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...

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.

Le dolmen de la Table des Marchands

Le dolmen de la Table des Marchands The dolmen of the Table des Marchands is a tomb located in Locmariaquer , Brittany, France . Along with the Er-Grah tumulus  and the Broken Menhir of Er Grah , they are the Locmariaquer megaliths . The Er-Grah tumulus is a cairn. The Broken Menhir of Er Grah refers to the broken menhir (which no longer stands) but includes what is thought to be a row of menhirs replaced by small local stones. Coordinates 47.571636,-2.949732 Description The tomb and cairn are located on an outcrop on the mainland at almost the same latitude as Gravinis and about 4 kilometers east. The tomb's entrance is at a 45° angle toward the southeast and is built from the same stone as the Er-Grah tumulus. It is a two-layer structure and roughly circular. One layer is 20 metres and the other 29 metres wide, and 15 metres and 23 metres long, respectively. Analysis Taking the difference in coordinates between the two sites as,...

Armenian Stonehenge

Armenian Stonehenge Carahunge is a prehistoric archaeological site near the town of Sisian in the Syunik Province of Armenia, also known as Zorats Karer and often referred to in international tourist lore as the "Armenian Stonehenge." Coordinates  39.551657,46.028949 Only a few of the Neolithic stone structures are representative of stellar objects; one of these is the Armenian Stonehenge (Constellation Crater and Hydra), which contains 223 stones. Greek and Roman constellations originated from the Chaldean and Babylonian people.  Some have suggested that it resembles the stars in the M8 Lagoon Nebula, with a central group of stars surrounded by a ring of stars leading in opposite directions. Description  The Armenian Stonehenge is aligned north-south at its maximum peak in 1985. On the northern side, there is a circular section that features an underground room. This room, along with its corridors, could have been a religious prayer room. Possibilities  The possi...
