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...
Angkor Wat អង្គរវត្ត
Angkor Wat in present day Angkor is a Buddhist temple complex in Cambodia and is the largest religious monument in the world.
Originally, a Hindu temple but by completion was converted for Buddhist.

The outer moat is 1480m long, 1249m wide, and is off by 6.7m east/west, at an angle of 0.26°. The temple itself is 200m by 175m, and a ratio here gives 0.875 +-0.03.
The temple is aligned east/west, and a 40° angle best describes the angle north with 41° towards the south.
Assuming the ratio length/width is the same, then it is about 0.875 +-0.03.
Suryavarman II and Jayavarman VII were both kings of the Khmer Empire during the building of Angkor Wat.
Suryavarman II was a Khmer king from 1113 ad to 1145-1150 ad, and Jayavarman VII was the king from 1181-1218.
Latitude
When using the equatorial circumference for the location, the following measurements are produced from the above coordinates. This shows that it is slightly rectangular and has an offset horizon from maximum tilt.
40075 × cos(13.406791)=38982.89
6.7m
1249m
1480m
The cubed root of length times width times by offset produces 822. This then from maximum tilt is the year 1163.
The second part shows that through their 'ratios of rule' ÷ by years from 1163 puts it about 1½ years off the midpoint between the two.
³√(1249×1480)×6.7=822.273

Conclusion
This suggests by it's size that completion was at some time between the two kings and as the site was so large that they used it to interpret a completion date. They used a date on either side of the maximum tilt offset, which produces a date and indicates either side of construction.
The area used for construction was probably chosen so as to be near a water source, in this case Siem Reap River. It is one of many constructions in the area, and although large in size is dwarfed by the nearby Angkor Thom and West Mebon (Baray).
Although the year 822 earlier from 1985 (1163 ad) is in the ratio of √φ° the site or temple isn't in the same ratio.
Overall, this suggests that although some alignment and ratios were included along with sunrise and sunset, the purpose of the temple was more spiritual and ritual than astrological.
