One of the questions that I wondered about was whether the Meydum pyramid - also attributed to Sneferu should be included in my analysis. This pyramid was also thought by Petrie to exhibit the same 14:11 ratio as Khufu’s. Petrie in the nature article referenced in my paper argued for a pi theory for this pyramid as well. There’s a couple of interesting points:
1. It’s baselength of 275 Royal Cubits makes it’s semi base 137.5 Royal Cubits. Very close to the mean retrogradation period of Saturn which is 138 days. If we were to assume a pi theory or geometrical design, 137.5 would be an important number in degrees for the golden angle - the division of a 360 degree circle into the proportions of the golden ratio or phi is approximately 137.5 degrees. On its own this doesn’t allow us to differentiate between a geometric design and a Saturn observation design.
2. Legon in his article on the Meydum pyramid [www.legon.demon.co.uk] shows that the height of the entrance to this pyramid at 35 Cubits when subtracted from the overall height yields 140 Cubits with a 110 cubit semi-base at the entrance. Per my paper and in reference to MacMann, 140 days is the maximum retrogradation period of Saturn.
3. The height of the entrance at 35 Cubits is one fifth of the height of the pyramid. Returning to Ossendrijver (Procedure Texts) on Saturn System B sigma zig zag function:

For Saturn: the height is 14;4,42,30, the depth 11;14,2,30, the difference 0;12

The height 14, the depth 11 and the difference 0;12 means 0 +12/60 or one fifth. As such, I think it belongs in my Saturn theory.
