DRUIDTEMPLE uses Pythagorean triangle with seven and nine megalithic yard measurements. DRUIDTEMPLE circle uses 3-4-5 Pythagorean triangle for construction Seven megalithic yards between base triangle and curvature Nine megalithic yards from base to top of circle
The Windmill Hill, Avebury uses a 3-4-5 Pythagorean triangle for construction — with seven megalithic yards between the base triangle and curvature, and nine from base to top. Rather than using pi for circles, these builders employed rational perimeters for egg-shaped forms instead. Socrates considered geometry worth 10,000 physical eyes because it deals with eternal truths rather than shifting appearances. The precision of these measurements reveals a people who understood geometric principles deeply enough to encode them in stone over 5,000 years ago.
