Gorsedd Circle

Gorsedd Circle The Gorsedd Cir cle is a stone circle in Fishguard, Wa les. T he Gorsedd Stone s are a Welsh tradition of modern stone circles constructed for the National Eisteddfod of Wales. These stone circles can be found at several locations, including Ab erdare Park and A nglesey. They are typically 20 meters wide and have 12 stones on the circumference with a level stone in the circle. A further stone is usually set back from the circumference, the central stone is called the Logan Stone. Coordinates 51.996431,-4.975040 Stone Circle  Gorsedd Circle is a typical stone circle but has 13 stones on the circumference with one inset. It was erected in 1936 and has the names of the parishes inscribed on each stone. Ceremony  During the opening ceremony, the Archdruid stands on the Logan Stone facing the Stone of the Covenant. Two stones mark the entrance and are called the Portal Stones. These mar k the midsummer and midwinter sunrises. Gorsedd Circle  (no edit) Archeology77 ©

Kakku Pagoda

Mwe Taw Kakku Pagoda was founded by the Buddhist missionaries of the Indian emperor Ashoka, in the 3rd century bc. There is a similarity of style from the newer and older Pagodas from other sites. Two white pagodas are much larger than the others, with a third outside of the complex known as Shwesandaw Pagoda. They most probably are representative and symbolic of events that occurred. This could have been the Pagan Dynasty unifying Burma in the 17 and 18th centuries with the establishment of the Pagan Kingdom in 11/12th century.

Most pagodas at Kakku were built in the 17th and 18th century, the shape of the site and the largest pagoda were built in the 12th century during the reign of Alaungsithu, King of Bagan. The 2478 pagodas are said to take the shape of 'Buddha’s footprint'. The site has a cross shape at 8.5° with the horizon, 10° with vertical, and an internal cross at 4.5°, dating to 1200. By the shape formed and date, the difference in angle is 1.22° (or accurately 1.217° or 785 years) and the 4° difference of the two cross shapes suggesting 595. The larger of the crosses is 256m with the smaller at 82m, a ratio of 3.122:1, the larger is split 0.46:1 to 0.53:1 across the length (although the smaller extends another 60m towards the river). These numbers suggest obliquity and tilt as a connection (roughly) 1.5° north and 1.22° tilt difference.

The numbers also suggest a 0.05° and 0.02° error offset. This could suggest 10°+1.5°+0.05° north and 8.5°+1.22-0.02° east. 11.55° North 9.70° east. A gnomon of 1km and a difference of angle of 0.05° would equate to 0.873m difference, and an angle of 0.02° would equate to 0.349m.

Is there an astrological connection? In the constellation Cetus there is a star Zeta Ceti, a 25 solar radii sun at a distance of 235ly with a drift of -0.0103°/1000 years also θ Ceti an orange 10 solar radii sun at a distance of 113ly, with a drift of -0.0573694°/1000 years. 785 years equating to 1.21675°. The constellation itself spans between +10° / -10° about the equator.

Shwesandaw Pagoda is a Buddhist pagoda located in Bagan, Burma, alongside Kakku Pagodas. It was built just after the Law Ka Ou Shaung buildings in 1057. Both Shwesandaw Pagoda and Law Ka Ou Shaung were built from brick, but Shwesandaw Pagoda is part plaster. This would have been painted alternating white/red, giving it a much brighter appearance. It has a height of 328’ but could not include the ‘hti’ so-called stone, which was dislodged by an earthquake in 1975. Aligned at 20° currently and 21.4384° when built.

Assuming that the number was made up of max tilt and obliquity, the rest would be 0.235, which could be tilt at 23.5° or 235s of a sidereal day (20, 1.2, 0.235). The ratio of numbers from the Kakku Pagodas gives a valve of 1.2, a number that can be multiplied by the height of Shwesandaw Pagoda giving a value of 120 but according to the build date it would have linked with the earlier buildings but using the 0.235 multiplied by 100 gives a valve of 23.5. This then would be tilt, max tilt, and obliquity.

The error from these numbers is 0.003. A few years either way could reduce this further and could suggest its purpose. Although still symbolic in structure and style, the alignment hints at its date of completion.

Bachwen Dolmen

Bachwen Dolmen The Bachwen Dolmen burial chamber is located near Clynnog-fawr, Caernarfon, Wales. A number of cupmarks exist on the monument, it is notably wedge shaped and with this points out to sea at an angle of 28° towards the northwest. The support stones support this wedge on the sides so are also at 28°, the elevation is 24m. Coordinates 53.018891,-4.375356 Possibilities  There are three possible explanations for this chamber, (1) it is angled so as to align with the Major standstill or (2) it aligns with tilt and angle away for date or (3) two numbers are used and connects with a date. (1) The Major standstill is currently 28.725°, for it to be this, there must be a further stone to give Minor standstill, difference in between or 0.725° as it isn't measurable to that accuracy. (2) More likely it is maximum tilt 20° and 8° tilt for that year. 8÷1.55=5.1613 5.1613×1000=5161.3 5161.3-1985=3176.3 bc 8° equates as 3176 bc. (3) The only numbers used are 28 and 24, from

Queen's Chamber 

Queen's Chamber Queen's Chamber Khufu's pyramid is below the King's chamber and is of a similar size and shape but with the difference that it includes a niche. The chamber is constructed of smaller blocks with the walls made up of six blocks high, and the niche is formed from a gap of these six block layers. The gap starts at three cubits wide and reduces to one cubit with an angle of 12°. It has been stated that Khufu's chamber sarcophagus which measures 0.987m high, 1.051m wide and 2.276m long and with a volume of 16.5 cubits³ or 2.36m³ is connected by volume to a circle, 2 cubits and the golden ratio but what is the Queen's Chamber connected to?
