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...

Tomb of Ramesses II

Tomb of Ramesses II





Ramesses II, also known as Ramesses the Great, was buried in Tomb KV7, located in the Valley of the Kings, Egypt. He was the son of Seti I and Tuya and reigned from 1279 to 1213 BCE. He constructed monuments at Abu Simbel, Abydos, Ramesseum, Luxor, and Karnak.


Coordinates
25.740776,32.601625


Description
Current measurements divide the tomb into three levels: level 1, the entrance corridor; level 2, the pillared chamber; and level 3, the burial chamber and rooms. 3D mapping of the tomb enables measurements to be taken.


Measurements
Entrance corridor;
22.90m by 2.61m /44 by 5 cubits
Floor area: 220 sq cubits

Opening in corridor
8.35m by 8.35m by 3.7m
Floor area: 70 sq m²
Volume: 259m³/1795 cubit³

Room off corridor
7.85×8.48×3.10 m
Floor area: 66.50 sq m
Volume: 206.4 m³/1442.5 cubit³

Room off corridor (2)
5.38×3.30×2.63 m
Floor area: 46.7 sq m
Volume 46.7 m³/326.4 cubit³


End of corridor
6.3×5.72×2.82
Floor area: 36 sq m
Volume: 101.6 m³/710 cubit³

1st room
13.15×13.86×6.37
1161 m³/8115 cubit³

Small room (1)
3.16×2.68×2.18
18.46 m³/129 cubit³

Small room (2)
2.65×3.34×2
17.7 m³/123.7 cubit³



Analysis
With an understanding of how measurements are taken, it is possible to state that the measurements for this tomb were made in cubits.
Some of these measurements are for sizing, and some are linked to a cubit with a connection to certain events or builds.

Although the end result of the calculation, in square metres for area or cubic metres for volume, does not immediately indicate an event or other builds, the total volume squared, minus 10, then divided by 360°, gives numbers that could be considered.
This could suggest the volume in terms of 360° or one rotation.

(From above)

0.046

8115
0.25

129
0.003

123
0.003

The total produces 0.5049 to four decimal points, or due to any errors 0.50. This is equal to 50%.


Conclusion
It was typical for the ancient Egyptians to use metres or cubits as measurements in buildings or tombs. If those measurements then aligned in area or volume with pharaoh's pyramid or tomb, that individual would be considered important.

In these measurements, using cubits and 360°, the total equals 50%. This could mean several things, such as that the tomb was used by two people at different times, or that another tomb connects to this one.

Another calculation could be astrological, where the total area is just divided by 360°, and the product is converted to tilt if less than one or left as a whole number if greater.

(From above)
0.6 387
5.0
4.0
1.0
2.0
22.5
0.36 231
Adding the two odd numbers, these are less than one. Then dividing by 1000 equals the root of the golden ratio. The root of the golden ratio connects to Khafre's pyramid. 

If the sum of two odd numbers, 618, is divided by the number 22.5, the result is approximately an anomalistic month, which is 27.554551 days.

387 + 231 = 618
618 ÷ 22.5 = 27.467
27.555 - 27.467 = 0.088

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?
