Hi Hermione


How do you build a pyramid?

Quote "Yes, I've already asked a similar question (but not received any reply). What would they have found significant about these numbers? How would their lives have been improved thereby ... ?'

Ok what is 687

Yes 68.7 miles is 1 degree of latitude at the equator

687 is the number of days in 1 year on mars.

Now think about 6.87 and take its square root the Egyptians knew square roots.

2.621 or twice phi

Take its square root

1.6189 close to phi take its square root. Its approximate but still close. Take the square root

1.272388 the slant angle of the pyramid

The slant angle of the pyramid 1.272388 multiplies by half the base say 378 = 480.962 imperial feet the height of the pyramid.

Now 687 is good for the actual base length or nearly 687.07 but 687.5 for the royal cubit of 440 and 687.5 Indus feet 13.2 inches = 440 royal cubits of 20.625 inches.

Many have seen the royal cubit is just a little to long for the actual base of the pyramid.

There is a reason.
