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...

Boscawen-Ûn/Nine Maidens

Boscawen-Ûn/Nine Maidens


Boscawen-Ûn in Cornwall and Nine Maidens in Devon are linked.

Coordinates 
50.089814,-5.619335

Both are stone circles, Boscawen-Ûn is an elliptical circle with a diameter 24.9 by 21.9 metres (82 by 72 ft). (The Gorseth Kernow was inaugurated at Boscawen-Ûn in 1928).
There are 19 stones on the circumference with a further one in the middle. 

The Nine Maidens stone circle is partially intact, but the cairn and cist have been destroyed. This is also an elliptical circle, although more tear drop and offset by 10° to the vertical.


Angles
Here, the difference from the base is multipled by the difference from the 90° angle.
41×3=123°-90°=33°
41°-33°=8°
This produces a difference from base equal to 8° (about).

When measuring the angles the stones make about a marker point of 41°. Here the following are produced by measuring clockwise from this angle.

Clockwise from 41°
22,4,31,48,(),73,+88,(),59,41,22,+4,(-15)

Difference
19,18,35,17,(),25,19,(),29,18,19,18

The following is an example of what these numbers and angles could be interpreted as. It is from an Almanac of daylight duration and angle for every day and month of a given year. The example used is 1952.

1952
march twilight
Latitude 35° January to March
Latitude 25° March twilight
Latitude 29° April
March twilight

Differences from the angles are 1,2,3 or 3,2,1, and are measured from the 59°,72°,15° and 42° angles from stones that don't pair up.

(After pairing off all stones at 180°, the angles produced are 59°,72°,15° and 42°, with 33° produced as a subtraction.
The 1,2,3 numbers 
(72-15)-90=3
(59-(90-33)=2
42-41=1
are produced from a subtraction).

Almanac

The Almanac lists the hours and minutes from local sunset, evening twilight, and the Greenwich meridian, against latitudes and months throughout the year. Here, it appears to correspond with January to April, similar to the year 1952.
Or on page 2 of this document, against 'apparent right accession'/'apparent declination'/'semi diameter columns'.

19,18,35,17,(),25,19,(),29,18,19,18

These numbers align similarly with the splits with these breaks, except for the 29, which might have to be in the column before as 2,9.

19,18,35,17,(),25,19,2,9,()18,19,18

The breaks () are from the stones that don't align.
The numbers of stones that don't pair are 59°, 72°, 15°, and 33°. These may also link to the date, as 15° is also a 1-hour rotation, thus producing a 1.
(There are other possible interpretations that could connect with the numbers.)


Nine Maidens 
It has been suggested for the Nine Maidens that several of the stones may have been used for buildings with no rituals linked to them.
The stones add from 2° separation to 9° separation from west to east. Between 4° and 5° is a horizontal marker; this is east/west 1985–2019, marking maximum tilt.

Taking this average angle and converting to years.
4.5÷1.55=2.903
2.903×1000=2903 years

In the same way, there is a 5° to 11° separation vertically.
For clarity, the numbers are 2°, 3°, and 4°, (),5°,6°,7°,8°,9°.

And 5°,6°,7°,8°,9°,10°,11°. The link isn’t the numbers but what the numbers imply, which is measuring variation year on year with gradual changes. So by itself it doesn’t mean very much, but with Boscawen-Ûn links, the two, one simple and explanatory, and the other producing the numbers.

So, using the numbers from both adding together.
72×33÷59=40.27
40.27×15=604.07
2903+604.07=3507.07

So does this equate to
5.436° or 8.513°?

So (using 8.513°) calculating for obliquity. 
Obliquity/year×(3507+1985)
0.0000585366×(3507+1985)=0.321

Using obliquity/year from above × (2903+1985) gives 0.29. A number that was in the wrong location is split as 2, 9.

This shows that they are linked, as the error produces the number 123/321.
The 123 or 321 indicates the correct direction of the interpretation. 
(Almanacs are currently used as a reference)
It is also possible that the monuments were built shortly after 3507 bc, but 2903bc is more likely (the numbers were used for past reference).
This possibly gives the monuments a past referential interpretation along the lines of "complex could be mixed with simple."
Another Boscawen-Ûn standing stone is located a short distance from Boscawen-Ûn, at an angle similar to Nine Maidens in Devon. It probably only gives direction to the other henge.

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...
