Publications The Sahara geoglyphsPart 10. Symbol Orientation. Octagon and Nonagon.Among the orientations of SK symbols, corresponding to the angles of an octagon, the angle 112.5° prevails.
Symbol SK 6. Orientation 112.5°. Symbol SK 557. Orientation 112.5°. Symbol SK 803. Orientation 112.5°. Symbol SK 348. Orientation 112.5°. Symbol SK 906. Orientation 112.5°. Symbol SK 807. Orientation 112.5°. Symbol SKR 13. Orientation 112.5°. Symbol SK 339. Orientation 112.5°. Below are two symbols, whose orientation we have already considered. These are the symbols S 941 and S 1026. The orientation of the southeast beam of symbol S 941 corresponds to the pentagram angle of 144°, and the same beam of symbol S 941 is oriented along the hexagram angle of 150°.
The northeastern beam of the symbol S 941 corresponds to an octagon angle of 45°.
Геоглиф SK 1026
The northeastern beam of symbol S 1026 also corresponds to the octagon angle of 45°. The southeastern beam of symbol S 1250 corresponds to the octagon angle of 135°. The southeastern beam of symbol S 1563 corresponds to the octagon angle of 157.5°.
The orientation of symbol SKM 379 corresponds to the octagon angle of 67.5°.
The two images below show the orientation of symbols of the SS type corresponding to the angles of octagon. The following image shows a rectangular object AS 41, two sides of which are oriented according to the angles of octagon 22.5° and 112.5°.
Next, we turn to the orientations that correspond to the angles of a 9-gon — nonagon. Among these orientations, the angle of 100° prevails.
Symbol SК 942. Orientation 100° Symbol SК 189. Orientation 100° Symbol SК 1016. Orientation 100° Symbol SК 39. Orientation 100° Many other types of geoglyphs that have straight elements are also often oriented according to nonagon angles. The images below show a couple of typical examples.
Both beams of symbol S 252 are oriented to the angles of nonagon 60° and 160°, measured from the direction to the north. Thus, the angle between the rays is 100°. Moreover, the northeastern ray also corresponds to the hexagram angle of 60°.
The orientation of the direct element is close to the azimuth of 100°. In the next part, we are going to consider the azimuths of the directions between individual symbols. |
