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...

Thornborough Henges

Thornborough Henges
Link below


The Thornborough Henges are an ancient monument complex made up of three henges. The complex is located near the village of Thornborough, close to the town of Masham in North Yorkshire, England. The site includes other structures, including a cursus, henges, burial grounds, and settlements.

Although thought to have been part of a Neolithic and Bronze Age 'ritual landscape', it has been shown to be originally Neolithic before being built on again in the Bronze Age.
So dating is comparable to between 3500 and 2500 bc.


Meaning
There are a number of stone monuments made up of three separate parts and individual stone monuments connected together in threes. These could be representative of an angle or an alignment. In this case, it is a conjunction, an alignment of three planets which could pin point a date to the nearest year or month.
(As the Earth rotates yearly, this would be less common for it but with the larger planets more of a rarity).
This is a conjunction of the planets Jupiter and Saturn, which occurrs every 19.76 years, although a further alignment can be made either six months before or six months after.

The angles 52.75°/57.3° and number 1.91264 from °/km are used.
(°/km = circumference at location)
(57.3° probably = radians at 57.297°)

The following are the numbers produced from the measurements and angles of the site.

Using Jupiter x Lunar standstill
11.862x28.725=340.73
Saturn
29.457x28.725=846
Dividing both=2.485°


Longitude of the ascending node
1.91264x57.3=109.6°
Saturn 113.665°
× half distance
1.91264x52.75°=100.89°
Jupiter =100.464°

Inclination to ecliptic Jupiter
1.91264x1.467=1.303°
Saturn=2.485°
Argument perihelion Saturn/Jupiter
180-2.485×1.91264=339°
678÷1000÷2.485×1000=273°

Thornborough Henges
The ability to follow the longitude of the ascending node for both Jupiter and Saturn shows that they used 365.25 as a value for a year. They also used degrees, whole numbers, triangles, and radians.

The value in percentage off from a conjunction for Earth, Jupiter, and Saturn.
Month(E)/week(J)/week(S)= % difference from semi major axis.
This means that the alignment was off a month for Earth and a week both for Jupiter and Saturn.


Conclusion 
It is unclear why the longitude of the ascending node for Saturn is 4.065° different as all other numbers are almost exact.
(This number, along with 1.912° gives a date of 1870 bc, which is about the date of the completion).

It is possible that the ancient Egyptians reached here in the 25th/26th century bc and expanded the site so including the 1.912 number (1/0.523), the radian is also included here but a rarity in ancient Egypt. 

A possibility is that the number 0.523 was incorporated into a number of builds about the 27th/24th century bc and not just the Giza pyramids through trade and travel.
Another possibility was that some of it was built on a Neolithic site about the 25th/26th century bc but not fully completed until the 19th century bc, this could be from later builders who saw a pattern and included a conjunction. This is quite similar to the various dating of the dolmens in the article  'Dolmens of Spain', where the addition of the final dolmen was unconnected to the build so a further connection was added.

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?
