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...

Queen's Chamber 

Queen's Chamber
CC BY-SA 3.0

Queen's Chamber Khufu's pyramid is below the King's chamber and is of a similar size and shape but with the difference that it includes a niche.
The chamber is constructed of smaller blocks with the walls made up of six blocks high, and the niche is formed from a gap of these six block layers.
The gap starts at three cubits wide and reduces to one cubit with an angle of 12°.

It has been stated that Khufu's chamber sarcophagus which measures 0.987m high, 1.051m wide and 2.276m long and with a volume of 16.5 cubits³ or 2.36m³ is connected by volume to a circle, 2 cubits and the golden ratio but what is the Queen's Chamber connected to?

Measurements
Width 10 cubits=5.23m
Length 11 cubits=5.756
Height 8.95 cubits=4.68m
Total height 11.816 cubits=6.18m
Entrance height/width
1.72m/1.046m
Niche (various)
1.27m-0.523m


Volume
140.88m³
984.92 cubits³
4975.35 ft³

Total height
6.18m ÷10= reciprocal of the golden ratio

Door ratio cubits/m
2 by 3.28
(1.72÷1.046)=1.644 (0.03 off φ)


Possible interpretations
Possible interpretations are (all in cubits)
width × length × niche slope=1320 cubit³
or
width × length × height=1300 cubit³
10×11×12=1320
10×11×11.816
1320-1300=20


In m³
186.042÷17.74=10.49
10.49−10.46=0.02715m³

Sphere for 0.02715m³ = 0.1855m
So the volume is 10.46φ + 0.1855 cubits

This can be considered as 10.46 spheres of radius φ plus a smaller 0.1855 radius sphere of ratio (1.046÷(1+φ)).


Total/Actual volume in m³
140.886+45.156
140.886+22.578

In cubits
√1300=36.052
√1143=33.805

King's chamber
√2042=45.189

Queen's chamber
Ceiling (√2042+0.03)÷2
Room ³√(2042÷984)


Here it shows that the room is considered as a height of 6.18m with the two proportions deduced as ratios of Khufu's chamber.
The ceiling of the Queen's chamber in m³ is proportional with Khufu's chamber in the ratio √volume plus 0.03, both rooms are proportional to the cubed root of their ratios ³√King/Queen, the ratio is √φ.
The factor of 0.03 could be the entrance ratio error off φ, or with this just being a building limitation. Multiplying the two numbers then a number 1.8 is achieved and connects with the volume of the sphere as 0.1855m extra.
The 0.1855m radius is very similar to the volume in cubits of 0.02715m³ which equals 0.185 cubits³.

(0.1855° is also a number for obliquity from maximum tilt to mid point obliquity, max tilt was in 1985, and mid point is 1584 years later)

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...
