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...

Stoney Littleton Long Barrow

Stoney Littleton Long Barrow









Stoney Littleton Long Barrow is a chambered tomb and is considered most likely Neolithic. It is also known as the Bath Tumulus and the Wellow Tumulus. Bones were discovered during excavations in the early 19th century.
Some people consider it to be connected to Nympsfield Long Barrow.


Coordinates
51.313246,-2.381488



Description
The tomb is angled at 45.5° southeast. It is comparable to other chambered tombs in that it is partly buried with several internal rooms.
It measures 50 feet at the entrance, 30 feet at the far end, and 100 feet in length.

Moon
The Moon's inclination to Earth's equator is currently either 18.28° or 28.58°. The inclination to the ecliptic is currently 5.145°. 
Subtracting these two:
28.58° − 5.145° = 23.435°. 
The difference between 51.313246° and this current tilt is:
51.313246° − 23.435° = 27.878246°. 
The Moon's visual size, as seen from Earth, is 0.5°.


Analysis
If the above numbers—angle of tomb, Moon's inclination, and coordinates—are used, the following applies.
45.5−28.58=16.92
51.31−45.5=5.81
5.81-0.7=5.11



Conclusion
The tomb's shape can be considered a pointer and might be angled toward an important direction or aligned with a star.  If Neolithic, it would be angled between 7° and 14° less, equating to 38.5° and 31.5°. As these angles deviate from known objects, it could possibly align with the Moon.
It is likely that the location was aligned with maximum tilt. 51.31° minus the current tilt of 23.435° equals 27.88°. This is 0.7° away from the current angle of 28.58°.  It is likely that this difference represents an eclipse. The eclipse and solar corona make up the difference.

Subtracting the tomb's current tilt from the current tilt, produces 6.515. Dividing this difference by the Moon's width at the surface, yields 13.03.
23.435−16.92=6.515
6.515÷0.5=13.03
This could be the angle of construction, signifying one Moon's width per degree of movement. This angle produces a date of 6402 BC.
13 ÷ 1.55 = 8.38709
8.38709 × 1,000 = 8,387.09
8,387.09 − 1,985 = 6,402.09

This could then be a tomb built in 6402 BC, and although not pointing to a specific event, an event like an eclipse may have occurred, aligning the tomb to the difference, which directly related to an angle from maximum tilt.

Cooridnates 47.481167,-3.136861 Description This menhir is at a junction in the village, while three others are on the west coastal path. The Alignements de Kerbourgnec are about 3 kilometers north of the village, and the Dolmen de Renaron can be found about 4 kilometers north, but it contains only one stone. The menhirs de Mané-Meur are identified as the three on the coast and not the tall stone in a garden as identified on Google Maps. Analysis Two stones of these menhirs are 97 meters apart to the west, and the smaller stone is located at 83° towards the southeast. These are 250 meters away from the village....

Tomb of Seti I

Tomb of Seti I  The tomb of Seti I, also known as KV17, is located in the Valley of the Kings. The pharaoh Seti I died in 1279 BC. His tomb was discovered by the archaeologist and explorer Giovanni Belzoni in 1817. Coordinates 25.740031, 32.601998 Description Seti I had many buildings built, which included the Temple of Seti I in Abydos. The tomb KV17 consists of 17 chambers, corridors, and side rooms and is considered one of the largest. There is a well near the entrance of the tomb; the corridor descends into the tomb and is designed similarly to other tombs. Decorations are found throughout most of the tomb. The tomb and side chambers are on the level of the well, with a further corridor that ends in a room at a lower level. (The measurements used are given in official documents) Total area of tomb: 649.04 sq m / 2373 sq cubits Burial chamber width: 13.19 ft / 25.22 cubits Distance to burial chamber: 290 ft / 88.382 m / 169 cubits Distance to the end of the tomb: 570 ft / 173.74...
