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...

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)
