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 Entrance A 14.01m by 3.66m (51.2766) Corridor B 15.17m by 3....
Cockpit Stone Circle
The Cockpit Stone Circle is situated about 5kms southwest of Penrith.
It appears aged and disarranged but is connected to the Castlerigg Stone Circle near Keswick and the Giza pyramids.
Circle
The stones used on the circle are at 36° towards the northeast situated opposite each other and east/west at 0°.

Current distances from coordinates between Castlerigg and Cockpit Stone Circle.
54.602844-54.592702=0.010142
1.127 kms
3.098154-2.801775=0.296379
19.112 kms
In a triangle, these numbers produce an angle of 3.375° in 2020, but if maximum tilt is subtracted, this decreases it by 0.05425° from 1985.
0.05425-3.375=3.32075
This gives a new distance of 1.109kms north and 19.12kms east.
Area=10.76961
Perimeter=39.3842

Area=10.59699
Perimeter=39.36508
If the angle is included in the circle as 3.32° then it could be the row of five stones split by a large stone 3/2. This gives the large stone a value of 3.
If this is applied to the other stones, then the other row of 5 stones could be 3×3×3×3×3 or 3⁵ which equals 243.
This is another number connected to the Giza pyramids along with the separation distance at a maximum tilt of 19.12 km.
From another grouping which also has five stones and using the same interpretation, it could be 1027 or 109, but because from 3.32 a stone was offset for '3' then these would be 1.127 and 1.19/1.109.
These are both vertical distances of the circle measured at maximum tilt and 2020. 2020 could be implied as 3/5 from the 3⁵ number and just happens to be 35 years from the year 1985.
Conclusion
As the distances rely on the Castlerigg Stone Circle but the Cockpit Stone Circle appears older, there are two possibilities, (1) when Castlerigg Stone Circle was built they chose a location to give the 19.12 km at maximum tilt or (2) both circles were built at the same time, in this case when Castlerigg Stone Circle was built.
Castlerigg was thought to have been built in 1259 bc and connects to the Ring of Brodgar through the angle of 163°.
In other locations the use of ancient Egyptian numbers faded out quite quickly and must have represented a time of travel or trade, any inclusion of these would suggest an older connection and hence the appearance of the Cockpit Stone Circle.
In the link below, 'History England' talks about clearance cairns having a purpose of land clearing for farming about the site. The inclusion of the ancient Egyptian numbers suggest age, but a more complex description or interpretation might exist, and they might have used cairns from the Neolithic to build them.
In the Ring of Brodgar, they use angles from other stone monuments like the Callanish group and require it for their primers. They might have understood that Callanish was a group and they connected to Arbor Low to a much later time, hence their use of old and new.
This, though, is very simple, so like other stone circles, there might be an astrological connection.
If considering Cockpit Stone Circle coordinates as 54.592702,-2.801775 and using the available stones as mentioned, then it is possible to extract the numbers 5,4,5, and 2,3. The longitude might be a location 2.3 and the latitude at maximum tilt as 54.5 giving 54.4, 2.3. (These coordinates by themselves connect to a sandbank in the North Sea, from which a meridian point was used)
In between these stones, a line can be drawn with the centre of the circle. The best fit line is at an angle of 55°. At this angle, it can best describe the Milky Way at maximum tilt.
This then suggests possible constellations towards the Milky Way with the coordinates at that latitude as one point on the circle. Apart from the 'W' of Cassiopeia, it is unclear what the others represent but could be clusters of stars. (They measured 2.3° west of their/or a location, which they used as this could have been connected to the circle. These coordinates in the 21st century by themselves connect to a sandbank in the North Sea, from which a meridian point could have been used)
The 2/3 could also mean Right Ascension (RA) if talking about the Milky Way. In precession, the equinoxes rotate a season every 5000 years, so assuming 3279 years ago for construction, it would be about 65% or ⅔ of a season.
The galaxy currently aligns at RA 17hrs 45min, ⅔ of a season ago would equate as RA 13hrs 45min. This could be interrupted in many ways. One possibility was to mark a meridian, which they suggested from their build. Another would be the use of the right ascension and a location or equinox.
