Use of the Indian Circle procedure was not restricted to early India; Vitruvius describes a Roman tradition with Greek precedents, and scholars have considered its use in Old Kingdom Egypt for aligning the Great Pyramids or associated structures.
“The use of such a procedure was hardly restricted to early India: in addition to modern applications, there is the description from Vitruvius (fl .70-15 bce) of a Roman tradition with Greek precedents, for example, while several scholars have considered the possibility that such a technique was used in Old Kingdom Egypt for alignment of the Great Pyramids or associated structures .12”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
