Thanks for all your detailed replies, even though we have gone off my topic.

In answer to your question on my topic:

I am struggling to differentiate between what I can see in the design and what the architect saw in the design because my observations can be dismissed as a coincidence if the perimeter was designed to be 73 cubits as a representation of the cattle count.

Therefore, I am working on a line of reasoning based on documentary evidence to a support my hypothesis having found something which I think has been overlooked by others in the interpretation of a text.

It may be some months before I present my case.

I recall I once had another theory based on Egyptological literature from long ago only to be advised that what was written is now regarded as being incorrect which I accepted as probably the case.

In this case I have relied on my research on ancient Egyptian mathematics then considered the design of several pyramids.

I now have a series of three pyramids belonging to Sneferu, Khufu and Khafre for which I can explain the size and shape of the pyramid as a feature of either a chamber under the peak of the pyramid or a burial chamber, or the case of Khafre's pyramid both.

Mark.
