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...

Pyramid - Construction Ratios

Pyramid - Construction Ratios
CC BY-SA 3.0


















With the construction of the Giza Pyramids, was there anything more to it than just a build ratio of 5.5×7 giving different slopes of between 51°/53°?


It has been shown that the connection for pi and golden ratio in a circle is volumetric with a ratio of √φ. The connection to π and φ in a standing wave (this is included as it connected to pi÷5=36° inside a circle).
2×cos(π÷5)=φ
φ=√((5+√5)÷(5-√5))

Standard Measurements 
2 cubits as a length are equal to 1.046m, a standard unit of measure (φ÷√2) has a ratio of 16.5:1 with the φ.
1.046−1.144=0.098
1.618÷0.098=16.5

The φ ratio, π and cubit connections for a φ circle of radius 1.618.
Area= (φ÷(2 cubits-(φ÷√2)))÷2=8.22
Area of two circles plus separation distance
2((φ÷(2 cubits-(φ÷√2)))÷2)+(3÷60)=16.5
A ⅓ of a 108° shape has a value of one.
(πφ÷5)−(1÷60)=1
Circumference of a circle is 2πr but including the φ is,
Circumference= 1÷(π-φ²)×5.32

Pyramids
In a triangle (a pyramid) with sides 1.618 and slope 51.34° (Menkaure's pyramid), the area is approximately √φ and perimeter 10 cubits. If this was 1.618m, then the error off would be 1.91 cms, and the base would be 2m.
Increasing the slope in factors of ×10 would increase the area by 10².

At slope=φ the area=√φ and the base=2

In a triangle with a 51.867° slope (Khufu's pyramid), the ratio gives a difference of 3182 or 100 × 31.82 number.
The slope of 1.618 is much nearer to an area of √1.618 and perimeter of 10 cubits.
The √1.618×½base is equal to the height.
√(1.618)×115.15=146.47m
Also, the best angle to keep a φ is 51.827°, 0.04° less than it has been measured at, at the slope length it is a difference of 13 cms.



A cubit to a pyramid ratio, this is Khufu's pyramid,
(16÷5−0.523)+(16÷5+0.523)=6.4
With
16÷5=3.2
3.2+3.2=6.4

From Nabta Playa, the numbers as sums produce two numbers, 9.128 and 2.68. These applied in the same ratio equals 1.43. (9.128+√(2.68))÷(9.128−√(2.68))=1.43
These then connect in the ratio.
The value of (31.82÷100)×π=1 this equates to the % size of the pyramid shafts to the constellation of Orion. (√((5+√5)÷(5−√5)))÷(π×0.36)=1.43
(√((5+√5)÷(5−√5)))×(31.82)=0.05

In construction, these numbers would have been applied in the following ways. Applying these factors to pyramids, the lower blocks on Khufu's pyramid are 1×1×2.5 in metres, the CoG=1.43634m with a Perimeter of= 3.28284.
For a 1×1 block in metres, if the 2.3 metric ton blocks (1000kg) would actually be 99 cms and 5.6 cms off from 2 cubits, then the measurements used for density and equation would be,
2.323 sandstone
2.692 granite
Volume=mass÷density

The construction process was not limited to stones being of the same dimensions. 
In building two different ways were used, (1) a foreman would use a predetermined measure length for choosing stones that arrived from quarries, (2) the height of stones were predetermined at quarries and measured in ratios. The casing stones and sandstones for the outside would adhere to smaller tolerances. The slopes would later be carved to an angle of 51-53° with similar coloured mortar being used in binding.

There are various measurements for the casing stones, but using the numbers (link below) 685mm x depth 860mm x height 546mm x length of sloping side 612mm.
For these stones with a slope of 612mm, can be considered as a block and triangle. 
The block is 0.476m×0.476m and a triangle of 0.476m×0.385m×0.612m.
This gives a side area of 1.14m against a slope of 51°, although with a height of 0.546m, the slope increases to 54°.
Width/height 685×546
Depth 860
Slope 612
Area (0.685×0.546)×0.532×10=1.99
Depth 0.861×0.532=1.618
Slope 0.612×0.532×10=3.2

Khufu's pyramid casing stones are said to be in ratios of 1×1.33×2.66 instead of 1×1×2.
The volume multipled by density gives weight, but divided gives one plus a cubit.
3.5378×2.323=8.22 tons
3.5378÷2.323=1.523

Using exact measurements for Khafre's pyramid for slope and construction with measurements in cubits, then using an overall ratio of 7 by 5.5, gives an angle of 51.843°.
This shows that although proportions internally were 7 by 5.5 with the slope of the steps, the casing stones could vary slightly, and the difference of the final angle is very near to √φ.

Slope= 342.97322
Height= 274.3786
Base= 205.7839
Inclination=53.13°

Considering that these are the current day measurements with only a few casing stones left, the different proportions of 10.46/7 (5.23/7) could have been a possibility in construction.

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?
