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...

Rujm el-Hiri

Rujm el-Hiri
Link below no changes


Rujm el-Hiri in the Golan Heights, Israel is an ancient monument thought to be Bronze Age.

Coordinates
32.908705°N 35.800705°E


The monument is made from a number of circular rings of basalt rock, 160m wide, and from 2.4m high at the edge to 4.6m at the centre.

Due to it's location the stone is mostly from the mountainous regions of the Golan Heights.
It lies on the boundary between the Kingdom of Jerusalem and the Great Seljuq Empire during the Crusader States, but it possibly played a role in the Silk Road, a route from the 2nd century bc China.
The walls of the monument could have been built standing and built with small tolerances similiar to many structures in that area depending on age, but it is also possible that it was built as it appears today.
(This could make it appear older, or it was a marker that just got expanded from land clearing for farm land).


Appearance
Rujm el-Hiri is circular in shape and somewhat maze like or shield like. It is near an object that resembles a snake. This could be the constellation of Serpens.

Serpens is a constellation that is split into two non-contiguous parts, Serpens Caput (Serpent Head) to the west and Serpens Cauda (Serpent Tail), this gives it a declination of +20° to -16°.


The Armenian Stonehenge is located northwest of its location and is considered as the constellation Hydra and Carter. Hydra has a large bright star called Alphard half way along it's length, Rujm el-Hiri has a snake shape near to it and so must be Serpens, in Serpens Caput the brightest star Alpha Serpentis lies half way along.

Alpha Serpentis
Right ascension 15h 44m 16.07431s
Declination +06° 25′ 32.2633″

As an angle, this is 225.2378°

As an angle for obliquity, it would give it an age of 4428 bc, which would put it as Neolithic.
225.2378÷360=0.6256°

10250×0.6256=6413.02
6413.02−1985=4428 bc

The Neolithic people didn't build structures of the constellations until 2700 bc (from 3300 bc individual stars were popular), but using the 0.6256° as a number to subtract from the location a difference of 0.06036° puts it in the Old City of Jerusalem.

Jerusalem
31.776849°N 35.235465°E
Rujm el-Hiri
32.908705°N 35.800705°E



The exact number 35.175105°E would put it near Motza illit, Israel a 9000 year archaeology site which was recently discovered in this area.
This is also inaccurate due to age, but the angle difference of 225° could equate to 225kms. The distance to Motza is between 208kms and 232.2kms depending on route.

Because of these inaccuracies, it was probably built as a distance and obliquity marker for direction to Jerusalem.





Other possibilities

The Silk Road started during the Han Dynasty 202 bc to 220 ad. The bi, a type of circular Chinese jade artefact associated with astronomy, was popular in the Han dynasty along with patterned end roof tiles from the Western Han dynasty with astrological depictions.


There are a number of buildings that connect directly to the snake shape, and certain angles values connect it to Rujum Al-Hiri, but these don't colerate to stars but possibly to islands in the Adriatic Sea.
Vis on one side and Brač/Hvar/Korčula the other.

Measuring from the island of Vis connects to Xinjiang in the Western Han dynasty, a distance of 2020km.
From the monument to the buildings, they produce angles, and these (offset 16°) produce locations, 3285 shapes of a snake, 4350 groups of three buildings in the Caspian Sea and one building at the measured distance.
The 3285 equals 32°N 85°E a location inside China and 4350 equals 43°N 50°E a location inside Russia currently underwater in the Caspian Sea.


The rocks are volcanic basalt columns made from extruded basalt cooled and eroded.
A possible Roman numeral 'LXXV', which equals 75, is also produced from the patterns of the stones. This could equate to 75 bc or 75 ad.



Conclusion 
The Roman numeral would be needed if built during the Romans as they were known to destroy or dismantle them.
The location and astrological theme would also put it about this era during the Silk Road, the obvious distance marker to Motza, Jerusalem hides the more complex distance and coordinates of a snake in the mountains and similar three buildings, no longer visible underwater.
Some effort was put into it not only the number of stones and size but also the connection to the constellation Serpens which was measured from a location very near to Greenwich as it is done in the 21st century.

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...
