Tomb of Ramesses IV The pharaoh Ramesses IV was buried in Tomb KV2, located in the Valley of the Kings, Egypt. The tombs of Ramesses II and VII are on either side. Ramesses died at the age of 27 in 1148 BC. He is connected to the Temple of Khonsu at Karnak. Coordinates 25.741530,32.602080 Description The tomb is of similar design to others in that it has a corridor to the burial chamber with side rooms. It is thought to be about 75 metres long and declines about 10 metres from the entrance. Chamber E, as the antechamber, has stars painted on the ceiling. Chamber K is built with side rooms, and the burial chamber J has a vaulted ceiling with astrological patterns along with the sarcophagus. Coptic monks were said to have lived in the tomb, and in the 19th century, explorers like Jean-François Champollion had camped there. Earlier, Romans were said to have left what is considered as graffiti in the tomb. Measurements These are the tombs' measurements in metres, including the a...
Dolmen Ouest de la Croix

Dolmen Ouest de la Croix is not far from the Dolmen de Tréal which is about 1km away towards the northwest in Bretagne, France.
With this monument, it is known that it started as a neolithic dolmen most probably facing towards the southwest.
It was probably a sculptured dolmen that represented a rock formation with a sunken Cairn, judging by the stones available, these are currently shaped in a semi circle facing south with a wooden footpath from the southwest and is about it's orientation when built.
This dolmen could of been dismantled and moved by owners of the Chateau du Val which is only 700m away soon after it was built in the 16th century as it was on their land but finding the stones of the dolmen far too cumbersome they just dismantled them. This was possibly due to it being near to their eastern road. The Dolmen de Tréal is still mostly intact and about the same distance away but in woodland.
Les Landes de Cojoux
The current angle between the three is 143°, the angle between Dolmen Ouest de la Croix and Dolmen de Tréal is 49° and because the coordinates at the location are 47.765484, -1.989342 then it is possible it was moved from a location that would give it an angle of 47.76°.
This would also reduce the angle to Les Landes de Cojoux to about 1°/2° but if this was 0° east/west at maximum tilt it could be suggested that this is a gnomon measurement at max tilt with an angle of 42° to the horizon.
Comparable with other Neolithic constructions, this could be considered as a probable date of 4200 bc, also representing its location at maximum tilt.

The Dolmen de la Croix-du-Breuil is different from the Dolmen Ouest de la Croix and is located further south at 45° 50′ 50″N, 1° 09′ 05″E.
It is also beside a road and is mostly intact and is comparable with the Dolmen Ouest de la Croix (image above, comparable to what it would have appeared as).
