Anthony,

Do you accept that the 'importance' here is presumed and in actuality might have been nothing more than a number of kings/pharaohs/architects finding the ratio sufficiently aesthetically pleasing to incorporate it in one or more parts of the respective designs of their pyramids?

Do you accept or rebut the hypothesis that not every aspect of a pyramid's design had to be of some religious (in its broadest sense and to include spiritual, mythological et al) significance?
