Too much attention has been spent on the King’s Chamber while other aspects of the structure are overlooked; yet they contain immense knowledge.
The angle of the base casing of G1 was measured by Petrie and he gave greater “weight” to his theodolite measure of 51d 46’ 45” +/- 2’ 7”…or… 51.78 +/- 0.035 degrees.
Using the linear information provided within the Queen’s chamber, the calculated angle of the structure would be 51.805 degrees…within the tolerance calculated by Petrie.
It requires a little thought to work out the method I used.
