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 Entrance A 14.01m by 3.66m (51.2766) Corridor B 15.17m by 3....

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.

Tomb of Seti I

Tomb of Seti I  The tomb of Seti I, also known as KV17, is located in the Valley of the Kings. The pharaoh Seti I died in 1279 BC. His tomb was discovered by the archaeologist and explorer Giovanni Belzoni in 1817. Coordinates 25.740031, 32.601998 Description Seti I had many buildings built, which included the Temple of Seti I in Abydos. The tomb KV17 consists of 17 chambers, corridors, and side rooms and is considered one of the largest. There is a well near the entrance of the tomb; the corridor descends into the tomb and is designed similarly to other tombs. Decorations are found throughout most of the tomb. The tomb and side chambers are on the level of the well, with a further corridor that ends in a room at a lower level. (The measurements used are given in official documents) Total area of tomb: 649.04 sq m / 2373 sq cubits Burial chamber width: 13.19 ft / 25.22 cubits Distance to burial chamber: 290 ft / 88.382 m / 169 cubits Distance to the end of the tomb: 570 ft / 173.74...

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....
