Tomb of Ramesses II

Tomb of Ramesses II Ramesses II, also known as Ramesses the Great, was buried in Tomb KV7, located in the Valley of the Kings, Egypt. He was the son of Seti I and Tuya and reigned from 1279 to 1213 BCE. He constructed monuments at Abu Simbel, Abydos, Rame sseum, L uxor, a nd Karnak. Coordinates 25.740776,32.601625 Description Current measurements divide the tomb into three levels: level 1, the entrance corridor; level 2, the pillared chamber; and level 3, the burial chamber and rooms. 3D mapping of the tomb enables measurements to be taken.

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.
