In the previous publication «Geodesy of meridians» the regularities found in an arrangement of meridians of known historical objects were described. It became clear that meridians of such constructions, as the Great pyramid, Tiwanaku, Theotiuacan, monuments of Easter Island and Vera Island, and sacred rock Uluru in Australia are located relatively each other with a step to multiple 10 degrees. Meridians of these objects form system, in which longitudes of separate objects are a symmetry axis for other meridians.

As it is known all meridians, unlike latitudes, have identical length and pass through planet poles. All meridians are Big circles or the ortodromias connecting on the shortest distance Northern and Southern poles.

In this article it will be a question of interaction of latitudes of the same historical objects in which arrangement even more interesting regularities allowing with full confidence to speak about existence of system in an arrangement of the most considerable and monumental constructions of an antiquity were found.

Construct a Geodesic Dome

This video explains how to construct a model of a geodesic dome from card and paper. Some dome history and theory is also included. A good resource for teaching structures and mechanisms.



This animation presents the geometry that is the basis of many of Fuller's key ideas and concepts. At the beginning, twelve spheres are packed as closely as possible around a single central sphere. As the spheres shrink and disappear, they generate a polyhedron in which all edges and all radii are of equal length. This shape is what Fuller called a vector equilibrium. One of the characteristics of a vector equilibrium is its ability to contract by folding in on itself. The animation demonstrates how this simple geometric shape can be transformed to create several complex polyhedra. Next, it produces a different version of a vector equilibrium that Fuller called tensegrity—short for a stable structure of tensional integrity. In the last part of the animation, a map of the entire globe is transferred onto the vector equilibrium, which unfolds to produce a flat map of the earth made from six squares and eight triangles. Unlike conventional world maps, Fuller's vector equilibrium map represents the world with minimal distortions to the relative size of the continents.
