Do you think that the builders had the intention to deliberately construct the GG so that, if we extend the floor of the ascending passage/grand gallery at the same angle to the southern face of the pyramid, the ratio between ... etc., etc. ? I am convinced it was not intentional. Pyramids are geometrical bodies that have always stimulated our imagination. We have always been eager to 'recognize' special and intentional arrangements/calculations, built-in by the designers, while, imo, the Ancient Egyptians' only goal was to create a 'revivication-device' (in the particular case of Khufu's) in the form of the mound (the benben) that arose from the primordial waters during the creation by Atum. The 'geometrical peculiarities' we like to see in the pyramids, are nothing but logical consequences from the planned and precise building of a large geometrical body. The 'peculiarities' were not intentional.
