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...

Swinside Stone Circle

Swinside Stone Circle

Swinside Stone Circle, which is also known as Sunkenkirk and Swineshead, is a stone circle lying beside Swinside Fell, part of Black Combe in southern Cumbria, North West England.
It has been suggested that most archaeologists concur that the circles in this area were built for ritual or ceremonial reasons, the stone circles Castlerigg and Long Meg, and her Daughters are in this area.
The circle is 27m in diameter with 47 stones on the circumference and 1 further stone at 19°, although there are a total of 55 stones originally, there could have been 60 stones.

Coordinates
54.282497,-3.273838


Angles
If the circle is split by a line that goes through each double stone , then angles 10,19, and 90° are produced with the 90° at maximum tilt. This then splits the circle in half with 20 stones in total towards the west and 27 towards the east.

The 10 and 19 lines also split the circle, and the corresponding number of stones per segment are 9,1,10 west and 15,4,8 east.

If the number of stones on the circumference of each segment are multipled by half the angle of each intersecting line (5° and 9.5°) then the values of 45,75,76 and 95 are produced.
This seems random, but if each is considered as half hours, then the values equal 10.30,1.30,11.30,2.00.
If split east/west, then 10.30,11.30/1.30,2.00.
10.30-1.30
11.30-2.00
If these values are added for east/west, they equal 22/3.5. In a triangle, the angle is 9°. 9° could be 9° further south or north on the coordinates of the circle giving 45.3°.
As a time, this is then 10pm till 3.30 am, 5.5hrs or 82.5° rotation. 82.5° could also mean width along a longitude or equator.



Conclusion
The splitting of the circle east/west at maximum tilt could suggest a direction of travel, which coupled with time could mean rotation, and as the Earth rotates anti-clockwise, the rotation is anti-clockwise
Initially, this could mean an event at between 10pm until 3.30 am. and the 9° difference in a location north or south of the circle.

Instead, this is more likely a Lunar eclipse at latitude 45.3° or 63.3° with an equatorial width of 82.5°.
A typical lunar eclipse is defined by date/time, event, and direction, and particularly as 'beginning, max, end and duration, with altitude and magnitude'.
So maximum, end, and duration are then defined by latitude and rotation, leaving magnitude and a start time.

On the 3rd March 1241 bc a Partial Eclipse occured, the Penumbral Eclipse lasted for 5hrs 25mins with a max at 9:21:05hrs and Partial Eclipse lasted for 2hrs 29mins.

On the 23rd February 1241 bc a Total Solar Eclipse occured, which was situated over Indonesian.
The Partial Lunar Eclipse was over Europe with a maximum latitude of 63° and a longitude of 45°.

There isn't a date but it could be implied from half of one of the angles 10° or 19° as either 5° or 9.5°, as 9.5° equates as 4144 bc then it probably is 5° which equates as 1241 bc.
This puts it about the date of Castlerigg and is also a similar coordinate of 54° north.

Roman Amphitheatre of Uthina

Roman Amphitheatre of Uthina The Roman Amphitheatre of Uthina is located in Uthina , near Tunis, Tunisia .  Building for Uthina began in 40 BC and continued through to 135 AD. The amphitheatre may have been a later addition to what was already a large town.  Also located there were a fortress, cisterns, an aqueduct, a triumphal arch, a theatre, and a basilica with a circular crypt . Coordinates 36.608598,10.169214 Description The amphitheatre, partly buried, measures 113 by 90 metres. The arena measures 58 by 35 metres, giving surface areas of 7988 and 1539 square metres respectively.  There are four entrances, two main entrances at each end, with the seating area supported by three tiers of columns and arches. (Although these are no longer there, measurements and amphitheater descriptions rely on a complete building.) Measurements for the amphitheatre on site are 12 0 by 89 metres, with the arena measuring 67 by 36 metres. The surface areas measure 10680 an d 24...

Down Tor Stone Circle

Down Tor Stone Circle Down Tor Stone Circle is a stone circle near Down Tor, Dartmoor. Also called Hingston Hill Cairn. Foggintor Quarry is not far to the northwest, where the stones could have been quarried, along with Down Tor, which is currently a national park. Crazywell Cross is to the north and Drizzlecombe to the south. Coordinates  50.506060,-3.994103 Description  Down Tor Stone Circle consists of a long stone row with a circle of stones at the end towards the southwest. This can be considered similar to Drizzlecombe in shape and construction, and is 2 kilometers away. Measurements  This tor and circle are angled at 22° towards the southwest, with the row at a length of 755 feet or 230 metres. Analysis  It is possible that Down Tor Stone Circle is similar to Drizzlecombe, which was shown to be possibly connected with the golden ratio and π or 9πφ together. The circle is 40 meters wide. If using the 22° on the circle towards the northwest, then all stones pair...
