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 ©

Swinside Stone Circle

Swinside Stone Circle

Swinside Stone Circle, which is also known as Sunkenkirk and Swineshead, is a stone circle lying beside Swinside Fell, part of Black Combe in southern Cumbria, North West England.
It has been suggested that most archaeologists concur that the circles in this area were built for ritual or ceremonial reasons, the stone circles Castlerigg and Long Meg, and her Daughters are in this area.
The circle is 27m in diameter with 47 stones on the circumference and 1 further stone at 19°, although there are a total of 55 stones originally, there could have been 60 stones.

Coordinates
54.282497,-3.273838


Angles
If the circle is split by a line that goes through each double stone , then angles 10,19, and 90° are produced with the 90° at maximum tilt. This then splits the circle in half with 20 stones in total towards the west and 27 towards the east.

The 10 and 19 lines also split the circle, and the corresponding number of stones per segment are 9,1,10 west and 15,4,8 east.

If the number of stones on the circumference of each segment are multipled by half the angle of each intersecting line (5° and 9.5°) then the values of 45,75,76 and 95 are produced.
This seems random, but if each is considered as half hours, then the values equal 10.30,1.30,11.30,2.00.
If split east/west, then 10.30,11.30/1.30,2.00.
10.30-1.30
11.30-2.00
If these values are added for east/west, they equal 22/3.5. In a triangle, the angle is 9°. 9° could be 9° further south or north on the coordinates of the circle giving 45.3°.
As a time, this is then 10pm till 3.30 am, 5.5hrs or 82.5° rotation. 82.5° could also mean width along a longitude or equator.



Conclusion
The splitting of the circle east/west at maximum tilt could suggest a direction of travel, which coupled with time could mean rotation, and as the Earth rotates anti-clockwise, the rotation is anti-clockwise
Initially, this could mean an event at between 10pm until 3.30 am. and the 9° difference in a location north or south of the circle.

Instead, this is more likely a Lunar eclipse at latitude 45.3° or 63.3° with an equatorial width of 82.5°.
A typical lunar eclipse is defined by date/time, event, and direction, and particularly as 'beginning, max, end and duration, with altitude and magnitude'.
So maximum, end, and duration are then defined by latitude and rotation, leaving magnitude and a start time.

On the 3rd March 1241 bc a Partial Eclipse occured, the Penumbral Eclipse lasted for 5hrs 25mins with a max at 9:21:05hrs and Partial Eclipse lasted for 2hrs 29mins.

On the 23rd February 1241 bc a Total Solar Eclipse occured, which was situated over Indonesian.
The Partial Lunar Eclipse was over Europe with a maximum latitude of 63° and a longitude of 45°.

There isn't a date but it could be implied from half of one of the angles 10° or 19° as either 5° or 9.5°, as 9.5° equates as 4144 bc then it probably is 5° which equates as 1241 bc.
This puts it about the date of Castlerigg and is also a similar coordinate of 54° north.

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

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.

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?
