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.

Menhir de Manemeur

 Menhir de Manemeur The Menhir de Manemeur or menhirs de Mané-Meur is a menhir in the town of its name in Quiberon, a commune in the French department of Morbihan.  The menhirs in and around this commune can be individually identified as Menhir de la Pointe des Gueritte and Allée couverte, Menhir de Beg Er Goh Lannec, Menhir de Manemeur, and Menhir de Beg Er Goh Lannec. Cooridnates 47.481167,-3.136861 Description This menhir is at a junction in the village, while three others are on the west coastal path. The Alignements de Kerbourgnec are about 3 kilometers north of the village, and the Dolmen de Renaron can be found about 4 kilometers north, but it contains only one stone. The menhirs de Mané-Meur are identified as the three on the coast and not the tall stone in a garden as identified on Google Maps. Analysis Two stones of these menhirs are 97 meters apart to the west, and the smaller stone is located at 83° towards the southeast. These are 250 meters away from the village....

Tomb of Seti I

Tomb of Seti I  The tomb of Seti I, also known as KV17, is located in the Valley of the Kings. The pharaoh Seti I died in 1279 BC. His tomb was discovered by the archaeologist and explorer Giovanni Belzoni in 1817. Coordinates 25.740031, 32.601998 Description Seti I had many buildings built, which included the Temple of Seti I in Abydos. The tomb KV17 consists of 17 chambers, corridors, and side rooms and is considered one of the largest. There is a well near the entrance of the tomb; the corridor descends into the tomb and is designed similarly to other tombs. Decorations are found throughout most of the tomb. The tomb and side chambers are on the level of the well, with a further corridor that ends in a room at a lower level. (The measurements used are given in official documents) Total area of tomb: 649.04 sq m / 2373 sq cubits Burial chamber width: 13.19 ft / 25.22 cubits Distance to burial chamber: 290 ft / 88.382 m / 169 cubits Distance to the end of the tomb: 570 ft / 173.74...
