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...
Nubian Pyramids
Nubian Pyramids are located in the area of the Nile valley known as Nubia.
They were built by the rulers of the ancient Kushite kingdoms. The three kingdoms were Kerma, Napata, and Meroë.
Most pyramids of this kind were built of granite and sandstone.

Dimensions
168cms height (ratio÷8=21)
115cms base (ratio÷5=23)
Although this seems like a 5:8 ratio it is actually 5:7.3, proportions are 5/8 and numerically equal to 0.685 which is 0.07 from the √φ were as the ratio base/height 115÷168 is 0.007 away from √φ.
(a ratio of 5:8.09 is equal to √φ)
This suggests a cubit is being used but not directly suggesting that 8.2° is nearer or as numbers a cubit and 8.2.
These ratios in themselves also suggest the cubit as in 5 parts of 23 units for the base and 8 parts of 21 units for the height/slope. As the 8.2 is the angle, it makes sense as the slope. The 8×21 slope is equal to 168 with full height as 184.
The following shows that the perimeter (of Khufu's pyramid) divided by km/degree equals 8.275 and it's height divided by the cubit equals the base of Khufu's (converting the 8.275 into 8×27.5).
A measure of 220 being 36 taller than 184 but 52 taller than 168, this could suggest cubit less than height or cubit base height.
921.2÷111.3194=8.275
8×21=168
8×27.5=220
220×0.523=115.06
(This isn't the same for all with the availability to measure other tombs around Giza recently showing that although some are connected to the cubit, some are in ratios and some connected with the φ).
Conclusion
This is just one of the multitude of pyramids in that area but like the recent availability to gain measurements from other tombs around Giza, it has shown that they varied in the use of the φ or π.
If 220 is 36 taller than 184 but 52 taller than 168, this could suggest a cubit less than height or cubit base height, but also there could have been an object on the peak representing a cubit.
Connecting tombs and other pyramids in the ratios used on Khufu's pyramid would have meant importance. Importance was defined elsewhere as those who used Khufu's pyramid measurements were held in higher esteem.
