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. Coordinates 25.740031, 32.601998 Description Seti I had many buildings built, which included the Temple of Seti I in Abydos. 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. (The measurements used are given in official documents) Total area of tomb: 649.04 sq m / 2373 sq cubits Burial chamber width: 13.19 ft / 25.22 cubits Distance to burial chamber: 290 ft / 88.382 m / 169 cubits Distance to the end of the tomb: 570 ft / 173.74...

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,
Latitude 0.000255
Longitude 0.05
it can then be suggested that the latitude is the decimal with a 23° tilt at maximum, as 23.255°, and the longitude is 0.05°, a number connected to the pyramids at Giza.
(23.253° tilt at maximum 21st century number)(0.05°=3÷60)

If taking the measurements in metres and subtracting them from the number 60, the following number is achieved:
(5 × 35 × (−11 × 15)) ÷ 1000 = -29
If the 20 and 23 numbers are the maximum tilt, the remaining number is 15.

The 15 could connect to the Broken Menhir of Er Grah or the small circles of stones in a line where menhirs were thought to have been.


Conclusion
The use of the numbers 20 and 23 suggests maximum tilt, and so adding 0.000255° as 0.255° gives a 21st-century measurement of tilt in 1985. The number and use of 0.05° or 3 ÷ 60 is unique to the pyramids at Giza.

This then dates the tomb much later than what has been suggested. A likely date would be 2700 BCE.

The 15 small circles could relate to one hour of rotation or, because of their shape, modern global temperature, which is approximately 15°.
This is currently the correct average global temperature, but it could have increased to 15° on average in that area as ice melted due to rising temperatures.

Down Tor Stone Circle

Down Tor Stone Circle Down Tor Stone Circle is a stone circle near Down Tor, Dartmoor. Also called Hingston Hill Cairn. Foggintor Quarry is not far to the northwest, where the stones could have been quarried, along with Down Tor, which is currently a national park. Crazywell Cross is to the north and Drizzlecombe to the south. Coordinates  50.506060,-3.994103 Description  Down Tor Stone Circle consists of a long stone row with a circle of stones at the end towards the southwest. This can be considered similar to Drizzlecombe in shape and construction, and is 2 kilometers away. Measurements  This tor and circle are angled at 22° towards the southwest, with the row at a length of 755 feet or 230 metres. Analysis  It is possible that Down Tor Stone Circle is similar to Drizzlecombe, which was shown to be possibly connected with the golden ratio and π or 9πφ together. The circle is 40 meters wide. If using the 22° on the circle towards the northwest, then all stones pair...

Roman Amphitheatre of Uthina

Roman Amphitheatre of Uthina The Roman Amphitheatre of Uthina is located in Uthina , near Tunis, Tunisia .  Building for Uthina began in 40 BC and continued through to 135 AD.

Coordinates 36.608598,10.169214 Description The amphitheatre, partly buried, measures 113 by 90 metres. The arena measures 58 by 35 metres, giving surface areas of 7988 and 1539 square metres respectively.  There are four entrances, two main entrances at each end, with the seating area supported by three tiers of columns and arches. (Although these are no longer there, measurements and amphitheater descriptions rely on a complete building.) Measurements for the amphitheatre on site are 12 0 by 89 metres, with the arena measuring 67 by 36 metres. The surface areas measure 10680 an d 24...
