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...
Temple of Hephaestus
The Temple of Hephaestus, also known as the Theseion, is a temple located in Athens, Greece.
The temple is from the Doric order of Greek temples similar to the one at Paestum. It is situated on the northwest side of the Agora of Athens, on top of the Agoraios Kolonos hill.
Construction started in 449 bc and was completed in 415 bc, similar to the Parthenon, which was started in 447 bc and completed in 432 bc.
Coordinates
37.975698,23.721334
Analysis
The angle of the temple is 13° towards the northwest with the number of pillars as 6 by 13 (total 34).
If using the completion date of 415 bc, then the tilt angle would be 3.72°. This angle can be converted into a fraction with a base of 25 (this could be considered as 5²).
415 bc = 3.72° or 3×(18/25) or (93/25)
Length temple
13.71m by 31.78m
(30.19 by 70 Greek (megalithic) cubics 0.45405)
Area temple
435.7m²
(2113 cubits²)
Length base
37m by 15m
(81.5 by 33 Greek (megalithic) cubics 0.45405)
Area base
555m²
(2690 cubits²)
If using the area of the base as 2690 megalithic cubits and dividing by the length as 37m and by 3 (from 3.72°) then considering the answer as feet this number is converted to metres giving a number 273m which could be considered as 3.72°.
2690÷37=72.70
2690÷3=896.67
896.67×30.48=27330.4
27330.4÷100=273.304
If 13° is also considered as a fraction in base 25, it would be 325÷25.
13° = 325/25
Multiplying the angle from what it is to the difference when built gives 30225 and dividing by the area in metres gives 54.459, which is connected to obliquity. Obliquity for the year when considered as being built is 0.2341°. (The following shows that the ratio connects to obliquity but not 0.25).
93×325=30225
30225÷555=54.459
2400÷10250=0.234146341
If volume is considered as being either measured as the height for the columns or overall height, then at 10m high, it would be 5550m³, dividing this volume by obliquity would give 23703.
This, though, is the base. The temple would be 4357m³, divided by obliquity, and would give 18608m³.
If considered the circumference at that location, which is at 37.97° latitude, it would be 31592.45kms, a height that connects to this conversion would be 14.5m.
cos(37.97)×40075=31592.45
555×10=5550
5550÷0.2341463415=23703
cos(37.97)×40075=31592.45
555×10=5550
5550÷0.2341463415=23703
4357÷0.2341463415=18608
31,592.45÷0.2341463415=134926.07
134926.07÷40075=3.3668
cosh(3.3668)=14.5m
The ratio of circumference differences is 1.33.
Conclusion
It seems quite typical of the ancient Greeks to use area, angle of building tilt, volume, and coordinates to decide on the building's dimensions. It has been shown that the Parthenon used these measurements but were more complex.
For two buildings built in the same area by the same people, within years of each other could be considered as the same measurements could have been used, and these were both metres and the megalithic cubit.
It is possible that for the base they used the latitude (which is at maximum tilt), this would make it 0.97m longer and alter the above numbers, for the longitude from the same location as in the 21st century then the number is equal to 20 plus 3.72.

Using the measurements for the temple gives alternate numbers, which are unconnected to the coordinates, tilt, or obliquity at that location.

Although from the ratio 1.33 (1⅓) it shows that the circumference at that location divided by this ratio, which is then subtracted from obliquity, gives 23.46° (tilt at maximum, sometimes shown as 23.5°). The 18608 divided by 1000 could be Major/Minor standstill.
31592÷1.3333=23695
23695÷1000=23.695
23.695−0.234146341=23.46
18608÷1000=18.6
The significance of this ratio 1.33 or 4/3 is that it is the ratio of a circle to a sphere or a circle of radius 1 with a sphere of radius 1.
π×1.3333=4.19
The angle at maximum tilt has been shown to be between 23.43 and 23.5°.
Another possibility exists and connects to Paestum on the island of Sicily. The city was renamed in 273 bc in the aftermath of the Pyrrhic War, where the Greek cities of Southern Italy submitted to Rome. The temple of Paestum is in the same design and build as the Temple of Hephaestus with a similar number of pillars, the condition of that temple is also similar when compared to the others, the temple of Paestum was built around 250-273 bc.

This, though, requires that the Temple of Hephaestus was built later, or the temple of Paestum was built with reference to this temple with the battle coincidentally occurring in 273 bc.
