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...

Coetan Arthur Dolmen

Coetan Arthur 

Author Daeve

Coetan Arthur, also known as Arthur's Quoit, is a dolmen in Pembrokeshire, Wales.

It is different from the Carreg Coetan Arthur monument near Newport and is the remains of a Neolithic burial chamber (also known as a quoit).


Angles/coordinates 
If the angle north equals 15° (1hr), then the stone's inclination angle of 25° could equal plus 10hrs or (25-15).

25° stone
At 15° northeast
Location 51.904°
Altitude 42m


Coordinates
51.904527,-5.307970


Meaning
From other monuments, a dolmen with support stones represented the minimum and maximum tilt by its alignment angle and latitude.
Assuming this to be correct then it gives a year of 3880 bc.
A date can also be derived from the use of its altitude and coordinates, which are 42 and 51.
(This is going straight to a date without the difference being 20° or 20° plus tilt).
From these two angles and altitude and subtracting from 5510 gives a date of 1259 bc.
5510-4251=1259
(This 42 and 51 can equal a number of different years).


So if using the year as 1259 bc, then the following could be correct.
A total solar eclipse occurred in 1259 bc on 11th Feb with max at 18.27pm for a duration of 4mins 11secs.
(Coordinates max 15.423666,-96.197288)

A partial lunar eclipse occurred in 1259 bc on 26th February with max at 02:15 for a duration of 2 hours and 10 minutes for the partial eclipse and 5hrs 18mins Penumbral eclipse.
(Coordinates max 10.931134,-33.612987)


For the total solar eclipse, the numbers can be derived as:
11th Feb as 42 days.
(42nd day of year, altitude at location)
18.27pm as 1122 minutes or 280.5°.
4 mins 11secs as 251s or 0.8x5°.

For the Partial Lunar eclipse, the numbers can be derived as:
26th February as 57th day of year
(Altitude plus tilt of stone 42+15=57)
02:15 as 135 mins or 33.75°.
2hrs 10mins as 2×10
(Twice the angle difference)


Solar
Altitude = day
Altitude/location % of day = max 
(2×location)% of longitude = duration
Stone angle = location

Lunar
Stone angle plus altitude = day
2×stone angle = max
Difference in angles x2 = duration 
Difference in angles = location latitude 


Alternative possibility 
In some other stones, the stones represented a location by shape or idea. This occurred between 2500-3500bc but also other dates.
If this is correct, then its shape could be an event. Some possibilities are meteorite, earthquake, or iceberg.



Conclusion
Assuming Coetan Arthur was standing on supports then there isn't much remaining, but assuming Coetan Arthur was built as it appears today, then it might be possible to define something using only a few numbers.

From these few numbers and only using them, then a date could be established. A possible date connects to other builds about that time, like the Castlerigg Stone Circle (they also used the number 5510 that isn't used anymore). These builds represented lunar or solar eclipses and with just the use of the numbers 15, 25, 51.904 and 42, they could have shown that it is possible to derive the lunar and solar eclipses for a year.

The two max locations are at 10° and 15° which is the angle at max and the difference from the angle of stone from max. These latitude locations are used instead of the time associated with maximum.
For them to use 42m for altitude they must had visited Gavrinis, there they would have interrupted sea level high at 1985 ad as 11m and where they got the number 5510 bc from (11m from entrance).
(This measurement is correct and has been used for altitude in many times).

If 15×42=630 then 25×51.904=1297.6, for the 1297.6 to equal 1259, then 25 must be multipled by 50.36, giving a difference of 1.544.
25×50.36=1259
51.904-50.36=1.544
It is possible for this number to be 1.542 with increased accuracy or a location at sea from one of the other numbers suggesting altitude is used.


The alternative possibility suggests an event.
If the 15×42=630 is considered, then it is an error like at Boscawen-Ûn, where 604 and 2903bc dates are suggested, the 630 equivalent to 604. If this is the situation, then it suggests a build date of 2903bc or between 2903 and 2929bc.

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.  Some have suggested that it resembles the stars in the M8 Lagoon Nebula, with a central group of stars surrounded by a ring of stars leading in opposite directions. 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 possi...

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,...
