A quick look at that website and I find:
Quote (website)
It takes 27.322 days for the Moon to fully orbit the Earth. That means that 366 orbits of the Moon around the Earth take an absolutely even 10,000 days!

27.322 * 366 = 9999.852 ≠10,000
math fail

to be fair, the number 10,000 wasn't an key part of this theory

but, that is dishonest representation of data and takes away a lot of its credibility

i gave the diameter to prove that it rotates 400km a day?
400km is a measure of displacement or length. Rotation is not displacement.

Actually I have no idea what your trying to say. I can't tell if your talking about the rate at which the moon rotates on its axis, or the rate at which the moon rotates around the Earth (everytime I start to think the latter, you end up giving us the diameter of the moon, making me think you are discussing the former). The only rotation rate you have given is 1/27.322 revolutions/day which is the rate the moon rotates around the Earth. How that is evidence for the moon being artificial, I do not know.

are you trying to say anything?
or isn't it rather regurgitating pseudo-crap?
the authors you quote above are well know for pseudo-archeology, pseudo-history, pseudo-science
as per the scientific qualifications:

Chris Knight has over thirty years experience in marketing and advertising in consumer goods and business to business.
Alan Butler is 58 years of age and has been a professional writer for the last twenty-five years. Having written since childhood Alan first made his way in the world as an engineer, a background he insists has been of tremendous use to him in his writing career.


/note not providing a link because i do not want to have the mind of other feeble-minded persons spoilt by their rubbish :D

the moon is exactly 1/400th of the size of the sun

FALSE
Playing with the numbers I'll assume by size you mean radius, instead of volume:
radius of sun ≈ 6.96342×10^5 km
radius of moon ≈ 1,738.14 km
(radius sun)/(radius moon) ≈ 400.6248
I gave you the benefit of the doubt and choose values that get you as close to 400 as possible, and still didn't make it

and its orbit occurs at a distance of exactly 1/400th the distance between the earth and the sun.

FALSE
For starters, the distance between the Earth and Sun, and the Moon and Earth, vary. But let's take the average distance:

Average distance from Earth to Sun ≈ 149,600,000 km
Average distance from Moon to Earth ≈ 384,400 km
(Average distance from Earth to Sun)/(Average distance from Moon to Earth) ≈ 389.1779

If you mean by this: the arc length traveled by a point on the Moon's equator per day, do to the moon rotation on its axis:
FALSE

Circumference of Moon ≈ 1,738.14 * 2 * pi km ≈ 10,921.0557 km
Rotation rate of moon ≈ 1/27.322 rev/day
Circumference of Moon * Rotations per day ≈ 399.7166

which is equal to exactly 1% of the speed of rotation of the Earth
FALSE
Circumference of Earth ≈ 40,075 km
Rotation rate of Earth ≈ 1 rev/day
Circumference of Earth * Rotation rate of Earth * 0.01 ≈ 400.75

A piece of advice, if your looking for a conspiracy theory to believe in: Choose one that does not involve numbers. They are WAY too easy to destroy.

the moon is exactly 1/400th of the size of the sun
its orbit is 1/400th the distance
the earth is 3.66 times the size of the moon, and takes 366 days to orbit the sun
the moon takes 10,000 days to complete 366 orbits

thanks for the information. ignore these trolls who don't know basic math.
