Menhirs de Kerderff Menhirs de Kerderff are similar to the The Pipers, St Buryan, but are in the area of Brittany where the Alignements du Vieux-Moulin, Carnac and Gravinis are located. The Pipers suggested to a date of 1921 bc using a stone circle that was built before it, and the Alignements du Vieux-Moulin suggested a number '1' but might have been altered possibly from something else. Menhirs de Kerderff They are two separate stones separated by 50m with a height of 3m and 5.8m. Like many of these stones, they had been worked to give a slightly pointed shape. Assuming these two stones were east/west when built, then a date can be derived from the angle. They are currently at 9° east/west. Date 9÷1.55=5.80645 5.80645×1000=5806.45 5805.45-1985=3821.45 bc Obliquity 2.8÷4.8=0.5833 0.5833×41000=23916.66 Latitude cos(47.59)×40007=26981.97 For latitude to equal 23917, the latitude would be 53.286°, which would put it near Heswall, Liverpool. cos(53.286)×4...

Menhir De Kerscaven Menhir De Kerscaven consists of two stones. The taller with grooves is 8m tall, and the shorter is 7m tall. The angle between them is 63° and the distance is 202m (663ft). In another pair of stone menhirs, the distance and angle along with height difference were used to achieve a possible explanation. For Menhir De Kerscaven, the ratio of heights is 1.14. If then multipled by the distance, it gives 230.  The following are a short description, which includes altitude above sea level for each mentioned.

Alignements du Vieux-Moulin Alignements du Vieux-Moulin is a monument in Bretagne, France, thought to be Neolithic. Coordinates 47.606274,-3.119612 Alignements du Vieux-Moulin consists of a row of six stones varying in height from 2m to 4m, and they are grouped in pairs with pairs of stones angled at 90°, 73° and 63°. Also, in this area of France is the Neolithic monuments Gravinis and Carnac at an angle of 14° and 30° towards the southeast. 14° Gravinis 30° Carnac Interpretation It is possible that the angles in pairs, angle to the ground, and height may show its purpose. The following are their angles in pairs multipled. 12×13=156 8×10=80 6×90=540 23×10=230 separation angles If the angles in pairs (from above) are multipled by their angles north then a number of 64268 is produced, if this is divided by 3600 a possible right ascension of 17hr 51.133' is produced or 267.78° as an angle. ((63×156)+(73×80)+(90×540))=64268 ÷ 3600 =17hr 51m 13.3s Or 26...

Amphipolis Amphipolis was a Greek city founded by the Athenians in eastern Macedonia on the Strymon River in 438-437 bc. It later became a Roman city, whose remains can still be seen. During Alexander the Great's Asia campaign, his wife and child resided at Amphipolis along with his generals. Towards the northeast of the archaeological site is the Kasta tomb and towards the south the Lion of Amphipolis, a tomb to one of Alexander's generals with the Kasta in honour of him. Kasta tomb 40.839325,23.863121 Kasta tomb a burial complex site is ten times larger than the tomb of Alexander's father, Philip II of Macedon, archaeologists think that it was probably built by the architect Dinocrates, who was a technical adviser and friend to Alexander the Great. Measurements Although the coordinates multipled equal 974, 40 multipled 23 is equal to 920, a number one less than Khufu's pyramid perimeter. 40.839325×23.863121=974.554 40×23=920 As Alexander's final plan...

The Pipers, St Buryan Pipers are a pair of standing stones near the Merry Maidens Stone Circle in Cornwall, United Kingdom. There are two of them separated by about 90m, and they are known as The Pipers I and The Pipers II. Coordinates 50.067394,-5.585738 The name of these two stones derives from a legend that they were, in fact, two pipers who were turned to stone for playing music on the Sabbath for the nearby dancing Merry Maidens. A different legend states that the two stones were set up following a 10th-century battle in which the Anglo-Saxon English, led by Æthelstan, fought the Cornish Celts, ledHowel and supported by the Danes. The Pipers were said to mark the positions of the two opposing leaders. Alignment The Pipers are currently aligned at 50° towards the northeast or southwest. Although they align with the Merry Maidens Stone Circle, the angle is between 50°-53°. The southwest stone is 4.7m tall, and the northeast...

Ring of Brodgar The Ring of Brodgar is a Neolithic henge and stone circle on the largest island in Orkney, Scotland. It is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the Heart of Neolithic Orkney. Like many stone circles, which were constructed in the Neolithic/Bronze Age, they were representative of an astrological, mathematical, or coordinate value. The Ring of Brodgar was no different. Dating is uncertain but is generally thought to have been erected between 2500 bc and 2000 bc. Description  The stone circle is 104 metres (341 ft) wide and is inside a ditch 120m wide , 27 of the original 60 stones remain standing (although only 21 are full height). Other stones on the island include the so-called 'Comet Stone' to the southeast along with the Standing Stones of Stenness, another 500m pass the Ness of Brodgar. The Ness of Brodgar settlement, along with the Skara Brae village towards the northeast, a...

Olympia Olympia is a small town in Elis on the Peloponnese peninsula in Greece. It was a major Panhellenic religious sanctuary of ancient Greece, where the ancient Olympic Games were held. Although dedicated to the Greek god Zeus, it is unconnected to Mount Olympus and the Twelve Olympians, which were the major deities of Ancient Greek religion. The ancient Greek Olympic Games were held every four years, from the 8th century bc to the 4th century ad.

Paestum Paestum is an archaeological site dominated by the three ancient Greek temples in the Doric order, dating from about 600 to 450 bc. Given the name Poseidonia by the Greek colonists who founded the town, it was later conquered by the local Lucanians who renamed it Paistos and later conquered by the Romans in 273 bc who called it Paestum in the aftermath of the Pyrrhic War. Poseidonia might have had a major share in a new foundation of Sybaris, which lasted from 452/1 bc until 446/5 bc. The Dorian league was known for building the Parthenon and buildings in Selinunte, Sicily. Temples Hera was the Queen of the Greek Gods, an older temple for Hera stood in Olympia Greece built in 590 bc but was destroyed by an earthquake (this is aligned at 3.97° anti-clockwise at maximum tilt, giving it a date of 576 bc). There are two Hera Temples on the site. The northern one of the two is called the Temple of Neptune, and the Athena Tem...

Rujm el-Hiri Rujm el-Hiri in the Golan Heights, Israel is an ancient monument thought to be Bronze Age. Coordinates 32.908705°N 35.800705°E The monument is made from a number of circular rings of basalt rock, 160m wide, and from 2.4m high at the edge to 4.6m at the centre. Due to it's location the stone is mostly from the mountainous regions of the Golan Heights. It lies on the boundary between the Kingdom of Jerusalem and the Great Seljuq Empire during the Crusader States, but it possibly played a role in the Silk Road, a route from the 2nd century bc China. The walls of the monument could have been built standing and built with small tolerances similiar to many structures in that area depending on age, but it is also possible that it was built as it appears today. (This could make it appear older, or it was a marker that just got expanded from land clearing for farm land). Appearance Rujm el-Hiri is circular in shape and somewhat maze like or shield like. It is ne...
