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...

La Venta

La Venta

Image in the public domain

La Venta is a pre-Columbian archaeological site of the Olmec civilization located in the present-day Mexican state of Tabasco. 

The Olmec were one of the first civilizations to develop in the Americas, and it was thought their spread through 1800 bc through to 200 ad was said to influence Mesoamerica culture.

There are a number of Colossal Heads on site, some of which have been moved to the Parque-Museo La Venta.

Coordinates
18.103490,-94.040972


Description
There are two ways or possibilities of describing La Venta, (1) a few sculpted heads and various stones remain of a long distance civilization who moved for whatever reason, (2) only a few sculpted head and various stones were ever produced with the pyramid being roughly shaped from the landscape following the only pyramids existing in 1800 bc, that of the Pyramids of Giza.


Analysis
It has been shown that there was a time when the Mesoamericas didn't follow European or Middle Eastern numbering units until it was shown that they were copying the numbers from European builds, possibly from interaction.
This would refer to the Caral Civilization or Norte Chico Civilization who were a complex pre-Columbian-era society from 3500 bc who didn't include tilt angle into their builds. At those locations, it was shown that they made reference to maximum tilt but not angle away, which would usually give the date (although angle away minus 20 gives the angle they used). Also there is a possibility that the Norte Chico site isn't as old as 3500 bc but built after 700 bc but also more likely 900-1200 ad because of a connection with modern day degrees, latitude and longitude.

Assuming the builders chose the location so it had a connection with the Moon, there could be a connection to the Minor standstill of 18.134°, the difference is 0.03051°.
18.134-18.103490=0.03051
As the number is less than Minor standstill tilt, it is short 0.03051° and can directly connect with tilt.
This makes it 19.68 years short of reaching the number 18.134 for Minor standstill.
0.03051÷1.55=0.01968
0.01968×1000=19.68

It is also possible that the major standstill is included and might be short from a certain distance, or the Moon node is included as 18.6 years.
18.6−18.103490=0.49651

0.49651−0.4651=0.03141
Rounding these numbers up (0.031) makes a difference of 5m/s from the rotation or 9m/s if using 0.03051°.
In a triangle of 1° and length 1968, the half perimeter is 1985, if using 0.49651° it reduces to 1976, which is 9 units short of 1985.


Conclusion
There is a connection between these builds as have been stated and builds after 900 ad tend to follow European numbers. There is also a connection with the use of not using tilt as a prominent dating measure but instead incorporating the alternative angle somewhere in the build.
It can also be said that they are accurate, and so as a subtraction from the equatorial rotation, it can be assumed that the site was chosen intentionally so as to depict a pyramid connected with the Minor Standstill.
The difference from 1985 is small and also becomes 0.031 if rounded up.

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."

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?
