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...

Dolmen Crucuno

Dolmen Crucuno

Author Myrabella


The Dolmen Crucuno is located in the town of Plouharnel, in Morbihan, to the north-west of the village, situated next door to a house.


Dimensions
7.60m long
3.35m wide
1.80m high

The capstone weighs 40 tonnes, and there are nine support stones of which one has cup and ring marks. The rest of the 27 metre long original structure was used for nearby buildings, it become the property of the state in 1882, and the dolmen was classified as a historical monument from 1889.


Construction
Like other dolmens, Crucuno was assembled by placing the capstone onto the buried support stones and then digging the soil away.


Dolmens vary in design by year of construction. Some had holes in their side for the reproduction of sound, which was possibly made from a methane/air mixture.
This could possibly be a way of communicating, but as sound has a short range, it would be the vibration induced that would travel further distances. This could be a reproduction of the sound from icebergs of some size breaking apart and falling into the sea.
Other dolmens represented rocky out crops where the stones were quarried, or sculptures that represented an event where a capstone would be dragged onto supporting stones. These sculptures would be much like sculptures in modern times.

Coordinates
47.624231,-3.126393

The Dolmen Crucuno location is at 11° and 800m from the Dolmen de Kergazec and 45° and 650m from the Dolmen Mané Croc'h.


From a date of 3300 bc when dolmens were being built, the angles between these two stones would be 2.8° and 53.2°.

11-8.19175=2.808
45+8.19175=53.19175
2.80825×800=2246
53.19175×650=34574.63

Using these numbers to subtract from the number 5510 and to find a latitude for circumference, the following are produced.

5510-2246=3263
cos(30.37)×40075=34574

This suggests a year of 3263 bc and a coordinate of 30.37° north, the coordinate would be a location in southern Spain.

Coordinates Crucuno
47.624231,-3.126393

Coordinates Gravinis
47.571790,-2.897059

If the angle connects with the altitude so as to subtract 45° and 45° is the marker, then a new date of 3419 bc is produced.

47.624231-2.80825=44.815981
47.571790-2.80825=44.76354

11-2.624231=8.375769=3419 bc
11-2.571780=8.42822=3453 bc


Conclusion
There are a few monuments in this area, and some have been altered, but this is quite large and might have limited it's destruction unlike its path of 27 metres. It is more likely that the angles are 45° and 11°, so subtracting its coordinates gives a value of 2.624° and a date of 3419 bc.

This is probably correct as it lies near the beginning of dolmen's construction, and most are either considered as tombs or sculptures. This would mean that it only gives a date from maximum tilt.

Gravinis alignment shows it as 55° towards the northeast and 35° towards the northwest. These angles show that the '35' is 11 less than '46', and the two numbers then make 4655.

Using the same, then it is the subtraction from 11° North that gives it the date. If the two angles of 45° are used, then it is just 45° but could mean 45° twice.

This then confirms the date of construction of 3419 bc, which is probably accurate.

Clava Cairns

Clava Cairns, Scotland The Clava Cairn is a Bronze Age circular chamber tomb cairn named after the group of three cairns at Balnuaran of Clava to the east of Inverness in Scotland.  There are about 50 cairns of this kind in and about Inverness.  (Coordinates 57.472531,-4.074775) Alignment  With Clava Cairns, there is an angle of 155° between the three, and they are forward aligned 20° for maximum tilt in the 1980's.  Of the three, one is considered as north, one as south and one with no entrance (centre). There are angles produced between the stones, and their differences can be changed to fractions. The angles are measured about the north direction and then split from the entrance, left and right.  Noughts are not considered as a number, and single figures are divided by one. Two versions of interpretations exist (1) adding all stones and (2) only adding the stones not under trees (1,diagram 2,map), (these also produce a slightly different angle which is probab...
