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...

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.

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." The tomb was archaeologically excavated in the 1920s.

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?
