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.

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....

Menhir De Kerscaven

Menhir De Kerscaven 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 m...
