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...

The Bachwen Dolmen burial chamber is located near Clynnog-fawr, Caernarfon, Wales.

A number of cupmarks exist on the monument, which is notably wedge-shaped and points out to sea at an angle of 28° towards the northwest; the support stones sustain this wedge on the sides and are also at 28°, while the elevation is 24m.


Coordinates
53.018891,-4.375356


Possibilities 
There are three possible explanations for this chamber, (1) it is angled so as to align with the Major standstill or (2) it aligns with tilt and angle away for date or (3) two numbers are used and connects with a date.

(1) The major standstill is currently 28.725°; for it to be this, there must be a further stone to mark the minor standstill, with a difference between them of 0.725°, as it is not measurable to that accuracy.

(2) More likely, it is a maximum tilt of 20° and an 8° tilt for that year.

8 ÷ 1.55 = 5.1613
5.1613 × 1000 = 5161.3
5161.3 - 1985 = 3176.3 BC
8° equates to 3176 BC.

(3) The only numbers used are 28 and 24, from angle and height.

Continued 
The coordinates are seemingly unconnected but are roughly 7° of latitude away from 60° and 6° from 10°. These two numbers are then part of the date; the 3 and 1 could equate to support stones or the tilt of the wedge, which is 13°. These numbers, however, are in the wrong order; they are 1, 3, 7, 6, and so could represent the year 1376.

Angle away
28 × 1 × 7 × 6 = 1176

Number from above plus latitude and longitude
11 + 53 = 64
76 + 4 = 80
6480 ÷ 2 = 3240

6480 ÷ 1176 = 5.51
8046 ÷ 3176 = 2.533
8046 ÷ 6480 = 1.24

The number 6480 is obtained by adding the coordinates to the number 1176. The number 1176 divided by 6480 equates to 5.51, which could be 1.55; adjusting 6480 to 8046 and dividing by the date gives 2.53. This suggests that this number is close to dividing 6480 by 2, which gives 3240; hence, 2.53 represents latitude and half longitude, and the cup marks add to this dating due to their use at that time and their fading out later. A longitude marker was rarely used in 3100 BC.

The 60° and 10° could have been popular numbers at the time, with 60° as 1/6 of 360° and 10° as 1/36. An interpretation of the following, 28×1×7×6=1176, could suggest 6 is 4 from 10, 4 divided by the angle 28° is 7, there is 1 angle of 28°, or 1×60 (1 hour) meaning the hour at 28° and year of 76. If from above the two numbers are also paired, then 60° would connect to the first two and 10° to the second two. This could then mean 32 (as 60-28=32), 7, and 6, then the century 32 and year 76, a possible directional pointer to an event on land or in space which could be a planetary alignment.

The use of 1.55 suggests that a date is represented in the monument; the earlier 8° represented 3176 BC, but confirmation is much harder to ascertain. The cup marks on the stones might provide a date more quickly; a group on the wedge is in the shape of Cassiopeia, and the group on one of the support stones could suggest 3176 BC, but the date would have to be known beforehand. If the date is the simplest to determine, then the cup marks might tell the story in more detail.

Also to consider is that the tilt is currently roughly 23.5°, so it would have been 31.5° in 3176 BC; the monument would be at 20°, and the coordinates would be roughly 45° latitude and 4° longitude. There are eight 45° segments in 360° and four in 180°, so there could be another marker to provide a more precise measurement in the opposite direction.
Another possibility is that cup marks were never used on a monument to indicate a date, and considering that the angle of the segment is 51.5°, that 20° is also 0.05 of 360°, and the Giza Pyramids were inverted to fit on the plateau following the constellation of Orion, it is possible that it was built after the construction of the pyramids to provide roots for some of the inhabitants.

It is notable that at 45° a line follows towards the Nile and Luxor, adjusting slightly, and the tomb of Petosiris could be considered a marker point. Petosiris lived in the second half of the 4th century BC, during the 30th Dynasty. There are a number of monuments that suggest they were altered or constructed so as to give credence to their roots.

If considering 28° and 24m only, then these two numbers can be put together as 2824, representing 2824 BC. It gives a number near to the root of the golden ratio. If the root of the golden ratio is used, a year of 2823.4 BC is achieved.

2824 + 1985 = 4809
4809 ÷ 1000 = 4.809
4.809 × 1.55 = 7.4539
7.4539 + 20 = 27.4539
27.45395 − 28.725 = 1.27105

√(1.618) = 1.27201
1.27201 − 28.725 = 27.4529
27.4529 − 20 = 7.4529
7.4529 ÷ 1.55 = 4.8084
4.8084 × 1000 = 4808.4
4808.4 − 1985 = 2823.4



Conclusion
It is easier to conclude that a more likely construction date is the 25th century BC, but it is also possible that they aligned this monument in 3176 BC, as Petosiris had equal significance and was connected to the same date. The connection to the root of the golden ratio is also possible, as the design is quite simple using that root. This suggests an earlier monument was used in 2824 BC, serving no other purpose than to mark the year. Alternatively, all three are correct, as qualities of each calculation connect to the root of the golden ratio from 2824. This also includes the coordinates; if multiplied together, subtracted from 360, and divided by 100, the answer equals the root.

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.  Some have suggested that it resembles the stars in the M8 Lagoon Nebula, with a central group of stars surrounded by a ring of stars leading in opposite directions. 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 possi...

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,...
