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...

Bryn Celli Ddu Chambered Tomb

Bryn Celli Ddu Chamber Tomb




Bryn Celli Ddu Chambered Tomb is considered a prehistoric tomb with some stone carvings.
There are also a number of Neolithic stones scattered around the tomb, which are located on the Isle of Anglesey.

Bryn Celli Ddu means "the mound in the dark grove." The tomb was archaeologically excavated in the 1920s.


Coordinates
53.207714,-4.236147


Further monuments:
The Bryn Celli Ddu Standing Stone is a short, rounded stone approximately 520 feet away from the Burial Chamber at an angle of 31 degrees toward the southwest.

The Tyddyn-Bach Standing Stone is a tall, neolithic stone along with a clearing approximately 1390 feet away from the Burial Chamber at an angle of 17 degrees toward the northwest.


Description
Bryn Celli Ddu measures about 90 feet wide but is not a complete circle, with a height of about 9 feet. The entrance opens out toward the northeast and currently measures 39°.


Measurements
If the stones are connected and measured from the entrance, they are 160° and 236° clockwise.
Further markings on the tomb measure 6°, 77°, and 80°, or if paired, 30° and 12°.


Analysis
It is most likely that the chambered tomb is more recent than Neolithic and was built in 1447 BCE.
This is because the entrance faces 39° towards the northwest, where the number 39 could be 45°, suggesting an earlier date. However, there is a separation of 10 between marker points on the tomb. If the latitude of 53.2077° is divided and converted to a year, then 1447 BCE is produced.




Conclusion
It is most likely that the Chambered Tomb was built near a Neolithic marker, but they used the latitude angle and 6° from 45° on a circle with other markers to produce the number 10.

Later, a further stone was included, with the Neolithic marker being moved during clearing.

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...
