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...

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.

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,...

Kakku Pagoda

Kakku Pagoda Mwe Taw Kakku Pagoda was founded by the Buddhist missionaries of the Indian emperor Ashoka, in the 3rd century bc. There is a similarity of style from the newer and older Pagodas from other sites. Two white pagodas are much larger than the others, with a third outside of the complex known as Shwesandaw Pagoda. They most probably are representative and symbolic of events that occurred. This could have been the Pagan Dynasty unifying Burma in the 17 and 18th centuries with the establishment of the Pagan Kingdom in 11/12th century. Most pagodas at Kakku were built in the 17th and 18th century, the shape of the site and the largest pagoda were built in the 12th century during the reign of Alaungsithu, King of Bagan. The 2478 pagodas are said to take the shape of 'Buddha’s footprint'. The site has a cross shape at 8.5° with the horizon, 10° with vertical, and an internal cross at 4.5°, dating to 1200. By the shape formed and date, the difference in angle is 1.22°...
