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...

Pantheon

Pantheon

Pantheon in Rome, Italy, is thought to have been commissioned by Marcus Agrippa during the reign of Augustus but was completed by the emperor Hadrian. Various additions were added from the original construction in 27 bc, but it is said to have burned down at least once, with further restoration work in the 20th century, including a metal reinforced roof.

Coordinates
41.898611, 12.476813

It can be said that the surface area of a sphere has the same surface area of a cylinder with the same radius.
The surface of the cylinder can be said to be at a ratio of 3:2 of that of a sphere along with its volume.
If the Pantheon is in the volume of a sphere, then its floor area would be the cross section of a sphere or one side of a cylinder (1526m²).

Facade
Width 116.74×30.48=35.58m
Side 47.78×30.48=14.56m
Area 518.2m²

Pantheon
Surface Area 4πr²
Sphere 4×π×22.04²=6104m²
Cylinder 9156-3052=6104m²

Roman Units
The Roman cubit (cubitum) was 1½ Roman feet (17.48 inches)
Five Roman feet made the pace (passus), 1.48 metres (58.23 inches).

With a diameter measured at 44.08m, then the following are produced.
=99.28 cubits
=148.92 ft
=29.78 pace

Conversion from metres to feet/cubitums for area/volume.
Cubitum 2.252/11.425
Foot 3.378/38.56


Pantheon
Volume 4/3πr³
Sphere 44845.97m
Cylinder 67268.95m
44845.97÷67268.95=0.666


The alternative diameter of 43.30m produces the following measurements for area and volume but notably doesn't alter the ratios.
Using 43.30m
Area 1472m²
Volume 42507m³



Conclusion
If there is a construction connection with the pyramids, then it could be connected with a ratio or a cubit. This could be possible as the construction was not far off after taking control of Egypt with a connection to Julius Caesar, buildings could have been influenced by events during their construction along with methods and measurements.

The facade of the Pantheon has an area of 518m². This is the alternative error ratio of the pyramids at Giza.
With the ratio of area/volume connected to the sphere/cylinder, it can be said to be as
1÷(φ+0.05) or 3/2
and the floor area at 1526m² as
((1+cubit)+0.003)×1000
This uses the golden ratio and separation angle for volume and a cubit and queen's chamber error in the floor area.
The shorter diameter of 43.30m interesting has an error of 0.05 from a cubit.
((1+cubit)-0.05)×1000

From the entrance of the Queen's chamber in Khufu's pyramid, a 2 by 3.28 cubit measurement is made. If this width/height difference is nearer the √φ then the two ratios are 0.05 out (equal to pyramid separation distance). If the measurement is correct, then it could be 3.2808, which as a number is 1/100 of 100m in feet, although it doesn't adjust the ratio by very much.

In metres, it appears as
(1.72÷1.046)=1.644 (φ+0.03)
Or roughly
(2+√φ)÷2
this, though, uses some numbers from both and leaves 10.46 (20 cubits).


Alternatively, considering when it was built (27 bc) until 1985 equates to 2012 years, this converted into an angle is very nearly π.
For it to be π then it would have to have been built in 42 bc, as it stands, it is 0.02 away.
Considering the shape and the uniqueness of its build connecting it with π and Romulus could have been a possibility along with Julius Caesar's death, which might have postponed it for another event.


Also, with most Roman buildings, there wasn't any alignment north/south or east/west, and buildings were built leading away from temples and important buildings. As the Pantheon is considered quite important it marked an important event (like victory over Greece and Egypt) but if it were even more important it might have been connected to Romulus (the founder of Rome) and as such it's importance might never be fully understood.

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."

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?
