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...
Boskednan Stone Circle
Boskednan Stone Circle is a partially restored prehistoric stone circle near Boskednan, Cornwall. The monument is traditionally known as the Nine Maidens or Nine Stones of Boskednan and not to be confused with the Nine Maidens in Devon.
It is thought that the original structure may have contained as many as 22 upright stones.
Description
The Boskednan Stone Circle is made up of eleven stones with a width of 23 metres (only the large stones are measured).
One stone is angled towards the southeast, and one stone is a single stone.
A measurement at the angled stone gives an angle of 15° and at right angles, the single stone is at 75°, which gives a centre point for the circle.
Measurements
If the stones are measured from the centre, then the following angles are produced, the stones that produced the centre are in brackets. There are three different rows, (1) as all stone angles (2) as all differences in degrees (3) as stones in each defined segment in degrees, which there are 3,3,2,1.
3°,65°,49°/11°,28°,45°/(75°)/57°,45°/(15°)/3°
22,16,60,17,17,30,48,12,30,12
22,16/17,17/12/12
Using the last row and the numbers as angles then the following is produced when aligning stones both clockwise and anti-clockwise.

22°

This could be considered as '0s' and '1s', the value for each angle can be exchanged for the value of each number above and multipled together.
11100/10/10/110
Or
(11100×10)/(10×10)/(110×110)
The latter gives a value of 13,431,000000. If this is considered as seconds, then it could be a year, 425 bc.
(13,431,000000÷(3600×24))÷365.25=425 bc
Or
11100÷110=10×10 (+0.9)
An alternative year could be possibly 231 bc.
2216-1985=231
Analysis
On the 9th October 425 bc a lunar eclipse occurred, it is an ecplise that is referred to as a historically significant lunar eclipse.

Analysis
On the 9th October 425 bc a lunar eclipse occurred, it is an ecplise that is referred to as a historically significant lunar eclipse.
In his famous comedy 'The Clouds', Aristophanes describes an eclipse that took place two years prior but referenced as 419 bc.
The story makes reference to Cleon becoming a general. This is a reference to the naval Battle of Pylos, which took place in 425 bc during the Peloponnesian War at the peninsula of Pylos.
Cleon, who joins with Demosthenes in the invasion by Athenian troops of Sphacteria, results in an Athenian victory leading to the surrender of the Spartan army.
The eclipse itself was a total eclipse with a duration of 3hrs 39m and a partial eclipse of 1hr 28m at 17.23.
Further eclipses in 425 bc
14th April at 23.58 Total 3hrs 30m/1hr 2m
30th April at 11.47 Partial
23rd Oct at 17.12 Partial
Again, they have used the circle as a clock face, hours are 15° and minutes as 6°. As with others, North doesn’t mean 12 hours, but it is the 15° southeast direction.
The '3' is at 90° and a marker stone, and the 39 is an angle of 45° or 9×6 towards the northeast. The partial eclipse might be there from the 75° southwest direction but might be measured as 1hr 27m as it is 18° and not 1hr 28m.
Conclusion
It can be said that the Boskednan Stone Circle, as it is in its current configuration, represents the lunar eclipse from 425 bc. It occurred during the year of the Battle of Pylos, Battle of Sphacteria, and when Callicrates started to build the Temple of Athena Nike on the Acropolis in Athens.
It is assumed that it's construction was sometime after 425 bc but this is uncertain.
