Neues zur Himmelsscheibe von Nebra. Eine komplexe geometrische Konstruktion

Abstract

The target of the research was to find a geometrical construction that would reveal a relation between all objects on the SkyDisc. This construction has been discovered and registered. It presumably developed within three periods: in period I a sun, a crescent moon and 26 stars were fixed; in period II seven stars and two horizons followed; in period III a ship was added. In period II three stars and –not before the end of this period- the left horizon disappeared.
The objects have a relation to 16 circles, whose centres are situated on six straight lines. These, together with further eight straight lines, form a complex “network” of a coordinate system, independent straight lines, parallels, tangents, perpendiculars, triangles, isosceles triangles with right angles and angles of 23° (inclination of the ecliptic), 66° (inclination of the axis of the earth), 51° (NL; celestial equator on the earth and the place of discovery), 54° (NL; calculated location of observatory), 82° (angles to the points of solstices), 90° (axis of coordinates, triangles). During all three periods one straight line is “active”; it separates the sun from the crescent moon, the -in the originally existing- 26 stars into 2 x 13 stars, today 30 stars into 16 + 14 stars, the two horizons, one angle (51°) from another angle (54°) and the constructively completed ship into two parts of equal length in the keel line.
