This has to be the most ridiculous post ever in Don's increasingly ludicrous claims.

To claim evidence for the values of square roots being encoding into "Ka" statues based on a few dodgy lines on ONE photograph really does stretch credulity beyond breaking point.

To be able to claim any statistical significance you'd have to compare many different "Ka" statues and all the other representations of the symbolism for "Ka". You'd also have to show that the Ancient Egyptians could have calculated these measurements and had any interest in encoding them.

As the statue is wood and 3,000 years old the chances of it still being the size it was originally is slight. Wood shrinks along the grain so any contraction won't necessarily be in proportion. Has Don checked whether this statue was originally plaster coated (many were) or whether it's been restored? If it has how was it when originally found etc etc.

The points Don has chosen are arbitrary and superimposed on a photo of unknown accuracy as many images on the web become distorted due to the system of pixels used (which is why diagrams of Giza taken from the web and used at a small scale are useless).

The claims are so large that the evidence has to be compelling but this isn't evidence of anything.

This whole business is getting depressing as more and more of this trivial nonsense is touted as being of some significance.

The only thing it is evidence of is how deluded some people can become when they fixate on one obsession and ignore the bigger picture and view everything through the very modern computer screen.

It's not a substitute for real research and a basic knowledge of the subject.
