Tomb of Ramesses II

Tomb of Ramesses II Ramesses II, also known as Ramesses the Great, was buried in Tomb KV7, located in the Valley of the Kings, Egypt. He was the son of Seti I and Tuya and reigned from 1279 to 1213 BCE. He constructed monuments at Abu Simbel, Abydos, Rame sseum, L uxor, a nd Karnak. Coordinates 25.740776,32.601625 Description Current measurements divide the tomb into three levels: level 1, the entrance corridor; level 2, the pillared chamber; and level 3, the burial chamber and rooms. 3D mapping of the tomb enables measurements to be taken.

Grey Wethers

Grey Wethers




Grey Wethers are a pair of prehistoric stone circles located on Dartmoor in Devon.
Some archaeology was performed in 1898 along with some restoration of the stones.
There is some folklore connected with the stones.


Coordinates
50.631984,-3.926117


Description
The circles are 32 and 33 metres wide, respectively.
The northern circle contains 20 stones on its circumference, and the southern circle contains 29 stones. They align north/south at maximum tilt.

Northern
20 stones 4122
32 metres

Southern
29 stones 131
33 metres

Analysis
If pairing off stones vertically and horizontally, then some stones don't align.
These stones can be read clockwise as 4122 (northern circle) and 131 (southern circle).
4122 ÷ 131 = 31.465
The difference in width could give two dates suggesting they were built within that time.

Another possibility is multiplying the numbers and dividing by the number of seconds in an hour to produce 150. Using this as an angle from the west, 60° is measured toward the northeast. Two points are produced near the edge of each circle if also measured from the east. From this point, the following angles are made to the larger stones in the northern circle.
4122 × 131 = 539982
539982 ÷ 3600 = 150
5,(),5,11,17,25
Differences
5,5,6,6,8

And in the southern circle.
21,20,18,5,(),3,8,13,20,27
Differences
1,2,13,5,3,5,5,7,7

These could indicate about 40° above and below the equator. They could indicate a binary star or a constellation at 40° high or an equal distance above and below.

If adding these two numbers;
4122 + 131 = 4253
4253 - 1985 = 2268
Using trigonometry, the number 2268 could be 22° from the lower point and 68° down from the upper point.
This produces a point in the southern circle on the path that goes through the circles.
One possibility is Thuban (Alpha Draconis), a blue binary star in the northern constellation of Draco. Also Arrakis (Mu Draconis), a blue binary. Or Kuma (Nu Draconis), another binary.



Conclusion
Neither of these is clear after aligning the stones.
The division could suggest an area about a star similar to the pyramid shafts at Giza.
The multiplication produces two blanks where a 4,0 fits in; this suggests a constellation. With the addition suggesting a further point.
If all of these apply, then it could be binary stars at its current location of 50.63° north.
This is without a date and suggests any binary toward 30.63° north.

This is unlikely, and any restoration could have misaligned the stones, giving inaccurate numbers.
By this suggestion, the circle is more likely to date to modern times, during a time of land clearing. For this area, the late 1700s are most likely.
