Jacob:
Sorry but an individual's "estimate" does not fly in this subject...there are too many "close to factual" calculations already. I must stay with Petrie's measure of the base casing stones for all three pyramids.

Petrie measured to precision but "assumed" incorrectly with his calculations.
I want you to clearly understand that none of the three were actually built on the ratios calculated from the base casings...they were intentionally cut at these angles to provide two sets of values for each structure.

As for G3...your 5/4 ratio of 51.34 degrees is the "actual" slope of G1 as viewed today, but it is not applicable to G3. Stay with the 1.24:1 ratio given...believe me...there's a reason.


Best.
Clive
