Hi Robin,

However, the point being addressed here is the height of the Red - if this is supposed to be 200 cubits (whether base is 420 or 418) it will intersect the Bent casing around 115 cubits from centre. The discrepancy, a few cubits, is too large to ignore. Therefore, the Red cannot be an 'exact' copy of the Bent. Rather the Red must be higher than 200 cubits to satisfy a perfect 'fit' at the bendline.
The assumption about a height of the Red Pyramid of 200 cubits is used for simplification when precision is not needed (for example in wiki) or by adepts of round numbers.
In order for the pyramid with the base 418c to have a height of 200c, its angle of slope should be 43° 44' which is about 1° less than the actual (Petrie's 44° 36'; Dorner's 44° 44').
In "Neue Messungen an der Roten Pyramide" Dorner gives 6 measurements for the angle of slope: 44° 55', 44° 18', 44° 35', 44° 44', 45° 01', 44° 52'. But concludes that "Obwohl die Ergebnisse mit einer Ausnahme unter 50g [45°] liegen, wird man doch davon ausgehen durfen, das ein Boschungsverhaltnis von 1:1 bzw. ein seked von 28 Fingerbreiten geplant war."
I do not share his point of view and believe that the angle of inclination is about 44° 40' (average for Petrie's and Dorner's data)
For the given angle of slope the height is 209c * tg(44,67°) = 206,58c.

The horizontal distance from the centre to the 10/7 line, where it cuts the bend is 118 cubits, or with the root 2 slope it is 117.36.
For the Red pyramid with slope of 44° 40' the horizontal distance from the center to the casing plane at the level of 90c is 117,95c which is quite close to 118,16c for the Bent pyramid (55°).
Quote
The essential point is that the lower Bent approximates root two.
I discussed this with John Legon in academia session about two months ago and I stayed with my opinion.
When I hear that the ancients wanted to "encode" the approximation of the root of two in the proportions of the Bent pyramid, I ask what ratio they wanted to encode in the proportions of the Red pyramid (assuming that two consecutive pyramids of one king should be built on the basis of similar ideas and principles).

The proposition that Betelgeuse and Alnitak culminated on the Meridiam simultaneously in the pyramid age, at altitudes similar to the slope angles of the Bent pyramid
Chris wrote: "
The earlier ‘Bent’ pyramid is orientated about 12’ west of north that corresponds to the vertical alignment c. 2630. Betelgeuse the uppermost star in the vertical alignment was 54.52° above the horizon and Alnitak, the middle star, 44.53°. These two angles are similar to the angles of incline for the lower and upper parts of the ‘Bent’ pyramid. The ‘Red’ pyramid is orientated about 5’ west of north that corresponds to the vertical alignment c. 2590. Alnitak was 44.7° above the horizon, which again is similar to the angle of incline of the pyramid."
As we know the angle of slope for upper part of the Bent pyramid is 43°-43.5° while Alnitak had altitude 44.53°, more than 1° higher.
Proposed scheme explains angles of slope of the Red pyramid and the lower part of the Bent, but does not explain its upper part.
Alex.
