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....

Pantheon in Rome, Italy, is thought to have been commissioned by Marcus Agrippa during the reign of Augustus but was completed by the emperor Hadrian. Various additions were added from the original construction in 27 bc, but it is said to have burned down at least once, with further restoration work in the 20th century, including a metal reinforced roof.

It can be said that the surface area of a sphere has the same surface area of a cylinder with the same radius.
The surface of the cylinder can be said to be at a ratio of 3:2 of that of a sphere along with its volume.
If the Pantheon is in the volume of a sphere, then its floor area would be the cross section of a sphere or one side of a cylinder (1526m²).

Facade
Width 116.74×30.48=35.58m
Side 47.78×30.48=14.56m
Area 518.2m²

Pantheon
Surface Area 4πr²
Sphere 4×π×22.04²=6104m²
Cylinder 9156-3052=6104m²

Roman Units
The Roman cubit (cubitum) was 1½ Roman feet (17.48 inches)
Five Roman feet made the pace (passus), 1.48 metres (58.23 inches).

With a diameter measured at 44.08m, then the following are produced.
=99.28 cubits
=148.92 ft
=29.78 pace

Conversion from metres to feet/cubitums for area/volume.
Cubitum 2.252/11.425
Foot 3.378/38.56


Pantheon
Volume 4/3πr³
Sphere 44845.97m
Cylinder 67268.95m
44845.97÷67268.95=0.666


The alternative diameter of 43.30m produces the following measurements for area and volume but notably doesn't alter the ratios.
Using 43.30m
Area 1472m²
Volume 42507m³




Conclusion
If there is a construction connection with the pyramids, then it could be linked to a ratio or a cubit. This is possible as the construction of the Pantheon was not long after the takeover of Egypt, with a connection to Julius Caesar. Buildings could have been influenced by events during their construction, along with methods and measurements.

The facade of the Pantheon has an area of 518m². This is the alternative error ratio of the pyramids at Giza.
With the ratio of area/volume connected to the sphere/cylinder, it can be said to be as
1÷(φ+0.05) or 3/2
and the floor area at 1526m² as
((1+cubit)+0.003)×1000
This uses the golden ratio and separation angle for volume and a cubit and queen's chamber error in the floor area.
The shorter diameter of 43.30m interestingly has an error of 0.05 from a cubit.
((1+cubit)-0.05)×1000

From the entrance of the Queen's chamber in Khufu's pyramid, a 2 by 3.28 cubit measurement is made. If this width/height difference is nearer to √φ, then the two ratios are 0.05 out (equal to pyramid separation distance). If the measurement is correct, then it could be 3.2808, which as a number is 1/100 of 100m in feet, although it doesn't adjust the ratio very much.

In metres, it appears as
(1.72÷1.046)=1.644 (φ+0.03)
Or roughly
(2+√φ)÷2
This, though, uses some numbers from both and leaves 10.46 (20 cubits).


Alternatively, considering that the period from its construction in 27 BC until 1985 equates to 2012 years, this converted into an angle is very nearly π. For it to be exactly π, it would have had to be built in 42 BC; as it stands, it is 0.02 away. Considering the shape and the uniqueness of its construction, connecting it with π and Romulus could have been a possibility, along with Julius Caesar's death, which might have postponed it for another event.


Also, with most Roman buildings, there wasn't any alignment north/south or east/west, and buildings were built leading away from temples and important buildings. As the Pantheon is considered quite important, it marked an important event (like victory over Greece and Egypt), but if it were even more important, it might have been connected to Romulus (the founder of Rome), and as such, its importance might never be fully understood.

Menhir de Manemeur

 Menhir de Manemeur The Menhir de Manemeur or menhirs de Mané-Meur is a menhir in the town of its name in Quiberon, a commune in the French department of Morbihan.  The menhirs in and around this commune can be individually identified as Menhir de la Pointe des Gueritte and Allée couverte, Menhir de Beg Er Goh Lannec, Menhir de Manemeur, and Menhir de Beg Er Goh Lannec. Cooridnates 47.481167,-3.136861 Description This menhir is at a junction in the village, while three others are on the west coastal path. The Alignements de Kerbourgnec are about 3 kilometers north of the village, and the Dolmen de Renaron can be found about 4 kilometers north, but it contains only one stone. The menhirs de Mané-Meur are identified as the three on the coast and not the tall stone in a garden as identified on Google Maps. Analysis Two stones of these menhirs are 97 meters apart to the west, and the smaller stone is located at 83° towards the southeast. These are 250 meters away from the village....

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...
