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...

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.

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...
