Hi again MJ.

Playing with numbers can be such sport. Let us consider the circuference of the earth. Here is what is found at Google:

The circumference of the earth at the equator is 24,901.55 miles (40,075.16 kilometers).

The circumference of the earth at the equator is 24,902 mi / 40,076 km.

Now let's for argument's sake say it is 25132.74 miles in circumeference (= +/- 1%). If we take Giza which is at 30 degrees north and the equator as a baseline then we can say that the pryamid is 1/8th the distance of the circumference and interestingly doesn't that just yield for us ... 3141.59 miles !

Cheers
Don Barone
