Tomb of Tutankhamun

 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 meters
4.21 cubits



Analysis:

Using the 360° calculations from the tomb of Ramesses II.

108.36 ÷ 360 = 0.30
396.14 ÷ 360 = 1.10

The burial chamber's area in square meters is approximately equal to the latitude. 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 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 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...
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 point was sealed before.
