Tomb of Ramesses II

Tomb of Ramesses II Ramesses II, also known as Ramesses the Great, was buried in Tomb KV7, located in the Valley of the Kings, Egypt. He was the son of Seti I and Tuya and reigned from 1279 to 1213 BCE. He constructed monuments at Abu Simbel, Abydos, Rame sseum, L uxor, a nd Karnak. Coordinates 25.740776,32.601625 Description Current measurements divide the tomb into three levels: level 1, the entrance corridor; level 2, the pillared chamber; and level 3, the burial chamber and rooms. 3D mapping of the tomb enables measurements to be taken. Measurements Entrance corridor; 22.90m by 2.61m /44 by 5 cubits Floor area: 220 sq cubits Opening in corridor 8.35m by 8.35m by 3.7m Floor area: 70 sq m² Volume: 259m³/1795 cubit³ Room off corridor 7.85×8.48×3.10 m Floor area: 66.50 sq m Volume: 206.4 m³/1442.5 cubit³ Room off corridor (2) 5.38×3.30×2.63 m Floor area: 46.7 sq m Volume 46.7 m³/326.4 cubit³ End of corridor 6.3×5.72×2.82 Floor area: 36 sq m Volume: 101.6 m³/7...

Menhir di Monte Corru Tundu

Menhir di Monte Corru Tundu

Author

The Menhir di Monte Corru Tundu is near the village of Villa Sant'Antonio OR, Italy.
The menhir stands at the top of the Curru Tundu hill about two kilometers north of Villa Sant'Antonio, nearby other menhirs can be found including the menhir of Tuttiricchiu and the Domus de Janas, a set of prehistoric cropolises dug in the rock.

The monolith is composed of grey trachytic tuff measuring 5.75 m (18.86ft) in height, the smaller piece could be an off cut, and its peak was thought to be shattered by lightning.

Coordinates
39.875864,8.901374

There are a number of Roman towns nearby dating from the third century bc, the altitude of the location is 283m (928.5ft).
If considering two possibilities, which are sunrise or sunset and maximum tilt, then the following is possible. Using feet and sunset to give an obliquity or feet minus maximum tilt to give a year.

(928.5+18.86482)
÷40=23.68412
Or
(928.5-18.86482)
-1985=1075 ad

There is also a possibility that it is connected with the Basilica della Santissima Trinità di Saccargia, which was completed in 1116 ad.
The Basilica is a church and is currently tilted at an angle of 2° with coordinates of 40.671196,8.689737.
If the coordinates of the church and menhir are subtracted, then the two numbers are roughly equal to 1.00. In a triangle, the perimeter is 1.83 units.
40.671196-39.875864=0.795332
8.689737-8.901374=0.211637


Conclusion 
When using Roman feet, there isn't much difference in measurement, and when using Roman cubitum or passus, the numbers don't connect, except for cubitum, which is nearer to 23.5° for obliquity.
Using feet connects to the Basilica and thus to the ratio '1' and 1.83 giving altitude, although the year isn't 1116 ad it could still mark a connection with the church for the local villagers.

Bachwen Dolmen

Bachwen Dolmen The Bachwen Dolmen burial chamber is located near Clynnog-fawr, Caernarfon, Wales. A number of cupmarks exist on the monument, it is notably wedge shaped and with this points out to sea at an angle of 28° towards the northwest. The support stones support this wedge on the sides so are also at 28°, 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 give Minor standstill, difference in between or 0.725° as it isn't measurable to that accuracy. (2) More likely it is maximum tilt 20° and 8° tilt for that year. 8÷1.55=5.1613 5.1613×1000=5161.3 5161.3-1985=3176.3 bc 8° equates as 3176 bc. (3) The only numbers used are 28 and 24, from ...
