Lauer is surprised by the circumstance that the total Complex is build on a rectangle of 1040 x 530 cubits

[www.metrum.org]

Near squares ???

This has a close cross angle of 62 degrees 59' 45.27". What if this is supposed to be EXACTLY 63 degrees [ie 3 x 21] ???

Tan 27 = 0.509525
Tan 27 - 0.5 = 0.095254
1 / tan 27 - 0.5 = 104.98 [ie 105]
105 x Tan 27 = 53.500172 [ie 210 : 107]

210 ??
3 x 21 = 63 ??
28 fingers = 21 thumbs ??

105 and 1040 ???? for the length.
100 x 28 fingers = 99 x 20 x sqrt 2 fingers.
210 / 107 = 1050 / 535

Are we actually looking at a rectangle with an exact angle of Atan 1050 / 535.... 28 finger cubits = 63.0000746 degrees ??

40,007,862,917 mm Polar Circumference Modern Millimeter
40,007,862,917 / (60 * 60 * 60 * 10,000) = 18.522158 mm finger
28 fingers = 518.620445 mm = 20.418127 british inches
20 x sqrt = 523.885762 mm = 20.625423 british inches

1050 * 518.620445 = 544,551 mm
544,551.46725 / 523.885762 = 1039.446968 remen royal cubit
1050 * 0.99 = 1039.5

535 * 518.620445 = 277,462 mm
277461.938075 / 523.885762 = 529.622979 remen royal cubit
535 * 0.99 = 529.65

Where does the 544.90 x 277.60 m come from ??
