It appears that they used face diameter (38.33m) as the criteria to support their claim. To compare it to the other sundials on our list, we need to convert this to area. This is 1153m sq. This puts it behind Jaipur's 1932m sq. but slightly ahead of Disney's 1039m sq. Kitt Peak, by this criteria is left in the dust at 685m sq.
