Dolmen Crucuno

Dolmen Crucuno

Author Myrabella


The Dolmen Crucuno is located in the town of Plouharnel, in Morbihan, to the north-west of the village, situated next door to a house.


Dimensions
7.60m long
3.35m wide
1.80m high

The capstone weighs 40 tonnes, and there are nine support stones of which one has cup and ring marks. The rest of the 27 metre long original structure was used for nearby buildings, it become the property of the state in 1882, and the dolmen was classified as a historical monument from 1889.


Construction
Like other dolmens, Crucuno was assembled by placing the capstone onto the buried support stones and then digging the soil away.


Dolmens vary in design by year of construction. Some had holes in their side for the reproduction of sound, which was possibly made from a methane/air mixture.
This could possibly be a way of communicating, but as sound has a short range, it would be the vibration induced that would travel further distances. This could be a reproduction of the sound from icebergs of some size breaking apart and falling into the sea.
Other dolmens represented rocky out crops where the stones were quarried, or sculptures that represented an event where a capstone would be dragged onto supporting stones. These sculptures would be much like sculptures in modern times.

Coordinates
47.624231,-3.126393

The Dolmen Crucuno location is at 11° and 800m from the Dolmen de Kergazec and 45° and 650m from the Dolmen Mané Croc'h.


From a date of 3300 bc when dolmens were being built, the angles between these two stones would be 2.8° and 53.2°.

11-8.19175=2.808
45+8.19175=53.19175
2.80825×800=2246
53.19175×650=34574.63

Using these numbers to subtract from the number 5510 and to find a latitude for circumference, the following are produced.

5510-2246=3263
cos(30.37)×40075=34574

This suggests a year of 3263 bc and a coordinate of 30.37° north, the coordinate would be a location in southern Spain.

Coordinates Crucuno
47.624231,-3.126393

Coordinates Gravinis
47.571790,-2.897059

If the angle connects with the altitude so as to subtract 45° and 45° is the marker, then a new date of 3419 bc is produced.

47.624231-2.80825=44.815981
47.571790-2.80825=44.76354

11-2.624231=8.375769=3419 bc
11-2.571780=8.42822=3453 bc


Conclusion
There are a few monuments in this area, and some have been altered, but this is quite large and might have limited it's destruction unlike its path of 27 metres. It is more likely that the angles are 45° and 11°, so subtracting its coordinates gives a value of 2.624° and a date of 3419 bc.

This is probably correct as it lies near the beginning of dolmen's construction, and most are either considered as tombs or sculptures. This would mean that it only gives a date from maximum tilt.

Gravinis alignment shows it as 55° towards the northeast and 35° towards the northwest. These angles show that the '35' is 11 less than '46', and the two numbers then make 4655.

Using the same, then it is the subtraction from 11° North that gives it the date. If the two angles of 45° are used, then it is just 45° but could mean 45° twice.

This then confirms the date of construction of 3419 bc, which is probably accurate.

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 ...
