Tomb of Ramesses IV

 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...

Avebury Stone Circle

Avebury Stone Circle

Why was it built? Avebury is a Neolithic henge monument containing three stone circles around the village of Avebury in Wiltshire, England.
It is the largest megalithic stone circle in the world. It has been suggested that Avebury stone circle connects to the earlier neolithic Cotswold stone circle, a group of plain but shaped stones that marked altitude and areas of interest. These formed two circles, offset by 27°. It is unlikely that these connect with the location, but the understanding from Cotswold Stone Circle was followed through to this circle. The inner circles are 48m and 50m, 96% of each other, and the larger measured at 45° is 360-365m.
Of the three circles, the two inner ones are perfectly rounded. The northern circle (51.429485,-1.853646) has two circumference stones and it's centre remains, the southern circle (51.428042,-1.853390) has at least nine circumference stones with eight in a straight line inside this circle. The angle of these vertical stones is 11°, the angle between the two circles is 8°, an angle of 5° from the horizon connects the southern circle with a stone aligned to the vertical. Of the nine stones (circumference of southern circle), five are large and four are small, and of the vertical six are large and two small.


Analysis 
Using 11 again as root and 11,11 as cubed root, the following are produced.


Southern circle
Vertical -15,-2,(),8,20,29,40,51,57
13,(),12,9,11,11,6
13×(12×9׳√6)=2551.25
Circumference 3,16,28,41,54,65,78,89 13,12,13,13,11,13,11
√13+√13+13+12+13=45.2

Northern circle
This circle is incomplete and can hardly be a circle, but the angles between the stones produce a triangle of 60°/57°/0°. In a triangle of sides, 50m gives an area of 1150m² and perimeter of 155m.

Largest
The large circle in the segments, as found today, there are 3,4,22, and 17 stones accordingly. From the outer southern circle, a 45 number was produced and could be used as a 45° angle, which could split the circle (this could be from a number of points but using the southern circle centre).
From a total of 46 stones, 11 are towards the right, leaving 35 to the left (1:3.182 split). This splits the large circle, about three parts to one part, and as a circle, it could be considered as pi. As a ratio 11÷35=0.31428, a number one tenth of π. (error 0.0013)

When taking the areas of three circles, π is represented as one circle divided into three, with the addition of the differences of the smaller circles from the larger.

The larger at 365m
(π-3=0.14159)
182.5²×π=104634.67031
48²×π=7238.22947
50²×π=7853.98163

1÷14.45584=0.06917
1÷13.3225=0.07506
0.07506+0.06917=0.14424
(3+0.14159)-(3+0.14424)=0.003

Using the numbers 48m, 50m, and 368m produces the smallest error 0.0003. Reducing the circle sizes to 47.5m, 49.5m, and 365m produce a similar result and keeping the 365, which also suggests a circle.

47.5
104634.67031÷7088.21842=0.06774

49.5
104634.67031÷7697.68740=0.07357

0.06774+0.07357=0.14131
3+0.14131-π=0.0003




Conclusion
The 0.2 in the 45.2° doesn’t matter much due to stone spacing also reducing the smaller circles in the final area, showing that it is particularly the area differences that matter, and it is in the shape of three circles, not two circles and a triangle. This isn’t very clear and also might have been built this way, although depictions show it as three full circles, mostly from 1876, with many different hypotheses as to its purpose.

The splitting of the circle at 45° is questionable, as there are three circles anyway, so making three and the difference in areas. There was also no use of the angles produced (8, 5, 11), maybe hinting at the more accurate 47.5/49.4/365. The number 0.31428 (1 tenth of pi) (from splitting the circle) would be accurate enough, which is based on the total number of stones. This then could be multiplied by the () number, giving a 10, but this requires an offset to the 20th century.
Not offsetting by 7° gives 2.43; multiplied by 10 doesn’t give an answer, but by 13 is 0.02 off π. So this can be read forward or not forward by the use of the north circle, which produces a horizontal currently. 7° ago may represent a constellation that is triangular in shape. As with other circles with stones missing, the implication is that some detail is missing, but with Avebury, that was the builders' intention. Fully fitted with stones, there are just three circles; when applying area, it produces an answer for π.
A possible date of 2551 BC is expected, this being built about the time of Stonehenge.

When the sizes of Avebury's stones are collated into groups of large or small and a value of 1 = large and 0 = small is applied, the following are produced.

North circle 100
South circle 111011000
Large circle stones 3,4,22,17

(111)
                                    1011
1000000010101011111110
                                           11111110001110101

Moving the numbers until they align could represent the common denominator of 111, which is 1496. 111 is the three stones. The north and south smaller circles seem not to fit into this pattern, but applying root to the north circle produces 10, and the southern, when divided by the common denominator of 1496, produces an angle value. This equates to 2559 BC, a difference of 8 years from 2551 BC.

√(100)=10
√(111011000)=10536.17577 10536.17577÷1496=7.04289 7.04289÷1.55=4.54380
4.54380×1000-1985=2559 bc

The constellation is probably the Winter Triangle, with vertices at Sirius, Betelgeuse, and Procyon, which are about 2° apart. Due to their accuracy, a less likely possibility is the Summer Triangle, whose stars are Altair, Deneb, and Vega.

Menhir de Manemeur

 Menhir de Manemeur The Menhir de Manemeur or menhirs de Mané-Meur is a menhir in the town of its name in Quiberon, a commune in the French department of Morbihan.  The menhirs in and around this commune can be individually identified as Menhir de la Pointe des Gueritte and Allée couverte, Menhir de Beg Er Goh Lannec, Menhir de Manemeur, and Menhir de Beg Er Goh Lannec. Cooridnates 47.481167,-3.136861 Description This menhir is at a junction in the village, while three others are on the west coastal path. The Alignements de Kerbourgnec are about 3 kilometers north of the village, and the Dolmen de Renaron can be found about 4 kilometers north, but it contains only one stone. The menhirs de Mané-Meur are identified as the three on the coast and not the tall stone in a garden as identified on Google Maps. Analysis Two stones of these menhirs are 97 meters apart to the west, and the smaller stone is located at 83° towards the southeast. These are 250 meters away from the village....

Tomb of Seti I

Tomb of Seti I  The tomb of Seti I, also known as KV17, is located in the Valley of the Kings. The pharaoh Seti I died in 1279 BC. His tomb was discovered by the archaeologist and explorer Giovanni Belzoni in 1817. Coordinates 25.740031, 32.601998 Description Seti I had many buildings built, which included the Temple of Seti I in Abydos. The tomb KV17 consists of 17 chambers, corridors, and side rooms and is considered one of the largest. There is a well near the entrance of the tomb; the corridor descends into the tomb and is designed similarly to other tombs. Decorations are found throughout most of the tomb. The tomb and side chambers are on the level of the well, with a further corridor that ends in a room at a lower level. (The measurements used are given in official documents) Total area of tomb: 649.04 sq m / 2373 sq cubits Burial chamber width: 13.19 ft / 25.22 cubits Distance to burial chamber: 290 ft / 88.382 m / 169 cubits Distance to the end of the tomb: 570 ft / 173.74...
