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 Entrance A 14.01m by 3.66m (51.2766) Corridor B 15.17m by 3....

Chimney Rock National Monument

Chimney Rock National Monument













The Chimney Rock National Monument consists of C
himney Rock Pueblo, Chimney Rock Great Kiva, the Amphitheater, Chimney Rock, and the visitor center.  These are found in the southwest of Colorado, USA.
The archaeological site has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places in the USA since 1970.

The Pueblo Indians are thought to have inhabited the Chimney Rock area from about 925 AD. Later, the Chacoans held ceremonial events in and around the Chimney Rock area, this was part of the Chaco culture, which was priest-led.

Coordinates
37.175075,-107.303459


Description
The peak of the rock that represents Chimney Rock is 1289 metres high.  The buildings are mostly made of stone sourced from the surrounding area. What remains intact of the buildings are mostly the stone layers used to build of the lower part of the walls.

Analysis
The dwellings consist of circular buildings at the edge of a maze of rooms on the nearby ridge. These rooms vary is size but are not larger than the circular buildings which range between 4 and 12 metres in width.
As Chimney Rock's peak is 1289 metres, and 90 metres above the surrounding area, the buildings can be said to be at an elevation of 1200 metres.

The buildings have a 25° angle on the north face and a 17° angle on the south face.
When built in 925 AD, the angles would have been 1.643° greater.  These angles would then be 26.643° and 18.643°.

The site's size is governed by the size of the ridge on which it was constructed. As such, it occupies nearly all the available space there.

The angle 1.643° corresponds to the period from 925 AD to the maximum tilt in 1985 AD. This value is close to the golden ratio, 1.618.  The value 1.618 would correspond to the year 941 AD.



Conclusion
It is possible a golden ratio of 1.618 was included in the build, but this is unclear. Another possibility is connected to the feet-to-metres ratio, approximately 3.28.  1.643 × 2 = 3.286. The site and its circles so far have been measured in metres, but in feet the largest circle could be 37.17 feet, which is the latitude for the location. This is 11.32 meters in width.
The longitude is 107.30°, and this distance, converted from feet to metres, equals 32.7 meters.  This is one-tenth of the above ratio; for it to be 32.8 metres, the longitude would be 107.611°.
37.175075, -107.611
These coordinates would be a short distance west of the monument.

It can't be said for certain that the buildings are aligned to maximum tilt, but they were built at a time of 1.618° of tilt ago. The sizes of the buildings in feet produce the location coordinates for latitude and longitude, roughly to the feet-to-metres ratio.  The 1.643° tilt is accurate, and multiplying by two equals 3.28. From here, you can convert the coordinates as feet into metres.
One-tenth could then multiply the 11.32-metre width of the circle to produce a number similar to km/°. This number is 111.3194 km/° at the equator, suggesting the coordinates are connected.

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. Measurements Entrance corridor; 22.90m by 2.61m /44 by 5 cubits Floor area: 220 sq cubits Opening in corridor 8.35m by 8.35m by 3.7m Floor area: 70 sq m² Volume: 259m³/1795 cubit³ Room off corridor 7.85×8.48×3.10 m Floor area: 66.50 sq m Volume: 206.4 m³/1442.5 cubit³ Room off corridor (2) 5.38×3.30×2.63 m Floor area: 46.7 sq m Volume 46.7 m³/326.4 cubit³ End of corridor 6.3×5.72×2.82 Floor area: 36 sq m Volume: 10...

Menhir de Manemeur

 Menhir de Manemeur The Menhir de Manemeur or menhirs de Mané-Meur is a menhir in the town of its name in Quiberon, a commune in the French department of Morbihan.  The menhirs in and around this commune can be individually identified as Menhir de la Pointe des Gueritte and Allée couverte, Menhir de Beg Er Goh Lannec, Menhir de Manemeur, and Menhir de Beg Er Goh Lannec. 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....
