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...

Foel Drygarn

Foel Drygarn Hill Fort












Foel Drygarn Hill Fort is located in Pembrokeshire, Wales.
Its name means "The hill of the three cairns" and is considered an Iron Age hillfort with three Bronze Age cairns.

Two kilometers to the west is Carn Goedog on the Preseli Hills with Carn Bica, and four kilometers to the southwest is the Gors Fawr Stone Circle.


Coordinates
51.970166,-4.683347


Other monuments in the area
Morganna Standing Stone
51.950550,-4.609143
About ten kilometers to the southeast.

Pentre Ifan Burial Chamber
51.998964,-4.770052
About ten kilometers to the northwest.

Waun Mawn Standing Stones
51.970930,-4.792074
About eight kilometers to the west.


Description
Foel Drygarn Hill Fort is at an altitude of 363 meters, and although it is on its own hill, it is not the highest monument in the area.
The hillfort and cairns appear to be mostly composed of small, randomly placed rocks.
It is angled 27° toward the northeast and is about 300 meters at its widest point, narrowing to 200 meters and then to 100 meters wide for the cairns.


Analysis
If using the available numbers of the coordinates, the angle, and altitude, then the following is produced.
(51.97×4.68)÷27=9.0
9×3=27

The answers multiplied by the number of cairns give the angle aligned toward the northeast.


If we consider the Carn Goedog along with the Carn Bica and Foel Drygarn Hill Fort as a triangle, the following measurements are produced:

The lengths are 800, 3600, and the angles are 95°, 12.2°, and 72.7°.

There are various ways of interpreting these numbers. One possibility is that 3600 are seconds, 800 are hours, and 3756 are days.

3789.3−1985=1804 bc
The remainder equals 8 hours

To the southwest is the Gors Fawr Stone Circle. This isn't quite eight hours as if on a clock face. The angle is 63° toward the southwest or 27°. An angle of 30° toward the southwest would equal eight.



Conclusion
In certain monuments, there are alignments to stars or planets, while in others, they align with the moon and eclipses. These, though, give the construction date or angle from maximum tilt.
Here, the angle is achieved after multiplying the answer, having used it to divide the coordinates. This suggests that the 27° is correct but should connect to other stones in the area.
This is unclear with the hillfort producing a decreasing number.

Although the year produced is from the Bronze Age, these measurements are quite rough, but they produce the 27° again. The eight hours is from 0.3 of a day.

Other numbers can also be produced with this style of cairn, dating to a much earlier date. It is possible that, like elsewhere in the area, stones were cleared for farming or road building. The cairn was built around burial chambers and standing stones and styled to include a connection to them.
It can be suggested that this was nearer the twentieth century, possibly the early 1800s.

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.

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.
