It's definitely interesting. Mathematicians used to be very secretive about their work. There's no telling how many discoveries were lost to history. I'd have to spend some time studying this to be sure it's legit. Assuming the presentation is accurate, I would expect this type of pattern to show up elsewhere. The first thing I would question would be the accuracy of the measurements, were they definitely going for the numbers shown, or were they just picking the closest significant numbers they could find?

For one, print wasn't that accurate. I only made it partway through before giving up. It was known, most likely, but never written as such and Euler's constant really gets the name because of his fame.

Yeah, just over three, that must be Pi. As far as the points being lined up by a Freemason or a member of some such group to form a hidden pattern, that sounds plausible.
