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...

Thornborough Henges

Thornborough Henges
Link below


The Thornborough Henges are an ancient monument complex made up of three henges. The complex is located near the village of Thornborough, close to the town of Masham in North Yorkshire, England. The site includes other structures, including a cursus, henges, burial grounds, and settlements.

Although thought to have been part of a Neolithic and Bronze Age 'ritual landscape', it has been shown to be originally Neolithic before being built on again in the Bronze Age.
So dating is comparable to between 3500 and 2500 bc.


Meaning
There are a number of stone monuments made up of three separate parts and individual stone monuments connected together in threes. These could be representative of an angle or an alignment. In this case, it is a conjunction, an alignment of three planets which could pin point a date to the nearest year or month.
(As the Earth rotates yearly, this would be less common for it but with the larger planets more of a rarity).
This is a conjunction of the planets Jupiter and Saturn, which occurrs every 19.76 years, although a further alignment can be made either six months before or six months after.

The angles 52.75°/57.3° and number 1.91264 from °/km are used.
(°/km = circumference at location)
(57.3° probably = radians at 57.297°)

The following are the numbers produced from the measurements and angles of the site.

Using Jupiter x Lunar standstill
11.862x28.725=340.73
Saturn
29.457x28.725=846
Dividing both=2.485°


Longitude of the ascending node
1.91264x57.3=109.6°
Saturn 113.665°
× half distance
1.91264x52.75°=100.89°
Jupiter =100.464°

Inclination to ecliptic Jupiter
1.91264x1.467=1.303°
Saturn=2.485°
Argument perihelion Saturn/Jupiter
180-2.485×1.91264=339°
678÷1000÷2.485×1000=273°

Thornborough Henges
The ability to follow the longitude of the ascending node for both Jupiter and Saturn shows that they used 365.25 as a value for a year. They also used degrees, whole numbers, triangles, and radians.

The value in percentage off from a conjunction for Earth, Jupiter, and Saturn.
Month(E)/week(J)/week(S)= % difference from semi major axis.
This means that the alignment was off a month for Earth and a week both for Jupiter and Saturn.


Conclusion 
It is unclear why the longitude of the ascending node for Saturn is 4.065° different as all other numbers are almost exact.
(This number, along with 1.912° gives a date of 1870 bc, which is about the date of the completion).

It is possible that the ancient Egyptians reached here in the 25th/26th century bc and expanded the site so including the 1.912 number (1/0.523), the radian is also included here but a rarity in ancient Egypt. 

A possibility is that the number 0.523 was incorporated into a number of builds about the 27th/24th century bc and not just the Giza pyramids through trade and travel.
Another possibility was that some of it was built on a Neolithic site about the 25th/26th century bc but not fully completed until the 19th century bc, this could be from later builders who saw a pattern and included a conjunction. This is quite similar to the various dating of the dolmens in the article  'Dolmens of Spain', where the addition of the final dolmen was unconnected to the build so a further connection was added.

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....
