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...

Pyramid of the Sun Teotihuacán

Pyramid of the Sun Teotihuacán

Image in the public domain



The Pyramid of the Sun is located in Teotihuacan, Mexico. It was named by the Aztecs, but it is unknown what the Teotihuacanos called it.
It was believed to have been constructed about 200 ad and abandoned in 750 ad.

Although the Pyramid of the Sun is the largest building on site, it is the Pyramid of the Moon along the 'Calz de los Muertos' or Avenue of the Dead which has the main focus.
The avenue is at an angle of 75° towards the northeast and at right angles to this is both the Pyramid of the Sun and Temple of Quetzalcóatl, the distance between the two is 1200m, the distance from the Pyramid of the Moon is 767m.


Coordinates
19.692189,-98.842879

Dimensions
Length 220m (720 ft)
Width 224m (740 ft)
Height 65.5m (216 ft)

Shape
A common theme runs through the site for the pyramids as each is four layers, but the Temple of Quetzalcóatl may have had further layers. A band that splits layers is present in the Pyramid of the Sun's 3rd layer and the 4th layer in the Pyramid of the Moon.

Ratios
The ratio of the distance from each pyramid is about 1.55, but the total length is 1967m, which is 18m short from the number of 1985, another 18m could reach the far side of the temple.
1200÷767=1.565
1200+767=1967m
At peak, the Sun/Moon pyramids are at 2° with the following area, the internal angles are as 10°/80°/90°.
Area = 51773m²
Perimeter = 1680.8m
The ratios of these are 30.82, a number from Khufu’s pyramid.
51773÷1680=30.82


Conclusion
If the differences total should be 1985m, then adding the 18m gives 1218m as it is the longest distance and 767m. This ratio then connects to the Major/Minor standstill a ratio of 1.58.
1218÷767=1.58
If the extra is added to the 767m as 785m, then the ratio is 1.529. If the extra was another 3m, it would give 1.523. This is another number from Giza and could explain the splitting of the 3rd tier of the pyramid. This could be interpreted as not quite '3'.
1200÷785=1.529
1200÷787.5=1.523
The Pyramid of the Sun and Temple of Quetzalcóatl align north/south at 15°.
There is also a splitting of a 4th tier and could mean a number slightly greater than 3. This could be π.

The equation of a sphere is 4/3πr³, if a radius of 1985 is used, it gives a volume of 3.28×10¹⁰.
This could suggest a conversion from kms to miles, but also, it could be ratios.
From the following it shows if using 384400 kms as the distance, the width and length gives different numbers, the difference of the length from 1761 is 13.73 and very near to the angle of the site in 1173 ad.
384400÷345=1114.2
1114.2÷10=111.42
384400÷220=1747
384400÷224=1716
1747-1716=31
1747-1761=13.73

15°−1.259°=13.742°

There are a few connections to Khufu's pyramid which is where they could of got their ratios from but there is also a connection with the Leaning Tower of Pisa with the numbers 1111.42/π/3328, it is possible that the site was enlarged when the Aztecs arrived after 1173 ad adding the connections. It might also be luck that they originally aligned the site at 15° at maximum tilt as this gave them 345° (360-15) but it is possible that a different site stood at that location and it was only enlarged using numbers from other builds.

Le dolmen de la Table des Marchands

Le dolmen de la Table des Marchands The dolmen of the Table des Marchands is a tomb located in Locmariaquer , Brittany, France . Along with the Er-Grah tumulus  and the Broken Menhir of Er Grah , they are the Locmariaquer megaliths . The Er-Grah tumulus is a cairn. The Broken Menhir of Er Grah refers to the broken menhir (which no longer stands) but includes what is thought to be a row of menhirs replaced by small local stones. Coordinates 47.571636,-2.949732 Description The tomb and cairn are located on an outcrop on the mainland at almost the same latitude as Gravinis and about 4 kilometers east. The tomb's entrance is at a 45° angle toward the southeast and is built from the same stone as the Er-Grah tumulus. It is a two-layer structure and roughly circular. One layer is 20 metres and the other 29 metres wide, and 15 metres and 23 metres long, respectively. Analysis Taking the difference in coordinates between the two sites as,...

Armenian Stonehenge

Armenian Stonehenge Carahunge is a prehistoric archaeological site near the town of Sisian in the Syunik Province of Armenia, also known as Zorats Karer and often referred to in international tourist lore as the "Armenian Stonehenge." Coordinates  39.551657,46.028949 Only a few of the Neolithic stone structures are representative of stellar objects; one of these is the Armenian Stonehenge (Constellation Crater and Hydra), which contains 223 stones. Greek and Roman constellations originated from the Chaldean and Babylonian people.  Description  The Armenian Stonehenge is aligned north-south at its maximum peak in 1985. On the northern side, there is a circular section that features an underground room. This room, along with its corridors, could have been a religious prayer room. Possibilities  The possibility of which Chinese constellations conflicted with the rise of European interpretations of the Vermilion Bird and the Azure Dragon, which are Chinese interpreta...
