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...
The Alignment de Lutry is thought to be dated to the Neolithic 4500/4000 bc, with the smaller stones aligned towards the spring solstice and the larger towards east and the winter solstice.
The alignment is located in the town of Lutry, in the canton of Vaud. It was discovered in 1975, but the current monument is a reconstruction from 1986 built a few dozen metres from the original location.
It is currently about 250m away from Lake Geneva and part of the Swiss cultural heritage.

Alignment
There are 10 small stones, 8 large stones split 3/5 by a small stone, with the whole monument in a shallow curve (A small stone has been replaced, there are 23 stones in total).
The large stones are aligned at 30° (with a length of 36 feet) to the northwest, and the smaller stones fall on a circumference of a circle of radius 47ft, aligned south at maximum tilt.
The centre of this circle from a line of 57° falls on the small stone that splits the large stones 3/5, the end large stone at 30° also aligns with the centre.
Using these numbers then the sides of a 90° triangle would be 47ft, 23.9477ft, and 52.749ft.
If considering obliquity from mid point 1584 years past 1985, then the following would give a year of 2365 bc.
23.9477−23.253=0.6947
0.6947÷1.2=0.57892
0.57892×10250=5933.89
5933.89−1584=4349.89
4349.89−1985=2364.9 bc
This would equate as 6.742° for tilt and, if subtracted from 30° would leave 23.258°, this number is 0.005° off the currently considered mid point obliquity.
30−6.742=23.258
Conclusion
This area of Switzerland was popular from 2700 bc then again in the 1st century bc.
The area is prone to glacial melt, and from other monuments in the area, it has shown that melt waters could raise and fall.
Discovery of monuments below the water line shows that the water level was probably a lot lower, allowing for the builds. When water levels rose, these monuments were built again, but at a higher altitude, they might have also represented a wider range of points.
For the Alignment de Lutry, they used a triangle, circle, and tangent, which gave obliquity for the year 2365 bc.
The number for mid point obliquity is very similar to the Earth's tilt at maximum tilt, and if it represented this, then the 47ft radius of circle could then represent the latitude for the location as 46.503224°. The tilt angle of 6.742° is very near to the longitude 6.684913°.
The two, obliquity and coordinate, are also very near to 47.
46.5°+0.6947°=47.2°
