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...

Menhir De Kerscaven

Menhir De Kerscaven
Author BernardM



Menhir De Kerscaven consists of two stones. The taller with grooves is 8m tall, and the shorter is 7m tall. The angle between them is 63° and the distance is 202m (663ft).
In another pair of stone menhirs, the distance and angle along with height difference were used to achieve a possible explanation.
For Menhir De Kerscaven, the ratio of heights is 1.14. If then multipled by the distance, it gives 230. 

The following are a short description, which includes altitude above sea level for each mentioned.

Coordinates
47.799101,-4.326006

Menhir De Kerscaven
1 stone with grooves (altitude 7m)
1 stone, which is round (altitude 11m)


Dolmen de Lestriguiou
Is a dolmen which is missing its stone caps. (altitude 25m)

Dolmen of the tip of the torch
Is a dolmen who is also missing its stone caps. (altitude 11m)

Menhir de la Vierge
Is a menhir 4m tall with a carved out smaller stone on the island of Hoedic.
(altitude 13m)



The following could only be modern-day alterations of stones or dolmens.

The Alignements de La Madeleine seem to follow a modern road. (altitude 13 - 17m)

Further north is a dolmen called Covered Alley of Lesconil, it is a dolmen with all of its cap stones removed. (altitude 68m)

Alignements de Lagatjar are in the shape of pi in the commune of Camaret-sur-Mer. (altitude 47m)


Conclusion
It is unlikely that the Menhir De Kerscaven were moved recently as they weigh 50 tonnes, the Alignements de La Madeleine, and Alignements de Lagatjar could have been moved pre/post war as part of land clearing.
The Covered Alley of Lesconil is not a design from any typical dolmen, along with Dolmen de Lestriguiou and Dolmen of the tip of the torch could have had their stone caps removed.
The Dolmen of the tip of the torch could either be coincidentally at 11m or it, and the others were moved to an 11m altitude and adjusted, stones being used from multiple dolmens that exist in the area.

A possible purpose was that the people adjusting the stones wanted more to be connected to the 11m altitude and not just Gravinis.
In this case, Gravinis shows signs of being chosen so as to be above sea level of 11m in 1985 by people who built it in about 4655 bc, defined by its capstone of 11m.
Hence, any other builds that connect to 11m above sea level also connect to any understanding from an earlier time or also any errors.

The tomb's entrance is at a 45° angle toward the southeast and is built from the same stone as the Er-Grah tumulus. It is a two-layer structure and roughly circular. One layer is 20 metres and the other 29 metres wide, and 15 metres and 23 metres long, respectively. Analysis Taking the difference in coordinates between the two sites as,...

Armenian Stonehenge

Armenian Stonehenge Carahunge is a prehistoric archaeological site near the town of Sisian in the Syunik Province of Armenia, also known as Zorats Karer and often referred to in international tourist lore as the "Armenian Stonehenge." Coordinates  39.551657,46.028949 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 possi...
