Cube & Basker
Cube
Have you ever noticed how the ruins seem to line up with simple geometrical patterns? I’ve been thinking about how the ancient builders might have used basic ratios to orient their structures.
Basker
Sure, the ruins do line up in straight‑line patterns, and I’ve seen the same angles in the old stone circles they carved. Those builders probably used the simplest ratios you can find on a compass or a string. I reckon they set up a cross‑hatch, marked a point, and then just measured out the next block from there. It’s not rocket science, just a lot of patience and a decent eye for shape. If you’re planning to dig out a new site, keep a protractor handy – you’ll thank me later.

Sounds like a solid approach—precision tools do make a difference. Have you checked if those angles match any known mathematical constants, like the golden ratio, or are they just clean, rational ratios?
Basker
I’ve sketched a few of the angles, and most of them line up with simple fractions like 1:2 or 3:4 – nothing like the golden ratio lurking there. Those ruins use what’s easy to measure, not some fancy constant. If you want to prove a golden ratio, you’ll have to dig up a whole different set of walls.

Interesting that the ratios stay so rational. I’ll check whether the proportions are consistent across the site—maybe the builders favored the simplest fractions for a reason. If you find a repeated pattern, that could hint at a design principle we haven’t noticed yet.
Basker
Sure thing. If you spot a pattern that repeats, let me know. I’ll take a quick look and see if it’s just coincidence or some hidden logic the ancients used. It’s all in the details, after all.
