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....

Maeshowe Chambered Cairn

Maeshowe Chambered Cairn









The Maeshowe Chambered Cairn is located on Orkney, Scotland. It is considered Neolithic, dated to about 2800 BC. The name Maeshowe derives from the style of this build and is part of the Heart of Neolithic Orkney, which also includes Skara Brae.


Coordinates 

58.996788,-3.187857


Description 

Maeshowe Chambered Cairn is a stone construction, including the roof with a cover of earth. The Skara Brae building is different, with a part stone and part earth construction; it is known that this style of building had wooden supports.


Analysis 

Elsewhere on the island and not far away are the Standing Stones of Stenness, Lochview Standing Stones and the Ring of Brodgar. The angle of the build is at 50° towards the southwest. The width is approximately 285 feet by 300 feet (87 metres by 91 metres).


The area of an ellipse;

π × 87 × 91 = 24,872

24,872 - 25,772 = 900

This happens to be exactly 900, were a number 90 by 91 would be 42 sq metres away. The nearest numbers are 294 feet by 300 feet producing 25772.

As 50° is not a usual alignment angle, it can be considered as 45°. As a year, 45° is as follows:

5 ÷ 1.55 = 3.2258

3.2258 × 1000 = 3,225.8

3,225.8 − 1,985 = 1,240 BC



Conclusion

The number 25772 suggests a rotation of 20°, and this could also be considered a wave.

If assuming this is aligned to maximum tilt, it could suggest taking two measurements: one at maximum tilt (50°) and another at minimum tilt (70°). These two numbers give an answer between 30385 and 30670, which could suggest Earth's orbital speed. This is not accurate enough to give the average velocity.

Although it could also be assumed that the angle from 45° is a date of construction. If the 25772 suggests a maximum tilt of 5°, then this angle equates to 1240 BC. This would put it about 300 years after the Ring of Brodgar.

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...
