Hi all ...

Taking a design of John Legon, this has been suggested.

Image 1:



Image 2:



198 = 1

280 / 198 = 1.414141 (Exact would be 198 x sq rt 2 = 280.014 14/1000ths of a cubit)

Below all red lines equal sq root of 2 when 198 = 1 unit



Some more very interesting square roots of 2 ...



and these two interesting images ...





and with this explantion ...

in the diagram please note that there is segment of a circle. In fact it is exactly 1/4 or a circle and ... well you all are going to enjoy this .... the radius of the circle is 280 cubits. Thus THE CIRCUMFERENCE of the circle is 280 x 2 x Pi = 1759.29189 sq cubits. BUT the segment of the circle we can see and that is scribed is 1/4 of that. Divide 1759.29189 by 4 and we get 439.823 CUBITS. This matches EXACTLY the distance of the average side of The Great Pyramid in cubits. So the arc distance of this segment is exactly the same as the base of the pyramid and is 2.222222 units

Which leads to this diagram ...



and this explanation ...

If we use 99 as a base 1 unit we get

99 = 1

198 = 2

220 = 2.22222222222222

440 = 4.44444444444444

280 = 280/99 = 2.8282 = square root of 8

green line = square root of 12

Purple line = sq root of 16 = 4 units

Now we will draw in the square root of 3 arc ...



and the other side ...



and drawing the tangent line to the sq root of 3 circle (arc segment)



and tying in the last "shaft"



Can't vouch for the accuracy of this image but trying to tie in the underground chambre as well ...



From these diagrams it would appear to be a simple matter to lay these things out and that square root of 2 and square root of 3 were major influences on the design and placement of the shatfs as were sq rt of 2 and 3 on The Giza Plateau.

Very interesting ... isn't it ?
