Down Tor Stone Circle

Down Tor Stone Circle Down Tor Stone Circle is a stone circle near Down Tor, Dartmoor. Also called Hingston Hill Cairn. Foggintor Quarry is not far to the northwest, where the stones could have been quarried, along with Down Tor, which is currently a national park. Crazywell Cross is to the north and Drizzlecombe to the south. Coordinates  50.506060,-3.994103 Description  Down Tor Stone Circle consists of a long stone row with a circle of stones at the end towards the southwest. This can be considered similar to Drizzlecombe in shape and construction, and is 2 kilometers away. Measurements  This tor and circle are angled at 22° towards the southwest, with the row at a length of 755 feet or 230 metres. Analysis  It is possible that Down Tor Stone Circle is similar to Drizzlecombe, which was shown to be possibly connected with the golden ratio and π or 9πφ together. The circle is 40 meters wide. If using the 22° on the circle towards the northwest, then all stones pair...

The Rollright Stones

The Rollright Stones

Author Midnightblueowl


The Rollright Stones are a complex of three Neolithic and Bronze Age megalithic monuments near the village of Long Compton, on the borders of Oxfordshire and Warwickshire.
They were constructed from local oolitic limestone and are thought to date to the 4th-2nd millennium bc, they are known as the King's Men, the Whispering Knights in Oxfordshire and the King Stone in Warwickshire.

The King's Men is the stone circle consisting of 57 stones, the Whispering Knights is a collection of 6 stones, and the King Stone is by itself.
The three create a triangle with the angles as 19°/58°/103° between them, if the area in feet is divided by 3600 a number near the vertical angle (62°) is produced with the perimeter divided by the horizontal angle (4°) producing 689ft.
(This uses the measurements sides as 1250ft/1088ft/417ft)

221374÷3,600=61.5
2756÷4=689
1250÷1088=1.15
1088÷417=2.61
The ratios reducing give the numbers 1.15 and 2.61 but multipled give the following, with the area divided by 332² equaling 2.
1250×1088=1360000
1088×417=454000
221374÷(332×332)=2.00
√(221374)=470.5

Coordinates
51.975606,-1.570772

If the number of each monument is included, then the numbers are 57, 6, and 1. These then colorate as the internal angles of the three monuments together but by using the new number from the area divided by 3600, which was 61.5°.


Conclusion
The area of the triangle between the three divided by 3600 produces the new number of 61.5, which also colorates with the number of stones for each.
The difference of 4 is produced as 61-57. This number is then used for the perimeter, which gives a number of 689 feet.

This number has appeared before at Pella, the capital of the ancient kingdom of Macedon, as the length in feet of the main building, equal with a measurement of 458 cubits.
It was also shown that there was a difference of '4' cubits in this measurement from the Greek and Megalithic cubit.

At Pella, the length of 458 cubits produced a number with a connection to the root of the golden ratio. Here, the root produces a number of 470.5.
It was also shown that the area reduced in the golden ratio and was connected to an anomalistic month with an average length of 27.554551 days.

Pella is considered as being built for Alexander the Great, who was born in 356 bc and ruled from 332 bc, and as such would suggest that the Rollright Stones were built sometime after 332 bc.
(Using the 12 and 2 could suggest splitting the circle in two about a vertical, this though just splits the stones with two numbers. It is also possible that as the 0.5 or ½ isn't used, then the 2 isn't used as the 12 splits the circle. 
If using an anomalistic month as 27.554551 days without the 0.5, then this could equate as 27 stones clockwise. At that stone, an angle of 74° reaches the northern most stone where the circle is split in two. This then splits the circle in three with the angle of 74°. This makes up part of the area number (221374) of the triangle, the 221 can then be that stone and the next two stones as they are in pairs, leaving a final stone at 88° or 2° away from 12).
The splitting of the circle about a 12 gives 34/23 stones, the angle to the city of Pella at maximum tilt, not including the 0.5 is 34°.
A rough distance between the two is 1761 miles which happens to be Khufu's pyramid perimeter, from Kasta tomb the circumference equated as 1570ft if subtracting the entrance of 196ft equated as the distance to the pyramids at Giza. It is possible that the ratios of the triangle were used for the two distances, with Giza/Pella as 1088kms and Pella/Rollright Stones as 1250kms, this left the 417 which might just be feet at 62° northeast.

It is possible that these monuments were constructed in this shape and with this number of stones to represent the numbers used at Pella.

Roman Amphitheatre of Uthina

Roman Amphitheatre of Uthina The Roman Amphitheatre of Uthina is located in Uthina , near Tunis, Tunisia .  Building for Uthina began in 40 BC and continued through to 135 AD. The amphitheatre may have been a later addition to what was already a large town.  Also located there were a fortress, cisterns, an aqueduct, a triumphal arch, a theatre, and a basilica with a circular crypt . Coordinates 36.608598,10.169214 Description The amphitheatre, partly buried, measures 113 by 90 meters. The arena measures 58 by 35 metres, giving surface areas of 7988 and 1539 square metres respectively.  There are four entrances, two main entrances at each end, with the seating area supported by three tiers of columns and arches. (Although these are no longer there, measurements and amphitheater descriptions rely on a complete building.) Measurements for the amphitheatre on site are 12 0 by 89 metres, with the arena measuring 67 by 36 metres. The surface areas measure 10680 an d 24...
