Anthony,

You write, 'Why would you ask me to look for 22/7 (3 1/7) after explaining that it is not that number which we find in the pyramid's slope.'

You can twist and turn the wording anyway you like, but the fact remains that seked 5 1/2 naturally incorporates (not sure that's the correct term but it'll have to do for now) the ratio 22/7.

You need to address the question: why seked 5 1/2?
What prompted the choice of this seked?
Could it not be that it was its naturally 'incorporating' the ratio of a circle's radius/diameter to its circumference as 3 1/7 that made it appealing to Khufu or whoever it was who chose it as one of the key factors in the designing his Pyramid?
The royal cubit with its 7 palms lends itself magnificently to 22/7; can you be that sure that the mathematicians and architects behind Khufu's pyramid didn't ever notice this?

This ratio appears repeatedly (40+ times) throughout the dimensions of this Pyramid as multiplication or division by 3 1/7 - this is an irrefutable fact.
They appear in a consistent pattern beginning with the KC and ending with the recess in the west wall of the Subterranean Chamber - this is an irrefutable fact.

Your blindly refusing to look for these occurrences of this ratio for yourself (or opting for the easier course of simply denying they exist without first checking) is not going to make them go away - nor is your constantly arguing that the AEs did not know that the circumference of a circle is, to all intents and purposes 3 1/7 times the diameter - or two times the radius times 3 1/7.

All you in effect are doing with this thread is once again deny the existence of something purely because you cannot or will not see it as anything other than a coincidence.

That Khufu's people knew what we call pi as 3 1/7 is totally plausible.
The Pyramid's myriad of dimensions act as silent witnesses to the fact that 3 1/7 was used extensively in its designing.
Mindlessly repeating like some mantra that: the 4th Dyn. pyramid builders did not know pi (as any value), is a totally pointless exercise.
