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...

Drizzlecombe

Drizzlecombe










Drizzlecombe or Thrushelcombe is an area of Dartmoor in the county of Devon, England, containing a number of Bronze Age stone rows, cairns, and menhirs.


Within 1 or 2 kilometres of the area are the Yellowmead Stone Circles, Ringmoor Stone Row and Cairn Circle, Brisworthy Stone Circle, Great Trowlesworthy Tor, Ditsworthy Warren House, Gutter Tor, Eylesbarrow mine, and Down Tor Stone Circle.


Coordinates
50.485230,-3.985958.


Description
Drizzlecombe itself is very similar to Asseycombe stone rows; there is a long row of stones that follow a straighter line than Asseycombe, with a prominent stone at either end and a circular feature.
The stones are angled at 43° towards the southwest.

In this area of Dartmoor, there are other monuments and buildings, such as Down Tor Stone Circle, Shavercombe Falls, Eylesbarrow mine, Yellowmead Stone Circles, and Gutter Tor.  Down Tor Stone Circle is similar to Drizzlecombe and Asseycombe.


Analysis
The stones are angled at 43° towards the southwest, and the elevation of the area is about 342 metres. This varies, as the site is on a slope.  Similar to Asseycombe Stone Rows, there is a stone circle/cairn on the northern side.

The distance between the two tall stones is about 215 metres or 705 feet. The width of the circle is 23 metres or 75 feet.

If measurements are taken in feet, then the following applies.
The diameter of the circle is 75 feet and circumference is 235, this represent approximately 235 seconds difference in Earth's rotation. This is equal to its longitude as if in minutes. The elevation of the site in feet is 1122, and if divided by the length between the two large stones, 705 feet, it approximately equals the golden ratio. Also, two lines at 43°, 2×43, are similar to the elevation in metres, 342 rotated as a number.
1122÷705=1.59
1.59-1.618=0.03
2 × 43 = 342
235 ÷ 75 = 3.13
pi - 3.13 = 0.01



Conclusion
Within a couple of kilometres there are a number of other stone built structures, along with the Ditsworthy Warren House, Gutter Tor, and Eylesbarrow mine.
The latter of these suggest a similar thing to the Asseycombe Stone Rows which they were probably built more recently then Neolithic or Bronze Age.

The area suggests that there are ample stones and some were used for building houses and others used for land clearing in a unique way.

There is further support for a more recent use, and that is if measurements are taken in feet, it can be suggested that it represents an approximation.
The conclusion from using feet suggests the direction is towards the northeast and there is a link to a golden ratio and pi.
A 9πφ ratio has appeared before in ancient Egyptian builds; here it might suggest, "in the opposite direction is 9πφ." It is possible to find the angles of 45° and 47°. Although some stones might be missing, with an equal stone marking φ.

This suggests that to be accurate, it would take longer to construct, but this is just land clearing.

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....

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...
