Hi Mark,

You have presented an interesting possibility here, but a geometric design intent is not the only possible conclusion you could reach. For example, taking a counter-position and leveraging the possible Saturn design theme I identified for Khufu’s pyramid, I could make an argument that in fact the numbers bear out a design based on various features of the Saturn design concept. The question then is how do we falsify a hypothesis, or at least evaluate options to determine which hypothesis is likely.
To draw out the Saturn example, and taking the 27 x 9.5 Royal Cubits bedrock floor measurements you presented, calculating the perimeter (assuming a fully enclosed rectangle with those dimensions) would yield a perimeter of 73 Royal Cubits, half of which is 36.5 cubits. This result is not particularly informative but there is a possible relationship with the known length of the Egyptian calendar year of 365 days. Expressing the 27 Cubits length in digits is 756 digits, half of which is 378, a good proxy for Saturn’s synodic period of 378.09 days. The retrogradation period of Saturn - the period in which it appears to enter reverse motion varies between ~136 days and ~140 days. The analytically derived mean is 138 days, an observed value of which was definitely known by the Ptolemaic era. Observational error of +/-2 days could be expected making 137 (or half the proposed design height in cubits) a possibility for either the minimum or mean retrogradation period.
