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...

Possible Neolithic Stone Circle

In Neolithic times, it was normal to erect various stones, which would have meanings for altitude, location, or points of interest. As it approached towards the Bronze Age, a common building structure would be that of a circle. These would have astrological, astronomical, and mathematical connections.

Because of the size and weight of these structures, they would require a large group of people who wanted to spend time erecting them. These circles and structures were rarely copied, with each having a different meaning, although with a common theme, they could include similar numbers but positioned differently.


Along these lines, a possible Neolithic structure could appear as the following.

The measurements are connected to gravity, obliquity, escape velocity, and 10.
The 10 gives a multiplcation of that factor with the other numbers measured in metres and scaled appropriately.
9.81 m/s gravity
11426 m/s escape velocity

These measurements are then included in the monument via a triangle. For example, escape velocity at 11.4kms is divided by 1000 to give an angle of 11.42° with a side length 10m at 90°. The opposite side would be 2.02m.
The other side would be 9.81m long ending in an angle of 8.656° in a triangle of 90° would give a side of 1.22m.

Escape velocity 11.4kms
=11426.3424m/s
11426.3424÷1000
= 11.42° at 10m = 2.02m

Because 1.22 is very near to obliquity, then obliquity is included and gives an angle of 8.656° from the number of years from peak obliquity. Obliquity is equal to 0.0001170731°.

Peak obliquity 6642 bc
= 8.656° at 9.81m = 1.22m
6642+1985=8672 (1623 until mid point)
(8656 for 1969)


Because a scaling factor is required, this can be from a ring of stones around the outside. These would align from an angle of 25° (at maximum tilt) with a, 1 stone = 0 and 2 stones = 1.

1000 =11111000
and
³√1000
=10

The angle of 25° is used as 385000kms is the distance to the moon, which is divided by 1000 equalling 385 and 25° is 385-360°. This number would also go into height and possibly average width of radius from main stone.
This would make it 7.62m high and 15.24m wide.

The volume and weight of an object this size would be.
16 sqm² base
16×7.62 height
121.93 cubic m³
121.93×2.5=305 metric tons

A weight of 2.5 tonnes/m³ is for the average weight of sandstone with all measurements in metres.
As a comparison, the capstone on Gravinis is about 120 metric tons at 11m long (6:1 ratio).

Bryn Celli Ddu Chambered Tomb

Bryn Celli Ddu Chamber Tomb Bryn Celli Ddu Chambered Tomb is considered a pre historic tomb with some stone carvings. There are also a number of Neolithic stones scattered around the tomb, which are located on the Isle of Anglesey. Br yn Celli Ddu me ans "the mound in the dark grove." The tomb was archaeologically excavated in the 1920s.

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?
