    "Five hundred doors, and forty eke, I think, are in Valhall, Eight hundred Einheriar will at once from each door go when they issue with the wolf to fight." (432,000)

    432,000 is an important mythological number known to many traditions-Joseph Campbell, the Power of Myth

    432,000 years in Kali Yuga

    In Babylon, a Chaldean priest, Berossos, 280 BC, rendered an account
    of the history and mythology of Babylonia, wherein it was told that between
    the time of the first city, Kish, and the coming of the Babylonian
    mythological flood, there elapsed 432,000 years, during which
    antediluvian era, ten kings reigned. Joseph Campbell, Inner Reaches of Outer Space

    The height and perimeter of the Great Pyramid are in a ratio of 43,200 to the radius and circumference of the Earth.(wolfspiritradio)

    the number of syllables in the Rigveda is 432,000 (newworldencyclopedia)

    The Sun's radius is 432,000 miles (aproximately, to .999%)

    A maha yuga is 4,320,000 years

      The suns radius is 695,842 km - nothing to do with 432,000.  But I'd bet that if you use the appropriate measurement system, and look hard enough, you can find a lot more relationships.  Try rods, maybe, or nautical miles.  Millimeters or light years.  Stones, kilograms and both metric and English tons.  Coulombs and volts.

      Have to be careful, though, especially with old terminology and mythology:
      a period of 12,000 years, comprising four Yugas.

      One Yuga is of 5 years. One Maha-Yuga is of 24 Yugas and thus 120 years.

        Sorry, Wilderness. You misunderstood it. LovetheRain mentioned it as 4,32,000 miles. Not in km. So, both figures are same. One mile is equal to 1.60 km, you must note it.
        Regarding yuga and Mahayuga there are many versions of it. You cannot argue it that way. We don't exactly know what the Vedas meant while measuring the time. Our measurements differ from the ancient measurement systems. Our one year might have been a month or even a single day for those people. You can't know it. So, nobody can argue that way.
