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, Ramesseum, Luxor, and 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.


Measurements
Entrance corridor;
22.90m by 2.61m /44 by 5 cubits
Floor area: 220 sq cubits

Opening in corridor
8.35m by 8.35m by 3.7m
Floor area: 70 sq m²
Volume: 259m³/1795 cubit³

Room off corridor
7.85×8.48×3.10 m
Floor area: 66.50 sq m
Volume: 206.4 m³/1442.5 cubit³

Room off corridor (2)
5.38×3.30×2.63 m
Floor area: 46.7 sq m
Volume 46.7 m³/326.4 cubit³


End of corridor
6.3×5.72×2.82
Floor area: 36 sq m
Volume: 101.6 m³/710 cubit³

1st room
13.15×13.86×6.37
1161 m³/8115 cubit³

Small room (1)
3.16×2.68×2.18
18.46 m³/129 cubit³

Small room (2)
2.65×3.34×2
17.7 m³/123.7 cubit³



Analysis
With an understanding of how measurements are taken, it is possible to state that the measurements for this tomb were made in cubits.
Some of these measurements are for sizing, and some are linked to a cubit with a connection to certain events or builds.

Although the end result of the calculation, in square metres for area or cubic metres for volume, does not immediately indicate an event or other builds, the total volume squared, minus 10, then divided by 360°, gives numbers that could be considered.
This could suggest the volume in terms of 360° or one rotation.

(From above)
220
0.013

1795

1442
0.077

326
0.022

710
0.046

8115
0.25

129
0.003

123
0.003

The total produces 0.5049 to four decimal points, or due to any errors 0.50. This is equal to 50%.



Conclusion
It was typical for the ancient Egyptians to use metres or cubits as measurements in buildings or tombs. If those measurements then aligned in area or volume with pharaoh's pyramid or tomb, that individual would be considered important.

In these measurements, using cubits and 360°, the total equals 50%. This could mean several things, such as that the tomb was used by two people at different times, or that another tomb connects to this one.

Another calculation could be astrological, where the total area is just divided by 360°, and the product is converted to tilt if less than one or left as a whole number if greater.

(From above)
0.6 387
5.0
4.0
1.0
2.0
22.5
0.36 231
Adding the two odd numbers, these are less than one. Then dividing by 1000 equals the root of the golden ratio. The root of the golden ratio connects to Khafre's pyramid. 

If the sum of two odd numbers, 618, is divided by the number 22.5, the result is approximately an anomalistic month, which is 27.554551 days. The Tomb of Tutankhamun was connected to a sidereal month.

387 + 231 = 618
618 ÷ 22.5 = 27.467
27.555 - 27.467 = 0.088

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.  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 possibility of which Chinese constellations conflicted with the rise of European interpretations of the Vermilion Bird and the Azure Dragon, which are Chinese interpreta...
