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 Alignement de Clendy is a series of 45 menhirs on an archaeological site in Switzerland, which is located in Yverdon-les-Bains, a municipality in the district of Jura-Nord vaudois of the canton of Vaud.
Charles de Sinner, an engineer, published a description of the site in 1896. He was then followed by Jacques Henri Gabas, who excavated the site in 1975. In 1986, the largest menhirs were returned to their original position defined from earlier digs while the smaller ones were replaced by concrete copies.

The unique formation of the Clendy Menhirs is considered as the most important Neolithic site in Switzerland, situated on the shores of Lake Neuchâtel, the stones are thought to be erected more than 6000 years ago having been carved with human form.
When the level of the upper Lake Neuchâtel decreased by 2.7 m after channelling the watercourses from the Jura (1869-1883), the menhirs appeared on the water surface in Clendy.
In 1896, engineer Charles de Sinner published a description of the site and affirmed that these blocks had been aligned by man. It was not until 1975 that his claim was confirmed by scientist and geologist Jacques-Henri Gabus.
Some of the menhirs are 4.5 metres tall and weigh five tonnes. When a clear line of sight is available, it is said they align with the moon and stars and are comparable to the Mediterranean Neolithic era.
Alignment
There are a number of stones on the site, of which there are two rows, one at 22° (11 stones) and the other at 51° (17 stones) towards the northeast. A further two curved rows that make part of a circle their diameter if a full circle would be 23m and the other would be 33m, a further short straight row of four stones also point northeast.
Of the menhirs, there are a number of very small stones that always appear near the tallest stone of any group. This rule applies except when considering the direction from the northeast as one of these menhirs are without a small stone a further menhir without a stone is angled at 70° at maximum tilt, continuing from that direction then the next three have only one around them with the final two tall menhirs each have two.
The angles for both the Lunar Major/Minor standstill are as follows.
Major stand still
28.725°
Minor
18.134°
Conclusion
As maximum tilt is 23.5° in 1985 then the part circle diameters of 23m and 33m could represent this as 23° and half ten, it is also possible because the next is a short row then the three groups represent 23°, 0.4° and 0.05°, this is made up of where the small stone is and number of stones as 23.45°.
Another possibility is that as mid point obliquity is 23.253° then they could represent 23° followed by ⅖ plus 3, as in the row a small stone is the third menhir along.
As for the two rows at 22° and 51°, there is a possibility that these could be coordinates, but the location latitude is 46° and longitude is 6° at the location.
Another possibility is that they represent a star grouping at maximum tilt or their difference as 29° plus 10 could be sunrise at 39°.
The 51° row is in groups of 6,3,4,2,2 if using size like the circles. This could then represent 5/1, 2/1, 4, 1/1.
If considering lunar standstill as 28° and 18°, then the difference as 29 could be 28, with the ten difference split in half. This would then mean the angle is incorrect and should be 50° and 22° giving 28°, but if more accurate, it could be an angle in between as 50.725°.
If considering for the major/minor standstill and still assuming they measured from maximum tilt then the 70° represents this, this can be used as a 72°/73° angle which aligns from these stones to the part circle of 23m width. This would then read as maximum tilt 23° and angle difference of 28° plus 0.725°.
From this same stone to the second part, the circle gives an angle of between 1° and 2°, the difference of angle from the Major/Minor standstill is 10.591° but this number might not be represented here. The Minor standstill is then derived from the 22° angle subtracting 4 plus the difference from the second part circle, which is between 1° and 2°.
This then represents something unique that could have occurred about the Moon, which, when at maximum tilt, would have a Major/Minor standstill of 28.725° and 18.134°. This could also connect to sunrise and may represent brightness or colour.
The stone from where the measurements are taken could represent a date, which gives a number of 3046 bc. There is a good possibility that they choose date with location as 3046 could be 46.30° latitude with their other number possibly as 50.22° putting it on the coast of the Caspian Sea, or as date is date and latitude then the two angles are angles and 50.00,22.00 as longitude.
This is not only rare but represents another location and also a star constellation which was chosen particularly because of the angles.
