Hi all ...
Here is an interesting site which shows how geometrically the angles of The Bent Pryamid could have been dervied.
I have taken this one step further and think I have shown once again the amazing ingenuity and craftmanship and knowledge, especially geometrical knowledge of these Pyramid Builders.
After reading the article please take a look at these images I have done. It is amazing ...
Firstly we have 6/7ths with ratio of base of The Bent Pyramid to base of The Red Pyramid
then we have 5/7ths with the seked of top portion of The Bent Pyramid
and then we have 4/7th AND 3/7ths with the actual geometry which is involved in this construction. Tragic are those who still fall for the old faulty constrcution reason for changing the angle. It is now quite obvious they knew full well what they were doing and they were truly The Master Builders !
Here is
THE HEXAGON which defines the slope angle of the bottom of The Bent Pyramid
Here is
THE PENTAGON which defines the slope angle at the top portion of The bent Pyramid
and here they are together unbelievably absolutely identical to The Bent Pyramid and accounting perfectly for the reason it was bent where it was. This was no accident folks this was simply showing us in another way THE PERFECT UNION OF THE HEXAGON AND THE PENTAGON, the perfect union of a 5 sided pentagon and the 6 sided Hexagon which I have shown exists elsewhere in Egyptian art and buildings AND AT GIZA !
It is truly amazing and an enlightenment as far as Dashur goes.
and now showing the 4/7ths and 3/7ths rectangle it produces.
simply amazing !
By the way the smaller square of the Pentagon in these images reflects EXACTLY where the bend is in the The Bent Pyramid. This occuring by chance I would hazard a guess is nil.
Best Regards
Don Barone
