Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa

Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa The Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa are located in Alexandria, Egypt. Half a kilometer to the northeast is the Serapeum of Alexandria, which is another archaeological site in the area. The Serapeum of Alexandria is considered to have been built by the Greeks in the 3rd century BC. Coordinates 31.178942, 29.893170 Description The site is thought to date to the Hellenistic period, and Roman, Greek, and Egyptian cultural attributes can be found throughout. The site is considered to have three levels dug into the rock, being up to 35 meters deep. The Catacombs consist of a triclinium, dining room, rotunda, Hall of Caracalla, and sarcophagi. The entrance is from the southeast side near the staircase at a 40° angle. The Catacombs' size is 25 metres by 50 metres. It is thought the site was an earlier burial ground where visitors brought clay pots of food for themselves, leaving the pots as they departed. Hence, this is where the name derived from.

Menhir de Champ-Dolent

Menhir de Champ-Dolent


















The Menhir de Champ-Dolent is located in Brittany, France. It is an upright stone in the same area as La Roche Longue in Quintin. This menhir may have been built around 4700 BC, but its location was different.

35.898000,-5.373616


Description 
The menhir is measured as 9.4 metres or 30.84 feet tall. The elevation is 34 metres or 111.5 feet. The stone is shaped so as to achieve a point or a defined height. 


Analysis 
It is possible that Menhir de Champ-Dolent is connected to La Roche Longue in Quintin, which has its own second, smaller stone.
These two stones as a pair may represent two outcroppings of land in North Africa, one larger and one smaller. However, as La Roche Longue in Quintin used feet and metres, it is possible that all stones have been moved to represent these outcroppings, and the original stones may not have been in pairs.
A possible purpose could be to include numbers connected to the pyramids of Giza. 

The coordinates of both pairs.

The small difference would be 0.1 and larger 0.5. (One number could depict accuracy and the other could be ½)

The elevation and height of the stone at the location is 43.4 metres. This number is known to connect to the pyramids, and dividing the circumference by it yields 931. If 43.4 is used to divide the seconds in a day, 1990 is achieved. This number is near 1985, and to achieve it, 4 minutes or 239 seconds are subtracted.

40075 ÷ 43.4 = 931.98
86400 ÷ 43.4 = 1,990.783
86161 ÷ 43.4 = 1,985.276



Conclusion 
As mentioned, these might be older shaped stones, and they might have been moved and aligned for a different purpose. The numbers from the differences give a possible separation angle from the pyramids of 0.5, which is divided by 10 and 0.1 which was used as the average accuracy.
Further numbers achieved are 931 and 1985, both are used in the pyramids. 
The total height which includes elevation and stone height gives 43.4 this is likely unique to the pyramid builders as 931 isn't found elsewhere. 

The La Roche Longue in Quintin was shown to date to 4700 BC and by being in the same area this stone suggests the same year. It's elevation produces no usable numbers and then could be Neolithic as stones marked locations.
It is likely that this stone was moved in 2700 BC to connect its numbers to the pyramids using another the La Roche Longue in Quintin stone. This is due to the size and shaping and numbers used.

This stone may have existed as a Neolithic stone elsewhere, but this is unclear. It can be suggested that this stone was carved and located in 2700 BC. This would be to resemble other locations; it is possible that other points of interest would be found underwater.

Roman Amphitheatre of Uthina

Roman Amphitheatre of Uthina The Roman Amphitheatre of Uthina is located in Uthina , near Tunis, Tunisia .  Building for Uthina began in 40 BC and continued through to 135 AD. The amphitheatre may have been a later addition to what was already a large town.  Also located there were a fortress, cisterns, an aqueduct, a triumphal arch, a theatre, and a basilica with a circular crypt . Coordinates 36.608598,10.169214 Description The amphitheatre, partly buried, measures 113 by 90 meters. The arena measures 58 by 35 metres, giving surface areas of 7988 and 1539 square metres respectively.  There are four entrances, two main entrances at each end, with the seating area supported by three tiers of columns and arches. (Although these are no longer there, measurements and amphitheater descriptions rely on a complete building.) Measurements for the amphitheatre on site are 12 0 by 89 metres, with the arena measuring 67 by 36 metres. The surface areas measure 10680 an d 24...

Coordinates 25.740776,32.601625 Description Current measurements divide the tomb into three levels: level 1, the entrance corridor; level 2, the pillared chamber; and level 3, the burial chamber and rooms. 3D mapping of the tomb enables measurements to be taken. Measurements Entrance corridor; 22.90m by 2.61m /44 by 5 cubits Floor area: 220 sq cubits Opening in corridor 8.35m by 8.35m by 3.7m Floor area: 70 sq m² Volume: 259m³/1795 cubit³ Room off corridor 7.85×8.48×3.10 m Floor area: 66.50 sq m Volume: 206.4 m³/1442.5 cubit³ Room off corridor (2) 5.38×3.30×2.63 m Floor area: 46.7 sq m Volume 46.7 m³/326.4 cubit³ End of corridor 6.3×5.72×2.82 Floor area: 36 sq m Volume: 10...

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...
