It has been shown that for The Sakkara Ostracon the best fit ellipse is semi-major axis 255.8612 and semi-minor axis of 178.0540

This yields a ratio of 1 to 1.43698653

I decided to see if it was incorporated at Giza and it appears it has.

Distance from south side of G3 to center line of of G1 on the east west trajectory yields this startling fact.

Distance N-S = 1732.35 cubits - 220 (1/2 G1) = 1512.35 (+ or -)

1512.35 / 1.43698653 = 1052.45 cubits

Base of G1 = 440.00 cubits

Base of G2 = 411.04 cubits

Base of G3 = 201.42 cubits
===================

Total = 1052.46

==================

Checks for 1/100th of a cubit



And meanwhile over at Pyramid of Sekhemkhet and his enclosure we get this: Overall outside length / width: 1052 x 360 cubits (enclosure walls: 6 cubits thick (~3.142 m).

So we have the fact that the bases of all three pyramids at Giza could be placed almost exactly within the complex at The Pyramid of Sekhemkhet. Quite the co-incidences I should think.
