Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa The Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa are located in Alexandria, Egypt. Half a kilometer to the northeast is the Serapeum of Alexandria, which is another archaeological site in the area. The Serapeum of Alexandria is considered to have been built by the Greeks in the 3rd century BC. Coordinates 31.178942, 29.893170 Description The site is thought to date to the Hellenistic period, and Roman, Greek, and Egyptian cultural attributes can be found throughout. The site is considered to have three levels dug into the rock, being up to 35 meters deep. The Catacombs consist of a triclinium, dining room, rotunda, Hall of Caracalla, and sarcophagi. The entrance is from the southeast side near the staircase at a 40° angle. The Catacombs' size is 25 metres by 50 metres. It is thought the site was an earlier burial ground where visitors brought clay pots of food for themselves, leaving the pots as they departed. Hence, this is where the name derived from.

La Venta
La Venta is a pre-Columbian archaeological site of the Olmec civilization located in the present-day Mexican state of Tabasco.
The Olmec were one of the first civilizations to develop in the Americas, and it was thought their spread through 1800 bc through to 200 ad was said to influence Mesoamerica culture.There are a number of Colossal Heads on site, some of which have been moved to the Parque-Museo La Venta.

Description
There are two ways or possibilities of describing La Venta, (1) a few sculpted heads and various stones remain of a long distance civilization who moved for whatever reason, (2) only a few sculpted head and various stones were ever produced with the pyramid being roughly shaped from the landscape following the only pyramids existing in 1800 bc, that of the Pyramids of Giza.
Analysis
It has been shown that there was a time when the Mesoamericas didn't follow European or Middle Eastern numbering units until it was shown that they were copying the numbers from European builds, possibly from interaction.
This would refer to the Caral Civilization or Norte Chico Civilization who were a complex pre-Columbian-era society from 3500 bc who didn't include tilt angle into their builds. At those locations, it was shown that they made reference to maximum tilt but not angle away, which would usually give the date (although angle away minus 20 gives the angle they used). Also there is a possibility that the Norte Chico site isn't as old as 3500 bc but built after 700 bc but also more likely 900-1200 ad because of a connection with modern day degrees, latitude and longitude.
Assuming the builders chose the location so it had a connection with the Moon, there could be a connection to the Minor standstill of 18.134°, the difference is 0.03051°.
18.134-18.103490=0.03051
As the number is less than Minor standstill tilt, it is short 0.03051° and can directly connect with tilt.
This makes it 19.68 years short of reaching the number 18.134 for Minor standstill.
0.03051÷1.55=0.01968
0.01968×1000=19.68
It is also possible that the major standstill is included and might be short from a certain distance, or the Moon node is included as 18.6 years.
18.6−18.103490=0.49651
0.49651−0.4651=0.03141
Rounding these numbers up (0.031) makes a difference of 5m/s from the rotation or 9m/s if using 0.03051°.
In a triangle of 1° and length 1968, the half perimeter is 1985, if using 0.49651° it reduces to 1976, which is 9 units short of 1985.
Conclusion
There is a connection between these builds as have been stated and builds after 900 ad tend to follow European numbers. There is also a connection with the use of not using tilt as a prominent dating measure but instead incorporating the alternative angle somewhere in the build.
It can also be said that they are accurate, and so as a subtraction from the equatorial rotation, it can be assumed that the site was chosen intentionally so as to depict a pyramid connected with the Minor Standstill.
