Richard Parker was professor at Brown University and wrote much on astronomical texts, so read Parker's works (12 volumes) then the work of those he referred to.

Neugebauer pointed out that it is not possible to exclude a date of origin for the cycle 'say 500 BC' but wherever I first read comment on this matter I knew immediately that my model of the Queen's Chamber of the Great Pyramid was based on this cycle because I had assigned a length of 309 digits to the length of the chamber or 365 digits including 56 digits (2 cubits) to the back of the niche.

I published a website with full colour illustrations showing how ratios in the design complemented the overall design of the pyramid.

For example , the centre of the niche is displaced 34 digits from the centre of the chamber and 365 x 34 digits = 9125 x 34 x 1/25 digits
Therefore, 1 digit + (9 x 1/34 digits) appears symbolic of a day, as a length of 34/25 x 20.61 inches x 1/ 28 = ? inches

The length from the NE corner of the NE corner socket to the SE corner of the SE corner socket is 440 cubits + 90 digits at north end plus 90 digits at south end = 9125 x 34 x 1/25 digits

The same length of 9125 x 34 x 1/25 digits can be calculated from the King's Chamber Circle with a diameter of 20 cubits:

The side length of a square equal to the area of a circle with a diameter of 20 cubits is 365 x 34 x 1/25 digits for the pi approximation 22/7.

Floor of chamber is raised so cubic diagonal is '25' cubits.

Therefore, '25' x 365 x 34 x 1/25 digits = 9125 x (34 x 1/25 digits) = 9125 days in the east-side length of the foundations of the pyramid = 25 calendar years

(440 cubits + 90/28 cubits) = 9135 inches

John Taylor spotted that the side length of the corner sockets is close to 366 x 24.93 inches which is close to Newton's biblical cubit of 24.82 inches

Taylor saw 366 to 116.5 as a close pi approximation.

Smyth took up Taylor's theory having spotted the King's Chamber Circle so predicted the side length of pyramid as 25 x 365.242 x 1.001 inches

It is actually 440 cubits from Petrie's theory.
