Tomb of Ramesses IV

 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 These are the tombs' measurements in metres, including the a...

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.

Le dolmen de la Table des Marchands

Le dolmen de la Table des Marchands The dolmen of the Table des Marchands is a tomb located in Locmariaquer , Brittany, France . Along with the Er-Grah tumulus  and the Broken Menhir of Er Grah , they are the Locmariaquer megaliths . The Er-Grah tumulus is a cairn. The Broken Menhir of Er Grah refers to the broken menhir (which no longer stands) but includes what is thought to be a row of menhirs replaced by small local stones. Coordinates 47.571636,-2.949732 Description The tomb and cairn are located on an outcrop on the mainland at almost the same latitude as Gravinis and about 4 kilometers east. The tomb's entrance is at a 45° angle toward the southeast and is built from the same stone as the Er-Grah tumulus. It is a two-layer structure and roughly circular. One layer is 20 metres and the other 29 metres wide, and 15 metres and 23 metres long, respectively. Analysis Taking the difference in coordinates between the two sites as,...

Armenian Stonehenge

Armenian Stonehenge Carahunge is a prehistoric archaeological site near the town of Sisian in the Syunik Province of Armenia, also known as Zorats Karer and often referred to in international tourist lore as the "Armenian Stonehenge." Coordinates  39.551657,46.028949 Only a few of the Neolithic stone structures are representative of stellar objects; one of these is the Armenian Stonehenge (Constellation Crater and Hydra), which contains 223 stones. Greek and Roman constellations originated from the Chaldean and Babylonian people.  Some have suggested that it resembles the stars in the M8 Lagoon Nebula, with a central group of stars surrounded by a ring of stars leading in opposite directions. Description  The Armenian Stonehenge is aligned north-south at its maximum peak in 1985. On the northern side, there is a circular section that features an underground room. This room, along with its corridors, could have been a religious prayer room. Possibilities  The possi...
