Tomb of Ramesses II

Tomb of Ramesses II Ramesses II, also known as Ramesses the Great, was buried in Tomb KV7, located in the Valley of the Kings, Egypt. He was the son of Seti I and Tuya and reigned from 1279 to 1213 BCE. He constructed monuments at Abu Simbel, Abydos, Rame sseum, L uxor, a nd Karnak.

The Pipers, St Buryan

The Pipers, St Buryan
Author Jim Champion



Pipers are a pair of standing stones near the Merry Maidens Stone Circle in Cornwall, United Kingdom.
There are two of them separated by about 90m, and they are known as The Pipers I and The Pipers II.

Coordinates
50.067394,-5.585738

The name of these two stones derives from a legend that they were, in fact, two pipers who were turned to stone for playing music on the Sabbath for the nearby dancing Merry Maidens.
A different legend states that the two stones were set up following a 10th-century battle in which the Anglo-Saxon English, led by Æthelstan, fought the Cornish Celts, ledHowel and supported by the Danes.
The Pipers were said to mark the positions of the two opposing leaders.

Alignment
The Pipers are currently aligned at 50° towards the northeast or southwest.
Although they align with the Merry Maidens Stone Circle, the angle is between 50°-53°.
The southwest stone is 4.7m tall, and the northeast stone is 4.2 m.

In the article 'Merry Maidens Stone Circle' it was shown that the circle was built in the 25th century bc (Bronze Age) and the nearby observational point called Tregiffan Burial Chamber which could be used for star tracking and Gun Rith were neolithic.

Measurements
If the heights connect, then the difference at 0.5 metres could give an age.
In the following, two possibilities give a date in the Neolithic and in the Bronze Age.
Obliquity is used for the 0.5°.
4.7-4.2=0.5m
((0.5÷1.2)×10250)=4270.83 bc
Or
4270-1985=2285 bc


The difference between these two dates is 1985, which is the maximum tilt

4270-2285=1985

If the diameter of the Merry Maidens Stone Circle is 21.33m and tilt of Piper I is 17° or 17°+90°=107° suggesting there is a route along the ground at 90m, then the following could be correct.
4270÷21.33=200.13
2285÷21.33=107.13
200.13-17=183.13
183.13×21.33=3906.1629
3906.1629−1985=1921 bc

This then gives it a new date of 1921 bc, although it depends on the width measure and angle of inclination and is measured from maximum tilt.
This suggests that it is nothing more than two stones being erected at a date, which is just the date they were erected.
This also shows that Merry Maidens Stone Circle was already there.

Bachwen Dolmen

Bachwen Dolmen The Bachwen Dolmen burial chamber is located near Clynnog-fawr, Caernarfon, Wales. A number of cupmarks exist on the monument, it is notably wedge shaped and with this points out to sea at an angle of 28° towards the northwest. The support stones support this wedge on the sides so are also at 28°, the elevation is 24m. Coordinates 53.018891,-4.375356 Possibilities  There are three possible explanations for this chamber, (1) it is angled so as to align with the Major standstill or (2) it aligns with tilt and angle away for date or (3) two numbers are used and connects with a date. (1) The Major standstill is currently 28.725°, for it to be this, there must be a further stone to give Minor standstill, difference in between or 0.725° as it isn't measurable to that accuracy. (2) More likely it is maximum tilt 20° and 8° tilt for that year. 8÷1.55=5.1613 5.1613×1000=5161.3 5161.3-1985=3176.3 bc 8° equates as 3176 bc. (3) The only numbers used are 28 and 24, from ...
