It appears that the architect's brief was to design a structure which the gods, including Khufu, would look down on in wonder. The pyramid was designed to be sealed at the bottom of the ascending passage with only a perilous access shaft up the so-called well which was an escape route for the builders who arranged for the granite plug blocks to slide into position. Therefore the priests left the pyramid tomb after the funerary rites. The pyramid was built for Khufu so all the intricacies of the design were for his benefit, but the funerary cult expected to receive divine benefits from Khufu for preserving his funerary cult in the adjacent temple.

In the legend of Khufu's Court the king was obsessed with discovering the secret chambers of Thoth, the moon god, and building something like them for his own pyramid. It was Khufu's pyramid, and called Khufu's Horizon. Khufu expected his soul to rise from his pyramid to the celestial domain, and yet remain inextricably linked to his pyramid where his body was encased in the sarcophagus which may have been regarded as having magical (geometric) dimensions invoking the soul of the king from his body, perhaps during a ceremony of the opening the mouth with a remarkable geometric transition on closing the lid. The sphere of the open sarcophagus disappears because the volume of the internal space is reduced on closure of the lid, but a new sphere appears symbolic of the king's destiny, or perhaps ensuring the king's destiny in their primitive fusion of religious beliefs with the nature of the universe. In Coptic legend the king ordered diverse spheres to be put in his pyramid.

The so-called Queen's Chamber probably housed a statue of the king, or a statue of the king's ka, so the impenetrable mass of stone was not a barrier to Khufu's ka, or spirit, as the twin or spiritual guardian of the king's soul. It is to be expected that this hidden chamber concealed a mystery, and I have proposed that its design represented the cycle of 309 lunar months in 25 calendar years of 365 days. In 2008, at the second British Egyptology Conference, I presented a model of chamber as a picture of 1460 years, with the length of the chamber in 3 positions as precisely equal to 309 digits, but didn't mention the cycle of 309 lunar months as far as I recall. The chair of the meeting, Dr M. Bommas, commented on the ancient perception of time, and how rare it is to find this in architecture. I had proposed that the designer knew that 4 calendar years of 365 days was 1 day short of 4 solar years.

The design of the King's chamber allowed the king's soul, or ba, access to the celestial bodies of the night sky through the north shaft, and to the sun during the day through the south shaft, so like a pair of dual carriageways with the chamber as central station. The top of the long walls is 0.645 inches shorter at the top than the bottom as the mean of 0.64 inches and 0.65 inches so the length of the chamber was not 20 cubits at the top and bottom. The east and west walls lean in ever so slightly. Similarly the east and west walls of the Queen's Chamber both lean in 14 arc minutes, so extremely unlikely to be a coincidence. The point here is not to explain the anomalies, which you don't want at this juncture, but to identify that the pyramid has many peculiar anomalies which have, in my opinion, geometric explanations.

In my opinion the geometric design of the entrance passage encoded a cycle of 25,920 days as a model of 25,920 years. There is a peculiar nib at the bottom of the passage which is a picture of the equinox as a triangle with a height of sr3 digits and a slope length of 2 digits as the face of the very shallow step. This is the sign of the precession of the equinoxes.

In conclusion the pyramid was rather like a time machine with a geometric mechanism designed to lock the king into the celestial cycles in perpetuity. It was possible for the priests to calculate conjunctions such as a full moon on the night before the equinox many years in advance. The priests did not need to enter the pyramid to discover its mysteries because they had been part of the design team.
