Today I hope to discuss the unique geometric features of Sigiriya rock
I have in my hand a model of the Sigiriya rock
This is the model
This is what it looks like when we observe the Sigiriya rock from above
This is the large pond
This is the entrance to the Sigiriya Rock
This is where the Lion's Paw Terrace is located
If Sigiriya rock is to be identified as an aircraft, it must have a special buoyancy.
Does the Sigiriya rock really have a special geometric shape to create such a floating effect?
What is that geometric feature?
That is what we are discussing today
If we look at the rock in this way, we see a cross-section of the wings of an airplane. We call that shape an aerofoil
In addition, Sigiriya is built in such a way that the height gradually decreases from the highest point known as the palace grounds to the back of the rock when viewed from above.
In that sense, it also has shape of a cross-section of an airplane wing.
Here it is very clear, that the geometric features of Sigiriya rock are mainly formed in the shape of an aerofoil on both the Y axis and the Z axis.
