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 Entrance A 14.01m by 3.66m (51.2766) Corridor B 15.17m by 3....

Tikal Temples

Tikal Temples

Image in the public domain


Tikal Temples are a group of major structures at Tikal. This is one of the largest cities and archaeological sites of the pre-Columbian Maya civilization. It is located in the Petén Basin region of northern Guatemala.
Tikal Temple I on the site is also known as the Temple of the Great Jaguar. It is a typically Petén-styled limestone stepped pyramid structure that is dated to approximately 732 ad.

Coordinates
17.221118,-89.625168

On site, there are the following buildings Mundo Perdido or The Lost World, Seven Temples, Palacio de las Acanaladuras, and North Acropolis, Tikal.
The temples are numbered up to 5 as
Temple of the Great Jaguar (temple 1),
Temple of the Masks (temple 2)
Tikal Temple III (temple 3),
Templo de la Sepiente Bicefala (temple 4) and
Tikal Temple V (temple 5).

Temple angles and separation distances
Temple I is at 3°
Temple II is at 12° and 255 ft
Temple III is at 15° and 500 ft
Temple IV is at 8° and 1200 ft
Temple V is at 7° and 2480 ft

Description
Temple I - 9 layers
Temple II - 3 layers (directly opposite Temple I)
Temple III - 10 layers
Temple IV - 6 layers
Temple V - 6 layers
From the temple angles and separation distances and description above, it can be shown that they connect together by their angle multipled by the layers multipled by distance in feet.
Temple I would just be 3×9=27 but Temple II would be 12×3=36 then 36×255=9180.

Temple I
3×9=27

Temple II
12×3=36
36×255=9180
9180÷3600=2.55

Temple III
15×10=150
150×500=75000
75000÷3600=20.83

Temple IV
8×6=48
48×1200=57600
57600÷3600=16

Temple V
7×6=42
42×2480=104160
104160÷3600=28.93

After applying for each, it shows that Temple III and V could be connected via Major Standstill with a difference of 100 or 1860 years. Dividing this by Temple II gives 729 and divided again gives 27.
Major Standstill
28.93-28.725=0.2083
1860÷2.55=729.4
729÷27=27

This could suggest Temple I is '1', and this also leaves Temple IV.
If using 729 as a year for construction, the angle would be 1.12995°, if this is multipled by 16 and subtracted from the Minor Standstill a number 0.055 is produced. For it to be zero and equal modern day Minor Standstill of 18.134° then the year would be 731 ad as a construction date.

729÷1000=0.729
0.729×1.55=1.12995°

16×1.12995=18.0792
18.0792−18.134=0.055


Conclusion
It shows from above that each major temple is connected to another one. The connection is angle/layers/distance/3600. The use of 3600 shows that they used 24 hrs in a day as 3600 is one hour. They didn't use Mayan base 20 as that would be 4320 seconds. The use of a Major/Minor Standstill shows there are similarities as this is a main feature of other Mesoamerica sites but also shows that base 20 unique to the Mayans was not used, a possibility exists that 3600 was 10 times 360 and not seconds in an hour.

There is no real pattern to the overall site, but as the main temples require accurate separation distances, then all other buildings were built incorporating these factors.
