The number 72 is linked to the Earth's precession of the equinoxes, where the Earth's axis wobbles at a rate of 1 degree every 72 years. Also the number is a large factoring component in Divine Geometry.
The scale factor of the pyramids is 600 x 72.
In Jewish mysticism, the 72-letter name of God represents the ultimate creative and redemptive power of the universe
Jesus sent out 72 disciples (recorded in Luke 10:1-12) to prepare towns for his arrival, heal the sick, and spread the message that the kingdom of God was near.
Esotericism: In Western occultism and Freemasonry, the number 72 acts as a bridge between the material realm and the divine, often represented geometrically by the compass set to 72 degrees.
Because it is easily divisible by many numbers (including 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, and 36), 72 was revered by ancient mathematicians as a highly versatile and "perfect" foundation for building calendars and spiritual systems.
1 degree is a unit of angle that was invented relatively recently, with invention of trigonometly with all that sin(), cos(), tg() stuff. In the distant past, people measured and accounted angles as elevation/offset on some length/distance. Like 1 inch per foot. It was much more practical and obvious for them. So, this "1 degree in 72 years" hardly could come to someone head at the time when all that babylonian things happened. Angle unit in itself was useless for them without trigonometric functions. It's today we could use angle to find out lengths, heights and widths of trinalge and other shapes using calculator, but babylonians hardly know what f.e. sin() is.
This theory that babylonians could assume that there are approx 360 days in a year and so circle could be divided into 360 sectors with 1 modern degree angle, ruins myth about high precision of ancient measurements. If babylonians couldn't properly measure duration of a year in days as 365, then there can't be talks about some precise ratios they probably knew, and 72 will be just 70 for them.
Not agruing against other number "72" history, you wrote, but exactly this case is highly doubtful.
My theory is much simpler and much more boring. "72" is not something mistique. "72" is just a half dozen of dozens. Many tribes used 12-based scale of notation at the time, so 72 is a "round" number in 12 base. It was just a "round" number for them. Exactly like number "50" for us, who use 10 base now. So, there are no any magic that 72 appear often in ancient texts and ratios. Just a "round" number of the time, same as "50" now.
Actually, they knew math so well that they knew 360 would work in most cases and was easier to work with than say 365.2425 or something. The Bible indicates that God sets the irrational numbers precisely so that different similarities would be close enough to work with but still imperfect.
For instance, Book of Enoch points out that 360 is prevailing but 364 is closer and has more advantages and still can be worked with in the same general way.
Absolutely 72 was used as a round number due to these synchronies; which is why 360 or 2.5 gross was also used as a round number. It's probable that after generations the approximation 72*360=25920 would've been guessed (actual currently 25771.57534, which varies based on measurement specs and adjustment over time). The Bible also says Solomon built the temple laver just fine even though he used 3 as an approximation for pi.
You are right that many of these supposed connections are excrement. But often by reverting to your correct perspective about round numbers the actual math of the day can be recovered and the original claim somewhat vindicated even though it's expressed in different terms. This week I learned that Euclid discovered a working version of the law of cosines without ever inventing a cosine.
Moon calendar vs sun calendar. Discuss
See Book of Enoch again. Both are designed to round to 360 in months of 30. But the deficiency of about 11 days is designed to round to 1/3, 2/5, or 3/8 of a month per year (note anticipation of Fibonacci), with the out-of-phase cycle requiring people not to speak rashly but to recognize layering in the revelation.
The moon is also designed to round to 4 weeks and thus festivals are placed at the 4 quarters of the lunar cycle (weekly). This approximates Sabbath (though Sabbath is an inviolate weekly cycle and thus different from both). The 1/3 cycle is then reflected in tying feasts to the 10th of the month as well. In the pentecontad calendar, the 20th of the month was a festival for being the 50th of the previous month. People liked approximations and simple fractions that didn't have to be exact back then.
