Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa The Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa are located in Alexandria, Egypt. Half a kilometer to the northeast is the Serapeum of Alexandria, which is another archaeological site in the area. The Serapeum of Alexandria is considered to have been built by the Greeks in the 3rd century BC. Coordinates 31.178942, 29.893170 Description The site is thought to date to the Hellenistic period, and Roman, Greek, and Egyptian cultural attributes can be found throughout. The site is considered to have three levels dug into the rock, being up to 35 meters deep. The Catacombs consist of a triclinium, dining room, rotunda, Hall of Caracalla, and sarcophagi. The entrance is from the southeast side near the staircase at a 40° angle. The Catacombs' size is 25 metres by 50 metres. It is thought the site was an earlier burial ground where visitors brought clay pots of food for themselves, leaving the pots as they departed. Hence, this is where the name derived from.

Chimney Rock National Monument
The Chimney Rock National Monument consists of Chimney Rock Pueblo, Chimney Rock Great Kiva, the Amphitheater, Chimney Rock, and the visitor center. These are found in the southwest of Colorado, USA.

The archaeological site has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places in the USA since 1970.
The Pueblo Indians are thought to have inhabited the Chimney Rock area from about 925 AD. Later, the Chacoans held ceremonial events in and around the Chimney Rock area, this was part of the Chaco culture, which was priest-led.
Coordinates
37.175075,-107.303459
Description
The peak of the rock that represents Chimney Rock is 1289 metres high. The buildings are mostly made of stone sourced from the surrounding area. What remains intact of the buildings are mostly the stone layers used to build of the lower part of the walls.
Analysis
The dwellings consist of circular buildings at the edge of a maze of rooms on the nearby ridge. These rooms vary is size but are not larger than the circular buildings which range between 4 and 12 metres in width.
As Chimney Rock's peak is 1289 metres, and 90 metres above the surrounding area, the buildings can be said to be at an elevation of 1200 metres.
The buildings have a 25° angle on the north face and a 17° angle on the south face.
When built in 925 AD, the angles would have been 1.643° greater. These angles would then be 26.643° and 18.643°.
The site's size is governed by the size of the ridge on which it was constructed. As such, it occupies nearly all the available space there.
The angle 1.643° corresponds to the period from 925 AD to the maximum tilt in 1985 AD. This value is close to the golden ratio, 1.618. The value 1.618 would correspond to the year 941 AD.
Conclusion
It is possible a golden ratio of 1.618 was included in the build, but this is unclear. Another possibility is connected to the feet-to-metres ratio, approximately 3.28. 1.643 × 2 = 3.286. The site and its circles so far have been measured in metres, but in feet the largest circle could be 37.17 feet, which is the latitude for the location. This is 11.32 meters in width.
The longitude is 107.30°, and this distance, converted from feet to metres, equals 32.7 meters. This is one-tenth of the above ratio; for it to be 32.8 metres, the longitude would be 107.611°.
37.175075, -107.611
These coordinates would be a short distance west of the monument.
It can't be said for certain that the buildings are aligned to maximum tilt, but they were built at a time of 1.618° of tilt ago. The sizes of the buildings in feet produce the location coordinates for latitude and longitude, roughly to the feet-to-metres ratio. The 1.643° tilt is accurate, and multiplying by two equals 3.28. From here, you can convert the coordinates as feet into metres.
One-tenth could then multiply the 11.32-metre width of the circle to produce a number similar to km/°. This number is 111.3194 km/° at the equator, suggesting the coordinates are connected.
