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...

Coba

Coba

Coba is an ancient Mayan city on the Yucatán Peninsula, located in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo. 
The site contains a number of buildings, with the largest known as Nohoch Mul, directly north, which is a raised area of about 120m.

The bulk of Coba's major construction seems to have been made in the middle and late Classic period 500-900 ad, although further builds were constructed into the Post-Classic upto the 15th century, the ball court is in the best condition and may fit this description.
The site features sacbeobs, which are raised platform walkways. The Nohoch Mul pyramid is also known as the Ixmoja pyramid.

Buildings
Nohoch Mul pyramid (45° southwest, 42m)
(7 layers)
Ball court (38° northeast)
(1 layer)
Observatorio Astronómico de Cobá (34° northwest, 10m)
(5 layers)

Coordinates
20.496133,-87.720619


In between these three buildings, a triangle can be formed like from other builds, the angles are 101°/72°/7° the spacing is 122m.
If altering this distance between 122m to 117.75m and 121.35m, two different perimeters of 1985m and 2046m are produced, the average distance away of the apex of the triangle is either 933/962m.
117.75m = 1985
121.35m = 2046

If multiplying the layers by the angle plus the height for Nohoch Mul pyramid, a number of 356.76 is achieved, which is 3.24 short of 360 or 0.1 short of π.
Applying the same to the Observatorio Astronómico de Cobá and assuming 10m height gives the answer of 180.
(7×45)+41.76=356.76
(5×34)+10=180


Conclusion
If it is 121.35m, then the average distance away is 962m, when using a 1km gnomon 962m is the length of the other side. As it isn't necessary to use a 1km gnomon, this could be a reference to '1', and because the perimeter is 2046m, it is a possible reference to Khufu's pyramid.

Two other possibilities exists, (1) 117.75m in feet is 3589 ft subtracting '1' possibly gives 2589, another reference to Khufu's pyramid (2) 121.35m in feet is 3689 ft subtracting 3600 (as 1 hour) then dividing by 100 leaves 0.987, another reference to Khufu's tomb.
The connection to π and π/2 for the buildings is possible, it is also possible that the ball court connects to π/5 as this is 72° (one of the angles), the connection is it's slope angle of one side 34° plus it's alignment angle of 38°.
This reduction could then connect to the golden ratio or the numbers used from the equation.
(1+√(5))÷2)=1.618.

(1÷π)+(2÷π)+(5÷π)+(√(π))=4.32
(1÷π)−(2÷π)−(5÷π)−(√(π))=3.682
The subtraction calculation could be 2 plus 1.682 as 1.682° is 900 ad, when it was thought to be built but also the addition of 4.32 could be 1 plus 4.32 or 5.32 measurements per year (a gnomon and pyramid connection). The smaller building could suggest two buildings are one rotation or 2π and the taller building could suggest two buildings are two rotations less 2π.

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...
