Mat claims Bimini and Great Harbour Cay hold a stone road or wall on a drowned Bahama island over 600 kilometers (372 miles) long, about as large as Ireland. Ancient surveyors, he argues, split the north into seven latitude bands, a pattern he also sees in a Babylonian ziggurat of seven stages. Egypt and older cultures used 22/7 for pi, he says, and from that fraction one can get arcs, radius, and the whole circuit by measuring between the bands. He accepts ordinary dates for the Avebury stones but thinks an earlier observatory stood on the four sevenths line, a place never lost under the sea. Delphi later took the role he gives Atlantis, set on a three sevenths line as a prime meridian and a school for watchers of the sky. He cites Howard Crowhurst, Richard Heath, and the Azores at the middle of Pangaea. Equinox sites were placed a little south, he says, so sunrise could clear an island, and he warns against making too much of a cubit found by dividing a circle into six.

Short quotes
Although, we do sometimes approximate Pi to 22/7, so that we can use it as a fraction.
