Kaʕaba does not represent golden ratio

Some muslims believe that the ratio between the distances from South Pole to Kaʕaba and from North Pole to Kaʕaba is golden , but is that certain? To calculate that ratio we have to divide by the number of latitude units south of the Kaʕaba and the number of latitude units north of the Kaʕaba. Distance from South Pole to Kaʕab a/ Distance from North Pole to Kaʕab a = Golden ratio? The number of latitude units south of the kaaba is the 90 latitude units of the Southern Hemisphere plus the Kaʕaba latitude. And the number of latitude units north of the kaaba is the 90 latitude units of the Northern Hemisphere minus the Kaʕaba latitude: (90+x)/(90-x) = φ? Then we need to find the Kaʕaba latitude, which is 21.4225°N¹. Now we can calculate the ratio and the result is: (90+21,4225)/(90-21,4225)≅1,624768 ≠ φ≅1,618034 So the result is not the golden ratio . The result is  ≅0,006734 units higher than golden ratio. So if Kaʕaba latitude is not golden ratio latitud
