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...

Nubian Pyramids

Nubian Pyramids

image in the public domain

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. 


Coordinates Meroë
16.932797,33.730204


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.

Le dolmen de la Table des Marchands

Le dolmen de la Table des Marchands The dolmen of the Table des Marchands is a tomb located in Locmariaquer , Brittany, France . Along with the Er-Grah tumulus  and the Broken Menhir of Er Grah , they are the Locmariaquer megaliths . The Er-Grah tumulus is a cairn. The Broken Menhir of Er Grah refers to the broken menhir (which no longer stands) but includes what is thought to be a row of menhirs replaced by small local stones. Coordinates 47.571636,-2.949732 Description The tomb and cairn are located on an outcrop on the mainland at almost the same latitude as Gravinis and about 4 kilometers east. The tomb's entrance is at a 45° angle toward the southeast and is built from the same stone as the Er-Grah tumulus. It is a two-layer structure and roughly circular. One layer is 20 metres and the other 29 metres wide, and 15 metres and 23 metres long, respectively. Analysis Taking the difference in coordinates between the two sites as,...

Armenian Stonehenge

Armenian Stonehenge Carahunge is a prehistoric archaeological site near the town of Sisian in the Syunik Province of Armenia, also known as Zorats Karer and often referred to in international tourist lore as the "Armenian Stonehenge." Coordinates  39.551657,46.028949 Only a few of the Neolithic stone structures are representative of stellar objects; one of these is the Armenian Stonehenge (Constellation Crater and Hydra), which contains 223 stones. Greek and Roman constellations originated from the Chaldean and Babylonian people.  Some have suggested that it resembles the stars in the M8 Lagoon Nebula, with a central group of stars surrounded by a ring of stars leading in opposite directions. Description  The Armenian Stonehenge is aligned north-south at its maximum peak in 1985. On the northern side, there is a circular section that features an underground room. This room, along with its corridors, could have been a religious prayer room. Possibilities  The possi...
