Hello Anthony,

You write, 'If your hypothesis says that mathematical calculations were the driving force behind the placement of the rooms or designs of the architectural features, then it doesn't involve Egyptology, either.

Ah, the beauty of my hypothesis is that it doesn't say or even remotely suggest "mathematical calculations were the driving force behind the placement of the rooms or designs of the architectural features".

Broadly, it is my contention that the architect sketched out his and or Khufu's design of three chambers linked together by three interconnecting passages, etc., according to some non-mathematical and non-geometrical pattern (I leave the question of "Why this pattern?" to folks such as yourself).
I then hypothesise (in exhaustive and boring detail) on how the dimensions of the chambers, passages, and other features came to be what they are (or, allowing for obvious wear and tear, were).

There is no "basic, insurmountable problem". smiling smiley
