Cracker, if i took a perfectly straight board and laid it parallel to the arches, and then laid another board down.....precisely perpendicular to this board........and then laid a compass down where the boards intersect......... What would the compass read in degrees for the direction the perpendicular board is pointing?

Well, then.....this whole troll job is based on a fraudulent foundation.

Because compasses point to something called magnetic north in this hemisphere. So, basically, your calculations are based off a point up in the Yukon territory somewhere.... Which is nowhere near True North.

To find True North, you have to correct the compass reading for " Magnetic Variation".

Sorry. Myth exploded.
