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...

Down Tor Stone Circle

Down Tor Stone Circle








Down Tor Stone Circle is a stone circle near Down Tor, Dartmoor. Also called Hingston Hill Cairn.
Foggintor Quarry is not far to the northwest, where the stones could have been quarried, along with Down Tor, which is currently a national park.
Crazywell Cross is to the north and Drizzlecombe to the south.


Coordinates 
50.506060,-3.994103


Description 
Down Tor Stone Circle consists of a long stone row with a circle of stones at the end towards the southwest. This can be considered similar to Drizzlecombe in shape and construction, and is 2 kilometers away.


Measurements 
This tor and circle are angled at 22° towards the southwest, with the row at a length of 755 feet or 230 metres.


Analysis 
It is possible that Down Tor Stone Circle is similar to Drizzlecombe, which was shown to be possibly connected with the golden ratio and π or 9πφ together.
The circle is 40 meters wide. If using the 22° on the circle towards the northwest, then all stones pair off except towards the southeast at an angle of 52°.
52 - 23.4 = 28.6
28.6 can be considered the Earth's maximum tilt plus the Moon's minimum tilt. 23.4 + 5.14 = 28.54

Whether using feet or metres to include the stone row and circle, a number of 5.75 is achieved. If it is an angle, it would equate to 1724 BC.

755 ÷ 131 = 5.75
230 ÷ 40 = 5.75


Conclusion 
It is likely that Down Tor Stone Circle was built around the same time as Drizzlecombe. Drizzlecombe was considered to be land clearing. Other sites in this area that used the same stones were considered to be from the 1800s and 1900s.

It is possible that the circle and row represent the Earth and Moon. The current distance in miles is 238,855. The 230 metres could represent this distance, with 40 metres as the circumference.

This could also represent an asteroid impact in 1724 BC, but it was most likely created recently in the 19th century with reference to past events.
