Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa The Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa are located in Alexandria, Egypt. Half a kilometer to the northeast is the Serapeum of Alexandria, which is another archaeological site in the area. The Serapeum of Alexandria is considered to have been built by the Greeks in the 3rd century BC. Coordinates 31.178942, 29.893170 Description The site is thought to date to the Hellenistic period, and Roman, Greek, and Egyptian cultural attributes can be found throughout. The site is considered to have three levels dug into the rock, being up to 35 meters deep. The Catacombs consist of a triclinium, dining room, rotunda, Hall of Caracalla, and sarcophagi. The entrance is from the southeast side near the staircase at a 40° angle. The Catacombs' size is 25 metres by 50 metres. It is thought the site was an earlier burial ground where visitors brought clay pots of food for themselves, leaving the pots as they departed. Hence, this is where the name derived from.

Nympsfield Long Barrow
Nympsfield Long Barrow is considered a burial site located northwest of the village of Nympsfield in Gloucestershire.
It is thought to date to 2800 BC and is a scheduled monument.
Some people consider it connected to Stoney Littleton Long Barrow .
Coordinates
51.710252,-2.299706
Description
The tomb is angled at 17° northeast. It measures 5 metres wide by 10 metres long. Two large stones, which could be roof supports, occupy the center, with possibly three rooms off a main corridor.
Analysis
If the burial site was from 2800 BC, it would be angled 7.417° more. This would give it an angle of 24.41° northeast. 7.41675 + 17 = 24.41675.
There are other roofless tombs shown to align with celestial objects.
If considered connected to Stoney Littleton Long Barrow and using the angle of tilt, the difference is about 1°.
24.41675 - 23.435 = 0.98175
Moon
Comparing it to the Moon, like Stoney Littleton Long Barrow, the difference in location and the Moon's tilt produces the following:
51.710252° − 23.435° = 28.275252°
The Moon's visual size, as seen from Earth, is 0.5°.
28.275252 − 28.58 = -0.304748
This number represents centimeters in a metre.
51.710252 − 24.41675 = 27.293502
This is very near a sidereal month, which is 27.321661 days (decimal).
An angle of 7.388591° would give a sidereal month duration. The year would be 2782 BC.
7.388591 ÷ 1.55 = 4.7668
4.7668 × 1000 = 4766.8
4766.8 − 1985 = 2781.8
Conclusion
It is possible Nympsfield Long Barrow connects to Stoney Littleton Long Barrow, which was shown to date to 6402 BC. Using the tilt, Moon and coordinates, it shows that the burial site could date to 2782 BC.
People who constructed the second burial site at Nympsfield used numbers from Stoney Littleton long barrow, although Nympsfield connects to a foot and sidereal month.
It is possible that this type of connection directly relates to the numbers obtained. In this build, it would suggest feet per meter and month. This could suggest that it was built more recently but retains a connection to older builds. It is also not aligned at maximum tilt; its current angle.
Due to its uniqueness, and as part of the land clearing, it may be part of an old house on the site dating to the 1700s. Further along is Woodchester Mansion, built after 1858, and the two might be connected. This suggests it was built in the 1700s and 1800s as part of landscaping.
