Checking another site we find this:

... Planned as a 120 m square pyramid, rising up to a height of some 70 m in seven steps and set within a 500 x 200 m enclosure, this building project was much more ambitious than that of king Djoser, though ultimately the untimely death of the king caused construction to come to an abrupt halt at an early stage, never to be completed. ...

and on another we have this:

... Technical

Perimeter wall: 262m x 185x


This would give us, as Nick over at Graham's brought to my attention, a square root triangle rectangle or 185 x 1.414125 = 261.62950903902258402831241397879 OH OH GETTING AWFULLY CLOSE TO PHI SQUARED !

261.80339887498948482045868343656 would give us 185.123

Unless of course you believe they measured exactly 262 meters and 185 meters. Either scenario requires knowing metric and this is very odd as well.

After enlargement: 500m x 185m ... This gives us a ratio of 1 to 2.7 and seems to me, I will have to go through my notes but I claimed that The Great Pyramid was a scale model of The Giza Plateau in the ratio of 1 to 5.4

all very interesting and most enjoyable.

However it would be great if we had the correct measurements of the enclosure.

Does anyone have them ?

They range from (518 x 183) to (500 x 200) to (500 x 185)

What the heck is going on here and what is the correct answer ?

Don Barone
