MJ:

You started this thread with the following....
"...It occurs to me that if I wanted to convey through geometry that I knew pi (be it as the irrational number 3.1415926xxx or the approximation 22/7),

"pi" is set...you are stuck with it...no issue.

A cotangent is the inverse of a tangent and a tangent is the opposite side of the angle compared to the adjacent side (SOCATOH)...the 4/pi is the "tangent".

What's with all of these decimals suddenly?

How can you actually type such nonsense?
The term "pi" was derived by a mathematician 2,600 years ago who "discovered" that the circumference of a circle measures (3 + 1/7th) of its diameter. He actually ran about town telling everybody.
Now you are attempting to convince the reading public that it's "a product of fairly sophisticated mathematics". Since when were you the judge ?

You avoided the first part of my question...answer that then I'll follow .

It does not...!
It shows that you "assumed" the total perimeter is equal to the pi ratio and I'm being the Devil's advocate by explaining that it is equal to the sum of integers and the sqrt of one of those values.
You tell me that AE mathematical papyrus does not provide proof of the AE understanding pi and now you are driving your car from the other side of the road...all within 24 hours of posting.

MJ...please...!

But they did provide information of its whereabouts...in fact...the exact point of entry.

Then why didn't they use this simple 2:1 arrangement for the Queen's Chamber?

It's not rhetoric...never been discussed previously.
It's actually confirming what you are trying to suggest regarding the Kc walls, but you are missing the point once more.
Recalculate all that you know of the Kc and review what I typed...then you will see the connection.

Best.
