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 Entrance A 14.01m by 3.66m (51.2766) Corridor B 15.17m by 3....
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

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.
