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.

Nympsfield Long Barrow

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.

Bachwen Dolmen

Bachwen Dolmen The Bachwen Dolmen burial chamber is located near Clynnog-fawr, Caernarfon, Wales. A number of cupmarks exist on the monument, it is notably wedge shaped and with this points out to sea at an angle of 28° towards the northwest. The support stones support this wedge on the sides so are also at 28°, the elevation is 24m. Coordinates 53.018891,-4.375356 Possibilities  There are three possible explanations for this chamber, (1) it is angled so as to align with the Major standstill or (2) it aligns with tilt and angle away for date or (3) two numbers are used and connects with a date. (1) The Major standstill is currently 28.725°, for it to be this, there must be a further stone to give Minor standstill, difference in between or 0.725° as it isn't measurable to that accuracy. (2) More likely it is maximum tilt 20° and 8° tilt for that year. 8÷1.55=5.1613 5.1613×1000=5161.3 5161.3-1985=3176.3 bc 8° equates as 3176 bc. (3) The only numbers used are 28 and 24, from ...
