Author's note.


Were there is no intention to define history, a common theme of number usage runs through the monuments.
This is such that the theme can support a date along with the date being derived from the usage of an astrological alignment, mathematical usage, or cryptography on the monument.
Each falls into then out of favour throughout history until cryptography's use increases in about 1259 bc along with the use of all themes already conceived.
Cryptography has been used since Avebury was erected in about 2550 bc, where it defined primers and circle segments, and other stone circles used their stone's alignment at a certain angle to produce equations. The use of mathematical constants as a theme to a monument was particularly in favour from 2700 bc, before astrological alignments were favoured with the use of cup and ring marks giving way for lesser capable individuals to express their understanding onto stones.

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 ...
