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...

Grianan of Aileach

Grianan of Aileach

Image in the public domain


The Grianan of Aileach is a hillfort on Greenan Mountain at Inishowen in County Donegal, Ireland.
The main structure is a stone ringfort, thought to have been built by the Northern Uí Néill, in the sixth or seventh century, it has been identified as the seat of the Kingdom of Ailech and one of the royal sites of Gaelic Ireland

Coordinates
55.023780,-7.427488


Measurements
The altitude at the location is 225m with an average of 215m in the area around the ringfort.
The ringfort is 100ft wide (30.48m) with the walls 16.4ft (5m) high.


Alignment 
The following shows that at current alignment, the hillfort's angles don't mean anything, but at 2° further rotation, there is a connection
Assuming that the ringfort is dated to 700 ad, then the tilt from construction would be 2°.
The entrance is measured at 3° at maximum tilt, then adding 2° would give an angle of 5° or 14° on the far wall.
If the exit (from outside) is at 12° the other door north/south is at maximum tilt, from there, there are stairs at 70° towards northeast with another set at 35° towards the southwest and 45° towards the southeast, the difference of angle on the back wall is 2° (these angles are not all measured from a central point but the two right angles are 70° and two left are 35° off the 3° line from the entrance).


Adding the angle from construction to 1985 could suggest a continuing or central point about a peak. In reality, tilt would reduce this angle to 1° and 10°.
When the 2° is added to the entrance, giving 14° and 5° it could suggest the following.
The far wall at 5° multipled by the entrance 12° equals 70°, this continues anti-clockwise as the difference 2° multipled by 35° equals 70°, then the final 45° so that it equals 70° also is multipled by a number, the number is 1.55.

Major standstill angle
28.725°
Minor
18.134°

The difference from major standstill 28.725° and 35-5 (the two left angles) is 1.285°.
In the same way, the right 2 angles equal 25°, the number 1.55 is used for tilt but is also used as a number to multiple the difference.
70-45=25
25×1.55=38.75

Assuming the ringfort is connected to the 372-year winter solstice pattern, then from year 1638 to 2010, the following would apply by adding the Minor standstill and using 1638 as 16.38.
16.38+18.134=34.514
70÷34.514=2.028162

If the 2° is then 2.028162° it gives an accurate date of 676 ad.

2.028162÷1.55=1.30849
1.30849×1000=1308.49
1308.49−1985=676.5 ad

The alternative Minor standstill gives a date of 691 ad. 

28.725÷1.55=18.53225

18.53225+16.38=34.91225
70÷34.91225=2.00502
2.00502÷1.55=1.2936
1.2936×1000=1293.6
1293.6−1985=691 ad




Conclusion
The current Major/Minor stand still ratio is 1.584° and although it is near to 1.55, it is unlikely that it suggests that the use of angles and rotation usually only suggests tilt. Because 45 multipled 1.585 is 71.28° it is possible that they used both, this would then suggest that when the circle is split north/south 70, 45 and 1.55 are towards the right with 5 and 35 towards the left.

These numbers have been multipled, so to get 28.725, the 14° needs to be multipled by the angle increase (2°) plus 1.28, but more accurately is 35 minus 5 minus 1.28.
35-5-1.28=28.72°

For the Major/Minor standstill to be used, something else needs to show that otherwise, it is 45 multipled by 1.55. It is possible that the ringfort itself is the Major/Minor standstill with its irregular walls and overall shape.

The use of the 2° suggests tilt, but both clockwise and anti-clockwise are used along with splitting a number, but this is equal to dividing by 100.
The ringfort's width might suggest this but could also mean feet/metres conversion. Alternatively, the height location of 225m is equal to 738ft, and if this is divided by days in a year, it is very near the 2.028162° angle.
738÷365.25=2.021051.

2.028162×365.25=740.786ft
In metres, this is 225.792m.

The angle of 2.00502° gives a value of 223, a number connected to Saros and as other values connect with the Moon it suggests that the ringfort was there as a representation of this, dated to 670-690 ad about the time of the Vikings.

Gorsedd Circle

Gorsedd Circle The Gorsedd Circle is a stone circle in Fishguard, Wales . The Gorsedd Stones are a Welsh tradition of modern stone circles constructed for the National Eisteddfod of Wales . These stone circles can be found at several locations, including Aberdare Park and Anglesey . They are typically 20 metres wide and have 12 stones on the circumference with a level stone in the circle. A further stone is usually set back from the circumference; the central stone is called the Logan Stone . Coordinates 51.996431,-4.975040 Stone Circle  Gorsedd Circle is a typical stone circle but has 13 stones on the circumference with one inset. It was erected in 1936 and has the names of the parishes inscribed on each stone. Ceremony  During the opening ceremony, the Archdruid stands on the Logan Stone facing the Stone of the Covenant .
