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...

Fernworthy Stone Circle

Fernworthy Stone Circle




Fernworthy Stone Circle is located in Dartmoor National Park in Devon.
The circle is thought to be from the Bronze Age. There are several other stones that lead away from the site and could possibly be connected, with several stone cairns located nearby in the woods.


Coordinates
50.641163,-3.903817


Description
The circle is 60 feet in diameter and contains 29 granite stones. 27 stones are visible, and 2 are mostly buried. One of these two could be considered a marker or pointer and aligns at 80° northeast to a dip in the circle.


Analysis
From the stone marker to the dip in the circle's circumference aligns best at 80° toward the northeast. When using this angle and aligning the stones, the following are produced: The number 1 is used for no alignment and 2 for an alignment.

Clockwise 80°
12111111112211111111122

Anti clockwise 80°
2121121122111111112211

Unlike other stone circles, a pattern or calculation is usually produced, and when using 11 or 111 as the root, it produces numbers that are dates. Here it is unclear, and these are the best fits:

1211111111.       2211111111122
212112.             1122111111112211

1,211,111,111÷212,112=5709.772
5709.772-1985=3724.772

212×√(2)=299.8
29.12
1.21

Clockwise 50°
11211111111111211111222

Anti Clockwise 50°
1221211121112111111122



Conclusion
When using an angle of 80°, a date of 3724 BCE is produced. This, however, seems too old and would have been 8.85° less of tilt toward the west.
(The sum of the angles 80° and 8.85° is 1.15° less than 90° north)
When using the 50° coordinate from the location, a similar set of numbers are produced.

It is possible since a date has been produced and an angle of 8.85 degrees. When this angle is multiplied by ten, it produces the length of a season. This might then suggest that it is a "seasonal circle". 
By this suggestion, the circle is more likely nearer to modern times during a time of land clearing. For this area, the late 1700s are most likely.

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. The amphitheatre may have been a later addition to what was already a large town.  Also located there were a fortress, cisterns, an aqueduct, a triumphal arch, a theatre, and a basilica with a circular crypt . 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...

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...
