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...
Tomb of Tutankhamun
The Tomb of Tutankhamun (KV62) is located in the Valley of the Kings, Egypt. It was excavated by archaeologist Howard Carter in 1922. The tomb belonged to Tutankhamun, who reigned 1332–1323 BC.
His tomb is considered mostly intact and free from water damage. It consists of four rooms and a corridor, some of which are decorated.
Artifacts recovered from the tomb are available to be seen in the Grand Egyptian Museum in Giza.

Description
Tutankhamun's tomb lies in the Valley of the Kings, facing east, and is near the tomb of Ramesses II. The measurements, from a study of the tomb, are available online.
These are both in metres and cubits.
Corridor
14.2 × 1.7 metres
88.25 cubits
Antechamber
3.6 × 8 metres
105.29 cubits
Annex
2.6 × 4.6 metres
43.72 cubits
Burial Chamber
6.4 × 4.0 metres
93.59 cubits
Treasury
3.8 × 4.7 metres
65.29 cubits
The total floor areas are in metres and cubits.
Total floor area in metres:
24.14 + 28.8 + 11.96 + 25.6 + 17.86 = 108.36
Total floor area in cubits:
65.29 + 93.59 + 43.72 + 105.29 + 88.25 = 396.14
The volume in metres and cubits:
238.392 cubic metres
1667.75 cubic cubits
Average height measurements used:
2.20 metres
4.21 cubits
Analysis:
If using the same calculations as from the tomb of Ramesses II and including the use of 360° as one rotation, the following are produced.
108.36 ÷ 360 = 0.30
396.14 ÷ 360 = 1.10
The burial chamber's area in square metres is approximately equal to the latitude from the coordinates of the location. From this angle in degrees, a date can be calculated:
6.4 × 4.0 = 25.6
32.601356 − 25.740406 = 6.86095
6.86095 ÷ 1.55 = 4.4264
4.4264 × 1,000 = 4426.4
4426.4 − 1985 = 2441.4 bc
Subtracting the latitude from the longitude produces an angle of 6.86°. Subtracting Tutankhamun's reign, a number of 1.72°, produces a result near the measured width of the corridor.
The year 1345 BCE would equal an angle of 1.70°. The year used is from his regin, 1332–1323 BCE.
Tutankhamun's reign: 5.14135°.
6.86 − 5.14135 = 1.72°.
This number could represent the corridor's width at 1.7 metres. If only the length is considered, the following applies.
7.6 + 1 + 4.7 = 13.3
32.601 + 13.3 = 45.901
1.618 × π × 9 ≈ 45.747
The difference between the two is 0.153. This could be a measurement difference, but if considering the following calculations.
32.601 − 45.747 = 13.146
13.146 − 7.6 − 4.7 = 0.846
1 − (0.846) = 0.152
This suggests the measurements are correct and connect directly to the latitude and 9πφ.
Treasury
3.8 × 4.7 = 17.86 metres
65.202 cubits
65.202 ÷ 2 = 32.601
32.601 - 32.65 = -0.049
This leaves the antechamber and annex, which are measured in cubits.
The build date of the Bent Pyramid or the Red Pyramid is considered as approximately 2618 BCE.
105.29 × 43.72 = 4603.80
4603.80 − 1985 = 2618.80
2618 BCE
Conclusion
The burial chamber and treasury can be considered linked to the coordinates for the location aligned in 1985 AD. Other numbers are 2,441.42, 2618, 0.152, and 0.05. These could be a build date as 2441 BCE and 2618 BCE, 0.152 as one-tenth of 1.52, and 0.05 as an alignment angle. The corridor, as measured, is linked to the latitude and 9πφ as a difference in length, and 0.152.
(Latitude is an arbitrarily chosen reference point, agreed upon by a committee, from which to measure astronomical objects)
It is likely that these rooms in the tomb relate to the building dates of past constructions, their cubit measurements, and coordinates as defined in 1985.
Only the burial chamber area connects to the longitude location; no other numbers connect except the total floor area. These produce a ratio which is not used. Other rooms connect to build dates as in other tombs.
A difference of 2 cm from the corridor's width would alter the accuracy required to subtract from 9πφ.
(All numbers in the conclusion rely on the corridor's length)
When leaving the burial chamber and corridor from the volume, the following are produced:
82.76 ÷ 302.55 = 0.27354
84.22 ÷ 307.89 = 0.27353
Multiplying this number by one hundred approximates a sidereal month, a number used in Ramesses II's tomb.
It is possible that the corridor was a later addition, with a width of 1.7 metres. 9πφ has been shown to date to an earlier time, similar to the date 2441 BC. This would have been known to builders from that time.
If the corridor is not included in the floor area, then the ratio of metres to cubits, when multiplied by one hundred, approximates a sidereal month.
84.22 ÷ 307.89 = 0.27353
This suggests an older, already-made tomb was reused for Tutankhamun. This could be because another location was selected at the time, and the tomb sealed. Only when a new tomb was being built was a corridor added to the build. Any other access points were sealed before.
