The "Base 60" drawings are clearly in Base 10. When you get to 10, you don't have 10 trees, you have 1 bow. Every time you get to a multiple of 10, you add a bow. That is explicitly demonstrating base 10.
The precession does not take exactly 25,920 years. It takes 25,920 years, give or take 5 years. Not to mention, he doesn't specify which length year he is using: solar? lunar? calendar? Likewise, the moon isn't exactly 2160 miles in diameter. And even if it was, the time of a second is arbitrary. The length of a mile is arbitrary. That there are 360 degrees in a rotation is arbitrary (and based on the incorrect length of year).
As to the 440 / 432 thing, Cymatics shows that there is actually at least something to it. No, I don't subscribe to any particular conspiracy theory... Sound waves do have a clear interaction with physical matter. This interaction with matter is more well-ordered at 432 than 440. It may mean something, it may not. Whether 432/440 actually matters in any substantive way is not really provable, I don't think...
Unless you change the size of the plate such that 440Hz is a resonant frequency. In that case, 440Hz will show interesting patterns, and 432Hz will look like noise.

Crop Circles are totally created by secret sonic weapons though. If only we would have figured this out by 12/21/2012 maybe we could have ascended to a higher plane. One where bass players are revered as the gods / goddesses that we are.
