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.

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...
