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...
Almendres Cromlech
The Cromlech of the Almendres is a megalithic complex (commonly known as the Almendres Cromlech). It is located 12km west of Evora in Portugal.
The site is thought to be 8000 years old and evolved from a circle as Almendres I, through Almendres II and Almendres III until its present shape (present shape is the measurements in this article).
There are markings on some stones that vaguely resemble cup and ring marks but are of poor quality and hold no similarly with other cup and ring marks.
(Cup and ring marks were popular from 3300-1500 bc, they existed before and after but are few and far between).
Coordinates
38.557489,-8.061324
Measurements
The complex in feet measures 190ft wide by 100ft high. There are 91 stones around the outside, which are in groups of 7 or 11, 2 stones are lying, and 4 stones are markers with 3 arranged in the centre of the 4.
Angles
There are two lines of stones in the centre made up of four, two are angled at 35° and two at 25°.
The 35° stones are the baseline, so the 25° stones are at 25° to the 35°, this line reduces to a point towards the northwest.
At the measured point (the lying stone) is 108ft wide but at some point the two lines converge to an angle of 10° and it's diagonal (25° line) is about 618ft long or 1000×(1/1.618). At this location where it is exactly 618ft, the width is 107.315ft wide (if this is multipled by 1000, then rooted, equals 328).
√(107315)=328
The fallen stone is the point of measure. Around a metre away is a stone marking this 107.315ft width, as the measuring angle is 25° this gives the width of the fallen stone at 68.5 cms.
Interpretation
As one lying stone is the measurement point, the other is at 45°, which splits the groups of 7 or 11 stones, so groups can be split about a mid point.
The numbers appear as the following again using 11 as root, the lying stone or brackets could also be considered as 11°.
7,7,11,7,7,11() 7,7,7
√(777)=27.875
√(77)×√(77)=77
Dividing the two numbers gives 2.76235, and as a year could be 202 ad or 777 bc if considered as an angle already.
2.76235÷1.55=1782.167
1782.167−1985=202.833 ad
2.76235×1000=2762.35
2762.35−1985=777.35 bc
As the 777 appears there already, it probably isn't root, just a number, so it's not including the 777.
The internal shape of stones has an average side width of 54 ft. This multipled and then subtracted from 1985 equals 931.
54×54=2916
2916−1985=931
Conclusion
It is possible that root, golden ratio, 931 ratio and 7 and 11 originated here at Almendres Cromlech in Portugal but if not these numbers are then a copy of the Giza pyramids numbers and so means they were erected after 2589 bc.
This also applies to Xerez Cromlech, which is also a monument that has two different angles of sides and is the centre part similar to Almendres Cromlech.
They are also using eleven as root something the ancient Egyptians didn't do as it is their construction ratio, a 328 is included which didn't originate with the ancient Egyptians but is in Khufu's pyramid chambers and if the 107.315 is reduced to 107.155 (Khufu's/Khafre's pyramid angle) the slope becomes 617ft long. This, though, could be one add 617 to equal 618, something that appears in their construction ratios.
If the date of 202 ad is accurate them this would put it under the regin of the Romans and Emperor Septimius Severus rule.
On this date in history, he returns to Rome and, amongst other things, gives the Roman legions a pay rise and allows them to marry.
This could give a Roman legion based in Portugal at that time a chance to commemorate the occasion by building a monument but because this was unlikely the man power they could spare would be sufficient to reconstruct an alternative monument possibly marking an earlier event. If this monument in any way resembles a number eight, it could be representative of his death in 210 ad and then was built marking earlier events.
This would then mean the stones were part of an earlier monument, including carvings, but rearranged under Emperor Septimius Severus rule. The original might have been a circle but could have been several randomly located stones.
It is possible that celestial objects could be represented here along with other stones, or because of tilt, the angles represented sunrise/sunset or moon/sun.
(These are measurements at maximum tilt).
(a) The Menhir of Almendres at 32° and 1.3kms could be connected to the original stone structures, at 3300 bc the angle would be 8.2° more and would be marking the sunrise, any older and this would no longer apply. A possible star could be Xi Ursae Majoris at 32.4° with drift and a distance of 29 lys.
(b) The Menhir do Patalou at 68.5° and 112kms away towards the northeast might also be connected but to maximum tilt.
A possible star could be Delta Draconis at +67, along with drift, which is roughly 67.5° and a distance of 97.4 lys.
(c) The Menhir Standard at 29° and 149kms away towards the southwest. A possible star could be Mu Herculis at 28.85° including drift and a distance of 27 lys.
(d) The Menhir Meada towards the northeast at 57° and 98kms.
A possible star is Delta Ursae Majoris at 57° and a distance of 80.5 lys.
(e) The Menhir São Paio de Antas at 75° and 275kms away towards the northwest. A possible star is Beta Ursae Minoris at 74° and a distance of 131 lys.
It isn't fully possible to understand their accuracy as it isn't clear which stones didn't get adjusted, although there are stars in these locations at maximum tilt, at 3300 bc these would be different stars. The stone distance away and star distance has no comparison and seems quite random.
If considering their spacing, one towards the northwest and southwest at 136° separation, a further three towards northwest, their ratios equate to 3238.
1960+1268.96+9.1=3238
The 136° could then equate to the right ascension 9hrs 6", at this location, and the declination of 48° is Iota Ursae Majoris, a star, and its distance of 47.3 lys.
(It is 1.7 solar masses and has two companions of about 0.3 solar masses)
Near this star is Kappa Ursae Majoris at right ascension 9hrs 3" and declination of 47°.
(It is 3.8 solar masses and 8 solar radii, at a distance of 360 lys)
The ratio of stone/stars distances multipled by their height in metres produces the following numbers.
a=47.5
b=3
c=0.33
d=5
e=0.573
From the ratio, it is clear that they're not random but connect with these stars at maximum tilt.
It is likely that 'Cromlech of the Almendres' represented Earth and might have been a double rowed monument as depicted in Almendres I. It also might have been expanded, so also depicting the Moon.
Because all five outer stones are used for just these two stars, it is more probable that Cromlech of the Almendres represented the stars Iota Ursae Majoris and Kappa Ursae Majoris.
Dating is unclear as it is alinged to maximum tilt, but significant dates of 3300 bc and 202 ad are included and possibly mark dates of alterations.
