Roman Amphitheatre of Uthina The Roman Amphitheatre of Uthina is located in Uthina , near Tunis, Tunisia . Building for Uthina began in 40 BC and continued through to 135 AD. The amphitheatre may have been a later addition to what was already a large town. Also located there were a fortress, cisterns, an aqueduct, a triumphal arch, a theatre, and a basilica with a circular crypt . Coordinates 36.608598,10.169214 Description The amphitheatre, partly buried, measures 113 by 90 meters. The arena measures 58 by 35 metres, giving surface areas of 7988 and 1539 square metres respectively. There are four entrances, two main entrances at each end, with the seating area supported by three tiers of columns and arches. (Although these are no longer there, measurements and amphitheater descriptions rely on a complete building.) Measurements for the amphitheatre on site are 12 0 by 89 metres, with the arena measuring 67 by 36 metres. The surface areas measure 10680 an d 24...
Nympsfield Long Barrow
Nympsfield Long Barrow is considered a burial site located northwest of the village of Nympsfield in Gloucestershire.
It is thought to date to 2800 BC and is a scheduled monument.
Some people consider it connected to Stoney Littleton Long Barrow .
Coordinates
51.710252,-2.299706
Description
The tomb is angled at 17° northeast. It measures 5 metres wide by 10 metres long. Two large stones, which could be roof supports, occupy the center, with possibly three rooms off a main corridor.
Analysis
If the burial site was from 2800 BC, it would be angled 7.417° more. This would give it an angle of 24.41° northeast. 7.41675 + 17 = 24.41675.
There are other roofless tombs shown to align with celestial objects.
If considered connected to Stoney Littleton Long Barrow and using the angle of tilt, the difference is about 1°.
24.41675 - 23.435 = 0.98175
Moon
Comparing it to the Moon, like Stoney Littleton Long Barrow, the difference in location and the Moon's tilt produces the following:
51.710252° − 23.435° = 28.275252°
The Moon's visual size, as seen from Earth, is 0.5°.
28.275252 − 28.58 = -0.304748
This number represents centimeters in a metre.
51.710252 − 24.41675 = 27.293502
This is very near a sidereal month, which is 27.321661 days (decimal).
An angle of 7.388591° would give a sidereal month duration. The year would be 2782 BC.
7.388591 ÷ 1.55 = 4.7668
4.7668 × 1000 = 4766.8
4766.8 − 1985 = 2781.8
Conclusion
It is possible Nympsfield Long Barrow connects to Stoney Littleton Long Barrow, which was shown to date to 6402 BC. Using the tilt, Moon and coordinates, it shows that the burial site could date to 2782 BC.
People who constructed the second burial site at Nympsfield used numbers from Stoney Littleton long barrow, although Nympsfield connects to a foot and sidereal month.
It is possible that this type of connection directly relates to the numbers obtained. In this build, it would suggest feet per meter and month. This could suggest that it was built more recently but retains a connection to older builds. It is also not aligned at maximum tilt; its current angle.
Due to its uniqueness, and as part of the land clearing, it may be part of an old house on the site dating to the 1700s. Further along is Woodchester Mansion, built after 1858, and the two might be connected. This suggests it was built in the 1700s and 1800s as part of landscaping.
