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.

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,...

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...
