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...

Breeny More Stone Circle

Breeny More Stone Circle

Breeny More Stone Circle is described as an axial stone circle and National Monument located in County Cork, Ireland.

It is short of a circle and would be better described more as a row of stones with a further group adjacent to it, it could also be considered as a monument but it is also possible that there are some stones missing from it's original design.

Coordinates
51.741520,-9.375912

Description 
Due to the shape, this row and group of stones could be considered as two rectangles, outer as the row plus odd stones and inner as the four which are grouped together. They produce the following angles and measurements.
57° outer
64° inner

Best fit outer
48 ft x 18 ft
864 sq ft

Best fit inner
6.66 x 8.66 ft
57.6756 sq ft

(Is there a simple calculation or visual description for the monument?)

(1)
Using radians, as the 57.6756 number is near to 57.296 with a possible measurement inaccuracy, then dividing this number by seconds in a day gives radians÷100.

864×57.296=49503.74
49503.74÷3600=13.75104
13.75104÷24=0.57296


This could mean 1/100, in a triangle of 90° the 0.57296 as radians would equal 32.82832°
32.82832÷57.296=0.57296



From the perimeter, a measure 283.5208m is produced if subtracted from 360 as if degrees in a circle equals 76.4792°. Using this number divided by radians and then multipled by 100 gives a possible distance of 133 km at 76°.
76.4792÷57.296=1.332
1.332×100=133.2 kms

This distance and angle would put it just north of Ennis. In that area, there are multiple lakes with one group in the shape of the four stones. The other stones could be defined by some of the lakes there, but there are quite a few, which in turn could mean that some stones could be missing. 

(2)
Another possibility would be to use the inner and outer angles and apply this to the areas.
864÷57.296=15.0795
√(57.296)=7.5694

Or
57×864=49248
64×57=3648
49248÷3648=13.5
13.5-90=76.5


The latter gives the 76.5 number used for the angle, showing it could be an error check.

Also, the root of the coordinates at both maximum tilt and when built, produce.
√(51.7−9.38)=6.505
51.7−9.38=42.32

So assuming this was 6.505° ago, then its coordinates would have been.
45.2, -9.496.

40075×cos(51.74)=24815.68
68.9324/° latitude
40075×cos(45.2)=28238.22
78.4394/° latitude

A difference of 9.5 kms at 45.2 increases its longitude by 0.121.

√(45.2−9.496)=5.975
45.2−9.496=35.704


Obliquity
Assuming the difference between these two numbers is obliquity and measured from maximum tilt, then the following is produced.
6.505−5.9752=0.5298
(0.5298÷1.2)×10250=4525.375
4525.375−1985=2540.375

Here, a date of 2540 bc is produced


Conclusion
What seems like an elaborate monument centred around the coordinates 52.911354,-9.127157 near Ennis which derived from 83° north (76.5+6.5=83) which uses stones to represent lakes in that area and with 6.5° rotation aligns it at 76.5° where larger lakes of a similiar pattern exist, with the monument built in 2540 bc, seems to be correct.

An analogy would be a group of people moving and expanding in size inside that time. A monument would be fitting for such an ideology.

Along with the possibility that the numbers 24 and 15 could have been used as a directional marker when reaching the correct lake, due to the sea level rise and rainfall rivers and lakes could have be much larger in 2540 bc

This could also be interpretate as moving due to a volcanic eruption, which is known to have occurred twice in about 2500 bc.
In the article 'Dolmens of Spain' in particular the Dolmen de Guadalperal, it is shown as representing Mt.Vesuvius/Mt.Etna.
Dates for eruption are 2635 bc, 2497bc, 2474bc, and 2439 bc with the latter as a documented eruption. 
The Breeny More Stone Circle is thought to be accurate as it uses the root of the coordinate differences and is dated to 2540 bc, which is coincidentally exactly 100 years before the documented eruption.
This could possibly suggest that it is incorrect in the infavour for the earlier date.

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...
