Introducing The Golden Mean:

Hi Jim (Allison) I believe I am the first and only one so far who has noticed that if one takes the right upper intersection of the Queen's and King's shafts and use as a line the centre of The King's Chamber and then as a final line the opposite side of The GP one is treated to a ratio, a Golden ratio. This is mainly what I had discovered before after the startling revelation from John Legon that a projection of the right shafts of The Queens and Kings meet at a point at the same elevation as the top of the pyramid. This to me was an amazing discovery by John and seemed to define several of Nicolas Poussin's paintings as well as The Wood Pentagram.

However on analyzing your diagram much more has revealed itself to me.

Observe this diagram ...



On this diagram are some amazing things. Firstly let's take a look at distance GH. This distance is the same ( as near as I can tell) to distance AE and DF which in turn is equal to 0.618033988 of the overall distance of DC which is equal to 1.618033988 or The Golden Mean but it does not stop there.

If we use distance GH as a base unit and draw a square with sides of distance GH [ square = GHJI where GH = HJ = JI = IG] we get the lower side of this square to define (apparently exactly) the bottom of a golden rectangle with overall length DC. This is extremely interesting however we are still not done.

If we draw a line joining the diagonal points of this rectangle [Line BD] we define (again apparently exactly) the right shaft of The King's Chamber. As a proof of this in a triangle of sides 1 and 1.618033988 the tan angle of these sides is 31.718 and this is well within any tolerances of anyone who has ever measured the angle as it appears to vary from around 30.5 to 32.6 degrees. However we still are not done just quite yet. A line [ Line BI] joining our top right point of our rectangle and drawn to a point directly under the point where the left Kings Chamber shaft exists the pyramid [point I] appears to define again apparently exactly the right side Queen's Chamber shaft.

So it appears to me that there can be little doubt as to The Golden Mean and also a Golden Rectangle being incorporated into The Great Pyramid and I think that if the drawing was exactly to scale the projection of the right side Kings Chamber shaft downward would hit the circle where line GI crosses it and the right side Queens Chamber shaft would hit point "I" exactly.
