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...

Amphipolis

Amphipolis
Author Berthold Werner


Amphipolis was a Greek city founded by the Athenians in eastern Macedonia on the Strymon River in 438-437 bc. It later became a Roman city, whose remains can still be seen.

During Alexander the Great's Asia campaign, his wife and child resided at Amphipolis along with his generals. Towards the northeast of the archaeological site is the Kasta tomb and towards the south the Lion of Amphipolis, a tomb to one of Alexander's generals with the Kasta in honour of him.

Kasta tomb
40.839325,23.863121

Kasta tomb a burial complex site is ten times larger than the tomb of Alexander's father, Philip II of Macedon, archaeologists think that it was probably built by the architect Dinocrates, who was a technical adviser and friend to Alexander the Great.

Measurements
Although the coordinates multipled equal 974, 40 multipled 23 is equal to 920, a number one less than Khufu's pyramid perimeter.
40.839325×23.863121=974.554
40×23=920
As Alexander's final plan was to conquer Egypt and become pharaoh, it is possibly connected as his final destination.

Kasta tomb is 500ft in diameter and 1570ft in circumference, also equal to 479m. 479 is being used in a number of Greek locations as the year after the Carthaginians' invasion in 480 bc.
An accurate measurement to Khufu's pyramid gives a distance of 1374 km.
If used as the circumference of Kasta tomb in feet, it would give a diameter of 437ft.
1374.24÷π=437.43

This is equal to the date the city was founded by the Athenians.
Although there is a defined circumference of the tomb built of stone, the reduction could equate to the length of the burial chamber at 196ft.
