Hi Clive ...

Among a few new little oddities I have stumbled onto are these interesting co-incidences

First of all we know (or should know) that 440 x 20.618033988 or 20 + Phi = 9071.935 or 756 feet. Interesting but standing alone proves little. However I am sure I have read somewhere that the cubit may have also been 20.625

So let's have some fun. Let's imagine that instead of cubits the pyramids are on a scale of 1 cubit = 1 inch so that 440 cubits actually equals 440 inches. What would we have ?

Well 440 inches divided by 20.625 = 21.333333333333333333333333333333 or 21 and 1/3 cubit ... If we leave it at 20.62 we get 21.3385 and if we use 20.618033988 we get 21.34 Definitely in the ballpark. (NOTE: 21.33333 x's 20.618033988 = 439.85)

Okay so what do we have for Pyramid 2 ... 8472 inches divided by 20.618033988 = 410.90 / 20.618033988 = 19.93 cubits If we divided 410.9 by 20.62 we get 19.927 and if we use 20.625 we get 440/60.625 = 19.922 (about 19. and 11/12ths ) If we use 19.9166 x's 20.625 we get 410.78 Again definitely in the ballpark.

Difference is 1.4 "cubits" to 19.93 and 1.41666 [1 and 5/12ths EXACTLY ] if we use 19.9166 (19 and 11/12ths)

Moving to pyramid 3 we get ... 4154 / 20.62 = 201.455 however if we use 201 + or - we get this interesting result ... 201.09375 / 20.625 = 9.75 or 9 and 3/4rds

Difference of 11.5833 [ 11 and 5/12ths EXACTLY] from P1 and 10.16666666 from Pyramid 2 or 10 and 1/6th

So if I were an ancient Egyptian draftsman I would probably have drawn it to scale on a piece of whatever and used one inch = 1 cubit So my pyramid would have been 21 and 1/3rd inches long. Well now that's that mystery solved (approx 13 and 4/7ths inches high)

PS: 21.333333333 inches would have been about 29/30ths of a cubit

21.33333/20.625 = 0.96647034322265132100959000786089

29.00000/20.625 = 0.96666666666666666666666666666667

Difference of 2/10,000 ths

Hmmmm ... 29/30ths eh ???????????

We would then have 29 by 18 and 5/11ths ... Hmmmm
