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...
Drizzlecombe or Thrushelcombe is an area of Dartmoor in the county of Devon, England, containing a number of Bronze Age stone rows, cairns, and menhirs.
Within 1 or 2 kilometres of the area are the Yellowmead Stone Circles, Ringmoor Stone Row and Cairn Circle, Brisworthy Stone Circle, Great Trowlesworthy Tor, Ditsworthy Warren House, Gutter Tor, Eylesbarrow mine, and Down Tor Stone Circle.
Coordinates
50.485230,-3.985958.
Description
Drizzlecombe itself is very similar to Asseycombe stone rows; there is a long row of stones that follow a straighter line than Asseycombe, with a prominent stone at either end and a circular feature.
The stones are angled at 43° towards the southwest.
In this area of Dartmoor, there are other monuments and buildings, such as Down Tor Stone Circle, Shavercombe Falls, Eylesbarrow mine, Yellowmead Stone Circles, and Gutter Tor. Down Tor Stone Circle is similar to Drizzlecombe and Asseycombe.
Analysis
The stones are angled at 43° towards the southwest, and the elevation of the area is about 342 metres. This varies, as the site is on a slope. Similar to Asseycombe Stone Rows, there is a stone circle/cairn on the northern side.
The distance between the two tall stones is about 215 metres or 705 feet. The width of the circle is 23 metres or 75 feet.
If measurements are taken in feet, then the following applies.
The diameter of the circle is 75 feet and circumference is 235, this represent approximately 235 seconds difference in Earth's rotation. This is equal to its longitude as if in minutes. The elevation of the site in feet is 1122, and if divided by the length between the two large stones, 705 feet, it approximately equals the golden ratio. Also, two lines at 43°, 2×43, are similar to the elevation in metres, 342 rotated as a number.
1122÷705=1.59
1.59-1.618=0.03
2 × 43 = 342
235 ÷ 75 = 3.13
pi - 3.13 = 0.01
Conclusion
Within a couple of kilometres there are a number of other stone built structures, along with the Ditsworthy Warren House, Gutter Tor, and Eylesbarrow mine.
The latter of these suggest a similar thing to the Asseycombe Stone Rows which they were probably built more recently then Neolithic or Bronze Age.
The area suggests that there are ample stones and some were used for building houses and others used for land clearing in a unique way.
There is further support for a more recent use, and that is if measurements are taken in feet, it can be suggested that it represents an approximation.
The conclusion from using feet suggests the direction is towards the northeast and there is a link to a golden ratio and pi.
A 9πφ ratio has appeared before in ancient Egyptian builds; here it might suggest, "in the opposite direction is 9πφ." It is possible to find the angles of 45° and 47°. Although some stones might be missing, with an equal stone marking φ.
This suggests that to be accurate, it would take longer to construct, but this is just land clearing.
