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.

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.

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