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...

Leaning Tower of Pisa

Leaning Tower of Pisa

Image in the public domain


The Leaning Tower of Pisa is the campanile or freestanding bell tower of the cathedral of the city of Pisa, built in 1173 ad. The tower is situated behind the Pisa Cathedral and is the third-oldest structure in the city's Cathedral Square after the cathedral and the Pisa Baptistry. It is decorated with Gothic art, gargoyles, and religious depictions.

The tower began to lean during construction in the 12th century due to soft ground that could not properly support the structure's weight. It worsened through the completion of construction in the 14th century. By 1990, the tilt had reached 5​½ degrees. The structure was stabilized by remedial work between 1993 and 2001, which reduced the tilt to 3.97 degrees.


Coordinates
43.722971,10.396662


Dimensions
Height 55.86m
Width 16.33m
Volume 10457m³
The volume is made up of the total volume, when divided by π a number of 3328 is produced.
1111.42+9345.27=10456.69
10457.69÷π=3328

Angles
The Cathedral is angled at 0.5° extra at maximum tilt, a triangle between the three have the angles of 9°/81°/90°, although this appears as if 9.62° from a 1km gnomon but with a length between as 189m, it is though more likely this is just 9° with the other side's length as 29.935m.
9=π/20
81=9/20π
90=π/2

Alternative 
If the 0.5° is subtracted, then the angles become 8.5°/81°/90.5°, 81° stays as 9/20π the other side reduces as 28.28m.
The area, though divided by 48, is equal to 55.68 and is 0.18m short of the measured height of the tower.
2673÷48=55.68
The 48 might be connected, as the side by the 81° (28.28m) plus 20, which leaves the 9 (8.5+0.5).
If using 48.28, then the difference from 55.86 becomes 0.5 and equals the angle offset east/west of the cathedral.
55.86-55.36=0.5

Conclusion
The numbers 1111.42/π/3328 have appeared before from Pyramid of the Sun Teotihuacán site, as it represented Sun/Moon separation. The ratio of the site's tilt/distance was 1111.42.
This could show that the Pyramid of the Sun Teotihuacán site was built after the Leaning Tower of Pisa had started. The seven floors also correspond to the 4 and 3 used but also with π which is part of the volume of a sphere equation (4/3π r³).

The plan for the site might not have been special but was delayed and discussions about it reached the Aztecs, it is also possible that as it was built after the Cathedral and the Pisa Baptistry of the same stone and design it was in most part completed shortly after 1173 ad.
