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...

Ziggurat of Ur

Ziggurat of Ur 









The Great Ziggurat of Ur is located in modern-day Iraq.
The archaeological site of Ur also consists of the temples, Dublal Makh Temple and Nan Makh Temple, and the museums Ennigaldi-Nanna's Museum and Ur dos Caldeus.
The House of Prophet Abraham is located a short distance to the east.
It is thought that construction began in 2040 BC, and the structure was considered a ruin by the 6th century BC.


Coordinates
30.962817, 46.103300


Description
The Ziggurat's pathway and entrance are angled at 37° towards the northeast. It is shaped and styled in brick with either a damaged or unfinished upper level. The size is 64 metres by 45 metres, and the building has a height of 30 metres.


Analysis
If the floor area is divided by 36, a number of 80 is produced. If this is assumed to be 10 less than 90° as a negative, then considering it as an angle, 10° would equate to the year 4467 BC.
64 × 45 = 2880
2,880 ÷ 36 = 80

10 ÷ 1.55 = 6.4516
6.4516 × 1,000 = 6,451.6
6,451.6 - 1,985 = 4,467

If a volume is calculated, then a number equal to the seconds in a day is achieved.
2880 × 30 = 86400


The entrance is angled at 37° along with the building towards the northeast. The ratio of the building in metres to feet is 1/37. If the volume in metres is equal to seconds in a day, then multiplying by the angle 37° would equal 3,199,999.9 or 3.2 million cubic feet.

If the base is divided by the volume in feet, and the volume in feet is divided by the year 4467 BC, the following are produced. The two products are then divided, producing 1.55.

3,200,000 ÷ 4,467 = 716.36
3,200,000 ÷ 2,880 = 1,111.11
1,111.11 ÷ 716 = 1.55
3200000 ÷ 86400 = 37°

The 1.55 is the ratio of years per degree. (This was produced by its own ratio of volume in cubic feet divided by year and area). From this, it could then suggest that a given angle produces the year of build or a significant year. This angle could have been on the upper floor and is thus lost.

If dividing the volume by seconds in a day, as derived, then the number 37 is produced. This could then be the angle, which would then bring it back to itself. A possible full rotation as 20°.




Conclusion
Some numbers are missing so as to connect 20°. This could be because part of it has been destroyed.
The entrance is angled towards the northeast and so not towards sunrise.
It is possible it is connected to 4467 BC as people were known to have lived and traveled here, but it is also more probable, because of the use of bricks, as would have been used in the Early Middle Ages, that it is a newer structure.
The numbers 36 and 10 could connect as 360° with the 1.55 and (37-36=1) 1 as 1° of tilt.
1 x 1,000 = 1000
1985 - 1000 = 985 AD


This then could suggest this was the main building in the area in 985 AD. As it was damaged, so were other buildings which no longer stand. This then suggests it is connected to the Silk Road, a Chinese trading route during this time.

This, though, is of a different style of building to the tomb of Cyrus the Great, which might have been considered as being in the same region.

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 metres. 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...

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...
