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...

Meini Gwyr is a monument in Wales.
It is in the shape of a circle with a width of between 20-22m.

Coordinates 51.906812,-4.703010

Grimes in 1938 measured the monument at 36.6m in diameter, and excavations showed that there was a narrow entrance to the west with no ditch surrounding the site, just a raised embankment. 
Two standing stones remind from a possible 17, one 1m and 1.7m high, respectively, standing 6.5m apart. 
Whether this was originally an entire circle can only be guessed at, excavations show locations of stones with an entrance directly opposite the sloping stone at just over 36°. 
The reason for not necessarily having an entire circle is that the two stones, although marked towards sunrise, depict the moon in two different phase locations. The upright represents a 'waxing gibbous' phase with the sloping a 'waning gibbous' (carved so as to appear the shape). 
This monument is associated with the number 6455 and is used as days and years (a similarity to 4655 from Gravinis, and might have been interpreted as this). 
The use of 6455 as a number of days is 17.7 years, which is 0.9268, which is a difference off 18.6 years, a moon's cycle. 
0.926 is a number connected with a 1km gnomon.

6455÷365.2425=17.673−18.6
17.673−18.6=0.9268 
The size of the circle could mean a year at 36.6m, and height difference could mean obliquity, not needing a circle but a necessary measure for year. 
Obliquity × years = height difference 
0.0001170731×6455=0.7557

Although this varies it by 476 years from just 0.7, a difference of 5.57cms in height measurement.
Possibly, it hadn't existed, and sediment increase being 1 foot/10000 years roughly could have reduced this along with the attraction of site decreasing it, but the effect should be similar for both.


Neolithic people rarely used dates and would use an angle of tilt or obliquity to date their monuments. The size or angles would hint at their date and meaning, in this case, it suggests 'year' and moon location in two separate locations. Although this is the spacing and not the build year, the probable build year is the use of the number of days in 6455 years as a difference off a 28-day and 29.53 day month. 
The 36° entrance connects start location with its finish location on the sloping stone. This also depicts a moon phase. The 36° entrance is towards the northwest.


In this duration of time (6455 years), the moon would have completed 13 rotations per year. Dividing by 28 days in a month and 29.53 days in a lunar month. 

6455−1613.75=4841.25
4841.25×365=1767056.25
1613.75×366=590632.5 
Total number of days 2357688.75 

Sidereal month
2357688.75÷27.32=86299.0025 
Perennial calendar
2357688.75÷28=84203.17 
Synodic month
2357688.75÷29.53=79840.459 

Difference sidereal/synodic
86299.0025-79840.459=6458.543 

Difference perennial/synodic
84203.17-79840.459=4362.711
4362.711-1985=2377 

The sidereal/synodic produces a number vary similiar to 6455 were as a perennial/synodic produces a probably date of 2377 bc, the use of the number 6455 in multiple ways suggests it is a primer with the other number as the date. 


From another pairing of stones, the Lochmaben Stone, which holds the same theme and has been dated to 3000 bc, has shown that the two are connected.
For this to be correct a different way of interpreting 2377 is used and this is also from Gravinis, the number 4655 is obtained from subtracting 855 from 5510, if this is applied with 2377 then 3133 bc is achieved.

5510-2377=3133

This then dates it inside of twenty years of each other.

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?
