Tomb of Ramesses II

Tomb of Ramesses II Ramesses II, also known as Ramesses the Great, was buried in Tomb KV7, located in the Valley of the Kings, Egypt. He was the son of Seti I and Tuya and reigned from 1279 to 1213 BCE. He constructed monuments at Abu Simbel, Abydos, Rame sseum, L uxor, a nd Karnak. Coordinates 25.740776,32.601625 Description Current measurements divide the tomb into three levels: level 1, the entrance corridor; level 2, the pillared chamber; and level 3, the burial chamber and rooms. 3D mapping of the tomb enables measurements to be taken.

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.

Bryn Celli Ddu Chambered Tomb

Bryn Celli Ddu Chamber Tomb Bryn Celli Ddu Chambered Tomb is considered a pre historic tomb with some stone carvings. There are also a number of Neolithic stones scattered around the tomb, which are located on the Isle of Anglesey. Br yn Celli Ddu me ans "the mound in the dark grove." The tomb was archaeologically excavated in the 1920s. Coordinates 53.207714,-4.236147 Further monuments: The Bryn Celli Ddu Standing Stone is a short, rounded stone approximately 520 feet away from the Burial Chamber at an angle of 31 degrees to wa rd the southwest. The Tyddyn-Bach Standing Stone is a tall, neolithic stone along with a cleari ng approxi mately 1390 feet away from the Burial Chamber at an angle of 17 degrees toward the northwest. Description B ryn Celli Ddu measures about 90 feet wide but is not a complete circle, with a height of about 9 feet. The entrance opens out toward the northeast and currently measures 39°.

Fernworthy Stone Circle

Fernworthy Stone Circle Fernworthy Stone Circle is located in Dartmoor National Park in Devon. The circle is thought to be from the Bronze Age. There are several other stones that lead away from the site and could possibly be connected, with several stone cairns located nearby in the woods. Coordinates 50.641163,-3.903817 Description The circle is 60 feet in diameter and contains 29 granite stones. 27 stones are visible, and 2 are mostly buried. One of these two could be considered a marker or pointer and aligns at 80° northeast to a dip in the circle. Analysis From the stone marker to the dip in the circle's circumference aligns best at 80° toward the northeast. When using this angle and aligning the stones, the following are produced: The number 1 is used for no alignment and 2 for an alignment. Clockwise 80° 12111111112211111111122 Anti clockwise 80° 2121121122111111112211 Unlike other stone circles, a pattern or calculation is usually produced, and when using 11 or...
