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...

Amphitheater Pozzuoli 

Amphitheater Pozzuoli

Image in the public domain






The Flavian Amphitheatre is situated in Pozzuoli, Italy, built in 80 ad and is the third-largest Roman amphitheatre. It is located about 13kms west of Naples and 500m from the coast. The site was chosen at the nearby crossing of roads from Naples, Capua, and Cumae.


Coordinates  
40.825718,14.125678 


The amphitheatre is angled at 37° towards the northwest, and two measurements like from the Colosseum are 147m by 117m (482 by 384ft), with the arena floor measuring 72.22m by 42.33m (237 by 139ft)
The ratio of the building to the floor is 1.36. The angle, when built, would have been 2.953° less at 34.05°.


Area
π×117×147=54032.25m²
π×72.22×42.33=9604.08m²

54032.25×9604.08=518930051.58
518930051.58÷223=2327040

If considering that the measurements of the arena floor added then multiplied by two and subtracted from one side of Khufu’s pyramid, a number of 1.36 is achieved.
72.22+42.33=114.55
(114.55×2)−230.46=1.36

If considering for height, then using cubit for the height, which is known as 280 or 146.46m and applying the same ratio.
147+117=264
264-280=16
Subtracting so as to equal 13.6 difference and then subtracting from the accepted height, a number of the root of the golden ratio is achieved.
264-277.6=13.6
277.6×0.523=145.1848
145.1848−146.46=1.275
1.275÷0.523=2.43


Conclusion 
It can be considered as using metres for measurements when converting to cubits.
This also involves subtracting 2.4 from the number, but this could be the error, which is known as 24.3m.
When using different heights then different numbers are achieved. Considering that the numbers 2.4, root of the golden ratio, and 146.46m are numbers from Khufu’s pyramid, then these numbers could be correct.
The splitting of the amphitheatre as two segments allows for the 2nd calculation.
The two areas multiplied could equate to the number of stones in Khufu’s pyramid at 2.4 million, when using the number 223 from Saros.
By 80 ad, it was 111 years after victory over Egypt, but the Romans still occupied Egypt, and the use of Egyptian pyramid measurements could be considered as still in use. With this then the overall volume was the main theme, and it was produced from two volumes, which allowed lunar month to be included. The 1.275 number could be the golden ratio, but it could also be a ratio 114.55×1.275=146.05. 
This then goes to support an Egyptian pyramid theme in the build.
