Well, you can't escape the numerologists, can you....

Ahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even at somewhere as supposedly sane as the ARCE Annual Meeting they come crawling out of the woodwork

I spotted one in this years schedule and ducked out of the Giza session for a bit of light entertainment. The author made two big mistakes. Firstly he distributed a handout and secondly he asked for any questions.

Having skimmed through his handout I noted that he had the correct reference for the latest, most up to date, measurements of the Red pyramid; a slope of 45 degrees, but had used the older, now superseded, measurements of 43 and a bit degrees. When the questions came I was in like Flint ! His basic answer was that the older measurements gave an interesting Pythogorean triple.

Nuff said (c).

Petrie was right.

Anybody masochistic enough to want to learn more can find it here: [www.atara.net]

Perhaps we should have a list of the purveyors of numerological drivel ?
