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...

Pella

Pella

Pella is an ancient city located in Central Macedonia, Greece, which is best known as the historical capital of the ancient kingdom of Macedon and the birthplace of Alexander the Great.
Currently, the area is being excavated so that it can open for the public in 2021. On site, there is the Pella Archaeological Park, Museum, and Ancient Agora of Pella.
The Ancient Agora of Pella is the largest building on site with a measurement near 243m (800ft) at an angle of 2°. Most buildings partly buried also follow this alignment with a few at 5°, although if the part buried side isn't included, then the measurement would be 210m (689ft).

Coordinates
40.756672,22.518959

Measurements
The 2° angle of most buildings equates in years as 695 ad but is past maximum tilt, so it could mean it would align east/west in the year 3275.
695, if used as feet is 6ft difference from 689 feet (a distance of 2m), it is possible that either the measurement is 212m or the angle could increase, making it an angle of 2.02°.
This would make the angle a cubit per metre, and the following would apply, showing that the measurement was 458 cubits (0.45405) long.

(Greek cubit/cubit 0.45405)
462.5 cubits (458 cubits)
454.25 cubits (450 cubits)
If the remaining distance is included, it would be 111 ft more (74.5 cubits or 36m).
The area in cubits of this building is divided by three times 111 plus the difference in angle (6ft) equates as 1000×root golden ratio, the overall length in metres divided by cubit equals 537 cubits.

458×458=209764
209764÷((3×111)+6)=618.8

243.84÷0.45405=537 cubits


Possible variations
If the length of their year in days is 354 or 377, then a season would be 88.5 days.
354÷4=88.5
It is possible that this number could also be precession or apsidal precession or a golden ratio reduction.

If precession, it could connect to the Spring Equinox, which is currently on 20th March, this, though, gives only 282 (Alexander the Great being born in 356 bc).
(5÷88.5)×5000=282.485
(9.5÷88.5)×5000=537

Golden ratios are made up of increasing cubes, and on Khafre's pyramid, the interpretation has an 8.85 cubit cube at 60.06 × 111.2 cubits east off the pyramid's side although this no longer exists.

The Moon's orbit approximates an ellipse rather than a circle. However, the orientation (as well as the shape) of this orbit is not fixed. In particular, the position of the extreme points (the line of the apsides: perigee and apogee) rotates once (apsidal precession) in about 3,233 days (8.85 years). It takes the moon longer to return to the same apsis because it has moved ahead during one revolution. This longer period is called the anomalistic month and has an average length of 27.554551 days.

If reducing as a golden ratio, 800ft would reduce 7 times until it reached 27.543ft.
800×0.618~
27.542877
For an exact figure of 27.554551, the length of a side in feet would be 799.913ft.



Conclusion
It is possible the site, when constructed, was based around the golden ratio. For the smaller area to be in this ratio, it would be measured as 494.4 ft.
If the reduction equals an anomalistic month, then the 7 times could represent a week. The day then could be 282 days but not precession even though 88.5 days is a season, the 282nd day of the year would be in October depending on how many days there were per month.

If considering Alexander the Great's birth of 356 bc, then using the length of 210m as feet as 689ft, then subtracting his birth year gives 332, which is his year of reign
689-356.5=332

If Alexander the Great's birth was 356 bc, then the tilt angle would be 3.62° for that year, which, if subtracted from the angle 2.02° leaves a number very near to the golden ratio.
356+1985=2341
2341÷1000=2.341
2.341×1.55=3.62855
3.62855−2.02=1.60855

If the golden ratio is subtracted, then it leaves a number that could suggest 2° angle and 243m length. In a triangle of length 800ft, the differences between these two angles are 6.
3.62855-1.618=2.243


It is possible that the golden ratio is used for size and scaling. It is also probable that 7 days are represented in reduction along with a month's length of 27.554551 days as a ratio.
If the area is increased by a golden ratio, it would make the sides 332m by 332m. If using the Ancient Greek's largest area measurement of a Plethron, then the area would measure as 116.534 Plethrons.

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.

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?
