Sorry but have to disagree with you Clive as all three measurement systems, Metric, English and Ancient Egyptian are based on each other and inter-related AND USED at Giza.

440 cubits = 9072 (9071.94) inches = 756 (755.995) feet

1512 (cubits) distance from center of G1 to south face of G3 divided by Pi = 481.28 = height of G1 in FEET

There are a million more ...

PS: On Gravity ...

Firstly we are aware that the gravity on Earth can be anywhere between 9.78 and 9.81

9.79317 is about in the middle.

From an earlier post:

To work it would need to be if we work backwards ...

9072.00 x 's Pi = 28500.528553366604259333100773112 (28500 / Pi = 9071.8317562380341388263745122333 = 439.9949947 cubits)

28500 / 20.618033988 = 1382.2850430623429995413437340912 cubits per second

1382.2850430623429995413437340912 x's 147.76 = 204246.43796289180161222895014932 cubits

204246.43796289180161222895014932 cubits = 4211160 inches EXACTLY !

4211160 inches = 106963.67792735585471170942341885 meters

106963.67792735585471170942341885 meters x's 2 = 213927.35585471170942341884683769 meters

213927.35585471170942341884683769 meters / 21833.0176 = 9.7983411992812074416785541746503

So if we have the force of gravity on and at The Giza Plateau of 9.79834 we would have a perfect fit for ...

So yes it works because we set it to start that way but it is definitely proof a relationship between Pi and gravity exists I should think.

From Tommi

... If we take 10,000,000 times the distance between G1 - G3 center base then the time an object would fall this length with acceleration of gravity that at Giza(Khufu pyramid and altitude 70 meters) is:

t = 43725 seconds of time = 12 hours 8 minutes 45 seconds

The acceleration of gravity comes out to:

g = 9.793 m/sec^2
