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...

Torhouse Stone Circle

Torhouse Stone Circle

Author Chris Newman

Torhouse Stone Circle is situated in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. 


Coordinates
54.876949,-4.522709

The circle is 22m wide with two stones in the centre, there are a further three stones in a row towards the east that align at 9° to the centre stones and two stones towards the southeast at 72°-74° towards the centre and 42° towards the row of three. The three are 130m away, and the two are 40m away.

There are nineteen stones on the circumference of the circle and three inside made of granite and it is considered as a Neolithic constructed circle, as with other stone circles the angles between the stones give away a clue to it's purpose.
(23° is from the outside stones and 51° from the inner stones and outside three stones, 41° is the angle where most stones align).
(The 19 stones should be considered as 20, obtaining the 41° off two centre stones).

Angles
Here, the angles that are used are 23°,51° and 41°, and the purpose of the angle is a directional pointer.

Using 23° clockwise
4,2,1,1,1,1,2,3

Using 51° clockwise (left)
2,1,2,1,1,1,1,1,3

Using 23° anti-clockwise
1,1,1,2,1,1,2,2,2,1

Using 51° anti-clockwise
1,2,1,2,1,1,1,1,3



Cancelling (subtracting) out the two 23° together and the two 51° together produces.
3,1,0,1,0,0,0,1,2,1
1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0

And applying the 41° alignment of central stones and circle
2,2,2,2,1,2,2,2,3
Or
2,2,2,2,4,2,2,2

After this pairing, there are two single stones left that are angled at 1°.

From the paired numbers ³√121 and 3101 are produced assuming that '0' are not used. Also, the number 3101 might be a number. This could be an angle of 3.191° as if it would be a year.
³√(121)=4.946
4.946÷1.55=3.191

Towards the northwest from this location is the Callanish Standing Stones, the angle currently is about 69.5°. If the 3.191 is added, an angle similiar to the two stones is achieved, but because it is between 72°-74° then it could just be the 4.946° without being adjusted.

69.5+3.191=72.691°
69.5+4.946=74.446°


It is clear that the 41° is significant and connects with the Callanish Standing Stones.
The only number not used is the 9° or the distances of the outer stones.
If these are multipled together, the following is produced, giving possible years of 2163 bc or 2093 bc, with a difference of 70.2 years.

(130×9)+(74.446×40)=4147.84
4147.84−1985=2162.84


(130×9)+(72.691×40)=4077.64
4077.64−1985=2092.64



Conclusion 
There are a few marker circles that exist that direct towards a larger circle or settlement, with this being a possibility. 
The number 3101 and angle 41° have appeared a number of times, the 41° is a possible marker direction and 3101 a year or distance in kilometres.
This currently suggests a build after Avebury at a date of 2163 bc, but because 3101 and 41° is from the Callanish Standing Stones and also other locations, it doesn't mean it originated there. 
The 3101 is considered a distance measurement to Canada in kilometres. This number would increase gradually as ice melt increased sea levels, gradually reaching 3108 in 1563 bc.
The 41° suggests a location marker. It is used a number of times and suggests a significant event at a 41° angle.

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. Coordinates 53.207714,-4.236147 Further monuments: The Bryn Celli Ddu Standing Stone is a short, rounded stone approximately 520 feet away from the Burial Chamber at an angle of 31 degrees to wa rd the southwest. The Tyddyn-Bach Standing Stone is a tall, neolithic stone along with a cleari ng approxi mately 1390 feet away from the Burial Chamber at an angle of 17 degrees toward the northwest.

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?
