Ancient Roman fortress: The architecture is perfectly perpendicular to the Sun.

Researchers from the Politecnico di Torino University in Italy had an amazing discovery. That is the Hardknott ancient Roman fortress in England today: their doors are arranged so that sunlight on the solstice and winter solstice creates an amazing light effect, from which memories The shortest day and the longest day of the year, while showing respect to the gods of the sun and sky.

This ancient square fortress has surprised many scientists. In the study published in the journal Philica, researchers revealed that the Romans designed and built this fortress so that on the day of the solstice the Sun would line up with doors in the northeast and southwest. , reflecting light to the other two directions, and on the winter solstice, the southeast and northwest part will illuminate.

The accuracy of the defensive fortress, built during the reign of Emperor Hadrian, was so perfect that scientists had to use special software to calculate the angles created by sunlight on days. summer solstice, winter solstice. Surprisingly, these Roman engineers were able to perform calculations and build this defensive work without the modern technical tools of today.

This ancient architecture was built by Roman soldiers and workers around 138 AD, and like many other works in Britain, Emperor Hadrian ordered the construction of this building. Although the fortress has been severely destroyed and is now a mere ruin, this ancient Roman project could contain 500 Roman soldiers and workers.

Emperor Hadrian was a very interesting Roman Emperor. In fact, he was the first Roman emperor to declare himself gay. He was a beloved public emperor despite his reign of overflowing with irregularities.

Hadrian's Castle is one of the most famous works of the Roman Empire in England; This wall has an initial length of 117.5 km while the width of the wall depends mainly on the construction materials available in the surrounding area. The construction of the wall was deployed in 122 AD, and was basically completed in the next 6 years.

This fortress has been added to the list of works that show perfect accuracy with the Sun. Although history has shown us that the ancient Romans were architects and talented people, researchers still had difficulty explaining how ancient builders were about to locate Positioning these buildings to such an accuracy, an accuracy that we humans now need to support the computer simulation and the delta view from above.

Why do the builders give up so much effort to locate the ancient fortress in such a mysterious way. Although the researchers speculate that this work is to pay homage to the Sun Gods and the sky, the mystery is more ' how '. Like other cultures before Rome, buildings were arranged in strange forms, creating light effects, following the movements of stars, planets and other celestial bodies.

Such findings open up a lot of questions about the ancient societies that once lived on Earth, such as why countless architectures were established according to the position and trajectory of the stars, they collected Where and after all this knowledge, why these works are arranged in the present way, and most importantly, why this model is repeated in many cultures from Central America for to Asia, on every continent on Earth.
