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

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.

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.  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 possibility of which Chinese constellations conflicted with the rise of European interpretations of the Vermilion Bird and the Azure Dragon, which are Chinese interpreta...
