Speedy deletion nomination of Pendulum in orbital motion

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Pendulum in orbital motion requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Help me!

In the article ancient mesopotanian measures the linear dimensions of the cubit is given at 497 mm which I have indipendently verified. The length of the step or seed cubit is shown as 1.000 meters and is the side screen at 0.999 mm with the foot ar 333 mm. This seems more exact. for example if these distance measures are derived from calculations from segments of the polar circumference of the earth in the vicinity of babylon the length of a seed cubit should be about 998 or 998.8 mm. if the foot were rounded to 30,000,000 for the distance form the pole to the equator a value of 332.8 mm would seem about right. in any case the value of 1.000 mm seems contrived. Can you explain how it was derived ?

Earth according to WGS 84   ( every degree of latitude)

Help me!

 In your section on Sumerian measurements   linear  measures and distance measures  are shown to differ.

1 In the length table the cubit is clearly marked with a value of 497 mm. This value can be verified using the weight of a double mina weighing 978.3 grams which can be found in the British museum ( Berriman 1955) water at 25 dec C would yield a Sila of 978.3 ml and a seed cubit of 993.7 mm this value is almost the Pendulum meter proposed by Borda and Cassini in 1792 and has led me to discover a number of ancient measures which fit pendulums derived from either the gesh of 1/360 solar day or a similar period of time generated by the stars or the planet Venus

2 under the distance table you state Distance units were geodetic as distinguished from non-geodetic basic length units. Sumerian geodesy divided latitude into seven zones between equator and pole.

You provide no explanation as to how these measures were arrived at. It is easy to see how a 994 mm meter could be used to measure the circumference of the earth then stretched to fit the earth. However the results were not close to the division of the earth into 360 degrees then into the logical further division by 60 (a geodetic arc minute or nautical mile ) or by 360 (a geodetic cable) or by 3600 ( a geodetic arc second)

HOW DO YOU UNDERSTAND HOW THESE GEODETIC MEASURES WERE DEVELOPED ?
