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...

Once completed, it would have attracted the Romans, who may have damaged the site. As such some details were lost due to this, but the general shape of the two constellations remains.
Only a few of the Neolithic stone structures are representative of stellar objects; one of these is the Armenian Stonehenge (Constellation Crater and Hydra), which contains 223 stones. Greek and Roman constellations originated from the Chaldean and Babylonian people.
Some have suggested that it resembles the stars in the M8 Lagoon Nebula, with a central group of stars surrounded by a ring of stars leading in opposite directions.
Description
The Armenian Stonehenge is aligned north-south at its maximum peak in 1985. On the northern side, there is a circular section that features an underground room. This room, along with its corridors, could have been a religious prayer room.
Possibilities
The possibility of which Chinese constellations conflicted with the rise of European interpretations of the Vermilion Bird and the Azure Dragon, which are Chinese interpretations of the constellations Crater and Hydra, dates to the 1st century BC, with the build date of 36 BC being significant due to increased Roman expansion in the area, and the construction served as a boundary with the purpose of depicting a constellation, featuring various alignments to stars for dating.

Conclusion
The structure aligns at maximum tilt in 1985, but with only a 3° difference from 36 BC and the shape of the monument, this is not very clear. The underground room is most likely a later addition, probably from the 13th century. Due to its condition, though not entirely due to its degradation over the years, it appears only as a constellation built by the Chinese. There are stars that this structure could align with, but parts are missing from the monument to allow this to happen. The stars that best fit an alignment would have aligned between 10 and 20 BC; these stars are part of the Orion constellation. The circle, possibly because it was added later, was an event that no longer exists. A typical structure of this size might have taken 2–3 years to build.
