The "squaring the circle"-arguments are a product of modern minds. One has to try to replace her/himself into the mind of the Ancient Egyptians. These people certainly did not think within the concepts of maths we have today. There also was simply no need to do so. I retain my view that you do not need much 'math' (what's in a name ?) to build tens of quadrangles of diminishing size on top of each other (limestone-block courses) to achieve a pyramidal shape.
