Tomb of Ramesses II

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. He was the son of Seti I and Tuya and reigned from 1279 to 1213 BCE. He constructed monuments at Abu Simbel , Abydos , Rame sseum, L uxor, a nd Karnak . Coordinates 25.740776,32.601625 Description Current measurements divide the tomb into three levels: level 1, the entrance corridor; level 2, the pillared chamber; and level 3, the burial chamber and rooms. 3D mapping of the tomb enables measurements to be taken.

Meini Gwyr




Meini Gwyr is a monument in Wales.
It is in the shape of a circle with a width of between 20 and 22 metres.


Coordinates 
51.906812,-4.703010


Description 
Grimes in 1938 measured the monument at 36.6m in diameter, and excavations showed that there was a narrow entrance to the west with no ditch surrounding the site, just a raised embankment. 
Two standing stones remain from a possible 17, one 1m and 1.7m high, respectively, standing 6.5m apart. 


Analysis 
Whether this was originally an entire circle can only be guessed at, excavations show locations of stones with an entrance directly opposite the sloping stone at just over 36°. 

The reason for not necessarily having an entire circle is that the two stones, although marked towards sunrise, depict the moon in two different phase locations. The upright represents a 'waxing gibbous' phase, and the sloping one a 'waning gibbous' (carved so as to appear the shape).


Calculations 
This monument is associated with the number 6455 and is used as days and years (a similarity to 4655 from Gravinis, and might have been interpreted as this).
The use of 6455 as a number of days is 17.7 years, which is 0.9268, which is a difference of 18.6 years, a moon's cycle.
0.926 is a number connected with a 1 km gnomon.

6455 ÷ 365.2425 = 17.673
17.673 - 18.6 = -0.927
The size of the circle could represent a year at 36.6 m, and height difference could represent obliquity, not needing a circle but a necessary measure for a year.
Obliquity × years = height difference
0.0001170731 × 6455 = 0.7557

Although this varies by 476 years from just 0.7 (a difference of 5.57 cm in height measurement). 

If considering sediment increase as roughly 1 foot/10,000 years, it is possible that variation is due to this.
Interest in the attraction of the site could be a reduction in hight.

Neolithic people rarely used dates and would use an angle of tilt or obliquity to date their monuments. The size or angles would hint at their date and meaning; in this case, it suggests "year" and moon location in two separate locations. Although this is the spacing and not the build year, the probable build year is the use of the number of days in 6455 years as a difference off a 28-day and 29.53-day month.
The 36° entrance connects the start location with its finish location on the sloping stone. This also depicts a moon phase. The 36° entrance is towards the northwest.


In this duration of time (6455 years), the moon would have completed 13 rotations per year, dividing by 28 days in a month and 29.53 days in a lunar month.

6455 − 1613.75 = 4841.25
4841.25 × 365 = 1767056.25
1613.75 × 366 = 590632.5
Total number of days = 2357688.75

Sidereal month
2357688.75 ÷ 27.32 = 86299.0025
Perennial calendar
2357688.75 ÷ 28 = 84203.17
Synodic month
2357688.75 ÷ 29.53 = 79840.459

Difference sidereal/synodic
86299.0025 - 79840.459 = 6458.543

Difference perennial/synodic
84203.17 - 79840.459 = 4362.711
4362.711 - 1985 = 2377



Conclusion 
The sidereal/synodic produces a number very similar to 6455, whereas a perennial/synodic produces a probable date of 2377 BC. The use of the number 6455 in multiple ways suggests it is a primer, with the other number as the date.


From another pairing of stones, the Lochmaben Stone, which holds the same theme and has been dated to 3000 BC, has shown that the two are connected. For this to be correct, a different way of interpreting 2377 is used, and this is also from Gravinis. The number 4655 is obtained from subtracting 855 from 5510. If this is applied with 2377, then 3133 BC is achieved.

5510 - 2377 = 3133

This then dates the two stones within twenty years of each other.
