Tomb of Ramesses II Ramesses II, also known as Ramesses the Great, was buried in Tomb KV7, located in the Valley of the Kings, Egypt.

Glaner Braut is a historical landmark just outside the town of Wildeshausen, Germany, named after the town of Glane and Braut, meaning bride in German.
It is thought to be a Neolithic grave built between 3500-2800 bc, although only one body, from the Iron Age, was found there along with pottery.

Four separate stone monuments exist within the site. The largest is aligned currently at 10° with the slightly smaller at 60°; two further monuments are aligned north and south of the main one.

Coordinates 
52.929785, 8.373635

Glaner Braut, from the circular monument to the south, aligns with the two main structures, giving angles with their angular spacing distances. A further circular monument north of Glaner Braut also aligns similarly; both align at 5°.

South monument
-89, 46, 31, 16
45, 15, 15

45 × 15 × 15 = 10125
10125 - 10250 = -125

North monument
76, -55, -61, -45
49, 6, 16

49 × 6 × 16 = 4704
4704 - 1985 = 2719

Multiplying the two numbers:
10125 × 4704 = 47628000
47628000 × π ≈ 149627775

Semi-major axis:
149598023 – 149627775 = 29752
Average orbital speed:
29780
Ratio: 0.656208°
At location:
cos(52.927°) × 40075 ≈ 24158.5
Angle × length:
(10 × 50) + (60 × 27) = 2120



What seems like a possible date can be considered the semi-major axis multiplied by π, and when subtracted from current measurements, produces a number very near the current average orbital speed.

The multiplication by π suggests a circle. Although an orbit is rarely round, the difference from the current semi-major axis gives an orbital velocity, the two being connected. A length of year might not be necessary if these are considered accurate. It also could not be used with π as the shape isn't round. Something like a polynomial whose roots equal the semi-major axis and whose vertex equals the major axis.

Another consideration would be to use circumference, obliquity, latitude, or ratio. The ratio (1985 + 20 + 3600, interpreted as the year of maximum tilt, maximum tilt, and one hour in seconds) suggests knowing the answer. Multiplying the circumference at that location by the ratio: 24158.5 × 0.6562 = 15853. This number, in minutes, is equal to 11 days, 13 minutes. Eleven is 5 less than 16 (16° lowest angle, 5° smaller north/south monuments; normally this would be hours/minutes).

Assuming they measured from the lowest orbital point, this would put precession at about 84/85 days or 83.45°, or 5 hours 33 minutes 49 seconds, making it 16 hours 46 minutes 49 seconds. Using right ascension to find a possible constellation.

Ursa Major

α Ursae Majoris
Right ascension 11h 03m 43.67152s
Declination +61° 45′ 03.7249″

Polaris
Right ascension 02h 31m 49.09s
Declination +89° 15′ 50.8″

Eta Ursae Minoris
Right ascension 16h 17m 30.28696s
Declination +75° 45′ 19.1885″ 

Epsilon Ursae Minoris
Right ascension 16h 45m 58.24168s
Declination +82° 02′ 14.1233

Drift of Epsilon
+19.47×4704=0.0254°


Neither plus nor minus is exactly the number, but about 0° 1' 31.59" either way. A possible interpretation of precession a few hours either way could reduce this further. The other stars connect slightly to their separation angles, making Epsilon Ursae Minoris the star and constellation most likely to connect with.
A nearer possibility is RW Ursae Minoris, which flared up as a supernova in 1956. If drift is removed, the two match almost exactly. This could be because it is a binary with a small drift and may have gone supernova 4700 years ago.

The supernova is 1 arcsecond off, but this relies on precession; obliquity could also be used, but because there is a connection to other stars' declinations, it is probably the star Ursa Minor. The number 1 ÷ 0.6562 is also equal to 1.523, or 1 + 0.523, about the time that the Egyptian royal cubit was thought to be used, along with its connection to pi and the golden ratio, with maximum tilt/year and 3600.

Bachwen Dolmen

Bachwen Dolmen The Bachwen Dolmen burial chamber is located near Clynnog-fawr, Caernarfon, Wales. A number of cupmarks exist on the monument, it is notably wedge shaped and with this points out to sea at an angle of 28° towards the northwest. The support stones support this wedge on the sides so are also at 28°, the elevation is 24m. Coordinates 53.018891,-4.375356 Possibilities  There are three possible explanations for this chamber, (1) it is angled so as to align with the Major standstill or (2) it aligns with tilt and angle away for date or (3) two numbers are used and connects with a date. (1) The Major standstill is currently 28.725°, for it to be this, there must be a further stone to give Minor standstill, difference in between or 0.725° as it isn't measurable to that accuracy. (2) More likely it is maximum tilt 20° and 8° tilt for that year. 8÷1.55=5.1613 5.1613×1000=5161.3 5161.3-1985=3176.3 bc 8° equates as 3176 bc. (3) The only numbers used are 28 and 24, from ...
