Hi Hermione,

Thanks for the link.

I have two questions to all on the following drawing:



1) Was there any reason the architect chose the 7:11 grid, or was this choice arbitrary? If the choice is reasonable, can we determine the cause?

2) Why is the King's chamber shifted south of pyramid's axis, after all the length of the Grand Gallery could be adjusted so that the chamber would be on the axis (like the Queen's chamber)? What other reason, besides the need to construct shafts with different prechosen angles, could cause the architect to move the chamber off the axis?

Alex.
