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...

Ganghwa

Ganghwa Bugeunri Jiseokmyo 

Author Taewang korea


Ganghwa Bugeunri Jiseokmyo is a dolmen in Incheon, South Korea.

Along with Ganghwa, there are the Gochang and Hwasun dolmens sites, which were used as grave markers, and for ritual purposes during the first millennium BCE when the Megalithic Culture was prominent on the Korean Peninsula.

Ganghwa has an additional capstone southwest at an angle of 67° towards the northeast, Ganghwa itself is at an angle of 37.75° towards the northeast which is it's latitudinal location.

Coordinates
37.773610,126.437610


Similarity
Lanyon Quoit a dolmen in Cornwall and Spinster's Rock represented the location at maximum and minimal tilt using its coordinates and angles.

The difference in angle at Ganghwa is 29.25°, which is too large for tilt, which has ranged from 18.853°-20.05°.
If 20° tilt is used, then a year of 3982 bc is produced, which is older than the 700-300 bc for the culture that lived there.

A different way is that the altitude at the location is 13m and, if subtracted from 29.25° equates as 16.25° which then can be subtracted from 20°.
The 3.75° angle that it produces equates to 434 bc and a year in between 700-300 bc.

29.25-13=16.25
20-16.25=3.75
3.75÷1.55=2.41935
2.41935×1000=2,419.35
2419.35−1985=434 bc



Conclusion
Although the altitude seems low, it is correct, and in less than a kilometre, the altitude increases to 135m before increasing to 250m.

The similarity with Lanyon Quoit and Spinster's Rock is correct. The altitude is subtracted from the angle difference and then subtracted from 20°.
The error here depends on what was considered as maximum tilt but also what was altitude, which has varied inconsistently.
It is possible that they used Gravinis as a copy or idea, which is angled at 36° towards the southwest and 11m above sea level at maximum tilt.

Unlike their British counterparts, one dolmen is only a capstone, which is tilted at 67° at the vertical, and it matches its angle towards the northeast.
The support stones of Ganghwa are also tilted at an angle of 67° and 20°, for the 20° is impossible to get an accurate figure due to its shape.
The angle between them is 47° at 124m with an area of 3835m². It is possible to get a number of 3982 (from above) as the area if the distance measured between them is 126.36m.
As it stands, Ganghwa represents the year of construction at the location along with maximum and minimal tilt.

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...
