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 Entrance A 14.01m by 3.66m (51.2766) Corridor B 15.17m by 3....

Although the ancient Egyptians used cubits, they also used whole units and feet, but a standardized unit of a cubit could be carried through to most builds.
With the King's Chamber in Khufu's pyramid, it shows that the room was built in cubits, but the measurements were made in metres.
The sarcophagus height connects with the shafts, and the passage connects with the width and the length with a ratio. It is also possible with standardization that the sarcophagus was cut from a standard size block, which may have been there or brought in.

Dimensions
10 wide (royal cubits)
20 long
10.2 high

The ratio of the room is 2:1, as 1 cubit is 0.523m, then 2 cubits is 1.046m, the volume would be 2042 cubits³ or 292m³
If the room is five blocks high, then each block is 1.07m high and not 1.046m (2 cubits) as might have been expected, a difference of 2 cms more per block.
Assuming height is 5.33m and it isn't inaccurately measured, then the number is probably 5.32m high (connected with measurements per year), with each 1.064m high, making the shafts 15.4cms high.

The volume of the chamber is 2042, and it has a connection with the sarcophagus height. The 9πφ is a π/φ ratio inside of a circle this might have a number of different meanings.
√2042=45.189
9πφ=45.749
45.189÷45.749=0.987
With this, any difference doesn't alter very much with the difference at about 0.987m.

The sarcophagus measures 0.987m high, 1.051m wide, and 2.276m long. It has a volume of 16.5 cubits³ or 2.36m³.

The number 10.46 (20 cubits) has appeared before and is connected to a straight line of y=mx+c, which can also give a gradient.

This number is derived from Nabta Playa, giving these numbers, adjusting for x,y.
(21,221), (2112,22112)
y = 10.46x + 1.14
m is the gradient of the line, and c is the y-intercept where the graph crosses the x-axis. 1.14 is a point on the x-axis with a slope of 10.46x.

It has been shown that 1.14m is the size of a cross section of some of the perimeter stones.
The volume of the sarcophagus is 16.5 cubits, but at 16 cubits, there is a connection with pi.
The connection between the cubit and π is 16 cubits÷5π.
(0.523×16)÷(3.142×5)=0.532
5π×(0.532)÷(0.523)=16


φ ratio, π and cubit connections for a φ circle
Area=(φ÷(2 cubits-(φ÷√2)))÷2=8.22
Area of two circles plus separation distance
2((φ÷(2 cubits-(φ÷√2)))÷2 + (3÷60)=16.5

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...

Tomb of Ramesses II

Tomb of Ramesses II Ramesses II, also known as Ramesses the Great , was buried in Tomb KV7 , located in the Valley of the Kings , Egypt. He was the son of Seti I and Tuya and reigned from 1279 to 1213 BCE. He constructed monuments at Abu Simbel , Abydos , Rame sseum, L uxor, a nd Karnak . 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...
