Gorsedd Circle

Gorsedd Circle The Gorsedd Circle is a stone circle in Fishguard, Wales. The Gorsedd Stones 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 Aberdare Park and Anglesey. They are typically 20 metres 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) Archeology7...

Parthenon, Athens Greece.

Parthenon Greece
CC BY 2.0



Parthenon is a former temple on the Athenian Acropolis, Greece, dedicated to the goddess Athena, whom the people of Athens considered their patron. Construction began in 447 BC when the Athenian Empire was at the peak of its power, it's construction is possibly connected with the island of Delos where congresses were held before being moved to Athens in 454 bc.


The Parthenon is aligned east/west 13° and north/south 10°, and this would have been 3.77° less when constructed.
Using measurements of length 74.67m and width 33.9m with height 18.99m for the Parthenon, the following are produced.

Base area 74.67×33.9=2532m²
CoG point 9.495m at 13.35° (9.73-9.495=23.5cms)
Volume 2532×18.99=48082m³ (48082÷3600=13.35 angle of CoG)
Side areas
Front 33.9×18.99=643m²
Side 74.67×18.99=1417m²
Degrees 7×360=2520°

Using these and applying them to seconds and degrees
Seconds in hour 3600
Volume÷angle to cog=3600
48082÷13.35=3600
Seconds in day 86400
all sides ÷ (base+½ pillars) × pillar height
(1417×643×2532)÷((2532+24)×10.4433)=86400
Seconds in week 604800
base area×239 (1° of rotation)=week 2532×239=604800
Seconds in the year 31557600
Circumference at location×1000 40075×cos(37.97°)×1000=31557600

Modern Copies
The only modern copy of a Parthenon that currently exists is in Centennial Park, Nashville. It was built for the Tennessee Centennial and Exposition in 1897. This is the only building preserved from the historic event, which is currently Nashville’s art museum and includes the 42-foot-tall statue of Athena Parthenos designed by Alan Le Quire in 1990.

Other connections include the modern mile. This is connected by a rotation, angle difference, and number of pillars. (360×44)÷3=5280 feet in mile
Also, angle difference × pillars on sides=24
Or 1 side+1 length
Or Total pillars ÷2 (16×2)+(8×2)÷2=24
Some of these numbers have been rounded up, the amount away from a precise number can be a small percentage, and others are almost exactly. It is possible that these define an acceptable use of degrees and minutes for angles of degrees, which might be connected to a distance and hour segments much like the modern right ascension and distance away. Any further connections could also be associated with this building. This would make it a focal point of discussion after business matters had been finished with. The CoG would be near to the statue of Athena in the Cella, and different statues, pillars, or building measurements could correlate to stellar objects. The errors could correlate to separation distances.




Parthenon (cont..)
Parthenon in Athens is also connected to Moon and, in turn, to their calendar. The height of the Parthenon is derived from the difference of a Sidereal and Synodic month, which equals '1' Sidereal Month
There are 13.37 Sidereal months in a year. This number then coincides with the 24° angle from a corner pillar along the base to the CoG. 365÷27.321661=13.3594 months/year
Synodic Month
There are 12.37 Synodic months in a year. 365÷29.530587981=12.36 months/year

Degree, minutes, seconds.
The use of degrees and seconds has been shown to derive from degrees, this suggesting deriving from the Babylonian base 60 measurement. From here, either it is hours which connect as modern-day right ascension measurements, which equals 15° or it is minutes for degrees, minutes, and seconds. The angle to the CoG is equivalent to Sidereal month length divided by days in a year (365), which equals 13.36° ( 28 and 30 day month is used with differences). The use of a 354-day year followed by a 377-day year would average at 365.5 days and in four years would allow for an extra day. The Romans Republican calendar at this time had a similar 355/378 day year, which totalled as 5 days longer per leap year and different from Romulus's calendar, which had random length months and 304 days.

Hours in day
Angle along base to CoG 24°
Hours in week
Hours in day × ½(actual pillars ÷ Ļ€)
24 × ½(44÷Ļ€)=168
Hours in month
Hours in week + pillar height × tilt=28 day month
(168+10.4433)×3.77=672
Or
Hours in week × CoG ÷ (ft×10) measure=30.42 day month
168×(13.35÷3.09)=728
Hours in year
(Hours in month ×52)÷°/minutes=365 day year (672×52)÷3.989=8760
Hours in month × CoG + pi=354 day year 672×(9.495+Ļ€)=8492
Hours in month 728×(9.495+Ļ€)-150=9048

With their length of year 354 days, it was possible to use both 12 months of 29.5 days and 13 months of 27.3 days, neither is exact, and they have included this in height.
The use of Ļ€ and CoG suggests a full rotation about a month and point, with the construction of the Parthenon could suggest they wanted to use a 52 week year inside of 365 day year giving an equal year for each and allowing for measurements that wouldn't alter. This would be the reason for dms with the right ascension.

Height
Height is derived from the following 0.828=2×(1-√2)
18.162=height from base
0.172=1-0.828
1-18.99=17.99
17.99-18.162=0.172
18.162÷13.35=1.36
0.172×57.296=9.854912
9.854912-9.495=0.36

Megalithic Cubit
The measurements connected to the Parthenon suggest the use of a megalithic cubit (0.45405, 2.202/m) and not a Greek cubit. With a megalithic cubit, there is a ratio, width in metres connects with megalithic cubit to give length, and length gives 164.453. This added to width gives 239 (seconds/°) divided gives 527, this divided by pillar height produces 40 (height in megalithic cubits).
33.903÷0.45405=74.67
74.67÷0.45405=164.453
18.162÷0.45405=40

(164.453+74.67)÷0.45405=527 527÷(10.4433+1.362+1.362)=40

The ancient Greek cubit, though, is 0.4623m. 0.4623-0.45405=0.00825m/0.8cms
Using 0.4623 (numbers in cubits) 18.162÷0.4623=39.286 (0.72 difference) 74.67÷0.4623=161.52 (2.93)
33.9÷0.4623=73.33 (1.34)



Parthenon (cont...)
With the use of a number '1', it is possible it forms a Quadratic Polynomial. A number similar to angle of rotation 3.786 rather than 3.77, this then equates to 28 cms at 1km. It also produces a date of 458 bc or year length.
Polynomial
1−18.99−18.99²=3.786
Quadratics should equal nought and factorizing are positive, but in this, it starts negative.

Polynomial
1−18.99−18.99²=3.786101
18.99²-18.99-1
=1+√(285i)÷2
=1-√(285i)÷2

Quadratic
x²-x-1=0
=(1+-√5)÷2
roots=1.618 and 1÷(-1.618)

Factorizing x²-x-1
24.35+13.63=37.98
24.35×13.63=332
360-332=28

It is possible there is a connection with the golden ratio and +/- but also a direct conversion, so connecting hours in day to 1.36.

From the quadratic the roots 0.0527 and 1.0527, vertex equals 0.5, -5.5 with y intersect at -1, these then could be considered as being applied on the Parthenon with measurements for,

Pediment 4.995m
√(285)÷(10.4433÷3.08)=4.98

Pillar 10.4433m
√(285)÷1.618=10.43

Frieze and architrave 1.362m
√(285)÷(1-13.36)=1.365

Also, these measurements can just be derived from the megalithic cubic with an equation that connects. There is also a sign that the radian is also included, but a megalithic cubic is the exact measurement.

0.45405×11=4.995
0.45405×23=10.4432
0.45405×3=1.362

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?
