Hello Don,

I'm not at all comfortable with the hypotheses that the dimensions of Khufu's pyramid incorporate information about the Earth size, density, weight, distance from the Sun and so on (believe it or not, even the volume of the earth's crust above mean sea-level is on one such list!*).

For me the biggest fault here is that nobody ever explains how the AEs could have discovered this kind of data.

However, I fully agree with your view that "Playing with numbers can be such sport." - it's kept me out of mischief this last three decades
