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....

Dolmen Pierre des Bignes

Dolmen Pierre des Bignes








The Dolmen Pierre des Bignes is a capstone dolmen in northern France. It is located near Tumulus des Hogues, about 30 kilometers south of Caen. It is likely neolithic. 


Coordinates 
48.806279,-0.164494


Description 
The dolmen capstone is supported by four stones on one side and two on the other, one of which offers no support. The dolmen sits among a group of raised mounds, as if in a dip or crater. The elevation of the site is 209 metres (685.7 feet).


Analysis 
It is possible that the capstone points at 5° towards the east. This angle could be 4.88°, as if latitude multiplied by 10.
4.88 × 10 = 48.8°

If the elevation is divided by 10, the number 20.9 is achieved. If 20 is assumed to be the maximum tilt, then a remainder of 0.9 is left. This could represent obliquity. Obliquity is a 2.4° variation over 41,000 years. This could give the year 5702 BC.

209 ÷ 10 = 20.9
0.9 ÷ 1.2 = 0.75
0.75 × 10250 = 7687.5
7687.5 - 1985 = 5702.5



Conclusion 
In western France, there are many dolmens and stone alignments. These are connected to Gravinis, which is dated to 4500 BC.
Some of these stones possibly represent changes in ice movement, either current or past. As the date suggests, 1200 years before Gravinis could have been a significant past event.
The build date is probably 5700 BC, marking an event and likely connected to the people who built Stoney Littleton Long Barrow in the UK in 6402 BC. This barrow continued in use until 5200 BC. Rillaton Barrow, also in the same location, was in use from 5700 to 4200 BC.
