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...

Swinside Stone Circle

Swinside Stone Circle

image may be copyright

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.

Tomb of Tutankhamun

  Tomb of Tutankhamun The Tomb of Tutankhamun (KV62) is located in the Valley of the Kings , Egypt . It was excavated by archaeologist Howard Carter in 1922 . The tomb belonged to Tutankhamun, who reigned 1332–1323 BC . His tomb is considered mostly intact and free from water damage. It consists of four rooms and a corridor, some of which are decorated. Artifacts recovered from the tomb are available to be seen in the Grand Egyptian Museum in Giza . Coordinates 25.740406,32.601356 Description Tuta nkhamun' s tomb lies in the Valley of the Kings, facing east, and is near the tomb of Ramesses II .  Th e measurements, from a study of the tomb, are available online.

Tomb of Cyrus the Great

Tomb of Cyrus the Great The Tomb of Cyrus the Great is located in Fars Province, Iran. The tomb's original location was in the capital of the Achaemenid Empire. Currently, it is one of the Iranian UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the archaeological site of Pasargadae. Coordinates 30.193946,53.167188 Description The tomb is angled at 37° toward the southeast with a 1,000-foot-long path leading away. Toward the northeast is the Mozaffari Caravanserai, and further north and along the same river bank are additional monuments in the same style as the tomb. This tomb is thought to have survived multiple earthquakes due to its foundations. The tomb is built from stone were as the Great Ziggurat of Ur was built from brick. These two are in the same region. Analysis At an angle of 37°, a further monument, the Great Ziggurat of Ur, is located in modern-day Iraq. These share the same angle of 37°, possibly towards sunrise. In the 20th century BC (2040 BC), the Seleucid Kingdom ruled the area whic...
