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....
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

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.
