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...

Devil's Quoits

Devil's Quoits


The Devil's Quoits is a stone circle in Oxfordshire similiar to Castlerigg in Cumbria, which was restored in 2002 from being used as an airfield during WWII. It is thought to be Neolithic, and a complete plan was discovered during the excavation of the site.

The site was levelled in 1940 for the war effort. Excavations in 1973 and 1988 located a complete plan with most restored. Of the 36 stones thought to have been there originally 29 remain, one of which is a marker.
Devil's Quoits is a major class II circle henge and ditch up to 120 metres wide with the stone circle 79 metres, the marker points towards the southeast.

As with other stone circles, the stones align, giving a sequence of 0's and 1's. These can also be 1's and 2's.
The marker at 58° defines the limit to measure. Again, 11 is considered as √ or 11, and 1111 or 111 is considered as ³√.

Considering both until the sequence is defined, the following is produced.
(This is because it is not obvious what the angles are)

Primers
1--11 X 1-1-

Dashes as 0, 1 as 1/10/100 and equates to 100+2 × 20=2040.
These are also split as a 20° and 40° angle. Using these, the following is produced.


Clockwise 20°
(1,1,1,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,1,1)
1,2,1,1,1,2,2,1,1,1,2,X
=12×(³√22)×(³√2)
=42.3642

Clockwise 40°
(1,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0)
2,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,1,1,X
=2×(³√2222)×(√1)
=26.0982


The X is then replaced with the 58° number clockwise (8.5631) and multiplied together.
42.3642×8.5631=362.769
26.0982×8.5631=223.482
The 42 and 26 numbers by themselves produce 360 and 223.


Clockwise 60°
(0,1,0,1,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,X)

Clockwise 58°
1,1,2,1,1,1,1,2,2,2
=(√2)×(³√222)=8.5631

As a year, the number 8.5631 is equal to 3540 bc.
(The 11,11 as just ³√)



Anti clockwise 20°
1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,
1×(³√2222222)=130.4956

This is possibly eleven times, divided by radians (57.296), which equals 88.955, which is 0.30829° from the current Polaris coordinates. It is far too small a number to be tilt so must be considered as obliquity.
(From anti-clockwise above)
11׳√2222222=1435.45
1435.45×57.296=88.9558
89.2641-88.9558=0.3082
0.3082÷1.2=0.2569
0.2569×10250=2633


Anti-clockwise 40°
0,2,1,2,1,1,1,2,2,1,2,2,2,X
0212׳√221222
=12821.6908
12821.6908×2=25643.3816
25643.3816-25772=128.6184

Also, interpreting the marker can lead to two different numbers.
2212׳√221222=133781.04
133781.04÷57.296=2335


Using the 60° gives a primer marker where the numbers produced are split into rows of eight numbers.
1-100-(8×0)
It also shows that the rows repeat from 60° and no longer follow 20° or 40°, the eight noughts indicate a grouping of eight.
Like a code, the above numbers are split in groups of 8, which leaves the answer (0,2,1,2).
2040×212=432480
=5 days 8 minutes
This, in turn, is the angle 58° (angle used) and is the angle that aligns the marker stone from outside.


Multiplying 20° and 40°
42.3642×26.0982=1105.6308

From 58°
=(√2)×(³√222)=8.5631

Adding these two together ÷ 10
1105.6308+8.5631=1114.194
1114.194÷10=111.4194

Circumference at equator per degree
40075÷360=111.3194
111.3194-111.4193=0.1


Logs of the 20°/40°
1,2,1,1,1,2,2,1,1,1,2,X
12111 log 1112
Log (12111÷1112)=1.037
2,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,1,1,X
2111 log 2211
Log (2111÷2211)=-0.02



Conclusion
Devil's Quoits is comparable to other monuments, notably Nunwick Henge, Hutton Conyers Henge, and Cana Henge all by the River Ure.
The diameter for Hutton Conyers Henge is 97/100m and exterior 200/210m. These in feet equal 9.67, and the number from Devil's Quoits equals 9.62.

A number of possibilities exists in regards to the 58° number (8.5631) as a measure for the outside stone and the centre of the circle. An angle of 67° better fits towards the centre and also aligns onto a stone on the far side but this is also 9° more and is very near to the 58° number plus 8.5631, also the number 0212 multiplied by 2040 (the two angles used, 2040×212=432480), is equal to 5 days 8 minutes in minutes. This can be considered another primer. The use of putting two numbers together also appears after putting the numbers in a column of eight and reading the end two columns.
This time, splitting the number into two as 334 and 223.
212111+122112=334223
334-223=111
This produces a primer from another stone circle about the time 2633-2335 bc (the 2335 is considered as the alternative possiblitity anti-clockwise).
The initial date of 3540 bc after the other numbers are included shows that it is most probably incorrect along with the 128/130 numbers. This could be from reinstalling the stones. As there is a connection with the Devil's Arrows with the site dated from 2633-2335 bc, it is possible that a stone was removed and another possible marker that suggested a start point for measurement.
This site connects to Devil's Arrows and Gravinis via a triangle of area, and only the location is important to achieve a connection between the three.

The 2633 number is considered as connected to Polaris inclination at maximum tilt and the 2335 number as maximum tilt duration.
The 58° is also connected to °/km at the equator along with the 20° and 40°.

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?
