Do we have the Biggest Ruler in the World at Giza ?

Two weeks ago I presented a new and planned geometry of Giza.
It has been verified by Don and Wayne beyond doubt.
It has been proven incontrovertibly by mathematics.

One of the concerns of Maat readers is the difficulty of measuring 2000c over rough ground.
And many of the criticisms of Don and Wayne’s diagrams are that these lines could not be drawn on the ground.
So if the Ancient Egyptians had a giant straight and level ruler then all these practical objections would vanish ? Yes ?

Well perhaps they actually built one ! See it is marked on the aerial view.



Regarding the 2000 cubit line at 45 degrees, it would seem that the straight extension of the ruler passed through the end point of the 2000c line.

There are two scales on the ruler at right angles. The north-south one could be used in the construction of G2, and the smaller east-west one could have been used in the construction of G3. See here : [homepage.ntlworld.com]

These seem to be the dimensions :



It shows again that G2 and G3 were planned together

Here are Petrie’s comments on the structure

“For what purpose, then, can such a vast amount of accommodation have been provided? Not certainly for priests' dwellings, since it is too extensive, too rough in work, and in the very opposite direction to the temples. Hardly either for storehouses, since it is so much out of the way, and too large for any likely amount of stores. It seems, therefore, only attributable to the workmen's barracks. The work is just suitable for such a purpose; strong and useful and with about as much elaboration as an Egyptian would put into work that had to last in daily use for one or two generations. The extent of the galleries is also very reasonable. Supposing the men had a fair allowance of room (more than in some works at present) the whole barrack would hold about 4,000 men and such would not be an unlikely number for the permanent staff of masons and their attendants employed on a pyramid. There is no probability of the walls being later than the Second Pyramid, because (1) they are arranged square with it; (2) at a part of the hill which would be out of the way for any other work; and (3) they are built of exactly the same style as the adjoining western peribolus wall and the retaining walls.”

If this was a 500 metre giant ruler, as seems likely – it really is a fantastic monument and should be excavated for all to see !
