Gorsedd Circle

Gorsedd Circle The Gorsedd Cir cle is a stone circle in Fishguard, Wa les. T he Gorsedd Stone s 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 Ab erdare Park and A nglesey. They are typically 20 meters 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) Archeology77 ©

Rujm el-Hiri

Rujm el-Hiri
Link below no changes


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 near an object that resembles a snake. This could be the constellation of Serpens.

Serpens is a constellation that is split into two non-contiguous parts, Serpens Caput (Serpent Head) to the west and Serpens Cauda (Serpent Tail), this gives it a declination of +20° to -16°.


The Armenian Stonehenge is located northwest of its location and is considered as the constellation Hydra and Carter. Hydra has a large bright star called Alphard half way along it's length, Rujm el-Hiri has a snake shape near to it and so must be Serpens, in Serpens Caput the brightest star Alpha Serpentis lies half way along.

Alpha Serpentis
Right ascension 15h 44m 16.07431s
Declination +06° 25′ 32.2633″

As an angle, this is 225.2378°

As an angle for obliquity, it would give it an age of 4428 bc, which would put it as Neolithic.
225.2378÷360=0.6256°

10250×0.6256=6413.02
6413.02−1985=4428 bc

The Neolithic people didn't build structures of the constellations until 2700 bc (from 3300 bc individual stars were popular), but using the 0.6256° as a number to subtract from the location a difference of 0.06036° puts it in the Old City of Jerusalem.

Jerusalem
31.776849°N 35.235465°E
Rujm el-Hiri
32.908705°N 35.800705°E



The exact number 35.175105°E would put it near Motza illit, Israel a 9000 year archaeology site which was recently discovered in this area.
This is also inaccurate due to age, but the angle difference of 225° could equate to 225kms. The distance to Motza is between 208kms and 232.2kms depending on route.

Because of these inaccuracies, it was probably built as a distance and obliquity marker for direction to Jerusalem.





Other possibilities

The Silk Road started during the Han Dynasty 202 bc to 220 ad. The bi, a type of circular Chinese jade artefact associated with astronomy, was popular in the Han dynasty along with patterned end roof tiles from the Western Han dynasty with astrological depictions.


There are a number of buildings that connect directly to the snake shape, and certain angles values connect it to Rujum Al-Hiri, but these don't colerate to stars but possibly to islands in the Adriatic Sea.
Vis on one side and Brač/Hvar/Korčula the other.

Measuring from the island of Vis connects to Xinjiang in the Western Han dynasty, a distance of 2020km.
From the monument to the buildings, they produce angles, and these (offset 16°) produce locations, 3285 shapes of a snake, 4350 groups of three buildings in the Caspian Sea and one building at the measured distance.
The 3285 equals 32°N 85°E a location inside China and 4350 equals 43°N 50°E a location inside Russia currently underwater in the Caspian Sea.


The rocks are volcanic basalt columns made from extruded basalt cooled and eroded.
A possible Roman numeral 'LXXV', which equals 75, is also produced from the patterns of the stones. This could equate to 75 bc or 75 ad.



Conclusion 
The Roman numeral would be needed if built during the Romans as they were known to destroy or dismantle them.
The location and astrological theme would also put it about this era during the Silk Road, the obvious distance marker to Motza, Jerusalem hides the more complex distance and coordinates of a snake in the mountains and similar three buildings, no longer visible underwater.
Some effort was put into it not only the number of stones and size but also the connection to the constellation Serpens which was measured from a location very near to Greenwich as it is done in the 21st century.

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?
