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...

Olympia

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.

If the coordinates of the location in Hungary are taken roughly as 46 and 18 and then connected to the building angles and then with π.

46×18=828
4×8×23=736
Difference
828-736=92

(92÷23=4)
π−3=0.14159
0.14159÷1.55=91.3500991
91.3500991÷23=3.9717434391




The reason for this could be to give a more accurate angle, which in turn would be a more accurate date, or a distance as part of a circle, so could be multipled by the radian.
This, though, is one of many points that could fit along this 16° north facing road.
A possible date, distance, and new coordinates.

3.9717÷1.55=2.5624
2.5624×1000=2562.4
2562.42−1985=577.42 bc


3.9717×57.296=227.565
227.5650÷111.3194=2.04425
21.629804-18.216799=3.413005

From Olympia's coordinates and adding the 227 as kms gives a value of 2.04425 for longitude and 0.306249 for latitude.

21.629804+2.044252136=23.674056136

Coordinates (longitude)

Coordinates (latitude)
37.943000,23.674056136
(37.943000-37.636751=0.306249)


In a distance, this is a triangle 227.565 km by 34.09 km with an angle of 7.532° and a distance of 229.5 km to Athens, Greece. As a direct journey, the angle increases to 7.598°


37.636751,21.629804
2.026302+21.629804=23.656106

The alternative puts the distance about 1.5kms west in the Pireas area.
37.943000,23.65610669




Conclusion
This site holds a similarly to Rujm el-Hiri in the angle of 16° and distance of 225.2378 kms, which could be a direction to Jerusalem.
Another possibility is that it is a copy of the meaning for Olympia, the 16° north road and distance to Athens but using 227.565kms as the direct route and 225.566kms as the horizontal distance, the difference between these two is 0.329kms.

225.566-225.2378=0.329kms

The difference in measurement can be accounted for as the measurement used is from the end of the main road and in itself is about 300m west of the grandstand of the Olympic Stadium.


This would then put Rujm el-Hiri no older than 800 bc but more accurately nearer to the Romans in the 1st century bc to 1st century ad.
This also just uses triangles to calculate distance on a curved surface and uses the equatorial circumference for both latitude and longitude.




The distance to Kurd is 1056kms at 16° north in the 20th century, if subtracted by the angle 3.97° and that number divided by 60 as if coverting into minutes, as a ratio from 360 gives the number 0.7 which can be used for obliquity with a date given.

16−3.97=12.03
12.03×1056=12703.68
12703.68÷60=211.728 minutes
360-211.728=148.272
148.272÷211.728=0.7
0.7×10250=7178.0208

This number then is subtracted from maximum tilt and from peak obliquity, giving two numbers.
7178.0208-1985=5193
7178.0208-6642=536

Taking these two numbers and splitting them so that by giving coordinates, the following is produced.
51.93 or 51°N 93°E
5.36 or 5°N 36°E

The angle between the two points is 44° in the 20th century ad and in the 5th century bc it is 40.03°.

44-3.97=40.03

From earlier, a number of 225.56kms was achieved. If this number is also split for coordinates, it gives the longitude.
225.56 = 22.56°

Official coordinates
40°05′08″N 22°21′31″E
New coordinates
40°03' N 22°56' E

The new coordinates are about 15kms southeast of Mt.Olympus and visable from the coast at Leptokarya and an angular distance of 3° accounting for the π-3.

This suggests that the maximum tilt to 577 bc is 3.97°, 'Olympus', but the conversion is quite obscure.
(Minutes, degrees, obliquity, and coordinates).

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?
