Hi Mark,

Personally I don't think the Ancient Egyptians used pi. If they had used pi there would have been at least a notation of it somewhere in their archives. This doesn't mean they weren't capable of deriving pi answers through the use of the 5 1/2 seked.



The casing base of 1760 cubits relating to the height has a ratio of 6 2/7 which of course being we are trained in pi, pi is exactly what we see. It is all simple fractional mathematics when employing the methods of the Ancient Egyptians as demonstrated in the papyri. The Ancient Egyptians system is unique in that it allows each cubit and unit fraction to express a very exact and precise collection of ideas in the world of mathematics without adhering to our traditional rules of system or sequence. What doesn’t make sense to me and the real folly is Ancient Egyptians were not even remotely aware of our methods. Yet we insist on applying our methods when attempting to solve what they intended with their methods. Finding what made sense to them and was intended can only be accomplished by the use of their system components of unit fractions, seked and cubits and their binary system of multiplication also known as the Eye of Horace based on the powers of two: (1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, 1/64) equaling 63/64.
For instance it is widely accepted the Grand Gallery sloping floor represents 88 cubits, (616 palms, 2464 digits) Anyone who has calculated this figure knows it fractionally equal to 1/20 the accepted perimeter of G1 being 1760 cubits:
In turn makes the horizontal roof length of the Grand Gallery 80 cubits, (560 palms. 2240 digits) is 1/22 G1 perimeter:
The Queens chamber length of 11 cubits, (77 palms, 308 digits*) is 1/160 G1 perimeter: the Queens Chamber width of 10 cubits, (70 palms, 280 digits) is 1/176 G1 perimeter the same as the width of Kings Chamber is equal to 1/176 the perimeter:
The length of the Kings Chamber is 20 cubits, (140 palms, 560 digits) equal to 1/88 G1 perimeter:
11 + 1/4 + 1/7 + 1/28 or 113/7 cubits, (80 palms, 320 digits) is the height of the Kings Chamber (measured from the base of the block wall) is 1/154 the perimeter:
Therefore the North Wall perimeter of the Kings Chamber is 11 3/7 + 20 + 20 + 11 3/7 = 62 6/7 cubits 440 palms 1760 digits and is 1/28 the perimeter of G1.
If one follows the above drawing will find the figures in the drawing are 1/10 scale of the actual dimensions found in the Grand Gallery Kings Chamber. In other words stated in cubits the width of the Kings Chamber (10 cubits) times 8 equals (80 cubits the horizontal Roof length Grand Gallery) divided by G1 run-rise (11/14) equals (62 6/7)the perimeter of the North Wall of the Kings Chamber. The key to G1's intended is the perimeter of the North Wall of the Kings Chamber or 1/28 (one digit) of the perimeter.
