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.

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.
