Seqeds are Egyptian. 3-4-5 triangles are not.

However, if one is going to insist that the "goal" was something other than a seqed that worked, I would ask the same tough question: Why?

I'm not sure what you mean by this.

Certainly.

This "triangle" doesn't actually appear at all. It is created by modern people selecting various dimensions of a structure and then imagining that they form a triangle.

You have no evidence that the AEs ever saw the hypotenuse that closed the triangle... only the legs that determine the seqed. That's the answer.
