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. Coordinates 25.740776,32.601625 Description Current measurements divide the tomb into three levels: level 1, the entrance corridor; level 2, the pillared chamber; and level 3, the burial chamber and rooms. 3D mapping of the tomb enables measurements to be taken. Measurements Entrance corridor; 22.90m by 2.61m /44 by 5 cubits Floor area: 220 sq cubits Opening in corridor 8.35m by 8.35m by 3.7m Floor area: 70 sq m² Volume: 259m³/1795 cubit³ Room off corridor 7.85×8.48×3.10 m Floor area: 66.50 sq m Volume: 206.4 m³/1442.5 cubit³ Room off corridor (2) 5.38×3.30×2.63 m Floor area: 46.7 sq m Volume 46.7 m³/326.4 cubit³ End of corridor 6.3×5.72×2.82 Floor area: 36 sq m Volume: 101.6 m³/7...

Lochmaben Stone

Lochmaben Stone

image link below

Lochmaben Stone or stones as there are two are located in the Solway Firth in Dumfries & Galloway, Scotland.

The Lochmaben Stone is 2.13m tall. The other stone at 70° towards the northeast is 1m tall, and both are considered glacial boulders.

Coordinates 
54.983677,-3.076052

These stones hold a similarity with Meini Gwyr in Wales as it only has two stones but also implies that it could have been a circle and has a possible moon phase.


Meaning

Using similiar pairings by using height multipled by distance apart by angle, a number of 3131 is achieved.

(2.13×21)×(1×70)=3131.1

This monument has been dated to 3000 bc, so a date of 3131 bc would be accurate. A slight variation in height measurement, though, would alter the number greatly.

At Meini Gwyr in Wales, the stones visually and through height difference represented a moon phase. Due to the shape, it is possible that the Lochmaben Stone also represents the moon in a phase with a separation distance of 21m. The phase is probably full moon, and Waning/Waxing gibbous, at an angle of 45°.

At Meini Gwyr, a primer was used, and a date of 2377 bc was suggested.
Also due to the date of the Lochmaben Stone at 3000 bc, with the same theme and measurements it is possible that the 2377 wasn't 2377 bc but 3133 bc as a number to be subtracted from of a rarely used date of 5510 bc.

5510−2377=3133

Gravinis uses this number from were to subtract 855 from hence achieving 4655 bc.


Obliquity 
Like Meini Gwyr, the stone's height differences give obliquity, and here obliquity gives a date of 6119.
((1.13÷1.2)×10250)−1548−1985=6119 bc

Converting this number to feet gives a number of 20075.73. If this represents a half circumference, then the corresponding latitude would be 59.937°. This locates it in the sea, north of Scotland, and is probably a location of a lunar eclipse as it is connected to the moon.
cos(59.937)×40075=20075


Conclusion 
Similarities are drawn between the Lochmaben Stone and Meini Gwyr. Not only can the date be corrected, but the obliquity date is used as a number. This date is far too large, so converting to a latitude gives a location. Also, it is possible like Meini Gwyr that a primer 6455 is used. If it is 6119, then the following would apply.

(The measurement of 36.6m was from the ditch at Meini Gwyr, but no ditch existed here with only similiar stone locations)

In this duration of time (6119 years), the moon would have completed 13 rotations per year. Dividing by 28 days in a month and 29.53 days in a lunar month. 

6119-1529.75=4589.25
4589.25×365=1675076.25
1529.75×366=559888.5 

Total number of days 2234964.75 
Sidereal month
2234964.75÷27.32=81806.91 
Perennial calendar
2234964.75÷28=79820.17 
Synodic month
2234964.75÷29.53=75684.55 

Difference sidereal/synodic
81806.91-75684.55=6122.36 

Difference perennial/synodic
79820.17-75684.55=4135.62

6122.36-4135.62=1986.74

This time, the sidereal/synodic subtracted from the perennial/synodic produces a probable date of 1986.74. It can be assumed that this is maximum tilt.

As the height, distance, and angle obtained the year this confirmed that it was aligned east/west at maximum tilt, the primer was 6119. The year of construction would be between 3131 and 3133 bc.

The similarity between the two confirm that they were built within years of each other.
