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 Entrance A 14.01m by 3.66m (51.2766) Corridor B 15.17m by 3....

Pella is an ancient city located in Central Macedonia, Greece, which is best known as the historical capital of the ancient kingdom of Macedon and the birthplace of Alexander the Great.
Currently, the area is being excavated so that it can open for the public in 2021. On site, there is the Pella Archaeological Park, Museum, and Ancient Agora of Pella.
The Ancient Agora of Pella is the largest building on site with a measurement near 243m (800ft) at an angle of 2°. Most buildings partly buried also follow this alignment with a few at 5°, although if the part buried side isn't included, then the measurement would be 210m (689ft).


Coordinates
40.756672,22.518959


Measurements
The 2° angle of most buildings equates in years as 695 ad but is past maximum tilt, so it could mean it would align east/west in the year 3275.
695, if used as feet is 6ft difference from 689 feet (a distance of 2m), it is possible that either the measurement is 212m or the angle could increase, making it an angle of 2.02°.
This would make the angle a cubit per metre, and the following would apply, showing that the measurement was 458 cubits (0.45405) long.

(Greek cubit/cubit 0.45405)
462.5 cubits (458 cubits)
454.25 cubits (450 cubits)
If the remaining distance is included, it would be 111 ft more (74.5 cubits or 36m).
The area in cubits of this building is divided by three times 111 plus the difference in angle (6ft) equates as 1000×root golden ratio, the overall length in metres divided by cubit equals 537 cubits.

458×458=209764
209764÷((3×111)+6)=618.8

243.84÷0.45405=537 cubits


Possible variations
If the length of their year in days is 354 or 377, then a season would be 88.5 days.
354÷4=88.5
It is possible that this number could also be precession or apsidal precession or a golden ratio reduction.

If precession, it could connect to the Spring Equinox, which is currently on 20th March, this, though, gives only 282 (Alexander the Great being born in 356 bc).
(5÷88.5)×5000=282.485
(9.5÷88.5)×5000=537

Golden ratios are made up of increasing cubes, and on Khafre's pyramid, the interpretation has an 8.85 cubit cube at 60.06 × 111.2 cubits east off the pyramid's side although this no longer exists.

The Moon's orbit approximates an ellipse rather than a circle. However, the orientation (as well as the shape) of this orbit is not fixed. In particular, the position of the extreme points (the line of the apsides: perigee and apogee) rotates once (apsidal precession) in about 3,233 days (8.85 years). It takes the moon longer to return to the same apsis because it has moved ahead during one revolution. This longer period is called the anomalistic month and has an average length of 27.554551 days.

If reducing as a golden ratio, 800ft would reduce 7 times until it reached 27.543ft.
800×0.618~
27.542877
For an exact figure of 27.554551, the length of a side in feet would be 799.913ft.



Conclusion
It is possible the site, when constructed, was based around the golden ratio. For the smaller area to be in this ratio, it would be measured as 494.4 ft.
If the reduction equals an anomalistic month, then the 7 times could represent a week. The day then could be 282 days but not precession even though 88.5 days is a season, the 282nd day of the year would be in October depending on how many days there were per month.

If considering Alexander the Great's birth of 356 bc, then using the length of 210m as feet as 689ft, then subtracting his birth year gives 332, which is his year of reign
689-356.5=332

If Alexander the Great's birth was 356 bc, then the tilt angle would be 3.62° for that year, which, if subtracted from the angle 2.02° leaves a number very near to the golden ratio.
356+1985=2341
2341÷1000=2.341
2.341×1.55=3.62855
3.62855−2.02=1.60855

If the golden ratio is subtracted, then it leaves a number that could suggest 2° angle and 243m length. In a triangle of length 800ft, the differences between these two angles are 6.
3.62855-1.618=2.243


It is possible that the golden ratio is used for size and scaling. It is also probable that 7 days are represented in reduction along with a month's length of 27.554551 days as a ratio.
If the area is increased by a golden ratio, it would make the sides 332m by 332m. If using the Ancient Greek's largest area measurement of a Plethron, then the area would measure as 116.534 Plethrons.

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...
