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...
Druid's Temple
The Druid's Temple is located near Ilton, Ripon, North Yorkshire. It is different from other stone circles or monuments that hold the same name.
It was built in the 1800s by William Danby, a land owner, as a probable Stonehenge replica a short distance from Swinton Park, his home. William Danby also employed someone to live there for seven years, adding to the name and alore.
Description
The temple is made up of stones from both the Neolithic and Bronze Age and, as such, was probably part of a land clearing exercise, though never stated as such.
Multiple Neolithic markers are gathered together along with stones from dolmens. These are probably from the nearby Thornborough Henges and adjacent sites.
Neolithic markers were slim but shaped bland stones that marked locations of interest with dolmens usually having a capstone and a larger number of supporting stones. Thornborough Henges were built in the Bronze Age, and communities lived inside the circles up until the Iron Age. During these times, stones could have been used either for entrances or to mark certain points. Thornborough Henges were built as a depiction of a planetary conjunction between Earth, Jupiter, and Saturn. The numbers for this are derived from the separation distances and angles of the monument.
Further to the description, the temple is oval as opposed to circular. Centrally, there is one stone surrounded by four stones, with a possible alter.
Measurements
Druid's Temple central stones are not aligned north/south or east/west at maximum tilt but are 2° offset north/south and not 0.202° when they were built. East/West, they are offset by 13°, this with the 0.202° subtracted suggests an angle of 1.8° and 12.8°.
These numbers multipled equal 23, the original 2 and 13 could suggest segments or seasons in one rotation, so two seasons and thirteen equals 6.5 rotations.
1.8×12.8=23.04
6.5×13=2340
The temple is aligned at about 56°/57° towards the northeast and at 40° towards the northwest.
The dimensions of the temple equal 25m by 15m or 82 ft by 49 ft and about 10 feet tall.
Conclusion
The centre stone along with the other Neolithic stones might have originally been the stone markers for Thornborough Henges before being moved near the River Ure, then finially being moved 11.2km and aligned at 56°/57° and loosing their meaning.
The 23° or 2×13 doesn't align with any stones but at 67° a measurement can be made to one side of the entrance and to the other side a further and similar measurement can be made giving an angle of 41°, the difference being 26°.
As the temple's shape is more elliptic than a circle, the area would be πab or 294.
Area=π×7.5×12.5=294m²
The circumference would be 63.82m. This subtracted from 90 would equate to 26. This could then represent 26°.
90-63.82=26
Like many monuments, there are two ways that conclude the correct angle. The Druid's Temple is no different. Here, it is a seasonal rotation and circumference. The area could represent the day in the year as the 294th day, which would be 21st October.
As a possible farming meaning it could be harvesting of the crops during autumn.
It is unclear if the numbers mean anything more complicated, but some effort has gone into it being comparable to a Bronze Age build.
