work, but they're things we've never heard of, we don't use them. [Do you think that, obviously they knew base 10, you make that point in the video] Oh yeah! [...but they were also using base 3, base 12, base 60...] sure! [I mean they were very versant, they used whatever base made sense. Do you think that those constants would be more easily recognized if we weren't just in base 10, or base 2 in computer. I mean if we... if you put them in another base would they be more ordinary, and just make more sense?] Most likely... [Most likely?] I have no doubt about it. There are different sides to this matrix- the ones I just mentioned. Emerald and, um, Stonehenge and Quetzalcoatl, -these pyramids you can look at, and find the numbers, and determine just by looking at them, and integrate pi into the formula to get your answer. So there's a pi side of this thing, there's a visual side, there's another side requiring the use of the radian, and uh... [You said a radian?] They each have to have a message. [And so, you're still busy at work?] Oh yes!
Holy Toledo!!!
